Meeting the Immortal-Slaying Formation Beneath Mount Sumeru

P.S.: This humble mountain dweller kneels to beg all fellow Daoists for recommendation votes, monthly votes, favorites, and comments. I hope you can all lift your lucky little hands and give this humble mountain dweller a boost. I kneel in gratitude.

Looking at the Heaven-Grinding Disc in his hand, Chen Xuan could not help but mutter to himself, "The Heaven-Grinding Disc combined with the Heaven-Grinding Wheel is the Chaos supreme treasure, the World-Destroying Mill."

"I just wonder whether the Heaven-Grinding Wheel is in Hongjun's hands. If it is, I'll have to find a way to get it someday."

If Hongjun had known what Chen Xuan was thinking at that moment, he would probably have been so furious that he spat blood on the spot.

After putting away the Heaven-Grinding Disc, Chen Xuan directly promised Hongjun that he would reach Mount Sumeru in the west in a thousand years and help him kill Rahu.

Having received Chen Xuan's promise, the stone weighing on Hongjun's heart finally fell away.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Chen Xuan, he used an escape technique and left the Ancestral Sorcerer Hall directly. After all, Hongjun still had preparations to make before killing Rahu.

Watching Hongjun leave, Chen Xuan could not help but reveal a faint smile. He then set off for Mount Sumeru in the west.

Mount Buzhou was more than tens of millions of miles away from Mount Sumeru in the west. Even Golden Immortals of Primordial Unity like Chen Xuan and Hongjun would need several hundred years to get there.

Moreover, Chen Xuan intended to take this opportunity to travel and explore. Thus, he had no choice but to set out early for Mount Sumeru in the west.

After more than eight hundred years, Chen Xuan finally arrived at the foot of Mount Sumeru in the west ahead of schedule, as agreed.

Chen Xuan had not traveled for over eight hundred years without gains. Though he had not found any top-grade innate spiritual roots, he had harvested quite a few heavenly treasures and earthly wonders.

Looking at the towering Mount Sumeru before him, Chen Xuan could not help but sigh. After all, Mount Sumeru was not yet bathed in Buddhist light. All it had was baleful energy soaring into the heavens.

"Since Hongjun and the others haven't arrived yet, I might as well use this chance to loot Mount Sumeru first."

Having made up his mind, Chen Xuan directly invoked the Great Dao Law of Space. In the blink of an eye, he entered Mount Sumeru in the west.

One day, Chen Xuan discovered an innate concealed formation. He had intended to enter and loot it, but the formation blocked him.

This caused Chen Xuan to make quite a commotion. Although he hurriedly used the Great Dao Law of Space to leave, he still alerted Rahu.

Rahu instantly opened his eyes and released his divine sense to inspect the entire Mount Sumeru. "Impossible. I clearly sensed someone entering Mount Sumeru. Why did their aura vanish in the blink of an eye?"

"Could it be that old thief Hongjun wants to sneak into Mount Sumeru by underhanded means and wait for an opportunity to scheme against me?"

With this thought arising, Rahu did not hesitate in the slightest to summon the Execution Array Diagram.

As the Execution Array Diagram slowly sank beneath Mount Sumeru, four treasured swords shot into the sky and hung around Mount Sumeru in the west.

At the same time, the soaring baleful energy surrounding Mount Sumeru in the west began to surge into the four treasured swords.

Then Rahu appeared above the Executioner Immortal Formation and shouted into the void.

"Old Hongjun, since you dare come to my Mount Sumeru in the west, why hide your head and show your tail?"

Sure enough, as soon as Rahu finished speaking, Hongjun truly appeared in midair.

He said to Rahu, "It seems you live on edge every day as well. I had only just arrived, yet you already laid down the Immortal-Slaying Formation."

"Unfortunately, even with the Immortal-Slaying Formation, you are doomed today. If you must blame someone, blame yourself for acting against the natural order and trying to use the demonic path to replace the Heavenly Dao."

"Fellow Daoists, now that you have all arrived, let us join forces to break his Immortal-Slaying Formation and show him that evil can never triumph over righteousness."

As Hongjun's voice fell, three figures appeared before Rahu.

The three of them simultaneously cupped their hands toward Rahu. "This poor Daoist, Yin-Yang, Heaven-and-Earth, Yang Mei, greets Fellow Daoist Rahu."

Seeing that even these three had come, Rahu could not help but grit his teeth. He knew that Hongjun had to be behind all of this.

If he faced any one of the three alone, Rahu would not be worried in the slightest.

Even if he faced two of them, Rahu was confident that he could kill them without using the Immortal-Slaying Formation.

But now the three had gathered together, and there was also Hongjun, who was evenly matched with him. Rahu could not help but feel somewhat concerned.

At the same time, Rahu believed that the aura he had sensed infiltrating Mount Sumeru earlier must have been brought by the four people before him.

As a result, Rahu completely overlooked Chen Xuan's existence. Chen Xuan successfully made his way to the summit of Mount Sumeru and found the famous Eight Treasures Merit Pool of later generations.

While Rahu focused all his attention on Hongjun and the other three, Hongjun was looking around because he had not seen Chen Xuan.

This could not help but worry Hongjun. Could it be that Green Lotus Daoist broke his promise?

Although Chen Xuan breaking his promise would inevitably cause him to owe Hongjun karma, even that karmic debt was not as thorough as killing Chen Xuan outright.

Thus, Hongjun intended to delay for as long as possible, lest everything be over by the time Chen Xuan arrived.

However, this gave Rahu an opportunity. He shook the Four Swords of Execution, and unmatched sword light shot directly toward the four of them.

The most tyrannical Immortal-Slaying Sword light in particular slashed directly at Hongjun, forcing him to use the Pangu Banner to block it.

At the same time, the Fortune Jade Disk had already been summoned. Vast power of fortune enveloped Hongjun within it.

Yin-Yang Ancestor, Heaven-and-Earth Ancestor, and Yang Mei Ancestor likewise brought out their strongest magical treasures to withstand the Immortal-Slaying Formation's attacks.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan, who was beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, suddenly sensed an extremely familiar aura coming from above Mount Sumeru.

"This is the power of fortune, and it even contains endless power of laws. Could this be Hongjun's Fortune Jade Disk?"

At this thought, Chen Xuan waved his hand at the Eight Treasures Merit Pool before him and stored it within his Fortune Space. Then he used the Great Dao Law of Space and appeared behind Hongjun.

Looking at the Fortune Jade Disk floating above Hongjun's head, Chen Xuan could not help but feel that it looked strangely familiar.

"Isn't this the jade pendant Brother Pangu used to protect me? So this is the famed Fortune Jade Disk?"

Chen Xuan truly regretted not figuring out the situation back then. Otherwise, he would have taken the Fortune Jade Disk with him no matter what.

But it was already too late to say anything now. He could hardly snatch it from Hongjun's hands.

Putting aside whether he could defeat Hongjun, Chen Xuan might not be able to bear the karmic consequences.

After all, the Fortune Jade Disk was no longer merely a Chaos supreme treasure. It also bore the mission of teaching the myriad beings of the Primordial World.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan discovered that the Fortune Jade Disk was not only covered in cracks, but was even missing a corner.

This caused Chen Xuan to subconsciously take out a jade carving knife.

It was the jade knife Pangu had used to carve the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws onto Chen Xuan's true body.

At this moment, Chen Xuan could clearly sense that the aura of the jade knife came from the same source as the Fortune Jade Disk.
