Di Jun's divine soul trembled, his face filled with panic:

"How could anyone in this world be so extravagant?"

Just as all beings marveled.

Lu Changsheng slowly stepped out of the imperial carriage.

Clad in a white scholar's robe, he exuded an air of refined elegance and gentle warmth.

He revealed a warm smile, looked at Hongjun, who was frowning not far away, and calmly performed a peer-to-peer greeting:

"I am Lu Changsheng, master of Wuji Heaven. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Hongjun!"

As soon as the words fell.

The entire audience erupted in an uproar.

"This is the Lord of Wuji Heaven, Immortal Venerable Changsheng!"

"Finally, we get to see the true face of the legendary Immortal Venerable Changsheng!"

Thousands of years had passed.

Although countless cultivators had set foot in Wuji Heaven.

Yet the Primordial World was vast.

Many beings with slightly inferior cultivation or those who were observing from the sidelines had still not personally seen Immortal Venerable Changsheng.

However, with the frequent celestial phenomena and Saints carving out the heavens and earth, The names of Wuji Heaven and Immortal Venerable Changsheng had long since spread among the billions of living beings in the Primordial World.

To see his true face today.

One realized that Immortal Venerable Changsheng's reputation was well-deserved.

"As expected of Immortal Venerable Changsheng of Wuji Heaven!

Such presence, not inferior to a Saint in the slightest!"

Within the territories of the Witch and Demon Clans.

Billions of living beings looked up at the white-robed figure in the highest heavens.

Although many had gone to Wuji Heaven to exchange for Merit, not everyone had the chance to see Lu Changsheng's true face.

Most beings dealt with East King Duke and his ilk for exchanges.

This was because the Primordial World was vast, and the living beings were endless.

Moreover, many were low-level cultivators who could only exchange for meager Merit.

Although Lu Changsheng did not look down on them, he also did not wish to overlook them.

Therefore, he dispatched East King Duke to lead a million guards to receive ordinary cultivators.

Only the Great Powers of the Primordial World were granted an audience with the Immortal Venerable himself.

Thus, when Lu Changsheng appeared.

Most beings were seeing the Immortal Venerable's true face for the first time.

At this moment, within the dojo of the Six Sages.

As Lu Changsheng made his majestic entrance, the Six Sages all focused their divine senses on him.

Inside Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island.

Sect Master Tongtian gazed at Lu Changsheng's arrival, frowning in thought:

"Why has Fellow Daoist Changsheng appeared at this moment? Could it be that he also intends to obstruct the war between the Witches and Demons?"

The other five Saints held the same thought.

After all, since the creation of the Great Thousand World, the alteration of the Primordial World's order, and the perfection of the heavenly laws, The Six Sages had developed a different understanding of Lu Changsheng.

They believed that Lu Changsheng must be plotting something that could shake the foundations of the Primordial World.

Therefore, his intervention in the conflict between the Witch and Demon clans.

Was not entirely unexpected.

At this moment, Hongjun also stared intently at Lu Changsheng.

He unscrupulously scanned the other party with his divine sense, attempting to see through his true nature.

"As expected, unfathomable. Apart from his Dao realm level, I cannot see through anything else!"

Seeing such a mysterious existence for the first time, layers of doubt surged in Hongjun's heart.

Sensing Hongjun's undisguised divine sense probe, Lu Changsheng smiled faintly.

He shook his head and said:

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, are you perhaps underestimating me, thinking my cultivation is inferior to yours?"

"Why are you peeking so presumptuously?"

In the Primordial World, when peers meet, probing each other with divine sense is a major taboo. This action is not only rude but also carries a provocative intent.

Hongjun heard this, his expression unchanged: "Fellow Daoist, you are so unfathomable, what's wrong with a little probing?"

Although Hongjun knew that Lu Changsheng was protected by the Heavenly Dao and could not be harmed in the slightest, since he hadn't made a move and harbored no killing intent, why should he be concerned?

Moreover, as the Dao Ancestor, did he still need to be wary of a mere Quasi-Saint? Even if a Quasi-Saint's fortune was profound, so what? If I don't attack you, and I don't have killing intent, what can you do?

A faint, disdainful smile touched Hongjun's lips. A mere Quasi-Saint, hardly worth mentioning.

Lu Changsheng saw Hongjun's calm demeanor, even a hint of arrogance, and the smile on his face deepened. With a thought, boundless golden light of Merit suddenly surged behind him, illuminating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and permeating the universe.

For a moment, all the beings present were awestruck by the brilliant golden light, almost unable to open their eyes. Who was manifesting such power? The light was so dazzling!

Even Hongjun, witnessing this vast golden light, could not help but be moved, raising his sleeve to shield his eyes. At this very moment, Lu Changsheng spoke loudly: "Heavenly Dao, I have been insulted!"

Accompanied by the golden light filling the sky, his clear shout resonated through the void. All the beings present were stunned. They couldn't understand what Lu Changsheng was doing.

In the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao was supreme, and all beings revered it. However, the Heavenly Dao had never truly manifested before. Let alone calling out to the Heavenly Dao so directly. Would the Heavenly Dao respond if he called out to it? It was simply absurd. Could he possibly be the Child of the Heavenly Dao?

Just as doubt filled the minds of all beings, the firmament trembled, and strange phenomena appeared, supreme Dao rhythm flowed through the void. A pressure of supreme authority descended with a roar. The sky suddenly split open with a gap, releasing endless majesty. In the next moment, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment appeared. All beings were shocked. The Heavenly Dao actually responded? Could Immortal Venerable Changsheng truly be the Child of the Heavenly Dao? Hongjun was also stunned when he witnessed this scene.

Before he could react, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment had instantly locked onto him.

A terrifying aura condensed, Hongjun's scalp went numb, and an extreme sense of danger rose in his heart.

What was the Heavenly Dao trying to do?

Don't come over!

A deafening roar shook heaven and earth.

Outside the Primordial World, nine bolts of world-destroying divine lightning, carrying the might to destroy worlds, struck down with a roar, aimed directly at Hongjun.

Hongjun's Dao heart trembled violently, filled with horror.

Saintly might surged, fully resisting the divine lightning.

"Rumble--"

After a series of world-shattering tremors, Hongjun trembled all over, his Daoist Robe scorched and tattered.

The Great Powers of the Primordial World were all shocked to see this scene.

Those were world-destroying divine lightning, and the Dao Ancestor could actually take them head-on.

If it were them, they would have long since been annihilated.

But Hongjun was not faring well either, clearly having suffered a hidden loss.

He looked at Lu Changsheng with disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

"Did the Eye of Heavenly Punishment truly appear because of him?"

At this moment, the Twelve Ancestor Witches, Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others were completely stunned.

Hongjun was the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao!

He was struck by the Heavenly Dao just because of Immortal Venerable Changsheng's words?

Even the Eye of Heavenly Punishment descended?

Di Jun's eyes were filled with horror as he said:

"Since the separation of chaos, this Eye of Heavenly Judgment has only appeared once!"

The Eye of Heavenly Judgment only appears in the world when the Heavenly Dao bestows punishment.

When it manifests, even Saints must be filled with awe.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi, witnessing the might of the Eye of Heavenly Judgment, also felt his heart tremble.

"Such a supreme Eye of Heavenly Judgment actually appeared because of a single word from Immortal Venerable Changsheng.

What exactly is the origin of this Immortal Venerable Changsheng?"

Dijiang recalled a rumor about Lu Changsheng at this moment.

His eyes filled with shock, he whispered:

"This is no mere Child of the Heavenly Dao!

He is clearly the Father of the Heavenly Dao!"

Zhurong also gazed at the Eye of Heavenly Judgment beside him, sighing with emotion.

It's undeniable! It's completely confirmed!

The Heavenly Dao's obedient posture, appearing whenever summoned.

It's clearly Immortal Venerable Changsheng's good son!

Hongjun looked at his disheveled appearance, his heart filled with unceasing fear.

How outrageous!

I am the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao!

Why is this Heavenly Dao striking an ally upon appearing?

Are these giant eyes just for show?

Although his heart was in turmoil, Hongjun did not dare to show any of it to the Heavenly Dao.

As for facing Lu Changsheng, he was even more terrified.

With a sigh in his heart, Hongjun turned his gaze to Lu Changsheng.

He pondered with increasing vigilance in his heart:

"Who exactly is this person?"

Just as Hongjun's gaze flickered with suspicion and uncertainty, Lu Changsheng provocatively addressed Hongjun:

"What are you looking at? Aren't you convinced? If you're not, then come and fight!"

Upon hearing that Lu Changsheng dared to speak to the Dao Ancestor of the Xuanmen, the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, and the Teacher of the Saints, Hongjun, East King Duke and Kunpeng were immediately so terrified that their souls scattered.

This was the honored Dao Ancestor.

The supreme existence beneath the Heavenly Dao.

How could Master dare to be so presumptuous and provocative?

Was he seeking his own death?

In the eyes of all beings in the Primordial World, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was the supreme Saint second only to the Heavenly Dao in the world.

To provoke such a terrifying existence

was simply courting disaster!

Witnessing Lu Changsheng's actions, Di Jun was instantly stunned and froze on the spot.

In the entire Primordial World, since Hongjun began preaching the Dao, Lu Changsheng was the very first person to dare to speak to Hongjun in such a manner since the creation of the world!

After a long period of shock, Di Jun finally murmured:

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, has he no regard for his own life?"

At this moment, Dijiang was also extremely astonished by Lu Changsheng's courage.

Even though the Witch Clan had always disrespected heaven and earth and feared no Saints, they were not foolish.

They would never provoke such an existence unless absolutely necessary.

However, while they were unwilling to offend easily, for someone like Lu Changsheng, who dared to directly provoke even Hongjun, the Witch Clan couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng's courage is truly unmatched in the Primordial World!"

Dijiang exclaimed sincerely.

It was no wonder all the Great Powers were so shocked.

After all, Hongjun was the Dao Ancestor, the first Saint in the Primordial World!

All beings witnessed this scene and sighed:

"Arrogant! How incredibly arrogant! I have never seen such a defiant person!"

Seeing Lu Changsheng's demeanor, Hongjun was naturally quite displeased.

But the Heavenly Dao not only protected him, but even helped him strike his own side.

No matter how dissatisfied he was, Hongjun could only accept it.

He sighed, his face tense, and said in a deep voice:

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, I was rude earlier. I hope you can forgive me."

Seeing Hongjun bow his head and admit his mistake, all the onlookers were shocked.

The foremost Saint of the Primordial World actually bowed to a peak Quasi-Saint?

How could such a thing happen in the Primordial World?

Who exactly was this Immortal Venerable Changsheng?

Just as the cultivators were surprised by Lu Changsheng's identity, the Twelve Ancestor Witches were also deeply shaken.

However, besides the shock, they mostly felt that Lu Changsheng had spoken up for them.

Instantly, a sense of closeness was added to their gazes as they looked at Lu Changsheng.

Seeing Hongjun back down, Lu Changsheng smiled in satisfaction and said:

"Isn't that better? Isn't it much nicer to be amicable with each other?

Why must we be so confrontational?"

Hearing Lu Changsheng's words, everyone fell silent.

Even the Dao Ancestor had been struck by heavenly lightning and reduced to such a state; who would dare to be unfriendly?

In the silence, Dijiang was the first to speak, asking:

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, have you come here to help those feathered beasts of the Demon Clan?"

To the Witch Clan, Hongjun had appeared twice to stop them just as they were about to break through the Heavenly Court, clearly showing favoritism towards the Demon Clan.

This was why he asked the question.

Lu Changsheng naturally understood the reason behind it, so he replied with a smile:

"This Venerable one has come neither to help nor hinder anyone."
