Jade Cauldron, Get Out Here and Die!

"Tiangang!"

Jiang Yun's voice was cold.

"Present!"

"Immediately lead the Heavenly River Navy back to the Water Palace for temporary rest and reorganization."

"After this battle, the Outer-Realm Heavenly Devil race has been greatly weakened. They will not return anytime soon."

"Have the soldiers use this time to recuperate!"

"Yes, sir!"

Tiangang General did not dare ask any questions and immediately departed after accepting the order.

After the army left, Jiang Yun gazed toward the direction of the Primordial Continent.

At the same time.

Primordial World.

Jade Spring Mountain, Golden Dawn Cave.

Immortal qi lingered in the air, and the place was blessed with spiritual beauty.

Taiyi Zhenren sat upon a meditation cushion, earnestly trying to persuade Jade Cauldron, whose expression was dark and gloomy. "Junior Brother, how muddleheaded of you!"

"How could you act so rashly?!"

Taiyi Zhenren's face was filled with helplessness and lingering fear. "The Zhou Tian Star Dou Grand Array in the Ancient Star River is a barrier against the Outer-Realm Heavenly Devils. It concerns the safety of all living beings in the Primordial World!"

"For the sake of venting your personal resentment, you actually dared tamper with that grand array and trigger a Demonic Tide!"

"Fortunately, this time did not result in an earth-shattering catastrophe. Otherwise—if boundless Karmic Power descended, how could you and I possibly bear it?!"

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing this, Jade Cauldron slammed his hand onto the table and flew into a rage!

"Senior Brother! Say no more!"

"That brat Jiang Yun has cultivated for barely over a thousand years. Just because he has encountered a few opportunities, he dared humiliate me in public!"

"Now Haotian has favored him and granted him some damn title of Marshal Tianpeng. He certainly thinks he is impressive!"

Jade Cauldron's eyes were filled with venom and jealousy. "That boy possesses extraordinary comprehension. If he continues commanding the Heavenly River Navy, then over time, with Merit and fortune gathering upon him, he will surely become a grave threat to our Clarifying Sect!"

"I merely wanted to use the Outer-Realm Heavenly Devils to teach him a lesson!"

"Senior Brother Taiyi," Jade Cauldron said, consumed by fury and stripped of all his usual composure, "there is no need for such alarmist talk."

"The Ancient Star River has the means of the various Sages protecting it. Even if experts of the Heavenly Devil race descend, the Sages will naturally act."

"Could a mere Demonic Tide truly overturn the heavens?"

Taiyi Zhenren shook his head in fury. "You—you are simply beyond reason!"

But Jade Cauldron dismissed it with utter contempt. He took a fierce gulp of immortal wine and said hatefully, "The Clarifying Sect is Pangu's orthodox lineage! How can we allow ourselves to be humiliated by a third-generation disciple of the Interception Sect?!"

"If that boy is not eliminated, my inner demon will never fade!"

"What has been lost is not merely Jade Spring Mountain's honor, but the dignity of the Clarifying Sect as well!!"

"Hmph! If he dares come to my door, he will be courting death!"

A ruthless gleam flashed through Jade Cauldron's eyes. "Here on Jade Spring Mountain, I have the protection of my master's lineage!"

"If Jiang Yun dares come, I will ensure he never returns!!"

"Boom!!!!"

Before Jade Cauldron's words had even faded!

"Crack—!"

With a deafening crash, the entire Golden Dawn Cave on Jade Spring Mountain suddenly trembled!

"What?!"

Jade Cauldron and Taiyi abruptly looked up, their expressions changing drastically!

Outside the window, the clear sky had transformed in an instant, as though heaven and earth themselves had been remade!

Night had fallen!!

No!

That was not night!

More precisely, it was endless starlight!

Billions upon billions of stars descended, transforming into a vast and boundless, terrifying nebula that completely enveloped Jade Spring Mountain!

Heaven and earth were overturned! Yin and yang fell into chaos!

A terrifying killing intent, enough to suffocate all who felt it, descended with a roar!

Then!

A cold voice came from beyond the Nebula Grand Formation.

It echoed throughout all of Jade Spring Mountain!

"Jade Cauldron!"

"Get out here and die!!"

"Hiss!!!"

"What is going on?!"

"Jade Spring Mountain?! Isn't that the cultivation grounds of Jade Cauldron, one of the Clarifying Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals?!"

"What kind of formation is this?! Its pressure is terrifying! It even carries traces of the Ancient Demon Race's Zhou Tian Star Dou Grand Array!!"

"That voice—is it Marshal Tianpeng Jiang Yun?!"

"What? Did I hear that right?! Jiang Yun, a third-generation disciple of the Interception Sect, has actually attacked the cave abode of Jade Cauldron, a second-generation disciple of the Clarifying Sect?!"

"Mad! Mad! Jiang Yun has completely lost his mind!!"

"This is no longer a simple personal grudge! He is trying to start a war between the Clarifying and Interception Sects!!"

In an instant!

Throughout the entire Primordial World, countless great cultivators who had been in secluded cultivation were alarmed by the terrifying formation fluctuations from Jade Spring Mountain!

Streams of incomparably powerful divine sense crossed space and gathered there at once!

When they clearly saw this unbelievable scene before them!

Every great power was dumbfounded!

A Golden Immortal!

Besieging the cave abode of a Daluo?!

This was unprecedented since the creation of heaven and earth!

"You insolent brat! How dare you act so brazenly!!"

Inside Golden Dawn Cave, Jade Cauldron was both shocked and enraged!

He had never imagined that Jiang Yun would truly dare come!

And that he would be so arrogant as to directly set up a grand formation, block the entrance, and curse at him?!

"Jiang Yun! You have gone too far!!"

With an angry roar, Jade Cauldron grabbed the [Immortal-Slaying Sword] and was about to charge out to fight for his life!

"Junior Brother, wait!"

Taiyi Zhenren grabbed him, his expression grave to the extreme!

"This formation—it is exceedingly strange! Its power is no less than ours!"

Taiyi Zhenren took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the shock in his heart as he flew out of the cave abode alongside Jade Cauldron.

"Nephew Jiang!"

Standing before the formation, Taiyi Zhenren called loudly through the endless nebula, "Our two sects both belong to the Dao Ancestor's lineage and are the orthodox Xuanmen!"

"The Sage's lineage must not be insulted!"

"Your actions today are far too overbearing!"

"If there is some misunderstanding, Nephew, please withdraw the formation for now. Let us sit down and discuss this properly. Do not harm the harmony between our two sects over such a small matter!"

Seeing how fierce the formation was, Taiyi Zhenren had no desire to fight Jiang Yun to the death.

So he simply took on the role of peacemaker.

However!

"A misunderstanding?!"

Jiang Yun's cold voice rang out from within the Nebula Grand Formation!

"Uncle-Master Taiyi makes that sound quite easy!"

"For his own selfish desires, Jade Cauldron secretly sabotaged the Zhou Tian Star Dou Grand Array in the Ancient Star River, causing the Outer-Realm Heavenly Devils to launch a massive invasion!"

"A Demonic Tide of millions erupted! Nine Great Luo Heavenly Devils descended!"

"If not for my grandmaster manifesting his divine might and severely wounding the Heavenly Devil Ancestor at Peak Quasi-Sage, my Heavenly River Navy would already have been utterly wiped out!"

"At that point, the Demonic Tide would have swept across the Primordial World, and countless billions of living beings would have suffered devastation!"

"For such a monstrous disaster and boundless Karmic Power—"

"Uncle-Master Taiyi thinks a lightly spoken 'misunderstanding' is enough to sweep it aside?!"

"Today, this disciple wishes to ask Jade Cauldron whether he can bear this karmic debt!!"

"You—!"

Taiyi Zhenren was left speechless by those words, his face flushing red!

"Presumptuous!"

Jade Cauldron beside him had long since become uncontrollably enraged!

"Jiang Yun! Stop spouting such slander here!"

"A mere Golden Immortal junior dares speak recklessly of Heavenly Dao and karmic fate?!"

"Senior Brother Taiyi, why waste words with this little beast? Let me kill him first, then go apologize to Uncle-Master Tongtian!

Jade Cauldron had completely gone mad!

His cave abode had been blockaded by a junior!

Even if Jade Cauldron somehow won today's battle, his reputation would be utterly ruined and his dignity completely lost.

From this day onward, he was destined to be mocked by all living beings of the Primordial World for countless years!

"Jiang Yun! Die for me!!"
