"This doesn't seem right. My cultivation is still a little lacking. I might not be able to shield enough of the heavenly secrets or conceal myself!"

Seeing this, Xuanming instinctively felt a little displeased. He'd heard her little sister mentioned and was already tempted. Was she not good enough?

Xuanming promptly wrapped an arm around Chu Xuan, returning to her earlier state, and spoke with bold confidence.

"Isn't your big sister here?"

"Come with me!"

Xuanming spoke into Chu Xuan's ear. A fragrant breeze wafted over, and his gaze shifted. The surrounding space had already split open.

The two entered, then naturally returned to normal, as though nothing had happened.

It was a subtle application of the laws by a Great Divine Ability User.

Even if one hadn't attained the Dao through space, mastery of one law led to mastery of all laws.

At this level, one could control the Dao with the Dao. To distinguish them purely by their laws was to fall into the inferior path.

Borrowing the cultivation of Xuanming Ancestral Witch, Chu Xuan wandered through the depths of layer upon layer of space, crossing countless mountains and rivers in an instant.

The faint aura of Pangu swirled around them.

They passed one Great Luo Golden Immortal after another, yet none could detect them.

His eyes lit up as an idea came to him.

He slipped an arm around Xuanming in turn. Under her surprised yet pleased gaze, he smiled and said,

"Then let's not go to Sister Houtu just yet!"

"Let's go to Kunlun first!"

In the past, he'd always devised schemes for the many Ancestral Shamans to carry out. It was convenient, but he'd still felt some regret at not taking part himself.

Now that he had the chance, Chu Xuan naturally wanted to act in person.

At once, Chu Xuan drew upon the method of the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Sha Formation, resonating with Xuanming's aura and borrowing her cultivation.

Then he made his move.

He tore through the depths of layer upon layer of space, heading toward Kunlun Mountain.

Layer after layer of space split apart until Chaos was almost visible, and Chu Xuan swam through it.

In just half a month, they arrived near Kunlun Mountain.

That was the strength of a Great Divine Ability User.

An ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal would need at least several years to cross such a vast distance.

A Great Divine Ability User, however, could compress the journey into such a short time. If they hadn't once lacked a path forward and been held back, they would have long since become Quasi-Saints.

With Xuanming, who had inexplicably grown much quieter, Chu Xuan descended toward West Kunlun.

It wasn't East Kunlun, where the Three Pure Ones resided, but West Kunlun. Xuanming was a little surprised.

"Why are we going to West Kunlun?"

"Weren't the Three Pure Ones at East Kunlun?"

Chu Xuan smiled.

"Who said I was going to target the Three Pure Ones?"

"I'm going after other Great Divine Ability Users, to stir things up!"

"There have already been too many people targeting the Three Pure Ones. But now it's time to make them turn on one another!"

"Otherwise, why call it the Dark Forest, the Saint Position Calamity of Killing?"

"If things don't get chaotic, how will we get our chance?"

Chu Xuan gazed at the several Daoist abodes within West Kunlun.

Each was surrounded by countless auspicious clouds and a sky full of rosy light. As the legendary Mountain of Ten Thousand Ancestors, Kunlun certainly lived up to its name.

There was no shortage of Great Luo Golden Immortals and Great Divine Ability Users dwelling there.

No wonder the Three Pure Ones at East Kunlun had been slow to leave.

After all, although the Three Pure Ones were powerful now, they weren't yet the Saints of the future. For now, they were merely ordinary Great Divine Ability Users.

Even united as one, they had some means that could even contend with Quasi-Saints.

Yet with enemies on all sides, they should already have run into trouble.

The reason they hadn't was that there were too many powerful beings around them. A single move could set off a chain reaction.

Even the powerful beings within Kunlun were tempted, but they couldn't act recklessly. That gave the Three Pure Ones their opportunity.

But now he was here. He couldn't let the Three Pure Ones remain too comfortable.

It was time to shake up this Mountain of Ten Thousand Ancestors!

Chu Xuan's gaze shifted slightly.

First, he looked toward a Royal Court Secret Realm in the distance. It was clearly a Daoist abode created by a Great Divine Ability User, and the aura of the Pure Sun Dao radiated from it.

Countless living beings worshipped there, bathing in the Pure Sun Radiance as their auras grew stronger.

Even Great Luo Golden Immortals who passed by were shaken to their core, captivated by its splendor.

Watching this, Chu Xuan smiled, then immediately made his move by borrowing Xuanming's cultivation.

He mimicked a certain Daoist mark, transforming it into a colossal wing that shook the heavens.

It thrust out from the void.

With a cold snort, he declared,

"You ruined my plans. Karma will catch up with you eventually! Today, I'll collect a little interest first!"

In an instant, boundless divine light descended like a flood.

It crashed into the Royal Court.

The peerless power of a Great Divine Ability User erupted.

In a single moment, the Royal Court was torn apart.

Countless things were reduced to dust.

The very next moment, defensive measures were activated within the Royal Court.

"How dare you!"

"You've got some nerve!"

A Sword Light faintly slashed toward them.

But it was too slow.

Chu Xuan struck once and immediately withdrew.

He didn't linger to fight.

And just as he'd expected, before long, a Crown Daoist radiating a pure yang aura tore through space and rushed over in fury.

"Who dares ruin my Daoist abode!"

Despite all his attempts to divine the truth, he couldn't trace the heavenly secrets.

It was as though Karma had been severed again and again.

He immediately roared,

"Fine, fine, fine! You've all gone too far and dared to bully me!"

"Fellow Daoist, I'll have to borrow your Kunlun Mirror!"

As soon as the words fell, a dignified, graceful figure emerged from the space behind him, frowning at the utter ruin of the Royal Court Secret Realm.

"Quite right!"

Though she was somewhat displeased by East Prince Gong's arrogance, they both came from West Kunlun and were, at least in public, united.

She immediately summoned a mirror rippling with the light of time.

Its spiritual light blazed.

The scene seemed to rewind, with countless changes playing out.

The devastation before their eyes rapidly reversed, as though everything were being restored.

Then came a cold snort.

"You ruined my plans. Karma will catch up with you eventually! Today, I'll collect a little interest first!"

The divine light illuminated the boundless expanse, concealing the methods of the one who had attacked.

But the Kunlun Mirror instantly unleashed its might.

It analyzed every detail within the scene.

Gradually, the divine light faded.
