Chapter 214: Su Chen's Words Shock the Semi-Sage

"Enter."

From behind the palace gate came a cold, majestic voice that could not distinguish joy or anger.

The moment the words fell, the heavy palace gate cast from stellar divine gold opened inward silently.

Wen Zhong nodded slightly to Su Chen and stepped in first.

Su Chen took a deep breath and followed closely behind.

The moment he stepped into the Dou Palace, the scene before his eyes made Su Chen's heart tremble.

There was no golden brilliance of ordinary immortal palaces, no carved beams or painted rafters.

What entered Su Chen's eyes seemed to be a boundless universe.

Under his feet was a brilliant galaxy gathered from billions of stars, flowing slowly; every step he took felt like stepping on a real star field.

Above his head was a grand celestial map of the stars of the entire sky operating according to mysterious trajectories.

Su Chen felt that he had not walked into a palace, but had stepped into the starry sky of the entire Three Realms.

At the very center of this starry universe, on a Dao platform condensed from endless starlight, sat a figure.

The person was draped in a purple-gold Dao robe woven from ten thousand stars, wearing a nine-star crown, with a sacred and majestic face; one could not tell the specific age, and between the opening and closing of a pair of eyes, it seemed to contain countless stars.

Doumu Yuanjun sat there quietly, not deliberately emitting any aura.

But the Dao rhyme of being the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars naturally permeated, making Su Chen feel a sense of oppression rushing toward him.

"Disciple Wen Zhong, pays respects to Master!"

Wen Zhong stepped forward quickly and bowed respectfully to the figure on the Dao platform.

"Su Chen has met Doumu Yuanjun."

Su Chen also bowed to the figure neither humble nor arrogant.

On the Dao platform, Doumu Yuanjun, or rather Golden Spirit Holy Mother, had those eyes that seemed to contain stars linger on Su Chen for a moment.

For just that moment, Su Chen felt as if he had been thoroughly seen through from his physical body to his Primordial Spirit.

"Wen Zhong, you may withdraw."

Doumu Yuanjun said lightly.

"Yes, Master."

Wen Zhong bowed again and then respectfully exited the Dou Palace.

As Wen Zhong left, the palace gate behind Su Chen slowly closed, leaving only Su Chen and Doumu Yuanjun in the Dou Palace hall.

Doumu Yuanjun looked at Su Chen, and her voice rang in Su Chen's ears.

"Su Chen, you are merely a wild, wandering immortal; how dare you harbor the delusion of making me step forward to contend with the Jade Emperor?"

"In these Three Realms, there are countless people seeking my protection; why do you think I would go against the co-master of the Three Realms for your mere Demon Alliance?"

The moment Doumu Yuanjun's words fell, the Semi-Sage pressure on her body no longer converged, rushing toward Su Chen like a mountain-toppling sea.

Su Chen's physical body treasure light was instantly stimulated, the Taiyi Jin Xian level Qi and blood power operating violently, and the whole person was like a divine spear rooted in the galaxy, his figure unmoved.

He withstood the terrifying pressure and spoke slowly.

"Although the Yuanjun is the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars of the Heavenly Court, I fear she has little respect for the 'Great Heavenly Sovereign' on the dragon chair in the Lingxiao Palace."

As soon as these words were spoken, the galaxy slowly flowing in the hall suddenly stagnated.

Doumu Yuanjun's gaze toward Su Chen condensed slightly.

Su Chen immediately felt the pressure he was bearing increase by a few points.

But Su Chen did not stop and continued: "When the Jie Sect's Ten Thousand Immortal Array was broken in the past, the Yuanjun's fellow disciples died, were injured, were converted, or were on the list. Is the Yuanjun really willing to just sit here in this Dou Palace, watching the enemies of the past enjoy the luck of the Three Realms and become increasingly prosperous?"

"Presumptuous!"

Doumu Yuanjun let out a cold shout, and the galaxy in the hall under Su Chen's feet instantly boiled, as if it were about to swallow him.

Su Chen's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't realized his situation, and continued:

"The Jade Emperor did not hesitate to lower his status to conspire with the Buddhist sect to create a fake Sun Wukong, and the Buddhist sect even mobilized three Semi-Sages to set up a killing trap on Flower Fruit Mountain. I think the Yuanjun should understand that the goal of the Buddhist sect and the Jade Emperor is not just to eradicate the Demon Alliance; there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this."

"The Yuanjun has great divine abilities and is followed by a group of former Jie Sect disciples; the Yuanjun should know that this is the Buddhist sect pushing a plan that has been plotted for countless years. And the Jade Emperor helping the Buddhist sect is both completing a task and wanting to get a share of the pie from this plan of the Buddhist sect."

Su Chen looked directly into Doumu Yuanjun's cold eyes, his voice suddenly...

"But in my opinion, the Jade Emperor cooperating with the Buddhist sect seems profitable, but it is actually inviting a wolf into the house. Over the years, the power of the Heavenly Court has been eroded bit by bit by the Western Buddhist sect."

"However, I think the Yuanjun should not care about this, and even be somewhat happy to see the Jade Emperor's power being gradually eroded."

"But is the Yuanjun willing to see the Buddhist sect become increasingly strong? I think compared to the Jade Emperor, the Yuanjun is even less willing to see the Buddhist sect become increasingly prosperous."

"After all, the Buddhist sect can be said to have risen by dividing the Jie Sect."

Hearing this, Doumu Yuanjun's eyes became increasingly deep; Su Chen's words had already touched her heartstrings.

The pressure in the hall had dissipated unknowingly.

Su Chen, sensing the change, knew his words had worked.

He struck while the iron was hot and continued: "The Yuanjun must still remember the old events of the Investiture of the Gods. In the Ten Thousand Immortal Array that year, the two Western Sages suddenly appeared, disregarding the face of Sages, and personally entered the field to help the one from Kunlun Palace besiege the Sect Master."

Listening to Su Chen talk about the past of the Investiture of the Gods catastrophe, Doumu Yuanjun's eyes condensed; she didn't know why Su Chen mentioned the battle of the Ten Thousand Immortal Array at this time.

"I don't know if the Yuanjun knows that it was not an accident, but a deal between the two from Yuxu Palace and Bajing Palace and the two Western Sages."

"Those two exchanged the permission for 'the spread of Buddha Dharma to the East and the great prosperity of the Buddhist sect' for the two Western Sages to take action to completely destroy the Jie Sect, in order to safely pass through the catastrophe."

As soon as Su Chen said this, the light of billions of stars in the entire Dou Palace hall trembled, the trajectories of the stars in the sky were disordered, and a terrifying killing intent that could not be described instantly locked onto Su Chen completely.

"Shut up!"

On the Dao platform, Doumu Yuanjun stood up abruptly.

On her face, which usually didn't show joy or anger, appeared a look of unbelievable horror.

"The game of the Sages is not something you can recklessly discuss!"

"Such hidden karma that spans catastrophes, even a Great Luo Jin Xian might not be able to catch a glimpse of it. Where did you, a mere Mystic Immortal, learn of it?"

She stared fixedly at Su Chen; as a participant, she had only had a vague guess about such secrets from some clues in these endless years, but she dared not be sure at all.

But today, this little cultivator who looked like an ant in her eyes seemed to know everything about that old event clearly.

How could this be!

Doumu Yuanjun's heart set off a towering wave; she looked at Su Chen and became suspicious of Su Chen's background.

In Doumu Yuanjun's view, behind Su Chen, there must stand an existence capable of playing games with Sages.

Otherwise, he would have no possibility of knowing the deal between Sages.

But she thought about it and felt that it was unlikely that anyone in the Three Realms could intervene in the game between those four.

"Could it be the Teacher?" Doumu Yuanjun couldn't help but think.

Since the Investiture of the Gods catastrophe, she had never seen the Tongtian Jiaozhu, nor did she know what attitude Tongtian had toward the former Western Sect, now the Buddhist sect. ===== CHAPTER 215 =====
