The appearance of the Chaos Treasure, even though it concealed its aura, still allowed the ancient and desolate Chaos aura to be detected by the sages billions of miles away. Instantly, all the sages were moved and flew westward. Even the usually tranquil and inactive Supreme Being could not resist the temptation of the Chaos Treasure and flew westward. That was the Chaos Treasure; obtaining it would allow one to transcend the Heavenly Dao and achieve true freedom.

In the Hall of Divine Punishment, Saint One transmitted his voice to his disciples, saying, "Ke'er, Zhenyuan, Zhenyi, Tianming, and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven are in trouble. The West, please quickly come to their aid."

Instantly, all the saints of Penglai Island transformed into streams of light and flew towards the far west... Meanwhile, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, upon seeing that the one tapping his head was the Chaos Pearl he had been searching for for nine years, roared, "My darling, you've finally come out! Do you know how hard I've searched for you? I've traveled billions of miles for you, searching this barren land for nine years! Nine years without touching a woman's breasts! And you only just appeared! Aren't you going to infuriate me? But seeing that you're so sensible, I won't punish you, and I won't give you a massage either..."

Did the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, caught up in his excitement, fail to sense the presence of those sages? No, he knew that the emergence of the Chaos Treasure would inevitably awaken those sages, but without certainty, how could he possibly stay behind...? The Great Sage Equaling Heaven waved his hand, forming countless hand seals, and shouted, "Pangu's Heaven-Opening Formation - Guarding Heaven and Earth!" Instantly, a chaotic gray line appeared all around, intertwining and weaving into a chaotic spiderweb that enveloped and protected the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

When the saints arrived, they saw a great array emanating a chaotic aura, with countless strange characters and symbols flashing on it, radiating five-colored light, tempting the saints' hearts.

In the West there are two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti; in the North there are two saints, Kunpeng and Wutian; in the East there are four saints, Taishang, Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Nuwa. However, the southern part of the earth is empty, with no cultivator occupying it. Nuwa and Tongtian immediately flashed to the south to prevent it from flying away.

Taishang said, “Judging from the chaotic aura on the treasure-guarding array, it is estimated that the treasure is guarded by the divine array used by Pangu to guard the new world when he created the heavens and earth—the Pangu's Guardian of Heaven and Earth. If you see this array, the treasure must be inside. Whoever breaks the array first will get the treasure. What do you fellow Daoists think?”

The crowd said, "Good."

Only Zhunti argued, "This treasure comes from the West, which shows that it has a connection with our West and should belong to our Western religion."

Upon hearing this, the Primordial Being cried out in surprise, "This is the primordial land, how can there be a distinction between east and west? The most precious treasures belong to those of virtue, not to you, the West..."

Zhunti was furious upon hearing this and cursed, "You Yuanshi, you are truly not a son! This treasure is in the West and should rightfully belong to me."

Tongtian said, "Fellow Daoist Zhunti, my Eastern spiritual treasures originate from the East, so why would they also have a connection with your Western counterpart?"

Zhunti wanted to speak, but Jieyin stopped him and he fell silent.

Jieyin said, "Let's do as Fellow Daoist Taishang says. Whoever breaks the formation first will get the treasure."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti hurriedly said, "This treasure comes from the West, which shows that it has a connection with the West. It is appropriate for my senior brother and me to break it first."

The saints remained silent. Zhunti laughed loudly and said to Jieyin, "Brother, let's break this barrier together, so that the saints of the East will also know about the West."

Jieyin gave a wry smile, summoning the Twenty-Four Merit Golden Lotus to protect himself and Zhunti. Looking at this grand formation, said to be able to withstand the might of Pangu's creation of the world, he unleashed his magical treasures. Above Zhunti's head appeared a cloud of auspicious light, upon which rested a thousand-zhang-tall tree—the Bodhi Tree. The Bodhi Tree emitted a soft green light, protecting the two. In his hand, a wooden staff emitted a faint green glow, and behind him stood a thousand-zhang-tall golden Bodhi statue, majestic and imposing. Above Jieyin's head also appeared a cloud of auspicious light, upon which dragged a cloth, radiating dazzling golden light—the Jieyin Divine Banner. Three relics floated around him, exuding golden lotus petals that protected his entire body. Behind him stood a thousand-zhang-tall golden Buddha statue. Zhunti roared, "The Law of Life, the Limitless Cycle of Life and Death!" Instantly, the Bodhi Staff emitted countless green life energies, which instantly transformed into gray death energies, forming a soaring dragon with a blood-red maw hundreds of feet wide, roaring and biting at the great formation... Jieyin also shouted, "The Law of Light - Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage," and countless Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats instantly appeared all around, radiating golden light. In the blink of an eye, these countless Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats formed a golden Buddha statue ten thousand feet tall, crashing into the great formation... Meanwhile, as the two Western Saints broke the formation, the other Saints exclaimed in surprise: "Zhunti comprehended the Law of Death from the Law of Life, and Jieyin has also cultivated the Law of Light to an extremely high level, even able to gather the power of the Blissful World. The two Western Saints are truly extraordinary."

With a loud boom, the Pangu Formation rippled and swayed uneasily, but soon returned to calm.

Jieyin and Zhunti were dumbfounded, and the other six sages were also stunned. They never expected that even with the combined strength of the two sages, they could not break the great formation. It is evident that Pangu's divine power is indeed vast. I cannot wait any longer.

Regardless of what the saints were thinking, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven in the formation was overjoyed and shouted, "How about that? Are you dumbfounded? Are you stunned? You've never seen anything like this before, a bunch of idiots."

Seeing that Jieyin was making a fool of himself, Wutian chuckled and said, "Please, Supreme Lord and Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, make the first move."

How could Taishang Yuanshi not know that the two wanted to deplete their magical power? Taishang glanced at Tongtian and Nuwa and said, "Junior brother and junior sister, please let us join forces, and then we can discuss the ownership of the treasure."

The two said, "Good."

The Supreme One manifested auspicious clouds of merit, upon which a Taiji diagram scroll radiated boundless golden light. A foot-long scroll slowly swirled and danced, emitting bursts of azure light. Above the Primordial Auspicious Clouds rested the Pangu Banner, which fluttered and vibrated in the breeze. With each vibration, a chaotic sword aura shot out. In his hand, he held a three-colored jade ruyi. Above the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds was only an ancient and simple sword, radiating boundless killing intent. Thousands of azure lotus flowers danced around it, protecting the Heavenly One. Nuwa also displayed great divine powers, scattering a clear light, accompanied by melodious sounds and the harmonious ringing of metal and stone. The Myriad Phenomena Diagram hung high above, transforming into mountains and rivers, sun, moon, stars, birds, beasts, flowers, fish, green grass, and giant trees, outlining a world and a realm. The innate spiritual treasure, the Red Embroidered Ball, swirled and danced around her, scattering patches of red light.
