Sending the Western Teachings to the Investiture of the Gods
Jieyin his hands together and said, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, how have you been? What has caused your anger?"
"Stop pretending to be confused!" Tongtian said sternly, holding the Qingping Sword. "Return my Jie Sect Disciple, or I will wipe out the Western Teachings."
Jieyin felt a chill run down his spine; he sensed that Tongtian's aura was completely different now.
Zhunti, standing beside Jieyin and holding the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, also noticed the abnormality.
He sensed it carefully, and his expression changed drastically. "You... you actually broke through to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal?!"
These words shocked everyone on Sumeru Mountain.
Buddha, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Vajras all stared in disbelief at the blue figure in the sky.
Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal!
An existence equal to a saint.
Tongtian chuckled coldly, twirling the Qingping Sword in his hand. "What? Have I disappointed you?"
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and apprehension in each other's eyes.
Almost instantly, they thought of one person— Dao Venerable Lin Tian!
Besides him, who else in the Primordial Wilderness could help Tongtian break through to the Hunyuan Grand Unity in such a short time?
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, everyone here has a karmic connection with my Western Teachings and has voluntarily converted to Buddhism. How can you talk about returning it?"
Jieyin maintained his compassionate expression.
"Voluntary?" Tongtian laughed, his laughter filled with mockery and murderous intent. "Do you think I'm stupid? Who doesn't know that your Western Teachings has a technique for salvation?"
"Jieyin, Zhunti, I haven't even settled accounts with you for planting spies in my Interception Sect before. Now you dare to openly kidnap my disciple? Do you really think Tongtian is easy to bully?!"
His words were filled with boundless anger.
Zhunti's face Zhunti, and he was about to speak in his defense when he saw that Tongtian had stopped talking nonsense.
He raised the Qingping Sword and, with all his might, slashed down at the main hall.
Before the two could react, Tongtian made his move.
"Laugh!"
The entire hall was split in two by this force, and there were still dozens of Western Teachings disciples inside who had not left.
"Not good!"
"Hurry up and run!"
However, under this immense power, all the disciples inside perished.
"Tongtian! What are you doing?!" Zhunti finally reacted, and flew into a rage. "How dare you directly kill a disciple of my Western Teachings?!"
The Jieyin's expression turned completely grim, devoid of any compassion, and murderous intent appeared on his face.
Tongtian stood with his sword drawn. "This is the consequence of plotting against my Interception Sect. Today, I will only destroy one of your main halls and kill a few dozen of your disciples as a warning. If there is a next time..."
His gaze swept across the entire Sumeru Mountain, his voice icy cold. "I'll send your entire Western Teachings onto the list, leaving no one alive!"
"Arrogant!" Zhunti could no longer contain himself. The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree transformed into a gigantic form, sweeping towards Tongtian. "Today I'll show you what it's like to be Hunyuan Grand Unity Immortal! We, the Two Sages of the West, are not to be trifled with!"
The Jieyin also moved.
He stopped talking and directly unleashed his Blessing Divine Pestle, attacking Tongtian from the left and right in coordination with Zhunti.
A great war has broken out!
Facing the combined attack of the two sages, Tongtian was not afraid at all. Instead, he laughed heartily, "Well done! Let me test the true power of the Hunyuan Grand Unity!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Jieyin and Zhunti fought, the more alarmed they became.
They discovered that although Tongtian's cultivation was one level lower than theirs after breaking through to the Hunyuan Grand Unity, he was no less powerful than any of them.
Is this the power of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal?
So powerful simply by relying on itself!
"All Buddhas Pay Homage to the Ancestor!"
"Bodhi Grand Formation!"
Countless phantom images of Buddha appeared in the air, chanting scriptures together.
The golden Buddha Light of Buddha transformed into a massive array, trapping Tongtian within it.
Within the formation, the Bodhi Tree cast swaying shadows, each leaf containing a transformative power, attempting to erode the Great Dao Origin that Tongtian.
Tongtian remained unfazed despite Trapping Formation.
He sheathed his Qingping Sword, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "Is that all you've got?"
As soon as he finished speaking, four sword lights shot into the sky from his body!
The Immortal Executing Sword!... Immortal Trapping Sword Immortal Slaying Sword! The Immortal Destroying Sword!
The four swords stood in four directions, their sword intent soaring to the sky, instantly breaking through the seal of the Buddha Light's light formation.
The Immortal Execution Sword Formation!
"Jieyin, Zhunti," Tongtian's voice echoed from within the formation, "Today, I will show you how my Immortal Execution Sword Formation differs from the ones before."
The sword formation activated, its killing intent soaring to the heavens.
The entire western sky was stained blood-red, and countless creatures knelt in terror, as if the end of the world had arrived.
"Tongtian! Do you truly intend to wage war against my Western Teachings to the death?!" Zhunti roared.
"A fight to the death?" Tongtian sneered. "From the moment you plotted against my Interception Sect, it has been a fight to the death."
Within the sword formation, the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi began to condense, transforming into a massive, blood-red sword that stretched across the heavens and earth, slowly slashing down towards Jieyin and Zhunti.
At this critical moment, two figures suddenly appeared in the sky above Sumeru Mountain.
"Tongtian, stop!"
"Tongtian! What are you doing?!"
The Taishang and the Yuanshi have arrived.
The Taishang rode Green Ox, holding Taiji Diagram in his hand, his expression solemn.
Yuanshi Shi's face turned ashen, his eyes filled with rage.
Tongtian saw the two of them, but his hand did not stop; the blood-red giant sword continued to slash downwards.
Taishang and Yuanshi exchanged a glance, entered the formation, and together with Jieyin and Zhunti, broke the Immortal Execution Sword Formation.
Then, Yuanshi roared directly at Tongtian, "Tongtian! Are you trying to wreak havoc on the entire Primordial Wilderness?!"
Upon hearing this, Tongtian burst into laughter, his voice full of sarcasm. "Yuanshi, you still have that arrogant attitude, which I find utterly repulsive."
He pointed his sword at Yuanshi: "These two bald monks dared to plot against my Interception Sect and forcibly convert my Jie Sect Disciple. What's wrong with me seeking revenge? What, you want to stand up for them?"
Seeing Taishang hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist Jieyin, Zhunti, you were indeed in the wrong first. Why don't you return the Jie Sect Disciple?"
The Jieyin's expression shifted, and finally he sighed Zhunti the guide.
Zhunti gritted his teeth and reluctantly waved his sleeve.
Dozens of figures flew out from the depths of Mount Ling; they were the Jie Sect Disciple who had been kidnapped.
They were all pale and weak, clearly having suffered considerable torment.
"Master?"
"Our master has come to save us!"
"Waaah!"
Tongtian glanced coldly at Jieyin and Zhunti: "This matter ends here. But remember my words—whoever dares to harm my Jie Sect Disciple again, I will fight them to the death. No matter if they are a saint or anything else."
After saying that, he and his disciples vanished in a flash.
Sumeru Mountain was in ruins; the main hall was destroyed, and dozens of disciples were killed or injured.
Jieyin and Zhunti's faces Jieyin, but they dared not say anything more.
Yuanshi was furious and said directly to Taishang, "Elder brother, why are you like this? Why don't you just attack Tongtian directly? With the few of us, taking down Tongtian would be a piece of cake."
He, Taishang, and together with Jieyin and Zhunti, were not afraid at all of dealing with a mere Tongtian.
Taishang shook his head, having his own plans. He glanced at Jieyin and Zhunti Jieyin and Zhunti his eye, but offered no explanation.
Suddenly, the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods in Yuanshi's arms flew out on its own and unfolded in the air.
Dozens of fragmented spirits emerged from Sumeru Mountain and entered the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods.
A moment later, dozens of new names slowly appeared on the Investiture of the Gods.
"This..."
Jieyin and Zhunti were struck dumb, their faces turning deathly pale.
"Yuanshi Daoist Yuanshi, those are disciples of my Western Teachings. Do you think it would be possible to erase their names and release them?"
Yuanshi didn't care about all that and directly put away the Investiture of the Gods. "This is impossible. My master once said that the true spirits that enter the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods cannot leave unless they are granted Investiture of the Gods after the Great Tribulation."
"But..."
Zhunti wanted to say something more, but Jieyin stopped him.
"Life and death are predestined, junior brother, you can't force it."
Taishang seeing this, a strange light flashed in Taishang's eyes. "We should also leave now. Farewell."
After saying that, he took Yuanshi with him and left.
"Senior brother, Tongtian has bullied our Western Teachings so much, are we just going to let this go?"
Zhunti looked at the tragic scene at his feet, his fists clenched, his heart filled with sorrow.
The Jieyin closed his eyes and murmured, "Amitabha!"
