Chapter 594: Ye Qin: Here, I Have Always Been

Recalling just now, they still doubted Bi Xiao was bragging, but they personally witnessed the Third Sister easily suppress the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and it seemed so effortless and casual.

This scene simply shocked them to the point their jaws almost dropped—it was utterly unbelievable!

Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao widened their eyes, their red lips slightly parted, yet they remained speechless for a long time, completely stunned by Bi Xiao's strength.

Besides them, the powerhouses of the Myriad Worlds were likewise deeply shaken.

The Lord of the Great Wilderness sighed, "Bi Xiao's Cultivation Level has far surpassed our imagination!"

The Black Emperor also echoed, "Just now, when Bi Xiao broke through, I didn't feel much, but now I am truly shocked!"

Xiao Huohuo then sucked in a breath of cold air: "Hiss~!! Terrifying!!"

Li Biwang sincerely admired, "With just a gesture, you can suppress the Heavenly Dao Saint of the Supreme Honghuang—this is truly the ultimate badass, I, Li Qiye, am convinced!"

Pizi Long hurriedly tried to curry favor: "Grandma Bi Xiao, Grandma Bi Xiao, Old Dragon I am your grandson who wandered into this world—when can you give me a couple of pointers?"

The Talented Empress also analyzed, "Everyone can see the Primordial Heavenly Venerable's combat power; it's far beyond what we can resist. I never expected him to be so easily suppressed by Bi Xiao—now Bi Xiao is likely the second strongest in Honghuang! Of course, the first still has to be Ye Qin!"

Lady Pingxin also sighed, "Yeah, who would have thought Bi Xiao's combat power would suddenly surge this terrifyingly? This way, I'm not in a rush to return to Honghuang. By the way, Empress, you mentioned Ye Qin again."

For a moment, the powerhouses of the Myriad Worlds whispered among themselves, all shaken by Bi Xiao's terrifying combat power.

……

At the same time, atop the firmament of Honghuang, after Bi Xiao easily suppressed the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, she clapped her hands, turned to Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao, and grinned, saying:

"Hehe, Elder Sister, Second Sister, look—this isn't just easily taking care of that old Primordial Heavenly Venerable, huh!"

She spoke lightly and casually, as if discussing a trivial matter.

However, this remark left Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao thunderstruck again. They could only silently sigh that Third Sister's opportunity this time was truly enormous!

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao exchanged another deep glance. They suddenly recalled that Bi Xiao had mentioned earlier that her entering this state of sudden enlightenment this time was thanks to Ye Qin's effort.

In that case, Junior Disciple Ye Qin has been paying attention to and leading this divine conferment calamity all along.

On another side, Bi Xiao quickly turned her gaze to Laozi, Jieyin, and Puriti, flashing a mischievous smile: "And you three old fellows who dared to invade Golden Ao Island—watch me take care of you!"

Being stared down by Bi Xiao, Laozi and the others' faces slightly changed, cold light flickering in their chaotic divine eyes. They were about to angrily denounce Bi Xiao's arrogance when something unexpected happened.

Boom—! In the distance, the firmament violently churned as streams of profound primordial Heavenly Dao power converged, forming a massive primordial vortex. A faint aura emanated from the vortex's center.

In the blink of an eye, the primordial vortex dissipated, revealing a figure. Looking closely, isn't that the Primordial Heavenly Venerable just suppressed by Bi Xiao?

However, at this moment his breath was feeble, the primordial Heavenly Dao power throughout his body in utter disarray—clearly he had suffered grave injuries.

"Huh?" Bi Xiao furrowed her lovely brows, surprised and doubtful: "Old coot, I just clearly suppressed you—why aren't you dead yet?"

"Bi Xiao!!!" Upon hearing Bi Xiao's words, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable's expression turned ferocious, killing intent blazing in his eyes as he almost gritted his teeth and shouted. His tone was filled with endless killing intent, yet he dared not rashly attack Bi Xiao, for he fully knew the gap in their combat power.

"Bi Xiao lass, no need to be surprised. Heavenly Dao Saints lodge their primordial spirits in the Heavenly Dao; even if their flesh and primordial spirits are annihilated countless times, as long as the Heavenly Dao endures, they can be reborn through nirvana, famed as immortal through countless kalpas." At that moment, the Sect Leader Who Penetrates Heaven's voice rang out, answering Bi Xiao's doubt.

"Oh, I see." Bi Xiao nodded in sudden realization, then tilted her head and grinned: "If they can't be killed, can we use Divine Abilities to keep the Heavenly Dao Saints locked up forever?"

Bi Xiao's offhand remark caused the faces of the several Heavenly Dao Saints present to drastically change, even making them shudder violently.

Indeed, as Bi Xiao said, although Heavenly Dao Saints are immortal, they can be imprisoned. If one possesses sufficiently powerful Cultivation Level, they can eternally imprison a Heavenly Dao Saint. Thus, even a Heavenly Dao Saint would likely feel that life is worse than death!

Suddenly, a Heavenly Sound exploded from the top of the firmament, an ancient and ethereal song echoing forth……

At the summit of Honghuang, above the firmament, suddenly the Heavenly Music exploded, an ancient and distant song drifting forth:

"Reclining on the clouds of the nine heavens, upon the mat I comprehend the profound Dao.

Beyond the profound yellow of heaven and earth lies a boundary; I am the boundless Honored Master of the Sect.

Pangu cleaved heaven to birth the Taiji; the two modalities and four symbols follow nature.

One Dao transmitted among three friends; the two teachings of exposition and cessation split into two sides.

The leader of the Profound Gate am I; one breath transforms into Hongjun, eternally transmitted.

Hum~!

As that ethereal song rang out, the heavens trembled and churned endlessly. Streams of profound divine sounds rippled forth, as if the Heavenly Dao were expounding the world's supreme truths.

In that instant, celestial music floated from the summit of the firmament as countless fairies in rainbow robes danced gracefully. Heavenly Flowers rained down, and in the void golden lotuses blossomed vying to bloom. Moreover, purple qi streamed eastward, stretching billions of miles, like a glorious auspicious sign of heaven and earth celebrating together!

Whoosh~!

All Saints turned in unison to gaze beyond the firmament into the Chaos, where they saw an old Taoist staggering forth, traversing the vast Chaos, leaning on a staff, his steps leisurely.

Wherever he passed, golden lotuses bloomed in the void, the Dao's rhythm intertwined, his aura ethereal, as if merging with heaven and earth itself. Were it not seen with one's own eyes, his presence would be nearly imperceptible.

Upon seeing the old Taoist, the Saints' faces slightly changed; they all bowed with clasped fists and respectfully shouted, "Greetings, Patriarch Hongjun (the Patriarch)!"

Even the proud Primordial Heavenly Venerable, at this moment, was utterly reverent, daring not to slack in the slightest. Yet the resentment and anger on his face still struggled to conceal his dissatisfaction with Bi Xiao.

Indeed, the visitor was none other than the Heavenly Dao's Spokesperson, the Leader of the Profound Gate—Patriarch Hongjun!

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of the Myriad Worlds' observing powerhouses, their hearts and minds trembling, filled with awe.

The Lord of the Great Wilderness exclaimed, "This is the ruler of Supreme Honghuang—Patriarch Hongjun? Indeed, his strength inspires awe!"

The Black Emperor nodded, "His aura is exceedingly ethereal and obscure; facing him feels like confronting a vast expanse of heaven and earth, inspiring reverence."

The Chu Emperor solemnly said, "No wonder Old Zhen said before leaving that, among Honghuang's heaven and earth, aside from Patriarch Hongjun, Ye Qin is the most unfathomable. Seeing him today, his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Yilaike City exclaimed, "Patriarch Hongjun, teacher of saints! This is truly the true ruler of Honghuang!"

Chen Zhan shivered, saying, "So strong! Fatty, you'd better not offend him—I feel he could crush any of us here with a casual flick!"

Pizi Long gasped, "Mom! This old geezer is so weird, he seems to have merged with heaven and earth—could this just be a projection of his?"

The Talented Empress pondered, "Bi Xiao might not even be a match for him! I just don't know if Ye Qin can rival Patriarch Hongjun."

Lady Pingxin slowly said, "Naturally so; the Patriarch is the teacher of saints, having once united his body with the Dao to become the Heavenly Dao's Spokesperson. When he attained the Dao, my true form, the Ancestral Witch of Hou Tu, also listened to the lecture in the Zi Xiao Palace. Oh right, make a note—the Empress has mentioned Ye Qin one hundred eighty times!"

Xiao Huohuo sucked in a breath of cold air: "Hiss~!! Patriarch Hongjun, truly terrifying!!"

For a moment, the powerhouses of the Myriad Worlds all sincerely marveled at Patriarch Hongjun's might, their hearts and minds shaken by his terrifying Cultivation Level.

You must know, among the Myriad Worlds, the Honghuang World is undoubtedly the supreme existence. Whether primordial essence, order, or the power of laws, all are the most perfect and complete. Yet Patriarch Hongjun, within this supreme Honghuang World, is honored as the sole Patriarch, the supreme ultimate existence. He is not only the teacher of Heavenly Dao Saints, but having united his body with the Dao, he became the Heavenly Dao's Spokesperson, commanding the great trend of Honghuang's heaven and earth.

…………

Within Honghuang, not even the Saints nor Patriarch Hongjun realized that the powerhouses of the Myriad Worlds were watching this scene.

After the Hongjun Patriarch appeared, the battle completely ceased. Even Bixiao didn't dare act rashly, quietly hiding beside Yunxiao and Qiongxiao.

However, the Hongjun Patriarch paid no heed to the many Heavenly Dao sages and the numerous close disciples of the Severing Teaching present. He merely glanced at the dilapidated ancient starry sky, then at the shattered Honghuang Dadi, his white brows slightly furrowed, a hint of icy resentment flashing between his brows.

Hum—

He said nothing more, merely waving his hand. Instantly, amidst the vast chaos, a jade disc glowing with lustrous treasure light tore through the void and drifted to the apex of the heavens.

That jade disc instantly expanded to billions of billions of zhang in size, enveloping the boundless ancient starry sky. Looking at it, one saw the disc entirely chaos-colored, its surface etched with profound and inscrutable Dao patterns, as if three thousand primordial heavenly dao powers circulated within, containing endless Dao rhymes, mysterious and yet more mysterious.

That was indeed the Hongjun Patriarch's supreme treasure—the Creation Jade Disc! A true chaos supreme treasure! However, unable to withstand the pressure of the opening of heaven, it became slightly damaged, and the three thousand primordial heavenly dao powers were also somewhat impaired.

Hum—

After summoning the Creation Jade Disc, the Hongjun Patriarch still remained silent. He again waved his hand, shooting a chaos beam filled with profound power at the Creation Jade Disc.

In one one look/p>

Hummm—

The chaos beam sank into the Creation Jade Disc, and the disc immediately trembled violently. At the same time, the profound and inscrutable Dao patterns on its surface began to burst forth with brilliant radiance, and the three thousand primordial heavenly dao powers all began to operate in unison.

Immediately, billions of billions of wondrous auspicious colors drifted down from the Creation Jade Disc. These colors entwined above the ancient starry sky; wherever they passed, the originally chaotic and damaged primordial forces were restored one by one. Those voids that had been broken and primordial forces that had been destroyed seemed, under the influence of a reversal of time and space, to return to their original state.

Not long after, the ancient starry sky, which had been nearly returning to chaos, was completely restored to its original state.

Gazing outward, one saw that the ancient starry sky was still strewn with billions of billions of ancient stars, and the two most ancient luminaries, the sun and moon, once again radiated their light, as if the previous battle of the sages had never occurred.

But this was still far from enough. Between the Sumeru peaks, those auspicious colors entwined above the ancient starry sky fell downward toward the Honghuang Dadi…

Those auspicious colors, like swimming fish, threaded through the shattered Honghuang Dadi.

Wherever they passed, they shed strands of mysterious light, inverting yin and yang, reversing time and space, and causing all things to return to their origin.

The Hongjun Patriarch, with an ineffable Divine Ability, reshaped the mountains and rivers that had turned to dust back to their original state, as if reborn.

Such a miraculous sight left all the sages present gaping in astonishment.

They secretly admired, thinking their teacher truly deserved the title of supreme Patriarch, his methods truly unfathomable to gods and ghosts!

What is even more astonishing is that even the living beings whose souls and spirits had been scattered in the aftermath of the sages' battle have now been reborn.

Looking down, one saw between the mountains and rivers, living beings playing and frolicking, and even cultivators who should have perished were in secluded cultivation.

This sight made the mighty of all realms tremble with fear, and they felt deep awe for the terrifying power of the Hongjun Patriarch.

It is well known that once one's Cultivation Level reaches a certain degree, reviving living beings with a primordial spirit is not difficult.

Yet no one expected that even beings whose primordial spirits were utterly annihilated could be revived, and moreover in the blink of an eye.

Such a Divine Ability is simply unheard of, shocking the world and defying convention!

Not only were the mighty of all realms shocked, but the Sect Leader Tongtian and others were also greatly astonished.

Although they were Heavenly Dao sages who transcended all beings, they still could not achieve this.

Only the Honghuang Heavenly Dao, which governs the origin of all things, could accomplish this!

Meanwhile, the Hongjun Patriarch lightly gestured, and stored the Creation Jade Disc in his sleeve.

"Master!" Yuanshi Tianzun stepped through the void, first paying respects to the Hongjun Patriarch, then anxiously said, "I implore Master to have mercy and revive my Chan Teaching's tragically deceased disciples!"

However, the Hongjun Patriarch remained expressionless, uttering a Daoic sound: "Anyone who undergoes the calamity, once their primordial spirit is utterly annihilated, cannot be revived."

"But the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Derivation is forty-nine, and man escapes one."

"I can let them be listed on the Gods' Seal List, enter the Heavenly Court, and enjoy the mortal incense offerings."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's face instantly turned ashen.

The fire of hope in his heart instantly extinguished!

Cannot be revived!

Can only be listed on the Gods' Seal List!

Enter the Heavenly Court!

Does this not mean that his Chan Teaching disciples truly cannot be revived and can no longer return to the Chan Teaching?

Does this not mean that the Chan Teaching will thus decline, leaving only him alone?

Thinking of this, Yuanshi Tianzun's countenance turned ferocious, a flash of resentment glinting in his eyes.

With the Dao lineage severed and the Gods' Seal Tribulation suffered a great defeat, what face does he have left to survive, and what meaning does this Honghuang world hold for him?

At this moment, killing intent coiled around Yuanshi Tianzun's body, and his eyes revealed a maddened gleam.

From within him actually streamed strands of black qi, as if he were about to fall into the demonic path.

"Yuanshi, do not be obstinately deluded!" the Hongjun Patriarch shouted lowly.

That sound, like a great bell, exploded in Yuanshi Tianzun's primordial spirit, causing him to awaken as if from a dream.

A wave of lingering fear rose in his heart; he nearly lost his resolve, was tempted by the heart-demon, and would have fallen into the demonic path.

But even so, Yuanshi Tianzun remained unwilling, asking the Hongjun Patriarch, "Master, merciful, you once said that minor trends of the Heavenly Dao can be changed, but major trends cannot be reversed. I once deduced the heavenly secrets and learned that in this Gods' Seal Tribulation, the Severing Teaching should be destroyed, while the Chan Teaching should flourish."

"Why has it now become that the Chan Teaching is destroyed, while not a single disciple of the Severing Teaching is listed?"

"The disciple harbors unwillingness!" (End of chapter)
