Marvel's Magic Master

Where are the Three Immortals of Sanxiao?

Laozi revealed his form and landed on the Three Immortal Islands.

The Investiture of the Gods has not yet begun, and it is not the time to tear off the mask of civility, so he cannot directly take down the Three Immortals.

Otherwise, when the Tongtian Sect Leader comes out, he will have an excuse to cause trouble.

Moreover, such calculations and plans cannot be discussed openly.

However, once he arrived at the Three Immortal Islands, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao would naturally not dare to continue using their supernatural powers in front of him, which would be equivalent to stopping their subsequent plans.

Before the Investiture of the Gods was created, Yuanshi found him, and the two hit it off immediately, planning to use the entire Jie Sect as a sacrifice for the Investiture of the Gods.

That's why all sorts of arrangements were made.

Yuanshi wanted to take over the Investiture of the Gods war to help his disciples overcome their tribulations, develop the power of the Chan Sect, and completely suppress the increasingly powerful Jie Sect.

As the leader of the Humanist Church, he needs the prosperity of humanity.

The fall of the Shang dynasty and the rise of the Zhou dynasty is the right path for humanity.

However, the Shang Dynasty had many disciples of the Jie Sect, especially Wen Zhong, who was an important minister of the Shang Dynasty. In the later period, he would inevitably gather a large number of Jie Sect disciples to protect the Shang Dynasty.

Therefore, he would definitely help Yuanshi suppress the Jie Sect.

Furthermore, Tongtian taught without discrimination, taking in too many demons as disciples, all of whom were highly skilled.

If this is not curbed, it will inevitably harm humanity.

Now, whether it's Tongtian's plan or the Three Immortals' own idea, he can't sit idly by and watch things deviate too far from the plan.

"Disciples Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao greet our senior uncle!"

Upon discovering that Laozi had appeared on the Three Immortal Islands, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao immediately appeared to greet him.

Ordinary people may not know that Laozi is an incarnation of the Daode Tianzun, but as some of the strongest disciples of the Jie Sect, how could they not know?

The Celestial Venerable of Morality is their master's senior brother, which means they are their senior uncle, so they naturally cannot be negligent in their etiquette.

Although they did not have any respect for the Heavenly Venerable of Morality and the Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning.

After all, both the Chan Sect and the Human Sect have a great deal of prejudice against their demon race.

"I didn't know you, Uncle Master, what brings you here?"

"I've heard my junior brother talk about you often before. Since I'm just passing by, I thought I'd come down and see for myself. Aren't you welcome?"

Lao Tzu waved his whisk and said with a smile.

The three immortals exchanged glances, a fleeting look of doubt in their eyes, but their faces still wore respectful smiles.

"Of course you're welcome, but I'm afraid the celestial wine and fruits here won't suit your taste, Master Uncle."

"It seems they haven't noticed yet."

When George saw that Laozi had approached the Three Immortals, he guessed Laozi's intentions, concealed all his aura, and quietly left the Three Immortal Islands.

Laozi is the incarnation of the Supreme Lord of Morality. He is skilled in alchemy and, although he possesses the strength of a sage, he is not the true form of Laozi.

Therefore, it's quite normal that he mistakenly identified the Three Immortals as the mastermind behind the scenes, given his efforts to conceal this fact.

George felt no guilt whatsoever about making the three immortals take the blame for him.

Because the Jie Sect is destined to be enemies with the Chan Sect and the Ren Sect, even if they do nothing, the Moral Celestial Venerable and the Primordial Celestial Venerable will not let them go.

The Investiture of the Gods needs to be filled with powerful figures of sufficient stature.

Only by hiding his true intentions well, preventing Laozi from figuring out his background in advance, could he help the Jie Sect turn the tide in the Investiture of the Gods war.

"It's time to bring them back."

After leaving the Three Immortal Islands, George headed straight for the Heavenly Court.

His goal has been achieved; the strength of his four disciples, as well as Nezha and Ao Bing, has increased significantly.

It's time to call it a day.

It's impossible for the four disciples, along with Nezha and Yang Jian, to actually destroy the Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor is the rightful ruler of the Three Realms, possessing the fortune of the Three Realms, and can turn misfortune into good fortune. Even a saint could not kill him.

If they encounter danger, various coincidences and twists of fate will naturally save them.

Even sages may be influenced by the Great Dao.

This is why Laozi could calmly watch over the Three Immortals of the Heavenly Court without worrying about the crisis there.

Laozi was never worried that Yang Jian and the others would kill the Jade Emperor; he was only worried that the Three Immortals of Sanxiao would use their previous methods to exert various influences and continue to disrupt some of his and Yuanshi's plans.

George knew this well, so after Laozi mistook him for someone else, he no longer exercised the power of the dreamer, but went there himself.

In case his disciples were captured by some powerful figure.

As for Yao Ji, if we can't save her this time, there will be plenty of opportunities to save her in the future.

As long as they don't die, it's not a big problem.

On the other side, seeing that Yang Jian and his six companions were about to reach Yaochi, the Jade Emperor immediately ordered the sluice gates to be opened, intending to drown Yang Jian and his six companions with heavenly water.

As a result, Yang Jian and his six companions did not drown, but the floodwaters could not be contained and rushed straight to the human world.

If the water from the heavens were to enter the human world, it would undoubtedly be a great disaster for humanity.

The kind-hearted Yang Chan and Ao Bing, who was skilled in water control, joined forces to use the Lotus Lantern to block the heavenly water that was about to fall to earth.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong, Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Nezha continued their attack on the Heavenly Court.

Just as they stormed into Yaochi, the Five Extreme War Gods sent by Emperor Gouchen arrived and, together with the Jade Emperor's personal guard, General Curtain-Raising, temporarily stopped the four of them.

However, Sun Wukong wielding the Golden Cudgel, Yang Jian wielding the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword, Yang Jiao wielding the Divine Dragon Axe, and Nezha wielding the Fire-Tipped Spear were simply too powerful in combat.

The level-five war god and the curtain-rolling general were also being suppressed and gradually showed signs of defeat.

In fact, compared to the others, the overall cultivation level of the fifth-level war gods is much higher, all of them being at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, while Juanlian is slightly weaker, being at the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Here, only Sun Wukong and Yang Jian are at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, Nezha is at the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and Yang Jiao is at the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

However, higher cultivation level does not necessarily mean greater strength.

Unless one crosses a major realm or reaches the level of a sage, the outcome is difficult to predict.

Magical artifacts and cultivation techniques also play a significant role.

Sun Wukong and Nezha, one is a naturally born spiritual being from a stone monkey, the other is the reincarnation of a demon pill, one possesses the Ruyi Jingu Bang, the other possesses the Fire-Tipped Spear, the Hun Tian Ling, and the Wind-Fire Wheels.

Those were basically beings who could easily crush those of the same realm. Even the renowned Five Extremes War God, who was extremely skilled in combat, would struggle to fight two against one.

Yang Jian is equally extraordinary. He possesses the bloodline of a celestial being, the Heavenly Eye, and his three-headed dragon form with three points and two blades is no less powerful than Yao Ji.

Even the weaker Yang Jiao is still very strong among those of the same level.

In addition, they are all exceptionally talented, with superb learning abilities, and they grow rapidly in battle, becoming stronger with each fight.

So even if they were initially at a disadvantage, they quickly grew stronger in the battle and gradually suppressed their opponent.

And so, after a fierce battle, the Five Extremes War God and the Curtain-Rolling General were ultimately defeated and knocked to the ground.

"You old Jade Emperor, release my junior brother's mother at once, or the emperor's throne will be in my family's hands today!"

Sun Wukong jumped onto the table in front of the Jade Emperor, picked up a peach, took a bite, and threatened the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.

Yang Jian and Yang Jiao immediately followed suit:
"If you release our mother, we will immediately leave Heaven."

Nezha's eyes darted around:
"And incidentally, pardon all the dragons' crimes!"

After the Dragon Clan attacked the Heavenly Court, they were suppressed and later exploited. In addition, they had a fight with the Boundless Immortal of the Chan Sect, so they had no choice but to hide on the Three Immortal Islands.

If they could be pardoned of all their crimes, they could return to the world. "Impossible. Even if you kill me, I will not release your mother, nor will I forgive the crimes committed by the dragons."

They have violated the divine law and must be punished!

The Jade Emperor slammed his fist on the table in anger, showing no sign of backing down.

Whether for the sake of saving face or to uphold the heavenly rules, he could not back down in any way.

At least not openly.

If he backs down today, he and the Heavenly Court will truly become a joke, and they will never be able to rule the Three Realms again.

He hadn't cared much about the Three Pure Ones creating the Investiture of the Gods before, but now he really felt that the Investiture of the Gods was extremely important.

If the Heavenly Court had enough powerful figures to protect him, he would not have been so humiliated.

"Release my mother, or I'll kill you!"

Enraged, Yang Jian held his three-pointed double-edged sword to the Jade Emperor's neck, seemingly ready to kill his heartless uncle at any moment.

"impossible!"

The Jade Emperor gritted his teeth and still refused to budge.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Don't be impulsive. The Jade Emperor is the ruler of the Three Realms. If you kill him, the Three Realms will suffer a great calamity."

"We can talk things over, we can talk things over."

"Second Brother, don't be impulsive!"

At this time, Yang Chan and Ao Bing, who had already forced Tianshui back to the Milky Way, also arrived at Yaochi.

The clever Yang Chan stepped forward to stop Yang Jian, looking at the Jade Emperor with a pitiful expression:

"Uncle, our mother is your own sister. Please, please release her and let her reunite with our family."

Your niece is kowtowing to you here!

As she spoke, Yang Chan knelt down and kowtowed deeply to the Jade Emperor. Then, she stared intently at him with her large, tear-filled eyes.

Since the hard approach wasn't working, she decided to try a softer one.

Upon seeing this, the Jade Emperor showed a moved expression, opened his mouth, but still did not say anything about releasing Yao Ji.

Seeing that the Jade Emperor was unmoved by either soft or hard tactics, Sun Wukong's monkey temper flared up, and he swung his golden cudgel to hit the Jade Emperor on the head, intending to teach him a lesson.

However, at that moment, a Zen-like sound suddenly rang out from the Jade Pool:
"You audacious wretch, stop now!"

This Zen-like remark caused Sun Wukong to feel a sudden pain in his head, and naturally, he couldn't swing his golden cudgel anymore.

"Who dares to ambush your Grandpa Sun?"

Looking up at the sky, I saw two Taoist priests dressed in strange clothes who had appeared in the Jade Pool at some point.

The two Taoist priests ignored Sun Wukong and instead bowed to the Jade Emperor, saying:

"The Western Sect's Zhunti and Jieyin have heard that His Majesty the Jade Emperor is in some trouble, and have come to offer their assistance!"

"Cundi and Jieyin"

The Jade Emperor was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that there was indeed a Western Religion in the West, but the West was a barren land, and it was mainly under the jurisdiction of the Great Emperor Gouchen, so he had never paid attention to it.

"Please, both of you, quickly subdue these rebellious demons and heretics!"

The Queen Mother of the West reacted very quickly. Seeing that the two were quite powerful, she immediately asked for help.

Seeing that Zhunti and Jieyin didn't take him seriously, Sun Wukong immediately flew over and swung his staff in anger.

"You wicked child, do not be so presumptuous."

Zhunti reached out and took out a magic staff, gently waving it forward. Sun Wukong was immediately struck as if by lightning, coughing up blood and flying back in serious injury.

"Big Brother!"

Yang Jian and the others were immediately alarmed and quickly caught Sun Wukong.

You must know that the eldest brother was at the Spiritual Enlightenment stage, and even without cultivating any techniques, his physical body was incredibly strong.

However, the Taoist priest opposite him had seriously injured the senior brother with just a casual gesture, demonstrating the terrifying power of his cultivation.

"Lotus lantern."

Yang Chan quickly took out the Lotus Lantern to heal Sun Wukong's injuries and said to him:
"withdraw!"

These two Taoist priests from the Western Sect are far more powerful than they are. Even if they all attacked at once, they probably wouldn't be a match for them.

So the most important thing now is to escape first, and then figure out a solution later.

Although Yang Jiao and Yang Jian were unwilling, they knew that now was not the time to show off.

Otherwise, not only would he be in danger, but he would also implicate his senior brother, Nezha, and Ao Bing who came to help.

So everyone immediately made hand seals and prepared to escape.

"You are all destined to be with my Western religion, come with me to the Western Paradise!"

Unfortunately, they were seized by a powerful force as soon as they took off, and no matter how hard they tried or what kind of magic they used, they could not break free.

It was the Guide of the West, one of the two Western Saints, who made the move.

The Guide Daoist threw out his magic treasure, the Qiankun Bag, intending to take Yang Jian and the other six to the West and accept them as disciples of the Western Sect.

Back then, the two of them made a great vow to establish a paradise and revitalize Western religion, so that they could achieve sainthood through merit.

However, the West suffers from a lack of resources and a decline in talent, so no matter how hard they try, they see no improvement.

After some calculations, they realized that they wanted to repay the debt of merit and revitalize the Western religion.

Then we must come to the East and find a way to snatch people from the three religions.

However, the three religions are so powerful that it is impossible to force them; there must be a legitimate reason.

The Investiture of the Gods was a great opportunity.

If handled properly, it is possible to take away a sufficient number of talents at once, solidify the foundation of Western religion, and fulfill the merits owed.

However, before the Three Pure Ones could emerge from seclusion, the Investiture of the Gods officially began, and they unexpectedly had the opportunity ahead of schedule.

The Jade Emperor's nephew led his friends to attack the Heavenly Court. This was originally a family matter for the Jade Emperor, and they shouldn't interfere.

Furthermore, although the Three Pure Ones were in seclusion refining the Investiture of the Gods, there was still Laozi in the Heavenly Court.

It's not their place to step in.

However, upon closer inspection, wow, the Jade Emperor's two outer gods and his niece are all incredibly talented and have immense potential.

Let's look at their friends, the Spirit Stone Monkey, Spirit Pearl, and Demon Orb, two of the Four Great Mischievous Monkeys.

If they could be converted to Buddhism in the West, they would definitely become pillars of the religion and become top experts in the future.

He's definitely a saint in the making!
However, with Laozi present, they could only watch and dared not intervene rashly.

As a result, Laozi suddenly passed away, and the Jade Emperor was in real danger. When else would they act if not now?
By taking the opportunity to openly and legitimately save the ruler of the Three Realms, and converting these six people, even if Laozi were to return, he couldn't say anything.

"No, I can't hold on any longer!"

How could someone like Yang Jian, who was not even a Great Luo Golden Immortal, possibly withstand a sage-level Daoist guide?

They only lasted a few seconds before they felt their magic power about to be exhausted and they were about to be sucked into the golden cloth bag.

"Supernatural Power - Eliminate Your Magic Weapon!"

Just then, a beam of light suddenly shot towards the Qiankun Bag, which was immediately knocked away. Yang Jian and the others escaped the fate of being sucked into the Qiankun Bag and converted.
