Here It Comes-the Big One

Seeing that Nuwa had also smoothly taken a cushion representing the opportunity to become a Sage,

Zhou Qingqing naturally no longer cared.

She was now completely in the mood to watch a show.

Now that Lady Nuwa had taken her seat, was it finally time for the unlucky fool to make an appearance?

An unlucky fool?

The Three Pure Ones were all stunned when they heard Zhou Qingqing's words.

They had noticed it as well.

Anyone who could catch their disciple's attention was bound to possess immense fortune and great opportunities—or be someone truly capable of sitting upon a Sage Meditation Cushion.

But if they could sit upon a Sage Meditation Cushion, that meant they should have great opportunities just like them.

Then why would they be called unlucky fools?

The Three Pure Ones could not understand their disciple's words and could only quietly wait for events to unfold.

Next, Zhen Yuanzi should help Red Cloud take a Sage Meditation Cushion. Let me see where these two are.

Found them.

Red clothes, red robes, red hair—this should be Red Cloud.

The one beside him, giving off a composed aura, should be Zhen Yuanzi. The one radiating yellow light should be his companion spiritual treasure, the Earth Book, right?

Listening to Zhou Qingqing's description,

Upper Pure Tongtian swept out with his divine sense and indeed discovered Red Cloud Ancestor, clad in a red Daoist robe and exuding an utterly harmless aura.

He also saw Great Immortal Zhenyuan of Five Manor Temple on Mount Longevity.

Sure enough, Zhen Yuanzi and Red Cloud had already hit it off at this time and become close friends. Although the Earth Book could not compare to Eldest Master's Heaven-and-Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda, it was still the strongest defensive treasure among Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

With his help, it was no surprise that Red Cloud could take one of those cushions.

The instant Zhou Qingqing finished speaking,

Tongtian saw Red Cloud Ancestor indeed take one of the cushions. Compared to the many great powers present, he had done so with remarkable ease.

And Zhen Yuanzi, who had helped him onto the cushion, had actually made the same choice as Fuxi, not competing for the final cushion.

No sooner said than done.

Just as the cultivators were preparing to fight over the final cushion, a black figure instantly took a seat, claiming the last cushion and settling down completely.

Tsk, tsk. As expected of one of the fastest beings in the Primordial World. I barely even saw him, and he had crossed space to arrive directly.

At this speed, you must have trained for more than two and a half yuanhui, Kunpeng.

Jade Pure Yuanshi glanced at Kunpeng, who had taken the final seat.

Kunpeng's speed was indeed exceptionally fast. The remaining great powers in Purple Cloud Palace had not even reacted before he overtook them and seized the cushion.

However,

he did not understand why Zhou Qingqing had mentioned two and a half yuanhui.

One had to know,

that breaking through the limits of speed at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm could never have taken merely two and a half yuanhui. It required a far longer time.

No matter how he pondered it, he could not figure out the connection between speed and two and a half yuanhui.

During the time he was thinking, the other cultivators in Purple Cloud Palace saw that the cushions had already been divided up, so they could only take seats on some of the cushions farther back and refrain from making any more moves.

After all,

they did believe that the cushions beneath the nine-tiered Cloud Platform were an opportunity.

But they did not actually know just how great that opportunity was. Now that they had all been claimed, there was no need to go to such lengths over them.

Sigh, you really have no eye for this. If you had known this was an opportunity to become Sages, you would have fought for them even at the risk of your lives.

Zhou Qingqing was now enjoying the spectacle and hoping for more chaos.

Seeing that the cultivators in Purple Cloud Palace had stopped fighting, she knew the matter had come to an end.

No wonder your achievements are so limited. Just watch—soon, a cultivator will show you the proper way to seize Sage Meditation Cushions.

As Zhou Qingqing's thoughts turned, she saw Haotian and Yaochi, who stood outside the doors, usher two Daoists inside.

The two cultivators were travel-worn and dressed in tattered clothes. Clearly, they had encountered a calamity after entering Chaos, which was why they looked so bedraggled.

They're here, they're here—the big one is finally here. I heard long ago that after the Two Sages of the West seized Sage Meditation Cushions in Purple Cloud Palace, they would put on a spectacular performance in fighting over the cushions.

Was it about to begin now?

Zhou Qingqing was extremely expectant.

She had long known that the two from the West were a shameless pair, but she had never known exactly how shameless they were.

Now that she could witness it with her own eyes, it would finally fulfill one of her wishes.

The Two Sages of the West.

The Three Pure Ones were all stirred as they listened to Zhou Qingqing's inner voice.

If nothing unexpected happened,

these should be the two great powers from the West whom Zhou Qingqing had mentioned before. Since she called them the Two Sages, they should also be able to sit upon these cushions.

But every cushion was already occupied.

How were these two Western cultivators supposed to claim them?

The Three Pure Ones' interest had now been completely stirred up by Zhou Qingqing.

Though they appeared to still have their eyes closed in meditation, they had actually long since shifted all their attention to the Western pair.

They saw that, among the pair, the cultivator with the sorrowful expression and more tattered clothes spotted them sitting beneath the nine-tiered Cloud Platform the instant he entered Purple Cloud Palace.

In merely a few breaths,

they saw this Daoist suddenly appear before Red Cloud.

His knees bent, and he dropped to the ground. Then he burst into violent sobs and began banging his head against the floor.

"Tragic! Truly tragic!"

"My senior brother and I crossed mountains and rivers, enduring countless hardships, and only with great difficulty arrived at Purple Cloud Palace. Yet we do not even have a good seat from which to hear the Dao..."

???

The Three Pure Ones stared blankly at the Daoist's performance before them.

They had already heard from Zhou Qingqing's inner voice that something outrageous would happen, and they had long prepared themselves mentally.

Yet Daoist Zhunti's performance still completely exceeded their expectations.

It was not just the Three Pure Ones.

Every cultivator in Purple Cloud Palace had widened their eyes.

They were all noble innate gods and demons of the Primordial World, with dignity of their own. If they could not win a cushion, then they would honestly sit in the back.

But this Daoist Zhunti, who had just arrived, displayed none of the bearing of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and simply clutched his head and wailed.

He did not even use magic power to conceal his appearance, leaving his Daoist robe in its damaged state.

He had no shame at all.

And this wailing, with snot and tears pouring down his face, truly looked as though it came from the depths of his heart—grief that he could not hear the Dao.

Even the Three Pure Ones felt that Daoist Zhunti genuinely possessed a fervent heart in seeking the Dao, and they could not help feeling a trace of admiration and sympathy.
