Chapter 416 Guang Chengzi Enters the Tribulation
"What's going on inside?" Ran Deng was extremely anxious. Jin Chanzi and Bai Lian Tongzi had been inside for so long, and there had been no news at all.
“They… they’ve all disappeared.” Shen Gongbao looked pained, as if recalling some unbearable past events.
Ran Deng took a step back in shock, wondering what to do.
"Senior brothers, I'm sorry..." Shen Gongbao blinked and tears streamed down his face.
Shen Gongbao wasn't lying. Having his three flowers removed was the end of his life, and being killed was also the end of his life.
Dao Xing Tianzun's eyes went blank, and his legs went weak.
Guang Chengzi, pale-faced, asked incredulously, "My nine junior brothers, have all perished?"
"Oh, no, not at all..."
Guang Chengzi had just breathed a sigh of relief when Shen Gongbao continued, "He was only stripped of the three flowers on his head and was completely reduced to a mortal."
"My junior brothers..." Randeng thought, since the Twelve Golden Immortals had their three flowers on their heads removed, his two junior brothers should have been the same.
"Oh, I told you, they've all vanished without a trace, not even their remains were left." Shen Gongbao clutched his chest and took a difficult breath.
Ouch, that hurts so much! Your Majesty really hit hard. Speaking of which, Your Majesty is so powerful, you are truly gifted. The leader is amazing, to be able to train such a great master in such a short time.
Hopefully, after the Investiture of the Gods, given his great achievements, his master will teach him more skills.
The hand holding the lamp trembled uncontrollably; had he died and vanished?
Ji Fa was shocked. In his eyes, the immortal masters who could command the wind and rain and were all-powerful could not subdue a snake demon even when ten of them entered the formation together.
Dao Xing immediately got up, ready to go in and fight the snake demon to the death.
"Senior brother, no!" Shen Gongbao cried out in despair, "That Meishan monster has extraordinary abilities, you are no match for him."
Dao Xing Tianzun's face first turned ashen, then flushed red; such blunt truth was too harsh to hear.
Dao Xing Tianzun wasn't the only one with a grim expression; Guang Chengzi and Randeng were equally unpleasant.
"I'm sorry, junior brother. I was just worried and said the wrong thing. That Meishan monster said that each sect should send one person back to the sect to report. If senior brother goes, the chances of survival are slim." Shen Gongbao pointed out the main reason for his release, secretly wiping away the unfavorable aspects.
He can't afford to be suspected before the important matter is accomplished.
Upon hearing what his junior brother Shen Gongbao said, Guang Chengzi immediately stopped Dao Xing Tianzun, saying, "Junior brother, don't act rashly. Your senior brother plans to send you back to the mountain to apologize to our master and ask him to come out of the mountain to save our fellow disciples. Your senior brother will stay here and observe the situation."
"This is too dangerous!" As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Xing Tianzun's face turned red. "Senior Brother, I didn't say you were no match for that evil cultivator..."
"..."
Everyone was speechless; this explanation was worse than no explanation at all.
Shen Gongbao tried to stand up, and Ji Fa quickly condescended to help him up, secretly relieved that Shen Gongbao hadn't broken down.
Ji Fa had complete confidence in Shen Gongbao. As long as Shen Gongbao was there, a steady stream of immortal masters would appear to help him conquer the checkpoints.
"The Meishan Monster released my junior brother back because..." Shen Gongbao was about to say something more when a voice echoed throughout the Zhou camp:
"The disciples of the three sages are nothing more than this, all of them are nameless nobodies who are defeated and easily defeated. It is ridiculous that such a great sect has no one worth mentioning."
"Chang Hao of Meishan cordially invites all the immortals and gods of the heavens to join the formation for a meeting. I am ignorant and wish to experience the magnificence of the primordial beings..."
The voice wasn't loud, but it resounded throughout the heavens and earth; all the cultivators of the primordial world heard this provocative remark, which seemed to be whispered in his ear.
This is outrageous! An unknown person, ignorant of his own limitations, dares to challenge all the primordial beings.
At the same time, they raised their water mirrors together, a question rising in their minds. So far, all those who had come down the mountain from the Jie Sect were outer disciples, and it was understandable that their cultivation was not high. But just how useless were the Twelve Golden Immortals and the Western Sect that they could let an unknown nobody be so arrogant? They must be quite drunk.
However, the water mirror was completely blurry; not only could no shadows be seen, but even sounds could not be heard.
The ancient monsters who had survived since the beginning of time immediately dispersed their water mirrors and continued to hide, no longer caring about the battlefield. It was impossible for them to descend the mountain and join the calamity out of momentary curiosity.
Guang Chengzi and the others were so enraged that they wished they could strangle the person hiding in the formation who was spouting such nonsense.
"You beast, stop spouting nonsense! How dare you, the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun, utter such blasphemous words!" Guang Chengzi was so enraged by these words that he lost all composure. "I am Guang Chengzi, the eldest disciple of the Chan Sect. I will now learn from your teachings."
Guang Chengzi took out the Fantian Seal, ignored everyone's advice, brushed aside Daoxing Tianzun, and rushed straight into the formation.
"What should we do?" Dao Xing Tianzun wanted to follow Guang Chengzi closely, but Shen Gongbao quickly stopped him. "No, senior brother, you must hurry back to Kunlun to see Tianzun. The person in that formation is truly strange. Senior brother Guang Chengzi is probably no match for that person. If we are too late, it will be dangerous."
"And I should also go to Jin'ao Island to apologize to my senior brothers." Shen Gongbao looked pained, but in reality, he was thinking about how to bring another group of fellow disciples with him.
Shen Gongbao's words made sense. Upon hearing this, Dao Xing Tianzun knew that if his senior brother also perished, he would only be an afterthought. So he immediately took to the clouds and flew towards Kunlun.
Ran Deng remained silent, then turned and rode away on a cloud. The challenge of the two saints was not easy to overcome; their Western Sect had already lost more than a dozen disciples...
Chang Hao used his spear to deflect Guang Chengzi's twin swords, then asked with concern, "Are there still people from the Chan Sect outside?" If he were to accidentally leave the entire Chan Sect behind, who would be there to lure the amnesiac Yuanshi Tianzun to him?
"You fiend! How could the people of my Chan Sect be defeated by you alone? Take this!" Guang Chengzi drew both swords simultaneously, their sword energy soaring into the sky.
Although he looked quite professional and exuded a murderous aura driven by anger, in Chang Hao's eyes, he still lacked a certain unwavering and indomitable belief in victory.
Chang Hao's spear moved like a dragon, weaving between the two swords. Suddenly, he twisted it, and Guang Chengzi felt a sharp pain in his wrist. The two swords vanished in an instant.
Guang Chengzi was shocked and immediately summoned the Heaven-Turning Seal, smashing it down on Chang Hao from mid-air.
Chang Hao reached out and caught it; the Fantian Seal 'obediently' shrank and lay in Chang Hao's palm.
"Alright, you amateur," Chang Hao lost his patience and 'returned' the Heaven-Turning Seal to Guang Chengzi.
Guang Chengzi couldn't avoid Chang Hao's seemingly effortless smash; his three flowers were shattered, and he followed in his junior brothers' footsteps.
When the Hongmeng Pearl was full for the first time, it shed some of its grayness and emitted a faint blue light, looking more like a spiritual pearl than a piece of trash that could be easily discarded.
Huang Long hugged himself tightly. He knew it would be like this. The Venerable One without memories is truly terrifying. He is a deadly weapon. Who did this to the Venerable One?
Huanglong looked up to the sky and sighed, "Whoever it is, I beg you, please return the former Venerable One to him! This Venerable One is truly capable of killing dragons."
