Rebirth of Nezha in the Investiture of the Gods

This Myriad Immortals Diagram once belonged to the mighty Eastern King of the Primordial World. Back during the first lecture in the Purple Cloud Palace, the Eastern King and his Dao companion, the Queen Mother of the West, were the center of attention.

At that time, when the Primordial World had just settled, Hong Jun appointed two immortals to manage it: the Eastern King and the Queen Mother of the West. The two became the foremost male and female immortals of the Primordial World.

Additionally, Hong Jun gifted them the Dragon Head Cane and the Jade Scepter. The Eastern King himself also owned the Myriad Immortals Diagram, a supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure in the form of an array map. Emboldened by Hong Jun's decree, the Eastern King became arrogant enough to contend for power with Donghuang and Taiyi.

The outcome was as expected. Though the Myriad Immortals Formation was formidable, his own abilities fell short, and he was ultimately destroyed by the Demon Clan.

The Myriad Immortals Diagram later fell into Tongtian's hands. The power of the Myriad Immortals Diagram under Tongtian was fundamentally different from when it was with the Eastern King—its might was incomparable.

Under Tongtian's command, his myriad disciples each played their roles, and countless formations were interconnected through the Myriad Immortals Diagram.

This was the strength of the Myriad Immortals Diagram. Not only did it contain an exceptionally powerful formation on its own, but it also linked the formations within it, thereby unleashing astonishing power.

Dark clouds loomed over the city; within the Myriad Immortals Formation, an atmosphere of despair hung thick. Countless formations and magical artifacts interconnected through the Myriad Immortals Diagram, creating a sight that was terrifying merely to behold.

Laozi, Primordial, and Zhunti entered the formation to observe. Upon seeing the scene within, their expressions changed drastically.

Although Tongtian had yet to make a move and the exact power of the Myriad Immortals Formation remained unknown, such considerations only applied to ordinary people. For Saints like them, was there anything they couldn't see clearly with a single glance?

Precisely because they could see through it, they understood deeply that the Myriad Immortals Formation was nearly unbreakable, its strength surpassing even the Slaying Immortal Formation.

"Fellow Daoists, this Myriad Immortals Formation gathers the power of all disciples of the Jie Sect. With just the three of us, it would be difficult to break it within a short time."

Primordial, prioritizing the Chan Sect's grand plan, was the first to speak.

"Indeed, it seems we must call upon Fellow Daoist Jieyin for assistance."

Laozi also spoke, though fully aware that the more the two Saints of the Western sect exerted themselves, the greater the karmic debt they would owe them in the future—something that would only complicate matters later.

Yet, to break Tongtian's Myriad Immortals Formation, such concerns could not take precedence now. Naturally, this deepened their resentment toward Tongtian.

After all, if not for Tongtian deploying such a deadly formation, why would they need to incur karmic debt to the two from the West?

It must be understood that karmic debt between Saints was the hardest and most troublesome to repay.

"I shall go invite Senior Brother now!"

Zhunti did not delay, understanding the cause-and-effect relationship involved, and immediately agreed to call on Jieyin.

Meanwhile, outside the formation, Yu Ding and Li Mingzhu were locked in an intense battle, unable to gain an edge over one another.

If it were five or six years ago, Li Mingzhu would never have been a match for Yu Ding. But now, things were different.

After witnessing the overwhelming strength of Qianye Wuheng, Li Mingzhu forged her own path, melding all her abilities into one. Her power had grown exponentially.

Not to mention that her basic cultivation had seen significant advancement. All of this had made the current battle between Li Mingzhu and Yu Ding one of equals.

It is worth mentioning that Qianye Wuheng had also arrived, accompanying Bixiao. With the summoning of the Heavenly Flower Falling Banner, Bixiao naturally needed to be present. As for Qianye Wuheng, he came with a singular purpose: to battle a Saint!

Like Kong Xuan, Qianye Wuheng had reached a critical juncture. He could either fight to the death or, like Ming He and Zhen Yuanzi, retreat into seclusion for silent cultivation.

Clearly, the latter choice did not align with Qianye Wuheng's character. After all, this was someone willing to forsake everything for the sake of cultivation. To him, nothing was more important than continuously advancing his power.

Of course, that was his current mindset; the future might hold changes.

Leaving Qianye Wuheng aside for now, the battle between Li Mingzhu and Yu Ding was, to be honest, something no one had anticipated to reach such an intense level.

After all, what kind of figure was Yu Ding?

Though he had not achieved the rank of Quasi-Saint, even most Quasi-Saints might not be his match. His mastery of Sword Intent was unparalleled, and he had even slain a clone of Ming He.

Yet, such a Yu Ding was now locked in an equal battle with Li Mingzhu. It was indeed difficult for many to accept.

However, Randeng and Wen Shu, among others, were not surprised in the slightest. After all, they had long been aware of Li Mingzhu's terrifying potential, so nothing could surprise them anymore.

"Wind Severing!"

Outside the Celestial Star Battle Formation, Yu Ding's fury was palpable. With his hair standing on end, he unleashed the Green Jade Sword, flooding the battlefield with righteous and unrelenting Sword Qi.

"Stepping Heaven!"

Facing Yu Ding was no trivial matter, unlike the more relaxed battle against Yang Jian. Li Mingzhu went all out, employing nearly every tactic at her disposal aside from the Celestial Star Battle Formation.

Sword Qi and spear radiance clashed incessantly in midair, sparks flying in all directions. Aside from the observing Saints, nearly everyone within the Chan and Jie factions paid rapt attention to this duel.

Regardless of the outcome, from this day on, no one would dare regard Li Mingzhu as a mere junior anymore.

Though there had been stories of Li Mingzhu's past achievements circulating, they had always remained just hearsay. But this time, her power was on full display before everyone's eyes.
