When Liao Zhen fought against Tathagata, he unleashed a power that weighed a million catties, even Tathagata couldn't withstand it. Although he couldn't injure Tathagata, it was still embarrassing. The weight of this Heaven-Turning Seal is even greater. Mount Buzhou was the only peak in the world that could pierce through heaven and earth, and it was incredibly large. Even half of it weighed more than a hundred million catties. Fortunately, Han Fei was vigilant, otherwise, he would have been seriously injured if not killed by this attack.
Forty-four people from the Chan and Er sects joined forces; Yun Zhongzi confronted Confucius.
Upon seeing the Heavenly Seal, all those present recognized its value, and Confucius and Mozi were the first to roar in anger.
"The duel between the two was pre-arranged, and Guang Chengzi's sneak attack using such methods is utterly shameless," Confucius roared.
Guang Chengzi felt no embarrassment at being caught doing something wrong. He said expressionlessly, "You have used such heaven-defying methods, which is against the way of heaven. Fellow Daoist Zhuang is no match for Han Fei. I have used these methods to try to correct your mistakes and prevent a great calamity from befalling you."
Upon hearing this, Mozi scoffed, "In that case, should we thank you?"
Guang Chengzi chuckled slyly, "It's not impossible."
Upon hearing this, Confucius could no longer contain his anger. He leaped into the air and shouted at Guang Chengzi, "You have interfered in their duel without permission and are trying to harm my fellow disciples with such means. You are not worthy of being called a son. If you have the ability, come and fight me first."
Although Guang Chengzi was arrogant, he couldn't actually fight Confucius. Since the battle of the Yellow River Formation, despite his diligent training, his cultivation had only barely recovered to the level of a Taiyi True Immortal, which was even worse than before. Now that Confucius had jumped out to challenge him, it would be a laughing stock if Guang Chengzi didn't make a move, but if he did, he wouldn't be able to win, which would only make him lose face and affect the morale of the Qi army, which would be detrimental to this mission.
Yun Zhongzi stepped forward and shouted, "You are disrupting the workings of Heaven, which is an act against Heaven! Know that under Heaven, every cause has its effect!"
Confucius laughed and said, “Yun Zhongzi, when you and I reach the level of cultivation, you should know that everyone has their own Heavenly Way in their hearts. So why talk about following or going against Heaven? Today, you and I, the two sects of Humanity and Chan, are going to have a battle with Penglai Island no matter what. Why should we act like ordinary people and challenge each other on the battlefield?”
Yun Zhongzi wanted to hear those words, and said, "What you say makes sense, fellow Daoist. However, our strength is insufficient, and we are no match for the three of you. Therefore, we have no choice but to join forces."
Upon hearing this, Mozi wondered what it meant. Join forces? To attack together as a group and still make it sound reasonable was utterly shameless. Mozi then sneered, "You are indeed being honest."
Yun Zhongzi blushed slightly upon hearing this, but his expression remained unchanged. He smiled and said, "The three of you are all renowned figures in the world, so why bother with such formalities?" He then turned to the members of the Chan Sect and said, "We would appreciate your assistance in this matter."
The seven nodded in agreement and stood up to stand with Yun Zhongzi.
Confucius looked at them coldly and said, "In that case, follow me." After saying that, he turned around and flew into the sky, but he was afraid that the fighting among them would affect the soldiers below.
Mozi glanced at the members of the Chan Sect, then turned and flew towards Confucius. Yun Zhongzi and the others exchanged a glance, then winked at Taiyi Zhenren, before turning and flying into the sky. The other seven Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect followed suit.
Once they were in the air, Confucius winked at Mozi and stepped forward to say to Yun Zhongzi, "I should ask you for guidance, fellow Daoist."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongzi understood Confucius's meaning and said, "I dare not." He then took out an object.
Confucius took one look and exclaimed in surprise, "The Pangu Banner!"
Mozi, being an early figure in the world, naturally knew Yun Zhongzi. Upon hearing Confucius's words, he laughed and said, "No! A fake."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongzi felt somewhat embarrassed. He was a well-known weapon-refining enthusiast in the Chan Sect, and he loved to imitate magical treasures. He had always considered himself a master weapon refiner. The things he imitated were actually quite sophisticated, and others who did not know their originals were often intimidated. However, today, Mozi immediately called it a fake, which made Yun Zhongzi feel a bit awkward. What fake? Imitation? Imitation? Imitation master weapon refiner?
Confucius laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are quite skilled."
Yun Zhongzi's expression also became somewhat unnatural. He waved the imitation Pangu Banner and said, "Fellow Daoist, be careful."
Confucius said arrogantly, "Please don't worry about it." If it were the real Pangu Banner, Confucius would have to question it, but as for this counterfeit, Confucius didn't think he could do anything about it.
Although Yun Zhongzi was pleased, he was also aware of his own limitations. He immediately slashed a sword aura at Confucius, but it was not the chaotic energy flow. It was just a sword-shaped gas. Although it could not compare to the Pangu Banner, its aura was quite realistic.
The sword energy sliced through the sky, approaching Confucius with the unique, chaos-splitting momentum of the Pangu Banner. Although it was a counterfeit, it must be said that Yun Zhongzi, the expert in counterfeits, was quite skilled. Confucius now took it seriously, after all, the attack of the Pangu Banner was unparalleled in the world, so even a counterfeit should have some ability.
Confucius raised his hand and unleashed a beam of profound spiritual light, which collided with the sword energy. The two exploded with a deafening roar, the shockwaves dissipating as they passed by. After the initial clash, Confucius realized that although the sword energy was powerful, it was ultimately a counterfeit and not as strong as the genuine article. Therefore, he was no longer afraid.
Confucius took out the Qiankun Ruler and drew it in the air towards Yun Zhongzi, laughing, "It is impolite not to reciprocate." Immediately, the light and shadow of the Qiankun Ruler appeared in the void like a projection, a hundred times larger, heading straight for Yun Zhongzi. However, it was blocked halfway by something. Confucius looked and saw that Yun Zhongzi had taken out another object, which blocked the attack of the Qiankun Ruler. That object was a tower.
"The Exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda of Heaven and Earth!" Confucius was somewhat surprised upon seeing it. He wasn't surprised by Yun Zhongzi's skill in imitating magical artifacts, since even the best technology wouldn't be of much use in a battle between quasi-saints. Rather, he was surprised by the close relationship between the Human and Chan sects. The fact that even Laozi could have the Xuanhuang Pagoda imitated by Yun Zhongzi showed just how powerful they were.
