The Chan Sect's Twelve Pillars of Heaven All Snapped, and the Investiture of the Gods Chessboard Shattered!

Outside Jiepai Pass, twelve Yellow River Turbid Locks hung down into the dust.

Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Taiyi Zhenren, and the other Jade Void Golden Immortals were escorted before the gate of Xiqi Camp and forced to kneel in a row.

Xiqi Camp was deathly silent.

Every soldier saw it.

The immortal masters they had once worshipped now knelt before mortals, their Pipa Bones locked in chains.

The five qi in his chest had scattered.

He had barely preserved a thread of True Immortal aura, but
