Three Skies, Take Action!

The East Sea was boundless. His first priority now was to reach the Primordial Continent.

After flying alone across the East Sea for tens of thousands of years, he finally encountered some living beings and clans on a few islands.

Most of these living beings had not even reached the Longevity Golden Immortal realm. Only a small number had attained the Golden Immortal level.

As for anyone with a higher cultivation than his, he had never encountered one.

From these living beings and clans, Jing Chu also learned a little about events in the Primordial World.

At present, the Demon Clan ruled the heavens while the Witch Clan ruled the earth. The Sages had yet to emerge. Though the Witch and Demon Clans had their frictions, war had not fully erupted between them.

"Before long, though, the entire Primordial World will enter the age of the Sages.

"Then the Witch-Demon War will break out, and heaven and earth will once again be plunged into a great tribulation."

Once one became tainted by the tribulation's fate, even a Quasi-Sage would have no chance of escape. In the end, they would only turn to ash within the great calamity.

Having missed Hongjun's lectures, Jing Chu's foremost priority for a stable path ahead was to join one of the great sects. Becoming a disciple of the Three Pure Ones was the best choice.

Taiqing Laozi practiced tranquility and inaction. Though he established his lineage after becoming a Sage, he accepted only one disciple: Xuandu Grand Magus.

Yuqing Primordial was arguably Jing Chu's best choice. After all, he was known as the most protective of his disciples among the Three Pure Ones, even willing to personally intervene for their safety.

Besides, given Jing Chu's innate foundation, Primordial Heavenly Venerable would surely not refuse him. He had transformed from the Purifying World White Lotus, a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. He was a bona fide Innate Divine Being; had he transformed earlier, he might well have been one of the three thousand guests of Purple Cloud Palace.

As for High Pure Tongtian, Jing Chu knew that anyone with affinity could enter his lineage. He was undoubtedly the easiest future Sage from whom to seek discipleship.

Jing Chu rather liked that free-spirited Sage, but when it came to taking a master, he still could not compare to Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Aside from the Three Pure Ones, there were three other Sages, but none of them were within Jing Chu's considerations.

Nüwa was elusive beyond measure.

Before becoming a Sage, no one knew her whereabouts. The odds of encountering her on the Primordial Land were practically nonexistent.

As for the two from the west, there was no need to say more.

Jing Chu seriously doubted whether, if he went there with his innate foundation, they would directly send his True Spirit into reincarnation and convert both him and the Purifying World White Lotus.

He would become one of the Western Sect's foundations. Given how impoverished those two western Sages were, they might very well do such a thing.

Thus, Kunlun Mountain, where the Three Pure Ones now resided, was his best choice.

With a thought, he crossed hundreds of millions of miles in an instant.

Jing Chu, who had been wholeheartedly hurrying onward, suddenly stopped in midair. His divine sense, which had been continuously extending outward, had detected the fluctuations of a battle.

Boom!

Two golden flood dragons, each with a colossal body a thousand zhang long, radiated overwhelming baleful aura. That aura was terrifying, one yin and one yang. Pure destructive intent blanketed a million-mile radius as their coiling bodies churned the boundless sea.

Under the oppression of the two golden flood dragons' baleful aura, three clouds of different colors and a wisp of clear wind were fleeing in disarray.

"What powerful baleful aura. These two Golden Flood Dragons have both reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. They do not seem to be conventional branches of the Dragon Clan either. They are more like Innate Living Beings whose true forms are Golden Flood Dragons."

The violent baleful aura swept the waves toward Jing Chu.

Jing Chu had no intention of retreating. Instead, he watched with great interest. He merely pointed a finger forward, and the wind and waves instantly stilled. All violent baleful aura that approached him was directly purified, turning completely into the purest innate spiritual energy.

After doing all that, his gaze could not help but shift toward the wisp of clear wind and the three clouds.

Four Innate Living Beings who had yet to transform: clear wind, clouds, and the two Golden Flood Dragons pursuing them.

Could these be the famed future God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, and the Three Skies, along with the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors controlled by the Three Skies?

Looking at the Three Skies and Zhao Gongming fleeing so miserably now, it was hard to imagine that they would become such renowned mighty figures in the future Investiture War.

In the future Investiture War, Zhao Gongming would wield twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and defeat several of the Exposition Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals in succession. He would even beat Dipamkara, the Exposition Sect's vice leader, until he had no way to fight back.

Who was Dipamkara? He was an ancient mighty figure of the Primordial World, one of the three thousand Purple Cloud Palace guests, and after the Investiture of the Gods War, he would become the Past Buddha, one of Buddhism's Three Buddhas.

Had Lu Ya not ultimately used the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book to ambush him, Zhao Gongming alone might have left the entire Exposition Sect unable to cope.

The Three Skies' achievements were even more formidable than those of their brother, Zhao Gongming.

They set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation and directly stripped all Twelve Golden Immortals of the Three Flowers Above Their Heads and the Five Qi Within Their Chests, reducing them to mortals.

In the end, they even drew the personal intervention of a Sage.

Zhao Gongming and the Three Skies were all disciples of the Jie Sect. If he saved them, he would forge karma with the four of them.

Through them, he would surely be able to quickly find Kunlun Mountain, where the Three Pure Ones resided.

With that thought, Jing Chu acted without hesitation.

"Fellow Daoists, do not panic. I will help you!"

The lower-grade innate Void-Piercing Sword immediately appeared in his hand. Holy radiance spread from his body, thoroughly purifying all the baleful aura emanating from the two Golden Flood Dragons.

As the Void-Piercing Sword slashed down, densely packed sword qi, like a celestial river descending from the heavens, cut directly toward the two Golden Flood Dragons.

As an Innate Divine Being, although he was currently only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, he felt no pressure at all facing the two Golden Flood Dragons alone.

Sword qi crisscrossed, immediately sealing off the entire sea and the surrounding space.

Having been tainted by too much baleful aura, the two Golden Flood Dragons were practically crazed. Facing the incoming sword qi, they instinctively intended to block it with their indestructible bodies.

But they had greatly overestimated themselves and underestimated Jing Chu. As the sword qi fell, their golden scales shattered in an instant, and blood sprayed through the air.

The two Golden Flood Dragons howled in agony, enraged beyond measure and filled with shock.

Their bodies, which they had always been so proud of, had actually been so easily torn apart.

Roar!

After suffering grievous injuries, the two Golden Flood Dragons immediately gave up pursuing Zhao Gongming and the Three Skies and charged at Jing Chu together.

"Senior, be careful!"

Having escaped death and gained temporary safety, Zhao Gongming and the Three Skies cried out in alarm when they saw the two golden flood dragons charging at Jing Chu together.

To them, who had yet to transform, these two Golden Flood Dragons were extraordinarily powerful and had both reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Although this senior who had suddenly appeared was also a Taiyi Golden Immortal, facing two enemies alone still put him at a clear disadvantage.

"No need to worry. Though we are all Taiyi Golden Immortals, there are still vast differences among Taiyi Golden Immortals!"

"Purifying World Divine Light!"
