Sudden Turmoil, an Old Acquaintance from the Heavenly Realm

The instant Pure Bliss Old Ancestor awakened, all the powerful figures of Eastern Divine Continent sensed it in their hearts, their gazes all together casting toward Beyond the Heavens.

At Nine Heavens Gate's Daoist Temple, Cloud Top Immortal Palace.

A white-clad figure rose into the heavens, as if shifting through space, and in an instant stood above the void turbulence.

"That old undying bastard, how did he stir up such a huge commotion... could it be Pure Bliss Mansion got flipped over by someone?"

He rubbed his chin, a trace of amusement flashing across his handsome face, as if he had spotted some interesting spectacle.

Looking across Eastern Divine Continent, those who dared tease Pure Bliss Old Ancestor like this were no more than five fingers.

And within Nine Heavens Gate, there was only this one person.

—The sect master, Jun Ling Yuan.

As a giant power of Eastern Divine Continent, Nine Heavens Gate was extremely low-key, always acting properly and by the book, not seeking merit, only seeking to avoid fault.

This way of dealing with the world had allowed it to stand unfallen all this time. Though its expansion was not fast, its foundation was stable, and it got along quite harmoniously with all sides.

All of this was precisely the tone Jun Ling Yuan had set.

Even someone as strong as Pure Bliss Old Ancestor was unwilling to form enmity with Nine Heavens Gate, and in all matters mostly placed discussion first.

Thus, for many years, the two great powers had kept well water from offending river water, jointly maintaining Eastern Divine Continent's stable situation.

One wave had not yet settled when another rose.

Jun Ling Yuan was watching from the sidelines when the source of that fluctuation unexpectedly kicked up raging billows once more.
