Chapter 560: Yuanshi Tianzun in Seclusion

Just then, the figure of Tongtian Sect Master appeared on the altar.

The noise in the plaza instantly quieted down, and all the disciples knelt down respectfully.

"Today's preaching is about the Dao of 'Formation'..." Tongtian Sect Master's voice was thick and majestic, echoing throughout Jinao Island.

Chu Yang hurriedly withdrew his gaze and knelt down with everyone else.

The preaching lasted for three days and three nights. Tongtian Sect Master explained the mysteries of formations in simple terms, from basic Five Elements and Eight Trigrams to complex space-time conversion, covering everything.

Chu Yang listened with fascination, feeling as if he had been enlightened.

Chu Yang had already memorized many of the contents, but after Tongtian Sect Master's preaching, he had new understandings.

He originally had quite a talent in the Dao of formations, and now with the guidance of the Saint, he made rapid progress.

The Chu Yangs of other worlds also absorbed these precious knowledge through soul sharing, and their formation attainments also advanced by leaps and bounds.

After the three days and three nights of preaching, Chu Yang felt that his whole person had been sublimated.

Tongtian Sect Master's explanation was like an enlightenment, allowing his understanding of formations to be raised to a brand new level.

He even faintly felt that he had touched some higher-level realm in the Dao of formations.

In the plaza, the disciples stood up one after another, whispering and discussing the content of the Saint's preaching.

Qiongxiao and Bixiao were even more excited, chirping endlessly.

"Junior Brother, how much did you understand?" Qiongxiao bumped Chu Yang's shoulder and asked curiously.

Chu Yang smiled slightly and pretended to be unfathomable: "Slightly gained."

"Cut, stop pretending!" Bixiao curled her lips, "I saw you listening more seriously than anyone else, you must have gained a lot!"

Chu Yang didn't explain, just smiled mysteriously.

At this time, Duobao Taoist walked over and said with a smile: "Junior Brother, how was the gain from this preaching?"

Chu Yang cupped his hands: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your concern, Junior Brother has benefited a lot."

Duobao Taoist nodded and said meaningfully: "Junior Brother is talented, and in time, you will definitely become a great talent."

Chu Yang smiled modestly, but secretly felt proud in his heart.

His current formation attainments, even if they can't compare to Duobao Taoist, are probably not far off.

And how many years has Duobao Taoist been under Tongtian Saint? And how many years has he, Chu Yang, been? Just then, a commotion suddenly came from the plaza.

"What's going on?" Jinling Holy Mother frowned.

"It seems like someone is fighting!" Qiongxiao said excitedly, "Let's go see!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw two disciples fighting fiercely in a corner of the plaza. One was wearing a Chan sect Taoist robe, and the other was a Jie sect disciple.

"It's Guangchengzi of the Chan sect and our Junior Sister Holy Mother Guiling!" Bixiao exclaimed.

"Why are they fighting?" Yunxiao looked worried.

"I guess it's because of sectarianism."

Duobao Taoist sighed and said: "The conflict between our Chan and Jie sects has existed for a long time, and now it seems to be intensifying."

"Senior Brother Guangchengzi, today I will set up this Four Symbols Maze Formation. If you have the ability, come and break it!"

Holy Mother Guiling's voice was slightly sharp, with a hint of anger.

I saw her hands changing seals quickly, chanting, and a huge formation slowly unfolded at her feet.

In the formation, the sun, moon, and stars flowed, as if containing the mysteries of the universe.

Chu Yang looked at this scene, and his heart skipped a beat.

In the later Investiture of the Gods Calamity, Holy Mother Guiling was beaten back to her original form by Guangchengzi's Fantian Seal, then sneak-attacked by Zhunti, revealed her original form again, and was finally sucked by the Mosquito Taoist until only an empty shell remained.

The outcome can be described as miserable! "Is this the grudge formed with Guangchengzi now?" Chu Yang couldn't help but think secretly.

I saw Guangchengzi's face was solemn, his whisk waved, and he snorted coldly: "Just a small formation, and you dare to show off!"

After saying that, he stepped into the formation.

Chu Yang also followed everyone to the front, watching this fight with interest.

He found that Holy Mother Guiling's formation looked imposing, but in fact, it was full of loopholes and flaws.

It seems that although this Holy Mother Guiling is also a little famous in the Jie sect, compared to real formation experts like Duobao Taoist, she is still quite a bit short.

"This Holy Mother Guiling is too arrogant, actually using such a crude formation to challenge Guangchengzi."

Bixiao curled her lips on the side, looking disdainful.

"That can't be said!"

Qiongxiao retorted: "This Four Symbols Maze Formation is not profound, but it is not useless. If it were someone else, it might not be easily broken."

"I don't think so!" Chu Yang suddenly said: "This formation looks fancy, but it is actually full of flaws and vulnerable."

Qiongxiao and Bixiao were surprised to see Chu Yang.

"Junior Brother, what do you mean by that?" Qiongxiao asked.

Chu Yang smiled and pointed to a place in the formation: "Look there, where the sun and moon meet, yin and yang are unbalanced, which is the weak point of the formation."

Qiongxiao and Bixiao looked in the direction Chu Yang pointed, and sure enough, they found the flaw in the formation.

"Junior Brother, I can't tell, you actually have such insights into the Dao of formations." Qiongxiao said admiringly.

Bixiao was unconvinced: "Hmph, you talk as if it's true, if you have the ability, go break this formation!"

Chu Yang smiled slightly and was about to speak, but saw Guangchengzi in the formation suddenly let out a muffled groan, his figure staggering back a few steps.

"What's going on?" Everyone was shocked.

I saw Guangchengzi's face was pale, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, obviously injured.

"Haha, Guangchengzi, you are nothing more than this!" Holy Mother Guiling laughed triumphantly.

Chu Yang's heart moved. It seems that although this formation has many flaws, it also hides mysteries. If you are not careful, you will be hit.

Guangchengzi took a deep breath, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Junior Sister Guiling, don't be proud, I will break your formation now!"

After saying that, he sacrificed his whisk again and attacked the weak point in the formation.

Seeing this, Chu Yang thought secretly: "Guangchengzi is planning to fight hard, I'm afraid he will suffer!"

With Chu Yang's formation comprehension, he naturally saw the 'trap' in the formation.

Guangchengzi's attack missed, and instead, he was backlashed by the formation, sprayed another mouthful of blood, and his figure flew backward, falling heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Holy Mother Guiling became even more arrogant and laughed loudly: "Guangchengzi, you are doomed today!"

She has always looked down on people of the Chan sect, which has a lot to do with her personality. Others maintained a certain restraint, but only she, who has always had a fiery temper, stood up directly.

In this formation, she hid her magic weapon, although it was an illusion formation, but if you are not careful, you will also suffer a big loss. Chu Yang shook his head. This Guangchengzi is too impulsive. Knowing that the formation has flaws, he still wants to fight hard. Isn't this seeking his own death?

Logically speaking, Guangchengzi's understanding of formations shouldn't be so bad, right?

He couldn't even see such a simple illusion formation set in a killing formation?

Chu Yang frowned tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Duobao Taoist suddenly walked out and said in a deep voice: "Junior Sister Guiling, stop here."

Holy Mother Guiling's face changed slightly, and she snorted coldly: "Senior Brother, what do you mean? Do you want to intervene in the matter between me and Guangchengzi?"

Duobao Taoist said faintly: "Not so, it's just that the two of you fighting here is a bit impolite. The three sects are one family, and besides, Junior Brother Guangchengzi is already injured, why do you have to force him?"

A flash of unwillingness flashed in Holy Mother Guiling's eyes, but she finally put away the formation.

"Hmph, you're lucky today!" She glared at Guangchengzi and turned away.

In Guangchengzi's eyes, there was a trace of imperceptible resentment.

The fellow disciples around him hurriedly came to help him up, and without saying a word, helped Guangchengzi leave.

(In the one-by-one, no-error version!)

Chu Yang didn't believe a word of Duobao Taoist's smoothing words.

Three sects are one family? During the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, the Chan and Jie sects fought to the death, wishing to smash each other into ashes.

Chu Yang remained calm on the surface, but instead showed some worry: "How is Senior Brother Guangchengzi's injury? Is it serious? I still have a few pills given by Senior Uncle, should I..."

As soon as he said this, several Chan sect disciples cast grateful glances at him.

After all, the disciples of the two sects have constant friction on weekdays, and the Jie sect disciples wish for the Chan sect disciples to be unlucky, so who would care about their injuries?

Chu Yang's move undoubtedly showed the "loving" heart of the Jie sect disciples.

Yuding Zhenren among them cupped his hands: "Thank you, Junior Brother Xiao Lei, for your concern, Senior Brother Guangchengzi is fine, just suffered some minor injuries."

Chu Yang nodded, but he was calculating another thing in his heart.

Guangchengzi was injured twice, and it seemed a bit strange.

With his Golden Immortal cultivation, he shouldn't be unable to break the flawed formation of Holy Mother Guiling.

Could it be... he did it on purpose?

Once this thought popped up, Chu Yang couldn't get rid of it.

Guangchengzi deliberately showed weakness, what was it for? Just as he was thinking, Bixiao leaned over and asked gossipingly: "Junior Brother, do you really think Senior Sister Guiling's formation is vulnerable?"

Chu Yang glanced at her sideways and asked back: "What does Senior Sister think?"

Bixiao curled her lips: "I don't think so. Although that guy Guangchengzi is annoying, he still has strength. Senior Sister Guiling can beat him like this, which shows that this formation has some ways."

Chu Yang smiled noncommittally, but his guess became more certain in his heart.

Guangchengzi definitely did it on purpose! "Junior Brother, what are you laughing at?" Qiongxiao also leaned over and asked curiously.

"Nothing." Chu Yang waved his hand, "Just feel that this fight is quite interesting."

Interesting? Qiongxiao and Bixiao looked at each other, seeing doubts in each other's eyes.

What's interesting about this? Isn't it just an ordinary fight? Things like this happen almost every once in a while.

Of course, most of the time, the Jie sect disciples have the upper hand.

Chu Yang didn't explain, just looked at the departing Guangchengzi meaningfully.

For the next few days, Chu Yang kept observing every move of Guangchengzi.

He found that Guangchengzi seemed to have become much lower-key, no longer as sharp as before, and no longer tit-for-tat with the Jie sect disciples everywhere.

Could it be that he is biding his time, preparing to avenge today's humiliation in the future? Yuxu Palace, the twelve disciples of the Chan sect all sat on cushions, and in front of them was the Saint Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Master, those Jie sect disciples are bullying people too much, relying on their formations to humiliate us several times. Senior Brother Guangchengzi has been injured by their disciples several times, please ask Master to preside over justice for us!"

Chijingzi among the twelve Golden Immortals cried out.

"Please ask Master to preside over justice!"

Even Huanglong Zhenren, who had just joined the Chan sect, had sorrow in his eyes, looking like he had been bullied too much.

Guangchengzi was one of the first batch of disciples to worship in the Chan sect. Guangchengzi knew very well that Master had long disliked these second-generation disciples of the Jie sect who were wet-born, egg-born, and covered in hair and armor, but just couldn't find a better reason to expel them.

Yuanshi Tianzun listened to Chijingzi's tearful complaint, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his ancient, waveless face.

He swept a glance at the twelve Golden Immortals kneeling at the bottom and spoke slowly: "Guangchengzi, you say."

Guangchengzi immediately stepped forward and described the matter of fighting with Holy Mother Guiling. He did not add any embellishments. With the Saint's calculation ability, he could easily calculate the truth.

Yuanshi Tianzun listened to what Guangchengzi said, a flash of cold light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say much, just waved his hand, signaling the disciples to retreat.

Although the Golden Immortals were resentful in their hearts, they could only bow and exit Yuxu Palace.

In the empty Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun paced back and forth, his clothes fluttering like flowing clouds.

Guangchengzi's repeated defeats at the hands of Jie sect disciples were by no means accidental. There must be some mystery hidden in this.

Yuanshi Tianzun sneered in his heart. Kunlun Mountain has been a pure and peaceful place since Pan Gu opened the world.

Now, the Jie sect disciples are mixed, and the place is a mess, making this pure place a mess.

Birds and beasts, those covered in hair and armor, can all enter the Jie sect. What kind of system is this!

"Guangchengzi, could it be that he wants to take this opportunity to drive these Jie sect disciples out of Kunlun?"

Yuanshi Tianzun's heart moved. This explanation seems to make sense.

Guangchengzi's repeated defeats seemed to lose the face of the Chan sect, but in fact, he was intensifying the conflict between the Chan and Jie sects step by step.

If the conflict intensified to an irreconcilable point, he could logically drive the Jie sect disciples away and return Kunlun Mountain to a piece of purity.

Thinking of this, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but feel a trace of appreciation. Guangchengzi is worthy of being his eldest disciple, with a meticulous mind and decisive actions.

Yuanshi Tianzun stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, and he already had a plan in his heart.

He called the White Crane Child and ordered: "Go, gather all the disciples of Yuxu Palace to the main hall."

The child took the order and left. Not long after, the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan sect, along with named disciples like Huanglong Zhenren, all gathered in the Yuxu Palace main hall.

Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun's solemn face, everyone was a little uneasy, not knowing what had happened.

Yuanshi Tianzun said faintly: "Recently I have had some feelings and will go into seclusion to practice. The affairs of the sect will be fully handled by Guangchengzi."

Guangchengzi was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed: "Disciple will definitely not fail Master's high expectations!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly, then waved his sleeve, and a mysterious light entered Guangchengzi's body.

"Remember, don't be too hasty, you need to do it slowly."

Guangchengzi only felt a warm current flooding his whole body, and his cultivation had faintly improved. He was even more excited in his heart and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him again! He was originally a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he was considered a leader among the disciples. Now that his cultivation had improved, and Master seemed to see through his intentions, how could he not be excited! Guangchengzi hurriedly bowed and said: "Disciple obeys Master's order!" (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 561 =====

He was already at the cultivation level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and could be considered an outstanding talent among the disciples. Now that his cultivation had advanced further, and given that his master seemed to have discerned his intentions, how could he not be excited! Guang Chengzi hurriedly bowed and said, "This disciple will strictly obey the master's command!" (End of chapter)
