Chapter Thirteen: Intercepting the Ancient Treasure, the Bodhi Formation Opens

  "How dare you!" The crowd in the midst of the battle was shocked by this scene. The golden light could move freely between the Vajra Bodhi Great Array and the Two Instruments Micro Dust Great Array, unaffected by their restrictive effects. From this point alone, it was clear that the newcomer's cultivation was not inferior to anyone else's. Moreover, both Feathered Immortal and Ox Demon King felt that the golden light seemed somewhat familiar.

  "Bang!" A crisp sound, but before everyone could react, the golden light had already hit the Four Elephant Tower.

  "Boom!" A loud noise erupted, and the Four Elephant Tower, which was about to break free from its seal, suddenly burst into a brilliant golden light. The four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind around it converged in a frenzy, actually repelling the golden light, and a figure emerged from within.

  "It's him!" As soon as the person appeared, everyone was shocked, especially Bull Demon King, whose eyes shot out cold glints when he saw that person.

  All that was seen was the man's life, with a thieving brow and mouse-like eyes, his body thin and gaunt, his appearance dry and withered. He wore a black Taoist robe, but had an aura of golden Buddhist light all over him, like a Bhikkhu. However, the Buddha light was not pure, with waves of bloody energy and filthy demonic energy mixed in.

  In the beginning, when the heavens and earth were first opened up, in the desolate western wilderness of the Honghuang, there existed a vast and dark Blood Sea, which was the most polluted place in the world. The Blood Sea was barren and resembled an embryo, within which a great deity was being nurtured - the ancestor of the Ashura tribe, Minghe Daoren. Minghe Daoren was one of the strongest beings in the Honghuang, having once listened to the Dao in the Zixiao Palace, and was one of the three thousand disciples of Hongjun. Although Minghe had not yet attained enlightenment, his divine powers were earth-shaking, and he was considered one of the top strongmen in the Honghuang. He condensed 480 million Blood Spirit Children, earning him the title "The Blood Sea will never dry up, and Minghe will never die". Alongside this, several precious treasures were born, shaking the Honghuang with their might.

  But it turns out that in this sea of blood, not only was the old ancestor of Minghe born, but also a six-winged black mosquito, which is a strange species from Honghuang. Because Minghe obtained the Tao first and later discovered that such a strange species could actually restrain the Xiuluo tribe, he had the intention to kill. Unexpectedly, the black mosquito was intelligent and escaped, hiding in the West, listening to the Buddhist teachings of the two masters every day. Later, during the Great Calamity of the Sealed Gods, this black mosquito absorbed the blood and flesh essence of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother who suffered the calamity, and even bit off three products from the twelve-product Golden Lotus Platform that guided people in the Western Teachings. Afterwards, the black mosquito transformed into a Taoist, calling himself Mosquito Taoist, who is the person before you now.

  Because the mosquito Taoist took advantage of the turtle spirit's weakness and sucked out her blood, flesh and vital energy, almost causing her soul to scatter, so all the people of the Intercepting Sect wanted to get rid of him before they could be at ease.

  So this time seeing his appearance, the Bull Demon King was so angry that he wanted to rush up and kill him with a stick, to avenge his own master's sister.

  The people who were fighting stopped and retreated, each on high alert against the other.

  "It was actually Mosquito Dao Ren." Yu Yue Xian glanced at Mosquito Dao Ren, but his eyes showed a cautious expression. He knew that this person was even more difficult to deal with than Niu Mo Wang, and his Blood Path Divine Ability made him almost invulnerable. Moreover, he had also cultivated Buddhist techniques and had obtained the true teachings of the two Buddhist masters. Most importantly, that mouth of his could even break open the Twelve-Petal Lotus Platform, which was comparable to a pre-heavenly treasure in terms of defense.

  "Heh heh!" Seeing that they had been discovered by the crowd, the mosquito dao person glanced around at everyone, and then burst out laughing, his voice a bit hoarse.

  "You thief, I haven't gone to find you, yet you've delivered yourself into my net. I see where you'll escape today?" Niu Mo Wang said with a loud voice, his eyes wide with anger, as he saw Mu Dao Ren looking at him.

  "Hum!" At this moment, a loud rumble sounded, and the four elephant pagodas in the center of the domain suddenly emitted boundless golden light, flying up, and at the same time, two objects flew out from the bottom of the tower, transforming into two streams of light heading in opposite directions.

  "Jade of the Sun and Moon!"

  "Kaleidoscope!"

  Everyone present recognized the two treasures as the ultimate treasures of Guiyuan Saint Mother and Wudang Saint Mother, two of the four great disciples of Jie Teaching who were cut off during the battle to seal the gods. During the battle to seal the gods, Jie Teaching was defeated, Guiyuan Saint Mother fell, and many other disciples either went on the list of sealed gods or were taken away by Western Teaching as slaves. The ancestor of Jie Teaching, Tongtian Daoist, had many treasures that were distributed among his disciples, but most of them disappeared during that battle. It was thought that the Moon Pearl was in the hands of someone from Western Teaching, but unexpectedly, Wudang Saint Mother was the only one whose whereabouts were unknown after the battle to seal the gods, and her treasure appeared here at this moment.

  Only to see the two treasures transformed into two streams of light, flying rapidly in the air above Bichu City, constantly colliding with the two large arrays, as if wanting to fly away. Only the middle treasure pagoda was flashing dazzling chaotic golden light, crystal clear and motionless.

  "Huh!" Zhuang Zhou, who had been hiding for a long time, suddenly showed a surprised expression, and then chuckled softly: "Interesting, it's actually her." But this made Hong Haier, who was beside him, confused.

  "Hum!" A sharp, piercing sound, and the mosquito Daoist suddenly transformed into tens of thousands of black mosquitoes, like a dark cloud rushing straight towards the Wheel of Rebirth.

  "The Taoist friend was anxious." Just as the mosquito Taoist moved, Yuèyì Xiān also moved. Among these three treasures, the one that tempted him the most was undoubtedly the Four Symbol Tower floating in mid-air. Yuèyì Xiān was the son of the Phoenix and, like his older brother, deeply inherited the legacy of the Phoenix Ancestor. It is said that when the heavens were opened, the Phoenix accidentally obtained two heavenly treasures: the pre-heavenly five-element essence and the yin-yang dual energy. The Phoenix Ancestor was inspired to give birth to two sons, who were Kongque and Dàpéng. However, his older brother Kong Xuan merged the five-element essence into his plumage, transforming it into a divine ability known as "Five-Colored Divine Light", which was considered one of the strongest divine abilities in the world. Even saints would be involuntarily drawn into it if they were not careful.

  Yuè Yì Xiān, however, had a different talent than his brother. He managed to refine the yin and yang energies into a single spiritual treasure, creating an ordinary innate spiritual treasure known as the "Yin Yang Two Energies Bottle". Inside it contained seven treasures, eight trigrams, twenty-four energies, requiring thirty-six people, following the number of heavenly garrison, in order to lift it. This treasure could hold people. When someone was inside and didn't speak or make a sound, the interior would be extremely cool. But as soon as they spoke, flames would erupt, and in an instant, turn into pus and blood.

  Yuyi Xian had this treasure, which could capture people and objects, sharp beyond compare, but its own defense was slightly insufficient, so it naturally hoped to seize a defensive treasure.

  However, at this moment, all parties are staring at the Four Elephant Pagodas floating in the arena. Yuè Yì Xiān naturally shifted his attention to the Wheel of Reincarnation, after all, the reincarnation law contained within the mirror is complementary to the yin-yang law he has comprehended. Unexpectedly, Wén Dào Réng took a step ahead and activated his divine ability. In an instant, he transformed into a gigantic Golden Peng that filled the sky, chasing towards that patch of dark clouds.

  "Brother, I'm here to help you." Behind Yin Xi, a young Daoist suddenly appeared, took out a precious fan with a casual hand, and fanned in the direction of the two people. Suddenly, flames rose into the air, chasing after them.

  "Ah!" The Winged Immortal, who was hotly pursuing the Mosquito Daoist, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine as a wave of heat approached from behind. He hastily dodged to the side, only to see ten thousand flames erupting into the sky in an instant, collapsing space and forming a sea of fire that engulfed the "Black Cloud" transformed by the Mosquito Daoist. Startled, he broke out in cold sweat, turned his head around, and saw a Daoist in green robes standing behind Yin Xi, whose cultivation was only at the Golden Immortal realm, but whose eyes shone with an intense, icy light.

  "Ha ha!" A strange laugh suddenly rang out, and a figure appeared above the sea of flames. It was that black-clad figure, Miao Dao Ren. He glanced at everyone with a playful expression, then transformed into a stream of light heading towards the nearby Wheel of Reincarnation Mirror which was currently being attacked by the law array.

  "Hmm!" Yuè Yì Xiān saw this, but couldn't help it, and transformed into a golden light, rising with the sound of wind and thunder towards the direction where the Wheel of Rebirth Mirror was located.

  "Wu Huo Qi Juan Shan!" The Ox Demon King and Mahākā?yapa looked at each other, their faces stern as they gazed at the young man standing behind Yin Xi. It seemed that although the two sects appeared to be in harmony on the surface, since the Human Sect had come to seize the treasure, the Chan Sect would also want a share of it.

  "Master!" At this time, Mahakasyapa on the side spoke up and bowed to Ox King, then said: "I'll leave the Four Elephant Tusks to Master. How about I take the Sun and Moon Pearl back to report to Buddha?"

  "Hmm!" The Bull Demon King heard this, and his eyes flashed with a hint of uncertainty. Suddenly, the great Mahayana stretched out his hand, transforming it into a massive palm that filled the sky, once again unleashing the divine power of the Buddha Realm within his palm, pressing down directly onto the Four Elephant Tusks in the arena.

  "How dare you!" Just then, Yin Xi, who was standing beside him, saw this and was greatly shocked. He spat out a million sword energies from his mouth, striking towards the golden giant palm.

  "Boom!" A loud explosion sounded, and seven rays of light shot out from the hands of the green-robed Taoist behind Yin Xi, transforming into seven divine birds: the phoenix, the blue luan, the great peng, the peacock, the white crane, the swan, and the hawk. Wrapped in a sea of flames, they suddenly appeared and struck the palm of Mahākā?yapa's Buddha Realm.

  "You!" The Bull Demon King beside him finally came to his senses, but was greatly enraged, and the mixed iron club in his hand struck directly at Mahākā?yapa.

  "Buddha has a diamond-like angry gaze!" Mahākā?yapa saw the three people striking towards him, but his face was stern and serious. With a loud shout, countless golden lights burst forth from his body, and a single shadow of ten thousand meters emerged from within him, transforming into an Angry-Eyed Vajra that blocked the iron staff of Bull Demon King.

  A void world took shape in his hands, and then he put away the Four Elephant Crystal Pagoda.

  "Pffft!" A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from Mahākā?yapa's mouth, despite his profound mastery of the Way. However, facing Ox King who was slightly stronger than himself and Yin Xi who was almost on par with him, he had suffered no light injury.

  "Heh heh!" Mahakasyapa cracked a smile, and actually started laughing.

  "Hand over the Four Elephant Tusks." Yin Xi saw this and was greatly enraged, a pair of male and female treasure swords appeared in his hands as he charged towards Mahakasyapa.

  "Hum!" A faint tremble, and the large array behind Mahākā?yapa suddenly emitted countless golden lights. The fragrance of sandalwood wafted through the air as Bodhi trees stood tall, yet different from before. Mahākā?yapa let out a loud laugh and retreated back in.

  "Bodhi's Great Formation!" The Ox Demon King saw this and was greatly shocked.

  "Ah!" Yin Xi saw this, and was both shocked and angry. A seal decision was made, and the entire Two Instruments Micro Dust Great Array began to tremble. The mountains, rivers, heaven, and earth within the array became even more solidified. All sorts of scenery rushed forth, directly pressing down on the Buddhist gate's great array. The Golden Vajra Mustard Seed Great Array was a famous array in the Primordial Chaos, but the Bodhi Great Array was not ordinary. It was passed down by the two ancestral teachers of the Western Sect, and was a top-level array in the Primordial Chaos that rivaled the Two Instruments Micro Dust Great Array. Compared to the Witch Clan's Twelve Capital Heavens God Slaughter Great Array and the Ancient Demon Clan's Heavenly Cycle Star Fighting Great Array, it was only slightly inferior.

  "Bang!" A light sound, Zhēnshēn (a Buddhist term for a monk) was in the middle of a big formation, and suddenly felt a chill...
