Great Daoist Master Xuan Du's refinement of the Nine Underworlds had reached a critical moment.
However, at this moment, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du's efforts had all gone to the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du.
All the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor needed to do was to build on the foundation of the other party.
The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du wanted to retaliate, but there was nothing he could do.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that the Thunder Net derived from the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi had already connected the remaining Nine Nether Devilish Domain with the Taiji Painting, which made Great Master Xuan Du unable to give up and disperse the Taiji Painting even if he wanted to.
He himself was also sucked into the Taiji Diagram and tied to the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's war chariot.
Unfortunately, he was not the one riding the cart, but the one pushing it.
Not only the people of Taoism, even the Buddhas of the Pure Land and the Great Sages of the Demon Race were shocked.
Someone subconsciously looked towards Old Lord Taishang who was inside the Twelve Citadel Heavenly Demon Formation.
Regardless of whether he could be distracted and pay attention to that side, his sudden movements could not be hidden from the Dao Ancestors in the sea of blood.
However, the Grand Supreme Elder ignored it in the sea of blood. He did not even glance at the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du.
Seeing this, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor heaved a final sigh of relief. Regardless of whether the Elder Lord was paying attention to them or not, he still bowed towards the Elder Lord in the Blood Sea.
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du's expression was extremely solemn. He tried to reverse the ritual, but it was in vain.
"Senior Brother South Pole, you …" Perfected Taiyi looked at the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
The Southern Extremity Longevity Monarch's hands formed a series of hand seals that were constantly changing. Streaks of divine lightning continued to descend upon the Triratna Jade Scepter, continuously reinforcing it.
He nodded at Perfected Taiyi. "I'm not as stable as Junior Brother Xuan Du. I have the risk of someone ruining my Dao path, so I kept it a secret."
"I didn't mean to hide it. Please forgive me, fellow Daoists." The Southern Extremity Longevity Great Monarch looked around at the people of Daoism and slowly said, "In the battle of the Great Dao, there is no one who has no self. I have no choice but to fight for it today. Please lend me a hand."
After a moment of silence, Nezha continued to turn around and attack the ancient Dipankara Buddha.
Be it the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor or the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, they were both from the Dao Sect.
Regardless of which of them succeeded, the Daoist Path would gain a Daofather, and the Daoist Path would benefit as a whole.
Due to their previous history, the Three Clear lineages were now united as one. The Jade Clear, Grand Clear and Prime Clear lineages no longer cared so much about one's origins.
However, to Nezha, he was still more familiar with the Southern Extremity Immortal Weng from the Jade Clear lineage, and the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor from the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace.
However, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's secretive actions made Nezha very unhappy.
However, at this critical moment, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction.
Be it the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor or the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, they were both better than the Dipankara Ancient Buddha or Daolord Lu Ya.
Yang Jian frowned and didn't say anything. At this moment, Great Monarch Gouchen suddenly said, "Back then, you arranged for Jian Shunhua to secretly take away the Devil of Aged Metal's authority, but in the end, you made a move on the Doomsday Heavenly Demon. It was really your idea."
"Daoist Gouchen, your words are incorrect. It should be the Nine Underworlds who had secretly set it up to bewitch Jian Shunhua." The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor refused to admit to it. He turned his head and looked at Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng, "What happened to Daoist Feng after that were all unexpected variables."
Feng Yunsheng remained silent, while Yan Zhaoge looked towards the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
"Senior apprentice-brother Nie's entry into the Nine Underworlds was also related to you?" Yan Zhaoge asked another question.
"In the past, I fought against the Nine Underworlds, Buddhism, and the Demon Race together with Daoist Suo and Daoist Wudang. However, I couldn't separate myself from them." The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor smiled, "It's inconvenient for me to make too many movements. Otherwise, other Daoists might notice that I'm also interested in the Nine Underworlds."
"However, I do have some clues regarding this matter."
As he said that, he looked at the Great Daoist Xuan Du, "Back then, junior apprentice-brother Xuan Du had been there. As for what he did, I'm not sure."
As soon as he said that, Nie Jingshen and Yu Ye, who were within the crystal plate, trembled.
Yu Ye couldn't help but look towards the Great Daoist Xuan Du. Her pupils were filled with the image of chaos and extinction.
Regardless of whether the Great Daoist Xuan Du had done anything or not, if he had really been there, even if he didn't take the initiative to do anything, he would at least watch as Nie Jingshen and Yu Ye were hunted by Zhang Buxu because of the Chaos Extinguishing Origin Scripture.
Watch as He Mian betrayed the two of them.
Watch as they were forced into the Nine Underworlds, and Nie Jingshen was forced to transform into the Devil of Aged Metal in order to protect Yu Ye.
If that wasn't all, everything that was hidden in the dark was even more chilling.
If he didn't do anything, why would the Great Daoist Xuan Du, who had always been secluded within the Tushita Palace, make a trip there?
Was it just to personally witness the rebirth of the new Devil of Aged Metal?
The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor calmly looked at the Great Daoist Xuan Du. He held a jade slip in his hand and said, "Although I discovered some clues, I cleaned up the traces for junior apprentice-brother Xuan Du. In the end, I kept it a secret until now."
"Back then, I wasn't confident in attaining the Dao Realm, while junior apprentice-brother Xuan Du had more hope. For the sake of our unity, I kept it a secret. I feel guilty towards Nie Jingshen and Yu Ye."
As he said that, he touched the jade slip with his finger, and specks of radiant dust flew out.
The radiant dust floated, forming a faintly discernible image.
Within the image, it was the Land of Tranquil Stream at the border of the Nine Underworlds.
Within the devilish domain, dark-golden sword-lights gushed out. It was the moment when Nie Jingshen succumbed to the Devil.
Outside the Nine Underworlds, a stream of clear air floated far away.
Everyone present could recognize that it was of the Grand Clear lineage.
Within the clear air, the Great Daoist Xuan Du's Ten Supreme Crane Cover could be vaguely seen.
The image was a little blurry. This was because the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor didn't capture the information on the spot. Instead, he arrived there afterward and used a special secret technique to clean up the hidden traces.
Yan Zhaoge's pupils flickered with a jade-green radiance. With the Origin Heavenly Scripture's deduction, he confirmed the authenticity of the information in no time.
Yang Jian's third vertical eye opened. Divine radiance swept across the area, and he remained silent.
The Great Daoist Xuan Du didn't say anything.
After the North Star Emperor's initial sentence, he regained his calmness.
The Taiyi Cultivated Deity looked at Yan Zhaoge and the others worriedly.
The competition for the Dao had always been cruel and difficult.
For the Three Clear lineage, it was imperative to create another Dao Ancestor other than the Elder Lord at all costs.
It sounded cruel, but the situation was as such.
Only, as the person involved, it was undoubtedly a different feeling.
Nezha's attacks against the Dipankara Ancient Buddha slowed down. His expression was uneasy. His lips moved a few times, but no sound came out.
The entire place turned silent.
Although the battle between Daoism, Demons, and Buddhists was still intense, everyone remained silent.
Feng Yunsheng and Yu Ye looked at the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and the Great Daoist Xuan Du with complicated expressions.
If Daoism's lineage emerged victorious in today's Nine Underworlds Situation, the entire Daoism would benefit from the birth of a new Dao Ancestor.
After attaining the Dao Ancestor's position, it was already on a whole different level. There was no need to worry about the truth being exposed.
However, as the person involved in the events of the past, Feng Yunsheng and Yu Ye couldn't help but feel depressed.
Even if they won, they wouldn't feel satisfied.
"Southern Extremity Daoist, I'm impressed with your ability to conceal yourself." The Dipankara Ancient Buddha suddenly said, "However, it's still too early to say that victory is within your grasp."
He clasped his palms together, "Now that all the variables are gone, it's time."
