Thirty-Fifth Heaven, Taiqing Heaven.
"What's going on? Judging by Zhunti's appearance, he seemed to be in quite a sorry state!!"
"More than sorry. He was a Sage, yet the fluctuations in his aura were so intense."
"Pangu Hall was left behind by Pangu himself. Even I did not dare enter it!!"
The Sages—rather, the Three Pure Ones—had been paying close attention to Pangu Hall.
After all, they had invited the Witch Clan several times and paid a hefty price, only for the Witch Clan to brush them off.
If Zhunti succeeded,
wouldn't that be a slap in the Three Pure Ones' faces?
But seeing Zhunti rush out in such a flustered state, it seemed he had run into an immovable wall.
The Three Pure Ones exchanged glances and could not help but laugh.
Zhunti.
Weren't you fucking impressive?
You had made such solemn promises before the teacher. Let's see how you cleaned this up now.
Nuwa Palace.
"Zhunti, you got knocked down a peg, didn't you? Serves you right!!"
Although the Witch and Demon Clans were destined to undergo a calamity, Nuwa was still delighted to see Zhunti suffer a loss.
The West.
"Junior Brother, what happened to you?"
Seeing Zhunti return in a furious state, Jieyin was rather astonished.
Could there really be something in this world that even a Sage could not accomplish?
"Senior Brother, how are things progressing on your side?"
The moment Zhunti returned, his divine sense swept across the West.
Yet he found that the West remained as it had always been. There was no sign of Minghe or Zhen Yuanzi at all.
Helpless, Jieyin could only recount what had happened.
"The Three Pure Ones, again the Three Pure Ones!!"
Zhunti was exceptionally enraged.
It seemed he had fallen into the Three Pure Ones' open scheme.
They knew the Witch Clan was so difficult to deal with, yet they had still led him into this trap.
Damn it!!!
"Junior Brother, why don't the two of us go together?"
After hearing Zhunti's account, Jieyin's expression also turned grave.
"The two of us?"
When Zhunti heard that,
his old face could not quite bear it.
His skin was indeed thick, but only when it involved matters within his own capabilities.
Now he had to bring Senior Brother Jieyin along. If word spread, even he would feel his old face burning.
He was shameless, but he could not be this shameless, could he?
To deal with a race that had no Sage, two Sages were actually needed.
This???
Zhunti waged a fierce battle within himself.
If he went alone,
then even if he bullied juniors, he could still say, "You have an affinity with my West."
But now they were openly coming to the door with force, without the slightest pretense.
Wouldn't that be... an insult to the Buddha's dignity?
"Junior Brother, this is a task given by the Heavenly Dao Saints, and you swore with such confidence that you would do it."
"For the West to have achieved what it has today, we must keep pace with them."
Jieyin kept persuading Zhunti.
Although Zhunti handled all external affairs, Jieyin was the West's foremost Buddha.
Whenever there was uncertainty, Jieyin had the final say.
"Fine, I'll listen to Senior Brother!!"
Face?
Could face feed the West?
Once Zhunti thought about how he was doing this for the West, what was there left to hesitate over?
"Let's go!!"
Without another word, Jieyin grabbed Zhunti and charged toward the Witch Clan at Mount Buzhou.
The scene rather resembled children fighting and needing their parents to step in.
"What's going on? Zhunti failed, and now he has brought Jieyin along?"
"What did the West take itself for? Failing once, yet they wanted to try again."
"Could they be trying to imitate the Three Pure Ones and pay three visits to the thatched cottage?"
In Taiqing Heaven on the Thirty-Fifth Heaven, the Three Pure Ones were waiting to watch the West make fools of themselves.
Unexpectedly, they charged toward the Witch Clan once more.
"Why do I find the Witch Clan so adorable now!!"
Even Nuwa, standing beneath a hanging tree in Wa Sovereign Palace, could not help but smile.
At the same time.
Within Jade Spring Cave at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
Zhen Yuanzi looked at Ancestral Dragon within the seal.
"Junior, why have you come to find me??"
Though Ancestral Dragon was sealed within, he had no trouble speaking.
After all, he had been the protagonist of the Dragon-Han Calamity.
The Dragon Clan's entire fortune had already been mortgaged to atone for all its sins. Now, trapped within Dragon Spring Cave, aside from being unable to leave, he still had much room to act.
"Senior, I have come seeking your help."
"So long as you are willing to help me, I am willing to release you!!"
Zhen Yuanzi spoke with a solemn expression.
Establishing the Earth Sect, investigating the cause, gathering forces, slaughtering in all directions, and so on!!!
Many living beings believed Zhen Yuanzi was pursuing the Sage Realm.
But only he himself knew.
He wanted to use this method to uncover the truth behind Hong Yun's death.
After all, it concerned Primordial Purple Qi and now involved the struggle for Heaven and Earth.
The risk was enormous, but when heavenly secrets were in chaos,
it was also his only chance to search for the cause.
Sure enough.
Heaven did not disappoint the determined, and he finally uncovered the truth.
But when he exhausted every means to avenge Hong Yun, he discovered that relying on his own strength was still far from enough.
After all, whether it was Kunpeng or Minghe,
both had used the merits of the Primordial Wilderness in this struggle for supremacy over the Primordial Wilderness.
They had severed the three corpses and reached the late Quasi-Sage stage.
Above him stood the Demon Court, while below were Minghe and Kunpeng.
Though he had the support of the Human Race, the Human Sect did not support him.
At most, it would step in to stop the Western Sages when they appeared.
And that was only because it concerned the future interests of the Human Sect.
Such a situation gave Zhen Yuanzi a headache.
If this continued, there would certainly be no way to break the deadlock.
Thus, he could only borrow external strength.
And the first person Zhen Yuanzi thought of was Ancestral Dragon from the Dragon-Han Calamity.
As the leader of the three races and the strongest Ancestral Dragon,
when they had battled for supremacy in the Primordial World, Hongjun had yet to attain the Dao, and the present Sages did not exist.
If he could secure Ancestral Dragon's help, avenging Hong Yun would definitely not be a problem.
"Junior, it is not that I look down on you."
"With that tiny frame of yours, can you undo my seal??"
Ancestral Dragon's words were utterly impolite.
For throughout these countless years, who knew how many living beings had set their sights on him.
Yet they could not even break the seal, so what use were they?
This seal was no ordinary seal.
It sealed him, but it also served as a form of protection for him.
Though over the endless years, he had endured many things against his will.
He could even see the future at a glance.
Still, whenever someone coveting him appeared, Ancestral Dragon found it quite interesting.
After all, there were fewer and fewer opportunities to pass the time.
"Others might truly be unable to do it, but I may not be!!"
As he spoke, Zhen Yuanzi revealed the Book of Earth.
"The Heaven-and-Earth Embryonic Membrane!!"
At the sight of this treasure, Ancestral Dragon instantly became alert.
At the same time, Dijiang, who had been using the Chaos Pearl to nourish the Law of Strength, abruptly opened his eyes.
"Why are these two Western Sages so relentlessly persistent!!"
He had thought that by hiding inside Pangu Hall, he would avoid the Sages' schemes.
Yet after Dijiang performed a series of deductions, he could not calculate any answer.
"So that was it, so that was it. They truly refused to abandon their thieving intentions!!!"
Pangu's method of deducing the Great Dao easily calculated the entire sequence of events.
