Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 105 Heart-Piercing Lock, Six-Soul Banner

At that very moment, outside the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, during the great battle of the saints, the four saints Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti were unaware of the situation.

The disciples of the Jie Sect, led by their four direct disciples—Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, Holy Mother Wudang, and Holy Mother Guiling—divided into two groups. One group, led by Holy Mothers Jinling and Guiling, charged directly towards the city of Xiqi on the opposite side.

Another route, through talismans bestowed by Tongtian, directly teleported to the foot of Mount Sumeru in the west, intending to attack Buddhism.

Although Tongtian Jiaozhu was reckless, he was not without wisdom. On the contrary, with Hongyun's help, Tongtian had unprecedented confidence.

He was certain to win this battle. Therefore, Tongtian had made preparations well in advance to send the disciples of the Chan Sect and Buddhism to the list.

In that case, the Investiture of the Gods would be complete.

Golden Spirit Mother and Tortoise Spirit Mother led over a thousand disciples of the Intercepting Sect and marched in a mighty force towards Xiqi City.

How could Xiqi City possibly withstand that?

They were immediately smashed apart. Of course, with the orders of the Tongtian Sect Master, these disciples did not deliberately harm those mortals, but only killed the disciples of the Chan Sect.

The entire Chan Sect was in chaos. They never expected that before the sages within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation had even determined a victor, the disciples of the Jie Sect outside had already started fighting.

They were caught off guard.

However, the Chan Sect also has a powerful figure in charge, namely the Vice Leader, Daoist Ran Deng.

When the Daoist Ran Deng saw the thousands of disciples of the Jie Sect coming to kill him, he was also shocked, but he was not afraid.

He was, after all, a quasi-saint.

Of the three sects of Taoism, Chan, and Jie, only the Jie sect has produced a disciple at the quasi-saint level, Daoist Duobao; the highest-ranking disciple among the others is only a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

He also saw that among the disciples of the Jie Sect who came, there was no Daoist Duobao, so why was he afraid?

He immediately leaped out and instructed the disciples of the Chan Sect to form a great formation to resist, while the other disciples hid in the formation to fight the enemy.

Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, and the other twelve Golden Immortals, having received instructions from the Daoist Randeng, calmed down and formed a Twelve Yuan Chen Grand Array.

Golden Spirit Mother and Tortoise Spirit Mother led a large number of disciples of the Intercepting Sect to attack. When they encountered this great formation, they launched a fierce attack, but for a while, they were unable to break through it.

However, the members of the Chan Sect were not having an easy time either. Even Daoist Ran Deng felt immense pressure at this time.

After all, the opposing side had a full thousand disciples of the Jie Sect. Once the formation was breached, their side would suffer heavy casualties.

The Taoist Ran Deng shouted from within the great formation, trying to slow things down, but to his surprise, the Golden Spirit Mother on the other side ignored him completely.

Seeing that the Twelve Yuan Chen Formation could not be broken in a short time by brute force alone, the Golden Spirit Mother asked the Turtle Spirit Mother to go to the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal and shake the Six Soul Banner bestowed by the Tongtian Sect Master.

The Six Soul Banner is a cursed treasure; a single use can kill six people who worship it, even quasi-saints.

The Golden Spirit Mother intended to kill several of the Twelve Golden Immortals, thus breaking the Twelve Yuan Chen Formation on its own.

However, the Golden Spirit Mother did not expect that when the Tortoise Spirit Mother found the Long-Eared Light-Fixing Immortal, the Long-Eared Light-Fixing Immortal's eyes suddenly flickered, and then he suddenly attacked the Tortoise Spirit Mother.

Unaware of the danger, the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit managed to shift her body slightly in the critical moment, thus avoiding being struck by the Long-Eared Immortal, but she was still injured.

After striking, the Long-Eared Immortal Dingguang tried to escape, flying towards the Twelve Yuan Chen Formation, shouting, "Brother Ran Deng, quickly open the formation and let me in! I was ordered by the Sage to hide in the Jie Sect."

Upon hearing this, the Taoist Ran Deng immediately realized that the sage the rabbit was referring to was not Yuanshi Tianzun, but Zhunti Sage.

However, the fact that the rabbit had shouted this out in public displeased Daoist Ran Deng, and he slowed down the activation of the formation.

At this moment, the Golden Spirit Mother was already furious. Suddenly, she summoned a jade lock, and the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal had already fled to a place not far from the Twelve Yuan Chen Great Array.

But at this moment, his body suddenly stiffened, bound by chains, and then he let out an extremely miserable sound.

The chains were deeply embedded in his body, tearing through his flesh and causing him to bleed profusely, resulting in excruciating pain.

However, if it is only physical pain, then so be it; at worst, one can abandon this physical body and still escape with one's primordial spirit.

The problem was that a chain had also drilled into his brow, specifically to seal his primordial spirit, leaving him with nowhere to hide.

This jade lock was the Heart-Piercing Lock that the Tongtian Sect Leader obtained from the Zixiao Palace. With a single strike, he captured the traitor, Chang Er Dingguang Xian.

In front of all the disciples of the Chan Sect, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian was dragged back like a dead dog.

Long-eared Dingguangxian stretched out his hand, pleading for help from the crowd, but who dared to lend a hand? They were all terrified by the scene.

Long-eared Dingguangxian was dragged back.

"You beast! Your teacher has treated you well, yet you dare to betray him in the face of battle! You are truly courting death!" The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit roared, and then cast a spell, causing the Heart-Piercing Lock to unleash its power once more.

Immediately, Chang Er Ding Guangxian rolled on the ground in agony, blood everywhere, begging for mercy.

But he betrayed the enemy at the last minute and injured the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit. At this point, why would anyone sympathize with him?

Lingya Xian, one of the Seven Immortals who were also his attendants, dragged him away, intending to hand him over to the Tongtian Sect Leader for disposal later.

However, the Golden Spirit Mother picked up the Six Soul Banner, looked at the group of Chan Sect disciples in the Twelve Yuan Chen Formation, and revealed a cold smile.

The Golden Spirit Mother pricked her finger and wrote six names on the Six Soul Banner.

The first name was Randeng Daoren, the second was Guangchengzi, the third was Chijingzi, the fourth was Yuding Zhenren, the fifth was Daoxing Tianzun, and the sixth was Yunzhongzi.

Clearly, the Golden Spirit Mother was very decisive and wanted to kill the highest combatant of the Chan Sect directly.

Especially since Daoist Ran Deng is a quasi-saint. If we don't kill him with the Six Soul Banner, even if we break the formation, our side will still have to pay a heavy price.

Meanwhile, the Chan Sect had no idea that the Golden Spirit Mother possessed such a terrifying weapon.

If they had known that Chang Er Ding Guang Xian had escaped with the Six Soul Banner, they would have gone out to rescue him no matter what.

But by then it was too late. Although Daoist Ran Deng was a quasi-saint, he was currently caught in the calamity and could not possibly sense it.

After writing the name, the Golden Spirit Mother channeled all her magical power into the Six Soul Banner, causing it to shake violently.

Within the Twelve Yuan Chen Formation, a group of Chan Sect disciples were working together to operate the formation and resist the attack of the Jie Sect.

However, at that very moment, suddenly, "bang, bang, bang..." six figures fell down one after another.

Even the quasi-saint master, Daoist Ran Deng, was no exception; they all collapsed to the ground.

Their faces were all blackened, and they were all silent; clearly, they had all died a violent death.

Only the Tongtian Sect Leader was merciful, knowing that there were some experts on the Investiture of the Gods list, so he held back a trick, preventing the Six Soul Banner from completely annihilating the true spirits of these people.

One after another, true spirits emerged from the tops of the six people's heads and then headed towards the Investiture of the Gods.

Naturally, without the maintenance of these six people, especially the four of the Twelve Golden Immortals who were important components of the Twelve Yuan Chen Grand Array—Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Yu Ding Zhenren, and Dao Xing Tianzun—all died.

The great formation was thus broken.

The remaining disciples of the Chan Sect were all exposed to the encirclement of the disciples of the Jie Sect.
