Preparing for Battle
"Are there any disciples willing to break the Two Forms Formation?"
Celestial Venerable Yuanshi then addressed the disciples of the Chan Sect and asked them a question.
"This disciple is willing to go and break the formation."
"My Samadhi True Fire can break through the ice magic within the Two Forms Formation, but I need someone to help me temporarily withstand the fire magic within the Two Forms Formation."
This time, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was not disappointed; Nezha immediately stepped forward to answer his question.
"Are there any disciples willing to accompany Nezha to break the formation?"
Celestial Venerable Yuanshi immediately went to Nezha to find help.
"This disciple is willing to go. Although this disciple has not cultivated ice Law Technique, this disciple has considerable experience in resisting Fire Element Law Technique."
At this moment, Yang Jian stepped forward.
"Oh, why do you say that?"
The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi asked with some curiosity.
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, I often spar with Nezha, and Nezha is most skilled in using Samadhi True Fire, I have gained some experience in resisting this ability."
Yang Jian returned to the question posed by the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
"Very well, then you shall join Nezha in breaking the Two Forms Formation."
Celestial Venerable Yuanshi agreed.
"Now that we've found the one who broke the formation, it's time to teach the Cult Master Tongtian and his ilk a lesson."
Having found the ones who could break the Taiji Formation and the Two Forms Formation, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was about to launch an attack.
"Wait, wait, senior brother, don't rush! There's also the Four Symbols Formation and the Eight Trigrams Formation."
Seeing this, Grand Pure One Laozi quickly stopped him again.
"Haven't we already found two people who can break the formations?"
"What are we waiting for if we don't start a war now?"
"What do you mean by saying there's also the Four Symbols Formation and the Eight Trigrams Formation?"
Unable to contain his anger, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi repeatedly questioned the Grand Pure One Laozi.
"Senior brother, I haven't finished speaking, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Although we don't need to break the Four Symbols Formation and the Eight Trigrams Formation, someone still needs to hold them off in those two formations."
"If the other side suddenly changes their tactics, we will suffer heavy losses."
"Therefore, in order to achieve victory, we must select some disciples to hold off those within the Four Symbols Formation and the Eight Trigrams Formation."
Grand Pure One Laozi explained the advantages and disadvantages of leaving the Four Symbols Formation and the Eight Trigrams Formation unattended, which enlightened the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
"Does that mean we can start a war once we find someone who can counter the Four Symbols Formation and the Eight Trigrams Formation?"
He only took in half of what Celestial Venerable Yuanshi said, his mind still preoccupied with starting a war.
"Yes, senior brother, please be patient a little longer. We'll begin the battle once we've identified the people who will deal with these two formations."
Grand Pure One Laozi spoke up to comfort Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
"Okay, I understand. Hurry up and call the people."
The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi responded helplessly.
Grand Pure One Laozi didn't linger. He selected 12 powerful individuals and instructed them to hold off the enemies within the Four Symbols Formation and the Eight Trigrams Formation.
"Senior brother, you're ready."
After Grand Pure One Laozi, he told Celestial Venerable Yuanshi that war could begin.
"Disciples, heed my command! Follow me to break this Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and annihilate the Jie Sect!"
The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi immediately called all the disciples of the Chan Sect to head towards Wanxian Town.
The battle of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was about to begin.
The four Sages, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, Taishang Laojun, Daoist Jieyin, Daoist Zhunti, immediately began to besiege Cult Master Tongtian upon entering the formation, attempting to defeat him quickly in order to achieve their respective goals.
Taishang Laojun had no ulterior motives; he was merely an assistant invited by Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
Celestial Venerable Yuanshi wanted to defeat Heavenly Dao in order to solidify his Dao heart and mend the cracks in it.
The Daoist Jieyin and the Daoist Zhunti aimed to dismantle the Jie Sect by defeating the Cult Master Tongtian Sect Master, and then take the opportunity to poach outstanding members of the Jie Sect to the Western Sect to strengthen their own power.
However, after the last Immortal Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, all four Sage suffered injuries and have not yet recovered to their full strength.
Moreover, when Celestial Venerable Yuanshi learned that it was Cult Master Tongtian who had removed the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, some cracks appeared in his Dao heart.
Although they are four Sages, their combined strength is only slightly greater than that of the Cult Master Tongtian, who is empowered by the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
Thus, within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the four Sages who were besieging the Cult Master Tongtian fought to a standstill with Cult Master Tongtian.
Seeing this, the disciples of Cult Master Tongtian Jiaozhu within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation were greatly encouraged, while the morale of the disciples of Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was significantly dampened.
The disciples under the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi also suffered some losses, but this did not have any impact on the course of the battle.
Seeing this, the four Sage no longer held back and revealed their true strength and Law Treasure, pretending to want to quickly defeat the Cult Master Tongtian, the key figure in the formation, in order to break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
However, everything they did was to attract the attention of the Cult Master Tongtian by making Yuding True Person break the Taiji Formation and Nezha and Yang Jian break the Two Forms Formation.
"Junior brother, we come from the same school, so why should we fight over this? It's really not right."
The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi began to play the emotional card.
Although the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi said such things, he didn't hold back at all, throwing a punch straight at the Cult Master Tongtian's face.
"You're shameless! You started this whole thing."
The Cult Master Tongtian easily dodged the punch and then cursed.
"Junior brother, I'm doing this for your own good. You're allowing your disciples to help King Zhou and aid him in his tyranny. No one can stand by and watch this happen."
"Moreover, the fate of the Yin Shang has run its course, and it has been replaced by Xiqi. You, who were able to help the Yin Shang, are still able to stand in the world. According to the rules, the Jie Sect should disappear along with the Yin Shang Dynasty."
"If you don't disappear, Heavenly Dao will send down Heavenly Punishment to punish you."
Although what the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi said was hypocritical and shameless, there was some truth to it.
As he spoke, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi took out his Law Treasure and attacked the Cult Master Tongtian again.
"My original intention was to take all the disciples of the Jie Sect to another world, but you have come to kill them all. How can I tolerate this?"
The Cult Master Tongtian angrily addressed the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
"So you do have a compassionate heart, fellow Daoist. Shall we just leave it at that?"
The Daoist Jieyin believed there was room for reconciliation, so he advised both sides to sit down and talk.
"Yes, yes, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, you and Grand Pure One Laozi should take your Chan Sect disciples and leave."
"And you, Cult Master Tongtian, are here ordering your Chan Sect disciples to break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, and then you lead them back to the new world you spoke of."
"Isn't this better for everyone?"
At this Daoist Zhunti to add a comment.
"Just now you said that my disciples of the Jie Sect aided and abetted the tyrant, committing heinous crimes and should disappear along with the Yin Shang."
"I believe that if I were to order the dismantling of this Ten Thousand Immortals Formation myself, they would become lambs to the slaughter."
"Either you were killed by my senior brother's Zen Sect) disciples, or you were converted by the two of you and became a disciple of the Western Sect."
