The Primordial Era: Starting with Jingwei Filling the Sea

Chapter 228 The Arrival of the Lamp

The Old Man of the South Pole was completely dumbfounded.

The ruthlessness and domineering nature of the Qingcheng Mountain lineage amazed him.

The matter between the Crane Clan and the Fire Dragon Fruit Clan was originally a minor issue. As long as the Qingcheng Mountain lineage was willing to discuss it with him, the big problem could be turned into a small one, and the small problem could be resolved amicably.

In the primordial world, there are countless races that can be used for alchemy. The Antarctic Immortal wouldn't be so foolish as to insist on fighting the Jie Sect to the death.

After all, the current leader of the Jie Sect is not someone to be trifled with!

However, the Qingcheng Mountain lineage did the opposite. Not only did they not intend to settle the matter peacefully, they also wanted to escalate it to the level of a conflict between the Dao and the Demonic.

"Stop spouting false accusations!"

The Antarctic Immortal trembled with rage. Laws of longevity flew from his head, and countless illusory peaches appeared around him. "Herbs and trees are the greatest medicine; this is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth! The Crane Clan's actions follow the principles of nature and are most in accordance with the Way of Heaven. You, as immortals of the Jie Sect, are making a mountain out of a molehill. Do you really think my Chan Sect has no one left?"

Although he knew that arguing was pointless, the Old Man of the South Pole still wanted to stall for time.

The number of disciples in the Chan Sect was relatively small, and their relationships were simpler. A network of teleportation arrays was established between the various Chan Sect training centers.

As long as other powerful figures of the Chan Sect receive his divine incense message, they can reach Huangshan as quickly as possible via the teleportation array.

Although the Qingcheng Mountain lineage has many Grand Luo Golden Immortals, they are all newly established Grand Luo cultivators. Even with Fang Yang's support and the advantage of the Chaos Spirit Spring, the highest-ranking among them, Daojun Qianyao, has only broken through to the mid-stage of Grand Luo.

With such cultivation, no matter how many people there are, they are no match for the Chan Sect.

Unfortunately, the Antarctic Immortal overlooked some things. The greatest strength of the disciples of the Intercepting Sect was not their cultivation level, but their mastery of formations.

Formations often enable the weak to overcome the strong and challenge opponents of higher levels.

The Grand Luo Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect are indeed highly qualified, but if they were to actually go to war with the Qingcheng Mountain lineage, their chances of winning wouldn't be very high.

Even the Chan Sect had to seek help from all over, borrow magical treasures, and even sacrifice immortals to break the Ten Deadly Formations. The Qingcheng Mountain lineage, on the other hand, had received the true teachings of the Tongtian Sect Master on formations, and the formations they set up were not something the Ten Deadly Formations could easily defeat.

Above the sky, Daoist Nine Luminaries had already made his move.

Nine array flags flew out from each of them, and all eighty-one array flags were activated. The Nine Palaces and Nine Luminaries evolved into countless microcosms. These countless microcosms collided and exploded, and a hazy array was created.

Instantly, the entire Huangshan Mountain seemed to have fallen into a chaotic world, with endless chaotic energy churning in the sky, and terrifying chaotic forces surging and roaring within it.

An overwhelming pressure descended, and time and space in Huangshan seemed to freeze. Even the river of fate began to freeze and cease its flow.

Of course, the River of Destiny will not freeze. This phenomenon occurs because the power of chaos is too strong, freezing the originally operating laws of destiny.

The Nine-Nine Limitless Formation!

This grand formation was personally crafted by the Tongtian Sect Leader. Its power surpasses even the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

If the Nine Luminaries Dao Lords were to use their combined power, even a powerhouse at the early stage of Quasi-Saint would be unable to break through it.

However, the Nine Luminaries Dao Lords did not immediately attack the Antarctic Immortal. They not only wanted to suppress the Antarctic Immortal, but also to suppress the disciples of the Chan Sect who had come to cause trouble.

They wanted to resolve the issue once and for all. They wanted to guarantee that after today, the Chan Sect would absolutely not dare to attack the Jie Sect.

If the other disciples of the Chan Sect are not subdued and terrified, incidents like the one involving the Fire Dragon Fruit Clan will continue to occur. They won't have time to come knocking on each and every one of them.

The chaotic energy surged, and its sheer pressure caused countless mountains to collapse. Looking at the great array above his head, the Antarctic Immortal felt a surge of powerlessness wash over him.

He stared intently at the hazy, massive array above his head, his eyes filled with disbelief: "What kind of array is this? It can actually evolve chaos?"

He cultivated the Dao of Longevity and was most skilled at preserving his life, but faced with this great formation before him, he lost confidence.

"You brat from the Jie Sect, how dare you be so insolent!"

Suddenly, deep within the Huangshan Mountains, a divine light rose again.

The Taoist Ran Deng, holding a glass lamp, descended through the air. Behind him, the immortals of the Chan Sect, including Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, and Yu Ding Zhenren, all appeared, their faces solemn.

Seeing the reinforcements arrive, the Antarctic Immortal's tense heart suddenly relaxed: "Teacher Burning Lamp, come quickly to help me! The Intercepting Sect disregards the bonds of the Xuanmen, framed me without cause, and even set up a vicious formation to harm me!"

The Daoist Ran Deng's gaze swept over the Nine-Nine Limitless Formation, his brows furrowed. He said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoists of the Intercepting Sect, we are all great masters of the Xuanmen. Why must we fight each other? If there is any misunderstanding, let's clear it up."

He didn't really want to come, but he couldn't ignore the old man of the South Pole's plea for help.

Upon seeing the main figures arrive, Chaotian Daojun and the others became serious. This time, they were determined to terrify the Chan Sect, for only by intimidating them could the Jie Sect achieve lasting peace.

Fang Yang once taught them that if you strike once, you'll avoid a hundred blows in the future.

Chaotian Daojun smiled broadly: "Fellow Daoists of the Chan Sect, you have come at the right time. Please join forces with us quickly to suppress this traitorous demonic cultivator, Antarctic Immortal."

The immortals of the Chan Sect were all baffled upon hearing this. They looked at the Antarctic Immortal with confusion, wondering when he had become a spy for the demonic path.

However, the way Chaotian Daojun spoke was so confident and didn't seem like he was lying.

Cihang Zhenren, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, and Puxian Zhenren looked at each other. They had experience spreading the Tao together with the Qingcheng Mountain lineage and had a close relationship with each other.

They believed that the Qingcheng Mountain lineage would not wrong the Antarctic Immortal without reason.

"Junior Brother Antarctica, what exactly happened?"

"Master Cihang asked."

The Antarctic Immortal's face turned pale and then red as he was questioned. He dared not admit his words in front of his fellow disciples: "Senior Brother, I am truly innocent. Some scoundrels have emerged from the Crane Clan. To enhance their cultivation, they threw immortals from the Fire Dragon Fruit Clan into their alchemy furnaces and refined them into pills. I knew nothing of this before the arrival of you fellow Daoists from the Intercepting Sect. If you had known, Junior Brother, you certainly would not have allowed such a thing to happen."

"Unexpectedly, the fellow Daoists of the Jie Sect misunderstood my junior brother. They actually believed that I was a spy of the demonic path, and that I deliberately let the Crane Clan harm my fellow Daoists in the immortal realm."

As he spoke, the Old Man of the South Pole became quite animated, feigning grievance.

Upon hearing this, the immortals of the Chan Sect relaxed slightly. Since it was a misunderstanding, it was easy to resolve.

Burning Lamp Daoist steeled himself and looked at Qian Yao Daoist: "Fellow Daoist, we already know the whole story. Junior Brother Antarctica did indeed fail in his duties, but he is definitely not a spy for the demonic path. Our Chan Sect is willing to pay a great deal of merit to resurrect those Fire Dragon Fruit Clan immortals who were killed by the Crane Clan, and to use rare and precious materials to enhance their foundations."

The powerful beings who rescue people from the river of fate expend merit. The more powerful the resurrected being, and the heavier the karma it carries, the more merit must be expended.

The laws of nature will not allow the resurrection of living beings without paying a price.

The Taoist Ran Deng's words were full of sincerity.
