"Give her back to me!"
Xuan Qing saw the three spiritual treasures in Chen Tian's hands that were connected to his origin, yet completely refined, and his rationality completely snapped.
Those were not just magical artifacts, they were what his Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus, whom he had poured countless emotions into, accompanied day and night, and regarded as a Dao companion, had transformed into!
Now, they were being defiled and refined by this group of barbarians!
The monstrous resentment and killing intent, mixed with the power forcibly injected by the Devouring System, caused Xuan Qing's aura to surge again, faintly showing signs of breaking through Grand Unity and touching the threshold of Hun Yuan!
The Green Lotus Sword in his hand erupted with unprecedented brilliance, and the power of Creation on the sword body reversed into pure destruction.
A cyan sword light spanning Chaos slashed fiercely towards the Twelve Ancestor Witches!
"Afraid of you?!"
Zhu Rong roared and took the lead in manifesting his Ancestor Witch true form, his ten-thousand-foot-tall body of the Fire God crashing towards the sword light.
Gonggong, Qiang Liang, and the other Ancestor Witches also roared and revealed their true forms, their baleful aura soaring to the sky, forcibly resisting this angry strike.
Chen Tian's expression changed slightly, but he did not stop the Ancestor Witches from taking action.
This Xuan Qing was just looking for trouble!
The cyan sword light collided fiercely with the Ancestor Witch true forms!
The violent energy instantly tore apart the space, and earth, fire, water, and wind spewed and raged.
"Ah--"
A scream came, and Xuan Qing was directly injured, flying backwards and being embedded into the gate of Zixiao Palace by the Ancestor Witches.
"This Xuan Qing is indeed a madman, daring to fight the Ancestor Witches head-on alone," Ming He said indifferently.
The other Great Powers' thoughts were similar to Ming He's.
Chen Tian rolled his eyes at Xuan Qing, and then left Zixiao Palace with the Twelve Ancestor Witches.
He couldn't expose too many of his trump cards, otherwise, if he was noticed by the Heavenly Dao, he would probably be cleaned up as an anomaly.
Xuan Qing lay at the gate of Zixiao Palace, his face full of disbelief.
Impossible!
He was a Transmigrator, shouldn't he be the one suppressing the Twelve Ancestor Witches and then making a name for himself!
Xuan Qing's Devouring System was also speechless towards this host.
Even if you are given a Chaos treasure, you are no match for the Twelve Ancestor Witches who are invincible in the same realm.
Could it be because his IQ-lowering halo was turned up too high?
"Host can devour more of the Great Desolation origin and break through to Quasi-Saint, then the Ancestor Witches will definitely not be the host's opponents," the Devouring System tempted.
Xuan Qing nodded and was no longer as high-profile as before.
Dragging his injured body, he turned into a cyan stream of light and left this place.
The Four Pure Ones breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xuan Qing leave.
The other party's methods were too astonishing. If the Twelve Ancestor Witches hadn't taken action together, the Great Powers present would definitely not be a match for this person in a one-on-one fight.
"Are you four Daoists alright?"
Hong Yun came to the Four Pure Ones with Zhenyuanzi and asked with concern.
Zhenyuanzi was also quite helpless, this move undoubtedly pushed them towards the Four Pure Ones' side.
If things go wrong, they might suffer revenge from Xuan Qing in the future.
"We are fine, thank you for your concern," Li Shou was naturally very familiar with the Great Desolation's good old man.
In most Great Desolation novels, Hong Yun belongs to that kind of good old man, but the ending is relatively tragic, being killed in the Nether Sea of Blood by the Demon Court people in conjunction with Kunpeng and Ming He.
As for Yun Zhongzi in the Investiture of the Gods period, it is rumored to be the reincarnation of Hong Yun, but he is not clear about the specific situation.
The Four Pure Ones exchanged a few simple words with Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi, agreed to discuss the Dao together in the future if they had the opportunity, and then left outside Zixiao Palace.
The other Great Powers, seeing that there was no good show to watch, also left one after another.
Jieyin and Zhunti were about to leave when they heard someone transmit a message to them.
"That Xuan Qing is an Outer Realm Demon, now that he has gone to your West, you two should pay more attention."
"Heavenly… Dao?" Jieyin and Zhunti felt the Heavenly Dao laws and understood who the messenger was.
Back then, Luohu wanted to detonate the Western spiritual veins. If the Heavenly Dao hadn't taken action in time to suppress Luohu, they couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would have been.
They selectively ignored the Heavenly Dao's birth of self-awareness.
That Xuan Qing is an Outer Realm Demon?
Doesn't that mean that their Western world is now very dangerous!
"Junior Brother, the Heavenly Dao has warned us, we should go back quickly."
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged glances and hurried towards the West.
Zhang Hao told the two about Xuan Qing's true identity, his purpose being to make them pay attention to Xuan Qing.
Hongjun could look upon all things with equanimity, but he certainly couldn't.
Zhang Hao had an identity filter for Transmigrators.
Once he discovered that they were doing things that harmed the Great Desolation, he would directly kill these Transmigrators.
The Western World.
Jieyin and Zhunti, having received a warning from the Heavenly Dao, dared not delay at all. They transformed into two golden lights, hurrying back to their own Daoist temples in the West.
However, when they rushed back near Mount Meru and scanned the area with their divine senses, they were both stunned.
They saw that on the edge of the Western land, which had just been repaired and still had lingering Demonic Qi, a "scenery" had appeared at some unknown time.
A crooked and twisted "cave dwelling," haphazardly piled up from several Chaos stubborn stones, barely resembled a prototype.
In front of the cave dwelling's entrance, a few sparse, half-dead acquired Spiritual Root seedlings were planted, their leaves withered and yellow, looking malnourished.
It was none other than Xuan Qing Daoist's "Daoist temple."
"This..."
Zhunti's eyes twitched slightly, "Senior Brother, this Outer Realm Demon's Daoist temple is a bit too... casual."
Jieyin's face also twitched.
The location of this Daoist temple was precisely stuck in an awkward position where a minor tributary of the Western spiritual vein intersected with Chaos baleful aura.
Not only was the spiritual energy thin and mixed, but it was also constantly eroded by the Chaos aura. Forget about cultivation, living there for a long time would probably damage one's Dao Foundation.
"The Heavenly Dao warns that this fiend is dangerous and needs to be monitored closely to prevent him from harming the West."
Jieyin composed himself and said in a low voice, "Since he has chosen this place, we should move our Daoist temple nearby so that we can observe him at all times."
Zhunti nodded, "Senior Brother is absolutely right."
After a brief discussion, the two found a mountain hollow about a hundred miles away from Xuan Qing's cave dwelling, which was equally sparse in spiritual energy and full of jagged rocks.
Zhunti took out the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and gently brushed it against the mountain hollow. As the seven-colored rays of light flowed, the jagged rocks separated, revealing a shallow rock cave.
Jieyin then took out his Demon Subduing Pestle and tapped the ground in front of the rock cave twice.
Two small, muddy springs immediately gurgled out of the ground, barely providing a bit of "vitality."
The two brothers then scattered a few Innate Bodhi leaves they carried with them at the entrance of the cave, as a kind of embellishment.
The whole process was quick, low-key, and even revealed a bit of... shabbiness.
In less than half a day, a simple cave dwelling, not much better than Xuan Qing's Daoist temple, was completed.
Inside Xuan Qing's cave dwelling.
Xuan Qing was hugging the cyan lotus leaf, absorbing the remaining weak Creation Qi within to heal his injuries, while gnashing his teeth and cursing the Twelve Ancestor Witches and the Three Pure Ones.
His Devouring System was constantly prompting:
[Detected weak Chaos baleful aura, can be slowly devoured, conversion efficiency 0.0001%...] [Detected mixed acquired spiritual energy, containing trace amounts of karma, not recommended for devouring...]
Just as Xuan Qing was feeling irritable, he suddenly sensed two auras not far away, neither weak nor strong.
Immediately afterward, a cave was built with lightning speed.
Xuan Qing: "???"
This cave was only a hundred miles away from his cave dwelling.
In the Great Desolation, this distance was no different from being face-to-face.
He scanned the cave with his divine sense, his gaze landing on the two Daoists inside who were "discussing the Dao" in front of a muddy spring.
Jieyin? Zhunti?
The veins on Xuan Qing's forehead throbbed.
These two future Heavenly Dao Sages, founders of the Western religion, the Great Desolation's famous "loan sharks," the "poverty-stricken duo," how did they end up next door to him?
And living so close? What's so good about this broken place?
Most importantly, your cave is even more dilapidated than mine! What's the meaning of standing next to me? To imply that my place is still alright?!
