Kunlun.
Jade Void Palace.
Primordial Lord of Heaven sat cross-legged atop the Twelve-Grade Pure World White Lotus, enveloped in dense holy light that purified everything. The laws of the Great Dao intertwined around him, forming a dense Dao cocoon filled with countless mysteries and boundless spiritual resonance.
The Heavenly Mystery Compass slowly spun before him, drawing in even more of the Great Dao's aura.
Tea leaves picked from the Chaos Enlightenment Tree were also being refined.
Within the Floating Island, countless innate spiritual roots swayed, sending endless Dao Rhyme surging into the Jade Void Palace and pouring into Primordial Lord's body.
Within the Dao cocoon, Primordial Lord of Heaven's aura grew increasingly profound. With the aid of numerous spiritual roots and treasures, his cultivation was rapidly advancing.
Before long, a series of fine "crack, crack" sounds came from within the Dao cocoon.
At first, they sounded like splitting wood, faint and delicate.
Then, they sounded like the earth moving and the void tearing apart.
Finally, they reached their peak. The immense sound swept through the entire Jade Void Palace, like the shattering sound of heaven and earth being born, deafening and soul-shaking!
The heavy Dao cocoon split apart completely, transforming into endless Dao Rhyme that merged into Primordial Lord's body. His rapidly rising aura gradually stabilized.
"This Heavenly Mystery Compass really is a treasure. Who would have thought that by relying on it, I would break through directly to the Seventh Heaven of Sainthood!"
Primordial Lord of Heaven was overjoyed.
The Seventh Heaven of Sainthood!
His current cultivation had reached the same realm as Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality.
He had far surpassed Tongtian and the Two Sages of the West.
How long had it been?
It had only been a few thousand years since he transmigrated to this world.
What could a few thousand years accomplish?
Ordinary people could not even break through to the Great Overarching realm.
Yet he had reached the Seventh Heaven of Sainthood directly!
If this cultivation speed spread, it would be enough to shock countless immortals. Even Sages would be horrified and unable to believe it!
"I wonder if Guangchengzi has returned."
Primordial Lord spoke slowly.
He had previously sent Guangchengzi to assist Xuandu. Judging by the time, he should have returned by now.
Just as he expected, Guangchengzi's voice came from outside the Jade Void Palace.
"Disciple requests an audience with Master!"
After receiving Primordial Lord's permission, Guangchengzi respectfully entered the Jade Void Palace. When he saw his Master, his gaze froze, and his pupils contracted slightly.
Master has grown so much stronger again!
Although he did not know what realm his Master had reached, he knew one thing for certain: compared to before, his Master's aura was countless times denser!
As expected of Master. Increasing his strength was as easy as drinking water.
Suppressing his shock, he said reverently, "Reporting to Master, Nüwa's soul has been recovered."
He recounted everything that had happened after he went to the human race, then said, "Although I did not discover any trace of the Two Sages of the West while in the Heavenly Court, I feel that this matter is not so simple."
Primordial Lord nodded and said with a smile, "This matter is simple. Haotian must have been ambitious and wanted to claim a share of the Human Emperor's Sage Teacher position, but had never found the opportunity. After the Two Sages of Western Heaven approached him, he thought his chance had come and plotted everything."
"But they did not expect the several of you to join forces. At the same time, something happened in Western Heaven, preventing the Two Sages of Western Heaven from appearing. That is why things turned out as you saw."
He had just performed a divination and discovered that Tongtian was actually in Western Heaven.
He had even blocked the entrance with the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. No wonder the Two Sages of the West had been unable to help the Heavenly Court.
"Thank you for clearing up my confusion, Master."
Guangchengzi spoke respectfully, then left the Jade Void Palace.
Primordial Lord rose from the Twelve-Grade Pure World White Lotus. It was time for him to go out as well.
Now that Nüwa's soul had been recovered and her allotted lifespan had not yet ended, she would certainly be resurrected.
His plans for the Underworld had already been settled. He could take this opportunity to visit Saint Pingxin. As for Western Heaven, it still refused to give up. This time, it had even made use of the Heavenly Court, so he needed to give them a warning as well.
At the same time, Western Heaven.
"Western Heaven is suffering!"
Jieyin's eyes flickered. His already sorrowful features looked even more bitter.
This time, he had allied with the Heavenly Court, originally believing they could successfully seize a Human Emperor Sage Teacher position. At the very least, he had thought Western Heaven would not be dragged into the matter.
Instead, they had encountered that reckless fellow, Tongtian.
He refused to listen to anything and had only one intention: extorting Western Heaven.
All that effort had come to nothing!
"Senior Brother, don't be too sad. Fortunately, it was only Tongtian who came, and we have already sent him away."
Zhunti watched Tongtian's departing back. Although he hated him, he could only comfort himself this way.
At least this time was not like the last. They had not only lost their physical bodies but had also paid six Innate Spiritual Roots.
"Junior Brother, who knows when our Western Heaven will finally prosper?"
Jieyin's face was filled with sorrow, and his expression was weighed down by worry.
Before Zhunti could comfort him,
a figure suddenly sped over from the east.
Zhunti's originally dim expression instantly filled with terror when he recognized the figure.
He hurriedly said to Jieyin, "Senior Brother, Primordial Lord is here. Let's go over at once. We absolutely cannot let Primordial Lord approach Western Heaven!"
The two of them then hurried toward Primordial Lord.
When they reached him, their gazes immediately froze.
Primordial Lord's strength had actually increased again!
He must have refined our Western Heaven's spiritual roots!
The two remembered the scene of Primordial Lord extorting them before, and their hearts ached.
Those were all spiritual roots belonging to our Western Heaven!
We could not bear to refine them ourselves, yet they had benefited Primordial Lord. We have truly suffered!
Recalling Primordial Lord's previous thuggish conduct, Jieyin spoke with a resolute expression before Primordial Lord could say anything. "Our Western Heaven truly has nothing left. Please, Senior Brother Primordial Lord, don't go to Western Heaven. Whatever you have to say, we can make it clear here!"
???
Primordial Lord looked strangely at Zhunti and Jieyin.
Could these two have been frightened senseless by Tongtian?
He had not even said anything yet.
Primordial Lord could not help laughing. Looking at Zhunti and Jieyin, he said, "I came today only to warn the two of you to be more careful in the future. As for meddling in the third Human Emperor Sage Teacher position, my third brother did not hold it against you because he was magnanimous."
"If you dare cross the line again, then it will not be something that can be resolved with a few spiritual roots or treasures!"
Primordial Lord's voice was cold and imposing as he directly warned the Two Sages of the West.
Zhunti and Jieyin nodded repeatedly without resisting at all.
Damn Tongtian. Now Primordial Lord has come too. Could they be treating Western Heaven as their own backyard?
Although they were furious inside, they did not say anything.
The most important thing now was to send this plague god away.
Primordial Lord said no more. He still had more important matters to attend to, so he went directly to the Underworld.
