"Could it be the demon master Kunpeng?" The cultivator who had guessed earlier asked again, with a slight tremor in his voice.
"It is definitely not Kunpeng. The aura is completely different. Moreover, with the order of the Taoist Ancestor, he dare not act rashly. I don't think he has the courage to do so." Another cultivator shook his head in denial, his tone firm.
"Who else could it be? First there was the mysterious master of formations, and now there's such a terrifying monster. This Shen family is really weird!" Someone said suspiciously, his eyes full of confusion and fear.
"No, the Shen family itself is not that powerful. All this is probably because of Yu Kai! This must be the backup plan left for him by the Demon-Suppressing Saint Queen!" Someone guessed thoughtfully, with a hint of certainty in his voice.
"Hiss, this is really possible. The Demon-Subduing Saint Queen got lost in the endless void. Maybe it was really her subordinates who returned to the prehistoric world to protect Yu Kai. With the heroic character of the Demon-Subduing Saint Queen who went to the Heavenly Palace alone, she could really do this." Someone nodded in agreement, with a hint of amazement in his tone.
"This is a serious matter. Yu Kai's younger sister is the Saint of the Dark Abyss Demon Alliance, and her status is second only to the three great demon lords. If they unite, can the Heavenly Court really compete with them?" Someone said with a worried look on his face, with a trembling voice.
"Not only that, Yu Kai also became brothers with the young master of the White Tiger clan and the Golden Kirin of the Kirin clan. The Ten Thousand Demons Sect and the Kirin clan have been looking for an opportunity to break free from the slavery of the Heavenly Court. They will definitely not miss this opportunity and will definitely use it to stir up trouble!" Someone else analyzed solemnly, his tone heavy.
The shocking events unfolding on Neptune spread like a storm across the prehistoric world. All factions learned that Yu Kai was being supported by a mysterious and powerful being, a demonic warrior mastering both the art of formations and spiritual cultivation. Upon hearing this news, the entire prehistoric world was plunged into shock and unease.
At that moment, within the Heavenly Palace's Lingxiao Palace, the atmosphere was oppressive, like the dead silence before a storm. The Jade Emperor's face was gloomy, his eyes gleaming with a faint rage. All the immortals within the palace were silent, afraid to speak first, fearing the wrath of the Lord of the Three Realms.
Finally, the Jade Emperor turned his gaze to Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the current situation in the Lingxu Secret Realm? Is Nezha confident that he can capture Yu Kai?"
"Your Majesty, Nezha is still refining the Chaos Pearl and the Empress Nuwa Pearl in the secret realm. Once he has refined the numerous treasures he acquired in the Jade Purity Primordial Realm, he will surely be able to successfully defeat Yu Kai and Lin Niuniu!" Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, hurried forward and reported respectfully. He had every confidence in Nezha. After all, Nezha had prepared for years and acquired numerous treasures, so how could he be easily defeated by a junior?
"Very good, tell him to capture Yu Kai at all costs. Only in this way can our Heavenly Court regain its dignity in front of all the forces in the prehistoric world and completely suppress the arrogance of the Shen family and the Dark Abyss Demon Alliance!" The Jade Emperor slammed the table with a serious and resolute expression.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing this, Taibai Jinxing hurried forward.
"What's the matter?" The Jade Emperor felt nervous when he saw Taibai Jinxing's serious expression, and he immediately asked.
"Your Majesty, I have just received a piece of news from the Buddhist community about the young Heavenly Master Zhang Qiming..." Taibai Jinxing looked embarrassed, as if hesitating and not daring to speak directly.
"What did you get? Just tell me!" The Jade Emperor was a little impatient.
"Your Majesty, Arhat Yanhuoyun is in Daoyunxu and learned from Yu Kai that the young Taoist priest Zhang Qiming actually obtained a ray of Hongmeng purple energy left by the Taoist ancestor!" Taibai Jinxing gritted his teeth and said quickly.
"What?" Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor stood up from the dragon throne. All the ministers in the Heavenly Court were also extremely shocked, their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
"Impossible! How could Dao Yunxu contain primordial purple energy? Why would Master place a primordial purple energy there?" The Jade Emperor, after a brief moment of distraction, demanded with agitation. He was filled with shock and anger. Though he was the ruler of the Three Realms, he was no saint. Many matters depended on the consent of his senior brothers. Take, for example, the Monkey King's rampage in the Heavenly Palace. He had to lead the other immortals in a show of defiance, a humiliating act.
"Your Majesty, it is said that this primordial purple energy was cut out when the Dao Ancestor merged with the Heavenly Dao. I never thought that it was placed in the Dao Yunxu." Taibai Jinxing explained solemnly.
Though the Jade Emperor was filled with resentment, he knew this was Master Hongjun's arrangement and dared not complain. Suppressing his emotions, he turned his gaze to the Supreme Lord Laojun and instructed, "Send some top-grade elixirs to the Heavenly Master's Mansion and the Central Imperial Palace to help Tianshi Zhang and Emperor Xuanyuan recover quickly from their injuries. Also, have Zhang Daoling send a message to Junior Tianshi Zhang Qiming, instructing him to join forces with Nezha to capture Yu Kai."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go back and prepare." Taishang Laojun hurriedly accepted the order.
After this incident, the Heavenly Court temporarily subsided, not only refraining from sending troops to Neptune to harass the Shen family but also significantly reducing its suppression of the Moon Spirit Sect. This brought the Shen family a rare period of peace and stability. During this period, Shen Teng dispatched numerous elite formation and weapon masters to Earth, helping the planet achieve tremendous progress in science and technology.
News of Zhang Qiming's acquisition of the Primordial Purple Qi spread like wildfire throughout the prehistoric lands. Everyone flocked to the Tianshi Mansion, believing the Primordial Purple Qi was the key to sainthood. They all understood that Zhang Qiming would eventually become a saint. This news was deliberately released by the Heavenly Court. Due to the Shen family's frequent actions, the Myriad Demon Sect and the Dark Abyss Demon Alliance were eager to make a move, displaying disrespect towards the Heavenly Court. The Myriad Demon Sect even threatened to marry their Saint, Ao Ling, to Yu Kai. This news, in turn, quieted the forces of the various factions. After all, the prehistoric saints were renowned far and wide, and no one wanted to offend a newly minted saint.
At the Daoyunxu Gate, deep within the Lingxu Secret Realm, fierce battles have frequently erupted over the years. Numerous geniuses have banded together to attempt to break in. After all, the Lingxu Secret Realm closes after a hundred years, and ninety years have already passed, leaving them utterly anxious.
Over the course of nearly forty years, Yu Kai devoted himself to cultivation, achieving a breakthrough to the pinnacle of the Supreme Realm. His mastery of various principles grew ever more sophisticated, and he even forged a mecha with pseudo-godlike power. Zixiao Lingzhu observed all of this, and in gratitude for Yu Kai's refusal to treat her like a treasure, she took the initiative to impart a portion of Hongjun Daozu's Daoist thoughts to Yu Kai, helping him grasp the true meaning of the Great Dao. Later, she seamlessly merged with the mecha, transforming into its intelligent system and significantly enhancing its functionality. This significantly increased Zixiao Lingzhu's own strength. On ordinary days, she remained at Yu Kai's side, acting as a normal human, her strength far surpassing her previous form. In crucial moments, she could merge with Yu Kai, instantly boosting his combat power.
Yu Kai treated her not as an ordinary treasure, but as a person, naming her Zixiao. This gesture touched Zixiao Lingzhu, who decided to remain with Yu Kai in his mecha form for the rest of his life. Yu Kai was instantly captivated by the profound and profound Daoist teachings of Hongjun Daozu, losing track of time. Zixiao even sealed herself off with him to prevent him from being disturbed.
