Chapter 350: Di Jun Wants to Cry but Has No Tears, the Strange Cloud Qi of Kunlun Mountain?!

At this moment, all three had activated their spatial divine abilities, moving as swiftly as lightning.

In the void, only strands of immortal light remained, gradually fading away.

In just a few breaths, the three had entered the endless star sea, causing the breath above the high heavens to explode, countless great stars roaring, the momentum terrifying.

Yet they did not know that this act, within the Demon Court, had already triggered a great commotion.

Beyond the thirty-three heavens, within the Demon Court.

Countless Demon Race beings gathered, holding star banners, which fluttered loudly, releasing divine radiance across the sky.

Di Jun Taiyi stood upon the ninth heaven, gazing down at the scene before him, his face showing a haughty smile.

"Hmph, back then Chen Ku wiped out my tens of millions of Demon Race with a single palm."

"But I never expected that we would turn misfortune into fortune, using this to further perfect the great battle, making its power even stronger."

Di Jun spoke thus, quite pleased with himself.

Indeed!

The scene before them was precisely Di Jun Taiyi commanding the Demon Race beings, re-drilling the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array.

Moreover, compared to before, the power of this array had been strengthened once again.

Thus, Di Jun became even more elated and arrogant, unrestrained.

Upon hearing Di Jun's words, Taiyi beside him also nodded.

"The Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array strengthened, plus the Tu Wu Sword."

"When the final battle erupts, we will surely be able to annihilate the Wu......"

Taiyi was also full of ambition and confidence.

However, before he could finish speaking.

Suddenly, Taiyi's expression shifted, and he felt something in his heart.

Then he abruptly turned his head, pupils contracting sharply as he looked toward a certain direction.

Seeing this, Di Jun asked doubtfully:

"Taiyi, what's going on?!"

But Taiyi did not turn his head, replying in a deep voice:

"A powerful intruder has entered the star sea, now heading toward this place."

Upon hearing this, Di Jun's expression changed, immediately turning grim.

One must know that when the first Wu-Yao great war ceased hostilities, Hongjun Daozu once issued a divine edict.

"Yao governs heaven, Wu governs earth!"

Moreover, the Demon Court has grown increasingly powerful.

Therefore, the entire endless star sea has long been the territory of the Demon Race.

Ordinary strong beings of ordinary times would never dare to rashly set foot here, fearing to provoke the Demon Court and bring upon themselves deadly disaster.

Today, who is it, so audacious?!

Di Jun also immediately extended his divine sense, beginning to sense.

But after only a moment, the expressions of the two suddenly changed drastically.

"Damn... it's Jieyin, Zhunti, and Chen Ku!"

"Why have they come with such fierce aura?!"

"Could it be......"

Indeed!

The two had already sensed that the arrivals were precisely Jieyin, Zhunti, and Chen Ku.

Therefore, Di Jun Taiyi's hearts were greatly shaken, their faces showing undisguisable unease.

Dazed!

Completely dazed!

Three saint-level beings have descended—what exactly do they intend to do?!

Moreover, Di Jun Taiyi also clearly sensed that Jieyin and the three were all exuding fierce aura, their pressure overwhelming.

Their previous displeasure vanished completely, replaced only by deep terror.

Di Jun was the first to react.

"Not good!"

"Quickly set up the formation, seal off the area where our Demon Race beings are drilling the great array!"

"Must not let Chen Ku and the others see it!"

Di Jun had not forgotten.

Back then, Chen Ku had, by his own power, forcibly broken through the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array and remained unharmed.

This time, after the array's strengthening, if the Western trio were to witness it again, they would again lose its due deterrent power.

Upon Di Jun's command, countless Demon Race beings immediately responded, hiding the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array.

In this brief moment, Jieyin and the three drew even closer to the position of Di Jun Taiyi and the others.

Taiyi's face sank like water, his eyes cold and severe.

"Hmph, even if they are saints, they cannot so bully others!"

"Do they really take our Demon Court for a soft persimmon?!"

Taiyi could not help but utter this low, angry shout.

One must know that Chen Ku and the three pursued the false Zhunti by relying on the guidance within the Time Scroll.

Or rather, it was merely the scene from before.

In other words, in Di Jun Taiyi's perception, there were only Jieyin and the other two, with no other figures or auras present.

Therefore, Taiyi naturally assumed that Chen Ku and the other two had come targeting his demon court!

Initially, countless living beings had already perished at Chen Ku's hands.

What else does he want to do?!

Thinking of this, how could Taiyi not be furious?!

As he spoke, the Chaos Bell appeared above Taiyi's head, ringing incessantly.

The Chaos Bell's primordial yellow radiance rose, and five-colored rays burst forth, misty and vast, magnificent beyond compare.

The bell's sound was mighty, the universe blazing, heaven and earth losing color, Qiankun trembling!

On the side, Di Jun similarly summoned the Hetu Luoshu, which descended with celestial light filling the sky.

Both adopted a vigilant, defensive posture.

Of course, they were not intending to actively wage war against the sages.

But... if Chen Ku and the other two truly came targeting them, then only by donning a supreme treasure could they possibly defend themselves.

Just as the two appeared in this state of facing a great enemy.

At that moment, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Chen Ku finally appeared in Di Jun Taiyi's field of vision.

"Venerable sages..."

"The past matters have already been settled."

"Today, why do you again barge into the Star Sea, disturbing the tranquility of my demon court?!"

"Do you truly think we..."

Di Jun leapt forward without hesitation, blocking Chen Ku and the others' path.

At the same time, Di Jun raised his voice and shouted a question at the facing few.

Seeing this, Chen Ku furrowed his brow.

Are the Demon Race also here?!

But... I'm currently busy tracking down that false Zhunti, so I have no mind to bother with Di Jun and the others!

Seeing Di Jun block the way ahead, obstructing his path.

Chen Ku also showed no courtesy.

"Noisy!"

"Get out of the way quickly, today's matter has nothing to do with you!"

As he spoke, Chen Ku's figure did not pause, and he directly struck out with a palm.

This palm seemed casual, light and breezy.

Yet it contained the overwhelming power of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

Only seeing the palm's path, the void shattered inch by inch, completely sinking into oblivion.

In the flash of lightning and flint, this palm directly struck Di Jun's chest.

Boom!

The latter's body shuddered violently, then, like a kite with its string cut, he suddenly flew backward, spitting blood profusely, utterly embarrassed and miserable.

Witnessing this, Taiyi was greatly startled and lost color.

"Chen Ku, you dare..."

He hastily stepped forward, supporting Di Jun's body.

Then, he instinctively looked toward Chen Ku and the others' direction and shouted angrily.

But before he could finish his words, he saw Chen Ku and the other two's figures like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, they had completely vanished into the Star Sea.

Seeing this, Di Jun Taiyi was instantly dumbfounded.

What's going on?!

Chen Ku's earlier words were not false.

They indeed were not coming for the demon court, merely passing by?!

Taiyi stared blankly, unable to react to this result for a moment.

While Di Jun's face sank like water, furious and embarrassed.

Damn it!

Losing face!

Losing face, hey!

Isn't this me actively seeking a beating?!

If I had known Chen Ku and the other two were merely passing by, I only needed to play deaf and dumb, ignore them, and it would have been fine, right?!

Now this "unjust disaster" of a palm strike truly is self-inflicted suffering.

For a moment, Di Jun wanted to cry but had no tears.

As for how Di Jun Taiyi is, we'll set that aside for now.

On another side.

Following the traces in the scroll of time, Chen Ku and Zhunti continued their relentless pursuit.

Not long after, the three departed the Star Sea and reappeared in the primordial world.

According to the scroll of time's record, that figure had also indeed fled into the midst of heaven and earth.

Moreover, its speed was extremely fast, heading toward the western heaven and earth.

This made Zhunti's heart surge greatly.

Could it be that the fake Zhunti is also a powerful figure from the West?!

With this doubt in mind, the three continued without pause, pursuing at extreme speed.

However, just as they were searching near Kunlun Mountain.

Chen Ku suddenly halted his movement.

"Huh?!"

"It's right here!"

At this moment, the scene in the Time Scroll underwent another change.

Only to see that the fake Zhunti's figure, upon entering Kunlun Mountain, completely vanished in an instant.

No!

More precisely, his form was obliterated, transforming instead into a strange, mystical cloud that dissipated into nothingness.

Seeing this, the three were stunned, utterly bewildered.

"Eh?!"

"Could it actually be a cloud taking the form of this seat?!"

Zhunti muttered doubtfully to himself.

This was beyond their expectations.

After all, in their expectations, it must have been another powerful figure impersonating Zhunti.

Jieyin looked at Chen Ku with some anticipation.

"Disciple, can you still lock onto it using the law of time?"

"Investigate the nature of that cloud?!"

In response, Chen Ku merely shook his head and replied in a deep voice:

"Impossible!"

"The Time Scroll shows no further changes."

"That cloud... seems capable of evading the law of time's lock."

Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti's faces showed a hint of disappointment.

So, the trail ends here completely?!

They also cannot possibly continue the investigation.

Although the Time Scroll is now largely useless.

But immediately afterward, Zhunti's eyes narrowed as he gazed into Kunlun Mountain.

"Why... precisely this Kunlun Mountain?!"

A single sentence awakened the dreamer.

Jieyin's expression shifted greatly, also understanding Zhunti's implied meaning.

"Could it be... that this is the doing of the Three Pure Ones?!"

"As for that cloud, is it merely a deception?!"

Exactly!

The two immediately formed this speculation.

Or rather, anyone in their position would likely think the same.

After all, Kunlun Mountain is the cultivation ground of the Three Pure Ones.

Why did the fake Zhunti neither favor nor avoid, but happen to vanish precisely here?!

If it has nothing to do with the Three Pure Ones, even ghosts wouldn't believe it.

Moreover, the more Jieyin and Zhunti pondered, the more they felt this was highly plausible.

"The Three Pure Ones are also saints; impersonating this seat, possessing such power, they would have no scruples."

"Furthermore, when discussing the Dao, the Three Pure Ones were originally inferior to my Buddhist sect."

"Moreover, when the demon race slaughtered humans, Chen Ku's junior uncle overwhelmed the Three Pure Ones and even exiled Tongtian..."

Jieyin and Zhunti recalled past events.

Having sufficient power to impersonate a saint!

And beings of equal rank need not fear being settled by Jieyin and Zhunti.

Furthermore, given that the Three Pure Ones lost face initially and intentionally targeted and framed the Buddhist sect, this also makes sense.

In just a few words, the two had already concluded this must be the work of the Three Pure Ones.

As for Chen Ku.

Listening to Jieyin and Zhunti's words, he remained silent, saying nothing in response.

The Three Pure Ones being responsible... does make sense.

However, deep down, Chen Ku still harbored some doubts about this.

At this moment, Zhunti suppressed the anger in his chest.

"Hmph, this seat demands an answer."

"We are fellow saints; why must the Three Pure Ones, my elder brother in cultivation, commit such vile and despicable acts?"

Zhunti made a move to directly enter Kunlun Mountain to meet the Three Pure Ones.

Fellow saints, judging by strength, the hierarchy is proper and justified.

But to act by impersonating oneself in this manner is truly disgraceful.

It's no wonder Zhunti is so furious, his blood rushing to his head.

Seeing this, Chen Ku hastily spoke up:

"Martial uncle, don't act rashly!"

He stepped forward and blocked the furious Zhunti.

Upon hearing this, Zhunti was stunned for a moment, then said somewhat displeased:

"Why do you block me, nephew?"

"Are we afraid of the Three Pure Ones?"

Zhunti looked utterly bewildered.

In his view, Chen Ku was the last person who should fear the Three Pure Ones.

His heaven-defying combat power could easily shatter the Executioner's Sword Formation and directly withstand the might of the Three Pure Ones.

So why not let himself inquire clearly now?

Chen Ku gave a helpless smile and replied:

"Martial uncle, although our earlier speculation could be reasoned, in the end it remains mere conjecture."

"Without any evidence to support it, we should refrain from hasty judgment."

"Moreover, even if you directly confront the Three Pure Ones, uncle, would they even admit it?"

"Doing so would only alert the enemy, perhaps making it even harder to uncover the truth."

Chen Ku's words were logical and well-founded.

Even Zhunti, who had been fuming with anger, could not help but calm down somewhat and ponder carefully.

This... directly questioning the Three Pure Ones is indeed a rather rash choice.

Beside him, Jieyin also spoke up.

"What the disciple says is correct!"

"Zhunti martial brother, we should continue investigating this matter discreetly."

"If it truly is the doing of the Three Pure Ones, we must also gather sufficient evidence to leave them no room for evasion or denial."

Although in Jieyin's view, the likelihood of this being the Three Pure Ones' doing is also extremely high.

However, both sides are of equal standing, or rather, both are saints.

If the Three Pure Ones feign ignorance and flatly deny, then we three can do little about it.

Therefore, he also does not agree with Zhunti directly going to question them.

Upon hearing Jieyin say this, Zhunti naturally had no desire to say more.

Only, that mass of cloud vapor had already dissipated and vanished.

Even if Chen Ku's time-reversal divine ability were stronger, it would now be beyond remedy.

The three stood there, looking at each other.

For a moment, they were all somewhat unsure how to continue the investigation.

While Chen Ku and the others were pondering.

In Kunlun Mountain.

The Three Pure Ones were originally meditating with closed eyes, forgetting self and object.

At a certain moment.

Laozi suddenly twitched his facial expression slightly, as if sensing something.

Then he slowly opened his eyes and gazed outward from Kunlun Mountain.

At a glance, Laozi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling greatly astonished.

"Jieyin, Zhunti, and that Chen Ku..."

"Why have they come to my Kunlun Mountain?!"

Laozi's puzzled muttering also awakened Yuanshi and Tongtian beside him.

Gazing intently, the latter also showed a look of surprise.

Evidently, the Three Pure Ones had not anticipated the arrival of Chen Ku and the others at all.
