Hongjun Defeated, Pingxin Victorious
In the blink of an eye.
Above the void, tens of thousands of miles away from the Interception Sect.
The figures of Taishang and Yuanshi were revealed.
When they saw the golden light appearing above the Interception Sect, and there was no sign of any damage, they were surprised.
The Taishang's complexion was somewhat better.
After all, the Taishang had seen him before.
But.
Yuanshi stands beside Taishang.
A look of astonishment flashed in his eyes!
"Is this the Interception Sect?"
"How could the Interception Sect, located so far from the site of the war, have survived?!"
"Moreover, why are there golden dragons circling around the Interception Sect?"
"The merit accumulated upon it is truly abundant!"
"They're three or four times stronger than the Chan Sect!"
"What exactly did the Interception Sect do?!"
Yuanshi stared blankly at everything before him.
I was completely taken aback.
Seeing the shock on Yuanshi's Taishang knew what was going on.
He sighed, a hint of jealousy flashing across his pale face.
"The Interception Sect is able to gather such a powerful force of destiny."
There's definitely something fishy going on.
"The Dao Ancestor is also aware of this matter."
"The entire Primordial World has gone through countless eons."
"The power of merit and fortune has been raised to such a massive level as the Interception Sect."
"It will inevitably steal the luck of others."
"Other living beings will be unable to cultivate, which means their destiny has been stolen by the immortals of the Interception Sect."
"The Dao Ancestor wouldn't stand idly by and watch something like this happen."
Yuanshi completely ignored what Taishang said.
He only believes what he sees with his own eyes.
The Interception Sect at this moment.
The power of destiny.
It's simply unimaginably magnificent.
No matter how much the Chan Sect develops, even if it wins the final victory in the Investiture of the Gods...
I am afraid.
They might not even be able to keep up with the pace of development of the Interception Sect.
In the past.
Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan.
The Witch Clan, the Demon Clan.
They were all once the protagonists of heaven and earth.
Their own luck is even more astonishing.
But.
Then.
Yuanshi also personally experienced the Great War of the Three Clans and the Witch-Demon Tribulation.
The aura of these tribes.
It was absolutely astonishing.
Its power of destiny is among the highest in the entire primordial Primordial World.
But at this moment, they faced the Interception Sect.
That's like comparing a small fry to a big fish.
It's no wonder that Yuanshi was so jealous.
The power of destiny gathered at the Interception Sect's dojo at this moment.
It is still the most prosperous force that the Yuanshi Beginning has ever seen since its inception!
Even if the Dao Ancestor were to come.
Could the Dao Ancestor really eradicate such a massive amount of fortune power completely?
It probably doesn't have the terrifying power you imagine.
The so-called fortune.
It is an aura born between heaven and earth.
When a living being is beneficial to heaven and earth.
The fortune that accumulates within oneself becomes increasingly immense!
Because.
This is the power or being of great fortune.
It will allow this world to gradually progress, develop, and evolve.
The power that has been gathered.
This energy converges on the forces or beings of this great energy.
The reason why the Interception Sect was able to gather such enormous power and fortune was because of this.
It was definitely not obtained for no reason.
Such immense power of fortune.
Even if the Dao Ancestor came, he might not be able to get a word in edgewise.
That's being blessed by heaven and earth.
In the past, Great War of the Three Clans, Witch-Demon Tribulation.
Why is this happening?
That's because their tribe enjoys too much good fortune.
It disrupted the normal laws of nature, yet it was favored by nature.
Hongjun is the Dao Ancestor.
It is also impossible for them to intervene alone.
Therefore, the only way to resolve their conflict is through some form of intervention.
This resulted in both of them suffering heavy losses, and their luck naturally declined.
However, the Jie Interception Sect now holds absolute power.
Who can fight him? Who can completely destroy the power of the Interception Sect?
The Investiture of the Gods was originally a conspiracy against the Jie Sect.
The Investiture of the Gods Calamity can no longer continue.
Wouldn't the Interception Sect become even more powerful?
How can we stop it then?
Thinking about this...
A hint of caution and apprehension crept into Yuanshi's heart.
His Taishang advice was admonished.
"Brother, why don't we wait here and see, instead of going any closer?"
"Just in case something else bad happens."
"Or we could try communicating directly with the Dao Ancestor and see Dao Ancestor's here."
"I've always felt there's something fishy about the Interception Sect."
Hearing Yuanshi's cautious words.
The Taishang waved his hand.
You're worrying unnecessarily.
"The Dao Ancestor has been here before."
He showed no fear whatsoever regarding the views of the Interception Sect.
"Presumably, the Dao Ancestor has a way to deal with the Interception Sect."
Hearing the words of the Taishang.
Yuanshi was slightly taken aback.
He was about to say something in rebuttal.
Just then...
In the void not far above their heads.
Suddenly, two whooshing sounds were heard.
The instant it swept through.
It Jieyin up the surrounding energy.
Their strength is clearly formidable.
Yuanshi's heart stirred.
Suddenly, I sensed two familiar presences.
I couldn't help but look up.
Then, he gave a wry smile.
"Brother, they are the Two Sages of the West."
"They stopped us."
Hearing what Yuanshi said.
The Taishang Lord's expression changed drastically.
The Two Sages of the West just asked him to make a move.
He did not make a move.
Result.
Even though he didn't make a move.
None of those magical artifacts spared him.
They also beat him severely.
Now.
Two Sages of the West have arrived.
They're probably also looking for Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
But they were discovered by chance.
Stop them.
It's highly likely they're going to come and demand an explanation.
"Brother, what if the Two Sages of the West attack us?"
Even if the Two Sages of the West are injured, we might not be their match.
The Taishang listened.
His expression grew even more serious.
Yuanshi is right.
Currently, the strength of the Two Sages of the West.
It's still not weak.
They also possess Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Presumably, he has recovered quite well.
The Yuanshi only had Fourth Heaven of Hunyuan.
They were no match for the Two Sages of the West.
"Second brother, don't be anxious."
"The Dao Ancestor Hongjun might be nearby."
Even if the Two Sages of the West have a grudge against us.
"They certainly wouldn't dare target us."
You can rest assured.
Although that's what the Taishang said.
But in reality...
I wasn't very confident!
This occurred during the time when Taishang and Yuanshi were having a dialogue.
In front of the two of them.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew.
The Buddha's light shimmered.
Two figures sat cross-legged on golden lotuses.
It also emerged from the distorted space.
These are the Two Sages of the West.
Even when the Two Sages of the West appeared, they still acted all pretentious.
Yuanshi couldn't help but mutter to himself, and said...
"What kind of time is this to be putting on airs and acting all high and mighty?"
The Two Sages of the West naturally heard the Yuanshi Lord's mutterings.
His brow furrowed instantly.
They were also looking for Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Unexpected.
They even discovered Taishang and Yuanshi.
Regarding what they had done before.
The Two Sages of the West were naturally very displeased.
The Jieyin takes the first step.
Seeing the Taishang's miserable state.
A cold, sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"Your Taishang, if you had heeded even half a word of my advice just now..."
"Join me and Zhunti Brother Zhunti in this attack."
"Your fate wouldn't be so tragic."
"Now, how does it feel to have your own tail between your legs?"
Upon hearing this...
In the eyes of Taishang and Yuanshi.
A cold, stern look appeared on their faces.
However, when they wanted to refute it...
They were speechless.
What the Two Sages of the West said makes sense.
If they had attacked together just now...
The outcome would certainly not be like this.
"Alas, fellow Daoist, these sarcastic remarks are of no use whatsoever."
"The Dao Ancestor should be nearby. Let's talk after we see Dao Ancestor."
Hearing that the Taishang Lord deliberately mentioned that the Dao Ancestor was right next to him.
The gazes of the Two Sages of the West immediately sharpened.
Both of their faces turned completely gloomy.
I was originally planning to target Taishang and Yuanshi.
He finally voiced the anger that had been building up inside him.
But he was also afraid of being seen by the Dao Ancestor.
This affects their standing in the eyes of the Dao Ancestor.
In the end, all I could do was shake my hand helplessly.
He glared fiercely at Taishang and Yuanshi.
Then he spoke in a muffled voice.
"The Dao Ancestor's aura cannot be found."
Have you noticed?
Taishang was taken aback, then shook his head and said.
"I didn't notice either."
"Let's go and see the place where we parted ways."
The Jieyin said this.
He then intended to fly away with Zhunti into the distance.
But just then...
In the void before me.
Suddenly, a terrifying power erupted.
A figure.
It flew backwards from that shattered space.
The next moment.
It charged straight towards them.
Who is it!?
The Two Sages of the West, Taishang and Yuanshi, were both shaken.
Both their gaze and their spiritual sense were locked onto that figure.
"It's the Dao Ancestor!"
When they recognized the familiar aura emanating from that figure...
In their respective gazes.
They all showed an expression of utter astonishment.
Obviously.
Unexpectedly, the Dao Ancestor charged towards them in such a disheveled manner.
What are you two standing there for?
"Why aren't you stopping the Dao Ancestor right now?"
"Judging from this, the Dao Ancestor was directly blasted away."
The Taishang watched as the Two Sages of the West stood there, bewildered.
He couldn't help but shout angrily.
The Two Sages of the West glared at the Taishang Lord.
However, they also know that they can't make a move right now.
With the power of the Yuanshi.
That's even more impossible.
That's what I was thinking.
The Two Sages of the West flashed by.
He unleashed the Daoist hand seals.
An astonishing Hunyuan Qi surged within him.
Countless terrifying forces surrounded them.
The next moment.
The Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit lies beneath their feet.
It then began to enlarge rapidly.
Just a moment later.
Then it occupied the void above the heads of Taishang and Yuanshi.
It covered an area of approximately tens of thousands of miles.
Then.
An astonishing golden light appeared on the golden lotus.
Within the golden light lies the supreme power of laws.
Gentle and warm.
It has both healing and defensive effects.
The moment the figure of the Dao Ancestor charged straight toward the Two Sages of the West.
The golden lotus that covered the sky.
And at this very moment.
A layer of golden lotus leaves unfolded.
The next moment.
The Dao Ancestor's figure followed this opening and entered the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus.
After the Two Sages of the West took in the Dao Ancestor.
They immediately took action.
The Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit was restored.
In this way...
All surrounding auras will be shielded by the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit.
It blocks out all external influences.
Protect it.
And this wave.
The Two Sages of the West also felt that they had saved the Dao Ancestor's life!
Thinking this way.
They couldn't help but look behind them.
As expected.
Behind them, they saw the Dao Ancestor.
At this moment, the Dao Ancestor's face was somewhat pale, and his clothes were also somewhat disheveled.
Obviously.
It was impacted by some force.
Moreover, the Dao Ancestor's aura was somewhat chaotic.
I wonder if the opportunity was influenced by some kind of law.
Upon entering the Merit Golden Lotus...
Some merit was bestowed upon the Dao Ancestor, stabilizing his aura.
However, the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit is ultimately just Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
The possibility of helping a powerhouse of Dao Ancestor's level regain his strength is not high.
This might make the Dao Ancestor feel a little better.
The appearance of the Dao Ancestor deeply shocked the Two Sages of the West.
"Wasn't the Dao Ancestor fighting a great battle with Empress Pingxin?"
How did we end up in such a state?!
"Could it be that the Dao Ancestor's strength is inferior to that of Empress Pingxin?"
"Empress Pingxin has resided in the Underworld for so long, how could her power be so great?!"
The Two Sages of the West were unaware of Empress Pingxin's background.
Therefore, her strength left the Two Sages of the West uncertain.
Normally.
I thought that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was an invincible being.
Empress Pingxin is no match for the Dao Ancestor.
However, based on the current situation of Dao Ancestor Hongjun...
It seems that Empress Pingxin has gained a certain advantage.
When I was thinking this to myself.
Suddenly, the Dao Ancestor opened his eyes.
A golden light flashed in his eyes.
Deep within that golden light lay an extreme rage.
"Damn Pingxin!!"
"I will certainly not let you go!"
Hongjun roared like this.
It seemed as if he was venting his anger.
The Two Sages of the West, standing at a distance, were both greatly surprised by this scene.
They had never seen the Dao Ancestor look like this before.
It seems he was quite angry with Pingxin.
The Jieyin was quick-witted and nimble-fingered.
They quickly flew to Hongjun's side.
He asked Dao Ancestor Hongjun with a concerned expression.
"Dao Ancestor, are you alright?"
What are you doing here?
Hongjun then realized that the Two Sages of the West had asked him to take them in.
He instantly suppressed the anger on his face.
After catching his breath, he managed to sit cross-legged on the golden lotus.
"I'm fine."
"Just now, during my battle with Pingxin, that woman actually used some tricks on me to harm me... She's a shameless scoundrel!"
Throughout history, it's always been hard to guard against petty people and women...
Dao Ancestor Hongjun had never suffered such an injustice.
Even back when the Conflict of the Devil Dao occurred.
During the great battle with the Demon Ancestor Rahu.
And it has never been so difficult to deal with!
Not only that, even his Dao heart was affected, otherwise he wouldn't have lost his composure like that.
And it happened in front of all the saints.
"Dao Ancestor, do you still need the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit to heal your injuries?"
Standing to the Zhunti, Zhunti tentatively asked.
But he Jieyin a fierce glare from the guide.
Zhunti is brainless.
Doesn't the Dao Ancestor care about his reputation?
By saying that, aren't you implying that the Dao Ancestor is weaker than us?
You're looking down on him!
Before the Dao Ancestor's expression changed.
The Jieyin immediately spoke up.
"Junior brother, what you're saying..."
"The Dao Ancestor was powerful, but he was tricked by a villain."
"It's just that my breathing is a little disordered, how could it be considered an injury?"
"The Dao Ancestor can fully recover on his own!"
"Our job is simply to protect the Dao Ancestor's Dharma, and that will be enough."
Upon hearing this, Hongjun gave Jieyin an approving look.
Obviously.
The Jieyin was correct.
Zhunti realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut his mouth.
Jieyin quickly condensed all the merit power on the golden lotus into his hand.
Then it struck the body of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun's body was immediately filled with a gentle aura.
It instantly nourished his primordial spirit.
This caused a dramatic change in his body.
Although the quantity is not very large.
But it can also alleviate the immediate crisis.
Seeing that Dao Ancestor Hongjun remained silent.
The Jieyin also breathed a sigh of relief.
He transmitted his voice angrily to Zhunti.
"Junior brother, look at what you just said. Aren't you just looking for trouble?"
"That means the Dao Ancestor can still use us now."
"Under normal circumstances, if you spoke like that, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would probably just laugh and let you go, and then start targeting the West."
"We've offended the Dao Ancestor without even realizing it."
Zhunti also realized that there was a problem with what he had said.
After a moment of silence, no further answer was given.
After a while, he spoke again.
"So, senior brother, what do we do next?"
Jieyin to ponder.
"Wait."
"Wait for the Dao Ancestor to wake up."
Let's see how to arrange it.
Zhunti nodded and then looked at Taishang.
"And what about the Taishang?"
Without a Jieyin thought, Jieyin answered.
"Let them stay there."
"Consider it a lesson they learned."
Zhunti remained silent.
Suddenly, at that moment...
In the distant void.
An astonishing phenomenon suddenly appeared.
The Two Sages of the West couldn't help but look in that direction.
They then discovered that thick, dark clouds of Heavenly Dao were suddenly gathering above the Interception Sect ground.
Blinding flashes of lightning and thunderous sounds occasionally slashed towards the Biyou Palace, the center of the Interception Sect grounds.
Both Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions changed simultaneously!
"What is Tongtian doing?!"
"Is he defying the Heavenly Dao?!"
