The Astonishment of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Taiqing and Yuanshi Go to the Purple Firmament Palace Again.

Eight Views Palace, First Sun Mountain.

The Supreme Purity Sage was meditating in the place where he cultivated.

Suddenly, the Supreme Purity Sage sensed that something important seemed to have vanished.

At once, the Supreme Purity Sage swept his powerful Primordial Spirit toward his storage space.

In an instant, the Supreme Purity Sage discovered that the Kongtong Seal, the human race's treasure of merit and fortune, had disappeared.

The Supreme Purity Sage opened his eyes, a cold gleam flashing through them.

The space before the Supreme Purity Sage 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 a treasure of the human race's merit and fortune.

And the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race had once held the Kongtong Seal.

Could the Kongtong Seal hold some secret even I do not know???

At once, the Supreme Purity Sage vanished directly from the secret chamber.

In the void 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 abruptly 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, all eight of them asked in confusion.

Just as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were filled with doubt, the Supreme Purity Sage's angry voice rang out.

"Hmph, Fuxi, are you not planning to give me an explanation?"

Fuxi said in a deep voice, "Supreme Purity Sage, what does this sovereign need to explain to you?"

The Supreme Purity Sage said coldly, "Hmph, Fuxi, explain what? You know full well."

Fuxi said, "Supreme Purity Sage, this sovereign does not know what riddles you are speaking in."

The Supreme Purity Sage said with a face full of rage, "Fuxi, I advise you to hand over the Kongtong Seal."

"Otherwise, when the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation arrives, I will not concern myself with whether your human race lives or dies."

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were startled inwardly. They thought, "What? Another tribulation of an era 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 karma."

Then Fuxi said, "Supreme Purity Sage, in ancient times, you used schemes and plots 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 a treasure of the human race's fortune and merit. Do you dare swear to the Heavenly Dao that this matter has nothing to do with your human race?"

Fuxi said in a deep voice, "Supreme Purity Sage, why should this sovereign swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao?"

"This matter had nothing to do with us from the start. The Kongtong Seal was lost from 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 within Fire Cloud Cave.

With a flash, the Supreme Purity Sage vanished directly into the void.

Jade Void Palace, Kunlun Mountain.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat cross-legged upon a cloud bed in the void, 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 beyond the great hall of Jade Void Palace.

Inside the hall, Yuanshi Tianzun, seated upon a bed in the void, showed a look of surprise.

Yuanshi Tianzun's figure vanished directly from the cloud bed in the void.

Outside the hall, just as the Supreme Purity Sage was about to enter, space rippled, and Yuanshi Tianzun appeared out of thin air before him.

Seeing the Supreme Purity Sage's expression, Yuanshi Tianzun asked somewhat doubtfully, "Senior Brother, what is wrong?"

The Supreme Purity Sage said, "Junior Brother, the Kongtong Seal, the human race's treasure of fortune and merit, has been lost from my possession."

Yuanshi Tianzun said in surprise, "Senior Brother, aside from the Dao Ancestor—"

"Who in the Primordial World could silently steal the Kongtong Seal from your hands?"

The Supreme Purity Sage said, "Junior Brother, that is precisely what perplexes me."

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Senior Brother, do you have anyone you suspect?"

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, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation is imminent. Should we inform the Dao Ancestor of this?"

The Supreme Purity Sage said, "We certainly must inform the Dao Ancestor."

"Otherwise, if the Dao Ancestor's wrath descends, we will not be able to bear it."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded.

Both the Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun understood this well.

The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation was a plan the Dao Ancestor had plotted for a long time. No one was permitted to disrupt it.

Even the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao did not dare defy Hongjun's decree.

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Since that is so, Senior Brother, let us go to the Purple Firmament Palace at once."

The Supreme Purity Sage said, "Very well."

With that, Yuanshi Tianzun and the Supreme Purity Sage departed directly.

Jade Capital Mountain, beyond the Thirty-Third Heaven.

The Purple Firmament Palace stood atop the mountain's peak.

At that moment, two figures streaked over from afar at tremendous speed, arriving outside the gates of the Purple Firmament Palace.

They were none other than the Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Upon 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 an urgent matter!"

The moment their words fell, a majestic voice rang out from within the Purple Firmament Palace.

"Supreme Purity, Yuanshi, what matter brings you before me???"

The Supreme Purity Sage hurriedly said respectfully, "Dao Ancestor, it concerns the human race's fortune-and-merit supreme treasure, the Kongtong Seal."

As soon as the Supreme Purity Sage finished speaking, the gates of the Purple Firmament Palace suddenly opened.

"Since that is the case, Supreme Purity, Yuanshi, enter."

The Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun said respectfully, "Yes, Dao Ancestor!"

With that, the Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun entered the Purple Firmament Palace.

Deep within the Purple Firmament Palace, Hongjun sat cross-legged in midair, his eyes closed as he rested his spirit.

At this moment, the Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun arrived before Hongjun.

The Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun bowed respectfully to Hongjun.

"Disciples pay respects to the Dao Ancestor!"

Hongjun said, "Rise."

"Supreme Purity, explain exactly what happened with the human race's fortune-and-merit supreme treasure, the Kongtong Seal."

The Supreme Purity Sage said, "Dao Ancestor, this is what happened..."

Immediately afterward, the Supreme Purity Sage carefully recounted to Hongjun how the human race's fortune-and-merit supreme treasure, the Kongtong Seal, had vanished into thin air.

After hearing this, Hongjun wore an astonished expression.

Hongjun said calmly, "Supreme Purity, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation has now begun."

"The Heavenly Dao is in chaos. Even when I deduced the matter just now, I found nothing but a fog."

The Supreme Purity Sage said in shock, "What? Even you, Dao Ancestor, cannot deduce any information?"

Hongjun nodded. "Correct!"

The Supreme Purity Sage hurriedly asked, "Dao Ancestor, what should we do now?"

"In the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, the human race is the protagonist of this tribulation."

"At such a critical juncture, the human race's fortune-and-merit supreme treasure, the Kongtong Seal, has vanished into thin air."

"Could this... affect the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation?"

Hongjun said, "There will be an effect, but it is not a major problem."

"Before absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are futile!"

The Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun nodded.

Hongjun said, "Supreme Purity, Yuanshi, do not concern yourselves with the Kongtong Seal."

"The most important matter for you now is to accelerate the plan."

The Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun said respectfully, "Yes, Dao Ancestor!"

Hongjun said, "Supreme Purity, Yuanshi, you may leave."

The Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun bowed respectfully. "Yes, Dao Ancestor. This disciple takes his leave!"

With that, the Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun left the Purple Firmament Palace.
