Changliu Mountain, where the divine Emperor Shao Hao resides.

The beasts all have ornate tails; the birds, ornate heads. The place is rich with ornate jade stones.

That day, a gust of wind arose within the depths of Changliu Mountain.

As the wind passed through the world, it carried a certain grave solemnity.

In the hazy realm, beyond the grasp of mortals, two innate spiritual lights transformed into their respective manifestations of the Dao.

Three thousand laws moved with thought, evolving into the boundless.

In the muddled chaos, a white tiger clawed through the heavens, and a golden saber light cleaved through the void, the killing intent of Geng Metal Sword sending ripples through the Great Dao River, surging and tumultuous.

"My fellow Daoist, your prowess in slaughter grows ever stronger!" A languid tone fell from the void, as if in praise.

"How does it compare to the Lord of Killing of the days above the Blood Sea?" A robust voice carried a unique boldness.

"This cannot be easily compared, for I have never crossed blades with the Master of Blood Sea." Emperor Shao Hao softly shook his head, his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes brimming with a heroic air, his image open and candid in a flowing white robe, moving with the wind, like a crane dancing among the clouds, like a dragon roaming the Canghai.

Opposite him stood a burly man with a golden saber on his back, unwavering amidst the true intent of the raging wind.

His rough jawline and deep brown eyes were filled with calm and confidence, and within his restrained aura hid a fearsome saber intent.

This man was one of the thirty-six monarchs of the Qilin Clan.

White Tiger God Monarch—Guard Soldier.

However, at this moment, the White Tiger God Monarch had assumed another form—the Golden Saber Guest.

This Golden Saber Guest had once sparred with Fu Xi, "the white tiger of Floating Jade Mountain with a saber on its back" referred to this man.

At the last assembly in the Taiwei Constellation, Fu Xi had exposed his identity.

"In this West Pole, there are only so many gods worthy of challenging, once I'm done with you, I shall continue my journey; the Blood Sea awaits my visit."

After speaking, the Golden Saber Guest faced the white-robed figure head on.

His wide sleeves unfurled, and the golden saber rose again.

The raging wind howled, and countless killings moved with it, the terrifying aura swallowing the heavens and earth, stirring the Geng Metal Primordial Qi of the entire West Pole into a frenzy.

Emperor Shao Hao smiled, his finger pointing forth, one sword stroke after another.

Sharp sword lights turned into myriad sword shadows, piercing the boundless raging wind.

The sword intent was unceasing, steadily eroding the vast might of the Saber Guest.

"Taibai, Taibai, are you there? It's time for the meeting! No tardiness or absences allowed!"

At that moment, Xuanqing's voice reached Emperor Shao Hao's ears.

He nodded slightly: [Received!]

A point of True Spirit took to the sky, heading towards the Taiwei Constellation.

"Mind wandering afar?"

The Golden Saber Guest sensed Emperor Shao Hao's distraction during their battle, becoming immediately enraged, his tiger eyes wide open.

"Are you looking down on me?!"

"No, no, no, my friend, I truly have something to attend to." Emperor Shao Hao chuckled sheepishly.

Being caught while his mind was elsewhere, his expression was unnatural, a tad embarrassed.

"This matter cannot be delayed! We must fight again!" The Golden Saber Guest roared, nearly bursting into laughter.

This is a fight, not a meal!

Can't you show some respect?

"There's really no need," said Emperor Shao Hao. "We've more or less had a good match."

"What do you mean 'more or less'?!" The Golden Saber Guest was far from satisfied, clearly disgruntled. "In matters of the Dao, can it ever be 'close enough'? Even the slightest miss is a world of difference!"

"No, you will not leave today until we finish this duel!"

"My Dao has been fully revealed to you."

Emperor Shao Hao hesitated, then spoke, "How about I recommend another deity for you to compete with? I'm sure it'll be satisfying."

"Who?"

"One who gambles on stones."

~~~~~

"Eh? My junior brother seems to be talking about me."

In the Western Desolate Land, a speck of dust mirrored a radiant world.

Jieyin returned to the Spiritual Mountain Pure Land after making a fortune in White Jade City.

In this Pure Land, infinite heavens floated above, and the lustrous light from the glass-like treasures shone in all directions.

A Bodhi Tree took root in the void, its crown spreading boundlessly, linking to the ancient starry sky, each crystal-clear leaf sustaining a galaxy.

Under the Bodhi Tree, space and time intertwined.

There sat a figure, perpetually in meditation.

With a flower in hand and a smile on his face, he exuded dignity as he spoke of the Vajra Prajna, preaching the essence of supreme wisdom.

Each word he uttered spoke volumes of the infinite, past and present.

Returning Jieyin looked toward the dais underneath the Bodhi Tree.

"Dharma Form? Where has my junior brother gone this time?"

He shook his head, holding a Purple Gold Bowl in his hand as he walked towards a Lotus Pond.

The Lotus Pond had golden lotuses blooming, its waters clear and revealing the bottom. Small ripples gently moved across the tranquil surface.

In the center of the pond, a Merit Golden Lotus blossomed with twelve grades.

The water shimmered, casting Infinite Golden Light.

Splish, splash, splish...

Jieyin turned over his hand, pouring the primordial spiritual materials and spiritual elixirs he earned into the Merit Pool.

Seeing the level of the pool rise a little more, a satisfied smile appeared on Jieyin's face.

"Gathering sand to form a tower, accumulating little to make much."

"These are the startup funds for my junior brother and me!"

Watching the level of the Merit Pool rise bit by bit, Jieyin's heart was full.

The shining gold was a sight to behold.

Just then, a fearsome saber light swept across the Desolate Land.

"I've found you!" A loud laugh echoed.

The wind roared as the Golden Saber Guest crossed the boundary between reality and illusion, finding the Spiritual Mountain.

"Eh? What?"

"Who are you?! How did you find this place!"

Jieyin looked at the sudden entrance of [Golden Saber Guest], as the breath of the storm swept across the twenty-four heavens, shattering the infinite golden light.

He was truly bewildered.

But in the next moment, Jieyin came to his senses.

Aside from his junior brother, who else could locate the marker to the Pure Land of Spiritual Mountain?

"Junior brother!!"

Jieyin's face turned grave, his teeth clenched, and a cold sneer twisted at the corner of his mouth: "Oh, inviting 'guests' home again, are you?"

"Are you the stone gambler?"

[Golden Saber Guest] stood in the void, his robe fluttering.

He crossed his arms over his chest, tilted his chin up, and looked at Jieyin with arrogance.

"Yes, I am the stone gambler."

Jieyin's expression returned to calm, and with a wave of his hand, the Seven Treasures Miao Tree appeared, radiating the divine light of colored glaze throughout.

"Remember, the one who kills you is [Zhunti Taoist]!"

[Golden Saber Guest] raised an eyebrow: "Oh, quite arrogant. No wonder Emperor Shao Hao sent me to test you."

"Zhunti, is it? Fine! Tiger Lord here will indulge in some meat today."

"Let's battle!"

Boom!

The heavens roared, and golden light erupted.

The profound Great Dao collided instantly.

In the Cycle Star Sky, the Taibai Divine Star.

The image of [Emperor Shao Hao] had changed.

His face stern, his demeanor indifferent, he wore a Red Gold Star Crown and Cloud Shoes, his garment the white robe of cranes and mist, held a Jade Scroll, and hung a Geng Metal Sword and White Jade Ring at his waist.

Just as [Emperor Shao Hao] was about to step out of the Taibai Divine Star, he suddenly paused, sensing something as he glanced at the Primordial Land.

"Humph! Elder brother, I knew you had swapped my identity to go out again."

Shao Hao huffed lightly, retracting his gaze.

He slowly stepped off the Taibai Divine Star, golden light rising from beneath his feet, reaching the outer realms of the Taiwei Constellation.

"Eh? Everyone's here so soon?"

[Water Star Venerable] Ancestor Dragon appeared with a cheerful grin, noting the six beams of light already standing firm in the space-time.

Adding himself and the newly arrived Taibai, there were eight.

He also saw Luo Hou, dressed in black, oozing with the aura of Evil Gods and Demons.

Water Star quickly edged closer to [Golden Bright Taibai Venerable].

"Let's give Jidou some face for this first grand meeting of the Taiwei Constellation."

[Sun Sun Venerable] spoke out, this time's attendee being Taiyi.

After a brief wait.

[Ying Huo Supreme] Yuan Huang arrived.

She donned a Divine Fire Star Crown, stepped in Red Shoes, wore a Cloud and Mist Robe, held a Jade Scroll, and swung a Red Gold Sword at her waist with a Flame Ring.

She greeted everyone: "Hello everyone, long time no see."

"Missed the last gathering due to some mishaps."

"I too had some mishaps." [Void Bright Moon Beishang Venerable] Ming River appeared at the same time, smiling and saluting the assembly of deities.

"We all know that."

[Zhen Xing Venerable] Zhen Yuanzi said with a chuckle.

Everyone laughed.

Being duped to death, who wouldn't know?

[Wood Star Venerable] Fu Xi looked at Zhen Yuanzi in surprise: "Zhen Xing friend, when did you become so serious?"

"I don't appreciate that comment."

Looking displeased, Zhen Yuanzi said, "I'm the chatterbox wood today."

"I must tell you, you shouldn't be biased against me."

"Though I might occasionally be unserious during the meetings at Taiwei, in truth, that's my cultivation."

"How can cultivation be unserious? I am breathing with the Dao, sharing the fate."

"Just as now, I am the chatterbox wood. And why is that? Because..."

Once Zhen Yuanzi started, it was like opening a floodgate of words.

He chattered nonstop into the ear of Fu Xi.

Instead of getting annoyed, Fu Xi's face revealed an expression of letting go.

That's right!

That's the spirit!

[Moon Bright Taiyin Supreme] Wang Shu laughed lightly, covering her mouth: "Let's go, let us all proceed together."

The gods gathered and entered Taiwei together.

Thump~~

The tranquil star curtain emitted a soft sound, like a droplet of water falling into a deep, serene pond, waves of time rippling out.

In an instant, heaven and earth turned upside down, the eight directions reversed, and stars shifted places.

"I'm very pleased that everyone is so considerate!"

At the far end of the Chaos colored long table, at the most prominent seat, Xuanqing crossed his arms and rested his chin on top, smiling at the gods.

"Please take a seat."

This time, the Venerables of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth were seated on the right.

The Venerables of Sun, Moon, Hidden, Jing, and Void took their seats on the left, respectively.

Under the dome constructed of numerous laws, eleven ancient stars spiraled above, transposing in sequence.

The serious atmosphere lasted only an instant.

[Jing Yao Venerable] was the first to speak up: "I've recently developed a new elixir!"

"Does anyone need it? I'll provide it for free!"
