Yi Zhou wore a black and white Daoist robe, looking very simple.
His face was as jade, his lips red and teeth white, like a young Daoist, possessing an air of leisure and detachment.
Jun Xiaoyao met with Yi Zhou, and the two drank tea in an ancient pavilion.
"Congratulations, Young Emperor. After this time at the Gate of Origin."
"In the entire Origin Universe, there will no longer be anyone of the same generation who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you," Yi Zhou said.
"Brother Yi is too kind. However, I do have a question," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Yi Zhou's expression paused slightly, then he said, "Is it possible that the Young Emperor wishes to ask about the throne of origin?"
Jun Xiaoyao picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "Exactly."
"Shenji Tower holds the authority over the origin gold ranking."
"And the origin gold ranking is related to the Opportunity within the Gate of Origin."
"Now that such an unexpected event has occurred with the throne of origin, it is quite puzzling."
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Yi Zhou's expression tightened slightly.
He suddenly smiled and said, "By saying this, Young Emperor, are you suspecting my Shenji Tower?"
Jun Xiaoyao chuckled, "Brother Yi, that is not the case. I am merely expressing some confusion."
"I wonder if Brother Yi could enlighten me?"
Yi Zhou shook his head slightly and said, "To be honest, when I learned about the matter regarding the throne of origin, I was also surprised and did not expect it."
"Although my Shenji Tower claims to calculate all heavenly secrets, Young Emperor, please do not think that my Shenji Tower can predict everything and foresee the future."
"If my Shenji Tower had such ability, we would have unified the world long ago."
Yi Zhou's words were half-joking.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were deep; he said nothing, only smiling as he said, "Even Shenji Tower does not know."
"It seems there truly is a secret behind that throne of origin."
"If the Young Emperor requires it, I can return to Shenji Tower afterward to investigate."
"Although I cannot guarantee what clues might be obtained, at least I can try," Yi Zhou said.
"Then many thanks, Brother Yi." Jun Xiaoyao raised his teacup.
Afterward, the two conversed for a while.
Yi Zhou took his leave.
Watching Yi Zhou's retreating figure, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were very deep.
"Yi Zhou, Zhou Yi."
"What kind of role does Shenji Tower actually play?"
Jun Xiaoyao fell into deep thought.
On the other side, in Sansheng Hall.
Because of the matter of Ji Taisui's fall.
The entire Sansheng Hall had fallen into a chaotic argument.
Some said they must seek justice for Ji Taisui and make the Yun Sheng Imperial Palace pay the price.
Others said that this was a troubled time, and since the Blood Moon Calamity had not yet been resolved, they should not stir up an immortal war.
If a great war were to break out between ultimate factions, it would be no small matter, and the entire Origin Universe would be affected.
And right in the midst of this chaotic argument.
The three great heads of Sansheng Hall finally issued an order.
Focus on the matter of the Blood Moon Calamity; there is no need to discuss other matters.
This order stirred up quite a bit of discussion within Sansheng Hall.
Of course, hindered by the majesty of the three great heads, no one dared to discuss it openly.
But they were all discussing it in private.
The three great heads did not seem to care too much about the fall of Ji Taisui.
It was as if Ji Taisui were a tool, and his death meant nothing.
Deep within Sansheng Hall, in the Ancestral Hall.
A peerless woman, quiet, beautiful, and ethereal, sat cross-legged on a prayer mat.
Beneath a blue stone, she Cultivated and prayed.
The woman wore a simple plain garment, her dark hair tied up and draped over her fragrant shoulders, her figure beautiful and graceful.
Her skin was as white as milk, containing divine radiance within.
Her face was peerlessly beautiful and flawless, her lips red without lipstick, her eyebrows dark without being drawn.
She was Priestess Yuan Ruyi.
After the Gate of Origin, Ji Taisui fell.
As a priestess, Priestess Yuan Ruyi clearly felt that the pressure was a bit high.
Clearly, some burdens had been placed upon her.
Honestly, Priestess Yuan Ruyi did not think she was a match for Jun Xiaoyao.
"Such a figure has simply never appeared in historical records of the past."
Priestess Yuan Ruyi lifted her head, revealing her elegantly curved jaw.
She sighed in her heart.
To be born in this great era is indeed a tragedy.
Everyone will become a foil to Jun Xiaoyao.
That is a great mountain that is difficult to climb over.
"Who else can stand shoulder to shoulder with him?"
Priestess Yuan Ruyi gazed at the three lives stone enshrined on the platform.
And just at this moment, she seemed to see the three lives stone tremble slightly.
"How..."
Priestess Yuan Ruyi blinked her eyes.
Could it be that her eyes were playing tricks on her?
However, the next moment, the three lives stone was indeed trembling slightly.
At the same time, it was faintly glowing with purple light.
Streaks of Hongmeng Purple Qi seemed to turn into small purple dragons, entwining the three lives stone.
"This is..."
Seeing this, Priestess Yuan Ruyi's pupils suddenly constricted.
She was not unfamiliar with this aura.
It was precisely Hongmeng Purple Qi, which was also the energy possessed by Ji Taisui's Primordial Dao Body.
"What is going on?"
Priestess Yuan Ruyi looked surprised.
How did Ji Taisui's Hongmeng Purple Qi manifest on the three lives stone?
And what surprised her even more was yet to come.
Because the three lives stone was faintly shining, and a purple sapling vaguely appeared within it.
It was precisely a Primordial Tree sapling!
"How could this be? Why have Ji Taisui's things returned to the three lives stone?"
Priestess Yuan Ruyi covered her red lips with her jade hand, unable to believe the scene before her.
The three lives stone was a sacred object enshrined by Sansheng Hall.
It had always been very mysterious.
As for its origin, no one knew, because this was a forbidden secret.
I am afraid only the three great heads know something about it.
Even she, the priestess who enshrined the three lives stone day and night, actually knew nothing about the three lives stone.
"No, could it be that Ji Taisui's Primordial Dao Body might have been obtained from the three lives stone itself?"
Priestess Yuan Ruyi suddenly thought of this point.
She looked at the three lives stone again.
She discovered that the green three lives stone seemed to have faintly turned into a translucent, glass-like state.
Profound imprints emerged and circulated on the surface of the three lives stone.
If Jun Xiaoyao were here, he would certainly not be unfamiliar with it.
Because those imprints were precisely the Three Lives Reincarnation Seal that appeared on Lu Yuan, Chen Xuan, Long Qingxuan, and others!
And within the three lives stone, there was still endless Power Of Faith circulating.
It was all the Power Of Faith condensed from countless people enshrining and worshipping the three lives stone for so many years.
Within it, Priestess Yuan Ruyi actually saw a faint and hazy figure.
It was a blurred human form, located within the three lives stone, like a god gestating in a placenta.
Power Of Faith, Three Lives Reincarnation Seal, Hongmeng Purple Qi, Primordial Tree saplings, and so on.
All were providing nourishment for it.
And the trembling of the three lives stone seemed to be because the figure within it appeared to be about to come out.
"How could it be like this..."
Priestess Yuan Ruyi's heart was stirred with stormy waves.
The sacred object of Sansheng Hall, the three lives stone that had been enshrined for a long time.
It was actually gestating a transcendent existence within it!
This was simply unimaginable!
If spoken aloud, I fear everyone else in Sansheng Hall would be incomparably shocked.
Priestess Yuan Ruyi suppressed the shock in her heart.
She looked at the figure within the three lives stone.
It really seemed as if it were gestating a young god.
It had not yet come into the world.
Just that faint aura was enough to make Priestess Yuan Ruyi feel a sense of suffocation.
It was as if she were facing an invincible god!
And from the faint trembling of the three lives stone, it could be seen.
The existence within it might really come into the world before long.
A thought suddenly appeared in Priestess Yuan Ruyi's heart.
If this transcendent existence within the three lives stone really appeared in the world.
Would it have the ability to compete with Jun Xiaoyao?
