The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors' Astonishment, Supreme Purity and Yuanshi Visit the Purple Firmament Palace Again
Eight Views Palace, Shouyang Mountain.
The Supreme Purity Sage was meditating in seclusion where he cultivated.
Suddenly, the Supreme Purity Sage sensed that something important seemed to have vanished.
At once, his powerful primordial spirit swept through his storage space.
In an instant, the Supreme Purity Sage discovered that the Kongtong Seal, the human race's merit and destiny treasure, had disappeared.
The Supreme Purity Sage opened his eyes, and a cold gleam flashed through them.
The space before him shattered in an instant from the shock.
The Supreme Purity Sage rose to his feet and said coldly, "Hmph, what audacity!"
"Someone actually dared to set their sights on me and secretly steal the Kongtong Seal!"
"Who could it be???"
"Could it have been Fuxi, one of the Three Sovereigns of the human race, who secretly stole the Kongtong Seal?"
For a moment, the Supreme Purity Sage immediately thought of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race.
After all, the Kongtong Seal was the human race's merit and destiny treasure.
Moreover, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race had once controlled the Kongtong Seal.
Could the Kongtong Seal possess some secret that even I do not know about???
The Supreme Purity Sage immediately vanished from the secret chamber.
Outside Fire Cloud Cave in the Buzhou Mountains, the Supreme Purity Sage's figure appeared out of thin air.
At the same time, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors within Fire Cloud Cave suddenly opened their eyes.
"Why has the Supreme Purity Sage come to Fire Cloud Cave with such fury on his face?"
Fuxi, the Heavenly Sovereign; Shennong, the Earthly Sovereign; Xuanyuan, the Human Sovereign; and the five Emperors—the eight of them—asked in confusion.
Just as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were filled with doubt, the Supreme Purity Sage's furious voice rang out.
"Hmph, Fuxi, are you not going to give me an explanation?"
Fuxi said gravely, "Supreme Purity Sage, what do I need to explain to you?"
The Supreme Purity Sage said coldly, "Hmph, Fuxi, explain what? You know perfectly well."
Fuxi said, "Supreme Purity Sage, I do not know what riddles you are speaking in."
The Supreme Purity Sage said with a furious expression, "Fuxi, I advise you to hand over the Kongtong Seal."
"Otherwise, during the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, I will not care whether your human race lives or dies."
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were startled inwardly. What? Another great tribulation has erupted?
"Now that the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation has begun, the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World is in chaos. Even Fuxi cannot deduce any heavenly secrets."
"Under the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, no expert in the Primordial World can deduce heavenly secrets or karmic causality."
Fuxi then said, "Supreme Purity Sage, in ancient times, you used schemes to seize the Kongtong Seal from Yu Emperor."
"Now you are a Heavenly Dao Sage of the Primordial World. Who could steal the Kongtong Seal from you without a sound?"
The Supreme Purity Sage said coldly, "Fuxi, the Kongtong Seal is the human race's destiny and merit treasure. Do you dare swear upon the Heavenly Dao that this has nothing to do with your human race?"
Fuxi said gravely, "Supreme Purity Sage, why should I swear a Heavenly Dao oath?"
"This matter had nothing to do with us in the first place. The Kongtong Seal was lost while it was in your hands. What does that have to do with us?"
The Supreme Purity Sage sneered. "Heh, heh, Fuxi, I hope you will not regret this!"
After saying that, the Supreme Purity Sage cast a cold glance at the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors inside Fire Cloud Cave.
With a flash, the Supreme Purity Sage disappeared directly into the void.
Jade Void Palace, Kunlun Mountain.
Yuanshi Tianzun sat cross-legged upon a cloud bed suspended in the air, explaining matters concerning the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation to the Twelve Golden Immortals.
At that moment, the Supreme Purity Sage's figure appeared out of thin air outside the main hall of Jade Void Palace.
Inside the hall, Yuanshi Tianzun, seated upon his bed in the void, revealed a surprised expression.
Yuanshi Tianzun's figure vanished directly from the cloud bed.
Outside the hall, just as the Supreme Purity Sage was about to enter, space rippled, and Yuanshi Tianzun appeared before him out of thin air.
Seeing the Supreme Purity Sage's expression, Yuanshi Tianzun asked somewhat puzzledly,
"Senior Brother, what happened?"
The Supreme Purity Sage said, "Junior Brother, the Kongtong Seal, the human race's destiny and merit treasure, has been lost from my possession."
Yuanshi Tianzun said in astonishment, "Senior Brother, aside from the Dao Ancestor—"
"Who in the Primordial World could silently steal the Kongtong Seal from you?"
The Supreme Purity Sage said, "Junior Brother, that is precisely what puzzles me."
Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Senior Brother, do you have anyone in mind?"
The Supreme Purity Sage shook his head. "Other than the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race, I truly cannot think of anyone else capable of this!"
After hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment.
Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Senior Brother, with the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation imminent, should we report this matter to the Dao Ancestor?"
The Supreme Purity Sage said, "We certainly must inform the Dao Ancestor."
"Otherwise, if the Dao Ancestor becomes enraged, we will not be able to bear the consequences."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded.
Both the Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun knew this well.
The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation was a plan the Dao Ancestor had devised long ago. No one was allowed to disrupt it.
Even the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao dared not defy Hongjun's decree.
Yuanshi Tianzun said, "In that case, Senior Brother, let us make a trip to the Purple Firmament Palace now."
The Supreme Purity Sage said, "Very well."
After saying that, Yuanshi Tianzun and the Supreme Purity Sage departed at once.
Jade Capital Mountain, beyond the Thirty-Third Heaven.
The Purple Firmament Palace stood atop the mountain.
At that moment, two figures sped over from afar and arrived outside the gates of the Purple Firmament Palace.
They were none other than the Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun.
After arriving, the Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun respectfully bowed toward the Purple Firmament Palace.
"Disciple Supreme Purity, disciple Yuanshi, request an audience with the Dao Ancestor on urgent business!"
The moment their words fell, a majestic voice came from within the Purple Firmament Palace.
"Supreme Purity, Yuanshi, what matter brings you to seek an audience with me???"
The Supreme Purity Sage hurriedly said respectfully, "Dao Ancestor, it concerns the Kongtong Seal, the human race's destiny and merit treasure."
After the Supreme Purity Sage finished speaking, the gates of the Purple Firmament Palace suddenly opened.
"If that is so, Supreme Purity and Yuanshi, enter!"
The Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun respectfully replied, "Yes, Dao Ancestor!"
After saying that, the Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun entered the Purple Firmament Palace.
Deep within the Purple Firmament Palace, Hongjun sat cross-legged in the void with his eyes closed, resting his mind.
At this time, the Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun arrived before Hongjun.
The Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun bowed respectfully to Hongjun.
"Disciples greet the Dao Ancestor!"
Hongjun said, "Rise."
"Supreme Purity, tell me exactly what happened to the Kongtong Seal, the human race's destiny and merit treasure."
The Supreme Purity Sage said, "Dao Ancestor, this is what happened..."
The Supreme Purity Sage then carefully recounted to Hongjun how the Kongtong Seal, the human race's destiny and merit treasure, had vanished into thin air.
After hearing this, Hongjun revealed a surprised expression.
Hongjun said indifferently, "Supreme Purity, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation has now begun."
"The Heavenly Dao is in chaos. Even when I deduced it just now, all I found was a haze."
The Supreme Purity Sage said in shock, "What? Even you, Dao Ancestor, cannot deduce any information?"
Hongjun nodded. "That is correct!"
The Supreme Purity Sage hurriedly asked, "Dao Ancestor, what should we do now?"
"The human race is the protagonist of this great tribulation, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation."
"Yet at such a critical moment, the Kongtong Seal, the human race's destiny and merit treasure, has vanished into thin air."
"Could this affect the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation?"
Hongjun said, "There will be some impact, but the problem is not significant."
"Before absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are futile!"
The Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun nodded.
Hongjun said, "Supreme Purity, Yuanshi, you need not concern yourselves with the Kongtong Seal."
"Your most important task now is to accelerate the plan."
The Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun respectfully replied, "Yes, Dao Ancestor!"
Hongjun said, "Supreme Purity, Yuanshi, you may leave."
The Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun bowed respectfully. "Yes, Dao Ancestor. These disciples take their leave!"
After saying that, the Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun left the Purple Firmament Palace.
