They were definitely Quasi-Saint-level powerhouses, or several Great Divine Ability Users acting together.
"Someone's about to lose patience! There's only a thousand years left. No one can sit still anymore!" Daoist Tongtian said gravely.
He had been the one who set up most of the formation, so he knew all too well what kind of power could tear it apart in an instant.
"They're trying to provoke our three fellow Daoists into leaving their cave abode. Without the advantage of their terrain, the Three Pure Ones could easily be picked off one by one!"
East Prince Gong offered his view at just the right moment.
Hearing the two men's words, the furious Primordial gradually calmed down.
He first thanked East Prince Gong.
"Thank you for lending a hand earlier, fellow Daoist!"
"But now that the formation has been damaged, we'll have to postpone our discussion of the Dao!"
East Prince Gong took the hint and rose to take his leave. After all, they needed to repair their stronghold, and it wouldn't be appropriate to let an outsider watch.
However, after he had left,
Taiqing Laozi finally spoke.
"It wasn't him!"
Yuqing Primordial shook his head, his gaze cold.
"This happened just after he arrived. It's too much of a coincidence. It might have been an inside job. Even if it failed, it could still have won our trust!"
"This sort of thing has happened before."
"I can sense that, aside from the other beings who attacked, the first few were at least Great Divine Ability Users."
"How many Great Divine Ability Users are there in the world?"
Taiqing Laozi sighed.
"These are troubled times!"
Before long, Kunlun was attacked again and again, with the breaches growing increasingly frequent. Not only the Three Pure Ones, but even some of the Great Luo Golden Immortals and Great Divine Ability Users waiting outside realized what was happening.
Some fellow Daoists were losing patience!
The final thousand years!
An inexplicable tension gradually settled over every being.
More and more Great Luo Golden Immortals and Great Divine Ability Users launched increasingly reckless attacks.
Zhunti and Jieyin, still on the run, narrowly escaped danger several times. The attacks were clearly growing more intense.
Chapter 32: Getting Close to Nuwa—Xuanming Makes the First Move!
The Ancestral Shamans acting from the shadows nodded.
They had deliberately created an atmosphere of tension. After their repeated attacks had stirred up emotions at the beginning,
most of the attacks afterward had been led by other hidden forces.
The various Ancestral Shamans began to withdraw.
They were preparing for their next plans.
To make things seem more convincing, they even attacked the Wu Clan a few times themselves.
Within the Wu Clan, Chu Xuan once again met the Fuxi and Nuwa siblings.
As he watched the pairs of cold eyes above turn in their direction,
more than twenty Great Witches linked their auras, rose into the air, and engaged the attackers.
Some Ancestral Shamans even left Pangu Great Hall to fight the hidden powerhouses.
The terrifying rays of Dao light almost turned the entire sky into a sea of sludge.
The sky crumbled to dust, the void was beaten dry, and as the chaos qi scattered in every direction, the four forces of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire were swallowed up.
Even the slightest ripples shaved huge chunks of land from Buzhou Mountain, hundreds of millions of miles away.
For Buzhou Mountain, they were no more than insignificant specks of dust, but the sight was still terrifying.
After all, the Great Dao still suppressed Buzhou Mountain. Even ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals struggled to climb to its peak.
"These are truly troubled times!"
The same words sounded rather carefree coming from Chu Xuan.
After all, with the Wu Clan's current strength, protecting Nuwa was incredibly easy.
And that didn't even include the other Ancestral Shamans who had secretly left to cause trouble.
Fuxi and Nuwa, who hadn't seen him in quite some time, were surprised to see Chu Xuan suddenly appear.
Fuxi was still his usual amiable, easygoing self. He smiled at Chu Xuan, a "Lesser Shaman."
"So it's Fellow Daoist Chu Xuan!"
"It's been nearly a thousand years since we last met!"
"I thought we'd never meet again, but I never expected to run into you here in the heart of Wu Clan territory!"
Fuxi seemed to be making a casual remark, but in truth he was probing, asking how a mere Lesser Shaman at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level had managed to make his way so deep into Wu Clan territory.
This wasn't the Houtu Tribe they had visited before. This was a truly critical location, near Pangu Hall, guarded by the Ancestral Shamans and numerous Great Witches.
If Fuxi and Nuwa hadn't been bound to a Future Saint by Karma, they wouldn't have been permitted to appear here.
Yet Chu Xuan was here too.
And then there was what he had said last time, words that had practically pointed straight to the current turmoil. It was obvious that Chu Xuan was no ordinary person.
How could Fuxi not be curious?
He had come to probe the Wu Clan last time, and even though he had come this time by relying on a favor from them, he still couldn't resist probing again.
As a wise man, he was simply too curious!
But Chu Xuan didn't take the bait. Pretending not to understand, he smiled and said,
"Houtu Ancestor Wu brought me here!"
"I'm just a Lesser Shaman!"
"But the Ancestral Shaman likes me a lot!"
Fuxi gave an "Oh" and smiled.
"Is that so?"
But his eyes plainly showed that he didn't believe it.
Chu Xuan ignored him, instead turning to the beautiful Nuwa, who looked curious.
"Lady Nuwa, why have you been staring at me? Do I have patterns on my face?"
Nuwa smiled.
"I just think you're quite an interesting Lesser Shaman!"
"So many Great Luo Golden Immortals and Great Divine Ability Users are fighting overhead. Aren't you afraid a stray ripple might suddenly kill you?"
"And you still dare to come out and watch!"
"Can you even see anything?"
Fuxi's gaze shifted. Right, he had overlooked that.
A mere Lesser Shaman might have been allowed here because he was favored, but why would he come to watch a battle between Great Luo Golden Immortals?
Yet Chu Xuan continued to play dumb.
"I'm a member of the Wu Clan. Why should I fear death?"
"Besides, Lady Nuwa and Lord Fuxi are here. Surely you wouldn't just sit by and let me be killed!"
"As for whether I can see anything, does it matter?"
Nuwa tilted her head, her figure graceful.
"Doesn't it matter?"
"When the laws of the Great Dao clash, even the slightest leak can cause the laws within your body to conflict if you pay too much attention!"
Chu Xuan smiled and made a gesture that seemed quite fitting for a member of the Wu Clan. He clenched his fist and thumped his chest.
"I'm brave and strong!"
"My body is tough!"
