The Battle of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation

After some deliberation, the Cult Master Tongtian handed over his Heavenly Dao, the Six Souls Banner, to Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal Xian for safekeeping.

"Your disciple obeys."

Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal immediately stepped forward from the crowd and tremblingly accepted the Six Souls Banner.

The Six Souls Banner is triangular in shape and entirely black, with eerie black energy lurking within it. Six tails flutter gently at its base. After the Cult Master Tongtian was forced to withdraw the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, he wanted to inflict another heavy blow on them, leaving them leaderless.

The names of six people— Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, Taishang Laojun, Daoist Jieyin Daoist Zhunti, Jiang Ziya, Jiang Ji Chang, and Ji Chang—were written on the six banner tails beneath the main banner. Afterward, the banner was refined day and night. When it was time to use it, waving the banner would take the lives of these six people.

On the second day, the Cult Master Tongtian personally went out to welcome the four Sages, including the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

"Daoist Jieyin, Daoist Zhunti, I have no grudge against you two. Why do you repeatedly thwart my plans and oppose me?"

"Besides, this is originally a dispute between me and my fellow disciples, Taishang Laojun Celestial Venerable Yuanshi. Why did you two get involved?"

Upon arrival, the Cult Master Tongtian immediately began questioning the Daoist Jieyin and the Daoist Zhunti about their purpose.

"We two have come to guide those with affinity to Buddhism. Buddhist Order Daoist, your disciple has committed too many sins and should be converted by us."

The Daoist Jieyin explained their purpose.

"Nonsense! You two are clearly trying to take this opportunity to undermine my Jie Sect and strengthen your Western Sect's power. How nice of you to say that."

The Cult Master Tongtian immediately saw through their purpose.

"Further words are useless. If you want to fight, then fight! Do you dare to enter my Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and fight me to the death?"

After giving them a good scolding, the Cult Master Tongtian invited them to join the battle.

"Fine, I'll go. I'm not afraid of you. All disciples, follow me."

After saying this, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi led his disciples into the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

"Senior brother, don't be anxious. This trip might just be a result of your junior brother's provocation."

Seeing that the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi wanted to rush directly into the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the Grand Pure One Laozi immediately stopped him and told him the reason.

"Why should we be afraid of him? Can't the four of us Sage defeat him alone?"

The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi asked a question with a hint of anger.

"Senior brother, don't worry. Look at my current situation. Take a close look at this Ten Thousand Immortals Formation."

Grand Pure One Laozi pointed to Cult Master Tongtian, indicating that Celestial Venerable Yuanshi should look.

As soon as Cult Master Tongtian entered the formation, he arrived at the eye of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. Then Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, which gathered the power of all the disciples of the Jie Sect, began to operate. With the support of thousands of formations, the power within their bodies began to flow and condense, and finally converged on Cult Master Tongtian at the eye of the formation.

With the support of all the disciples of the Jie Sect within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the strength of the Cult Master Tongtian gradually increased, and his body began to radiate dazzling golden light, like a divine weapon.

When everyone's power converged on Cult Master Tongtian and reached a critical point, Cult Master Tongtian's entire body was enveloped in golden light.

"Rise!"

With a loud shout from the Cult Master Tongtian, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation underwent another change. The golden light that had been gathering on the Cult Master Tongtian began to converge at a point a thousand feet directly above his head, forming a huge sphere in just a few minutes.

"What exactly is this thing?"

The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi also sensed something was amiss, because he could feel that the golden sphere contained extremely rich energy.

"It's only been a quarter of an hour since the Cult Master Tongtian entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, yet he has managed to gather such a large sphere of energy using the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. Is this his attack method?"

The Daoist Jieyin spoke with a somewhat doubtful tone.

"So, according to you, the Cult Master Tongtian Leader will have to fly up and grab this sphere to smash it at us again?"

The Daoist Zhunti replied with a disdainful remark.

"What exactly is he up to? Let's wait and see."

At this moment, Grand Pure One Laozi said something.

No wonder he is Grand Pure One Laozi, who often helps Cult Master Tongtian and Celestial Venerable Yuanshi mediate their relationship.

Right after the eunuch Laozi finished speaking, the Cult Master Tongtian obliged him by manipulating the large golden sphere.

"Condense!"

With a loud shout from the Cult Master Tongtian, the golden sphere began to change again. It first slowly transformed into a huge golden disc, and then into a dome-shaped object.

"Fall!"

The Cult Master Tongtian shouted again, and the golden dome fell directly from the sky, completely enveloping the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

Why aren't you coming over yet?

"My two senior brothers and my two fellow Daoists from the Western Sect, are you afraid?"

After everything was ready, the Cult Master Tongtian noticed that Celestial Venerable Yuanshi and the others had not yet arrived, so he spoke up.

"Junior brother, do you think your senior brother will fall for your trick so easily?"

The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi smiled dismissively and replied with a single sentence.

"Stop beating around the bush, let me make this clear: you're just too scared to come!"

The Cult Master Tongtian began to mock him.

"Don't be in such a hurry, junior brother. Why are you so eager to be defeated by me?"

The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi replied to him indifferently.

"Pah! You shameless bastard! Have you forgotten how I beat you to a pulp inside the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation?"

"Haha, you're speechless now, aren't you?"

The Cult Master Tongtian was not to be outdone, directly exposing the true nature of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, and even adding a curse to him.

As the saying goes, "Don't hit someone in the face, and don't insult someone by revealing their shortcomings."

Provoked by the Cult Master Tongtian, the anger that Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had just suppressed reignited.

"Wait until I defeat you, then let's see if you can still laugh."

After Celestial Venerable Yuanshi uttered these words to Cult Master Tongtian, he turned to discuss countermeasures with Grand Pure One Laozi and two other Western Sect Sage.

"Okay, I'll wait."

The Cult Master Tongtian readily agreed.

"Have you figured out the secrets behind the Cult Master Tongtian's Ten Thousand Immortals Formation?"

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi spoke directly, asking the others if they had noticed anything.

"Hmm~"

"The formation set up by the Cult Master Tongtian is called the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. It's a formation he created by gathering all the disciples of the Jie Sect. You just saw the so-called golden light gathering around him; that must be the effect of the formation."

After considering it for a moment, Grand Pure One Laozi spoke.

"This formation united everyone in the Jie Sect. Each person extracted a small portion of their vital energy, which was then condensed, gathered, and refined through the formation, ultimately converging on the Cult Master Tongtian to form the so-called golden light."

"However, the amount of vital energy extracted was extremely small, and they could instantly replenish it through their own Cultivation Method. Then, it was extracted, condensed, gathered, and refined by the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation before being transported to the Cult Master Tongtian, where it once again formed a wisp of golden light."

"Then, through the Cult Master Tongtian, a portion of this energy was transferred into the protective shield of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation."
