Primordial Era: Starting by overwhelming the Sages, Hongjun was stunned!

"Senior brother, save me!!!"

Zhunti screamed.

The sage's expression changed drastically; he wanted to come to the rescue, but it was too late.

Yuanshi and Laozi were also restrained by the chaotic divine light and found it difficult to escape.

It was clear that Zhunti was about to be captured by Kong Xuan.

Right now!

That's enough.

A detached voice came from the heavens.

The void cracked open, and a figure slowly emerged.

He wore a purple robe and had white hair. His face was ancient and simple. He had no aura at all, yet he made the entire prehistoric world fall silent instantly.

Hongjun Daozu!

"Disciple greets Master!"

The Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West bowed together, their eyes revealing joy.

The Dao Ancestor has finally arrived!

No matter how strong Kong Xuan is, can he be stronger than the Dao Ancestor after he has achieved Dao Integration?

however!

Kong Xuan did not stop, and the chaotic divine light continued to grab at Zhunti.

"Um?"

Hongjun Daozu lowered his gaze slightly and looked at Kong Xuan.

Just one glance.

boom!

Kong Xuan's chaotic divine light suddenly dissipated, and he staggered back three steps.

But his expression remained unchanged. He looked up at Hongjun and said calmly:

"Is even going to get involved, Dao Ancestor?"

Hongjun Daozu slowly spoke:

"Kong Xuan, you have attained the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos, transcending the Heavenly Dao, and are now free and at ease."

Why bother arguing with Cundi?

Kong Xuan sneered:

"If he hadn't repeatedly schemed against me, why would I have made things difficult for him?"

"Since the Dao Ancestor has arrived, then let him be the judge."

He took a step forward, facing Hongjun directly:

"Zhunti forcibly converted me first, and the Undying Volcano plotted against me afterwards."

"Given this cause and effect, how does the Dao Ancestor believe it should be resolved?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a deathly silence fell over Biyou Palace.

The Master of Heaven gripped the Immortal Execution Sword tightly, his eyes gleaming.

The Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West all held their breath and waited for the Dao Ancestor to make a decision.

Hongjun Daozu remained silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was ordained by the Heavenly Dao."

"Now that you have transcended, you should not enter into tribulation again."

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan burst into laughter:

"What a relief to have fallen into this calamity again!"

"Dao Ancestor, let me ask you a question!"

"My mother, Yuan Feng, suppressed the Undying Volcano to repay the karmic debt owed to Long Han. Has she ever transcended this?"

"As the son of Yuan Feng, what's wrong with protecting the Yin Shang dynasty and repaying the debts between the Phoenix Clan and the Shang dynasty?"

"Zhunti has repeatedly schemed to forcibly convert me; am I just supposed to surrender?"

He asked three questions in a row, each word like a sword, pointing directly at Hongjun.

Hongjun Daozu's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were as deep and unfathomable as an abyss:

"What do you want?"

Kong Xuan spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Zhunti has blocked my path; this enmity is irreconcilable."

"Today, either I suppress him, or..."

A chilling glint flashed in his eyes:

"I've overturned your grand scheme of creating a pantheon of gods!"

"Let this primordial world be transformed!"

As Kong Xuan finished speaking, the entire Biyou Palace fell into a deathly silence, like a tomb.

All the saints were shocked, and even the Tongtian Sect Leader's pupils shrank suddenly.

Zhunti's face turned deathly pale, his whole body trembled violently, and the chains of cause and effect rattled as if they were about to break.

He stared intently at Kong Xuan, his eyes filled with disbelief.

crazy!

Kong Xuan is absolutely insane!

How dare they utter such rebellious words in front of the Dao Ancestor!

They gave Daozu two choices: either suppress Zhunti or overturn the Investiture of the Gods game.

Who does Kong Xuan think he is?!

Do they even deserve to be chosen by the Dao Ancestor?

"Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!"

Zhunti roared, but his voice trembled almost imperceptibly:

"Teacher! This child is defying the heavens; his attempt to attain the Primordial Chaos Realm is already intolerable to the Heavenly Dao!"

"Now they're even spouting wild words, attempting to overturn the Investiture of the Gods game and disrupt the order of the primordial world!"

"If this is not suppressed, where is the majesty of Heaven? Where is the majesty of the teacher?!"

He invoked the Heavenly Way and the Dao Ancestor, attempting to place Kong Xuan in a state of utter ruin.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable also spoke in a deep voice:

"Master, although Kong Xuan has attained the Primordial Dao, he is arrogant and disrespectful to his elders."

"If you dare to disrespect the Dao Ancestor today, you will surely bring chaos to the primordial world in the future."

"Dangzhen!"

Lao Tzu paused for a moment, then slowly said:

"Kong Xuan, stop now."

"One must not be presumptuous before the Dao Ancestor."

The guiding saint clasped his hands together, softly chanting Buddhist mantras, but a calculating glint flashed in his eyes:

"Daoist Ancestor, Kong Xuan's karmic connection with the West is already deep. If we leave him alone, I fear it will bring disaster."

All four sages spoke, each word piercing the heart.

The Tongtian Sect Leader's heart sank, and he was about to speak.

Hongjun Daozu slowly raised his hand.

It was just a simple action, yet it caused the entire prehistoric world to freeze instantly.

Time stands still, space freezes.

The sage's authority and the laws of Heaven were completely ineffective at this moment.

Only a detached gaze fell upon Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan.

Hongjun spoke, his voice devoid of sorrow or joy:

"Do you know what it means to overturn the Investiture of the Gods game?"

Kong Xuan faced the Dao Ancestor directly, his body swirling with chaotic divine light, barely managing to withstand the invisible pressure.

His expression remained unchanged, and his voice was clear:

"This disciple understands."

"The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was originally the Dao Ancestor's selection of divine officials for the Heavenly Court of the Jade Emperor to fill the divine positions."

"The myriad immortals of the Jie Sect have come to pay homage, and they are destined to be listed on the list; this is the ordained destiny of Heaven."

"but......"

Kong Xuan abruptly changed the subject, his gaze sharpening:

"Is fate predetermined and unchangeable?"

"It was destined that the three races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin would dominate the primordial world, but after the Dragon-Han Calamity, the three races declined."

"It is the destiny of the Lich and Demon races to rule the world, but after the Lich-Demon Calamity, both races will perish."

"Now, with the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, is the Intercepting Sect destined to perish? Is this an eternal fate?"

With a single step, the illusory image of the Five Elements Great Dao River manifested behind him, subtly rivaling the aura of Dao Ancestor Hongjun:

"The Dao Ancestor once said that the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one is hidden away."

Where is that glimmer of hope?

As soon as he finished speaking, all the saints fell silent.

Laozi's eyes were deep, Yuanshi's face was gloomy, and Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions changed.

The Tongtian Sect Leader gripped the Zhuxian Sword tightly, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Hongjun Daozu remained silent.

He gazed quietly at Kong Xuan, his calm, still eyes seemingly holding the rise and fall of countless worlds.

a long time.

The Dao Ancestor slowly spoke:

"You have obtained that glimmer of hope."

"A Primordial Golden Immortal transcends the Heavenly Dao and lives a carefree and unrestrained life."

"Since you've already stepped out of the game, why re-enter?"

Kong Xuan smiled.

The laughter carried a hint of sarcasm and resolve.

"Dao Ancestor, you are wrong."

"I have stepped out of the chessboard of Heaven's Way, but I have never stepped out of the chessboard of Cause and Effect."

"My mother, Yuan Feng, suppressed the immortal volcano, and the Phoenix Clan and the Yin Shang Dynasty are connected by karma."

"I am the son of Yuan Feng, the general of the Three Mountains Pass of the Yin Shang Dynasty, and the vice leader of the Jie Sect."

"Of these three causes and effects, which one can I stand idly by?"

He raised his hand and pointed at Zhunti, his voice suddenly turning cold:

"Moreover, some people have repeatedly plotted to cut off my path to enlightenment and forcibly convert me."

"I cannot rest easy if I do not seek retribution for these causes and effects!"

Zhunti trembled and quickly looked at Hongjun:

"Master! Your disciple only intended to guide Kong Xuan to the West to jointly study the Great Dao; there was absolutely no malicious intent!"

"He harbored ulterior motives, plotting against his disciple and causing him to be tainted by the karma of the Dragon-Han Sect, damaging his sacred foundation!"

"Please, Master, see the truth!"

Hongjun Daozu ignored Zhunti.

He simply looked at Kong Xuan and slowly said:

"So, you insist on suppressing Zhunti today?"

Kong Xuan nodded and said:

"It has to be a town."

"If the Dao Ancestor does not allow it, then I will overturn this Investiture of the Gods game."

"Let's change the way we play this primordial world."

mad!

They're incredibly arrogant!

This thought arose in the minds of all the saints.

Throughout history, who has ever dared to speak like this before the Dao Ancestor?

Even the Three Pure Ones must be respectful and act as disciples before the Dao Ancestor.

Kong Xuan not only dared to do it, but also gave the Dao Ancestor two choices!

This is not just arrogance, it's... provocation!

A blatant provocation against the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor!
