Chapter 122 The Three Immortals Insist on Determining Heaven's Fate, and the Arrival of Ten Tho

"The fate of this is predetermined, so there's no need for you to say anything more. When the time comes, this formation will break on its own."

When Yuanshi Tianzun spoke, two more immortals, Fude and Defu, ascended the cloud bed. Tianzun pointed to the top of his head, and an acre of auspicious clouds appeared, reflecting five-colored light and manifesting ten thousand golden lamps.

For a time, countless strange phenomena appeared in the Xiqi region, like water dripping from the eaves in an endless stream.

"Auspicious clouds fill the heavens!"

"Oh no, my second senior uncle has arrived!"

Yunxiao sat upright within the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, and was greatly alarmed when he saw the Primordial Heavenly Venerable manifesting the auspicious clouds of the heavens.

"At the time, I insisted on not going down the mountain, fearing that I would act rashly and be unjustly accused. But what could I do when the cause and effect of this matter had already been determined?"

"The three of us were determined to avenge our brother. We came down the mountain with murderous intent and set up the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation to capture all the members of the Jade Void Sect within it."

"Releasing him is wrong, killing him is wrong too. Now that my master has come, what should I do?"

Yunxiao was in a dilemma. These twelve Golden Immortals had become a hot potato. If she released them into the formation, all twelve of them would lose their cultivation and would definitely create a great karmic connection with the three of them.

If you don't kill the snake, you'll suffer the consequences!

If we don't release them and rashly kill them, we might have a hard time explaining it to Yuanshi Tianzun, and it would become a hindrance instead.

"Sister, you are mistaken!"

"Although my second senior uncle is a sage of the Heavenly Dao, he is not our master, and we are not disciples of the Chan Sect. Why should we obey his orders? What is there to fear?"

"Our master is the Shangqing Saint of the Jie Sect. The disciples of the Chan Sect have committed such despicable acts, killing my elder brother first. If this matter gets out, we are in the right."

Qiongxiao immediately spoke up, saying that they were disciples of the Jie Sect, and it was not up to Yuanshi Tianzun to teach them a lesson.

"Indeed, indeed!"

"We treated him with courtesy and regarded him as our second senior master. On the other hand, when have his disciples ever treated the disciples of the Jie Sect as disciples of the Xuanmen Sect?"

"The disciples of the Chan Sect were the first to kill my disciples of the Jie Sect. Now that we are enemies, why should we be afraid of them?"

"Now that we have set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, the twelve Golden Immortals have lost all their cultivation and become ordinary mortals. It is probably too late for them to regret it now."

Bixiao, having given up all hope, said that what's done is done and there's almost no way to undo it.

"Enough, enough!"

"The cause and effect of this matter were predetermined long ago; let's take it one step at a time! You must not act rashly before a sage!"

Lady Yunxiao spoke up, saying that her second and third sisters were both impetuous, and now, affected by the calamity, their personalities had become bold and arrogant!

Yunxiao still held a sense of awe, and she looked at the two of them again, fearing that this girl might offend Yuanshi Tianzun.

The next morning, Yuanshi Tianzun summoned the two immortals Fude and Defu, intending to take a trip to the Yellow River Formation.

"The Three Immortals of Sanxiao have set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation here. Now that I'm here, I must go inside and take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Ran Deng hurriedly led the way, with Jiang Ziya and his disciples following behind. The group walked out of the reed hut and arrived at the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

There was a sign hanging outside the gate that read "Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation". There were not many Taoist soldiers inside the formation, only five or six hundred, with flags of five colors scattered in all directions.

But we see:

The formations stretch across the heavens and the earth, their power swaying like the Yellow River.

A chilling wind swept through the air.

Black mist permeated the air, obscuring the sun and moon.

Wandering aimlessly, lost in the vast darkness.

A chilling atmosphere filled the night, and a dark haze blanketed the earth.

Soul-destroying and spirit-extinguishing, a thousand years of cultivation turned into a pie in the sky.

Disheartened and demoralized, all the hardships endured can be lost in a single day.

Even immortals find it hard to reach, so they cut off all three flowers on their heads.

The Buddha himself arrived, and the five angers in his heart were dispelled.

Those who encounter this formation are doomed; no one can escape it. The power of this formation is thus evident.

"Reporting back to the teacher!"

"This Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation uses the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, as its key treasure. Even with my cultivation, I cannot break it in a short time."

As a quasi-saint of the Primordial Second Corpse, Daoist Ran Deng's cultivation was far beyond the clouds, but he did not have any innate spiritual treasures that could restrain the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation in front of him.

"This Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is truly extraordinary!"

"In the art of formations, it seems that the Three Immortals of Jie Sect have already received the true teachings of our third junior brother."

"It's understandable that you can't solve it."

The Taoist Ran Deng attained enlightenment using the innate spiritual treasure, the Burial Coffin, and the Spirit Coffin Lamp, one of the four great spiritual lamps. He successfully severed his two corpses, and his cultivation level has broken through to the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

In the vast primordial world, there are not many cultivators who can surpass Daoist Ran Deng, but Yunxiao is among them.

With the help of the Hunyuan Golden Bucket and the Golden Dragon Scissors, Yunxiao was even able to fight beyond his level and slay two Quasi-Saints.

"The Three Immortals of the Intercepting Sect, come quickly to receive the Emperor!"

The white crane boy let out a loud cry, and his clear Daoist voice, like the cry of a crane, entered the great formation directly.

The Three Immortals and their companions stepped out of the formation, bowed slightly by the roadside, and said, "May our Second Martial Uncle live a long and prosperous life! We, your disciples, have failed to greet you from afar; please forgive us!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and said, "I know the whole story of this cause and effect. The reason why you three set up this formation is because my disciples are facing this calamity."

"Previously, when the three religions of us discussed the important matter of the Investiture of the Gods, your master made a promise with us, stating that all disciples of the three religions who descended the mountain should be destined to be listed among them."

"Your elder brother came down the mountain and got involved in the karma of this great calamity. It is fate that he suffered this misfortune."

"The three of you set up the Yellow River Formation, causing my disciples to suffer a calamity. This is retribution!"

"You all go into the formation, and I will go in myself."

The words of the Primordial Celestial Venerable were completely impartial, stating directly that Zhao Gongming and the Twelve Golden Immortals were all destined to face this calamity, and that their fate was ordained by Heaven.

The Celestial Venerable rode the Nine Dragon Incense Chariot into the formation, only to find that the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were all unconscious, their cultivation stripped away and reduced to mortal bodies.

"The Three Corpses have not been severed, and the Six Qi have not been absorbed!"

"It's a pity that all your countless years of cultivation have vanished in a single day. It seems this is all due to fate, something no one can force. So be it!"

Yuanshi Tianzun sighed. Previously, when the three religions discussed the Investiture of the Gods, they stated that the Primordial Golden Immortals would not enter the Great Tribulation.

This tribulation of gods and immortals encompasses the Great Luo Golden Immortals and the Taiyi Golden Immortals. There are three levels of cultivation among them: the best achieve physical immortality, the middle achieve immortality upon death, and the worst fall into reincarnation, thus completing the great calamity of heaven and earth.

In other words, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were also destined to face calamity, just like Zhao Gongming.

"I have observed this formation!"

"Yunxiao Boy, the Chan Sect will arrive soon to break this formation. You should prepare yourself within this formation!"

Having said that, the Primordial Celestial Venerable lowered his wise eyes and slowly rode out of the formation in his Nine-Dragon Incense Chariot, leaving behind a story for later.

"Thief, don't run! Behold my magic weapon!"

Seeing that the Primordial Celestial Venerable was about to step out of the great formation, Fairy Caiyun became anxious and summoned her magic weapon again.

Suddenly, the Eye-Slaying Pearl flew out and struck at the Primordial Heavenly Lord, a move that terrified Lady Yunxiao.

"How dare you, Fairy Caiyun, attack a Sage?"

"This is a grave offense of disrespect. If the Heavenly Venerable is angered, I fear the three of us will also be implicated!"

Under the horrified gaze of Lady Yunxiao, the Eye-Slaying Pearl stopped not far from the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, turning into countless dust particles and completely disappearing.

Yuanshi Tianzun didn't even turn his head before walking out of the great formation. Caiyun Fairy's attack seemed to have no effect whatsoever; she was ignored once again.

"This person has some nerve!"

"This Fairy Caiyun of the Jie Sect is truly ignorant and fearless, daring to offend a Heavenly Saint!"

"Taking in a disciple like this will only bring trouble!"

Xin Huan looked at Fairy Caiyun and said that saying she was ignorant and fearless was probably just a disguised compliment!

In the eyes of others, this move was undoubtedly suicidal, and it also dragged down the reputation of the Jie Sect!

Even Yunxiao, a celestial being of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, dared not offend the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. Yet Caiyun Fairy, merely a deity, dared to attack the ceremonial procession of a sage.

Such an approach is both ignorant and foolish.

This also shows that the disciples of the Jie Sect are of varying quality. Although they are said to have ten thousand immortals paying homage, there are inevitably some with shallow roots and are not suitable for joining the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).
