The Three Pure Ones appeared nearby. Jade Pure wore a deeply troubled expression, Supreme Pure remained as arrogant as ever, while Grand Pure looked somewhat dispirited, as though he had suffered the loss of a parent. No one knew what he had lost. The area he occupied, Grand Pure Heaven, was also close to Shining Moon. I had to pass through him before I could connect with Shining Moon's side.
Supreme Pure Heaven lay right next door, and Grand Pure Heaven was farther beyond it. Thus, Grand Pure Heaven bordered not only Supreme Pure Heaven but also Shining Moon Heaven, and even the legendary war zone. Shining Moon Immortal Venerable had allies on every side, which meant Grand Pure Immortal Venerable's side was bearing the greatest pressure.
The three old fellows looked toward us and deliberately sized us up. Jade Pure gave a light cough, then smiled and greeted us with the cupped-hands salute I was most accustomed to. "Congratulations, Creation Immortal Venerable. Congratulations, Three Supreme Immortal Venerable. Who would have thought that after your two sides fought, you would ultimately merge into Creation Heaven together? Now that your two sides have finally joined forces, you have already prepared yourselves to enter the first-grade battlefield!"
"Heh heh, thank you for the congratulations, Jade Pure Immortal Venerable. But I happen to be in a great deal of trouble right now. Surely Jade Pure Immortal Venerable knows that?" I smiled broadly. Over the years, I had grown used to fake smiles.
"Heh heh, are you referring to the matter with the Six Paths Supreme?" Jade Pure asked with a beaming smile, as though she already had a solution.
"If this mess hadn't happened, we would have swallowed the Three Supreme Heavens and been done with it. We wouldn't have bothered coming over.
