Chapter 499: Chapter 499

"Don't worry, we come back once every millennium, but don't spread the word about Yuqing, remember, remember."

"Rest assured, Master Senior, my lips are sealed."

Upon hearing Nezha's words, Taiqing couldn't resist glancing at him twice. It's not like I don't know how well-practiced you are in the gossip arts, but he didn't say anything, just nodded.

Nezha waited for a moment and seeing that there were no further instructions from Saint Taiqing, he took his leave. He felt this matter had little to do with him, but once he left the Great Red Heaven, he went straight to his teacher's Taisu Heaven.

Saint Taiqing asked him not to spread the word, but his teacher is not an outsider.

Nuwa was also very curious about why Nezha suddenly went to Taiqing. After hearing Nezha recount the entire process, she couldn't help but lie on the cloud bed, slapping the armrest while laughing heartily, "Haha! Yuanshi got drained? This is hilarious."

After laughing for a long time, she shook her head feeling a bit regretful, thinking how interesting it would have been to watch it live!

While Nezha was still gossiping for fun with his teacher, Taiqing seemed to have already informed the Tongtian Sect Master about something. The two brothers were prepared to set off. Taiqing was quite at ease with his one disciple, while the Tongtian Sect Master was looking forward to this journey of chaos with great anticipation. He very casually informed his seven disciples about his departure, and the two Saints embarked on an impromptu journey.

However, they did not completely ignore the matters of the Primordial world. Taiqing left behind Lord Laozi as his True-Self Corpse, and Shangqing left the Evil Corpse Lingbao Tianzun in charge of the Jie Sect.

But since these Saints' corpses are not actual Saints, a Saint saving someone could disregard distance and do it instantly, but a Saint's corpse would be slower. The Jie Sect disciples felt a bit unsettled, having lost their greatest support.

Though Taiqing did nothing in particular, merely he took Shangqing away, yet the pressure fell upon the Western Two Saints.

It wasn't as if they hid their departure when Taiqing and Shangqing left, nor could they hide it. Saints are the Jade Pillars propping up the Primordial Heaven. Now, even with all their wisdom, the two brothers in the West are utterly baffled.

There's no way the Three Pure Ones all leave the Primordial world at the same time without something happening, who would believe that?

As for Nuwa, the Buddha and Dao didn't include her in their plans, so being isolated, she naturally knew nothing.

On Mount Lingshan, within the Infinite Buddha Country, the reclusive Jieyin Saint also unusually left seclusion to discuss with his junior brother.

"Senior Brother, what do you think has caused the three Senior Brothers to leave consecutively?"

Jieyin, with an expression of deep sorrow but a tone that remained calm, replied, "I also don't know, but at our current level, what could possibly attract us?"

Zhunti was inclined to say the Three Pure Ones simply went out for a stroll, but even ghosts wouldn't believe that. The only possibility is an opportunity to advance further.

They didn't know what this opportunity was or even if it existed, but this seemed to be the most reasonable explanation. Yuanshi Tianzun discovered a chance for further advancement and thus summoned his two brothers, which is the most plausible explanation for Taiqing and Shangqing's hasty departure from the Primordial world.

Zhunti upon thinking this got a bit anxious, at this point, who wouldn't want to move further ahead?

"Senior Brother, we..."

Before he could finish, Jieyin Saint interrupted him. Jieyin was perhaps only a tad less serene than Taiqing but was still composed. He unhurriedly said, "Chaos is boundless, even if the three Senior Brothers found an opportunity, in the vast chaos, what could we do? Just wait a while longer."

Saint Zhunti knew his senior brother was right, but he was still somewhat unwilling, so he said, "Then I'll go inquire about it."

Jieyin understood his junior brother's temperament and did not stop him.

It can only be said that Saint Taiqing is indeed formidable. Seemingly doing nothing, he already exerted significant pressure on the Western Two Saints. It's only a matter of time before the Saints leave the Primordial world.

And as for the last remaining Junior Sister Nuwa, Taiqing didn't manage her. It's not for the master to try to get rid of all the Saints, I've taken care of three, leaving you with the most reclusive Junior Sister, which seems quite reasonable, right?

Whether reasonable or not is unknown, but getting someone like Nuwa, who loves to stay at home and watch live streams, to venture into chaos is indeed not easy.

Nezha had no idea that his Master Senior had already laid a trap before leaving. After spending some time in Nuwa Palace, he left and visited Fangcun Mountain once again. The Six Divine Powers were indeed powerful, and Nezha wanted to study with the Master Puti once more. He wished to know whether he could achieve a Saint's power level without becoming a Saint and then deduce his Path to Chaos Origin from there.

Therefore, the practice of the Six Divine Powers was extremely important to Nezha. Although his teacher had similar magic skills, they were Nuwa's innate scriptures. Nuwa's foundation is the Innate Xuan Yin Qi, and Nezha's attributes were too poorly matched with her cultivation techniques. He couldn't very well transform himself into a female immortal, could he?

On the other side, Saint Zhunti went out claiming to investigate the Three Pure Ones' departure from the Primordial world, but who in the entire Primordial world could know the affairs of Saints? Even you, as a Saint, don't know; why ask me, what would I know?

In the end, the information Zhunti gathered was simply that Nezha entered Doushuai Temple, and then Taiqing and Shangqing left. Saint Zhunti inwardly cursed at the luck, realizing the ones he sought were right under his nose!

One day, Nezha was discussing some challenges in Destiny Communication with Master Puti, and after Master Puti patiently explained, he suddenly asked, "Recently, Saints Shangqing and Taiqing left the Primordial world. Nephew, do you know why?"

Nezha immediately leaned back in a tactical retreat, grinning as he replied, "Guess it must be something urgent?"

Master Puti showed no intention of letting Nezha off and continued asking, "What urgent matter?"

Nezha felt a little troubled; he had personally promised Saint Taiqing not to speak of the 'Yuanshi Tianzun being drained' incident. If he leaked it recklessly, he'd offend two people at once.

The best way to handle a question you don't want to answer is to change the topic. This was a little trick Nezha learned from going home for the holidays in his past life!

When Nezha first crossed over, he had drifted a long while amidst the Chaos Pearl fragments (as mentioned at the start of Chapter One). When his cultivation was weak, he could only observe vaguely, but now his cultivation had progressed, and he gained new insights and realizations from past memories. Hence, he posed a question he believed would pique a Saint's interest.

"Uncle, do you know about Outer Chaos and Inner Chaos?"

Nezha believed that chaos was not an independent existence; everything exists in opposition yet unity. Previously, Nezha thought chaos' opposite was the Primordial world representing order, but he now felt this perception was incorrect. Rather than being a representation of order, the Primordial seemed more like the edge of chaos.

It exists as a dynamic transitional zone between order and disorder, able to maintain certain stability while allowing for innovation and adaptive changes, which aligns with the characteristics of the Primordial world.

This state is not unchanging. With the advent of Saints, this dynamic balance has gradually tipped toward order.

Returning to the point, if the Primordial is the edge of chaos, there must be another chaos opposite the current outerly displayed chaos.

Thus, Nezha raised this question.

Bodhi Ancestor was stunned upon hearing this. As a pure Primordial being, even upon reaching the Saint realm, his understanding of chaos was limited. Hearing Nezha, he was a bit perplexed; were there possibly two chaos beyond the current Primordial?

Bodhi Ancestor was bewildered, and upon hearing this question, Saint Zhunti was also perplexed, as was Nuwa, who always watched from a distance. Even the Daoist Ancestor secretly orchestrating everything behind the scenes was bewildered.

The more you know, the more you ponder; this is a small problem of intelligent people. At Nezha's prompting and coaxing, they delved deeper and deeper into thought, and for a moment, all were lost in speculations.

In the end, it was Nuwa who first reacted. What Outer Chaos and Inner Chaos, wasn't this just her disciple bragging?
