Chapter 78: The Slaughtering Witch Sword, Emerge!

Below East Kunlun Mountain.

Yuanshi Tianzun had long since set up a great array at the foot of Kunlun Mountain to test temperament and aptitude; any virtuous person wishing to join the Chan Sect could enter to challenge the array.

The immortals of Honghuang naturally flocked to enter the array without hesitation.

After all, becoming a disciple of the Saint in the Chan Sect meant not only learning the Jade Clarity Immortal Method but also living freely between heaven and earth from then on.

More importantly, with the Saint as a great mountain to lean on, one's life would also have a solid guarantee.

Yet, what they did not expect was this.

The illusion array established by Yuanshi Tianzun was incredibly formidable; of the million virtuous people (those possessing merit) who entered to test their temperament, most stopped here, and fewer than a thousand entered the second level.

The second level was a trial to examine one's origins and aptitude.

In the end, among the thousand or so challengers, only thirteen successfully broke through the array by virtue of great perseverance, great wisdom, and great opportunity.

Among these thirteen was the Randeng Daoren, one of the former Three Thousand Zixiao Guests, who at this time possessed the cultivation of Daluo Peak.

As well as Guangchengzi, Juliusun, Manjusri Daoist, Puxian Daoist, Cihang Daoist, Daoxing Practitioner, Lingbao Superior, Qingxu Daoist, Taiyi Real Person, Yuding Real Person, Chijingzi, and Huanglong Real Person.

These twelve people had uneven cultivation levels, including True Immortals, Golden Immortals, and Taiyi Golden Immortals.

Fortunately, however, no one judged seniority by cultivation, but rather by who broke through the array the fastest.

Yuanshi was also very satisfied with them; their aptitudes were all above average, and they all met the requirements for his disciples.

However, Yuanshi expressed some surprise at the arrival of the Randeng Daoren.

Randeng was formed from the transformation of an Innate Spiritual Coffin between heaven and earth; because his true form always carried a spirit lamp, he called himself Randeng Daoren.

Since experiencing the three lectures at Zixiao Palace, his cultivation had reached Daluo Peak.

It was not slow, but it was not fast either, and could not compare to the top Great Gods in Honghuang.

To this day, he only had one innate spiritual treasure, the Spirit Coffin Lamp, yet he could not sever his corpse to break through.

After all, they were both people who had listened to the Rice in Zixiao Palace, and he was a person of renown registered in Zixiao Palace; if he were to rashly take him as a disciple, would that not conflict with the Rice Ancestor?

For this reason, Yuanshi had to say: "Fellow Daoist Randeng, you and I are both among the three thousand Zixiao red-dust guests of that year; it is inappropriate to take you as a disciple!"

Just as the Randeng Daoren showed anxiety on his face, Yuanshi continued.

"Since you could come, Fellow Daoist, I naturally cannot lose etiquette. How about this: you shall be the Vice Sect Leader of my Chan Sect and perform the rites of a half-master with me. You may listen to the teachings of my Chan Sect and also manage affairs within the sect for me. How does that sound?"

Guangchengzi and the others on the side had also not expected this.

They did not expect that among those who broke through the array with them, there would be someone with such a background, and they all felt surprised by this.

At this moment, seeing that he could stay, Randeng immediately bowed and said: "Many thanks, Teacher!"

Looking at Guangchengzi and the others.

It was discovered that apart from Chijingzi, Yuding Real Person, and Huanglong Real Person, the rest were all Human Race cultivators.

Beyond admiring the Human Race for its outstanding people and spirit, there was even more infinite joy in his heart.

However, besides taking these thirteen, Yuanshi also took a hundred or so Outer Sect Disciples.

Among them, the Antarctic Immortal and Yunzhongzi both had the cultivation of Daluo Initial and served as Outer Sect stewards, assisting Randeng in managing the affairs of the Chan Sect.

As for Tongtian, selecting disciples was not as cumbersome as Yuanshi's.

He simply sat above Golden Turtle Island and began to preach the Upper Clarity Immortal Method; anyone who came to listen and broke through using the Upper Clarity Immortal Method could enter the gates of the Jie Sect.

Those who broke one realm were Outer Sect Disciples, those who broke two realms were Inner Sect Disciples, and those who broke three realms were True Inheritors.

Thus, after a round of preaching, there were over ten thousand people who broke the first realm, among whom those with high cultivation included Zhao Gongming, the Three Clouds of Three Immortals Island, the Four Sages of Nine Dragons Island, and others.

Therefore, they all entered the Jie Sect as Outer Sect Disciples of the Jie Sect.

As for those who broke the second realm, there were only seven, who were Inner Sect Disciples and were arranged by Tongtian as the Seven Attendant Immortals.

And those who broke the third realm were only four, who were True Inheritors of the Jie Sect.

They were Duobao Daoist, Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Wudang Holy Mother, and Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.

Among them, Golden Spirit Holy Mother and Wudang Holy Mother were of the Human Race.

Such a grand event as the three sects taking in disciples naturally could not lack the two Saints of the West.

It was just that, with the barrenness of the West, the two had been clamoring until now, yet they had only taken a few disciples with excellent aptitude, while they had taken batch after batch of disciples with mediocre aptitude.

Ever since they, the Saints of the Heavenly Rice, attained the Proof of Rice, they gathered once in Zixiao Palace.

Under the explanation of the Rice Ancestor Hongjun, they also understood that the God Race was about to enter Honghuang in a large scale.

Therefore.

After the Four Teachings took in disciples, they preached to them daily, answered their questions, and provided them with various cultivation resources without stopping, all in the hope that their cultivation would grow rapidly.

To lay a solid foundation for resisting the invasion of the God Race.

Whenever they thought of this, the two Saints of the West would have a worried look on their faces.

What could be done about this!

Before the West had flourished, they were directly pitted against the Seven Royal Courts of the Divine Court. With the Saints unable to directly intervene, how could their disciples resist the invasion of the God Race?

Not only that, the Pangu Three Pure Ones of the East were the same.

Just after they finished taking disciples and had preached only a few times, they all received news that the Shanhai Royal Court of the Divine Court was entering the Eastern Continent in a large scale.

Not only that, the Dragon Race, one of the original Three Clans, actually announced in a high-profile manner that they were joining the Divine Court and seizing the water systems of Honghuang for the Divine Court.

For a time, the entire Eastern Continent and the Northern and Southern Continents had responses from the Dragon Race.

And the many forces of Honghuang were like scattered sand; how could they resist the invasion of the Divine Court?

Soon, the various Saints quickly turned their eyes to the Demon Clan and the Human Race.

They did not think about the Wu Clan; Houtu Zuwu had already joined the Divine Court system along with the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so how could they listen to them?

But the Demon Clan and the Human Race were different.

The Human Race was not only numerous now, but its elites were the core of every force, even in the three sects.

Added to this was the existence of Nuwa, as well as the grudges between the Witch and Demon Clans.

They are naturally the best chess pieces for the Saints.

It is just that the only trouble among them is the grudge between the Demon Race and the Human Race; how should this be mediated?

Heavenly Realm, Lingxiao Hall.

Heavenly Emperor Di Jun summoned many Demon Saints to gather in one hall; the dozens of people were naturally discussing the matter of the God Race entering the Honghuang.

Di Jun has always been brooding over the matter of the God Race tricking his children into leaving the Honghuang all at once.

Originally, there was no direct feud between the God Race and the Demon Race, but the matter of the ten Golden Crows stabbed deeply into Di Jun's heart.

Now the Wu Clan and the God Race are suspected to have formed an alliance, plus the Human Race.

For a time, their Demon Race became the target of public criticism.

Before, the only thing he cared about was the Wu Clan, but now it is different.

With the growth of the Human Race and their connections with many forces in the Honghuang.

If they were to exterminate the Human Race at this time, then their Demon Race would also become the target of encirclement by many forces in the Honghuang.

After all, as a portion of the Human Race has joined the Three Teachings, they dare not commit the act of genocide.

If they angered the Saints, then their Demon Race would truly be finished; having the whole world as enemies would be their future.

After all, the Saints are no small matter and are sufficient to influence the various situations of the Honghuang.

At this time, Baize said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the God Race entering the Honghuang on a large scale and joining the war between the Wu Clan and the Demon Race has become a foregone conclusion. Now we should think about how to resist the joint forces of the God Race and the Wu Clan!"

Upon hearing this, everyone revealed a heavy expression.

After all, with Houtu Zuwu successfully achieving the Proof of Rice, their Demon Race's advantage of having the Saint Nuwa no longer exists.

Added to that, beside Houtu there is also the Huangtian Supreme who founded the Earth Deity Divine Path.

Thinking of this, everyone's complexion also became ugly.

Seeing this, Di Jun could not help but say softly: "The enemy that our Demon Race must face head-on is still the Wu Clan, the God Race is second, and the Human Race is third!"

"As for the matter of the God Race's Proof of Rice practitioners, Lady Nuwa has already made it clear that those who have achieved the Proof of Rice will not enter the fray; their opponents are each other, so we need not worry about the matter of the Proof of Rice practitioners."

Speaking of this, he looked at the Primordial Land quite heavily.

"Kunpeng!"

Kunpeng, who was closing his eyes and resting his mind alone, could not help but stand up, bow, and reply: "This subject is here!"

"How is the forging of the Wu-slaying Sword coming along?" Di Jun asked in a deep voice.

The other Demon Saints also realized, and one after another looked toward Kunpeng.

"Replying to Your Majesty, this is the Wu-slaying Sword!" As he spoke, a dark spirit sword filled with boundless baleful aura and resentment appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"This subject spent eighty-one days and finally finished forging the Wu-slaying Sword!"

Di Jun took the Wu-slaying Sword and flicked the blade with his finger; the sound of the sword ringing was actually filled with various vicious curses from countless human resentful souls.

Those with low cultivation who hear it will be in danger of suffering a deviation in their cultivation.

The two female demons holding fans behind Di Jun heard it, and their hearts were instantly filled with killing intent; they actually disregarded everything and picked up their spirit fans to strike at Di Jun's head.

However.

Facing this scene, the Demon Saints below seemed to turn a blind eye to it.

And Di Jun also smiled slightly.

Clearly, he was very satisfied with the power of the Wu-slaying Sword.

Just a single ring of the sword could make two female demons in the True Immortal Realm fall into madness; this power is clearly extraordinary.

As early as when those two female demons just made their move, Di Jun had already noticed it, and at the same time discovered the changes in their aura.

However, who told them their cultivation was low?

Consequently, the two female demons' actions ultimately failed to touch Di Jun in the slightest, and in an instant, they turned into fly ash under a burst of Sun True Fire.

The Demon Saints below saw this and immediately congratulated Di Jun one after another: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for finally obtaining the Wu-slaying sharp weapon!"

Di Jun saw this and smiled slightly, then put away the Wu-slaying Sword.
