Chapter 561: Chapter 561

"Daoist Ancestor Hongjun directly left the others aside, focusing solely on speaking to Wang Yang."

"However, the Power of the Great Dao you displayed at the end, you have not fully mastered it, hence the collapse of that world."

"Once you fully master that kind of power of the Great Dao, you will be able to freely shape a minor world,

Moreover, it would be a minor world that possesses many Great Daos."

After leaving the Far North, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun had come straight here, having clearly observed the process of Wang Yang intertwining the Great Daos.

That is precisely why he made such a comment."

However, this kind of comment would sound different to others.

Particularly, the Leader of the Tongtian Sect and Empress Nuwa looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

What had the Ancestral Master just said? Did he say that at the time he was a Sage, he was not as good as Wang Yang?

The three of them felt their minds buzzing, their faces filled with disbelief.

The impact was greatest on Jieyin, who wondered what kind of person he had been opposing in the past!

A being as powerful as the Ancestral Master?

Stronger than the Ancestral Master when he had reached the state of a Sage?

"Thank you, Ancestral Master!"

Wang Yang ignored the thoughts of the other Sages and responded with sincere gratitude to Hongjun after hearing his words.

"You’ve made such a big scene to summon me here, now, if there are any issues, you may ask!"

After commenting on Wang Yang, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun looked at the group of Sages before him with a smile.

However, it must be said that their approach was indeed correct.

Even if he hadn’t merged with the celestial Way and wanted to do some things, surely he would have had to check the space they exploded.

"Honorable Master, the Demon Clan has re-emerged from the Dark Demon Realm, intending to provoke a great calamity in the Three Realms."

"There are also the previously unseen King Taiyou, Prison-Suppressing King, Demon King, and Demon King Pishaman, plus a Demon Ancestor who has never shown himself."

"How should we respond?"

The Leader of the Tongtian Sect stepped forward to ask, and Empress Nuwa and the others also nodded earnestly, showing their greatest concern.

"The Demon Clan’s resurgence is somewhat related to me. King Taiyou and others come from beyond the heavens, they are not from our Three Realms, which is why you have not heard of them."

"As for the Demon Ancestor, hehe, I do indeed know him."

Upon hearing Daoist Ancestor Hongjun say so, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

If he knew the Demon Ancestor, wouldn’t that mean the resurgence of the Demon Clan posed no great threat to them? With the Ancestral Master here, no great ripples could arise in the Three Realms.

However, Wang Yang, unlike the rest, grew even more worried.

"I know what you are thinking, but you are quite mistaken."

"Gather the Sages of the Three Realms; assemble at Golden Turtle Island, I have something to say."

Seeing the expressions of those before him, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun understood their thoughts, but this time it was different from before.

His request for them to go back and gather all Sages of the Three Realms was also for their own good.

Wang Yang, who was already prepared, was the first to reply when Daoist Ancestor Hongjun spoke.

The others, taken aback, also immediately realized that there was a change in the situation.

Their hearts instantly tensed up, and they hurriedly answered in affirmation.

The various Sages began gathering all the Sages of the Three Realms, not just those present, but also Houtu and Zhurong from the Shamanic Tribe, Kong Xuan at the Southern Immortal Volcano - the Dark Cloud Immortal from the Cutting Teachings Sect.

And in Dongshen Shenzhou, there was also the Holy Saint Taiqing, Master Xuandu, and Shennong.

The remaining Sages of the Expounding Teachings Sect were on the Far East Island.

When they all gathered, what a tremendous force it would be,

The various Sages continuously sent telepathic messages; those who could not be reached via telepathy were directly visited to relay the message.

In just half a day, all the Sages of the Three Realms were present at Golden Turtle Island.

The Holy Saint Taiqing and Yuanshi celestial Venerable certainly did not wish to come to Golden Turtle Island; their desire to avoid worldly affairs was precisely to avoid this calamity of the Three Realms, but with Daoist Ancestor Hongjun appearing, they dared not abstain.

Within the Biyou Palace on Golden Turtle Island, all seated were Sages.

Yuanshi celestial Venerable led the Expounding Teachings Sect’s True One Jade Void, South Pole Elderly Immortal, Yun Zhongzi, Red Fairy, and Xuanyuan.

The Holy Saint Taiqing brought along Master Xuandu and Shennong.

Buddhism had only two Sages, Jieyin, and Guanyin Bodhisattva.

From Wa Huang Palace, Fuxi also arrived, sitting together with Empress Nuwa and Bai Ze.

The Shamanic Tribe had Houtu, Gonggong, Zhu Long, and Xingtian, while the Phoenix was accompanied by Kong Xuan.

In New Buddhism, Xuanzang and Sun Wukong also appeared here.

There were not many Quasi-Saints from the Cutting Teachings Sect, including the Leader of the Tongtian Sect, Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Dark Cloud Immortal, and Zhao Gongming, who had suppressed his own power before the great war between the sects and finally succeeded in stepping into the realm of Quasi-Saints.

As for Haotian and Yaochi, the original rulers of the celestial Court, they did not appear here.

For a time, the Three Realms gathered twenty-three Quasi-Saints and five avatars of Saints here.

"We have seen Daoist Ancestor Hongjun!"

After Hongjun made his appearance, everyone stood up and paid their respects.

Hongjun unequivocally took the chief seat at the Biyou Palace, allowing everyone else to sit down.

Yuanshi celestial Venerable and Saint Taiqing also took their seats, wanting to know what arrangements Daoist Ancestor Hongjun had for calling them here.

"The Great Calamity of the Three Realms is upon us, with demons from the Dark Demon Realm and those from beyond the heavens."

"None of us should underestimate them!"

"Moreover, this great calamity of the Three Realms will indeed cause the fall of a Saint!"

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun started with such words, startling everyone.

It had been countless years since the six ascended to Saintliness in the Primordial Continent, and none had fallen in the meantime.

The concept of a Saint’s fall was too remote for them.

"The mastermind behind the demons, the brother of the Ancestral Demon Luohou, was Daoist Yang Mei. He ventured into the void beyond the heavens and cultivated a level of demon arts that could rival creation itself, making even me unable to subdue him."

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun spoke to everyone, indifferent to how they might feel after hearing this.

"Because of this, he and I made an agreement."

"He will not rashly enter the Three Realms, but I cannot interfere with the Great Calamity of the Three Realms."

"Therefore, this ordeal requires cooperation from all of you. Set aside past grievances and schemes. If we cannot overcome this calamity, the Three Realms will cease to exist, and your grievances will be meaningless."

When saying this, Hongjun specifically glanced at Yuanshi celestial Venerable and Saint Taiqing.

The feud between the Three Teachings had lasted a long time, and how could Hongjun not be aware?

This was both a reminder and a warning to them.

"I have used the Power of the celestial Way to seal some of the strength of the extraterrestrial demons, they might only have about fifty percent of their original strength, which will also be your opportunity."

"In the coming time, I will devote myself to mending the celestial Way and might not be able to appear again."

"The path ahead is up to you."

Hongjun sighed somewhat. If not for Daoist Yang Mei, the demons of the Three Realms would be merely toys for them to practice on.

But with Yang Mei involved, who would win and who would lose was still uncertain.

"Honorable Master, why not let our avatars as Saints descend to the lower realm and utterly annihilate these demons!"

"Without their disruption, the Three Realms will surely be safe and sound!"

Saint Taiqing suggested.

This was also a probe; if they could allow the avatars of Saints to descend, his first act might be to capture Wang Yang and claim the World Embryo inside him.

Then, nurturing the World Embryo, what need would there be for the Three Realms?

Wherever he went, Saint Taiqing himself would be the new sovereign of the Three Realms.

"If the power of a Saint freely flows, I fear the Three Realms might perish even faster!"

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun glared at Saint Taiqing.

Saint Taiqing no longer spoke, feeling that Daoist Ancestor Hongjun was targeting him.

"Ancestral Master, what if we used power that surpasses that of a Quasi-Saint?" Phoenix asked.

After all, they still had Wang Yang, a mighty weapon capable of harnessing power that surpasses that of a Quasi-Saint.

"Pfff, power that surpasses a Quasi-Saint, haha."

Yuanshi celestial Venerate was very disdainful, to him, it seemed impossible.

Hongjun glanced at Wang Yang and nodded, agreeing with Phoenix’s statement.

Yuanshi celestial Venerate was taken aback, not expecting Hongjun to actually think they could release power surpassing that of Quasi-Saints.

"Everyone go back and prepare. This time, the Great Calamity of the Three Realms is not just a matter of the Various Sects, but concerns the entire Three Realms!"

Hongjun looked at the many Quasi-Saints, his expression solemn.

If not handled well, the Three Realms could vanish into the ether.
