After remaining silent for a while, Empress Nuwa was the first to propose taking her leave,
and casually brought the dazed Daoist Lu Ya back to the Primordial World.
The four saints, Yuanshi, Taishang, and the others, exchanged glances.
Daoist Jieyin took the initiative to speak:
"Fellow Daoists, the Chaos is fraught with endless dangers."
"The juniors are highly vulnerable to danger here. Why don't we first take them back to the Primordial Continent, then discuss the matter further?"
When Primordial Heavenly Venerate, Grand Supreme Elder Laozi, and Daoist Zhunti heard this, the expressions on their faces eased slightly, and they nodded in unison.
"Fellow Daoist Jieyin's words are most reasonable."
Then, the four saints acted together, collecting all the disciples present into their sleeves.
Their forms scattered, and they vanished from this chaotic space, returning to Kunlun Mountain.
After casually casting spells to heal the injuries on the disciples, the four saints entered Jade Void Palace together and sat upright on their respective meditation cushions.
After a long while, Primordial Heavenly Venerate finally spoke:
"Fellow Daoists, the sudden emergence of the Chaos Bell this time was merely an accident."
"Our focus this time should still be the increasingly fierce Great Tribulation of Investiture of the Gods."
"If we still cannot think of a solution, I'm afraid the tribulation aura will eventually spread to our disciples, and may even implicate us."
"Do not forget the previous Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation and Tribulation of the Witch and Demon."
After hearing Primordial Heavenly Venerate's words, the other three saints present all fell silent.
That was right.
The first Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation had left the western region of the Primordial World barren, and it had yet to recover even now.
The second Tribulation of the Witch and Demon had directly broken the Buzhou Divine Mountain, the pillar supporting the heavens. Even the Thirty-three Heavens had been shattered, causing the waters of the Heavenly River to pour into the Primordial World.
Although the current Investiture of the Gods Tribulation was, broadly speaking, still under the control of the saints.
No one could predict what would happen.
When the tribulation finally reached its conclusion, who knew whether it would cause all of them to descend personally and undergo the tribulation?
One had to know that the Interception Sect, which they had originally schemed to undergo the tribulation this time, had produced an anomaly like Lin Xuan.
No one had expected that the ordinary Eldest Disciple whom Tongtian had accepted back then would suddenly become so formidable after a million years of secluded cultivation.
In the end, Daoist Zhunti took the initiative to speak:
"But now, every disciple of the Interception Sect is hiding on Golden Ao Island under Lin Xuan's leadership, using some kind of profound formation to Obscure Heavenly Secrets."
"Even if we saints act personally, we cannot calculate its exact location. What should we do?"
Upon hearing this, a trace of helplessness also appeared on Primordial Heavenly Venerate's face. He was likewise completely powerless against this matter.
The scene fell silent once more.
Then, Daoist Jieyin spoke tentatively:
"Fellow Daoists, why don't we visit our teacher again and ask him to deduce the location of Golden Ao Island, forcing the disciples of the Interception Sect to emerge from seclusion and undergo the tribulation?"
The corners of Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Grand Supreme Elder Laozi's mouths twitched violently when they heard this.
Zhunti and Jieyin could abandon all shame, but the two of them could not be so shameless, could they?
They had already lost enough face by joining forces with outsiders to bully their third brother.
Later, their master Hongjun had personally acted and imprisoned their third brother, Sect Master Tongtian, in Zixiao Palace.
Even after things had reached this point, the four saints still had no way to deal with Lin Xuan, the Eldest Disciple of the Interception Sect.
To slink away and ask their master Hongjun to intervene.
Wouldn't that be blatantly making fools of themselves?
They could not bring themselves to do such a thing. Saints still had to preserve some dignity.
Thus, the two saints, Yuanshi and Taishang, shook their heads and rejected Daoist Jieyin's proposal.
But for the moment, they also could not think of any solution.
They could only remain locked in this stalemate, silently waiting for some turning point to emerge.
Elsewhere.
After leaving the Chaos, Lin Xuan went straight to the boundless Sea of Blood.
This place had transformed from Great God Pangu's navel, and it contained the filthy blood of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods slain by Great God Pangu.
It contained boundless blood poison and baleful energy. Birds could not fly across it, and fish and shrimp could not survive within it.
An almighty cultivator had even been born in this boundless Sea of Blood.
Ancestor Minghe!
He had been born holding the two slaughter weapons, Yuan Tu and A Bi, which symbolized the innate Dao of slaughter.
He possessed the boundless Sea of Blood and refined billions of Blood God Sons.
He was known for the saying: As long as the Sea of Blood did not dry up, Ming He would never die.
He was one of the foremost mighty figures in the Primordial World, an old-established quasi-saint!
Unfortunately, this quasi-saint had always possessed rather poor luck.
When he went to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao, he had arrived too late and failed to claim the meditation cushion symbolizing a saintly position.
He had schemed for the Hongmeng Purple Qi on Hong Yun, but had failed.
He had even been taught a lesson once by Taiyi, Di Jun, Kun Peng, and Zhen Yuanzi, who had joined forces.
Later, after seeing Empress Nuwa create humanity and obtain Heavenly Dao Merit to become a saint,
he imitated her and created the Blood Sea Asura Clan, which inherited the Dao of slaughter. In the end, he obtained almost no merit.
Then, after seeing the Three Purities and the others establish sects and become saints,
he followed their example and founded the Sect of Asura. The result was the same: he obtained only a tiny amount of merit.
Then, during the Tribulation of the Witch and Demon, something even more tragic happened.
Houtu directly transformed into the reincarnation cycle in the boundless Sea of Blood, delivering the souls of all beings from death.
She occupied more than half of the Sea of Blood.
Ancestor Minghe had wanted to object, but after seeing the wok-sized fists of the other eleven ancestral witches, he could only swallow his words of protest, and even had to greet her with a smile.
This time, Lin Xuan had set his sights on him as well!
