The first Sage in the Primordial has fallen.
This was a tremendous psychological blow to the saints, and its impact on their mindset was terrifying!
Even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun deeply realized at this moment that without transcending the Deva Path, Sage is nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
The obsession with breaking free from the control of Deva Path grew stronger.
"Hehehe... Want to break free from the Deva Path? I can help you."
Hongjun's eyes narrowed, and suddenly the power and majesty of the Purple Cloud Palace were revealed.
"Demons Moryo! Heretics and evil spirits! How dare you run wild in my Purple Cloud Palace! Destroy them!"
The space within the Purple Cloud Palace was visibly distorted, caused by the powerful aura and Sage pressure of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Hehehe!
" Dao Ancestor Hongjun, you cannot harm me. I will wait for you. You have great potential; you should not be confined to this small Chaos realm."
"Roll!"
Dao Ancestor Hongjun firmly guarded his Dao heart, and throughout the entire Purple Cloud Palace, thunder rumbled and the momentum was immense as he vanquished evil and demons.
That voice didn't sound again for a long time, but Hongjun felt a sense of fear and curiosity towards that Chaos Otherkind.
"What kind of methods does that Chaos Otherkind possess? And what is the Chaos Realm?"
Soon, the will of Deva Path descended.
After a long while, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nüwa, in response to a message from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, gathered in the Purple Cloud Palace.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun closed his eyes and concentrated. The Six Sages, seeing that Xiao Tian had not yet arrived, secretly wondered if this was because of the fall of Hongyun Sage.
Just now, they sensed Xiao Tian's aura, and therefore deduced that the one who had fallen could only be Hongyun.
Zhunti a chill run down his spine, filled with fear, and strongly suspected that Hongyun's death was caused by Xiao Tian.
If Hongyun's demise was truly due to Xiao Tian, Zhunti felt it necessary to change his strategy for dealing with Xiao Tian.
Who is Xiao Tian? Sage Attaining the Dao through Strength, the first in history! Zhunti doesn't think he will have any great opportunities later on that would allow him to crush Xiao Tian.
Zhunti was extremely troubled and worried, not knowing what method he could use to ease the relationship between Xiao Tian and him.
a long time!
"Wow, you're all here early."
Xiao Tian was relaxed and in a great mood, completely unaffected by the heavy and oppressive atmosphere inside the Purple Cloud Palace.
With Xiao Tian's arrival, Hongjun opened his eyes, and the oppressive and heavy atmosphere in the Purple Cloud Palace immediately disappeared.
"The reason for summoning all the saints this time is to deal with the Chaos Otherkind and to prepare for the upcoming Great Tribulation."
"The next Great Tribulation! Teacher, when will this Great Tribulation arrive?!" The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, Nüwa all paled.
One Great Tribulation has just passed, and another is about to begin!
The great Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was safely weathered, but Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi still suffered considerable losses. Tongtian was spared the collapse of the sect due to Nüwa's intervention, but some traitors from the Jiejiao still flowed into the Western Sect.
Both Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and Tongtian understood that surviving the Investiture of the Gods Calamity was a stroke of luck, and the upcoming Great Tribulation, coupled with the fall of the Hongyun Sage, made them feel the crisis of death.
Will the next fallen Sage fall victim to this?
"Let's set aside the Great Tribulation for now." Great Tribulation Dao Ancestor Hongjun glanced at Xiao Tian, Zhunti his gaze swept over the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, Jieyin, and the Human Path, saying, "Regarding the fall of Hongyun, it is related to the Chaos Otherkind. I hope all the Sages will remain steadfast and not be misled by the evil beings, lest they do anything to harm the beings of the Primordial World."
"Teacher, Hongyun is mixed up with the Chaos Otherkind! Who killed him?" Zhunti's palms and forehead were sweating. Although he roughly knew who it was, he wasn't sure.
The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Nüwa couldn't help but glance at the somewhat carefree Xiao Tian.
"It was Fellow Daoist Xiao Deva Path who executed the traitorous Sage Hongyun of the Primordial."
Hongjun's words shocked and terrified the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti.
They wanted to ask, "Aren't Deva Path Sage immortal and Sage?" They still remembered that Xiao Tian Attaining the Dao through Strength, undergoing tribulation in the Chaos, and successfully passing the tribulation by killing Sage- level Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon. Dao Ancestor Hongjun had explained that even Sage are not the same.
They are Deva Path Sage, their true spirits entrusted to the mysterious River of Fate, immortal and indestructible.
However, Hongyun's demise was a cruel joke played on them!
Doesn't Hongjun's face hurt?
The Three Pure Ones and the others dared not ask, but they were all very uneasy. Even Sage could not sit high in the heavens; he was now a player or even an outsider.
Hehehe...
Seeing that the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti Jieyin somewhat agitated, Xiao Tian comforted them, saying, " Hongyun was able to be killed so easily by me. He brought it upon himself, thinking that by cultivating the methods of the Chaos Otherkind, he had become stronger, but he gave up his immortality as Deva Path Sage and automatically severed his connection with the Primordial, causing his true spirit to disappear in the River of Fate. He can only be described as a complete fool."
"What Fellow Daoist Xiao Deva Path said is true. All the saints must remember this and not be misled or lose their way." Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not know whether what Xiao Tian said was true or false, but it was still necessary to appease Hongyun Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun.
Upon hearing this, Three Pure Ones and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao Deva Path, Teacher, are there any new clues about this Chaos Otherkind?"
Xiao Tian explained, "The true form of the Chaos Otherkind has not been discovered. It should possess an emotion, a negative power, which allows it to ignore certain barriers and formations, and enter the minds of beings with wavering beliefs to bewitch them."
"That little brother Hongyun is too vengeful and too eager to get revenge on me, so he made one mistake after another and fell into the trap of the Chaos Otherkind. Fortunately, this guy is too naive. He even tried to harm me when he was giving me gifts, but I found out. So Turn the Tables to test him."
Xiao Tian sighed, "I never expected that this guy would actually get involved with Chaos Otherkind! It truly breaks my heart. Although he used to be such a nice guy that it was a bit annoying and disgusting, it's still wrong of him to fall into darkness like this, especially because of me. I feel terrible and guilty, so I've made a decision!"
"A decision?!" The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, Hongyun, and even Dao Ancestor Hongjun all pricked up their ears, listening carefully to what decision Xiao Tian was going to make.
"I've made up my mind! I won't provoke anyone again. If I do, to prevent them from falling into darkness, I'll deal with them to the death before the Chaos Otherkind are eradicated. Yes, that's it."
The Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, and Jieyin are chilling! They Jieyin shivers down my spine!
That's way too domineering!
Nüwa almost burst out laughing. What kind of decision was this? It was simply an act of "I'm strong, so I'm right."
"Ahem, fellow Daoist, you were just joking. Please don't take it to heart, Sages," Hongjun said.
"Hehehe, Fellow Daoist Hongjun understands me best. I was just joking with you guys to lighten the mood."
Zhunti inwardly scoffed, "What a joke! Xiao Tian, you treacherous, cunning, and scheming fellow. It seems I'll have to keep a low profile from now on, and I absolutely mustn't get involved with those Chaos Otherkind. My grand ambition of strengthening the Western Sect and restoring the prosperity of the West hasn't been fulfilled yet. This kind of overspending will come at a painful price."
" The Chaos Otherkind are extremely difficult to eliminate, therefore I need the help of all the Sages to jointly build a Pilgrimage Tower, which will periodically scatter holy light to expel the creatures infected by the Chaos Otherkind," Hongjun said.
"Awaken the true goodness and beauty within." Xiao Tian muttered.
Hongjun's face almost turned black. The purpose of the Pilgrimage Tower was to eliminate the infected Chaos Otherkind products, what else could it be?
"I will follow your instructions carefully," said Taiqing Laozi.
Immediately, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti Nüwa Tongtian expressed their agreement.
"Fellow Daoist, you have had contact with Hongyun. We hope you can guard this Pilgrimage Tower to prevent it from being destroyed or infected by the Chaos Otherkind."
Guarding? Xiao Tian thought to himself, "That Hongjun guy actually wants to hang me on this Chaos Otherkind, making me guard this Pilgrimage Tower. Isn't that just wasting my free time?"
"Can."
" The Pilgrimage Tower is of great importance, so I will guard it together with Xiao Tian," Nüwa said.
Xiao Tian was delighted. As the saying goes, teamwork makes the dream work, and this is going to be interesting.
Hongjun gave a brief explanation of the concept of the Pilgrimage Tower. The crafting structure of this Supreme Acquired Treasure involved layers upon layers. The sages began a half-month discussion before the final plan was finalized.
The chief engineer of the Pilgrimage Tower was Hongjun, the deputy engineers were the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti Jieyin responsible for some material transportation, Nüwa was responsible for quality control details.
As for Xiao Tian, he was responsible for guarding against the Chaos Otherkind causing trouble.
One month later!
Four Great Continents, the heavens trembled, and a ray of dawn overshadowed the ancient stars, the Supreme Yin Star and the Sun Star, illuminating all the myriad realms.
The first wave of holy light baptism at the Pilgrimage Tower has begun!
In the myriad realms and across the Four Great Continents, some assimilated forms of chaotic Chaos Otherkind twisted and writhed, like winter snow melting in spring, emitting mournful screams that terrified many of their companions.
The Pilgrimage Tower is situated in the ancient star sea, adjacent to numerous secret realms, like an even more dazzling star, illuminating all worlds.
At the very top of the Pilgrimage Tower stands a large villa placed by Xiao Tian, which is his and Nüwa's residence.
"It's impossible to hold out indefinitely for the Pilgrimage Tower, Nüwa, let's go capture the Chaos Otherkind!"
Nüwa fiddled with the clay figurine, her beautiful, bright eyes looking at Xiao Tian, and asked in confusion, "What if the Pilgrimage Tower is destroyed after we go out?"
"Don't worry, I have my own methods." Xiao Tian revealed a smug smile.
The Chaos Otherkind is now in a panic. The Deva Path Dao of this Chaos Realm is conducting very thorough investigations. The subordinates it secretly developed just a second ago were immediately wiped out.
This greatly limited its progress in absorbing the negative emotional power of the saints.
It was furious and, sensing the presence of the Pilgrimage Tower, began to linger stealthily.
However, it dared not show itself. Looking at the countless Xiao Tian in the Pilgrimage Tower, it felt as if all those eyes had seen through its presence.
The Chaos Otherkind was filled with regret; why had it come to such a place?
"Please save the child! The child hasn't eaten in so long, Aba Aba... Waaaaah..."
Unable to find a way to destroy the Pilgrimage Tower, the Chaos Otherkind could only return to the Four Great Continents to seek out talent and develop their own network.
Xiao Tian and Nüwa used special means to travel around the Four Great Continents and then went up to the Heavenly Court.
The Heavenly Court's talent selection conference is drawing to a close, and so far, only the four positions of the Four Imperial Sovereigns have not yet been filled.
Seven hundred years have passed!
The Chaos Otherkind still couldn't be identified, but with the existence of the Pilgrimage Tower, infected individuals like Hongyun were being eliminated one by one.
On this day, Dao Ancestor Hongjun summoned all the saints and announced that the Great Tribulation had arrived.
Just as people had predicted, the secrets of heaven suddenly Chaos and unpredictable, shrouded in mystery and eeriness.
Xiao Tian understood that the Primordial Heavenly Dao had begun a new wave of actions to benefit itself.
Eastern Continent of Divine Victory, Flower-Fruit Mountain.
Here lies a strange stone, impervious to water and fire, and unquenchable by lightning. It is a product of the Five-Colored Stone Chaos by Nüwa to mend the sky in ancient times.
At this moment, Xiao Tian was sitting on this rock, drinking the immortal wine that would make even Great Luo Golden Immortal envious, and eating the roasted leg of a certain unruly and reckless Golden-Crowned Heaven-Defying Dove with Feng Huang blood.
Golden oil stains, remnants of the celestial wine, dripped onto the spirit stone.
At one moment, the spirit stone emitted a light from within.
