"Junior Brother! You're back!"
"What did Master say?"
Everyone rushed forward, as if they had seen a savior.
Jiang Ziya's expression, however, was far from good. He took a breath and shook his head bitterly at everyone.
"Master... he knows about this matter."
"But, Master said this is a tribulation for us disciples, and we must overcome it ourselves. As Saints, it is not appropriate for us to interfere in disputes among juniors."
"What?!"
Jiang Ziya's words were like a basin of ice water, dousing the flames in everyone's hearts.
Master... isn't going to help them?
"This... how is this possible?" True Lord Taiyi said in disbelief, "Does Master intend to just watch us be humiliated by that Yao woman and have our cultivation stripped away?"
"Master also said..." Jiang Ziya swallowed with difficulty and continued, "Master said that although the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation is an evil formation, it may not be without a way to break it. He told us to find a way to break the formation ourselves."
"Find a way ourselves? What way can we possibly have?" Chijingzi slumped to the ground in despair.
Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.
Even their only hope was shattered.
Were they truly going to succumb to this tribulation, their cultivation vanishing into nothing?
Just as everyone was sinking into despair, Guangchengzi, the senior disciple of the Heavenly Origin Sect, suddenly stepped forward.
His face was no longer filled with anger or despair, only a calm that had seen through life and death.
"I understand Master's intentions."
He looked around at his junior brothers and said slowly.
"Master isn't abandoning us. He is testing us."
"We disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect cultivate the Way of following Heaven and responding to humanity, and we emphasize 'struggle'! Struggle against Heaven, struggle against Earth, struggle against man! If we are so scared by this little display that we dare not step forward, then what are we cultivating immortality for, what Dao are we seeking? We might as well disband early and go home to be mortals!"
Guangchengzi's words were sonorous and powerful, like a morning bell and evening drum, striking each person's heart.
"Today, we Twelve Golden Immortals will go together and challenge her Nine Bends Yellow River Formation!"
"If we succeed, the prestige of the Heavenly Origin Sect will soar, and our path to Dao will be smooth!"
"If we fail, at worst, we'll end up on the Investiture of the Gods, and go through that experience! It's better than being lifelong cowards here, ridiculed by everyone in the world!"
"Junior Brothers, do you dare to die with me?"
Guangchengzi's gaze was fiery as he swept over everyone.
Provoked by him, True Lord Taiyi, True Man Yuding, and the others felt their fighting spirit reignited.
"What is there to fear!"
"Senior Brother is right! If we die, we die! We will never endure such humiliation!"
"Today, we will fight to the death with those three Yao women, Sanxiao!"
In an instant, the crowd was filled with fervor.
Under Guangchengzi's leadership, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Origin Sect actually cast aside all their worries and decided to join forces to break the formation!
"Good!"
Guangchengzi shouted and took the lead, activating the Sky-Turning Seal.
Chijingzi activated the Yin Yang Mirror, True Man Yuding held the Immortal Slaying Sword, and True Lord Taiyi held up the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover...
The twelve Golden Immortals raised their respective magical treasures above their heads, forming a temporary formation. With resolute expressions, they flew towards the terrifying formation shrouded in yellow mist outside the city.
"Huh? They're coming out!"
Bi Xiao, standing before the formation, saw the twelve streams of light and was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
"Hahaha! These cowards finally dare to come out!"
"Good! Today, I'll let you taste the power of my Nine Bends Yellow River Formation!"
She shouted to Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao within the formation.
"Eldest Sister! Second Sister! The fish have taken the bait!"
With that, she formed a hand seal and opened the entrance to the great formation.
Guangchengzi and the others did not hesitate. Exchanging glances, they plunged headfirst into the yellow mist without looking back.
The moment they entered the formation.
Yun Xiao's icy voice echoed throughout the entire formation.
"Close the gate!"
"Fall!"
The entrance to the great formation instantly sealed.
The Primordial Golden Dou, suspended above the formation's core, violently shook, casting down billions of golden rays that completely sealed the entire grand formation.
Immediately after, the Golden Dou inverted, its opening facing downwards.
An indescribable, irresistible, terrifying suction force emanated from the Dou's opening, engulfing the Twelve Golden Immortals who had just entered the formation.
"Not good! What is this power!"
"My Magical Power! My Magical Power is draining!"
"Ah! My Three Flowers on the Crown!"
Within the formation, the terrified screams of the Heavenly Origin Sect's Golden Immortals echoed to the extreme.
Under the illumination of the golden light, their proud protective magical treasures, one by one, dimmed, becoming like ordinary iron, falling from the sky.
Their immortal bodies, upon being struck by the yellow mist, instantly became filthy and impure.
And their Three Flowers on the Crown and Five Qi in the Chest, cultivated over billions of years, under the effect of that terrifying suction force, were uncontrollably ripped from the crowns of their heads, transforming into streams of light and being absorbed into the Primordial Golden Dou!
In the blink of an eye.
The Twelve Golden Immortals, who had been full of imposing might and arrogance moments before, now fell from mid-air like kites with broken strings, crashing onto the muddy banks of the Yellow River.
The immortal light on their bodies had completely vanished.
Their entire Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation had been stripped away completely.
At this moment, they were no different from ordinary mortals.
The Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, terrifying indeed!
