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

Fuxi stood on the Primordial Eight Trigrams diagram, surrounded by the illusory images of the Hetu and Luoshu. He formed hand seals, and an eight-trigram barrier spanning heaven and earth instantly took shape, blocking all the overwhelming evil energy of the Beast Emperor Shenni.

Fuxi rebuked him sternly, the sacred flame of humanity appearing between his brows, "Back then, you wreaked havoc in the primordial world and were suppressed in the depths of chaos. Now you dare to defy the oath of Heaven and reappear in the world?"

A strange light flashed in the Beast King Shenni's single eye, and suddenly he opened his blood-red maw and lunged at Fuxi.

At the same time, Chen Xuan's voice rang in Fuxi's ears, informing him of his entire plan.

Then, Fuxi and the Beast Emperor Shenni engaged in a fierce battle in mid-air. However, Fuxi was slowly losing ground and was about to be devoured by the Beast Emperor Shenni.

Just then, the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa arrived simultaneously. They stood in front of Fuxi and raised their magical weapons towards the Beast Emperor Shenni.

At the same time, Chen Xuan's voice also rang in the ears of the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa. This made them realize that they were not facing the true Beast Emperor Shenni, but their master, Chen Xuan.

At the same time, knowing what he should do, he went all out and launched an attack on Chen Xuan, who had transformed into the Beast Emperor Shen Ni.

After all, these individuals knew perfectly well that even if they went all out, they couldn't possibly harm Chen Xuan in the slightest. Therefore, there was naturally no need for them to hold back and give others a chance to see through their disguise.

At first, the Beast Emperor Shen Ni felt somewhat suppressed, but as time went on, even the five saints of Qinglian Island, working together, could only manage a draw with the Beast Emperor Shen Ni.

This inevitably led Hongjun to finally completely abandon his guard. He was only waiting for Chen Xuan to make a move when he unleashed destruction and calamity upon Chen Xuan.

Then he could have the sages of the Xuanmen sect intervene and end this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods in one fell swoop, completely extinguishing any possibility of the awakening of the human realm.

Of course, Hongjun wasn't entirely without worries. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to hide in the background, but would have directly sought revenge on Chen Xuan.

What worries Hongjun is the Earthly Sages, who are led by Houtu. Although Hongjun has issued a decree that the Earthly Path must not interfere with the Investiture of the Gods calamity.

Moreover, even the Underworld has agreed, since the Investiture of the Gods is ultimately a matter between the Way of Man and the Way of Heaven. There is indeed no need for the Underworld to participate in it.

But don't forget that Houtu, the Earthly Saint, is Chen Xuan's disciple. She would never stand idly by while her fellow disciples are slaughtered.

If all the powerful cultivators were to emerge from the ranks, even his six useless disciples wouldn't be able to hold them off. In that case, only his personal intervention could eliminate this hidden threat.

Now everything is going as Hongjun predicted, and he has almost completely grasped the situation. However, what Hongjun can't understand is that Chen Xuan has yet to show up.

Most critically, Daoist Duobao had already led his second and third generation Daoist disciples, along with the disciples of the Human Sect led by Shennong and the Yellow Emperor, to attack Xiqi.

Normally, the conquest of cities and territories was carried out by the Shang army led by Wen Zhong. However, as soon as any Xuanmen cultivators made a move in Xiqi, they would immediately be attacked by Daoist disciples.

In just a short time, several disciples of the Xuanmen sect were listed on the Investiture of the Gods. Meanwhile, the walls of Xiqi City were already in imminent danger of being captured by the Shang army at any moment.

If Xiqi City falls, Ji Fa and the civil and military officials of Western Zhou will likely become prisoners in a trap.

At that time, the Shang Dynasty was equivalent to destroying the Western Zhou Dynasty. If the disciples of the Xuanmen Sect wanted to complete the Investiture of the Gods, they would have to find a new object of support.

Therefore, Hongjun was extremely anxious at this moment. He was watching the battle between the Beast Emperor Shenni and the Five Saints of Qinglian Island while also keeping an eye on Chen Xuan's movements. Meanwhile, the Three Pure Ones had already used the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, conjuring up nine more half-step saints who began to flank and attack the Beast Emperor Shenni.

While this cannot truly defeat the Beast Emperor Shenni, it can buy time, preventing him from winning in the short term.

In the end, Hongjun could no longer wait, otherwise the Xiqi he had supported would be destroyed. Helpless, he could only use a secret method to notify the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao, instructing them to defend Xiqi City.

Soon, the Six Sages of Heaven appeared on the city walls of Xiqi. With their powerful sage aura, they stabilized the entire battle situation.

The disciples of the Xuanmen sect have even begun to launch a counterattack. After all, with six saints as their backers, they have no worries at all.

This relieved Hongjun's anxiety, and he muttered to himself, "Let's see how long you can endure this. If you don't make a move soon, your disciples and descendants will be wiped out."

But in the next moment, a strange change occurred on the battlefield. Twelve large banners fell from mid-air.

In just a short while, a grand formation had been set up. It was the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation that Chi You had set up when he fought against Xuanyuan in the Battle of Zhuolu.

This Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, while unable to summon the true form of Pangu, can summon the Twelve Ancestral Witches. As for whether they are the real Pangu or mere phantoms, that's hard to say.

Upon seeing the Twelve Capitals Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation suddenly appear, the disciples of the Chan Sect immediately retreated, as they were all too familiar with the power of this formation.

After all, they suffered a lot during their struggle for power back then. They all remember it vividly now.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi coldly snorted and said, "Chi You, you are one of the five Ghost Emperors of the Nine Netherworld, why do you interfere in the affairs of the human race?"

"Have you forgotten that Heaven and Earth have reached an agreement? Those who encounter this agreement are not allowed to participate in the Investiture of the Gods. Do you intend to defy the mandate of Heaven?"

Within the great formation, Chi You's voice rang out, "Zhen Yuanzi, it seems your memory isn't very good. Although I, Chi You, am one of the five Ghost Emperors of the Nine Netherworld, I, Chi You, am also the Ancestor of Human Soldiers."

"Now I am here as the ancestor of human warriors to help Shennong and the Yellow Emperor to eliminate the scum of the human race, Ji Fa of Xiqi."

When Chi You uttered these words, even Zhen Yuanzi was speechless for a moment. After all, the fact that Chi You was the ancestor of human warriors was not something Chi You himself had said.

In the human race's temple today, there is a statue of Chi You, the human race's ancestor of warfare. It is perfectly reasonable for him to participate in the human race's wars as the ancestor of warfare.

At the same time, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation was also completely completed. The twelve illusory figures of the Ancestral Witches had already condensed above the formation and began to attack the Xuanmen disciples.

Moreover, this Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation is different from the one used during the Battle of Zhuolu. This is because the current Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation is movable.

As Chi You commanded the twelve ancestral witch banners to move forward continuously, the attack range of the twelve ancestral witch phantoms also began to change constantly.

Left with no other option, Zhen Yuanzi suggested that a sage should intervene and first break the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation. (End of Chapter)
