Sword of the Nine Heavens, the Fall of the Gods

Just as Taoist Lu Ya was talking to Sun Wukong, the sky suddenly became extremely bright, like daytime.

I saw thousands of auspicious lights and golden lanterns in the sky, as if countless stars were twinkling, and waves of strange fragrance came with the wind.

In this auspicious light, an old man slowly descended.

He had kind eyes, white hair and a long beard, and a gentle yet solemn expression. He was none other than the headmaster of Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Da Tianzun.

Tianzun nodded slightly to Taoist Lu Ya, his voice loud and deep.

"Master Lu Ya, it's been a long time. Today, I came here to greet you on the orders of the old man."

Taoist Lu Ya also bowed in return, with a happy smile on his face.

"My Lord! How are you? It has been a thousand years since we last met. I am so happy to meet you again today."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Tao Jun, it has been more than 1,500 years since we last parted at the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. You are still as elegant and graceful as ever."

Taoist Lu Ya bowed and said, "No, no, no! Your Majesty is too kind."

After saying that, he turned around and pointed at Yuanshi Tianzun and introduced him to Sun Wukong.

"Snake, come and meet your master. This is the famous Yuanshi Da Tianzun in the Xuanmen."

Sun Wukong was excited, as he had heard of the great reputation of Yuanshi Tianzun a long time ago.

Knowing that he was the legendary great saint, and finally seeing his true appearance today, I couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration in my heart.

The Yuanshi Tianzun in front of him had snow-white hair, long flowing beard, and a kind and solemn face.

Dressed in a white Taoist robe, he exudes a majestic and mysterious aura.

Wukong did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully.

"Sun Wukong from the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain greets Grandpa Yuanshi Da Tianzun."

Yuanshi Tianzun looked Wukong up and down and asked, "Are you the monkey who kicked the master's Bagua furnace and stole his golden elixir?"

When Wukong heard this, his face froze slightly and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Naturally, I remember these things clearly.

However, these are all things of the past, and I have been punished.

At this moment, being mentioned again by Yuanshi Tianzun, Wukong couldn't help but scratch his head embarrassedly.

"Grandpa Tianzun, I didn't mean to kick that thing over, but it was just too hot in there."

"I couldn't hold it in for a moment and fell over a few times inside, and the stove fell over by itself."

Tianzun laughed and said, "You naughty monkey, you are still talking nonsense, but you don't know that the master loves you. Because of your relationship with Queen Wa, he deliberately let you go and gave you the treasure of Yujing Mountain, 'Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils'! You don't know his painstaking efforts."

Wukong felt confused and was about to ask again.

Yuanshi Tianzun changed the subject and said to Lu Ya: "Daojun! Queen Wa and Queen Mother of the West are waiting in the palace. Let's go in quickly!"

"Are all the old guys here?" Taoist Lu Ya asked in surprise.

"You are the only one missing!" Tianzun smiled.

"Well then! Let's go in quickly."

Yuanshi Tianzun and Taoist Lu Ya talked as they walked.

Wukong followed the two mighty men and tried hard to get a word in, but the conversation between the two mighty men was profound and mysterious, and the content involved was far beyond his understanding.

He could only turn his curiosity into a gaze and look around constantly, trying to catch some clues from the surrounding scene.

When it comes to Patriarch Hongjun, Wukong's heart is filled with curiosity and awe.

As the master of the Three Pure Ones, what kind of person is this ancient sage teacher?

What kind of magical power does he have to be able to gather these innate saints together?

Why did Uncle Master Lu Ya bring me here?

Was it simply because of his relationship with the Master? Did he bring me here to broaden my horizons? This seemed unlikely.

After all, those gathered here are all legendary powerful people, so how could anyone attend their gatherings?

Wukong walked and thought, his heart was in turmoil, he felt excited but also nervous.

Xuanhuang Realm, Zixiao Palace.

The Zixiao Palace was suspended above a ball of auspicious colors, surrounded by fairy air and auspicious colors.

As soon as he entered the palace, Wukong's attention was attracted by the scene inside the hall.

On one side of the hall, there stood two majestic and solemn figures, namely Taishang Laojun of Bajing Palace and Tongtian Jiaozhu of Biyou Palace.

The two of them looked composed, as if they had merged into one with the fairy spirit of the palace.

There are four exquisite chairs placed in the middle of the hall, each of which emits a faint golden light, showing an extraordinary style.

Three of the chairs were already occupied by people, two women and one man, each emitting a different sacred aura.

The man had white hair and a childlike face, kind eyes, a slightly protruding forehead, and a dragon-headed cane in his hand. He exuded an ancient and majestic aura.

Behind him, there were thousands of auspicious lights, thousands of lucky auras, and dazzling purple air that dazzled the eyes, as if endless power was surging.

The hall was filled with strange fragrance and ethereal music.

He composed a verse:

Lying high in the nine layers of clouds, the truth lies in the futon.

Beyond the dark and yellow world, I shall be the leader of the teachings.

It was none other than the Master of the Three Pure Ones of Xuanmen and the Lord of Hongmeng, Patriarch Hongjun.

Sitting on the chair to the left of Patriarch Hongjun is the ancient sage Queen Nuwa.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, had a dignified and beautiful face, and emanated a soft holy light that enveloped everything around her.

Sitting on the chair to the right of Patriarch Hongjun is the Queen Mother of the West.

She is noble and graceful, with a serene look, just like a kind Madonna who is reassuring.

All three of them were illuminated by holy light and surrounded by strange colors.

Yuanshi Tianzun walked slowly towards Hongjun Laozu, his steps were steady and respectful, with an indescribable solemnity.

"Master! I have received Lu Ya Daojun!"

Patriarch Hongjun nodded slightly, a deep and all-embracing light of wisdom flickering in his eyes.

"I know, go down!"

Yuanshi Tianzun responded respectfully with a "yes", then slowly turned around and stood next to Laozi.

Patriarch Hongjun stroked the long beard under his chin, his movements were slow and graceful, as if he was savoring the accumulation of years.

He smiled and said to Lu Ya: "Spirit of Fire, it has been 10 billion years since we parted ways in the beginning of time."

"You are not fussy about small matters, you are unconventional, you hate evil, and you will help people in need regardless of age. You are truly kind-hearted and you are getting stronger as you get older."

Lu Ya waved his hand, his face revealing a kind of indifference after experiencing many vicissitudes of life.

There was a hint of emotion in his voice, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

"Grandmaster, you are too kind. Back then, you and I were entrusted by the Lord of Heaven to uphold the principle of kindness, take the protection of all living things as our responsibility, and take the Great Dao as our spirit. I will never forget it."

"Over the years, you and I have gone through millions of calamities for the door to immortality, but we have always been based on kindness and have never changed."
