After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

"Humph."

A disdainful snort echoed once more from Zixiao Palace.

It seems that Hongjun did not take the four Great Luo Saints seriously.

The three saints of Huoyun Cave were alright; they remained calm and composed, their expressions unchanged.

"Hongjun, let's each take a step back."

Nuwa looked displeased and said, "You may leave now, and we will not hold your plundering of the human world accountable."

The three sages, including Fuxi, remained silent, which can be considered as acquiescing to this outcome.

It's clear that the four Great Luo Saints still harbored some fear of Hongjun.

Dao Ancestor is indeed exceptionally powerful.

however.

Hongjun's voice, chillingly cold, echoed from Zixiao Palace.

"With your limited abilities, you dare to try and stop me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gates of Zixiao Palace opened, and an elderly man in a Taoist robe strode out.

He held a bamboo staff, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.

Hongjun.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun emerges from seclusion!

A strange fragrance filled the air, celestial music lingered, and the Daoist principles of heaven and earth remained distinctly clear.

The Heavenly Sage is indeed extraordinary.

Everyone's eyes were opened, and almost everyone was having the opportunity to see this number one person in the Three Realms for the first time.

at this time.

Hongjun's complexion was rosy, and his breathing was steady.

Clearly, his injuries have fully healed.

"Pity!"

Everyone sighed in their hearts.

If you don't strike while your opponent is weakened, it will definitely be more difficult to deal with him again.

As expected of the Dao Ancestor.

Hongjun's air of self-assurance inspired the four sages to step forward and greet him.

The Three Pure Ones had already regulated their disordered magical power and had just stood up straight.

With their bodies slightly bent, the three men felt a surge of intense impulse that almost made them bow in reverence.

After calming his mind and trying to steady his emotions for a moment, Sanqing finally suppressed the urge to pay homage to his master.

A polite greeting is fine, after all, the other party has shown kindness in teaching you.

However, the thought of treating the other person as a mentor, or like a mouse fearing a cat, was what the three of them were trying to eliminate.

The mentality of placing oneself in a weaker position will seriously affect one's ability to confront others.

"Three wicked disciples."

Hongjun said displeasedly, "How dare you not bow to your master?"

"Master? Heh."

The Master of the Heavenly Realm sneered, "Whose master forces their disciples to take poison in order to control them?"

Poisoning?

Those unaware of the situation were taken aback.

Those familiar with the Investiture of the Gods war explained the reasons to him.

As the Investiture of the Gods war was about to end, Hongjun descended from Heaven to the mortal realm.

After scolding the Three Pure Ones, he gave each person a pill.

They didn't say what kind of medicine it was, but demanded that Sanqing take it.

The Three Pure Ones did not even resist, but respectfully accepted the offering...

"The Dao Ancestor's goal is to prevent you brothers from fighting amongst yourselves."

The Jade Emperor jumped out to clear Hongjun's name, saying,

"As long as you don't harbor any disloyalty, the elixir will not take effect."

Many people nodded in agreement.

Back then, after the Three Pure Ones took the medicine, Hongjun explained it in this way.

"Forget it!" Tongtian said indignantly.

Even the Primordial Celestial Venerable couldn't help but say:

"It's just a deception and a fraud; it's clearly a Saint-Destroying Pill."

The Elixir of Immortality?

what is that.

No one had ever heard of this kind of elixir.

However, you can tell from the name alone.

It's definitely specifically designed to deal with Great Luo Saints.

"To escape the control of the poison, we have no choice but to enter the cycle of reincarnation and start our cultivation anew."

Lao Tzu also explained it.

Oh I got it.

The group finally pieced everything together.

After being poisoned by Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones seized the opportunity to fight back.

Later, the three seized the opportunity when Hongjun was away and launched an internal strife in Heaven.

After being reincarnated into the world, he became one of the three Taoist sages: Laozi, Zhuangzi, and Liezi.

Now that they have been re-established as saints, the three are no longer controlled by the poison pills.

"Hahaha……"

Hongjun laughed heartily, "Knowing all this only makes dying even more painful."

To advance to the Chaos Realm, one must refine the human realm.

He was determined to win.

"There are seven of us."

Nuwa retorted, "It's not necessarily us who will die."

Fuxi, Huangdi, and Shennong nodded.

The four Great Luo Saints all possessed great merit and were far more powerful than the Three Pure Ones.

“Originally, the seven of you could have escaped into the chaotic void.”

Hongjun slowly raised the bamboo staff in his hand and said,

"Since you're unwilling to leave, then become my assistant in advancing to the Chaos Realm."

To refine the human realm, he naturally had to kill any capable rebels first.

The Three Pure Ones stepped forward and stood side by side with the Yellow Emperor and the other four sages.

"Alright, let me show you just how powerful the Heavenly Dao Realm really is!"

Nuwa shouted and transformed into the lower half of her body, which was in the shape of a snake.

At the same time, the Primordial Holy Sword was unsheathed and attacked Hongjun.

The Primordial Holy Sword, also known as the Nuwa Sword, is a primordial treasure and her signature divine weapon.

"choke--"

The Xuanyuan Sword was drawn like a dragon's roar, and the Yellow Emperor unleashed his peak magical power with a violent slash.

Shennong unleashed the Shennong Cauldron and smashed it towards Hongjun, then wielded a ochre whip and trampled over him.

Fuxi also unleashed the Primordial Eight Trigrams Mirror to disrupt the enemy's fortune.

The Fuxi Qin was played in unison, and the music of the Great Dao attacked Hongjun.

Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu once again joined forces to unleash the Xuanqing Qi and launched a second attack.

The seven saints joined forces, their attack possessing the power to shatter the earth and destroy the heavens.

The transparent space could not withstand such immense pressure and cracked open like a spider web.

"Little tricks."

Hongjun grinned and slashed his bamboo staff through the air.

An arc-shaped golden shield formed, blocking his way.

"boom--"

The combined attack of the seven Great Luo Saints shattered the Thirty-Six Heavens into dust.

The black, chaotic void swallowed everything.

"do you died?"

Nuwa asked curiously.

Previously, the Three Pure Ones joined forces to shatter space, yet Hongjun still protected Zixiao Palace.

however.

The combined power of the Seven Sages is naturally incomparable to that of the Three Pure Ones.

Sages such as Fuxi and Huangdi also looked towards the black, chaotic void.

Their eyes revealed the same expectation.

The black, chaotic void, like dark clouds, was still churning violently.

call--

A yellow bamboo staff suddenly emerged from the chaotic void and pointed directly at Nuwa, who was closest to it.

"not good!"

Nuwa cried out and raised the Primordial Holy Sword to block.

Fuxi's expression changed drastically, and he also cried out in alarm.

"Quickly, join forces to resist!"

The Yellow Emperor shouted.

The bamboo staff that attacked actually exuded a faint aura of chaos.

This strike could easily annihilate even a Great Luo Saint.

The six sages foresaw that if this attack exploded, Nuwa would surely perish and her life would be extinguished.

Xuanyuan Sword, Fuxi Qin (a type of zither), Three Treasures Jade Ruyi (a type of scept

The six divine weapons, together with the Nuwa Sword, joined forces to block the incoming bamboo staff.

"Oh!"

The greatest sound is silent, yet it resonates throughout heaven and earth.

Hills and mountains crumbled, rivers flowed backward.

Towering waves crashed against the shore with terrifying force...

The crowd, who were looking up at the sky, were shaken so badly that they were knocked over and fell to the ground.

The seven saints were blown away, each suffering severe injuries.

The sword broke, the zither snapped, and the ruyi scepter turned to dust...

Caught in the vortex of bamboo staff attacks, Nuwa's upper body was blasted into a bloody mist.

After being reborn from the ashes, she cried out in despair:

"I refuse to accept this..."

however.

He stopped abruptly before he finished speaking.

The world suddenly fell silent.

The seven sages suddenly felt that they could not move their bodies at all.

It wasn't just the seven Great Sages.

From the thirty-sixth heaven, down to the ground, and then to the underworld...

The entire world's billions of people were imprisoned.

This is the Heavenly Sage.

Its immense magical power could even imprison both the human and underworld realms.

Even ancient sages like Fuxi were powerless to resist.

"Hehe, in front of the Heavenly Dao Saint, you are nothing but ants."

The Jade Emperor, looking smug, stepped forward and patted the face of the Primordial Heavenly Lord hard, saying...

Fuxi and Laozi lowered their heads and sighed in their hearts.

Nuwa's eyes blazed with fury as she glared at Hongjun.

The Master of Heaven almost ground his teeth to powder, wishing he could spit all over the Jade Emperor's face.

"Hehe, there's no need to hold a grudge."

Hongjun chuckled, "You died a worthy death because you helped me advance to the Chaos Realm."

With that, he shook his arms.

The refinement of this world begins.
