The Two Sages Courted Death, Tribulation Followed Tribulation
Mount Kunlun.
"The Two Western Sages went to the Sun Star, presumably because they coveted the treasures there, hehe... how greedy!"
Yuanshi glanced at the Sun Star and said with a mocking smile, but a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
He had the same idea, but someone beat him to it.
As Sage, one would naturally not lower oneself to argue heatedly over a magical artifact.
Saving face is still important.
"It's alright, let them be."
Laozi's expression was calm as he stroked his white beard.
"It's just a magic weapon; we don't need it. The most important thing right now is to follow the will of Heaven and not neglect the tasks entrusted to us by the Dao Ancestor."
"The Witch-Demon Catastrophe have ended; it's time to prepare for the next Tribulation."
"The most important thing is to purge the Human Race and bring them back to their original path."
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi nodded slightly and smiled, "The Human Race without the Golden Crow can be easily defeated. With a little trickery, everything can be back on track."
"The Dao Ancestor's intention is to expedite the Tribulation, at which time the Primordial World will usher in a new era."
Laozi spoke calmly, and a part of the future trend gradually became clear.
"Excellent!" Yuanshi nodded.
Jieyin Zhun Ti broke through the formation and swaggered into the Sun Star, as if returning home, feeling more relaxed and carefree than ever before.
Let's see who dares to stop me now!
They arrived before the Ling Xiao Palace, Zhun Ti with satisfaction, marveling at it.
"This treasure is quite interesting. I can't tell what its grade is. It seems to be an acquired spiritual treasure, but it appears to be comparable to Innate Spiritual Treasure."
"It's perfect to take it back; it can serve as Dao Palace for my Western Sect."
He commented with great satisfaction, clearly considering the Ling Xiao Palace as his own.
"Indeed, this treasure is extraordinary and worthy of being the site of my sect's Dao Palace."
The Jieyin nodded in agreement.
Then, Zhun Ti a direct move, grabbing at the palace. His massive hand covered the sky and the sun, possessing unparalleled magical power.
They grabbed the treasure hall and lifted it up... but it didn't budge.
I tried again... but nothing happened.
"This..."
Zhun Ti was stunned for a moment, his face filled with astonishment. Although he had only acted casually, surely he shouldn't be unable to lift even a single magical weapon?
What's going on?
The Jieyin beside him gave his junior brother a strange look.
I was thinking, "Are you even capable?"
Even a magic weapon can't subdue it?
"This treasure is rather strange. Senior brother, let's work together to refine it!"
Zhun Ti's anger turned to joy, and a daisy-like smile bloomed on his face.
The more difficult it is to subdue this treasure, the more it proves its preciousness and power.
The stronger you are, the more excited I get!
"Good!"
Without Jieyin, Jieyin followed suit, attempting to refine the treasure hall.
After a while.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
They spent half a day refining it, only to find that the treasure hall was unusually sturdy and incredibly tough.
If it were an ordinary Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Sage could refine it in a matter of minutes. However, this strange magical artifact was so difficult for even two Sages to refine in a short time.
It's terrifying, it's outrageous.
"The value and power of this treasure are beyond our imagination. Why don't we take it back first and refine it slowly?"
Zhun Ti his advice, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he looked at the palace with excitement and appreciation.
"Hehe, junior brother, you and I are thinking the same thing," Jieyin said with a smile, also sensing the extraordinary nature of the Ling Xiao Palace.
If even they have difficulty refining a magical artifact, what level of magical artifact must it be?
Even Innate Supreme Treasure shouldn't be treated like this, right?
Immediately, they changed their approach, deciding not to refine the treasure hall first, but instead to find a way to move it away.
After some effort, they finally managed to uproot the palace.
"Haha, mission accomplished!"
Jieyin and Zhunti Zhun Ti to clap their hands in celebration.
At the same time, at the very moment the Ling Xiao Palace was uprooted.
Ling Xiao, far away in endless time and space, suddenly opened his eyes, a cold smile flashing in them.
"Fool, you'll be punished for taking my things..."
In the Primordial World, Penglai Immortal Island.
"These two shameless old bastards actually moved the Golden Crow's dojo?"
Tongtian stood in a mountain stream, observing the actions of Jieyin Zhun Ti.
Two lewd-looking Daoist priests with halos on their heads carried a precious palace and hurriedly left Sun Star, as if afraid someone would try to take it from them.
Do you think everyone is as indiscriminate as you?
Tongtian shook his head and chuckled, no longer paying attention, and continued with his own business.
This time, he came to Penglai Immortal Island again to take on disciples, but not the Three Xiao Sisters; he took on someone else.
With that thought, he took a step and entered an underground spirit mine.
The Three Immortal Islands were formed from fragments of Chaos at the beginning of creation, and are rich in resources and spiritual energy.
The underground minerals are the source of spiritual energy.
Tongtian ventured deep into the spirit mine, sinking continuously until he reached its very center, a place radiant with golden light and brimming with Jin Ling energy.
At the center of countless piles of spiritual ore, there was a golden ore with an Innate Dao Body that was beginning to take human form, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy around it.
Tongtian looked on with satisfaction. "The elemental root of metal in the Five Elements—this foundation is indeed quite good."
After he takes human form, he will become an exceptional disciple.
"Since they haven't yet taken human form, I'll go and recruit other disciples who are destined to become disciples."
Tongtian thought to himself, and did not interfere with Jin Ling's transformation.
There are other disciples waiting for him to take them in; it's not too late for him to come back after he's finished.
In the Primordial World, ever since the establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, countless souls and beings who perished in the Tribulation have begun to reincarnate one after another.
As the Dao Lord of the Asura path, Minghe was experiencing both pain and pleasure. At least Houtu gave him some benefits and didn't push things too far. In fact, even if she hadn't given him these benefits, Minghe wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.
The painful thing was that he watched helplessly as Houtu attained sainthood in his own territory, while he himself was like someone carrying a golden bowl and going out to beg for food.
After realizing it too late, I was filled with regret.
He endured countless vicissitudes and wasted countless ages, seeking only the supreme and highest holy position.
In the end, watching one's former fellow practitioners become saints while one remains stuck in the same place is a pain that is hard to describe.
"Hmph... Yuanshi promised Laozi that as long as I help the demon race, he will help me become a saint afterward. Although the demon race is gone, it has nothing to do with me."
"I hope you won't go back on your word."
The Minghe lies dormant in the Nether Sea of Blood, watching endless souls traverse the Yellow Springs Road and enter the Reincarnation, filled with both resentment and countless thoughts.
This is definitely not the life he wants. Does he think an Asura Lord can just get rid of him?
Impossible.
His sole purpose in life was to become a saint.
"Laozi, Yuanshi is playing dumb with me, thinking this will get away with it?"
"If you won't come to me, then I'll come to you personally. As a disciple of the Dao Ancestor and one of the Six Sages of Heaven and Earth, I wouldn't go back on my word, would I?"
Thinking of this, Minghe decided to take a risk, slowly rose up, walked out of the Nether Sea of Blood, and disappeared.
The vast Six Paths of Reincarnation continues to operate, with each reincarnated spirit flying towards the Primordial World to embark on a new journey.
