Chapter 731: Chapter 750: 2 Saints Visit

Since entering the Earth Immortal Realm, Ye Xuan had continually encountered powerful enemies, but he had never forgotten the existence of the Primordial Spirit, and in his heart, he even regarded the Primordial Spirit as on par with Saints.

If a comparison had to be made between Saints and the Primordial Spirit, Ye Xuan was more wary of the latter.

For this being was unknown even to the Saints and was scheming a Heavenly Earth game, with even Saints being a part of his calculations.

Daring to scheme against Saints, such a person was undoubtedly terrifying and profoundly mysterious, which was precisely why Ye Xuan paid great attention to the Primordial Spirit.

Sigh!

A heavy breath once again escaped from Ye Xuan’s mouth; he waved away his troubled thoughts, and could only temporarily suppress the threat of the Primordial Spirit because outside, two Quasi-Saints were heading toward the Heavenly Court, an issue he must confront.

Having just been in the presence of the Hongmeng air, Ye Xuan had felt the power of a Saint, and he had seen both the Minghe Ancestor and the white-robed monk heading towards the Heavenly Court, evidently both after the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Although Ye Xuan had not met the Minghe Ancestor, the overwhelming blood energy that shook the Three Realms could belong only to him, and the white-robed monk, Ye Xuan guessed, must also be a Quasi-Saint from the Buddhist Sect, who dared to come to the Heavenly Court alone, clearly no ordinary person.

“Heavenly Emperor!”

Suddenly, a panicked voice from Gold Star Taibai came from outside the Dou Niu Palace, carrying an unstoppable tremble if one listened carefully.

“Please wait for me in the Turquoise Pool,” Ye Xuan said, knowing that the two Quasi-Saints had entered the Heavenly Court without needing Gold Star Taibai to report.

“Yes, Heavenly Emperor!”

Gold Star Taibai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly excused himself from outside the Dou Niu Palace.

…

In the Heavenly Court’s Turquoise Pool.

With thousands of auspicious energies and drifting auspicious clouds, Gold Star Taibai’s face was filled with a flattering smile as he stood in the Turquoise Pool watching the two Quasi-Saints, who sat cross-legged, silent and still, causing him a slight nervousness.

The Minghe Ancestor was surrounded by swirling blood light, with obscure waves of energy blossoming around him, bringing forth faint sounds of ghostly wails and divine howls. His hair was silvery-white, and he had a jade-like face, looking like a young man, but his blood-red eyes gave off an exceedingly sinister aura, far from being as simple as he appeared.

The white-robed monk sat in peace, his hands clasped in front of him, seated cross-legged, with a string of white jade Buddha beads twisting in his hands, as he recited Buddhist maxims under his breath.

The white-robed monk was an incarnation of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, this being one of his cultivated magical bodies. Although the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was in the Eighteen Layers of Hell, this magical body was no different from his real self.

“People say that the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is compassionate and seeks to save all evil beings in the world. Having sat in the Eighteen Layers of Hell for endless time, I never expected you to be so covetous of the Hongmeng Purple Qi,” the Minghe Ancestor sneered repeatedly, looking sideways at the white-robed monk with a shade of hostility in his eyes.

Both, being in the Underworld and being Quasi-Saints themselves, had often clashed with each other; the Minghe Ancestor harbored extreme hatred for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Adjacent to the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Eighteen Layers of Hell hosted the daily recitations of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, transforming lost souls, causing great suffering to his created Asura Clan. The two had clashed countless times, yet neither could gain an upper hand over the other.

“Amitabha Buddha!”

The white-robed monk chanted softly, casting a serene glance at the Minghe Ancestor. His voice was deep as he said, “The Hongmeng Purple Qi is a sacred artifact for becoming a Saint; Minghe, your malevolent energy is too strong; how could you possibly attain the position of a Saint?”

“Ridiculous!”

Suddenly, the Minghe Ancestor rose thunderously, the Yuan Tu Avici swords circling around him, with ghastly blood light bursting from his pores, his gaze at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva carrying an exceedingly icy murderous intent.

“If we speak of slaughter, who knows how many beings have died under the Four Immortal Slaying Swords? The Heavenly Sect Master’s killings are no less than mine; yet, isn’t he still recognized as a Saint?” Minghe Ancestor coldly rebuked.

“The Heavenly Sect Master is one of The Three Pure Ones, split from Pangu’s Primordial Spirit into three parts and inheriting the authentic lineage of Pangu, naturally bestowed with the power of the Heavenly Dao and designated as Heavenly Determined Saint. On the other hand, you, Minghe Ancestor, were born from the filth of the Netherworld Blood Sea. How can you compare yourself to the Heavenly Sect Master?” the monk in white robes responded indifferently.

“Ksitigarbha, are you not afraid that I will annihilate your magic body right here?”

Minghe Ancestor suddenly grew furious, a blood-red light flickering around him as his Yuan Tu and Avici swords hummed, seemingly ready to violently strike the monk in white robes and slay him on the spot.

“If you destroy my magic body, I shall enter the Netherworld Blood Sea and chant scriptures daily for your Asura Clan. If you do not believe, feel free to try,” the monk in white robes said calmly.

“Are you threatening me?”

Minghe Ancestor’s eyes chilled, and as he stepped forward, the entire Turquoise Pool trembled, a murderous aura surging to the sky, casting the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven in a sudden shadow of bloody light.

Alas, confronted with such an imposing force from Minghe Ancestor, the monk in white remained unaffected, continuing his low chant of Buddhist scriptures, effectively ignoring Minghe Ancestor.

“Send you on your way!”

Who is Minghe Ancestor?

He is among the peak of Quasi-Saints, a terrifying entity known as undying and indestructible below the level of Saints because his entity originates from the Netherworld Blood Sea, inherently standing on invincible ground.

Already the monk in white had violated his taboo and if he wasn’t suppressed right here, then he wouldn’t be the Minghe Ancestor.

Suddenly, at this critical moment, a calm voice came from outside the Turquoise Pool, causing Minghe Ancestor’s aura to hitch and the unreleased killing intent to dissipate.

“Both Daoist friends have come to the Heavenly Court, forgive my lack of earlier welcome.”

Ye Xuan, clad in black with his gray-white hair falling behind his head, strode into the Turquoise Pool until he came to a halt in front of the two Quasi-Saints.

“Ha ha.”

“In the past, Daoist Ye was but a Daluo Golden Immortal. When we truly met, Daoist Ye had already become a Quasi-Saint; this is indeed a joyous and praiseworthy matter,” Minghe Ancestor laughed out loud, his demeanor changing so quickly it was startling.

“Amitabha!”

The monk in white pressed his hands together and said, “Buddhist monk Ksitigarbha has seen Heavenly Emperor Ye.”

“Please, my Daoist friends, take your seats!”

Ye Xuan spoke soothingly, and the three of them took their seats together. With a gesture from Ye Xuan, Gold Star Taibai quietly withdrew from the area, leaving just the three of them.

Silence, eerily quiet.

As the three of them sat, the atmosphere subtly turned bizarre, creating a palpable tension.

“What brings my Daoist friends to the Heavenly Court this day?”

Ye Xuan broke the silence first, his face wearing a gentle smile as he looked at them both as though he truly was unaware of the purpose of these two Quasi-Saints coming to the Heavenly Court.

Watching Ye Xuan display a puzzled demeanor, Minghe Ancestor’s smile stiffened and then his eyes shifted slightly as he said, “Daoist Ye, let’s speak plainly. I have heard that the Hongmeng Purple Qi has appeared, and that it resides with you. Today, I have come hoping to gaze upon the Hongmeng Purple Qi.”

Meanwhile, the monk in white didn’t speak, but he too was looking towards Ye Xuan, evidently sharing the same intention as Minghe Ancestor, only less direct about it.
