Disciples of the Three Teachings Descend the Mountain, Diary Speaks of Kong Xuan and Six-Eared!

Li Yuan snapped back to his senses, thinking to himself.

"It seems Master and the others have returned from the meeting at Purple Cloud Palace."

"Let the clone stay in the cave dwelling and keep writing the diary; I need to hurry to Eight Scenery Palace."

As soon as he stepped out, he ran into Xuandu.

"Greetings, Senior Brother."

"Junior Brother, you... ah, have you broken through to late-stage Mystic Immortal?"

"Yes, Senior Brother, by sheer luck. Let's make haste to Eight Scenery Palace—we mustn't delay."

"Speaking of which, earlier when Master left and then returned summoning the disciples into Eight Scenery Palace, I wonder what it's about."

"It must be the matter of the Witch-Demon Calamity. The world outside Kunlun Mountain is so chaotic; I hope we don't have to go down."

Before long, Li Yuan and Xuandu arrived at Eight Scenery Palace and took their seats calmly.

He cast a fleeting glance back, and it made Ju Liusun and the other three tremble slightly.

That aura of senior brotherly authority instantly cowed them.

Ju Liusun, Wenshu, Cihang, and Puxian exchanged glances, communicating through divine thought.

"That look from Senior Brother Li just now was truly terrifying."

"Thankfully, his admonitions kept us from straying, and we even turned misfortune into fortune."

"Exactly, Master giving us private lessons alone—it's absolutely wonderful."

"Let's find a chance later to show ourselves before Senior Brother Li, so he can see we've reformed."

"Agreed ×3!"

Before long, the disciples of the Three Teachings had all gathered in Eight Scenery Palace.

Laozi sat at the head and spoke calmly.

"Outside Kunlun Mountain, the Witches and Demons are vying for supremacy over the Primordial World, seeking to reenact the tragedy of the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation."

"We have deliberated long and are prepared to send you down the mountain to resolve the conflict between Witches and Demons—it will also serve as a trial."

"Do not worry for your safety; we will assist from the shadows, but the main effort must rely on yourselves."

Having said this, he saw Li Yuan's face full of utter despair, sighing heavily.

Resolve the conflict between Witches and Demons?

Even a Sage would struggle with that!

At the same time, the diary had already begun to complain.

In the side hall of Eight Scenery Palace, Laozi's clone held the diary and hadn't put it down once.

[This feels like sending Benbo'erba to deal with Tang Sanzang and his disciples—the Demon Court is overbearing, the Witch Clan brainless, neither side listens to reason. How do you resolve that?]

Laozi furrowed his brow slightly. He had originally thought there was room to mediate the Witch-Demon conflict.

But after reading Li Yuan's diary, he suddenly felt it was extremely difficult.

"Could it be that the Witches and Demons are fated to stir up chaos in the Primordial World, leaving countless beings to suffer?"

[There is a way to mediate the conflict between Witches and Demons, but the timing isn't ripe yet. For now, we'll take it one step at a time.]

A gratified smile instantly appeared on Laozi's face.

"This Daoist knew Li Yuan would have a solution—he always comes up with something new."

Back in Eight Scenery Palace, Yuanshi and Tongtian casually added a few words.

"You disciples of the Three Teachings must support one another and not let discord arise."

"If anyone lays a hand on a fellow disciple, do not blame This Daoist for personally cleaning house!"

Tongtian's words carried a sharpness like the edge of a sword.

It made the disciples of the Three Teachings involuntarily shrink their necks and quickly voice their assent.

In the end, Laozi continued speaking calmly.

"After descending the mountain, try not to cause slaughter. Familiar fellow disciples may go down together to reduce danger and deepen bonds. Go now."

Li Yuan sighed with considerable worry, thinking to himself.

"Really just free-range chickens, huh. Straight down the mountain like this."

Slap—

His shoulder was suddenly tapped. Li Yuan turned to see Xuandu, Guangchengzi, and Duobao approaching.

Xuandu's hand was still resting on his shoulder.

"Junior Brother, how about we descend the mountain together?"

Guangchengzi and Duobao said nothing, inwardly puzzled.

Why did Master insist they follow Li Yuan?

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't lose it later.

But since they had an excellent relationship with Li Yuan, they couldn't be bothered to think too much about it.

Li Yuan took one look, his eyes lighting up, and agreed immediately.

"Let's go, let's go—down the mountain."

With this lineup, what more could be said? The Chief Disciples of the Three Teachings were all present; the prestige was maxed out.

Li Yuan and the Chief Disciples of the Three Teachings headed straight down Kunlun Mountain.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, the four of them looked at each other, somewhat lost.

Guangchengzi glanced around and sucked in a cold breath.

"So... so where are we going?"

Duobao: "I don't know either. You said go down the mountain, so I just followed."

[Down the mountain, on a trip, totally lost—no idea where to go. Everyone says now's the time to go find Liuer and Kong Xuan.]

Inside Biyou Palace, the avatar Tongtian had left behind furrowed his brows tightly.

"Who are Liuer and Kong Xuan?"

"Could they be some reclusive great powers even This Daoist doesn't know about?"

[Kong Xuan is probably just born, still holed up in the Southern Blazing Undying Volcano. Future peak Quasi-Sage, the number one under the Saints—pity he didn't join a Saint's lineage, self-taught instead.]

Inside Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi's avatar, upon seeing the words in the diary, His eyes instantly flashed with sharp light.

Peak Quasi-Sage, number one under the Saints, self-taught.

Damn!

How could those words form a complete sentence?

Yuanshi's face was full of smiles as he sighed endlessly.

"A heaven-defying genius, a true heaven-defying genius. He ought to join my Exposition Sect."

[Kong Xuan is the First Phoenix's eldest son of the Phoenix Race, wielding the Innate Five Elements Qi. Logically, joining the Exposition Sect would suit him best, but unfortunately, Second Martial Uncle doesn't like him.]

Slap—!!!

Yuanshi slammed the diary onto the table, shouting in his heart.

"Who said This Daoist doesn't like him? This Daoist likes him immensely, absolutely adores this kind of disciple."

"No, I can't let other disciples get there first."

He reached out and sent a jade slip floating before Li Yuan and the others.

"Since you have no destination, let me point the way for you. The conflict between the Wu and Demon Races is hard to resolve."

"Why not seek a breakthrough from another angle? The Phoenix Race at the Southern Blazing Undying Volcano is an option—worth a try."

"Go on..."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, deeply agreeing, and thought to himself.

"Not bad, not bad—just the chance to meet this number one under the Saints who's stirring up the Primordial World."

The other three naturally had no objections, and they all set off for the Southern Blazing Undying Volcano.

Meanwhile, in Biyou Palace, Tongtian slammed the table with a bang, wailing endlessly.

"I was just a moment too late—how did Second Brother get there first?"

"He sure was lucky, just happening to think of sending Li Yuan and the others to the Southern Blazing Undying Volcano."

Tongtian stood up, a resolute gleam in his eyes.

"Since this Liuer is mentioned alongside Kong Xuan, he can't be any ordinary figure."

"This Daoist is determined to have this Liuer!"

At the same time, inside Eight Scenery Palace, the true bodies of the Three Pure Ones were all present, but the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Tongtian turned his head away, sulking, careful not to let the other two know.

Otherwise, the matter of the diary would be exposed.

Laozi suddenly asked, "The Southern Blazing Undying Volcano—Second Brother, how did you think of that place?"

Yuanshi sighed and said with a straight face, "When I returned from Purple Cloud Palace, I saw the Phoenix Race and the Demon Race clashing."

"It seemed like a good breakthrough point, so I let Li Yuan and the others give it a try."

Inside Biyou Palace, Tongtian continued slamming the table with a bang.

"Damn it! Why didn't I check the situation between the Wu and Demon Races in the Primordial World!"
