Chapter 397: Fishing for people
Yuanshi ran to Xiqi and rescued his useless disciple. Guangchengzi followed behind Yuanshi with a face full of shame. "Disciple is incompetent and has made Master run around. After I have passed the tribulations of the mortal world and returned to the mountain, I will definitely study formations and alchemy diligently."
After much painful reflection, Guang Chengzi realized that he could not only pursue powerful combat strength while neglecting other skills, such as the Dao of Array Formation and the Dao of Alchemy, which were also exceptionally powerful.
"Knowing that you are incompetent, you are not beyond redemption," Yuanshi said casually, casting a spell to move several disciples out of the Ten Deadly Formations.
When Manjushri, Chijingzi, Taiyi, Samantabhadra, and Julusun appeared, they were covered in dust and dirt, but when they saw that Yuanshi Tianzun had come to save them in person, they could not contain their excitement.
The group looked deeply moved and said, "Greetings, Master." Their Master still cared about them.
"Since there's nothing wrong, I'll take my leave now." Yuanshi originally wanted to send his disciple, who hadn't been tainted by the divine calamity, back to the mountain, but seeing his disciple's crystal-clear, foolish eyes, he decided against it.
The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods is a rare experience. The Three Flowers can be rebuilt after they are lost, but the experience of the Great Tribulation cannot be regained.
"Master," Guang Chengzi stammered, "I wonder if Master would be willing to explain to me how to break the formation?" They were completely unfamiliar with this Ten Deadly Formations and had no idea how to do it.
Yuanshi glanced at Guangchengzi. Now that the formation is broken, wouldn't the outer disciples of Jin'ao Island, whom he ordered Shen Gongbao to "invite" down the mountain to enter the tribulation, be one less threat?
"Nonsense! How can you expect your master to speak for you in everything?" Yuanshi's expression turned serious, and he said sternly, "You are facing a calamity of death. How can you overcome the calamity of death for immortals if you do not personally experience the danger?"
"This disciple knows his mistake." The eleven Golden Immortals prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to utter a sound.
Huang Long raised his eyes, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
"Huanglong, do you have anything to say?" Yuanshi immediately caught Huanglong's gaze. Was he planning to disobey his master's orders?
"This disciple has never been involved in any worldly calamities. May I return to the mountain with Master?" Huanglong was truly afraid.
After countless near-death experiences, Huanglong had long regretted leaving the mountain. Why did he force himself to fit into a group he couldn't belong to, only to suffer for his own sake?
Yuanshi was worried that he would frighten his timid disciples, so he did not mention that his disciples, who were already entangled in worldly tribulations, were currently facing two tribulations, and that danger was a constant occurrence for them.
"Your junior brother Yu Ding recently left the group and went to Chaoge alone. Unfortunately, he encountered a calamity and his three flowers have been cut off." Yuanshi looked at Huanglong meaningfully. Yu Ding had never been involved in the mortal world's calamities, but he chose to go down the mountain and was thus caught up in the Investiture of the Gods.
Once Huanglong descended the mountain, he was already caught up in the Investiture of the Gods, and could only move forward, not backward.
"hiss……"
The Golden Immortals gasped in shock. The Jade Cauldron had been stripped of its three flowers? They involuntarily glanced upwards at their heads…
Huanglong understood his master's implication, and his face turned ashen. It was all over. What sins had he committed? He had no choice but to face the Investiture of the Gods; he couldn't escape it.
"You all behave yourselves. Last time, Yu Ding was lucky because I happened to be in Chaoge, which is how I managed to rescue him and bring him back to Kunlun. If you all stay together and encounter danger, it will be easier for me to come to your rescue." Yuan Shi was simply too lazy to deal with his disciples every day. He just kept these disciples together so that he could rescue them all at once if they were in trouble, thus saving himself the trouble.
"Yes, thank you, Master. We are ashamed." Guang Chengzi and the others lowered their heads. Their master meant that he would spare their lives, and they had caused him trouble.
"It's good that you know. You should help Xiqi break the formation, use your brains, and not rely on others for anything. If you encounter difficulties, brothers should consult with each other and support one another. Don't let others laugh at you." Yuanshi warned his unruly disciples in advance so that the people from Jin'ao Island would come later.
"Yes, disciple will obey Master's orders." The eleven Golden Immortals knelt down to bid farewell to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. They understood. They had been wondering why Junior Brother Yu Ding had not returned, and why Yang Jian had remained tight-lipped upon his return, making it impossible to get any information out of him.
Honestly, what's so hard about saying this? Why are you hesitating? They won't mock the unfortunate Yu Ding; they'll only seek revenge for him.
When Yuanshi returned to Kunlun Mountain, there were some things he needed to discuss with his elder brother. Tongtian was bound to get stuck on his own thoughts and not understand why Yuanshi treated the outer disciples of Jin'ao Island the way he did.
It's better to share Tongtian's anger with his elder brother. He's doing this for the future of the Three Pure Ones, so how can we let Tongtian only anger him?
……………………
Duobao knew something was wrong when the mountain lord kicked him away. After getting up, he stopped wasting his time and rushed towards Kunlun Mountain.
Regardless of what happened to the Mountain Lord after he entered the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, what he should do now is to quickly call for reinforcements...
Suddenly, upon hearing the announcement that could be heard by all primordial beings, Duobao stumbled and fell to his knees, his eyes wide with shock. It was all over; the reputation of his Jie Sect was ruined…
The sect leader was betrayed and his ancestors destroyed; the number one traitor in the primordial world—this isn't about the mountain lord; Duobao will bring his head to meet us.
At this moment, Duobao wished he could use earth magic to bury himself in the ground and never come out again.
Oh no, how should he report this to his eldest and second master uncles? This is a serious problem.
Furthermore, if his master's memory is accurate, Duobao can also offer his head to meet him.
Duobao rushed back to Kunlun Mountain in the bitter wind and rain. Laozi was pondering what Yuanshi had told him with his eyes closed. Tongtian's fortune had been in a slump for a long time, and what Yuanshi said was a good solution.
Suddenly, Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi looked up at the sky together.
"Why has the fortune of the Three Pure Ones suddenly surged?" Lao Tzu's eyes widened, and he rose from the futon in a daze, looking up to observe the fortune above his head.
The unity of the Three Pure Ones has never been achieved simply by focusing on self-cultivation.
“I am now in Kunlun Mountain, and it is certainly not because of me.” Yuanshi also looked at the abnormal fortune, “This fortune is comparable to that of the Three Pure Ones.”
"What is Tongtian doing down the mountain?" Laozi couldn't help but pluck off his long beard, and then stared blankly at the beard in his hand, feeling that familiar, unpleasant feeling.
"Tongtian's fortune has been stagnant for many years," Yuanshi said incisively. A sage like Tongtian, whose pockets are only empty and never full, is burdened by his fortune. "This sudden surge in fortune is abnormal and must be a sign of something sinister, not a good omen..."
Lao Tzu stared at the fortune and felt a chill run down his spine. Yuan Shi was right; it was a curse, not a blessing.
Suddenly, Yuanshi seemed to remember something, abruptly stood up, and walked out of the Eight Trigrams Palace. How could he have made such a grave mistake?!
Leaving Chang Hao alone in Chaoge was undoubtedly the biggest decision-making mistake of his life.
Although he tricked Tongtian into causing trouble for the two Western Saints, given Tongtian's personality, it's hard to say whether he wouldn't return to Chaoge after he'd finished his business.
At this moment in Chaoge, Chang Hao was diligently practicing 'A Glimmer of Hope' day and night, just in case Tongtian ran into him...
Damn, even Yuanshi could guess what Tongtian would think. He would definitely think, "This person is a gift from heaven," and just force him to become his disciple.
Before Yuanshi could even leave the Eight Trigrams Palace, Laozi suddenly clutched his chest, crying out, "It hurts so much!!!"
Pointing his finger at the line of destiny, he cried out in anguish, "That wicked Tongtian!!!"
