Chapter 161: The Immortal Sword Formation Traps the Great God
Not long after, other great gods also noticed the difference here. As they were all saints with destiny, why were the Three Pure Ones and the two Western Lords already fighting each other, while these two were so carefree and even seemed to not care at all?
Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but ask: "Two junior brothers and sisters, why don't you speak up and decide who this purple energy belongs to?"
But Laozi turned his attention to Hengming, because this junior brother was the only one he could not see through, the other being their master Hongjun.
It was natural that Hongjun couldn't see through it. After all, he was the first Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian in the prehistoric times, the first sage, and the teacher of all future sages. Naturally, it was not something that a mere Daluo Jinxian like him at that time could see through.
But Heng Ming, who he couldn't see through, seemed particularly abnormal.
At the same time, he also knew that in the alliance between Nuwa and Hengming, Hengming held a dominant position, while Nuwa was more of a follower. After all, she, like her brother, was not good at these strategies.
"If Nuwa obtained this Hongmeng purple energy, she would definitely give it to Fuxi. The brother and sister are definitely more united than outsiders, and Hengming might be eliminated. But why didn't Nuwa fight for it? Is she worried about Hengming? Impossible. With the Hongmeng purple energy in front of her, everything else is false. There must be a reason that I don't know."
Lao Tzu's mind was turning over and over, his thoughts colliding, and he could even see sparks being born. It was obvious that this senior brother from Xuanmen had also begun to think seriously, and was no longer as calm and composed as before.
The temptation of a saint's position is enough to drive anyone crazy and make anyone lose their mind.
Heng Ming's face was calm, and he chuckled, "Junior Sister Nuwa and I have no intention of competing for this primordial purple energy. Master once said that this purple energy depends entirely on chance. If there is chance, this purple energy will naturally fall into my hands; if there is no chance, even if I force it, I will have to give it up in the future. Why bother to entangle so hard?"
But after hearing this, the gods present were not relieved, but became even more worried.
What opportunity or no opportunity? This sentence is only used to fool those who have low cultivation. Almost all the great gods present are in the realm of Hunyuan, and the remaining few are only half a step away from entering Hunyuan.
With their current level of cultivation, they can already ignore some opportunities and completely grasp ownerless things in their hands. They are the masters of destiny.
Heng Ming's words were nothing but a way of smoothing things over and playing Tai Chi. He evaded the question and did not directly answer Yuanshi Tianzun's question.
But he and Nuwa's cultivation was there, who dared to force them to make a decision? Even the Three Pure Ones would not do such a stupid thing.
The gods began to quarrel fiercely with each other again. Whenever one of them showed the intention to snatch the Hongmeng Purple Qi, they would be immediately stared at by the other gods. In the end, for fear of being excluded by the other gods, even the two races of Lich and Warlock had to endure the quarrel.
Tongtian saw that these people were arguing about the same few words, and a trace of murderous intent flashed across his brows. He immediately shouted: "There is no point in talking more, let's see what's really going on! No matter how much we talk, we still have to fight in the end. Come on, I'll set up a trap first, and if you can break it, I'll go back to Kunlun immediately."
Upon hearing this, Di Jun immediately smiled and said loudly, "Brother Tongtian is right. We are just trying to see who is the best. Since you want to attack first, I will not fight for it. Please set up the formation and we will break it from the outside."
Yuanshi Tianzun was about to stop Tongtian from speaking when Dijun interrupted him. His words put all the gods and Tongtian in opposition, and even hinted that all the gods should break the formation together.
When the others heard this, they naturally would not miss this opportunity, and they all started to praise Lingbao Tianzun for his righteousness and Brother Tongtian for his free and easy manner. In the end, Yuanshi Tianzun had to look at Laozi. After all, he loved his face the most. This time, Tongtian acted on his own initiative, so he had nothing to say.
I looked at the chattering gods, and suddenly a sharp light flashed in my calm eyes. I made a prompt decision and said, "Third brother, you set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation, and your second brother and I will guard the Zhuxian Sword Eye and the Juexian Sword Eye."
Tongtian didn't expect that Laozi would actually join forces with Yuanshi to help him, and he laughed and said, "If that's the case, I will definitely not let you two brothers down! Immortal Execution Sword Formation, start!"
With a loud shout from Tongtian, a huge formation diagram suddenly appeared under the feet of all the gods present, even Hengming and Nuwa in the distance were no exception.
The formation diagram flashed, and countless murderous auras rushed in like a tsunami, and finally turned into countless rivers of evil spirits, running through the inside and outside of the formation diagram. There was also a majestic and fierce aura spreading in all directions, as if the sky was angry, and even more like chaos rolling. Even if people in Hunyuan saw this scene, they would find it difficult to resist.
Before the gods could react, four swords were suddenly inserted into the four corners of the formation. On the hilts of the swords were engraved mysterious runes, which read "Zhu", "Lu", "Trap" and "Jue". They were the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.
Each of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian is not inferior to the innate spiritual treasure of the leader level. The four swords combined with the Zhu Xian formation diagram form the Zhu Xian sword formation that intimidates countless great gods.
A thunderclap suddenly appeared, and the evil spirit in the sky was raging wildly, and even turned into evil spirit thunder that kept smashing down. The gods present took out their magic treasures to fight, and Donghuang Taiyi even stood in front of Dijun, Changxi and Xihe. Only a Minghuang small bell was seen constantly emitting the sound of trapping the universe, and even the crazy evil spirit was forced to stop wherever it went.
Seeing that Tongtian had trapped all the gods present in the Zhuxian Sword Formation, Hengming couldn't help but laugh and said, "Junior sister, if all the great gods in the wilderness were as stupid as Tongtian, why would you and I have to work so hard to plan? We can just go straight to the door."
Nuwa also smiled and said, "It would be a great joy to have one great god like this, how can we expect the heaven and earth to give birth to more? Only Tongtian is easy to deal with, but Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun are not. I'm afraid they have come up with some ways to prevent us from breaking the formation together and making them lose face."
As Nuwa had expected, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun lamented in their hearts when they saw that Tongtian had captured all the gods into the formation, wondering why their younger brother was so stupid.
Yuanshi Tianzun said angrily, "Tongtian! How come you trapped all the great gods in the formation? You must know that many great gods have no intention of fighting for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, but by doing this, aren't you forcing them to fight with you?"
Tongtian, however, did not take it seriously. He was full of fighting spirit and shouted, "Those great gods did not intend to fight for it, but they could not fight for it, so they retreated to the side. I despise such villains the most! I might as well capture them all into the formation. With the help of my two brothers, I want to see who can break my Zhuxian Sword Formation!"
Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but close his eyes and calm down after hearing this, but Laozi was much calmer at this moment. The matter was done and there was nothing he could do about it. What he should do now is not to complain, but to find a solution.
Looking at the great gods who were showing some signs of joining forces, Laozi frowned slightly, and finally suddenly said loudly: "I hope that all Taoist friends will forgive me. My brother was not careful for a moment, so he accidentally let many Taoist friends into the formation. I also ask all Taoist friends who have no intention of competing for the Hongmeng Purple Qi to stand where they are. We will let you go soon."
But Tongtian's action really disgusted the great gods. Even Hengming and Nuwa, who did not want to compete for the Hongmeng purple energy, could not sit idly by at this moment.
Otherwise, wouldn't other people think that the two of them were made of clay and were bullied so badly that they didn't even dare to say a word? That would make them even more embarrassed.
Heng Ming sighed, "Junior sister, let's prepare to break the formation. It's really a spoiler to have such a large formation here."
Nuwa agreed, "Yes, it really spoils the scenery."
When the two of them left, they did not bring Bixia Yuanjun and others with them, because the Three Pure Ones were all Hunyuan Golden Immortals. So in order to break the formation, the Hunyuan Golden Immortals had to go, and the Daluo Golden Immortals were of little use.
As the evil spirit evolved, four gates gradually appeared in front of the gods. To the east was the Zhuxian Gate, to the south was the Luxian Gate, to the west was the Xianxian Gate, and to the north was the Juexian Gate. Among the four gates were four passes, and among the four passes were four gates. And in the four gates, four swords were hung.
If you want to break the formation, you have to break the four gates, four passes and four towers and capture the sword before you can succeed.
Dong Wanggong, Xi Wangmu, Donghuang Taiyi, Zhunti, and Jie Yin were discussing who should enter and how to break the formation, but they saw Hengming and Nuwa walking slowly towards them. They all rushed forward as if they had seen their backbone, and even Donghuang Taiyi was no exception.
Zhunti said with a bitter face: "Senior Brother Hengming, Senior Sister Nuwa, Senior Brother Sanqing has set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation, how can we break it?"
Jie Yin also said, "Master once said that the Immortal Execution Sword Formation cannot be broken without four people of the same level. If it was only Brother Tongtian who set it up, it would be fine, but Brother Laozi and Brother Yuanshi are among them. If we exchange two of them, we will be one person short and the sword formation cannot be broken. Please help us break the formation, brothers and sisters."
Several other people also made requests.
Heng Ming smiled and said, "Nu Wa and I came here just to help you break the formation. Although we are not greedy for the Hong Meng purple energy, we have lost face by being trapped in this sword formation. I will break the Zhu Xian Gate, and Sister Nu Wa will solve the Lu Xian Gate. As for the remaining two gates, let Zhunti lead the two brothers to them."
Dong Wanggong, Xi Wangmu, and Dong Huang Taiyi were naturally happy to have some free time when they heard that there was nothing for them to do here. However, Heng Ming said, "We will break the Immortal Execution Sword Formation. The three junior brothers can go and protect those fellows with lower cultivation to prevent them from being hurt by the aftermath of the sword formation."
The three of them naturally agreed after hearing this, because after the Zhu Xian Sword Formation was set up, the formations that trapped the gods collapsed one after another under the influence of the evil spirit. Although these gods were free, they were now inside the Zhu Xian Sword Formation. Their safety could not be guaranteed and they were very likely to die under the rampant evil spirit.
Just when they were panicking, they saw that there was still a great god who had not given up. They were naturally moved and thought that Hengming's action was naturally to create a good relationship.
The three of them naturally knew that they were the ones who did all the bad things, and Hengming got all the good things. But Hengming said it in a nice way. The four of them were the ones who had to break the Zhuxian Sword Formation. What was wrong with the three of them protecting the weak Great God? Naturally, they had to hold their noses and agree.
The four of them took a look at the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, and finally stepped into their respective portals.
