Chapter 231 A Heaven-Reaching Scheme Unfolds, Four Saints Gather in Xiqi!
The gathering of the four saints was a powerful and awe-inspiring event!
But below Jiepai Pass, the Holy Mother Jinling had climbed to a high place and was looking out, taking in the entire situation.
Golden Spirit Mother arrived at the formation and reported to Tongtian Jiaozhu: "Master, just now two clouds of light descended from the Xiqi camp. I observed them with my Qi-gazing technique and found that the two saints from the Western Sect had arrived!"
"Now that Xiqi has gathered its four sages, their military might is aimed directly at the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. What should we do?"
The Tongtian Sect Leader said, "The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is the number one ultimate formation in the primordial world. This formation is extremely fierce and can transform the accumulated primordial tribulation energy between heaven and earth into its own use!"
"The Ten Heavenly Kings had previously set up the Ten Deadly Formations in Xiqi, which had also eliminated a lot of the malevolent energy."
"The calamity has subsided, the malevolent energy has been extinguished!"
"When the world is at peace, the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods will naturally dissipate. This time, I intend to use the hands of the Four Sages to purify the primordial evil energy between heaven and earth!"
"Once the evil aura dissipates, you will be able to protect yourselves and will not have to go through the ordeal of going up on the list."
The scheme of the Tongtian Sect Leader can be described as an open conspiracy. Although the Four Sages knew there was a trick involved, they were helpless against it.
However, the four sages are not to be trifled with either; each of them has their own schemes. Now that the four sages have gathered together, it is the will of Heaven.
"Teacher, please have mercy!"
Upon hearing this, all the disciples bowed down again.
"Previously, the three religions jointly discussed the important matter of the Investiture of the Gods, and the Chan and Jie religions also entered the calamity. The Chan religion has few disciples, and even if all of them were to be listed, they would not be able to gather 365 righteous gods. Therefore, the Jie religion will suffer a great calamity!"
"The Heavenly Court has 365 righteous gods, each holding the power of the Heavenly Way, and those who cultivate here are the gods."
"Long ago, in the ancient Heavenly Court, three hundred and sixty-five demon gods were born. They held innate authority over the stars, and each of them was a Great Luo Golden Immortal!"
"The Great Way resides within, but one cannot attain true freedom here!"
"The path of the gods is good, but it has many limitations. You are all my personally taught disciples, each of you is a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Why bother going to such lengths to climb that list?"
The Master of Heaven couldn't help but sigh.
The paths of gods and immortals have vastly different meanings.
The divine path emphasizes authority, and cultivation relies entirely on incense offerings and vows. The immortal path, on the other hand, offers great freedom and liberation, cultivating the profound Dao fruit, which contains immense Dao practice and profound magical power.
"The gathering of the four sages is a matter of destiny!"
"Even the mighty Zhuxian Sword Formation, the most powerful formation in the primordial world, seems unable to defy the will of Heaven!"
"However, the teachings of the Jie Sect emphasize going against the will of Heaven, focusing on seizing a sliver of hope and then seeking life from the brink of death."
"Now that fate has been decided, there should be a glimmer of hope in the unseen realm. Could it be that this great opportunity has fallen upon my disciple, Duobao?"
At this moment, guided by the secrets of heaven, the Master of the Heavenly Sect seemed to have grasped some heavenly secret, and he murmured to himself.
As Tongtian Jiaozhu said, there is a glimmer of hope for the Jie Sect, and the opportunity lies with Duobao.
This time, the two Western Saints traveled to the East to enlighten three thousand mortals and go to the West to comprehend the Great Dao.
This group of disciples of the Jie Sect had a strong connection with the West. After joining the Western Sect, they became the backbone of the Western Sect, which sowed the seeds of future trouble.
Later, Lao Tzu went to the barbarians to convert to Buddhism, which led to the establishment of Theravada Buddhism by Daoist Duobao, thus perfecting the path of Arhatship.
This group of disciples of the Jie Sect revered Duobao Daoist as their leader, and further disrupted the Buddhist order.
The Sage Taiqing used the "golden cicada shedding its shell" strategy to turn Western Theravada Buddhism into a rebranded version of the Jie Sect.
The calculations involved are nothing short of defying the heavens!
As for the other disciples, although they died on the list, they also gained power over the primordial world and became righteous gods of the Heavenly Court. They are expected to become Great Luo Golden Immortals in the future.
Previously, Laozi had subdued Duobao, and Tongtian Jiaozhu, having comprehended the secrets of heaven, understood that Duobao possessed such a destiny. Therefore, he did not intervene to prevent it from ruining his disciple's cultivation.
The two sides met early the next morning.
Then, the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects lined up and stepped forward, and golden bells and jade chimes rang out in the arena.
Before long, four more cult leaders arrived.
Below Jiepai Pass, before the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
The Sage Taiqing arrived riding backwards on a green ox. He looked at the Water and Fire Children and said, "You should quickly report to Tongtian that the four of us have come here to break the Immortal Slaughtering Formation."
"Call him out to see me!"
The Water and Fire Boy was the attendant of the Tongtian Sect Master. He held an extremely high position in the Jie Sect, no less than the second-generation disciples, and was comparable to the White Crane Boy of the Chan Sect.
Upon hearing this, the two obeyed and bowed deeply.
He then bid farewell to the four saints and hurriedly came to the formation to convey the words of the Taiqing Saint to the Tongtian Sect Leader.
A short while later, the Tongtian Sect Leader led a group of disciples out of the Zhuxian Formation and came to the Four Saints.
Looking at the four leaders, Tongtian then asked Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti, "Fellow Daoists, as leaders of the Western Sect, why do you not seek blessings in that pure land, but instead come to the Eastern Land? What is your purpose?"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Zhunti smiled, pointed to the disciple behind Tongtian, and said, "Brother Tongtian, this humble Daoist greets you!"
"We two have come here only to fulfill a predestined obligation. We were cultivating in seclusion within our sect when we suddenly saw a brilliant red light blazing in the East. Upon closer inspection, we realized it was three thousand worldly travelers from your sect, who must have a connection with our great sect!"
"We have come here today specifically to convert these three thousand worldly beings, so that they may join our great sect and enjoy great freedom and liberation in the future!"
Zhunti Daoist's words were practically blatant robbery. Such shameless words infuriated Tongtong. They really thought he was an easy target.
"What a magnificent pair of Western Saints!"
"What a remarkable Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi!"
"You two have actually let wolves into the house, poaching my disciples! This act is undoubtedly destroying your own foundation!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader was furious. He didn't care about selling his own disciple's land, but he cared about his own disciple.
Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi actually used his disciples as bargaining chips to persuade the two Western sages, and he hasn't even agreed yet!
Emerging from the pure lotus platform, the wondrous teachings of the Three Vehicles are opened.
The exquisite relic transcends the mundane, the jeweled necklace is unparalleled.
Purple flames rise from the Eight Virtues Pool, and golden moss grows on the Seven Treasures Tree.
It is only because the East is full of handsome men that I came here to meet them and form a sacred embryo from a past life.
After the Guide finished singing, he looked at the Master of Heaven and said, "Fellow Daoist, your three thousand disciples are destined for the Western Paradise!"
"I humbly request that you, fellow Daoist, grant me this great opportunity. I would be eternally grateful!"
Having finally seized the opportunity to come here and guide outstanding talents, how could the Daoist Priest possibly give up so easily?
The West is a barren land, hence it produces few creatures!
Apart from Mount Ling and Mount Lingjiu, there are no other blessed lands or grotto-heavens. Compared with the Eastern Land, they are like clouds and mud!
The Eastern Continent is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources!
This place is full of outstanding talents, and the two emperors are eager for these virtuous men. How could they easily give them up?
"You're all a den of snakes and rats!"
"They actually dare to plot against disciples of the Intercepting Sect?"
The Tongtian Sect Leader is still alive, yet the Four Sages dare to openly plot against the Jie Sect, as if he doesn't exist!
This really angered the Tongtian Sect Leader!
"Words are useless!"
"Let's see who's truly capable!"
"You dare to scheme against me, relying on the favor of Heaven? Do you really think I'm an easy target?"
"What harm is there in having all four sages gathered together?"
"The sword in my hand is not without its weaknesses!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader ascended the Bagua Platform and once again unleashed the Zhuxian Sword Formation, intending to diminish the prestige of the Four Saints.
