Chapter 26
The Golden Dragon and the Evil Dragon Are Slain by the Sword
"The Three Immortals share control over two treasures: the Golden Dragon Scissors and the Primordial Chaos Golden Cauldron!"
When Guang Chengzi saw that Bi Xiao dared to come here alone, he quickly figured out what the other party was relying on after a moment's thought.
Besides the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, what other treasures could possibly subdue him?
Faced with this nemesis of cultivators, Guang Chengzi naturally paid close attention. He had been in the Langhuan Library for 100,000 years and had also searched for some corresponding books in his spare time.
The Hunyuan Golden Cauldron is neither a spiritual treasure, nor a precious object, nor a divine weapon. If one insists on describing it as a divine object, one can only say that it was born in response to a calamity.
The Hunyuan Golden Cauldron represents the omens of world destruction, the five signs of decay of heaven and man, and the collapse of the Great Dao.
If the world is prosperous and all living beings are happy, the power of the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron will naturally be so weak as to be unimaginable, and it may not even be able to kill a mortal.
However, if the world begins to decline, and there is no peace and harmony among all living beings, only suspicion and killing, then the power of the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron will increase by countless times. Not to mention that it can rival the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, it can even compete with the innate supreme treasure!
Although the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron would undoubtedly lose in a true contest against a supreme innate treasure, its sheer power is enough to demonstrate just how extraordinary this treasure is.
Only someone with unparalleled blessings like Tongtian would casually bestow such a terrifying divine object upon his disciple. If it were anyone else, they would probably keep it as a secret treasure and never share it with others, even if they didn't need it.
However, if we're talking about fear, Guang Chengzi wasn't entirely afraid.
After all, the primordial world had only recently been created, and there was little killing among the living beings. Instead, there was a flourishing development, with the emergence of the witch and demon races, which further enriched the world's foundation. Naturally, it was like the rising sun, not yet at its peak, and full of vitality.
During this period, the power of the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron was probably even inferior to that of a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, so he naturally had no fear.
"But we have to be careful, otherwise it will be difficult if our magic power is weakened by the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron."
Guang Chengzi seemed to be deep in thought. He knew that when his magical power was exhausted, he only needed to meditate, just like a riverbed that had dried up could be replenished by releasing water.
However, the magical power that was cut off by the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron was equivalent to filling up the riverbed, and even if it were filled again, it would be much narrower than before.
Even though Guang Chengzi possessed an immortal jade elixir that could reopen the river channel, he didn't want to waste time on it unless absolutely necessary.
As soon as Guang Chengzi stopped preaching, the many Shangqing immortals also came to their senses and immediately noticed the female immortal with a menacing aura behind them. They were all somewhat panicked.
Everyone knows that Bixiao was the most willful person in her life, but she was also the most favored by Tongtian. She did countless evil deeds without being punished, only receiving admonitions.
If they offended this senior sister, even if they didn't die, they would probably have all their magic power stripped away and become mortals, their years of hard cultivation going to waste. How could they possibly endure that?
Looking at these panicked people, Bixiao snorted coldly, her face full of resentment. Above her head, beams of white light shot out and splashed everywhere, knocking down countless mountains and filling up countless lakes, showing how unimaginably heavy her anger was!
"You are clearly people of Biyou Palace, yet instead of diligently cultivating the True Transmission of Heaven, you come to listen to these unorthodox methods. Isn't it foolish to abandon the great path to heaven and choose those narrow, winding trails? Truly foolish!"
Bixiao rebuked, "If you have even a shred of sense, leave this place immediately and wait at my Bixia Palace. I will naturally expound the Great Dao of Intercepting Heaven to you. Why listen to these heretical doctrines!"
After being thoroughly scolded by Bixiao, the hundreds of Shangqing immortals blushed, feeling ashamed and indignant, wishing they could disappear into the ground.
But if they really had to leave, none of them wanted to go, since they could still distinguish between good and bad.
Guang Chengzi's explanation of the Great Dao was entirely spontaneous, and they were drawn to it, which naturally benefited them as well.
Some people have even made great progress in their cultivation in this short period of time, and they only need to go back and absorb spiritual energy to strengthen their foundation to break through.
With such a temptation, how could they possibly leave?
It is said that if one hears the Way in the morning, one can die content in the evening; they were truly willing to give their lives for enlightenment!
Seeing that she had already tried so hard to persuade them, even wasting her own time explaining the Great Dao to them, but no one left, Bixiao could no longer suppress her anger.
"Very well, since you are so stubborn and mistake a sesame seed for a watermelon, I have no choice but to accept it. But since you have defiled the Great Dao of Biyou, you should no longer hold back your full magical power and return it all to your master! Now I will act on behalf of my master!"
With a stern shout, Bixiao threw out the Golden Dragon Scissors in her hand with a gloomy expression, aiming them directly at the Shangqing Immortals. Her attack was extremely ruthless and showed no mercy.
Not content with that, she poured all her magical power into it, transforming the golden scissors into their true form. Two extremely ferocious innate golden dragons roared, carrying with them overwhelming innate golden malevolent energy, and charged towards the group.
The element of metal in the Five Elements represents overwhelming killing intent. At this moment, the condensation of innate metal evil signifies that a certain path of slaughter has broken through the void, bringing certain death and destruction to all heavens.
It is conceivable that if these two dragons were to descend, none of the hundreds of immortals present would survive; they would all perish under the weight of these two golden dragons. This shows just how ruthless Bixiao is.
Seeing that Bixiao was really going to kill them, the immortals became slightly flustered. Bixiao sneered, knowing that these people would only face death if they didn't listen to her kind advice.
Even if Tongtian were to return and punish her, she would accept it!
Unfortunately, Guang Chengzi was there, so Bi Xiao's idea was destined to fail.
"You've slaughtered your fellow disciples; it's clear you've fallen into demonic possession. You must be suppressed for millions of years!"
Seeing that Bixiao had actually used such a deadly move, Guangchengzi did not back down and stepped forward, immediately blocking the way for these immortals.
Facing the two golden dragons, Guang Chengzi wore the same cold smile as Bi Xiao. He made a grabbing motion in the air, and a three-foot-long sword appeared in his hand.
This sword is perfectly straight, without the slightest bend. On its blade are exquisite lotus-like markings, and a lotus garland hangs from the hilt. Even before it is wielded, a fragrant aroma wafts out, as if it were cast from a lotus flower.
This was the Tai'a sword that Tongtian had previously bestowed upon Guangchengzi. Later, he also sent over several sword lotuses, which were then forged together by Yuanshi Tianzun using the wood-refining method.
Later, in order to distinguish it from the Tai'a Sword of the Holy Mother Guiling, Guangchengzi renamed this sword Taizhen Sword.
