Chapter Fifty
When Yuanshi Tianzun arrived earlier, Baifu saw the Three Xiang sisters take control of the immortals in the Yuxu Palace one by one, cutting off the three flowers on their heads and dispersing the five energies in their chests. In his heart, he knew that this was the result of the Three Xiang's pent-up energy needing to be released. Anyway, most of those guys in the Yuxu Palace were rebellious, and later the Western Sect would naturally help them recover their cultivation. Even if they didn't have any resentment, Yuanshi Tianzun would definitely take care of their lost cultivation, so there was no need to worry.
Bo Yu was worried that the face of Yuan Shi Tian Zun would not go up and down, and San Chao would speak out again, which would make things difficult for Yuan Shi and Lao Jun to deal with. At least in the book, it is clear that San Chao's brain was kicked by something unknown, making it impossible even if Tongtian Jiao Zhu came in person. "Forget it, anyway I'm here. Selling a face should still work." Bo Yu also didn't bother to think much and said to himself.
At this time, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign arrived, and in front of the Western Qi camp, a celebratory cloud appeared, about one mu (a unit of area) in size. Above it, five-colored radiant lights were released, with millions of golden lanterns, each one falling down like continuous dripping water from the eaves. Everyone in the Yun Xiao group knew that their Master Uncle, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, had arrived. Yun Xiao was about to retreat, but previously, he had transformed all the Golden Immortals in the Jade Void Palace into mortal bodies, and this matter had already become a situation where it was difficult to turn back. Having no choice, San Xiao had to come out of formation to meet him. As written in the book, Yuanshi first spoke to scold San Xiao a few sentences before entering the Yellow River Formation to observe.
Three goddesses first entered the formation, ascended to the Bagua platform, and waited to see how Yuanshi would come. Moreover, Tianzun patted the flying chair and proceeded directly into the formation; the incense sedan chair was two feet off the ground, supported by auspicious clouds, with propitious colors soaring about. When Tianzun entered the formation, his wise eyes shone brightly, seeing the twelve disciples sleeping horizontally or vertically, their eyes closed. Tianzun sighed and said: "It's all because the three corpses were not beheaded, the six breaths have not been swallowed; in vain was the effort of a thousand years!" After finishing speaking this pile of nonsense, he wanted to exit the formation. After exiting the formation, he also didn't speak, returning to the Western Qi army camp and sitting quietly within the reed shed.
Laozi rode a cow down from the sky, Yuan Shi came to greet him from afar and laughed, saying: "For the Zhou family's 800-year-old business, it's worth having Brother Dao come in person!" Laozi said: "I had no choice but to come." Burning lamps and incense led the way up to the canopy, Xuan Dou Dafa followed behind. Burning lamps paid respects, Zi Ya knocked his head, and the two Heavenly Honors sat down. Laozi said: "The three immortal children set up a 'Yellow River Formation', I taught my disciples to all be trapped in this, have you gone to take a look?" Yuan Shi said: "This poor Daoist went ahead to take a look, it was just as the prophecy said, so I waited for Brother Dao." Laozi said: "You've already broken through, why did you need to wait for me?" The two Heavenly Honors sat silently without speaking. Now, let's talk about the three ladies in the formation, who saw a delicate tower appear above Laozi's head in mid-air, with five-colored aura, appearing and disappearing above.
All three were disheartened, but after discussing it, Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao decided: "Since we weren't taught by the same master, why bother with him?" Bo Fu just sighed and shook his head at the side, lamenting that those two sisters were unreliable.
The next day, Laozi said to Yuanshi, "Today we broke the 'Yellow River Formation' and returned early. The red dust is not suitable for long stay." Yuanshi said, "Brother Dao's words are correct." He ordered Nanji Xianweng to tidy up the incense chariot; Laozi got on the board angle green cow, lit the lamp to guide the way, and the fragrance filled the air. When they arrived at the front of the "Yellow River Formation", Xuandu Dafashi shouted loudly, "Three Immortal Ladies, come quickly to receive the carriage!" Inside, a bell rang, and three ladies came out of the formation, standing but not bowing. Laozi said, "You don't follow the rules of propriety, dare to be rude! Your master sees me and bows his head, how dare you be impolite?" Bixiao said, "I only know the Jiejiao Sect Master, I don't know Xuandu. Not respecting superiors, not being humble to inferiors, this is the usual etiquette." Xuandu Dafashi shouted loudly, "This beast has a big nerve, speaking out of turn and offending Heaven's dignity! Quickly enter the formation!" The three ladies turned around and entered the formation. Laozi led the cow into the formation. Yuanshi's incense chariot also entered the formation. Baihe Tong'er followed behind, all entering the "Yellow River Formation". Bofu still hadn't come out of the formation, he just hid his figure to one side to observe, he knew that the two saints knew he was here, but the two saints didn't know what level his cultivation had reached at this moment...
Two Heavenly Lords entered the formation. Laozi saw that his disciples were like drunkards who had not yet awakened, deeply asleep and snoring loudly. He also saw on the Eight Trigrams Platform four or five people with incomplete bodies. Laozi sighed: "What a pity! A thousand years of cultivation have all turned into paintings!"
Just then, Qiongxiao saw Laozi enter the formation to observe and immediately released the Golden Scissors. The scissors flew through the air, folding and unfolding like scissors, head meeting head, tail meeting tail, and fell down. Unexpectedly, Bo Xiang took action first, stretching out his hand to catch the Golden Scissors in mid-air.
Seeing this transformation, Bixiao did not release the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron. Sanxiao simply watched Bo Xiang, among whom Yunxiao had the most faith in him, quietly waiting for Bo Xiang to take action on her behalf. The other two were originally going to jump into action but were held back by Yunxiao and could only wait and see how Bo Xiang would respond.
Bo Yu casually returned the Golden Scissors to Qiong Xiao, took a step forward and said to Lao Zi and Yuan Shi: "This matter is indeed Three Xiao's fault, but they also have their own difficulties. In the great calamity of heaven and earth, each person responds according to their own cultivation method and strength. The cultivators of the two sects see the truth on the battlefield, and life and death are determined by fate. Now Zhao Gongming was injured by a hidden arrow, which is also his own karma, and no one can be blamed for it. It's just that Three Xiao's cultivation is insufficient, and they couldn't swallow this breath, so they made such a fuss. Moreover, Yuan Shi Dao friend had previously said 'This is the karma of the people in the Jade Void Palace'. I think the two Dao friends should give me some face, and hand over Three Xiao to their master Tongtian Dao friend for discipline?"
Laozi didn't say a word, just smiled. Yuanshi Tianzun spoke up and said: "The three immortal children do not respect their elders, nor do they know the will of heaven. Today is indeed their appointed time. I see that my fellow practitioner's cultivation is profound, how could he not have seen through this? How does he know these three children are not a tribulation for Bo Xiang Daoist?"
Ba Miao listened to the tone, knowing that Yuanshi Tianzun had opened his mouth to threaten him. Today, he must be determined to make San Xiang respond to the calamity. If he intervenes, Yuanshi Tianzun won't mind sending him to the Seal God List as well! Ba Miao's anger surged greatly, originally a pre-heavenly great demon with a notorious reputation for thousands of years. Now, he was provoked by Yuanshi's words.
"Yuan Shi Dao You, are you determined to face the tribulation today?! Alright, I'll take this one for them! It seems that after a thousand years, someone has forgotten the former glory of a certain family!"
The old master took a step back, waiting quietly for Bo Fu to make his move. Bo Fu stretched out his body and took out the Ghost God Halberd, striking it down at Yuanshi Tianzun's head. A thousand golden lotus flowers appeared above Yuanshi Tianzun's head, but before they could trap Bo Fu's weapon, the halberd sliced through them with a single strike, cutting down hundreds of lotuses and heading straight for Yuanshi Tianzun. Yuanshi was caught off guard, not expecting Bo Fu's ferocity to be so great, and didn't have time to defend himself, so he retreated onto the Xiangxiang chariot to avoid the attack. Bo Fu showed no mercy, striking the chariot with a heavy blow that shattered it into dust, then swung his halberd horizontally at Laozi. Laozi sighed, and on top of his head appeared the Tian Di Xuan Huang Linglong Pagoda, its threads of mysterious yellow energy hanging down to protect him. Bo Fu's heavy strike was blocked by the energy and deflected to one side. At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun's anger reached its peak, and he shouted, "You dare!" as he released the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi towards Bo Fu. Meanwhile, Laozi didn't take advantage of the situation to attack, but instead had Qing Niu retreat another step to quietly watch Yuanshi make his move.
