Chapter 829: Chapter 517: The Purpose
Purpose
“This…”
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole venue fell silent, and the expressions on the Immortal Gods’ faces were even more splendid.
Only Xu Yang remained unchanged. With an empty hand, he helped the three women to their feet and said with a smile, “The three fairies bestow upon me such favor, how could I dare to abandon it? Today, let the heavens and earth bear witness, and all immortals and fellow Taoists attest to the forging of this Sworn Brotherhood!
Upon hearing this, all three fairies were overjoyed and once again bowed in unison.
“Yun Qing!”
…
“Yun Ming!”
“Yun Yan!”
“We pay our respects to our elder brother!!!”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Seeing the three fairies bowing down, solidifying the oath of the Sworn Brotherhood, the immortals became even more silent, unsure of what to say.
“These Three Skies Cloud Immortals…”
“When it comes to acting, they are truly decisive!”
“How can they not be decisive? The Six Calamity Old Demon is watching them like a tiger longing for its prey, ready to cause trouble at any moment. Without finding a strong backer, they would have trouble resting easy.”
“There’s no way around it. There has always been the saying ‘Every day a thief, but not every day a guard against thieves.’ Who knows when the Six Calamity Old Demon might strike? With just the Nine Bends Remnant Formation, it’s simply not enough for defense; they need someone to shelter them from the storm.”
“Looking out across the Immortal Realm, those who can subdue a Six Calamity Old Demon and make them dare not attack include only the Buddhist Sect of Heavenly Court, the Netherworld Dragon Palace, and this Emperor of Ten Thousand Paths from South Observance.”
“The Buddhist Sect of Heavenly Court, with its great size and considerable business, although it is said to be good for cultivating within the public eye, there can be entanglements. As for the Netherworld Dragon Palace… I heard that not long ago, the Great Prince of the Eastern Sea personally visited the Three Immortals Island, wishing to form a union with the three fairies and bringing the two families together. However, he was kindly rejected by the Three Clouds.”
“Hmph, what kind of union between the two families? It’s clearly taking advantage of a situation. If they enter his Dragon Palace, not even their bones might be left!”
“The Dragon Clan is unreliable, not to mention the Underworld. Those Six Calamity and Seven Calamity Dragon Lords and Yamas, why would they delay their own cultivation for outsiders?”
“This Emperor of Ten Thousand Paths is different. Not only has he newly entered the Tribulation Realm, but he also possesses the Skill of Heavenly Mechanism, free from the troubles of cultivation and the annoyances of Heavenly Tribulation. He can even foresee events before they happen. Not to mention a Six Calamity Old Demon, even a Ninth Calamity Demon Lord might not be able to take someone from his grasp.”
“Add to that his performance at the Pill Origin Gathering and his sterling reputation over the past three thousand years. It’s not to say that the three fairies are head over heels in love, but they sincerely admire and willingly seize the opportunity tightly!”
“That’s only because this Emperor of Ten Thousand Paths is completely dedicated to the Tao, without a hint of licentious reputation. Otherwise, today’s event would be more than just a formality of becoming sworn siblings.”
“I had already heard that this Emperor of Ten Thousand Paths is a man of great character, not to mention his widespread friendships and fondness for making sworn bonds. Seeing him today confirms that it’s true!”
“Though it seems to court favor, it does indeed solve the problems of others. Coupled with the grace of passing on the Mana Point techniques and the merit of governance, this South Observance foundation—stable as Mount Tai indeed!”
“Look at the expression of the Peony Fairy, a consort’s grace is profound, a consort’s grace is profound indeed!”
“Hahaha!”
“Tsk tsk tsk!”
Witnessing the evidence of the Sworn Brotherhood, the thoughts of the crowd varied, but on their faces, not a hint was revealed, only praises and congratulations.
“The Pill Origin Gathering, the oaths of Sworn Brotherhood!”
“It will surely become a fine tale, passed down through the ages!”
“Wonderful indeed, wonderful indeed!”
Once the moment passed, the Three Clouds returned to their seats, and a new person took the stage—it was the Dragon King of the South Sea, Ao Qin.
Upon reaching the stage, Ao Qin bowed with his hands clasped, “I am ashamed. Up to this point in my cultivation, it has all been with the aid of the Dragon Clan’s bloodline, without much skill in mana points or Divine Power, save for one incomplete Array Formation, which I bring forth for participation with fellow Taoists.”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, the immortals did not show disappointment but instead took an interest: “Could it be another Heaven-Connecting Immortal Formation?”
“Indeed it is!”
Ao Qin nodded and continued, “This formation is called the Two Instruments and Four Images Formation. Like the Three Cloud Fairies’ Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, both are derived from the Heavenly Secret Realm. The formation harnesses the power of the Two Instruments and Four Images, even True Immortals dare not touch it. I have spent tens of thousands of years to slightly comprehend it, and I now seek guidance from fellow Taoists.”
With these words, the immortals grew even more interested and those of the Mahayana tier were intensely focused, while those below Mahayana remained clueless, as if shrouded in clouds and mist.
Fortunately, there was someone who explained just in time.
“Heaven-Connecting Immortal Formation, what Heaven-Connecting Immortal Formation?”
“You don’t know? Heaven-Connecting Immortal Formation is the Immortal Array inside the Heavenly Secret Realm.”
“It’s rumored that the Heavenly Secret Realm conceals the secrets of the Ancient Immortal Gods, along with numerous ancient treasures, immortal roots, and Divine Secret Skills, leading to legacies. Acquiring one such treasure allows for a pathway directly to the heavens, hence the name Heavenly Secret Realm.”
“But these Heaven-Connecting Treasures are not easily obtained; if one’s immortal power is not up to par, they cannot enter. In other words, at the very least, one needs Mahayana Cultivation to enter and explore the depths.”
“Those Heaven-Connecting Secret Treasures are either heavily guarded by prohibitions or sealed within Immortal Arrays. Not to mention Mahayana practitioners undergoing Tribulation, even True Immortals at the Nine Tribulations level dare not touch them casually. They can only slowly plan from the outside.”
“Therefore, among the Immortals and Gods of the Calamity Realm, apart from the exchange of Divine Secret Skills, what they are most passionate about is the secrets of the heavens—studying the prohibitions on spiritual treasures and the mystical intricacies of the Immortal Arrays. Every advancement, every breakthrough, brings immense benefits.”
“It is said that the Flat Peach Immortal Tree of Heavenly Court and the Bodhi Immortal Root of Buddhism were acquired by the Heavenly Court Taihuang and the Great Sun Mahavairocana, along with a group of immortals and Buddhas, after they had deciphered two great Immortal Arrays and extracted them from two Golden Immortal roots.”
“So that’s how it is, wait a minute, this old Dragon King is truly cunning. While others bring out their signature skills as a gesture of reciprocity, he uses the Heaven-Connecting Immortal Formation to fool people, wanting the Great Immortals and everyone else to solve it for him?”
“You can’t say it like that…”
The lower-ranking cultivators were abuzz with conversation.
The higher echelon of immortals watched with undivided attention.
“The Two Instruments and Four Images Formation!”
“One of the Heaven-Connecting Immortal Formations!”
“It is said to be left by the ‘Taiqing Taoist’ and contains countless treasures.”
“The South Sea Dragon Clan specializes in physical body cultivation, yet this Ao Qin is an anomaly, one of the few Array Formation Grandmasters among the South Sea Dragon Clan.”
“The Heavenly Secret Realm has been opened dozens of times both before and after, over tens of thousands of years. Apart from the Buddhist Sect of Heavenly Court, Monster Nation Demon Abyss, and the Four Great Taoist Dominions who have poured their entire resources into it, only a few Eight Order Nine Tribulations incomplete formations have been broken through.”
