Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Yuanshi looked at Fuxi, at that thin yet stubborn face.

An indescribable sense of irritation welled up inside me.

He knew this day would come sooner or later, ever since he signed the Investiture of the Gods.

The Jie Sect is too powerful.

Humanity is too abundant.

The tunnel is too stable.

The Chan sect was caught in the middle, neither up nor down.

We can't win if we go in.

We can't afford to back out.

We can't hold on.

He had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure, sending Guang Chengzi and Yu Ding Zhenren to ruin Shao Hao's merits.

If it succeeds, the Chan Sect will have a greater chance.

If it cannot be achieved...

He took action personally.

Yuan Shi took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart.

"Fuxi".

He spoke, his voice calm:

"I have not come here today to argue with you."

"I only have one question for you."

"Are you going to let me pass or not?"

Fuxi looked at him and said, slowly and deliberately:

"No."

The two words fell with a resounding clang, like metal striking stone.

Yuan Shi's gaze turned cold.

He raised his hand.

Although the Pangu Banner has been taken, he still possesses many innate spiritual treasures.

In the palm of his hand, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi slowly rose.

The Ruyi is bluish-white in color and crystal clear throughout.

Above the Ruyi, innate Dao patterns flowed endlessly, radiating a chilling pressure.

A top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Although it cannot suppress destiny like the Pangu Banner, it is still a powerful weapon.

With the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in hand, Yuanshi's aura surged.

Under the infusion of the Jade Purity Immortal Light, his cultivation level at the seventh level surged dramatically!

Mid-stage of the Seventh Heaven.

Late stage of the Seventh Heaven.

Peak of the Seventh Heaven!

He gazed at Fuxi, his eyes as cold as frost.

"Fuxi, you have only just entered the realm of sainthood."

"You dare challenge me from the first level of heaven?"

"I am a Heavenly Saint of the Seventh Heaven."

"Within the primordial world, under the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, even in the eighth heaven, I dare to fight."

"What do you have to fight me with?"

As the sound faded, the Jade Pure Immortal Light surged forth like a tide.

It pressed down hard on Fuxi!

Fuxi's expression remained unchanged.

He stood in the void, his blue robe fluttering in the wind.

The phantom image of the Eight Trigrams hangs behind him, the eight trigrams rotating endlessly.

He remained unmoved in the face of Yuanshi's overwhelming pressure.

"The Beginning".

He spoke, his voice calm:

"you're right."

"I have only just entered the Holy Realm, the first level."

"You are at the seventh level of the Heavenly Realm. Within the primordial world, with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, you would dare to fight even at the eighth level."

"But you forgot."

He paused, his voice turning deep:

"I am not alone."

The sound faded.

He raised his hand.

A beam of azure light shot into the sky from his palm!

The light shot straight into the sky, like a bolt of blue lightning, illuminating the vast wilderness!

The pupils of the primordial beings contracted slightly.

He sensed it.

That radiance was not an attack.

It's a signal.

It is Fuxi calling people.

Whom are you calling?

The answer speaks for itself.

Yuanshi's expression changed drastically.

"Fuxi, you..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

"Buzz".

The void rippled silently.

A figure slowly appeared; it was none other than Xuan Du.

Her green robe fluttered slightly, and her black hair cascaded over her shoulders.

He stood with his hands behind his back in the void, his gaze calm as still water.

He gazed at Yuanshi, at that majestic yet somber face.

A slow smile crept onto his lips.

The smile was faint, yet it carried a profound understanding that saw through everything.

"Yuanshi, how have you been?"

The six characters fell like the evening drum and the morning bell.

Yuanshi's pupils suddenly contracted.

He gazed at the figure in blue robes, at that young yet composed face.

A chill ran through me.

Xuandu.

he came.

Isn't it in Chendu?

How did I end up here?

Yuanshi's thoughts raced, but his expression remained unchanged.

He stood with his hands behind his back, and the Jade Pure Immortal Light surged like a tide.

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi hung above his head, gleaming with golden light.

"Xuan Du".

He spoke, his voice calm:

"Why are you here when you're not in Chendu?"

Xuan Du looked at him, his gaze calm.

"What you've come here for, I've come here for the same reason."

Yuan Shi's expression darkened slightly.

Xuandu continued:

"You sent your disciples to ruin the merits of my human race and destroy the foundation of my human race."

"If I didn't come, wouldn't I be disappointing you?"

The sound fell like an ancient, frozen ice.

The Primordial One remained silent.

He knew that with Xuandu's arrival, things would be difficult to resolve today.

That man in blue dared to confront even the Dao Ancestor head-on.

Besides, what about Yuanshi?

But he is a seventh-level Heavenly Saint.

He was the leader of the Chan Sect.

It is the authentic Pangu lineage.

How could we bow down before Xuandu?

How could we admit defeat in front of the Jie Sect?

How could we back down in front of the human race?

"Xuan Du".

Yuanshi spoke, his voice turning cold:

"Guang Chengzi and Yu Ding Zhenren were merely preaching and expounding the Dharma."

"How have I ever tarnished the virtues of your human race? How have I ever destroyed the foundations of your human race?"

Don't make false accusations.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du's smile deepened.

He turned his head and looked at Guang Chengzi and Yu Ding Zhenren.

His gaze was as calm as still water.

But when it fell on the two of them, it felt like an immense burden.

Guang Chengzi's face was deathly pale, and his whole body was trembling.

Master Yuding lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

Xuan Du spoke, his voice not loud:

"Preaching and expounding the Dharma?"

"Preaching and expounding the Dharma in the Shaohao tribe?"

"Did he preach and teach the Dharma while Shaohao was accumulating merit?"

"To preach and expound the Dharma as Shao Hao is about to return to power?"

"Yuanshi, do you take me for a fool?"

Yuan Shi's face turned ashen.

Xuandu continued:

"The Investiture of the Gods has been signed, and the great calamity has begun."

"The Five Emperors were at their most vulnerable when their merits were not yet fulfilled."

"You sent your disciples to undermine Shaohao's merits and destroy his foundation."

"Isn't it all for those three positions of sainthood in the human realm?"

"Isn't the whole point to suppress the Jie Sect?"

"Isn't it all for the sake of giving your Chan Sect a better chance?"

Am I right?

The sound fell like a thunderclap.

Yuanshi was speechless.

Because everything Xuandu said was true.

He couldn't refute it.

He didn't bother to refute it.

"So what if it is?"

Yuanshi spoke, his voice cold and sharp:

"In the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, each relies on their own abilities."

"What's wrong with my disciples preaching and expounding the Dharma?"

"Even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun has no right to interfere."

"You, Xuandu, what right do you have to stop me?"

Xuan Du looked at him, his gaze calm.

Beneath that calm lay a despairing composure.

"That's right."

"In the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, each relies on their own abilities."

"Preaching and expounding the Dharma is a matter of freedom for monks."

"Even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun has no right to interfere."

"My Xuandu has no right to interfere."

He paused, his voice turning deep:

"But have you forgotten?"

"This is my territory."

"Shaohao is my disciple."

"Humanity is my foundation."

"You are on my territory, ruining my disciples' merits and destroying my foundation."

"Tell me, should I have stopped them?"

Yuan Shi's expression changed slightly.

Xuandu continued:

"If you want to preach and teach, that's fine."

"To hell with Kunlun Mountain, to hell with your Chan Sect."

"Go wherever you want to go."

"But you just had to come to my territory."

"He deliberately preached and taught in front of my disciples."

"They just want to ruin the good deeds of my human race."

"You're not taking me seriously."

"Still they don't take the Jie Sect seriously?"

"Still disregarding humanity?"
