Without Nine Underworldsâ Abyss of Devilish Seawater, there was no way to overcome the Earthly Yin Yang Apricot Bannerâs defense under normal circumstances. After all, even Mahamayuri had a headache against this defensive treasure.
Uncle Jiang shouldnât face any problem unless Dao Realm bigwig was involved.
However, if Dao Realm bigwig did participate, there was no way Uncle Jiang could have fled.
Not everyone could escape after being hunted by a Dao Ancestor like Great Sage Equalling Heavens, Yang Jian, and Kong Xuan.
Even a proud figure like Ne Zha couldnât be certain in achieving this feat.
But if it wasnât for a certain Dao Ancestor, who would have the confidence to break the Earthly Yin Yang Apricot Banner?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ne Zha was puzzled at the moment, while Yan Zhaoge came into deep thoughts and fell into silence.
âHave you thought of something?â Seeing Zhaogeâs state, Ne Zha couldnât help but ask.
âProbably...â Yan Zhaoge showed a complicated expression, âSomeone may be able to do that, but there is no proof to it. We need to check on the Earthly Yin Yang Apricot Banner to be sure.â
âSun Wukong was not born when Master Jiang and Earthly Yin Yang Apricot Banner disappeared.â Ne Zha frowned, âKong Xuan canât do anything with the Earthly Yin Yang Apricot Banner. So, are you thinking of the Heavenly Lord Emperor?â
The person he spoke of was naturally the Emperor of Heavenly Courtâs Divine Palace in the past, Jade Eminent Heavenly Lord Emperor. He had the reputation of being the most powerful Grand Heavenly Realm in the past and the top person under the Dao Realm.
Under the Dao Realm, if anyone could break the Earthly Yin Yang Apricot Bannerâs defenses with his art, then the Jade Eminent Heavenly Lord Emperor would undoubtedly be a strong candidate.
It was proven that Kong Xuan couldnât do anything to the Earthly Yin Yang Apricot Banner, but the Jade Eminent Heavenly Lord Emperor and the Great Sage Equalling Heavens had never had a similar experience. So until today, there was still a lot of uncertainty in this regard.
âIn the early years of the Middle era, the Three Clear Lineageâs Patriarch had already Transcended. Heavenly Courtâs Divine Palace was just set. It was the time for Daoism to stabilize itself. There was no reason for the Jade Eminent Heavenly Lord Emperor to do that.â Yan Zhaoge touched his chin, âIâm thinking of another person... Um, in fact, youâre quite close to that person, Daoist Brother.â
âItâs just that you are familiar with him in the ancient eras, but you should have never interacted with him in the Middle era.â
Hearing what Yan Zhaoge said, Ne Zha was stunned.
At the next moment, he gradually understood. Then, his expression became complicated, just like Yan Zhaoge, âFellow Daoist Yan, arenât you thinking Lord of Plentiful Treasure from the Prime Clear Lineage?â
âI do think he is the most likely culprit.â Yan Zhaoge spread his hands and sighed, âMaster Red Essence has perished under the Lord of Plentiful Treasureâs sword.â
Lord of Plentiful Treasure was the Lord of Prime Clear Numinous Treasureâs first disciple in the past, and there were several top sword experts in the history of Daoism.
After the end of the ancient eras and the transcendence of the Lord of Numinous Treasure, the Lord of Plentiful Treasure inherited the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture.
The already excellent Lord of Plentiful Treasure had thus successfully ascended to the next level.
It was just that after entering the Middle era, he rarely appeared in the world and rarely made a move in front of everyone. Unfortunately, he perished early because of the Devil Ancestor Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil. Hence, although the Lord of Plentiful Treasure was known to be superb after completing Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture, no one could determine how strong he was.
Only the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil would know how strong he was.
The rest could only guess with limited clues.
Even though the Lord of Plentiful Treasure had perished in the hands of the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil, he wasnât captured or killed on the spot, escaping from the formidable pursuit. He then perished later due to fatal injuries. No matter what happened, this achievement put Lord of Plentiful Treasure at the highest rank among the Grand Heavenly Realm.
Although Yan Zhaoge couldnât be sure of the specific level of Lord of Plentiful Treasure, he knew Yu Ye, who cultivated Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture after the fall of Lord of Plentiful Treasure. She was able to set up an incomplete Immortal Extermination Formation by herself.
Yu Ye deduced that the Lord of Plentiful Treasure, who was already the leading figure among Grand Heavenly Realms, should be even more powerful after completing the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture. His strength was even more devastating to the world.
A fair comparison would be hard to make. However, judging from the offensive alone, Lord of Plentiful Treasure should be at the top level under Dao Realm in history.
Chaos Extinguishing Imperious Annihilation specialized in attacking and destroying. So it was hard to say whether Earthly Yin Yang Apricot Banner could resist it.
Compared with the Jade Eminent Heavenly Lord Emperor, the Lord of Plentiful Treasure had motives against those in the Jade Clear Lineage.
Yan Zhaoge and Ne Zha looked at each other awkwardly.
That was particularly true for Ne Zha. He sighed after a brief pause, âAccording to what you said, the Lord of Plentiful Treasure has already perished. So even if he were involved, it would be a loose account to settle.â
As one of the leading figures in the third generation of Jade Clear Lineage, Ne Zha made his name in the Investiture of the Gods battle in ancient eras.
The grievances between him and the Prime Clear Lineage were innumerable.
After the Investiture of the Gods, he didnât have a good relationship with the Prime Clear Lineage because of his personality.
He could not get along well with the Golden Spirit Mother, Wen Zhong, Lu Yue, Yin Jiao, Li Xingba, and others who were on duty in Heavenly Courtâs Divine Palace.
But in a Great Calamity, countless Daoism powerhouses perished. Many outstanding achievements were turned into dust, and even Ne Zha himself barely survived the calamity.
Daoism Three Clear Lineage threw away the old hatred, and it was time to work together and revitalize Daoism.
Although the relationship between Ne Zha and Taiyi Cultivated Deity with Incongruence Divine Mother and Cloudy Firmament Fairy was still somewhat awkward, it was undoubtedly much more amiable than before the Great Calamity.
This time, Cloudy Firmament Fairyâs deterrence to Buddhism played a significant role in Ne Zhaâs duel with Archaic Dipankara Buddha at Western Pure Lands. With the Immortal Extermination Formation, she reached a tacit understanding with Amitabha to avoid a full-blown war.
Looking back at the various things that happened in the past and looking at the current situation, Yan Zhaoge and Ne Zha sighed.
âLetâs get the Earthly Yin Yang Apricot Banner first. By the way, letâs see if your guess is right or wrong, whether Uncle Jiang died because of the Lord of Plentiful Treasure,â said Ne Zha.
The two darted in the void.
The space in front of Ne Zha was distorted into a ball. Given his Grand Heavenly Realm, he shouldnât move at will since the fighting here had already gotten intense.
...
Among the blossoming white lotus in a Buddhist kingdom within the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, the enormous lotus in the center was in full bloom at this time.
With the opening of the lotus petals, bursts of fragrance spread from it. There was a dazzling Buddha light flashing.
The Buddha light condensed into a bunch of sword-light, soaring into the sky, directly piercing the Land of Buddhism.
From the outside world, another white lotus descended to this Buddhist kingdom. A Buddha sat on the lotus and congratulated, âCongratulations, brother, for concluding the seclusion.â
At the source of the sword-light, there sat a young man in a monkâs robe but with long black and smooth hair.
It was the Blessed Lands of the White Lotusâs heretic at Grand Heavenly Realm, Sword Master of the Six Paths, Qu Su.
Qu Su nodded and thanked Buddha, who came to congratulate him, then stood up from the white lotus.
âWhere do you want to go?â The Buddha asked.
âI want to pay a visit to Daoismâs universe.â Qu Su replied casually.
