The Primordial Era: Starting with Becoming a Disciple of the Queen Mother of the West

Chapter 129 Future Settlement

Above Phoenix Unicorn Immortal Continent, purple clouds swirled, each occupying half of the sky alongside the chaotic energy.

Donghuang Taiyi stood on a cloud, wearing an imperial robe with sun patterns, his arms crossed, his expression calm.

Starlight swirled beneath his feet, and the Chaos Bell above his head slowly rotated, sending down wisps of chaotic energy that protected Xuan Yao, who was struggling to hold on below.

He glanced at the Eastern King on the imperial carriage, a slight smirk playing on his lips, his mockery undisguised.

"Dongwanggong, you are, after all, the head of the male immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor, and the master of Zifu Continent. Yet you have now resorted to such a vicious attack on a junior in the Taiyi Realm. Bullying the weak is beneath your dignity."

The sound, carried by the lingering echo of the Chaos Bell, spread far and wide, reaching across millions of miles of sea.

Taiyi glanced at Xuanyao again.

The black tiger's face turned deathly pale from the corruption of the curse, yet it stubbornly clung to life and refused to fall.

Seeing this, Taiyi's eyes showed a hint of approval.

"Unfortunately, you've taken the wrong person today."

Taiyi withdrew his gaze and looked at Dongwanggong. His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable domineering air. "Xuanyao is the Northern Heaven Xuansha Protector Star Lord personally appointed by my Demon Court. He is not someone you, Zifuzhou, can take or kill at will."

Upon hearing this, the sea and sky seemed to fall silent for a moment.

The Eastern King sat upright in his purple-gold chariot, the veins on the back of his hand holding the dragon-headed cane bulging, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

How could he not see the scheming in Taiyi's words?

In recent years, the Demon Court has benefited from the power of the Heavenly Marriage, and its fortunes have been rising, growing stronger day by day.

The Thirty-Three Heavens and the Primordial Land were no longer enough for the brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi to maneuver. They had been eyeing the East Sea, this place where all the waters converged, for quite some time.

However, the East Sea is ultimately the territory of Zifu Continent, and the Eastern King Duke holds a title personally bestowed by the Dao Ancestor.

If the Demon Court intervenes without cause, it will inevitably give others ammunition to criticize them.

Now that the Phoenix and Unicorn Immortal Continent has emerged, the situation is different.

This continent was formed from fragments of chaos, and the innate spiritual objects and primordial charms found within it have attracted countless gazes.

If the Demon Court wants to use this opportunity to interfere in the East Sea, or even extend its reach into the Zifu Continent's sphere of influence, it is currently lacking a respectable pretext.

Xuan Yao's identity as the Demon Court Star Lord was precisely that pretext.

Taiyi may not really care what opportunities Xuanyao has gained in the Immortal Continent, nor may he care whether he is a disciple of Xikunlun.

What he truly cared about was the reputation of the Demon Court on Xuan Yao's persona.

By then, with a large army pressing in, the cause will be justified, and even if others have gossip, they will find it difficult to find any major faults.

The Eastern King quickly grasped the key to the matter.

He sneered, about to speak and expose Xuan Yao's true identity as a disciple of Xi Kunlun, thus thwarting Taiyi's attempt to use this as an excuse. But at that moment, a change suddenly occurred in the void.

A beam of clear light slowly descended from the heavens.

The light was gentle and refreshing, yet it possessed an awe-inspiring and unapproachable majesty. Wherever the light passed, the previously turbulent energy of heaven and earth calmed down.

The purple clouds that Dongwang had bestowed upon the sky vanished silently upon encountering the clear light.

Even the Chaos Bell above Taiyi's head trembled slightly, and the illusory images of the sun, moon, and stars on the bell solidified.

Taiyi frowned slightly, a strange light flashing in his eyes, but he did not stop him.

The clear light pierced through the chaotic airflow and landed in front of Xuan Yao, transforming into a jade-like palm.

With a gentle lift of that palm, the swaying Xuan Yao was steadily lifted up, and then a wisp of clear light swept him up to the heavens.

At this point, Xuan Yao was at his last gasp.

The drop of cursed demon blood within his body was still churning and surging. If it weren't for the Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda firmly suppressing his spiritual platform, his true spirit would have already collapsed under the might of the Eastern King Duke.

Now, lifted up by that clear light, I felt all the pressure around me disappear.

In his dazed state, he barely opened his eyes and saw only a familiar patch of auspicious nine-colored clouds.

That was a scene he had seen countless times in the Jade Pool Wonderland after he became a disciple of the Western Kunlun.

But this time, what I saw brought me more peace of mind than ever before.

Above the auspicious clouds, three figures stood faintly.

The leader, dressed in a plain white fairy robe, was as aloof and cold as the moon. She was none other than the Queen Mother of the West, the head of the female immortals and the ruler of Xikunlun.

Behind her, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and the Plain Maiden stood on either side, their faces cold, and their eyes revealed undisguised anger as they looked down.

Upon seeing this scene, Xuan Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his vision went black as he completely lost consciousness.

The Queen Mother of the West stood on auspicious clouds, and with a slight wave of her sleeves, she took the unconscious Xuan Yao into her sleeve and placed him into her inner world.

She usually had a calm and indifferent expression, but at this moment, her phoenix eyes were clearly covered with a layer of coldness.

Xi Kunlun has always been quiet and does not contend for the hegemony of the primordial world, but that does not mean that anyone can bully his disciples.

Xuan Yao was her personally taught disciple and a person of good fortune whom she valued.

If she hadn't noticed something amiss in the heavenly order and arrived in time, this disciple would likely have already fallen victim to the Eastern King's poisonous hand.

The Queen Mother of the West lowered her eyes and glanced at the King Duke of the East on his precious chariot.

She did not argue with the Eastern King, but simply uttered eight words.

"The consequences of this will be settled in the future."

The moment the eight characters were revealed, the hearts of all the immortals in Zifu Continent sank.

After saying that, the nine-colored auspicious clouds soared into the sky, transformed into a stream of light, and carried Xuan Yao and his two senior sisters straight westward, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

The Eastern King sat on his purple-gold chariot, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

Today, he was first ridiculed by Taiyi in public, and then treated as nothing by west Wangmu.

That phrase, "to settle accounts later," was no different from a written statement addressed to his face.

The pure Yang fire in his eyes surged endlessly.

It wasn't that he didn't want to stop the auspicious nine-colored cloud and forcibly keep Xuan Yao there. It was just that he knew in his heart that he was already too busy to do so.

Because the moment the Queen Mother of the West left, Taiyi moved.

Donghuang Taiyi would not miss such an opportunity.

The Queen Mother of the West taking Xuan Yao away was actually a good thing for him. Now that the pretext had been laid, the real story would unfold.

"The score between the Eastern King and the Western Queen Mother can be settled later. But the score between you and me should be settled first."

Taiyi let out a long laugh, a loud laugh filled with disdain.

He made hand seals, and the imperial magic power within his body surged forth.

The Chaos Bell responded with a long, resounding chime. With a tremor of the bell, the illusory images of the four elements—earth, water, fire, and wind—manifested simultaneously, transforming into an unparalleled power that suppressed the universe and pressed down upon the immortal army of Zifu Continent below.

The Eastern King was so angry that he laughed.

"Taiyi, do you really think I fear your Demon Court?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up abruptly and slammed his dragon-headed cane down heavily.

In an instant, all the pure Yang energy within a radius of tens of millions of miles was drawn in, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long fire dragon, which roared and soared into the sky to meet the descending chaotic bell shadow.

Two top-tier beings from the primordial era clashed fiercely in the sky above Phoenix and Unicorn Immortal Continent.

There was neither probing nor holding back; every move was aimed directly at victory or defeat.

The chaotic bell tolled in succession, each sound shattering the void.

Pure Yang True Fire spread across the sky, and where the fire dragon swirled, large swathes of seawater evaporated, turning into a vast expanse of white mist.

The immortal army of Zifu Continent was thrown into chaos by the aftershocks of the battle between the two powerful beings. The golden-scaled dragons pulling the chariot cried out in anguish, desperately dragging the precious chariot backward.

In an instant, the East China Sea churned, with raging waves crashing into the sky and tsunamis rising everywhere.

Even the protective array surrounding Phoenix Unicorn Immortal Continent couldn't withstand such an impact; the jade-like array light peeled away layer by layer, emitting cracking sounds as it couldn't bear the weight.

But all of this is no longer related to Xuan Yao.

He was lying within the universe in the sleeve of the Queen Mother of the West, surrounded by pure energy, which completely isolated him from the fighting and killing outside.

The drop of demonic blood that had tormented him to the brink of death finally calmed down under the suppression of a wisp of pure Luo Qi, sinking deep into his dantian and ceasing its disturbance.

The Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda also withdrew its precious light and quietly hung above the Taiyi Five Qi.

Nine-colored auspicious clouds pierced through layers of fierce winds, carrying Xi Kunlun and his party away from the East Sea. The fighting and clamor behind them gradually faded into echoes on the horizon.

Xuan Yao's consciousness sank into darkness, and he felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

He knew that he had finally survived this ordeal.

As for the opportunities he fought so hard to seize in Phoenix Unicorn Immortal Continent, they will naturally become the foundation for his future life.

However, he is unaware that with his departure by the Queen Mother of the West, the situation in the East Sea has completely lost its original balance.

The great battle between the Demon Court and the Purple Mansion Continent truly began from this moment.
