Hongjun's Unease

Yang Jian paid no attention to them. Looking at the Innate Yin Yang Qi inside the red packet, he clicked his tongue inwardly, utterly shocked and astounded.

The Sixteenth Order grade, in particular, left Yang Jian horrified.

Unlike Shi Yaoyao, Yang Jian actually understood more clearly and deeply what the Sixteenth Order represented.

It represented the pinnacle of the Three Realms, the level of Saints.

"Sixteenth Order... Saints..."

Yang Jian muttered to himself, his shock beyond words.

But then he thought of that senior, who was Seventeenth Order...

That was a terrifying existence a whole level above Saints...

"What? Saints?!"

Although Yang Jian had spoken very softly, the Six Sages of Meishan, whose attention had been fixed on Yang Jian, heard him clearly and were all startled.

Could Second Master's earlier change have been caused by Saints?

No... that couldn't be...

At this moment, the Six Sages of Meishan all frowned deeply, their bodies tensing as though Saints were watching them with indifferent eyes.

"Haa..."

Yang Jian slowly exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi, calming the boundless turmoil in his heart.

As the dignified Judicial God of the Heavenly Court, Yang Jian regained his composure faster than Shi Yaoyao.

Without further thought, Yang Jian directly claimed that strand of Yin Yang Qi.

However, unlike Shi Yaoyao, Yang Jian was not so reckless as to take it out directly.

Yang Jian knew what kind of commotion an Innate divine object of this level would cause. Saints would likely descend in an instant and shamelessly seize it by force.

Thus, Yang Jian directly used that strand of Yin Yang Qi. His Heavenly Eye erupted with terrifying silver divine light, not to suppress the strand of Yin Yang Qi, but to devour and merge with it.

He wanted his Heavenly Eye to merge with the Yin Yang Qi.

In the Lotus Lantern World, Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye originated from the Heavenly Eye pendant, a supreme treasure belonging to the goddess Yao Ji.

When the Heavenly Eye pendant merged into Yang Jian's forehead between his brows, it became his third eye. That was the origin of the Heavenly Eye.

There was no need to say much about the Heavenly Eye's power. It was an exceptionally formidable divine ability, enough to let Yang Jian dominate among Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Combined with the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, Yang Jian's combat power was sufficient to contend with Quasi-Saints.

Because the Heavenly Eye was essentially a treasure, Yang Jian had thought of merging this strand of Yin Yang Qi into it. Perhaps it could make the Heavenly Eye even stronger while concealing its divine radiance from the covetous eyes of others.

However, Yang Jian had clearly underestimated the terror of this strand of Yin Yang Qi.

Though it was only a single strand, it contained the Yin Yang Origin Law.

Moreover, it was the Yin Yang Origin Law of the Great Thousand Primordial World. Its terror surpassed even the power unleashed by the Saints of this world.

After all, the Origin Laws of the Lotus Lantern World were far inferior to the Origin Laws of the Great Thousand Primordial World.

However, just like the Sky Mirror, this strand of Yin Yang Qi had also been tampered with by Bai Yu.

At this moment, what the Six Saints of the Heavens in this world had failed to discover was a pair of fiery red, bewitching eyes carrying faint golden divine light, indifferently watching the Three Realms and all living beings beneath heaven and earth.

Divine light of laws flowed within those eyes, while the divine radiance of countless Origin Laws shrouded the entire world.

Yet the Six Saints of the Heavens showed no reaction whatsoever.

Even Ancestor Hongjun, seated high within the Purple Cloud Palace, merely furrowed his brows and lightly glanced toward the Three Realms, a trace of confusion in his eyes wreathed in hazy purple qi.

Having long fused with the Dao, he was in truth at the same realm as Bai Yu, who was already a Mysterious Immortal.

However, the Lotus Lantern World was merely a Middle Thousand World, while the Primordial World Bai Yu inhabited was a Great Thousand World. The Origin Laws of a Great Thousand World completely crushed those of a Middle Thousand World.

Therefore, even though Hongjun had merged with the Heavenly Dao and possessed the Jade Plate of Creation, he was still insignificant before Bai Yu, who deliberately concealed himself. He could only sense slight changes in the Three Realms, yet could not determine what they were.

This gave rise to a faint unease in Hongjun's heart.

As though they had sensed Hongjun's gaze, the Six Saints of the Heavens all turned their eyes toward the Three Realms, then looked in the direction of the Purple Cloud Palace.

Seeing no movement from the Purple Cloud Palace, the Six Saints of the Heavens were curious but did not make a special trip there.

At that moment, Bai Yu's gaze shifted from all living beings in the Three Realms and settled upon Yang Jian.

Heavenly Court, Heavenly God Hall.

"Not good!" Yang Jian cried in horror.

He had not expected this strand of Yin Yang Qi to be so terrifying. He now felt as though his Heavenly Eye was about to explode.

Even his entire body was beginning to be obliterated and torn apart by the Yin Yang Origin Law.

"Second Master!!!"

The Six Sages of Meishan were terrified when they saw Yang Jian radiating Yin Yang mystical light, seeming as though he were being torn into pieces. They hurriedly rushed forward, no longer caring about anything else.

Boom!!!

Before the Six Sages of Meishan could touch that Yin Yang mystical light, Yang Jian sent them flying with a wave of his hand.

Yang Jian understood perfectly well how terrifying that Yin Yang divine light was. The Six Sages of Meishan were merely Grand Unity Golden Immortals; if they touched it, they would likely perish instantly, their souls scattered and their Dao extinguished.

Bai Yu remained silent. He had actually anticipated this outcome long ago.

Yang Jian's attempt to devour and merge with this strand of Yin Yang Qi was simply wishful thinking, a fool's dream.

This strand of Yin Yang Qi contained Bai Yu's Yin Yang Origin Law. Its status had already transcended this world.

Not to mention Yang Jian—even Hongjun would have to expend considerable effort if he wished to devour and merge with this strand of Yin Yang Qi.

Much less Yang Jian, who was merely a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Bai Yu lowered his eyes slightly. With a movement of his Divine Sense, that strand of Yin Yang Qi instantly withdrew all its power, its divine radiance contained. Beyond Yang Jian's control, it directly devoured and merged with Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye.

Yang Jian, who had been on the verge of shattering and dying, instantly recovered. Moreover, the Yin Yang Qi even strengthened his physical body.

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts instantly reached completion, and his physical cultivation directly broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

"This..."

Yang Jian was somewhat dumbfounded, completely unable to understand what had happened. Just moments ago, he had thought he was going to die, but then...

Very soon, the Innate Yin Yang Qi containing the Origin Law perfectly merged with Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye. A new Heavenly Eye appeared between Yang Jian's brows.

The Heavenly Eye's appearance had not changed and remained bright silver, but the overflowing silver radiance carried the power of Yin Yang laws capable of annihilating everything.

By now, the Six Sages of Meishan had long been dumbstruck. They had no idea what was happening and could only stare blankly at Yang Jian.

More precisely, they were staring at that Heavenly Eye, which radiated an aura capable of destroying all things and all living beings.

Their entire bodies trembled. Then they lowered their heads, not daring to look at it directly. The oppressive force was simply too terrifying.

Even as Grand Unity Golden Immortals, they could not endure it.
