In contrast, the others were different.

For example, the Heavenly Emperor who ruled the Primordial Immortal Realm and whose power shook the Nine Realms and Eight Desolations.

Upon learning that the original ancestor's inheritance was very likely to fall into Gu Xuan's hands.

A very complex expression appeared in his eyes.

And there was also the ethereal and otherworldly Laozi, who, as always, sat cross-legged on the back of the green ox with his eyes closed in meditation.

They seemed completely unaware of the impending conflict that was about to erupt.

His calm and composed demeanor suggested that nothing in the world could disturb the peace in his heart.

However, the moment the Tongtian Sect Leader saw Gu Xuan appear, his gaze immediately fell on Gu Xuan and the Golden Spirit Mother standing beside him.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, your cultivation is becoming increasingly profound and unfathomable. I never expected that you would be by my side, yet I was completely unaware that your clone had quietly entered the ruins."

"Heh, it's just a few trivial tricks."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan humbly waved his hand and said, "In front of Master Tongtian, I am merely showing off my limited skills."

"Fellow Daoist Gu, you're being a bit too modest!"

With a broad smile, the Tongtian Sect Leader extended his right hand and gently patted Gu Xuan's broad and sturdy shoulder.

His eyes were full of admiration.

At the same time, his gaze subtly drifted to the side.

It happened to land on the graceful and charming Golden Spirit Mother.

At this moment, the Golden Spirit Mother's cheeks were flushed, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on Gu Xuan beside her with deep affection.

That gaze was practically drool-worthy!

Completely unaware of the meaningful look that his master had cast at him.

Upon seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Sigh, daughters really are a breed that grows up and leave home!"

"Now that this girl has found someone she likes, her heart and eyes are filled with her lover, and she probably has long forgotten about me, her teacher!"

But then I thought about it again.

The Tongtian Sect Leader also felt that this matter might not be such a bad thing after all.

After all, the Golden Spirit Mother was deeply in love with Gu Xuan, and Gu Xuan was also a handsome and talented man with considerable strength.

If the two can truly achieve a happy ending, then the relationship between their two major powers will inevitably become even closer.

In this way, when the third great calamity is about to arrive...

Both sides support each other and work together to address the challenges.

Perhaps then they wouldn't have been so somewhat overwhelmed when facing the two major religions, Chan and Xifang.

Secondly, it would also benefit the Jie Sect, which he founded.

In this far-reaching third great calamity, a few precious chances of survival were seized!

Thinking of this.

The Tongtian Sect Leader's slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.

......

At this moment, above Lanruo Temple, at the original entrance to the ruins.

Facing the gaze of the crowd.

Gu Xuan didn't care at all, but Xu Xinnian beside him felt a little uncomfortable.

This was the first time he had been completely exposed in front of so many big shots, with no secrets left to him.

Fortunately, before coming out...

He disguised himself, and his master, Gu Xuan, did not want him to be exposed.

He decided to continue his covert presence in the Heavenly Court.

In the master's own words, it was, "If you want to be the sixth one, then continue to be one."

The cultivation world is inherently a dog-eat-dog world.

Before you've fully built up your strength, there's nothing shameful about playing it safe.

Regarding Master's words.

Xu Xinnian completely agreed, and he suddenly felt that he had finally found a kindred spirit.

Moreover, he inexplicably felt a familiar sense of security from his master, Gu Xuan.

He even once felt that his master, Gu Xuan, was the same kind of person as him.

Just then, Yuanshi Tianzun stepped forward.

He exuded a chilling killing intent and shouted at Gu Xuan, "Gu Xuan, if you have any sense, hand over that inheritance immediately!"

"Otherwise, your sect would have been utterly destroyed today!"

The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable resounded in the air like thunder, causing the entire space to tremble slightly.

Seeing this, the leaders of the surrounding top powers also looked at Yuanshi Tianzun with surprise.

Is this really so blatant?!

As expected of the leader of the Chan Sect, he is so self-righteous in snatching things, as if he doesn't think anything of it and even thinks that the future Buddha's lineage belongs to him.

However, faced with such an aggressive stance from Yuanshi Tianzun.

Gu Xuan merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

He slowly raised his eyes and looked coldly at Yuanshi Tianzun.

Those gazes were like two cold, sharp beams of light, piercing straight into the other person's heart.

"Oh? You want me to hand over my inheritance?"

"I find it strange that I never realized you, Yuanshi Tianzun, were such a shameless person!"

"court death!"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Without saying a word, he suddenly threw the jade ruyi, which was radiating a warm luster, forward!

In an instant.

A surge of celestial power, as vast and boundless as the sea, burst forth from the body of the Primordial Celestial Venerable like a flood breaking its banks, and quickly converged on the jade ruyi that had been thrown out.

The originally small and exquisite jade ruyi was transformed by the infusion of this powerful immortal energy.

It expanded and grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In an instant, the jade ruyi transformed into an enormous creature in the void.

It is crystal clear throughout.

It is as if it were carved from a single piece of beautiful jade, radiating a dazzling light.

At the same time, a terrifying power that seemed capable of suppressing heaven and earth and destroying everything in the world also surged out continuously from this huge jade ruyi, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently.
