Chapter 59: Beheading the Three Corpses

Yunxiao Xianzi, a renowned female immortal of the Sect of the Cutting and leader of the Three Skies, wields the Hunyuan Golden Dipper and the Golden Flood Dragon Shears—two magic treasures—and has killed so many Three Teachings immortals that their hearts run cold.

Cihang Daoist, the foremost female immortal of the Sect of the Expounding, ranked among the Twelve Golden Immortals, holds the Pure Glazed Bottle; though she keeps a low profile, her strength cannot be ignored.

Now, these two peak-level Dao-discussants, whoever they are, cannot help but feel a hint of anticipation.

"Elder sister, go on, blast that woman who likes to pretend!"

Qiongxiao Xianzi said loudly.

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

Cihang Daoist indeed always bears a look of sympathy for heaven and pity for humanity, but everyone feels that this is her true nature.

No one has ever spoken to her like that before.

Furthermore, Qiongxiao Xianzi, you are also a renowned female immortal; shouldn't you pay a bit more attention to your deportment as an immortal?

"Second sister, keep it down, don't disturb the elder sister's magic duel!"

Beside her, Bixiao Xianzi quietly tugged at Qiongxiao Xianzi's sleeve.

"What's wrong with that? I'm cheering for the elder sister—is that also wrong, little sister? Don't you want the elder sister to win?"

Qiongxiao Xianzi said, somewhat dissatisfied.

"No, second sister I..."

Without waiting for Bixiao Xianzi to explain, in the Dao field, Yunxiao Xianzi already took the initiative to act.

Only see the Golden Flood Dragon Shears, with a point of her finger, emit two sounds like a dragon's roar.

Immediately after, the Golden Flood Dragon Shears split into two, turning into two tens-of-thousands‑zhang golden flood dragons that swept toward Cihang Daoist.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Cihang Daoist did not panic; only see her right hand lightly pluck a willow branch from the bottle.

Accompanying Cihang Daoist's right hand gently waving, two willow leaves flew out, immediately expanding in the wind, each wrapping toward one of the two golden flood dragons.

The next moment, the Golden Flood Dragon, famed as able to cut anything, was actually wrapped by those seemingly fragile willow leaves and could not break free for a moment.

"Cihang Junior Sister, this magic treasure seems far more powerful than before!"

Huanglong Zhenren said with an envious face.

Although he is her senior brother, in both methods and magic treasures he is far inferior to this Cihang Junior Sister.

"Indeed!"

Beside them, the Grand Master of Lingbao nodded and said: "Moreover, I faintly sense that Cihang Junior Sister's cultivation seems to have made progress—could it be…"

In an instant, the eyes of all Twelve Golden Immortals showed a hint of envy.

Achieve sainthood!

This is the ultimate goal of these Great Luo Golden Immortals, yet achieving sainthood is exceedingly difficult.

Now, with the world undergoing great change, the path to sainthood through merit has almost been blocked.

As for achieving sainthood through law, it is even more fraught with difficulties; even their master Yuanshi Tianzun never managed to walk this path.

Then, the final path is also to achieve sainthood by beheading the three corpses and proving the Dao!

However, the Twelve Golden Immortals have never been able to take this step all along.

By contrast, among the Sect of the Cutting immortals whom they have always looked down upon, someone has indeed taken that step—for example, the astonishingly talented and gorgeous Yunxiao Xianzi before us!

The reason is that, during the ancient war, the Twelve Golden Immortals assisted the emperor, slaughtering vast numbers of the human race, thereby incurring a killing calamity!

Entangled by the killing calamity, no matter how extraordinarily talented you are, you cannot dispel your inner demons, and thus cannot behead the three corpses.

But what the remaining Twelve Golden Immortals never expected is that, among them, the usually low‑key Cihang Junior Sister has quietly taken that step.

"Cihang Junior Sister, just how did you resolve your own killing‑calamity problem? How strange and marvelous!"

Guang Chengzi narrowed his eyes, seemingly trying to discern some clue.

Guang Chengzi's thought is also the genuine thought of the other Twelve Golden Immortals.

"This Cihang Daoist seems to have something a bit off!"

Compared to others, their vision is obscured by clouds and mist.

Ao Yifan, who possesses the Heavenly Dao's Eye, however, saw something different in Cihang Daoist.

"Could it be…?"

Suddenly, Ao Yifan's mouth curled into a smile.

"I seem to have found a breakthrough!"

Thinking this, Ao Yifan glanced at the Mu Zha in his arms, smiling and saying: "Little Mu Zha, Dad has a task for you—will you help?"

"Dad, what task needs Mu Zha's help? Anyway, Mu Zha, like my older brother, is already a little man!"

Mu Zha patted his own chest, looking very righteous.

"Well, truly a good son of Dad, but this is our men's secret—you must not tell your mother!"

Ao Yifan reminded.

"Ah? Mother also cannot be told?"

Mu Zha hesitated a bit.

"Mu Zha, you said you are already a little man; this is a secret between us men, so naturally you cannot tell your mother, after all, your mother is not a man."

In Ao Yifan's repeated utterances of 'real man,' Mu Zha ultimately lost himself, nodding firmly: "Okay, Dad, I promise not to tell Mother."

"This is truly Dad's good eldest son!"

Ao Yifan laughed, kissed Mu Zha's cute little cheek, and then turned his gaze back to the two immortals fighting in the field.

"Heh, I underestimated you, but Cihang Junior Sister, do you really think the Golden Flood Dragon Shears are that easy to control?"

Yunxiao Xianzi's mouth curled into a smile.

In an instant, the immortals of the Sect of the Cutting felt an involuntary chill in their hearts.

There's nothing to be done; whenever this Yunxiao Xianzi shows a smile, nothing good ever happens.

The next moment, as Immortal Maiden Yunxiao lightly tapped her finger, immediately afterward, under everyone's gaze, the two golden flood dragons bound by two willow leaves instantly transformed into myriad small golden flood dragons.

Puff puff puff…

Myriad small golden flood dragons danced in the air; wherever they passed, only the willow leaves were seen being directly cut apart.

Immediately afterward, the myriad small golden flood dragons, without the slightest hesitation, spun in the air and then shot toward Daoist Cihang.

"Senior Sister, be careful!"

True Person Taiyi, seeing the countless small golden flood dragons in the air, couldn't help but call out a warning.

At the same time, True Person Taiyi also felt immensely relieved, for it seemed that Qiongxiao had not mastered this move; otherwise, his over-two-hundred-catty flesh would now be cut into lean and fat by the opponent.

Gazing at the myriad small golden flood dragons sweeping through the air, Daoist Cihang also furrowed his brow slightly.

The next moment, only a few drops of sweet dew were seen adhering to the willow branch on his fingertip, and then he lightly scattered them.

A single drop of water is an expanse of ocean.

These scattered water droplets, after spinning in the air, instantly transformed into water balls tens of zhang in size, enveloping the countless small golden flood dragons.

Seeing this, the previously clamorous Immortal Maiden Qiongxiao also stared with her mouth agape.

"She can even block Big Sister's move; this woman really does have some skill!"

Beside her, Immortal Maiden Bixiao, hearing this, couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Is this just a bit formidable? This is clearly formidable; I reckon if you go up, you're still no match for Senior Sister Cihang."

"Little sis, what are you muttering about?"

Qiongxiao turned her head, giving Bixiao Immortal Maiden beside her a strange look.

"No, nothing!"

Afraid that her second sister would find out what she had muttered, Immortal Maiden Bixiao hastily waved her hand and said: "What I just said was actually that Daoist Cihang looks formidable, but is merely strong on the outside and weak within; if you, my second sister, were to make a move, you could easily capture him."

Immortal Maiden Bixiao's words were greatly to Immortal Maiden Qiongxiao's liking.

"Ah, haha, little sis, be humble, remember to be humble, goodness gracious, why are you spouting such blatant truths!"
