I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

Yuan Daoren's face was gloomy, and he said coldly, "Qingpingzi, although your Zhuxian Sword is sharp, you are just an avatar. How can you contend with me? Laojun, Bodhi, why don't we join forces to deal with this Qingpingzi first, and then compete for the treasure?"

Laozi and Bodhi Patriarch exchanged a glance, both of them showing apprehension.

The reputation of the Immortal Execution Sword is known throughout the Three Realms. Even if it is only used by an avatar of the Tongtian Sect Master, it is enough to make them wary.

Just then, a secret voice suddenly came to Bodhi Patriarch's ear. It was the Sage Zhunti: "Bodhi, Jiang Wang has arrived at the Five Elements Mountain. He has refined the heart of Chaos Mountain and can use it at will."

Instead of fighting over the treasure now, we should eliminate Jiang Wang first, and then determine who gets it.

A glint flashed in Bodhi Patriarch's eyes, and he said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, I have something to say."

This Chaotic Mountain Heart has already been refined by Jiang Wang. If we don't eliminate him, what use is it for us to fight over it? Why don't we join forces to kill Jiang Wang first, and then decide who gets the treasure? What do you say?

Upon hearing this, Laozi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Wang? That junior is just a rogue cultivator. How could he refine the Chaos Mountain Heart? Bodhi, do you have any evidence to support your claim?"

Bodhi Patriarch smiled calmly: "Why should Lao Jun be so suspicious? Sage Zhunti told me personally that Jiang Wang has arrived at the Five Elements Mountain, and the Chaos Mountain Heart is in his hands."

If we don't join forces, I fear he will reap the benefits.

Yuan Daoren snorted coldly: "Jiang Wang? He's nothing but an ant! If he really refines the Chaos Mountain Heart, then just kill him."

"Qingpingzi, what do you think?"

Qingpingzi narrowed her eyes slightly, and the Zhuxian Sword in her hand trembled slightly, as if she was thinking.

He said coldly, "Jiang Wang... if it's really as you say, then killing him is fine."

However, Bodhi, your relationship with Cundi is quite close; who knows if you have ulterior motives?

Bodhi Patriarch laughed heartily: "Qingpingzi, you're overthinking it."

If Jiang Wang dies, the Heart of Chaos Mountain will naturally appear in the world, and it will not be too late for us to fight then.

Laozi, Yuan Daoren, what do you think?

After a moment of silence, Laozi slowly said, "If Jiang Wangzhen has truly refined the Chaos Mountain Heart, it is indeed a hidden danger."

This humble Taoist agrees: let us eliminate Jiang Wang first, then contend for the treasure.

Yuan Daoren nodded: "Good! Qingpingzi, if you do not comply, don't blame us for joining forces to kill this clone of yours first!"

A cold glint flashed in Qingpingzi's eyes, and she said in a deep voice, "Fine, if Jiang Wang is really at Five Elements Mountain, then kill him."

But if there is even the slightest falsehood, don't blame me for turning against you!

Jiang Wang had already arrived outside the Five Elements Mountain and concealed his presence, but he overheard the conversation between Patriarch Bodhi and others.

His heart sank, and he thought to himself, "Zhunti... what a Zhunti! He actually leaked my information about refining the Chaos Mountain Heart! These old monsters are indeed all cunning and ruthless."

His gaze swept over the Five Elements Mountain, where Sun Wukong was still trapped under the mountain, his breath weak.

Jiang Wang took a deep breath and whispered, "Wukong, wait a moment, I'll deal with these old monsters first, then I'll come and save you!"

He flashed forward and revealed himself, proclaiming loudly, "Fellow Daoists, now that you know I, Jiang Wang, am here, why hide yourselves? If you want to kill me, then come at me!"

Laozi, Yuan Daoren, Qingpingzi, and Bodhi Patriarch all turned their heads at the same time, their eyes fixed on Jiang Wang, their killing intent fully revealed.

Above the sky, the wind howled and spiritual light cascaded down like a waterfall.

Jiang Wang stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering in the wind, his gaze sharp as he scanned the three figures opposite him.

Yuan Daoren, Bodhi, and Zhunti, three eminent disciples of the sage, each possessed a vast aura, resembling three insurmountable immortal mountains.

However, Jiang Wang's lips curled up slightly, a smile that was not quite a smile, but his eyes revealed a coldness.

"Jiang Wang, a mere rogue cultivator, dares to be so arrogant in front of us?"

Yuan Daoren's white beard fluttered, and his voice boomed like thunder, carrying an undeniable authority: "With a single finger, this old Daoist can suppress you!"

Upon hearing this, the spiritual energy in the world suddenly stagnated, as if it were being crushed by Yuan Daoren's aura and trembling in fear.

The immortals and gods watching from afar held their breath, secretly marveling at the domineering power of the Chan Sect's great leader.

Bodhi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Daoist Yuan, do not underestimate your enemy."

This young man possesses many skills, and his shimmering array is no ordinary item. To act rashly could lead to disastrous consequences.

"Hmph, Bodhi, you are being far too cautious!"

Yuan Daoren scoffed disdainfully, "How can a mere acquired formation possibly withstand the supreme treasure of my Chan Sect? Fellow Daoist Zhunti, what do you think?"

Zhunti sat cross-legged in the void, holding a golden mirror that shimmered in his hand. He smiled, but a sly glint flashed in his eyes.

He transmitted his voice, saying, "Taoist Yuan, what Bodhi said is not without reason."

"Jiang Wang is cunning. We should use the Array-Breaking Mirror to dismantle his shimmering array, then launch a swift and decisive attack. We'll surely capture him in one fell swoop!"

Upon hearing this, Bodhi nodded slightly, but was secretly alarmed.

Zhunti may seem kind, but he is actually very cunning and has revealed his true intentions behind the scenes at this moment.

Although Yuan Daoren was displeased, he did not say much, only snorted coldly and fixed his gaze on Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang seemed to sense something, and his smile deepened.

He slowly raised his hand, and in his palm, a wisp of spatial power rippled like water, subtly distorting the surrounding light and shadow.

"A magic mirror for breaking formations? What a boastful tone."

His voice was cold and tinged with mockery, "Since that's the case, I'll show you what the true Dao of Space is!"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Wang clenched his fist, and the void suddenly shattered! Dark cracks spread like a spider web, instantly enveloping the array-breaking mirror in Zhunti's hand.

The precious mirror shone brightly, seemingly trying to resist, but under the crushing force of the spatial rift, it let out a clear, mournful cry and shattered with a deafening crash! "Pfft!"

Bodhi was caught off guard when his left arm was caught in a spatial rift, blood spurted out, and his entire arm instantly turned to dust.

He groaned and retreated rapidly, his eyes filled with horror.

The entire arena fell silent! Yuan Daoren's pupils contracted, Zhunti's smile froze on his face, and the immortals and gods watching from afar were even more dumbfounded.

Jiang Wang's move, "shattering space,"
Not only did it destroy the Array-Breaking Mirror, but it also severely injured Bodhi with lightning speed, demonstrating its terrifying mastery of the laws of space! "Good! What a magnificent spatial divine power!"

Bodhi gritted his teeth, suppressing his injuries, but a hint of apprehension appeared in his eyes. "Jiang Wang, you truly live up to your reputation!"

Jiang Wang smiled calmly, stood with his hands behind his back, but his aura became even more fierce: "What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Bring them on."

Second, the falling treasure and the coin reversed the battle situation. Yuan Daoren was furious, and his hair and beard stood on end.

He let out a long roar, and a jade ruyi with three flowing colors appeared in his hand, its spiritual light shining brightly and its power overwhelming all directions.

"Jiang Wang, receive my Three Treasures Jade Ruyi!"

This treasure is the sacred artifact of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, which once crippled the magical power of the Fairy Qiongxiao with a single strike. It is said that a single hit is enough to destroy, and its reputation is formidable.

The jade ruyi transformed into a three-colored divine light, heading straight for Jiang Wang's face with unbelievable speed, seemingly intent on killing him instantly! The watching immortals and gods were all shocked, secretly thinking that Jiang Wang was in grave danger.

However, Jiang Wang neither dodged nor avoided, nor even activated the shimmering array. He simply raised his hand, and a gleaming golden copper coin flew out from his palm to meet the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

"The Treasure-Dropping Coin?"

Yuan Daoren was taken aback, then sneered, "Such a petty trick dares to compete with the supreme treasure of my Chan Sect?" Before he finished speaking, the golden coin shone brightly, transforming into a golden vortex that firmly sucked the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in! The jade ruyi struggled violently, its three-colored spiritual light flashing wildly, but ultimately it could not break free and was swallowed up by the golden coin in the blink of an eye, disappearing without a trace! "What?!"

Yuan Daoren was struck dumb, his face turning deathly pale instantly.

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi was a precious treasure of the Chan Sect, yet it was taken away by Jiang Wang with a single Falling Treasure Coin! He was shocked and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

In the distance, seeing the situation was not good, Laozi waved his sleeve, and the Qiankun Diagram transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the void in the blink of an eye.

After losing the treasure, Yuan Daoren was thrown into a state of mental confusion and, disregarding his reputation, transformed into a rainbow and fled.

Bodhi's eyes widened in horror, and the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand shimmered with light, as if he were about to make a move. However, Zhunti stopped him with a sharp shout: "No! The Treasure-Falling Coin can capture all magical treasures below the level of the Innate Supreme Treasure. If you use your Seven Treasures Tree, it will surely be taken away!"

Bodhi paused, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, but he had no choice but to stop.

With the shimmering array still intact and Jiang Wang possessing the Treasure-Dropping Coin, a direct attack offered no chance of victory.

Zhunti snorted coldly, then turned into light and disappeared with Bodhi, leaving behind only a meaningful gaze.

In the arena, only one figure in a green robe appeared leisurely.

He wore a Taoist crown and held a blue longsword. His aura was ethereal, as if he were one with heaven and earth.

Jiang Wang's gaze sharpened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Qingpingzi?"

III. Qingpingzi's Mysterious Appearance Qingpingzi smiled slightly and cupped her hands, saying, "Fellow Daoist Jiang Wang, I have long admired your name."

"I am Qingpingzi, an incarnation of the Tongtian Sect Leader. Today, I am not here to seize treasures, but only to meet you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wang was startled.

The Three Corpses of the Tongtian Sect Master? This person's identity is extraordinary! His gaze fell on the long sword in Qingpingzi's hand, and he faintly sensed a sharp killing intent.

That was the Immortal Execution Sword, not a primordial treasure, but a deadly weapon personally forged by the Tongtian Sect Master, which even the Falling Treasure Coin could not control.

Qingpingzi seemed to see through Jiang Wang's thoughts and said with a faint smile, "Fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry."

I have come here only to test you out.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is seven parts superior to any supreme treasure. If Fellow Daoist Jiang Wang is interested, why not meet at Golden Turtle Island in the East Sea?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wang's heart stirred slightly.

Qingpingzi's words seemed to hint at the stance of the Jie Sect, and also contained a deeper meaning.

His cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is a top secret. If the Tongtian Sect Master finds out, there will likely be endless troubles.

However, Qingpingzi did not reveal the truth. She simply smiled meaningfully, turned around, and transformed into a streak of green light, disappearing into the horizon.

Jiang Wang frowned, vaguely feeling an invisible pressure.

Why is the Tongtian Sect Leader paying attention to me? Has the secret of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique been discovered by the Jie Sect? What mystery lies hidden in the agreement at Jin'ao Island in the East Sea? IV. Before I could think about the predicament of the Zhou Tian Star Array, a strange change suddenly occurred in the world.

Starlight filled the sky, like a cascading Milky Way, and 108,000 immortal figures emerged from the void, each holding a star banner, their auras stretching endlessly.

Jiang Wang's gaze sharpened, and he shouted in a low voice, "The Zhou Tian Star Array?"

This formation is the Heavenly Court's ultimate killing move. The 365 main star banners correspond to the constellations in the sky, and the 108,000 secondary banners are linked with the power of the stars. It integrates offense and defense and can be called a saint-level formation.

Jiang Wang, caught in the formation, suddenly felt an invisible force locking onto him. Neither teleporting nor creating a clone could break free; he was like being stuck with a piece of chewing gum.

A treacherous swamp.

"boom!"

The starlight fell like rain, transforming into countless shooting stars.

Jiang Wang immediately activated the shimmering light array. The array light flowed, resembling a glass shield, blocking out all the starlight.

He secretly exclaimed in admiration, "What a magnificent Zhou Tian Star Array! It truly lives up to its Saint-level reputation!"

However, Jiang Wang soon discovered that the person who set up the formation was not strong enough, with only a dozen or so Great Luo Golden Immortals in charge, and the rest were mostly Golden Immortals and Taiyi Immortals.

He sneered, and the power of space in his palm rose again, transforming into a black storm that swept towards a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

However, the starlight barrier appeared automatically, completely neutralizing the spatial storm! "No weaknesses?"

Jiang Wang frowned slightly. He tried to teleport several times, but was locked by the star power and could not escape.

His mind raced, and although the faint light array could withstand the falling stars, it was still difficult to break the deadlock.

This formation combines offense and defense, making it truly formidable! V. Core Conflict and Foreshadowing Jiang Wang's gaze swept across the surroundings with lightning speed.

The Falling Treasure Coin restrains the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, intimidates the Seven Treasures Tree, and the Radiant Array is invincible, demonstrating its wisdom and martial prowess.

However, the appearance of Qingpingzi, the attention of the Tongtian Sect Leader, and the predicament of the Zhou Tian Star Array all cast a shadow over his heart.

The Yuanshi and Laozi camps were defeated due to the magic weapon being countered, the Jie Sect used Qingpingzi to test the waters, and the Heavenly Court used a large formation to besiege them. Various forces engaged in open and covert struggles over the strange object in Jiang Wang's hands.

The agreement on Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea, the secret of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, and the method to break the stalemate of the Zhou Tian Star Array are all shrouded in mystery, waiting to be unveiled.

Jiang Wang took a deep breath, his fighting spirit intensifying.

He stood with his hands behind his back and said loudly, "The Zhou Tian Star Array is indeed extraordinary! But I, Jiang Wang, am not one to surrender easily! Come, let me see what other tricks the Heavenly Court has up its sleeve!"

Jiang Wang's figure flashed through the void, his teleportation technique displayed to its fullest extent, and the laws of space flowed smoothly in his hands like water.

However, in the instant he teleported, a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.

The Zhou Tian Star Array followed him closely, its starlight dazzling and boundless, as if the heavens were enveloping him within it.

Although he left his clone in place to try to restrain the great formation, it was still trapped in the endless starlight and could not move.

He looked down at his palm; the light of the luminous array had dimmed, and fine cracks were faintly visible on the array plate.

This shimmering array he painstakingly set up can only last for another twenty years at most.

On the other hand, the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, relying on the endless power of the stars, is almost inexhaustible.

Twenty years later, if there is no way to break the deadlock, he will be completely trapped in a desperate situation, and it will only be a matter of time before his soul is scattered.

Jiang Wang took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes.

He was not one to sit idly by and wait for death. Since the Zhou Tian Star Array was so troublesome, he would try a different approach—to divert the trouble eastward! With a thought, he decisively dispelled his clone, and his spiritual power surged like a river, causing the laws of space to operate once again.

In an instant, he traversed millions of miles and appeared before the South Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Realm.

The magnificent South Heavenly Gate soars into the clouds, shimmering with golden light and surrounded by celestial aura. Heavenly soldiers and generals stand in formation before the gate, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.

However, Jiang Wang's gaze was as cold as ice, completely unmoved.

Behind him, the Zhou Tian Star Array, like an invisible giant net, followed closely, its starlight pouring down and instantly enveloping the South Heavenly Gate.

Before the heavenly soldiers and generals in front of the gate could react, they were swallowed up by the vast starlight and turned into dust, without even having a chance to scream.

The auspicious clouds and mythical beasts carved on the South Heavenly Gate also crumbled inch by inch under the impact of starlight, turning into countless fragments.

Jiang Wang snorted coldly, then flashed away again, heading straight for the Tongming Hall. (End of Chapter)
