Not long after.
Another leisurely Red-Dust Guest arrived at the ridge. Upon seeing the Twelfth-Grade World-Purifying White Lotus and the River Diagram and Luo Scripture, he too turned around without hesitation and slipped away.
Treasures might be good, but one had to live long enough to use them, didn't one?
Over the following ten thousand years.
This stretch of heaven and earth—
Many Red-Dust Guests came and went, along with junior cultivators who had attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit after the Sages began their lectures!
The vast majority of Red-Dust Guests left without hesitation.
Only a very small number—
Red-Dust Guests with an especially strong itch for excitement, and a few scraps of confidence in their own strength.
As well as a handful of young fools who did not know the height of heaven or the depth of earth, secretly remained in the surrounding lands.
They wanted to watch the show!
But they might not have been without thoughts of fishing in troubled waters!
As for that.
Dan Jing, inside the palace, simply chose to ignore them—
If they wanted to watch, then watch!
He had even been worrying about where to find an audience with enough weight!
But if anyone dared to stretch out a claw.
Dan Jing would let them taste the power of "great fortune," then chase them down and kill them without regard for anything else.
Anyone with the guts was welcome to try!
To say nothing of anything else.
Dan Jing's attainments in the Way of Heavenly Secrets were no worse than Fuxi's, that renowned grand diviner of the Primordial World.
Within heaven and earth—
There were not many who could escape his calculations!
Just as quite a few Red-Dust Guests and young cultivators silently waited to watch the show, while Dan Jing also waited for others to arrive.
Buzz!
A strand of Creation Immortal Light carrying the Dao rhythm of Great Luo arrived from afar and descended into the nearby lands.
Afterward.
Nuwa, dressed in flowing azure robes, peerlessly beautiful, sacred and noble, stepped out from that Creation Immortal Light.
"Hm?"
When Nuwa looked at the Twelfth-Grade World-Purifying White Lotus enveloping heaven and earth, as well as the River Diagram and Luo Scripture beneath it that had evolved into a grand formation, her brows could not help knitting together.
Within the shrouded heaven and earth—
Was precisely the place where she had clearly sensed the opportunity destined for her!
But the situation had turned somewhat bad.
Because that madman Dan Jing had arrived one step ahead of her!
She was not foolish.
Naturally, she understood Dan Jing's intention in directly setting the World-Purifying White Lotus and the two great spiritual treasures within this land!
It was nothing more than a warning to all cultivators—
This place was claimed first by me, Lord Dan Jing. All latecomers, get lost!
Frowning.
Nuwa sensed the calling and connection of that opportunity, countless thoughts churning in her heart—
Such a powerful pull of destiny was rare. Naturally, she was unwilling to give it up.
But when she thought of that madman Dan Jing's manner of conduct, as well as his absurdly formidable strength, Nuwa truly had no confidence that she could withstand his assault!
Moreover, a madman like this—
If she formed karmic grievances with him, who knew whether she would ever have peaceful days again?
After pondering for a moment.
The thought of giving up the opportunity arose in Nuwa's heart—
To battle a madman like Dan Jing and form karma with him over one opportunity, she felt it was not worth it!
Just as Nuwa was preparing to leave.
Whoosh!
A red auspicious cloud carried the smiling Red Cloud as he approached unhurriedly from afar, drawing near to the ridge.
Red Cloud had arrived.
Seeing Red Cloud arrive, Nuwa instantly suppressed her intention to leave.
Among the many Red-Dust Guests, Red Cloud's strength was not to be underestimated.
At the very least, he was among the first tier!
With Red Cloud added to the equation, they might not be unable to contend with Dan Jing for that opportunity.
Red Cloud arrived.
After glancing at the World-Purifying White Lotus and the River Diagram and Luo Scripture forming the array, he immediately understood the situation and its meaning.
Afterward.
Red Cloud also looked toward Nuwa on the other side, meeting the gaze of Nuwa, who was likewise looking at him.
There was no need for words.
The two powerful cultivators came to a silent understanding that they would join forces to seize the opportunity.
His thoughts were nearly identical to Nuwa's—
In a one-on-one fight, it was best to stay as far away as possible. But with one more helper... it was not impossible to take a gamble!!
Of course.
The risk of fighting that madman Dan Jing for an opportunity was somewhat great, but if they turned and fled merely because the risk was great, then what Dao would they be cultivating?
If that were truly the case—
Great Luo would be their limit.
And just as Red Cloud and Nuwa were preparing to temporarily join forces!
Crash!
Three streams of clear qi drifted over from afar and arrived here in the blink of an eye!
The figures of the Three Pure Ones manifested between heaven and earth.
When they saw the Three Pure Ones arrive, and realized their goal was the same as theirs, Nuwa and Red Cloud were merely startled for a moment.
Then.
Both relaxed.
This time—
It was secure!
With the Three Pure Ones here, no matter how arrogant that madman Dan Jing was, he should still take the reputation of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage into consideration, right?
Not to mention that Nuwa and Red Cloud were here as well!
In the surrounding lands, there were also many Red-Dust Guests and young cultivators.
No matter how wildly arrogant you were, Dan Jing, could you really intend to fight everyone present all by yourself?
Impossible—
No matter how arrogant he was, there should be a limit!
The same thoughts.
Also arose in the hearts of the Three Pure Ones, who had arrived last—
Destiny had decreed that they had a share in this opportunity, so they had to obtain it!
Looking at the current situation, did Dan Jing still dare to monopolize it alone?
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible!
Among the Three Pure Ones, Tongtian was the one who could least tolerate others being more arrogant than himself. He was also straightforward by nature and unable to hide things in his heart. He frowned.
Seeing that Laozi and Yuanshi beside him said nothing.
Tongtian stepped forward and shouted loudly:
"Hey, you Daoist! Quickly remove the restriction! The opportunity in this place is connected to us, the Pangu Three Pure Ones. You cannot be allowed to enjoy it alone. Do not fail to appreciate kindness!"
Hiss!
Holy shit!
Those words...
So the Pangu Three Pure Ones were this kind of people?
After hearing Tongtian's words, not only Nuwa and Red Cloud, along with the Red-Dust Guests who had stayed to watch the show and even hoped to fish in troubled waters, were stunned.
Even Laozi and Yuanshi had not expected this.
They had thought that Tongtian's temperament was rather direct, and that his words might come out somewhat confrontational.
But they had never imagined—
Tongtian would speak so aggressively!
Although some conflict was bound to arise, once Tongtian said those words, the whole situation changed in flavor.
There was no need to think further.
Most of that madman Dan Jing's anger afterward would certainly be focused on their Pangu Three Pure Ones!
As for everyone else—
They likely would not help them share even the slightest bit of firepower!
Could they not see that Nuwa and Red Cloud had both already taken a slight step back?
Yuanshi's face darkened. He immediately stepped forward and shoved Tongtian, who was still preparing to toss out a few harsh words, behind himself.
If you did not know how to speak, then shut up!
At that.
Laozi said nothing, but his attitude was one of complete agreement—
Their third brother really needed some educating.
Ever since their birth, the Three Pure Ones' path had gone far too smoothly—far too smoothly indeed!
Afterward.
They needed to find an opportunity to let their third brother suffer a small setback and temper his nature!
