I won't split this into two chapters today. Here's a long one.
"Jieyin, do you dare to fight me in Chaos?"
East King Duke was peerlessly imposing, and his words shook the heavens.
Hearing his bold declaration, Zhunti, who was still using Heavenly Dao Great Power to reforge his Good Corpse at Western Spirit Mountain, wore an expression of bitter resentment. Bodhi's destruction had dealt him a heavy blow, both to his Saint Body and to his Dao Heart.
He and his senior brother were the Two Sages of the West, having made grand vows to borrow their Saint Positions from the Heavenly Dao in advance. Compared with the Three Pure Ones and the others, their positions were unstable.
The destruction of his Good Corpse had also cost him a great deal of Heavenly Dao fortune. At first, his Nascent Soul had been shaken, and his grief and anger had left his mind unguarded. He had nearly lost his connection to the Heavenly Dao and fallen from his Saint Position. Only with his senior brother Jieyin's protection had he managed to steady himself.
Though he had stabilized by now, his Good Corpse had yet to emerge, and restoring it would take tens of thousands of years. That was why Jieyin had gone out to scheme against the East this time. Otherwise, the matter would have been handled by Zhunti himself.
Watching the East King Duke, whose battle intent soared to the heavens and was aimed directly at Jieyin, Zhunti's thoughts churned. Ever since they had helped the Queen Mother of the West seize a cushion in Purple Heaven Palace hundreds of thousands of years ago, he and his senior brother had repeatedly suffered at the East King Duke's hands.
