Chapter 29 East China Sea War
Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Battle of the East China Sea (Part 1)
After absorbing all the merits of creation from his primordial spirit, Tongtian successfully advanced to the level of a Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal and survived the Heavenly Tribulation, becoming the first Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal to attain enlightenment.
When Tongtian announced this to the primordial world, all living beings were very puzzled. Why didn't Tongtian become a Heavenly Saint? And what was this Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal?
Hongjun gazed at the majestic Tongtian in mid-air, his expression complex. A Primordial Golden Immortal—a realm he had once longed for but could never reach. He hadn't expected someone to actually attain it. Hongjun couldn't help but feel regret; he regretted choosing to cooperate with the Heavenly Dao. Hongjun believed that while his aptitude wasn't the best, it was still close to Primordial level, at least not inferior to Luo Hou. But because of a single wrong thought and the Heavenly Dao's manipulation, he created the Quasi-Saint path, thus drifting further and further away from the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.
"Hongjun, how is it? What you once thought was impossible has now become reality. I wonder what you think at this moment?" Xuan Chu looked at Hongjun and said with a smile. Not long ago, Hongjun confidently said that no one in the prehistoric world could attain the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal, but now he has been thoroughly slapped in the face by Tongtian.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chu's methods are superb, and I am ashamed to admit my inferiority!" Hongjun did not acknowledge Tongtian's aptitude, but believed that all of this was due to Xuan Chu. It was Xuan Chu who used his methods to help Tongtian, which enabled Tongtian to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan.
"Hehe, Hongjun, you're still being stubborn even now. Fine, I won't hold it against you. But there's one thing you probably don't understand," Xuan Chu said.
"Fellow Daoist, the Primordial World can no longer withstand a war between sages. I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against me and my disciples." Hongjun knew what Xuanchu was talking about. He was simply seeking justice for Tongtian. During Tongtian's ascension to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, Hongjun, Taishang, and Yuanshi had all intervened. As for Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nuwa, although they dared not intervene out of fear of Xuanchu, they had come at Hongjun's summons and had also incurred karmic debts. Obstructing someone's future was like killing their parents; this enmity was irreconcilable and a battle was inevitable. However, the Primordial World simply could not withstand a war between sages, so Hongjun hoped that Xuanchu could let the matter drop.
Xuan Chu clearly didn't want to let Hong Jun go. Now that Tong Tian had attained the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal, it was the perfect time to strike at Hong Jun's reputation and vindicate the Primordial Golden Immortal. How could Xuan Chu let such an opportunity pass?
So he said, "Hongjun, your concerns are not without merit. How about this, let the younger generation take action, and you and I will work together to stabilize the prehistoric world, and then there will be no problem."
"This..." Hongjun was at a loss for what to do. He couldn't very well say that even he and Xuan Chu together couldn't stabilize the Primordial World, could he? He seemed to have no reason to refuse anymore. Moreover, Hongjun had an idea in his mind. Although the Primordial Golden Immortal was stronger than the Heavenly Dao Saint, he had five Heavenly Dao Saints on his side, while Tongtian only had one. Five against one, they couldn't possibly lose, right?
Thinking of this, Hongjun nodded and said, "Very well, since we've already formed a karmic bond, it's best to resolve it as soon as possible."
"Alright!" Seeing that Hongjun agreed, Xuan Chu then said, "However, you have five Heavenly Dao Saints on your side, while Tongtian only has one. Isn't that a bit unfair?"
"Then what do you want?" Hongjun's heart tightened. He didn't expect that Xuan Chu would see through his little thoughts. But then he thought about it. In the entire prehistoric world, there were only three Grand Luo Golden Immortals. Xuan Chu couldn't take action. Yang Mei had already fled to the Chaos. Only Tongtian was left. Even if Xuan Chu found more helpers, they would not be a match for the Heavenly Dao Saint.
"Not so great. I just wanted to find some helpers for Tongtian," Xuan Chu said.
"Alright, fellow Daoist, please do as you please." Hongjun was already certain that Xuan Chu could not find another Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. As for those below Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, no matter how many people Xuan Chu brought, they would not be a match for a Heavenly Dao Saint.
Soon, the Twelve Ancestral Witches arrived after receiving Xuan Chu's message, and bowed to him, saying, "The Twelve Ancestral Witches greet Uncle!"
"You've all arrived. Good. Today, you will set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation and fight against the Heavenly Dao Saint. Let me see your progress over the past tens of thousands of years," Xuan Chu said.
"Hahaha, Uncle, rest assured, we will definitely not let you down," the Twelve Ancestral Witches laughed loudly.
"Alright!" Xuan Chu responded, then said to Hong Jun, "Hong Jun, the helper I found has arrived. We can begin."
Hongjun glanced at the Twelve Ancestral Witches and felt much more at ease. The Twelve Ancestral Witches did not have primordial spirits and had not obtained the complete "Nine Revolutions Profound Technique." Even if they summoned the phantom of Pangu, they could at most barely fight against the Heavenly Dao Saint. The Heavenly Dao Saint had the blessing of the Heavenly Dao and his magical power was inexhaustible. He could wear down the Twelve Ancestral Witches by dragging things out. They were not a concern. So he nodded and said, "Since your helpers have all arrived, let's begin."
Xuan Chu nodded, then said to Tong Tian, "Tong Tian, today is the day for you to prove yourself. Let the entire prehistoric world see the strength of this descendant of Pangu."
"Uncle, rest assured, Tongtian will surely win!" After advancing to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, Tongtian was full of confidence.
Xuan Chu and Hong Jun flew out of the prehistoric world at the same time and came to the chaos. They each stood in a corner and used magic to stabilize the prehistoric world.
Above the East Sea, Tongtian took the lead, setting up the Zhuxian Sword Formation and waiting for Taishang and the others to enter. The Twelve Ancestral Witches also set up the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation, summoning the phantom of Pangu.
On the side of the Heavenly Sages, after exchanging glances, Taishang assigned opponents, saying, "Gentlemen, the Tongtian Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is said to be unbreakable by anyone below four equal levels. Although we do not know the strength of a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal, for the sake of certainty, I believe that I, my second brother, Fellow Daoist Jieyin, Fellow Daoist Zhunti, and I should go to break the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, while Junior Sister Nuwa will deal with the Pangu phantom. What do you all think?"
The group agreed with the Supreme Lord's arrangement, especially Jieyin and Zhunti. They didn't want to face the phantom of Pangu. After all, the phantom of Pangu summoned by the Twelve Ancestral Witches during the Battle of Buzhou Mountain had left a deep impression on them. As for Nuwa, she had no room for objection. After all, she was a saint of the demon race, and the witch race was the mortal enemy of the demon race. If she didn't go, who would?
Soon, the four of them arrived before the Zhuxian Sword Formation. Taishang said to Tongtian, who was in charge of the formation, "Tongtian, we are Heavenly Dao Saints. Although you have attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan, you are still no stronger than us Saints who are blessed by the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, we are four Heavenly Dao Saints. Breaking your Zhuxian Sword Formation is a piece of cake. Why don't you take the initiative to let this matter go, and we will plead with Senior Xuanchu on your behalf to let this matter end here?"
"Hahaha!" Tongtian, inside the Zhuxian Sword Formation, laughed in fury upon hearing Taishang's words. Originally, he still retained some brotherly affection for Taishang and Yuanshi, but when Taishang and Yuanshi obeyed Hongjun's orders and attacked him in an attempt to prevent him from attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan, the last bit of brotherly affection in his heart had long since vanished. Now, he only felt hatred!
Tongtian said, "Supreme Lord, things have come to this point, why bother with this pretense? Make your move! Today, I, Tongtian, will face you both, for the moon may wane but it may never be full again!"
