Divine Spirit Valley is located in the southern part of Great Shang, surrounded by towering mountains that embrace the broad valley like lush green barriers, protecting this tranquil heaven and earth.

Sunlight pours between the valleys, intoxicated in the embrace of the land, the gentle light illuminating the entire scene.

At this moment, the usually bustling Divine Spirit Valley has fallen silent.

Those little demons previously busy transporting Incense Bronze have long found places to hide, not daring to even show their heads, fearing being affected by the residual waves of battle.

For these lowly demons, even the slightest residual wave could instantly claim their lives.

At the entrance of the valley, Randeng Daoist stands expressionless, unresponsive to Yu Yuan's mockery.

For an inexperienced person, faced with such a scene, they would have likely been thrown into disarray, but what kind of person is Randeng Daoist?

He transformed at an early age, was a guest in Zixiao Palace alongside the saints, and had listened to the teachings of the Taoist Ancestor. Although just a peak Daluo Golden Immortal, never able to achieve the Primordial Dao Fruit, his incredibly long life is his greatest reliance.

Not to mention, he has cultivated diligently for thousands of years without a day of slack. Speaking just of his mana, no one within the same realm can compare.

Moreover, there's his Dao Heart, tempered by the ages.

What great storms hasn't he seen over the endless years?

With his level of Dao Xing, he remains unfazed even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him, certainly not perturbed by Yu Yuan's simple questioning.

Right now, he merely looks at Yu Yuan calmly, unperturbed, saying, "You coming here today, surely it's not just to seek guidance from this poor Daoist? It would be better to be frank about your intentions."

"Vice Sect Hierarch is indeed straightforward!" Yu Yuan praised, smiling, "Today I am here only to ensure that the Xuanmen's Dao is not tainted by other sects. Please step aside, Vice Sect Hierarch.

Of course, if you wish to stop me, feel free to try your luck together with these Western Sect disciples."

Randeng Daoist slightly squints his eyes, weighing the pros and cons.

Beside him, the Pharmacist looks over, his expression quite solemn.

Seeing the two, it's very likely they are communicating using Primordial Spirit Transmission Skill, discussing how to respond.

Yu Yuan does not intervene, merely waiting calmly.

No matter how Randeng Daoist chooses, it is all the same to him.

If the other side chooses to ally with the Western Sect, he can simply fight a great battle with them, then spread the scenes recorded by the Image Retention Pearl across Primordial, continuing to undermine the reputation of the Chan Sect.

For a major sect, reputation and fortune are closely linked.

A tainted reputation leads to a decline in fortune.

Yu Yuan only understood this after seizing treasures at Wuyi Mountain.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect are a "tool" for gathering fortune for the sect; the more renowned they are, the more advantageous it is for the Chan Sect.

But everything has its pros and cons.

Although the Twelve Golden Immortals have amassed a great deal of fortune for the Chan Sect, by being too involved in worldly affairs, they have encountered the calamity of the Red Dust, and the persistent threat of the Three Corpse Worms has brought them close to destruction.

However, Randeng Daoist hesitates for a long time, ultimately choosing to stay out of it.

He neither leaves nor shows any intention of allying with the Western Sect, staying at the entrance of the valley mounted on a sika deer, somewhat like watching a drama unfold.

Yu Yuan does not pay too much attention to this.

Now is not the perfect opportunity to eliminate the opponent, as the opponent possesses the Central Ji Ji Yellow Flag, with just him and Wu Zhi Qi together, they likely can't break through the defense immediately.

If it drags on longer, that Yuqing Saint might come to eliminate this hazard in advance.

After the last incident, Yu Yuan is somewhat apprehensive toward that saint.

Mainly because the opponent really can put aside his pride to strike at him, and it is the kind of strike meant to kill.

Therefore, if he wants to deal with Randeng Daoist, he can only wait for a time when the Yuqing Saint is preoccupied.

At this moment, his target is only the Western Sect.

This Incense Fire Divine Dao must be defeated, else if they are allowed to expand significantly, they might develop an army composed of millions of Incense Fire Gods.

This is because the Incense Fire Divine Dao is a quick way to power.

With a base of believers, it is relatively easy to use the power of faith from incense fir

"Of course, you must hand over the God-controlling Banner."

The God-controlling Banner is an exotic treasure that controls the myriad incense fire divine beings, with which one can command all gods.

This treasure was also discovered through lengthy undercover investigations.

If this God-controlling Banner is not obtained, the Western Sect could retreat today but could always return at any time.

Upon hearing his words, the Pharmacist and others slightly changed their expressions.

The God-controlling Banner is the only means to control the myriad incense fire divine beings, its importance is self-evident, how could they possibly hand it over?

"It seems that my fellow Daoist does not wish to form this good connection with me..."

Beneath the Pharmacist, a Seven-colored Lotus Platform appeared, upon which he sat cross-legged in the void, loudly chanting in agreement: "This poor Daoist humbly asks for guidance from the fellow Daoist!"

Along with his words, countless Golden Lotuses surged and endless heavenly flowers fell.

A world manifested behind him, where countless beings struggled to survive, their faces filled with mournful and sorrowful expressions, helplessly wailing and praying to the ruler in the dark.

Birth, aging, sickness, death, love parting, grudging encounters, unfulfilled desires, and five aggregates aflame... These eight types of suffering shook the Dao Heart of Yu Yuan in accordance with the laws of cause and effect.

Greed, rage, ignorance, arrogance, doubt, these five poisons simultaneously flared, attempting to cloud Yu Yuan's true heart.

This is a divine skill comprehended by the Pharmacist, called "Five Aggregates All Suffering".

This divine skill transforms all sufferings in the world into five poisons that directly invade the opponent's Dao Heart, clouding and corroding their Dao Heart, thereby causing the opponent to lose the will to fight, achieving victory without battle.

Moreover, if the opponent cannot escape from the erosion of these eight sufferings, they might even suffer setbacks in their Dao Heart, decay in their Dao cultivation, and become dispirited and downhearted, which is also very likely.

The Pharmacist used this move because he knew of Yu Yuan's divine strength and immense physical power, but ultimately his short cultivation period and limited experience made the "Five Aggregates All Suffering" strike directly at his faults.

With the use of "Five Aggregates All Suffering," Yu Yuan's expression also turned odd.

His face slightly twisted, his lips trembling, as if enduring something.

Seeing his state, the Pharmacist felt very assured, as if he already held the winning ticket, and indifferently said: "My fellow Daoist need not force yourself, this poor Daoist's 'Five Aggregates All Suffering' primarily cultivates the heart.

Although you have great divine skills, ultimately with short cultivation and shallow experience, it's natural that you can't bear the worldly eight sufferings and five poisons.

If you leave right now and seek a tranquil place to quietly nurture your nature, it can also be a great gain for you in polishing your Dao Heart."

Hearing this, White Lotus Disciple also breathed a sigh of relief, quickly complimenting: "Well said, well said! Such sufferings can only be endured by someone with a great compassionate heart like Elder Brother."

Yaksha King stared intensely at Yu Yuan, his gaze filled with both anticipation and reluctance, extremely complex.

He hoped for Yu Yuan's defeat, but he also hoped that the opponent would lose at his hands.

Randeng Daoist also stared at Yu Yuan, a slight surprise in his eyes, then he looked at the Pharmacist thoughtfully, seemingly very interested in his "Five Aggregates All Suffering".

Despite his wide knowledge and experience, this divine skill was a brand-new method to him.

Using worldly eight sufferings to form the five poisons that directly attack the opponent's Dao Heart.

This method is perfect to use against Yu Yuan, who was a young genius with advanced cultivation.

Compared to the others' relaxation and triumph, Wu Zhi Qi next to Yu Yuan was somewhat nervous.

If Yu Yuan were defeated, the Pharmacist and others might not dare to harm Yu Yuan, but they definitely wouldn't let him off easily!

In his nervousness, he saw Yu Yuan's body trembling and the trembling becoming more intense, until finally, he burst out laughing with a "puff".

Yes, he was laughing!

Moreover, it was a belly-laugh kind of laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

He held his abdomen with both hands and laughed continuously, the boisterous laughter surged like waves, causing everyone present to look at each other in confusion.

His smile was very pure, not feigned, but a true inner joy, unable to stop laughing and rocking back and forth, his eyes squinting into slits, cheeks flushed, mouth wide open showing off neat, white teeth.

The Pharmacist was stunned, hardly believing his eyes and ears.

His "Five Aggregates All Suffering" was meant to transform worldly sufferings into five poisons, directly attacking the Dao Heart, the affected should only feel various kinds of pain, so where did this joy come from?

Others also looked at him somewhat dazedly.

Yu Yuan's laughter continued for quite a while, until he stopped, trying to control his laughter, cheerfully said: "If we're going to fight, just fight, why joke around?

Don't think that just because you've cheered me up, I'll go easy on you later."

God forbid, cheering you up!

Hearing Yu Yuan's words, the Pharmacist almost doubted his life.

But he racked his brains and still couldn't understand what had happened.

Randeng Daoist, watching from a distance, slightly squinted his eyes, his gaze intense as he stared at Yu Yuan, seemingly deep in thought.
