Zhunti: It's fine, I can keep poaching! This peacock is an even better catch!
The two Saint, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master, fought without holding back in the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation!
Outside the great formation, everyone could only sense the terrifying fluctuations emanating from within, enough to make even Daluo Golden Immortal tremble with fear, but they were completely unable to discern anything about it.
Saint Zhunti gazed at the violently churning array of yellow sand, he sighed inwardly.
He had originally set his sights on the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect, each of whom possessed extraordinary potential. If he could convert some of them to the West, it would surely lead to the great prosperity of his Western Teachings.
He had already prepared all the follow-up plans for poaching employees.
But who could have imagined that these Twelve Golden Immortals would disappear just like that?
Not one was left out; they were all listed on the Investiture of the Gods the Gods.
This caused all his plans to fall through.
However, the look of distress on Zhunti's face lasted only a moment.
His gaze quickly fell on Kong Xuan, who was not far away.
It's a pity that the Twelve Golden Immortals are gone.
But Kong Xuan alone is worth as much as all Twelve Golden Immortals combined, or even more!
Peak Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, the first tier below the Saint.
With such combat prowess, across the entire Primordial Wilderness, how many people besides Saint could rival him?
If he could be converted to the Western Teachings, then the Western Teachings would immediately possess a top-tier combatant at the level of a Primordial Origin Golden Immortal.
This is truly an unexpected joy, a great opportunity bestowed upon the Western Teachings by Heavenly Dao!
As for the Tongtian Sect Master?
He's currently locked in a fierce battle with Yuanshi Tianzun, so he has no time to spare for Kong Xuan.
Zhunti's mind raced, but his smile grew even wider.
He walked slowly to Kong Xuan and spoke gently.
"Kong Xuan, you have a great karmic connection with my Western Teachings."
"I humbly request that you accompany me to the Western Pure Land, where we may share in its tranquility and jointly comprehend the Great Dao."
Kong Xuan looked at Zhunti in front of him with an Zhunti.
Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.
Zhunti Kong Xuan's stubbornness, Zhunti simply sighed softly.
So be it.
Since kind words of advice are ineffective, we'll have to resort to some methods.
"Since you remain stubbornly unenlightened, I have no choice but to forcibly take you back to the Western Teachings and enlighten you slowly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Saint Zhunti stopped wasting words and took action immediately.
With a gentle flick of his Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, seven-colored light, like a colorful river, swept towards Kong Xuan.
He held back in this attack.
After all, he's a future protector we've chosen; it wouldn't be good to damage him.
What he wanted was suppression, not annihilation.
Kong Xuan forcibly suppressed his surging blood and qi, and the originally dim Five-Colored Divine Light behind him burst forth again.
Brush!
The Five-Colored Divine Light collided with the seven-colored precious light.
There was no suspense whatsoever.
It lasted for less than half a breath before the newly formed Five-Colored Divine Light shattered with a deafening roar.
The immense backlash struck, forcing Kong Xuan to kneel on one knee, and the ground instantly cracked open, revealing countless bottomless ravines.
But he gritted his teeth, stubbornly refusing to fall, his spine ramrod straight.
"Huh?"
Zhunti out a soft exclamation, but instead of getting angry, the eagerness on his face intensified.
As expected of the son of Yuanfeng, the number one peacock in the world!
Despite being severely injured, he was still able to withstand one of his own attacks!
The stronger their power, the greater the benefits they will bring to our Western Teachings after they have been converted!
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you just surrender?"
Zhunti once again wielded the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. This time, the seven-colored light transformed into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, slowly pressing down.
The giant hand descended, carrying the irresistible will of Saint.
Kong Xuan felt his bones cracking and popping, a sign that his body was about to collapse under the immense pressure.
A feeling of despair spread through my heart.
Is this what Saint is?
No matter how brilliant one's talent, before Saint, one is still merely a slightly stronger ant.
Just as the giant hand was about to completely capture Kong Xuan.
Tear--!
A golden sword aura tore through the void without warning.
This sword energy was not sharp; instead, it carried a majestic and weighty aura, as if it bore the will and beliefs of billions of living beings.
Where the sword energy passed, space was easily sliced apart like a canvas.
The colossal hand formed from the divine light of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree was as fragile as paper before this sword energy, and was instantly cleaved in two!
Boom!
The shattered Saint light of the saint transformed into a shower of light that fell from the sky.
Kong Xuan, who had been restrained, suddenly felt a lightness in his body, as if all the pressure had disappeared.
"Who?!"
Saint Zhunti frowned slightly and looked in the direction from which the sword light had come.
Dao Body slowly emerged from the void.
The newcomer was dressed in a black royal robe, with a dignified face, and Surrounding Body by a vast Human Path Fortune.
This was none other than the great merchant emperor, Di Xin.
"Di Xin greets the Saint Zhunti."
Di Xin's figure slowly appeared, and he nodded Zhunti, neither humble nor arrogant.
Zhunti's gaze was fixed Zhunti on Di Xin.
A storm raged within him.
Di Xin?
This physical appearance certainly befits the current Human Emperor.
But this cultivation level...
Who exactly are you?
"Are you Di Xin, or a reincarnation of one of your fellow cultivators from the Huoyun Cave?"
If, now that things have come to this, he still doesn't understand that the person before him is far more than just an ordinary emperor, then he would be unworthy of being called a saint.
Even if a mere Human Emperor Human Path Fortune, he could never possess such cultivation, let alone break through my attack!
Di Xin did not answer his question directly.
Who I am is not important.
"The important thing is that I am now Emperor Xin."
He paused, then continued.
"Kong Xuan is a general of our Great Shang Dynasty, who guards the borders for our Great Shang Dynasty and has made great contributions."
"We hope that the Saint will spare him out of consideration for the Human Clan."
Upon Zhunti this, Di Xin gave Di Xin a deep look, then glanced at Kong Xuan behind him.
After a long while, he slowly shook his head.
"No."
"This person has a great karmic connection with the West; today, this humble Daoist must take him away."
"Your Human Emperor, it's best if you don't interfere."
How could a Saint give up a battle power of a Primordial Origin Golden Immortal just because of a few words from a Human Emperor?
Even if this Human Emperor is the reincarnation of those from the Huoyun Cave, it won't work.
Upon hearing this, Di Xin sighed softly.
"Since that's the case, then I'll have no choice but to experience the Saint's methods today."
"Such arrogance."
Zhunti seemed to have heard a joke.
"Human Emperor, I am only reluctant to attack you because you possess the Human Path Fortune."
"Don't go too far."
"If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for suppressing you all!"
"As long as it doesn't take your life, I can withstand the slight backlash from the negative influence of Human Path Fortune."
Despite the Saint's threat, Di Xin remained calm.
He slowly raised his right hand.
Buzz!
A long sword with an ancient design and its entire body wreathed in dark gold light appeared in his hand.
An ancient longsword with mountains, rivers, the Sun, Moon, and Stars engraved on its blade.
The Human Emperor Sword!
Di Xin held the Human Emperor Sword, pointing Zhunti from afar.
"Saint Zhunti, come and fight!"
Zhunti gazed at the longsword radiating boundless Human Path Fortune, the sorrow on his face finally transformed into a hint of anger.
Stubborn to the end!
"Since you insist on courting death, then I will grant your wish!"
"Watch me subdue you!"
Without further ado, the Saint Zhunti made his move again. The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree appeared in his hand, radiating seven-colored light, and he swept it down towards Di Xin!
