Chapter 76: Confrontation Chapter 2: Seeking Votes

  Throughout the vast expanse of the Grand Primordium, all the powerful beings who had reached the realm of Da Luo Jinxian could sense what was happening within the Purple Mansion. They were all staring intently at Yun Zhongzi as he cast his spell, their mouths dry and their tongues parched.

  "This is crazy, this Yun Zhongzi is really a madman, too damn awesome, such a large amount of stellar essence, actually only used to condense a body?"

  Minghe had an urge to scold his mother, feeling that Yun Zhongzi was being wasteful of heaven's gifts.

  "Hmm, Yun Zhongzi, it's really... too... too crazy."

  Lian Di Xian's ancestor Zhen Yuanzi didn't know what to say either, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

  "Haha, interesting."

  A Taoist temple, an old Taoist priest looked up at the sky with a smile on his face, stroked his beard and said so. Behind him stood a fake Taoist, looking at the old Taoist priest with a puzzled expression.

  ……

  Even if he wasn't one of the Quasi-Saints, just being a Saint would have been enough for him to be shocked by Yun Zhongzi's actions.

  "This little guy doesn't stop for a moment." The old man shook his head and continued to refine the pill.

  "Hmph." Yuanshi Tianzun let out a cold snort, but he couldn't help but admire Yun Zhongzi's aura.

  As for Nüwa and Tongtian Jiao, both of them just smiled helplessly. But the Accurate Deliverance Dao person was stunned, "This guy is really fierce, why doesn't my Western Sect have such a disciple?"

  Jie Ying Dao Ren heard the words, looked at Zhun Ti Dao Ren in surprise and said, "Shi Di, you're not always resentful of Yun Zhong Zi to the point of gritting your teeth, so why do you seem to want to take him into our Western Sect now?"

  Zhun Ti Dao Ren shook his head, "It's just talk, this guy is really unpredictable, but I do have some envy for the Tong Tian Cult Master, to be able to get such a great disciple, sigh."

  ……

  Half a minute later, Yang Jiao's body had completely solidified, but Yun Zhongzi was not satisfied and continued to exert himself, pouring in a large amount of starlight essence before stopping.

  However, during this period, something happened that made Yun Zhongzi cry and laugh. After the stellar essence condensed into a body, it actually removed all the essence of the nine spiritual roots that Yun Zhongzi had used to rebuild Yang Jiao's body. Now, Yang Jiao's entire body, except for his head, is completely composed of condensed stellar essence.

  However, the essence of those nine spiritual roots was ultimately absorbed by Yang Jiao's soul. Yun Zhongzi didn't know if this was good or bad, but for now he could only watch and wait.

  "Master... Master."

  At this time, Yang Jiao finally opened his eyes in the 12th rank Black Lotus, his eyes were filled with gratitude, and he couldn't speak. Although he had been in a coma for some time, as soon as he woke up, he understood what had happened during this period of time.

  Yun Zhongzi nodded and said, "Your soul is severely damaged and needs a large amount of spiritual energy to repair itself."

  Yang Jiao was moved, his eyes moistened, he didn't know what to say, staring at his master, biting his lips.

  "Go, to mend your soul." Yun Zhongzi's heart moved, and he set up the Twelve-Ranked Lotus Platform, ready to leave. After all, Yang Jiao's body had already recovered, but his soul was injured, which was a big deal that needed to be resolved as soon as possible, lest it lead to further changes.

  "Hum, Yun Zhongzi, what do you mean by this?"

  Just then, a stern voice suddenly echoed throughout the Ziwei Palace.

  Yun Zhongzi's eyebrows furrowed, and his face immediately turned gloomy. He coldly snorted, "Hmph, Haotian, I haven't even gone to pay my respects at your Heavenly Court, yet you've come knocking on my door."

  Yun Zhongzi had originally planned to give Yang Jiao a new body and repair his soul before going to settle accounts with Huang Tian, after all, saving Yang Jiao was the top priority and couldn't be delayed. However, he didn't expect Huang Tian to take the initiative to find them first.

  Yang Jiao's face was also ugly, with a pair of fists crackling with anger, his heart full of rage. Yang Jiao hated this uncle who was so cold and unfeeling that he didn't even spare his own nephew, let alone his own sister. He wished he could kill Huang Tian.

  "Hmph, looking for trouble? This Ziwei Palace originally belongs to my Heavenly Court. I can come and go as I please. But you, who came uninvited, what are you doing in my Heavenly Court?"

  Hao Tian's eyes were filled with rage, his long hair standing on end. He descended in front of the Zi Wei Palace, furiously rebuking Yun Zhongzi. His entire face had turned a deep crimson, revealing just how great Hao Tian's anger was at this moment.

  Yun Zhongzi burst out laughing, "Haha, Haotian, you're still the master of the Heavenly Court, yet you're so shameless. The six Yuans of the Heavenly Court, the Purple Emperor's one Yuan belongs to my Interception Sect. This was decided by several saints, how did it become yours? You don't even put the six saints in your eyes, isn't this Heavenly Court master a bit too arrogant?"

  With such a big hat on, the Heavenly Emperor's body trembled with rage, pointing at Yun Zhongzi and shouting, "Yun Zhongzi, don't use the Sage to pressure me! It was you who said that the Purple Mansion would be managed by my Heavenly Court for 2,000 years. Does this mean that the Purple Mansion is not part of my Heavenly Court in these 2,000 years?"

  Yun Zhongzi burst out laughing, his laughter echoing throughout the starry sky. "Hao Tian, this Purple Violet Imperial Seal is mine to command, and I can entrust it to anyone I please. If they don't do a good job, can't I take it back? Moreover, for hundreds of years, I've entrusted the Purple Violet Imperial Seal to your Heavenly Court to manage, but not only have I not received any benefits from you, you've even wantonly slaughtered my disciples. With such behavior, do you think I'll still entrust the Purple Violet Imperial Seal to you?"

  Haotian's face turned purple with rage, his hair standing on end. He knew he was in the wrong, but he couldn't bring himself to give up the Ziwu Emperor's seal just like that. "Hmph, no matter what, you promised me two thousand years back then. Within these two thousand years, the Heavenly Court will never hand over the Ziwu Emperor's seal."

  Yun Zhongzi heard this and didn't get angry, but instead sneered, "Tsk, tsk, Haotian, I really didn't expect it. The master of the Heavenly Court is actually so shameless. I've been born in the Primordial Chaos for many years, and this is still my first time seeing something like this. It's truly contemptible."

  Yang Jiao was also dissatisfied on the side, coldly snorting, in his opinion, Huang Tian, this nominal uncle of his, was simply despicable. However, at this moment when the two were conversing, he didn't have the right to speak up at all.

  Haotian had long been furious, but he had been enduring it all along. For the sake of Ziwei's one move, he couldn't help but endure. The stellar essence was his heavenly court's recruitment banner, and if they lost this stellar essence, although the heavenly court's vitality was abundant, how many people would be willing to come to the heavenly court to serve?

  "Hmph, you can leave now, Ziwei is under my control. Within two thousand years in the Heavenly Court, I will never hand it over to your sect."

  Haotian has also compromised for the sake of Tiangong at this time, regardless of whether it is embarrassing or not, strengthening the power of Tiangong is the top priority.

  Yun Zhong didn't get angry, instead he smiled strangely and shook his head. He sighed deliberately and said, "Hao Tian, you're still holding onto the two thousand year promise, aren't you? But I remember that when I made a vow to Heaven's Court back then, it was roughly around two thousand years, give or take a few hundred years, right? You tell me, now that I've come to reclaim the Zi Wei Palace, isn't it reasonable?"

  Yun Zhongzi emphasized the five words "about two thousand years" so heavily that Haotian's whole body shook.

  Hao Tian was stunned and remained motionless for a moment.

  Indeed, Cloud Middle Child said it was around two thousand years ago. Haotian only remembered the word "two thousand years" but didn't think more about it. Now that Cloud Middle Child has mentioned it, Haotian suddenly reacted.

  However, at the same time, Haotian also felt a chill in his heart. If Ziwu Yizun was not protected, even if he didn't care about losing face and pulled out "even ten thousand years is around two thousand years", it would be of no use. After all, Ziwu Yizun belonged to Jie Teaching, and Jie Teaching had the upper hand.

  Other powerful beings in the vast wilderness also rolled their eyes, feeling that Yun Zhongzi was a bit shameless. However, they could understand him as well - after all, his disciples had almost been killed by Huang Tian. Could Yun Zhongzi still let Ziwei take control of the Heavenly Court? This was clearly impossible, and what Yun Zhongzi said wasn't wrong either.

  "This bastard actually has such a shameless side, humph, I really underestimated him."

  The one who had the greatest feeling was Qu Tian Daoren, although he couldn't help but want to tidy up Yun Zhongzi a bit. However, at this moment, he was extremely in agreement with Yun Zhongzi, because if it were him, he would have done the same thing.

  Although Yun Zhongzi seems like a scoundrel in everyone's heart at this moment, he is undoubtedly also a winner.

  Haotian's anger burned like wildfire, and at this moment he no longer regretted offending Yun Zhongzi, but instead hated that he couldn't kill Yun Zhongzi. "Ah, Yun Zhongzi, you're too arrogant."

  Haotian's eyes turned blood red, his whole body's aura bursting out wildly. In an instant, he pounced forward, a palm strike heading straight for Yun Zhongzi.

  "Desperation makes people do crazy things."

  Yun Zhongzi snorted coldly and instantly flew into the Twelve-Tiered World-Destroying Black Lotus, at the same time taking out the God-Slaying Spear, and with one spear thrust, he stabbed towards Haotian's palm.

  Haotian was furious, but he didn't lose his mind. He knew that Yun Zhongzi's Divine Gun was no ordinary object and absolutely couldn't be pierced by it. Therefore, Haotian's hand flashed with light, and a long sword appeared, swinging the sword towards Yun Zhongzi.

  "Hmm."

  Like a needle against a millet grain, the two clashed for the first time and fought to a draw.

  "Hmph, as expected you're quite formidable, but it's all thanks to that treasure of yours. Without it, I'd have beaten you a thousand times over."

  Haotian carefully examined his long sword, and the tip of the sword was actually worn out, which made him shocked. At the same time, he also raised his vigilance against the God-slaying spear, absolutely not allowing it to pierce his body.

  "Hmph, anyone can talk big, but if you don't have the true sacred cultivation, dare to fight me?"

  Yun Zhongzi wasn't one to suffer losses either, and his words were also merciless, striking in such a way that afterwards the two began to treat each other with caution.

  "Boom."

  Two people coincidentally clashed in front of each other, their moves and Taoist methods fully displayed as they fought within the Ziwei Palace, with the power of the stars shooting out in all directions, causing this place to become completely chaotic.

  The Taoist canon is resplendent, the guns and swords are eyeless, the yuanqi and the power of the stars are in disarray, these powers blast on top of the Ziwei Palace, and many palaces inside the Ziwei Palace are immediately blasted to pieces.

  "Despicable."

  Yun Zhongzi was enraged, and he could clearly feel that Huang Tian, relying on his own quasi-saint cultivation, manipulated some sword lights to slash towards the palace, causing the majestic palace inside the Ziwei Palace to collapse.

  "Hmm."

  Hao Tian coldly snorted, his face very indifferent. Since he couldn't get Zi Wei now, it was better to destroy her instead.

  Of course, Yun Zhongzi would not cater to his wishes and spare no effort in transferring the battlefield.

  "Hmm."

  Yun Zhongzi's Twelve-Petal Black Lotus defense was too strong, and Haotian had been attacking for a long time without success. He brought out the Haotian Mirror, and a beam of light shot over like lightning, striking the Twelve-Petal Lotus Platform in an instant. However, since the Haotian Mirror was specifically designed to attack the soul, when it struck the platform, it didn't have any effect, causing Haotian to become enraged.

  "Drink."

  Haotian's full-body Fa Li rotated to the sword tip, "whoosh" the long sword flew out of his hand and stabbed straight into Yun Zhongzi, while he cheated forward with a pounce, both fists striking heavily.

  Yun Zhongzi hastily parried the divine spear with his gun, while taking out the Lietu Seal and directly pressing it onto Haotian. At the same time, Yun Zhongzi's mind stirred, and he also brought out the Ruyi Ring to bind Haotian.

  Haotian was shocked and retreated in an instant, while at this time, the long sword also struck the lotus platform, causing the aura of the lotus platform to shake violently, but it was still far from breaking open, which made Haotian's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  Yun Zhongzi has twelve products of the world-destroying black lotus in his hand, like carrying a turtle shell on his back. His defense is too strong, and Haotian does not have any treasure that can break through his defense.

  But just at this moment, Yang Jiao, who was in the 12th rank of the Black Lotus, suddenly let out a miserable cry.
