Sanxiao's Saint Body and the Chaos Body, All Saints Join Forces to Set Up the Heavenly Net
Deep within the earth's veins, the newly created cave dwelling was even more concealed than before. Tongtian conjured the earth's core's poisonous fire and the malevolent energy of the ten-thousand-zhang rock strata, weaving them into a natural barrier. He then deployed the Chaos Bead to lay down a grand formation that inverted yin and yang and the five elements, temporarily "erasing" this place from the Great Desolation's heavenly secrets.
In the center of the cave dwelling, Chaos energy, like a tangible gray silkworm cocoon, tightly enveloped three figures.
Tongtian sat cross-legged in front, his expression unprecedentedly solemn. Suspended before him were three faint yet pure lights of True Spirit, representing Yun Xiao, Qiong Xiao, and Bi Xiao. On either side, Saint Mother Wudang and Kui Niu poured all their magical power into maintaining the stability of the Chaos cocoon.
Reconstructing immortal bodies for the Sanxiao simultaneously was a hundred times more difficult than merely saving Yun Xiao alone! It not only required a massive amount of energy but also demanded Tongtian to divide his attention into three, using his supreme divine sense to precisely control every ounce of Chaos Origin without the slightest error. Moreover, Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao's True Spirits were far more severely damaged than Yun Xiao's had been, with only a sliver of their spiritual light remaining.
"Master," Saint Mother Wudang said, looking at Tongtian's increasingly pale face with deep concern.
"It's nothing," Tongtian's voice was steady as he interrupted her worry. He took a deep breath, the Chaos runes in his eyes spinning at an unprecedented speed. The Chaos Bead above his head hummed, its descending radiance almost solid.
"Chaos without bounds, creation returns to unity! Three flowers gather at the crown, immortal bodies are remade!"
He let out a low cry, forming incredibly complex hand seals. The vast Dragon Palace resources before him—Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, Essence of Five Elements, stellar cores, and finally, the last two drops of Three Lights Divine Water—surged into the Chaos energy like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, instantly refined and purified.
Next, the last remnant of the Chaos Green Lotus's remains was drawn out, split into three, serving as the core framework for the three immortal bodies.
The three lights of True Spirit were gently yet firmly guided, merging into their respective primordial frameworks.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Three world-shattering roars seemed to echo within the cave dwelling! The three Chaos cocoons simultaneously erupted with brilliant divine light!
Visibly, three graceful figures began to slowly take shape within the cocoons. Their skin was as white as jade, yet it flowed with a Chaos luster; their bones were extraordinary, imprinted with the runes of the Great Dao; their meridians were vast, capable of containing Chaos magical power!
This process was slow and arduous. Veins bulged on Tongtian's forehead, sweat poured down like rain, and his Saint Body trembled slightly, clearly indicating immense consumption. Yet, his gaze remained as firm as iron, steady in his control of everything.
Time lost all meaning at this moment. After an unknown duration, when the last resource was depleted, and Tongtian was on the verge of complete exhaustion—the light of the three Chaos cocoons simultaneously retracted, becoming plain and unadorned.
Crack... crackle... Cracks appeared on the surface of the cocoons, which then slowly bloomed like lotus flowers.
Three women slowly rose from within the cocoons.
They possessed identical peerless faces, yet their temperaments were vastly different. Yun Xiao was graceful and dignified, her brows carrying the resilience and wisdom born from enduring hardship. Qiong Xiao was lively and spirited, though a hint of the shock from the soul-corroding weakness of the water lingered deep within her eyes. Bi Xiao was charming and bright, yet she couldn't hide the coldness and malevolence brought by her time as a spirit of an artifact.
What they shared were perfect, flawless new immortal bodies radiating a faint Chaos Dao rhythm. Their cultivation had astonishingly stabilized at the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal! Their foundations were incredibly solid, and their potential immense, far surpassing their previous lives!
The three women looked at each other, at their newly born bodies, and felt the unfamiliar yet powerful Chaos magical power within them. For a moment, it felt like a lifetime had passed, and they stood there in a daze.
Immediately, boundless grievance, sorrow, ecstasy, and profound gratitude towards their Master overwhelmed them.
"Master!" The three women simultaneously knelt before Tongtian, unable to speak through tears. A thousand words were stuck in their throats, only tears flowing freely.
Tongtian looked at his reborn disciples before him, and a heartfelt smile of relief finally appeared on his weary face, his eyes also moistening. He gently supported them, "Get up. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Although the price was immense, even completely offending the Western Teachings, it was worth it to bring back his three disciples!
"Master, your injuries..." Yun Xiao was the most observant, immediately noticing Tongtian's weak and unstable aura.
"The consumption was a bit high; I'll be fine after a few days of recuperation," Tongtian waved his hand, indicating he was alright. His gaze swept over the new Chaos immortal bodies of his three disciples, a glint of brilliance flashing in his eyes. These three bodies had infinite potential; if cultivated properly, they might become powerful aids in his efforts to revive the Jie Teachings in the future.
However, before they could even rest, an indescribable, terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from outside the cave dwelling, from the heavens and earth!
RUMBLE!!! It was as if the entire Great Desolation was trembling! The sky suddenly darkened, not from clouds obscuring the sun, but from the wails and retreat of the Heavenly Dao's laws!
Four vast, indifferent, supreme, yet clearly enraged Saintly thoughts descended like four immortal divine mountains, locking onto this area with deadly precision!
Even through the layers of restrictions, that Saintly Might still penetrated, making Saint Mother Wudang, the Sanxiao, and Kui Niu instantly turn pale, almost unable to breathe, their primordial spirits trembling!
"Tongtian! Get out!" Venerable Lord of Primordial Beginning's cold, emotionless voice, like a heavenly decree, resounded through the nine heavens and ten earths.
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, you owe the West an explanation for destroying treasures and injuring people," Daoist Zhunti's voice followed, carrying compassion but containing an unyielding will.
Although Daoist Jieyin did not speak, an even more immense Buddhist wish power enveloped the surroundings.
Furthermore, a faint, indifferent, and lofty aura, as if transcending the mundane, flickered—Grand Pure Laozi had also cast his gaze here!
Four Saints acting in concert! Setting up a heavenly net!
All to hunt down Tongtian, who had abandoned his Saint Position!
Inside the cave dwelling, silence instantly fell. The joy of their recent rebirth was completely extinguished by the cold reality. Saint Mother Wudang and the Sanxiao wore expressions of despair. Four Saints appearing in person—this was practically a situation with no hope of survival!
Kui Niu anxiously pawed the ground, letting out a low whimper.
Tongtian slowly stood up, his face terrifyingly grim. He hadn't expected the Saints' reaction to be so swift and decisive! It seemed that destroying two innate spiritual treasures consecutively had completely crossed their bottom line.
"Master..." Bi Xiao's voice trembled as she instinctively moved closer to Tongtian.
Tongtian shielded his disciples behind him, looking up at the sky. His gaze seemed to pierce through layers of rock walls, seeing the four supreme figures suspended high in the ninth heaven.
His thoughts raced. A head-on confrontation was impossible; even at his peak, he couldn't withstand four Saints working together. Escape? The surrounding space had been completely sealed. Under the Saints' thoughts, there was nowhere to hide!
Was he truly going to be trapped and die here?
No! Absolutely not! He gritted his teeth fiercely, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes!
"System! Exchange for 'One-time Super Long-Range Random Spatial Teleportation Talisman (Chaos Grade)', maximum power! Target: as far as possible from the four Saints' lock-on range!" he roared in his mind. This was a life-saving item hidden in the System Mall, ridiculously expensive, and the target was random, but he couldn't afford to hesitate now!
[Command received! All remaining contribution points consumed, exchange successful! Activated!]
A mysterious spatial fluctuation instantly erupted from Tongtian's body, connecting with the unfathomable laws of Chaos space!
"Grab me!" Tongtian yelled at his disciples and Kui Niu behind him. Saint Mother Wudang, the Sanxiao, and Kui Niu unhesitatingly grabbed onto Tongtian tightly.
Just then, "Stubborn and unyielding! Capture them!" Venerable Lord of Primordial Beginning seemed to have lost patience. A giant hand formed from Jade Pure Immortal Light, covering the sky, pierced through layers of space and clawed fiercely towards their hiding place! The other three Saints also seemed to exert pressure simultaneously!
BOOM! The restrictions outside the cave dwelling shattered like paper! The earth's veins cracked, and the rock strata evaporated!
Just as the Saint's hand was about to descend!
Hummm! The space where Tongtian and the others were located violently distorted and collapsed, turning into an extremely small singularity, which then exploded outwards. A beam of chaotic light, whose color was indescribable, shot up into the sky, briefly breaking through the combined blockade of the Four Saints, tearing through the void and disappearing without a trace!
"Hm?" Venerable Lord of Primordial Beginning's giant hand grasped at empty air, letting out a surprised hum.
"Chaos Teleportation? I underestimated him!" Daoist Zhunti's tone turned cold.
The divine senses of the Four Saints instantly swept across the myriad heavens of the Great Desolation, even extending to the edge of Chaos, but they could no longer detect any trace of Tongtian! It was as if they had never existed!
"Hmph, the monk may escape, but the temple cannot! The remnants of the Jie Teachings, and those who are destined for the Investiture of the Gods, will still be dealt with!" Venerable Lord of Primordial Beginning said coldly, his gaze turning towards the direction of the Heavenly Court.
"Amitabha, good, good." Daoist Jieyin chanted Buddhist scriptures in a low voice, his gaze profound.
Grand Pure Laozi's divine sense quietly withdrew, as if it had never appeared.
A deadly strike, jointly launched by the Four Saints, had temporarily come to an end with the target's bizarre disappearance. However, the undercurrents of the Great Desolation had become even more turbulent because of it.
And at this moment, within a bizarre and completely unfamiliar spatial tunnel, Tongtian tightly protected his disciples and Kui Niu, feeling the completely random teleportation power that led to an unknown destination, yet his heart held no trace of relaxation.
He knew that temporary safety meant a greater storm still lay ahead.
The Saints would never give up.
His path of Primordial Unity was destined to be fraught with thorns and slaughter.
But, so what? He looked at his disciples, who had been reborn, and felt the surging Chaos magic power within his body, his Dao heart firmer than ever before.
"No matter where we are teleported, once we establish a foothold, our first step will be to go have a chat with those disciples who are 'on the list'."
His voice echoed in the spatial tunnel, cold and filled with determination.
The Investiture of the Gods? The Heavenly Court?
Some debts were about to be collected!
