Chapter 73: Zhunti: It's Over, the Western Continent is Lost!

"What!!?" Yewenhua shouted, his face filled with disbelief.

Cangtian could not help but smile, reaching out to point at the void.

"Just watch!"

Only to see Cangtian's hand tear through the void, reaching into an unknown dimension; after exploring inside for a moment, he pulled back, and the countless figures of Jieyin, who had transformed into various identities, returned to their source, becoming the original Jieyin.

At this moment.

Seeing that he had been dragged back so quickly, Jieyin could not help but give a bitter smile.

"Fellow Daoist Cangtian, what must this poor Daoist do to resolve the Cause and Effect between us?"

Seeing this, Cangtian smiled faintly and then said: "You should be asking the God King of Light of my Divine Court, Yewenhua, for it is someone from his Pantheon System that Zhunti kidnapped this time!"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin could not help but cast his gaze toward Yewenhua.

Seeing this, Yewenhua calmed the frustration in his heart slightly and said: "This King knows that Shalier and the others have not suffered Death, so please explain their whereabouts; furthermore, for this Cause and Effect, you shall use the Merit Golden Lotus to offset it!"

Cangtian smiled faintly at these words, but Jieyin frowned.

Meanwhile, the Zhunti who was under the Seal glared furiously at Yewenhua, yet he could not speak.

Just as Jieyin was hesitating.

The figure of an old Daoist suddenly appeared in the void not far from them.

This scene immediately shocked both Yewenhua and Cangtian.

What shocked Yewenhua was that someone could appear out of thin air within the region he had intercepted, and he had not perceived it at all.

And what shocked Cangtian was that he could not discern the background of the old Daoist before him!

However, one thing was certain.

This old Daoist was definitely a Proof of Rice practitioner no weaker than himself, and an unknown one at that!

Thinking of this, Cangtian asked with a slightly solemn expression.

"Fellow Daoist, having descended to this place, may I ask what your instruction is?"

Jieyin, who had intended to make a decision, calmed down upon seeing this, silently observing Cangtian, the old Daoist, and the others.

Regarding Cangtian's question, the old Daoist merely glanced briefly at this intercepted world and then smiled: "This poor Daoist is Yang Mei!"

"As for why I appeared here, I was merely curious as to why the Primordial World suddenly had a hole in it, so I ran over to take a look!"

As he spoke, while Yangmei Laozu examined his surroundings, he would occasionally sigh in a low voice: "Indeed, the Primordial World is still more comfortable to look at!"

In fact.

After parting at Zixiao Palace, he had transformed into a massive Chaos Willow Tree around the Primordial World.

While slowly absorbing Chaos Qi, he also continuously roamed the Heavens and Myriad Worlds under the Great Rice.

Until a certain moment.

He suddenly sensed that a certain part of the Primordial Western Continent seemed to have been bitten off, leaving behind a region that the Heavenly Rice did not manage.

Curious, he could not help but cross layers of space and descend directly here.

Then, he saw this scene.

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, I am Cangtian of the Divine Court!" Although he could not understand Yang Mei, the pressure he brought could not be faked.

Wishing to avoid unnecessary trouble, he could not help but say again: "Since you are just passing by, Fellow Daoist, please feel free to do as you please!"

As he spoke, he intended to grab Jieyin and Zhunti and head toward the Lingshan region of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Seeing this, Yewenhua understood that the person before him was an unknown powerhouse, so he did not speak rashly, but silently intended to retract the Creation Canon and cancel the restrictions on this region.

However.

Having finally returned to the Primordial World without needing to provoke the Primordial Heavenly Rice, and not yet having figured out the reason why, how could he just let them leave like this?

Thus, he immediately waved his hand, reinforcing the restrictions on this region, causing the time for this place to be separated from the Primordial World to be extended.

"Fellow Daoists, wait a moment!"

After Yang Mei called out to Cangtian and the others, he smiled slightly under their vigilant gazes: "I wonder if you could clear up my confusion: why did this place suddenly break away from the control of the Primordial World?"

As he spoke, Yang Mei's gaze was drawn to the Creation Canon floating in Yewenhua's palm.

As he continuously analyzed the Innate Indestructible Spiritual Light within it, he instantly grasped its basic function.

"So that is how it is! Wonderful, this poor Daoist has attained enlightenment!"

Through Yewenhua's Creation Canon, Yangmei Laozu attained a heaven-reaching divine ability on the spot.

Relying on his understanding of the Space Great Rice, he could easily intercept a place even broader than the Creation Canon, and with his power supporting it, he could keep this region permanently.

Not only that, this region could expand or shrink according to his will, and it could move as he moved.

This was equivalent to him having a function to block the investigation of the Heavenly Rice anytime and anywhere.

Moreover, as long as he lived, this missing region of the Primordial World would always exist.

Thinking this through, he immediately smiled slightly.

And Cangtian, opposite him, looked at him in confusion.

First telling them to wait, then talking to himself, appearing to have a sudden realization.

So, what exactly did he understand?

Thinking this, Cangtian could not help but look at the Creation Canon in Yewenhua's hand.

To be honest, this Creation Canon did have a unique quality in intercepting the world, but was this worth a Proof of Rice practitioner getting excited over?

In fact.

If he could see the identity of Yangmei Laozu as a Chaos Demon God, he would understand why Yangmei Laozu was like this.

Having figured out the reason, Yangmei Laozu no longer paid attention to the Creation Canon, but turned his gaze toward Jieyin and Zhunti.

He then instantly grasped the identities and origins of the two.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "These two Fellow Daoists have a predestined affinity with this poor Daoist; Fellow Daoist Cangtian, could you please hand them over to me?"

Speaking of this, he saw the unkind gazes of Cangtian and Yewenhua, so he immediately added: "This poor Daoist is an old acquaintance of your God Court Lord, Shengling Huang. If there is anything improper, you may mention this poor Daoist to him; I believe Fellow Daoist Shengling Huang will understand what is meant!"

Cangtian and the others, who were originally still angry at Yangmei Laozu for pushing his luck, nodded and agreed to the proposal of Yangmei Laozu after exchanging glances with Yewenhua.

However, before this, Zhunti still had to disclose the whereabouts of Shalier and the rest of the Angel God Race.

After communicating well with Yangmei Laozu, Cangtian released the restrictions on the two of them.

And Zhunti also knew deeply that he could no longer keep hiding it.

Thus, he disclosed the whereabouts of Shalier and the others, but he only disclosed the whereabouts of Shalier and the others, without explaining what exactly had happened to them.

Seeing this, Cangtian looked toward Yewenhua, and under Yewenhua's slight unwillingness, took him away toward the Lingshan region of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

As for Jieyin and Zhunti, they had not yet recovered from the aftermath of the disaster. Looking at the direction in which Cangtian and the others had left, they suddenly seemed to think of something, exchanged a look, and then Zhunti suddenly shouted in sorrow.

"It's ruined! My Spirit Mountain Realm~"

And Jieyin also wore a look of helpless misery.

Seeing this, Yang Mei asked curiously: "Why are you two like this?"

"Senior, the accumulation of our countless years will finally be destroyed in one day today~!"

Originally, the entire Western Continent region was already incomparably barren compared to the other three continents.

The accumulation that the two brothers had painstakingly searched for over countless years might become nothing today!

Thinking of this, the two brothers looked even more sorrowful.

As for why Yangmei Laozu had saved the two brothers, it was nothing more than two points.

One was that they were both Innate Spiritual Roots that had taken human form, and they were also from the Western Continent like him, so they were fated.

The other was their status.

The status of being registered disciples of Hongjun Daozu, and the fact that Hongjun owed the Western Continent, leading to the insufficient foundation of Jieyin and Zhunti, while he had saved the two brothers.

This was equivalent to Hongjun owing him a Cause and Effect, which would be repaid sooner or later.

As for the fact that he conversely owed a Cause and Effect to the God Court's Shengling Huang, that was a separate matter.

After bidding farewell to Jieyin and Zhunti, Yangmei Laozu tore through the void and headed straight for the Chaos Purple Heaven Palace.

And when Jieyin and Zhunti returned to the Lingshan region of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, it was indeed as they had expected.

The accumulation they had painstakingly managed for countless years had finally vanished into thin air at this moment!

Zhunti's heart was bleeding; this was what he had shamelessly swindled and bluffed for all these years... Bah!

This was the precious resource he had harvested after experiencing countless opportunities over these years!

And most of the resources within were obtained through his painstaking management!
