Yuanshi Arrives at the Purple Cloud Palace to Discuss the Investiture of the Gods

While Tongtian and Hongjun were discussing things in the Purple Cloud Palace.

It is 800,000 miles away from the Purple Cloud Palace.

That place is where endless water and fire reside.

It unleashes a terrifying power that inspires awe.

It swayed and danced in all directions.

The power it contains is enough to overwhelm even ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal and Quasi-Saint.

Beneath that surging, terrifying power.

None of them could get through it safely!

They either haven't reached the state of primordial Hunyuan of Sage, or they have Sage leading or protecting them.

That's something I can't even imagine...

And at this moment.

The previously peaceful space suddenly trembled slightly.

A faint golden light shimmered.

Two disheveled figures, travel-worn and looking exhausted.

They emerged from the distorted space.

These two were none other than the Two Sages of the West, Jieyin and Zhunti.

They had been chased by Yuanshi for a long time.

Left with no other choice, they devised a plan to travel to the outer reaches of the Thirty-Three Heavens in search of the Purple Cloud Palace.

They hoped to receive the protection of the Dao Ancestor.

As soon as they appeared, they immediately ran forward.

After running around for a while, Jieyin's face darkened, unable to bear the frustration in his heart any longer.

He spoke to Zhunti behind him.

"Junior brother, what exactly happened?!"

"Why is that courtyard gone?!"

"Did you conceal it using some kind of Daoist magic?"

After saying this, Jieyin he himself felt that the chances of success were slim.

After all, whether it's magical artifacts or the protective formations within the courtyard...

The power it contains is something they cannot match.

The person who created this courtyard must be more powerful than them!

Therefore, Zhunti could not shake the existence of that courtyard at all, especially since Zhunti had already lost his Zhunti!

As expected.

Zhunti said with a bitter expression, "Senior brother, how could I possibly have that ability!"

"That courtyard just vanished suddenly."

My most precious treasure... is gone!

Seeing Zhunti's dejected face, Jieyin also hung his head dejectedly and said, "We're going to be wronged by Yuanshi and Taishang again!"

"What an undeserved disaster!"

Zhunti said helplessly, "Then what should we do?!"

The Jieyin replied, "This is already the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens, the location of the Dao Ancestor's Daoist temple, the place closest to the Chaos World!"

Even if Yuanshi were here, he couldn't possibly attack us in front of the Dao Ancestor!

"Let's stay here until the Dao Ancestor intervenes on our behalf!"

"After all, we'd be dead if we went out!"

"... If things really get too difficult, just beg for mercy..."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti's face stiffened, a bitter smile playing on his lips, and he said dejectedly.

"All right."

"That's the only way..."

He has lost his most precious treasure and is now being played like a mouse by a Yuanshi.

The pursuit has reached this point.

There wasn't a moment to catch my breath.

This was truly the first time he had ever been so embarrassed!

I understand now that Yuanshi is serious this time too.

"Senior brother, let's..."

Just Zhunti was about to say something...

Suddenly, in the void not far ahead.

The space suddenly began to fluctuate.

A mysterious and enigmatic aura emanated from there.

Gradually, a silvery light appeared.

The figure of Yuanshi appeared there.

The Two Sages of the West were stunned when they saw the furious look on his face; they even instinctively stopped breathing.

"Not good!"

"Yuanshi is chasing after us again."

"Run!"

Without a second thought, the Two Sages of the West turned tail and fled into the distance!

Buzz!

However.

Their mindset has completely changed.

In a panic, one can act rashly.

Outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, they dared not release too much of their Sage aura.

So, it was only for a short while.

Yuanshi immediately blocked the path of the Two Sages of the West.

The Pangu Banner has already been unleashed by Yuanshi.

A terrifying, mind-blowing power continued to sweep out.

Endless divine fire, malevolent energy, and chilling aura.

It was accompanied by the immense power of the laws of Sage, and carried the aura of the Heavenly Dao.

It was continuously released from the Pangu Banner in Yuanshi's hand!

Its power and momentum crushed the space, and a terrifying pressure surged forth!

The Two Sages of the West turned deathly pale.

They only had one Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit, whose foundation had been Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.

They were no match for their opponent to begin with!

Not to mention fighting against the Pangu Banner!

Moreover, even their so-called Sage strength is no match for Yuanshi!

Such strength.

What else could they do but get beaten up?

After Yuanshi got close.

The Two Sages of the West felt the boundless pressure and were about to cry out for mercy.

Suddenly.

A loud shout came from in front of me.

"Wait a minute, second brother!"

"The Two Sages of the West did not lie!"

"There really is a mysterious courtyard there!"

The moment that sound fell.

White light flickered beside the primordial spirit, and the ever-changing Yinyang fish radiance appeared out of thin air.

To demonstrate the qualities of Heavenly Dao.

After the interplay of black and white light, a dazzling aura surged and subsided.

A figure dressed in Yinyang Daoist robe appeared among them.

It is indeed the Taishang.

Upon hearing the words of the Taishang, a sense of hope immediately arose in the hearts of the Two Sages of the West.

It dispelled the lingering despair in my heart.

He immediately shouted towards Yuanshi.

"That's right! That's right!"

"We weren't lying! It was the Taishang's discerning eye that recognized our talent!"

"That courtyard really exists!"

However, despite the Taishang's attempts to exonerate him.

The Two Sages of the West offered a forced explanation.

Yuanshi, standing at a distance, simply couldn't believe it.

Not only that.

When the Taishang uttered these words.

Yuanshi's heart also began to grow cold.

He Taishang at the Supreme Lord with a gloomy expression.

"Brother, even at this point, you're still speaking up for the Two Sages of the West?"

"We saw it with our own eyes; there's absolutely nothing on that barren mountain peak!"

"How could there possibly be a courtyard!"

"Both of us are stronger than those two bald monks."

"Could a mere courtyard possibly block my divine sense?!"

How could you make such a foolish mistake!?

Seeing that Yuanshi didn't believe him and that his tone was filled with intense anger, Taishang patiently explained.

"Second brother, don't you even trust your eldest brother anymore?"

"After you left, I stopped there for a while to check on the situation."

"But then, they saw Zhao Gongming of the Interception Sect and the four members of the Three Xiaos Sect arrive in the courtyard."

"Then, the four of them vanished right before my eyes."

"In other words, that mountain peak is protected by an array, and only Jie Sect Disciple can enter; we can't see it!"

Upon hearing this...

The Two Sages of the West' eyes lit up; what the Taishang had described was exactly the same as their experience!

The Taishang might have come to save them!

Thinking of this, the Two Sages of the West nodded hurriedly and explained.

Yes, yes!

"What Fellow Daoist Taishang said is correct!"

"We two only discovered the courtyard's location after we saw Daoist Duobao enter it!"

"It must be related to the Interception Sect!"

The three of them worked together to explain.

However.

Even if what they say is logical and seems to make perfect sense.

Yuanshi's next words left both Jieyin and Taishang stunned.

Zhunti's expression changed drastically, and his heart was filled with panic.
