West Kunlun.
As soon as the Sage Zhunti stepped into the sky above the grotto heaven, the Queen Mother of the West, who was residing in her celestial palace, felt a sudden chill run down her spine.
After trying to calculate it again, he came up with no result, which made him even more alarmed.
After all, this was during a great calamity, and the battles between the various religions were more brutal than ever before.
Even though the Queen Mother of the West remained secluded in the mountains, she still had formed too many karmic connections with the outside world before the Great Tribulation.
Who told her that the Western Kunlun lineage had always been under the protection of the Jade Void Palace and under the command of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable?
In the past, during the Investiture of the Gods war, she sent Lu Ya Daojun to help the Chan Sect. Many disciples of the Jie Sect died directly or indirectly at his hands...
The Queen Mother of the West left the celestial palace and looked out towards the celestial mountain. A moment later, a wisp of auspicious cloud slowly descended from the heavens.
With a slight turn of her beautiful eyes, she clearly saw the face of the Sage Zhunti, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
"Why is he here?!"
The Queen Mother of the West inwardly groaned, her sense of foreboding growing ever stronger.
Not long ago, the demon race's high-ranking members were wiped out by the Sage Xuanxiang, and even Nuwa, who was also a sage, could not protect them.
Now, facing the arrival of the Sage Zhunti, she truly didn't know how to deal with someone harboring evil intentions.
This is a time of great calamity. The other party is a saint, yet he enters this place alone. Who would believe that he is just a guest?
Perhaps those who come with ill intentions don't come at all.
The Queen Mother of the West sighed heavily, knowing she had to find a way to deal with the crisis at hand.
Otherwise, if the Sage Zhunti finds an excuse, the consequences will be unimaginable.
She took a deep breath, composed herself, and decided to observe the intentions of the Sage Zhunti before making any plans.
At the same time, she secretly prayed, hoping to receive divine protection and overcome this difficult time...
A lucky cloud drifted slowly down from the sky and landed on the Jade Terrace.
The Queen Mother of the West was filled with emotion, but she still hurriedly went to greet her.
He smiled and said from afar, "I was unaware of the arrival of the Master. I have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me!"
The Sage Zhunti dispersed the auspicious clouds and said calmly, "There's no need for that. I came in a hurry and disturbed you, fellow Daoist."
Although he harbored ill intentions, he still behaved quite politely before taking action.
The Queen Mother of the West quickly bowed and respectfully asked, "May I ask what brings you here, Your Majesty?"
If there's anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask.
The Sage Zhunti looked at the Queen Mother of the West and said calmly, "I have come here only to help you overcome this calamity."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West felt a chill in her heart.
Although she knew long ago that Buddhism had perished, the saint Zhunti must have been in a bad mood at this time.
If you accidentally anger him, it could bring you great disaster.
But no matter what, she couldn't change any of it.
The Sage Zhunti came here to help these people overcome their tribulations.
No matter how careful and humble the Queen Mother of the West was, she could not change his mind.
"Your Majesty, please forgive us. Before the great calamity began, we had already closed our mountains and doors, and had not been involved in any worldly karma. But we do not know where this calamity comes from?" the Queen Mother of the West asked cautiously.
The Sage Zhunti looked at the Queen Mother of the West, a hint of pity in his eyes.
He thought to himself that this Queen Mother of the West might not know that before the Great Tribulation began, when the three sages conferred the titles of gods, the Primordial Heavenly Lord had already linked her and the disciples of West Kunlun with the Investiture of the Gods.
This is essentially equivalent to writing their names on the Investiture of the Gods list.
At this moment, when the Queen Mother of the West inquired about the origin of the calamity, she was clearly unaware that she had already become the substitute for the calamity of the Chan Sect.
To be tricked by a sage without even realizing it is truly pitiful and lamentable!
"You, of the Western Kunlun lineage, are all destined individuals listed on the Investiture of the Gods. Do you still need to ask me where my calamity comes from?"
A slight smile appeared on the lips of the Sage Zhunti, as he glanced at the Queen Mother of the West with a hint of mockery.
He looked up at the sun in the sky and laughed, "Alright, it's getting late now. I need to hurry up and send everyone to the list so we don't miss the auspicious time."
The Queen Mother of the West's expression changed drastically, realizing the cause and effect involved.
"Yuanshi has misled me!"
She shouted, and instead of advancing, she retreated, transforming into a beam of light as she fled rapidly backward.
"Heh heh! How could you possibly escape from me!"
Sage Zhunti chuckled softly, and the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand swayed slightly, immediately unleashing a dazzling array of colorful rays of light.
The rosy light spread across the sky like a ribbon, instantly catching up with the Queen Mother of the West, sweeping through the air and tightly enveloping her.
It seemed that with just a little more effort, the Queen Mother of the West could be reduced to ashes in the next moment.
However, at this moment, the Queen Mother of the West finally summoned her magical treasure, the Kunlun Mirror, and forcibly cleaved a passage through the rosy light, quickly jumping out.
"Not bad! Not bad! You do indeed possess some supernatural powers! You are worthy of being a fellow Daoist who was born at the time of the creation of heaven and earth."
The Sage Zhunti clicked his tongue in admiration.
Then he took a step, and his figure instantly appeared in front of the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West hurriedly raised the Kunlun Mirror and shone it on the Sage Zhunti. A beam of light flashed on the mirror, freezing the space and time around the Sage Zhunti.
Unfortunately, this could not trap the saint himself.
With a gentle sway of the Seven Treasures Tree in the hands of the Sage Zhunti, the frozen space-time around him shattered instantly, like a broken glass mirror.
The next moment, a figure emerged from the shattered space—it was none other than the Sage Zhunti!
With a smile on his lips, he held the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand and casually waved it toward the Queen Mother of the West.
The Seven Treasures Tree shimmered with dazzling light, and with a gentle swipe, the Kunlun Mirror in the Queen Mother of the West's hand slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground.
The Queen Mother of the West's face instantly turned extremely ugly. She secretly thought to herself that something was wrong and wanted to continue to escape.
However, at that moment, the Sage Zhunti once again wielded the Seven Treasures Tree, heading straight for her brow.
The attack was extremely fast, and the Queen Mother of the West had no time to react. She could only watch helplessly as the Seven Treasures Tree hurtled towards her.
A wave of despair washed over her, and she wanted to run away, but her body wouldn't obey her commands.
When the Seven Treasures Tree touched the Queen Mother of the West's brow, it was only lightly touched before being immediately withdrawn.
The Queen Mother of the West's eyes instantly lost their luster, and her once vibrant body began to wither at that moment, her life force rapidly dissipating.
Her body fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string.
A goddess of her generation has fallen, ending her extraordinary life.
Before the Queen Mother of the West's body could hit the ground, a female immortal suddenly rushed out from below and grabbed the Queen Mother of the West in her arms.
"teacher!"
Upon seeing that the Queen Mother of the West was dead, the female immortal could not help but weep.
The visitor was none other than the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
In the distance, dozens more immortals appeared, who were the great gods of West Kunlun.
Lu Ya Daoist and Kunwu and other mountain gods were among them.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden stopped crying shortly afterward, looked up at the Sage Zhunti in mid-air, her eyes filled with hatred...
