The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 145 The Great Battle of Chan and Jie
Daoist Duobao looked at the many unruly disciples of the Jie Sect present and sighed softly.

Having no clear hierarchy is not a good thing, but there is indeed no one among them who can overpower all the immortals. If he designates a disciple as the leader, the other disciples of the Jie Sect will certainly be dissatisfied, even if they don't say it. In that case, it would be even worse if they outwardly obeyed but inwardly disobeyed.

After thinking it over, Daoist Duobao finally decided that they should fight their own battles!

Perhaps they will automatically unite when faced with a crisis.

"Fellow disciples, this battle for the Investiture of the Gods is of great importance, concerning the future fate of each and every one of you."

I hope you will consider this carefully and act prudently.

"I won't make any further arrangements here. You can all rely on your own methods," said Daoist Duobao solemnly.

"Yes, Senior Brother, please rest assured, we will definitely not disgrace the Jie Sect!"

"Yes, don't worry, senior brother, we will definitely do our best."

"This is a battlefield that will determine who will rise to godhood in the future, so we cannot be careless."

……

Many disciples of the Jie Sect echoed this sentiment.

Seeing their excited expressions, Daoist Duobao didn't say anything more.

Whether the future is good or bad is entirely up to them to decide. Anyway, the bottom line is there, and it won't be worse than the rogue cultivators of the prehistoric world.

Besides, with these direct disciples of the Jie Sect around, they could offer some assistance in the Heavenly Court after the Investiture of the Gods, which would be a way of not betraying the bond of fellow disciples.

As for other aspects, he really couldn't help. This was the Investiture of the Gods, as ordained by His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor. Who would dare to cheat?

Seeing that they had made their decision, Daoist Duobao waved his hand, dismissing them. In fact, this was also an opportunity for them to form a team, and he didn't need to give any instructions on how to do it.

After everyone had left, Wen Zhong suddenly stepped forward and asked Daoist Duobao, "Uncle-Master, may I ask about Master?"

Daoist Duobao waved his hand, interrupting Wen Zhong's question, and said directly, "Nephew, don't panic. With His Majesty of Heaven and Earth here, Junior Sister Jinling will be fine. It must be that His Majesty of Heaven and Earth has summoned her. She will be back in a while. Don't worry."

Wen Zhong nodded, then continued, "Uncle-Master, is the Shang Dynasty truly beyond saving this great calamity, aside from the Investiture of the Gods?"

Daoist Duobao smiled and shook his head, then gave Wen Zhong a subtle hint.

"Whether the Shang Dynasty can be saved or not depends on your choice, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty?" Wen Zhong looked puzzled. The person who died in the Earth's core was just a human. Although he was the emperor, he had no cultivation. How could he make decisions about matters concerning immortals and gods?

"Hehe, don't underestimate your emperor. Although he is the emperor and cannot cultivate, he is the incarnation of a powerful being. As long as he doesn't want the Shang Dynasty to perish, no one can destroy it." Daoist Duobao could only hint at this much. He was the first to discover that King Di Xin of Shang was the incarnation of Zhou Chen, because when the Destiny Treasure was reincarnated, he was on business in the Netherworld and witnessed it with his own eyes.

Wen Zhong was about to ask more questions, but Daoist Duobao had disappeared, clearly not wanting to discuss it further.

“Junior brother, since your master doesn’t want to talk about it anymore, let’s leave it at that! You and I will both be people of the Heavenly Court in the future, so it’s better to mind our own business in the mortal world.” Jingwei walked to Wen Zhong’s side, patted his shoulder, and comforted him softly.

Wen Zhong could only sigh and say no more.

Inside the council hall of Xiqi City, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy. After all, the four Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect had already passed away and were enshrined as gods. These were the pride of the Daoist sect. Although they were only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, their influence on morale was far greater than that of these rogue cultivators.

Everyone had a solemn expression, even among the Twelve Golden Immortals, including Jade Cauldron Immortal and Taiyi Immortal.

The only difference is that Antarctic Immortal Peak remains the same.

"Fellow disciples, fellow Daoists, although Master Randeng and Junior Brother Cihang suffered a defeat in the Investiture of the Gods battlefield, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, and you need not be so concerned." The Antarctic Immortal comforted everyone with a smile, as if the defeat of the Chan Sect had not affected him at all.

The disciples of the Chan Sect, including Jade Cauldron Immortal and Taiyi Immortal, were exceptionally talented and possessed top-notch comprehension. Upon seeing the attitude of the Antarctic Immortal, they all frowned slightly.

His senior brother had always been very protective of the disciples of the Jie Sect, so why was he acting so strangely today?
They could tell with a little guess that there was something fishy going on, but since their senior brother hadn't said much, they didn't want to ask rashly, lest they uncover other secrets.

However, they decided to wait until they had some free time to ask their senior brother what it was about.
Although the other rogue cultivators in the prehistoric world were unaware of the situation, they relaxed when they saw that even the Antarctic Immortal, the senior disciple of the Chan Sect, seemed unconcerned and confident. After all, they were just a few Great Luo Golden Immortals, far weaker than them. Although their combat power might be able to contend with those of rogue cultivators who lacked powerful spiritual treasures and cultivation techniques, their opponent was the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, the senior disciple of the Jie Sect. It was normal for them to suffer some setbacks.

After all, they had witnessed the power of the Golden Spirit Mother firsthand. She possessed the invincible divine power of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor and was a top-tier existence in the prehistoric world. Even the two original saints of the Western Sect did not dare to match her, let alone the several Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

Fortunately, the Golden Spirit Mother was taken away by that light, so they didn't have to face this incredibly powerful being.

"Senior brother, how should we deal with this tomorrow?" Jade Cauldron Immortal stepped forward and asked the Antarctic Immortal.

Although they don't know who the Jie Sect will send to fight tomorrow, they still need to make arrangements for their response.

They are part of the Shuntian faction, and victory comes with rewards, so they must try their best to win.

The Antarctic Immortal stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Tomorrow will definitely be a battlefield for quasi-saint level cultivators. Only Lü Yue, Luo Xuan, Shi Ji, and others from the Jie Sect are capable of fighting."

Although we don't know their order, we just need to be prepared to deal with these people.

We'll just have to adapt to the situation then!

After the Old Man of the South Pole finished speaking, everyone thought about it and agreed that it was indeed the case. Since they couldn't determine the opponent's actions for tomorrow, they only needed to prepare countermeasures for everyone.

Master Yuding nodded, cupped his hands in greeting to the Antarctic Immortal, and then retreated.

The other cultivators echoed this sentiment and offered their compliments to the Antarctic Immortal.

The Old Man of the South Pole didn't care about the praise from the crowd and still maintained his smiling, kind-hearted demeanor.

Grand Master Xuandu closed his eyes to meditate and did not participate.

Zhen Yuanzi, the Great Immortal, just smiled and looked at everyone present, but showed no intention of talking to them.

They were all preparing for the upcoming battles between the great supernatural beings. Although they were among the top great supernatural beings in the primordial world, none of the cultivators who reached the level of great supernatural beings were easy to deal with. Therefore, they had to prepare with all their might and strive to achieve a better ranking.

The next day arrived quickly.

The two sides lined up their troops and faced off beneath the city of Xiqi.

“Senior brother, let’s have all the quasi-saint realm cultivators participate today, so the seniors won’t have to wait too long,” Daoist Duobao said with a smile. Antarctic Immortal was slightly taken aback; he hadn’t expected Daoist Duobao to do this, but he didn’t object. It was bound to happen sooner or later anyway, and it wasn’t too important to them.

“Alright, we will do as you say, Junior Brother.” The Antarctic Immortal agreed, then turned around and gave instructions to the quasi-saint cultivators of the Western Zhou camp.

Daoist Duobao then turned around and began to instruct the quasi-saints of the Jie Sect.

Soon, the quasi-saints of the Jie Sect took the lead in setting up the formation, and the rogue cultivators of the Shang Dynasty also joined the formation.

It must be said that the array formations of the Jie Sect are unparalleled in the primordial world. Although these disciples cannot fully comprehend all their mysteries, they can still master one or two.

The battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods was divided into many areas, all of which were covered by formations.

However, apart from one powerful array formation, the rest are all common array formations from the prehistoric era.

Things like the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and the Eight Trigrams.

Although the Jie Sect's array formations were renowned throughout the primordial world, the art of array formations also tested one's natural talent. Developing a powerful array suitable for oneself was no easy task. It demanded a great deal of innate talent and comprehension.

Furthermore, the cultivators themselves have different mindsets. Luo Xuan and others valued formations more than cultivation levels, which is why we have such high attainments in the righteous path.

However, most cultivators focus on their cultivation level, and with limited natural talent, it would be counterproductive to be distracted by other things.

That's why such a situation occurred on the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods.

That incredibly powerful formation was none other than the Plague Formation.

It was created by Lü Yue, a madman of the Jie Sect. It is extremely powerful, but has a fatal flaw.

Lu Yue did not study the Great Dao of Formations, so his formations did not improve. However, he did learn a lot from the Ziwei Palace, studying the Dao of Poison to a very deep level and developing many toxins that could cause fatal damage to cultivators at the Quasi-Saint Realm, which he also added to the Plague Formation.

Other disciples of the Jie Sect, such as Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan had already unleashed his three-headed, six-armed supernatural power, each head wielding a fire-attribute spiritual treasure. Beside him, a Jie Sect cultivator assisted him; this person was none other than Luo Xuan's junior brother, Liu Huan. The two waited quietly for the Xiqi cultivators to arrive.

Shi Ji, wielding a sword, joined forces with other female immortals, including Caiyun Fairy, awaiting the start of the battle!
Many members of the Jie Sect and independent cultivators also displayed their full power, preparing for the upcoming great battle.

The cultivators of Xiqi, led by Master Yuding, also entered the Investiture of the Gods battlefield.

Both sides politely bowed to each other, and then began to fight.

Because he was the teacher of the Human Emperor, Master Yu Ding's cultivation was slightly higher, and he directly entered Lü Yue's Plague Formation.

Taiyi Zhenren then faced off against Luo Xuan, and as soon as the two clashed, Taiyi Zhenren was defeated and forced to flee in terror.

There's no way around it; despite Luo Xuan's lack of fame, his strength is formidable, especially his attack power and area-of-effect attacks.

He was a fire-type cultivator who controlled several divine fires from the primordial world. Although they were not as powerful as the Chaos Fire in the Golden Spirit Mother's Great Cauldron, their power was still astonishing.

For example, the True Fire of the Sun is the natal spirit fire of the Great Sun Golden Crow clan. Anyone below the Great Luo Golden Immortal level who even looks at it will die, and anyone who touches it will perish.

Ghostly flames do not harm the physical body; they primarily target the soul and spirit, making them particularly eerie and dangerous.

There are also many other flames, such as the Samadhi True Fire, the Pure Yang Fire, the Nanming Li Fire, and so on.

Of course, Luo Xuan also has his weaknesses, namely that his physical defense is much weaker.

It is a typical example of high attack and low defense; in the game, it belongs to the type of mobile turret player.

Taiyi Zhenren was on par with Luo Xuan, but his attack power was not as strong. Moreover, he had given most of his magical treasures to Nezha, leaving himself with only a sword. That's why he was beaten up by Luo Xuan as soon as they met.

Lady Shi Ji then engaged in combat with True Lord Qingxu Daode. She did not possess any particularly powerful magical treasures, unlike True Lord Qingxu Daode.

The Pure Void Moral True Lord possesses several incredibly powerful magical treasures, including the Eight-Sided Bright Silver Hammer, the Flying Lightning Spear, the Hunyuan Banner, the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, the Moye Sword, the Heart-Piercing Nail, the Marking Flower Basket, and the Gourd Divine Sand.

Each of these treasures possesses immense power; the sheer number of these innate spiritual treasures caused the timing to become somewhat stagnant.

But after a moment of stunned silence, the two engaged in a fierce battle, clashing with magical treasures and supernatural powers, leaving the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods in ruins.

Meanwhile, other cultivators from Xiqi and the rogue cultivators from the Shang Dynasty also engaged in fierce battle.

The destructive power of quasi-saints is unparalleled. This is only possible in the Investiture of the Gods battlefield. If it were in the original primordial world, it would probably cause the heavens and earth to collapse and the world to be destroyed, since there are simply too many quasi-saints now.

There are several thousand cultivators fighting between the two quasi-saints today, and the total number is over ten thousand.

The battles between so many quasi-saints were incredibly spectacular, but also extremely dangerous.

If any unsuspecting cultivator were to enter, even a quasi-saint would be instantly annihilated.

At this moment, Yu Ding was also inside the Plague Formation, constantly attacking Lü Yue.

Although Lü Yue had the blessing of the formation, which improved his cultivation, attack and defense, True Man Yu Ding was also prepared. Not only was he under the protection of the Heavenly Celebration Cloud, but he also had the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan in his hand, which could counter Lü Yue's formation.

This was also to save face for Lü Yue, so the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan was not used immediately.

But after a period of intense fighting, Master Yuding finally couldn't resist using the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan.

Because the Plague Formation was broken in a short time after using the magical treasure that could counter it, Lü Yue was helpless as the flaws in the formation were too obvious.

Lu Yue gritted his teeth, revealed his three heads and six arms, and continued to fight Jade Cauldron Immortal on land.

The battle lasted for a month, and in the end, the Chan Sect emerged victorious. After all, the Chan Sect disciples possessed numerous spiritual treasures, and the independent cultivators were also numerous and powerful. In the end, the Jie Sect was no match for them, so it can be considered a glorious defeat.

Of course, the Chan Sect also suffered heavy losses in this battle, with only disciples such as Yu Ding Zhenren, Tai Yi Zhenren, Qing Xu Dao De Zhen Jun, and Yun Zhong Zi surviving.

As for the rogue cultivators and other cultivators, their souls have already returned to the Investiture of the Gods, awaiting the end of the Investiture of the Gods war so they can ascend to the Heavenly Court.

After returning to the Xiqi camp, the Chan Sect cultivators began to recuperate from their injuries, hoping to perform better in the next war and ascend to a higher divine position in the future.
