This Seat Thinks It's Capable Again

PS: Thank you to Daoist friend Xue Luo Qian Ren for the support and patronage, Dragon Soul kneels in gratitude.

Seeing that Hong Jun had already left, everyone knew there was no hope left, and so they headed out of the Purple Cloud Palace with regret on their faces.

Just then, East Prince spoke up directly: "Fellow Daoists, since This Daoist has been appointed by the Dao Ancestor to manage the Primordial Male Immortals, I must take action."

"After leaving the Purple Cloud Palace, This Daoist will establish the Immortal Court on Fang Zhu Mountain in the East Sea. Any who wish to join the Immortal Court may come to Fang Zhu Mountain in the East Sea to see This Daoist."

East Prince spoke with great pride and ambition, but when he finished, he realized that only a few people remained in the entire Purple Cloud Palace.

This immediately made East Prince frown, for it was a blatant slap in the face, showing that none of the Three Thousand Purple Cloud Palace Guests took his words seriously.

"You who defy the Dao Ancestor's decree will regret it one day." East Prince muttered under his breath, then turned his gaze to Queen Mother of the West, who was about to leave.

"Daoist friend Queen Mother of the West, since we have been appointed as the heads of the Primordial Male and Female Immortals, shouldn't we jointly establish the Immortal Court and manage the Primordial World Cultivators on behalf of the Dao Ancestor?"

Queen Mother of the West's face clearly showed impatience. She had never been interested in the struggles of the Primordial World and found East Prince's arrogance even more irritating.

She then spoke: "I prefer peace and quiet and have no great ambitions. I only wish to remain in West Kunlun and cultivate diligently."

"If any Primordial Female Immortals come to West Kunlun, they may cultivate here. If they are unwilling to come, I cannot force them."

Having said this, she turned and walked out of the Purple Cloud Palace, not giving East Prince a chance to persuade her further.

This made East Prince gnash his teeth in anger once again, for his plan was not merely to join forces with Queen Mother of the West to establish the Immortal Court.

Rather, he intended to form a Dao companion with her, since he was Innate Pure Yang Qi and she was Innate Pure Yin Qi—a match made in heaven.

Unfortunately, from Queen Mother of the West's expression, she had no such interest. In fact, she seemed somewhat annoyed with him.

But East Prince did not realize this; instead, he thought Queen Mother of the West was ungrateful. Once his Immortal Court was established, he would make her come begging to him.

Then he flicked his Daoist Robe and strode out of the Purple Cloud Palace, returning to the Primordial World to build the Immortal Court.

This scene was naturally observed by Qing Xuan and the others. Nuwa directly asked Qing Xuan.

"Little Gourd Vine, do you think East Prince can establish the Immortal Court? If he does, will Queen Mother of the West co-rule it with him?"

Qing Xuan smiled and said: "Since it is the Dao Ancestor's appointment, East Prince is as if ordained by heaven. How could he possibly fail?"

Seeing the playful expression on Qing Xuan's face, Nuwa immediately understood that he was speaking sarcastically, and she shot him a fierce glare.

Then Qing Xuan, Nuwa, Fu Xi, and Houtu walked out of the Purple Cloud Palace together. They entered the Chaos and returned to the Primordial World.

They planned to first return to Fangzhang Island to stabilize their cultivation, then wait for Hong Jun's Third Lecture. But before they could set off for the East Sea, three figures blocked their path.

Seeing these three, Qing Xuan couldn't help but smile wryly. "They think we're weaker than them, so they've come to settle the score."

Indeed, these three were none other than the Sanqing. Laozi's face was expressionless, but there was murder in his eyes.

Yuanshi Tianzun was more direct. Seeing Qing Xuan return from the Chaos, he immediately said: "Qing Xuan, did you think this day would never come?"

Qing Xuan nodded with a smile: "Indeed, I didn't think it would come so soon. I figured you'd at least wait until you'd Proven Dao and Become a Saint before daring to seek revenge."

"But since you've come now, you must think you're up to it. Enough talk—all three of you, come at once."

Yuanshi Tianzun felt that having severed his Good Corpse and become a Quasi-Saint at the initial stage, he was a mighty Great Being. He expected Qing Xuan to be terrified.

After all, the three brothers were all Quasi-Saints, while Qing Xuan's group of four were only Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. The gap between them was enormous.

Yet Qing Xuan appeared completely unconcerned, as if he didn't regard them at all—just like that day when he single-handedly taught the three brothers a lesson.

This infuriated Yuanshi Tianzun, who immediately hurled the Three Treasures Ruyi at Qing Xuan's head.

Qing Xuan reached into the void and grasped the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler, which instantly appeared in his hand. He then sent it flying to meet the Three Treasures Ruyi.

At the same time, the Folding Fan had already appeared in Qing Xuan's hand. He slowly unfolded it, with the Fan Surface facing toward his chest.

The side shown to the Sanqing only had the two characters "Great Dao" written in Innate Dao Patterns. Though endless Dao resonance flowed through the characters, it was nothing extraordinary.

But the side facing Qing Xuan bore the fan surfaces of Hong Jun's two lectures at the Purple Cloud Palace—that was truly astonishing.

As Qing Xuan unfolded the fan, the Seven Gourds clinked and jingled, making him look incredibly elegant.

Meanwhile, the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler had already clashed with the Three Treasures Ruyi. With a single strike, it knocked the Ruyi down.

The Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler continued its momentum, flying straight toward Yuanshi Tianzun, aiming directly at his Buttocks.

Seeing that scene from the past about to repeat itself, Laozi quickly raised the Coiling Dragon Flat Crutch. It transformed into a Flood Dragon and met the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler.

Logically, with his current cultivation, Yuanshi Tianzun could easily dodge Lu Xuan's strike. But the Pangu Imprint on the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler restricted his movements.

The moment Yuanshi Tianzun saw the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler swinging toward him, he actually felt that he Deserves Punishment and had no thought of dodging.

Moreover, the Coiled Dragon Carrying Pole failed to block the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler at all. The ruler passed through it as if through air, then struck Yuanshi Tianzun's Buttocks with a heavy thud.

Seeing this, Laozi instantly understood the key. He said to Tongtian: "Third Brother, help your Second Brother block the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler. Elder Brother will capture Qing Xuan."

Laozi now realized that the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler had an innate restraint over them. Once it got close, they couldn't even think of dodging.

Since that was the case, the solution was to eliminate the one wielding the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler. The ruler might counter them, but Qing Xuan himself did not.

If they killed Qing Xuan and seized the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler, who would dare to act arrogantly before the Sanqing?

Tongtian nodded woodenly and stood behind Yuanshi Tianzun, back-to-back with him.

At the same time, the Qingping Sword was already in his hand, his eyes fixed on the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler hovering in Mid-air, about to descend again.
