Not good.

A voice came from within the Shangqing Dharma Realm, faint yet seemingly whispering in the ears of every immortal and Buddha, ever-present in the ten directions of the world.

It was not a hallucination, but an exclamation from the immortals within the Biyou Palace, a complaint about their own precarious situation.

The reason they only took the Jade Pivot Treasure Scripture, but didn't give the more powerful Thunder Ancestor Scepter a second glance, was because they lacked the means to control it. It wasn't a weapon that ordinary immortals and Buddhas could wield. Recklessly holding it would turn them into another Thunder King, an incarnation of the Thunder Department's Celestial Venerable.

Among the cultivators present were two Bodhisattvas, a Demon King, an Ancient Immortal, a malevolent being formed from black Qi, and themselves. Although the Biyou Palace originated from Shangqing, it was now considered a heretical path. It could be said that everyone here deserved a good beating from the Thunder Ancestor Scepter.

Forcibly controlling it would turn this place into ruins. The Thunder Department's majesty would cleanse everything in this world. The Thunder Ancestor would issue an order to subdue all demons and monsters, and any who disobeyed would be turned to dust beneath the scepter.

Scepter, scepter, yet this scepter could not conform to the wishes of the world's immortals and Buddhas. It had its own attack logic.

So, when Ji Xiang manifested the image of Tian Peng, holding up the Thunder Ancestor Scepter, and furthermore controlling this Celestial Treasure, the immortals of Biyou Palace knew that if they didn't leave now, they would be entangled by the gods of the Thunder Department.

Without Tian Peng, thunder cannot be wielded. Tian Peng wielding the Thunder Ancestor Scepter is akin to the Celestial Venerable's incarnation. The Thunder Department's gods include the Divine Firmament Jade Mansion, the Three Provinces and Nine Divisions, the Thirty-Six Inner Courtyard Offices, the Eastern and Western Flower Platforms, the Mysterious Hall and Wonderful Pavilion, and the Four Mansions and Six Institutes. Among them, there are countless Thunder Gods, the war department among the Celestial Gods in charge of the heavens' attacks.

"What is that?"

Although Ji Xiang was commanding the gods, he didn't let go of the form and spirit that had escaped from the Thunder King's body. Its face was unclear, but it was undoubtedly related to the Thunder Department. Yet, to call it an incarnation of the Thunder Ancestor was too twisted and strange.

"Where do you think you're going?"

The Central Jade Book unleashed its power. Several great gods flew out from Ji Xiang's body, heading straight for that form and spirit. Meanwhile, five divine swords flew from Ji Xiang's sleeve, encircling heaven and earth. A great map appeared in the sky, the True Form Map of the Five Peaks!

Heaven and earth, above and below, left and right, the ten directions were completely blocked!

The form and spirit had no way to escape, and its true form manifested from that twisted state.

[Pie Que: A ghost and god transformed from ancient thunder essence. Artificially driven to descend into the Thunder King's body to achieve the purpose of transforming into an incarnation and receiving the Thunder Ancestor's heavenly might.]

This thunder and lightning ghost god had a hideous and terrifying face, not human. He wanted to attack the gods Ji Xiang had created, but he stretched out a hand and actually grabbed a giant god, opening his mouth with the momentum to devour a mountain, and directly ate the Great Mountain Jinjian God!

"Five Peaks True Form Map, suppress!"

Ji Xiang commanded the divine map to suppress it. The thunder and lightning ghost god was unwilling to be captured like this, and let out a monkey-like screech, causing thunder and lightning to flash in the sky as he transformed into a whirlwind and rushed towards the sky.

"Wind Escape!"

Wind Escape, one of the Thirteen Great Escapes, is a superior escape technique. A form and spirit ghost god was actually able to use a Great Escape.

But although the escape technique was marvelous...

...it might not be able to escape!

Ji Xiang suddenly shook his head and swayed his body, roaring at the sky like a lion. Under that ferocious roar, his "head" suddenly soared into the sky!

It turned out that a form and spirit rushed out from his head, and this form and spirit grew larger and larger. The whirlwind in the sky was swallowed by this form and spirit in one gulp. At this time, many immortals and Buddhas were shocked to see this suddenly appearing giant beast head!

What was this thing!

"Wangtian Hou!" (Gazing-at-the-Sky Howler)

Ji Xiang transformed into a Wangtian Hou and ate the thunder and lightning ghost god in one bite!

Boom— Rumble—

The immortals of Biyou Palace launched an attack at the same time, seizing the opportunity. The arms extending from the Dharma Realm began to withdraw. Although the False Gospel blocked them, causing them to be deeply trapped in a false cycle and entangled with the East Flower Fairy, there were naturally supreme experts in Biyou Palace; otherwise, they would not have been able to betray Shangqing.

Taking the name Biyou Palace naturally had a deep meaning.

An aura of flying immortality emerged from the Dharma Realm, but the flying immortal did not personally take action, but instead drove a treasure. Ji Xiang saw a treasure light flying out, and the Tongtian Mingyan (Reaching Heaven Bright Smoke) was waiting for an opportunity to seize the immortal text on the Jade Pivot Treasure Scripture, but unexpectedly, the treasure light fell directly towards the white smoke waves.

"What is this thing, coming to its death?"

Ji Xiang turned his head and stared at the immortal artifact. The giant beast head of the Wangtian Hou also turned, causing the sky to rumble and the heavenly demons to gather and howl.

When the light above turned, the Inner Vision Divine Tablet immediately gave information:

[Hun Yuan Jin Dou (Primal Chaos Golden Dipper) (No Physical Form): Immortal Artifact! Can collect all things in the world. Once the golden light appears, escape is impossible.]

[An immortal artifact that Biyou Palace refined with a large number of living beings' vows. It has no physical existence. What is seen is just its image displayed in the world. In essence, it is a product of gathered vows, untouchable.]

Ji Xiang recalled some things.

Back then, the people of the Shangqing sect said that all seventy-two sects of the Lower Mao Mountain had left Shangqing and completely moved to the southeastern region. At the same time, a large number of common people became their followers and left with them. Some came to the southeast and the South China Sea, becoming believers of the Dharma sects here, and now it seems that a large number have also become believers of the Biyou Palace.

As long as there are common people, there are vows produced. Pious offerings will produce incredible effects. Vows are truly infinitely mysterious, it just depends on how they are used.

Buzz—

The Hun Yuan Jin Dou turned a circle, wanting to absorb all of the Tongtian Mingyan (Reaching Heaven Bright Smoke), and Ji Xiang immediately retracted it. The Hun Yuan Jin Dou feinted a move, and also stopped absorbing the white smoke in an instant, turning to suck at the Jade Pivot Treasure Scripture!

"What's the use? It's still in the False Gospel. Once it's out of my spell range, this so-called treasure book will become waste paper."

The blue-clothed missionary dismissed this with disdain, thinking in his heart that the Christian False Gospel technique was close to invincible, and once it was used, it would be difficult to break.

But the immortals of Biyou Palace were not panicked, at the same moment. The second wish-fulfilling immortal artifact flew out from the Shangqing Dharma Realm, also entwined with golden light, brightly illuminating the ten directions.

[Jin Jiao Jian (Golden Flood Dragon Scissors) (No Physical Form): Immortal Artifact! Can cut off all things in the world, going back and forth, unstoppable.]

Also refined with a large number of vows, and also untouchable.

The Jin Jiao Jian shook in the void, and the solidified sky created by the False Gospel immediately shattered. Heaven and earth returned to normal operation, and the blue-clothed missionary's face turned pale, and a wisp of smoke shot out from his seven orifices.

"Cough... cough, cough!" He coughed violently, his expression horrified.

The wish had been cut off, which caused the False Gospel spell to stop working and collapse.

This kind of thing... Wishes were originally elusive, although there were methods to control them, but to so simply and rudely cut off, stop, and remove the influence of wishes... This was the first time the blue-clothed missionary had ever seen it.

Except for those below the Heavenly Heart Realm!

"What weapon is that!"

He fell into self-doubt. The Christian Dharma had actually suffered a setback, and the Thunder Department's Immortal Scripture was about to be taken away by the Hun Yuan Jin Dou. The East Flower Fairy and Zhou Sheng's vitality were damaged, trying to stop it, but the Jin Jiao Jian had already fallen on the two of them, silently cutting down.

Dang—

The golden scissors burst out with a trembling sound, because what appeared under the scissors was the Thunder Ancestor Scepter.

Ji Xiang waved the scepter, sending the Jin Jiao Jian flying far away. The purple-red lightning caused the golden scissors to shake and spin wildly in the sky. Immediately afterwards, Ji Xiang smashed the Hun Yuan Jin Dou with a hammer, and an explosion of thunder in the air, accompanied by the divine power of Imperial Heaven's Retribution, forcibly interrupted the Jin Dou's absorption!

The two immortal artifacts regrouped, controlled by the flying immortal, and a supreme power surged towards Ji Xiang's heart.

Sensing this power, Ji Xiang's spirit began to collide with the two immortal artifacts in an instant, as if falling into a storm of violent winds and raging waves. The vows on these two immortal artifacts were like the rising tide, impacting his immortal divine sense. In the collision, Ji Xiang immediately understood what kind of power "nothing cannot be collected" and "nothing cannot be cut off" were, and where their principles came from.

The power of idealism.

Gathered vows, thinking they could cut off, then the selected things would be cut off. This was turning imagination into reality, just like the False Gospel, which could turn real situations into false ones, and then turn false situations into real ones and make them beneficial to oneself.

Ji Xiang was surprised by the power of the two immortal artifacts, but not to the point of shock. After all, compared to the Christian False Gospel, these two immortal artifacts were not too outrageous, at least they needed vows to activate, and if their vows could not defeat the targets they selected, they would fail.

"Compete with vows?"

"Although I don't have a million vows to support me, I have the Three Demon Heads, I have one hundred thousand lost-path demon hordes, eighty thousand ancient heavenly demons, and in the South China Sea, there are at least tens of thousands of common people who believe in my One Demon Doctrine."

"If you want to compete, then let's give it a try!"

A hundred immortals possessed him. This was the second time, and even Ji Xiang, who had become an immortal through Qi and blood, could barely withstand it, but the benefits of the immortal souls taking possession immediately manifested. The huge wish directly pushed back the tens of millions of vows on the two immortal artifacts!

Wishes were like the sea, like a vast ocean, like wind and thunder roaring and the earth turning and dancing! Ji Xiang raised his head, and the Wangtian Hou's beast head opened its big mouth again, actually having the atmosphere of swallowing the sky, the sun and moon entering its throat, the sea of clouds becoming soup, wanting to eat the Shangqing Dharma Realm in one bite!
