Primordial Era: A member of the Jie Sect, apprenticed to Tongtian

Meanwhile, the people of Zouyi City were filled with doubt.

"I have been cultivating in Yuanquan Mountain for many years, and I have always relied entirely on myself."

"After becoming the totem of the State of Lu, it has never harmed a single person—how can it be said to have brought chaos to the world?"

Accompanied by a clear and melodious voice.

The crowd of people all saw a Taoist priest in a green robe slowly walking towards them from not far away.

He stood in the void, rising step by step to the sky and arriving in front of Yang Jian and the other person.

And then they heard what Shi Yuan was saying.

How could the people of Lu still not understand who this person is?!

"Is he/she the totem god of the State of Lu?"

"It's the Lord of Yuanquan Mountain!"

People started talking about it.

For some people who had just arrived in the State of Lu, they were naturally unaware of the situation.

But for the people of Lu...

"This... the Lord of Yuanquan Mountain protects the mountains, rivers, and cities of my Lu Kingdom, how could he possibly bring chaos to the world?"

"Yes, yes! My old man recovered from his illness after visiting the Mountain Lord's Temple... The Mountain Lord is a wonderful deity!"

"My severed arm was restored only with the spiritual water given to me by the mountain lord's fairy child—how can these two fiends spout such nonsense?"

Shi Yuan is different from Yang Jian and Nezha.

As a totem that has indeed manifested its power in the State of Lu over the years.

The people of Lu clearly trusted him more.

As for the so-called Heavenly Court deities, they might not be more trustworthy than Shi Yuan, the totem who genuinely helped them.

Yang Jian was slightly taken aback by the reaction of the people of Lu.

He was unaware of the situation; his master, Jade Cauldron Immortal, had ordered him to come to the mortal realm to capture a wicked Taoist priest who was causing chaos in the court.

But unexpectedly, Shi Yuan's reputation in the State of Lu had reached such a level.

However, this would not affect Yang Jian's resolve, given his extensive experience in battle.

He was a celestial general, a disciple of the Chan Sect, and a disciple of Yu Ding.

Having received the Master's decree, it is natural to arrest this person.

"Mid-stage Taiyi True Immortal... Nezha, are you going to make a move?"

Shi Yuan did not conceal his cultivation level, so Yang Jian saw through him at a glance.

He immediately turned his head and asked Nezha in a low voice.

"My cultivation level isn't high enough, so it's pointless... Second Brother, you can handle this."

Nezha shook his head, seemingly uninterested.

He was born with a childlike heart, and his identity was also special.

Although I came here by receiving the decree of the Immortal Taiyi.

But after discovering that Shi Yuan's cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of Taiyi, he lost interest.

If it's a peak Taiyi True Immortal, then he wouldn't mind having a fight to satisfy his craving.

However, a mid-stage Taiyi True Immortal is indeed considered a master in the Three Realms.

But against the two of them, that's not enough.

"it is good."

Yang Jian nodded, and then rode on the clouds to Shi Yuan's side.

"Given that you seem to have done nothing wrong in the world, let me give you a piece of advice."

"Just surrender obediently, and when I take you back to Heaven, I can put in a good word for you."

He said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuan smiled.

He was an immortal of the Jie Sect, while Yang Jian was a member of the Chan Sect.

The Jie Sect might be able to cooperate with the Supreme Saint and resolve their grievances.

However, the Chan Sect and the Buddhist sect are irreconcilable enemies of the Jie Sect.

so...

"I have indeed never done anything evil."

"But you want me to surrender..."

He glanced at Yang Jian and Nezha, chuckled, and shook his head: "You two are still lacking."

"Stubborn to the end!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian no longer hesitated.

With a cold snort, he suddenly swung his three-pointed double-edged sword!

The surging magical power, carrying the might to slay gods and immortals, cleaved straight towards Shi Yuan!

"Buzz!"

The blade trembled, and with a single thrust, it pierced through the surrounding white clouds for miles.

"Boom!"

At that moment, the heavens and earth roared like thunder, accompanied by a surge of gale.

It was this very strike that made him a force to be reckoned with before the Investiture of the Gods.

It was this very strike that cleaved Mount Tao to save his mother.

Within the Three Realms, I'm afraid everyone who witnessed this strike would have to praise it.

In terms of magic power, physical strength, and martial arts, he is first-class in Taiyi.

"Excellent swordsmanship... Second Brother's magical power, supernatural abilities, and physical body have all improved again!"

Nezha, standing to the side, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

He was somewhat envious.

Yang Jian's physical strength, cultivated through the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, gave him a significant advantage in magical combat.

With just this one strike, who below the level of Da Luo could withstand it?

"Second Brother's strike... um!?"

But the next moment, an unprecedented look of horror appeared on Nezha's face!

Because of Yang Jian's incredibly powerful thrust.

Shi Yuan neither dodged nor avoided, but simply raised a finger to meet the blade tip.

And that's precisely what makes Nezha so unbelievable.

Because of the blade of Yang Jian's three-pointed double-edged sword.

When he touched Shi Yuan's fingers.

"clang!"

It produced a sound like metal clashing!

Then, the three-pointed double-edged sword was stopped just like that!

"What!?"

Yang Jian, who knew his own magical powers best, was so shocked that his primordial spirit trembled!

In his mind, what his three-pointed double-edged sword encountered was not a finger.

Instead, it is an insurmountable and indestructible wall of sighs.

You should know that his three-pointed double-edged sword was personally forged by the Jade Cauldron Immortal using Xuan Tie Immortal Gold.

Let alone cutting through steel and iron, even splitting mountains and breaking peaks would be a piece of cake for them.

0.1 But at this moment, it was impossible to cut off even one of Shi Yuan's fingers!

Especially the force coming from the other end of that finger, which he couldn't budge in the slightest.

"you..."

He looked at Shi Yuan in shock, but couldn't utter a single word.

When he looked up, he found that Shi Yuan had vanished without a trace.

In the blink of an eye, he was already standing in front of him.

Even his third eye could only barely detect a trace.

and...

"There's no magic involved; this is pure physical speed!"

Yang Jian instinctively thought of it.

"A contest of magic here would inevitably harm the common people—this is inappropriate."

Shi Yuan, with one hand holding Yang Jian's three-pointed double-edged sword.

At this moment, he chuckled and extended his other hand.

"Let's fight somewhere else!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gently pushed out with his palm.

Yang Jian felt as if the Five Sacred Mountains had all collided with him at that moment.

"Ugh!"

He could only let out a cry of pain, and a mouthful of golden blood spurted from his mouth.

Then, he involuntarily flew directly into the distance!

From the moment Shi Yuan caught the three-pointed double-edged sword to the moment he blasted Yang Jian away with a single palm strike.

Even with Nezha's supernatural powers, he didn't even have time to react!

"Second Brother!"

He could only gasp in surprise.

Then, he saw Shi Yuan smile at him as well: "And the Third Prince... why don't you come along too?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Nezha understood Yang Jian's feelings as well.

He only felt a blur before his eyes, and then he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

Looking down, he saw that Shi Yuan had already kicked him in the stomach.

A sudden, immense force sent him flying into the distance, just like Yang Jian!
