Let You Loot Their Home, and You Really Move the Immortal Court

Second Master, the stage is set. Let's hurry up and defeat Eastern Duke, then we can loot his home and fleece him.

Eastern Duke dared to scheme against us Three Pure Ones today. Tomorrow, he'll dare to go to Eastern Kunlun and extract the ancestral vein.

Although we cannot kill Eastern Duke for now out of respect for Dao Ancestor Hongjun, we must teach him a harsh lesson.

Zhou Qingqing clenched her fist fiercely in her heart and spoke viciously.

Jade Pure Yuanshi heard his disciple's inner thoughts and deeply agreed. His already imposing expression darkened further.

Eastern Duke truly had not expected Supreme Pure Laozi to make a move and directly break one of his greatest trump cards.

He had intended to use the innate Three Talents Formation to gather the power of the three immortal islands and suppress Jade Pure Yuanshi, who had offended him. Now, that hope had been shattered.

Fortunately, apart from using the Taiji Gourd to block his innate Three Talents Formation, Supreme Pure Laozi made no further moves. Upper Pure Tongtian, who had once humiliated him, merely stood with his sleeves hanging at his sides, admiring the scenery without any intention of acting.

Clearly,

these two brothers among the Three Pure Ones had no intention of truly helping.

"Truly arrogant."

"So what if the innate Three Talents Formation cannot be used?"

"The moment you let me make a move was your mistake."

"Yuanshi, though you are Tongtian's elder brother, you do not possess Tongtian's combat strength. Let me take you down."

Wow, Eastern Duke still remembered to drive a wedge between my two masters while fighting. Isn't everyone already aware that Third Master is stronger than Second Master in battle? Why did he have to say it out loud?

Upper Pure Tongtian leisurely admired the scenery outside the battlefield.

Being suddenly called out by both Eastern Duke and his own disciple was truly more than he could bear.

"Second Brother, you know that sword cultivators naturally have somewhat greater combat strength. My killing power is stronger, but Second Brother's Dao arts are stronger."

Tongtian hurriedly offered his elder brother a few compliments.

It would have been nothing if Eastern Duke had merely said a few words, but then his own disciple had poured oil on the fire. Who could endure that?

He was no longer in the mood to admire the scenery. He could only hope Zhou Qingqing would complain about something nice in her heart and not touch this taboo subject for no reason.

Otherwise, he would have to patch things up himself again.

Wasn't that exhausting?

Jade Pure Yuanshi would naturally not have his state of mind shaken by such a minor disturbance.

However,

what Eastern Duke said was simply wrong.

"You have seen my third brother act and know that he is formidable, yet you have never seen me truly act. How can you rashly claim that I am weaker than him?"

Could it be that those seventy-two divine generals who were routed so completely gave you such confidence?

The expression on Jade Pure Yuanshi's face completely returned to calm, neither pleased nor angered.

Zhou Qingqing focused her attention on her Second Master.

She knew that her master was truly going to get serious.

When dealing with the seventy-two divine generals just now, he had mainly relied on spirit treasures. Now, he was finally going to use divine abilities.

Jade Pure Yuanshi proudly raised his head and grabbed at the void with his right hand. Countless wisps of Yuqing Qi immediately emerged from around him once more.

He spread his five fingers into a palm and struck fiercely at Eastern Duke.

Boom!

Zhou Qingqing only felt the void tremble. That Yuqing Qi seemed to transform in an instant into the Jade Void Palace atop their Eastern Kunlun.

The palace surged forward unstoppably, carrying the sensation of tearing apart heaven and earth.

So this is Second Master's divine ability, the Jade Void Heaven-Opening Palm. It uses Yuqing Qi to manifest the Jade Void Palace and assume the momentum of opening heaven. No wonder he would later wield the innate supreme treasure, the Pangu Banner.

Jade Pure Yuanshi's fingers twitched slightly.

He liked hearing that.

Eastern Duke's foundation was shallow. After being granted the title of foremost male immortal under heaven, he had thought himself invincible.

The Three Pure Ones possessed Pangu's inheritance, yet they had never been so arrogant.

Eastern Duke's expression changed drastically.

As soon as the Jade Void Heaven-Opening Palm emerged, it seemed to reenact the scene of Pangu opening heaven. Though it was only a trace of it, the sight alone inspired fear.

Only now

did Eastern Duke finally realize it.

The Three Pure Ones before him truly were not existences he could afford to provoke.

In terms of spirit treasures, he held no advantage whatsoever, even after Dao Ancestor Hongjun had supported him.

As for origins, the others were, after all, transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit.

At the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level alone, the Three Pure Ones stood at the very pinnacle.

He could have made a move to scheme against the Three Pure Ones.

But he should have done so only after consolidating his supreme status as the foremost male immortal under heaven. The Immortal Court had only just been established, and his power had yet to be converted into his own strength.

He had borrowed momentum to stir up trouble.

Yet the Three Pure Ones had responded to all changes with constancy, simply waiting here for him to crash into them.

In that case,

the final outcome could only be a defeat.

Eastern Duke gritted his teeth in secret, now fully understanding why the Three Pure Ones had come to attend the ceremony.

Unfortunately,

he realized it far too late.

In an instant,

the immortals saw Eastern Duke, Pure Yang Sword in hand and Heavenly Dipper Shield above his head, fail to withstand a single Jade Void Heaven-Opening Palm from Jade Pure Yuanshi. Boundless force erupted, sending him flying directly off Penglai Island before he barely managed to stop himself.

Eastern Duke's expression was ugly.

The Heavenly Dipper Shield had neutralized most of the force for him, but the recoil still shook his primordial spirit, making him spit out a mouthful of blood involuntarily.

Jade Pure Yuanshi before him was likewise an opponent he could not confront head-on.

He had miscalculated.

Fortunately, he had ultimately realized this, and the situation had not yet spiraled out of control.

He decisively put away all his spirit treasures and straightforwardly bowed to the Three Pure Ones. "The divine abilities of the Three Pure Ones are indeed powerful. Eastern Duke was discourteous. I was wrong, and I have made a fool of myself before everyone in this Immortal Court."

What a skillful retreat to advance. Eastern Duke knows my three masters will not kill him now, so he simply admits fault and refuses to fuss over temporary gains and losses.

Second Master, don't be fooled. He may have admitted his mistake, but he definitely won't change. He'll dare to do it again next time. We can't accept such a light apology. He must pay a price.

Jade Pure Yuanshi turned his head and did not accept the bow.

"It is enough that you know you were wrong. But mistakes require a price."

Jade Pure Yuanshi suddenly addressed the immortals on the Three Immortal Islands.

"You all heard him as well. Eastern Duke has already admitted his mistake. All cultivators on these islands, leave at once. Otherwise, do not blame me for being discourteous!"

The immortals were slightly stunned, not knowing what scheme Jade Pure Yuanshi was playing.

However, Eastern Duke, the lord of the Immortal Court, had just been blasted off the island and had even bowed to apologize to Jade Pure Yuanshi. It seemed they could only obey Jade Pure Yuanshi's command.

Eastern Duke was equally bewildered.

But he was currently bowing his head and asking forgiveness, so he seemed to have no right to speak. He could only watch as the cultivators on the islands rushed out one after another.

Zhou Qingqing's heart stirred.

Judging by Second Master's manner, he really intends to loot their home—and it looks like he plans to empty out the entire Immortal Court.

Then,

Zhou Qingqing saw Jade Pure Yuanshi wave his sleeve, and another gourd leaped into the air.
