Meanwhile, Lu Ya, seeing the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect being captured one by one and trapped in the "Yellow River Formation," grew increasingly anxious. He knew that if the Three Immortals of Sanxiao dealt with the Chan Sect's Golden Immortals, he would be next. At this moment, he was blocked by Cang Jie, whose attacks frustrated him greatly. Frustrated, he used the Rainbow Transformation Technique to evade Cang Jie's attacks, then slapped his head, revealing auspicious clouds above. A three-legged golden crow appeared on top of it. Lu Ya let out a strange cry, and the golden crow swallowed a sliver of true solar fire and attacked Cang Jie. Seeing that the attack was unstoppable, Cang Jie had no choice but to dodge. But as soon as he dodged, another sliver of true solar fire came his way, forcing him to dodge again. In this flurry of attacks, he had no time to attack Lu Ya and could only desperately evade.
Suddenly, two beams of white light shot out and immobilized Cangjie's Niwan Palace. Cangjie felt somewhat dizzy. Then, a voice said, "Please turn around, my treasure." A beam of white light shot out from Lu Ya's gourd and attacked Cangjie. Cangjie had heard Xuan Tian say that the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife was powerful. He had previously dodged the True Fire of the Sun and was caught off guard by Lu Ya's sneak attack. His Niwan Palace was immobilized by Lu Ya. However, Cangjie had a talisman given to him by Xuan Tian in his Niwan Palace. When he was initially immobilized, the talisman broke through the white light and Cangjie woke up. He saw the white light shooting towards him and was so shocked that he had no way to dodge. He could only show the three flowers on the top of his head and emit a protective immortal light to block it.
The white light swirled wildly around Cangjie, but couldn't penetrate it for the time being. Cangjie smiled bitterly to himself, realizing he had been caught off guard and attacked. He could only secretly exert his strength to block the attack of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife. The white light that the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife had transformed into was actually Taiyi's refinement of the Great Witch's essence using a secret demonic technique, shaped like an infant. When attacking, it first released two beams of white light to immobilize the person's Niwan Palace, causing them to faint, and then attacked in the form of an infant. With just one turn, it could sever the person, and neither the primordial spirit nor the physical body could defend against it.
Cangjie was trapped and his magical power was greatly depleted, but he wouldn't be seriously injured for the time being. However, the depletion was too great, and he was somewhat overwhelmed. He was furious and took out the pills given to him by Xuantian and put them in his mouth. These pills were no ordinary things; they were refined by Xuantian from withered wood fruits. Eating one pill would grant him a moment's worth of magical power. In his moment of crisis, Cangjie ignored Xuantian's warning and took out a bottle of thirteen pills and ate them. Under normal circumstances, the magical power of these pills would have been enough to make him burst. Fortunately, today, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife was constantly eroding Cangjie's magical power, and on the other hand, the pills were replenishing it. The magical power being eroded was Cangjie's own magical power, while the magical power of the pills was absorbed by Cangjie. Between the loss and gain, Cangjie was spared from death and also gained some benefits, with his magical power rapidly increasing.
Ultimately, his power was finite. Cangjie's anger was uncontrollable; his eyes turned bloodshot, filled with malice, and his mind seemed to teem with endless evil. Strange flames suddenly erupted from his body. Lu Ya cried out in alarm. The flames on Cangjie's body were the karmic fire. While Cangjie's power had surged due to the large amount of pills he had consumed, it had also stirred up his inner demons. With Lu Ya, a formidable enemy, before him, Cangjie harbored hatred for Lu Ya, and a wicked desire arose within him to kill him. This inner demon unleashed its karmic power, burning fiercely. However, Cangjie's mind was preoccupied with this, and he was oblivious. Lu Ya, meanwhile, chuckled strangely. With Cangjie's inner demons activated, even the Immortal-Slaying Flying Daggers could not kill him; instead, they were consumed by the inner demons and died.
Just as Cangjie was being attacked from both sides and a thousand evil thoughts were brewing in his mind, a cool breeze suddenly rushed into his brain. Cangjie's mind suddenly became clear, and something seemed to have appeared in his mind. A white light flashed on his body, and a person jumped out. The person blocked the white light transformed from the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife. Cangjie quickly jumped out, bowed to Lu Ya, and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."
Lu Ya, standing to the side, was stunned. He never expected that Cangjie would actually sever the corpse at this moment.
Forty-six Cangjie severed the corpse, and Yuanshi descended to the mortal realm.
Meanwhile, the Three Immortals set up the "Yellow River Formation" to fight against the Chan Sect. Lu Ya was afraid that the Three Immortals would come to cause him trouble, so he wanted to help the Chan Sect, but was stopped by Cangjie. After a fierce battle between the two, Cangjie took the opportunity to sever one of his corpses and achieve the cultivation of a quasi-saint.
However, after Cangjie created the characters, he received great merit and raised his cultivation to the Great Luo Loose Immortal realm in one fell swoop. Later, although he received many benefits and his cultivation rose to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the advancement was too fast and his foundation was unstable. This is the most taboo thing in cultivation. Therefore, although Cangjie had great merit, he did not sever his corpse for more than a thousand years.
Since he began cultivating, Cangjie had never participated in any battles. In addition, he was kind-hearted and had no grudges against anyone. He could be said to be a person without karma. If he continued to cultivate in this way, he would never be able to eliminate his evil corpse in his lifetime. The reason he did not eliminate the corpse before was because Xuantian did not allow him to do so, because his foundation was not very stable. For more than a thousand years, Cangjie spent most of his time improving his cultivation and honing his magical power.
Xuan Tian summoned him this time for two reasons: first, to resolve the karmic entanglement in one area, and second, to allow him to use this karmic entanglement to sever his corpse.
The cause and effect, this cause and effect belongs to Xuan Tian. Back then, Xuan Tian killed Di Jun, and now only Lu Ya remains of the Three-Legged Golden Crow. This cause and effect is not insignificant. However, Xuan Tian himself is a saint, so he is not afraid of this cause and effect falling on his head. Lu Ya would not be foolish enough to seek out Xuan Tian to resolve the cause and effect. Therefore, this cause and effect naturally falls on the head of Xuan Tian's disciple. In the future, when Lu Ya takes over the Western Sect and becomes the Great Sun Tathagata, he will probably cause trouble for the disciples of Penglai Island. Currently, among the four disciples of Penglai Island, only Cang Jie has not yet severed his corpse, so Cang Jie was sent out.
As mentioned earlier, Cangjie himself was kind and had no evil intentions, so it wouldn't be easy for him to sever his evil corpse. Xuantian then used Lu Ya to successfully arouse Cangjie's evil intentions, allowing him to sever the evil corpse in one fell swoop. In this process, from Cangjie's initial move to being trapped by the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, to Cangjie's heavy drug use, and finally severing the corpse, not a single step could have been missed. More importantly, Cangjie had the spiritual treasure, the Cleansing Soul Tablet, bestowed upon him by Xuantian. This item wasn't particularly useful, but at the crucial moment, it pulled Cangjie's mind out of his control, preventing him from being entangled by his inner demons, and ultimately allowing him to sever the corpse.
