Yuanshi Tianzun's Shock: This Child Cannot Be Kept

The Primordial World has no record of years.

Kunlun Mountain, the home of all gods, is shrouded in immortal energy, as it has been for countless years.

As the orthodox sect of the Mystic Sect under Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Chan Sect's dojo, Jade Void Palace, is the epitome of sanctity and majesty.

Inside the palace, time seems to stand still.

However, on this very day, this eternal tranquility was violently shattered by a disheveled streak of light.

Whoosh!

A dim golden light, as if whipped by an invisible hand, let out a terrified wail as it shot directly into the closed palace doors of Jade Void Palace, manifesting its true form in the center of the vast hall.

It was a golden edict, but now it looked like a crumpled piece of waste paper, covered in spiderweb-like cracks. The original brilliant Dao Charm of a Saint was chaotic and weak, as if it would dissipate completely at any moment.

Seated high on the Nine Dragon Incense Carriage, enveloped in endless auspicious clouds, as if one with the Great Dao, Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes, which had been calm for eternity, suddenly opened!

The moment he opened his eyes, the edict, which had barely escaped, could no longer hold on. With a "bang," it turned into a sky full of golden dust before him, completely annihilated.

An invisible wave, following the unseen connection, violently impacted Yuanshi Tianzun's Saint Body.

Yuanshi Tianzun's Saint Body, which was one with the Heavenly Dao and impervious to all tribulations, trembled violently.

For the first time, a trace of uncontrollable emotion, known as "astonishment," appeared on the face obscured by the auspicious clouds.

Immediately after.

"Pfft."

A soft sound.

A drop of extremely brilliant golden Saint Blood, as if containing the birth and death of a universe, slowly dripped from the corner of his mouth. It struck the white jade floor below, instantly corroding an unfathomably deep hole in the indestructible Chaos Jade.

He was injured.

Although it was only a negligible amount, not even considered a minor injury.

But, he was injured.

The dignified Heavenly Dao Saint, formed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit and wielding the Pangu Banner, Yuanshi Tianzun, had suffered a hidden loss in a clash of Dao Charm across endless space and time, spitting out a drop of Origin Saint Blood!

A complete humiliation!

This was the greatest humiliation since the creation of heaven and earth, and since his attainment of Sainthood!

Boom--!

An indescribable, terrifying rage erupted from Yuanshi Tianzun's Saint Heart!

In an instant, the entire Jade Void Palace, and even the entire Kunlun Immortal Mountain, trembled violently.

The originally peaceful innate spiritual energy instantly became incredibly violent, transforming into visible streams of Chaos energy that raged wildly within the hall.

Outside the palace, the Chan Sect disciples who were in seclusion, both nominal and direct disciples, were all awakened at this moment.

They looked towards the direction of Jade Void Palace in horror, feeling the boundless rage from their Master that made their Primordial Spirits tremble. Their faces turned pale, and they dared not even breathe heavily, as if struck dumb.

Master... was angry?

Who?

Who dared to provoke a Saint?

Inside Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun's chest heaved violently. The eyes that were originally as indifferent as the Heavenly Dao now blazed with a furious flame capable of incinerating all heavens.

He could not accept it!

An edict containing his Saintly Dao Charm was sent to apprehend the reincarnation of Spirit Pearl, who had offended the Chan Sect. Not only was he publicly humiliated, but he was also roared back by the other party in a way he completely couldn't understand, arrogant and overbearing!

That word, "Scram," was still like an indelible brand, deeply etched into his Primordial Spirit.

That was not magic power, nor divine abilities.

It was a kind of... will!

A supreme will that surpassed the Heavenly Dao he understood, filled with the aura of Chaos and Origin!

In the face of that will, his proud Saintly Dao Charm was as fragile as a joke.

"Who... who exactly is this person?!"

Yuanshi Tianzun gritted out the words, his voice icy.

Without any hesitation, he immediately formed Saint hand seals, and the vast Saint power within his body, like a boundless sea of smoke, circulated wildly as he began to deduce the Heavenly Secrets.

He wanted to see who this fellow who dared to challenge his majesty was!

Was it some old monster hidden in the depths of the Primordial World? Or a remnant demon god returning from Chaos?

However, in the next moment, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression became even more unsightly than before.

The Heavenly Secrets... were a complete mess!

From his Saintly perspective, the river of Heavenly Secrets, which should have been crystal clear with the past and future under his control, was now shrouded in a dense, unresolvable gray mist.

He had never seen such mist before.

It seemed not to belong to this Primordial World, carrying an ancient, vast, and even transcendent aura that surpassed the Heavenly Dao.

As soon as his Saintly divine sense probed into it, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, instantly swallowed clean. Not only could he not glean any useful information, but he was also backlashed by that strange power, leaving him feeling uneasy.

Unable to deduce!

Unable to control!

This feeling made Yuanshi Tianzun's heart palpitate and rage even more than being slapped in the face.

He was a Saint, one of the Heavenly Dao's spokespersons in the Primordial World.

On his chessboard, all things should operate according to the trajectory he had set.

The Investiture of the Gods Calamity was a shocking grand scheme he had painstakingly laid out, aiming to weaken the Jie Sect, glorify the Chan Sect, and clear the house for the Mystic Sect.

But now, on the chessboard, a piece he didn't recognize at all and couldn't control had suddenly appeared.

This piece not only possessed unfathomable strength but also acted without restraint, daring to trample on a Saint's face.

Such a terrifying variable was enough to disrupt all his plans, and even... completely subvert them!

Threat!

A sense of threat never before experienced rose from the bottom of Yuanshi Tianzun's heart, instantly overwhelming all humiliation and anger.

This child must not be kept!

Whether it was to maintain the dignity of a Saint or to ensure the smooth progress of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, this mysterious "anomaly" had to be completely erased from this world!

The rage in Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes gradually faded, replaced by an endless coldness and killing intent capable of freezing time and space.

He slowly sat up straight, and his indifferent voice, devoid of any emotion, echoed for the first time in the vast Jade Void Palace, piercing through the palace doors and clearly reaching the ears of every Chan Sect disciple on Kunlun Mountain.

"Pass down my Edict!"

The voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable absolute will.

Outside the palace, Nanji Xianweng, Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Yu Ding Zhenren, and a group of direct disciples trembled and immediately bowed towards the Jade Void Palace.

"Your disciples are here!"

"Summon Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Taiyi, Yu Ding, Huang Long..."

Yuanshi Tianzun's icy voice named more than half of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

"In Chentang Pass, an anomaly of the Heavenly Dao has descended. His name is Qin Feng. He disrupts the Destiny of our Mystic Sect and obstructs the Investiture of the Gods Calamity. He shall be the public enemy of the Primordial World!"

"From today onwards, you shall disregard all other matters and focus all your efforts on tracking this person's whereabouts!"

"Anyone who sees this person, speak no further, hold nothing back. Use all your treasures, all your means, and you must... utterly destroy his soul and eliminate all future troubles!"

"If you are unable to defeat him, you may form a formation, you may seek reinforcements, or even... use the Pangu Banner!"

The last few words were spoken by Yuanshi Tianzun almost word by word.

The moment the words "Pangu Banner" were uttered, the temperature of the entire Kunlun Mountain seemed to drop to freezing point!

Guang Chengzi and the others looked up in horror, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The Pangu Banner!

That was a primordial treasure for opening the heavens, the treasure of the Chan Sect, and their Master's artifact for proving the Dao!

To deal with an unknown Qin Feng, their Master had even granted permission to use the Pangu Banner?

What was the origin of this Qin Feng? How could he make their Master so wary!

However, a Saint's Edict could not be questioned.

They had no time to ponder further, only able to suppress their shock deep within their hearts. They all kowtowed, their voices filled with chilling killing intent.

"Your disciples respectfully obey Master's Edict!"

As their voices fell, several streams of golden light imbued with Yuanshi Tianzun's killing intent shot out from within the Jade Void Palace, entering the foreheads of Guang Chengzi and the others.

This was a wisp of Saintly Dao Charm bestowed by Yuanshi Tianzun, serving as proof, guidance, and the ultimate trump card.

A secret order of a Saint's killing intent was thus issued.

The entire Chan Sect, this terrifying war machine, at this moment, began to operate with full force for the sake of one person!

A great storm sweeping across the entire Primordial World was quietly brewing.
