Chapter 608 Seeking Death, Sincere Invitation

Four giant sword shadows stood erect in the sky, like towering pillars, their faces gleaming with cyan and gray runes. The wind died, the clouds stagnated, even time seemed to have stopped flowing. The sky dimmed, and a murderous aura filled the air.

The Glazed Buddha would never make a mistake, or rather, all the cultivators would recognize these four terrifying immortal swords - the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, the most precious treasure left by Venerable Tianhe, a peerless formation that dominated an era.

"How did the Immortal Execution Sword Formation end up in the hands of the Nine Mountains Sect?"

The Glazed Buddha rushed out of the sea, looked at the Four Swords of Zhu Xian carefully, and then said in confusion.

Everyone was naturally clueless, but Cangming Dragon King was the first to react: "The Devil Ancestor of Creation has been tricked! The Jiushan Sect had already hidden the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, waiting for him to come in?"

Golden light shone in the Glazed Buddha's eyes as he looked towards the Nine Mountains Realm, seemingly trying to gauge the strength of the Immortal Executioner Sword Formation. He then nodded and said, "The Nine Mountains Sect uses low-level cultivators to set up the formation. If it weren't for this Taoist Priest of Creation's recklessness, they wouldn't have been trapped in it."

He immediately saw the biggest problem with the Zhu Xian Sword Formation - its short legs.

With the speed of Yan Wushuang and the others, it is simply a pipe dream to catch up with a Golden Immortal like Taoist Zaohua.

But now it’s different.

In order to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Taoist Zaohua rushed into the Zhuxian Sword Formation!

"So, Taoist Zaohua has fallen for our plan?" Cangming Dragon King asked in surprise. "Does that mean the Jiushan Sect is going to win?"

"No!" But the Glazed Buddha sneered, "They are seeking their own death by taking out the Immortal Execution Sword Formation."

After saying that, he raised his hand and shot a golden communication talisman towards the southeast, as if he was communicating with someone.

The Cangming Dragon King was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask. Instead, he asked a Bodhisattva who had followed the Glazed Buddha eastward, "Why did the Buddha say they were seeking their own death?"

"The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, the Nine Nether Emperor, and the Dao Fruit Iron Rule have been invalidated." The Glazed Buddha sneered, "Can the Nine Mountain Sect bear the consequences of this?"

The Cangming Dragon King was deeply shocked when he heard this, and then suddenly realized: "What the Buddha said is absolutely true!"

"The Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds established the cycle of reincarnation, severing our path to Dao Fruit immortality. He's already the enemy of all Dao Fruits," the Glazed Buddha continued. "Unfortunately, he's in the underworld, and with his Taiyi cultivation, we can't do anything to him. Yet, who wouldn't hate him to the core?"

Cangming Dragon King nodded repeatedly.

Anger was also evident on the faces of the other Bodhisattvas and Arhats.

Ever since Emperor Jiuyou attained enlightenment, the Dao Fruit has been in danger of death. Who wouldn't be in constant fear?

In other words, Emperor Jiuyou was too powerful and they had no way to deal with him.

If I can’t defeat Emperor Jiuyou, can I still defeat your Jiushan Sect?

"But now that the Jiushan Sect has brought out the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, it's revealed their connection to the Nine Nether Emperor and Venerable Tianhe." Cangming Dragon King couldn't help but continue, "If they weren't someone very close to the Nine Nether Emperor, how could they have obtained the Immortal Execution Sword Formation?"

"That's not all." Liuli Buddha recalled, "Back then, Emperor Jiuyou set up the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation in the Tianhe Sect. The Mahayana Buddha entered the formation with his Dharmakāya, and was about to achieve Daluo, but his Dharmakāya was destroyed by a single sword strike, and his efforts were thwarted at the last moment."

"The Mahayana Buddha once said that there was a mysterious person helping the Nine Nether Emperor in the formation. If it weren't for this person's repeated obstruction, the Nine Nether Emperor would not have been able to achieve enlightenment!"

Upon hearing this, the Cangming Dragon King became even more horrified: "Your Excellency, are you saying that person is Zheng Fa?"

The Glazed Buddha looked up at the four giant swords in the sky and sneered, "Besides him, who else can control the Immortal Execution Sword Formation? You are the Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds, would you give the Immortal Execution Sword Formation to anyone casually?"

Cangming Dragon King nodded repeatedly.

"If Zheng Fa hadn't made such a great contribution, how could such a treasure be in the Nine Mountains Realm?"

"Even if it's not him, since he's holding the Immortal Executioner Sword Formation, it can only be him!"

Although what the Glazed Buddha said was just a guess, everyone found it credible when they heard it. At this moment, a white talisman came from afar and fell into the hands of the Glazed Buddha.

The Glazed Buddha took the talisman, took a look at it, and laughed: "Now, even the Supreme Dao has given up the Nine Mountains Sect!"

Cangming Dragon King was invigorated, and then he realized that the Glass Buddha was conveying a message to the Supreme Taoist.

I think it is talking about the relationship between Zheng Fa and Emperor Jiuyou.

The Glazed Buddha pinched the talisman between his fingers and smiled, "Zheng Fa got involved in this matter and offended almost all the Dao Fruits. How could those people of the Supreme Dao not be angry?"

"Xuan Chengzi sent me a message saying that the ownership of the purple energy can be discussed later, but they will not take any action."

"They won't take action?" Cangming Dragon King's expression lit up as he understood. "What they mean is that they won't rescue the Jiushan Sect, but they don't want us to take the Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

The Glazed Buddha laughed and said, "These people from the Supreme Dao are truly hypocritical! But as long as they don't interfere, I have nothing to fear!"

After saying that, he turned around and flew towards the Nine Mountains Realm in the southeast.

Cangming Dragon King and others followed closely behind, feeling excited, knowing that what the Glass Buddha was worried about was Tai Shang Dao. Now Tai Shang Dao was watching from the sidelines, seemingly not helping either side, but in fact he had already made a decision.

The Buddha naturally had no more worries.

In this way, as long as the Jiushan Sect is destroyed, the Shuyu Dragon Lord will lose his support and will naturally not be his opponent!

The group walked very fast and arrived at Xuanwei Sea in just four or five breaths.

Here, Xie Qingxue was leading the Shenxiao fleet, stubbornly resisting a dozen Dao Fruits.

The light pillars formed a net on the sea. The Shenxiao fleet followed the Qingping Sword, defending but not attacking, and managed to block the five true immortals.

Even if there was a slight oversight, there was still the Jade Dragon Lord, who was more powerful than ordinary True Immortals in the sea. With the cooperation of both sides, they actually kept the enemy out of Dongzhou.

However, the expressions of the disciples of the Shenxiao Fleet were not good. If they defended for too long, they would lose. Their cultivation was low, and they would suffer huge losses after a long battle.

They faced many enemies and were under tremendous psychological pressure. They could only hold on, and even seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

As the commander of the fleet, Xie Qingxue had heavy responsibilities. The spiritual energy in her body gradually dried up, her arms trembled, and her vision went black.

But when she saw a true immortal rushing towards a warship, she still gave a light shout, summoned up her last few bits of magic power, and stood in front of the other party.

But she was already at the end of her strength.

The Qingping Sword flew backwards, and Xie Qingxue's whole body went limp, almost falling into the sea.

"Thank you, Elder!"

Seeing the Qingping Sword flying out, the disciples on the warship behind her cried out in alarm, anxious and worried, seeing that they were unable to rescue her in time.

The true immortal was right in front of her. Xie Qingxue felt that the immortal power of the other party was like waves hitting her face, bringing with it the sound of whistling wind. She seemed to smell the breath of death in this wind.

Xie Qingxue closed her eyes.

But death did not come for a long time.

Xie Qingxue opened her eyes, only to see that the five True Immortals who had been attacking so fiercely just now were now far away from them for some unknown reason, looking towards the northwest with fear.

Xie Qingxue looked over there.

Golden light filled the sea, and a group of people flew from the north. They were none other than the Glazed Buddha and his entourage.

The Glazed Buddha glanced at the two warring parties, and before he could say anything, the True Immortal who had almost killed Xie Qingxue just now lowered his head, trembling with fear, and even dared not look directly at the Glazed Buddha.

Xie Qingxue was shocked. Her cultivation level was low and she couldn't tell other people's cultivation level, but looking at the situation, she had an idea in her mind.

The Jade Dragon Lord emerged from the sea, his face pale, and said respectfully, "Greetings to the Glazed Buddha."

The Glazed Buddha nodded slightly and did not return the greeting. However, the Cangming Dragon King standing behind him grinned and smiled at the Shuyu Dragon Lord.

Xie Qingxue only knew the identity of the young monk when she heard the name Shuyu Dragon Lord. Of course, she would not doubt Shuyu Dragon Lord - not to mention that the other party was the closest ally of Jiushan Sect. After all, Shuyu Dragon Lord had a special background and was familiar with the top leaders of the four sects, which was a natural thing.

The Glazed Buddha didn't even say a word, but none of the Dao Fruits present dared to take action.

The Jade Dragon Lord continued, "I wonder what business the Buddha has come to the East for?"

"Why ask when you already know the answer?" The Glazed Buddha chuckled. "I want to go to the Nine Mountains Realm."

The face of Lord Shuyulong turned even paler.

"Now that the Supreme Dao has abandoned the Jiushan Sect, you still insist on being stubborn? Will you be buried with the Jiushan Sect?"

The Lord of Shuyu Dragon remained silent.

The Glazed Buddha uttered a very light sneer, not caring about her, and walked towards the Nine Mountains Realm.

A figure stood in front of him.

Xie Qingxue held the Qingping sword in her hand, her face was pale, her spine was straight, her eyes were calm, and she said nothing.

The Glass Buddha stopped and seemed surprised.

The True Immortals in the distance who had just fought a life-and-death battle with Xie Qingxue looked at Xie Qingxue with very complicated eyes, some mocking, but also some lingering emotions of emotion.

"You want to stop me?" The Glazed Buddha's tone was full of surprise.

"It's my duty." Xie Qingxue's voice was very soft. She seemed not to have fully recovered yet and was trembling slightly. It was unclear whether it was due to weakness or fear. However, she did not retreat, but looked directly at the Glazed Buddha. "Without permission, no cultivator may enter the territory of the Hundred Immortals Alliance."

The Glazed Buddha's gaze shifted to the Qingping Sword, as if recognizing it. He was even more surprised: "You don't seem to be from the Jiushan Sect? Are you from the Tianhe Sect?"

"I am the disciple of the previous Tianhe Sect Master, and now I am the elder of the Jiushan Sect."

The Glazed Buddha opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask something, but looking at Xie Qingxue's expression, he seemed to understand and sneered, "Nine Mountain Sect actually let you, a member of the Tianhe Sect, come and die."

Specks of light lit up from the sea, purple-blue, making the water seem even darker.

The Shenxiao Fleet floated behind Xie Qingxue. Thousands of disciples in the fleet were speechless. The light from the warships enveloped Xie Qingxue, making it impossible to tell them apart.

The Glazed Buddha pursed his lips slightly, and the Jade Dragon Lord sighed softly and stood beside Xie Qingxue.

"Is the Dragon Lord so unwise?"

"The Dragon Ancestor's covenant is above, and my descendants are still in the Nine Mountains." The Jade Dragon Lord's expression was a little bitter, but also a little relieved. "I hope the Buddha will forgive me."

The Glazed Buddha was silent for a while, then suddenly chuckled and said, "A man from the Tianhe Sect and a man from the Ancient Dragon Clan, both are willing to die for the Jiushan Sect..."

His tone was very soft, but others who listened could only feel the emotions surging in his heart.

"That Zheng Fa..." Liuli Buddha's tone turned cold, filled with murderous intent, "He is so good at deceiving people, he is indeed a great threat."

Xie Qingxue seemed not to have heard this. She held the Qingping Sword across her chest and said loudly, "Please tell me your purpose, Buddha. I will pass it on. Otherwise, please stop."

The Glass Buddha was about to laugh when he heard this, but suddenly he looked up at the sky.

A grey shadow leaped out from the Nine Mountains Realm, seemingly fleeing for its life. It was none other than Taoist Creation.

In the Nine Mountains Realm, a chorus of shouts rang out: "Kill!"

The immortal sword hanging high in the eastern sky suddenly shone brightly with the command and slashed straight at the Taoist Master Zaohua.

The Taoist's flying figure seemed frozen, time stopped, everything was still. Only the sword shadow cut through the sky and landed on the flesh ball.

The flesh ball of Taoist Zaohua suddenly exploded and shot out in all directions. Although his breath was faint, everyone could see that he still had some life.

The flesh ball dispersed into dense, spore-like dust particles that were invisible to the naked eye and tried to escape with the wind.

"trap!"

When the second command sounded, the immortal sword in the south shook, turned in a circle in the void, and turned into a black hole.

From the depths of the black hole, only a shrill and desperate roar was heard.

Everyone stared at it in amazement.

The four giant swords in the sky slowly dissipated, and the Taoist Master of Creation disappeared as well. Everything seemed like a dream.

Hundreds of cultivators carrying swords flew out from the Nine Mountains Realm, with Jian Dao Shen in front and the four sword masters following behind. Xie Qingxue searched the crowd and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Yan Wushuang was safe and sound.

At this time, someone finally spoke.

"Two swords?" Cangming Dragon King murmured softly, "Two swords killed a Golden Immortal? Is the Immortal Executioner Sword Formation really that powerful?"

No one answered, because everyone had the answer, and he knew it in his heart - the previous Zhu Xian Sword Formation was definitely not so powerful!

Even if we count the time that Taoist Zaohua entered the Nine Mountains Realm, it would definitely not exceed two incense sticks!

A Golden Immortal, a Golden Immortal who is so high and mighty among the five sects, just died like that?

If the Immortal Execution Sword Formation of Emperor Jiuyou had this power, the four sects wouldn't have to fight at all!

Can……

It was really hard for the Dragon King Cangming to understand why the Jiushan Sect's Zhuxian Sword Formation could leave a Golden Immortal like the Taoist Zaohua without even a chance to escape!

The Glazed Buddha said that the Jiushan Sect was seeking death by taking out the Zhuxian Sword Formation, but if this sword formation can kill Golden Immortals as easily as killing a chicken, then who will send them to their doom?

He quietly looked at the Glazed Buddha and saw that the Glazed Buddha's eyes were still fixed on the direction of the Nine Mountains Realm, with golden light in his eyes, as if he was searching for the whereabouts of the Taoist Master of Creation.

The Dragon King Cangming understood that the Buddha not only did not expect it, but even did not want to believe it.

After half an incense stick of time, they heard the Glazed Buddha speak again: "I have come here at the behest of the Mahayana Buddha to invite fellow Daoist Zheng Fa of the Nine Mountains Sect to participate in the Daluo Dharma Assembly."

The tone is polite and the expression is sincere.

The Cangming Dragon King and the Bodhisattvas and Arhats behind him all lowered their heads, as if they had forgotten what the Buddha said before he came.

"Please pass it on."

Xie Qingxue pursed her lips, took out the Tongjian with a stern face, and sent a letter to the door. After a long while, she hesitated and said apologetically:

"Please wait a moment, Buddha."

Even though the Glazed Buddha swallowed his words, he couldn't help but feel a little angry at this moment. Seeing his expression, Xie Qingxue hurriedly explained: "The war in the sect has not yet ended. I really can't spare the time to receive you, Buddha."

The war is not over yet?

Isn’t the Taoist of Creation dead?

What war is there?

The Glazed Buddha looked up and saw the sword-doctor leading those sword-do disciples rushing towards the east.

Look at their target - Haori Mountain?
