Chapter 1050: The Three Saints Journey to Heaven Beyond Heaven! Ancestor Hongjun

With a flash of his form, Master Yuanshi also directly headed toward Heaven Beyond Heaven.

······

Ba Jing Palace.

"The moment has finally arrived; it is indeed time for me to act."

Subtle threads of Dao rhythm flowed over Saint Taishang.

Long before the Heavenly Wrath descended, Saint Taishang had sensed it and recalled all his incarnations.

Thus, Ancestor Hongjun never discovered Saint Taishang's true nature.

Saint Tongtian appeared in Heaven Beyond Heaven, and Saint Taishang sensed it.

With Saint Taishang's wisdom, he naturally realized that Ancestor Hongjun would inevitably compel them all to act.

Since the balance has been broken, a new balance must be constructed.

This process will happen to allow us to test the true caliber of the several Saints.

Previously, we forbade the Saints from acting because their connections spanned too widely—one hair pulled moves the whole body.

Ancestor Hongjun did not wish for the Saints to act unless absolutely necessary.

Aside from the Western Two Saints, Ancestor Hongjun had lost trust in the other Saints.

This is why, after the Western Two Saints were trapped, Ancestor Hongjun chose to activate his own hidden measures rather than summon any of the Saints.

Yin and yang light swirled, and Saint Taishang transformed into black and white qi, flying toward Heaven Beyond Heaven.

······

Heaven Beyond Heaven.

Upon receiving Ancestor Hongjun's decree, the three Saints immediately hastened toward Heaven Beyond Heaven.

Thus, Taiyuan arrived at Heaven Beyond Heaven almost simultaneously.

"Greetings, Elder Brother Taishang!"

Seeing Saint Taishang take form from the yin-yang light, Master Yuanshi and Pingxin Niangniang both bowed respectfully.

The other five Saints held great respect for Saint Taishang.

The Western Two Saints' respect was forced.

Master Yuanshi, Pingxin Niangniang, and Saint Tongtian's respect came from the heart.

They had all received guidance from Saint Taishang more than once.

And to them, Saint Taishang felt much like Luo Fu—mysterious and powerful.

Even the Western Two Saints, who spared no means, dared not show the slightest disrespect to Saint Taishang.

"Yuanshi, Pingxin, you've come too."

Saint Taishang nodded slightly to Master Yuanshi and Pingxin Niangniang, then turned his gaze to the Twelve Yuan Chen Small Heaven.

Master Yuanshi and Pingxin Niangniang, like Saint Taishang, fixed their eyes on the Twelve Yuan Chen Small Heaven.

The Twelve Yuan Chen Small Heaven bore no power imposed by Ancestor Hongjun.

Thus, the Saints could still see the scenes within.

Of course, only the Saints and a few great transcendents could.

The Heavenly Dao energy gathered in the Twelve Yuan Chen Small Heaven was too vast.

Even without Ancestor Hongjun's imposed power, it naturally blocked sight and perception.

Ordinary immortals and gods, with their too-low realms, could not pierce the innate barrier of the Twelve Yuan Chen Small Heaven.

"The Dao of Time—the Twelve Yuan Chen have indeed cultivated the Dao of Time. Past and future bodies—fascinating, though the technique's limitations are too great."

With a single glance, Saint Taishang understood nearly all of the Twelve Yuan Chen Small Heaven.

Though he did not uncover all its mysteries, he discerned key basics—including the technique the Twelve Yuan Chen employed, which he immediately recognized.

"The Dao of Time—truly rare. The Twelve Yuan Chen must have been born of destiny, naturally attuned to the Dao of Time; otherwise, they could never have cultivated it to this realm."

Though Pingxin Niangniang's insight fell short of Saint Taishang's, she still perceived certain truths.

For instance, she saw that the Twelve Yuan Chen were formed by Heaven and Earth's creation—primordial lifeforms.

Only primordial lifeforms could align with the Dao of Time and cultivate it to the mid-stage of Transcendent.

"Indeed, the Master's methods remain as astonishing as ever—he found all these primordial lifeforms and crafted a grand array tailored for them."

Gazing at the Twelve Yuan Chen Array, Master Yuanshi's eyes flickered with admiration—and a deeply hidden wariness.

"The Twelve Yuan Chen Array—even if we were caught within, we would surely face certain death."

"Indeed. The earlier Five Directions Five Elements Array, and now this Twelve Yuan Chen Array—both are terrifyingly powerful. I never imagined the Master still held such arrays."

Pingxin Niangniang echoed Master Yuanshi's sigh.

Of course, this was also her true thought.

She had never expected Ancestor Hongjun to hide so deeply.

He still possessed such formidable hidden measures.

Thus, Pingxin Niangniang rated Ancestor Hongjun as extremely treacherous.

This was the unspoken thought in Pingxin Niangniang's mind.

Saint Taishang said nothing; his gaze remained fixed on the Twelve Yuan Chen Array, Dao rhythm continuously swirling in his eyes, as if attempting to peer into its mysteries.

"Elder Brother Taishang, what should we do next? Enter the Twelve Yuan Chen Small Heaven and join the Twelve Yuan Chen in suppressing the Twelve Ancestral Wushen?"

After waiting a moment and seeing Saint Taishang remain motionless, Master Yuanshi could not help but ask.

Master Yuanshi still took Ancestor Hongjun's command seriously.

"Wait."

Saint Taishang, still contemplating the mysteries of the Twelve Yuan Chen Array, did not hesitate—he simply uttered a single, calm word.

Upon hearing the Supreme Sage's reply, Master Yuanshi's gaze began to flicker, as if contemplating whether to act now.

"I also think we should wait; perhaps the Twelve Yuan Chen can suppress the Twelve Ancestral Witches without our intervention."

At this moment, Pingxin Niangniang's voice rang out.

She had chosen to abide by the Supreme Sage's decision.

Pingxin Niangniang had appeared in the Outer Heavens solely to observe Luo Fu more closely, not because she truly intended to act against him.

The Supreme Sage's word "wait" suited Pingxin Niangniang perfectly.
