Investiture of the Gods: I am Bigan, the Master of Conspiracy

Chapter 114 The Fifth Capture Live Causes Uproar in the Three Realms!

At this moment, Yin Ziyu stood at the eye of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, with sixty Jiazi flags rising from the ground like giant pillars supporting the sky. The power of origin surrounded him, and the light he emitted dyed the world with the colors of the beginning of chaos.

When the Six Geng Divine Sword and the Pangu Banner's Heaven-Opening Blade collided with a deafening roar, space and time seemed to be torn apart. What surged out of the crack was not darkness, but endless power of the Five Elements.

The five elements of the entire Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation continuously evolved, with the Eastern Green Wood transforming into a lush and vibrant ancient forest.

The fire of the south condenses into a crimson phoenix, poised to take flight; the dark water of the north forms towering waves; and the earth of the center piles up into a majestic mountain, as stable as a mountain.

The five primordial forces intertwined and fused together, switching freely between the five elements. Even the Pangu Banner was now being resisted by Yin Ziyu's strength.

At this moment, Yin Ziyu could no longer hide his true intentions, which truly shook the Three Realms.

This attack unleashed a whirlwind of earth, water, fire, and wind, a scene that shook the entire primordial world.

What was initially thought to be a swift and decisive victory over the enemy formation, and indeed it was, unexpectedly, took an unexpected turn.

If the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind were to annex Xiqi, then everything would be over.

This was also something Yin Ziyu did on purpose, deliberately creating trouble for Xuandu. Xuandu had no choice but to immediately use the Taiji Diagram to quell the earth, water, fire, and wind!

Grand Master Xuandu disregarded everything else and immediately took control of the Taiji Diagram. The black and white energies spun wildly, forming a huge yin-yang vortex.

Faced with the earth, water, fire, and storm generated by the collision of the Six Geng Divine Sword and the Pangu Banner, Xuan Du's palms flew, and hand seals poured out like flowing water.

The Tai Chi diagram unfolded with a roar, transforming into a colossal, dark yellow curtain that blotted out the sky. The yin and yang fish breathed in and out the chaotic energy between heaven and earth, taking in all the raging energy storms.

"Certainly!"

With a roar, the Golden Bridge of Heaven and Earth rose up, like a giant golden dragon spanning the sky.

Just as Grand Master Xuandu was desperately suppressing the earth, water, fire, and wind emanating from his body, Yunxiao's head was covered by the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, and a towering innate evil energy dragon pillar rose around him. The Great Dao Proverbs on the surface of the Golden Bucket resonated with the Six Geng Dao Patterns on Yin Ziyu's Six Geng Divine Sword, transforming into a black and purple interwoven energy torrent that swept in like an apocalyptic tide.

In one fell swoop, it shattered a corner of the Taiji Diagram's power of law that was protecting the Twelve Golden Immortals.

The opportunity is rare; otherwise, if Xuandu had used the Taiji Diagram to defend the Twelve Golden Immortals, the opponent would have been invincible from the start.

The best opportunity will come when Xuandu desperately mobilizes his magical power to quell the earth, water, fire, and wind.

"not good!"

Guang Chengzi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and at the same time barely raised the Pangu Banner, preparing to strike again.

The Twelve Golden Immortals were also nearly exhausted of their magical power, and the three flowers on their heads had turned gray.

Yin Ziyu immediately drew upon the immense power of origin, and the Hunyuan Five Elements Array erupted with dazzling colorful light. The sixty Jiazi flags converged into the Six Ding Divine Fire, swirling and crashing towards the location of the Chan Sect members. Wherever it passed, space shattered inch by inch, and fragments of laws fell like meteors.

At this moment, Yunxiao gently raised her hand, and the innate evil energy surging from the Hunyuan Golden Bucket condensed into nine black dragons.

The dragon's head spewed out pitch-black malevolent energy, and where its tail swept, even the void rippled with an oily sheen.

The Twelve Golden Immortals are now somewhat weakened by the lack of magical power, and the Grand Master Xuandu's use of the Taiji Diagram to suppress earth, water, fire, and wind has created a vulnerability in their defenses.

Under the Hunyuan Five Elements Formation, in conjunction with the nine innate evil dragons in the clouds, they instantly suppressed the attack.

The terrifying malevolent energy caused the three flowers atop the heads of the Twelve Golden Immortals to dim and shrink under its influence.

"cut!"

Yin Ziyu activated the Hunyuan Five Elements Formation, and the Six Geng Divine Sword, carrying the power to split the heavens and earth, instantly slashed down, piercing through a corner of the Taiji Diagram's defense.

Meanwhile, Xuandu stood on the golden bridge, the heaven-opening and earth-shattering laws and runes flashing incessantly. On one hand, they defended the twelve golden immortals, and on the other hand, they rapidly and irresistibly swept through the four directions, locking down the chaotic earth, water, fire and wind.

Yin Ziyu naturally wouldn't interfere with Xuandu's efforts to pacify the earth, water, fire, and wind. Instead, he instructed Xuandu to use his own magical power to pacify the earth, water, fire, and wind as much as possible.

This left Xuandu with no other choice but to focus on pacifying the earth, water, fire, and wind, otherwise the entire Xiqi would be destroyed, and the Investiture of the Gods would be aborted.

The Tai Chi diagram was indeed terrifying; wherever the golden bridge passed, space rapidly healed, and shattered stars returned to their original positions.

Under the dual suppression of the Tai Chi diagram and the Golden Bridge of Heaven and Earth, the violent energy gradually subsided.

Earth, water, fire, and wind were reintegrated into the Yin-Yang order. Grand Master Xuandu's expression was solemn, clearly indicating that such a large-scale suppression had also greatly depleted Xuandu's resources.

However, at this moment, the Twelve Golden Immortals' defenses were weak and were instantly broken by Yin Ziyu's Six Geng Divine Sword. Nine evil dragons in the clouds instantly captured all twelve Golden Immortals alive!

After breaking through the Taiji Diagram's defenses, Yin Ziyu immediately withdrew the power of the great formation. That was enough for him; the rest was left to Yunxiao, who continued to focus on the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

That's right, he was captured alive again after the two supreme treasures broke through the formation.

The entire Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was replenished by Yin Ziyu with the Five Elements Origin, and it was fully restored to operation.

In this battle, Yin Ziyu gained the most, as he withstood the Pangu Banner and shattered the Taiji Diagram, causing auspicious clouds to surge above his head, with thousands of auspicious rays and ten thousand golden rays descending from the sky, enveloping Yin Ziyu within them.

He is blessed with great prestige from heaven and earth, and every wisp of his being contains boundless power of fortune.

Indeed, although Yin Ziyu could no longer hide his strength in this battle, he also gained the most.

The greater the power of the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner before the battle, the greater the fortune that Yin Ziyu will receive at this moment.

He single-handedly lifted the Pangu Banner and shattered the Taiji Diagram, which made him famous throughout the prehistoric world. At the same time, the fortune of the Renjiao and Chanjiao sects was lost due to their defeat, but it flowed into Yin Ziyu's hands.

Shame, such a great shame!
This is the fifth time; he has been captured alive again, and the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation has not yet been broken!
At this moment, the Twelve Golden Immortals were trapped by the black dragon formed by Yunxiao's Primordial Golden Bucket's innate evil energy. Their magical power was sealed, and they were captured like lambs to the slaughter.

All of this happened very quickly, and the city of Xiqi was deathly silent.

Ji Fa's face turned deathly pale. He couldn't understand why things had changed so drastically from what they had just described as overwhelming. His body swayed slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Jiang Ziya's hand holding the God-Slaying Whip trembled violently, his white hair was disheveled in the wind, and the wrinkles on his face were twisted with shock. He muttered to himself, "How could this be... how could this be..." Randeng looked at the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation and murmured, "The Great Shang High Priest Bi Gan was actually in the formation. He actually used the Primordial Origin Holy Banner to block two supreme treasures for the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. So it was all because of this Bi Gan!"

At this point, Yin Ziyu could no longer hide it, and everyone finally understood.

Everything came not only from the clouds, but also from this great Shang Dynasty high priest.

Styx of the Asura Realm stared wide-eyed, his voice filled with surprise and disbelief: "Yunxiao was able to capture the Twelve Golden Immortals again under the pressure of the Heaven-Opening Treasure. This formation is indeed full of hidden secrets. The sixty flags have drawn upon the origin of the primordial world. This high priest is quite cunning. Even the sages could not have foreseen this. Five failures. I really don't know how Xiqi will deal with it!"

Deep within the Northern Sea, Kunpeng's eyes gleamed with complex light: "The Chan Sect, possessing two supreme treasures, has still fallen to such a state. This great calamity is truly becoming more and more interesting. However, this little human fellow has such audacity and such courage, actually activating the power of the primordial origin. No wonder the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation remains unbroken!"

Zhen Yuanzi was also astonished: "The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation has repeatedly caused the Chan Sect to suffer defeats. I'm afraid even the Sages can no longer tolerate it! This High Priest of the Great Shang Dynasty once came to me and used my two ginseng fruits to scheme against the Xuanyuan lineage. Now he has gone so far as to plot against Xiqi. This is not just a scheme against Xiqi, but against the Sages behind it. This is too audacious! The entire territory of the human race has been mobilized by him to activate the primordial origin. How long has this scheme been in place?"

At this moment, Yin Ziyu could no longer hide his fame and truly became famous throughout the prehistoric world, causing shock to all sides!
What's shocking is the depth of Yin Ziyu's scheme!

Why go to such lengths to plan this out?
Who are you targeting?
The answer is obvious: it's the Sage. For a human to harbor such immense hostility towards a Sage is incredibly audacious.

Although it seems that the sage is indeed going to overthrow the Shang Dynasty, there is no doubt about that.

At this moment, Yin Ziyu, regardless of how the various parties in the prehistoric world viewed this matter, immediately retreated to Qinglong Pass and put away the Hunyuan Five Elements Formation!

Yin Ziyu naturally understood that at this point, the Sage would definitely not be able to hold back any longer, so he absolutely could not stand in front of him anymore.

Let Yunxiao handle things first. After all, the enemy has always relied on Yunxiao to break through the formation, while I, although exposed this time, am still in a supporting role.

At this moment, before Yunxiao captured the Twelve Golden Immortals in Xiqi, while all parties in the prehistoric world were astonished, suddenly, the world fell into an eerie silence, the wind stopped and the clouds stagnated, and even time seemed to freeze.

Then, a suffocating pressure filled the entire prehistoric world.

Two figures came from the Jade Void Palace and instantly landed in front of the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation!
When the sage descended to earth, a ray of purple light pierced the sky, followed by thousands of golden rays of light pouring down, like the first divine radiance that fell when Pangu created the world.

At this moment, countless crystal-clear golden flowers appeared out of thin air in front of Xiqi City. Each flower was the size of a millstone, and the petals were filled with the innate Dao. When the golden flowers fell, they actually outlined countless divine characters in the void.

Wherever the sage's power passed, space solidified into an amber-like state, and even time seemed to stand still.

Lao Tzu held the Taiyi whisk, his body swirling with mysterious yellow energy that resonated with the golden flowers, each breath causing spatial tremors.

Yuanshi Tianzun held the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, which radiated boundless light. Wherever he went, golden lotuses grew wildly, paving a golden road that led directly to the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

The two sages were surrounded by illusory figures formed from Daoist energy, causing all the immortals and gods of the primordial world to watch in silence.

As the divine might descended, golden flowers rained down upon Xiqi City. Due to the aftershocks of the previous battle to break the formation, the ruins within the city were instantly repaired in the golden light, and the withered vegetation was revitalized.

The shattered space seemed as if it had never existed.

The Golden Spirit Mother of Qinglong Pass was stunned: "Ziyu, the Sage has really come! I wonder if Master will come? Will Junior Sister Yunxiao be in danger?"

Yin Ziyu shook his head: "The Sage of Tongtian should not come, and the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao are currently not lacking in fortune, so they will be fine!"

Originally, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was directly destroyed by Yuanshi Tianzun, who sent the Three Immortals of Sanxiao to the list. However, at that time, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao lacked sufficient fortune.

Now that Yunxiao is a Hunyuan Golden Immortal with abundant fortune, Yuanshi Tianzun has no reason to kill the Three Immortals.

"Master and Grand Master Uncle have arrived!"

Guang Chengzi and his men, who had been captured alive, were all extremely happy at this moment!
Xuandu also bowed in the direction from which the two saints had arrived!
Xuandu was extremely ashamed at this moment. He never expected that his two treasures could fail so miserably, forcing the sage to come in person.

At this point, the sage had no choice but to come; the situation could no longer be salvaged.

In this battle, the magnificent river of fortune suppressed by the two supreme treasures dimmed somewhat, which benefited Yin Ziyu greatly.

When the two sages arrived at the front of the formation, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in the hand of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable shone brightly, and the Jade Purity Great Dao around him surged like a long river. He said in a deep voice, "Elder brother, can this formation be broken?"

To break the formation, even Yuanshi Tianzun needed to consult Laozi.

Laozi stroked his long, silvery-white beard: "Second brother, you can break the formation."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable remained silent. With a wave of his hand, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi was gently swung, and a terrifying, earth-shattering power descended, causing the void to crumble inch by inch like a broken mirror.

With a single wave of his hand, the Primordial Celestial Venerable of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation instantly turned to dust. The surging innate evil energy within the formation also vanished in an instant. The entire formation collapsed with a deafening roar, leaving not a trace behind.

It was as if this mighty formation that shook the three realms had never existed.

At this moment, the three fairy maidens of Sanxiao lost their balance and fell off the back of the blue phoenix.

Despite her pale face and dimmed Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, Yunxiao still managed to stand up and, with her two younger sisters, slowly knelt down on the ground.

Yunxiao hurriedly and respectfully said, "Disciples Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao pay their respects to our two senior masters and wish our holy senior masters a long and prosperous life!"

Yunxiao, along with Bixiao and Qiongxiao, paid their respects with utmost deference, without the slightest hint of disrespect.

Looking at the Three Immortals of Sanxiao before him, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned deeply, for he could find nothing about them that he could punish.

The Chan Sect is now suffering a huge loss of fortune and reputation, but there is nothing it can do about it.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the clouds and said, "Why have you three set up such a vicious formation here?"

Yunxiao hurriedly replied, "Reporting to my master, I am aware of the Great Tribulation and have sealed off the mountain. However, my elder brother, who was living in seclusion on Mount Luofu, was lured out and ended up in Xiqi where he suffered a calamity. I have come here to avenge my brother, hence this formation. I originally intended to seek revenge on Lu Ya, the Burning Lamp, but the fellow Daoists of the Chan Sect have repeatedly come to break the formation, leaving me with no choice!"

Lao Tzu frowned and asked, "In the midst of a great calamity, one cannot enter the world without upholding one's original heart; this is itself a calamity. Zhao Gongming died in a calamity. You came to Xiqi to set up this formation to obstruct the rise of Zhou and the destruction of Shang. Do you know that this is going against the will of Heaven?"

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao quickly replied, "Thank you for your guidance, Master Uncle. Since the Sage Master Uncle has come here, this disciple will not set up an array here!"
