As Taishang was about to return to the Taiqing Palace, a sudden palpitation struck him. Taishang quickly looked up at the sky!
At the same time, Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, who were leaning against each other, Tai Hao and Nuwa in Wa Huang Palace, Houtu in the Underworld, Jieyin and Zhunti on Mount Sumeru, and Tongtian in Shangqing Palace, all looked towards the depths of the chaos!
The unease Taishang had felt before surged back, far stronger than before!
Yuanshi, seeing Taishang's drastically changed expression, quickly asked, "Brother, what's wrong? What are you looking at?"
As soon as Yuanshi finished speaking, Tongtian, Zhen Yuanzi, and Hong Yun stepped into the Yuqing Palace!
Yuanshi saw the arrival of the three, who also had extremely serious expressions. Yuanshi realized that something big had happened!
Upon seeing Taishang, Tongtian immediately said, "Brother, did something happen in the chaos? Why is there such a huge fluctuation?"
Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun also chimed in, "Yes, Holy Master, we felt it too!"
Taishang shook his head, "I don't know either. Third Brother, you stay and guard Kunlun. Daoist friends Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, you will accompany me into the chaos to investigate!"
Tongtian nodded, "Be careful, Brother!"
Taishang grunted and was about to leave with Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun when Yuanshi suddenly spoke:
"Brother!"
Taishang turned back, and Yuanshi took out the Xuanhuang Pagoda: "The chaos is not like the Primordial World; it is fraught with danger. This little pagoda originally belonged to you, Brother. Take it for protection!"
Taishang glanced at the Xuanhuang Pagoda and nodded slightly. With a wave of his hand, the Xuanhuang Pagoda joyfully flew into Taishang's眉心 (meixin - center of the forehead) and disappeared.
After Taishang put away the Xuanhuang Pagoda, he took out the Pangu Banner, the Qiankun Yiqi Lock, and the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler, three innate supreme treasures, and handed them to Tongtian and Yuanshi!
"Third Brother, protect your second brother!"
Tongtian nodded, "Don't worry, Brother!"
Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun looked at the three innate supreme treasures that Taishang had taken out, their faces filled with envy. The Three Pure Ones were truly dripping with wealth. Looking at themselves, these saints, alas, their envy was acting up again!
After Taishang made his arrangements, the three headed towards the chaos!
At the same time, in the Underworld, Houtu summoned Emperor Fengdu: "Fengdu, something must have happened in the chaos. You take good care of the Underworld, and I will go to the chaos to investigate!"
Before Fengdu could react, Houtu left the Underworld!
On Mount Sumeru in the West, Jieyin and Zhunti also called for Randeng: "We trouble Daoist friend to look after the mountain gate. There is a disturbance in the chaos, and we are going to investigate!"
Randeng bowed to the two. As soon as he looked up, Jieyin and Zhunti had already disappeared!
Outside the Primordial World, as Taishang, Zhen Yuanzi, and Hong Yun were heading into the chaos, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind them:
"Three Daoist friends, please slow down!"
Taishang and his two companions turned around and saw Houtu approaching them!
Houtu came before the three and immediately said, "There is a disturbance in the chaos, and it is likely not a good thing. Shall we travel together?"
Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun did not immediately reply but glanced at Taishang!
Houtu also looked at Taishang. Although the three were traveling together, Taishang, as the leader of the Kunlun sect, naturally took the lead.
Taishang nodded and uttered a single word: "Good!"
Not long after the four set off together, they saw Nuwa and Tai Hao standing ahead. Upon seeing Taishang and the others arrive, Tai Hao laughed heartily: "Holy Master, my sister and I have been waiting for you!"
Hong Yun laughed heartily, "Daoist friend Nuwa's dojo is in this chaos, so you two have kept us waiting!"
Nuwa smiled slightly, "The depths of the chaos are fraught with danger, not like the Primordial World. My sister and I do not have the courage to venture deep!"
Nuwa, not seeing Tongtian around, asked, "By the way, where is Daoist Tongtian?"
Taishang, seeing Nuwa ask about Tongtian, replied, "I asked third brother to stay and guard Kunlun!"
Nuwa saw that Jieyin and Zhunti had not yet arrived and looked at Taishang, "Daoist Taishang, shall we wait for Jieyin and Zhunti together!"
As soon as Nuwa said this, all the saints looked at Taishang. After all, Tongtian had just fought with them a while ago. Nuwa felt that her words were inappropriate and was about to speak when Taishang interjected:
"The chaos is not a good place, so let's wait for those two!"
Since Taishang had said so, everyone quietly waited for Jieyin and Zhunti!
After Jieyin and Zhunti left Mount Sumeru, Jieyin looked at Zhunti: "Junior Brother, for this journey into the chaos, the Eastern saints will surely be going. Shall we go with them?"
Zhunti's brows furrowed upon hearing this, and he then said, "Senior Brother, let's go by ourselves. We won't go with them!"
Jieyin looked at Zhunti in confusion, "Junior Brother, why? The chaos is full of dangers and extremely perilous. If something happens, I fear we two may not be able to handle it!"
Zhunti, however, dismissed it with a snort and chuckled lightly, "Senior Brother worries too much. We have the Bodhi White Lotus Formation protecting us, which is enough to handle the chaos. This anomaly in the chaos might mean a great treasure is about to be born. The East has always been unreasonable and overbearing. If they encounter us brothers, it might be like the matter of the Innate Gourd in the past; we might not get anything. It's better for us to go alone!"
Jieyin was still somewhat worried, "Junior Brother, but..."
Before Jieyin could finish speaking, Zhunti interrupted him!
"Senior Brother, no 'buts'. Trust me, and you won't go wrong! They are definitely waiting for us now. Let's enter the chaos from another direction and get ahead of them, so they get nothing!"
Hearing this, Jieyin saw that Zhunti's attitude was resolute and could only go along with Zhunti's wishes!
In the chaos, Taishang and the others had not seen any sign of Jieyin and Zhunti. Houtu frowned and looked at Taishang, "Daoist Taishang, should we still wait?"
Taishang shook his head and said softly, "It seems Jieyin and Zhunti are unwilling to travel with us. We don't need to wait any longer. Let's go!"
The saints heard this and nodded. They had waited for Jieyin and Zhunti for so long; it was considered considerate enough.
In the chaos, Hongjun and Luohu, who were heading towards the Primordial World, also sensed this anomaly.
Luohu stopped and looked towards the depths of the chaos behind him, asking Hongjun beside him:
"Hongjun, what is going on? Even before Pangu opened the heavens, such a thing never happened in the chaos!"
Hongjun shook his head, indicating he didn't know!
Luohu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly looked at Hongjun, "Do you think some great treasure is about to be born, something even more powerful than Pangu's Axe?"
Hongjun looked at Luohu as if he were an idiot, rolled his eyes, and said, "Have you ever seen a spiritual treasure born from chaos cause such a huge commotion?"
