The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Ancestors, and the Tool-Person Hongjun

At this moment, the arrival of the Yin Yang Ancestor caused the tripartite stalemate to shift.

These three cultivators ceased their standoff.

Instead, they began to speak.

The first to speak was the exquisitely beautiful woman, radiating nobility.

"I am Yuan Feng!"

"I am the first cultivator in heaven and earth to arrive at this place!"

"This treasure rightfully belongs to me!"

As these words fell, the two middle-aged men laughed.

One of them, crowned with a pair of horns and exuding overwhelming dominance, spoke first.

"Hahaha, ridiculous!"

"Since when did the Primordial Wilderness observe a rule of first come, first served? If that were the case, This Seat would only need to have taken form a moment before you, and would you then be forced to leave the Primordial Wilderness?"

"I am Zulong!"

"A Supreme Treasure such as this should be controlled by my Dragon Clan!"

Another burst of laughter came from the other middle-aged man.

"Hahaha!"

"Daoist friend, the first half of your words hold some reason."

"But the latter part is biased!"

"I am Shi Qilin!"

"This treasure belongs to my Qilin Clan!"

Indeed.

These three cultivators were precisely the Ancestors of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans.

They could also be said to be the first of their respective clans to take form.

Not only the first to take form, their cultivation was naturally also the highest, each bearing the fate of their clan.

After the Array Diagram appeared, the Three Clan Ancestors set out at once, barely even thinking.

They had only one thought.

Seize the treasure!

The first to arrive at this place

was Yuan Feng.

Her cultivation at the peak of Da Luo, combined with the Phoenix Clan's talent for aerial mastery, allowed her speed to reign supreme across the Primordial Wilderness of that era!

No other Da Luo could compare to her.

Thus, she was also the first to reach the vicinity.

However, after arriving, she was unable to claim the Array Diagram at the first moment.

Not because she was unwilling, but because she could not.

For a time, she had no idea how to proceed.

This Array Diagram was too divine.

It contained Yin and Yang within, embracing all phenomena.

As if it could pacify everything, resolve everything.

Let alone obtaining the treasure—merely comprehending the Array Diagram here seemed capable of advancing one's cultivation.

Yet, before she could figure out a way to take the treasure, more cultivators arrived.

Two at once.

And their cultivation realms were in no way inferior to hers.

Thus.

Thus they stood in a standoff.

Until now.

"Hmph!"

Yuan Feng let out a cold snort, her face covered in frost.

At the same time.

She felt somewhat helpless.

Clearly, she herself knew.

Relying solely on "first come, first served" would not convince the other two.

Nor would it make them back down.

"If that's the case!"

"Then let's settle this with a fight!"

"Whoever wins, this Supreme Treasure belongs to them!"

"Agreed."

Zulong nodded.

"In the Primordial Wilderness, power reigns supreme!"

Shi Qilin did not refute either.

"The victor takes all—so it should be!"

For a moment.

The Three Clans Ancestors had battle intent blazing in their eyes.

A great war was about to erupt.

Seeing this.

The Yin Yang Ancestor's heart grew even more bitter.

These three fellows had completely ignored him!

Clearly, this Supreme Treasure was originally his!

This was utterly outrageous!

But...

Such was the Primordial Wilderness—without strength, one had no say.

His cultivation as the Yin Yang Ancestor was indeed slightly weaker compared to the Three Clans Ancestors.

Late Da Luo stage.

Originally, this gap could have been bridged with a Supreme Treasure, even slightly reversed.

But now the treasure was gone!

In other words.

If strength were to decide the treasure's ownership, he would leave empty-handed!

No!

He had to think of something.

At this moment.

The Yin Yang Ancestor's thoughts raced like lightning.

"This Seat is Yin Yang. Greetings to the three Daoist friends!"

"Regarding the ownership of this Supreme Treasure, This Seat has something to say."

"Now that the Tribulation Period has just passed!"

"Even if we do not do something to benefit the Primordial Wilderness, we should not stir up conflict for now, should we?"

"Three Daoist friends, how about considering another method?"

Upon hearing this.

The Three Clans Ancestors reined in their momentum somewhat.

They turned to look at Yin Yang.

Zulong frowned.

Stared at Yin Yang.

"Hmph!"

"This Seat does not see any method more reliable than fists!"

"Could it be that you also covet this Supreme Treasure?"

"If that's the case, This Seat advises you to disperse while you still can!"

"Otherwise..."

Zulong's words were full of threat, utterly undisguised.

As for the Supreme Treasure, he was determined to claim it.

At once, the Yin Yang Ancestor's breath hitched, nearly choking.

What did he mean by coveting?

That thing was originally mine, alright!

But there was no help for it.

Circumstances overpowered resolve; no matter how displeased, he could only swallow it.

"Daoist friend, do not be hasty."

"Even if This Humble One has no intention of joining the struggle, the three Daoist friends are of similar cultivation realms. For any one of you to seize the Supreme Treasure, it surely won't be easy, will it?"

"If latecomers arrive here, even the three Daoist friends may not necessarily obtain it!"

"Who knows, it might even benefit someone else!"

The Yin Yang Ancestor said this.

The Three Clans Ancestors were, of course, not foolish.

Even if the Yin Yang Ancestor hadn't spoken, they understood this reasoning.

But aside from fighting it out, was there any other way?

At this moment, the Yin Yang Ancestor looked up at the sky and laughed. "How about leaving it to Heaven's decree?"

Heaven's decree?

Hearing this, the Three Clans Ancestors exchanged glances.

They did not refute it.

Their opinions even unified.

Because this truly was a good method.

"Excellent!"

The Three Clans Ancestors spoke in unison.

It was considered an acknowledgment.

Seeing this, the Yin Yang Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief.

Hope rekindled in his heart.

In his view, no matter how the Supreme Treasure changed, it still had some connection to him.

Certainly more than it did to the Three Clans Ancestors.

If the Heavenly Dao rendered a judgment, the Supreme Treasure would most likely return to his hands!

As for how to make Heaven render a judgment...

A Great Oath!

The next instant, the Three Clans Ancestors spoke at the same time.

"Heavenly Dao above, Zulong requests the Heavenly Dao to adjudicate the ownership of the Supreme Treasure! Regardless of the outcome, Zulong shall bear no grievance!"

Of course, that was what they said; what they thought in their hearts

was another matter entirely.

Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin were much the same, issuing a Great Oath to the Heavenly Dao, requesting a judgment on the ownership of the Supreme Treasure.

For a moment, thunder rumbled in the sky, and a faint Dao Sound resounded.

The Heavenly Dao seemed...

Agreed?

However.

The Three Clans Ancestors and the Yin Yang Ancestor had no time to react.

Another anomaly arose!

Another Dao Sound suddenly appeared.

Vaguely.

It resembled thunder!

The moment the Three Clans Ancestors sensed it, they froze.

They were shocked into alertness!

"Two Heavenly Daos?"

For a brief instant.

They even wondered if they had misperceived it.

If it was an illusion.

But with their cultivation levels, it couldn't be false.

Moreover, it wasn't just one of them experiencing an "illusion."

It was all of them!

At this moment.

Everyone felt utterly shaken.

Even those who had not yet arrived.

Felt the same.

They all stopped in their tracks and looked up at the sky.

Terrified beyond measure.

Yet, they had clearly been shocked too early.

Because in the next instant.

The auras of the two Heavenly Daos continued to rise!

For a time.

Everyone felt as if a boulder was pressing down on their hearts.

Even the circulation of their Magic power had become sluggish.

How had the two Heavenly mights ended up in a standoff?

The Three Clans Ancestors endured the pressure.

Exchanging glances.

They could see the bewilderment and shock in each other's eyes.

Clearly.

None of them had expected that the Great Oath they had sworn would lead to this outcome.

It was utterly unheard of.

Extremely absurd.

"This..."

The Yin Yang Ancestor needed no further explanation.

He fell into silence.

At this moment.

In the Primordial Wilderness, any cultivator who could sense this place.

Could not remain calm.

They were nothing but lost.

Utterly lost.

Of course.

There was one exception.

That was Lei Jun!

To be precise, he was the one who had caused this situation in the first place.

Everything stemmed from him.

Actually.

At first, he was a bit stunned.

The change in the Array Diagram.

Was somewhat abrupt.

But soon, he understood.

Before the Dragon-Han Calamity ended, the Primordial Wilderness only had the Yin Yang Diagram.

That is, the Yin Yang Ancestor's companion Supreme Treasure.

It wasn't until the Dragon-Han Calamity ended.

That the Yin Yang Diagram transformed into the Taiji Diagram.

Before that.

There was no Taiji Diagram in the Primordial Wilderness.

However.

Lei Jun merged the Lunar Solar Force and opened the Taiji Dao within his body.

Which prematurely triggered a change in the Yin Yang Diagram.

The reason was simple.

Lei Jun was also the Heavenly Dao!

His Dao methods would be recorded in the Primordial Wilderness, available for all cultivators to comprehend!

Among them.

Naturally, the Taiji was included.

Thus.

It prematurely caused the Yin Yang Diagram to change!

And the Great Dao oath between the Yin Yang Ancestor and the Three Clans Ancestors served as an opportunity for Lei Jun.

A chance to transmit the Dao through the Primordial Wilderness as the Heavenly Dao.

Hence the scene before them now.

Two Heavenly Dao pressures clashed at the unfolding of the Taiji Diagram!

For a moment.

A storm was brewing.

A chilling, heart-stopping sensation clung to everyone's minds.

Even those not present.

Could not escape it!

Whether they wished it or not, they were forced out of seclusion.

And whether they had taken form or not.

They instinctively cast their Divine Sense upward.

A mix of shock and fear intertwined.

Two Heavenly Daos...

Could it be true?

Near Qingqiu Mountain.

Within an Innate Great Array.

Hongjun suddenly opened his eyes, his heart shaken violently.

Compared to other cultivators.

He was calmer.

Why?

Because he had long known of the existence of Lei Jun Heavenly Dao.

In fact.

The place he now occupied was where Lei Jun had passed before attaining the Dao.

This was no secret.

Of course, it wasn't something he had deduced himself.

But rather...

Seated on a high platform.

That stunning woman in purple robes, with a languid demeanor, had told him.

Hongjun was deep in thought.

A displeased, sharp voice rang out.

"Why have you stopped?"

"Continue the deduction!"

"The Dao traces here record the Three Bodies Technique, which is profoundly mysterious. If not for the fact that this Palace cannot use the Creation Jade Plate, old man..."

"Do you think this jade plate would still be in your hands?"

"Hurry up and continue!"

Little Fox said this.

At these words.

Hongjun's expression froze slightly.

Though he had heard similar words more than once.

Hearing them again.

He still couldn't help but feel stifled.

To think that he, a dignified peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivator.

Had ended up here as nothing more than a "tool" for someone else to deduce techniques!

It sounded absurd just to say it.

But there was no help for it.

Who could he blame for not being able to win against her?

This time, though.

He couldn't start right away, because the opposing auras of two Heavenly Daos had also reached this place.

Hongjun hesitated for a moment.

Then spoke:

"Celestial Fox Lady, could you tell this old Daoist what's happening outside? Why are two Heavenly Daos..."

"Why?"

Little Fox rolled her eyes.

Still, she did speak, her voice crisp.

But what she said.

Made Hongjun want to spit blood.

"This is Heaven's decree!"

"Alright!"

"You hurry up and deduce the Three Bodies Technique. If you can't deduce it, you won't be able to leave this place!"

"Oh, no, that's wrong! Even if you do deduce it, it's still not enough!"

"This Palace has to learn it too!"

"Mm, that's also Heaven's decree!"

At this moment.

Hongjun was utterly speechless.

Heaven's decree?

Just those two words, and that was it?

And that last sentence.

You added that in yourself, didn't you!
