Arc 21The Sages’ War
The Nine Bends Yellow River Formation killed Yuanshi’s Twelve Golden Immortals, prompting the Sages to clash over the Interception Sect and Di Xin. After Taiqing and Yuanshi broke Tongtian’s Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, Tongtian accepted a final contest using the Myriad Immortals Formation.
- Yunxiao trapped the Twelve Golden Immortals in the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation while Zhao Gongming and the Yang siblings fought Yuanshi’s allies, killing Nanji and taking his Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner.
- Zhunti tried to recruit Burning Lamp and later Kong Xuan, but Di Xin intervened to protect Kong Xuan as the Sages converged at Sishui Pass.
- The Twelve Golden Immortals died in Yunxiao’s formation, and Yuanshi fought Tongtian until Taiqing intervened and the formation collapsed.
- Di Xin confirmed his identity as Wu, pledged support to Tongtian’s Interception Sect, and returned to Chaoge after leaving Jiang Ziya to guard Sishui Pass.
- Hongjun stopped Yuanshi from restoring Guang Chengzi, while Yuanshi and Taiqing agreed to pursue the Human Dao and pressure Tongtian into changing course.
- Tongtian recalled the Interception Sect’s disciples to Jinao Island and prepared for war, while Zhou Ming told Houtu and the others to gather world fragments when the Primordial Wilderness shattered.
- Yuanshi, Taiqing, Jieyin, and Zhunti entered Tongtian’s Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, where Nuwa and Wu joined Tongtian to face the four Sages.
- Taiqing and his incarnations defeated Tongtian’s four disciples at the formation gates and took the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, breaking the formation, and Tongtian then accepted Yuanshi’s challenge to establish the Myriad Immortals Formation.
