Then Yuanshi flicked his hand, and the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner was thrown out. Hongyun also released the Eastern Azure Lotus Colored Banner in his hand!
One by one, lotus flowers appeared in the air, forming mysterious and unfathomable formations!
The two banners continuously collided in the air. The Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner emitted waves of water-blue light screens that swept towards the Azure Lotus Colored Banner!
However, the lotus flowers emanating from the Azure Lotus Colored Banner also blocked the water-blue light screens, and the two small banners fought to a draw in the air!
"As expected of the Five Directional Banners!" Tongtian said with a smile!
"Indeed, the might of a supreme innate spiritual treasure is truly extraordinary!" Taiqing Laozi also nodded!
Then Zhenyuanzi smiled and said, "This humble one has also obtained a supreme innate spiritual treasure, and I shall test it!"
With that, Zhenyuanzi threw out his Bitter Bamboo Staff!
The Bitter Bamboo Staff instantly split into six in the air, sealing the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner from all directions!
Hongyun had already retracted his Azure Lotus Colored Banner by this time.
Yuanshi laughed heartily and said, "A good spiritual treasure!" With a flick of his finger, the Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner immediately emitted rolling blue light screens, which quickly broke through the blockade of the Bitter Bamboo Staff!
Zhenyuanzi frowned, waved his hand to retrieve the Bitter Bamboo Staff, and then said, "The Five Directional Banners are indeed the cream of the crop among supreme spiritual treasures. My Bitter Bamboo Staff is no match for them!"
Taiqing Laozi shook his head and said, "Your Bitter Bamboo Staff is more for sealing the six senses of others, not for battling treasures. You should not mistake the means for the end!"
Zhenyuanzi nodded, acknowledging the advice!
After a brief conversation, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun took their leave!
Taiqing Laozi saw Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun out of Kunlun before returning!
"My two younger brothers may depart as you wish!" Seeing that Yuanshi and Tongtian were still present, Taiqing Laozi said with a smile!
The two then left. After all, this discussion on the Dao had yielded some rewards. Yuanshi and Tongtian had also drunk the enlightenment tea and planned to go into seclusion for a period to break through from the mid-stage to the late-stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
After the two left, Taiqing Laozi began to ponder. This tribulation was both the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation and the battle between Dao and Demon. His path of proving the Dao through laws seemed unlikely to work!
After all, Hongjun would merge with the Heavenly Dao after proving the Dao, and then the Heavenly Dao would be complete. For Taiqing Laozi, there would be no time to prove the Dao by sheer force!
Moreover, after proving the Dao by sheer force, the Great Desolation might not be able to accommodate him!
Therefore, he had only two paths to choose from: first, follow the Dao Ancestor and prove the Dao by severing three corpses; second, prove the Dao with merit!
As for the Dao Ancestor's method of severing three corpses, there were many problems. Otherwise, there would not be no one who had successfully proven the Dao. They could only sever three corpses but not prove the Dao. There must be some crucial information, which he could ask about later!
The second method, proving the Dao with merit, had nothing to say. He himself possessed the merit of opening the heavens. As long as the time was right, he could directly prove the Dao with merit. However, this was only to be used as a last resort!
The most pressing matter was to understand the mysteries of severing three corpses. However, he did not know where old man Hongjun was. He was also busy dealing with the Demon Ancestor, so he probably wouldn't see him!
But under the current circumstances, Taiqing Laozi decided to continue refining his body and cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique. As for other matters, he would wait for the Dao Ancestor to preach!
In Mount Sumeru, Demon Ancestor Luohu looked at Minghe with satisfaction and said, "Minghe, you may return to your Sea of Blood. I am about to do something great. If it succeeds, you will also have your fate. If it fails, then I entrust my entire Dao lineage to you!"
"Master, can I be of any help?" Minghe asked quickly, as Demon Ancestor Luohu had treated him very well, and he vaguely sensed that the heavenly tribulation seemed to have truly arrived!
"Go. I appreciate your good intentions. If I succeed, there will be no shortage of Grand Unity Golden Immortals like you. If I fail, it will be a matter of not being a Grand Unity Golden Immortal anymore!" Demon Ancestor Luohu's expression became somewhat desolate as he spoke the latter part!
At this moment, under Demon Ancestor Luohu's arrangements, the three tribes were nearing their end. It was time to reap the rewards of his schemes!
"Ancestor Lin, Ancestor Feng, how dare you be so presumptuous!" Ancestor Dragon's deep voice resounded throughout the Great Desolation!
The war between the three tribes was nearing its end!
Taiqing Laozi in Mount Kunlun looked up. "So soon?"
However, he was also looking forward to what the battle between Dao and Demon would be like. Unfortunately, his strength was still too weak, otherwise, he could go and watch the excitement!
As the three tribes fought fiercely, Ancestor Dragon, Ancestor Lin, and Ancestor Feng were clearly enraged. Their descendants had inexplicably all died, and they only knew that the other side was responsible. At this point, only by destroying the other side could they unify the Great Desolation and advance further with the luck of heaven and earth!
"Fellow Daoists, it is time to go!" Hongjun said calmly on Mount Yujing! Beside Hongjun were Patriarch Yang Mei, Patriarch Yin Yang, and Patriarch Qian Kun. He had prepared for this day for a long time, and now it was time for a reckoning!
Looking at Hongjun, a trace of envy flashed in Patriarch Yin Yang's eyes. After all, Hongjun had many spiritual treasures, while he, a dignified quasi-saint, only had a companion spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, which was merely a high-grade spiritual treasure! Looking at Patriarch Qian Kun beside him, with his integrated offensive and defensive equipment, made him drool!
As for Yang Mei, he couldn't see through him at all. He seemed to have no magical treasures, but Hongjun respected him greatly, so he must have a trump card!
"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, does the prior agreement still hold?" Patriarch Yin Yang asked!
Hongjun nodded, glanced at the Taiji Diagram in his hand, and said, "As long as you help break the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, this primordial supreme treasure, the Taiji Diagram, will be given to you!"
Patriarch Yin Yang was overjoyed and said nothing further. The group then left Mount Yujing and headed west!
At this moment, due to the full-scale battle between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes, the world was filled with malevolent energy. Demon Ancestor Luohu appeared and waved his hand. Mount Sumeru split open, and four treasure swords emanating fierce malevolent energy flew out. They absorbed the malevolent energy of heaven and earth like giant whales slurping water to replenish themselves!
This was why Demon Ancestor Luohu had instigated the three tribes to fight fiercely. It was not only to borrow the luck of the three tribes but also to forge his Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!
Now that he had absorbed so much malevolent energy, Demon Ancestor Luohu felt that his Immortal Slaying Sword Formation should be almost complete!
This was his secret weapon that he had been preparing all along!
Unfortunately, Hongjun possessed the Creation Jade Disk and had always known about this matter. Otherwise, the outcome of the battle would truly be uncertain!
"Haha, excellent, excellent! You three tribes have committed so much slaughter, yet you still wish to unify the Great Desolation. Are you worthy!" At this moment, Demon Ancestor Luohu appeared. With a wave of his hand, he unfurled a formation diagram. The four flying swords emanating heavy malevolent energy began to absorb the surrounding malevolent energy. As the four treasure swords glinted with a faint cold light, Demon Ancestor Luohu knew that his Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was complete!
