If the three of them, the Qiongxiao sisters, were to encounter this tribulation, they wouldn't even have the strength to resist, and would only dissipate into the heavens and earth under the might of heaven.

Now, a mortal who seemed to have no cultivation had easily resolved this heavenly tribulation!

"Sister, could it be that this person is the one we've been searching for, the one who truly broke free from the Heavenly Dao's control?"

Qiongxiao took a deep breath, looked at Yunxiao and Bixiao, and asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao and Bixiao, who had been indifferent, fell silent and began to ponder.

At this moment, their hearts began to waver. Could it be that the storyteller Su Yang from Qingshan City was indeed the existence that had escaped the Heavenly Dao?

Could he be the "one" that escaped from the fifty, as told in the legends of the Primordial World?

The world knew that the Heavenly Dao had forty-nine aspects, with only one missing.

But the great powers knew in their hearts that the Heavenly Dao was originally complete.

It was only after that "one" escaped from its control that the Heavenly Dao became incomplete.

Now, watching Su Yang easily resolve the Zixiao Divine Thunder, the three sisters were filled with doubt.

Could it be that the "one" that escaped, whom they had been searching for, was the storyteller Su Yang from Qingshan City?

A flicker of disbelief crossed the eyes of the three sisters. If Su Yang was truly that "one" that escaped, then in the not-too-distant future, the many great powers in the entire Primordial World would likely be shocked by his appearance!

Even the entire Primordial World might be thrown into turmoil because of it.

Years ago, before the Dragon-Han Calamity erupted, the Dao Ancestor had said that once the "one" that escaped returned, it would be a time of turmoil for the Primordial World!

"If he is truly that 'one' that escaped, we must ensure his safety."

Yunxiao took a deep breath and said slowly, "To rescue Master from Zixiao Palace, we can only rely on that 'one' that escaped to have even a sliver of hope."

As soon as she said this, Bixiao and Qiongxiao nodded gently, their gazes falling upon the scene, their expressions complex, and their thoughts churning.

But even for the "one" that escaped, rescuing Sect Master Tongtian from that person would likely not be easy.

After all, that person had long since merged with the Heavenly Dao, and in this Primordial World, he was the supreme "Heaven"!

Deep within the chaos, Primordial Lord of Heaven was returning to his dojo when he suddenly stopped. He gazed at the scene unfolding in the Qingshan City inn, his expression filled with shock.

He had originally thought that when the heavenly punishment descended and the Zixiao Divine Thunder appeared, Su Yang would surely die.

He never expected that the person before him would so easily resolve the Zixiao Divine Thunder and pass through the heavenly punishment with such ease!

How was this achieved?

That was heavenly punishment, after all! And someone could resolve it so easily? Someone could withstand the wrath of the Heavenly Dao!?

Coupled with his previous deduction of heavenly secrets, which revealed chaos in the heavenly mechanisms, Primordial Lord of Heaven's expression became extremely solemn as he looked at Su Yang's figure.

Although Su Yang showed no fluctuations in cultivation on the surface, the casual manner in which he broke through the heavenly punishment was enough to make Primordial Lord of Heaven wary.

At this moment, the same guess as the three sisters of the Jie Teachings appeared in his mind.

"Could it be that this Su Yang is the legendary 'one' that escaped, the one who caused the Heavenly Dao's forty-nine aspects to be incomplete?"

A hint of shock flashed in Primordial Lord of Heaven's eyes, but he still couldn't be sure if this guess was true.

He let out a soft breath and muttered, "Never mind, even if he is that 'one' that escaped, so what?

Can he still reverse the great trend of the Primordial World that has long been set?"

Within the chaos, in Zixiao Palace.

Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had merged with the Heavenly Dao and was devoid of desires, had a look of disbelief in his eyes when he saw Su Yang so easily resolve the heavenly punishment.

And Sect Master Tongtian, sitting before Hongjun, was equally shocked.

What kind of power was this? Speaking and it becomes reality?

This was impossible! Because speaking and it becomes reality could only be achieved by Sages, and they had to rely on the power of the Heavenly Dao to do so.

How could this Su Yang wield the power of the Heavenly Dao? Hadn't he angered the Heavenly Dao, brought down heavenly punishment, and even triggered such a supreme heavenly tribulation as the Zixiao Divine Thunder?

Su Yang's expression was calm, and with a single word, he easily dissolved the power of the heavenly punishment!

Such heaven-defying power left Sect Master Tongtian deeply shaken!

Even at his peak, he probably wouldn't be any better than this.

Just as the two were in shock, a wave of energy fluctuations suddenly came from outside Zixiao Palace.

"Disciple Zhunti, Jieyin, request an audience with Teacher."

As soon as the voices fell, Hongjun couldn't help but take a gentle breath and slowly closed his eyes.

At the same time, the great doors of Zixiao Palace slowly opened.

When Sect Master Tongtian heard that the visitors were Zhunti and Jieyin, a look of displeasure immediately appeared on his face.

His brows also furrowed, clearly showing that he had no good feelings for these two Sages.

In Sect Master Tongtian's eyes, their current status was entirely due to their thick skin.

Among the six Sages, he looked down upon the Two Sages of the West, Zhunti and Jieyin, the most.

The reason he was imprisoned in Zixiao Palace and lost his freedom back then was that the Two Sages of the West played a crucial role.

If they hadn't joined forces with Primordial Lord of Heaven and Grand Pure Laozi to make a move, Sect Master Tongtian was certain that the Zhuxian Sword Formation could never have been broken by those few!

At this thought, he simply closed his eyes, too lazy to even glance at the two of them.

Zhunti and Jieyin stepped into the palace and saw Hongjun and Sect Master Tongtian standing before them.

The two took a deep breath and then bowed to Hongjun, saying, "Greetings, Teacher."

Hongjun's expression was as usual, without any fluctuation.

Seeing that Hongjun did not respond, the two bowed to Sect Master Tongtian again and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Tongtian."

The Three Pure Ones were direct disciples of Hongjun. Grand Pure Laozi was the eldest son, Primordial Lord of Heaven was the second son, and Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure, Sect Master Tongtian, was the third.

As for the fourth disciple, it should have been Empress Nuwa.

However, in the eyes of the Two Sages of the West, calling the Three Pure Ones senior brothers was acceptable, as they came from Pangu's Orthodox Lineage.

But to call Nuwa senior sister felt rather embarrassing, so the two shamelessly changed their address and called Nuwa "junior sister."

They were clearly mere registered disciples, yet they dared to invert the order of seniority like this.

"Hmph!"

Sect Master Tongtian snorted coldly upon hearing them speak, full of disdain.

He had always disliked Zhunti and Jieyin.

Back then, among the three thousand Mortal World Guests in Zixiao Palace, these two were not only late, but they even cried on the spot, forcing Hongyun to give up his seat.

After settling down, they spoke harshly to Kunpeng and drove him away.

This action made Sect Master Tongtian detest them immensely.

Fortunately, at this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun opened his eyes and glanced at the two.

Seeing this, Zhunti and Jieyin immediately bowed and then said, "Teacher, we are here today because we have some questions we wish to ask you."

Hongjun naturally understood the intentions of Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin, and slowly said, "I already know what you are here for."

"It's just that the heavenly secrets are in chaos, and the Heavenly Dao is in turmoil. Even I find it difficult to deduce whether the West will still prosper as destined in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti and Jieyin were both stunned, a hint of surprise appearing on their faces.

Even the Dao Ancestor could not determine if the West would continue to prosper according to destiny; this fact was truly unexpected.

Their expressions became slightly solemn. If even Hongjun couldn't make a decision, then things were truly troublesome!
