Lord Lao was just about to go for a walk when Nezha blocked him at the door.

"Uncle Master, something's happened!"

Lord Lao still maintained an unfazed demeanor and asked unhurriedly, "What could happen? Is the Primordial about to be destroyed?"

Nezha quickly shook his head, not to that extent.

"It's Second Uncle Master, someone said he's been drained dry!"

Even with Lord Lao's temperament and cultivation, he couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds upon hearing this. Who was drained dry? His second brother Yuan Shi?

He really wanted to say, young man, don't joke around, but since it concerned a Saint, he knew Nezha wouldn't dare joke about it, so he quickly pulled Nezha into Doushuai Temple.

Nezha recounted in detail to Lord Lao about how Jiang Ziya hooked Shen Gongbao and even took out the lotus seed from the Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus.

Lord Lao examined the lotus seed for a moment without directly making a move and said, "Take it to the main body for a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nezha felt Yin Yang invert, his vision blurred, and he found himself in another grand hall, where the Saint Taiqing was sitting cross-legged on an ordinary cushion up above.

"Disciple greets Grand Uncle Master."

Saint Taiqing nodded and pointed at the lotus seed, instantly triggering the information stored within to project inside the hall. Chaos reigned, the image was very blurry, yet at the center a bright clear light could be discerned, surrounded by a bizarre pattern made of countless tentacle-like suckers, with the ends of the tentacles connected to three indescribable entities.

Nezha merely glanced briefly, immediately feeling his Divine Soul being yanked away, consciousness weaving into the endless Chaos, about to be consumed.

His reaction was quick, decisively invoking Pangu's Power, the gray array patterns around him assembled within mere breaths, bursting forth tremendous force within his physical body to pull his distant Divine Soul back inside, as he regained consciousness, eerie screeches echoed around him and he noticed that seventy percent of his mana had been inexplicably siphoned.

With lingering fear, Nezha's eyes, full of gray mist, stared again at the creatures in the image, thinking to himself, rotten scum, given a chance I would definitely hack you to death!

This time Nezha indeed was careless and didn't dodge. He had not expected these Demon Gods to be able to traverse such immense time and space, nearly plotting his demise. With Saint Taiqing by his side, he certainly wouldn't be in danger, but the earlier sensation of being on the brink of death truly made his heart pound.

"Silence."

The tumultuous emotions after a brush with death quickly calmed following the single word from Saint Taiqing, accompanied by an eruption of profound insights. The feeling of not dying is indeed indescribable.

Nezha closed his eyes to organize his newfound insights, while Saint Taiqing nodded, extremely satisfied with his nephew's perceptiveness, then continued to focus on the projection.

For Saint Taiqing, the nearly fatal hidden attack towards Nezha was nothing significant, nor did he remove the method above as it could disrupt the contained information.

The bright light undoubtedly belonged to his second brother, Yuanshi Tianzun, and the bizarre formation created by three Chaos Demon Gods indeed had the power to trap Yuanshi.

Although there was foul play in this image, everything appeared realistic, but Saint Taiqing knew Yuanshi Tianzun was fine. The external Chaos Demon Gods underestimated the bond among the Three Pure Ones.

Not to mention Yuanshi Tianzun being trapped, even if he died outside, he and the Tongtian Sect Master had ways to revive him—this is the confidence of the Three Saints of Pangu's True Sect.

However, this matter was peculiar. The Primordial, for the external Demon Gods, was akin to a forbidden zone, and nobody liked to come here, let alone the boundless Chaos. How did Shen Gongbao encounter this matter, how did he separate from Luo Hou's fusion, and how did Jiang Ziya hook him in the end? Was it a coincidence? There aren't so many coincidences.

Nezha could see the issue, and Saint Taiqing certainly saw it more clearly. This involved the hand of the Daoist Ancestor, who wanted the Saints to leave the Primordial, so he capitalized on the opportunity to provide himself an excuse to leave.

And as I leave, I will certainly find ways to make other Saints leave the Primordial as well to prevent any uncontrollable changes from happening while I'm away. At that point, the Daoist Ancestor can further his agenda of removing all Saints.

As for why he's doing this, Saint Taiqing couldn't fully speculate on the Daoist Ancestor's motivations, but one reason could certainly be that the Primordial had the potential to cultivate another Saint position.

The Daoist Ancestor directed them away to create a 'fair' competitive environment.

Thinking this, he looked at Nezha who was deep in enlightenment. In the eyes of the Saints, this junior disciple had the highest probability of becoming a Saint. Although his own disciple Xuan Du was outstanding in all aspects, staying cooped up at home wouldn't grant him a Saint position.

Actually, this event isn't necessarily a bad thing for the Saints; after all, for them, the Primordial is somewhat of a cage.

Having sorted through his thoughts, Saint Taiqing had already devised a plan for what to do in the future.

Nezha digested the vast spirit light that surged within his mind, recording any unimportant and incomprehensible parts in the Creation Jade Scroll for future contemplation. He opened his eyes to see Saint Taiqing sitting serenely above.

Observing the Saint's state, Nezha assumed the situation was false; otherwise, if his brother were in trouble, even a Saint wouldn't remain so calm. Yet Saint Taiqing's first words shocked him.

"The image is of Yuqing. Although the chances of him encountering danger are slim, I can't ignore it, so later I will join Shangqing to venture into the Chaos."
