Li Anran didn't know that his fight with Bixiao had alarmed Shang Tathagata, and he didn't care about it. He ran the Immortal Killing Formation with all his strength and tried his best to resist the continuous attack of the Golden Dragon Scissors.
On the surface, his Immortal Killing Formation and the Golden Dragon Scissors controlled by Bixiao were equally matched.
However, Li Anran knew very well that he had fallen behind!
He can still support it, and so can the Zhuxian Formation, but the four swords that make up the Zhuxian Formation are about to be unable to support it!
These four fairy swords were refined by him using the essence of the Golden Immortal Realm and the Hundred Treasures Kit. Although they were stronger than the four inferior fairy swords refined by the Master of Tongtian, they were still only as strong as they could be!
After these collisions, the four immortal swords have been fundamentally damaged by the Gengjin Qi that escaped from the golden dragon, and they were barely maintained by the destructive and killing Qi in the Immortal Killing Formation.
It won't be long before they fall apart!
When the time comes, the Immortal Killing Formation will be destroyed without attack!
"It's a little worse after all!" Li Anran shook his head secretly.
But he didn't know that the eyes of Taiyi Tianzun behind him were shining, and the joy on his face could no longer be concealed.
From Li Anran's point of view, even if he ran the Zhuxian Formation with all his strength, he could only compete with Bixiao who activated the Golden Dragon Scissors in a short period of time, which was really unsatisfactory to him.
But in the eyes of Taiyi Tianzun, his disciple, who has only practiced for more than three hundred years, can single-handedly compete with Bixiao holding a golden dragon scissor. This is no longer a rising star with potential, but a mainstay of Xuanmen and even It is the hope that Taoism can overwhelm Buddhism again!
Unlike the continuous advancement of science and technology in previous lives, immortal Qi masters are more powerful most of the time as they get older.
It is difficult for people in this world to compare with their predecessors who are thousands of times their age, especially the innate creatures who were born when the world first opened.
This is not because people in later generations are stupid, but because the environment is different!
When the world first opened, the Great Dao was manifested and spiritual energy was abundant. It was very easy to practice or comprehend the Great Dao. There were also many innate spiritual treasures that condensed the laws of heaven and earth scattered in the world.
These creatures who were born at the beginning of the world not only have the longest cultivation time, but also have the opportunity to observe the avenue up close and pick up powerful innate spiritual treasures to protect themselves.
As time passed, especially after experiencing the three catastrophes of dragons and phoenixes, lichs, and gods, the world was shattered into pieces, and a large amount of spiritual energy flowed into chaos.
And because the way of heaven and humanity continues to improve, it gradually obscures the great road behind it.
Cultivation has become easier and easier to understand, but it has also become more difficult to deepen.
In ancient times, the golden immortals roamed the earth and were no better than dogs. Now, only the mysterious immortals can dominate the mortal world!
Most of the seven powerful sages were cultivated as Golden Immortals or Taiyi Golden Immortals!
Magic weapons can only be refined day after tomorrow, and their power is greatly different from innate spiritual treasures!
This further aggravates the situation where cultivators are no longer as good as they used to be.
Buddhism has successively pried the corner of Jiejiao and Chanjiao, and brought innate beings such as the Burning Deng Guanyin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Spiritual Tooth Fairy, Golden Light Fairy and Winged Fairy under its own command, and its strength directly surpassed that of Taoism.
And Xuanmen has almost no chance to overtake.
Xuanmen has managed to maintain its prosperity for ten thousand years by relying on the large amount of merit and luck brought by surviving the catastrophe of Conferring God, but it is almost over.
Over the years, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva became the leader of the Netherworld. He claimed that "if hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha." His ten palaces, Yama, and the Yinsi of Mount Tai of Xuanmen equally divided the underworld.
Avalokitesvara, Manjushri, subduing dragons and tigers, and other Bodhisattvas and Arhats have repeatedly appeared in the mortal world. Buddhism has spread throughout Xiniuhezhou, and has also expanded to Nanzhanbuzhou through Buddhist scriptures from the West.
The great rise of Buddhism is irreversible, while Taoism is gradually declining.
Taiyi Tianzun, as the leader of Xuanmen, is naturally unwilling to sit back and watch the decline of Xuanmen.
Only then did he let Taishang Laojun's ambitions grow, even deliberately, and let Taishang Laojun strengthen the human religion.
He also continued to show his goodwill to Jie Jiao and win over each other step by step, hoping to get Jie Jiao and Chanren back together.
Combine the power of the three religions to compete with Buddhism.
The effect of the former is quite good. Most of the Eight Immortals selected by Taishang Laojun are the reincarnations of ancient great powers, and their future is unlimited.
The latter failed completely. Jiejiao had no intention of reconciling with the two Chanren sects. He just wanted to stay out and play both sides.
But now, Taiyi Tianzun sees another possibility in Li Anran——
If Li Anran can single-handedly conquer the Three Realms, wouldn't it be a matter of time before Xuanmen overwhelms Buddhism again?
Taiyi Tianzun suppressed the throbbing in his heart and deduced the possibility of this matter, but finally shook his head.
This is not completely impossible, but the hope is so slim that it is almost impossible to achieve!
Taiyi Tianzun extinguished this thought, but also thought secretly in his heart: "After this matter, I need to see Brother Guangchengzi and the others. Even if Li Anran cannot dominate the world, he will definitely be one of the best in the three worlds. A strong man, we must not let him make any mistakes."
On the other side, Bixiao felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Jin Jiaojian couldn't make achievements for a long time, and he suddenly became anxious.
Bixiao has always been willful in doing things, only focusing on his own likes and dislikes. He muttered a series of mantras silently from his mouth and pointed his middle finger towards Li Anran.
Buzz!
The Hunyuan Jindou let out a soft cry and started to spin. The three talents of heaven, earth and people inside circulated, and a golden light burst out.
"Sister, no!" Bixiao exclaimed, but her hands made no move.
"Brother Li Anran, be careful!" Yang Jian had been paying attention to the movements on the field. When he saw Bixiao suddenly urging Hunyuan Jindou, his expression suddenly changed.
He was once caught by Yunxiao using the Hunyuan Golden Dou. He knew that the Hunyuan Golden Dou was so powerful that it could absorb everything in the world, and even the eight-nine Mysterious Techniques of Transformation could not escape it.
Yang Jian took a step forward almost subconsciously, his eyes suddenly opened on his forehead, and a silver light shone towards Hunyuan Jindou, trying to help Li Anran block Hunyuan Jindou.
However, as soon as Yinmang got close to Hunyuan Jindou, he lost control and fell into the fight, making no movement.
"go!"
Nezha's reaction was also very quick. He grabbed the Qiankun Circle and threw it towards Hunyuan Jindou, but the result was the same as Yang Jian's silver light from the sky.
Qiankun Circle fell directly into the fight, quietly, and failed to have the slightest impact on Hunyuan Jindou.
At this moment, the golden light shot out by Hunyuan Jindou fell on the huge lightsaber condensed by the Zhuxian Formation.
Bang!
Almost instantly, the huge lightsaber condensed with the energy of destruction and killing was taken in by Hunyuan Jindou, and disappeared like a mud cow into the sea.
Click! Click!
Without the blessing of the aura of destruction and killing, the four fairy swords suspended in mid-air trembled. Cracks appeared on the swords. The light was dim. They were cut by the golden dragon and directly shattered.
The Immortal Killing Formation was then broken.
"I don't know how capable you are, but it's just mediocre!" Bixiao sneered and urged the golden dragon scissors to twist towards Li Anran.
Buzz!
A handle of jade Ruyi suddenly appeared in the void, casting down a hazy light, holy and luxurious, forming a seven-color light shield, protecting everyone underneath.
boom! boom!
The two dragons bared their teeth and claws, intertwined and twisted on the light shield, but only ripples appeared, and they soon returned to calm.
"Three precious jade as you wish!"
Bixiao recognized that this was the magic weapon that killed her sister Qiongxiao back then. She was furious and used all her strength to use the golden dragon shears to wring the three treasure jade Ruyi.
Two rays of golden light slid down from the sky, and the extremely sharp Gengjin Qi overflowed. The void of heaven and earth was like a thin piece of paper, cut in half, leaving a huge black crack.
Everyone felt a chill in their backs and numbness in their scalps. Even looking at them from a distance, they felt like a knife was being held on their necks.
However, no matter Yang Jian, Nezha, Jinxia Tongzi, or the gods watching all this outside the West Gate, no one was worried about Li Anran!
Because, standing next to Li Anran is Taiyi Tianzun!
The headmaster of Xuanmen!
Taiyi Tianzun quietly watched the golden dragon scissors fall down without even moving an inch.
Thousands of years ago, if he saw the golden scissors, he would have no choice but to run away. But after ten thousand years, he no longer takes the golden scissors seriously!
Buzz!
The Three Treasure Jade Ruyi trembled slightly, emitting ripples one after another. The patterns on it continued to fluctuate, rippling upwards, and the light shield also expanded outwards.
when!
The two golden lights twisted on the light mask and made a loud noise, but it was like scissors cutting on the iron stone. Not only did it fail to shake the light mask at all, but it was forced back step by step by the expanding light mask.
"Take it!" Bixiao felt unwilling and pointed her middle finger towards Sanbaoyu Ruyi.
Although Sanxiao was transformed from the three clouds in the sky at the beginning of the world, because the three of them shared a ray of chance and luck, not only did they transform relatively late, they had no accompanying spiritual treasures, and they also did not find any powerful innate magic weapons.
However, Yunxiao and Bixiao were deeply loved by Lord Tongtian.
The leader of Tongtian gave Bixiao the golden dragon scissors that he had made with his own hands, and gave Yunxiao the Hunyuan gold bucket obtained from Fenbao Cliff.
However, the Sanxiao sisters have a deep love for each other, so they use these two magic weapons together without distinguishing between them.
The Golden Dragon Scissor is a sharp weapon for killing and killing, and the Hunyuan Golden Dou is even more powerful than it!
There are three talents in it, which contain the wonders of heaven and earth. The cause and effect are unknown, the number of calamities is not revealed, and the magical power is unknown. It can absorb all things in the world and can transform the invisible.
Sanxiao relied on it to show its power in the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods, and cooperated with the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation to eliminate all the Taoist deeds of the twelve golden immortals of Chanjiao.
This can be said to be the most brutal battle of Chanjiao in the catastrophe of Conferring God!
Even the later Immortal Killing Formation and Ten Thousand Immortals Formation cannot compare!
However, the three-bao jade Ruyi opposite is the symbol of the Chanjiao and the most important treasure to suppress the Jiao. Not only is it itself a top-quality innate spiritual treasure, it is also blessed with the luck of the Chanjiao. It is even better than the Hunyuan Golden Dou!
And Taiyi Tianzun’s cultivation is far above Bixiao!
The golden light emitted by the Hunyuan Golden Dou shines on the light mask, just like the sun shining on the ice and snow. Countless light fragments fly out from the light mask and are sucked into the Hunyuan Golden Dou.
But, that’s all!
The speed of Hunyuan Jindou's absorption is simply not as fast as the speed of Sanbaoyu's Ruyi repair!
Uh-huh!
Taiyi Tianzun flicked his fly whisk, and a golden light flew out, knocking Hunyuan Jindou back. He said in a cold voice: "Fellow Taoist Bixiao, for the sake of both you and me being Xuanmen disciples, I will tolerate you again and again. But you also need to remember, don’t push the envelope too far!”
"I just want to make progress..."
In the middle of Bixiao's words, Qiongxiao stopped him and scolded, "Sister, don't do this again!"
"Sister!" Qiong Xiao was still a little reluctant, but with a wave of her hand, Qiong Xiao took back the Hunyuan Golden Dou and the Golden Dragon Scissors.
At this moment, an auspicious cloud flew from the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw an old woman with white hair and a childlike face standing at the head of the cloud, wearing a cloud-patterned gold-lined garment, a golden lotus crown on her head, and holding a cane.
Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao's eyes lit up, and they rushed to greet her, saluting, "Senior Sister Wudang."
Qiongxiao wanted to tell Our Lady of Wudang what happened here, while Bixiao wanted to complain to Our Lady of Wudang.
Our Lady of Wudang pressed her hand slightly towards them, signaling them to calm down, and flew to Taiyi Zhenren's side, with an apologetic face: "Brother Taiyi, Junior Sister Bixiao, she has always been innocent and straightforward, although she acts a little impulsively, But there is absolutely no malice. If she offends Brother Tao in any way, please don't take offense."
In one sentence, Bixiao's rude words and violent fights were defined as pure, frank and impulsive actions, and the fault was completely wiped out.
Master Taiyi couldn't say anything at this time, so he could only say generously: "Friend Wu Dang is exaggerating. Junior Sister Bixiao's temper is also known to Pindao, so how can he blame her!"
Then he looked at Li Anran and others and said, "What are you doing standing still! Why don't you come over and pay homage to your uncle Wudang?"
Li Anran and Yang Jian hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Disciple pays homage to Uncle Wudang."
Master Taiyi knew that the Jade Emperor, Avalokitesvara, and the gods in heaven were observing the activities here through the art of water mirrors, but he deliberately emphasized that the three religions are one family, and the Jie religion belongs to Xuanmen.
"Get up."
The Holy Mother Wudang was also unable to say anything. She could only nod slightly, acknowledged the matter, and asked Taiyi Tianzun: "Brother Taiyi, I wonder where Li Anran learned the Immortal Killing Formation from? But was it taught by Taoist Brother? "
Taiyi Tianzun shook his head: "It's not the poor Taoist professor, it's his own chance." He turned to look at Li Anran.
Li Anran simply said: "The disciple once promised that the person who teaches the disciple's formation will never tell anyone his name and identity. Please forgive me, master, uncle."
If Li Anran was still a casual cultivator and he dared to deal with this matter so perfunctorily, Jie Jiao would never let it go and would force him to speak.
But now, he has Chanjiao as his backer, and it is still the land of Taiyi Tianzun, a person who protects his shortcomings, but he does not need to be afraid of intercepting the teacher and using force.
Taiyi Tianzun didn't really want to ask Li Anran, so he immediately looked at Our Lady of Wudang with embarrassment: "Fellow Wudang, look..."
A flash of anger flashed across Bixiao's face, and she was about to question him. Qiongxiao gave her a stern look and signaled her not to cause trouble again.
Bixiao could only turn his head angrily and stop talking.
The Wudang Holy Mother waved her hands, made an understanding expression, and said: "Since my nephew has promised to others, I will not ask about the origin of this Zhuxian Formation. However, this Zhuxian Formation is my Jiejiao Town. The formation method I taught was not passed down due to some reasons, so I asked my nephew to give it back to me to teach."
Taiyi Tianzun felt a little displeased when he heard the Mother Wudang intercepting the teachings one by one. He looked at Li Anran and asked, "How is it?"
He seemed to be asking Li Anran, but the rejection in his eyes should not be too obvious.
It was impossible for Li Anran to pass on this deadly weapon to others, so he fell to his knees on the ground and filled the scene.
"Master, it's not that this disciple intentionally hides anything! This Immortal Killing Formation is the number one killing formation in the world, and its use will harm the heaven and earth. When the disciple was practicing this formation, he swore never to pass it on to others. Anyone! Please forgive me, Master and Uncle!"
