Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.

A saint escaped from the hands of a quasi-saint—what an obscure statement.

"Stop for now, I'll agree on behalf of my junior brother!" Jieyin's eyes reddened with heartache. These two wretched children!

His junior brother, who had been by his side for tens of thousands of years!

"Senior Uncle Sanqing..." Kong Xuan continued striking the Chaos Bell, turning his head to look at the saints.

"Stop," Tongtian said, suppressing a laugh. "If he dares to try and escape, I will kill him on his own!"

"Yes!" Kong Xuan immediately held the Chaos Bell in his palm, the seven-colored space was deactivated, and the spiritual treasures belonging to the immortals flew back into their hands. The phantom of the Yuan Phoenix re-integrated into his body. He tugged at the Golden Roc, who looked at Zhunti with a regretful expression.

He laughed heartily: "I'm sorry, Uncle-Master Zhunti, you are a saint after all, and my elder brother and I cannot hold back."

The void was completely silent. Everyone, from the saints to the numerous immortals and gods, looked at each other with strange eyes. This guy really has a sharp tongue.

You two mid-stage Quasi-Saints have beaten a Saint to this state, what more do you want?

Zhunti trembled, and upon hearing Jinpeng's words, he let out a muffled groan and spat out blood again.

Jin Peng blinked innocently. Was he so angry that he vomited blood?

Laozi shook his head, flicked his sleeve, and his magical power surged in, restoring the rosy complexion of the two who had been pale from excessive exertion.

The Primordial voice chuckled, "What do you want to ask? Speak quickly!"

Kong Xuan bowed: "I have formed a karmic bond with the Five Elements, and I have also refined the Seven Treasures Tree of my master. I ask my master to guarantee that he will never cause trouble for my brother and me in the future."

Zhunti glared at him fiercely, "You've done this to me, and you still expect me not to retaliate? Is that even possible?"

I am the most narrow-minded and shameless saint in the primordial world. Haven't you heard this rumor?

Seeing the fierce glint in Zhunti's eyes, Jinpeng lightly shook the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler: "Uncle-Master Jieyin, you promised!"

The Three Pure Ones also took out their Dao-proving spiritual treasures, looking at Zhunti with displeasure. "We only released you because we didn't want the Heavenly Dao Saints to lose face completely. How dare you disrespect us..."

Seeing the threat in the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti looked sullen. Kong Xuan pointed at the Chaos Bell: "Uncle-Master, don't forget, the Seven Treasures Tree is still here!"

"You..." Zhunti was furious. How could he, a dignified saint, be forced to this point by two juniors!

"Junior brother, agree!" Jieyin sighed.

Zhunti closed his eyes, swallowed his anger, and began to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao: "Heaven above, I, Zhunti, hereby settle my karmic debt with Kong Xuan, and I will never again take action because of today's matter. If I break this oath, may the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder descend immediately."

"Boom—" Thunder roared as the oath of Heaven was made.

Kong Xuan and Jin Peng breathed a sigh of relief. Their main goal was the latter. After all, although they had a lot of fun fighting just now, they still had to be vigilant afterward.

The two felt the threads of cause and effect binding them break, instantly freeing them from all constraints.

"Give it to me!" Zhunti's face was ashen; he had suffered a great loss today.

Kong Xuan picked up the Chaos Bell, and the Seven Treasures Tree and a hand flew out instantly. Just as they were about to connect with Zhunti, a ray of lunar radiance suddenly descended from the void, sealing them off.

"唳——"

The Five Phoenix Soaring Chariot swept through the void, its curtains parted, revealing a stunningly beautiful woman with an elegant and noble demeanor. She stepped out of the chariot, radiating a faint halo around her, and her mere presence inspired awe and reverence.

"Greetings, Queen!"

"Greetings, Martial Uncle!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

In an instant, all the immortals bowed in greeting, and even the saints clasped their hands in homage. Yaochi nodded and said, "Greetings, fellow Daoists."

"Mother, why have you descended to the mortal realm?" Longji, dressed in a red dress, flew over and asked curiously.

"I have something to take care of," Yaochi said softly, stroking her hair.

Tongtian asked with a strange expression, "Why hasn't the Heavenly Emperor come?"

Kong Xuan Jinpeng is a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor, so he's the most suitable person to come!

"Isn't my presence enough?" Yaochi glanced at him indifferently, her aura emanating from her, and all the saints fell silent.

Seeing that the Heavenly Empress was able to trap the Seven Treasures Tree using the Taiyin Law, one knows that she is not far from attaining enlightenment. At this moment, the law is overflowing...

Nuwa sighed. When she attained sainthood, she also experienced this overflow of laws, but for the sake of the demon race, she ultimately could not wait any longer.

If she had another ten years, she would also attain enlightenment through the laws!

Yaochi withdrew her gaze. Her senior brother now only had one Emperor's Law left in his body. If you knew this, who knows what might happen.

"I wonder why Your Majesty is preventing this humble Taoist from taking back the Seven Treasures Tree?" Zhunti asked coldly.

With his strength, he could naturally sweep away the Taiyin Moon Essence and retrieve the Dao-proving treasure. After all, Yaochi has not yet truly attained Dao, but if he breaks the seal, the Heavenly Emperor will probably be the one to arrive.

He had just been taught a lesson by the summoned Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image, so he naturally needed to learn from his mistakes.

"Take it back? I think it should be exchanged back!" Yaochi's red lips parted, a mocking smile on her face. "The Seven Treasures Tree is Kong Xuan's spoils of war; how dare you take it back so easily?"

As she spoke, she glanced helplessly at the two of them. They were still too inexperienced. If it were her senior brother, he could even knock on the Eight Treasures Merit Pool. These two had actually returned the Seven Treasures Tree to Zhunti for nothing.

The blessing of the Dao-proving treasure to a sage is greater than that of an ordinary innate treasure. After all, since one cultivates both life and nature, Zhunti would be willing to exchange them!

"What does Your Majesty want?" Zhunti sighed deeply. No matter what, the Seven Treasures Tree must be retrieved.

"Of the ten primordial spiritual roots, the Heavenly Court either possesses them or knows their whereabouts, but the Bitter Bamboo Root remains elusive. If you know of it, please bring it out!"

Jieyin's eyes flickered slightly, and Zhunti raised his head: "The Heavenly Court has impressive methods!"

"The ten supreme innate spiritual roots each represent a portion of destiny. You two haven't refined them into spiritual treasures; are you planning to cultivate a third saint for the Western Sect?"

The saints' expressions changed. Everyone knew that Zhunti was the manifestation of the Bodhi tree, and if Kuzhu was indeed a manifestation, he truly possessed the qualities of a saint!

Jieyin took a deep breath, grabbed towards Mount Sumeru, and a green bamboo pole with a grayish tinge appeared, humming a mournful sound without wind, conveying all kinds of suffering.

Yaochi took it and examined it carefully. Zhunti remained silent for a moment and said, "It has not developed intelligence even after several eons. It is extremely difficult for a top-grade innate spiritual root to take human form."

In the entire primordial world, he was the only one!

"Plant it in the Peach Garden. If it can develop intelligence, that's fine. If not, use bamboo and rice to refine its heart. Even if it fails, it can still be refined into a top-grade innate spiritual treasure."

Yaochi said nonchalantly, "The Heavenly Court doesn't lack these things."

"This lenient treatment is due to the great calamity of the primordial era. My two senior brothers, it's best not to overstep your bounds, whether it's the Chan Sect or the Jie Sect. This is a message from my senior brother to you two!"

Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions changed. Did they find out?

Tongtian frowned deeply: "Junior Sister, what do you mean by that?"

"Once the Investiture of the Gods is over, everything will become clear." Yaochi shook her head, unwilling to say more. In any case, the Jie Sect must be destroyed!

"You should be able to sense that Kong Xuan Jinpeng attained the Golden Words through the help of luck, not because Senior Brother secretly intervened," Yaochi said casually, glancing at Kong Xuan.

Zhunti smiled bitterly. Of course he knew, otherwise he wouldn't have found it so hard to accept.

After all, if the Heavenly Emperor were to make a move, even a single glance from someone at the Seventh Heaven of the Primordial Chaos Realm would render them powerless.

"My two nephews naturally defeated the sage on their own merits!" Zhunti acknowledged this.

"Buzz—"

Kong Xuan's body trembled, and his primordial spirit instantly became clear, as if something was about to fall off!

"The Corpse of Obsession!"

The saints' eyes widened instantly. Hadn't he just broken through not long ago?

Yaochi was startled. As expected, her senior brother only instructed her to guide Zhunti to say these words. If Kong Xuan's opportunity came, he would surely gain some understanding.

Kong Xuan's aura continued to rise, and five small flags appeared behind his tail feathers, but his obsession could not be put down.

Lao Tzu shook his head and pointed a finger to seal it: "You've only just broken through, your foundation is insufficient, cultivate for a while longer."

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother!" Yaochi said gratefully.

"It's alright, it's alright, our Xuanmen has a worthy successor!" Laozi stroked his beard and chuckled.

"Having understood your obsession, you will naturally be able to sever it once your cultivation reaches a certain level." Yuan Shi's tone was filled with admiration.

"Thank you, Senior Uncle." Kong Xuan calmed down, bowed to Laozi, and then bowed to Yaochi. "Thank you for your guidance, Martial Uncle."

"It was my senior brother who instructed me to do it." Yaochi gave Zhunti a strange look.
