As Yu Yuan sized up everyone, Emperor Jun and others were also sizing him up.

At this moment, he had already shown his "True Body," transforming from the stunning Taiyi Goddess into a chubby, young Daoist.

He was dressed in a Daoist robe as white as clouds, and his round, somewhat naive face was filled with a harmless and kindly smile, which was very endearing.

"Is Daoist friend the Xuan Yangzi?"

Emperor Jun looked at Yu Yuan curiously, his voice calm and steady, exuding great strength.

"Indeed!"

Yu Yuan nodded boldly: "I haven't changed my name or surname; I am Xuan Yangzi!"

"Your master isn't Zhen Yuanzi, is he?" Emperor Jun smiled and said, "He himself has only recently become a Quasi-Saint, I don't think he could nurture someone like you.

Would you be able to tell us your true origin?"

At these words, everyone present turned their gaze towards Yu Yuan.

Including Red Cloud Ancestor and Xi He who were standing behind Yu Yuan.

Having witnessed his power and methods during his havoc in the Heavenly Court, no one believed he was a disciple of Zhen Yuanzi anymore.

After all, the things he had done were things that perhaps even Zhen Yuanzi himself couldn't achieve.

"Hehe..."

Seeing everyone staring at him intently, Yu Yuan chuckled and said: "Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll kindly tell you... Listen well!"

He stood with his hands behind his back, chanting in a low voice:

"Before Heaven and Earth were formed, I was born; I have seen Pangu creating the Primordial chaos.

When all things were born and divided into Dao and Demon, I watched as the three tribes fought for supremacy."

"Sss!"

As Yu Yuan chanted, several people in the crowd gasped sharply.

Before Heaven and Earth were formed, I was born; I have seen Pangu creating the Primordial chaos!

If this were true, wouldn't that give him an origin similar to that of the Taoist Ancestor?

Among those present, even the oldest among them, Kunpeng Ancestor, was born after the creation of Heaven and Earth, the first Kunpeng in existence, surviving from the Beast Era.

In terms of seniority, he was of the same generation as The Three Pure Ones, Fu Xi, and Nuwa, living for an exceedingly long time.

Yet even he wouldn't dare to claim "Before Heaven and Earth were formed, I was born"!

Everyone present was a renowned figure of great power, more privy to secrets than ordinary Immortal Gods.

They knew only a handful of people were qualified to make such a claim.

Taoist Ancestor Hong Jun, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, and a few others like Yang Mei, Qian Kun, and Yin Yang...

They shared one identity—they were Innate Chaotic Demon Gods who had survived the calamity of the creation of Heaven and Earth.

They were born before the creation, within the chaos of Primordial chaos, and witnessed Pangu God creating the Primordial chaos...

Before Heaven and Earth were formed, I was born; I have seen Pangu creating the Primordial chaos!

Could this guy actually be like the Taoist Ancestor and others, an Innate Chaotic God Demon?

Everyone present was stunned looking at Yu Yuan, only Donghuang Taiyi remained detached, his eyes gleaming with disdain and scorn, and he said indifferently, "Stop pretending here."

His chilly gaze fell on Yu Yuan, "I can see the Time Law enhancing you, you don't belong to this time and space, yet you seem very familiar with us...

You must be from some future time and space?

What exactly are you?"

Hearing his words, everyone came back to their senses, their gaze towards Yu Yuan filled with even more astonishment.

This fellow is from the future?

Then how dare he wreak havoc in the Heavenly Court?

Isn't he afraid of changing this era and invoking the punishment of the Heavenly Dao?

Among those present, Kunpeng Ancestor reacted the most violently.

At this moment he stared angrily at Yu Yuan and scolded, "Last time when you seized my Treasure Vase and Yin Yang Treasure Seal, I had my suspicions... You truly do not belong to this era!

Emperor, quickly use the Chaos Bell to stabilize time and space, lest he slips away like last time!"

"No need for the Demon Master to remind me, this area's time and space have already been suppressed by my Chaos Bell," Donghuang Taiyi stated calmly.

Hearing this, Yu Yuan's heart shivered, and he covertly communicated with the little broken bell within his Primordial Spirit.

Essentially, the little broken bell itself was still in the "future."

To be precise, as the medium for his time and space travel, the little broken bell existed simultaneously in both the past and the future, but only Yu Yuan from the "future" could interact with it.

Additionally, only a few people like Taiyi and Kunpeng, who are proficient in the Time Dao, might faintly sense the presence of such a cross-temporal power.

Now that Donghuang Taiyi used the power of the Chaos Bell to suppress time and space, it didn't have any effect on Yu Yuan.

Because the power aiding Yu Yuan in his time travels was also the Chaos Bell!

Although the forces came from different times, undoubtedly, both belonged to the time-twisting power of the Chaos Bell.

Once Yu Yuan confirmed that the little broken bell could still take him back, he finally relaxed.

At this moment, Red Cloud Ancestor finally understood his history and asked in surprise through the Primordial Spirit Transmission Method: "Does this mean that the Great Witch you transformed into last time on Wuyi Mountain was also you?

Why do you keep risking yourself to help me?

Could it be... you are my disciple from the future?"

"You wish!"

Yu Yuan responded irritably, then said seriously: "I'll tell you another time, now is not the moment for this discussion, we need to find a way to escape from the Heavenly Court."

"There's no other way," bemoaned Red Cloud Ancestor with a wry smile. "With Donghuang Taiyi present, it's impossible for us to escape. I'm not worried about myself, but involving you truly leaves me restless."

"Heaven never bars one's way completely, it's too early to give up," Yu Yuan consoled. "Don't you still have a hostage? Later, try to use her to negotiate your escape.

Trading one hostage for the two of us may be difficult, but trading for just you might be feasible."

"No!" Red Cloud Ancestor rejected his proposal without hesitation.

"Either we leave together, or you go first!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuan knew that the plan was likely doomed.

Red Cloud Ancestor wasn't someone without his own opinions or a weakling; he was a Quasi-Saint of great power, upright and benevolent. How could he possibly think of escaping alone?

Primordial Spirit Transmission is much faster than spoken words, and although he and Red Cloud Ancestor babbled a lot, it was all in an instant, and even Emperor Jun could hardly perceive it.

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi looked over at him again, his indifferent, icy gaze conveying a 'keep away from strangers' aloofness.

He spoke indifferently, "What exactly is your origin? And... this era should be history to you. You recklessly change the established history without seeming to fear the punishments of the Heavenly Dao, why is that?"

Yu Yuan looked at him and smiled. "Didn't I just tell you my origin? Oh, right, I haven't finished my definitive poem yet... ahem, listen up!"

He cleared his throat, prepared himself, and recited to the crowd:

"Before Heaven and Earth were formed, I was born, I witnessed Pangu creating the cosmos.

All things evolved, divided into Dao and Demon, while I watched the three races struggle for supremacy.

I ignored Zixiao's lectures, preferring to roam freely through the Primordial lands with my wine.

Should you ask who I am, my Dao goes by Xuan Yang, known to all!"

Upon finishing the last line, the faces of everyone present changed instantly.

'Naive of sons!', a term a father uses for his children!

To translate his last sentence in plain terms would yield four big words—

"I am your dad!"

"This kid is taking advantage of us!"

Ji Meng, with the body of a dragon and the head of a man, straightforward by nature, immediately figured it out and shouted "Seeking death!" as he thrust a long spear towards Yu Yuan.

"Leave him to me!"

Kunpeng Ancestor also dashed towards Yu Yuan, shouting loudly, "Return my Great Dao treasure vase and the Yin Yang Treasure Seal immediately, or you will not escape death today!"

Facing the aggressive strikes of the two, Yu Yuan did not dodge or evade but simply pulled the fairy whose hands were extended in front of him, then dispelled the Blinding Technique shrouding her.

In an instant, a goddess with Jade Skin and supernatural bones revealed her true form.

She appeared to be around twenty, with a face as clear and enchanting as a newly bloomed lotus, lustrous and white.

Her beautiful face included a pair of narrow phoenix eyes with long eyelashes fluttering, a straight nose slightly hooked at the end, coupled with those thin lips, bestowed her a dignified and noble air.

However, at this moment, a faint black qi hovered over her face, and a crimson needle in her forehead rendered her unable to move and nearly shattered her Primordial Spirit.

Had her Dao Xing not been profound, she might have perished by now.

As she revealed her True Body, both Ji Meng and Kunpeng immediately withdrew.

Others who were ready to strike also paused their actions, not daring to act rashly.

Yu Yuan had anticipated this outcome, smiling as he turned to Emperor Jun, "How about a life for a life?"

Without any hesitation, Emperor Jun responded coldly, "Taiyi, take action. Capture them both, but keep them alive."

Yu Yuan was a bit surprised and retorted, "No need to bother, I'll return the Lady of Taiyin to you!"

As he spoke, he removed the fine needle from Xi He's forehead and looked at Emperor Jun in admiration, "Indeed, your majesty the Demon Emperor is a heroic character, dismissing his own partner without hesitation.

Unlike me, who is soft-hearted, unable to bear seeing women suffer."

"Ptui!"

Qin Yuan Demon Saint could not help but spit in disgust.

Yu Yuan was unfazed, using Xi He as a weapon, he threw her, fleeing with Red Cloud Ancestor in a tunneling light.

"Duang!"

The sound of a bell echoed.

The entire space seemed to have turned into a mire.

Yu Yuan and Red Cloud Ancestor, who should have covered thousands of miles in an instant, appeared as though taking a leisurely stroll, barely making it ten miles.

"You cannot escape!"

Emperor Jun, now genuinely enraged, bellowed with a frosty face, "I know you're trying to buy time, waiting for someone to rescue you...

But now you might as well give up that hope!

I tell you, even if you can delay for longer, no one can rescue you from the Heavenly Court!"

Before his words fell, a clear and curious voice rang out,

"Really? No one can do that?"

In that instant, the faces of everyone present changed, and they looked in the direction of the voice at once.

Standing majestically atop the East Heavenly Gate, unbeknownst when, was a young Daoist.

His black hair hung down his waist, crowned with a Furong Crown, dressed in a Red White Crane Silk Robe, with arching sword-like eyebrows, his handsome face carried a hearty smile, and he exuded an air of nonchalance and easy elegance.

Emperor Jun's expression slightly stiffened, his eyes reflecting surprise, doubt, anger, and the remaining seven parts turned into unease.

Beside him, Donghuang Taiyi also changed his previously indifferent and aloof appearance.

He stared at the young Daoist, his demeanor exceedingly grave, with the Chaos Bell above his head spinning incessantly, as if facing a great enemy.

"Shangqing... Tongtian!"
