"Strange."

The voice of Tongtian Sect Hierarch came through.

Yu Yuan immediately turned his head and saw that the Tongtian Sect Hierarch had caught up at some point, but he didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he frowned deeply and stared at Yu Yuan, speaking in a low voice: "Why is there an aura of Heavenly Dao on you?"

"Heavenly Dao?"

Yu Yuan somewhat didn't understand the meaning of his words.

Seeing his bewildered look, the Tongtian Sect Hierarch did not intend to explain. He just faintly sneered and said: "It seems the decree was not wrong, there are indeed secrets hidden within you!"

Yu Yuan's eyebrows knitted together, realizing that the 'Reverse Action' BUFF on him might have tipped off his pursuer.

In response, he loudly shouted, interrupting the attention of the Tongtian Sect Hierarch.

"It seems the Saint's pursuit is indeed relentless! However, the place I'm going next, it would be wise for you not to follow!"

After saying this, Yu Yuan immediately activated the Chaos Bell, tearing open space and swiftly passing through the spatial portal.

"Hmph, within these Three Realms and among the Five Elements, is there any place that this Hierarch cannot go to?"

The Tongtian Sect Hierarch snorted coldly and immediately tore through space to give chase.

At this moment, Yu Yuan was like a frantically fleeing rabbit, and the Tongtian Sect Hierarch was like a relentless hunting hound.

During the chase, Yu Yuan didn't know how many times he opened spatial gates, nor was he clear on how many billions of miles he had shifted.

It wasn't until after another space transit that he forcefully stopped.

Standing on a cloud, he looked far ahead and saw a majestic and towering Divine Mountain standing between heaven and earth; the cliff shaped like a crouching Qilin at the main peak of the Divine Mountain appeared incredibly spectacular and magnificent.

The cliff was filled with a thousand ancient cypresses, ten thousand sturdy bamboos, fragrant flowers exhaling their scent, and Yao Grass presenting its auspiciousness.

Qingyun's violet smoke condensed into auspicious mists, with the Heavenly Palace standing atop it.

The essence Qi of Yuquan was lingering around, with the auspicious light of the sun and the moon shining brightly.

The fragrance of Innate Spiritual Energy greeted the nostrils.

The Yuqing Fortune Light soared into the sky.

This place was the foremost Immortal Realm holy land of Primordial times, Kunlun Mountain!

The cliff at the summit of the main peak was the legendary Qilin Cliff, which was said to have formed after the demise of the Qilin.

And the Tao Palace upon Qilin Cliff was naturally the Yuxu Palace, the Dao Field of the Chan Sect's Sect Hierarch, the Heavenly Venerate Yuanshi Tianzun!

This was Yu Yuan's first visit to Kunlun Mountain, and also his first view of the infinitely scenic Qilin Cliff, as well as the grand Yuxu Palace.

However, he had no time now to admire the beautiful scenery of the Saint's Dao Field, as the Tongtian Sect Hierarch had already caught up.

Once the Tongtian Sect Hierarch came through the space and saw the Qilin Cliff, he was visibly stunned for a moment. His previously ferocious gaze instantly regained a bit of clarity, becoming more gentle once again.

Yu Yuan knew his master had wrestled control back from the evil corpse.

Nonetheless, this didn't interrupt his plan.

His plan was simple.

That was to find an opponent on par with the Tongtian Sect Hierarch and take the opportunity to escape while they battled each other.

At once, he mustered his breath and, without hesitation, shouted towards the direction of Yuxu Palace: "Tongtian Sect Hierarch of Jie Sect is here, Yuanshi Tianzun, come out and take your beating!"

This shout was earth-shattering, and all living beings within tens of thousands of miles heard it clearly.

Then they all stood frozen in place.

Even the Tongtian Sect Hierarch, the person involved, was stunned.

However, he quickly understood Yu Yuan's intention and glared at him irritably, "You're making a farce..."

Yu Yuan spread his hands, "This is a helpless act from your disciple."

The Tongtian Sect Hierarch wanted to say more, but his eyes once again showed a hint of ferocity.

He knew he could lose control again at any moment, allowing the evil corpse to dominate and continue the pursuit of Yu Yuan, so he promptly nodded: "Let's proceed with your plan."

With that said, taking advantage of the evil corpse's slow reaction, he directly turned and charged towards Yuxu Palace.

The Yuxu Palace, as the Saint's Dao Field, was vast and boundless, like a Great Thousand World.

The sky was filled with floating auspicious clouds and myriad streams of auspicious light, along with layers of auspicious Qi; the ground was paved with white jade, spotlessly clean, and immaculate.

Everything was incredibly beautiful, more like an Immortal Realm than those described in legends.

In the center, on the Eight Diagrams Platform, a figure sat cross-legged on a cloud bed, radiating boundless light, obscured by surging Chaotic Qi.

Suddenly, an earth-shattering noise erupted outside the Yuxu Palace.

"Tongtian Sect Hierarch of Jie Sect is here, Yuanshi Tianzun, come out and take your beating!"

Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes snapped open, his face full of surprise.

The Three Treasures Ruyi gently swayed in his hands, pulsating slowly in an extremely mysterious rhythm.

He subconsciously wanted to deduce the cause and effect, to calculate the underpinning connections.

However, the next instant, his eyes widened, and he flashed to the entrance of Yuxu Palace, his hand gripping the Three Treasures Ruyi and fiercely striking it forward.

"Bang!"

The Three Treasures Ruyi collided with the Qingping Sword.

The collision of the two supreme Innate Spiritual Treasures immediately unleashed a terrifying shockwave.

In that moment, Heaven and Earth convulsed, the void trembled, the sun and moon dimmed, and the stars fell.

Countless beings cowered on the ground, praying for the mercy of Heaven and Earth.

Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and anger, yet his face remained as cold as usual. He spoke in a cold voice: "Tongtian, what is the meaning of this?"

At this moment, the Tongtian Sect Hierarch was under the control of the evil corpse. He certainly realized he had been tricked.

If he honestly explained the reasons at this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun might even help him capture Yu Yuan.

Yet the Tongtian Sect Hierarch was, after all, proud!
