Chapter 159 Ashura Religion (Subscribe)
As soon as he returned to the prehistoric world, Li Xuanyang felt endless murderous intent coming towards him from afar. Countless sword energies collided with the golden divine light, causing the prehistoric space of billions of miles to shatter.

"The Zhuxian Sword Formation!" Li Xuanyang focused his eyes and looked into the distant void. He saw bursts of red light, the Four Zhuxian Swords and the Zhuxian Formation diagram hanging high, forming a formation.

It is neither copper, nor iron, nor steel, but once hidden beneath Mount Sumeru. Even without the reversal of yin and yang, it must be tempered by water and fire. "Punch the Immortals" is sharp, "Slaughter the Immortals" is deadly, and "Entrap the Immortals" emits a red glow everywhere; "Exterminate the Immortals" possesses infinite transformations, staining its garments with the blood of the Great Luo Immortals. The Sword Formation of the Immortal-Punching is said to be unbreakable except by the Four Sages.

"Accept!"

"Since you dare to come and stop me, then do you dare to enter the formation and take a look!" Taoist Shangqing sneered at Taoist Jieyin, then turned around and walked into the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

Seeing the Zhuxian Sword Formation in front of him, the Jie Yin Taoist sighed softly and ignored the Shangqing Taoist. Instead, he showed his primordial spirit relic and sat cross-legged on the innate twelve-grade golden lotus of merit. Above his head, the Jie Yin treasure banner hung high, emitting countless golden lights of merit.

The sword energy and the golden light of merit collided with each other, the spiritual treasures intersected, divine power overflowed in the void, murderous intent soared to the sky, and they were in a faint confrontation.

"Since fellow Taoist is unwilling to enter the formation, then I have no choice but to invite you to enter the formation myself." Before the Taoist Shangqing could finish his words, a gray light suddenly descended from the void and arrived outside the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

"Thank you very much, fellow Taoist!" Li Xuanyang glanced at the Jie Yin Taoist, turned around and smiled, bowing to express his gratitude to the Shang Qing Taoist in the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.

"Oh?" Seeing Li Xuanyang outside the formation, Taoist Shangqing's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but look him up and down. He felt the murderous intent and residual evil spirit, and it was obvious that he had fought with Taoist Zhunti.

Although Li Xuanyang looked somewhat disheveled, he was not seriously injured.

"It seems that even if I had not come here, fellow Taoist could have escaped safely." When he said this, Taoist Shangqing couldn't help but reveal a hint of doubt in his eyes, and he was very puzzled.

"Haha!" Li Xuanyang chuckled, and without explaining to the Shangqing Taoist, he looked at the Jieyin Taoist and said calmly, "Daoyou, fellow Daoist, are not cultivating in seclusion on the Eight Treasures Spiritual Mountain, but are coming here instead. Could it be that you are also planning to convert me to the Western Sect?"

When the Taoist Jie Yin heard this, his expression changed slightly. He clasped his hands together but said nothing.

"Li Xuanyang!"

At this time, an angry roar came from the void, and the pale-faced Zhunti Taoist, with murderous intent all over his body, rushed towards Li Xuanyang.

"Zhunti, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of me!" Anger flashed across the face of Shangqing Taoist, and he activated the Zhuxian Sword Formation. The formation was filled with murderous intent, and was dangerous everywhere. There were dark clouds, cold light, and unpredictable changes.

The next moment, the four Zhuxian swords hanging above the door moved together, and the four innate sword energies converged and turned into a chaotic sword energy, hitting the Zhunti Taoist.

"Fellow Daoist, please show mercy!" When Taoist Jie Yin saw Taoist Shang Qing activating the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, he was shocked and quickly summoned the innate twelve-grade golden lotus of merit under his seat, which turned into a golden divine light and blocked the chaotic sword energy.

Seeing that his senior brother Taoist Jie Yin had not set foot in the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, and only used the innate twelve-grade golden lotus of merit to block the chaotic sword energy of Taoist Shang Qing, Taoist Zhunti could not help but feel relieved.

What he never expected was that a golden divine light suddenly appeared above the three flowers of Li Xuanyang's soul and fell towards him.

Not to mention that the Taoist Master Zhunti did not expect this, even the Taoist Master Lianyin and the Taoist Master Shangqing were not expecting this.

With a loud bang, the golden divine light transformed from the Kongtong Seal fell heavily on the body of the Taoist Zhunti, shattering the void of billions of miles, sending countless space fragments flying and chaotic energy and earth, wind, water and fire gushing out.

The Taoist Zhunti was hit hard by the sudden Kongtong Seal. He spat out a mouthful of golden blood and his whole body fell towards the ancient earth.

"Junior brother!" The face of the Taoist Jie Yin was slightly angry, and a golden divine light flashed around his body, and he chased towards the prehistoric land.

"What a magical treasure! It's worthy of being the thing that suppresses the destiny of the human race." Taoist Shangqing praised the Kongtong Seal and looked up at the three flowers of Li Xuanyang's soul.

Just then, he saw three innate twelve-grade lotus flowers appearing, which seemed to be combined with the three primordial spirit flowers. The divine light laws contained in each of them converged, and faintly derived strands of the Hunyuan Dao, which made his face change.

"Good, evil, and self-death are the three corpses!" said the Shangqing Taoist in a deep voice, looking at Li Xuanyang with a complicated gaze. "Daoyou not only entrusts the three corpses of good, evil, and self with three innate twelve-grade lotus flowers, but also seems to have broken through to the Three Corpses Quasi-Sage realm, and has touched upon the Dao of Hunyuan."

Three innate twelve-grade lotus flowers, each of which is a top-grade innate defensive spiritual treasure, can suppress luck.

Although it is not as good as the innate treasure, it is far superior to other innate spiritual treasures.

What's more, there is the realm of the Three Corpses Quasi-Sage.

At this time, Taoist Shangqing finally understood why Li Xuanyang was able to return safely, leaving Taoist Zhunti, a saint, helpless and as if he had suffered a great loss.

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist, on your promising achievement of the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian." The tone of the Taoist Shangqing was quite complicated. Although he was a saint, he only achieved sainthood at the level of the Second Corpse Quasi-Saint, and did not rely on himself to cut off his own obsession.

"Fellow Daoist, you're joking." Li Xuanyang waved his hand, summoning the Kongtong Seal into his hand and retracting the Three Flowers of the Primordial Spirit. "I've only made a slight breakthrough in my cultivation. I don't know when I'll be able to break through to the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian."

"I'm not joking." The Taoist Shangqing shook his head. He was about to have a conversation with Li Xuanyang when he suddenly frowned and glanced towards the vast land. "Since the matter here is settled, it's best for you and me to leave first."

After hearing what the Shangqing Taoist said, Li Xuanyang nodded in agreement. Not to mention the soul relics in the Zhentian Coffin, he found it difficult to explain just the twenty-four Chaos Heavens and the Creation Artifact, as well as the fact that the Zhunti Taoist suspected that he possessed the Chaos Treasure.

Even, it is impossible to explain.

It cannot be said that the artifact of creation is not the Chaos Treasure. The Chaos Pearl among the Twenty-Four Chaos Heavens is the real Chaos Treasure.

When Jie Yin and Zhunti came back, they only saw the cloud light of Li Xuanyang and Shangqing Taoist gradually disappearing.

A hint of urgency flashed across Zhunti Taoist's eyes, and he quickly said to Jie Yin, "Brother, you must not let Li Xuanyang go back. Otherwise, when he truly breaks through to the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, he will definitely cause trouble for our Western Sect!"

"What's more, he possesses the Chaos Treasure..."

Hearing what Zhunti Taoist said, Jie Yin Taoist couldn't help but sigh, "Junior brother, there's no need to say more. You were indeed a bit reckless this time, and your actions were not thorough enough, which is why you ended up like this."

"Let's return to Babao Lingshan first, and we can talk about the rest later."

"Let's go!" After saying this, the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit under the feet of the Taoist Jie Yin flashed with divine light and headed towards the western part of the prehistoric world.

"Senior brother..." The Taoist Zhunti opened his mouth, but ultimately did not mention the matter of the soul relic. Instead, he waved his hand to summon a golden cloud of light to fall on it.

Before leaving, he looked back at the direction of Xuanyang Mountain, with a trace of resentment in his eyes. Then he controlled the far beam and left behind the Taoist Jie Yin.
"The primordial spirits of saints like us are placed on the Heavenly Dao, and their primordial spirit relics are also immortal. I want to see how long you can suppress them!"

As for exchanging the innate twelve-grade golden lotus of merit, it is naturally impossible.

The innate twelve-level golden lotus of merit is a thing used by the Western religion to suppress destiny, and it cannot be lost.

Atop the Lingxiao Palace in the Heavenly Court, Haotian and Yaochi looked at the movement in the void, sighed softly, and said, "The time of ten thousand years is coming. Although you and I are the masters of the Heavenly Court and in charge of the operation of the prehistoric world, the other five emperors will not be able to interfere too much. I am afraid that by then, they will all fall into the hands of the saints."

Although the disciples under the saint have the duty of assisting, the other five emperors are powerful and have the saint as their support, which will certainly be detrimental to Haotian and Yaochi's control of the heavenly court.

"This matter was decided by the master himself, and it is not something we can change." Yao Chi said with a worried look on her face.

"Fortunately, apart from Jiejiao, the number of disciples under the tutelage of the saints is small, and not all of them will serve in the Heavenly Court. There are still many positions in the Heavenly Court that have not yet been determined."

"You and I can arrange some important positions before the other candidates for the emperor are decided. Even if several emperors come to serve in the Heavenly Court in the future, we can truly control the Heavenly Court with the help of many immortal and god positions." Haotian's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He had already planned this.

"The Heavenly Court has thirty-six levels of heaven and a vast area. I wonder how many cultivators are needed to control it all. I'm afraid that the few independent cultivators you and I have recruited are far from enough." The worry on Yao Chi's face did not diminish, but became more and more worried.

"This is easy. We just need to let our trusted aides occupy some important positions. As for the other positions..."

"There is no shortage of living cultivators in the ancient land. As long as there are enough benefits, it is not difficult to recruit them." Haotian said with a smile.

Hearing Haotian's words, Yao Chi's beautiful eyes lit up with a strange light, and she suddenly said to Haotian, "Back then, the master gave me a peach pit, which I planted in the thirty-sixth heaven. Now it has transformed into 3,600 spiritual roots."

"The first batch of purple-veined peaches are ripening soon, and the date for the discussion of the positions of the remaining Five Imperial Emperors is not far away. Why not take this opportunity to hold a peach banquet and invite everyone. In addition to the saints, all prehistoric cultivators and quasi-saints with great supernatural powers are also welcome to attend."

"Firstly, it can show the prestige of our Heavenly Court, and secondly, it can be used to recruit monks to fill vacancies. What do you think?"

The spiritual roots of these 3,600 Renshui peach trees are extremely extraordinary.

The first 1,200 trees have tiny flowers and fruits, which ripen once every 3,000 years. If people eat them, they can become immortals; the middle 1,200 trees ripen once every 6,000 years. If people eat them, they can ascend to heaven and live forever; the last 1,200 trees have purple stripes and thin cores, which ripen once every 9,000 years. If people eat them, they can live as long as the heaven and the earth, and be as old as the sun and the moon.

Upon hearing Yao Chi's proposal, Haotian's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but smile and said, "This method is very wonderful. It can allow all the cultivators of the prehistoric world to witness the extraordinary nature of the Heavenly Court. There is no need to worry about a lack of cultivators to serve in the Heavenly Court."

"Then I will order people to prepare for the Peach Banquet and bring some more spiritual fruits and fine wines." Yao Chi finally smiled and said.

At this time, Li Xuanyang and Shangqing Taoist each controlled the cloud light and had returned to Xuanyang Mountain.

What happened in the hall earlier was too sudden. Li Xuanyang and Zhunti Taoist both broke through the space and left, causing quite a commotion.

Kong Xuan, Changxi and others didn't know what was going on, so they were naturally very worried.

The two of them had to control the Qiankun Ding for Li Xuanyang and did not dare to move even a step.

Seeing Li Xuanyang and Shangqing Taoist descending the clouds and light, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

The Golden Crane Boy, the Silver Crane Boy, and the Nine-Headed Feathered Insect hurried over and bowed to Li Xuanyang and the Shangqing Taoist priest, "Disciple greets the master, and greets the saint!"

"Everyone, get up!" Li Xuanyang waved his sleeves and lifted several people up when he heard the Golden Crane Boy ask with a puzzled look on his face, "Master, what happened just now? Why did you make such a big fuss?" "Hehehe..." After hearing the Golden Crane Boy's words, Li Xuanyang laughed, "It was nothing more than a fight with that Zhunti Taoist. There's no need for you to worry."

Taoist Cundi!

The Golden Crane Boy, the Silver Crane Boy and the Nine-headed Feathered Insect were all horrified. Their master had just started a dispute with the Taoist Master Zhunti, one of the two saints in the West.

"Well, well, sir..." The Golden Crane Boy was so frightened that he became incoherent.

"The master is a Three Corpse Quasi-Saint with great supernatural powers, and is half a step away from the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. Naturally, he will be fine." The Nine-headed Feathered Insect said, shaking his head.

"Jiu Yu!" The Golden Crane Boy's face turned red, and he glared at the Nine-headed Feathered Insect, telling it to shut up.

"I didn't say anything wrong." The nine-headed feathered insect muttered, and then he thought of the Shangqing Taoist, and immediately stopped mentioning the matter of the Three Corpses Quasi-Saint.

"Okay, go and prepare some spiritual fruits and spiritual tea. I want to have a long talk with fellow Taoist Shangqing!" Looking at the conversation between several people, Li Xuanyang found it a bit funny and couldn't help but give an order.

"We will follow the master's orders!" After hearing Li Xuanyang's order, the Golden Crane Boy, the Silver Crane Boy and the Nine-headed Feathered Insect bowed and turned away excitedly.

Who knows, one day my master will break through to the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, and then we will also be disciples of the saint.

"It made fellow Taoists laugh."

"Please come in and talk!" Li Xuanyang said to the Taoist Shangqing with a smile and extended his hand to invite him.

"The boy under my tutelage is even interesting. Why should I laugh at him?" Taoist Shangqing laughed loudly and couldn't help but think of the boy and mount under his tutelage.

While chatting and laughing, the two walked into a hall and sat opposite each other.

At this moment, the Taoist Shangqing thought of the matter of Zhunti and Jieyin, and could not help but ask Li Xuanyang, "How did you meet the Taoist Zhunti?"

Hearing the question from the Shangqing Taoist, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but laugh. "To be honest, it wasn't Zhunti that I met, but Zhunti who came to visit me specifically."

"So Zhunti came here specifically for you, fellow Taoist." The Shangqing Taoist frowned and said, "No wonder Jieyin stopped me. It seems he was prepared."

"That's right." Li Xuanyang's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as he spoke of this matter. "Zunti intended to use me to gain the position of the Six Imperial Emperors and the Three Sovereigns of the human race, but I simply did not agree."

As for the matter of Kongtong Seal, Li Xuanyang did not mention it.

"Six Emperors!"

"The Three Emperors of Humanity!"

"That was a good plan, but it's all in vain," said the Taoist Shangqing in a stern tone, "Whether it's the Six Imperial Emperors or the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race, they have nothing to do with the West."

"Six Emperors, we, the disciples of the three sects of Chan, Jie and others, will each take one position. Disciples of fellow Daoists can also take one position. The last position of Six Emperors will be reserved for the two tribes of Wu and Lich and the fellow Daoists of Zixiao Palace."

At this point, a sneer appeared on the face of the Taoist Shangqing. The three religions of Chan, Jie, and Jie had already reached a tacit understanding on this matter, so how could they allow the two saints from the West to get involved?

Jie Yin and Zhunti had worked in vain. In the end, not only did they not gain any benefits, they also completely offended Li Xuanyang and even lost face.

"As for the matter of the Three Emperors of the human race, I am not in a position to say much. You will need to discuss it in detail with the eldest brother and Nuwa when the time comes." Taoist Shangqing shook his head and said to Li Xuanyang.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist Shangqing suddenly looked puzzled and asked Li Xuanyang, "Why did you cause the heavenly punishment earlier, fellow Daoist?"

"Could it be related to the breakthrough to the Three Corpses Quasi-Sage realm?"

"It has nothing to do with this." Li Xuanyang shook his head helplessly and said, "I once obtained a piece of Chaos Divine Iron from the Wu Clan. Even the Innate Yin-Yang True Fire and the Innate Xuanyang True Fire could not melt it."

"It wasn't until I encountered Jidu and the Chaos True Fire in the Primal Chaos Void that I came up with the idea of ​​using the two yin and yang to derive Chaos. I finally sacrificed it and refined it into a sword, but I didn't expect that this would bring about divine punishment."

Li Xuanyang only briefly talked about this, without mentioning the Creation Artifact and the Twelve Heavenly Demon Flags, nor did he mention how to avoid the heavenly punishment.

"I didn't expect it, but Zhunti recognized it as the Chaos Treasure!" Li Xuanyang was somewhat helpless, but he couldn't explain it.

"Chaos Supreme Treasure!" The Shangqing Taoist was startled at first, then his expression gradually became strange. "The sword that Daoist friend forged is made of Chaos Divine Iron as its spiritual material. It is itself a Chaos object. I guess that's why Zhunti mistook it for that."

"However, Zhunti is half right. Even if it's not a Chaos Supreme Treasure, it's definitely not comparable to an Innate Sword. It must be comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure, otherwise why would Zhunti admit his mistake?"

How could it bring about divine punishment!

At this point, the Shangqing Taoist suddenly glanced at Li Xuanyang and said, "Back then, Jie Yin and Zhunti's trip to the Treasure Sharing Cliff was almost in vain, as they didn't even obtain any innate spiritual treasures. Now they mistakenly believe that you possess the Chaos Supreme Treasure. I'm afraid it will cause trouble in the future."

Why are we talking about the Treasure-Fen Cliff? Li Xuanyang's face changed. He couldn't escape the connection with this matter.

"Fellow!"

Seeing that Li Xuanyang was somewhat absent-minded, the Shangqing Taoist couldn't help but call out softly, "With your current level of Taoism and supernatural powers, there's no need to worry too much."

"I'm not worried about this." Li Xuanyang did not answer directly, but sighed slightly, showing a hint of helplessness. Then a golden divine light flashed in his hand and turned into a golden treasure basin.

"Do you recognize this thing, fellow Daoist?"

"Innate spiritual treasure!" Taoist Shangqing was stunned for a moment, and looked at the thing in Li Xuanyang's hand with confusion.

The golden basin was engraved with spreading auspicious clouds and various innate spiritual treasures. The bottom showed Ganoderma cloud patterns and five blessings patterns. It contained the mystery of blessings and could gather the aura of blessings from the ancient times, and even create something out of nothing.

"What a magical treasure! It can actually gather the aura of blessings and virtues from the ancient world!" The Shangqing Taoist praised, looking at Li Xuanyang with increasing doubt, "But what is the purpose of this action, fellow Taoist?"

"Do you want to exchange spiritual treasures with me?"

However, what Li Xuanyang said next surprised the Shangqing Taoist, "This thing is the Treasure Dividing Cliff!"

Li Xuanyang recounted the story of Taoist Bai Lian taking over the treasure-dividing cliff from beginning to end.

Upon hearing this, Taoist Shangqing was stunned and looked incredulous.

"It turned out to be one of the three corpses of good and evil self of fellow Taoist, who took the treasures from the Fenbao Cliff, causing many innate spiritual treasures to fall into the prehistoric world." Taoist Shangqing couldn't help but glance at Li Xuanyang.

At that time, quite a few innate spiritual treasures fell into the ancient wilderness because of this, causing the fellow practitioners of Zixiao Palace to miss the opportunity and wish they could eat them alive.

Among them are the Taoist priests Jie Yin and Zhunti.

Who would have thought that it was a good deed done by the Taoist Bai Lian, one of Li Xuanyang's three corpses of good and evil.

"Please don't spread this matter to others." Although Li Xuanyang was not afraid of the consequences of this matter, he also didn't want to be blamed by his fellow Taoists in Zixiao Palace.

"Haha, it seems that fellow Taoist is also afraid that this matter will be known by the fellow Taoists of Zixiao Palace." Taoist Shangqing couldn't help but chuckle, joked with Li Xuanyang for a few words, and then turned to talk to Li Xuanyang about the Dao of Hunyuan.

When they were talking about excitement, the two of them showed the three flowers of their primordial spirits at the same time. One was a quasi-saint with great supernatural powers, and the other was a saint. They discussed the law with each other, and the scene was extraordinary. There were bursts of immortal sounds whispering, and countless divine lights were emitted.

Suddenly, golden flowers fell from the sky and golden lotuses emerged from the ground in the hall. Auspicious clouds and auspicious lights appeared and transformed into all kinds of strange images.

On this day, two sword lights suddenly rushed into the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens. Thunder surged in the void, and waves of pressure emerged out of thin air.

Li Xuanyang and Shangqing Taoist, who were discussing the Dao, frowned and retracted the three flowers of their primordial spirits. The strange vision in the hall then dissipated and they looked up into the void.

"The Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood!" Li Xuanyang and the Shangqing Taoist looked at each other with some surprise.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know why the Taoist Minghe in the Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood made such a commotion?" Taoist Shangqing asked Li Xuanyang with a frown.

"I don't know the truth about this matter either." Li Xuanyang shook his head. The Emperor of Fengdu was not in charge of the underworld for the time being, so he was not aware of the strange phenomena caused by the Taoist of the Styx.

Just as the two were speculating, a voice was heard faintly in the void, "I am Minghe. With the Ashura clan as my foundation, I established the Ashura Cult. I use killing to stop killing, and use the killing treasures, Yuantu and Abi, to suppress destiny. With the Heavenly Dao as my witness, the Ashura Cult is established!"

Above the sea of ​​blood in the Netherworld, the Taoist of the Styx showed the three flowers of his primordial spirit, and the Yuantu and Abi swords hung high in the air. Waves of murderous aura rushed straight to the thirty-three outer heavens, causing the endless sea of ​​blood to roll, and the murderous aura was so shocking that it made everyone in the Netherworld feel a chill in their hearts.

Countless Asuras around were bowing to the Taoist Master Minghe and shouting.

"To prove the truth through killing, my truth will be achieved!" Seeing all kinds of strange visions in the void, the Taoist of Minghe laughed loudly, as if he had seen the scenes derived from countless merits and mysterious energy.

However, Taoist Minghe did not have long to be happy.
