The Devil Race's Rising Power, the Three Purities Gather
"Hehe, fellow Daoist is still too young!" Celestial Venerable Yuanshi said with a faint smile.
"It's not that I'm too young, but the strangeness of the Devil Race terrifies me. I fear they're putting on an act, a performance for the powerful beings of the Primordial World, and also for the Three Purities Sage," Ao Changsheng said coldly. He had witnessed the strangeness of the Devil Race before, and he wouldn't easily believe it.
Celestial Venerable Yuanshi nodded slightly and said, "What you say is exactly what I am worried about. However, we currently have no evidence to prove whether these things are true or not. Therefore, I can only advise you that if you truly anger the Devil Race, I'm afraid the Primordial World Great World will no longer be able to be preserved."
"What?" Ao Changsheng exclaimed in shock upon hearing this.
The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi sighed, "Actually, I have been searching for various gods and Buddhas these days, hoping to learn more about the secrets of the Devil Race invasion from them. But unfortunately, those gods and Buddhas are all fools who know nothing. The reason I invited you here is to have you investigate and see if you can find any clues. If you can find the reason for the Devil Race invasion, I believe you can thwart Devil Race grand plan."
"Disrupt the Devil Race's grand invasion plan?" Upon hearing this, Ao Changsheng's expression turned strange.
"What's wrong? What are your thoughts, fellow Daoist?" Celestial Venerable Yuanshi couldn't help but ask when he saw Ao Changsheng looking hesitant.
"Fellow Daoist, you are unaware of this," Ao Changsheng said with a wry smile.
"Hmm?" Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was taken aback and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist know about the Devil Race's grand plan?"
Ao Changsheng nodded and said, "Actually, Fellow Daoist, you may not know, but I have heard that there is a place called the 'Ten Thousand Devils Cavern' on the Primordial World Continent. Many powerful Devil Race gather there. Some of these Devil Race are extremely strong, while others are weak. It is very likely that the Devil Race invaded the Primordial World in order to relocate these Devil Race to the Ten Thousand Devils Cavern, so that they can use the environment there to cultivate their secret Devil Race techniques."
"This..." Upon hearing this, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's eyes widened in surprise. "Are you talking about the Ten Thousand Devils Cavern? That's impossible, wasn't the Ten Thousand Devils Cavern destroyed long ago?"
"I don't know about that," Ao Changsheng shook his head.
"Oh, I understand now. So, the Devil Race's purpose in invading the Primordial World this time is indeed not to seize the Heavenly Court's Karmic Luck One, but to use the opportunity of seizing the Primordial World Karmic Luck Karmic Luck One to further strengthen themselves." Celestial Venerable Yuanshi suddenly realized that he had finally understood the Devil Race's intentions.
"What you say, fellow Daoist, is not without reason," Ao Changsheng said.
"Fellow Daoist is absolutely right. In that case, the Devil Race's invasion of the Primordial World is not entirely aimed at us, the Three Purities Sage." After pondering for a moment, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi said, "Fellow Daoist, the Devil Race's invasion of the Primordial World will inevitably cause Primordial World. I wonder if you are confident in averting this great calamity?"
Ao Changsheng frowned, pondered for a while, and finally shook his head, saying, "This humble Daoist is not confident. The danger in the Primordial World this time is far more serious than I imagined. This humble Daoist also does not know how many experts the Devil Race will send to attack the Primordial World this time."
"The Devil Race Clan has many experts, but if they want to attack the Primordial World, they must rely on external forces. Otherwise, the Primordial World's barrier cannot be broken by a few Sage working together," said Celestial Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun in a deep voice. "Moreover, according to my judgment, the Devil Race's invasion of the Primordial World is likely to attract the attention of the Three Teachings and the Demon Race. Therefore, fellow Daoist, you must be careful and not let the Devil Race's conspiracy succeed, otherwise, the consequences will be endless. Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to investigate with me the truth of the Devil Race's plan to invade the Primordial World?"
"Alright!" Ao Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement. Although he knew that the Devil Race was likely putting on an act, he still had to be on guard. After all, his current enemy was the Devil Race. If the Devil Race's target was the Three Purities Sage, then he wouldn't be too worried.
"Very well, since you have agreed to join me in this grand plan, I will now return to gather my fellow disciples to discuss how to handle this matter. However, I still advise you to leave the Primordial World as soon as possible, lest the situation escalate to an unmanageable point and you find yourself unable to leave. I will also inform the Three Purities Sage to prepare accordingly," said Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
"I have my own arrangements for this, so I won't trouble you, fellow Daoist," Ao Changsheng said.
"In that case, I shall take my leave. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me at any time." After saying this, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi cupped his hands in greeting.
Ao Changsheng said, "Then this humble Daoist will see you out first."
Celestial Venerable Yuanshi nodded, then led Ancestor Hongjun and followed Ao Changsheng out of the main hall, and then flew towards the East Sea.
After Celestial Venerable Yuanshi and Ao Changsheng left the main hall, Yang Jian, who had been hiding in the shadows, breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Celestial Venerable Yuanshi would suddenly make a move and kill his father.
He was very excited when he was talking to Celestial Venerable Yuanshi about the Devil Race's invasion of the prehistoric Primordial World. After all, he knew very well that his father was able to escape this calamity entirely thanks to Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's help; otherwise, his father would have died long ago.
However, just as he was about to make his move, he noticed that Celestial Venerable Yuanshi seemed to have sensed something, glanced in the direction of the main hall, and then quickly left.
After Celestial Venerable Yuanshi left, Ao Changsheng immediately rushed home. As he walked, he anxiously asked Ancestor Hongjun, "Ancestor, you said the Devil Race invaded the Primordial World to strengthen Devil Race. But what exactly is the Devil Race's purpose in invading? Why are Devil Race targeting us, the Three Purities Sage? Could it be that they want to challenge our Sage?"
"Hehe, fellow Daoist, don't worry. The Devil Race want to challenge the majesty of our Three Purities Sage? They'll have to see if they have the ability. Although the Devil Race are powerful now, they are, after all, just Devil Race, not Non-Self true Primordial World race." Ancestor Hongjun sneered. "Fellow Daoist, if we truly fight the Devil Race, it will ultimately be our Three Purities Sage who suffer. Don't forget, our current power is sealed. No matter what, we are no match for the Devil Race. The only thing we need to do now is conceal ourselves and prevent the Devil Race from discovering our existence."
"Our ancestor is wise," Ao Changsheng quickly flattered.
"Hehe, I wouldn't call myself brilliant, would I? While we can't participate in the Devil Race's conspiracy, if I'm not mistaken, Devil Race actions this time will surely attract experts from the Three Realms to the Primordial World to witness the ceremony. That will be the best time for us to act," Ancestor Hongjun said with a smile. "At that time, the Devil Race Clan will undoubtedly be defeated, and not only the Devil Race, but also other forces will suffer as a result."
