(PS: Merry Christmas, everyone!)
Currently, in the World beyond Worlds, deep within the mountains where the eastern Vast Heaven Territory and the northeastern Sky Heaven Territory intersected, the heavens and earth were separated into two different worlds by a formless boundary.
To the south of the mountain range, the heavens and earth were all green as streams of clear qi soared into the sky.
A towering tree stood tall, its nine branches extending in all directions, extending into the void.
The dense leaves were clearly formed of numerous streaks of green lightning, flickering with dazzling radiance.
The vigorous vitality that nurtured the growth of all living beings and the terrifying power that destroyed all living beings appeared at the same time, filling the void.
To the north of the mountain range, the heavens and earth were all purple.
Other than thunderbolts, there was nothing else.
To the north of the mountain range, the heavens and earth were completely immersed in a sea of thunderbolts.
There was a figure on the trunk of the ancient tree in the south and the center of the sea of thunderbolts in the north.
Their bodies flickered with a seemingly everlasting radiance, resembling the numerous stars in the sky.
At this moment, the universe within their bodies perfectly fused with the universe outside their bodies, as if they were one.
The universe formed by the human body was like a real starry sky of the universe.
The clear qi and the purple thunder clashed unceasingly, extinguishing one after another. Very quickly, new ones were formed, and they were in a stalemate.
The purple thunder was more powerful, while the clear qi was reborn faster. Just based on the current stalemate, the two sides were evenly matched.
Instead, there seemed to be some similarities between the principles and concepts of the two great experts' powers.
A voice resounded from the sea of thunderbolts in the north, "You came here personally. Are you determined to exterminate all of us?"
The figure on the ancient tree in the south said indifferently, "If not for so many people secretly conniving, it wouldn't have dragged on until today."
"Not mentioning that we all come from the same source, just your thoughts and actions alone, are you going to betray Daoism?" A deep rumble resounded from the sea of thunderbolts, shaking the heavens and earth.
The figure on the ancient tree said indifferently, "How is that possible?"
The other party pressed on, "Then why are you so reluctant to give up? What is your purpose?"
The voice on the ancient tree said indifferently, "I just feel that the Earthly Sovereign's thoughts are correct, and I'm cooperating and implementing them."
The other party was silent for a moment before he said slowly, "The Earthly Sovereign has not expressed anything regarding this matter."
"Whether what that lass is doing is right or wrong in the long run, we are all clear!"
From the sea of lightning, a tall figure slowly walked out.
This figure had a jade belt around his waist and a purple crown on his head. He was a white-haired old man with a ferocious face and a purplish-red face.
With every step he took, it was as if a clap of thunder rang out in the world, causing the space around him to tremble.
The boundaries and environment of the World beyond Worlds were far firmer and more stable than those of ordinary lower worlds as they were hard to shake.
Being able to cause the environment of the world to be affected to such an obvious degree, the strength of this purple-crowned old man could be seen at a glance.
He stared at the nine ancient trees in the south and shouted in a deep voice, "Retreat! Although this is the border between the two territories, if one were to really calculate it carefully, it is the territory of my northeastern Sky Heaven Territory. "
The person on the ancient tree didn't seem to be affected at all. His tone was still indifferent. "Previously, you were just conniving or secretly helping her. Today, are you openly protecting this woman?"
The purple-crowned elder's expression did not change. "So what if I am? If you don't help your own people, are you going to help outsiders to deal with your own people? "
"If the other party gathers all the Heavenly Essence Stones, neither you nor I might be able to live peacefully. We are the beneficiaries in this matter. Instead of helping, you are going to bite back?"
As the purple-crowned elder said this, fury had already appeared on his face.
The figure on the ancient tree gradually became clear, revealing a middle-aged man with a scholarly appearance. He wore a green scholarly robe and had an elegant demeanor.
He said slowly, "Fortune lies within disaster, and disaster lurks within fortune. While this is correct in the long run, it could immediately bring about a great calamity within a short period of time."
"Without the present, what future is there to speak of?"
The middle-aged man in scholarly robes sighed, shaking his head.
That purple-crowned old man said coldly, "It is hard to have one's cake and eat it too. At this time, we can only rely on our hearts. Everyone has their own ideas. No one should force the other."
"This old man does not care about the matters of the younger generation. That will depend on that lass's own fortune. However, if you want to personally act, you will first have to ask if the sabre in this old man's hand agrees!"
While he did not draw his weapon, nor did he attack, the thunder light around the purple-crowned old man's body had already begun gradually transforming into numerous sabres that seemed capable of severing the heavens and the earth.
"It will not be easy for me to defeat you, but it will be even more difficult for you to defeat me. In a fight with me, you can only seek a draw at most."
The purple-crowned old man only condensed his sabre without unleashing it, but the nearby spacetime began to distort.
The middle-aged man in scholarly robes said calmly, "We are of the same origin but of different sects, so we know each other very well. In terms of actual combat, I am indeed slightly inferior to you. However, you have shown too much of your edge, which is actually not the proper way. If you want to break through a bottleneck, it will be hard for you to avoid having insufficient strength later on."
The purple-crowned old man said, "That's right. You are younger than this old man, but you have already reached the same height as this old man. However, if you want to boast, wait until you truly surpass this old man from behind."
The middle-aged man in scholarly robes nodded, "Alright, but let me give you a word of advice. You can protect her for now, but you cannot protect her forever."
"It is fine if you protect her this time. However, if she is left to protect you, the entire northeastern Sky Heaven Territory may suffer a great calamity."
Saying so, the middle-aged man in scholarly robes turned and left.
That ancient tree of nine branches that obscured the southern sky also gradually turned illusory, finally vanishing.
The purple-crowned old man said calmly, "There is no need for you to worry about what this old man will do next."
Even as the middle-aged man in scholarly robes left, he said, "The disciples of my lineage are merely obeying orders. Please do not make things difficult for them."
The purple-crowned old man said, "This old man will naturally not make things difficult for them. However, this old man will not care about how the juniors below fight amongst themselves. Those who dare to trespass into my northeastern Sky Heaven Territory are asking for whatever happens to them."
The figure of the middle-aged man in scholarly robes vanished.
The purple-crowned old man stood where he was, treading on space as he remained silent.
After a long time, he sighed towards the heavens, shaking his head as he turned and entered the dimensional passageway, arriving in the foreign dimension.
After entering, the purple-crowned old man's originally frowning brows relaxed. Still, they quickly knit once more, "That lass has already disappeared? Who was it here who battled with those youngsters of the eastern Vast Heaven Territory? "
His gaze swept over, penetrating through space as it fell directly on Yan Zhaoge.
"This old man is Liu Zhenggu. Who are you?"
Yan Zhaoge smiled, bowing, "I am surnamed Yan, Yan Zhaoge. Greetings, Northeastern Exalt."
Liu Zhenggu, the lord of the northeastern Sky Heaven Territory, the Chief of Green Sky Mountain's Grave Thunder Palace, one of the World beyond Worlds' Ten Exalts, the Northeastern Exalt.
"Yan Zhaoge? This name sounds rather familiar … "Looking at Yan Zhaoge, Liu Zhenggu's gaze suddenly flickered," Wait, your appearance … "
