The Cause Uncovered, the Western Queen Mother in Charge

Just then, a figure silently appeared inside the soul lotus. Then, Yang Jian's figure slowly floated out, stood on the top of the soul lotus, quietly looking at the void in front of him, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Heh, True Person Taiyi, I see you're nothing special!" Yang Jian sneered, and then a black streak of light instantly streaked across the sky, heading towards West Ox Hezhou.

"What? Someone actually stole my territory! That despicable bastard, I won't let him get away with this!" In the main hall of Emperor Donghua, a saintess exuding a solemn aura shouted.

That holy woman was none other than the Western Queen Mother of West Ox Hezhou, and the current ruler of the Heavenly Court.

"Queen Mother Niangniang, what should we do now?" At this moment, an official from West Ox Hezhou hurriedly came out and asked the Western Queen Mother.

"Hmph, now, what do you think I should do? My territory has been robbed! This is a blatant provocation against me, an insult to me! Don't you feel angry?" the Western Queen Mother roared.

"Queen Mother Niangniang, this matter must be thoroughly investigated to find out who dared to seize our territory! This is our Heavenly Court's territory; they are simply disregarding us!" the minister said angrily.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that? If it weren't for you, would we have lost our territory? Let me tell you, this matter must be investigated to the end. Otherwise, if other places find out about this, how will we maintain our foothold in West Ox Hezhou? Do you want others to say that our Kunlun Sect is incompetent?" the Western Queen Mother said coldly.

"Your Queen Mother Niangniang, rest assured!" the ministers all nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I'll leave this to you now. I need to go talk to our third junior brother about a plan!"

"Yes, sir!" the minister nodded and then respectfully withdrew.

Meanwhile, in another part of West Ox Hezhou, atop a majestic mountain, a man dressed in golden clothes stood gazing at the distant scenery.

"Hmph, no matter who you are, daring to seize my territory, I will tear you to pieces. However, if you are still in West Ox Hezhou, it is a very troublesome matter," the man muttered to himself.

"Boom!"

A series of terrifying roars came from the horizon, causing the entire earth to tremble violently. A terrifying pressure enveloped the sky, and the whole world seemed to be wailing. The oppressive atmosphere made it hard to breathe.

"Oh no, has something terrible happened in Heavenly Court?" Many cultivators looked up at the sky, their faces showing surprise.

"What terrifying pressure! This pressure is even more terrifying than that of the Demon Devil Ancestor. Could it be that something has happened in the Heavenly Court?" Yang Jian frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

Yang Jian was very puzzled. He really didn't know what had happened in the Heavenly Court, or how it had suddenly Heavenly Court. It all happened so suddenly.

"Yang Jian, something's happened in Heavenly Court!" At this moment, the Dragon Turtle flew quickly to Yang Jian's side and said, its eyes fixed on the sky.

Yang Jian raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "Dragon Turtle, what happened? Why do you look so strange?"

"Look!" the Dragon Turtle said, pointing directly at the sky in front of it.

"Hmm?" Yang Jian looked in the direction the Dragon Turtle pointed and saw a dark cloud slowly gathering in the sky. A strong pressure emanated from the cloud, and the entire sky seemed to be swallowed up by it. Above the cloud, a huge eye appeared, emitting a cold and ruthless light, as if it wanted to devour everything.

Yang Jian stared at the dark clouds, his eyes filled with horror.

At that moment, a bolt of purple lightning struck the giant eye, bursting forth with dazzling light, but it was utterly unable to harm the eye.

"How is this possible? What is this thing? Why is it so terrifying? I can't even break through its defenses." Yang Jian's eyes were also filled with shock.

"Yang Jian, do you know about this thing?" the Dragon Turtle suddenly asked, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

"I don't know! What is this?" Yang Jian shook his head and said, it was the first time he had ever encountered something like this.

"This is Heavenly Condemnation, also known as Heavenly Punishment. It is said to have been issued by a mysterious and unpredictable being in ancient times. Anyone who offends it will be Heavenly Punishment. Moreover, even heavenly soldiers and generals cannot withstand the Heavenly Punishment. This eye is the Heavenly Punishment issued at that time. This eye is not something that anyone in the present can withstand!"

"What? That powerful!" Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's heart sank. If even this eye couldn't stop him, wouldn't his strength be even weaker?

"Yes!" The Dragon Turtle nodded heavily.

"So what do we do now? If this continues, we'll be wiped out sooner or later!" Yang Jian said. He didn't believe in any Heavenly Punishment; he was afraid that the Heavenly Court had already been destroyed by Heavenly Condemnation. Otherwise, how could such a thing have happened?

"Hehe, I don't know either. Although I've dealt with this eye a few times, I've never encountered it before, so I don't know what to do!" the Dragon Turtle said, troubled.

"Yang Jian, I have an idea, but I don't know if you dare to try it?" At this moment, the Xuanyuan Jian Artifact Spirit suddenly spoke.

"Oh? Tell me what you think!" Yang Jian said. The idea was quite appealing, and he wanted to hear Xuanyuan Jian's opinion as well.

"Since this eye is a calamity unleashed by the ancient God Race, and it's specifically targeting Human Race, do you think its owner will let it go? If he wants revenge, he certainly won't just target you. Have you thought about your safety? What will you do if he targets you? Therefore, you must take precautions before this eye takes action," the Xuanyuan Jian Artifact Spirit said. She naturally understood matters of Heavenly Punishment; such things weren't easily resolved, and if one wasn't careful, they might even die.

"You mean..." Yang Jian's heart skipped a beat, and then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"Yes, your guess is correct. If you are really targeted by the owner of this eye, do you think he will give up? You should prepare for the worst!" The Xuanyuan Jian Artifact Spirit spoke directly.
