"Thank you, Master!"
Guangchengzi's nose tingled with emotion. With the appearance of the Primordial Lord of Heaven, he could clearly feel the tremendous sage pressure that had originally weighed on him vanish without a trace.
Not only that, he could also feel that as the pressure disappeared, it rebounded instead. The Heavenly Dao Merit he had gained from teaching Fuxi was rapidly transforming into cultivation!
Quasi-Sagehood was within reach!
Fuxi stood beside Guangchengzi, staring at the Primordial Lord of Heaven atop the Nine-Dragon Chariot, his expression one of shock.
Is this Grandmaster?!
His aura alone was far deeper than that of the Two Sages of the West, and far more powerful.
Moreover, this aura was different from that of the Two Sages of the West.
It was purer, deeper, more ancient... It was no longer the aura of the Heavenly Dao, but the even deeper aura of the Great Dao!
"Primordial Lord, what do you mean by this?"
Zhunti glared at Primordial Lord, his face filled with shock and fury.
As a sage, he could see far more than Fuxi ever could.
Primordial Lord had grown stronger again!
Moreover, he was far stronger than when Zhunti had seen him at Purple Cloud Palace before, as if he had broken through!
Zhunti felt even more sour inside.
He had actually allowed a sage to break through by an entire level.
The opportunity gained from teaching the Human Emperor truly was extraordinary!
Clearly, Zhunti attributed Primordial Lord's increase in strength to the opportunity he had gained from teaching the Human Emperor.
After all, only a few thousand years had passed.
What could a few thousand years mean to them?
It was not even enough time to comprehend a single law.
To break through through cultivation, one needed countless kalpas of accumulation.
Could it be that Primordial Lord had cultivated an even more profound technique?
How was that possible?
If it truly was the most profound technique, he should not have only begun cultivating it now.
Thus, it had to be the opportunity gained from teaching the Human Emperor!
Jieyin faced them with a sorrowful expression and pressed his palms together. "Senior Brother Primordial Lord, my junior and I came here under the Dao Ancestor's orders, carrying his decree, to take Fuxi to Fire Cloud Cave."
"Now, Senior Brother Primordial Lord, are you planning to defy the Dao Ancestor's decree?!"
He immediately pinned a grave accusation on Primordial Lord.
He knew that Primordial Lord was very powerful now, but Primordial Lord absolutely would not dare defy the Dao Ancestor.
As long as Primordial Lord dared to obstruct them, he would inevitably suffer the Dao Ancestor's wrath. When that happened, the Dao Ancestor might even punish Primordial Lord by making him hand over the remaining position of Sage Teacher.
As for who would receive it, was there any need to ask?
Naturally, it would belong to the West!
Primordial Lord stepped down from the Nine-Dragon Chariot, holding the Pangu Banner. He looked at Zhunti and Jieyin with an indifferent gaze. "Since the two of you came here under the teacher's orders, why did you force my disciple?"
"You forced my disciple, which means you are forcing my Chan Sect, which means you are forcing me!"
"Could it be that the two of you look down on me?"
"If so, then today, I will demand an explanation from you on behalf of my disciple and my Chan Sect!"
His voice boomed as he directly rejected Zhunti and Jieyin.
Then a system notification rang out in his mind.
[Ding! Selection successful.] [Reward: Chaos Spiritual Root: Chaos Shore Flower!]
Immediately afterward, Primordial Lord saw a purple shore flower lying within the system's storage space. It was extremely profound, radiating an indescribable charm.
At that moment, Primordial Lord could clearly see a thread of violet energy atop the Chaos Shore Flower.
"Hiss! It's actually Primordial Violet Qi!"
Primordial Lord drew in a sharp breath.
Primordial Violet Qi was both innate qi and the foundation of the Great Dao.
It was something that naturally manifested through the response of Heaven and Earth. Containing the "Dao" and "principle," even a single thread could grant a mortal spirit with no cultivation or understanding of the Dao an infinite lifespan and an undying body.
It also contained the opportunity to attain the Dao and become a sage!
One had to know that besides great opportunities and great merit, the most important factor in the Six Sages of the Heavens becoming sages was Primordial Violet Qi.
Primordial Lord already knew that the greatest function of the Chaos Shore Flower was to produce Primordial Violet Qi!
With the Chaos Shore Flower, did that not mean he would possess an endless supply of Primordial Violet Qi in the future and be able to nurture countless sages?!
By then, he would have a whole host of sage disciples.
If anyone dared provoke him, he would not even need to act personally. He could simply send a group of sage disciples to their door.
Just imagining it excited him. With a whole host of sage disciples, he could walk unhindered through the Great Wilderness, right?!
This was not just one or two sages, but a whole host—an immeasurable number. They could sweep across the Great Wilderness and become invincible!
However, Primordial Lord did not take out the Chaos Shore Flower right away. He had something more important to do: teach the Two Sages of the West a lesson!
They had dared to attack his disciple.
Those two impoverished old beggars from the West had gone too far!
He immediately withdrew his gaze. Looking at the Two Sages of the West, he showed no hesitation as the Pangu Banner in his hand descended directly. Sage laws surged, unleashing overwhelming might.
The banner swept out, and Heaven and Earth changed color. The sun and moon lost their radiance, countless stars perished, and boundless power swept forth, intending to refine the entire Great Wilderness, the three thousand great worlds, the countless minor worlds, the extraterrestrial stars, and everything else into nothingness!
Such might carried the momentum to shatter the land of the Great Wilderness.
The boundless void boomed, and the vast land of the Great Wilderness seemed ready to break apart at any moment...
Daoist Zhunti's gaze sharpened. Without the slightest pause, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree appeared in his hand. With a sudden sweep, a seven-colored stellar river appeared within the Great Wilderness.
The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree could sweep away anything.
It was also Daoist Zhunti's Dao-proving artifact.
With a single sweep, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree unleashed boundless sage might. A treasure like this could display its greatest power only in a sage's hands, allowing a sage's battle strength to stack to a terrifying degree.
Seven-colored divine light cleaved across the myriad heavens, cascading down as endless waterfalls of chaos.
This was merely a casual strike from a sage, yet it could shatter the Great Wilderness, evolve worlds, and recreate the primordial forces of earth, fire, wind, and water as the heavens and earth were reborn...
Daoist Jieyin also attacked at that moment. Holding the Demon-Quelling Pestle, he scattered boundless radiance that transformed into a heavenly blade. It stretched across countless billions of miles without end, dazzlingly bright and piercingly cold, as if it intended to split the land of the Great Wilderness in two!
Crack, crack, crack!!!
The void itself was torn apart, and the terrifying sounds made people's souls tremble.
The heavenly blade descended, its radiance illuminating the myriad worlds and endless chaos.
Who could withstand this blade? This was a sage's full-power strike. Even the Heavenly Dao laws suppressed beneath it trembled and were obliterated!
The land of the Great Wilderness was about to be split in two!
Boom, boom, boom!!!
With their very first clash, endless explosions rang out.
This overwhelming might tore through the myriad heavens, blazing and dazzling beyond measure.
The void shattered again and again. If the sages had not held back from one another, and if the Primordial Lord of Heaven had not protected the land of the Great Wilderness with his vast divine power, then perhaps everything would have ceased to exist the instant they clashed.
Even so, the entire land of the Great Wilderness trembled at that moment.
Countless ancient beings awakened one after another and looked toward the Fengyan Tribe of the human race. Their expressions then became extremely terrified.
The Primordial Lord of Heaven was confronting the Two Sages of the West, and a battle between sages had erupted. This was an unprecedented war, causing the entire Great Wilderness to tremble!
