Deep beneath Buzhou Mountain, two streams of Innate Pure Qi suddenly surged up from the earth's veins. One was as mysterious and profound as the starry sky, taking the form of Xuanyuan, clad in white robes as pure as snow. The other was as clear as drifting clouds, becoming Tongtian, dressed in black robes and carrying a sword.
As soon as the two had taken shape, Black and White Qi swirled beneath Tongtian's feet like a revolving Taiji. With a flicker, he appeared before Empress Jueyin and Heavenly Venerate Yangming, his gaze fixed on the myriad rays of light behind them, where the Yin Yang Banana Tree lay hidden in a secret realm.
"Fellow Daoists, I am Upper Pure Tongtian. This is my younger brother, Xuanyuan. I pay my respects."
"I had no wish to take what belongs to another, but this treasure is perfectly suited to the Great Dao of Yin Yang. It is destined to be my Treasure for Proving the Dao, and I am determined to claim it."
Tongtian gave a respectful bow. Yin Yang Qi stirred faintly around him, and an oppressive aura began to spread.
Xuanyuan looked up and bowed to the brother and sister as well.
He could see that their magical power was clear and pure, without resentment or baleful aura. They were likely true cultivators devoted to arduous practice, who had committed few killings. They were unlike Pan Wang, and would not be moved to murder over a treasure.
However, dense Calamity Qi swirled between their brows. They were already caught in a tribulation and did not even know it.
Xuanyuan had been puzzled. In his memories, neither the Investiture of the Gods Calamity nor the Journey to the West Calamity had featured these two, let alone the future Buddha-Demon Calamity or
