Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy, so heavy you could hear a pin drop.
None of the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, and Jieyin expected that Xiao Tian would be so domineering as to slap Hongyun right in front of them.
The current Hongyun is not the same one from the Purple Cloud Palace back then. He is now Deva Path Sage, and also the person in charge of the Investiture of the Gods and assisting in the completion of the Great Tribulation.
Hongyun was completely stunned.
"How dare he hit me!"
"What right does he have to hit me?"
"How dare he hit me!"
With each self-reflection, Hongyun's anger grew, and her eyes began to turn bloodshot.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao Deva Path! What do you mean by this!" Hongyun gritted his teeth and roared in fury.
Zhunti was trembling. Although he really wanted to help Hongyun, he had a sharp eye and could tell that Xiao Tian was not someone to be trifled with. Standing up for Hongyun would put him in a bad position in the future.
Zhunti learned just how powerful Xiao Tian was during the battle in Chaos, and he vowed that he would never provoke Xiao Tian again unless he had a 100% guarantee.
Xiao Tian glanced sideways at Hongyun, but offered no explanation in the face of Hongyun angry questioning.
"Who agreed with and who disagreed with my suggestion just now?"
Seeing that Xiao Tian was ignoring him, Hongyun could no longer suppress the anger that was rising to the top of his head, and unleashed the holy might of the Purple Cloud Palace.
"This seat opposes..."
Before Hongyun could finish speaking, she screamed in agony, blood spurting from the corner of her mouth, along with broken teeth.
This time, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti finally understood what Xiao Tian meant by that slap.
Although this slap was simple, it utilized numerous laws and divine powers.
Space, time, and the Great Dao laws of power!
It has to be said that this slap completely shattered the dignity of Hongyun, this Sage.
"Regarding the proposal just now, who agrees and who disagrees?" Xiao Tian's gaze swept over the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti.
Taiqing Laozi said, "In the Chaos, the outcome of our battle is already clear. According to our previous agreement, you have won, and you should be free to dispose of the God-Slaying Spear as you see fit."
Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded, "Good."
"Good!" Jieyin and Zhunti dared not object, for if they were to receive a slap like Hongyun, they would lose all face.
"In that case, I've decided to let King Zhou continue to wield the King Zhou -God-Slaying Spear. However, I will also monitor King Zhou. If he is controlled by demonic forces and slaughters innocent lives, the God-Slaying Spear will be taken back and he will be punished. Also, fellow Daoists, if you discover anything, you may take action," Xiao Deva Path.
"Good." The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti nodded.
This answer was exactly what they expected.
At this moment, the Purple Cloud Palace was filled with Daoist energy, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared.
"Now that the War of Chaos is over, all the sages should return to their respective positions. However, during your War of Chaos, I sensed that Chaos Otherkind have entered the Primordial."
" Chaos Otherkind?" Xiao Tian, Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun, whose appearance was tidied and whose expression showed no joy or sorrow, were all surprised.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun explained, "The boundless Chaos gave birth to three thousand Innate Gods and Demons, Pangu being one of them, the most powerful in battle. Pangu, having heard of the Great Dao, wielded the Pangu Axe to create Chaos and the world. The other primordial Innate Gods and Demons launched a Innate Gods and Demons attack, attempting to stop him. Pangu fought valiantly against them, and many Innate Gods and Demons, buried in Chaos. Within Chaos, creation was unparalleled; the remnants of the Innate Gods and Demons, their blood and flesh, over time, also gave birth to the world and living beings..."
"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, is this Chaos Otherkind Sage Realm cultivator? You can't even detect its location?"
Hongjun looked at Xiao Tian and explained, "This Chaos Otherkind is very well hidden. If it hadn't broken through the membrane of heaven and earth and been sensed, it would have been impossible to detect it. We don't yet know its strength. With this anomaly intruding, the Great Tribulation is very likely to encounter many variables. I hope everyone will observe the anomalies in heaven and earth closely and find out the Chaos Otherkind."
"Fellow Daoist, you bear the greatest karmic burden in this matter, so I'm troubling you."
Xiao Tian was speechless. Was his karma the greatest?
" These Chaos Otherkind are plotting to invade the Primordial, and I have no choice but to eliminate them. Fellow Daoists, I shall take my leave now."
After Xiao Tian left, the other Sage also departed.
Before Hongyun left, he heard the Dao Ancestor's voice transmission.
" Hongyun, Fellow Daoist Xiao Deva Path's supernatural abilities are no less than mine. Just complete your mission; there's no need to overthink it."
Hongyun was startled, nodded slightly, and left Purple Cloud Palace.
The Great Shang was a battleground between the Western Zhou dynasties.
The God-Slaying Spear, in the eyes of many powerful beings, returned to King Zhou's domain.
"Hahaha! Thank you Saint Teacher, for Zhang Zheng for the Human Clan!" King Zhou's laughter echoed through the heavens and earth.
The morale of the Great Shang soldiers soared.
Although the soldiers of Western Zhou were excited and had even greater respect and love for the Human Clan's Saint Teacher Xiao Tian, their morale suffered a significant drop when they thought of King Zhou, who possessed the God-Slaying Spear, and his unparalleled Kamui power.
Some generals even considered defecting to the powerful Great Shang.
Seeing that his soldiers were in poor condition, Ji Fa ordered a retreat, returning to the camp and hanging up a sign of truce.
"You traitors of Western Zhou! I'm giving you a full month to think carefully about whether you will surrender and submit to the Great Shang, or resist to the death and continue being rebellious traitors!"
King Zhou's voice made Ji Fa so angry that he vomited blood.
"Is the fate of my Western Zhou truly sealed?"
Meanwhile, Hongyun returned to his cave dwelling in the Southern Continent of Jambu. Recalling what happened in the Purple Cloud Palace, he became angrier and angrier, and his hatred for Xiao Tian grew stronger.
Hongyun was originally Sage created by the Deva Path Dao. He had not severed his good and evil egos or his Three Corpses. After going through the Six Paths of Reincarnation and returning to the Primordial, his spiritual journey can be described as extremely rich.
" Xiao Tian! Don't let me Hongyun, find an opportunity!"
"What a delicious negative food! Do you want power?"
Hongyun frowned, her eyes turning cold as she scanned her surroundings.
Who are you?
"Stop looking, you can't see me. Even the Deva Path of this world can't find me. Answer my question, do you need power?"
"You're that Chaos Otherkind, aren't you! Hmph! You dare try to bewitch me! Get lost! Don't try to fathom my thoughts!"
"Delicious food, even more authentic now, hehehe..."
The Human Clan Saint Teacher Hall.
Since Xiao Tian returned, the will of Deva Path has quietly appeared, hoping that Xiao Tian can find that Chaos Otherkind as soon as possible.
Xiao Tian thought that the Primordial Heavenly Dao was quite tense, which meant that the Chaos Otherkind posed a threat to the Deva Path. Therefore, he had to take advantage of the chaos to get things done.
After all, he would never forget his true purpose in the Primordial world: his one and only ultimate mission!
To replace the Primordial Heavenly Dao and take control of the Primordial world!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Entry and exit to the Human Clan Holy City became strictly controlled. Xiao Tian did a good job of maintaining appearances, first and foremost Human Clan Holy City no Chaos Otherkind would appear in the Human Race Holy City.
Mount Shouyang, Eight Sceneries Palace.
Ever since the battle between the sages and Chaos, Yuanshi has had a knot in his heart that he cannot untie.
"Elder brother, what's your opinion on this battle of Chaos?"
Taiqing Laozi frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao Deva Path is very strong. His Attaining the Dao through Strength is truly terrifying. We are no longer on the same level as him. We should continue to treat him as before and not antagonize him."
"What you say is true, elder brother."
Yuanshi thought for a moment and said, "Elder brother, the progress of the Great Tribulation is still too slow. At this rate, it will probably take a very long time to pass through the Great Tribulation."
" Yuanshi, do not be confused." Taiqing Laozi gazed at Yuanshi, understanding what Yuanshi was thinking.
Yuanshi said, "Brother, you've already learned about the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. I'm afraid it can only be broken by the Four Sages. Tongtian couldn't possibly be unaware of this technique, yet he kept it hidden, showing he doesn't treat us as brothers at all. If it weren't for the battle against Fellow Daoist Xiao Deva Path, who knows when he would have revealed it."
" The Three Pure Ones are one entity, so it's best not to go too far. I still have a pot of elixir to refine..."
"Brother, I'll be taking my leave now." Yuanshi left the Eight Sceneries Palace with a hint of satisfaction.
The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation of Tongtian caused Yuanshi a great deal of distress. Moreover, during this period, his and Tongtian's ideologies clashed. At Deva Path, thousands of immortals came to pay homage, and the disciples of the two sects often clashed. Just recently, his beloved disciple Guangchengzi even came to complain that Duobao of the Jiejiao was arrogant and disrespectful.
"Those vacancies on the Investiture of the Gods the Heavenly Gate."
Meanwhile, Zhunti secretly met with Tongtian again and had a chat.
After Zhunti left, Tongtian couldn't help but reflect.
" Deva Path Tongtian, your Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is truly powerful, but when Laozi and Yuanshi were in the Purple Cloud Palace, we noticed a strange look in your eyes. Among the Three Pure Ones, the one I, Zhunti, respect the most is not Laozi, but Fellow Deva Path. The teachings of the Jiejiao are derived from the One that has vanished, giving all beings a chance, teaching without discrimination..."
'Fellow Deva Path, you should still be careful and observe your disciples closely.'
Tongtian Yitan inwardly, "Our Jiejiao and Chan Sect jointly assist the Great Shang. If, as Zhunti analyzed, Yuanshi is only plotting against my disciples because of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, then the Three Pure Ones Three Pure Ones will cease to exist."
"Never mind, I'd better go find my elder brother, Yuanshi."
However, when Tongtian went to find Laozi, he was turned away. He went to Kunlun to find Yuanshi, and although he met him, Yuanshi spoke of the Great Tribulation in Yuanshi strange and sarcastic manner, which made Tongtian extremely worried. Zhunti had said before might come true.
" Yuanshi, let's speak frankly! Why be so sarcastic!"
"Speak frankly?" Yuanshi sneered, " Tongtian, your Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is quite remarkable. Did you discuss such a technique with your elder brother and me beforehand?"
"Hmph! Ridiculous! Haven't I said it before? It's you and my elder brother who look down on my swordsmanship and despise the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords!"
" Tongtian, you may leave. I have nothing more to say to you!" Yuanshi thought back to the time when Tongtian had indeed boasted to him and Taiqing Laozi that he had discovered a great secret: the sword formation of the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords was very strong.
At that time, he possessed the Innate Supreme Treasure Pangu Banner and looked down on how powerful the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords and four Innate Spirit Treasure were.
" Yuanshi! Since that's the case, I warn you! If you harm any of my disciples, then the bond between the Three Pure Ones is severed!" Heavenly Eye blazed with fury.
"Hmph! Don't bother seeing me out!"
After leaving Kunlun Jade Void Palace, Tongtian felt very sad. In the battle of Chaos, he had used the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, hoping to see his two elder brothers' admiring eyes and hear their praise, but he never expected it to turn out like this.
In the Human Clan Saint Teacher Hall, Xiao Tian was talking to the Grandmaster Nüwa when he suddenly had a premonition. After some calculations, he was surprised.
" The Three Pure Ones have fallen apart after all. This Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is truly a bad start."
"Wow! Hongjun, you're quite the schemer!"
