Chapter 509: Chapter 509

Yuanshi celestial Venerable watched as his disciples quickly suffered another severe loss, with only those Pinnacle of Great Luo still barely holding on.

However, each of them was being besieged by several opponents, and the defeat of those at the Pinnacle of Great Luo was only a matter of time.

"Wang Yang, do you really want to stand against your master?"

Zhunti looked at Wang Yang and spoke with a somewhat somber expression.

At this moment, Zhunti also wanted to apply some pressure on Wang Yang, hoping that he would embrace Buddhism. Naturally, that would be ideal, but if not, they couldn’t let Wang Yang off easily.

Wang Yang shook his head at Zhunti and said, "If you and the others weren’t so shameless, Fellow Daoist Tongtian wouldn’t have acted . Since it has come to this, an eternal battle doesn’t matter to us!"

In such a situation, Wang Yang naturally couldn’t hesitate; otherwise, he might end up offending both sides.

After all, Wang Yang was originally an outsider and had no deep involvement with the Cutting Teachings Sect.

However, the statement just made by Zhunti was pressuring Wang Yang to leave the Cutting Teachings Sect and to tie himself completely to it.

Hearing Wang Yang’s words, Leader of the Tongtian Sect also breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Yang’s potential was boundless, and naturally, they wouldn’t want to gain another formidable enemy.

Saint Taiqing saw the two sides becoming increasingly antagonistic and could only sigh helplessly.

Originally, he had sided with the Expounding Teachings Sect and even stabbed Leader of the Tongtian Sect in the back, leading to the Cutting Teachings Sect’s defeat.

That was because the Cutting Teachings Sect had made a mistake.

But now? Had the Cutting Teachings Sect made a mistake?

What should he do now? Saint Taiqing had already achieved saintliness but still had no solution.

"Tongtian, it’s been tens of thousands of years since our last encounter; let me experience it then."

Yuanshi celestial Venerable stepped out of the pavilion, intending to fly upwards beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The Leader of the Tongtian Sect was not at all intimidated; he immediately took the Trap Immortal Sword in his hand and followed suit.

The struggle over fate set by the Ancestral Master had already begun with the quasi-saints entering the field!

Without a second thought, Wang Yang sent out several telepathic messages.

After all, among those present, the Cutting Teachings Sect and Wa Huang Palace were still at a disadvantage.

"Fellow Daoist, I have an important matter to discuss!"

Suddenly, a voice came through.

Just as Wang Yang was prepared to fight a battle with the South Pole Elderly Immortal, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear—it was Wu Tian’s voice.

Wang Yang was somewhat surprised; was the Demon Clan, which had always been silent, aiming to take action at this time?

That group of Demon Chiefs was, after all, still dreaming of ruling over Mount Meru for thirty-three years!

However, it wasn’t surprising, was it not because of their obsessions that they were called demons?

With persistent intentions forming obsessions, they ultimately became demons.

Wang Yang didn’t immediately start fighting, instead proceeding to telepathically communicate with Wu Tian.

However, he continued to watch the quasi-saints present vigilantly, wary that they might take advantage of his distraction to strike.

"I wish to take Mount Meru, and I ask that you help hold off Zhunti and Jieyin for me, and if possible, even more quasi-saints."

"Once successful, Wu Tian will be greatly indebted to you."

Wang Yang agreed to Wu Tian’s request without hesitation.

Since the battle between the Various Sects had begun and the quasi-saints had already made their move, there was no need for Wang Yang to continue abiding by their rules.

Naturally, if he could seize some fate in the process, all the better.

If they could take advantage of this situation to cripple Buddhism, it would be beneficial for them.

Buddhism under Master Xuanzang was still in its early stages and not yet able to contend with mainstream Buddhism.

If Buddhism, coming to the aid of Zhunti, were to fall, then Buddhism under Master Xuanzang would inevitably flourish. With his loss and Master Xuanzang’s gain, Wang Yang would also receive great benefits.

His involvement in this return was not solely for fate but also to change Master Xuanzang’s destiny.

Now that Wu Tian wanted to take on Buddhism, it was of great benefit to him.

As for whether Wu Tian would become too powerful, Wang Yang was not overly concerned.

Not to mention that he had a fairly good relationship with Wu Tian, Tathagata’s reincarnation had already passed twenty years.

When Tathagata retakes Mount Meru, the outcome will be nothing more than mutual destruction.

No matter how you look at it, neither Buddhism nor the Demon Clan will fare too well.

"May I trouble Empress Nuwa to hold off the South Pole Elderly Immortal and Zhunti."

Wang Yang respectfully addressed Empress Nuwa.

Without waiting for Empress Nuwa’s agreement, Wang Yang looked at Jieyin and said, "Fellow Daoist Jieyin, Buddhism and Daoism are irreconcilable, and it has come to this point anyway, make your move!"

Without waiting for Jieyin’s consent, Wang Yang made his move,

The pavilion turned to ash instantly, and Jieyin along with Wang Yang soared up towards the Ninefold Heaven.

Empress Nuwa turned her gaze to the South Pole Elderly Immortal and Zhunti.

"Alas, I had not wished to make a move, but now it seems that for the sake of the stability of the Three Realms, both the Cutting Teachings Sect and the Wa Huang Palace should withdraw from this strife among the various sects,"

The Saint Taiqing sighed, his face full of melancholy.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Master Xuandu immediately went behind Empress Nuwa, surrounding her.

The situation implied they planned to deal with Goddess Nuwa first!

Now that it was three against one, it was entirely possible to take down Nuwa in the shortest time and then assist others.

By then, as far as they were concerned, the matter would essentially be resolved.

But just as they were about to make their move, an unexpected change arose from beneath Beiju Luzhou.

Three formidable auras soared into the sky, scattering the disciples of the various sects still fighting below.

"Hahaha, what a sanctimonious Saint Taiqing!"

The voice from the middle of the three powerful auras did not hide its contempt for Saint Taiqing’s hypocrisy.

"You just want to maintain the fate of the Expounding Teachings Sect and the Human Teachings Sect, yet you talk of the stability of the Three Realms."

"Taiqing, if you’re thinking of making a move, we three can join you for a bout,"

Saint Taiqing’s expression became grave because all three auras belonged to Quasi-Saints.

Currently, with only his avatar descending to the lower realm, his strength was indeed slightly greater than that of Tongtian and Yuanshi celestial Venerable, but he too was just a Quasi-Saint. If these three truly confronted him, they would undoubtedly be able to hold him back.

"Who are you? Don’t you know this is a great battle among the various sects?"

"Do you really wish to doom yourselves by meddling with the leftover plans from the initial purge? Outsiders who dare to intervene, if Daoist Ancestor Hongjun blames you, you’ll find it hard to bear!"

Saint Taiqing threatened as he looked at the three formidable auras.

At the same time, he also expressed a notion: whatever they were doing was their internal affair, and if outsiders interfered, that would be a different matter.

"Do you truly not know who I am?"

The aura on the left revealed its figure.

"Xingtian! You also wish to be involved in this matter?"

Seeing the figure of the headless being coming into view, how could Daoist Ancestor Taiqing not recognize his identity.

Since the Primordial Continent, no one could survive without a head, except this Xingtian.

"Were you not in the celestial Prison?"

As Xingtian is immortal and indestructible, even the Jade Emperor could only imprison him in the celestial Prison to wear down his strength.

However, he had now appeared here.

Xingtian laughed heartily and said, "What do you think, how could a mere celestial Prison contain me!"

Saint Taiqing fell silent, understanding in his heart that probably the celestial Court, too, was involved, just hiding too deeply.

Up to this moment, he realized too many variables had emerged in this great battle among the various sects, and nothing had gone according to his plans.

"Saint Taiqing, Master Xuandu, today, let us be the ones to challenge your great skills,"

The other two auras also revealed their forms: they were Houtu and Zhu Long.

"Daoist Friend Ping Xin, how did you come out of the Nine Netherworlds!"

Zhunti was taken aback upon seeing Houtu. During the great battle between the Sorcerers and Monsters in ancient times, when the Shamanic Tribe was on the brink of destruction, not even Houtu had emerged from the Nine Netherworlds.

And now, just for a minor struggle over fate, Houtu had actually come from the depths of the Nine Netherworlds.

This was beyond imagination.

Houtu, Nuwa, Xingtian, Zhu Long.

A total of four at the Pinnacle of Great Luo.

Facing the three of them.

It could be said that the three of them were the ones truly in danger now.

"If that is the case, let’s see if the Shamanic Tribe still possesses the strength from the times of old after all!"

Saint Taiqing wasted no more words, directly bringing out the Taiji Diagram and pressing it toward the three Pinnacle of Great Luo of the Shamanic Tribe.

The aura fluctuated across three thousand miles, their actions completely disregarding the feelings of those below.

For Taiqing, there were no disciples of the Human Teachings Sect below.

Moreover, with the Expounding Teachings Sect and Buddhism about to be wiped out, his intervening now was not unacceptable.

"Saint Taiqing, you truly are despicable!"

Empress Nuwa waved her hand, blocking that terrifying force and preventing it from disturbing the people below.

But Saint Taiqing’s actions were really disappointing.

Meanwhile, far away on Mount Meru, Guanyin and Samantabhadra received telepathy from Daoist Jieyin, realizing that something was terribly wrong. The two turned into a rainbow and hurried toward Beiju Luzhou.

In the celestial Court, those like Master Yuding and Yun Zhongzi, after receiving communication from the South Pole Elderly Immortal, paid no heed to the trivial matters of the Expounding Teachings Sect and, riding on Auspicious Clouds, rushed to Beiju Luzhou as well.

For a time, Beiju Luzhou nearly became a gathering place for Quasi-Saints.
