Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 135 Great Battle

"Who wouldn't want to be the senior disciple if they had the chance?" Kong Xuan laughed loudly, neither dodging nor avoiding, and waved the Five-Colored Divine Light Cudgel in his hand to meet him.

The two sticks collided, but no sound was made. The sound was absorbed by the five-colored divine light before it could be made.

Liu Er felt a slight numbness in his arm and exclaimed, "Junior Brother, what amazing magic power!" It was Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light, which was even more powerful.

The monkey perked up, and its Taoist robe was torn open, revealing its furry ape form.

With another flick of his body, he split into three monkeys. Not only did he split into three, but the Sun, Moon and Stars Staff in his hand also split into three.

One stick is gold, one stick is silver, and the other is purple.

The three monkeys each displayed a different phenomenon: one had the sun behind it, another had the moon behind it, and the third had a vast starry sky behind it, with stars swirling around.

Three monkeys surrounded Kong Xuan, and a great battle was about to break out. Kong Xuan also became serious, knowing that the monkeys were using their true abilities.

The stick in his hand vanished in an instant, transforming into five-colored divine light and reappearing behind Kong Xuan.

But at that moment, Zhen Yuanzi's voice came from Wuzhuang Temple: "If you two want to fight, don't fight here. Go back to your teacher's house to fight."

A large sleeve rolled out, covering the sky and the earth.

However, neither Kong Xuan nor Liu Er could escape Zhen Yuanzi's magical ability of "a universe hidden in a sleeve".

It was caught in the large sleeve, put into it, and then shaken, and in the next moment, it was poured out again.

When the three monkeys and one person emerged again, they had already entered the chaos.

"Hey!"

Upon seeing this, the three monkeys all chuckled, but then decisively attacked, smashing their long sticks down at Kong Xuan's head.

Kong Xuan used his Five-Colored Divine Light to fiercely strike the three long sticks, thus engaging in a contest of magical power.

However, Liu Er's magical power was clearly not comparable to his. After parrying for a while, seeing that he could not overpower Kong Xuan, he changed his moves.

The three monkeys each brandished their sticks, using different techniques, and surrounded Kong Xuan, attacking him as if they were just glancing at a passing flower.

Kong Xuan fought against three opponents alone, wielding a five-colored halberd, and for a time, he managed to defend them impenetrably.

Furthermore, because of the five-colored divine light suspended in the air, Liu Er had to be wary that this thing might come down at any moment.

After all, the power of the Five-Colored Divine Light is no joke.

After fighting for a while, the two fought a fierce battle in the chaos. With their powerful strength as quasi-saints, they were fearless and instead caused the chaos to break apart, with earth, water, fire and wind boiling endlessly.

Kong Xuan seized the opportunity, and with a sudden swipe of his five-colored divine light, he swept a monkey into the light.

Even though Liu Er was on guard, he still couldn't escape the capture of the Five-Colored Divine Light.

However, the moment one monkey was swept into the fray, two other monkeys rushed up and beat him with sticks, leaving Kong Xuan somewhat flustered.

The monkey that had been captured by the Five-Colored Divine Light seized the opportunity and escaped again.

Despite repeated attempts, they were unable to capture all three monkeys at once; they could only manage to catch one at most.

Every time this happens, the other two monkeys intensify their attack, allowing the captured monkey to escape again.

Kong Xuan, however, knew that prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat, and after taking several blows, he couldn't help but grimace in pain.

Kong Xuan swept the five-colored divine light around his body to avoid the three monkeys, and then shook the five-colored divine light, which immediately split into five incarnations.

Including Kong Xuan himself, there are a total of six Kong Xuans, each wielding a magic weapon. In a two-against-one situation, they actually outnumber Liu Er.

Although the three monkeys could still hold their own, they were inevitably at a disadvantage, after all, two fists can't fight four hands.

After a long and fierce battle, the three monkeys suddenly merged into one, and then suddenly stretched out a large hand to grab all six Kong Xuans at once.

Kong Xuan also made a decisive move, merging his five incarnations into one, which then transformed into five-colored divine light, which surged upwards.

It just barely held off Liu Er's huge hand.

The two, equally powerful, constantly unleashed various supernatural abilities and transformations, engaging in a fierce battle amidst the chaos.

The commotion was so great that even the sages sensed it.

On Mount Sumeru in the West, Zhunti said to Guiyin, "Senior brother, look at Fifth Brother's disciples, each one more powerful than the last. Compared to them, our Western Sect's disciples are far inferior, aren't they?"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin paused for a moment before saying, "After all, Fifth Senior Brother did not establish a sect."

"He may not have established a religion, but didn't he establish the Underworld?" Zhunti retorted.

Jieyin could only sigh and say, "Fifth Senior Brother is the strongest, and the disciples he teaches are also so strong. There's nothing we can do about it."

"However, he did not establish a major sect. Although he occupied the Underworld, the Netherworld is vast and cannot be ruled by him alone. Let's deal with it later."

Zhunti was about to speak again when Jieyin added, "Let's not rush things. After all, our eldest and second senior brothers are probably even more anxious than we are."

Zhunti stopped talking, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but smile, agreeing, "Senior Brother is indeed insightful."

Jieyin shook his head and said, "Junior brother, I plan to go into seclusion for a while. I'm afraid I won't have time to deal with other matters, so I'll leave the Western Sect to you alone."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti's heart stirred, and he asked, "Senior Brother, are you in seclusion to sever your third corpse?"

Jieyin nodded, then shook his head and said, "Senior Brother forgot his emotions and severed his three corpses. Sixth Brother alone received the Master's true teachings and also established his Dao through killing and severed his three corpses. I am thinking of using my dream of proving the Dao to sever my three corpses as well. But as for whether it will succeed, we will have to try to find out."

Zhunti said, "Senior brother, your enlightenment in your dream allowed you to see all living beings and transform their hearts into your own. However, your heart is not the same as the hearts of others. It is extremely profound. Using this to forge a path to eliminate the three corpses is a unique approach. I think it can work."

Jieyin laughed and said, "When I saw Houtu incarnate in the cycle of reincarnation before, my fifth senior brother established the Underworld and combined the path of reincarnation with my enlightenment in my dream. This allowed my enlightenment in my dream to reach a higher level, where there is neither the appearance of sentient beings nor the appearance of self. I have reached the state where I am sentient beings and sentient beings are me. Now that I have achieved great success, I can indeed give it a try."

"Before that, junior brother, remember not to be impatient. The Eastern sages are numerous and powerful. It is not an easy thing for us in the West to prosper. Being too impatient will only make us fall into their trap."

"Don't worry, senior brother."

Zhunti nodded and said, "Junior brother understands."

"Um."

Jieyin then swayed and left the original spot to go into seclusion, preparing to try to sever his ego by proving the Dao in a dream.

……

At the same time, just as Jieyin said, seeing that the two disciples of Xuanhuang Sect had such powerful cultivation levels gave the other saints different thoughts.

In the Eight Views Palace on Shouyang Mountain, the sage Laozi was refining a furnace of elixirs. The firelight in the furnace reflected his ever-changing expression.

Suddenly, Laozi stopped refining pills. It turned out that a momentary emotional fluctuation had ruined his batch of pills.

Lao Tzu shook his head but didn't say anything. He poured out the waste pills from the furnace and started refining a new batch of pills.

This time, however, his emotions were no longer fluctuating, and the flames were steady. A faint aroma of medicinal pills gradually wafted from the furnace.

Various strange phenomena formed on the alchemical furnace.
