"Damn monkey!"
Seeing his treasure snatched away, Bai Ze could no longer maintain his composure and couldn't help but curse furiously, while swinging the folding fan in his hand, stirring up a chilling gust of wind that swept towards Sun Wukong.
But someone else was one step ahead and promptly pulled Sun Wukong into the Myriad Immortals Formation.
That person was naturally Yu Yuan.
When Sun Wukong first appeared, Yu Yuan was also somewhat confused.
He didn't understand why his opportunistic disciple had come running here.
But as soon as Sun Wukong swung his wooden staff and instantly brushed away the Primordial Magnetic Divine Peak belonging to Bai Ze Demon Saint, Yu Yuan understood.
This must be the handiwork of that ancient mentor, Bodhi.
Looking over the Primordial era, there were only a handful of Spiritual Treasures capable of taking away someone else's treasures.
Not counting Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light, the only ones he knew of were the Vajra Bracelet, Treasure Money, and Seven Treasures Miao Tree!
The wooden staff in Sun Wukong's hand didn't look like it had anything to do with the Vajra Bracelet or Treasure Money.
Not only did it not resemble them in appearance, but the way it took away treasures was also different.
The Vajra Bracelet "ensnares", Treasure Money "falls," only the Seven Treasures Miao Tree "brushes away."
Therefore, Yu Yuan concluded that the wooden staff must be the Seven Treasures Miao Tree.
If that was the case, then the true identity of this Bodhi mentor was most likely one of the Three Corpses Dao Bodies of Saint Zhunti.
Seeing his gentle and kind appearance, it should be the Good Corpse Dao Body.
During an era when Saints couldn't enter the Primordial world and left behind a Good Corpse Dao Body to scheme in the shadows... but what exactly was he scheming?
Yu Yuan was very curious.
If Bodhi really was one of the Three Corpses Dao Bodies of Saint Zhunti, why would he send Sun Wukong with the Seven Treasures Miao Tree to the Heavenly Court to help him against the Buddhist Sect?
Isn't that working against his own interests?
If he remembered correctly, after the Western Sect evolved into the Buddhist Sect, one was revered as the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas, named Amitabha, while the other was revered as the Mother of Ten Thousand Buddhas, named Zhunti Buddha Mother.
Both should be the founders of the Buddhist Sect.
Simply put, as the behind-the-scenes big boss of the Buddhist Sect, there was no reason for Zhunti's Good Corpse Dao Body to help Yu Yuan against the Buddhist Sect!
Since the Three Corpses Dao Body, though independent of the main body, was also closely connected to it.
The Three Corpses Dao Body would not possibly go against the main body's decisions.
Hence, Bodhi's action as a mentor must also be approved by Saint Zhunti.
Yu Yuan racked his brains but couldn't figure out why Saint Zhunti would help him like this.
But the other party did indeed help him resolve the crisis.
And with the painful lesson just now, Bai Ze and the others would probably be wary of taking any risks and dare not use their Spiritual Treasures again.
The reality was indeed so.
After losing the Primordial Magnetic Divine Peak, Bai Ze was enraged but helpless.
With the supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, Seven Treasures Miao Tree present, if Bai Ze and the others dared to use their Spiritual Treasures again, it would be as futile as throwing a meat bun to a dog.
And without using Spiritual Treasures, suppressing Yu Yuan would not be an easy task.
But Bai Ze soon realized that this was exactly the opponent's intention.
If they couldn't suppress Yu Yuan quickly, in just a short while, those Buddhas of the Western Sect would undoubtedly be doomed.
At that point, they would not possibly be a match for the Jie Sect.
"Let us break the formation!"
At this moment, Virochana Buddha shouted loudly, giving Bai Ze a reminder.
They didn't want to sacrifice their Spiritual Treasures for nothing.
But the Buddhas of the Buddhist Sect surely wouldn't care about these.
Immediately, Bai Ze rushed towards Golden Mother, forcing her to retract the plain-colored Cloud World Flag she used to trap Virochana Buddha, and instead used it to protect herself.
Seizing the opportunity, Virochana Buddha broke free from Golden Mother and transformed into a golden Taiyang, charging towards the Myriad Immortals Formation.
At the same time, Minghe Ancestor wielded the dark-colored Big Flag to counter Jade Emperor's Heavenly Treasure Tower, allowing the Joyful Buddha to break free from this opponent. With both hands embracing a Vajra Pestle as big as a mountain, he radiated infinite Divine Light and bombarded the Myriad Immortals Formation.
Meanwhile, Kunpeng Ancestor also revealed his True Body, with his massive size like a towering mountain. His golden wings covered the sky and emitted an extremely majestic presence.
He hovered in the sky, and with each flap of his wings, a storm surged violently.
Kunpeng Ancestor waved his sharp claws, tearing apart the entire space with a might like tsunamis and landslides, causing the Myriad Immortals Formation to begin shaking intensely.
Yu Yuan fully activated the Primordial Spirit Dharma Form, tightly guarding the Myriad Immortals Formation.
Even as the Quasi-Saints unleashed all their skills and at one point ripped his Primordial Spirit Dharma Form into fog-like shreds, he never dodged even once.
This tragic sight shocked countless Immortal Gods.
Especially Zhao Gongming and other Jie Sect disciples, who shouted at Yu Yuan to forget about them!
These Jie Sect disciples had arrived fully prepared to die!
And now, it was Yu Yuan who was protecting them.
The injuries that Yu Yuan suffered, they all saw them with their own eyes, sharing his pain; their teeth nearly shattered from clenching, wishing they could replace him and withstand the onslaught of the three Quasi-Saints' attacks.
But they all knew, there was nothing more important right now than maintaining the operation of the Myriad Immortals Formation.
Under Yu Yuan's protection, all disciples of the Jie Sect gritted their teeth and fully activated their respective Array Maps.
Seeing the Myriad Immortals Formation teetering on the brink of collapse but still standing firm, beings like Virochana Buddha became enraged and anxious, no longer caring about the risk of Spiritual Treasures being swept away, they all summoned their Spiritual Treasures one after another.
Even those like the Pharmacist and Maitreya who were unable to extricate themselves from afar, also struck fiercely, fending off the Duobao Taoist, then raised their hands to launch several Spiritual Treasures toward Yu Yuan.
In an instant, one could see all manner of treasure vases, bowls, Treasure Tripods, Golden Rattles, and as many as twenty or thirty other Spiritual Treasures flying across the sky, aiming to suppress and seal Yu Yuan, to push him as far away from the Myriad Immortals Formation as possible.
This could almost be said to be the Buddhist Sect's final gamble!
If they could suppress Yu Yuan, there would be no one from the Jie Sect who could control the Six Soul Banner.
The crisis of the Buddhist Sect could then be lifted.
Yu Yuan was well aware of this point, but he could not dodge, nor could he mobilize his own Spiritual Treasures to defend.
He could only place his hopes on the Seven Treasures Miao Tree in Sun Wukong's hands.
Following the guidance in his mind, Sun Wukong swung the stick in his hands, casting colorful rays of light one after another.
Any Spiritual Treasure that was brushed by those colorful rays would quietly vanish without a trace.
But Virochana Buddha and the others had already prepared defenses.
Those twenty or so Spiritual Treasures actually divided, one into two, two into four... In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Vault above was densely packed with all kinds of Spiritual Treasures.
Sun Wukong was momentarily dumbfounded.
Holding the stick, he did not even know where to swing it.
Illusion Techniques are but petty paths.
But at this moment, they played a critically important role.
Yu Yuan could distinctly feel invisible shackles entwining his body, aiming to sever his connection with the outside world and suppress and seal him...
It could be said this was one of the methods most capable of restraining him.
Under normal circumstances, he could dodge, use the Chaos Bell to guard himself, use the Treasure Falling Gold to defeat the opponent's Spiritual Treasures... He had countless ways to deal with it.
But at this moment, he had only one path left.
That was to evade!
As long as he chose to dodge, these Spiritual Treasures simply could not catch up with his speed.
But now, he was controlling the Six Soul Banner, tied to the Myriad Immortals Formation.
If he fled, the Myriad Immortals Formation would instantly collapse.
Including himself, all Jie Sect disciples, along with the Jade Emperor, Golden Mother, and others' previous efforts and sacrifices would all be in vain!
But if he did not dodge, he could only hold on for two breaths at most before being suppressed and sealed, and the Myriad Immortals Formation would still collapse.
What should he do?
Logically speaking, he should choose to leave without hesitation.
That way, he could preserve his strength.
As the saying goes, "As long as the green mountains last, there'll be firewood to burn."
As long as he was alive, one day he would return to his era and fundamentally change the fate of the Jie Sect!
Then none of this would have happened!
But... what if he couldn't return?
Wouldn't this moment then be the last chance to change the destiny of the Jie Sect, to free his master and the others from enslavement?
Yu Yuan hesitated.
He did not know which choice was the correct one.
Just then, a middle-aged Daoist wearing plain cloth clothes, with nothing remarkable about his appearance, appeared out of thin air in front of him, and without a word, stretched out his hands, holding the Yang in his left hand and the Yin in his right, his body bending like a great dragon, conjuring a black and white Tai Chi Diagram in midair that covered the sky and blanketed the Heavenly Vault.
This black and white Tai Chi Diagram exhibited perfect balance, black and white intertwining, Yin and Yang generating and complementing each other, Yin Yang Qi flowing and circulating endlessly within the diagram.
The moment it appeared, all the shackles binding Yu Yuan disappeared.
That Tai Chi Diagram enshrouded Yu Yuan inside, forming an indestructible barrier.
"Xuan Du!"
Dingguang Tathagata gave a cold shout, "Are you also going to meddle in this?"
Master Xuan Du materialized from the Tai Chi Diagram in the sky but did not speak.
Instead, another woman's voice rose.
"Yu Yuan!"
"Coming back just to have me lay down my life for you, really think I owe you something huh!"
Yu Yuan looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a breathtakingly beautiful figure arriving through the air.
She exuded a refined and serene temperament, her colorful skirt trailing behind her, slit at the knees, showing off legs white as frost and snow, and her bare right foot adorned with a golden ring...
Miao Yuan!
She had also arrived!
Seeing the two arrive, Yu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, laughing heartily:
"What? Just shaking down others, who can't do that?"
