Reborn Shang Zhou, angry at the sage Nuwa at the beginning

"Thank you for your frankness, Ancestor. I will handle this matter and will never allow the Primordial Celestial Venerable's conspiracy to succeed."

Di Xin turned and walked towards the warship: "The seal of the Avici Hell still needs the Ancestor to guard it. If there is any unusual activity, notify me immediately."

Upon returning to Zhenxuan Mountain, Di Xin immediately summoned the leaders of various races in the Three Realms Council and told them what the Ancestor of the Underworld had said.

The Jade Emperor's face turned ashen: "Yuanshi Tianzun is one of the Three Pure Ones, how could he commit such a treasonous act? This must be a slander by the Ancestor of the Underworld!"

"Jade Emperor, even now, are you still favoring the gods?"

The Azure Phoenix Fairy said angrily, "The conspiracy of the Investiture of the Gods back then, and the connection with the invasion of the Heavenly Demons today, all signs indicate that the Primordial Heavenly Lord is not as righteous as he appears on the surface!"

Master Qingxu looked pained: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and cannot be concluded based solely on the words of Ancestor Mingyuan. I am willing to go to the headquarters of the Chan Sect and ask my master for clarification in person."

Di Xin pondered for a moment: "Very well. Daoist Qingxu, please go to the Chan Sect. If Yuanshi Tianzun really has a conspiracy, you must find out the truth; if what the Mingyuan Ancestor said is untrue, you must also clear Yuanshi Tianzun's name."

Master Qingxu bowed and accepted the order, then turned and vanished in a beam of white light. The Three Realms Council fell silent, their expressions varied—some were angry, some doubtful, and some worried.

Di Xin knew,

If this matter is confirmed, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the Three Realms, and may even lead to the gods and the various races of the Three Realms going to war again.

Three days later
When Master Qingxu returned to Zhenxuan Mountain, he looked haggard and had blood on the corner of his mouth, clearly having gone through a fierce battle.

"The Human Emperor,"

He knelt before Di Xin, his eyes filled with pain and guilt, "Master... Master admits it."

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and the Jade Emperor was so shocked that he stood up: "What did you say? The Primordial Heavenly Lord really admitted it?"

"Yes."

Master Qingxu's voice trembled, "After I met with my master, I questioned him about this matter face to face. At first, my master denied it, but after I pressed him for an answer, he finally admitted it."

"Back then, he did deliberately send the fragments of the Netherfire Origin into the outer starry sky to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Lord. His purpose was to use the Heavenly Demon to weaken the strength of the various races in the Three Realms. After the Heavenly Demon and the Three Realms were both exhausted, he would then step in to clean up the mess and dominate the Three Realms. The Investiture of the Gods and the suppression of the Nether Race were both part of his plan."

"Shameless scoundrel!"

The Azure Phoenix Fairy roared, her demonic aura surging, "Today we will storm the Chan Sect and tear the Primordial Heavenly Venerable to pieces!"

"Don't act impulsively!"

Di Xin raised his hand to stop him, a resolute glint in his eyes. "Yuanshi Tianzun is one of the Three Pure Ones, with unfathomable strength, and is protected by many disciples of the Chan Sect. If we go there rashly, we may not gain any advantage. The Three Realms have just suffered a great war and have not yet recovered. If we start a war with the Chan Sect again, it will only give the remnants of the Heavenly Demons an opportunity, which is exactly what Yuanshi Tianzun wants."

The old Buddhist monk clasped his hands together and said, “What the Human Emperor said is absolutely right. Although the Primordial Heavenly Venerable has great ambitions, his conspiracy has now been exposed, and he has become the target of everyone’s criticism. Among the gods, not everyone is in league with him. Perhaps we can win over Laozi and the two Western Saints.”

Di Xin nodded: "What the master said makes sense. Pass on my order that all races in the Three Realms strengthen their vigilance and guard against any unusual movements by the Chan Sect; Jade Emperor, please go to the Tushita Palace of the Supreme Lord Laozi to explain this matter and seek the support of the Supreme Lord Laozi; as for the two Western Saints, I will trouble the Buddhist masters to go to Mount Ling to communicate with them."

“I will personally go to the Chan Sect and confront the Primordial Celestial Venerable face to face. If he is willing to pull back from the brink, return the source of the Netherfire, and disband the Chan Sect, I will spare his life; if he remains obstinate, I will have no choice but to join forces with all the races of the Three Realms to suppress him!”

"As the Emperor commands!"

The crowd responded in unison and departed to carry out the order. Although the Jade Emperor was reluctant, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best to persuade Laozi."

Di Xin rode alone in the Human Emperor Cauldron, flying towards the Jade Void Palace, the headquarters of the Chan Sect. The Jade Void Palace was located atop Kunlun Mountain, shrouded in clouds and mist, exuding an ethereal aura, but compared to its former self, it had gained a more somber and murderous air.

The disciples of the Chan Sect had already learned of the news and, armed with their magical weapons, stood in full battle array outside the palace gates. Leading them was none other than Guang Chengzi, the eldest disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Your Majesty, Master has ordered that no one is allowed to trespass into the Jade Void Palace!"

Holding the Heaven-Turning Seal, Guang Chengzi shouted, "Your Majesty, please return the way you came, or don't blame your disciple for being impolite!"

"Guang Chengzi, I have come here today not to trespass, but to demand an explanation from Yuanshi Tianzun."

Di Xin's voice pierced through the clouds, carrying an undeniable majesty: "Your master, Yuanshi Tianzun, plotted against the Three Realms, cultivated the Heavenly Demon Lord, and caused the deaths of countless lives. Are you aware of this?"

Guang Chengzi's expression changed: "Your Majesty, do not believe the rumors. My master is one of the Three Pure Ones, a man of high virtue and prestige. How could he do such a thing?"

"rumor?"

Di Xin sneered, raised his hand and waved it, causing the Human Emperor Cauldron to emit a golden light screen, projecting the scene of Yuanshi Tianzun admitting to the conspiracy.

"These are the words of your master himself, how could they be false? Guang Chengzi, as the chief disciple of the Chan Sect, you should have a clear distinction between good and evil in your heart. Do you intend to be an accomplice to evil and help the wicked?"

The disciples of the Chan Sect, watching the scene on the light screen, paled and murmured amongst themselves. Guang Chengzi hesitated, the Heaven-Turning Seal in his hand trembling slightly.
"This...this is impossible..."

"Nothing is impossible!"

The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable came from within the Jade Void Palace, carrying a hint of icy anger.

"You brat Shoude, how dare you trespass into my Jade Void Palace and slander me! Today I will make you die here!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

A beam of white light shot out from the Jade Void Palace and hurtled towards Emperor Xin.

Yuanshi Tianzun, dressed in a white Taoist robe and holding the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, slowly walked out of the palace gate, his immortal aura surging and his imposing presence terrifying.

"Di Xin, do you think you can contend with me with the Primordial Chaos Righteous Qi and the Four Swords of Zhuxian?"

Yuanshi Tianzun sneered: "Back then, I was able to scheme against the Jie Sect and suppress the Underworld Clan. Today, I can annihilate you and all the races of the Three Realms!"

"Yuanshi Tianzun, you are stubborn and unrepentant. Don't blame me for being impolite today!"

Di Xin's eyes sharpened, and he raised his hand to unleash the Four Swords of Zhuxian. The four swords transformed into four streams of light, merging with the primordial energy of the Human Emperor Cauldron.

A massive net of swords formed, enveloping the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning's expression changed, and he brandished the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, a white beam of light blocking the sword net:

"The Four Swords of Zhuxian are powerful, but your cultivation is still shallow. How can you unleash their full power? Shoude, today I will show you the difference between gods and mortals!"

He raised his hand and waved it, and countless disciples of the Chan Sect, wielding magical weapons, launched an attack on Di Xin.

Di Xin neither dodged nor evaded; his imperial power surged, and the primordial righteous energy transformed into a golden light barrier, blocking all the attacks from the Chan Sect disciples. (End of Chapter)
