Chapter 219: From Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing

The Eight Trigrams Disc, Qingping Sword, and Flame Light Flag were immediately summoned forth.

Hearing Fu Xi, Taishang, and Master Master Yuchen chose defense without a moment's hesitation.

"Oh ho, you two Daoists are quite good at hiding!"

Above the River of Time and Space, Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing, incarnated as 【Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Wang】, held the Yu Xu Kai Tian Axe and instantly sensed Hearing Fu Xi and Nvwa's Da Luo Dao Guo.

Nvwa's Zao Hua Dao Guo shimmered brilliantly.

Hearing Fu Xi's Tian Ji Dao Guo flickered faintly.

"Hm? Indeed, there's also this Shǐ Qí Lín!" Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing gazed toward the direction of Mount Mount Buzhou Mountain—there too was the aura of an immortal Dao!

Usually, Shǐ Qí Lín hid within Mount Mount Buzhou Mountain, leveraging its power; Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing could never discern His true nature.

Now, under the lock of the Kai Tian Axe, Shǐ Qí Lín could no longer conceal Himself.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I knew you lot weren't trustworthy—not nearly as radiant and majestic as our Three Pure Ones."

"You've never been to the primordial dawn, have you? Let me help you with some 【Fu Zheng】!"

"Buy your ticket early, experience it ahead of time—no need to thank me."

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing gripped the Kai Tian Axe and swung it straight along the timeline.

Eternal, boundless radiance enveloped Du Guang Zhi Ye, Tai Su Dong Tian, Bi You Gong, Ba Jing Gong, and Mount Mount Buzhou Mountain.

These five deities, not yet having entered the Pre-Primordial, yet possessing Da Luo potential, were the first to experience 【Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Wang】's complimentary grand package.

Deities seated at home, while the axe descended from beyond the heavens!

A blade of axe-light slashed forth from Chaos, as if the entire spacetime was engulfed by a savage will; infinite slaughter condensed into a single strike, followed by a storm of blood and wind.

"Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Wang, I thank you!!" Hearing Fu Xi's face turned black—He had always been the one to darken others, but today He was forcibly darkened.

There was no dodging—only brute resistance.

"I should've never rushed to attain this Dao Guo," Hearing Fu Xi regretted; He should've cast a divination before attaining the Dao.

"Every time I make progress, I run into you—intentional, aren't you?"

Who's really the "guā xiū" here?!

"Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Wang? Taiwei Yuan Shi!"

"Hss, has this Taiwei Yuan Shi Daoist further refined His Dao?"

Nvwa was not angry, only astonished—she hadn't expected Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing to achieve yet another breakthrough.

"Brother Dao, you're chopping your own kind too!" Taishang and Master Master Yuchen were delighted yet vexed.

Delighted because Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing had broken through again.

Vexed because they too had to take the blows!

"Are you Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Wang or Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Mo?!"

At Mount Mount Buzhou Mountain, Shǐ Qí Lín looked utterly bewildered.

"I…"

How could I possibly be struck by Great Great Pangu's axe?!

Something's wrong here!!

Shǐ Qí Lín's sleeves billowed; twelve-colored divine light swirled, forming two divine hammers.

"DONG!!"

Simultaneously, before Xiao Xiao Qian Kun Dushi Xianren, a slash of axe-light appeared?

Xiao Xiao Qian Kun's eyes widened in shock.

"What's going on? He became Da Luo, but I haven't!"

"Why are you chopping me?!"

The Xiao Xiao Qian Kun Ding was instantly summoned; myriad Dao currents surged in all directions, boundless divine light crisscrossed up and down, illuminating all worlds, the great and small universes trembling in response.

"Fated connection? But also different—just what is Shǐ Qí Lín's origin? Is He truly a Chaos Demon God?"

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing was puzzled; He glanced toward Mount Mount Buzhou Mountain—the immortal aura emanated from the 【Di Taiwei Yuan Dao Guo】.

Not the 【Shen Cang Dao Guo】 He had predicted earlier.

"Let me see who else is left?" Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing gripped the Kai Tian Axe and, following instinct, continued probing through all worlds and spacetimes.

On the Boat of Transcending the World, Wuzhen Song, who had been fishing, pulled his neck in.

"Damn it, Great Great Pangu's axe!" The squirrel's soul nearly fled his body.

"Good, this one's nearly ready too."

In the Immortal Mountain, Shen Ni and Xiang Gu, just driven back by Nvwa, looked up in stunned alarm.

These two were also on the reserve team.

On the Tai Yin Shen Star, Wang Shu quietly withdrew her Tai Yin Shen Zhu Zhu Jian while admiring the scenery.

On the Tai Yang Shen Star, Tai Yi and his brother raised the Hun Dun Zhong.

These three, as expected.

In a certain star region, Zu Long awoke from his tender embrace: "Great Great Pangu's axe—here it comes again!!"

On Yu Jing Mountain, Yin Yang and Sanqing Dian Dao, disregarding dignity, cried out: "Old Dao, save me!"

In the Shan Hai Great Universe, Zhen Zhen Yuanzi, who had been traveling, twitched his mouth: "Did I break a heavenly law by writing recipes?!"

On Feng Huang Tai, Taiwei Yuan Huang was instructing young Fenghuang disciples in cultivation.

Under the earnest teachings of the Pre-Primordial Wu Tong Tree, Taiwei Yuan Huang finally stopped being a deadbeat boss.

Sensing 【Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Wang】's gaze, she grew alert, her phoenix eyes wide: "Even when I'm working hard, I get chopped?!"

At the peak of Yushan.

Yao Chi Jin Mu softly called: "Come!"

Two divine lights flew from Western Western Kunlun Xu and merged into Yao Chi's third eye.

Tai Su Jiu Xiao, the Twelve Divine Maidens.

There were always ten members.

The other two were non-fixed, but mostly were Yao Chi's incarnations.

They were called Twelve and Shen Nü.

"Meow!"

Lu Wu leapt onto Yao Chi's head.

In an instant, the Three Flowers converged at the crown, myriad phenomena swirled in mist.

Yao Chi's aura surged steadily upward, soon reaching its peak. "Immortal Dao Guo?" Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing's lips twitched—this one truly surprised Him.

It turned out Yao Chi's Three Flowers Converging at the Crown had become real.

"Transforming the false into the true, ruling the true self—this True Immortal is impressive!"

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing acknowledged Yao Chi's cultivation.

Then, He swung the axe!

"Complimentary gift!"

Upon hearing those four words, Yao Chi Jin Mu gritted her teeth: "I thank you!"

Ming He, Wu You, Hou Tu, Ying Long, Jie Yin, Zhun Ti, Kun Peng, Zhen Wu, Qing Long, Zhu Que… from Tiannandibei to boundless spacetimes, every deity who had touched the Da Luo threshold received 【Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Wang】's 【Fu Zheng】.

"Great Great Pangu's axe—I'll never say that phrase again!"

"So the Kai Tian Axe-light really can slash from the River of Time and Space—I'll never curse Great Great Pangu again!"

"I haven't even reached the Pre-Primordial yet? Has Great Great Pangu's service become this thoughtful now? Chopping straight down the chain of cause and effect!!"

"Kai Tian Axe? Did Great Great Pangu discover I smuggled myself in? No, He's dead, isn't He? And I didn't smuggle into Hong Huang Zhen Jie! Why chop me?!"

Each deity's reaction to the Kai Tian Axe-light spanning countless spacetimes differed.

Few could calculate the Giant Dao Xiang title.

Even fewer could precisely calculate Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing.

Most deities were stunned, then immediately 【Fu Zheng】ed by Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing.

It resembled the unfortunate Chaos Demon Gods of old.

And 【Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Wang】's appearance resembled Great Great Pangu of the Chaos Era.

Seeing those with karmic ties, He swung an axe—bestowing the gift of Dao.

Deities within and beyond Hong Huang all felt this was a dream—a nightmare.

"I'd rather not have this ticket to the Pre-Primordial and Chaos Era!"

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing's incarnation as 【Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian Wang】 truly terrified the deities.

This familiar Giant Dao Xiang, this familiar Kai Tian Axe-light—hard not to make the connection.

Is Great Great Pangu dead or alive?

This taboo question resurfaced in everyone's minds.

"Almost forgot these three!" Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing gazed at Hong Jun, Yang Mei, and Luo Hou!

He didn't spare these three either—each received a grand gift.

"Indeed, Old Dao, Great Great Pangu's axe-light still landed on you!" Yang Mei recalled the original "gift" Hong Jun had given Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing—a Kai Tian Axe-light!

Hong Jun felt a headache—blocking was no good, not blocking was worse.

In the end, He and Yang Mei both blocked.

Luo Hou did the same.

He smiled as He welcomed Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing's axe.

Their blocking this time let their aura slip.

"You're still just Tai Su Da Luo—you three really pulled off that act last time!"

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing rolled his eyes; these three were absolute drama kings—they had clearly reached the second stage of Da Luo, yet during the last Immortal-Demon War, they revealed not a single flaw.

If Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing hadn't used the unorthodox Opening Heaven Sword and awakened his Transformation into Heavenly Demon Great Art, the outcome of that final battle might have changed!

"Tai Su Da Luo, hmph!"

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing's current cultivation had also reached the Tai Su Da Luo stage.

And speaking of Tai Su, interestingly, Nv Wa had a disguise—apparently the 【Tai Su Goddess】.

This was unlikely a coincidence.

"Nv Wa cultivates Creation—the Way of Creating All Things. From this perspective, her path naturally aligns with Tai Ji Da Luo."

"So when Nv Wa, under the identity of 【Tai Su Goddess】, planned the Opening of Heaven, she likely already faintly sensed the later 'Tai Su Da Luo' stage—or perhaps she already had some understanding of the deeper cultivation of Da Luo."

"Using this honorific title carries the sense of preemptively claiming a position, reserving it in advance."

Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing suspected her situation leaned more toward the latter.

He hadn't interacted much with Nv Wa and didn't know her well.

But judging from the past behavior of that 'hanging cultivator' and the history of these two siblings colluding in deception, it seemed perfectly reasonable that Nv Wa had foreseen the deepening of the 'second stage' of Da Luo and preemptively seized and reserved her position.

After all, the sister of a 'hanging cultivator' is also a 'hanging cultivator'—that's only natural.

"If the method of Da Luo deepening is ever promoted throughout the myriad worlds, Nv Wa, who preemptively registered the 'Tai Su' trademark, might even get a share of the Great Dao's cosmic fortune."

"Whoever becomes Tai Su Da Luo must give a portion of their Great Dao achievements to 'Tai Su'?"

The more Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing deduced, the more plausible it seemed: "Tsk tsk tsk—no wonder they're in the 'Jie Dao' business; they can predict events before they happen and lay plans ahead of time."

Moreover, Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing had deduced another possibility.

"If Nv Wa could register her trademark in advance, then Fu Xi—this guy—probably has a similar honorific title."

"Which one? Tai Chu or Tai Yi?"

Following this line of thought, Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing continuously deduced information regarding Nv Wa and Fu Xi.

There was no choice—they were too good at hiding, and too ruthless. This was the perfect chance to probe their depths.

As Xiang Xiang Xiang Xuanqing slashed through enemies while deducing,

Fu Xi and Nv Wa were stunned.

The siblings' Taiwei Yuan Shen screamed warnings, proving that some being had been watching them all along.

Fu Xi immediately got a headache.

"We're all 'hanging cultivators'—why must 'hanging cultivators' torment 'hanging cultivators'!"
