Above the skies of Western Sumeru Mountain, deep within the Pure Land.

Saint Zhunti sat cross-legged beneath the Bodhi Ancient Tree filled with the breath of the Great Taoist Mysterious, slowly shaking his head with a sigh, "How wonderful, how wonderful! It's been a while since we've seen him, and Yu Yuan has grown significantly."

"With the speed of this child's growth, I'm afraid he will become a serious threat to our Western Sect in the future."

Not far away, in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, Saint Jie Yin said with seriousness in a low voice.

Saint Zhunti nodded slightly, with a touch of curiosity, "Has he been practicing the Great Dream Heart Sutra during this period?"

"Diligently without lapse," said Saint Jie Yin indifferently. "However, because of the Prayer Beads you gave him that protected his Primordial Spirit, I cannot see clearly to what extent he has cultivated."

Hearing this answer, Saint Zhunti couldn't help but reveal a smile, "It seems that the Great Dream Heart Sutra created by my elder brother is indeed a top-tier Mystical Skill, so much so that even this direct disciple from Jie Sect is fixated on it after practicing it once.

Thus, it appears that this One Qi Immortal of Primordial Chaos will eventually seek refuge under our Western Sect."

"If he could join our Western Sect, that would indeed be most wonderful," said Saint Jie Yin sincerely.

He sat cross-legged on a twelve-rank Merit Golden Lotus, with a Treasure Banner floating in front of him, emitting a faint golden light.

The golden light disappeared into the void, and after a moment, it brought back a Primordial Spirit.

That Primordial Spirit fell to the ground and transformed into a tall, dark-skinned middle-aged man with two horns on his head and a pair of large wings on his back, with an extremely ugly and fierce appearance.

This middle-aged man was none other than the Yaksha King who had just had his physical body destroyed by Yu Yuan.

He was at the brink of despair when he was pulled here by Saint Jie Yin with the Treasure Banner, saving his life.

Regrettably, because all his cultivation was focused on his physical form, now that his body was destroyed, decades of his arduous cultivation were ruined, and even if he were to reconstruct his body, he would need to undergo a lengthy period of hardening to regain his peak condition.

In other words, he was already half-crippled.

At this moment, seeing the two Saints before him, he immediately fell to his knees with a "plop" and said with hopeful eyes, "Paying respects to the two Saints, I beg for your compassionate mercy!"

Saint Jie Yin said indifferently, "I sent you to aid the Chan Sect, but you preferred to fight recklessly without understanding the greater picture, which led to this disaster, this is your karma."

"I beg for your compassionate mercy!" The Yaksha King kept kowtowing, pleading, "From now on I will only follow the commands of the two Saints, never daring to act recklessly again, I beg for your compassionate mercy!"

Saint Jie Yin nodded slightly, reached out to pluck a lotus pod from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, and said indifferently, "Today, I will use the Eight Treasures Lotus Pod to reconstruct your body and also impart to you our Sect's Divine Skills of the six-foot Golden Body."

The Yaksha King was overjoyed beyond measure, repeatedly kowtowing and saying, "Thank you for the grace of the Sect Hierarch, I am willing to go through fire and water to strengthen our Sect, sparing no effort!"

Saint Zhunti smiled and said, "If that's the case, you will go to the Southern Continent thereafter and assist the White Lotus Disciple."

The Yaksha King was stunned for a moment.

Going to the Southern Continent was an arduous task; it was the reserved domain of the Three Sects of Xuanmen, and it was very dangerous for disciples of the Western Sect to preach in the Southern Continent.

It was said that previously, the White Lotus Disciple had been killed once in the Southern Continent, and it was only thanks to the clever methods of the Master that he was brought back to life...

However, the Yaksha King, confident in his profound Dao Xing, was not afraid.

He had even considered leaving the Western Bu Continent to challenge experts from other continents to hone himself.

He did not wish to remain an ignorant frog at the bottom of a well.

Eastern foothills of Longevity Mountain

Four figures appeared in front of Yu Yuan, two men and two women.

The one leading them wore a Green Cloud Crown, donned a brocaded robe, and stepped in Black Cloud Boots, with a full heavenly appearance, regular features, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, a high nose and square mouth, naturally exuding an air of great wealth and honor.

This person was Zhao Gongming, the leader of the Jie Sect's external disciples.

On his left stood a disheveled Daoist with an unkempt beard, holding a Yellow Gourd, his face flushed with a hint of red, and his breath reeking of alcohol.

On the right were two young and beautiful Immortal maidens.

One was dressed in colorful clothes, with a tall and graceful figure and a sway in her body that captivated the eye. She had long, black, dense hair that fell like a waterfall down to her waist, with slightly wavy tips dancing in the wind. Her bright, clear eyes were like stars twinkling on a lake, revealing intelligence and tenderness. The intricate silver threads and jewels on her Immortal Robe were like thousands of stars adorning her, shining with a mesmerizing light.

The other Immortal maiden wore a green robe, with a delicate and petite figure like a blooming bud. Her clear, bright eyes shone with a gem-like green glow. Her slightly upturned eyebrows, like a tender new moon, added a touch of playfulness and cuteness.

Yu Yuan looked at the four of them and respectfully saluted, "Disciple pays respect to Uncle-Master Zhao Gongming, Uncle-Master Ma Sui, Uncle-Master Qiong Xiao… Um, and Uncle-Master Bi Xiao."

"Why do I sense a hint of reluctance in your voice?" The petite Qiong Xiao Fairy raised her eyebrows, expressing discontent, "Do you have any objections to this Uncle-Master?"

"Absolutely not! Uncle-Master must have heard wrongly."

Yu Yuan chuckled.

He was quite familiar with Zhao Gongming, which also led to a good relationship with the Three Immortals.

However, among the Three Immortals, the youngest, Bi Xiao Fairy, had lived through numerous cycles, yet her stature and appearance still resembled that of a petite and adorable young girl, which really made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Of course, this was also because one's appearance reflects the heart, and not because Bi Xiao Fairy was disguising her age with superficial tricks.

As the youngest among the Three Immortals, Bi Xiao Fairy had been well protected by her older brother and two sisters since her transformation. Moreover, due to her perennial retreat for cultivation on Three Immortals Island, her temperament remained as pure and lively as a young girl's.

At this moment, Qiong Xiao Fairy spoke in a low voice, "You stay here honestly, I'll go help our eldest sister."

Having said that, she transformed into a stream of colorful aurora light and shot off.

"Wait for me, I want to help with the fighting too!"

Bi Xiao Fairy also hurriedly transformed into a streak of green light and followed, seemingly very excited and eager.

Zhao Gongming's expression shifted slightly as though he wanted to stop her, but then he shook his head and said with indulgence, "That girl is really..."

In the distance, above the sea of clouds, Randeng Daoist and Nanji Immortal exchanged glances, both with extremely solemn expressions.

They had thought that with aid from the Western Sect, they'd be able to restrain Yun Xiao Fairy while the two of them took the opportunity to overpower Yu Yuan, bring him back to Kunlun Mountain, and hand him over to the Saint Hierarch of their sect. No matter what sophistry he used, he couldn't escape the scrutiny of the Saint and would have to hand over the real Investiture of the Gods.

Then, they could use this to counterstrike against the Jie Sect, and perhaps even have a chance to gain control of the Divine Beating Whip!

However, no sooner had they shown themselves than Zhao Gongming and the others also appeared in hot pursuit.

Without question, Yu Yuan and the entire Jie Sect had already been prepared!

They just hadn't shown their hand, waiting for them to reveal themselves.

At this moment, Zhao Gongming, after watching Bi Xiao Fairy leave, his expression suddenly turned stern, and twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Divine Pearls appeared around him. He looked at Randeng Daoist with a cold gaze and said in a deep voice, "Last time I lost to your Glazed Heart Fire, this time let's compete once more!"

As his voice trailed off, he launched an offensive with determination.

The two were old nemeses.

In terms of Dao Xing, although Randeng Daoist was a veteran powerhouse, Zhao Gongming was every bit his equal.

The reason Randeng Daoist emerged victorious last time was mainly that he leveraged the power of the Yellow Flag of the Central Earth. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the relentless bombardment of twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls, and naturally, there would have been no opportunity to use the Glazed Heart Fire.

Without another word, Zhao Gongming took action. The twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls emanated dazzling light, and five-colored radiant light illuminated the surroundings, revealing the scenery within tens of thousands of miles.

Mountains were shaken to pieces, and nearby peaks were ground into dust, which would scatter like stones with a gust of wind.

Above Randeng Daoist's head, a tangerine-orange Qingyun immediately rose, which, despite being compressed to a hundred yards in size by the majesty of the Ocean Stabilizing Pearls, still had three Dao Flowers on it that shone brightly and were unaffected.

Particularly once the Yellow Flag of the Central Earth in the middle Dao Flower was unfurled, immediately there were countless Golden Lotuses appearing in the sky, swaying and shining.

Although the five-colored radiant light of the Ocean Stabilizing Pearls intimidated in all directions, the Golden Flowers above the Golden Lotuses easily deflected them. As the Golden Lotuses bloomed, the radiant light was gradually pushed back, causing the Qingyun to expand again.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongming immediately switched tactics, dividing the Ocean Stabilizing Pearls in half to bombard Randeng Daoist from all sides.

Randeng Daoist hurriedly summoned the Qiankun Ruler to measure all directions above and below, controlling the space around him, and transported all these Ocean Stabilizing Pearls to an unknown void where they were swallowed by spatial rifts.

Three Dao Flowers trembled on his head, sprinkling beams of light, as the Qingyun descended like a multilayered heavenly curtain. The Yellow Flag of the Central Earth shook gently, continuously creating golden lotuses in the sky.

The two appeared to be equally matched, with neither having the upper hand in the battle, and it seemed a victor wouldn't be decided in a short time.

While the two were fighting, Yu Yuan also turned his head towards Nanji Immortal.

The latter's complexion was extremely ugly, his eyes shifting between Yu Yuan and Golden Hoop Immortal Ma Sui, his brows slightly furrowed, contemplating something.

At this moment, seeing Yu Yuan looking towards him, he quickly said, "Yu Yuan, do you dare to compete with me in magical combat?"

Yu Yuan smiled faintly, turning his gaze to Golden Hoop Immortal Ma Sui beside him.

The latter poured himself a drink from the gourd into his mouth, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, let out a breath laden with the aroma of Immortal Brew, and said, "Wonderful, he can still pick an opponent... come on, watch this!"

With that, he pulled out three golden hoops from his bosom and threw them out.

Nanji Immortal's face changed abruptly, and he waved his walking stick in front of him in defense, but as soon as the three golden hoops touched the stick, they vanished into thin air.

Before he could react, the three golden hoops reappeared without warning around his head, neck, and waist.

In the next instant, Ma Sui pointed at Nanji Immortal and burst into loud laughter, "Tumble!"

As the words echoed, Nanji Immortal's eyes rolled back, and he crashed through the clouds, plummeting like a kite with its string cut towards the forest below.
