The Three Pure Ones Take Action

This figure was naturally Ye Jun.

Ye Jun had already broken through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, and with the Nine Revolutions Profound Art as his foundation, these mere Dao Steps were hardly a challenge.

"How could it be that monkey?" Yuanshi Tianzun cried out in shock.

He, a proud member of the Pangu Orthodox, had been surpassed by a monkey?

Taishang Laojun's face was also ashen. He had ignored this monkey before, and now the creature had overtaken the three of them to reach the summit of the Dao Steps. How could Taishang Laojun, whose ambition soared to the heavens, endure this?

Two of the Three Pure Ones were filled with displeasure, while Tongtian remained silent as always.

"Who are you? The Purple Cloud Palace is where the Sage preaches the Dao. Get down at once!" Taishang Laojun barked.

But Ye Jun did not move. He coldly stared down at the crowd below and said, "The Sage has said that all who are fated may come here. Why can't I?"

At this moment, Ye Jun stood alone atop the Dao Steps, looking down upon the many Great Beings below.

So what if he was a monkey? Wasn't he still ahead of them?

Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes flashed with murderous intent. This monkey was utterly clueless!

"Get down now!" Yuanshi Tianzun said coldly again.

"Scram!" Ye Jun bellowed, and every God and Devil on the Dao Steps felt their hearts tremble.

Was this monkey so arrogant?

Daring to speak to the Three Pure Ones like this—had he lost his mind?

Yuanshi Tianzun's face darkened like deep water. A mere monkey dared to provoke him like this?

Courting death!

Yuanshi Tianzun's Daoist Robe fluttered without wind, and he leaped up, intending to ascend the Dao Steps and teach this lawless monkey a proper lesson.

"I said, scram!" Ye Jun snorted coldly.

He swung his long sleeve directly at Yuanshi Tianzun, and in an instant, the entire Dao Steps were thrown into chaos.

Yuanshi Tianzun had just set foot on the Dao Steps and had not yet found his footing—how could he withstand Ye Jun's sleeve strike?

He was sent tumbling back down, looking utterly disheveled and humiliated.

Taishang Laojun and Tongtian's expressions shifted dramatically as they stared fixedly at this monkey.

"You monkey, how dare you throw the first blow?" Yuanshi Tianzun roared in fury once he recovered.

He, one of the Three Pure Ones of the Pangu Orthodox, had been humiliated by a creature of scales and fur!

Who could endure this?

"I struck, and so what? Do the three of you intend to gang up on me?" Ye Jun sneered.

They were all sanctimonious hypocrites, only so incensed because they saw him as an ordinary monkey with an utterly common Origin/Foundation.

"Daoist Friend, you go too far!" Even Tongtian, with his usual restraint, found this monkey too arrogant.

"Third Brother, say no more. Today, we will teach this monkey the might of the Three Pure Ones!"

Taishang Laojun waved his sleeve, and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda suddenly appeared above his head.

The many Gods and Devils on the Dao Steps below watched with relish.

"Is this monkey too reckless? Doesn't he know who the Three Pure Ones are?" a massive God and Devil rumbled.

The Three Pure Ones were renowned figures in the Primordial Wilderness!

Just as Taishang Laojun was about to unleash the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda against Ye Jun, Ye Jun raised an eyebrow and shouted loudly, "Before the Purple Cloud Palace, do the three Daoist Friends intend to start a fight?"

The moment Ye Jun's words fell, the Three Pure Ones all frowned. This monkey was utterly shameless!

Hadn't he been the one provoking them?

How had it become them making the first move?

Dao Ancestor Hongjun had been watching the scene before the Purple Cloud Palace all along.

He, too, was extraordinarily surprised by the appearance of this monkey, Ye Jun.

"Could it be that I misjudged him back then? A monkey has actually cultivated to this level?" Dao Ancestor Hongjun murmured to himself.

"Resolve any grievances before the Purple Cloud Palace. I will not interfere."

An ethereal voice came from within the Purple Cloud Palace, and Yuanshi Tianzun's lips curled into a cold smile.

It seemed even Dao Ancestor Hongjun could no longer tolerate this wild monkey's behavior.

Ye Jun only sneered inwardly. It appeared that his presence at the Purple Cloud Palace had made Hongjun rather uncomfortable.

A true Sage, putting on such airs!

Trying to make the Three Pure Ones back down?

Then come and try!

"Since the Dao Ancestor has spoken, we three won't rely on numbers. Let me teach you a lesson!" Yuanshi Tianzun sneered.

In an instant, the Great Dao Laws swirled around him. He raised a hand, and a massive palm print shot toward Ye Jun.

Ye Jun's Nine Revolutions Profound Art roared to life within him. He took a deep breath and drove a fist straight into the palm print.

Spiritual Energy scattered before the Purple Cloud Palace, and thunderous booms tore through the sky.

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned. That palm had used seventy percent of his cultivation.

And he still couldn't take down this Monkey?

Steeling himself, Yuanshi Tianzun prepared to strike again.

"Second Brother, step back. Let me try." Taishang Laojun, seeing the Monkey could withstand Yuanshi Tianzun's palm, knew he could not be underestimated.

Hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly, clasped his hands behind his back, and stood still.

Without another word, Taishang Laojun's hands flew through seals. The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda above his head spun with a soft hum.

He would suppress Ye Jun within it!

The pagoda's body swelled abruptly, divine light of the Laws flashing around it. In moments, it hovered over Ye Jun's head.

"Suppress!"

Taishang Laojun cried out sharply. The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda crashed downward.

Ye Jun's face was calm. He held the Lei Xiao Sword horizontally across his arms, Spiritual Energy surging through his body, lightning crackling along the blade.

He drew the nine heavens' thunder to the sword's tip and charged straight at the pagoda's sealing runes.

Dust and wind exploded across the sky. The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda pressed firmly onto the ground before the Purple Cloud Palace, unmoving.

The three thousand Gods and Devils on the Dao Steps all sucked in a cold breath. Was this the strength of Taishang Laojun of the Three Pure Ones?

If the pagoda were pushed to its limit, even they might not escape.

"This wild Monkey can't possibly get through this time," Yuanshi Tianzun said, his smile returning.

Taishang Laojun brushed his Daoist Robe and said softly, "This act was unavoidable."

With that, he moved to retrieve the pagoda.

"Old Daoist, you really think this tower can trap me?"

A voice suddenly rang out from beneath the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda. Taishang Laojun's face changed drastically.

The pagoda, which had been steady as a mountain, began to tremble violently.

"Break!"

A low shout rang out. Lightning flashed beneath the pagoda, and Ye Jun's figure slowly emerged.

"Not a bad tower." Ye Jun patted his sleeves, standing with one hand resting on his sword.

The three thousand Gods and Devils below were utterly stunned. Where had this freak of a Monkey come from?

Even Taishang Laojun, wielding the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda, couldn't capture him outright.

Yuanshi Tianzun's face darkened. Could this Monkey really not be subdued?

Where would the face of the Three Pure Ones go?
