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

Seeing that Chi You was still holding on, Laozi didn't rush to attack. Instead, he turned and headed towards the array platform.

At this moment, Yunxiao was directing the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, using the Hunyuan Golden Bucket to capture the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. He intended to kill them all within the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation.

Unexpectedly, he saw Laozi riding an ox and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Master, what brings you here?"

"With Fellow Daoist Chi You here, Daoist Zhunti will definitely not be able to break the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation in a short time. This disciple is absolutely confident that I can send the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect to the Investiture of the Gods."

Laozi smiled and nodded, then said, "If you really kill all twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, wouldn't you scare them all away?"

"Don't forget our goal is to get the three sects of Xuanmen to gather the number required for the Investiture of the Gods. So we absolutely cannot let them lose hope."

After listening, Yunxiao nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Laozi, "Then kill one more, kill one more, and I will let them out."

Lao Tzu didn't say anything about this, he just nodded. Then he pointed to the Western Sect disciples in the yellow sand and said, "These useless people are just an eyesore, let's get rid of them all."

After saying this, Laozi headed directly towards Zhunti Daoist and Chiyou. Yunxiao understood Laozi's meaning and immediately summoned the Golden Dragon Scissors in his hand.

The golden dragon scissors transformed into two dragons in mid-air, charging directly towards the statue formed by the Western Sect disciples.

In just a moment, dozens of statues shattered. Dozens of relics also appeared in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

This surprised Yunxiao, who immediately prepared to use the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron to collect the relics of the Western Sect disciples.

However, this would give the Chan Sect disciples, who had just been suppressed, a chance to catch their breath. They might even be able to use this opportunity to escape the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation.

Just then, a three-pointed, double-edged sword appeared out of thin air. Then Yang Jian appeared in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

"Uncle-Master Yunxiao, leave this to Yang Jian. I guarantee that not a single Western Sect disciple will be able to escape the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation."

For safety's sake, Yu Ding Zhenren secretly arranged for Yang Jian, Nezha, and Ao Bing to all be placed within the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, so that they could launch an unexpected attack at a crucial moment.

Even Chi You was invited by Taiyi Zhenren after Yu Ding Zhenren personally went to the Nine Netherworld on Yu Ding Zhenren's advice.

After all, the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation is sufficient to deal with ordinary cultivators. However, if a sage enters the formation, the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation alone might be a bit weak.

Chi You once consulted Tongtian about the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation on Qinglian Island. Therefore, Chi You's relationship with the Taoist disciples can be considered quite harmonious.

Upon learning of Taiyi Zhenren's invitation, he went to inquire with Dijiang. Dijiang naturally did not refuse, and even said that Chiyou was an ancestor of the human race, and it was reasonable for him to participate in the Investiture of the Gods.

Therefore, Chi You appeared in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, and used the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation to raise his cultivation to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.

This is why Tongtian felt comfortable letting Zhunti Daoist enter the formation. With Chiyou present, stopping Zhunti Daoist in a short time was definitely not a problem.

Now that Yang Jian and the others have come in handy, it is enough to show that Master Yu Ding's arrangements are absolutely commendable.

However, this would be a hardship for the Western Buddhist disciples. They could have used the relics to escape back to Mount Sumeru in the West without anyone noticing, and then been reborn in the Eight Treasures Pool of Merit.

But now, Yang Jian shattered the relic with his three-pointed double-edged sword. Only a trace of its true spirit remained, heading towards the Investiture of the Gods Platform.
Meanwhile, Bai Jian on the Conferred God Platform was waving the Soul-Guiding Banner, leading all the true spirits to the platform, but not allowing them to enter immediately. Soon, a Netherworld Gate appeared outside the platform, sucking in several true spirits before disappearing.

Seeing the Gate of the Underworld disappear, Bai Jian then led the other true spirits into the Investiture Platform and had them enter the Investiture List to await their investiture as gods.

Those Western Sect disciples who made it onto the Investiture of the Gods list were secretly rejoicing. They were glad they had the opportunity to be listed and made gods, unlike their fellow disciples who could only be reincarnated in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Little did they know that those who entered the Gates of the Underworld were the ones with the greatest destiny. Unlike them, they were ultimately bound by the Investiture of the Gods.

Meanwhile, within the chaos, Tongtian had already set up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation. He and Yuanshi Tianzun stood before the formation's gate, gazing at the Heavenly Dao Martial Saint before them.

At this moment, Ancestor Hongyun spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Taiyi, you are the strongest among us. I wonder if you can hold off Yuanshi Tianzun?"

"As long as you can hold off Yuanshi Tianzun, the four of us can hold the Four Saints' Meeting to slay the immortals and break the Tongtian Immortal Slaying Formation in one fell swoop."

Although Donghuang Taiyi was unwilling, he had no other choice at this point. After all, if two people were to be separated to stop Yuanshi Tianzun, the three who had entered the formation would truly be in grave danger.

He nodded immediately and then charged directly at Yuanshi Tianzun. At the same time, he raised the Golden Crow Crimson Sun Sword and slashed down at Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi Tianzun was well aware of the other party's ulterior motives. He immediately raised the Pangu Banner to block Donghuang Taiyi's Golden Crow Crimson Sun Sword.

At the same time, Ancestor Hongyun seized the opportunity, and the Four Sages of Heaven headed directly towards the four gates of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation.

To break the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, all four Immortal Slaughtering Swords on the four gates of the formation must be removed at the same time.

As long as one sword is not removed, the other three swords will return to the array gate even if they are removed.

Moreover, the person who draws the sword will be injured by the sword energy. It is even possible that they will be directly killed by the sword energy.

Therefore, even the Four Sages' meeting to slay immortals was extremely dangerous. Without perfect coordination, the Immortal Slaying Formation could not be broken.

The Four Sages were aware of this, and had already made all the necessary arrangements. Each of them could see the situation of the other three gates.

This was done to ensure the four could move in sync and avoid any discrepancies in timing. Otherwise, the Four Saints' attempt to slay the immortals would fail, and they might even suffer a backlash.

In the blink of an eye, the Four Sages of Heaven had arrived before the four great array gates. The Tongtian Sect Master had also wielded the Four Swords of Zhuxian, emitting rays of golden light as he slashed towards the Four Sages of Heaven.

The Four Sages of Heaven each unleashed their magical treasures to block the sword light. Then, they exerted all their strength to approach the Four Swords of Immortal Execution.

Although the Four Sages of Heaven were already in a sorry state when they reached the Four Swords of Zhuxian, they had ultimately achieved their goal.

Now, by simply removing the four swords of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation at the same time, the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, which was said to be unbreakable by anyone other than the Four Saints, was completely shattered.

At that moment, Yuanshi Tianzun revealed a cold smile. He then shouted, "One Qi transforms into the Three Pure Ones!" (End of Chapter)
