Preaching Ends, Everyone Hits a Wall

As Di Jiang gained enlightenment and the lecture at the Purple Firmament Palace concluded its epoch, the great powers of the Primordial World reaped abundant harvests and advanced their cultivation. They each summoned their escape lights and returned to the Primordial World.

With their cultivation enhanced, the spiritual senses of the great powers naturally became even sharper. Almost in unison, Taiqing, Yuqing, Shangqing, Di Jun and Taiyi, Nuwa and Fuxi, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi – these groups of top great powers – all faintly sensed a vague pull of destiny in the direction of Mount Buzhou that resonated with their own paths!

This feeling was profound and mysterious, not clearly pointing to any specific Spiritual Treasure, but more like an echo of Dao rhythm, or the faint thread of causality for a significant future event tied to that location.

Thus, the several parties, filled with curiosity and a hint of anticipation, converged from various directions at the foot of Mount Buzhou. However, the scene before them presented a wall of reality to their nascent curiosity.

The legendary Five Elements Great Array truly appeared before them! Azure, crimson, yellow, white, and black divine lights, like a colossal bowl lid, were inverted over Mount Buzhou. The Five Elements Power flowed ceaselessly, evolving into earth, water, fire, and wind, exuding a defensive force that made one's heart palpitate.

The great powers attempted to probe with their divine senses, only to discover that while the array was not entirely impenetrable, and their divine senses could barely penetrate the layer of five-colored light, the internal scene they perceived was blurry. They could only vaguely sense the majestic spiritual energy of Mount Buzhou and a few eye-catching, special Dao rhythms!

They were completely unable to pinpoint what it was, let alone see the details inside. It was precisely this state of sensing an opportunity but not knowing what it was, nor being able to reach it, that made their hearts even more restless.

"This array is truly wondrous, but indeed troublesome!" Yuqing exclaimed in surprise. He had always been highly self-assured, yet now he was at a loss, unable to even enter!

Shangqing couldn't help but unleash a palm strike to tentatively test the light barrier. With a soft hum, his palm force vanished like a clay ox entering the sea, not even causing a ripple. Instead, the unfathomable counter-shock force of the array made his heart tremble slightly.

"What a formidable array!" Shangqing retracted his hand, his face still etched with shock.

On the other side, Di Jun stopped Taiyi, whose aura was subtly fluctuating, and said gravely, "Younger brother, this array is profound and unfathomable. Do not act rashly."

Taiyi nodded. Without the Chaos Bell, he had lost some of his arrogance and also realized that this array was no ordinary matter!

His accompanying Spiritual Treasure had vanished while he was in a daze. It was his elder brother Di Jun who had lent him his Sun Gold Wheel. Although the Sun Gold Wheel was excellent, it made Taiyi yearn even more to possess a Spiritual Treasure of his own!

Meanwhile, Nuwa gazed at the hazy silhouette of the mountain, recalling the circumstances of her inexplicable displacement. Her heart was complex, filled with both a desire for opportunity and a trace of old resentment.

Fuxi, standing beside her, continuously performed calculations, his brow furrowing tighter. "The heavenly secrets are chaotic, and the core of the array is even more difficult to deduce. This mountain master, who did not go to Purple Heaven Palace to listen to the Dao, is truly unfathomable."

Hongyun and his friend Zhenyuanzi circled the edge of the great array, sighing. "Alas, what shall we do? We clearly feel something good inside, yet we cannot enter!"

Zhenyuanzi comforted him, "Fellow Daoist, do not worry. If the opportunity has not yet arrived, it cannot be forced."

The several groups lingered outside the array for a long time, trying every method to no avail. In the end, they coincidentally gathered together. Seeing the similar expressions of helplessness and disappointment on each other's faces, the atmosphere became somewhat awkwardly subtle.

Everyone was at a loss as to how to enter Mount Buzhou. A frontal assault seemed impossible, as Shangqing's earlier probe had already proven.

Taiqing pondered for a moment, stroking his beard, and said, "Since a direct attack is futile, why not approach with courtesy and state our intentions! Perhaps the mountain master is not unreasonable."

The others agreed, finding sense in his words. After all, anyone capable of setting up such a grand array, and who had not gone to Purple Heaven Palace to listen to the Dao, was no ordinary being. Moreover, they were all powerful figures who commanded respect in the Primordial World and possessed profound cultivation. They assumed the mountain master would give them face!

Thus, led by Taiqing, everyone cupped their hands towards the five-colored light barrier, stating their origins and expressing their admiration for the mountain master. They conveyed that they sensed something within the mountain that was fated for them, and humbly requested the mountain master to grant them convenience to enter and observe, promising to abide by all rules.

Their voices, though somewhat weakened by the array, clearly entered the Pangu Divine Hall. However, Di Jiang at this moment was completely immersed in the profound mystery of the sliver of Yin-Yang Law he had just comprehended! Coupled with the depletion of his origin, he needed to recover and cultivate, leaving him no time for other matters!

The birth and death transformation of Yin and Yang energies, and their intermingling evolution with the Five Elements Law, had him utterly captivated. He had no leisure to attend to the "noise makers" outside!

Di Jiang directly chose to ignore the messages from outside. Time trickled by, and the people outside the array maintained their respectful posture for a full hundred years, yet received no response. The five-colored light barrier continued to flow, its silence embarrassingly profound.

If you find this book to your liking, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Yuqing's expression was the first to falter. He had always considered himself a descendant of Pangu's True Lineage. Now, after humbling himself and speaking courteously, the other party did not even offer the slightest response. This was simply naked contempt!

"Outrageous! This person is so arrogant!"

Yuqing Yuanshi couldn't help but exclaim in anger!

"We are the true descendants of Pangu's Primordial Spirit. Returning to Mount Buzhou is like returning home! This scoundrel occupies the spine of Father God, blocks our path with an array, and now treats us as if we were invisible. This is utterly disrespectful!"

Shangqing also felt a surge of anger. He had long grown impatient and, upon hearing this, became even more furious. "Second Brother is absolutely right! Eldest Brother spoke courteously, yet he completely ignored us! I believe this person is deliberately humiliating us, the descendants of Pangu's True Lineage! Does he think he can do as he pleases just because his array is powerful?"

Even Taiqing, who was usually more composed, frowned slightly, feeling that the other party's neglect was indeed excessive.

Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others, while not feeling like they were being denied entry to their home like the Three Pure Ones, also felt their dignity wounded and their hearts displeased. Nuwa, recalling old grievances, felt that this mountain master was indeed not a good person.

Yuqing and Shangqing grew increasingly angry as they thought about it, and began to shout into the array, their tone shifting from initial politeness to interrogation!

"Listen, you inside! We, the Three Pure Ones, are the descendants of Pangu's Primordial Spirit, the true lineage of Pangu. This is the land formed from Father God's spine. Quickly open the array, or you will be disrespecting Father God!"

"Hiding your head and showing your tail, this behavior is not that of a virtuous person! If you have the guts, come out and face us!"

These angry transmissions, like demonic sounds, pierced their ears. Although they could have been directly blocked, they had already been heard, and they caused Di Jiang to feel a flicker of impatience.

"Noisy!"

Di Jiang's eyes snapped open, a sharp glint flashing within them. The most crucial thing during cultivation was a clear mind. He decided to teach these people a lesson!

"Truly ungrateful, asking for trouble when there's none, insisting on a beating!"

Di Jiang, too lazy to appear, directly linked his mind to the Five Elements Great Array that enveloped Mount Buzhou!

The five-colored light barrier, which had been calmly flowing, suddenly erupted in brilliance! Five thick beams of divine light, imbued with terrifying destructive energy – gold, azure, blue, crimson, and yellow – separated from the great array like five roaring dragons. They precisely locked onto the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun and Taiyi, Nuwa and Fuxi, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi, and the others outside the array. With a speed that surpassed their reaction time, they struck down with a thunderous roar!

"Not good!"

"Retreat quickly!"

Taiqing and Di Jun exclaimed simultaneously. Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they each unleashed their strongest defensive measures! Taiqing summoned the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda above his head, shielding Yuqing and Shangqing. Di Jun and Taiyi unleashed the He Tu Luo Shu, their Sun Gold Wheels, and the Solar True Fire blazed around them. Fuxi strummed his zither, and Zhenyuanzi unfurled the Book of Earth for defense...

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Five consecutive deafening roars, accompanied by muffled groans and startled cries!

The five-colored divine lights, like an unstoppable force, fiercely struck their Spiritual Treasures! Although the terrifying power was largely blocked by the Spiritual Treasures, it still shook their Primordial Spirits and sent their blood surging!

In the next moment, nine figures, like kites with broken strings, spewing blood, were blasted away by this irresistible immense force! They transformed into streams of light, instantly vanishing into the horizon, flung to some unknown corner billions of miles away!

Inside the Pangu Divine Hall, the world finally became quiet.

Di Jiang clapped his hands, dusting off non-existent dust from his body, and closed his eyes once more, immersing himself in his Yin-Yang Great Dao.
