Chapter 268 Zhou Tian Ten Formations

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Shen Gongbao and said slowly: "The ones on the list are all divine patterns of heaven and earth, given by the heaven, which cannot be described or passed on. They cannot be seen before the Conferred Gods are over. It is normal that you don't recognize them. Baihe Tonger, put this list away and give it to your uncle!"

Baihe Tongzi took down the Conferred Gods List and rolled it up into a scroll. Shen Gongbao suppressed his excitement and took it with both hands. Yuanshi Tianzun asked Baihe Tongzi to take out a golden knife and give it to Shen Gongbao, but did not give him the divine whip.

Yuanshi said: "Go ahead, hold the Conferred God List, build the Conferred God Platform, and confer the title of God on me. This is a destiny. You and Jiang Ziya are both born to meet the calamity, and only you can enjoy the merit of being conferred gods.

This knife is the blade of despair, which is refined by the innate Gengjin Qi. It can kill those below the quasi-saint level. I leave it to you for self-defense. But you must remember that this blade cannot be used too much. This blade can hurt others as well as yourself. With your strength, it is quite special, but you can only use it five times at most, otherwise you will die."

What a good thing! Shen Gongbao's eyes lit up as he stared at the golden knife in his hand. Then he bowed to Yuanshi and said, "Thank you, teacher!"

Then he said, "I have something else to report!"

"Speak."

"Teacher, I went up the mountain this time because Cheng Tang's Grand Master Wen Zhong personally led the army to conquer Xiqi. There were the Four Saints of Jiulong Island and the Ten Supreme Heavenly Monarchs of Jin'ao Island accompanying and assisting. They are all powerful people. My Taoism is humble and I cannot defeat such strange people. Please have mercy and help the people of Xiqi!"

Yuanshi glanced at him indifferently, as if he could see what he was thinking, which made Shen Gongbao's heart tremble. Just when he was worried, Yuanshi said indifferently, "I already know about this matter. The Shang Dynasty destroyed the Zhou Dynasty. This is destiny. Xiqi is the Holy Lord of Yingtian. In times of crisis, the free masters will come to help. You don't have to worry. Go!"

Shen Gongbao didn't dare to ask any more questions. He had to bow his head and leave the palace. He went down the cliff and rode the black tiger towards Xiqi.

Yuanshi was sitting on the seat, holding a jade ruyi, and said lightly: "You all should pay attention to the Conferred God event at any time, and you must not slack off. Go away, and we will meet freely in the future!"

All the disciples of the Chan Sect stood up and bowed their heads, and filed out.

Shen Gongbao ran forward all the way, and suddenly came across a mountain range, and saw two Taoists competing in Taoism. Both of them were quite extraordinary, with the power of Xuanxian, but their Taoism was average, like casual cultivators without a good inheritance.

When the two saw Shen Gongbao, they stopped, then looked at each other and were about to leave. Seeing this, Shen Gongbao thought to himself that I am now fighting with the Shang Dynasty, and I am in need of help. These two are quite extraordinary, and maybe I can use them.

Seeing the two people leaving, Shen Gongbao said lightly: "Daoyou, please stay!"

Suddenly, an inexplicable force was surging, causing the two people who were turning around to leave in front to stop their steps, and their bodies turned around uncontrollably, but they were quite anxious in their hearts, because their bodies were not under their control!

"Daoyou, please stay!" Another inexplicable voice came out, making the two people tremble in their hearts.

At this time, the two people calmed down and looked at Shen Gongbao. They felt that this person was quite kind. They smiled and said, "Who is the Taoist priest? Why do you want us to stay?"

"I am Shen Gongbao, the national teacher of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The Shang Dynasty was unrighteous and the people of the world were suffering. This time, the Western Zhou Dynasty conquered the Shang Dynasty. It is the time when you two Taoist brothers need your help! It is time to make achievements and establish a career!" Then, Shen Gongbao explained his situation and invited the two people.

"King Zhou is stupid, and we brothers should do our part. Daoyou invites you, and we dare not refuse!" The two responded instantly, and their tone was majestic.

"That's great. What are your names and why have I never heard of them before?" Shen Gongbao was overjoyed and asked.

"I am Cao Bao, a wanderer from Wuyi Mountain!"

"I am Xiao Sheng!"

...

Wen Zhong sent seven armies to attack Xiqi, but they were all injured by Shen Gongbao. Instead, he lost 17 generals of Cheng Tang and more than 700,000 soldiers and horses. The prestige of the Western Zhou Dynasty was greatly boosted, and 800 princes from all directions wanted to surrender.

In the 24th year of Emperor Xin of the Shang Dynasty, Grand Master Wen Zhong personally led troops to attack Xiqi. The Ten Supreme Heavenly Lords of Jin'ao Island, Qin Wan, Zhao Jiang, Dong Quan, Yuan Jiao, Sun Liang, Bai Li, Yao Bin, Wang Yi, Zhang Shao, and the Golden Light Holy Mother, as well as the Four Saints of Jiulong Island in the West Sea, Yang Sen, Wang Mo, Gao Youqian, and Li Xingba, were invited by the Grand Master to come from overseas to help him.

The Ten Absolute Heavenly Lords set up ten formations in Qishan according to the numbers of Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Kui, namely, Heaven Absolute, Earth Fierce, Wind Howl, Ice, Golden Light, Blood Transformation, Flame, Desolation, Red Water, and Red Sand. They were connected in a cycle and combined into one formation, which was called the Zhoutian Ten Absolute Formation.

The Ten Absolute Formation stirred up a vast murderous aura, covering Qishan. Shen Gongbao had no choice but to send people to ask for help from the immortals of the Chan Sect if he could not solve the formation.

As everyone was anxiously waiting, a red light suddenly flashed, and a Taoist descended from the sky. He had a black beard and big sleeves, and was holding a gourd in his hand. He was Chi Jingzi from the Yunxiao Cave in Shaohua Mountain. When Shen Gongbao saw the newcomer, he was overjoyed and hurried forward to salute: "Brother, why are you the only one here?"

"Brother, the other brothers will come, I just went ahead."

The next day, not long after, auspicious light flew up from the black clouds above Mount Qishan, and the fairy light revealed that the Taoist Randeng from Yuxu Sect came with the Golden Winged Dapeng Garuda and the Golden Taoist on the clouds.

Everyone hurried out of the hall to greet him. After greeting each other, they came forward to watch the Ten Absolute Heavenly Array. They saw that the top of Mount Qi was dark and formed a world of its own. There was a howling wind, blood light, and golden light. Everyone was terrified and did not dare to fight lightly.

Ran Deng said: "The Ten Absolutes are combined into one, and the Zhoutian rotates. It is a great evil array in the world. Have you met the Taoist friends of Biyou Palace before?"

Shen Gongbao said: "We have seen the evil array, but we don't know the details, so we dare not easily get involved."

Ran Deng said: "You send someone to the Shangying to write a letter. I will go to the array with you Taoist friends first to test the array, and then talk about how to break the array."

Shen Gongbao immediately ordered people to do it. When the golden bell rang, both sides came to the front of the array. On the Western Zhou side, Randeng took the lead, followed by the Golden Winged Dapeng and the Golden Taoist, Chi Jingzi, Shen Gongbao, then Yang Jian, Nezha, Lei Zhenzi, Cao Bao, Xiao Sheng, and finally Han Dulong, Xue Ehu, Jin Zha, Mu Zha, etc.

On the other side, the Ten Absolute Heavenly Lords and the Four Saints of Jiulong Island, Wen Taishi, all arrived in front of the formation, and the two sides stood facing each other.

Randeng said to the immortals: "Wait here, I will go first."

Randeng took a few steps forward and said loudly to the other party: "All of you Taoist brothers are wise men. The current Shang emperor is unrighteous and has destroyed the rules and regulations. The benevolent king of the West has appeared, and we should follow the will of heaven. All of you Taoist brothers have deeply understood the truth, how can you not understand this principle and do things that go against heaven?"

The Holy Mother of Golden Light urged the tiger under her to come out and sneered: "In the past, the black bird gave birth to the Shang Dynasty. How do you know that the Shang Dynasty has no destiny? What's more, we are just here to help Brother Wen and support the revival of the Shang Dynasty. Why do you have to use great principles to oppress us?"

The other people also said: "The Holy Mother is right. We are here. This is the calamity, and there is no need to say more, Brother Ran Deng. Our two sects have a long history, and both sides often compete. Let's see who is better today! "

Ran Deng sighed deeply and said, "Since you brothers insist on doing this, I will not say more. I am afraid that if you are not careful, you will be injured, lose your Taoist fruit, and lose your life, which is a pity!"

Jin Guang Shengmu was furious and said, "Ran Deng, don't be presumptuous and talk big. What ability do you have to break my ten formations? Do you dare to enter the formation?"

After speaking, Jin Guang Shengmu turned and entered the formation, and the other nine heavenly monarchs also entered the formation. Black clouds rolled and fog shrouded them. Everyone disappeared in a moment.
