Chapter 17: The Sages Take Action, Nüwa Obtains Treasure
Qian Kun Ding is one of the four great pre-heavenly treasures, born from the primordial chaos, containing the chaotic world, the law of the Great Way, and can turn the post-heaven into the pre-heaven, and even suppress the luck of the great teachings, it is a treasure that makes saints' hearts move!
"Amitabha Buddha!", Zhunti declared in a loud voice, saying: "This treasure has a predestined relationship with me in the Western Paradise! I will take it across!"
The three Eastern Sages hummed in unison, and the Tongtian Sect Master pointed at Zhunti with his Qingping sword, saying: "Zhunti, this treasure is clearly an object from my East, when did it have any connection to your West? You are truly shameless! In the past, you would occasionally visit my East to enjoy the autumn breeze, but today you actually dare to try and take possession of this treasure. You are not even a decent person!"
Zhun Ti's face turned bright red with rage as he shouted, "Tong Tian, we are both Saints of the Chaotic Origin, how dare you speak to me like that?! I won't let this slide today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his right hand held the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and swept it towards the Tongtian Sect Master, while his left hand shook his sleeve and covered the Qiankun Ding, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to collect this treasure.
Yuanshi Tianzun sneered and said, "Zhunti, you also claim to be a saint, yet you dare to play such a petty trick under our noses. Isn't that laughable?" At the same time, he wielded the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his hand and struck Zhunti's left hand.
Zhun Ti reluctantly withdrew his left hand, and the Tongtian Sect Master on that side saw Zhun Ti actually use this trick on himself, and was so enraged that he couldn't help it. With the Qingping sword in his hand, he stabbed, slashed, chopped, and hacked, each sword faster than the last, every sword aimed at killing Zhun Ti.
Yuanshi Tianzun retreated to one side, after all, he was a saint and had the demeanor of a saint. Now that the four saints were present, it would be beneath him to fight alongside Tongtian, which would make Zhunti lose face, something he absolutely refused to do.
Zhun Ti after all is just a saint who founded the teachings, cannot compare to Tong Tian Jiao Zhu, Lao Jun Yuan Shi Tong Tian besides founding the teachings, also has Pangu's merit of opening up the sky, although it can't be compared to Hong Xuan's cutting off the corpse and attaining the Dao, it is much stronger than Zhun Ti Nu Wa's guiding and inviting, in this way Zhun Ti gradually cannot withstand.
Zhun Ti suddenly became furious, jumped out of the battle circle, and pointed at Tong Tian Jiao Zhu, shouting: "Tong Tian, you have deceived people too much! Today, I will not show my skills, it's hard for you to know the great law of the Western Paradise!" Zhun Ti revealed a sacred image, with eighteen hands and twenty-four heads, holding a parasol canopy, a flower vase, a fish intestine, a divine mallet, a precious awl, a golden bell, a golden bow, a silver spear, and a banner flag.
Three Saints were shocked! Who would have thought that Zhuanti still had such magical powers, and they all thought that the Western Great Law was not without its flaws! The Master of Tongtian Sect furrowed his brow, put away the Qingping Sword, and took out another sword, which was the Exterminating Immortal Sword among the Four Swords to Vanquish Immortals. The Master of Tongtian Sect coldly snorted, saying: "Zhuanti, you scoundrel! Today, I will let you thoroughly experience my Western Great Law, so that you frogs at the bottom of the well won't look down on us, and also teach you to know that our Eastern side is not a place where you can come and go as you please!"
Zhun Ti was enraged upon hearing the words, holding a handful of magical instruments to smash towards Tong Tian. Tong Tian did not show any weakness either, with his Xuanshen sword radiating a fierce aura, devouring souls and snatching spirits. He parried left and right, thrust upwards and flipped downwards, his movements effortless and abundant. No matter how hard Zhun Ti tried, he could not withstand even the slightest bit of Tong Tian's attack. However, after all, Zhun Ti's Bodhi golden body was no ordinary thing, and Tong Tian found it difficult to harm him. Thus, they ended up in a stalemate!
At this moment, the old gentleman's cane struck the front of the Qiankun Ding, and suddenly a ripple appeared, revealing a twelve-petaled golden lotus.
The Supreme Elder Lord looked at Jin Lian coldly and said: "The guide of the Taoist friend is indeed anxious!"
Only then did a figure gradually appear on the golden lotus, and it was the Western Bliss World's Teaching Master who came to guide the Taoist. It turned out that Zhunti knew he was outnumbered and outmatched by the Three Sages of the East, so he had sent a message to Jieyin early on. During the battle between Zhunti and Tongtian, Laojun Yuan Shi concentrated his attention on the battlefield, and with the twelve-product golden lotus hidden aside, waiting for an opportunity to seize the Qiankun Ding. Unexpectedly, Laojun's Taoist practice was indeed higher than his, discovered that he wanted to take the Qiankun Ding, and struck him with a cane, forcing him to reveal his true form!
Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu were furious. The Qiankun Ding was after all a pre-heavenly treasure, who wouldn't want it? However, since Zhunti was an outsider, the three of them tacitly thought to drive him away first and then fight each other to determine the ownership of the Qiankun Ding. But unexpectedly, the two saints from the West almost took away the Qiankun Ding right under their noses, how could this not enrage Yuanshi and Tongtian?
Yuanshi Tianzun shouted at the two saints of the Western world: "You two are not worthy to be called human sons! Do you really think that there is no one in the Eastern world? Today, I will let you witness the true power of Pangu's orthodox sect!" As soon as he finished speaking, the three-treasured jade Ruyi in his hand flew out and struck down towards Jieyin. Jieyin did not dare to be careless and hastily activated the twelve-petaled golden lotus to protect himself tightly. After all, the three-treasured jade Ruyi was a magical artifact condensed from the three flowers on top of Yuanshi's head during his enlightenment, capable of damaging one's essence, energy, and spirit; even if it hit a saint, it could still cause harm.
Yuanshi Tianzun was indifferent and smashed the Twelve Golden Lotus with the Jade Ruyi, but no matter how he cast his spells, he couldn't budge it. He angrily said: "Jieyin, you're just a turtle, only knowing how to hide in your shell!"
The Taoist priest did not show any signs of shame or anger, but instead sat calmly on the golden lotus and said: "Fellow Taoist, you are blaming me! I didn't fight back to avoid accidentally harming the innocent creatures of the vast wilderness!"
Yuanshi Tianzun's face turned iron-green with rage, and he shifted the blame to him. It was not easy for saints to fight each other! The saint's move did not have a hint of smoke or fire, but it was devastating, destroying heaven and earth. Just now, when the four saints fought, they had turned thousands of miles of desolate land upside down, leaving only scorched earth and no living creatures, and who knows how many years it would take to recover! Those gods who were hiding far away were already trembling with fear, and today they finally witnessed the power of the saint. Indeed, he was not someone they could contend with, and their hearts grew even more reverent towards him!
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from beside the Qian Kun Ding and firmly grasped it. Hongyuan immediately appeared in his true form and calmly said to everyone: "If you continue fighting, you will destroy the Honghuang world. Why not go to Hun Dun instead?" As soon as he finished speaking, he opened up space and entered Hun Dun. The various saints looked at each other, then also opened up space and came to Hun Dun.
At this time, Hong Xuan had already placed the Qian Kun Ding in the center of everyone and said: "If you want to get this treasure, it's up to each of you!" After finishing speaking, he retreated far away. Although the crowd was puzzled as to why Hong Xuan didn't fight for the Qian Kun Ding, after all, having one less opponent meant having more control, so they stopped guessing and focused their attention on the Qian Kun Ding.
Yuanshi Tianzun coldly laughed and put away the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, then took out the Pangu Fan. He pointed it at Jieyin and shot out a stream of Chaotic Energy. Jieyin didn't dare to confront it head-on and hastily activated the Twelve-Product Golden Lotus to dodge to the side. Yuanshi coldly said: "You can dodge one, but can you dodge several?" As soon as he finished speaking, the Pangu Fan shook violently, shooting out multiple streams of Chaotic Sword Energy towards Jieyin. Jieyin continuously dodged and weaved, but was still hit by several streams of Chaotic Sword Energy. Instantly, the Golden Lotus shook violently, and its golden light dimmed significantly.
Yuanshi Tianzun saw the situation and urged the law to shake the Pangu fan, instantly shooting out 360 chaotic sword auras from the fan, which instantly formed a heavenly sword array. The sword array surrounded Jieyin, gradually gathering into three Chaotic Giant Swords in the form of Sancai, surrounding Jieyin. Jieyin's eyebrows were deeply furrowed, urging the lotus platform to produce billions of golden lotuses that tightly protected him at the center. The three Chaotic Giant Swords simultaneously chopped down towards Jieyin, instantly destroying the billions of golden lotuses, and the remaining force split onto the lotus platform, followed by a loud rumbling sound. However, it was seen that at this time, Jieyin's mouth corner was bleeding, and the twelve-product golden lotus in his hand was extremely dull.
Zhun Ti was shocked, just about to speak, when the guide stopped him and bowed to Si Qing, saying: "Good, good! It seems I lost. The two of us will return to the Daoist temple now!" After speaking, he pulled Zhun Ti away without paying attention to anyone else and returned to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.
Now only four of them were left, Hong Xuan did not want to seize the treasure, so there were only three people competing for it. However, after being brothers for billions of years, they fell silent towards each other.
But at this moment, Hongyuan faced the vast and empty space and said: "Sister Niwa, since you have come, why don't you show yourself!"
Nüwa, who was hiding on the side to watch the battle, had no choice but to reveal her figure and salute the four people: "Nüwa has seen the four masters!"
The four spirits were busy returning the courtesy. The Supreme Elder Lord said to Nüwa: "Is the goddess also here for this treasure?"
Nüwa said: "I'm just watching the battle, I have no intention of stealing the treasure."
San Sheng let out a sigh of relief, but suddenly the Qian Kun Ding that had been quietly floating in the chaos automatically flew to Nü Wa's head, hanging down strands of chaotic energy to protect her within.
Nüwa was overjoyed! The Three Pure Ones were shocked, and the Pangu Fan in Yuanshi's hand, the Zhuxian Sword of Tongtian Jiao, and the Cane of Taishang Laojun all flew towards the Qiankun Ding together. Nüwa was shocked and pale, just about to dodge, but it was too late. The three treasures fell on the Qiankun Ding, but saw that the Qiankun Ding did not move at all, still firmly suspended above Nüwa's head.
Nüwa was overjoyed, while the three saints' faces turned pale as iron.
Hong Xuan smiled and said: "This treasure is indeed destined for Nüwa's sister, I congratulate the sister on obtaining this precious treasure!"
The Supreme Elder sighed and said, "The Qian Kun Ding automatically recognizes its master, which shows that the Fourth Young Master's words are reasonable. This treasure indeed has a destiny with our Shifu's sister, I congratulate our Shifu's sister!"
Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu saw Hongyuan and Taishang Laojun like this, and looked at the Qiankun Ding on Nüwa's head, and reluctantly said: "Congratulations to my sister for getting this treasure!"
He didn't care about the crowd and returned to his own dojo.
The Supreme Elder said to Hong Xuan Dao: "However, your master's Tao is far superior to mine!" He sighed and left immediately!
Hong Xuan didn't mind, nodded at Nüwa, and seemingly unintentionally glanced in the direction of Zi Xiao Palace, also taking a step back to return to Qingxu Heaven.
In the depths of chaos, in the Purple Mist Palace, the Ancestor of Tao, Hongjun, manifested his physical form, gazed at the multitude of saints with a detached look in his eyes, and then hid his form again, returning to the Heavenly Way.
"It is: The sage's power shakes heaven and earth, especially the strong Pangu Orthodox."
Accidental flowers bloom on one's body, Nuwa's palm holds the universe tripod.
