326 Capturing Great Immortal Zhenyuan
[You were very surprised when you checked Great Immortal Zhenyuan’s cultivation.
You originally thought that Great Immortal Zhenyuan’s cultivation was at most at the 8th Protostar. After all, he wasn’t a top-notch figure. However, you did not expect that this person had already reached the level of the most powerful person in this world.
[On second thought, you gave a like for his steadiness.
[If even Great Immortal Zhenyuan was a 9th Protostar Heavenly Lord, then Tathagata and Goddess Nuwa, who appeared in this world, must be at the peak of the world.
[To successfully establish the Heavenly Court, destroying the Spirit Mountain would be extremely difficult.
[Although Great Immortal Zhenyuan’s cultivation was far beyond your expectation, you still walked to the Wuzhuang Temple’s gate without any fear.
[Three knocks on the gate resounded throughout the entire Wuzhuang Temple.
[Great Immortal Zhenyuan’s two Daoist children, Qingfeng and Mingyue, were stopped by Great Immortal Zhenyuan before they could open the gate.
“Tong’er, come back…”
[Great Immortal Zhenyuan was also surprised. There were only a few top powerhouses in this world, and everyone knew who they were.
[How could Great Immortal Zhenyuan not be confused when someone he had never seen before suddenly appeared out of nowhere?
[However, Great Immortal Zhenyuan, who was very confident in his cultivation, also flew to the gate and slowly opened it to face you.
“May I know what business fellow Daoist has with my temple?” Great Immortal Zhenyuan asked politely.
“I would like to ask fellow Daoist a few questions. I wonder if it’s convenient for you?” You returned the greeting.
[Great Immortal Zhenyuan thought for a while and agreed happily. Then, he invited you into the temple.
“Tong’er, go and get two ginseng fruits. Master has to entertain the guests,” Great Immortal Zhenyuan said to Qingfeng and Mingyue.
[Qingfeng and Mingyue left obediently, leaving you and Great Immortal Zhenyuan alone in the temple.
“Fellow Daoist, if you have something to say, you can just say it. If I know, I will definitely tell you…”
[Although Great Immortal Zhenyuan didn’t know where you were from, he still wanted to talk to you with the mentality of making friends.
[Everyone in the three realms knew that he only had three qualities—he was strong, ruthless, and had many friends.
[He could even become sworn brothers with a rising star like Sun Houzi without any regard for his face. What else couldn’t he do?
“Great immortal, you’re too polite. I’m here to discuss something with you. By the way, how many people in the three realms have cultivation levels like yours and mine?”
[You directly stated your purpose.
[After hearing this, Great Immortal Zhenyuan frowned slightly and thought for a moment, but he still answered truthfully, “There aren’t many in the three realms who are as strong as you and I are. From what I know, Buddha Tathagata of the Western Paradise, Goddess Nuwa of the Nuwa Palace, Heavenly Emperor Fuxi of the Fire Cloud Cave, and the Sect Masters of the three religions all have the same cultivation.”
[You nodded very calmly. Although there was one more person than what he had guessed, it wasn’t too far off.
[When you were about to continue, Great Immortal Zhenyuan said, “However, after the Apotheosis Tribulation, the Dao Ancestor took the Three Pure Ones away from the three realms and couldn’t return easily.
“Heavenly Emperor Fuxi has been in seclusion in the Fire Cloud Cave all year round. Only I, Buddha Tathagata, and Goddess Nuwa can walk in the three realms.”
‘The Dao Ancestor?’
[Only then did you suddenly remember that in the world with the Journey to the West as the background, there was a BUG, and that was the Dao Ancestor, Hongjun.
[Hongjun held the Jade Plate of Fate and turned into the Heavenly Dao. Hongjun was the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao was not Hongjun…
[According to your understanding, if the Three Pure Ones were all 9th Protostar Heavenly Lords, then Hongjun must be the World Will…
“This is difficult…”
[You were immediately at a loss. If you wanted to break and then rebuild, it would not be difficult to deal with Tathagata and Nuwa, but the main thing was that you were afraid of the World Will taking action.
“Fellow Daoist? What’s difficult?” Great Immortal Zhenyuan asked in a low voice when he saw your ugly expression.
[You didn’t try to hide it and said directly, “Fellow Daoist Great Immortal Zhenyuan, if I want to destroy the Heavenly Court, annihilate Spirit Mountain, and establish the three realms, do you think the Dao Ancestor will interfere?”
[Great Immortal Zhenyuan was so shocked that he stood up, and his face turned ugly.
“Nonsense! How can the Heavenly Court be destroyed so easily? You even want to destroy Spirit Mountain and establish the three realms from scratch. Have you cultivated to the point of insanity, fellow Daoist?”
[Your eyes were clear as you looked at Great Immortal Zhenyuan very calmly without saying a word.
[Great Immortal Zhenyuan suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, “Are you from the outer realm?”
[You calmly nodded and then slowly stood up and said, “I’ve long heard that Great Immortal Zhenyuan has unrivaled cultivation and that the great divine power of the world in the sleeve can store everything. I wonder if Great Immortal Zhenyuan can give me a lesson or two today?”
[As you spoke, you waved your hand and produced 24 Sea-Pacifying Pearls, which floated in front of you.
“What is this? Zhao Gongming’s Sea-Pacifying Pearls?”
[Great Immortal Zhenyuan obviously knew what was good, but his expression also froze for a moment.
“That’s not right. Zhao Gongming’s Sea-Pacifying Pearls don’t have such power. These have far surpassed my Netherworld Tome. Who are you?”
[Great Immortal Zhenyuan seemed to have thought of something. His figure disappeared in an instant, and he wanted to leave Wuzhuang Temple.
[However, you were well prepared, so how could you let him escape so easily?
[The 24 Sea-Pacifying Pearls flew out instantly and formed a connate formation in the air. Great Immortal Zhenyuan’s figure emerged in the formation, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not get out.
“Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan, I’ve come with sincerity. If you come with me, you’ll be the head of the number one faction in the world. I’ll imprison you here if you don’t want to join me. When I succeed in the attack, I’ll send you into the reincarnation cycle.”
[Your tone wasn’t polite at all. You finally realized that it was very difficult to persuade the natives.
[Only people like Yang Jian and Nezha, who were born rebellious, could be persuaded by you.
[Since the soft approach didn’t work, you naturally had to use the hard approach.
[Great Immortal Zhenyuan’s expression was very ugly.
[No matter what methods he used, he could not break through the formation. He could not even send out a message.
[Even though he had used his connate cardinal treasure, the Netherworld Tome, it was useless.
[Your Sea-Pacifying Pearls were still a few grades higher than the connate cardinal treasures of an Intermediate World.
“I, Great Immortal Zhenyuan, will never associate with an evil demon like you!” Great Immortal Zhenyuan said firmly.
[Your face was full of smiles. You couldn’t say that Great Immortal Zhenyuan was sanctimonious, but he had the character of a righteous person.
“Alright, I’ll imprison you for now. I’ll come back to ask you when the day of the siege comes.”
[You didn’t do anything to Great Immortal Zhenyuan either. People like him were not likable, but they were still worthy of respect.
[There was no good or evil in a world war, only victory and defeat.]
