Chapter 54

On the cloud bed, the Primordial Celestial Venerable watched the battle below with a grim expression, feeling his face was greatly lost, and his anger began to rise.

Beside him, the Grandmaster of the Thorough Heaven Sect, however, wore a smile, watching with great interest.

But the True Man Huanglong was ultimately much stronger than the Golden Toad, with far deeper magical powers. Eager to win, he continuously unleashed the Jade Purity Divine Thunder, instantly battering the Golden Toad until its skin was torn and it was in a sorry state.

"This round is my loss."

The Golden Toad, unable to hold on, finally fell to the ground, transformed into human form, and bowed in submission, then turned and entered the Formation of the Severed Teachings with his head lowered.

The True Man Huanglong landed, also somewhat disheveled, his face pale, and returned to his own formation.

Even though he had won, he had nothing to be proud of and naturally did not continue the fight or say any unnecessary words.

The Severed Teachings lost a round, but the Daoist Duobao in front did not say much, merely comforted the Golden Toad, and then looked back.

The many inner disciples showed no change in expression. Finally, a woman in a bright red brocade robe stepped forward.

"The Fire Spirit of the Severed Teachings!" The woman was valiant and graceful, wearing a golden mist crown and a water-fire sash, looking at the Disciples of the Exposition Teachings with a challenging gaze.

Behind, Ding Yue frowned and glanced at the calm Daoist Duobao.

The Disciples of the Exposition Teachings, on the other side, looked somewhat displeased. Their opponent was a third-generation disciple, and they did not have a suitable person to send out!

"Duobao has a good disciple." The Primordial Celestial Venerable also noticed the scene and, with a turn of his thoughts, understood everything.

Even he greatly praised the Fire Spirit Saintess, saying to the Grandmaster of the Thorough Heaven Sect.

"Only a bit too proud, she needs more tempering." The Grandmaster of the Thorough Heaven Sect also doted on this third-generation disciple, smiling as he said.

In the end, a named disciple of the Exposition Teachings reluctantly stepped forward, at the same level as the Fire Spirit, an early-stage Golden Immortal, but he was a second-generation disciple and did not want to enter the formation.

The Fire Spirit Saintess continuously unleashed her techniques, one after another, and in no time, the Exposition Teachings disciple was busy defending, dodging in all directions.

"This round is my loss." Seeing the Fire Spirit Saintess about to unleash another secret technique, the disciple hurriedly admitted defeat and turned to return to his own formation.

"Hmph!" The Fire Spirit Saintess coldly snorted, looking at the Exposition Teachings disciples with disdain.

"Come back." Daoist Duobao said, seeing that the Fire Spirit still wanted to stay in the field, and the Exposition Teachings disciples looked even more displeased, he had to call back his proud disciple.

"Jiuliusun of the Exposition Teachings!" On the other side, Jiuliusun jumped out, the Immortal Binding Rope in his hand shining with golden light.

In response, Daoist Duobao gave a nod to the Golden Light Immortal, who then stepped out of the formation, bowed to Jiuliusun, and a layer of golden light surged from his body, flowing smoothly.

Seeing this, Jiuliusun threw the Immortal Binding Rope, but to his surprise, it wrapped around the Golden Light Immortal several times, yet the Golden Light Immortal's golden light flashed, and the rope fell to the ground, completely ineffective.

Seeing this, the Golden Light Immortal's hand flashed with golden light, and he struck a palm, sending the unprepared Jiuliusun to the ground.

Gaining the upper hand, the Golden Light Immortal had a significant advantage, pressing Jiuliusun hard, making him struggle to defend. After a moment, Jiuliusun had no choice but to admit defeat.

The Golden Light Immortal did not return to the formation; another Golden Immortal disciple of the Exposition Teachings jumped out.

But the Golden Light Immortal's golden light provided a wondrous defense, making it impossible to grasp, and no techniques or secret methods could approach him. He naturally unleashed his full power, pressing the Exposition Teachings disciple.

Winning another round, the Golden Light Immortal was satisfied, looking at the Exposition Teachings disciples.

"Too much!"

Finally, the Red Spirit angrily jumped out, without a word, using the Yin-Yang Mirror to immobilize the Golden Light Immortal, then crossing a pair of treasure swords, water and fire emerged, and with a twist, broke the Golden Light Immortal's protective golden light.

"Go back!" The Red Spirit said disdainfully, turning his hand and forming a large hand, which struck the Golden Light Immortal back to the Severed Teachings formation, in a sorry state.

"Hmph!" Daoist Duobao caught the Golden Light Immortal, coldly snorting.

Beside him, the Feathered Immortal could not bear it, and without waiting for Daoist Duobao to speak, he shouted and stepped out of the formation.

With a gesture, a celestial sword flew out, a flash of light, and it slashed toward the Red Spirit.

"Stop!" The Red Spirit turned the Yin-Yang Mirror, a beam of white light shot out, immobilizing the celestial sword in mid-air, then the water and fire blades turned, cutting toward the Feathered Immortal.

The Feathered Immortal was startled, moved his body, dodged the water and fire blades, and with a palm, struck them away!

Then he shouted, gestured, and numerous celestial swords rose, shining brightly, densely packed, sword qi filling the field!

The Red Spirit's body flashed with celestial light, his celestial robe appeared, protecting him, the Yin-Yang Mirror flew up, rotating continuously, emitting light, forming a barrier, immobilizing the Feathered Immortal's many celestial swords.

Upon closer inspection, those celestial swords were made from the Feathered Immortal's own feathers.

The Red Spirit was secretly alarmed, his eyes flashing with a fierce look, the water and fire blades moved, emitting a bright light, and shattered the immobilized celestial swords, turning them into fragments that fell to the ground.

"Spit!" The Feathered Immortal spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with hatred, then a copper tower appeared in his hand, which he threw at the Red Spirit.

The Red Spirit was greatly alarmed, trying to dodge, but was still hit by the treasure, his celestial robe's light flickering, dimming, his face turning pale, nearly spitting out blood.

"Stop!" Seeing the treasure coming again, the Red Spirit's eyes flashed with a fierce look, he shouted, grabbed the Yin-Yang Mirror, and struck a powerful beam of white light, hitting the Feathered Immortal.

Instantly, the Feathered Immortal's spirit was immobilized, a powerful force came, trying to dissipate his spirit!

The Feathered Immortal was instantly panicked!

"This round our sect loses!"

At the critical moment, Daoist Duobao stood up, reached out, and pulled the Feathered Immortal back, his hand glowing with celestial light, striking the Feathered Immortal, dispersing the white light in his body, stabilizing his spirit.

"Thank you, Master Brother!" The Feathered Immortal's face was pale, coldly snorting at the Red Spirit, putting away his treasure and celestial sword, and sitting back in his formation.

He did not think he was inferior in skill, knowing that his speed advantage was hard to use here, losing a major means from the start.

The Red Spirit, on the other side, looked at Daoist Duobao with surprise, expressionless, put away his treasure, and returned to his formation.

Next, the disciples of the two sects continued to fight, gradually getting into a real battle, using powerful techniques and treasures, with injuries and even serious injuries occurring.

But overall, the Severed Teachings had a significant advantage, while the Exposition Teachings were somewhat cramped, with some people fighting multiple rounds.

After all, their numbers were much fewer!

But even so, the Great Enlightenment disciples and key disciples of the two sects remained seated, unmoving!

"Amitabha! I, Maitreya of the Buddhist Sect, specially come to learn the great law of the Severed Teachings!"

On this side, the One-Qi Immortal Ma Yuan had thrown a Golden Immortal disciple of the Exposition Teachings to the ground, unconscious, and a plump, smiling monk from the Buddhist Sect stepped forward.

Seeing this, Ma Yuan did not hesitate, gestured, and a large hand grabbed toward Maitreya.

Maitreya could not help but laugh, hands clasped, his body glowing with golden light, making Ma Yuan's large hand unable to grab him.

Then, Maitreya reached out, and a golden, glowing hand grabbed Ma Yuan, trying to throw him to the ground.

Ma Yuan was furious, his hand flashed, and a celestial sword appeared, slicing through the large hand and striking Maitreya.

Maitreya saw this, a pair of golden cymbals flew out, growing to several feet, making a loud noise, shaking Ma Yuan's head.

"Bang!" Maitreya, seizing the opportunity, struck Ma Yuan with a large hand, throwing him to the ground.

"Ha ha ha..." Maitreya, suppressing Ma Yuan, laughed loudly.

"Hmph! Bald monk asking for a beating!" On this side, Qiongxiao, seeing Maitreya's arrogance, was furious and wanted to stand up!

"Sit down!" Yunxiao held Qiongxiao back, scolding her.

Maitreya was a direct disciple of the Venerable Subhuti, with peak Golden Immortal powers, just a step away from the Great Enlightenment realm, and his treasures were also extraordinary, making him hard to deal with.

Sure enough, several more disciples of the Severed Teachings stepped forward, all defeated and returned in a sorry state.

Even the Exposition Teachings disciples, the Great Treasure Dharma Master and the Clear Void Daoist, were defeated by him!

"Master Brother?" Dingguang Immortal frowned, looking at Daoist Duobao, saying, "Maitreya is a direct disciple of the Sage, we should send out a Great Enlightenment realm expert."

Daoist Duobao thought for a moment, then shook his head, looking behind, but could not find anyone who could defeat Maitreya.

"Master Brother, let me go." A disciple behind spoke up.

He wore a simple Daoist robe, his Great Enlightenment realm power subtly revealed.

Daoist Duobao looked and saw it was the named disciple who had achieved the Great Enlightenment realm.

Although his realm was sufficient, his treasures were lacking, making it somewhat dangerous.

Daoist Duobao considered, then shook his head.

At this moment, Maitreya defeated another Exposition Teachings disciple, laughing loudly.

Above, the Two Sages of the West, even the Buddha Lord Jieyin, smiled.

The Three Pure Ones, however, all looked displeased.

"Venerable Subhuti's disciple is indeed extraordinary." The Great Celestial Venerable said to Venerable Subhuti, his voice loud.

The great sages also discussed, some gloating!

"Hmph!" Daoist Duobao showed some anger, took out a golden hammer treasure, and gave it to Fire Spirit, saying, "Take this and drive him away!"

Fire Spirit was already angry, took the golden hammer, stepped forward, and without a word, struck the golden hammer, making a loud boom, golden light shining.

Maitreya was greatly alarmed, his golden cymbals flew out, trying to block.

But the golden hammer was immensely powerful, just one strike, and the golden cymbals' light was scattered, falling to the ground.

Then, it struck again toward Maitreya.

Maitreya had no choice, dodged to the side, took out a bag, which bulged, trying to suck in the golden hammer!

Fire Spirit coldly snorted, the golden hammer fell, striking the bag to the ground!

"Ah!" Maitreya, unable to dodge, was hit by the golden hammer, his Buddha robe torn, spitting blood, flying out of the field.

"I admit defeat!" Maitreya called, somewhat resentful, put away his treasures, and returned to his formation.

"Come back." Daoist Duobao, seeing this, called back the reluctant Fire Spirit.

Above, Venerable Subhuti's face was somewhat displeased, saying to the Grandmaster of the Thorough Heaven Sect, "Your disciple's treasures are indeed extraordinary!"

The Grandmaster of the Thorough Heaven Sect was indifferent, giving Venerable Subhuti a cold look.

At this point, the performance of the Severed Teachings disciples was already clear, in the Golden Immortal realm, the Severed Teachings disciples were at the forefront, and the disciples of the other sages could not match the Severed Teachings' sharp edge!

At this moment, the Southern Pole Immortal suddenly stepped out of the Exposition Teachings formation, entering the field, and said to Ding Yue, "Ding Yue Daoist, it is time to understand the cause and effect between us."

Ding Yue frowned, wondering why the Southern Pole Immortal was targeting him. The gap between them was obvious, where did the Southern Pole Immortal get the courage?
