fifth form

Chapter 3492 Taming
One-third of the Hunyuan Wuji Array does indeed have shortcomings.

The power of the three sacred lands, in harmony with the workings of heaven and earth, can transform the Hundred Thousand Mountains, turning a thoroughfare into an insurmountable barrier. This kind of formation is an auxiliary ability, not a means of killing.

This formation had the Han Dynasty's northern army completely bewildered and had also blocked hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, forcing the Qin Emperor to build the Great Wall to divide and defend the territory. However, when facing individual powerful cultivators, this formation was not as effective as expected.

"Move the mountain!"

With the power of the mountains and rivers gathered in his palm, the three great mountains surrounding the holy land emitted a sound of earth-shattering collapse, and half of the mountains collapsed and fell down.

The mountainside rushed down like a mudslide, with countless boulders crashing into the center of the Xieluoschuan Holy Land.

"Good good!"

The scene of the mountain collapsing was like the end of the world. Almost a third of the many frenzied birds, beasts and bird demons were crushed to death in an instant. Even the leaders of the Jieyin Sect and the Zhunti Sect were covered in dust and flew upwards. Donghua's hearty laughter came from the Eight Views Carriage.

"I previously judged that there was still a three-point deficiency, but now I am absolutely certain," Donghua laughed loudly.

"Haotian, don't mess this up!" the leader of the Jieyin Sect exclaimed.

“We have already killed the Five Lakes Dragon Kings, now it’s your turn to make a move,” said the Master Zhunti with a solemn expression.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I've got everything under control. You all don't need to worry!"

Donghua waved his hand, indicating that everyone did not need to be nervous in the face of the formation.

"This formation is meant to trap, not kill; Zhu Jiuyin has actually trapped himself," Donghua said. "This matches my prediction perfectly!"

“We don’t understand what you’re saying, so what should we do?” the leader of the Guiding Sect asked.

"No rush," Donghua waved his hand and said, "I just need to wait for an opportunity!"

"What opportunity?" the leader of the Jieyin Sect asked in confusion.

"After the mountain collapses, you all need to carve out a small path into the secret realm, even just planting a pole will do," Donghua confirmed. "Leave everything else to me!"

"That's so superstitious!"

The Master Zhunti made a sarcastic remark.

Since they first came into contact, they had not had any direct conflict with this Kunlun Emperor, but the things he pointed out had all hit the nail on the head for the two leaders.

And as the other party said, once they confirm it, there will indeed be no further involvement.

If everything is as Donghua said, they can practically stand by and watch from the sidelines.

The leader of the Zhunti Sect reached out and threw the blue lotus from his palm downwards.

Previously, the Earth Dragon King in the sacred lake transformed into a mountain, and the collapse and compression of the three mountains in the Xieluoschuan Sacred Land further piled up this mountain layer by layer, resulting in a mountain nearly 100 feet high.

It would be quite difficult for ordinary people to enter by digging, and even a great cultivator would need a considerable amount of time to clear a passage.

If all that's needed is to clear the area where you insert a pole, that's easy.

The blue lotus landed on the mountainside, with countless roots extending out from below and continuing to spread downwards, while a hole the thickness of a finger also continued to spread and deepen.

"I've heard that there's a great array called Hunyuan Wuji in Beiju Luzhou. This array is extremely powerful in creating heaven and earth. My green lotus can open a path, but it will also be repaired by the array." The Guiding Master said, "When is the opportunity you're talking about? Don't wait until I take the green lotus and then you say the opportunity has arrived!"

“That’s right, we need to give them a timeframe,” said Master Zhunti, “so that if things go wrong, we two brothers won’t be blamed!”

"Almost there!"

Donghua stretched out the Spirit Gathering Banner in his hand and kept chanting incantations.

He made a gesture, and the Azure Lotus of the Guiding Master was withdrawn, and the Spirit Gathering Banner was immediately inserted into the passage pierced by the Azure Lotus.

Countless souls roared, trying to break free from the banner, but were pulled in by the vortex and sank in. The power of the thousands of souls forcibly expanded the passage that the Azure Lotus had previously opened, and also pulled on the array's pulling force, thus forming a kind of confrontation.

"You're really willing to give it up. This Spirit Gathering Banner refined so many souls back then, and you just throw it all away like that," the Guiding Sect Leader sighed.

“The living souls will be pulled and killed by the power of the great formation. It is estimated that the Yellow Springs will evolve here in the future, and will spread throughout this area surrounded by water,” the Zhunti Sect Master guessed.

"This is a bit against the natural order!"

The two exchanged a knowing glance, but neither uttered the last word. After all, they weren't the ones who did this, and if Donghua didn't care, they obviously couldn't care either.

"Are you planning to create a battleground for that white snake to fight against Zhujiuyin?" the Emperor and Empress asked worriedly. "This fiend is from beyond the realm; a slight mishap could lead to disaster!"

"I gave it a chance, but it's unlikely to seize it," Donghua laughed. "Once we return to Kunlun, I'll find a treasure to suppress it!" "It's good that Your Majesty understands!"

The Emperor and Empress nodded.

Compared to the Emperor's decadence in the past, he is now confident and composed, as if everything is under control.

This was the emperor the empress had hoped to see, yet he was also an emperor who felt somewhat unfamiliar to her.

“You need not worry about it. My cultivation technique removed that hairy monkey from my body, and my personality has changed somewhat, losing some of its demonic nature,” Donghua said. “But I am still me, and our goal of pursuing immortality and transcendence remains unchanged!”

"Your Majesty is right!"

The Emperor and Empress nodded.

She frequently recalled the conflicts between the Emperor and Zhang Xuezhou, including instances where the Emperor directly targeted them.

This sudden change aroused suspicion in the Emperor and Empress, but the Emperor did not take any further action. Instead, he devoted himself to communicating with the Celestial Court and the Western Religion, and promoted the progress of the elixir of immortality. Almost all his actions no longer involved Zhang Xuezhou.

This attitude significantly reduced the Emperor and Empress's wariness, and Donghua's mention of the changes brought about by cultivation now had a reasonable explanation.

The Emperor was probably in the wrong at the time, but there was nothing that could be done once the deed was done.

At this moment, Donghua destroyed the Soul Gathering Banner, a treasure he once possessed, and was doing everything he could to capture Zhujiuyin. The matter was somewhat crazy, but as long as one thinks of immortality and transcendence, this behavior can be understood.

The Emperor and Empress agreed to Donghua's request, and then turned their gaze to the mountain in the center of the Xieluoschuan Holy Land.

The spirits of the Soul Gathering Banner roared underground. These living souls, tempered over many years, would inevitably seize the aura of any living being and attach themselves to it, either draining its body, forcibly taking over its body, or being devoured by their own kind and turned to ashes.

Without the control of the Soul Gathering Banner, the behavior of these living souls became uncontrollable, and neither the Emperor nor the Empress knew what the final outcome would be.

"Sure enough!"

On the Eight Views Carriage, Donghua sat for almost a quarter of an hour before quickly getting up and letting out a joyful sound.

"What do you mean?"

As the leader of the Jieyin Sect was puzzled, a muffled sound came from the mountain below, and the entire mountain roared, accompanied by a surge of soil and rocks.

"As expected, Zhu Jiuyin's situation is even worse than I anticipated!"

Donghua gave a brief response.

He stretched out his right hand and counted, and when his five fingers had counted twice, he lightly leaped up.

As he reached for the Spirit Gathering Banner, a dragon head the size of a small mountain emerged from the ground and caught Donghua as he fell.

"Let's go!"

Donghua raised the Spirit Gathering Banner, and the dragon head beneath it roared.

"You have no choice at this point!"

The Spirit Gathering Banner was waved repeatedly, accompanied by Donghua's continuous curses. The red dragon beneath his body coiled out and began to follow Donghua's instructions.

Like a docile dog, the direction pointed to by the Donghua Gathering Spirit Banner became the direction Zhu Jiuyin traveled.

The leaders of the Jieyin and Zhunti sects exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock. They never expected that Zhu Jiuyin would obey their orders like a lapdog.

"It seems he sealed the white snake's soul into Zhu Jiuyin's body!"

"This was achieved by controlling Zhujiuyin through the White Snake and then using taming techniques to quickly subdue him. But where did Zhujiuyin go?"

The leaders of the Jieyin and Zhunti sects whispered to each other.

Zhu Jiuyin's combat power is not as strong as that of the Three Pure Ones, but his ability to traverse between reality and illusion makes him a notoriously difficult opponent.

The two leaders held Zhu Jiuyin in awe and turned a blind eye to his protection of the demon race, even though the leader of the Jieyin Sect coveted the Wood Dragon King.

But what's happening right now is so simple it's hard to believe.

Without even a simple struggle, Donghua found an opportunity when Zhujiuyin had not taken control of his body, and then completed the task of seizing the body.

This could even persuade the other party to send them to Kunlun to refine the elixir of immortality.

As Donghua once said, all that's needed is to find the right opportunity, and then everything can be accomplished.
