Chapter 197 Raising Eyebrows to Enter Chaos, Zhen Yuanzi Returns to Wuzhuang Temple
Hongjun, feeling his own surging cultivation, bowed to the three of them again: "With this matter settled, the primordial world is in dire need of rebuilding, but the demonic path has been established, and hidden dangers still exist."
"This humble Daoist must return to Jade Capital Mountain for seclusion to reflect on what I have gained, hoping to attain Dao as soon as possible and perfect the Heavenly Dao order. My three fellow Daoists, I will need to look after you greatly in the future primordial world."
Yangmei Daxian nodded: "Fellow Daoist, please go. The karma here has been settled. Although the primordial world is vast, it is not a place for me to stay for long."
I will delve into chaos, pursue the ultimate in space, and seek transcendence.
"Farewell, everyone. I hope we will meet again someday." With that, he flickered and merged into the void, entering the vast chaos.
In the blink of an eye, only Hongjun, Yin Yang, and Zhen Yuanzi remained on the spot.
Hongjun looked at Yin Yang and Zhen Yuanzi, his gaze lingering on Zhen Yuanzi for a moment, as if with a profound meaning: "Fellow Daoist Yin Yang, Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, this humble Daoist will also take his leave." As soon as he finished speaking, auspicious clouds arose beneath his feet, and with one step, he disappeared into the eastern horizon.
At this moment, the Yin-Yang Daoist turned to Zhen Yuanzi, a sincere smile on his face, his tone much more relaxed, carrying the casualness between allies: "This fierce battle has finally come to an end."
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, our previous discussion on the Dao was incomplete. We should take this opportunity to return to your Wuzhuang Temple, enjoy tea, and celebrate properly. We can also discuss future matters in detail."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi laughed heartily, his voice warm and friendly: "That's exactly right! Fellow Daoist Yin Yang's arrival brings great honor to my Wuzhuang Temple. We still have some Three Lights Divine Water in our temple, and the tea we serve is also exceptional."
"Perfect timing! Fellow Daoist Hongyun must be getting impatient. Let's return and discuss the gains and losses of this battle with him, and together contemplate the profound mysteries of the Great Dao."
The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without words. They transformed into two streams of light, one profound and weighty, encompassing the five elements;
One is the interplay of Yin and Yang, balancing all things. Side by side, they leisurely departed towards Longevity Mountain and Wuzhuang Temple.
It is said that the Yin-Yang Taoist and Zhen Yuanzi transformed into streams of light side by side, and before long, they had crossed endless mountains and rivers and returned to the territory of Longevity Mountain.
Above Wuzhuang Temple, the Xuanhuang light shield formed by the Earth Book Array, though not fully open, was more solid than usual.
It is subtly connected to the mountains and rivers, forming an invisible barrier, with a chilling aura contained within, clearly indicating a state of high alert.
As soon as the two arrived at the gate, the gate creaked open from the inside, and a fiery red, anxious figure flashed out instantly. It was none other than the Old Ancestor Hongyun, who had stayed behind to guard the place.
When he saw Zhen Yuanzi and the Yin-Yang Taoist return safely, the tense expression on his face suddenly relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Fellow Daoists, you've finally returned!"
Hongyun strode forward, her gaze quickly sweeping over the two of them.
Although he did not personally witness the battle, the earth-shattering commotion in the western lands and the extraordinary phenomenon of the final descent of heavenly merits gave him some insight into the outcome.
At this moment, he did not rush to inquire about the outcome of the battle. Instead, with genuine concern, he first asked, "Judging from the commotion outside, this battle must have been extremely dangerous. I wonder how you two fellow Daoists are injured? Has your Dao foundation been damaged?"
This genuine concern warmed the hearts of Yin Yang and Zhen Yuanzi, who had just experienced a life-or-death battle.
Zhen Yuanzi met Hongyun's concerned gaze, smiled slightly, and said in a calm yet convincing tone, "Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Hongyun. The slight exertion has not damaged my fundamental health; I will recover after some time of quiet cultivation."
He paused, a barely perceptible glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes, and continued, "Moreover, the four swords of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, which Luo relied on to run rampant and had a notorious reputation, have already been suppressed by me using the Innate Five Elements Grand Formation."
Although we paid a price in this battle, Rahu suffered heavy losses and fled in disarray.
His tone was calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter, but the content of his words was enough to shake the world.
The Four Swords of Zhuxian, the core of the number one killing formation of the Heavenly Dao, were actually taken away by Zhen Yuanzi!
Upon hearing this, Hongyun's eyes lit up with delight, and he clapped his hands, laughing, "Excellent! Excellent! Now let's see how rampant the demonic path can be! Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi's supernatural powers are truly unfathomable!"
The Yin-Yang Daoist standing to the side wore a bitter smile, with a hint of lingering fear, and said, "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, you did not witness the final moment—when Rahu was cornered, he recklessly detonated the entire Western Earth Vein!"
That destructive power was only a result of Zhen Yuanzi's timely intervention with the power of the Earth Book.
Having shielded me from most of the impact, I fear—I fear—that I will truly perish and my cultivation will be lost, all my eons of arduous cultivation will have been in vain.
His tone was filled with relief at surviving the ordeal and gratitude towards Zhen Yuanzi.
Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand and looked solemnly at Yin Yang Daoist: "Fellow Daoist Yin Yang, you are mistaken. Since the three of us have sworn an oath of blood to the Heavenly Dao, we should share both fortune and misfortune and be loyal to each other."
If you had had the means then, I'm sure you would have helped me without hesitation. There's no need for such formality between allies.
Hongyun also put away her smile and solemnly echoed, "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi is absolutely right. Fellow Daoist Yinyang, since we are allies, we are one."
Helping each other is our duty. Your safe return is the greatest blessing.
Seeing that the two men were sincere and not just being polite, the Yin-Yang Taoist felt a slight sense of alienation that had lingered in his heart from years of solitary cultivation.
Instead, there is a solid sense of trust, a trust that one can entrust with their life.
He nodded deeply, keeping this kindness firmly in his heart, and said no more words of gratitude; everything was understood without saying a word.
During their conversation, Hongyun remembered the affairs of the temple and said to Qingfeng and Mingyue, who were standing beside her, "Go and summon the Emperor and Zhenwu."
Before long, two powerful auras approached from afar; they were the Emperor, transformed from the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon of Merit, and the True Martial, transformed from the Black Tortoise of the North Sea.
Both of them possessed immense power, having reached the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Clearly, they dared not slacken their efforts during Zhen Yuanzi's absence and were doing their utmost to protect the mountain gate.
When they saw Zhen Yuanzi standing safely before them, their faces immediately lit up with barely suppressed excitement and joy.
"My lord! It's wonderful to hear you return safely!" The Emperor's voice was deep and resonant, filled with genuine joy. Zhenwu, though more composed, also bowed respectfully, his eyes brimming with relief: "Welcome back to the mountain, my lord!"
Zhen Yuanzi looked at his two subordinates, whom he had enlightened and relied on, and smiled gently: "Well, although there were some twists and turns on this trip, we have not failed in our mission."
Now that the demonic calamity has subsided and the external turmoil has gradually calmed, the order can be passed down to the beings within the temple to relax a little and no longer be so tense. However,
He changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of warning, "Although the great calamity has passed, the aftershocks have not yet subsided, and there may still be chaotic and malevolent energy remaining in various parts of the prehistoric world."
In the near future, unless absolutely necessary, all beings of Longevity Mountain should try to stay close to the mountain gate to avoid getting involved in unnecessary trouble.
"I will obey Your Excellency's decree!"
The Emperor and Zhenwu responded in unison, knowing that their master's words must have a deeper meaning.
He immediately accepted the order and went to deliver it to all parts of Longevity Hill, which both calmed the panicked people and ensured the stability of order.
After dealing with these trivial matters, Zhen Yuanzi relaxed and smiled at Hongyun and Yin Yang, saying, "Now that this matter is settled, why don't we go to the backyard, borrow the shade of the Four Symbols Banana Tree, and enjoy tea and discuss the Dao? Firstly, to celebrate our survival in this calamity, and secondly, to reflect on what we have learned in this great battle and verify our findings."
