My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 704 - The Saints Are In Peril

Chapter 704: The Saints Are In Peril

In the main tent of Zhou Nation, Ji Fa sat in the main seat. Huang Feihu, King Wucheng, and Jiang Shang, the Grand Tutor of Zhou, sat on the left and right. The dozens of seats below were also filled.

The row of seats on the right was led by Ji Dan. Most of them were members of the Ji Chang’s Hundred Seedlings Group. They were considered the n.o.bles of the Zhou Nation.

The left side was impressive. Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Perfected Huang Long, Perfected Taiyi, and Perfected Yu Ding, as well as Wen Shu, Puxian, and Ci Hang, who were reserved for the three groups of traitors. Dao Hang, the Great Daoist Master of Numinous Treasure, and Qingxu did not have any presence.

Only Ju Liusun was absent.

At that moment, Ju Liusun was still suffering in the Cave Abode. The only thing he could do was teach his previous disciple, Tu Xingsun, who had blocked the calamity.

Apart from the twelve Golden Immortals, Yun Zhongzi and the other Golden Immortals, who had high Dharma powers, would naturally not be absent. The disciples that they could bring out stood behind them.

After all, the Ten Absolute Arrays had become a huge mountain that was pressing on their heads.

There were ten of them!

If he did not break the array, he would lose this round.

It was a small matter to lose some pride. If Jie School began to acc.u.mulate victory, Chan School would fall into a decline and it might affect the direction of the Great Tribulation.

The current situation was that the Great Tribulation was slightly beneficial to Chan School as the calamity revolved around Jie School.

Wen Shu sighed and said, “Why is this array so troublesome? I have deduced for a hundred days and I can’t find a way to break the array formation. It seems that I can only break it with force.”

Perfected Yu Ding said, “The Life Gate is a dead gate. The ten formations are connected. It will not be easy to break the array.”

“Why are you in a hurry?” Perfected Taiyi smiled and said, “Why do we have to barge in when they set up an array formation? Just pretend that we didn’t see it.”

“That’s against the rules,” Chi Jingzi said. “That’s how fights are. The other party has drawn the Dao. We should take it. If we don’t, I’m afraid we will be mocked by the Qi Refinement cultivators of the Three Realms.”

Perfected Taiyi said leisurely, “Since ancient times, we have always laughed at the losers. It’s a good idea if we can win. This is a battle between two armies, not a battle between immortals.”

Guang Chengzi frowned and looked over. Perfected Taiyi shrugged and shut his mouth obediently.

The immortals said one after another and suggested ways to break the array.

Perfected Taiyi could not help but say, “Why don’t we just set up the twelve Golden Immortal Arrays and let the other party challenge the array? Don’t forget that we are the ones defending.”

The immortals frowned slightly and fell silent.

He did not prepare in advance. Suddenly, he was a little rushed.

Little Nezha, who was riding the Wind-Fire Wheels and the Heavenly Silk, poked Taiyi with the end of the Fire-Pointed Spear in his arms and sent a voice transmission.

“Master, it’s easy for you to lose friends like this. My father said that you have to be good to others and do less.”

Perfected Taiyi silently s.h.i.+fted his immortal b.u.t.tocks and leaned towards Perfected Yu Ding. His eyes were filled with disapproval.

With Yu Ding, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Daoist Ci Hang, who was dressed in a blue dress, sighed and said, “The Dharma powers of the ten Heavenly Lords are not too strong. If we fight, they will naturally not be our match. There must be an expert guiding this array… It’s really unheard of.”

Guang Chengzi smiled bitterly and said, “I finally understand why Junior Brother Changgeng has not appeared recently. He should have known that we would encounter such a problem.”

Perfected Huang Long said, “Senior Brother, you can’t say that. This chain array might not be taught by Changgeng.”

As soon as the old dragon finished speaking, he heard a loud roar from outside the camp. It was Zhao Jiang, the ten Heavenly Lords, who was shouting in the Ten Extremes Array.

“The hundred days are up! If you still don’t come and break the array, we will be over! Hahahahaha! There is no solution to the Ten Absolute Arrays. Even if you ask Junior Brother Changgeng, who taught us this technique, there is no solution! Hahahaha! This array is invulnerable!”

The immortals of Chan School were speechless.

Perfected Huang Long felt awkward for a moment. He said softly, “Why don’t I ask Junior Brother Changgeng to give me a method to break the array formation? Otherwise, it would be too unfair.”

Perfected Taiyi scoffed and resisted the urge to say anything.

Guang Chengzi looked at Ji Fa, who was sitting on the main seat. The latter immediately understood. He took out the words that he had said for more than half a year and shouted in tears,

“Immortals, please save our Zhou Nation! Di Xin is tyrannical. He killed my grandfather, imprisoned my father, tortured loyalists, and harmed my teachers. Now, the heavens, humans, and G.o.ds are angry! Please understand that it was not easy for the Zhou Nation to be established. Please protect the citizens of the Zhou Nation from being slaughtered by the Emperor!”

Ji Fa had said those words countless times.

However, every time he said it, it had its own meaning.

That made Chan School famous. They could only help because they were invited. They did not mean to interfere with the mortal world.

“Alright,” Guang Chengzi said slowly. “In that case, we should discuss a countermeasure today. We will break through the ten extreme array formations and cause the Shang army to collapse.”

Ji Fa stood up and bowed. Then, he sat down obediently and did not say anything.

Huang Feihu, King Wucheng, might have a mutated “Five-Colored Divine Ox” as his mount, but he could not do anything. He was just a mortal general who was good at scheming and fighting. It was not appropriate for him to speak at that moment.

Jiang Shang stroked his beard and pondered for a while. Then, he said something unique.

“Although the Ten Absolute Arrays are difficult to deal with, it is not really impossible. The Dao of the Immortal Formation follows the principle of changing the foundation of the array. Although the chain array is powerful, there are many array foundations as a foundation. If we can find out the way the spiritual energy is circulating and stop the spiritual energy of the Heaven Absolute Array from supporting the other nine arrays, the chain array would weaken. However… it’s too dangerous for ten experts to attempt it without 30% confidence.”

“I’ll go take a look at the array formation,” Yang Jian said in a low voice.

“Why are you wandering around!?!”

Perfected Taiyi turned his head and glared at Yang Jian. He whispered, “You’re just a third-generation disciple. Don’t be in the limelight.”

Yang Jian lowered his head and cupped his fists. He did not say anything else.

Wen Shu said, “Are we going to invite two more experts?”

“Who else can we invite?” Perfected Huang Long smiled bitterly and said, “We can’t invite Teacher out of the mountain, right? However, who can break these Ten Absolute Arrays below the Saint? The ten array formations are connected. It’s really too domineering.”

“Can you lure them out?” Yun Zhongzi stroked his beard and said softly, “If they can’t enter the array formation, let them out.”

“These ten Fellow Daoists are not like Zhao Jiang,” Chi Jingzi said. “I have met Qin Wan before. He is meticulous and not easy to deceive. They have the array formation as their backing. Why are they going out to compete with us?”

Perfected Taiyi said calmly, “That might not be the case… Don’t look at me. I have already contributed to Chan School previously. I have taken the lead. There’s no need for me to be this evil person today.”

Guang Chengzi sighed and said, “Junior Brother, you’re wrong. This matter concerns the fate of the sect. How is it evil?”

Perfected Taiyi shook his head and did not say anything. Guang Chengzi could not say anything else.

Hence, the Zhou Army camp was gloomy again. They could only hang the battle-exemption sign higher. Their morale was extremely low.

In the Ten Absolute Arrays in front of the Shang army camp.

Zhao Jiang shouted a few more times, and his words were more provocative each time. Chan School only held back.

After Qin Wan greeted him, the ten Heavenly Lords gathered in the Heavenly Absolute Array to discuss how to proceed. Zhao Jiang, who had no response, was also a little angry.

Zhao Jiang said, “Didn’t we discuss it before we came!? As long as we defeat General Zhou, we will bear the negative karma! At most, if they hide in the Chaos Sea, Chan School’s plan will fail!”

“You’re wrong.”

Qin Wan said seriously, “There are eight hundred dukes in the Shang Dynasty. What’s the point of destroying the Zhou family? Chan School will choose another family to support. It’s said that the Shang Lord is ruthless. In a few years, he will be another Zhou Nation. Moreover, it is not right to slaughter mortals. It is fine to just let the two armies fight to determine the outcome of the battle. We have already taken the initiative. If we kill mortals forcefully, we will naturally be honest. Taking the initiative will become pa.s.sive.”

“What should we do?” Zhao Jiang stomped his feet anxiously.

The G.o.ddess of Golden Light looked at her brothers and said seriously, “If they don’t enter the array, should we just wait here? The rear army also needs to consume rations. We are the ones who are sending troops to fight.”

“It’s fine.” Qin Wan sighed and said, “I’ve already sent a message to Disciple-Nephew Wen Zhong and asked him to release the news as soon as possible. He said that the immortals of Chan School have suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat in our Ten Absolute Arrays. Let’s see if we can force them to come and break the array. It’s best if we can capture the twelve Golden Immortals.”

The Lord of the Red Water Array changed his tone and said, “Brother, just kill them! Why are you being polite to them!?!”

“The twelve Golden Immortals are already Second Uncle-Master’s personal disciples and the core of Chan School. If we kill them directly, I’m afraid it will incur Second Uncle-Master’s anger and cause a battle between the Saints. Chan School has the support of the Western Sect. Master does not have the advantage.”

Qin Wan said in a low voice, “We only relied on the array formation to gain temporary benefits. We can’t be blindly arrogant. If we capture the twelve Golden Immortals and bring them back to the Green Touring Palace, how can Chan School still have the cheek to compete with us? In that case, we can find some in-name disciples of the two sects to enter the Divine Seal Altar during the Great Tribulation.”

However, the G.o.ddess of Golden Light said, “We can’t have such thoughts now. If we can kill a few twelve Golden Immortals, we will be able to hurt Chan School!”

Bai Li, the master of the Flame Array, said, “Why don’t we cripple their cultivation and leave them alive? That way, we can leave some leeway.”

“Alright.” Qin Wan nodded slowly. “Brothers and sisters, go and guard the array formation. If anyone tries to break through the array formation, they will be injured first and then crippled. Leave a way out.”

“Okay.”

“Alright.”

“We’ll listen to Big Brother.”

The G.o.ddess of Golden Light and the other nine immortals stood up and bowed. They turned into streams of light and flew back to the Ten Extreme Array.

Qin Wan sighed softly. There was a hint of worry in his eyes. He pondered quietly for a while and felt even more melancholic.

He really did not expect…

Their Ten Absolute Arrays actually had such a high limit and stopped the twelve Golden Immortals.

Actually, Qin Wan was not the only one who could not think of it. Jie School was clearly not mentally prepared.

The experts of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School, who corresponded to the eight disciples of Jie School, were actually suppressed by the ten Heavenly Lords, who were not even considered core disciples of Jie School. They could not move.

For the past three months, Daoist Duobao has been joking. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would drink with Zhao Gongming and secretly discuss.

Unfortunately, just as the immortals of Jie School collectively requested to help the ten Heavenly Lords and watch the fun of Chan School, the Grandmaster of Heaven sent another decree.

The decree said: Do not act rashly.

It was clearly an advantage, but he wanted to protect his home. The immortals of Jie School could not understand.

Although Daoist Duobao could vaguely sense the pressure his master was under, he still brought his junior brothers and sisters to the back mountain of Green Touring Palace to meet the Grandmaster of Heaven.

When they saw the Grandmaster of Heaven sitting quietly in the bamboo forest, their Dao hearts trembled.

There, the Saint had two strands of white hair at his temples. His eyebrows were filled with worry.

On the divination disc in front of the Grandmaster of Heaven, the few divination stones were slightly messy, as if someone had deliberately messed them up.

“Master…”

Daoist Duobao called softly.

“What happened?”

The Grandmaster of Heaven asked without looking back.

Duobao said softly, “Junior Brother Qin Wan and the others have stumped Chan School. Once the Ten Absolute Chain Arrays are out, Chan School will be helpless. Should we go all out to help Junior Brother Qin Wan and the others? In that case, we will win against Chan School…”

The Grandmaster of Heaven’s fingers trembled slightly, but he fell silent.

Not long after, the Grandmaster of Heaven said, “They went out against my orders. Why are you still going to help?”

Duobao hurriedly winked at the G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit. The G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit hurriedly walked forward and knelt beside the Grandmaster of Heaven. She said gently,

“Master ~ Don’t be angry. We can clearly win against Chan School. Everyone wants to compete with Chan School. Perhaps they will admit defeat and the Great Tribulation will be broken.”

The Grandmaster of Heaven, who had been wearing a tense expression, immediately broke his composure and looked at the G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit helplessly.

The Grandmaster of Heaven said, “You are really young and don’t know fear. Master is not tolerating. He just doesn’t want you to die.”

Zhao Gongming asked, “Master, are you not confident that you can accept the two Saints and Uncle-Master of the Western Sect? If the few of us work together, we can stall the two Saints of the Western Sect for a while. It’s not impossible.”

“You underestimate your Second Uncle-Master.”

The Grandmaster of Heaven sighed slowly.

“Among the three friends of the Dao Sect, your Uncle-Master is the strongest in terms of Dao Realm. However, your Uncle-Master has already expressed his att.i.tude towards the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation through Changgeng. He wants me and your Second Uncle-Master to deal with it themselves. Duobao should know how much your Second Uncle-Master wants to chase you guys out and bring me back to the small courtyard of Kunlun Mountain to reprimand Yuanhui. You don’t have to have any hope. When my Second Senior Brother kills you, he will not show any mercy. How should I protect you once the Pangu Banner is out? Unless I can borrow your Uncle-Master’s Taiji Painting, there’s no way to resist it. The Chaos Bell is unwilling to stay beside me.”

Daoist Duobao asked softly, “Can’t the four swords block it?”

The Grandmaster of Heaven said, “The edge of the Heaven-Splitting Axe is stained with the blood of countless Chaos G.o.dfiends. The reason it turned into a flag is because the world can’t withstand it if it transforms into any weapon. Do you know why most of the Great Tribulation luck is wrapped around Jie School? There are too many disciples on our side. Another reason is that Teacher does not want to go against your Second Uncle-Master. Although Qingping and the four swords are sharp, the world can still withstand them. Moreover, the power of the four swords is mostly on the array formation.”

At that point, the Grandmaster of Heaven sighed slowly.

“You have always felt that the Western Sect’s Zhun Ti joined forces with your Second Uncle-Master to deal with Jie School. Due to the fact that there are too many disciples of Jie School, their combined strength can offset that portion of pressure. Of course, that’s what I said. My original intention was to let your Uncle-Master uphold justice and side with us. In fact, Zhun Ti only wanted to curry favor with your Second Uncle-Master. They had often curried favor since ancient times. I’ll show it to you.”

The Grandmaster of Heaven pushed forward with his left hand. A ring of smoke quickly condensed and an image appeared.

The dense spiritual energy around made the scene a little blurry. The G.o.ds and demons fighting in the sky seemed to be fighting for some treasure.

In the middle of the scene, a middle-aged Daoist was surrounded by dozens of Connate mighty figures. He snorted coldly and waved his hand to hold a long flag.

The middle-aged Daoist waved his arm and gray Sword Qi surged.

The flag fluttered, and dozens of Connate mighty figures were beheaded. Their powerful essence souls turned into Chaos aura and quickly reduced to pure spiritual energy.

Following that, the middle-aged Daoist landed at the place where the battle was the most intense. He waved the flag expressionlessly. Sword Qi sliced through the battle. The group of Connate mighty figures died in batches. The rest immediately fled when they saw that.

Only a few figures could barely block the Sword Qi, but they did not dare to move forward.

Finally, the middle-aged Daoist stopped.

He stood in front of a gourd vine and put away the ordinary-looking ancient flag in his hand. He bowed to the side.

“Senior Brother, please.”

The dense aura surged slightly. An old Daoist priest sat cross-legged on the meditation cus.h.i.+on and slowly appeared. He raised his hand and plucked a purple-gold gourd.

The middle-aged Daoist smiled warmly and said, “Junior Brother, please.”

At the side, a young Daoist who was carrying a sword on his back smiled and walked over. He picked the gourd that he liked the most.

Then, the middle-aged Daoist took another one and left behind four. He did not even look at the figures who were about to pounce over to s.n.a.t.c.h the treasures. He turned around and strolled away.

“The Three Pure Ones pluck the gourd.”

The scene dissipated. The Grandmaster of Heaven held his forehead and sat cross-legged on the meditation cus.h.i.+on. He whispered, “Send the order. No one is to move rashly or leave the Immortal Island. If he leaves the Immortal Island and becomes ashes, he would bear the consequences. I believe that I can defeat your Second Uncle-Master, but I can’t protect you from him. a.s.suming the most extreme situation, I will kill the other party’s disciples with your Second Uncle-Master. You should be the first to die. That’s just the most extreme a.s.sumption. Although your Second Uncle-Master is ferocious, he will not go on a killing spree.”

The Grandmaster of Heaven’s eyes were peaceful.

“It’s not that I don’t dare to fight. I just can’t bear to part with you. The eight of you, remember not to provoke your Second Uncle-Master. Gongming, how has Jin Ling been recently?”

“She’s still recuperating in the Luofu Cave. I’ve completely sealed the cave,” Zhao Gongming said. “I’m afraid that she will cause trouble if she comes over. It’s better not to let her know about these things.”

“Look after Jin Ling. She’s the most impatient. Just rest in peace.”

The Grandmaster of Heaven waved his hand. The disciples did not know how to persuade or plan. They could only bow and leave.

The middle-aged Daoist really gave them too much pressure.

In the evening, Duobao, Zhao Gongming, the Turtle Spirit, and Wudang felt immense pressure.

Just the Second Uncle-Master alone was enough to make them almost breathless. At that moment, they could confirm that the two Saints of the Western Sect would definitely help Second Uncle-Master.

Zhao Gongming’s eyelids suddenly twitched.

He said, “I’ll go back and take a look at Jin Ling’s condition first.”

Duobao asked, “Do you need me to send you off?”

“There’s no need.” Zhao Gongming smiled and took out a paper effigy. He shook it gently. “Changgeng helped me make a few paper effigies. I placed three beside Jin Ling. I just need to find a place to meditate and my mind can move over.”

Duobao was speechless…

He suddenly found the next treasure in his treasure vault!

…

At the same time.

Thousands of kilometers west of the Qi Mountain, at the top of a tall mountain, the old Daoist priest, who was holding the “Wonderful Seven Treasures Tree” in his hand, pursed his lips slightly.

“Ten Absolute Arrays and a mere ten Heavenly Lords. Hmph!”

His eyes were filled with contempt and impatience.

Then, he transformed into a white-haired Daoist who held an ancient lamp. He stroked his white beard and rode a cloud towards Zhou Ying.

Before he landed, the old Daoist priest recited a poem on the spot.

“I was born from the lotus platform in peace and did not disturb my carefree body.”

“The Great Tribulation descended upon the living beings. The heart of the Buddha was true.”

“I have come to the Western Sect today and I will return to seclusion tomorrow.”

“The world is filled with endless good fortune. I, Chang’an, exist forever.”

Hehe.

“I’m here to help Fellow Daoists of Chan School with the lantern and discuss breaking the Ten Absolute Heaven-Breaking Array! ”

The immortals of Chan School were stunned. When the old Daoist priest was reciting poems, their immortal senses had only discovered his traces. From that, they could determine that he was definitely an expert.

At that moment, the immortals of Chan School had a direct reaction.

The corners of Perfected Taiyi’s mouth twitched slightly. He leaned towards Perfected Yu Ding and pretended to be impatient.

“Where did this wild Daoist come from? How dare he barge in?”

Although he really wanted to say “get lost”, he still obeyed.

Even so, the old Daoist priest’s expression changed instantly.

“Don’t be rude!”

Guang Chengzi immediately stood up and glared at Taiyi. He quickly walked out of the tent. “This is an expert that I invited to help. Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, don’t be rude. Quickly follow me out to welcome him.”

The expression of the old Daoist priest, who was holding the lamp, relaxed slightly. He looked at Perfected Taiyi and Perfected Yu Ding, who were sitting on the chair without moving.

Huang Long was already a little depressed. At that moment, he could not help but mutter, “What expert? Can he be more of an expert than the Eldest Senior Brother of the three sects? Why haven’t I heard of him? Everlasting peace and Dao. He’s quite arrogant, huh? He thinks he won’t die just because he’s a Saint. Hmph, who will be the one to be embarra.s.sed in the end?”

Perfected Yu Ding was helpless. He could only add,

“My master, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.”
