Chapter 705: Chapter 705

A moment later, Yu Yuan turned around, a flash of radiance between his brows revealing a resolute expression.

"Attack! Attack immediately!"

Yu Yuan's words were terse and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

Wen Zhong was taken aback for a moment, then his face showed an irrepressible joy, while the Yuyi Immortal and Liu Huan exchanged glances, also showing no objection.

They knew that this was a good opportunity to send troops, only that without the mainstay of Yu Yuan, and distrusting Wen Zhong, they didn't want to take the risk.

They were all of profound Dao Xing, having witnessed many blood-stained storms, and knew that opportunity and risk often lay on a knife's edge.

However, now that Yu Yuan had returned, all hesitations and concerns seemed trivial.

Wen Zhong nodded emphatically, joyfully saying: "Since Elder Brother has given the command, we shall act immediately! At the latest by tomorrow, the army will depart from the city! Heading towards Chaoge, to slay the demons!"

Yu Yuan gave a slight smile, giving him an affirmative look.

Wen Zhong no longer hesitated, immediately issuing the command to deploy the troops.

As his voice fell, the fifty thousand elite troops beneath the city awoke like a sharpened blade, suddenly unleashing a thunderous intent to battle, a chilling aura of slaughter coalescing in the air.

Banners fluttered, and horns resounded to the skies.

Yu Yuan stepped on the void, heading towards the Treasure Hall by the banks of the Huai River.

The setting sun's afterglow reflected upon him, casting his shadow great and tall.

Standing by the entrance of the Golden Spirit Saint Mother's Treasure Hall were two glaze-carved dragon-shaped Auspicious Beasts, translucent and in the golden glow appearing solemn and mysterious. The gates were half-open, revealing the warm lights inside and the faint scent of tranquility.

Yu Yuan called out in a deep voice: "Master."

Inside the Treasure Hall, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, meditating with closed eyes, was surrounded by a radiant aura tens of thousands of feet broad, like a bright Taiyang, clear and flawlessly bright. She felt a familiar aura approaching, slowly opened her eyes, her gaze showing tenderness and relief.

"It's good that you've returned." The Golden Spirit Saint Mother's voice arose,

Along with her voice, the figure of the Golden Spirit Saint Mother slowly appeared within the door. She was dressed in a silver Magic Robe and donned the Nine Heavens Immortal Crown, her posture like the hometown's Bright Moon, exuding a serene, ethereal aura at all times and places.

She took a few steps forward, looking at Yu Yuan, with unconcealable relief and affection in her eyes.

Yu Yuan bowed in a salute, steadying his emotions before speaking: "Master, your Disciple has returned with enlightenments and gains."

The Golden Spirit Saint Mother nodded slightly, looking at Yu Yuan as if she could see through the profound and vast power of Heaven and Earth harbored within him.

"Within the Three Realms, only you could advance so steadily!"

She approached Yu Yuan, gently raised her hand to smooth his hair, and chuckled lightly: "Now that you have restored the Chaos Bell, I fear there's no one within the Three Realms who could be your opponent!"

The Golden Spirit Saint Mother carefully scrutinized Yu Yuan, sensing the vast strength flowing within him. It was a treasured experience gained through countless trials and tribulations.

"By the way, how did you escape from your grandmaster's clutches?"

The voice of the Golden Spirit Saint Mother was melodious like an Ancient Zither, yet couldn't hide her curiosity and astonishment.

Yu Yuan's gaze flickered, his thoughts seemingly returning to that heart-stopping chase.

"Speaking of that, it was really thanks to the help of those few Saints..."

He particularly talked about Yuanshi Tianzun being forced to take action, while he briefly mentioned the help from Zhunti and Nuwa, without going into details.

Although Yu Yuan described it lightly, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother knew just how dangerous it had been.

This disciple surely encountered many dangers, and his unscathed return was extremely fortunate.

Her eyes slightly lifted, her words revealing a trace of doubt: "Zhunti and Nuwa, these two exalted Saints have also lent their assistance, such deep affection and generosity cannot easily be offered without reason. Yu Yuan, do you know why they helped?"

Yu Yuan remained silent for a moment, his gaze steady as he watched his master, "The Saints act of their own accord, with reasons of their own; I am also at a loss for words right now."

Golden Spirit Saint Mother nodded lightly, her eyes shining like divine light within the Moon Palace, illuminating the endless mortal world, their depths hiding a brilliance as if she had seen through all the splendors of the world. She spoke slowly: "You're not wrong. The intertwining cause and effect in this world is not something ordinary people can comprehend.

Since Nuwa Saint has the intention to protect you, this is also a good thing for you, so there's no need to overthink it.

As for Saint Zhunti..."

She did not say much, but the hesitation in her words already informed Yu Yuan that she did not have a high regard for this Saint.

Nevertheless, Yu Yuan had different feelings in his heart.

At this time, Golden Spirit Saint Mother spoke up, her gaze flickering with deep thought.

She turned to look out the window, where the night sky seemed to tremble slightly.

Golden Spirit Saint Mother's expression showed hesitation, as if she was silently pondering something in her heart.

Her gaze paused on Yu Yuan for a moment, and finally, she spoke slowly: "I thought of a method, perhaps it can solve your grandmaster's problem.

This method, although difficult to implement, if successful, can surely lead to the return of Sect Hierarch Tongtian to his original state."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuan's heart tightened, feeling a glimmer of hope.

He eagerly asked: "What method?"

"Time Reversal, returning to one's original simplicity."

Golden Spirit Saint Mother spoke solemnly: "As long as we can send your grandmaster back to the past, then everything will be manageable."

Yu Yuan furrowed his brows.

He was very familiar with the divine skill of Time Reversal; if he were willing, he could easily regress a Taiyi Golden Immortal back to infancy!

But the problem was that Sect Hierarch Tongtian was a true Saint - how could such divine skills have any effect on a true Saint?

However, he also understood that his master's words were not without aim.

Indeed, Golden Spirit Saint Mother then gazed intently at Yu Yuan, her eyes as gentle and profound as stars, "With the Power of Saint, one can move Heaven and Earth, changing the sequence of time.

If we could ask a Saint for help and combine it with the power of your Innate Treasure, the Chaos Bell, perhaps we could assist your grandmaster in reversing time, returning to his former state."

Yu Yuan's brow wrinkled slightly, knowing the difficulties and twists within this process. Finding a Saint to help was as hard as ascending to the heavens, not to mention they do not readily intervene in worldly matters.

He looked at Golden Spirit Saint Mother's silhouette, mulling over in his heart that if he wanted Sect Hierarch Tongtian to return to his original state, he indeed needed a Saint's intervention. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩

Thinking of this, he had a sudden idea, remembering the connection he once had in the Ancient Era with the Holy Mother of Earth - Houtu, the previous incarnation of Saint Houtu Ancestor Witch, who had mentioned owing him a favor. Perhaps he could ask Houtu to repay this debt on her behalf.

He took a deep breath, looking at Golden Spirit Saint Mother and said, "Master, I just thought of a possibility. A favor owed to me by Saint Houtu in the Underworld may..."

Golden Spirit Saint Mother paused for a moment, then turned around, her gaze sharply fixed on Yu Yuan. After a moment, she spoke softly: "Saint Houtu? That innate Earth Saint, you think you can invite her to help based on a past favor?"

Yu Yuan nodded, "Master, although the favor is minor, she promised it herself. If we don't try, we might lose this opportunity forever. I am willing to make the attempt."

Golden Spirit Saint Mother looked at Yu Yuan for a long time and finally nodded slightly.

"Very well, since there's this connection, we might as well give it a try. But be extremely careful, such Saints wield limitless power and their divine intent is unpredictable."

Yu Yuan calmed the ripples in his mind, bowed to his master, and set off on his journey to the Underworld.
