As the battlefield of the Mahayana Practitioners gradually receded, the oppressive feeling that had rendered everyone immobile began to dissipate. The external spiritual energy resumed its flow, allowing for the casting of simple spells like the Rain Avoidance Technique.
My Buddha did not tell me how to deal with that monster. Gan Yuan, feeling somewhat uneasy, turned to Ling Chanzi and asked, genuinely doubting that the Buddha would send a Little Monk to his death.
The Buddha said that the heavenly path is constant while the human path is ever-changing; every action has its predetermined outcome, so there was no need for a monk to worry excessively.
Seeing Ling Chanzi earnestly discussing the Great Dao of the Buddhist Sect, Gan Yuan felt an urge to strangle this Little Monk who seemed oblivious and unconcerned about anything. Yet, he was truly afraid of what repercussions might arise from such an act, so he refrained from taking any action.
Just as everyone began to feel a sense of relief, the battle in the sky took a turn. The three Mahayana Practitioners who had been suppressing the monster suddenly found themselves at a disadvantage. One of them, Yi Dongzi, even lost an arm and a leg in the chaos, causing Gan Yuan's heart to sink once again.
The Eastern Jade Void Sect practitioner immediately spotted his ancestor's dire situation. The previously calm expression on Yi Dong's face darkened further.
The Light Path practitioners were initially pleased to see the Jade Void Sect and Moon River Sect suffer losses. However, upon witnessing all three Mahayana Practitioners falter, Cigarette Paper felt that things were amiss. He crushed his Communication Jade Tablet to notify his Great Master to rush for reinforcements.
The power of the Mahayana Practitioners was undeniable; those who had just built their foundation could only speculate about it. How could those remaining in the World of Mortals fail to notice such overwhelming Demonic Energy? How could they dare send their precious lives into danger amidst such chaos?
Later on, many would recall that battle in the sky and inevitably mention one thing: there was a Light Path present.
At the moment Fu Xiaohai sent out a message, Light Path Mahayana Practitioners arrived on the battlefield—not just one but seven of them. This formidable lineup was enough to instill fear throughout the entire cultivation world in the World of Mortals. Bu Luo and all other Light Path practitioners had gathered together; if any Daoist Sect attempted to assemble their own Mahayana Practitioners, they would likely match that number—any more would be rare.
Was the Light Path powerful? Many would likely agree on that point without hesitation. However, Zun Wei Guang's death became an unerasable vulnerability for the Light Path—a critical turning point leading from prosperity to decline and a source of courage for other Daoist Sects daring to besiege them.
As for Zun Wei Guang's demise, it was indeed as rumored within the cultivation world: he was besieged by five Daoist Masters, leading to his downfall. Those who understood some of the hidden truths regarding the monster in the sky would not find this matter so simple after all.
The thoughts of the Mahayana Practitioners from the Light Path were far more complex than those of their disciples. It was evident that their side held an advantage in high-end combat power, and if they did not eliminate the enemy now, would they wait until the enemy caught their breath and then be wiped out themselves? The cultivators of the Dao would not be so naive. The battlefield of Tian Zai had been divided into two parts: on one side, four Mahayana Practitioners from the Light Path were besieging the Mahayana Practitioners of the Jade Void Sect and Moon River Sect, while on the other side, three Mahayana Practitioners from the Light Path were holding back the Primordial Celestial Demon. The situation appeared chaotic.
Just as the battle raged overhead, a Seven-Colored Light Column suddenly appeared in the direction of Jincheng, visible from any angle. Both cultivators and mortals could see this beam of light in the sky. Those who had never witnessed such a scene began to kneel in reverence, praying earnestly for divine favor.
However, the cultivators understood that this was a sign that someone had invoked the Celestial Order, summoning a True Immortal to descend. The Seven-Colored Light Column served as a bridge connecting to the celestial realm. Only by invoking the Celestial Order could a passage between realms be briefly opened, allowing a Celestial Being to stay in the World of Mortals for five to ten moments. After that time, the laws of heaven and earth would automatically send that Celestial Being back to the celestial realm. If it were a True Immortal, their stay would be even shorter—perhaps less than half that time. No one knew what level of immortal had arrived at this moment.
Seeing that direction, Gan Yuan let out a sigh of relief. He knew that although it seemed to be coming from Jincheng, it was actually near Feiyuxuzong's Sect. It should be that a Mahayana Practitioner from Tian Zai had sent a message or used some means to notify their Sect; otherwise, how could there be a Celestial Being from the Eastern Realm?
If a True Immortal descended, then that monster should no longer pose a problem; at least it would stabilize the situation, Gan Yuan thought anxiously.
As soon as the immortal emerged from the Seven-Colored Light Column, they instantly vanished from sight and appeared in the battlefield above them. The Mahayana Practitioners from the Light Path immediately reacted. This action made everyone in the east feel uneasy; indeed, the other three Mahayana Practitioners from the Light Path abandoned their control over the monster. Chaos erupted in the sky once more, leaving Eastern cultivators bewildered; some didn’t even know what was happening.
This was troubling, Gan Yuan thought anxiously. He knew that this monster was precisely what needed to be dealt with now, and under such circumstances, it was unlikely that they could maintain control for much longer.
