Purple Cloud Palace's Opportunity to Become a Sage, Primordial Powerhouses Team Up for a Raid (Please Bookmark and Recommend)
"Three thousand years was neither long nor short."
"To reach Sage Hongjun's dojo in the Outer Chaos Heavens, Purple Cloud Palace, ahead of time—"
"I should set out immediately and leave a good impression on the Sage."
"I wonder where Senior Brother Jieyin is traveling now?"
"Alas, the Primordial Wilderness is far greater than imagination. Without becoming a Sage, one is ultimately just an ant, destined to turn to ash beneath the great calamity."
Daoist Zhunti gazed at the grand Purple Cloud Palace drifting amid the chaos. His eyes flickered as thoughts raced through his mind.
No one knew how many Innate Saints had fallen in the terrifying, world-destroying bloodshed unleashed by the Dragon-Han Calamity.
Countless Grand Luo Golden Immortals had stained their robes with blood, their souls scattered and their bodies and Dao annihilated, their cultivation of hundreds of millions of years destroyed in a single day.
Even Quasi-Sage powerhouses of the Innate Three Clans had been reduced to ash beneath the shroud of the calamity.
The great calamity of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans, which had lasted countless epochs, had wiped out ninety-nine percent of the Primordial Beings.
The Primordial Continent had been battered beyond recognition, left riddled with holes and utterly ruined. Countless blessed grottos and heavenly paradises had suffered disaster.
At that time, Daoist Zhunti had merely been an untransformed Bodhi Tree with the cultivation of a minor Grand Yi Golden Immortal.
Any random heavenly dragon, true phoenix, or qilin could have dealt with him.
Thus, he had always lived cautiously and kept a low profile. Whenever things looked bad, fleeing first was the wiser choice.
That was how he had avoided being detonated alongside the Western Continent's spiritual veins by Demon Ancestor Rahu and becoming cannon fodder.
This was also the fundamental reason Daoist Zhunti was not bothering to settle matters with Taiyi and Dijun for now.
In Daoist Zhunti's eyes, they were merely two ants. Dealing with them would take no more than the blink of an eye.
This tremendous opportunity to hear a Sage lecture, on the other hand, could not be missed.
To leave a good impression before the Sage, Daoist Zhunti immediately set off for the Outer Chaos Heavens.
Almost at the same moment, countless streaks of escaping light shot up from across the Primordial Wilderness, each displaying their own divine abilities.
East Kunlun Mountain—Three Purities Cave.
Pangu's Three Purities Daoist set out together.
Laozi held the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda above his head.
Streams of Heaven and Earth Yellow Profound energy fell like curtains.
They protected the three brothers from all sides.
As they hurried toward the Outer Chaos Heavens.
West Kunlun—Jade Pool.
Queen Mother of the West took out an Octagonal Treasure Mirror engraved with Taiyi mystic patterns. With a flash, it reflected the heavens, tore open a sliver of space-time, and slowly expanded the spatial entrance by pouring in her magic power.
Once the space-time passage had formed, she flipped her hand and recalled the Octagonal Kunlun Treasure Mirror. Stepping onto it, she traveled through space-time and found the shining coordinates of Purple Cloud Palace within the radiant spatial tunnel.
Even within the river of space-time, Purple Cloud Palace was as large as a star. Heaven and earth could scarcely contain it, making it easy to identify. Queen Mother of the West found it at once.
Western Continent, Mount Sumeru Range—Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss—Sahā World.
A golden lotus swayed gracefully atop the Eight Treasures Lotus Pond, then abruptly transformed into a monk-like Daoist clad in kasaya robes, his face full of suffering. He collected the golden lotus from the Eight Treasures Pond, sat cross-legged, and headed toward the chaos Beyond the Heavens.
Longevity Mountain Five Villages Temple.
Zhen Yuanzi, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, who had Appeared from the transformed true spirit of the Earth's Fetal Membrane, held the Earth's Primordial Membrane in his palm. Thick streams of earth-yellow mother energy protected him in every direction, like a continent floating through the air, as he directly merged into the Primordial World Membrane without regard for its barrier.
As though taking a leisurely stroll, he headed straight into the chaos Beyond the Heavens.
However, midway there, he paused at the World Membrane and waited for eight hundred years. Only when a crimson cloud spanning ten thousand acres appeared before him did he resume his journey.
That crimson cloud was Hongyun, the Red Cloud Hermit, the first crimson cloud Between heaven and earth to attain the Dao after the world opened. He was Zhen Yuanzi's dearest friend; they advanced and retreated together, so nothing more needed to be said.
Nether Blood Sea.
Nether River Ancestor, born from the Blood Sea's womb, sat atop the Twelfth Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus. Blood-fiend energy filled the air as he too hurried toward Purple Cloud Palace.
Buzhou Mountain, Phoenix Perch Valley.
Fuxi and Nüwa, siblings born from the fusion and transformation of a reincarnated Chaos being with the Primordial Wilderness's Innate Yin-Yang energies, wielded a crystalline Precious Lotus Lamp to break through the spatial barrier and enter the chaos.
North Sea.
North Sea Kunpeng transformed into the Nine Heavens Great Peng. With one flap of his wings, he crossed 1.8 million li; with both wings beating, 3.65 million li. He soared upward through the nine heavens, riding favorable winds all the way into the azure sky. He too crossed Beyond the Thirty-Third Heaven and flew toward the Outer Chaos Heavens.
Purple Mansion Continent.
Duke of the East, formed from the first wisp of pure yang energy Between heaven and earth, activated his Companion Spiritual Treasure, the Jingyang Bell. Channeling his magic power, he leaped atop it and sped toward the Outer Chaos Heavens.
Buzhou Mountain, Ancestral Witch Temple.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches relied on their formidable bodies to force their way across the Primordial World Membrane, enduring Chaos Energy with their flesh as they struggled all the way to Purple Cloud Palace.
And so, stirred by Hongjun's ascension to Sagehood, countless Innate Saints who had secluded themselves throughout the Primordial Continent emerged all at once.
Each relied on their own abilities to cross the Thirty-Third Heaven, pass through the Heaven and Earth Membrane, traverse the Chaos Sea, and journey to Purple Cloud Palace to meet Sage Hongjun.
They longed to obtain the opportunity to become Sages.
For a time, the entire Primordial Wilderness became lively.
It brought a trace of vitality to the deathly silent Primordial Continent after the Dragon-Han Calamity.
Yet it also muddled the heavenly secrets and threw destiny into chaotic obscurity, rendering the Innate Divine Calculations of countless great powers ineffective.
There were also cautious beings who did not rush to Purple Cloud Palace immediately. Instead, they emerged from seclusion to visit friends and discuss Hongjun's ascension and the opportunity to hear his lecture.
However, as more and more Primordial Powerhouses headed for Purple Cloud Palace, those beings who had initially remained calm could no longer sit still.
They eventually made up their minds to form teams and head to Purple Cloud Palace in the Outer Chaos Heavens to attend the lecture.
After all, the Outer Chaos Heavens remained an extremely dangerous place for beings like them.
Even Grand Luo Golden Immortals could not guarantee that they would make a safe round trip.
Beyond the Primordial Starry Sky lay the World Membrane.
No one knew how thick or deep this World Membrane was.
Even Daoist Zhunti could not measure it accurately.
Moreover, the World Membrane was equally perilous, swept by Space-Time Storms and heaven-and-earth astral winds.
Only powerhouses at the Grand Luo Golden Immortal level could cross it.
Beyond the barrier of the Primordial World Membrane was the boundless Chaos Void.
Within the Chaos Void, endless Chaos Energy surged like ocean tides. Thus, the Chaos Void was also known as the Chaos Sea.
Every thread of this Chaos Energy could erode a living being's body, primordial spirit, and true soul.
Beings below the Grand Luo Golden Immortal level could not survive there.
Unless they possessed an Innate Spiritual Treasure for protection, they could only remain safe for a short while.
Yet among the hundreds of millions of Primordial Beings, how many possessed Innate Spiritual Treasures?
Any Primordial Being protected by an Innate Spiritual Treasure either possessed Great Destiny or had been designated by the Heavenly Dao as an important future figure of heaven and earth.
Furthermore, even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal wielding an Innate Spiritual Treasure could not travel through the chaos for long.
Once their magic power was exhausted, it would be the time of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal's fall.
Only those with a unique ability like the Primordial World's—to convert Chaos Energy into innate energy, then absorb and refine it into their own magic power—could fear no erosion from Chaos Energy.
But throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness, only Buzhou Mountain, the Heaven-Earth Divine Pillar, possessed the ability to convert the Chaos Energy Beyond the Heavens into innate energy.
But now, there was one more: Sage Hongjun.
