"What don't you believe in? I'm very curious," Ye Jun said with a cold laugh.
The God-Slaying Spear in his hand pulsed with energy, striking fear into the hearts of the many people from the Purple Mansion gathered around.
These guys were just a facade that East King Duke had put up, using the prestige of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Zixiao Palace.
East King Duke slowly rose, his entire demeanor completely changed from before. His brocade robes were now covered in a layer of dust.
"You've broken through to Quasi-Saint!" East King Duke gritted his teeth.
"It seems your information is far too outdated. I broke through to Quasi-Saint thousands of years ago," Ye Jun said smugly.
Did this mere East King Duke really think he could contend with him? Truly suicidal!
East King Duke's face turned pale, devoid of any color. Ye Jun had made it simple this time; one strike from the spear had reduced him to this state.
Was East King Duke destined to be so subservient?
"Alright, I don't have much time to waste with you. I've made myself perfectly clear: this Wuji Mountain is my Dao field. As for you, you can get lost!" Ye Jun said impolitely.
This East King Duke was like a fly, and he had to run into him even here at Wuji Mountain.
What bad luck!
East King Duke's expression shifted repeatedly. Ye Jun was actually telling him to scram just like that?
The people from the Purple Mansion quickly rushed to help East King Duke up. Seeing the spear mark on East King Duke's sleeve, their hearts trembled.
This guy was too ruthless! Nowadays, everyone in the Primordial World gave East King Duke at least some face.
After all, he was personally appointed by a Saint as the foremost male immortal, with a colossal power standing behind him!
"Master, what do we do next?" a disciple from the Purple Mansion asked cautiously.
"Retreat!" East King Duke gritted out.
Although Wuji Mountain was a coveted prize, he was clearly powerless at the moment.
Ye Jun's appearance was far too unexpected.
"Ye Jun, don't get too cocky. I will return sooner or later!" East King Duke left this harsh threat before leading his people away from Wuji Mountain.
Ye Jun crossed his arms and watched with a cold gaze. What kind of storm could one East King Duke stir up? Would Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself make a move?
What a joke!
After East King Duke had completely departed, Ye Jun returned to the Scripture Repository.
He still planned to study those one hundred and eight black and white chess pieces carefully.
Zixiao Palace!
East King Duke's figure appeared before the gates of Zixiao Palace. As soon as he ascended the Dao Steps, he immediately prostrated himself on the ground.
"Teacher, please uphold justice for your disciple!" East King Duke said, tears streaming down his face.
East King Duke had rushed to Zixiao Palace non-stop as soon as he left Wuji Mountain.
He wasn't a fool. Ye Jun was already at the Quasi-Saint realm. If he, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, went there, he would just be asking for a beating.
In this situation, his only recourse was to seek out Hongjun.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun in Zixiao Palace also looked helpless. This guy had only left Zixiao Palace a short while ago, and now he was back again.
"Come in!" Hongjun said slowly.
Immediately, the grand doors of Zixiao Palace boomed open. Seeing this, East King Duke scrambled into the main hall of Zixiao Palace.
"What is it? Speak slowly!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun said.
"Teacher, your disciple, following your arrangement, led people to Wuji Mountain. However, that monkey Ye Jun had already arrived ahead of time and claimed that Wuji Mountain was his Dao field," East King Duke said with a wronged tone.
Hongjun sighed inwardly. He had actually sensed it. When Ye Jun broke through to Quasi-Saint, he had been extremely surprised.
How had a mere monkey cultivated to the Quasi-Saint realm so quickly?
This even made Dao Ancestor Hongjun doubt his original decision. If he had taken Ye Jun as a disciple back then, would there have been so many troubles?
"I am aware of this. Ye Jun likely possesses great fortune, otherwise his realm wouldn't have advanced so rapidly," Hongjun had to admit.
"Then, Teacher, what should your disciple do to reclaim Wuji Mountain?" East King Duke asked.
"Ye Jun has already broken through to Quasi-Saint. You alone will certainly not be able to defeat him. I will give you a spiritual treasure," Hongjun said calmly.
With a wave of his hand, a ball of light floated directly in front of East King Duke.
"This is the Qiankun Cauldron. It contains the essence of Qiankun and can suppress Ye Jun within it. I have left a trace of my divine sense within this cauldron."
"With this divine sense, the monkey won't be able to escape for a while. You should seize this opportunity to act," Dao Ancestor Hongjun said slowly.
East King Duke looked at the ancient cauldron before him. The Qiankun essence subtly emanated from its surroundings.
The cauldron was inlaid with images of dragons, phoenixes, and qilin, as well as the Nine Heavens Star River, and the twin stars of Taiyin and Taiyang were depicted upon it.
"Your disciple thanks you, Teacher. With the Qiankun Cauldron, I'm sure I can make that rascal Ye Jun understand his place!" East King Duke's face lit up with joy.
With the Qiankun Cauldron, blessed by a Saint, let's see how that monkey will face it!
"Mhm, if that's the case, then withdraw," Hongjun said indifferently.
East King Duke kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Teacher! What about the Purple Mansion's affairs?"
"The Purple Mansion's affairs are for you to handle yourself!" Hongjun dropped this sentence and his divine sense moved.
East King Duke found himself outside of Chaos, and his respect for Dao Ancestor Hongjun deepened.
This kind of ability to make distances seem like mere inches was something only Saint Hongjun possessed in the entire Primordial World.
East King Duke knelt again in the void towards Zixiao Palace before transforming into a stream of light and returning to Wuji Mountain.
Wuji Mountain.
Wuji Mountain was currently full of new vigor. After organizing the Scripture Repository, Ye Jun had mastered the Yin Yang Dao Method, the very technique Old Ancestor Yin Yang was famous for.
Even the Yin Yang Chess Pieces and the Yin Yang Array were learned by Ye Jun.
Ye Jun felt that with a few minor adjustments, he could even pass himself off as Old Ancestor Yin Yang and roam the Primordial World without anyone noticing his Dao Method.
Of course, this was only regarding the Dao Method. It would be too unbelievable for Old Ancestor Yin Yang, who was already dead, to reappear.
Ye Jun had just reconfigured the Yin Yang Array into the mountain-protecting formation. As for the Scripture Repository, the good items were basically all in his possession now.
"Ye Jun, you insolent monkey, come out and die!"
Ye Jun, who had just begun to relax, couldn't help but sneer upon hearing this voice.
"East King Duke, oh East King Duke, you are truly persistent," Ye Jun said loudly.
"Stop the nonsense. How could Wuji Mountain be so easily handed over to you? Come out, let us fight!" East King Duke shouted from below Wuji Mountain.
"You want to fight? Then come in first. I'll be waiting for you on Wuji Mountain, Daoist friend," Ye Jun said dismissively.
