Chapter 2: My Return, heaven and earth’s ups and downs!
“……”
At the same time, Sanqing, Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, Nuwa, Fuxi, Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi, and others here first frowned.
There was complete stillness in the room, not a sound to be heard!
What surprised everyone the most was the sudden appearance of a figure on Buzhou Mountain.
What shocked Sanqing and the others the most was that although that figure didn’t seem to possess any cultivation level, a mysterious and majestic, ancient and profound aura surrounded him, making everyone struggle to breathe!
Sanqing held the highest cultivation level in the room, reaching Da Luo Jinxian’s pinnacle. If a real confrontation were to occur, Sanqing would undoubtedly be the ultimate victor.
Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, Nuwa, Fuxi, Hongyun, and Zhenyuanzi also had respectable cultivation levels and could compete for their opportunity. Initially, seven innate gourds were hanging from the Innate Gourd Vine, but even after excluding the powerful individuals lurking nearby, this number was still insufficient to share among them.
The appearance of this mysterious figure had once again heightened the tension in the room…
For a moment, the auras of Sanqing and the others subtly connected as they became increasingly vigilant. Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Nuwa, Fuxi, Hongyun, and Zhenyuanzi formed their camp, also on guard.
After a while, the mysterious figure remained motionless, which only increased the nervousness of Sanqing and the others.
“Young one pays respects to this senior…”
In an attempt to break the silence, Laozi cautiously spoke, bowing respectfully to the figure and inquiring with great care. In Laozi’s eyes, this person was already regarded as a hidden and formidable entity, hence his careful choice of words.
“…”
The figure did not respond, with closed eyes and a still presence that could easily be mistaken for transcendence.
Seeing the lack of response, Laozi grew somewhat uneasy and embarrassed.
“Hmph, regardless of who he is! We have sensed an opportunity that belongs to us; we shall take what is rightfully ours!”
Heavenly Lord, known for his fiery temper, decided to speak out and reprimand the mysterious figure who had not shown respect to his elder brother.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Heavenly Lord had spoken, Laozi quickly shouted, “Third brother, cease being disrespectful!”
In Laozi’s view, they knew nothing about the figure’s true identity. If he happened to be a reclusive and powerful being from the primordial era, it would be unwise to provoke him.
Seeing the reprimand, the Heavenly Lord could only suppress his anger and step aside. Donghuang Taiyi, however, couldn’t tolerate the situation any longer. He looked disdainfully at Sanqing and then stood up boldly. Impatiently, he declared to the figure, “Stop playing mysterious! Regardless of who you are, I’ve decided to claim this opportunity!”
Donghuang Taiyi, the self-proclaimed Emperor of the Yao Clan, was proud and unyielding, paying little regard to others. He was determined to seize an opportunity for himself.
After uttering these words, Donghuang Taiyi took the initiative, reached out his hand, and employed his divine powers to grab one of the innate gourds. At the same time, Emperor Jun, standing nearby, had readied his elemental powers, prepared to summon the supreme innate treasures, the River Chart and Luo Book, to protect Donghuang Taiyi’s path because Di Jun had a feeling that the two brothers should have a destiny somewhere!
The next moment, just as Donghuang Taiyi was about to approach the Primordial Gourd Vine, the other great powers present couldn’t restrain their urge to make a move.
However, above the mysterious figure, dust drifted down, and auras emanated, interweaving into an unparalleled, horrifying force that shook the heavens and tore apart visible space!
Instantly, the bodies of Sanqing and others present were suddenly pressed down by a tremendous force!
Under this intermingling aura, even quasi-saints had to lower their heads!
Amidst the pervasive aura, a disjointed voice soon echoed: “Who awakened me…”
This voice was filled with age and hoarseness.
Following the voice, Mount Buzhou rumbled, and the terrifying power and aura became even more pronounced!
The mysterious figure slowly opened his eyes. In an instant, a brilliant light burst forth from his eyes, shaking the starry sky and heavens, reducing the vast expanse of the universe to nothingness, exuding an unparalleled terror!
With a bang, Donghuang Taiyi hadn’t even reached the Primordial Gourd Vine when he was suddenly sent flying.
Donghuang Taiyi, who was directly involved, felt like he had collided with an invisible wall when he neared the Primordial Gourd Vine and was abruptly repelled!
Hiss!
This sudden turn of events left everyone gasping for breath, their eyes wide open in astonishment. Donghuang Taiyi was no slouch in terms of cultivation, rarely encountering equals in the ranks of Da Luo Jinxian. Yet, he had been forcefully repelled!
From start to finish, the mysterious figure had not moved a muscle!
It was purely due to the emanation of his aura that he had sent Donghuang Taiyi, a Da Luo Jinxian, flying!
The power and presence of this figure were beyond terrifying!
Even the peak quasi-saints couldn’t withstand it, could they?!!
As countless great supernatural beings were immersed in shock, the figure displayed a moment of confusion as he opened his eyes.
He seemed to be recollecting…
When it swept across, his gaze tore through the heavens and earth, annihilating all visible space and exuding an incomprehensible and terrifying force. In an instant, the void and heavens crumbled, multiple universes collapsed, and Mount Buzhou quaked madly!
After a moment of recollection, he gradually regained his clarity. “I remember now, this is the world of the prehistoric…”
“I am Ye Xiu, hailing from another world. Before the creation of the universe, during the primal chaos, I assisted Pangu in opening up the world when he battled three thousand demonic gods. In the end, exhausted, he sought my help, and I infused an endless stream of sword qi into his Primordial Divine Axe, aiding Pangu in creating the world of Honghuang!”
“I withdrew from worldly affairs, took refuge in Mount Buzhou, severed my realm, sealed my cultivation, and devoted myself to cultivation, striving to break through the boundaries of the Hunyuan realm…”
“Now that I am awake… I will again take charge of this world, rule over all living beings, and rise and fall eternally!”

Rumble…
