Chapter 2574 - 2572: Endowed with the Merit of All Gods
Zixuan and Little Kirin exchanged a look, and in an instant, all the memories of their past lives awakened. Their eyes turned red, and they began to weep on the spot.
Jiang Ziya pointed at them and said, "Everyone has seen it. This little girl was originally the Zixuan flower on Kirin Cliff of Kunlun Mountain. This young man is the embodiment of the blood spirit from Kirin Cliff’s blood light."
Everyone was greatly astonished, and a silence fell over the crowd.
The Lady of Mount Li asked, "What is my junior sister’s relationship with them?"
Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "Your junior sister, Cloudy Sky Fairy, was once slain beneath Kirin Cliff, but the blood spirit did not perish. It was protected by the blood Qi of Kirin Cliff. She found the blood spirits of her two sisters from the Primordial Unity Jade Box and the Three-Treasure Jade Ruyi and brought them down to the Mortal Realm with the Kirin blood spirit. The blood light you just saw actually contained four blood spirits!"
"Mother!"
Little Kirin felt a sense of relief in his heart, finally understanding why he had such a deep entanglement with Lin Yingying.
He looked at Zixuan and finally understood why he felt so familiar when they first met.
It turned out they were together in a past life.
"So, what are you going to do?"
The Lady of Mount Li’s oppressive presence covered the entire scene, her icy gaze fixed on Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Ziya pointed at Zixuan and Little Kirin, smiling, "Elder sister, one must speak reasonably. They are originally things of Kunlun and should return to Kunlun, which is their true home. I am here under orders to take them back for secluded cultivation to help them safely pass through this catastrophe."
"Who wants to go back with you!"
Little Kirin and his four siblings stood up simultaneously, glaring at Jiang Ziya, "Kirin Cliff of Kunlun was formed after the body of the Primeval Kirin perished during the catastrophe of the Dragon and Phoenix. I am of the Primeval Kirin bloodline, not someone of Kunlun!"
Zixuan stood up as well, saying, "I am a disciple of Mount Li. My master is the Lady of Mount Li. What does that have to do with your Kunlun?"
The Lady of Mount Li also stared coldly at Jiang Ziya, sneering, "I wonder how you’ll take the two of them away from here today!"
Jiang Ziya held the Primordial Unity Jade Box in one hand and summoned a three-zhang-long copper whip with the other, addressing the Lady of Mount Li solemnly, "Elder sister, this is the edict of our master. Please make things easier for your junior brother. Otherwise, if our Exposition Sect begins a conflict with your Mount Li, you will ultimately gain nothing."
"Just a God-Beating Whip, and you dare to give orders here? Do you think I am one of those divine spirits on the Investiture of the Gods?"
The Lady of Mount Li raised her hand, revealing a black longsword with a mysterious light, like a black hole.
This longsword’s material was unknown, seeming both real and illusory. Upon emergence, it devoured the surrounding space.
Huang Feihu watched from the side, exclaiming with alarm, "Primordial Unity Mother Qi Sword!"
The Lady of Mount Li sneered, "It seems you have some insight. But whether it’s you, Jiang Ziya, or even your master, no one will leave with even a blade of grass from my Mount Li today."
Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and said, "Back then, Duo Bao, the four major disciples of the Sect of Severance, became the Western leader, Turtle Spirit Holy Mother died at the hands of the Western Sect Hierarch, and Golden Spirit Holy Mother died in the hands of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara from the Western direction. Only Wudang elder sister safely passed through the calamity. The junior brother was puzzled, but now finally understands that Wudang elder sister was actually of the Primordial Unity Boundless Body."
In front of everyone, he revealed the history of the Lady of Mount Li, causing the Primordial Unity Mother Qi Sword in her hand to emit a resounding chime.
Before the world was created, the primordial spirit of the Lady of Mount Li was nurtured in chaos.
She was originally an essence transformed from the Mother Qi of All Things between heaven and earth. Later, she cultivated with the Sky-reaching Hierarch and was granted the name "Wudang," meaning boundless.
All the Mount Li disciples were stunned, never expecting their master to be one of the four major disciples of the Sect of Severance.
After the Divine Enthronement, Sect of Severance disciples were suppressed at every turn.
Mount Li disciples always believed their master was a mere loose cultivator between heaven and earth.
Jiang Ziya raised the Primordial Unity Jade Box in his hand and said, "Elder sister, you should know the origin of this magical treasure. It is more than enough to deal with anyone below a Saint, and it is a natural restraint against you. You have worked hard to operate Mount Li for so many years. Why give up your position for two disciples? You must understand that if you turn against the Exposition Sect, there’s no turning back from this calamity."
"You talk too much!"
The Wudang Holy Mother unleashed a sword, and the surrounding space split into cracks, instantly enveloping Jiang Ziya.
Within the Exposition Sect disciples, Jiang Ziya’s mana was modest.
Yuanshi Celestial Venerable once said he was destined to gain no great Tao and could only enjoy the blessings of the Human Realm.
But due to the merit of the Divine Enthronement, he eventually became an immortal in his physical body.
Although he has only the cultivation level of a physical body immortal, he bears the merit of countless deities.
A mass of golden energy protected his body, resisting the Wudang Holy Mother’s sword.
With a muffled drone, the Primordial Unity Mother Qi Sword grazed past him, emitting a harsh scraping sound.
Yet it couldn’t break through the golden energy.
Jiang Ziya wielded the God-Beating Whip, striking it fiercely against the longsword. With a bang, it clashed with the Primordial Unity Mother Qi Sword.
The God-Beating Whip specifically targets the primordial spirit.
The Lady of Mount Li, using her primordial spirit to wield the Primordial Unity Mother Qi Sword, was likewise suppressed by the God-Beating Whip.
This strike shook even her Divine Sea.
Nevertheless, the Chaos Qi within the Primordial Unity Mother Qi Sword countered some of the divine power.
The Lady of Mount Li merely took a step back and reevaluated Jiang Ziya, saying, "The merit of the Divine Enthronement, coupled with the power of all deities, is truly extraordinary."
Jiang Ziya chuckled lightly, "Thank you for the compliment, elder sister. If this junior brother didn’t have some skills, how could he lead the current Kunlun Mountain?"
The twelve Golden Immortals of the Exposition Sect, all of them established their own paths.
It is the unremarkable Jiang Ziya, due to the merit of the Divine Enthronement, who is now the leader of the Kunlun Mountain.
Yuanshi Celestial Venerable, up in the Thirty-Fourth Heaven, rarely manifests in Kunlun Mountain now.
The five looked and spoke as one, "Exposition Sect traitors, this calamity, you dare to bully my Sect of Severance disciples!"
They stepped forward to assist, aligning themselves with the lineage of the Sect of Severance.
Truthfully, by tradition, they are Yin Yang Sect disciples, belonging to the lineage of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
The five wielded swords with the Five Elements Formation, merging five Emperor Swords into one, emitting Five-Colored Profound Light, slashing fiercely at Jiang Ziya.
The Emperor Sword, with the stimulation of the Five Elements Formation, was no less potent than the Wudang Holy Mother’s earlier strike.
The colossal sword descended, causing the ground around Jiang Ziya to fracture into chasms instantly.
However, Jiang Ziya did not dodge, allowing them to launch the strike.
With a muffled thud, this sword struck the Golden Light Barrier as though it hit a bubble, sinking swiftly yet unable to harm the golden light in the slightest.
Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and laughed heartily, "I have the merit of countless deities within me. As long as the deities are not extinguished, the Golden Light Barrier upon me shall not vanish. No matter how great your cultivation, you cannot harm me in the least."
He raised his hand, handing the Primordial Unity Jade Box to Huang Feihu, blocking the Wudang Holy Mother in front, commanding, "I will hold back elder sister, you go deal with these juniors!"
Huang Feihu took the jade box, almost brought to tears, never expecting that he had inadvertently found the right person.
The gentle and fragile Prime Minister Jiang of the past had now become so powerful in mana.
Wielding a spear in one hand and the jade box in the other, he shouted at Little Kirin and the others, "Wild monsters and traitors, today is the day you die!"
Little Kirin and the others exchanged a look, shouting in unison, "Retreat!"
The group quickly retreated, with Little Kirin holding Zixuan in his arms as they withdrew.
"Where do you think you’re going!"
Huang Feihu raised the Primordial Unity Jade Box and pursued Little Kirin and the others.
The Wudang Holy Mother wanted to assist but was intercepted by Jiang Ziya.
Their Primordial Unity Mother Qi Sword was fully wielded, causing constant ripples on Jiang Ziya’s Golden Light Barrier, yet it could not harm him in the least.
The Primordial Unity Jade Box opened upon reaching Little Kirin and Zixuan, flashing with mysterious light, like a space descending from above, instantly capturing Little Kirin and the others within.
"Big brother, sister-in-law!" shouted Little Bai and the others urgently.
All four of them raised their swords simultaneously, charging at Huang Feihu.
Jiang Ziya, however, grabbed the jade box and shouted at them, "Stop! If you dare to act recklessly, this old man will immediately activate the jade box to turn these two children into a pool of blood!"
