Primordial Lord: Tongtian, You Dare Help the Human Emperor!

Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.

On the cloud bed, that unchanging figure from ancient times slowly opened its eyes.

Just now, he sensed a familiar aura returning to Kunlun at an extremely fast speed.

It is Taiyi.

A hint of doubt arose in the mind of the Yuanshi Tianzun.

True Person Taiyi went to Chaoge on his Imperial Edict to take Spirit Pearl as his disciple.

Why did you come back so quickly?

And all alone?

Where is the Spirit Pearl?

Could something have gone wrong?

Just as he was wondering, outside the Jade Void Palace came the slightly urgent voice of the True Person Taiyi requesting an audience.

"Disciple Taiyi requests an audience with Master!"

The Yuanshi Tianzun spoke softly, his majestic voice echoing in the empty hall.

"Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, True Person Taiyi appeared at the entrance of the main hall. He quickly walked into the hall and respectfully bowed.

"Disciple greets Master."

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at him with the same unchanging indifference throughout the ages.

Why wasn't the Spirit Pearl brought back?

Upon hearing this, True Person Taiyi was overwhelmed with grievances and fear, and he began to complain.

"Reporting to Master, it's not that this disciple is unwilling to bring the Spirit Pearl back."

"There's something strange about Chaoge City!"

A barely perceptible ripple finally appeared on the face of the Yuanshi Tianzun, which was usually devoid of joy or sorrow.

"Eccentric?"

What's strange about it?

True Person Taiyi raised his head and spoke.

"This disciple obeyed Master's Imperial Edict and went to Chaoge, intending to enter the city directly, find Li Jing's residence, and take Spirit Pearl under my wing."

"But who knew... who knew that the moment this disciple entered the city, all his Magic Power... all his Magic Power was instantly suppressed and vanished!"

"This disciple, a dignified Daluo Golden Immortal, was utterly indistinguishable from a mere mortal in that city! He even fell from the clouds!"

In the end, he felt utterly humiliated and wished he could disappear into the ground.

A dignified Daluo Golden Immortal actually tripped and fell flat on his face in a mortal city.

To be surrounded and ridiculed by a group of ordinary people is an utter disgrace.

Upon hearing this, a genuine look of surprise finally flashed in the eyes of the Yuanshi Tianzun.

Can it suppress the Magic Power of Daluo Golden Immortal?

How could a mere Human Clan capital possibly possess such methods?

"Is this really true?"

"Absolutely true! This disciple would not utter a single falsehood!"

"It seems that a massive, earth-shattering formation has been set up within that city, drawing upon the Fortune of the entire Human Clan!"

"Any deity or immortal who steps into it will be cast down to the mortal realm!"

With a thought, the Yuanshi Tianzun Beginning sent forth his unparalleled Divine Sense, belonging to Saint, across endless time and space, probing towards Chaoge, the capital of the Human Clan.

The vast Divine Sense easily enveloped the entire Chaoge City.

In an instant, the entire Chaoge City was beneath his gaze.

What should have been an unobstructed view of the mortal city was now shrouded in a dense Purple Gold light curtain in his eyes.

That is the Human Path Fortune.

Moreover, it is Human Path Fortune that has been artificially mobilized and condensed into a tangible form.

Beneath this layer of light, countless extremely complex array patterns are hidden, connecting the earth's veins and locking in the Qiankun.

"These array patterns..."

It's all too familiar.

"Hmph!" A cold snort filled with boundless anger emanated from the mouth of Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Tongtian."

"It really was you."

"Only those horned and bearded creatures you've taught would spend their days studying these unorthodox methods."

He could tell at a glance that although the arrangement of this great formation was not done by Tongtian himself, it was definitely derived from Tongtian's Dao of Formations!

This must have been done by a disciple of the Tongtian Sect!

Yuanshi Tianzun's heart was filled with rage, but even more so with deep confusion.

What exactly is Tongtian trying to do?

Why would he send his disciples and expend so much effort to help a Human Emperor set up such a heaven-defying formation?

What alarmed him even more was that this grand formation perfectly integrated the Human Path Fortune into it, serving as the core driving force of the formation.

That vast and boundless Human Path Fortune is not something that just anyone can mobilize.

Even Saint like him wouldn't dare to get involved so easily.

This Human Path Fortune is not something that a Human Emperor can easily manipulate.

Could it be... that Huoyun Cave has made a move?

A series of thoughts flashed through Yuanshi Tianzun's mind, making his mood increasingly heavy.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Yuanshi Tianzun's heart sank a little.

If Huoyun Cave is indeed supporting him from behind, then the complexity of the matter far exceeds his expectations.

Regardless, the appearance of this grand formation has already introduced a huge Variables.

This Tribulation must be dealt with with even greater care.

He looked down at True Person Taiyi and spoke in a detached voice.

"That formation is indeed very powerful."

"It can suppress Daluo Golden Immortal."

The Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable paused, then added.

"However, although this formation is strong, it lacks the ability to launch an offensive."

"As long as you don't attack the formation first, it won't harm you."

"Moreover, this formation can only be broken by the personal presence of Saint."

"But if Saint were to forcibly break the formation, he would be tainted by immense Humanity Dao Karma, which would be a greater loss than gain."

After hearing this, True Person Taiyi was completely dumbfounded.

He looked up in horror.

"What?!"

"Only... only Saint can break this?"

"How can this formation be so powerful?!"

Yuanshi Tianzun gave him a cold glance.

"What's powerful isn't the formation, but the Human Path Fortune."

"However, this formation is not entirely unbreakable."

Yuanshi Tianzun continued, but his words carried a deeper meaning.

"But it's not the right time yet. We must wait until the Tribulation begins; that will be the best opportunity."

True Person Taiyi nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Master, then... then about my taking on disciples..."

"This doesn't affect your ability to take on apprentices."

The Yuanshi Tianzun said indifferently.

"Go directly to Li Jing's residence, identify yourself as Chan Sect Disciple, and accept that Spirit Pearl as your apprentice."

He won't refuse.

"Don't forget, his other two sons, Jin Zha and Mu Zha, also became disciples of my Clarify Sect."

"To have his third son also enter the lineage of the Humanity Dao is an immense blessing; as a mere mortal general, he has no reason to refuse."

True Person Taiyi was still somewhat hesitant; he was truly afraid of the feeling of Magic Power and at the mercy of others.

He spoke cautiously.

"But Master, if I lose all my Magic Power, what if I encounter members of the Jie Interception Sect in the city..."

"Wen Zhong is Third-generation disciples of the Interception Sect, and he wields immense power in Chaoge City."

"If he finds out that I entered the city without any Magic Power, I... I'm afraid my life will be in danger!"

"Don't worry."

The voice of the Yuanshi Tianzun carried an undeniable majesty.

"Before the Tribulation begins and the Investiture of the Gods is established, they dare not attack you."

"Otherwise, it would be prematurely provoking a war between the two religions, a Karma that even Tongtian cannot bear."

Even so, seeing that True Person Taiyi was still uneasy, Yuanshi Tianzun still flicked his finger.

A mysterious Jade Purity Immortal Light instantly entered the space True Person Taiyi's eyebrows.

"This is a protective seal I use."

"Although this talisman cannot restore your Magic Power within the formation, it is sufficient to ensure your safety in case of unforeseen circumstances."

Feeling the immense power between his brows, the last trace of worry in True Person Taiyi's heart finally vanished.

He was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed.

"Disciple thanks Master!"

"This disciple will definitely bring the Spirit Pearl back to Kunlun on this journey!"

The Yuanshi Tianzun said nothing more, but slowly closed his eyes.

True Person Taiyi bowed respectfully, then turned and left Jade Void Palace.

With his master's life-saving talisman, what did he have to fear?

He refused to believe that Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect like himself would dare to disrespect a mere mortal's son when he went to his door to take him as a disciple!

True Person Taiyi transformed into a streak of light and sped off once again toward Chaoge City.
