The light that radiated from the Yuqing Realm Qingwei Heaven illuminated Heaven and Earth, like a beam of sunlight entering a dark cave, allowing the Immortal Gods, who had been in turmoil over the Saint's wrath, to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling as though they had been revived.

The oppression from Tongtian, the Sect Hierarch, had really made it difficult for them to catch their breath.

Once they had regained their composure, the Immortal Gods inevitably focused their attention on the words just spoken by Yuanshi Tianzun.

Otherworldly evil demons?

Who is the otherworldly evil demon?

Yu Yuan?

Wasn't he a transformed Innate Primordial Qi who later became an Inner Sect Disciple of the third generation under Golden Spirit Saint Mother of Jie Sect?

How did he suddenly become an otherworldly evil demon?

However, the Saint's words are as precious as gold, he wouldn't invent such things out of thin air, would he?

Upon hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's colossal voice, Yu Yuan's heart had already "thumped," feeling as though he had fallen into an icy pit.

What is an otherworldly evil demon?

Broadly speaking, any creature not born in Primordial could be considered an otherworldly evil demon.

However, typically, the so-called otherworldly evil demons refer to those Demon Path adepts who were expelled from Primordial after the previous conflict between the Dao and the Demon Paths.

These Demon Path adepts wander around in the Chaos, always thinking of returning to Primordial.

They would try every means to sneak into Primordial Heaven and Earth, even by infiltrating the cycle of reincarnation, to change their appearance and disguise their identities, plotting heinously in the shadows.

Yu Yuan knew in his heart that Yuanshi Tianzun might have labeled him as an otherworldly evil demon because he knew from his memory that his previous life was not a creature of Primordial.

At this moment, he could feel all the Immortal Gods around him staring at him with surprise and doubt.

It was rumored that after those Demon Path adepts sneaked into Primordial, they would often employ nefarious methods such as blood sacrifices and vitality theft to quickly restore their Strength...

Because they inherently had a strong foundation, as long as they absorbed enough Spiritual Energy from the outside world, they could ascend to the realm of Quasi-Saints in the shortest time.

This coincided exactly with Yu Yuan's terrifying rate of rapid advancement.

Thinking this way, many Immortal Gods' views of Yu Yuan began to change.

"Nonsense! Utterly ridiculous!"

A crystalline, splendidly brilliant lightning bolt erupted from Purple Ganoderma Cliff into the sky, as a Kui Niu, ten zhang in length,bathed in Upper Pure Divine Night Thunder swiftly ascended to the heavens.

Tongtian, the Sect Hierarch, sat astride the Kui Niu, his black hair hanging down to his waist, wearing the Upper Pure Lotus Crown and a Red White Crane Silk Robe, authoritatively uttered in a low voice:

"Yuanshi!"

"Stop spouting all these unfounded claims, come outside the heavens and have a showdown with me!"

As he spoke, his Qingping Sword materialized from Yuqing Realm Yu Yu Heaven.

Four Immortal Swords, neither gold nor stone, nor iron nor wood, and each with a distinct shape, descended from the sky, each revealing a corner of an Array Map; instantly a haze of yellow mist burst forth, and the aura of slaughter spread in a flash.

At that moment, countless beings in Primordial felt a chill in their hearts.

The Four Swords of Slaying Immortal reappearing in the world clearly indicated that Tongtian, the Sect Hierarch, was truly enraged.

"What should I be afraid of?"

The voice of Yuanshi Tianzun resounded, but then his tone shifted slightly as he spoke indifferently: "I have verified and confirmed his identity, Yu Yuan is indeed an otherworldly evil demon, do you realize you are now sheltering an otherworldly evil demon?"

Tongtian, the Sect Hierarch, angrily retorted: "Whether he is an otherworldly evil demon or not, it's not up to you to decide!"

"Then who does have the right to decide?" Yuanshi Tianzun replied gracefully: "If you refuse to accept it, why not join me and present the case in front of our Teacher at Zixiao Palace, I would like to see whether you can still be so defiant in front of him!"

"As if I would fear you?" Tongtian, the Sect Hierarch said coldly: "Let's go, to Zixiao Palace!"

Having said that, he rode the Kui Niu and instantly disappeared from sight.

On the other side, Yuanshi Tianzun also rode out of Yuxu Palace on his mythical creature, his figure fading away like a bubble and disappeared without a trace.

After the two Saints departed from Primordial Heaven and Earth, the restless elemental qi slowly returned to tranquility.

The Taiyang rose from the east as usual, and Heaven and Earth regained their vibrant colors.

Countless Immortal Gods within the Primordial Heaven and Earth finally emerged from the grand and magnificent coercion of the Saints, with the deep fear and unease in their hearts gradually dissipating.

But along with this, everyone's curiosity rose.

Was Yu Yuan really an otherworldly demon?

Or was this just another conflict between Chan Sect and Jie Sect?

The Immortal Gods discussed fervently, each holding to their own arguments, and the debate went on without end.

Some said it was a conspiracy of the Chan Sect, intended to eliminate Yu Yuan, the formidable enemy; others were adamant that Yu Yuan was a great Demon who had slaughtered countless lives...

Amidst the diversity of opinions, a warning bell rang in Yu Yuan's own heart.

He remembered that in that future timeline, he had been expelled from Primordial by the Taoist Ancestor.

Only now, it seemed the time had come earlier!

Daluo Mountain

In Eight Sceneries Palace, Master Xuan Du, who was tending to the furnace, slightly furrowed his brow and turned his gaze toward the Taiching Saint sitting at the head on a cushion, who seemed to be asleep, motionless, and was about to say something, but in the end, swallowed it back.

He sat in front of the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, his eyes reflecting the Six Ding Divine Fire burning inside, just as restless as his thoughts.

At this moment, the Taiching Saint opened his eyes and looked toward him, softly saying, "With a troubled mind, you cannot refine a superior Golden Core."

Master Xuan Du nodded slightly, pondering as he spoke, "Master, is Yu Yuan really an otherworldly demon?"

The Taiching Saint looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"

Master Xuan Du thought for a moment before seriously saying, "Disciple has had several encounters with him. Although he is uninhibited in speech and eccentric in behavior, acting... somewhat cunning, he is certainly not evil!

On the contrary, he has made many reforms and innovations greatly beneficial to the Human Race.

His junior disciple brother, Wen Zhong, manages Linhuan Pass, turning it into a paradise where the Human Race can live in peace and prosper, all under his guidance...

Therefore, disciple does not believe he is any otherworldly demon!"

The Taiching Saint shook his head, asking, "If he isn't an otherworldly demon, how then could he make those unprecedented changes and innovations?

If he isn't an otherworldly demon, how could he have cultivated to the Primordial Dao Fruit in just over a thousand years?

While you have been cultivating for more than a hundred kalpas and still have not attained Primordial."

"This..."

Master Xuan Du didn't know how to respond.

At this point, the Taiching Saint shifted the subject and said lightly, "However, your two masters are now divided on the issue, so whether Yu Yuan is an otherworldly demon or not cannot be confirmed for the time being. We must wait until they return from Zixiao Palace.

But there is something I must admonish you, which you should keep in mind and take care not to make a mistake."

Master Xuan Du nodded and stood up to bow, saying, "Please enlighten me, teacher!"

The Taiching Saint looked at him and slowly uttered a few words:

"The Dao and Demon Path are irreconcilable!"

Master Xuan Du shuddered slightly, a complex light flashing in his eyes, and then said solemnly, "Disciple understands. If he truly is an otherworldly demon, disciple will do everything in his power to suppress him!"

The Taiching Saint nodded slightly and closed his eyes once again.
