If Yuanshi Tianzun was the Second Saint of the West, then the way of ghosts and immortals would have limited value in front of him, and it would only be an innate magic weapon that could stand up to the sky.
But he is not, he is a Xuanmen saint and the founder of the immortal way. In his eyes, the way of ghosts and immortals is very valuable, almost comparable to an innate treasure.
Of course, if you really want to talk about it, the value of the Ghost Immortal Way is still not as good as the Four Swords of Killing Immortals. But so what? The person speaking now is Sage Shangqing, and he is threatening Yuanshi Tianzun.
If he doesn't hand over the Four Swords of Killing Immortals, then he will make the matter bigger and bring it to the front of Taoist Hongjun. With the blessing of this incident, the value of the Ghost Immortal Way has greatly increased, indeed reaching a point comparable to the Four Swords of Killing Immortals.
Agree or disagree?
Yuanshi Tianzun now seems very hesitant.
During the Conferred God Tribulation, the Zhuxian Sword Formation was broken by the Four Saints. As for the five top-level innate spiritual treasures that make up the Zhuxian Sword Formation, except for the most important Zhuxian Formation Diagram, they are still in the hands of the Shangqing Saint.
The remaining four top magic weapons, the Four Swords of Zhuxian, all fell into the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun, and were handed over to his four disciples for safekeeping.
Guangchengzi is in charge of the Zhuxian Sword, Chi Jingzhen is in charge of the Immortal Sword, Yuding Zhenren is in charge of the Falling Immortal Sword, and Daoxing Tianzun is in charge of the Juexian Sword.
As for breaking the Immortal Killing Sword Formation, it was obvious that the Two Saints of the West were also involved, so why not give each of them an innate killing sword? Isn't that a joke?
Even if Yuanshi Tianzun dares to give it, the Second Saints of the West don’t dare to ask for it! Sanqing's magic weapon, Sanqing can do whatever he wants. If the two of them dare to reach out, believe it or not, Sanqing will immediately put aside the old grudges, change the direction of the spear together, and kill them first?
Saint Taiqing didn't care, so the matter of keeping the Four Swords of Immortal Killing naturally fell on Yuanshi Tianzun's head. In order to avoid suspicion and not want to be accused of coveting his younger brother's magic weapon, Yuanshi Tianzunxu gave the four swords to the four disciples who took the swords as a reward for them.
After all, when the gods were conferred to measure the calamity, entering the Zhuxian Sword Formation to get the sword was an extremely dangerous thing in itself. They risked their lives to do this, and if they succeeded, they would be rewarded.
And there is no better reward than the Four Swords of Zhu Xian that they picked with their own hands.
"Second brother, after so many years, it's time for the Four Swords of Zhuxian to be returned to their original owners, so don't hesitate." Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun was still hesitating, Saint Taiqing couldn't help but persuade him.
Back then, when they took away the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, they did so in the name of taking charge of the treasure on behalf of their younger brother, and claimed that they would return the Four Swords of Zhu Xian after he changed his ways.
Now that so many years have passed, even Taoist Hongjun has forgiven the Shangqing Saint. It is really unreasonable for them to occupy the Four Swords of Zhu Xian and not return them.
He was in charge of the Four Swords of Killing Immortals, and he was afraid that it would become a magic weapon that covets his younger brother, so he teamed up with outsiders to snatch it away.
People in the world don't care about the process, they only care about the results. They didn't care what happened in the Fengshen Calamity Tribulation. They only knew that Saint Taiqing and Yuanshi Tianzun teamed up with outsiders to deal with their younger brother and seized his younger brother's magic weapon.
Poor God, during the Conferred God Tribulation, although Saint Taiqing chose to side with Yuanshi Tianzun, he didn't even touch the Four Immortal Swords.
Taiqing Sage is a moral god, and he is established in the world by morality. His moral example cannot be stained. Even when he dealt with Shangqing Sage, he did it in the name of educating his disobedient younger brother.
Under such circumstances, Saint Taiqing naturally did not want to bear the infamy of uniting with outsiders to bully his younger brother. If he really bears this infamy, how can he set a moral example in the future?
"Brother..."
Yuanshi Tianzun struggled a little, but it wasn't that he was reluctant to part with the Four Swords of Immortal Killing. Just as Saint Taiqing had never touched the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, neither had he. The main reason why he behaved like this was because he was feeling aggrieved.
He could return the Four Swords of Killing Immortals to Sage Shangqing, but he should never be forced by Sage Shangqing to return the Four Swords of Killing Immortals to him in this humiliating way. Instead, it should be the Sage of the Supreme Purity who comes to ask for it, or he should take the initiative to return it to the Sage of the Supreme Purity.
No matter which way it is, he should be in an active state, instead of passively bearing everything like now.
In the confrontation with the Sage of Shangqing, Yuanshi Tianzun always wins. Now that the situation has suddenly changed, how can the arrogant Yuanshi Tianzun endure it?
But unfortunately, the situation has evolved to this point and is no longer within the control of Yuanshi Tianzun. He wants to refuse, but the price of refusal is too high, which he is unwilling to bear.
"The Four Swords of Killing Immortals, this is a magic weapon given to me by Master. Why, you have been keeping it for so many years, and you are still not satisfied. Do you still want to keep it?"
Seeing that his purpose was revealed by Yuanshi Tianzun, Sage Shangqing didn't hide it anymore and simply said it directly. He just wanted to take this opportunity to take back the Four Swords of Killing Immortals.
"Huh, it's competition, so of course you have to fight to know the result. Now that the competition hasn't even started, do you really think you have a chance to win?"
Maybe he was born to have a conflict with Sage Shangqing. When he heard him speak, Yuanshi Tianzun choked subconsciously. Let him not get complacent too early. The competition has not yet begun, and the outcome is still unknown.
Yuanshi Tianzun's words were regarded as acquiescence to the suggestion of the Sage of Shangqing, and he took out the Four Swords of Zhuxian as a bonus. Otherwise, he would not have mentioned the competition.
"Um?"
"Is it possible that there is a master in the teachings who can defeat Jiang Chen?"
After hearing what Yuanshi Tianzun said, Sage Shangqing was really shocked. He did not expect that Yuanshi Tianzun actually had the intention of competing.
You know, in his opinion, the so-called fair competition is just a formality.
Jiang Chen's strength is there, almost comparable to that of a great supernatural power user, and he has mastered many top-notch innate spiritual treasures. With such strength, even if the existing disciples of the Chan Sect come together, they will not be his opponents.
And this is only the strength Jiang Chen showed. If his hidden strength is also included, then the disciples of Chanjiao will be no match for him.
Isn't this fair competition just a formality? With just Chanjiao's little strength, even if he risked his life, he couldn't be Jiang Chen's opponent. How could this compare?
At this time, even the way Saint Taiqing looked at Yuanshi Tianzun became strange. He also couldn't figure out how the disciples of Chanjiao could defeat Jiang Chen. Even if his disciple Xuan Du takes action, he may not be Jiang Chen's opponent.
No, Jiang Chen is a human king, and Xuandu is a human being. How can he take action against Jiang Chen when he has not lost his virtue in the world? Doesn’t that mean that you are extirpating yourself from the human race?
"Jiang Chen has a special status, Xuandu will not compete with him."
At this time, Saint Taiqing suddenly expressed his stance. He was worried that Yuanshi Tianzun would drag Xuandu into the tank after he couldn't think of a way, so he blocked the matter in advance.
Although Saint Taiqing spoke in a vague way, the Saint was so shrewd that the two of them understood what he meant after just being stunned. Then, Yuanshi Tianzun's face darkened. The look he looked at Saint Taiqing showed a bit of dissatisfaction.
Today, Sage Taiqing must have come to dismantle him.
"Ahem!"
"We, the three brothers, have made an agreement together on this matter. The success or failure of disciple affairs depends on each one's own abilities. None of the three of us can interfere."
Pretending not to see Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze, Saint Taiqing continued.
Through the threatening action of Sage Shangqing just now, he suddenly realized that he could favor Yuanshi Tianzun, but he could not go too far.
Otherwise, one day Daozu Hongjun suddenly remembered the three of them and went to check on their situation. After knowing that he wholeheartedly favors Yuanshi Tianzun, I am afraid that he will not be able to enjoy his good fruits.
Just in case, Saint Taiqing decided to do something fair.
"good!"
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and agreed with Saint Taiqing's proposal. This was the right thing to do. If he disagreed, it would appear that he had ulterior motives.
"Huh, that's how it should be."
"Don't worry, I'm not you, and I can't do anything to attack juniors."
While the Sage of Shangqing nodded in agreement, he also did not forget the connotation of Yuanshi Tianzun and the Sage of Taiqing of Heaven and Earth.
When the gods were conferred to measure the calamity, everyone agreed not to intervene and let the disciples decide the cause and effect on their own according to their own abilities. As a result, after all the twelve golden immortals of the Chan Sect were wiped out in the Jiuqu Yellow River Formation, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help it anymore and personally killed Sanxiao who was setting up the formation.
This is a typical case of not being able to afford it.
"It's nothing, third brother, don't think too much about it. We promise in the name of Master that we will never violate the agreement."
The dark history was revealed, and the two of them were a little embarrassed, so they quickly promised, even swearing in the name of Daozu Hongjun.
Daozu Hongjun is the Dao of Heaven and swears in the name of Dao of Heaven. Naturally, there is no case of violating the oath. Even a saint cannot bear the price.
"Hmph, I hope you two can take care of yourself!"
Seeing the two people making such a strong oath, the Sage Shangqing felt relieved and left with the words "You should take care of yourself".
"Brother, why are you like this? What do you think of his attitude?"
As soon as Sage Shangqing left, Tianzun Yuanshi couldn't help but complain to Sage Taiqing.
"Second brother, that's enough. As the elder brother, can't you give it to him? Besides, it's time to return the Four Swords of Zhu Xian to him. Otherwise, a saint won't even have a magic weapon to show to outsiders. , it’s not even funny enough.”
"After so many years, all the hatred and resentment should have disappeared completely. It's time to give the third brother some dignity."
Sage Taiqing's words were very serious, and he just said directly that Yuanshi Tianzun did not care about brotherhood and was not prepared to leave any dignity to Sage Shangqing.
"I will help my junior brother rebuild the Taoist tradition. You can return his magic weapon to him. This will resolve the grudge between us and him."
Perhaps he felt that his words were a bit harsh, so Saint Taiqing calmed down and spoke again.
This sentence is true. Originally, Zhang Daoling was a registered disciple chosen by Saint Taiqing to carry forward the Taiqing lineage. However, he was cut off by Jiang Chen and became the pillar of the Taiqing lineage.
To be honest, if Saint Taiqing really didn't want to do this, Jiang Chen wouldn't be able to stand up in Shangqing Palace even if Saint Shangqing was behind him.
The most powerful saint in the way of heaven, the contemporary master of Xuanmen, how could the Taiqing saint be in vain? He has always been the only one who plots against others, and no one else plots against him.
It was just that for some reason, he suddenly cared about the brotherhood, so he took a step back and let Jiang Chen take advantage.
"That's what my brother said!"
After being said by Saint Taiqing, no matter how angry Yuanshi Tianzun was, he couldn't vent it out at this moment, otherwise it would appear that he didn't care about brotherhood.
"You don't need to take this fight between ghosts too seriously. It's just a process anyway."
"There is no need to worry about what will happen to the disciples. Now it is different from before. Those juniors have grown up. They are all innate Taoist masters. They have reached the realm of immortality. Even if they are killed, they will not really perish."
Saint Taiqing continued to persuade, which was why he dared to promise never to interfere in this matter.
The Golden Immortals of Chanjiao are all innate Taoist masters now, in the realm of immortality. No matter how strong Jiang Chen is, he cannot kill them completely. That being the case, what else is there to worry about?
Yuanshi Tianzun was a little speechless. His disciples are not that bad, right? Why do they all decide that his disciples are inferior to Jiang Chen?
You must know that in this battle between ghosts and demons, Sage Shangqing himself said that the disciples of Chanjiao can use the Four Swords of Killing Immortals. The combined power of the four swords has reached the level of an innate treasure. Yuanshi Tianzun still doesn't believe it. He can't defeat Jiang Chen even in this way.
"Brother, don't say any more, just let us wait and see."
Too lazy to waste any more words, Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand, left the place in a hurry, and went back to gather his disciples.
He had to plan carefully and make sure that his disciples won this ghost battle so that he could severely suppress the arrogance of the Sage of Shangqing.
…
…………
One year goes by in a blink of an eye.
Realizing that the time had come, Jiang Chen stopped preaching. Suddenly, the heaven and earth became silent, and the vision that spread throughout the city of Fusui disappeared.
However, the ghosts who were listening below did not wake up immediately, but were still immersed in enlightenment.
"That's all, it's fate, so I'll give you another chance."
Seeing the intoxicated looks on the faces of the ghosts below, Jiang Chen thought for a while and suddenly waved his sleeves.
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and the shadows of the stars suddenly appeared in the sky above the Netherworld. Then, countless rays of silver-white starlight were seen, falling from the sky like rain, covering the entire city of Fusi Death.
This is Zhoutian Xingguang, brought here by Jiang Chen with his great supernatural power. Among the many powers in the world, apart from Yin Qi, the most suitable power for the soul is the power of the stars in the sky.
However, the boundless starry sky is the territory of the Monster Clan, but the Netherworld is the territory of the Witch Clan. How could the Monster Clan allow starlight to appear in the Netherworld? After the decline of the demon clan, the boundless starry sky was shattered, and the starlight distributed in the human world was not enough, so how could there be excess starlight distributed to the Netherworld?
It can be said that the light of the stars in the sky has never illuminated the Nether World, and this time Jiang Chen used his great supernatural power to summon the stars and make them manifest in the Nether World. For the Nether World, it was truly an unprecedented phenomenon.
