Seeking the Book of Earth, the Time Has Not Yet Come

Di Jiang, having successfully collected the Minor World of Qilin Cliff and the crucial Qilin Seal, did not fully relax. To completely and perfectly suppress the terrestrial fortune, the treasure that bore partial authority over the ancient terrestrial fortune was not stable enough on its own.

In his understanding, or rather, in the fragments of his past life's memories, the Book of Earth, transformed from the primordial membrane of the earth and closely connected to the veins of the Primordial World, not only possessed top-tier defensive capabilities but could also suppress terrestrial fortune!

However, the Book of Earth was the companion Spiritual Treasure of Zhenyuanzi from the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, and it was intrinsically one with him. It was almost impossible to obtain through normal trading means. Zhenyuanzi cherished it as his lifeblood and would never part with it.

"Since I can't trade for it, there's only one way left!" a fierce glint flashed in Di Jiang's eyes!

"Steal it!"

Once this thought arose, it became unshakeable!

Now was a golden opportunity! Zhenyuanzi was in the Purple霄 Palace in the chaos listening to the Dao, and the Book of Earth would undoubtedly be with him, as such a supreme treasure would never leave his person. In the chaotic lands, far from the Primordial World, the connection between the Book of Earth and the terrestrial veins would be severed by the chaotic energy. This was the time with the highest chance of success for seizing the Book of Earth!

If he waited until Zhenyuanzi returned to the Primordial World, relying on the Book of Earth's close connection to the terrestrial veins, he could set up the Book of Earth Grand Formation and mobilize the nearly infinite power of the terrestrial veins for defense. At that time, even if Di Jiang were a Primordial Golden Immortal, he would have to waste precious Great Dao merit to forcefully break through the Book of Earth Grand Formation and snatch the treasure, and it was still uncertain whether it would be enough!

Therefore, stealing it was the best method, even though it would undoubtedly forge an irreconcilable hatred with Zhenyuanzi and incur immense Karma. But Di Jiang hesitated for only a moment before making up his mind.

"For my own Great Dao, for the future ability to completely control the authority of the earth and perfectly suppress the terrestrial fortune, on the path to enlightenment, how can I be timid? What are a few ill reputations and Karma compared to that supreme Great Dao?"

Di Jiang no longer hesitated. He temporarily sealed the collected Minor World of Qilin Cliff. With a movement of his body, he tore through the void, concealed his tracks, and transformed into a radiant golden light, charging towards the vast chaos beyond the thirty-three heavens at the fastest speed!

His target was clear – to intercept Zhenyuanzi in the chaos and forcefully seize the Book of Earth!

Di Jiang traversed the chaos, his divine sense spreading out like a vast net, carefully sensing Zhenyuanzi's aura. However, the path back to the Primordial World from the Purple Heaven Palace was not singular, making it difficult to intercept Zhenyuanzi precisely!

A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. Before Di Jiang could lock onto his target, he sensed intense disturbances in the chaotic energy ahead. Powerful auras were rushing towards the Primordial World from the direction of the Purple Heaven Palace!

"The lecture has ended?"

Di Jiang frowned, knowing that it would be difficult to find Zhenyuanzi today. He could only hope for luck to encounter him on his way back to Longevity Mountain. He concealed his form in a relatively unavoidable chaotic area, waiting patiently.

However, instead of Zhenyuanzi, he witnessed an unexpected spectacle.

From afar, the chaos churned, and a beam of light, moving at extreme speed, was fleeing desperately. The figure was a middle-aged Daoist priest wearing a wide Daoist robe, with a gaunt face and a somewhat unrestrained demeanor. It was none other than Kunpeng, renowned for his speed!

However, this carefree great demon appeared quite disheveled at the moment. Behind him, three streams of pure light pursued relentlessly, like a persistent shadow – the Three Pure Ones!

Shangqing, in particular, had the most impatient temper. Before he even arrived, his sharp and unparalleled attacks had already torn through the chaos, striking towards Kunpeng's back! Yuqing also had a frosty expression, waving his large hand, sending streams of Yuqing immortal light to seal off all directions.

Taiqing's aura was the most profound. Although he did not directly attack, the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda above his head cast down streams of Xuanhuang Qi, which had already stabilized a large area of chaos, greatly restricting Kunpeng's movement space. His aura was clearly at the half-step Quasi-Saint stage! It was evident that he had benefited greatly from the second lecture.

"Kunpeng! Hand over the Yin-Yang Banana Tree, or today I will ensure your utter annihilation!" Yuqing shouted sternly, his voice filled with the rage of being robbed.

Di Jiang, listening clearly from the side, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, silently mourning for Kunpeng for three seconds: "Good heavens, this Black Pot seems to have been firmly placed on Kunpeng!"

And the instigator of all this was himself. It was during the second lecture in the Purple Heaven Palace, before Hongjun even arrived, that these three had already clashed with Kunpeng outside the palace gates over the stolen banana tree.

At that time, if Taiqing hadn't been mindful of the occasion and only acted as an observer, not going all out, and if Hongjun hadn't appeared in time, causing Yuqing and Shangqing to stop, Kunpeng would likely have suffered a great loss then.

Furthermore, because the Three Pure Ones were busy dealing with Kunpeng, their inquiry to Hongjun about the master of Mount Buzhou was delayed. Di Jun, Taiyi, and others, influenced by the Three Pure Ones and Kunpeng, also missed the opportunity to ask. And after the lecture ended, Hongjun disappeared, leaving them no chance to inquire!

The only one who knew the truth about Kunpeng and the Three Pure Ones was the Queen Mother of the West. She knew that monitoring the great powers of the Primordial World was her greatest secret, but how could she expose herself to help Kunpeng clear his name?

If, by chance, all the great powers were branded as "Primordial Voyeurs" because of this matter, would the Queen Mother of the West still have any face left? Thus, she chose silence, allowing this Black Pot to remain firmly on Kunpeng's back.

Kunpeng, at this moment, had grievances he couldn't express. While desperately urging his innate speed, he turned back and roared, "Shangqing, Yuqing! Taiqing! I have long said that I never took your damned banana tree! Why do you pursue me so relentlessly?"

Kunpeng's hair was disheveled, and his Daoist robe was torn, making him look utterly pathetic. He believed his speed was top-tier in the Primordial World and thought he could outrun the Three Pure Ones with his extreme speed after the lecture. However, he never expected that Taiqing's cultivation would advance greatly after this lecture, reaching the half-step Quasi-Saint stage. He was only one suitable spiritual treasure for severing the corpse away from becoming a true Quasi-Saint! If he had one, Taiqing would already be a Quasi-Saint now!

This made Taiqing's escape technique and magical power far superior to before. With this shift, Kunpeng's Primordial extreme speed was greatly diminished, and he was eventually cornered by the three.

"Hmph! The evidence is conclusive, yet you still dare to quibble!" Shangqing did not believe him at all.

"Besides you, this feathered beast, who else would commit such a cowardly act and possess such speed? Take this!"

Before the words fell, even more ferocious attacks surged towards Kunpeng like a celestial river pouring down!

Yuqing also attacked simultaneously, sending divine thunderbolts with immense force crashing down!

Seeing that explanations were useless and their killing intent was set, Kunpeng could only roar in anger, revealing part of his true form. He spread his wings, stirring up hundreds of millions of miles of chaos, and met the attacks of the two head-on!

BOOM--!

The chaos exploded, and the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind surged! Although Kunpeng was powerful, facing the combined assault of two Pangu's True Lineage cultivators of the same level, with Taiqing watching menacingly from the side, he instantly fell into a complete disadvantage, in grave peril!
