Chapter 113: Seven Big Dippers and Two Celestial Stars

Taiyi Zhenren was like being enlightened. He opened his eyes wide, his eyes flashing with disbelief, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that our Twelve Stars are not as good as your Big Dipper." There was a hint of bitterness and helplessness in his voice, as if at this moment, he truly realized the gap between himself and the Big Dipper.

Guo Xiu looked at him strangely, his brows slightly raised, "Isn't it normal that your Twelve Celestial Stars are not as good as our Big Dipper? If it weren't for the fact that you used my master's Twelve Celestial Stars formation, do you think we would have let you pass three hundred moves? What are you thinking?" There was a hint of sarcasm and disdain in his tone, as if he found Taiyi Zhenren's ignorance funny.

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren was even more surprised. His face turned pale, and his lips trembled, as if he could not accept this fact. "Nonsense, our Twelve Heavenly Star Sword Formation is clearly the true teaching of our master!" He loudly retorted, with a hint of anger and unwillingness in his voice. This is a matter of dignity, and there is absolutely no compromise.

Guo Xiu shook his head, with a mocking arc on his lips, "If that's the case, why is your Twelve Heavenly Star Sword Formation so weak in the future and is now falling apart?" There was a hint of coldness in his tone, as if revealing a cruel reality.

Taiyi Zhenren fell silent, his face becoming even paler. He knew that what Guo Xiu said was true, the Twelve Heavenly Star Sword Formation had indeed fallen apart, and could no longer exert its former power. He sighed and said regretfully: "That's because our Twelve Heavenly Stars can no longer be gathered together."

Guo Xiu sneered, "You believe such words. I don't know whether to call you naive or stupid. If it was really created by your master Yuanshi Tianzun, would he have to separate you brothers and give them to a few people in the Buddhist world? Would he have to spare no effort to promote your Twelve Heavenly Star Sword Formation?"

Taiyi Zhenren looked at Guo Xiu in disbelief, his eyes full of doubt and struggle. He shook his head and said firmly: "Impossible, Master will not lie to us."

Guo Xiu sighed. He knew how Taiyi Zhenren felt at the moment. He said calmly, "You know about Master Shen Gong, right? Whose disciple is he? Whose disciples did he persuade? To be honest, he is the one who has inherited your master's true teachings. Either his name has the word leopard in it or he is from the Jiejiao sect. You should wake up."

After hearing what Guo Xiu said, Taiyi Zhenren felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer. He sat on the chair blankly with a blank look in his eyes. He knew that what Guo Xiu said was true. Shen Gongbao was indeed a disciple of his master Yuanshi Tianzun, but he persuaded the disciples of his third uncle Tongtian Jiaozhu to participate in the Conferred Gods Battle.

At that time, everyone had some doubts. Since it was agreed that only disciples would participate in the war, why did they break this rule later? Not only that, but they also defeated more gods. Otherwise, they would not have defeated the heaven, and their own cultivation would not have been able to rise to the next level. Every battle led to a fall of several levels, and now it is difficult to return to the glory of the past.

However, for the sake of their own interests, they did not delve into the matter further and simply blamed everything on the fact that the disciples of Jiejiao did not cultivate their minds and cultivate their character well. Now, all the doubts and puzzles have been answered at this moment.

His heart was filled with anger and disappointment. He felt as if he had been deceived by his master. His face turned pale and his lips trembled, unable to accept this cruel reality. His eyes flashed with sadness and pain, as if he was telling of his helplessness and loss.

Guo Xiu looked at the painful expression of Taiyi Zhenren and felt a little sympathetic. He knew that Taiyi Zhenren must be in great pain at the moment, but he also understood that this was the reality that Taiyi Zhenren had to face.

"Do you know why I chose to join Jiejiao and take Master Tongtian as my master?" Guo Xiu suddenly spoke. He did not wait for Taiyi Zhenren's answer, but continued on his own, "That's because my second uncle Yuanshi Tianzun is extremely wise, and my master Master Tongtian is straightforward and honest. With such personality differences, it is difficult for the two sects to balance. That's why I took up the responsibility of Jiejiao by bringing my skills. Back then, I followed the order of Emperor Yao and joined Jiejiao in order to seize a chance to change the fate of the world."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren suddenly burst into laughter, revealing endless bitterness and helplessness in his laughter, "The opportunity to change your fate? Yes, who among us has truly escaped the teasing of fate? We have been cautious at every step, but we still cannot escape our fate. How can we change our fate by defying the will of heaven?"

Guo Xiu looked at him quietly, and when his laughter died down, he slowly spoke: "Think about the level of heaven your master lives in now, and perhaps you will understand that once some things are done, there is no going back."

Taiyi Zhenren took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil. He sighed, tears welling up in his eyes, "The Qiankun Mountain where my master lived is now on the 32nd floor of the sky. At first, we all thought it was because he purified the evil spirit for Nezha, and never suspected any other reasons."

Guo Xiu shook his head slightly and said, "Your master and I are from the same generation. In our era, there was a unique method for purifying evil spirits, and there were many people who mastered this method. Your master was once a leader among them. It is impossible for him to fall from the sky because of purifying evil spirits." At this point, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, "It was the reincarnation of the spirit bead that your master cast, which made everyone focus on Nezha, thus covering up the loss of the glass bead in the previous life and this life."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren nodded silently without saying anything. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, trying to calm himself down.

Guo Xiu continued, "So your master was also involved in the case of my lost glass beads, or at least he was an insider. And he may have deeper reasons for supporting the Buddha, not just to cover up the fact that the Twelve Heavenly Star Sword Formation was not created by him."

Taiyi Zhenren sighed and looked at Guo Xiu with a complicated expression, "Some things seem to have changed after you analyzed them like this. In your opinion, what will be the fate of Nezha?"

Guo Xiu shook his head and said irresponsibly: "How should I know? Nezha has been a shield for thousands of years. Do you think he can change all of a sudden? Moreover, his fate has long been closely linked to that glass bead. How can he get rid of it easily?"

Taiyi Zhenren asked worriedly, "What will happen if he really falls to the bottom?"

Guo Xiu said in a serious tone: "Death and disappearance. After all, this catastrophe cannot be solved by a glass bead of past and present lives. If Nezha disappears because he is no longer needed, isn't that normal?"

"So this time, Master did not choose to purify Nezha's evil spirit, but went to the demon world. I was unwilling to do so, so I used the twin formation to protect his life." Taiyi Zhenren murmured. Although he said that many things changed after being analyzed by Guo Xiu, he was still affected by his analysis.

"Have you heard where my other brothers are?" Guo Xiu asked.

Taiyi Zhenren came back to his senses and said, "Xinghai, Xingyun, Xingtian, Xingfeng, Xingyu, Xinglei, and Xingdian, with Xingtian's rebellion, they no longer have any names. Now we only know that Xinglei is still known as the True Lord of Daode in the Taoist world."

When Guo Xiu left the Weigong Temple Secret Realm, he rewarded the dog demon patrolling outside the Tiancheng Temple with a beast speech pill. The entrance to the Weigong Temple Secret Realm was indeed within the Tiancheng Temple. No wonder so many people couldn't find the Li Jing'an Secret Realm. Who would have thought that the entrance was not in Wansong Temple, but in Tiancheng Temple?
