The Saints Sense the Change and Tremble in Fear

Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.

As the leader of the Chan Sect, Yuanshi Tianzun was sitting on the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage, preaching to the Twelve Golden Immortals below.

His expression was arrogant, and he gently tapped the Three Treasures Ruyi Scepter in his hands, each tap seemingly containing the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

"The Way of Heaven is orderly; those who follow it prosper, those who defy it perish. You must understand this Primordial World trend..."

Click.

Before he could finish speaking, the Three Treasures Ruyi Scepter symbolized supreme authority, cracked open without warning.

Immediately afterwards.

The majestic face of the Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable instantly turned deathly pale, like a freshly painted wall.

The "thread" that had always connected his soul and provided him with endless Magic Power support was severed.

That was his connection with his teacher Hongjun, and the foundation of his saintly status.

Just a moment ago, that familiar port completely disappeared, replaced by a vast, unfamiliar, and extremely domineering new will.

This will is unreasonable and merciless, like a ruthless bulldozer that flattens out the original complex operating system.

"Teacher... lost?"

Yuanshi Tianzun's lips trembled. Hongjun, the invincible figure in his heart, the Dao Ancestor who had merged with the Heavenly Dao, was actually... gone?

"The... leader?"

Guangchengzi, standing below, cautiously raised his head, looking at his master's astonished expression, and felt uneasy.

Is this still the same master who would remain unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed before him?

"Get out! All of you, get out!"

The Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable suddenly waved his sleeve, sending all the bewildered disciples flying out of the Jade Void Palace.

He panicked.

I panicked completely.

If Hongjun were still alive, even if the sky were to fall, there would be a tall figure to hold it up. But now that Hongjun is gone, the newly appointed one...

The image of the young man who had once slapped Taiyi Zhenren away in the East Sea flashed through Yuanshi Tianzun's mind.

That variable named Qin Feng.

"It's over."

Yuanshi Tianzun felt his hands and feet were ice-cold.

In order to conform to the Heavenly Mandate, he had schemed against the Interception Sect and those goddesses behind their backs. If Qin Feng were to settle old scores...

"No! We absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to die!"

The Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable abruptly stood up, disregarding even the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage, and transformed into a streak of light, fleeing madly towards the Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

At this very moment.

Shouyang Mountain, Eight Sceneries Palace.

Grand Supreme Elder Lao, who had been dozing off beside the Alchemy Furnace, dropped his palm-leaf fan into the fire with a thud.

Boom!

The furnace that had been refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir for eighty-one days exploded.

But Grand Supreme Elder Lao didn't even glance at it.

His usually half-closed eyes were wide open now, filled with disbelief.

"Non-action... non-action my ass!"

Grand Supreme Elder Lao uttered a curse, completely shattering his usual image of Pure and Actionless.

The world has changed, why remain inactive? If we continue to be inactive, we'll all lose our lives!

He also sensed the will of the new Heavenly Dao; it was Qin Feng's aura, the aura of an absolute ruler.

"Run! Hurry up and make a statement!"

Grand Supreme Elder Lao didn't even ride the Green Ox; his two legs moved faster than the Wind and Fire Wheels as he rushed out of the Eight Sceneries Palace in a great hurry.

Outside the Wa Palace.

The once quiet and secluded temple grounds were now bustling with activity.

Qin Feng, along with Nuwa and his three newly recruited followers, had only been settled for a short time.

"This is the Wa Palace?"

The Ancestral Dragon transformed into a burly man, standing at the entrance with his arms crossed, like a dutiful security guard. His terrifying Dragon Might was completely concealed, as if he were afraid of disturbing the flowers and plants here.

"It's alright, a bit less grand than my Dragon Palace back then, but since it's the Mother Goddess's abode, it must be the best place in the world!"

The Ancestral Dragon's flattery was deafening.

Yuanfeng and Initial Kirin, standing nearby, were not to be outdone.

"Brother is right! This place has excellent feng shui; it's obviously a place for raising children... ugh, it's obviously a great place for cultivating one's character!"

"Me too!"

Just as these three Ancient Overlord were secretly vying for the title of "Number One Lackey"...

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two streaks of light landed almost simultaneously on the square in front of the Wa Palace.

The light faded, revealing the panting Yuanshi Tianzun and Grand Supreme Elder Lao.

Their hair ornaments were askew and their clothes were disheveled, clearly indicating they had sped all the way here.

As soon as it landed.

Before they could even see Qin Feng's face clearly, three terrifyingly fierce auras instantly locked onto them.

"Roar--"

Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, Initial Kirin stepped forward simultaneously, their eyes fixed fiercely on the two uninvited guests.

"Where did this scruffy old Daoist come from? How dare he trespass on the Father God's sacred ground?"

Ancestral Dragon grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.

Although his cultivation level was suppressed by Qin Feng, the murderous Killing Intent that had emerged from the mountains of corpses Blood Sea was undeniable.

Thump thump thump!

Yuanshi Tianzun and Grand Supreme Elder Lao took three steps back, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"Ancestor... Ancestral Dragon?!"

"Yuanfeng?!"

"The Initial Kirin?!"

It's like you're about to pay your respects to your new boss, only to discover that the security guard at the gate is actually a former underworld godfather who died hundreds of millions of years ago.

This visual impact literally overheated the CPUs of those two sages.

Qin Feng can even resurrect the dead?

And Ancient Overlord of this level?

Is this even human?

"This... this... this..."

The Yuanshi Tianzun's legs cramped up, and all the prepared drafts he had prepared vanished completely.

Just then...

Two more streaks of light flew in rapidly from the west.

The Jieyin and the Zhunti.

These two were much more experienced than the Three Pure Ones; their knees were already bent before they even landed.

Thump!

It was like two giant rocks falling to the ground.

Jieyin and Zhunti knelt on the ground with exceptional smoothness, sliding forward several meters using inertia, and stopped right at Qin Feng's feet.

"Big brother! Big sister-in-law!"

Zhunti wore a fawning expression, holding a bunch of Innate Spirit Flower that he had somehow obtained.

"After much thought, I've come to realize that the Western Teachings isn't really that bad. Tathagata and guard your house, brother, and do my filial duty?"

This series of actions was executed flawlessly, without any hesitation.

The Yuanshi Tianzun and the Grand Supreme Elder Lao were standing nearby, were dumbfounded.

Is this supposed to be a saint?

This is even more shameless than the treacherous ministers of the mortal world!

But then they realized what was going on.

face?

In the face of such Ruthless who can resurrect the Ancestral Dragon at will and utterly defeat Hongjun, what is face worth?

Thump!

Thump!

Two more muffled thuds followed.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Grand Supreme Elder Lao also knelt down.

This is probably the most magical scene since Pangu World Creation.

The four high-ranking Heavenly Dao Saint knelt neatly at the entrance of the Wa Palace, like four prisoners awaiting their fate.

"That..."

Yuanshi Tianzun swallowed hard and forced out a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

"Qin... no, Dao Master, above."

"I, Yuanshi, have been very offensive in the past; I was blind to your Mount Tai."

"Now, sensing the dramatic changes in the Heavenly Dao, I realize that the Primordial World has entered a new era. I have come here... come here to pledge my allegiance!"

"I am willing to submit to the Dao Master's judgment, even if it means going through fire and water!"

Grand Supreme Elder Lao even further, pulling out his Purple-Gold Red Gourd and Pure Jade Bottle from his waist and piling them on the ground.

"Dao Master, this is just a small gift, please accept it as a token of our greeting."

"From now on, this Eight Sceneries Palace will be the Dao Master's supply depot. If you need any pills, just give the order, and I will refine them for you overnight!"

silence.

The scene became quite awkward.

Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, Initial Kirin exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a hint of disdain.

That's it?

Is this the current Primordial World Saint?

They have no backbone at all; they're not even as tough as a scale we lost in a fight back in the day.

Qin Feng sat on the steps, toying with a strand of Nuwa's hair in his hand, looking down at the four trembling saints below, a playful smile curving his lips.

"Surrender?"

Qin Feng chuckled softly.

"Weren't you all so arrogant just now, thinking you were chess players?"

"What, now that Hongjun has fallen, you can't even stand up straight?"

The Four Saints lowered their heads even further, cold sweat dripping down their noses and soaking the ground.

"I wouldn't dare... I wouldn't dare..."

The voice of the Yuanshi Tianzun trembled.

"We were blinded by greed before, and that old scoundrel Hongjun deceived us."

"Now that I have witnessed the divine power of the Dao Master, I know what it means to be a frog in a well with a limited view of the sky."

Qin Feng did not tell them to get up.

He just watched quietly, and that invisible pressure made the Four Saints feel as if they were carrying Buzhou Mountain on their backs.

A long time passed.

Qin Feng then lazily stretched.

"Alright."

"Since you're here, don't just sit around."

Qin Feng pointed to the three people beside him, including Ancestral Dragon.

"These three guys just came back to life, they're not quite right in the head, and they don't understand the current rules."

"The four of you are responsible for providing them with onboarding training."

"What if I can't teach them well..."

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and gently flicked out a Chaos Flame from his fingertip.

"I will refine you into the true ' Three Corpses '."

The Four Saints trembled, as if granted a pardon, and hurriedly kowtowed to express their gratitude.

"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"

Seeing these four once arrogant saints now bowing and scraping for their lives, Nuwa beside Qin Feng sighed softly.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Feng turned to look at her.

"Nothing."

Nuwa shook her head, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"I just feel that this Primordial World... has truly changed."

"I used to live by scheming, but now..."

She glanced at the man with the wicked grin on his face.

"Right now, I guess I'll survive by clinging to your coattails."

Qin Feng laughed heartily, scooped her up in his arms, and strode towards the Wa Palace.

"As long as you hold on tight, no one in this world will dare to make you let go."
