Ten Thousand Immortals Formation

"Di Jun, you have led the Demon Clan army here today, ostensibly for revenge."

"In reality, they covet the splendor of the four seas and are attached to the power of the Ancestral Court of Mystic Gate of the Xuanmen sect."

"They speak with lofty ideals and righteous indignation, but behind the scenes they are scheming and despicable."

With a gentle flick of his wrist, East King Duke released the [Pure Yang Limitless Sword] hanging at his waist, producing a clear and melodious sword sound that resonated Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"But as the Immortal Head personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor, and in charge of all matters of the Immortal Path on behalf of the Ancestral Court of Mystic Gate, I cannot tolerate your insolence."

"If you want war today, then let's fight!"

The East King Duke was filled with fighting spirit, and a pure Yang energy of extreme purity rose from his body, instantly filling the entire space-time.

Although it is said that war must be waged against the Demon Clan race.

But the people of the Daoist court weren't fools either.

The Demon Clan has a wealth of talent and countless powerful individuals.

There were three Grandmasters of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal alone.

In particular, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi possesses exceptional combat prowess and is backed by the Innate Supreme Treasure [Eastern Emperor Bell]. He alone would likely be difficult for East King Duke to match.

Not to mention that Di Jun and Old Ancestor Kunpeng were also there to support them.

How are we supposed to fight like this?!

The battles in the Primordial Great World are not just about comparing divine Dao Cultivation.

Magical artifacts and magical formations are equally important.

After making his harsh remarks, East King Duke did not take the initiative to attack.

Instead, he let out a cold laugh and waved his sleeve:

"Di Jun."

"Today, the Dao Court of the Purple Mansion Continent is located here, and so is my East King Duke."

Having said that, he pointed to the group of cultivators behind him and said calmly:

"I have a formation called the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation]."

"If you can break this formation today..."

"I, this humble Daoist, will gladly relinquish this vast empire."

"If we cannot break this formation... hmph..."

The East King Duke sneered:

"Then don't blame me for being impolite."

"Today, the Eastern Sea Shore will be the burial ground for your million Demon Clan."

Having said that, the East King Duke ignored the expressions on the faces of the Demon Clan.

He casually pointed his Dragon Head Staff into the Grand Void.

In an instant, an invisible wave spread outwards from that support point in all directions.

Then one sees the Grand Void turbulent, and time and space shifting.

The sea of cosmic light seemed to boil, and as the stars shifted, the colors of heaven and earth changed.

In every grotto-heaven, every blessed land, and every Daoist temple, all the great beings who have attained the Daluo Golden Immortal Fruit look up towards the Eastern Sea Shore, above time and space.

Then, they saw a large formation suddenly activate.

That grand formation was neither real nor illusory; it actually existed in space and time, spanning endless dimensions.

The phantoms of countless immortals appeared within it.

"The rainbow is my garment, the wind my steed; the cloud lords descend in droves."

"Tigers play the zither, phoenixes draw their chariots; immortals stand in rows like hemp."

At this moment, the Calamity Qi within the great calamity suddenly rose another notch.

Di Jun sat upright in the central army and saw this great formation.

Knowing that he is extraordinary.

A sense of vigilance quietly rose in my heart.

Looking around, he said:

"Does any of you recognize this formation?"

The demons whispered among themselves, discussing the matter.

They all said their experience was limited, and this was the first time they had encountered such a formation.

Bai Ze stepped forward and offered his advice:

"His Emperor Xi cultivates the Great Dao of Heavenly Secrets, and is a grandmaster in the art of formations."

"Why doesn't Your Majesty send someone to inquire about him?"

Upon hearing this, Di Jun hurriedly dispatched one of his Demon Generals to go directly to the Ling Xiao Palace to inquire about Fuxi.

A moment later.

The Demon General transformed into a roc, soared back, and took on a Dao Body, respectfully saying:

"Your Majesty, this is my report."

"The Emperor Xi said, this formation is arranged according to the principles of Yin and Three Powers, and it contains the dangers of the Four Symbols and the Five Elements."

"A formation within a formation, each link connected to the next, it is an unparalleled array, brimming with immense killing intent."

"But he had never seen it either."

"I only instructed His Majesty to be extremely careful."

"We must not be careless or underestimate our enemy."

The demons were terrified.

Emperor Xi was a giant at the level of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, and his mastery of formations was unmatched in the entire Primordial World.

A formation that could give him trouble.

Its power must be astonishing.

An old demon examined the formation carefully and vaguely felt that it was somewhat familiar.

After a short while, he hesitated and said:

"Your Majesty, this is my report."

"This formation seems quite similar to the [Ten Thousand Dragon Formation]."

Di Jun's eyes lit up:

"Oh, Elder Gui actually recognizes this formation."

"Please tell me quickly."

This old demon was a figure from the Three Races period. During the Dragon-Han Tribulation, he was a Grand Unity Great Sage in the Aquatic Race camp, serving as a general under the True Dragon.

Because he had cultivated a supernatural ability to avoid death and prolong life, he managed to survive the Dragon-Han Great Tribulation.

He accumulated knowledge and skills during the Lich Age and eventually attained the status of Daluo Golden Immortal.

Even within the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, they held a revered position.

The old demon stroked his beard and shook his head, saying:

"I do not recognize this formation."

"I only feel there's a slight resemblance."

"In the past, during the Dragon-Han Great Tribulation."

"The Ancestor Dragon also set up the [Ten Thousand Dragon Formation] on the Eastern Sea to challenge the Qilin and Phoenix."

As he spoke, Gui Lao recounted all the information he knew about the [Ten Thousand Dragon Formation].

"This formation was not innate, yet its power is astonishing."

"It follows Human Dao and the collective strength of the masses."

"Formations within formations, formations interconnected."

"The person who oversees the Four Directions Formation can gather the power of ten thousand dragons."

This way of gathering the masses not only gathers Dao Cultivation skills and magical power, but also fortune and karma.

Ten thousand people are as one.

"This old minister observes that the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation] likely follows the same approach."

"Your Majesty, please be cautious."

Di Jun nodded slightly.

Although his expression was solemn, he had no intention of backing down.

Retreating without a fight is not something the Demon Clan can do at this time.

"Brother."

"The East King Duke is nothing more than a Primordial Origin Golden Immortal."

"Let's join forces with you, me, and the Demon Master."

"Can't we even win him over?"

Tai Yi of the Eastern Sea unleashed the [Eastern Emperor Bell] to suppress the universe and time.

What are you afraid of?

"Just charge in."

The Old Ancestor Kunpeng gazed at the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation], seeing the celestial light swirling and soaring straight into the heavens, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes:

"His Majesty."

"Although this formation is said to contain ten thousand immortals, most of them are Primordial Unity Golden Immortals and Immortal Golden Immortals."

"To us, we are all ants."

"What is there to fear?"

Di Jun pondered for a moment, then looked around and said:

"You shall wait here."

"I, along with the Eastern Emperor and the Demon Master, will go to provide support and see what they can do."

He secretly handed a jade slip to Bai Ze and transmitted his voice:

'If things do not go smoothly, I, the Emperor, will crush this jade slip.'

'You should hurry and seek the help of Empress Nuwa and Fellow Daoist Fuxi.'

'They also sought out Xi He and Chang Xi to manipulate the power of the Lunar and Solar.'

Although he did not believe that he and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi would be in trouble in the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation].

But Di Jun has always been cautious.

I'm used to leaving myself a way out.

Di Jun dismounted and, together with Old Ancestor Kunpeng and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, walked to the Eastern Sea Shore and entered the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation].

The three of them were startled as soon as they entered the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation].

But one can see colorful clouds shrouding the five-colored golden light, and auspicious clouds rising in thousands of vibrant colors.

Ten thousand strands of purple mist swirled like celestial clouds, while countless divine rays intertwined in wondrous phenomena.

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi looked eastward and saw a kind old man with a high forehead, leaning on a peachwood staff, smiling at him and stroking his beard as he laughed:

"Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor, this old Daoist priest bows in respect."

Behind him stood a group of immortals dressed in flowing robes and holding the Tai'a Sword deer; all of them were virtuous and extraordinary.

They all laughed:

"We greet His Majesty the Eastern Emperor!"

The Old Ancestor Kunpeng looked westward, and a female immortal with bright phoenix eyes nodded slightly. She unfurled a Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Flag, and wondrous phenomena arose, illuminating the heavens and earth.

"Kunpeng, I pay my respects."

Behind her, colorful mist swirled, and immortals appeared and disappeared.

With their hair tied in a bun, wearing pale yellow robes, carrying ancient swords, and wielding eight-pronged deer, they were all reclusive hermits riding the clouds and mist.

"We have met Old Ancestor Kunpeng."

Di Jun looked south.

On the other side, the East King Duke smiled, and the Pure Yang Limitless Sword in his hand radiated ten thousand rays of pure Yang immortal light.

"Di Jun, the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation] is here. Let me see your skills."

As soon as the East King Duke finished speaking, bursts of red clouds rose beside him, and in that glow...

The crimson robe, the yellow-spotted deer, and the Kunwu Sword —these are the very essence of the Five Escapes and Three Eliminations of the Scattered Immortal Cultivator.

"We have met His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."

Due north, the Thunder Cardinal, amidst churning clouds.

Holding a giant hammer in one hand, the indifferent-looking deity sized up the three Demon Clan and bowed, saying:

"Raize greets the three of you."

Water vapor surged, and thunder rumbled in the air.

Amidst the billowing steam, a Daoist priest dressed in black robes, wearing a lotus-shaped headband, with an iron mace at his waist and a deer astride his legs, solemnly said:

"We have met the Three Celestial Venerables!"

"Boom!!"

Within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, terrifyingly powerful immortal light crisscrossed space and time, filling the entire universe in an instant.

Di Jun gazed at the imposing and powerful Ten Thousand Immortals of Zifu Prefecture.

My eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and for a moment I felt dizzy and lightheaded.

The Old Ancestor Kunpeng gazed in all directions, his aura soaring into the heavens. The divine voice of the Great Dao surrounded him, and cold sweat nearly broke out on his forehead.

'This East King Duke is truly not a son.'

'I originally thought he was the only Primordial Origin Golden Immortal in the Dao Court of Zifu Prefecture.'

'Who would have thought that he had quietly recruited three giants at the level of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal?'

'Now that the Ancestor, Di Jun and Tai Yi have entered the [Ten Thousand Immortals Formation], aren't they like lambs to the slaughter?'

He secretly took a step back, shielding Di Jun and Tai Yi in front of him.

His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he secretly observed the four directions of the great formation.

This glance, however, chilled him to the bone.

This grand formation is guarded by Primordial Origin Golden Immortals on all four sides.

One wave after another.

Taiji gives rise to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang give rise to the Four Symbols, and the Four Symbols give rise to the Eight Trigrams.

Each step is interconnected, leaving no room for error.

Once someone breaks into the formation, the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal who is in charge of that area will enter the formation and, with the help of the power of the four-directional formation and the overwhelming force of heaven and earth, will burst forth.

Three Primordial Origin Golden Immortals fighting against four Primordial Origin Golden Immortals are already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

If we add the power of this formation...

The Old Ancestor Kunpeng frowned slightly, pondering to himself:

'I don't know, but they've now pledged allegiance to the East King Duke.'

'Eliminate Di Jun and Tai Yi as well.'

'Among this Daoist court, am I also destined to attain a position of honor?'

But after glancing at Eastern Emperor Tai Yi ahead and weighing the pros and cons, the old demon suppressed his ulterior motives.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The [Eastern Emperor Bell] above Eastern Emperor Tai Yi's head emitted a series of sounds, annihilating the void and causing the laws to vibrate, thus neutralizing the aura emanating from the myriad immortals.

Di Jun looked eastward:

"May I ask your name, fellow traveler?"

The old Daoist priest chuckled, his body radiating an aura of fortune, prosperity, and longevity. His presence brought joy and benevolence, making it difficult for anyone to harbor ill will.

"I Daoist San Ji. Fellow Daoists from all over the world, seeing that I am old, do not wish to address me by my given name."

"Then he called upon the title of Immortal Lord San Ji."

"Not worthy of the Heavenly Emperor's approval."

Di Jun clapped his hands in praise:

"I never imagined that such a virtuous person could exist in this vast land."

"Our Heavenly Court is still lacking a Celestial Venerable who holds the power to govern fortune and misfortune. I wonder if the Immortal Lord would be willing to take on this role?!"

Immortal Lord San Ji, still in good spirits, smiled and said:

"I'm used to living all over the world."

"But they cannot bear the riches and honors of Heavenly Court."

"Your Majesty's kindness is appreciated."

Di Jun nodded, no longer looking at him, and turned to look westward:

"In the past Dao Ancestor bestowed upon the Goddess the Head of Female Immortals."

"Even Her Majesty is unwilling to enter the Daoist court, meddle in worldly affairs, and be tainted by the karma of the Mortal World."

"How can we possibly leave Kunlun now?"

"To oppose my Demon Clan?"

"If you retreat now, I will assume that Your Majesty is still cultivating in seclusion in West Kunlun today."

The Queen Mother of the West remained calm and shook her head slightly.

"Times have changed."

"Having received the [Jade Book], I hereby assume command of all female immortals under heaven."

"I will obey the Dao Ancestor's orders and the Ancestral Court of Mystic Gate's arrangements, and come to this Dao Court to harmonize Yin and Yang and govern all immortals."

"It is His Majesty the Demon Emperor who has unjustly deceived our Dao Court."

"Could it be that they see no one in our Daoist court?"

"Although I am a woman and fear the consequences of my actions, I also know that if you wish to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."

"There's no need for the Demon Emperor to persuade me."

Although the Queen Mother of the West feared cause and effect.

However, in the Purple Firmament Palace, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already bestowed upon her a [Jade Book], appointing her as the person in charge of all female immortals in the world.

What a great fortune this is, what a great merit this is!

After attaining the status of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, how difficult it is to advance further!

For the sake of the Great Dao, for the sake of fortune and merit, the Queen Mother of the West had no choice but to accept the invitation from the East King Duke to jointly govern the Dao Court and share the fortune of the immortals.

After all, the Demon Clan Heavenly Emperor reigns supreme in the Heavenly Palace.

'Perhaps Demon Clan Empress will then rule the court.'

'I hold the [Jade Book] in my possession. How can I know how the Empress will react that Empress?'

If the Queen Mother of the West were to present the [Jade Book] at that time...

What should she do then?

If we don't offer it up, we'll offend the Demon Clan.

She alone would likely find it difficult to contend with the Demon Clan Heavenly Court.

If it is offered.

Good fortune and merit come to naught; even the greatest opportunities vanish like bubbles.

How cruel this is for Innate Divine Being deity aspiring to the Great Dao.

'Therefore, I am not reconciled!'

They saw no fear in the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West, only unwavering resolve.

Di Jun understood his thoughts.

He passed by the East King Duke and set his gaze on the Northern Great God Lei Ze.

"Dao Brother is a sage who attained enlightenment in the ancient times."

"He was originally carefree and untroubled by worldly affairs."

Why have you come here to obstruct me?

Lei Ze's expression remained unchanged, and he said sternly:

I will follow my own path.

"There's no need for you to say more, fellow Daoist."

This Great God Lei Ze has some connection with the dragon race.

Therefore, with the Dragon Clan mediating, the East King Duke used an Innate Spiritual Treasure [Lei Chi] and the Qi Circulation of the Dao Court as bargaining chips to lure them into the Dao Court's camp.

This person is upright and incorruptible, but also stubborn.

Having joined the Daoist temple, they naturally wouldn't waver between two sides.

"Hahaha, Di Jun."

"Your Demon Clan Heavenly Court's Demon Clan Heavenly Court advantages."

"My Dao Court is no less impressive!"

The East King Duke said in a cold voice:

"These fellow Daoists are all discerning and resolute individuals."

"Then you shouldn't waste any more time thinking about it."

"The true test will be revealed with a single move."

"Stop babbling!"
