The boundless Boundary Sea.
A vast, gray-blue, humanoid Continent Land floated silently in the void.
All around it, billowing Primal Chaos Source Substance surged like a torrent, pouring into the many apertures upon this humanoid Continent Land.
The fontanelle, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, genitals...
At the Oral Aperture, Primal Chaos Source Substance surged without cease. From time to time, streaks of light flew in from afar and plunged straight inside.
At that moment, deep within the Oral Aperture.
Within the Yinxu Daoist Grounds, which guarded the Oral Aperture.
The ancestral shrine of the Baiqu Yin Clan.
Yin Tianzhi stood with his hands behind his back, his head slightly raised as he gazed at the memorial tablets of the Yin Clan's forebears, lost in thought.
Behind him, the eight Tribulation Crossing Patriarchs of the Yin Clan all wore grave expressions, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Just then, the Ninth Patriarch, Yin Penglai, spoke quietly:
"First Patriarch, this is no time to hesitate. Spirit Source Prefecture and the Illusory Emptiness Realm already intended to take down our Yin Clan last time. Had True Person Taiyi not burst onto the scene, we might already have fallen into their trap. This time, they've secretly joined forces again, and their target can only be us... If we ally with the Laowen Sect and Golden Water Marsh, we may be bargaining with a tiger for its skin, but at least we can put out the fire singeing our brows."
Yin Tianzhi continued to gaze quietly at the memorial tablets before him without saying a word.
Another Patriarch behind him could not help saying:
"Yes, First Patriarch. The Supreme True Buddha will come sooner or later. We all know that the Ruins of Zhangshi must bind together, or we simply won't have the strength to resist them.
