Just as the atmosphere reached its peak tension.
"Buzz!"
Another anomaly appeared in the sky!
Endless auspicious light surged from the west, with myriad rosy clouds and descending Dao rhymes like a waterfall.
A golden cloud mass, enveloped in boundless auspicious energy, materialized out of thin air, illuminating all heavens, impervious to all laws!
Heavenly Celebration Cloud!
Primordial Heavenly Venerate stood atop the Celebration Cloud, clad in the Yuqing Dao Robe, his face filled with majesty, his eyes containing the Stars.
The moment he appeared, his icy gaze fell upon Xuandu, carrying undisguised anger.
"Xuandu!"
Primordial Heavenly Venerate spoke, his voice carrying a majesty that surpassed all beings, causing the Void to hum and vibrate.
"As a junior, how dare you disrespect Senior Uncle-Master so, speaking rudely and showing no regard for elders!"
He looked down from above and reprimanded:
"Is this how Tongtian taught you? You don't even understand the most basic etiquette?"
The sound waves rolled, containing the pressure of a Sage, pressing down on Xuandu.
If it were an ordinary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, under this pressure and questioning, they would have long ago collapsed mentally and knelt to beg for forgiveness.
However.
Xuandu stood at the peak of the Altar, Hunyuan Dao rhymes naturally flowing around him, silently dissolving the Sage's pressure into nothingness.
His expression was calm, but inwardly he sneered repeatedly.
Primordial Heavenly Venerate!
This guy really jumped out again!
Wherever there's excitement, he's sure to be there.
And he immediately started labeling him, bringing up etiquette and hierarchy, attempting to suppress him on a moral level.
Originally, out of respect for his Master Tongtian, he didn't want to make the situation too ugly.
After all, the Three Pure Ones were one; even if their ideologies didn't align, they were ultimately fellow disciples from the same origin.
But Primordial Heavenly Venerate was so relentless, repeatedly targeting him, and even directly questioning his Master Tongtian's teachings...
Then don't blame Xuandu for showing no mercy!
Whether the Human Race can cultivate concerns the future of the Myriad Human Race, and even more so, his own Great Dao!
If he can successfully pass down the cultivation methods and guide these billions of disciples onto the path of cultivation.
Relying on the feedback from the [Total Sum System], his cultivation will surely usher in a terrifying surge!
Thus, he will be able to break through to the peak of Golden Immortal of the Origin in the shortest time, or even... Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.
For this Opportunity, and for the continuation of the Human Race.
Today, let alone Primordial Heavenly Venerate, even if the Dao Ancestor himself came, he would dare to contend!
Just as Xuandu's thoughts turned resolute, preparing to risk everything and confront the Two Sages head-on.
A calm yet incredibly clear thought echoed silently deep within his mind.
"Do not forget the teachings of my Jie Sect."
It was the voice of Master Tongtian!
The voice was indifferent, revealing no hint of emotion!
Xuandu's heart first froze, then surged with indescribable ecstasy and stability!
Master's transmission at this moment clearly indicated his stance!
"Seize a sliver of hope for survival"!
This was the teaching of the Jie Sect, and it was precisely what he was fighting for the Human Race and himself right now!
Master was telling him to go all out, that the Jie Sect was his backing!
With Sect Leader Tongtian's tacit approval, or even support, Xuandu's last trace of worry completely vanished.
His confidence was fuller than ever before!
And at this moment, high in the sky.
Laozi and Primordial Heavenly Venerate saw Xuandu standing silently under Primordial's reprimand and pressure.
They thought he had ultimately become timid under the combined might of the Sages and chosen to retreat.
Laozi's gaze was indifferent, the slight Disturbance deep within his eyes slowly subsiding.
Primordial Heavenly Venerate's lips curled into an undisguised sneer.
He was, after all, just an insignificant junior who couldn't hold his own. Under the slightest pressure, his true colors were revealed.
In the surrounding void, the Spiritual Senses of those Great Wilderness Mighty Ones covertly probing this place also revealed similar thoughts.
"What a pity. I thought this Xuandu could be stubborn to the end..."
"After all, two Saints have personally arrived. He was lucky to repel the Demon Emperor. How could he dare to truly challenge a Saint?"
"It seems he's just an ordinary person. Everything before was just him relying on Sage Tongtian's influence."
"Let's disperse, let's disperse. There's nothing more to see."
Streams of Spiritual Sense, carrying disappointment and disdain, prepared to quietly withdraw.
Everyone thought this sudden confrontation between Saints would end with Xuandu's cowardly surrender.
However.
Just as all beings believed the situation was settled and Xuandu was about to submit.
Atop the Altar, the Green Clad Figure, who had been silent all along, suddenly moved.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze no longer directed at Laozi and Primordial Heavenly Venerate.
Instead, he looked towards the direction of the supreme Purple Heaven Palace!
Under Laozi's slight frown and Primordial Heavenly Venerate's renewed sharp gaze.
Under the anxious and bewildered eyes of the Myriad Human Race.
Under the sudden halt of the Spiritual Senses that were about to withdraw, now watching with startled suspicion.
Xuandu cupped his hands solemnly and slowly towards the direction of the Purple Heaven Palace.
His expression was calm, his eyes clear, yet they carried a world-shattering determination.
His voice was perfectly clear, word by word, echoing across the dead silent East Sea Coast, and also echoing deep within the hearts and minds of every Mighty One:
"Disciple Xuandu, may I dare to ask, my Two Martial Uncles..."
He paused slightly, his gaze suddenly shifting back, sweeping across Primordial Heavenly Venerate, and even more so across Laozi, whose face had slightly darkened.
He asked the question that was enough to make the Great Wilderness fall silent and the Saints change their expressions:
"If, according to what my Two Martial Uncles said, Master cannot teach his own disciple cultivation methods..."
"Then back then in the Purple Heaven Palace, when the Dao Ancestor lectured on the method of Severing Three Corpses to become a Saint..."
"Why did my Two Martial Uncles, you yourselves, also listen intently, and even... ultimately cultivate it?"
"!!!"
BOOM!!!
As soon as these words were spoken, they were like Chaos Divine Thunder, fiercely striking the Dao Heart of every living being who heard them!
Time seemed to completely freeze at this moment!
Space was frozen!
All things fell silent!
Everything, sounds, colors, flowing spiritual energy, pervading Dao rhythm...
Everything, under Xuandu's question, fell into absolute stillness!
Laozi's eternally unchanging indifferent face instantly froze, his pupils filled with disbelief!
The majesty and mockery on Primordial Heavenly Venerate's face were completely shattered, turning into shock and rage.
The Jade Purity Immortal Light around him vibrated violently as if out of control, and the auspicious energy of the Heavenly Celebration Cloud became chaotic!
The Spiritual Sense of the Great Powers who were originally preparing to retreat froze in mid-air, transmitting waves of extreme shock!
Below, the Three Ancestors Suiren Shi, Youchao Shi, and Ziyi Shi opened their mouths wide, trembling all over, almost unable to think.
Myriad humans looked up blankly. Although they didn't understand why, they could feel that something in heaven and earth had been... broken through by their Master with a single sentence!
Xuandu stood alone on the Altar, his green robes fluttering.
After asking this question, he said no more, merely calmly watching his two Martial Uncles whose expressions had drastically changed.
He knew that the question he had thrown out was a dead knot that no one could untie, nor dare to answer!
Just like when he had previously asked about Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Dao Ancestor Hongjun's origins.
Using your own spear to attack your own shield!
You won't let me teach my disciple?
Then why did you go to learn when the Dao Ancestor preached?
Laozi, Primordial Heavenly Venerate, Tongtian, Nuwa, Zhunti, Jieyin.
All six of them were people of the Xuanmen, disciples of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
