Primordial World

Anlan, no matter how strong he was, was at most at the peak of the Quasi-Sage realm, still a step away from a true Sage.

In the Underworld, within the Hall of Reincarnation.

As Anlan and Great Emperor Wushi departed, a hint of confusion and dissatisfaction appeared on Houtu's face.

"These two... Great Emperor Wushi is mysterious and unfathomable, his strength seems even greater than that Immortal King Anlan.

And Anlan just now fought alone against a Quasi-Sage and a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and even withstood Heavenly Punishment. His strength is also not to be underestimated."

Houtu took a deep breath and thought to herself, "It seems that Anlan is at least a powerful expert at the Quasi-Sage realm, right?"

"Why is that Great Emperor Wushi's physical body so resilient? Even a divine fire like One Flavor True Fire couldn't leave even the slightest trace on him."

Although One Flavor True Fire is a branch of Samadhi True Fire, it is by no means ordinary. Even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal would have difficulty emerging unscathed from it.

In the Primordial World, those who can resist One Flavor True Fire solely with their physical strength are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

The toughness of Great Emperor Wushi's physical body caused ripples in Houtu's heart. "Could it be that within Great Emperor Wushi, the bloodline of my Witch Clan flows? Besides the Witch Clan, how could anyone else in the world possess such a powerful physique?"

In Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhenyuanzi sat cross-legged in the main hall, with heaven on one side and earth on the other before him.

This place was unlike ordinary Daoist temples; there were no statues of the Three Pure Ones enshrined within.

He and the Three Pure Ones were peers, and he had even discussed the Dao with Grand Pure Laozi many times. If he were to erect statues of the Three Pure Ones, it would seem like he was lowering his own status.

"He's truly an extraordinary young man. I wonder where he found such mysterious experts."

Zhenyuanzi mused to himself. He was born at the beginning of the Primordial World, yet he had never heard of Anlan and Great Emperor Wushi.

But the strength of their combat power was not inferior to the Quasi-Sages of the Primordial World! Such individuals were by no means ordinary.

Zhenyuanzi already had a guess in his heart—they likely did not originate from the Primordial World but came from other worlds, or perhaps even from alien heavens born in the chaos.

The chaos is boundless, how could it only contain the Primordial World?

"I just don't know by what means that young man brought them into the Primordial World?"

In the Heavenly Court, at the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

The Jade Emperor watched the receding figures of Great Emperor Wushi and Anlan, feeling a slight sense of relief.

His gaze fell upon the image of Qingshan City reflected in the Haotian Mirror, and he remained silent for a long time.

"Great Heavenly Venerate."

Taibai Jinxing stepped forward and said with a bow, "The matter is concluded."

The Jade Emperor exhaled lightly and beckoned, and the Haotian Mirror merged into his body. This mirror is a supreme treasure for severing the three corpses and has always been nurtured by him personally.

"All of you, express your opinions and discuss your views on Great Emperor Wushi and Anlan."

As soon as he said this, the expressions of the gods in the hall varied, showing deep thought.

And just at this moment, news came from the Tongming Hall that the Jade Rabbit had emerged from seclusion, her cultivation having reached the True Immortal realm!

"Please inform Great Heavenly Venerate, the Jade Rabbit wishes to borrow the South Heaven Gate to travel to the Earthly Immortal Realm."

The Jade Rabbit looked at the divine official in the Tongming Hall and spoke slowly.

After hearing this, the divine official turned and left. The Jade Rabbit, after adapting to her newfound strength, had a smile appear on her lips.

"This deal is a sure win, no matter how you look at it."

The divine official entered the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and bowed to the Jade Emperor.

"Great Heavenly Venerate, the Jade Rabbit requests that the South Heaven Gate be opened for her to travel to the Earthly Immortal Realm."

The Jade Emperor heard this and inhaled slightly, his heart stirred.

Previously, the Jade Rabbit had reported that the Seventh Princess had appeared in the Qingshan City area.

Now, the Jade Emperor was worried that if the Seventh Princess were to interact with that storyteller Su Yang in the inn, the Jade Rabbit alone might not be able to handle it.

So he asked, "Is the Great God of the Three Altars present?"

As the words fell, Nezha, who was in the crowd, frowned slightly but still stepped forward.

Now serving in the Heavenly Court, even if he was unwilling, he could not openly defy the Jade Emperor's command.

Nezha stepped forward and asked, "May I know what instructions Great Heavenly Venerate has?"

The Jade Emperor said slowly, "You will accompany the Jade Rabbit to the Earthly Immortal Realm. Specific matters will be explained by her."

Nezha pondered for a moment before finally cupping his hands and agreeing, "As you command."

Nezha turned and walked out of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Among the crowd, his father, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, looked somewhat solemn.

Inside the inn, the gazes directed at Su Yang were no longer the same.

He was no longer just a storyteller, but more like a supreme being.

Who else could resolve a Heavenly Tribulation with just a single sentence?

Su Yang did!

Facing provocation from a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, who could calmly handle it and even invite someone to subdue them?

Su Yang easily managed it.

Even the Grand Unity Golden Immortal's close friend, a Quasi-Sage powerhouse, was easily dealt with by Great Emperor Wushi, whom Su Yang had invited.

Everyone now understood that Su Yang was no ordinary person.

Seeing that the matter had come to an end and Su Yang was safe, Changxi inexplicably felt a sense of relief.

It was as if a heavy stone weighing on her heart had finally landed.

Xi He noticed Changxi's expression, glanced at her, and then sighed softly with a look of helplessness.

She vaguely felt that if Changxi were to continue coming here frequently to listen to Su Yang lecture, it wouldn't be long before she was completely captivated by him.

The Third Holy Mother looked at Su Yang, a hint of curiosity appearing in her eyes.

He clearly looked like a mortal, so why could he attract so many powerful figures to appear?

Immortal King Anlan, and later Great Emperor Wushi, were both top figures in the Primordial World.

Yet, they were willing to act for Su Yang, even at the risk of opposing the Heavenly Dao.

And that Immortal King Anlan, just like Su Yang, showed no reverence for the Heavenly Dao.

He spoke wild words like "slay all Immortal Kings and destroy the nine heavens," and even uttered astonishing phrases like "I want the heavens to have me, and if I don't, the heavens won't have them!"

Compared to what Su Yang had said when he previously provoked the Heavenly Dao, this was simply reaching the peak of arrogance.

But even so, that Immortal King Anlan remained unharmed. After resolving the trouble, he gracefully departed, his whereabouts unknown.

The Third Holy Mother looked at Su Yang, and questions arose in her heart: what kind of person was he?

It wasn't just her; many other Immortals present were also watching Su Yang, their eyes filled with inquiry and surprise.

The Demon Kings from the Demon Clan, at this moment, had even more fervent gazes, as if they saw hope.

If they could gain this person's assistance, perhaps the Demon Clan could regain its glory and even hope to recreate the prosperous era of the Witch-Demon Era!

But then they immediately thought, Su Yang was from the Human Race, so how could he be willing to help the Demon Clan rise?

Nuwa looked at Su Yang's calm and composed demeanor and nodded slightly, feeling quite appreciative in her heart.

"This young man hides many secrets, but it's alright. I will uncover them one by one sooner or later."

"By then, I'll see how many more unknown things you're hiding."

Nuwa recalled the appearance of Immortal King Anlan earlier, and then thought of Great Emperor Wushi, her interest in Su Yang grew even more.

She even considered taking him back to Wa Huang Palace, but Nuwa immediately realized that this was not realistic.

At this moment, countless powerful beings in the Three Realms were staring at this inn in Qingshan City, secretly observing everything that was happening here.

If she were to truly take Su Yang away, even if she didn't fear others, the one in Zixiao Palace would personally come to question her.

That would make things troublesome.

Although Nuwa didn't care about others' opinions and wasn't afraid of the pressure from other Sages, the one in Zixiao Palace was, after all, her master, and she still needed to maintain a certain level of respect.

The inn fell silent. Black Emperor stared at Su Yang, a flicker of doubt in his eyes.
