Chapter 1189: The Three Refinement Formation
Wang Jiaohe had long heard of the Three Yin Beings. Although they had rarely appeared in the past century, they were once exceedingly active during the era of Donghuang.
Back then, the Daoist Order faced troubles internally and externally, with the Western Region Buddhist Sect watching them closely and multiple unrest and turmoil stirred by the remnants of the Confucian School.
At that time, Donghuang assumed the position as Great Sage of the Taiping Sect. Due to his special relationship with the Holy Xuan and the Holy Xuan’s wife, he effectively took on the responsibilities of a Deputy Grand Master, presiding fully over the Golden Tower Council.
Upon taking office, Donghuang immediately began internal purges. He countered infiltration by Ancient Immortals while also eliminating various opposing forces, laying the groundwork for the Daoist Order’s eventual decisive battle with the Buddhist Sect.
During this time, Donghuang borrowed the Three Yin Beings from Elder Yao and unleashed a sweeping slaughter. However, due to concerns over the repercussions, it was mainly Master Yin and Madam Bai who helped. The exceedingly terrifying Master Wan appeared far less often, which in turn left later generations with the least understanding of him. So how could one sever Master Wan’s connection to earth qi?
For a moment, Wang Jiaohe truly had no idea.
Qi Xuansu had no intention of granting Wang Jiaohe such time. Taking advantage of the moment when Wang Jiaohe was seized by Master Wan, Qi Xuansu advanced once more to Wang Jiaohe’s front and raised the Three Treasures Scepter, smashing it straight down toward his head.
Since the Three Treasures Scepter was a genuine immortal object, one’s head would surely burst open if it was struck squarely.
Wang Jiaohe had to control the jade ruler to resist Master Wan’s corpse qi and unmatched brute force, leaving him able to block the blow with only one hand.
Even with the righteous qi protecting his body, his bones still fractured. After all, even Golden Patriarch’s Immeasurable Buddha Palm had once had a finger forcibly smashed apart by the Three Treasures Scepter.
At the same time, every eye and mouth on Master Wan’s body opened wide, spewing more corpse qi that filled the surroundings.
Thankfully, the area was sparsely populated, so no innocents had to be collateral damage. However, with the corruption of corpse qi, this stretch of fine mountains and clear waters instantly transformed into a land of jagged peaks and foul waters, harboring yin energy and nurturing evil.
