Marvel's Magic Master

"My two fellow Daoists, what a brilliant plan! What a brilliant plan!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader appeared, protecting the Three Immortals behind him, and looked at Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun with a cold smile.

However, at this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun turned the tables and accused the culprit:
"Brother, why are you doing this?"

"Why do you two fellow Daoists treat my disciples of the Jie Sect this way?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader didn't bother with any more words and directly set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke again and questioned:

"When we created the Investiture of the Gods, didn't we agree that those with a deep foundation could become immortals, those with a slightly weaker foundation could become gods, and those with a shallow foundation could become humans?"

Now that the Shang dynasty has lost its way, it is destined to fail, while the Zhou dynasty is benevolent and righteous, destined to prosper. You disciples of the Jie Sect are defying Heaven and are destined to enter the path of gods and be listed on the Investiture of the Gods.

This is the will of Heaven, my dear brother, how can you stop it!

"Hahaha, what a defying act!"

The Master of Heaven was so angry he laughed:

"The Investiture of the Gods has 365 spots. The independent cultivators from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks and the disciples of the Three Religions should be listed according to their destiny."

But these two fellow Daoists only wanted my Jie Sect disciples to be on the list, and they even went so far as to take action themselves. What else is there to say?

Today, let my virtuous brother test his skills against these two fellow Daoists.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation instantly enveloped Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, and Xuandu Dafashi who was attending Taishang Laojun.

Within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, Laozi spoke:

“Brother, you are going against the will of Heaven and breaking the precept against anger and delusion. You should remove this formation as soon as possible, return to Biyou Palace, and correct your mistake.”

This way, he can continue to manage the Jie Sect.

If you refuse to heed my advice, I will have no choice but to take you to Zixiao Palace to see our master, who will banish you to the cycle of reincarnation.

"Li Dan, you've gone too far! I will never reconcile with you. If you have the guts, break my formation!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader summoned a Kui Niu, mounted it, and began to unleash the Zhuxian Sword Formation to attack Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun.

Upon seeing this, Laozi immediately summoned the Taiji Diagram, while Yuanshi Tianzun was surrounded by auspicious clouds and had a thousand golden flowers above his head.

After using the Taiji diagram and auspicious clouds to block the attacks of the four immortal swords, Laozi used his walking stick to create a gap in the formation.

The two did not leave through the gap, but instead sent Grand Master Xuandu out, along with the Hunyuan Golden Bucket and Golden Dragon Scissors they had previously acquired from the Three Immortals.

"Quickly exterminate the disciples of the Jie Sect!"

They used words to pressure the Tongtian Sect Leader to make the first move, partly so that they would have something to say when they met their master, Hongjun Patriarch, later.

They can then claim that they took action against the Three Immortals because they disrespected them, so they were just teaching them a lesson.

Since Tongtian actually attacked them beforehand, it was naturally Tongtian's fault.

On the other hand, it was also to keep the Tongtian Sect Leader occupied.

It appears that Tongtian is using the Zhuxian Sword Formation to besiege them, but in reality, they are holding back Tongtian.

They couldn't break the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, but the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation couldn't do anything to them either.

Therefore, as long as Tongtian is held back, Grand Master Xuandu, Immortal Wuliang, Daoist Randeng, and Lu Ya, along with the disciples of the Chan Sect, those rogue cultivators, and various top-tier magic treasures, can take them all.

This was enough to send all the disciples of the Jie Sect, including the Ten Heavenly Kings, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, and Zhao Gongming, to the Investiture of the Gods.

Zhao Gongming lost the Dinghai Pearl and was also hit by the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, making it difficult for him to even get out of bed, let alone fight.

Without the Hunyuan Golden Bucket and the Golden Dragon Scissors, the Three Immortals' strength was also greatly reduced.

The remaining ones are the Ten Heavenly Kings, Yang Jian, and Wen Zhong, who at most can only demonstrate the level of a newly ascended Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Even the Grand Master Xuandu could have solved it all by himself with the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron.

If they didn't hold off Tongtian Jiaozhu and allowed him to kill indiscriminately, then even if they won in the end, the disciples of Chan Sect would be slaughtered.

Below the level of a sage, all are ants; only a sage can stand in the way of another sage. This is why the Tongtian Sect Leader was so furious when he discovered that the two of them had made their move.

"It happened!"

Seeing that Grand Master Xuandu was leading disciples of the Chan Sect and the Ren Sect to attack them, Yunxiao and the others frowned deeply.

At this moment, they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, cultivation level, and magical treasures.

"Fight!"

With their master fighting on the battlefield, how could they, as disciples, back down? Even if it meant dying in battle, they would still go.

So they all took to the clouds, ready to take a few with them even if they died.

Just then, a large patch of auspicious clouds suddenly rushed in from afar:

"Senior brothers and sisters, don't panic, let us come to your aid!"

It was George who used the token given to him by the Tongtian Sect Leader to bring all the disciples of the Jie Sect over.

Yunxiao and the others turned their heads to look, and their faces immediately showed surprise and delight.

"It's Junior Brother Black Dragon, Senior Brother Duobao, and Senior Sister Jinling."

At this moment, above that auspicious cloud, there were the four direct disciples of the Jie Sect, the seven attendant disciples, and numerous outer disciples, totaling nearly ten thousand people.

Contrary to the surprise of Yunxiao and the others, when Grand Master Xuandu and the others saw that all the disciples of the Jie Sect had arrived, their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately stopped their attack.

"Brothers, junior brothers, and nephews, let's kill them all together!"

George wasted no time and immediately commanded all the disciples of the Jie Sect to surround and kill Grand Master Xuandu and his group.

While Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun are currently trapped in the Zhuxian Sword Formation and the two Western Saints have not yet discovered the situation here, kill as many as you can.

Once 365 people have been killed, the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods will be over.

Inside the Zhuxian Sword Formation, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun also noticed the reversal of the situation outside and wanted to break out of the formation to provide support.

Although they could not break the formation and defeat the Tongtian Sect Leader immediately, they could still break free from the formation's entanglement.

However, how could the Tongtian Sect Leader let the two get away so easily? He activated the Zhuxian Sword Formation with all his might, and the four immortal swords attacked wildly.

This left Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun somewhat flustered.

In such a short time, many disciples of the Chan Sect, the Ren Sect, and wandering immortals have already perished.

Of course, some disciples of the Jie Sect perished.

However, most of them are outer disciples with low cultivation levels. These disciples are not talented, but it would not be a bad thing if they could be listed on the Investiture of the Gods and gain eternal life.

After all, the quasi-saint strength of Grand Master Xuandu and others was not to be underestimated.

"go!"

Seeing that things were not going well, the rogue cultivators who had originally intended to use the Chan Sect to overcome their tribulations immediately scattered and fled.

This includes Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, who possess the Treasure-Dropping Coin, as well as Lu Ya, a quasi-saint level being.

However, how could George possibly let the two of them leave?

He had been hiding in the shadows while the disciples of the Jie Sect made their move, all for this moment.

"Where are you two going!"

George suddenly appeared and threw the purple lightning hammer over.

The Purple Lightning Hammer, carrying purple Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, erupted with terrifying lightning and rapidly grew larger, smashing towards Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.

The two were not afraid when they saw this. They worked together to activate the Treasure-Dropping Coin and used it to trap the Purple Lightning Hammer.

"Galaxy Starburst!"

Just as the two breathed a sigh of relief after capturing the magical Purple Lightning Hammer, they suddenly felt a pain in their backs, and their bodies were instantly blasted apart.

It turns out that George didn't throw the Purple Lightning Hammer hoping to defeat Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao; he simply wanted to distract them so he could engage in close combat.

"Treasure-dropping coin in hand!"

George took the treasure coin and quickly refined it.

This Treasure-Dropping Coin is an innate spiritual treasure, and except for a few supreme innate treasures, it basically counters all magical treasures.

In the primordial world, cultivators, apart from their personal cultivation and supernatural abilities, mostly derived their strength from magical treasures.

With this Treasure-Dropping Coin, the battles to come will be much easier. After obtaining the Treasure-Dropping Coin, George flew directly towards Lu Ya.

Lu Ya had just killed several outer disciples of the Jie Sect who were trying to intercept him, and was about to escape the encirclement when suddenly George blocked his way.

Although he didn't know much about George, his intuition told him that George was quite powerful. In order to escape the encirclement as soon as possible, he took out his strongest magic weapon, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.

"Please, my precious one, reincarnate!"

The red gourd was aimed at George, and a white beam of light shot out.

Within that radiant light, a creature with eyebrows, wings, a head, and eyes faintly appeared. Upon being looked at by that creature, George felt his mind begin to wander, as if he were unable to move.

Fortunately, he was prepared, and his spiritual power had reached the level of a saint. He was also proficient in the spiritual laws of the heavens, so even the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife could not stop him.

"go with!"

With a flick of his wrist, a square coin with wings shot out and collided head-on with the radiant light.

It was the Treasure-Locking Coin he had just obtained from Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, which could drop any magical treasure.

The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife is arguably the most lethal magic weapon below the innate supreme treasure, but it is still countered by the Treasure-Falling Coin.

The moment the two met, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife was absorbed by the Treasure-Falling Coin and fell into George's hands.

"Please baby, turn around!"

George instantly refined the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife after obtaining it and aimed it at Lu Ya, whose expression changed drastically as he turned to flee.

A beam of light shot out, freezing Lu Ya in place. With a turn of his head, Lu Ya's head flew off, his physical body collapsed, and his soul flew into the Investiture of the Gods.

After killing Lu Ya, George flew towards the Boundless Immortal.

As the chief disciple of the Chan Sect, Wuliang Xianweng's true cultivation had long since reached the level of a quasi-saint.

In his hand was the Five Fires Seven Feathers Fan, which was several times more powerful than the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan of his junior brother, Qingxu Moral True Lord.

There's also Zhao Gongming's Dinghai Pearl, which Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao obtained by losing precious coins.

Even with the combined efforts of the four direct disciples—Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, Holy Mother Wudang, and Holy Mother Guiling—they could only barely suppress it.

But it only suppresses it; it cannot truly kill it.

"Immeasurable Immortal Elder, do you still remember me?"

George's loud shout attracted the attention of the Boundless Immortal.

"You wicked beast!"

The Boundless Immortal naturally recognized George, the demon dragon who once resided in the Jade Void Palace of the Brain.

"Today I will send you to the Investiture of the Gods."

He was well aware of George's strength; at most, he was at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

So he first used the Twenty-Four Heavens of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to barely hold off the four Daoist Duobao, and then unleashed the Five Fires and Seven Feathers Fan at George.

In his view, as long as George is hit by the Five Fires and Seven Feathers Fan, his physical body will turn to ashes and his soul will be absorbed into the Investiture of the Gods.

However, what he didn't know was that George's cultivation level was already far beyond the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Moreover, I just acquired two top-tier magic weapons.

"Falling Treasure Coin!"

"Please baby, turn around!"

The Falling Treasure Coin directly took away the Five Fires Seven Feathers Fan, while the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife struck the Boundless Immortal Elder's neck.

"how is this possible?"

Immortal Wuliang was immediately alarmed and wanted to use the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to block the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, but the four Daoist Duobao had already coordinated perfectly to hold back the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

"Crack!"

The head of the Boundless Immortal flew up, and his soul was sucked into the Investiture of the Gods.

"evil creature!"

A loud shout came from the sky, and terrifying pressure immediately came from above.

It turned out that Yuanshi Tianzun discovered that his eldest disciple had been killed, and with all his might, he finally broke free from the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

However, just as he was about to avenge his eldest disciple, the Tongtian Sect Leader once again exerted his power, bringing the Zhuxian Sword Formation towards Yuanshi Tianzun.

"One Qi transforms three pure things!"

At this moment, Laozi also exerted his power, using his most powerful divine abilities.

"I am the Daoist Taiqing!"

"I am Taoist Yuqing!"

"I am a Taoist from the Shangqing Dynasty!"

Three clones separated from his body, each with the same cultivation level as him.

Together with his main body, the four of them withstood the attack of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, creating an opportunity for Yuanshi Tianzun.

"As expected, there is a connection."

George reached out and took the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. Instead of immediately returning it to Zhao Gongming, he refined it for his own use while keeping a close eye on the battle between the three sages in heaven.

He discovered that Laozi's ability to transform into the Three Pure Ones from one breath, and his various celestial avatars, did indeed share a common principle.

However, his avatars in the heavens are more powerful and more perfect.

So, just as he guessed, his ability to split himself into various realms likely originated from the ancestor Hongjun.

Hongjun Laozu was the master of Taishang Laojun, so he must have been even more proficient in supernatural powers such as the ability to create clones like the Three Pure Ones.

"Junior brother, be careful!"

Laozi used his supernatural power of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" to block the Zhuxian Sword Formation. Yuanshi Tianzun, with no worries, took out a box from his sleeve and threw it at George.

Knowing the power of the box, Daoist Duobao immediately warned George.

Although Daoist Duobao's cultivation was not the strongest among all the direct disciples and outer disciples, he was the one who best learned the art of refining treasures from the Tongtian Sect Master.

Moreover, he had done extensive research on the magical artifacts of the Chan Sect and even copied many of them.

Therefore, he knew that the treasure box in the sleeve of the Primordial Celestial Venerable was extraordinary; even a Quasi-Saint would instantly turn into blood if sucked into it.

Unfortunately, his warning came too late. George was sucked into the box without any resistance and turned into a pool of blood.

"wrong!"

The Primordial Lord, who retrieved the box, did not smile after killing George; instead, he frowned.

Because no divine soul flew into the Investiture of the Gods from the box, and none of the magical treasures that George had just used appeared.

"What a brilliant technique of creating a clone! I was even fooled."

He soon realized that he had only killed a clone of George, not the real George.

"Luckily, I was prepared."

At this moment, George's true form had already secretly hidden in the shadows using the hidden authority of the Dark Path.

It turns out that George, who appeared with the disciples of the Jie Sect at the beginning, was not his original body, but an avatar that he had created long ago.

As someone capable of creating clones from chaos and infiltrating the heavens, his skill in creating clones is no less than that of Laozi's One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.

Moreover, his actual combat strength has reached the level of a typical saint, and creating a clone is enough to handle most situations.

As for why he didn't show himself and have a fight with the Primordial Celestial Venerable?
Because he is indeed no match for Yuanshi Tianzun now. If he were one of the two Western Saints, he could put up a fight.

Furthermore, he cannot reveal too much of his strength, as his purpose is not merely to help the Jie Sect overcome the tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

More importantly, we should borrow the merits of the two Western saints to attain the status of a saint.

"Disciples of the Jie Sect, heed my command! Form the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation!"

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun was out of control and could slaughter his disciples at any moment, and that he himself could not defeat Taishang Laojun in the short term.

The Tongtian Sect Leader voluntarily withdrew the Zhuxian Sword Formation, reunited with his disciples, and set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the strongest formation he had created.
