Chapter 99: Battle
Three days later.
On the border of Qin, the sky was clear.
But the Qin soldiers guarding the border felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if the whole sky was about to collapse.
As they looked up, they saw twelve streaks of light piercing the sky in the distance, each radiating a suffocating pressure.
Twelve Purple Mansion True Men!
The border guard's face turned ashen, and he nearly dropped his command flag.
"Quickly, light the beacon fires!"
Before the words were finished, the twelve streaks of light had already hovered above the Qin border. The light faded, revealing twelve figures.
The leader was none other than the Taixi Zhenren of the Jin Yue Sect. He wore a black Taoist robe, his face expressionless, and his gaze calmly fixed on the heart of the Qin Kingdom.
Behind him, eleven Purple Mansion True Persons stood with their hands behind their backs or stepped on spiritual light, each with a different aura, yet all exuding a profound and imposing presence that made people dare not look directly at them.
"This is the Qin state."
Master Taixi spoke slowly, his voice calm and soft:
"The celestial dynasty that once ruled the world no longer has a single Purple Mansion."
A Shu Kingdom cultivator behind him sneered:
"Nothing more than dry bones in a tomb."

"We must not be careless."
Master Taixi shook his head, his gaze fixed on the direction of the distant palace, as if he could see through the layers of palace walls and reach the core of the [Great Array of Blessing All People].
"The great formation is still there, and Fellow Daoist Shangqing and Fellow Daoist Muyuan are also there."
Upon hearing these two names, the people behind him all showed a slight stern expression.
These two are both Great Immortals who have perfected the Five Laws; their strength is considerable.
On their side, only Taixi was a Great Master who had perfected all five methods. The rest of them, although mostly at the third or fourth level, were not so easy to defeat in a fight.
Master Taixi, however, did not take it to heart and said calmly:
"Proceed according to plan. My Golden Yue Sect will be responsible for containing the great formation and the [Thunderclap] cultivators, while the rest of you will surround and attack Fellow Daoist Shangqing and Fellow Daoist Muyuan."
"As long as I can hold them off, I can leave once I break the formation and sever the inheritance of the two energies of fortune and prosperity."
"clear."
The eleven Purple Mansion True Man responded in unison.
Master Taixi nodded slightly, and then all the masters disappeared into the void.
…………
Deep within the royal palace.
The Shangqing Zhenren and the Muyuan Zhenren had sensed the aura within the Great Void long ago.
Pei Xiyan, Ying Zichu, and the others were also waiting in the palace.
"【Great Array of Blessing All People】, activate!"
As the [Blessing All People Array] suddenly lit up, golden light shot into the sky, enveloping the entire Qin Kingdom.
King Ji of Qin stood at the center of the great formation, his hands resting on the [Gathering Fortune Cauldron]. He activated the power of the Ying clan bloodline, causing the bronze cauldron to tremble violently. Golden light surged out of the cauldron like a tide, spreading along the formation patterns to the entire great formation.
The blessings and prosperity of the entire Qin state converged like rivers flowing into the sea, and the power of the great formation rose steadily.
Pei Xiyan stood in the void, holding a black spear in his hand, his gaze calmly fixed on the twelve figures that were getting closer and closer in the distant sky.
The Supreme Pure Immortal stood with his hands behind his back at the highest point of the palace. His white robe fluttered in the wind, and an ancient longsword hung at his waist. The sword was not drawn, yet a sharp sword intent soared into the sky.
Master Muyuan stood beside him, holding a green wooden staff in his hand. The staff was filled with spiritual light and exuded vitality.
"Twelve."
Master Muyuan stroked his beard and smiled:
"More than expected."
Master Shangqing said calmly:
"Having two more or two less makes no difference to me."
Upon hearing this, Master Muyuan nodded and said:
"Fellow Daoist Shangqing is still so confident."
As they spoke, twelve streaks of light descended upon the palace, confronting the Qin forces from a distance.
Master Taixi's gaze swept across the area below, first landing on the [Great Array of Blessing All People], where he nodded slightly. He then looked at Master Shangqing, cupping his hands in greeting:
"Fellow Daoist Shangqing, it's been a long time."
Master Shangqing nodded slightly in response.
Master Taixi didn't mind and continued:
"Today, our four Daoist lineages have come here solely to discuss the matters of the Three Qi of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity. This has nothing to do with Mount Sanqing. Why should Fellow Daoist Shangqing get involved in this mess?"
"Muddy waters?"
Master Shangqing said calmly:
"The three energies of fortune, prosperity, and longevity are related to the foundation of all living beings. Your four kingdoms' Taoist lineages are willing to destroy these three paths for your own selfish desires. Sanqing Mountain is determined to wade into this muddy water."
Master Taixi's gaze narrowed slightly. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said:
"In that case, let's see who's the best."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the eleven Purple Mansion True Persons behind him attacked simultaneously!
In an instant, all sorts of spiritual light intertwined into a net, pressing down on the royal palace like a tidal wave!
"Good timing."
Master Shangqing smiled calmly, and his long sword was drawn from its sheath with a clang.
A beam of clear light shot into the sky, and the sword intent surged like a tide, shattering all the spiritual light that filled the sky!
Then a Purple Mansion True Man who cultivated the [Gen Earth] path was seen using his supernatural power [Moving Mountain and Suppressing].
The surrounding environment suddenly changed, transforming into several towering mountains, each a thousand feet high. These mountains stood above the Qin Kingdom, conveying a sense of confinement and heaviness.
However, Shangqing smiled calmly and said loudly:
"Yue Chongfeng, even your elder brother is no match for me, let alone you!"
boom!
Before Master Shangqing finished speaking, the clear light sword intent had already slashed upwards, heading straight for those thousand-foot-high mountain peaks.
The sword light collided with the mountain peak, but there was no earth-shattering roar, only a crisp sound of tearing silk.
The mountain peak formed by the [Gen Earth] divine power was actually split in two by the sword light, the cross-section as smooth as a mirror!
Yue Chongfeng's expression changed drastically, and he retreated hastily, but the sword light was like a persistent leech, relentlessly pursuing him.
"Fellow Daoists, please help me!"
In an instant, three beams of spiritual light suddenly shone behind Yue Chongfeng, transforming into sharp weapons, fiery birds and beasts, and a sky full of rosy clouds.
It is precisely the three paths of [Geng Metal], [True Fire], and [Wu Earth].
The three immortals combined their divine powers to block the remaining force of the sword light.
True Fire Immortal frowned slightly, made a hand seal to restore his half-crippled bird-beast, and said in a deep voice:
"Shangqing's sword intent is too fierce, and the [Qingqi] path is also very mysterious, with techniques for protecting oneself, avoiding death and prolonging life. It is not possible to fight against it head-on. We can just stall for time."
The other three officials nodded slightly.
The Pure Qi sect has no obvious restraining relationship with other sects and is not good at killing, but the Shangqing True Man has cultivated sword intent, which makes up for this.
With the added protection of the [Pure Qi] method, the four of them would find it extremely difficult not only to win, but also to injure their opponents.
Yue Shanfeng's gaze sharpened, and with a quick hand gesture, a mountain appeared, and the earth's veins shifted.
The Supreme Purity Master realized that he was gradually losing his sense of direction, and pondered to himself:
"Is it [Lost in the Path]...? This life-binding divine power cannot trap me!"
Master Shangqing raised his hand and pinched, and his body was filled with mysterious light. His eyes were clear, and he instantly found the four people from Yue Shanfeng.
When Yue Chongfeng saw that his supernatural power had been broken, his expression changed slightly, but he did not panic.
The Supreme Pure Immortal's gaze sharpened, and he saw that a huge golden cauldron had already condensed in the sky. The golden cauldron shimmered with light, and the magical light gathered.
It slowly fell.
