It would have been better not to seek out Daoist Ran Deng, at least then there would be an excuse for losing, since they still had some trump cards up their sleeves.

However, if the Daoist Ran Deng is defeated, then in this debate among the three religions, their Chan religion will suffer a complete defeat.

"Damn it, my Chan Sect is clearly the orthodox Taoism in the world. What Jie Sect are they? They are all born from eggs and creatures with fur and horns. What right do they have to call themselves Taoism?"

At this moment, the Boundless Immortal was filled with murderous intent, and an evil peach was slowly being born.

"One day, I will change all of this. I will make the Chan Sect the only one among the three sects!"

However, regardless of what the Boundless Immortal Elder thought, the current situation was that the Twelve Golden Immortals were intimidated by Zhao Gongming alone.

Of course, if the Twelve Golden Immortals were to mobilize their digital weapons, or even act together, they might be able to put up a fight against the opponent.

But if we actually did that, the scene would be too ugly.

"What? Boundless Immortal, has your Chan Sect lost its people?"

Zhao Gongming's voice grew louder, and at the same time, the immortals of the Jie Sect also revealed a mocking expression.

"Junior Brother Zhao, how about I spar with you for a couple of moves?"

Just then, a clear voice was heard, and then a barefoot Taoist stepped into the Taoist temple.

"Senior Brother Xuandu, you..."

Zhao Gongming felt a chill run down his spine.

To be honest, Zhao Gongming wasn't afraid of any of the immortals present making a move, but this Grand Master Xuandu was the only exception!

There was nothing we could do; the other party was too powerful.

The only direct disciple of Taiqing Daode Tianzun, and also one of the first humans created by the saint Nuwa herself.

Although very few people in the Three Realms have ever seen this person make a move, given his status as the only direct disciple of the Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Great Purity, his methods and magical treasures are probably incredibly terrifying.

"Senior Brother Xuandu, by standing up for the Chan Sect, haven't you broken the rules?"

"Immortal Qiongxiao said angrily."

Upon hearing this, Grand Master Xuandu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Junior Sister Qiongxiao, you are mistaken. I am not standing up for the Chan Sect. Rather, have we all forgotten that this is a discussion of the Dao among the three sects, not a personal feud between the Chan and Jie sects? As a disciple of the Human Sect, how have I broken any rules by participating in this discussion?"

Upon hearing this, the immortals of the Jie Sect were utterly unable to refute it.

Indeed, this is a discussion among the three religions!

Although it has always been the rivalry between the Chan and Jie sects, the Ren sect has basically never made a move.

However, the discussion between the three religions is just that—a discussion between the three religions. It is perfectly reasonable for Grand Master Xuandu to intervene.

However, the fact that Grand Master Xuandu made his move at this crucial juncture when the Chan Sect was about to be suppressed by the Jie Sect made his intentions all too obvious.

Balance, the way of Tai Chi!

In an instant, a flash of inspiration struck Zhao Gongming, and he finally understood why the Human Sect rarely intervened, yet was never absent—it was probably to deal with the current situation.

Chapter 62 The Powerful Xuandu

2025-03-05 10:05:13 Author: The Blind Man Without an Umbrella

"Interesting. The Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Great Purity seems to ignore the affairs of the three religions, but at crucial moments, he still can't help but take action!"

Ao Yifan thought to himself.

This debate between the three religions, seemingly a discussion among disciples of the three religions, was in reality a contest between the Three Pure Ones.

"Unfortunately, the Jie Sect has indeed developed too rapidly in recent years. I'm afraid this is not a situation that the Supreme Lord of the Dao Deity is willing to see."

Of course, this was just what Ao Yifan was thinking. As for whether there were any deeper schemes involved, he had no idea.

However, he didn't want to worry about that. What he wanted was the thing that the immortals of the three religions cared about the least.

Thinking to himself, Ao Yifan gave a wink to Xiao Muzha, who was standing behind Cihang Daoren.

After all, whether his plan can succeed depends on his eldest son.

"Since Senior Brother Xuandu wants to instruct me, then I will not stand on ceremony!"

As he spoke, Zhao Gongming waved his right hand.

The next moment, a dragon-binding rope swept towards Grand Master Xuandu.

Seeing this, Grand Master Xuandu took a step forward, and immediately, a Tai Chi diagram appeared beneath his feet, and he vanished from his spot in an instant.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongming's face turned ferocious, and he said, "Senior Brother Xuandu, it's useless. Once I unleash my Dragon Binding Rope, it will automatically track the target and fight to the death!"

As soon as Zhao Gongming finished speaking, sure enough, the Dragon Binding Rope paused slightly in the air before sweeping away into the empty space once more.

"That is indeed a bit troublesome!"

His figure materialized, and Grand Master Xuandu looked at the Dragon-Binding Rope sweeping towards him, his eyes showing neither sorrow nor joy.

Immediately afterwards, he pointed his finger, and in the next moment, the myriad purple lights of the Chan Sect bloomed, and an Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace emerged from the purple light.

"The Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace!"

Looking at the purple-gold furnace in the air, Zhao Gongming's expression changed.

However, before he could react, the Grand Master Xuandu gently pressed his finger, and the Bagua Purple Gold Furnace descended from the sky.

"boom--"

After a loud bang, the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace suppressed the Dragon Binding Rope within its body.

"do not want!"

Zhao Gongming exclaimed, then waved his hands, and twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls flew out, striking fiercely towards the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace.

“Junior Brother Zhao, I happen to be missing a belt. Your Dragon Binding Rope is quite good. Why don’t you give it to me as your elder brother?”

Grand Master Xuandu waved his right hand, and immediately, a Tai Chi diagram appeared in mid-air.

The twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, which originally contained the power of the four seas, were instantly swept up by the mysterious array on the Taiji Diagram when they struck it. They spun around in the array, seemingly lost and disoriented.

"Tai Chi diagram!"

The moment the Tai Chi diagram appeared, the assembled immortals gasped in astonishment.

The Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace and the Tai Chi Diagram are both sacred treasures of sages.

However, at present, Grand Master Xuandu can be easily summoned to fight the enemy.

This means that Zhao Gongming was not facing the Grand Master Xuandu at this moment, but the Supreme Celestial Venerable of Morality!

Good heavens, how are we supposed to fight like this?

At this moment, Zhao Gongming had not given up. Seeing that the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were out of control, he flipped his hands, and two divine whips appeared in his hands.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a low roar, Zhao Gongming attacked Grand Master Xuandu.

"Sigh, why be so persistent?"

With a soft sigh, Grand Master Xuandu pointed his finger again, and with a flash of golden light, a golden bracelet shot out instantly.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Gongming's expression changed drastically, and he swung his divine whip, striking at the golden bracelet.

"Om-"

With a buzzing sound, Zhao Gongming felt a jolt in his arm, and the divine whip in his hand was instantly and uncontrollably sucked away by the golden bracelet.

At the same time, the gold bracelet continued its downward momentum, slamming heavily into Zhao Gongming's chest.

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward by the impact.

"Big brother!"

"Big Brother!"

In an instant, the expressions of the Jie Sect immortals changed drastically. They never expected that someone as powerful as Zhao Gongming would not even last a few rounds against this Grand Master Xuandu.

"I-I'm fine!"

Clutching his chest, Zhao Gongming's eyes flickered.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that the Dragon Binding Rope flew out again from the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace, but it was no longer under Zhao Gongming's control. Instead, it wrapped around the waist of Grand Master Xuandu and truly became his belt.

Seeing this, a hint of unwillingness flashed in Zhao Gongming's eyes, but after looking at the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls suppressed by the Taiji Diagram, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Senior Brother Xuandu's methods are astonishing, Zhao Gongming concedes defeat!"

This battle ended too quickly, so quickly that the immortals of the three religions didn't even have time to react.

There was nothing anyone could have imagined; the usually low-profile Grand Master Xuandu possessed such formidable skills.

However, it's not surprising, after all, who would have thought that Grand Master Xuandu could so easily summon so many of the magical treasures of the Supreme Celestial Venerable of Morality?

In this situation, unless a saint personally arrives, no one else can make a difference.

"Does this count as cheating?"

Taiyi Zhenren asked Ao Yifan in a low voice. He quite liked this young man, after all, he was the father of his disciple.

"Cheating? What do you mean?"

Ao Yifan said with some surprise.

Looking around, Master Taiyi said in a low voice, "Just now, what Senior Brother Xuandu used were clearly several powerful spiritual treasures of Uncle Taiqing: the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace, the Taiji Diagram, and the Vajra Bracelet. Isn't that equivalent to Uncle Taiqing personally taking action? Isn't that a bit unfair?"

Taiyi Zhenren thought he had lowered his voice, but everyone in the room was a powerful immortal, so those who were paying attention could still hear him clearly.

"Ahem, junior brother, watch your words!"

The Boundless Immortal coughed lightly, offering a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Master Taiyi's expression changed, and he gave a somewhat embarrassed smile.

Meanwhile, Ao Yifan shook his head with a smile and said, "Master, I don't think there's anything wrong with winning. Your master's favor is also part of your strength. For example, Master, all these magical treasures you have must have been bestowed upon you by your master. Grand Master Xuandu is valued by the Sage of Taiqing, who allows him to use his own spiritual treasures. How can you say that it's not fair to win?"

"Oh, I think that's how it is?"

Taiyi Zhenren's face showed a look of realization.

Seeing this, Ao Yifan smiled slightly, then looked past Taiyi Zhenren at Shen Gongbao on his other side, thinking to himself, "Eunuch Shen, I wonder if you understood what I meant?"
