Seeing Xiao He and Cao Shen assist him, Wang Tianjun temporarily recovered. He swallowed a magic pill to suppress his injuries and then attacked again with his sword. Meanwhile, Ran Deng, seeing his Qiankun Ruler fall, panicked and could no longer conceal his strength. He took out his Purple Gold Bowl and threw it into the air. The bowl grew larger in the wind, becoming ten feet in size, continuously absorbing the red water. The Red Water Array's attack temporarily slowed. Wang Tianjun, in a panic, was about to knock the bowl away when Ran Deng took out a pagoda called the Exquisite Pagoda, a thirty-three-layered, acquired spiritual treasure with twenty-four layers of restrictions. Ran Deng hurled the pagoda at Wang Tianjun, who, caught off guard, was struck, his crown chakra shattering. Panicked, Wang Tianjun's nascent soul escaped his body, about to fly away, when a burst of golden fire struck. The nascent soul couldn't dodge and was instantly incinerated. However, he was destined to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods; although his primordial spirit was destroyed, a portion of his true spirit was still incorporated into the Investiture of the Gods.
Seeing Wang Tianjun dead, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were terrified and tried to escape. Randeng then smashed the exquisite pagoda at Cao Bao again. Cao Bao couldn't dodge in time, and his body was crushed into mud. A wisp of his true spirit was added to the Investiture of the Gods. Xiao Sheng cried out in grief and slashed at Randeng with his sword. Randeng sneered and made a loud grabbing motion. A giant hand formed from primordial energy grabbed Xiao Sheng, crushing him into a pulp amidst his terrified cries. A wisp of his true spirit was added to the Investiture of the Gods. However, in his grief, Xiao Sheng had lost his reason, and Randeng, seeing the opening, killed him directly.
Xiao Sheng died, and the Qiankun Ruler he had picked up naturally fell out. At this time, Wang Tianjun was dead, and the Red Water Formation was broken, revealing a new world. Randeng was about to take back the Qiankun Ruler with a large hand formed from his primordial energy when a golden light flashed from afar, cutting the large hand in half. Another golden light directly absorbed the Qiankun Ruler. Randeng was furious when he saw this. He looked up and saw: "Her hair was styled in double buns, her virtue was pure; she wore a red robe with a white crane on her head and a tassel on her head; a silk ribbon bound her in the Qiankun Knot; and she wore hemp shoes with auspicious colors on her feet."
He split the earth and opened the heavens to attain the Dao, and refined his true form within the Three Immortal Islands.
All six qi and three corpses have been cast aside; the blue phoenix, though only a stone's throw away, departs from the Jade Capital.
It was the Three Immortals and their companions. In addition to the Three Immortals, there were four other people who came: one was Fairy Caiyun, another was Fairy Hanzhi, one was Shen Gongbao, and the last one was Cangjie from Penglai Island.
Meanwhile, the Three Immortals of the Clouds, along with Shen Yibao, encountered Fairy Caiyun and Fairy Hanzhi on the way. Upon hearing that Zhao Gongming had died for Lu Ya, the two wept bitterly and requested to come together to avenge him. The Three Immortals of the Clouds readily agreed and accompanied them. After traveling for a while, they sent someone to compose a song, which went as follows: "I am a guest of Penglai Immortal Island, I once studied the true Dao under the Holy Father; I have countless great principles in my heart, and my pen can write for a thousand autumns."
A Taoist priest appeared, riding on a cloud. He wore a blue turban, a plain blue robe, and blue shoes. When he came closer, he bowed to the group and said, "Cangjie, a disciple of Penglai Island, greets you fellow Daoists."
Yunxiao was surprised. Why was Cangjie here? She took a closer look at Cangjie and secretly praised him. She knew that Cangjie had only been cultivating for a thousand years or so. He had already achieved the position of Great Luo Golden Immortal when he was still Xuanyuan. Although she did not know how much progress he had made now, she could not tell his cultivation level at a glance. She was somewhat envious.
Yunxiao's talent is truly exceptional, comparable to any of the disciples from Penglai Island. However, he lacks the same opportunities as those from Penglai Island. Since joining the Tongtian Sect, his cultivation has grown rapidly. Thanks to the merits of the Imperial Tutor, Yunxiao has already reached the rank of Great Luo Golden Immortal. Although he hasn't broken through in recent years, it's still quite remarkable. He's just waiting for the right opportunity to sever one of his physical bodies and become a Primordial Immortal, a Quasi-Saint.
Yunxiao knew Cangjie's background. The two were of the same generation, and Yunxiao had entered the Taoist sect before Cangjie. However, Cangjie had performed great deeds, and Yunxiao dared not be disrespectful to him for his great merit in creating characters. When Cangjie greeted him, Yunxiao also bowed and asked, "What brings you here, True Lord?" The others also bowed in greeting.
Cangjie said, "We are one family, Your Highness, there is no need for such formalities." He was referring to the relationship between Xuantian and Tongtian, who were both transformed from Pangu, so they were naturally considered one family. Yunxiao and the others did not say anything about this.
Cangjie continued, “I have come here on the orders of my master. My master said that the Investiture of the Gods is a matter concerning the Daoist sect. Those in the Daoist sect who have not severed their three corpses are all within the calamity. Although Penglai Island does not establish a sect, it is still part of the Daoist lineage and cannot escape it. Today, Cangjie has come to complete the calamity so that he can enjoy peace and quiet afterward.”
Yunxiao bowed again and asked, "Does the True Lord know what calamity this is?"
Cangjie said, "I don't know either. I only know that my master ordered me to go to Xiqi with the Empress. When the tribulation comes, I will naturally undergo it." After saying that, Yunxiao and the others agreed and went to Xiqi together. When they arrived, they saw that the Red Water Formation had been broken by Randeng and Xiao Sheng had died. Qiongxiao was angry that he had stolen Zhao Gongming's magic weapon. However, she was unwilling to give up. Seeing that Randeng was about to take back the Qiankun Ruler, she took the Golden Dragon Scissors and took Randeng away. Yunxiao used the Hunyuan Golden Bucket to absorb the Qiankun Ruler.
Meanwhile, when Ran Deng broke the Red Water Formation, the Spirit Treasure Qiankun Ruler was knocked away by Cao Bao and now fell into Yun Xiao's hands.
Seeing the spiritual treasure fall into Yunxiao's hands, Randeng was naturally unwilling. Although the Qiankun Ruler was not very useful, it was still a primordial spiritual treasure. He already had few spiritual treasures, so how could he be willing to lose another one?
Randeng stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting to Yunxiao, and said, "I wonder what brings Your Highness here? Please return the magical treasure in your hand to me."
Before Yunxiao could speak, Bixiao spoke up, saying, "You old thief Ran Deng, you stole my elder brother's spiritual treasure. This grudge will be avenged today. If you want this treasure back, forget about it." Yunxiao saw that Bixiao had spoken, but he didn't say anything and just stood aside, though his face conveyed the same meaning.
Ran Deng was immediately enraged, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "Why does Your Majesty say that I stole Fellow Daoist Gongming's magic weapon? Although Fellow Daoist Gongming and I are not disciples of the same sect, we both belong to the Xuanmen. How could this be?"
