The Primordial Clan!
When the purple-robed woman mentioned this clan, a meaningful glint flashed in her eyes.
At that moment, she suddenly turned her head. Not far away, three figures approached!
The leader was none other than Wubian Zhu!
Behind him were Seng Wu and Shenming.
Looking at Wubian Zhu, the purple-robed woman smiled. “Wubian, long time no see!”
Wubian replied calmly, “Jiang Taiyou, I didn’t expect you to come in person!”
Jiang Taiyou chuckled lightly. “Wubian, you’re not the same as before! The old you wasn’t so… timid. I hope you don’t mind me using that word?”
Wubian shrugged. “If you’re not timid, why haven’t you gone to take down that Backing King?”
Jiang Taiyou’s smile faded.
Wubian gave a faint smile and continued, “Jiang Taiyou, I must say, sometimes I think you’re truly naive! You actually believe you can claim the Land of Guixu… What are you thinking?”
Jiang Taiyou smiled lightly. “Wubian, as far as I know, after your failure back then, you’ve been drifting around aimlessly. What, planning to drift for life?”
Wubian was about to respond when Jiang Taiyou cut in, “You know the secrets of the heavens and that the future belongs to the Backing King. But you have your pride. You don’t want to rely on him. You’re looking for other opportunities to achieve your goal. Unfortunately… you have no other opportunities! Because if you don’t align with the Backing King, you’ll never rescue anyone from the Land of Guixu! And even if you did, the karmic consequences would be more than you could bear!”
She chuckled softly. “Wubian, you may not have noticed, but you’ve already started compromising with fate. The you now lacks the boldness and ambition of the past. Now you’re low-key, timid, cautious! Sure, it’s safe—you know the heavens’ secrets and can easily avoid disasters. But what’s the point of such a life?”
Wubian glanced at Jiang Taiyou. “I wish you success!”
Jiang Taiyou smiled. “Whether I succeed or not, I don’t know. But I know I’m going to fight for it!”
With that, she turned to leave.
After a few steps, she paused, as if remembering something, and said, “You left abruptly back then because you knew you could never take what you wanted from the Land of Guixu!”
She turned to look at Wubian with a smile. “Back then, the only one who could stop us was the Master of the Great Dao Pen, and his true body could never return. In other words, if you and I had worked together, we could have both gotten what we wanted!”
Wubian stared at Jiang Taiyou. “And then?”
He chuckled lightly. “And then you think you could overthrow the Master of the Great Dao Pen’s order? You think the Land of Guixu represents his order? How naive! I know you want to revive some ancient gods in the Land of Guixu, but do you think reviving them would let you challenge the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Jiang Taiyou smiled. “You don’t know me, and I don’t know you! Let’s each walk our own path and see who reaches the end!”
With that, she vanished into the starry sky.
Wubian Zhu gazed after her in silence.
He knew Jiang Taiyou must have a backup plan!
Defying the Master of the Great Dao Pen?
Wubian Zhu slowly closed his eyes!
So far, only one person could fearlessly face the Master of the Great Dao Pen!
The Backing King, Ye Xuan!
Seng Wu suddenly said gravely, “Wubian, if you want to rescue someone from the Land of Guixu, we could ask Young Master Ye… He’s pretty easy to talk to!”
Wubian gave a faint smile. “You’re oversimplifying things! Even he can’t bring anyone out of the Land of Guixu right now. And even if he could, I wouldn’t ask him!”
Seng Wu hesitated, wanting to say more.
Shenming suddenly said, “Didn’t the Master of the Great Dao Pen let Young Master Ye bring out a life imprint?”
Wubian looked into the starry depths and said softly, “That was him setting a trap for the Backing King!”
Shenming hesitated, then said, “Isn’t that abusing his power?”
Wubian glanced at Shenming. “He created the order and the law. Do you think he’s abusing his power?”
Shenming said gravely, “That little girl is…?”
Wubian said softly, “The Primordial Clan… a very, very ancient clan…”
Shenming asked, “Is Young Master Ye in danger, being schemed against?”
Wubian turned to Shenming. “Are you worried about the Backing King?”
Shenming’s expression froze.
Wubian said softly, “Jiang Taiyou’s ‘borrowing a knife to kill’ doesn’t mean using the Primordial Clan to kill the Backing King. It means using the Backing King to destroy the Primordial Clan! Understand?”
Shenming nodded slightly. “Got it!”
Wubian looked into the starry depths, a trace of confusion in his eyes!
The path ahead was growing harder!
Admittedly, sometimes he envied Ye Xuan!
No need to worry about anything, just keep moving forward!
Because others had already paved the way for him!
Moments later, Wubian Zhu shook his head with a smile. “Everyone curses the Backing King, yet everyone wants to be the Backing King!”
With that, he turned and left!
Shenming turned to Seng Wu. “Do you want to be the Backing King?”
Seng Wu hesitated, then said, “No!”
Shenming was puzzled. “Why not?”
Seng Wu put his hands together. “I don’t have a sister!”
With that, he walked off into the distance!
Shenming was silent for a moment, then said, “I do have a sister, but…”
He sighed, shaking his head. “No comparison, no pain!”
With that, he followed.
…
Deep in the boundless starry sky, Ye Xuan rode his sword!
He’d shuttled through countless cosmic star domains with Ye Qianqian, yet they still hadn’t arrived!
Ye Xuan was somewhat helpless!
Where exactly did this little girl want to go?
At that moment, he suddenly looked into the distance. In the starry sky not far away, a massive stone tablet floated, surrounded by a crowd!
After traveling so long, this was the first time Ye Xuan had seen cultivators!
He decided to check it out. Approaching the tablet, he saw it was a hundred zhang tall, engraved with two large characters: Martial Tablet!
Ye Xuan glanced at a man beside him and asked, “Brother, what’s this?”
Hearing Ye Xuan, the man sized him up and smiled. “You don’t know?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Yeah, just arrived!”
The man smiled faintly. “This is the Martial Tablet!”
Ye Xuan looked at him. “Martial Tablet?”
The man explained, “Yes! This Martial Tablet is no ordinary thing. It contains the legendary Great Dao Scripture!”
Great Dao Scripture!
Ye Xuan’s face darkened instantly!
Damn it!
Was the Great Dao Scripture so common now?
He really wanted to kill the Master of the Great Dao Pen. That guy was no good!
The man continued, “Do you know about the Great Dao Scripture?”
Ye Xuan looked at him. The man smiled. “It was left by the Master of the Great Dao Pen. Cultivating it makes progress twice as fast with half the effort! In the black market, it costs at least ten billion Dao Crystals to buy, but here, if you’re lucky, you can get it!”
Ten billion Dao Crystals!
Ye Xuan fell silent!
Damn it!
He felt insulted!
Damn!
At that moment, someone in the crowd exclaimed, “It’s the Ji family’s eldest miss!”
Everyone turned to look. Not far away, a woman approached slowly. She wore a simple emerald-green embroidered dress, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, her features delicate and strikingly beautiful!
But her expression was cold, with a hint of arrogance, giving off an unapproachable vibe!
She walked slowly to the tablet, placing her right hand gently on it. Soon, the tablet trembled slightly.
Seeing this, the crowd was shocked, but their shock quickly turned to envy!
Under their gazes, the tablet released a beam of white light. Within it, an old man emerged slowly!
Seeing him, the woman quickly bowed slightly. “Elder!”
The old man sized her up, then nodded slightly. “Heavenly Spirit Body… barely acceptable!”
The woman was overjoyed.
At that moment, the old man suddenly turned to Ye Xuan. Seeing him, he paused!
Ye Xuan chuckled lightly. “I’ve kept a low profile! Didn’t expect to be noticed! As the old saying goes, gold will always shine…”
But then, the old man’s gaze fell on Ye Qianqian behind Ye Xuan. Seeing her, he froze, then exclaimed in ecstasy, “This… this is the legendary Primordial Divine Body!”
Primordial Divine Body!
The crowd froze, eyes filled with disbelief!
Primordial Divine Body!
The unparalleled, peerless divine physique!
Historically, this terrifying physique had appeared only once, in the ancestor of the Primordial Clan. And who was that ancestor? A supreme powerhouse who dominated countless eras!
After founding the Primordial Clan, it remained the top clan in the Primordial Universe. Even the Dao Sect of the Primordial Universe had to defer to them!
Frankly, in the Primordial Universe, even the Master of the Great Dao Pen had to give this clan face!
The Primordial Clan’s fearsome reputation stemmed entirely from their ancestor’s terrifying strength. And now, another Primordial Divine Body had appeared?
The old man flew to Ye Xuan and Ye Qianqian, staring at the two golden glints in her eyes, trembling. “These are the Primordial Eyes… This is truly the Primordial Divine Body, heavens…”
He quickly crushed a transmission talisman.
Calling for backup!
Ye Qianqian glanced at the old man, seemingly scared, and hid behind Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan looked at the near-frenzied elder and hesitated before saying, “Why don’t you take a look at me? I think I’m pretty good too!”
The old man glanced at Ye Xuan. “Dao Body… third-rate physique…”
He turned back to Ye Qianqian, his gaze burning.
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then drew his Qingxuan Sword and pointed it at the old man. “You’re being really rude!”
Little Tower suddenly said, “Young Master’s getting anxious!”
