The four Sages, each receiving his orders
At this point, the four Sage knelt down before Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, their faces full of respect.
The attitude of the four Sage immediately startled Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes. He asked, "What? The Three Purities and the Demon Race have joined forces? How could this be? Aren't they always rivals? How could they possibly join forces?"
As soon as Celestial Venerable Yuanshi finished speaking, Zhunti, Jieyin, and the other two spoke in unison, "Yuanshi, you don't need to worry about this. Just promise to return this treasure. Once you hand it over, the four of us will immediately swear that we will never interfere in your affairs!"
Upon hearing the words of Jieyin, Zhunti, and Yuanshi, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's brows furrowed tightly, and a struggle flashed in his eyes. After a long while, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a resolute look, and said, "Very well! Since that's how it is, let's leave it at that! However, I must first give this supreme treasure to Chang'e!"
"Chang'e!? You actually dared to give the Chaos Bell to her!"
Upon hearing Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's words, the four Sages, Zhunti, Zhunti, Taishang Zhunti, immediately changed their expressions. They never expected that Celestial Venerable Yuanshi would actually hand over the Chaos Bell to Chang'e.
Although these four were also Sage, their strength was far inferior to Yang Jian and Hongjun. Their struggle could only be kept hidden, never revealing their power in public. However, Yang Jian and Hongjun were different; both were Heavenly Emperor- level powerhouses, their strength unparalleled in the primordial world. If Yang Jian successfully fused with the Primordial World Primordial purple qi Celestial Venerable Yuanshi. In that case, Yang Jian handing the Chaos Bell to Chang'e would mean that the four of them were simply no match for Yang Jian.
Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, upon hearing the four's words, was not angry. Instead, he said, "That's right, I did give the Chaos Bell to Chang'e. However, this treasure is the most precious treasure of my Jie Sect, the Jie Sect's most treasured artifact. Of course, I have the right to give it to whomever I want! I think you won't object!"
The four Sages were speechless upon hearing this; they indeed had no reason to object.
Upon seeing their appearance, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi smiled slightly and then said, "Alright, don't waste any more time here. You four are all powerful beings at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and you should know that we are currently at our weakest. You've come to me hoping I'll help you recover your strength? If so, then you four should prepare for defeat. While your strength may be considered top-tier in the Primordial World, compared to me, you are still far inferior. You are still thousands of years away from defeating me!"
Upon hearing Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's words, the expressions of Jieyin, Zhunti, and the other three turned extremely ugly. However, they did not refute him, because Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was telling the truth. Although their cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Immortal realm, they still had no ability to resist Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
"Yuanshi, what do you intend to do with us?" Jieyin asked.
The Jieyin opened his mouth.
Celestial Venerable Yuanshi Jieyin at Jieyin and said coldly, "The four of you have committed an unforgivable error. I will personally report this matter to the Heavenly Court and let Heavenly Court decide!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's words, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others quickly nodded in agreement.
"Yuanshi, by doing this, you will anger the Western Sect and Lady Nüwa Nuwa!" Daoist Jieyin.
"Hmph, that's your business, it has nothing to do with me!" Celestial Venerable Yuanshi snorted coldly, then waved his hand and said, "You may leave!"
"Alright!" Upon hearing Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's words, the four Sages, including Jieyin Zhunti, did not waste any more words and turned to leave.
After their bodies disappeared, the gaze of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi fell upon the Chaos Pagoda.
The Chaos Pagoda is actually the Innate Spirit Treasure, the Chaos Bell, with terrifying power capable of suppressing everything.
However, because the Chaos Bell had been refined by the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi many times, it had completely mutated into Innate Supreme Treasure. Not only could it withstand the attacks of Quasi-Sage, but even Heavenly Immortal Realm immortal would not be able to destroy this Innate Supreme Treasure unless they possessed the Primordial purple qi.
Back when they were sealing the Devil Realm, they had obtained the Chaos Bell. However, because the Chaos Bell was a primordial Innate Supreme Treasure refined by the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, they had no way to use Chaos Bell and had to give it up, ultimately allowing it to benefit Hongjun.
Now, Yang Jian wields the Chaos Bell and has reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm. His strength has increased immeasurably compared to before, and even the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi is no match for him.
Now that Yang Jian has taken control of the Chaos Bell, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi can no longer control Chaos Bell.
Moreover, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was well aware that once Yang Jian possessed the Chaos Bell, he would absolutely not easily relinquish Chaos Bell. After all, the enmity between Yang Jian and him was now irreconcilable. If the Chaos Bell were handed over to Yang Jian, wouldn't that be even more dangerous?
However, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was also feeling helpless, because he simply couldn't do anything about Yang Jian.
Yang Jian now possesses the Primordial purple qi, so he is not afraid of Celestial Venerable Yuanshi at all. No matter how powerful Celestial Venerable Yuanshi is, without the Primordial purple qi, he would not be a match for Yang Jian.
Thinking of this, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's gaze fell upon the Chaos Mountain once more.
"Now that Yang Jian has the Chaos Bell, I have nothing else to give him. It's impossible for me to take the Chaos Bell back. I can only give Chaos Mountain to Chang'e. Perhaps she can get some fortuitous opportunity from the Chaos Bell!" Thinking of this, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi did not hesitate. With a thought, Chaos Mountain floated up and slowly descended onto it. In an instant, it disappeared and turned into a stream of light, flying into Chang'e's sea of consciousness.
"Call!"
Yang Jian opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and woke up from his meditation.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a violent tremor ran through Yang Jian's mind. Then, Yang Jian felt as if he had entered an endless spatial world, a boundless space filled with a rich Chaos aura. This space was just like the beginning of Chaos, giving people a sense of infinite mystery, as if all things in heaven and earth had been played out within it.
Yang Jian stood amidst the Chaos, his gaze sweeping around him. He found that all around him was a vast expanse of Chaos, with no end in sight. Yang Jian's gaze sharpened, and a deep sense of shock welled up within him.
