"BOOM!!!"
Almost the instant Xuanming's voice fell, a terrifying aura that made the entire Journey to the West world tremble slightly spread rapidly outward from Shituo Ridge.
"Taishang, Yuanshi, you... you are going too far!!"
Tongtian's eyes flashed with infinite killing intent. He could no longer afford to care about the consequences of being discovered and began to use his power to divine.
He wanted to confirm he wasn't being deceived.
Although the chances of that were slim!
But he had to guard against it!
After all, the Three Pure Ones had always been united. Let alone those two dogs from the West, even the Dao Ancestor himself was wary of them.
Unfortunately, even with his current strength as a Hunyuan Sage, after divining for a long time, he still gained nothing.
The heavenly secrets of this world had been completely messed up.
But from this, Tongtian confirmed one thing: someone wanted to stir up trouble, and they wanted to hide something from being spied upon!
"Where is Kirin Cliff?"
Casually blasting away the thunderclouds in the sky, Sect Leader Tongtian's eyes were cold as he stared directly at the Green Lion and White Elephant.
"Replying, replying to Master, Kirin Cliff is a perilous place near Sage Yuanshi's Dharmic Seat, the Jade Void Palace..."
"Let's go!"
Sect Leader Tongtian's eyes flickered. The Four Immortal Slaying Swords quickly protected the two people and three beasts as they headed towards the Jade Void Palace in his memory.
The moment Tongtian and the others left, Near Shituo Ridge, Terrifying divine senses swept through Shituo Ridge almost like a plow, but they still couldn't find anything unusual.
Spirit Mountain, Great Hero Hall, Buddha Tathagata, who was formerly Duobao Daoist, sitting high on a lotus throne, had a very grim expression.
He sensed a familiar aura from that burst of power just now.
But that shouldn't be!
Wasn't his Master being held under guard by the Dao Ancestor? It was said he wasn't allowed to step out of Biyou Palace without the Dao Ancestor's permission.
What was going on?
Was it a hallucination?
Tathagata suppressed the unease in his heart, raised his bald, gleaming head, and subtly glanced at the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the hall.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
"Yes, Buddha!"
"There might be trouble in the Shituo Ridge area. Take a few people to check it out, so as not to delay Jin Chanzi and the others' progress."
"Yes!"
Guanyin, holding the Jade Pure Bottle, agreed.
Although she had also felt that terrifying aura just now, she didn't think it had anything to do with their Buddhism.
Or rather, She didn't believe anyone in these nine heavens and ten earths would be so clueless as to oppose their destined-to-flourish Buddhism.
On the other side, Lingxiao Hall, As the nominal Lord of the Three Realms and the former attendant of the Dao Ancestor Hong Jun, the Jade Emperor naturally also felt that aura.
At this moment, he had the same doubts as Tathagata.
However, After the Dao Ancestor merged with the Heavenly Dao, even though he was his former attendant, he hadn't been able to contact him for a long time.
Therefore, After another failed attempt to contact, the Jade Emperor directly rose and went to Doushuai Palace, finding Taishang Laojun who was still refining pills.
"Your Majesty, go back!"
Taishang Laojun, who was refining pills, didn't even look up and said calmly, "This is a matter for the old fellows, not something you can interfere with. Just manage your own affairs!"
"...Yes!"
If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
The Jade Emperor bowed with clasped hands. Although he was displeased, he dared not show any disrespect.
Who could have known that old man was merely a clone of Sage Taishang?
Even though he, the Jade Emperor, was personally appointed as the Lord of the Three Realms by the Dao Ancestor, and even before that, the Three Pure Ones would greet him respectfully.
But ever since the Dao Ancestor merged with the Dao and the Three Pure Ones became Saints, everything had changed.
In front of the Saints, he, the Jade Emperor, was like an ant!
"Saintly position... it's truly difficult!"
On the way back, a complex look flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes. If the heavens hadn't decreed that there could only be six Saints, could he also have glimpsed that legendary realm?
If Tathagata, the Jade Emperor, and even Taishang Laojun were merely confused, Inside Biyou Palace, Tongtian, who had also sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the Hong Huang Continent, felt his mind momentarily freeze.
What was going on?
He actually sensed a trace of himself on the Hong Huang Continent...
No!
To be precise, he sensed a trace of his Origin Aura on the Hong Huang Continent?
How was that possible?
Tongtian subconsciously summoned the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, feeling the constant trembling from the sword bodies, his expression grew solemn.
"You're saying... you also sensed the aura of a similar being? A foreign one?"
"Is that right?"
"As one of the few Innate Supreme Treasures in the entire Primordial World, haven't you and your kind already encountered each other?"
"How could another similar being appear?"
"What?"
"Your kind is also an Innate Supreme Treasure composed of several swords, just like you? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Outside Jade Void Palace, Kirin Cliff, Almost the moment Tongtian and the others arrived, Yuanshi Tianzun in Jade Void Palace opened his eyes.
However, he didn't make any move.
Or rather!
He was currently communicating with Taishang Laojun, who was somewhere else, using divine sense!
Yuanshi Tianzun: "Eldest Brother, has Third Brother broken free? Didn't the Dao Ancestor say he was to remain in Biyou Palace and not leave for half a step?"
Taishang Laojun: "Do you want to interfere with the Dao Ancestor's arrangements?"
Yuanshi Tianzun: "Not exactly, but he's come to my Jade Void Palace now. Can you come over and lend me a hand?"
Taishang Laojun: "He wouldn't dare to make a move. If he does, the Dao Ancestor won't forgive him!"
Yuanshi Tianzun: "You said the same thing back then, didn't you?"
Taishang Laojun: "...Wait a moment. If he really makes a move, I'll call Fellow Daoist Zhunti over as well."
Yuanshi Tianzun: "Then you guys... Huh? Wait a minute!"
Sensing that Sect Leader Tongtian had stopped outside Kirin Cliff, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and pondered for a moment before sighing in relief. "Third Brother seems to be here to rescue his disciple? What do you think? Should we let him?"
Taishang Laojun: "You go first?"
Yuanshi Tianzun was silent for a moment: "Forget it. After all, we're brothers. If he wants to rescue her, let him!"
Taishang Laojun: "I think so too. It's just that those two from the West are a bit too arrogant. It wouldn't be bad to let Third Brother put some pressure on them!"
Yuanshi Tianzun: "Alright!"
As Taishang and Yuanshi reached a consensus, their divine sense communication ceased, and everything returned to calm.
However, Xuanming was clearly unaware of the inside story at this moment.
Sweat was beading on his forehead.
While following Sect Leader Tongtian to the foot of Kirin Cliff and finding his 'master' Yunxiao, who had been trapped there for who knows how long, he earnestly advised Sect Leader Tongtian:
"Grandmaster, take it easy! What if we're surrounded and attacked? You might be able to escape, but my small physique can't handle it!"
