Chapter 258 Zhunti breaks the formation
When the disciples of the Chan Sect saw that someone dared to face the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation alone, they were all dumbfounded.
The formation had just swallowed six fellow disciples, and its murderous aura was at its peak. Ordinary cultivators would avoid it like the plague, yet this person dared to stand alone in front of the formation.
The scene inside the formation was completely different from what was seen from the outside.
What met the eye was not merely mist, but a world shrouded in darkness and chaos, with sand and stones flying endlessly, each grain of sand containing a terrifying power that could erode one's soul.
The deafening roar of the Yellow River was not the sound of water, but the destructive sound of the array in operation, layer upon layer, penetrating deep into the primordial spirit.
As the person in charge of the formation, Yunxiao immediately sensed that a living being had entered the formation.
With a thought, her true form manifested at the core of the array, surrounded by celestial light, temporarily isolating her from the pervasive erosive power.
She gazed at the uninvited guests who had intruded into the fray, her voice carrying clearly through the raging wind and sand:
"Fellow Daoist, you are a reclusive cultivator, living a life of tranquility and freedom from worldly affairs. Why do you need to get involved in this mortal world's calamities and wade into this muddy water? Retreat at this moment, and I will forgive you for what you have done, considering the difficulty of your cultivation."
"Fellow Daoist, your words are far too confident. Whether to advance or retreat should be discussed after I have broken your Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation!"
Yunxiao sensed the arrogance and determination in the other person's words and knew that persuasion was useless.
With a cold snort, his true form and illusory image within the formation vanished, merging into the entire formation.
In an instant, the power of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation increased dramatically.
The wind and sandstorm intensified, the raging waves grew fiercer, and endless chaotic air currents and dissolving immortal light swept in from all directions, completely engulfing the place where Lu Ya was located.
If Lu Ya's true cultivation level weren't unfathomably profound, he would probably have been completely obliterated by this terrifying array power.
The Three Immortals saw that this formation, which was powerful enough to trap and kill a Great Luo Immortal, was operating at full power, yet it seemed to have no effect on Lu Ya.
Bixiao, with her most impetuous temper, roared angrily upon seeing this:
"What a reckless fool!"
Before he finished speaking, a golden light shot out from somewhere in the formation, and two dragons could be vaguely seen in the golden light.
When Lu Ya saw the Golden Dragon Scissors coming at him, instead of fear, a look of interest appeared in his eyes:
"Oh? It is indeed a powerful and deadly innate spiritual treasure."
He had disguised himself as Lu Ya on this trip and had specially borrowed the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife from him, which was now a good opportunity to test it out.
He also wanted to see which of the two magical treasures was stronger.
"Please turn around, baby!"
With a low shout from Lu Ya, the gourd at his waist suddenly opened, and a beam of light rose up, more than three zhang high.
Inside, an object appeared, seven and a half inches long, with eyebrows and eyes, from which two beams of white light shot out, instantly pinning down the attacking golden dragon scissors.
Immediately afterwards, the treasure spun in the air, and a dazzling cold light met the Golden Dragon Scissors.
"Clang!"
A deafening roar that shook the entire Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation erupted.
The cold light of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife clashed fiercely with the golden light of the Golden Dragon Scissors, and the resulting aura briefly pushed away the surrounding chaotic air currents.
The two magical treasures struck each other and ended up evenly matched, each flying back backwards.
"Excellent! A mid-grade innate spiritual treasure can actually rival this top-grade innate spiritual treasure in offensive power, holding its own against it. Truly astonishing! Such a treasure is destined to be mine!"
Seeing that her attack had failed, Bixiao was both shocked and furious. She activated the Golden Dragon Scissors with all her might, transforming them into an even sharper golden beam of light, and slashed through the air once more, determined to kill her.
This time, Zhunti did not test the waters.
Just as the Golden Dragon Scissors flew towards him, he suddenly flicked his sleeve, and the Golden Dragon Scissors obediently disappeared into his sleeve without a sound.
"What?"
Bi Xiao trembled violently, her face turning deathly pale instantly.
She discovered that her connection with the Golden Dragon Scissors had been completely severed.
Unable to contain herself any longer, the hot-tempered Bixiao revealed her true form and shouted at Lu Ya:
"You scoundrel! Return the Golden Dragon Scissors at once!"
However, Zhunti merely sneered, and a golden light suddenly appeared from his sleeve as he struck Bixiao Tianling with a palm.
However, this place is ultimately within the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, and Yunxiao's control over the formation far surpasses his.
With a flick of her wrist, Yunxiao instantly teleported Bixiao back to her side for safety.
After this attack, Yunxiao's expression became completely serious.
She knew that Lu Ya was not to be underestimated and that she had to deal with him with all her might.
Without hesitation, she raised her hand and summoned the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron.
Vast magical power was poured into it without reservation, and the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron surged in the air, transforming into a bottomless vortex.
A terrifying devouring power, carrying an aura of chaos, swept towards Zhunti.
Facing this all-consuming power, Zhunti was not alarmed but rather delighted.
Although this magical treasure was useless to him, its power truly amazed him.
"Fellow Daoist, this spiritual treasure is truly extraordinary; it rightfully belongs to this humble Daoist!"
Before he finished speaking, a seven-colored light flowed from his sleeve, and with a gentle flick of the light, the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron fell into Zhunti's palm.
Upon seeing this, Yunxiao was shocked and immediately realized that this person's strength far exceeded their expectations and was definitely not something that she and her sister could defeat.
She showed no reluctance to fight, nor did she linger over the spirit treasures that had been taken away. She immediately grabbed Qiongxiao and Bixiao on the left and right, and transformed into three streaks of light, retreating swiftly into Mianchi Pass.

"Elder sister, our precious treasure has been stolen! How can we just leave like this!"
"Shut up! We couldn't do anything to him even in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, let alone now that the Primordial Golden Cauldron is in his hands!"
However, before Yunxiao could finish speaking, Zhunti, with the help of the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, turned the tables and, with a wave of his hand, forcibly stripped Zhunti of control over the entire Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.
He then pressed his right palm down in mid-air, instantly suppressing Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao, pinning them to the ground and rendering them unable to move.
Without hesitation, Zhunti appeared behind the Three Immortals in a flash, gathering magical power in his palm, ready to end their lives.
At this critical moment, twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls shot out from afar, heading straight for Zhunti's face.
"The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl?"
Zhunti was not surprised but delighted. With a flick of his sleeve, the Seven Treasures Tree shone brightly and took away the twenty-four divine pearls as well.
"Today has been quite fruitful. Not only did I obtain two top-grade innate spiritual treasures,
There's also an extra mid-grade innate spiritual treasure. Since you're all so sensible, I'll spare your lives for a few more days."
Zhunti was in a good mood at the moment, so he did not kill the Three Immortals and Zhao Gongming, who had just escaped from the formation.
He turned to look at Randeng and the others who were still frozen in place, raised his hand and gently waved it, and the restraints on them immediately dissipated, and they returned to normal.
"Randeng, this Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is destined for you, so I will give it to you."
As for the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron and the Golden Dragon Scissors, let them be given to Manjushri and Julusun respectively.
Although these three spiritual treasures are powerful, they are of little use to a saint like Zhunti in terms of cultivation.
Why not use this as a favor to win over these elite members of the Chan Sect, so that they will feel more a sense of belonging to the Chan Sect?
Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, who had been watching the battle from a distance, saw that the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation had been broken, so he stopped and turned to fly towards Mianchi Pass.
Although he didn't understand why Zhunti would let Zhao Gongming and his siblings go, he didn't want to think about it too much. After all, he couldn't fathom the will of a sage. He just needed to do what he was supposed to do.
After escaping, Zhao Gongming immediately rushed back to Mianchi Pass to check on his three sisters. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they had not suffered any serious injuries.
"It is I who have implicated you. If it weren't for me, my three sisters would not have suffered this calamity."
"Brother Gongming, my three junior sisters, there is no need to panic. I have led the disciples of the Jie Sect to come and help you."
Before the three immortals could respond, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, holding the Six Soul Banner, walked calmly toward the four siblings.
