"Boom—"
The Pharmacist with the Glaze Pagoda casually threw out a pagoda, which transformed into a colossal structure towering thousands of feet tall, instantly suppressing the "Sunlight Bodhisattva" at the base of the pagoda.
But in the next moment, the Glazed Pagoda was blasted away with a "bang".
The "Sword Immortal" radiated boundless light, unexpectedly detonating the power of faith from countless followers in the Pure Glaze Realm, borrowing infinite strength, and instantly blew the Glazed Pagoda away.
This move was exactly leveraging force against force.
Utilizing the power of faith from the Buddhist Sect to contend against this grand Buddha!
Even with a mind as still as water, the Pharmacist with the Glaze Pagoda couldn't help but stir up ripples at this moment.
And the Moonlight Bodhisattva behind him couldn't help but speak up, questioning: "Who exactly are you, and where is my fellow apprentice Sunlight at the moment?"
"Sunlight Bodhisattva is safe..." the "Sword Immortal" revealed a hearty smile, "If you wish to know, why not surrender yourself as well? Then, I could lock you up in the same place."
"In your dreams!" the Moonlight Bodhisattva scolded angrily.
At this moment, the Pharmacist with the Glaze Pagoda looked at the "Sword Immortal" and frowned, "How long have you been impersonating Sunlight and lurking in my Western Paradise?"
The "Sword Immortal" answered briskly, "Not long, just a hundred and eighty years."
"A hundred and eighty years..."
The Pharmacist with the Glaze Pagoda repeated, seemingly recalling the details of his interactions with "Sunlight" during that period.
"Stop wasting words with him!"
Virochana Buddha urged anxiously: "He has taken the Six Soul Banner, we must seize it back!"
Maitreya Buddha also frowned and said, "Impersonating Sunlight Bodhisattva, seizing the opportunity to steal the Six Soul Banner, able to sever the arm of Virochana Buddha with a single sword... Could he possibly be that premier disciple of Jie Sect?"
Upon these words, everyone present turned their gaze toward that "Sword Immortal".
Even Zhao Gongming and others who were busy setting up formations, couldn't help but distract a part of their mind waiting for the answer.
They had not heard any news about Master Brother Duobao for a long time.
Since he was swept away by the Taiching Saint with the Wind-Fire Cushion inside the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, he had not been seen by anyone.
There were rumors that Tongtian Sect Hierarch paid a great price to bargain for Duobao Taoist's survival; others said that Duobao Taoist was suppressed in the Xuan Du Cave, never to leave for eternity; and some said that Duobao Taoist had been thrown into the Furnace of Eight Trigrams by the Taiching Saint, refined into a furnace of Nine Revolutions Primordial Pills, the effect of which is a thousand times stronger than the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill...
"I've told you I'm just a Sword Immortal!"
The "Sword Immortal" spoke while tossing out the stolen Six Soul Banner.
Upon a flash of golden light, despite the great distance, the Six Soul Banner directly reached the Golden Spirit Saint Mother who was busy setting up the Great Formation in the Nine Heavens.
She seemed not at all surprised and smoothly caught the Six Soul Banner, using it as the formation's focal point to set up the Myriad Immortals Formation.
The Six Soul Banner is a treasure of the Tongtian Sect Hierarch.
Although it previously fell into the hands of Virochana Buddha, with his strength, it was clearly impossible to erase the primordial spirit imprint of the Tongtian Sect Hierarch.
Thus, this Six Soul Banner still belonged to the Tongtian Sect Hierarch.
With its spirituality, it naturally would not resist being used by the Golden Spirit Saint Mother.
As the Golden Spirit Saint Mother respectfully bowed to the Six Soul Banner, the banner suddenly surged against the wind, transforming in a mere instant into a towering giant banner approximately ten thousand feet tall.
Seeing this scene, the morale of the Jie Sect disciples was greatly boosted.
Aside from hoping to set up the Myriad Immortals Formation, they also had a clear understanding of the true identity of that "Sword Immortal".
While a few Buddhas were a bit bewildered.
They had never imagined that this person, rumored to have perished, would actually hide within the Buddhist Sect!
Undoubtedly, this person under the guise of a "Sword Immortal" and using the appearance of "Sunlight", must have already attained the realm of a Quasi-Saint. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to hide his identity under their very eyes.
Especially for the Pharmacist with the Glaze Pagoda.
Thinking that a master, whose Dao Xing realm far surpassed his own, was stationed right behind him every day, and for a hundred and eighty years at that, made him unconsciously break out in cold sweat.
Fortunately, his aim was to seize the Six Soul Banner!
If it had been sabotage, he feared he might be silently killed without notice!
…
Palace of the Polestar
The Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court rushed over.
The battle between the Western Heaven Buddhist Sect and Yu Yuan had severely impacted the Heavenly Court.
At least ten thousand Immortal Palaces were destroyed, countless Immortal Gods were gravely injured, and some even perished on the spot.
Many of the Heavenly Court Immortal Gods were filled with righteous indignation.
Heavenly Court is not a battlefield!
Certainly, it's not a battlefield for the Buddhist Sect of the Western Heaven!
At this moment, the Jade Emperor solemnly sits at the pinnacle of the skies, adorned in his ceremonial robes, wearing a golden crown, his back straight as a rod, his majestic presence intimidating.
He quietly contemplates, his expression stern, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the Immortal Gods who had come to receive orders.
He knew clearly who among these Immortal Gods were wholeheartedly loyal and who were fair-weather followers.
Suddenly, the Jade Emperor gave his command loudly, his voice echoing through the Heaven Palace like thunder, "All Immortal Officials, heed my order!"
The Immortals quickly knelt and responded in unison, "Your humble servants are here!"
The Jade Emperor continued gravely: "Currently, there are numerous disturbances within the Heavenly Court. The Buddhist Sect of the Western Heaven roams unchecked, violating the divine laws and order, an outrage to both gods and men.
I have decided to personally intervene to quell the chaos and restore peace to the Heavenly Realm."
The majority of the Immortal Gods were thrilled to hear this.
However, a few Immortal Gods' expressions changed drastically, their hearts filled with trepidation.
The Jade Emperor, with a profound look in his eyes, solemnly said: "All members of the Immortal Class must harbor good intents, protect the lives of the Three Realms, and maintain the balance and order of Heaven and Earth.
I can overlook past events.
But from today onwards, you must all strictly adhere to the rules of the Heavenly Court and guard against wicked intentions."
After speaking, he summoned trusted Immortal Gods like Li Changgeng, Yang Jian, and Tianpeng to take charge of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
Once the arrangements were in place, the Jade Emperor summoned the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Chariot and set off to the 'battlefield' with a host of Immortal Gods in a grand display.
...
Meanwhile, Pharmacist Glazed Buddha also said gravely: "The situation indeed is not very promising, we must retrieve the Six Soul Banner and prevent them from forming the Myriad Immortals Formation!"
The other three Buddhas also recognized that the situation had deviated far too much from what they had anticipated.
Presently, though Buddha himself hadn't arrived, he was engaging in a battle from an infinitely far distance, embodying his 'Buddha' form to combat Yu Yuan, who was exhibiting the Divine Skills of 'Heavenly Earth Transformation'.
Their duel could not be decided in a short time.
But if these Jie Sect disciples were allowed to form the Myriad Immortals Formation, the outcome could be determined instantly!
Not only would their mission likely fail then, but even they themselves could be at risk of perishing!
Thus, the most crucial task at hand was to prevent these Jie Sect disciples from forming the Myriad Immortals Formation!
"Li Jing!"
The eyes of Maitreya Buddha, filled with joy and benevolence, looked towards Li Jing and the others who had retreated afar, issuing an irrefutable command: "Mobilize all Heavenly Soldiers and Generals immediately, fully encircle all Jie Sect disciples present!"
His voice carried the essence of enchanting Dharma, causing Li Jing and others, despite initial hesitations, to carry out his order without delay.
Countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals under the command of Li Jing and others launched an attack on the Jie Sect disciples.
These disciples, being less experienced in their Dao practices, were naturally no match for them.
But these Jie Sect disciples are all named on the Investiture of the Gods.
If they were to counterattack these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, they would be violating the divine laws and would immediately invite the punishment of the Divine Beating Whip.
For a time, many Jie Sect disciples were encircled by the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
Armed only with their Spiritual Treasures, they did not retaliate.
This naturally precluded them from participating in the formation.
Simultaneously, Pharmacist Glazed Buddha and Maitreya Buddha each used their treasures to strike at Duobao Taoist; while Joyful Buddha and Virochana Buddha used their own methods to attack Golden Spirit Saint Mother toward the Nine Heavens.
Duobao Taoist was relatively holding up well.
Though Pharmacist Glazed Buddha and Maitreya Buddha were profoundly deep in their Dao, he managed to fight against the two without falling short.
Difficulty befell Golden Spirit Saint Mother.
At this moment, she was focused on the formation, having no capacity to fend off the two, and could only mobilize the Four Symbols Tower to protect herself.
But facing two nearly-Saint powerful beings, a mere defensive stance could only protect her momentarily and definitely couldn't last long.
Just then, two figures wrapped in mysterious yellow energy abruptly appeared beside Golden Spirit Saint Mother.
One of them was a tall figure, gallant in appearance, draped in ceremonial robes, head adorned with a golden crown, majestic and imposing; the other, a slender figure, wearing a Phoenix Crown and clad in radiating robes, elegant and dignified!
These two were none other than the Supreme of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor and the Golden Mother.
"You people from the West dare to act recklessly, disturb the serenity of my Heavenly Court, ruin our laws and endanger the lives of our Immortal Gods, today I will certainly not spare you!"
The Jade Emperor, abandoning his previously reserved demeanor, shouted vigorously with heroic presence.
At the same time, he swung his hand, launching a pagoda enveloped in purple mist, suppressing it down towards Joyful Buddha.
And Golden Mother also made her move, a small flag flew out from her palm, fluttering in the wind, emitting Innate Treasure Light, with purple mist and clouds billowing, enveloping Virochana Buddha within…
