Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 323 Reinforcements from Qinglian Island Arrive

Taiyi Zhenren's whisk transformed into ten thousand silver threads, cascading like the Milky Way towards Yaoshi Daoren.

The Medicine Master remained calm and composed. With a gentle brush of the Seven Treasures Tree, the countless silver threads in the sky broke apart as if melting snow.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, why be so persistent? This child is destined for a Western Paradise, so why are you so fixated on it?"

No sooner had the Medicine Master finished speaking than a streak of azure light shot through the air, heading straight for the Medicine Master's face.

The Medicine Master hurriedly dodged, only to see the azure light turn in the air and transform into a sharp, green sword, hovering in mid-air.

"What a Western religion! How dare they come to the East to snatch people! And they're even snatching my Taoist disciples."

With a clear shout, a female immortal dressed in a blue Taoist robe appeared, riding on clouds. Her features were exquisite, and she held a sharp, green sword in her hand; she was none other than the Taoist disciple, the Holy Mother of Wudang.

Taiyi Zhenren was overjoyed upon seeing this: "Junior Sister Wudang, you've come at just the right time! This Western Taoist is trying to forcibly abduct my disciple!"

Seeing the newcomer's extraordinary aura, the Medicine Master frowned slightly: "Fellow Daoist..."

The Holy Mother of Wudang didn't give him a chance to speak at all. With a wave of her hand, the suspended Qingfeng Sword instantly split into thousands of pieces, forming a sword array that surrounded the Medicine Master.

"Today I'll show you Westerners that the East is not a place where you can run wild!"

Within the sword formation, the Holy Mother of Wudang formed a sword incantation with her hands, and thousands of sword energies poured down like a torrential rain.

The Medicine Master hurriedly summoned the Seven Treasures Tree to defend himself, but the sword energy was too dense, and in the blink of an eye, his Taoist robe was torn in several places.

Just then, a brilliant golden light suddenly shone in the sky, and the Guiding Banner appeared out of thin air, protecting the Medicine Master within it.

"Why are you angry, Fellow Daoist Wudang? My junior brother is just eager to nurture talent."

As the voices were spoken, a figure appeared in mid-air, holding a welcoming banner. It was none other than Maitreya, the chief disciple of the Western Sect.

The Holy Mother of Wudang snorted and said, "Even you, the Maitreya Taoist, have come. It seems that you in the West have been planning this all along."

Maitreya Daoist smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Wudang, you misunderstand. This child is indeed destined for our Western Paradise. My junior brother and I have come to guide him into our Western Paradise."

The Western Sect was naturally aware that the Chan Sect had lost disciples to the Daoist sects several times. Therefore, they made thorough preparations.

Not only did they bring Maitreya Daoist and Medicine Master Daoist to Chentang Pass, but they also brought the Seven Treasures Tree and the Guiding Banner.

At this moment, the Maitreya Taoist took out a golden relic and waved it directly at Nezha.

"Are you willing to join my Western Religion? If you agree, this Great Golden Immortal Relic will be given to you, saving you a thousand years of arduous cultivation."

Nezha was now being held in Yin Shiniang's arms, curiously observing the people confronting each other in the air.

Taiyi Zhenren was very anxious and hurriedly said to Nezha, "Nezha, I have plenty of treasures. Whatever you want, I can give you."

Nezha was, after all, just a mischievous three-year-old child, and his temperament was naturally unstable. Therefore, Master Taiyi was genuinely worried that Nezha would succumb to temptation.

Just as Taiyi Zhenren finished speaking, a deafening dragon roar came from the direction of the East Sea.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a golden dragon, hundreds of feet long, bursting forth from the waves. Standing on the dragon's head was a person, none other than the Queen Mother of the West, who had not appeared in the world for a long time.

The giant dragon beneath the feet of the Queen Mother of the West was no ordinary dragon. It was Ao Ping, a disciple of Chen Xuan.

"The Western Sect has quite the audacity, daring to compete with my Azure Lotus Island for disciples and followers?" the Queen Mother of the West sneered. The Queen Mother's appearance caused the atmosphere in Chen Tang Pass to freeze instantly. After all, the Queen Mother was a guest of the Purple Cloud Palace and was once the head of all female immortals in the primordial world.

Not to mention Maitreya and Bhaisajyaguru, even if the two Western Buddhas came, they would have to give the Queen Mother of the West some face.

Maitreya Daoist, forcing himself to remain calm, said, "Senior Queen Mother of the West, please don't misunderstand. It's just that this child has an affinity with our Western Sect, so..."

Before Maitreya could finish speaking, the Queen Mother of the West snorted coldly and said, "Don't try to fool me with your master's nonsense."

"If I don't teach you a lesson today, your Western Sect will really think that there's no one on my Green Lotus Island and that you can do whatever you want with me."

After saying this, the Queen Mother of the West flipped her jade hand, and a crystal-clear jade seal appeared in her palm. It was the Kunlun Seal, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Maitreya Taoist was greatly alarmed upon seeing this: "Your Majesty, please wait! This was an offense we committed, and we are willing to apologize!"

The Queen Mother of the West remained unmoved. The Kunlun Seal flew out of her hand and grew rapidly in the wind, instantly transforming into a hundred feet in size, pressing down on the two with the power to suppress heaven and earth.

Maitreya Daoist hurriedly raised the Reception Banner, covering himself and his fellow disciple within it.

The Medicine Master was even more naive, sweeping the Seven Treasures Tree outwards in an attempt to take away the Queen Mother of the West's Kunlun Seal.

Unfortunately, the Medicine Master was not the same as the Cundi Master. Even with the Seven Treasures Tree, he could not take away the Queen Mother of the West's magical treasures.

So the result was that the Kunlun Seal was not taken away by the Seven Treasures Tree. In fact, it directly knocked the Seven Treasures Tree from the Medicine Master's hands.

Upon seeing the Seven Treasures Tree fall, Taiyi Zhenren hurriedly said to Xi Wangmu, "Uncle-Master, my Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover has been taken away by this Seven Treasures Tree."

Upon hearing that the Medicine Master had taken away the magic weapon of the True Man Taiyi, the Queen Mother of the West's face instantly turned extremely gloomy, and she immediately snorted coldly.

"Today, out of respect for the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, I will spare your lives. Now return the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and go back to your Western Paradise."

Maitreya Daoist and Medicine Master Daoist looked ashen-faced, knowing they would not gain any advantage today. They immediately recalled the Seven Treasures Tree and returned the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover to Taiyi Zhenren.

Then, without looking back, they headed west towards Mount Sumeru, fearing that if they were too slow, the Queen Mother of the West would attack them again.

Seeing that his Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover had been recovered, Master Taiyi breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Thank you for your help, Uncle-Master. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to protect my disciple today. I might even have lost the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover."

With a smile, the Queen Mother of the West said, "Your master and the others had already foreseen that the three sects of Xuanmen would not easily give up on Nezha."

"But now that the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods has just begun, it is inconvenient for the Sages to take action. So they can only send me to Chentang Pass on their behalf."

"Now that things here have been resolved, I'm going back to Qinglian Island to take care of my teacher's herb garden."

After speaking, the Queen Mother of the West used her magic to return to Qinglian Island. However, Ao Ping did not leave with the Queen Mother of the West, but stayed in Chentang Pass.

He then stated directly, "Nezha is the reincarnation of the Fire Spirit Orb in the hands of my senior sister Nuwa. And my grandson is the reincarnation of the Water Spirit Orb in the hands of my senior sister Nuwa."

"These two are destined to be entangled in life and death. If we cannot help them resolve this, they will inevitably end up in a life-or-death struggle."

"I have come here today to resolve this matter. Please wait a moment while I summon Ao Bing to Chen Tang Pass."
