Marvel's Magic Master

"Didn't you want to help Zhou overthrow Zhou? Didn't you say that my Jie Sect is going against the will of Heaven?"
"Today, I, the leader, will set up this Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to test your skills and see who truly defies the heavens!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader used the Four Swords of Zhuxian as the core of the formation, and successively extended the Taiji Formation, the Yin-Yang Formation, the Four Symbols Formation, and other formations, maximizing the power of the formations.

"The power of this formation is probably stronger than the one I had."

George did not join the formation, but continued to remain hidden outside.

In the original novel, the Tongtian Sect Leader lost his four most powerful killing swords after the Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, and the two Western Saints broke the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

Therefore, the only option is to refine the Six Soul Banner as the core of the formation to execute the Myriad Immortals Formation.

However, the Six Soul Banner, which can be crafted later, is mainly used for curse killing. It takes a long time to take effect, and the direct enhancement it brings to the formation is far less than that of the Four Swords of Zhuxian bestowed by Hongjun.

In addition, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation at this time also incorporates the Ten Absolute Formations set up by the Ten Heavenly Lords who should have been killed in the original work, as well as Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortals, and others who are at the Quasi-Saint level.

The overall power of the formation naturally far exceeded that of the original Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

"Hmph, Tongtian, don't be so smug. We will definitely break your Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and make all these scaled and horned beasts you've taken in reincarnation!"

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced around and turned green with anger.

Because he counted the losses, the Chan Sect was now suffering heavy losses.

Those disciples with average strength who died are simply dead; they'll recover in no time anyway.

The key issue is that many of his personally trained disciples were also killed and implicated in the Investiture of the Gods.

His eldest disciple was Wuliang Xianweng, and he was one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, along with Chijingzi, Huanglong Zhenren, Julusun, Lingbao Dafashi, Cihang Daoren, Daoxing Tianzun, and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun.

There are also some elite third-generation disciples like Lei Zhenzi.

What he didn't know was that, apart from Randeng Daoren and Guangchengzi, who survived the beating of the Jie Sect disciples because of their strength, they were also able to survive.

People like Taiyi Zhenren, Yuding Zhenren, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, and Puxian Zhenren were spared from being killed because George gave them advance notice.

The four people fighting against them were none other than Sun Wukong and his two siblings, Yang Jian and his sister.

Taiyi Zhenren was Nezha's master, and Yuding Zhenren also helped Yang Jian and his companions when they were rescuing their mother.

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, and Samantabhadra, the True Man, are the masters of Jinzha and Muzha.

Due to their differing stances, the two sides were forced to fight, but neither side went all out.

In fact, not all disciples of the Chan Sect in this world want to fight this battle.

"Come on then! This sect leader will beat you both to a pulp!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader's face was filled with murderous intent, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation also exuded a murderous aura that seemed almost tangible.

"The Myriad Immortals Formation, with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation at its core, would be difficult to break if there were only the two of us."

Laozi's brows gradually furrowed.

Their initial plan was to slowly lure the disciples of the Jie Sect to kill them, in order to reduce the number of Jie Sect masters and thus weaken the power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

But something went wrong, causing the final battle to break out ahead of schedule.

Even if he and Yuanshi were both saints, this level of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation would still pose some danger.

"Fellow Daoists, my fellow disciple and I are willing to lend a helping hand!"

Just as Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun were racking their brains for a way to break the formation, two Taoist priests arrived from the west.

"So it is the two from the Western Sect. Your arrival at this time is truly the will of Heaven!"

Laozi immediately greeted him with a beaming smile.

Despite his wariness of the two men due to the previous events in Heaven, and his concern that they might have already cooperated with the Tongtian Sect Leader.

However, after considering various factors, it was still believed that the two could collaborate.

As long as enough benefits are offered.

"To be honest, fellow Daoist, we came to the East to find a kindred spirit. We happened to see a red light soaring into the sky from this Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, indicating that three thousand mortals are destined to be connected with our Western Sect."

Therefore, we two hope to guide them to practice our Western religion.

Zhunti Daoist's meaning was simple: as long as you allow me to take the three thousand disciples of the Jie Sect to the Western Sect afterward, I am willing to help.

Lao Tzu did not refuse:

"That's perfect. Let these scaly, horned, and morally ambiguous creatures go to the Western Sect to cultivate properly. It's a blessing for them."

With the terms agreed upon, the four of them stopped wasting words and entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation together.

Lao Tzu flicked his hand, and simultaneously unleashed a series of magical treasures, including the Tai Chi diagram, the Qiankun diagram, the Flaming Banner, the Wind and Fire Futon, and the Flat Staff.

A thousand golden lotuses formed a protective barrier around Yuanshi Tianzun, who simultaneously released the Pangu Banner, the Three Treasures Ruyi, the Three Lights Divine Water, and the Taiji Talisman.

The two Western Saints simultaneously manifested their golden bodies with eighteen arms and twenty-four heads.

He holds various magical treasures, including the Seven Treasures Tree, the Blessing Vajra, the Six Roots Purification Bamboo, relics, the Qiankun Bag, the Guiding Banner, the Blue Lotus Banner, and the Demon-Subduing Vajra.

"It seems they dare not let the disciple in again."

Seeing that the four saints had completely entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, George couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile of triumph.

In the original story, the Four Sages bestowed magical treasures upon their disciples to explore the path, and then offered assistance as needed.

Now, perhaps because too many disciples have died, they're afraid that if they go in again, they'll all end up on the Investiture of the Gods list, and then there'll be no point in them continuing to fight.

So he had several disciples keep watch from the outside while he personally entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

Of course, George was so happy not because he could take advantage of the four saints entering the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to deal with Grand Master Xuandu and Daoist Ran Deng.

Rather, it was his chance to steal the merits and fortune of the Western religion.

The Western Religion possesses a magical treasure called the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit, which is the treasure that safeguards the religion's destiny.

It has always been placed in Western religions to suppress the flow of fortune.

In the original story, when the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit was being subdued, the attendants of the two Western Saints accidentally released the Mosquito Taoist.

Not only did Mosquito Taoist drain the essence and blood of the Holy Mother of Guilin, but he also went to the Western Sect to absorb the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit, causing the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit to drop to the Ninth Grade.

If it weren't for the two Western Saints converting three thousand worldly beings and guiding many disciples of the Chan Sect to Buddhism...

It is feared that the fortunes of the Western religion will decline sharply, and the two men will find it difficult to maintain their positions as saints.

Even so, it left hidden dangers for Western religions, which enabled Laozi's plan to convert barbarians to Buddhism to succeed, and made Duobao Daoren the Buddha.

To be honest, he even suspected that the Mosquito Taoist might be part of Laozi's scheme.

Therefore, what he needs to do now is to take advantage of the fact that the two Western Saints are temporarily unable to get out of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and go to the Western Sect to swallow the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit.

Once he swallows the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit, he can steal power through erroneous means, seize the Western fortune, and become a saint of merit.

"The Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit, here I come!"

George vanished from Sishui Pass in an instant, and reappeared above the Western Religion's stronghold, Lingshan.

"There's another formation? Break it!"

Without wasting any time breaking through the defensive formation of Mount Ling, he raised his hand and unleashed a Kamehameha wave, violently blasting the formation apart on the spot.

"Who dares to trespass on my sacred mountain!"

The moment the Ling Mountain formation was blasted apart, the Western Sect cultivators who were practicing inside were immediately awakened and flew out using their magical treasures.

Although the West is suffering from a shortage of talent, the two sages have managed it for so long that it is not entirely without manpower.

However, their aptitude was generally mediocre, with the highest cultivation level being only Taiyi Golden Immortal, and most of them not even reaching the level of Celestial Immortal.

Basically, any cultivator at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm could wipe out the entire Western Sect.

In other words, someone like Guang Chengzi from the Chan Sect or Guiling Shengmu from the Jie Sect would be enough to deal with everyone in the Western Sect except for the two Western Saints.

No wonder the two Western saints went to the East to enlighten and guide people.

The main reason is that the gap is simply too large. "Prince's Battle Tactics!"

George, too lazy to deal with these Western believers, raised his hand and fired a series of air blasts, like a shower of flowers, knocking down all the Western believers.

He then flew into the Great Thunderclap Temple on Mount Ling and came to the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit.

"Bring it to you!"

Opening his own world, George instantly devoured the golden lotus and began to refine and absorb it.

As a top-tier multiverse-level powerhouse who has devoured and absorbed countless worlds in chaos, he is quite adept at this kind of thing.

Countless worldly laws were inserted into the twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit, like straws.

Power, laws, fortune, merit, and other elements are channeled into George's multiverse world along the laws.

His multiverse began to expand rapidly, and his strength soared, loosening the threshold for advancing to the super-universe level.

At the same time, because the power of his clone in this world has soared, he is about to achieve sainthood through merit.

The main body and the other clones also began to significantly increase their strength.

As a result, the speed at which the Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya world clones devoured and merged with the world also skyrocketed.

This caused his clone to absorb and devour the Twelfth Grade Merit Lotus even faster, creating a virtuous cycle.

Before long, the number of twelve-petaled golden lotuses of merit was reduced to half.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the two Western Saints were helping Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

Suddenly sensing that the Western Religion's fortune was rapidly dissipating and that his own cultivation was becoming unstable, his expression changed drastically.

"Oh no! The Twelfth-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit is in danger!"

They disregarded the already unstable Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and flew rapidly towards the outside of it.

"Hahaha, you think you can just leave? Not so easy."

"All disciples of the Jie Sect, listen to my command! Your junior brother has already raided the Western Sect's home base. Hold those two bald monks back at all costs!"

When the Tongtian Sect Leader saw that the two Western Saints had stopped attacking the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and instead tried to break out, he knew perfectly well that his little disciple's plan had succeeded.

While setting up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, his youngest disciple sent him a telepathic message, saying that he was going to the Western Sect to steal the home of the Two Sages of the West and steal the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit from the Western Sect.

So seeing the two Western Saints in such a panicked state, they naturally understood that their little disciple had succeeded.

What he needs to do now is to hold back the two Western saints and let his little disciple completely steal the merits of the Western religion to become a saint.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Jie Sect immediately began to unleash their fury as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Originally, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was already in grave danger under the full force of the four sages' attacks, and some disciples with weak wills had even begun to consider fleeing or simply surrendering.

This also includes several core disciples such as Chang Er Ding Guangxian.

No one wants to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods and become a slave of the Heavenly Court, and it is obvious that no matter how powerful the Tongtian Sect Leader is, he cannot fight four people at once.

But at this moment, seeing the appearance of the two Western Saints, it was clear that the Tongtian Sect Leader had been right.

If the junior brother succeeds, it will be two against four, and since the two Western Saints have had their fortune stolen, they may not be able to unleash their full power as saints.

Therefore, in their minds, the odds of victory or defeat had shifted from 20/80 to 50/50.

If the odds are even, then naturally you'll have to give it your all.

After all, whether they escape or surrender, they will never be as carefree as they were in the Jie Sect, and will always be inferior to others.

It might even become the mount of those Chan Sect disciples whose cultivation level is lower than its own.

"Stop your arrogance!"

The two Western Saints were relentlessly intercepted by the disciples of the Intercepting Sect, and for a time they were unable to break through. Enraged, they lost all their saintly composure and began to curse loudly.

Now, every night as they go, the twelve golden lotuses diminish a little. They feel that half of the golden lotuses have already disappeared. How can they not be anxious?

However, a saint is still a saint.

Even when the Tongtian Sect Leader was restraining the Supreme Lord Laozi and the Primordial Heavenly Lord, all the disciples of the Jie Sect worked together to utilize the power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

It would also be difficult to truly retain the two saints who were determined to escape the formation.

In the end, the two Western Saints broke away from the myriad immortals and fled to Mount Ling, the stronghold of the Western Sect.

With the two Western Saints gone, all the disciples of the Jie Sect immediately turned their attacks on Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

The pressure on Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly increased significantly, and they began to fall into a disadvantageous position.

Upon seeing this, the Grand Master Xuandu and the others who were originally outside no longer cared about their own safety and entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation together to assist their master in breaking the formation.

The two sides were once again deadlocked.

"You wretched creature, how dare you devour my Golden Lotus!"

When the two Western Saints returned to Mount Ling, they saw that many of the Mount Ling disciples had collapsed, and the aura of the Twelve Golden Lotuses was all concentrated on George, who was sitting cross-legged there. They were so angry that they almost fainted on the spot.

"Since that's the case, then you may join my Western Religion."

Even if the twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit were saved now, it would probably only have a few grades left. But as long as George, who devoured the Golden Lotus, is brought into the Western Religion.

That means the twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit is still in the Western Paradise, and its merit and fortune have not been lost.

There's another expert who can be added.

It just so happens that the other party has not yet fully absorbed the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus and has not yet advanced to the Saint level.

They still have a chance.

The two then revealed their true forms again and unleashed their magical weapons at George.

"I am the only one in heaven and on earth!"

George suddenly opened his eyes, his wisdom blazing brightly, illuminating the ten directions of the world. He took seven steps, each step producing a golden lotus, and pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the earth.

"From this day forward, the Western religion was changed to Buddhism, and I am the first Buddha of Buddhism."

As soon as he finished speaking, the merits and fortune of the Western Religion surged into George's body, and he finally broke through to the realm of a saint.

"Suppression!"

The Twenty-Four Heavenly Kings' Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, Treasure-Dropping Coin, Purple Lightning Hammer, and Heart-Piercing Lock were all unleashed simultaneously.

"Don't even think about it! You're the one who should be suppressed!"

The two Western Saints let out a cold laugh and unleashed their full power.

In their view, even if George became a saint, he was only a beginner in the saintly realm, so how could he possibly be a match for the two of them working together?

As for the powerful artifact in George's possession, their artifacts are equally impressive, and they have even more of them.

The Treasure Dropping Coin can drop any magical treasure, and the Seven Treasures Tree can also refresh all things.

When magical artifacts are roughly the same, the stronger person will naturally unleash the greater power of their artifact.

"how come?"

However, the next second, they were dumbfounded.

Because the Falling Treasure Coin actually knocked all their magical treasures away, including the Seven Treasures Tree that could wipe away anything.

The lightning released by the Purple Lightning Hammer actually made their sacred bodies hard, and the Twenty-Four Heavenly Sea-Stabilizing Pearls pressed them down so hard that they couldn't get up.

This situation only proves one thing: George's cultivation level at this moment has far exceeded the sum of the two of them.
