Chapter 305: then translation of title, then ===GLOSSARY=== then list of named entities

The Demon Court's actions have always been violent and swift.

Having made a decision, Di Jun Taiyi issued an order.

In an instant, within the vast Demon Court, countless beings sprang into busy activity.

A rich and sharp killing intent gradually spread out.

Between Heaven and Earth!

Countless mighty figures sensed something, glanced sideways, and looked uncertainly toward beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"Hiss... Within the Demon Court, the killing intent rises again—what do they intend?!"

"What a terrifying aura—could the Demon Race be about to start another great war?!"

"This... shouldn't be; the ceasefire hasn't ended yet—how dare Di Jun Taiyi and the others defy the Dao Ancestor's edict?!"

All beings whispered and discussed in confusion.

Even though separated by endless time and space, the chilling aura sweeping out from the Demon Court still gives all beings a feeling of scalp tingling and heart-pounding dread.

Any movement in the Demon Court must herald an ominous event.

Yet all beings clearly know that, from the time the Dao Ancestor Hongjun set the ceasefire, there is still some time left before it ends.

Thus, where does the Demon Race get the gall to dare start a war early?!

Panic and doubt immediately spread throughout Heaven and Earth, leaving every cultivator unable to remain calm.

At this moment, in Kunlun Mountain.

The Three Pure Ones also gazed deeply, staring toward the direction of the Demon Court.

"The human race..."

"The Wu-Demon conflict will ultimately drag the human race into it."

"The human race's essence can shatter the Wu Clan's flesh; all this is their fate, and the calamity they are destined to endure."

Laozi spoke thus, saying softly.

Although all beings were bewildered, the sages, in a single thought, perceived the heavenly secrets.

Even earlier, the Three Pure Ones had already, from afar, seen everything happening within the Demon Court.

That the human race would face a great calamity was clear to all three of them.

"Elder Brother Tai Shang, this time should we intervene to save the human race's beings?!"

Tongtian, with a rather solemn expression, asked.

"If it were another race, the Three Pure Ones would naturally not care—what does their life or death have to do with us?!"

"But the human race is different."

Laozi founded the Ren Sect based on the human race's fortune.

In other words, the human race is the foundation of the Ren Sect.

However, upon hearing Tongtian's words, Laozi did not immediately respond.

On the contrary, he turned his gaze, as if glancing toward the Western Buddhist Sect.

Then he spoke with deep meaning:

"Let us first observe the changes."

"And see how the Western Buddhist Sect reacts."

Upon these words,

Yuanshi and Tongtian both couldn't help but show doubtful, puzzled expressions.

"Look at the Western Buddhist Sect's reaction?!"

"Are we to give away this great opportunity to gain prestige among the human race to the West?!"

But then we heard Laozi continue:

"If the Three Sages of the West act to save the human race, my second and younger brothers shall block them."

"Then I will act to manifest sageliness among the human race."

"Conversely, if the West merely watches, I can personally manifest and protect some of the human race, shielding them from the Demon Race's slaughter."

"Thus, whichever path, our fame will surely flourish, and the human race's fortune will gather to us."

Laozi fully laid out what was in his mind.

Upon hearing his explanation, Yuanshi and Tongtian suddenly realized.

Immediately after, their faces lit up with joy and excitement.

"Marvelous!"

"Truly marvelous!"

One could say that what the Three Pure Ones now care about most is not how the human race fares, but the prestige of the Western Buddhist Sect.

This time, the human race's calamity, Laozi actually intends to turn it into an opportunity to suppress the Buddhist Sect's might.

In short, ultimately only the Three Pure Ones can act and let the human race see grace.

It must be said, Laozi's scheming is indeed deep, few can match.

Besides that, Yuanshi also thought of something and said in a low voice:

"This time the human race suffering calamity is also the trend of the Heavenly Dao; we must not interfere excessively."

"Thus, even if we act, we need only protect a small portion of human race beings; that is enough."

"As for other beings, let the Demon Race slaughter them."

"Thus, we can neither violate the trend of the Heavenly Dao nor fail to gain the awe and reverence of the surviving human race!"

Yuanshi's words can be called ruthless and cruel!

The lives of countless humans are, in his eyes, mere weeds, not worth mentioning.

After all, the Dao cultivated by Yuanshi is essentially to expound the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Dao and to act in accordance with the Heavenly Dao's great trend.

Moreover, the Jie Sect and humanity have no deep relationship; the latter's life or death is of no concern to Yuanshi, so why should he care?!

But the crucial point is, upon hearing Yuanshi's words, Laozi merely pondered for a moment and then actually gave a slight nod.

What Yuanshi said is indeed most advantageous for the Three Pure Ones.

In short, as the leader of the Ren Sect, Laozi does pay attention to humanity's situation and is prepared to intervene.

But what he concerns himself with is only a small portion of humanity.

As for the majority of humanity about to be slaughtered by the Demon Race?

By then, those humans will have long since perished in body and Dao; even if their resentment fills the heavens, what can they do?!

Afterward, the Three Pure Ones fell into silence, quietly awaiting the Demon Race's move.

Just as the Three Pure Ones were scheming.

Beyond the Chaos.

After Chen Ku's continual embellishments, the Chaos world at this point can be described as heaven‑changing and earth‑transforming, with tremendous change.

The former desolate, barren scenery is no more.

As far as the eye can see, countless spiritual roots, immortal fruits, and heavenly treasures burst forth with holy, auspicious immortal light, dazzling and brilliant.

And with countless spiritual roots taking root in the earth, the ley lines begin to take shape, which is quite extraordinary.

In the void, auspicious rosy clouds and splendid colors rise and shine upon each other, making one feel relaxed throughout and the divine sense clear.

Simply put, the interior of the Chaos Pearl already possesses the rudimentary form of a complete world.

By this time, Chen Ku's newly broken‑through Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation has also become much more solid, without any feeling of emptiness.

At one moment, he slowly opened his eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

"Hehe, it's about enough!"

"It's time to return to the primordial world."

With a thought, Chen Ku manifested in the external Chaos.

And the Chaos Pearl flashed, shrinking to the size of a fingertip, and fell into Chen Ku's sea of consciousness.

Although its shape diminished, within it the primal source of a heaven and earth surged and churned incessantly, allowing Chen Ku to sense it clearly and secretly marvel.

Having just finished all that.

Suddenly!

A voice echoed from the depths of Chaos.

"Hehe... in this eternally dead‑still Chaos, I can still see you, little friend."

"It seems we are quite fated to meet."

Hearing this, Chen Ku's heart jolted.

There are still strong beings in Chaos?!

He abruptly turned his body and looked toward the sound.

First to enter his sight was a vast expanse of emerald light, dim and mysterious, illuminating billions of miles of the universe, profound and ever more profound.

Amidst the all‑covering emerald light, a figure gradually emerged.

Seeing this, Chen Ku's expression twitched slightly.

Spatial law!

Not bad!

At a glance, Chen Ku recognized that the newcomer's endless legal order, Daoic divine patterns, and so on, were all fluctuations of spatial law.

And as he drew nearer, he finally made out the newcomer's appearance.

It was an immensely towering figure, resembling a demon god, with eyes that gleamed brightly.

Most strangely, his eyebrows were snow‑white, extremely fine and long, extending like two willow branches straight into the deepest reaches of Chaos.

"This is... Yangmei the Great Immortal?!"

"One of the ancient Great Dao demon gods, the Spatial Demon God?!"

"Ah, suffering, suffering.... How could I have met this person?!"

Chen Ku's heart surged, having already recognized the comer.

Only the legendary Spatial Demon God, namely Yangmei the Great Immortal, could possess such vast, abyss‑like spatial law fluctuations.

For a moment, Chen Ku could not help but lament repeatedly in his heart.

The might of the Spatial Demon God is beyond doubt.

Yet now, while situated beyond Chaos, he has encountered such a being.

Whether it is fortune or misfortune, it is truly hard to predict!

Just as he was pondering, that figure on the other side had already descended before him.

The other party seemed quite at ease, chuckling lightly as he spoke:

"Hehe, little friend, are you a primordial being?!"

"Why have you appeared in the depths of this Chaos?!"

The newcomer asked in this manner.

Evidently, he seems quite familiar with the beings of the primordial world.

Or perhaps, Chen Ku's aura gives him a sense of familiarity.

This is why he directly stated Chen Ku's origin.

Hearing this, Chen Ku's face remained waveless, still calm.

He secretly gauged the other's intent, while responding calmly and composedly:

"Not bad, this junior is indeed a Primordial Wilderness cultivator."

"It's merely that I felt something and came here to gain a little insight into the Chaos principles."

"Chen Ku's words were quite polite, or rather humble, as he referred to himself as junior."

"After all, don't forget that pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger is also one of Chen Ku's specialties."

"In the present situation where the other party's intentions are unclear, being courteous is the safest course."

"After a pause in his speech, Chen Ku then asked in return:"

"May I ask, senior, are you Yangmei Great Immortal?!"

"This time, however, the person opposite him in the Dao discussion was astonished."

"All that could be seen was his eyebrows slightly twitching, his gaze inscrutable."

"Oh? You know this venerable one?!"

"No need to say more."

"That single sentence already showed that this person is indeed Yangmei Great Immortal."

"Chen Ku's guess was correct!"

"For a moment, Chen Ku's heart was even more shaken."

"This guy really isn't dead!"

"All along, the so-called Yangmei Great Immortal existed only in the legends of sentient beings."

"This led some beings to naturally assume that perhaps he had already perished and no longer existed."

"But now it seems that Yangmei did not perish, but rather hid himself in Chaos, remaining unseen in the world."

"\"Space Demon God, one of the demon gods of the Three Thousand Great Daos of old. \""

"\"Senior's name is still passed around among the Primordial Wilderness beings. \""

"Chen Ku responded."

"Saying a few kind words won't cost anything."

"Moreover, these words are indeed true."

"As the saying goes, 'When time does not emerge, space reigns supreme,' this is a consensus among all beings."

"From this it can be seen that, in the minds of beings, the status of the Space Demon God is not inferior to that of the Hongjun Dao Ancestor."

"Furthermore, due to its inherent mystery and the fact that it never manifests in the world, it inspires in beings an ineffable longing."

"Upon hearing these words, Yangmei Great Immortal was obviously quite pleased."

"\"Hehe, little friend, your words are quite pleasant to hear. \""

"\"This venerable one has also once witnessed the sight of the Primordial Wilderness sentient beings. \""

"\"However, for us demon gods, Chaos is ultimately where we belong. \""

"\"Therefore, this venerable one has long grown accustomed to wandering in Chaos, and does not like to stay in the Primordial Wilderness heaven and earth. \""

"Yangmei Great Immortal chuckled lightly, responding in this manner."

"His words were carefree, as if everything was simply because he disliked the environment of the Primordial Wilderness heaven and earth, thus choosing to hide in Chaos as before."

"Chen Ku neither agreed nor disagreed, but was secretly pondering in his heart."

"Is it that Yangmei Great Immortal chose to distance himself from the Primordial Wilderness heaven and earth of his own accord, or was he compelled to do so?!"

"This...... perhaps a question mark should be added."

"Of course, Chen Ku did not voice the thoughts in his heart."

"The two then began to chat idly."

"However, their conversation consisted only of some harmless pleasantries and formalities."

"Chen Ku lowered his own stance, which Yangmei Great Immortal found quite pleasing."

"Likewise, in Chen Ku's presence, Yangmei also appeared very approachable, without any ferocious or violent aura."

"He seemed entirely like a good person."

"After a moment, Yangmei Great Immortal finally thought of something and carefully gazed at Chen Ku."

"Thereafter, he nodded approvingly."

"\"As a Primordial Wilderness being, yet able to break the shackles of that heaven and earth and attain the Dao as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. \""

"\"Such talent is indeed quite extraordinary! \""

"Yangmei said thus."

"Obviously, he also has some understanding of the Primordial Wilderness heaven and earth's legal order, its shackles and bindings, etc."

"Only then did he know the difficulty of attaining the Dao as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal."

"These words moved Chen Ku's heart."

"Without a doubt, Yangmei Great Immortal's cultivation is certainly at the level of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and perhaps even stronger than my own."

"Chen Ku could only speculate thus, without being certain."

"The reason is none other than!"

"From beginning to end, Yangmei Great Immortal's surroundings were filled only with the endless, vast flow of spatial laws, while his cultivation aura was not very obvious."

"Yet, facing Yangmei's praise, Chen Ku did not become conceited."

"\"Alas, suffering, suffering...... \""

"\"This junior has managed to attain the Dao as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and indeed has gone through many hardships. \""

"He then went on another bout of bitter lamenting, appearing in any eyes as a harmless, inoffensive figure."

"However, if these words were heard by the Primordial Wilderness beings, they would surely scold Chen Ku for being shameless again."

"Hardships?!"

You little brat, you've risen strong all the way, with countless spiritual treasures and an astonishing foundation.

Besides, you have three great saints as your backing.

You call this hard?!

Of course, Yang Mei Great Immortal doesn't know any of this.

Hearing that, Yang Mei nodded.

You don't possess any Primordial Chaos Purple Qi.

The path to proving the Dao is indeed somewhat more difficult.

Yang Mei Great Immortal spoke calmly and composedly.

But this time, Chen Ku's heart jolted.

Yang Mei actually knows this much?!

Hearing his calm, unwavering tone, he not only knows that in the present wilderness, one proves the Dao with Primordial Chaos Purple Qi.

Moreover, it seems he has even seen through the very basis of one's own origin?!

This feels somewhat frightening!

And it seems he saw the astonishment and surprise in Chen Ku's eyes.

Yang Mei smiled, unfazed.

Hehe, do you think... only Hongjun holds the Primordial Chaos Purple Qi?

Chen Ku's expression shifted dramatically.

Before he could fully grasp the implication, he saw Yang Mei Great Immortal suddenly flip his palm.

Immediately, a strand of Primordial Chaos Purple Qi appeared in his palm.

In an instant, Chen Ku's expression shifted, his heart shaken violently.
