Eye of Guixu Stirs, Raising Storms; the Sect Master Breaks the Deadlock and Traces the Origin of the Immortal Slaying Sword Array

Deep within Biyou Palace, the formation patterns of the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation flowed through the void. Eerie Glow from the Chaos Bead gathered at Qin Yu's fingertips. Thirty-three Bronze Pillars inscribed with ancient demon script encircled him, each one connected to a Jiejiao Disciple's life-bound magic treasure.

"Sect Master, the Northern Abyss Black Tortoise Clan has sent three thousand Sea Calming Beads." Qiong Xiao entered the hall carrying a jade box. The Treasure Orbs within, shimmering with starlight, illuminated the edge of the formation diagram. "They say they are willing to trade Profound Nether Heavy Water from the North Sea abyss for the method of refining the Three Pure Ones Bell."

The corners of Qin Yu's lips lifted slightly as the Chaos Bead projected the Great Desolation Water Vein Map. "Tell the Black Tortoise Patriarch that I will also gift them twelve strands of Heavenly River Sword Intent." The formation diagram suddenly trembled, revealing Purple Firmament Divine Thunder churning above Kunlun Mountain—it was Primordial Heavenly Venerate reforging the Pangu Banner.

Suddenly, the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram hanging from Duobao Daoist's waist let out a hum. Qin Yu's pupils contracted as the Chaos Bead instantly reflected an upheaval in the Land of Nine Nether: at the deepest level of the eighteen layers of hell, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's golden body was melting, turning into golden streams that seeped into the Nether Blood Sea.

"The Western Sect wants to use the Six Paths of Reincarnation to reshape their golden body!" Zhao Gongming realized in alarm, and his twenty-four Sea Calming Divine Beads automatically formed into a formation. Yet Qin Yu raised a hand to stop him. "Let them refine it. It's the perfect chance to test the Art of Karma Reversal I've just comprehended."

His fingertip touched the formation eye, and the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation suddenly reversed. Countless threads of karma flowed upstream from the Nether Blood Sea. Daoist Jieyin, who was refining Pool of Merit Water, suddenly gave a muffled grunt, while black blood seeped from the Sarira on the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.

Within Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor watched the scene in the Haotian Mirror as the Glazed Lamp in his hand suddenly exploded. The Queen Mother of the West pressed her delicate hand against the mirror's surface. "Your Majesty, it is time to activate the second transformation of the Great Array of the Stars."

At that moment, Qin Yu had already fled into the Chaos Bead. A wisp of Primordial Violet Qi floated before him. The Myriad Immortals Formation Diagram unfolded beneath his feet and unexpectedly resonated wondrously with the violet qi. At the diagram's edges, phantom images of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords faintly emerged, only to turn into four streams of Chaos Sword Qi the instant they touched the violet qi.

"So that's how it is..." Galaxies reversed within Qin Yu's eyes, while the image of the Chaos Green Lotus blooming arose in his sea of consciousness. "Primordial Grand Unity requires Calamity and Destiny as soil, karma as water, and the Way of Formations as its root..."

Suddenly, a bell rang outside Biyou Palace. Wudang Holy Mother's voice transmission pierced through thirty-three layers of restrictions. "Sect Master, the Eye of Guixu has changed!"

Within the Chaos Bead, Qin Yu's Primordial Spirit was borne aloft by hundreds of millions of Chaos Currents. That wisp of Primordial Violet Qi abruptly transformed into a swimming dragon, circling the phantoms of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords. Fine cracks unexpectedly appeared along the blades—these cracks bore patterns identical to the Asura Demonic Patterns beneath the Nine Nether Blood Sea.

"So the Immortal Slaying Sword Array Master obtained back then..." Chaos True Fire gathered at Qin Yu's fingertips and scorched the cracks in the sword phantoms. "It was a defective version contaminated by Rahula's Remnant Soul!"

The sword qi suddenly ran wild. The four phantoms merged into one, revealing the scene of chaos first opening: Sect Master Tongtian wielded the Green Ping Sword to cleave apart chaos, yet while retrieving the Immortal Slaying Sword Array, a streak of dark-purple Demonic Energy seeped into the sword hilt. The final image froze on the Devil Ancestor Rahula's cold smile before his self-destruction—one wisp of his Remnant Soul had actually hidden in the deepest part of the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram.

The phantom of the Chaos Green Lotus in Qin Yu's sea of consciousness suddenly bloomed, and the Dao marks of three thousand Chaos Demon Gods appeared upon its petals. When the Immortal Slaying Sword phantom touched the lotus heart, the entire Chaos Bead shook violently. At the edge of the world within the bead, four Bronze Giant Gates emerged—each was respectively engraved with the ancient seal-script characters: , , , and .
