Chapter 853: The Three Pure Ones Gather

The Immortal Execution Four Swords, named respectively the Immortal Execution Sword, Luxian Sword, Xianxian Sword, and Juexian Sword, plus the Immortal Execution Array Diagram, are each an Innate Supreme Treasure; combined, they are the number one Innate Supreme Treasure in the Honghuang, or rather, the number one Array Formation in the Honghuang.

If set up by a Saint, it cannot be broken unless by four Saints.

The moment the Immortal Execution Four Swords were born, they radiated an extremely terrifying Sword Intent.

This Sword Intent was extremely sharp; even without anyone driving it, it caused countless tiny cracks to appear in the surrounding void, and cultivators within a radius of tens of millions of miles all felt a terrifying Sword Intent erupting in the firmament.

The terror of this Sword Intent was such that even a Golden Immortal felt their Primordial Spirit stinging.

Swords within a range of hundreds of millions of miles all began to chime, as if cheering for the appearance of the emperor among swords.

"The Immortal Execution Sword Array, it is actually the Immortal Execution Sword Array! Heavens, what a terrifying sword array; it is worthy of being the number one Innate Supreme Treasure in the Honghuang. Even from tens of millions of miles away, this poor Daoist feels my whole body stinging, as if falling into a sword prison!"

"Has the Fengshen Jie arrived so swiftly? It has not been long since it began, and already two great Innate Supreme Treasures have appeared!"

"Randeng Daoren is in danger."

Whether in reality or across the various lands of the Honghuang, countless people were in an uproar.

"Obstacle!"

Just as everyone was mourning for Randeng Daoren, a soft shout suddenly rang out between heaven and earth, like the sound of the Heavenly Dao, containing terrifying Dao rhyme and anger, exploding above the firmament.

Boom!

The newly set up Immortal Execution Sword Array shattered with a bang.

Duobao Daoren let out a miserable cry and fell from the firmament.

Randeng Daoren also rushed out from the void; his Daoist robe was shattered like a beggar's, his hair disheveled, looking utterly wretched.

Although he held the Pangu Banner, his eyes still carried a look of terror.

Seeing the Immortal Execution Sword Array suddenly collapse, he hurriedly looked around, and upon discovering Yuanshi Tianzun, he could not help but heave a long sigh of relief.

Yes, Yuanshi Tianzun had taken action.

In terms of combat power, Duobao Daoren is not much worse than Randeng Daoren.

With Duobao Daoren setting up the Immortal Execution Sword Array, even if Randeng Daoren held the Pangu Banner, he would likely have been inauspicious in the end.

Of the three great Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, Guangchengzi is considered half-crippled and cannot leave Yuxu Palace during the Fengshen War.

If Randeng Daoren were killed, then only one Antarctic Immortal would remain.

This was something Yuanshi Tianzun could not allow.

"Yuanshi Tianzun, what is the meaning of this? Are you openly breaking the agreement we Saints made earlier?"

Tongtian Jiaozhu walked out from the void.

His face was dark, his voice was cold to the extreme, and there was suppressed anger.

He was truly angry!

Since the Fengshen began, Yuanshi Tianzun had been testing him and breaking the rules in various ways.

Because he cherished the brotherhood between the Three Pure Ones over countless years, he had endured it even when displeased.

Now, Yuanshi Tianzun had actually taken action against Duobao Daoren; this was completely disregarding the rules.

Or rather, it was completely not taking him seriously.

Duobao Daoren steadied his figure; his face was pale, and he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glared at Yuanshi Tianzun with hatred, and then bowed to Tongtian Jiaozhu, saying: "Master, this disciple has caused you to lose face."

It would have been better if he hadn't spoken; hearing this, Tongtian Jiaozhu's anger grew even greater.

Yuanshi Tianzun said indifferently: "That is an overstatement; it was merely a small punishment for a great warning. This child's murderous nature is too heavy; after you return, Junior Brother, you should discipline him well."

Tongtian Jiaozhu laughed in extreme anger: "Good, good, a 'murderous nature is too heavy' indeed; you are truly capable of turning black into white. Yuanshi, this poor Daoist does not wish to say more; let us go into the Chaos to have a bout, and we shall see the truth through our own hands."

"Sigh."

An aged sigh rang out in the firmament.

Laozi walked out from the void, looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, and then looked at Tongtian: "Second Brother, Third Brother, we three have been brothers for countless years, why tear our faces apart in front of outsiders?

In this matter, your Second Brother went a bit too far.

But he was only a bit impatient and did not use a heavy hand, otherwise how could Duobao have survived."

Tongtian Jiaozhu was laughed at by anger: "Eldest Brother, you have always favored Yuanshi; as for those small matters in the past, this poor Daoist was too lazy to speak of them again. Just take this Fengshen; since you originally stated you didn't have many disciples and didn't want to participate, why did you still borrow the Taiji Diagram? This time attacking Sishui Pass, Yuanshi again borrowed the Pangu Banner.

He can borrow it, why can't this poor Daoist?

As a result, seeing that Randeng was failing, he actually took action directly, and you are shielding him like this; do you really think I, Tongtian, am made of mud?

If he does not give this poor Daoist an explanation today, this matter is not over."

Laozi also had a headache.

He secretly blamed Yuanshi Tianzun; he had indeed gone too far.

After thinking for a moment, Laozi said: "How about this, let us make an agreement here: no more borrowing Innate Supreme Treasures. In the Fengshen War, let the disciples perform as they will; life and death are determined by fate."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded indifferently and said: "Agreed."

Although Tongtian Jiaozhu's anger had not yet dissipated, he still respected Laozi quite a bit in his heart, and since he had calmed down slightly now, he no longer had the thought of tearing his face apart with Yuanshi Tianzun.

Having been brothers for countless years, he still cherished this bond.

"Fine."

After saying this, he waved his hand to put away the Immortal Execution Four Swords and the array diagram, took Duobao Daoren, and turned directly to step into the void, without lingering.

Laozi looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, just nodded, and then left as well.

Please... you... bookmark_(!)

Yuanshi Tianzun beckoned with his hand, retrieved the Pangu Banner, and said to Randeng Daoren: "You must assist Jiang Ziya well to prosper the Zhou and destroy the Shang. After this battle, this poor Daoist will naturally help you achieve the Quasi-Saint realm."

Randeng Daoren's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Thank you, Sect Master."

"Hmm!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and turned to leave.

Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun leave, Randeng Daoren also put away his look of excitement, his eyes returning to calmness.

Yuanshi Tianzun had once made him such a promise as well.

Now, he no longer believed it.

Moreover, having listened to Jieyin and Zhunti preach over these past three years, he suddenly realized that the "Extinction" and "Nirvana" of Buddhism were the Great Dao he should cultivate, for his true form was a spirit coffin.

A spirit coffin, which is to say, a coffin.

This is the starting point of death.

The Buddhist path of Extinction seemed to exist naturally for him.

He was already calculating how to establish a connection with the two Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti Daoren.

Betray the Chan Sect and join Buddhism.

As for assisting Jiang Ziya.

After the battle with Duobao Daoren, he had already decided that from now on, he would not make a move unless absolutely necessary.

Whether the immortals of the Chan Sect lived or died, or whether Western Zhou could win, what did that have to do with him!

……

The successive appearances of Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu caused an uproar throughout all of Honghuang.

Everyone was incredibly nervous, fearing that they would start fighting.

Once Saints take action, it would destroy Heaven and Earth.

Fortunately, they all left.

"Dao Ancestor above, that scared me to death; I was truly afraid that Yuanshi Saint and Tongtian Saint would start fighting."

"Tsk tsk, how should I put it? This Yuanshi Saint acted somewhat dishonorably. A dignified Saint, actually making a move against a junior; this is being a sore loser."

"Hehe, how many Golden Immortals does the Chan Sect have, and how many does the Jie Sect have?"

"The past Dragon-Han Calamity and Witch-Demon Calamity were already incomparably terrifying, and that was without the participation of Saints. Now, in this Fengshen Jie, I believe the Saints will surely enter the fray. When that time comes, we will be in danger."

……

Countless people were discussing it heatedly.

After such a scare, many who had been wavering decided to head far away to the West.

But more people could only resign themselves to fate. (End of chapter)
