Chapter 3275 Falling apart
Zhang Xuezhou had witnessed the magic of Yuanshi Tianzun at Zixiao Palace, and to him at that time, Yuanshi Tianzun was an inhuman being.

Zhang Xuezhou had also witnessed Ao Sheng unleash the magic techniques that Yuanshi Tianzun was skilled in, and he could only say that the effects were worlds apart.

Back then, he had no concept of domains; he simply believed that Yuanshi Tianzun had a high level of cultivation and strong magical abilities. Now, he obviously doesn't have that perception anymore.

"Amazing!"

A single auspicious cloud technique prevented the Primordial Heavenly Venerable from being harmed by evil magic, and the fact that the falling speed was faster than a meteor meant that the opponent was extraordinary in his flying skills.

Leaving aside the other abilities possessed by Yuanshi Tianzun, these two abilities alone have been the object of Zhang Xuezhou's pursuit for nearly twenty years.

In a simple comparison, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he seemed to have no advantage whatsoever in front of such a powerful cultivator.

"All evils disperse!"

The visual observation brought by the gaze has a lag. Before the stream of light that Zhang Xuezhou felt had fallen to the ground, the shout of the Primordial Celestial Venerable had already come from the Jade Emperor Peak.

"Zhu Jiuyin, we have tolerated your evil deeds time and time again because we remembered that you helped our teacher in the past. Who knew that your demonic nature was not eradicated and your evil habits were hard to change?" Yuanshi Tianzun shouted, "This time, you took advantage of the alignment of the seven stars to guide the three secret places of Mount Tai, Heaven, Earth and Man, and tried to destroy us. Your behavior is truly deserving of death. Come out quickly and go to Zixiao Palace to be punished!"

The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable was like a thunderclap, resounding throughout Mount Tai and echoing continuously through the surrounding mountains, spreading far and wide.

"This method will save your life. I will only count to three. If you remain stubborn, you will not be able to rest easy in the future, and you cannot blame us for standing idly by!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning spoke each word extremely slowly, his voice constantly reverberating into the distance and disappearing into the mountains.

As he began the countdown, people from the Celestial Court appeared in the Heavenly Gate passage.

"Sigh, fine, fine. If you want to fight back, then fight back. We won't interfere. Don't blame us when you're skinned alive!"

Yuanshi Tianzun finally sighed, clearly abandoning any consideration for past feelings, and said no more.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun's posture was unlikely to have any effect, since Zhujiuyin was indeed not at Mount Tai, and no matter how deep Yuanshi Tianzun's voice was, it would be difficult to pass through the northern border and cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Amidst the shimmering light that pierces through the Heavenly Gate, one by one, cultivators from the Celestial Court emerge.

It was clear that some people were not used to traversing the Heavenly Gate. By the time they reached the Jade Emperor Peak, they were already in a semi-conscious state, and their limbs were twitching unnaturally.

These people carried not only bags and other items, but also various large and small bags, looking exactly like people who were about to flee.

"Could it be that the Lingxiao Palace has been abandoned, or is the Jade Emperor using this turmoil to drive away the third and fourth generation immortals of the Celestial Court?"

Contrary to Zhang Xuezhou's speculation that the Celestial Court was investigating the unrest in the secret realm and the investigation of Zhu Jiuyin, the Celestial Court cultivators seemed to be abandoning the Lingxiao Palace secret realm.

Leaving the Lingxiao Palace secret realm might be easy, but returning in the future will be difficult.

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the cultivators carrying large and small bags, and then at the Tianmen Passage that was still constantly shuttling downwards.

Given this scene of people fleeing for their lives, all four Heavenly Gates of the Celestial Court should be open by now. Cultivators will not only appear in the Mount Tai region, but also in the East Sea, or in Xiniu Hezhou, or even in the North Heavenly Gate, which Zhang Xuezhou has not yet visited.

Many immortals were filled with anxiety at this moment, and their mental state was somewhat dazed as they passed through the Heavenly Gate.

"By order of His Majesty the Jade Emperor, your strength is insufficient, and the risk of staying in the Celestial Court is extremely high. Now that you have left the Celestial Court, you must abide by the order of the mortal world and must not act recklessly!" The official in charge of the order of the mortal world below the South Heavenly Gate was not the Heavenly King Li Jing that Zhang Xuezhou had seen in the gray fog, but the Spirit Official Wang Shan, whom they had met through their hundred-year agreement.

He loudly proclaimed the rules, signaling everyone not to cause trouble after descending to the mortal realm.

"If the secret realm can be stabilized in the future, the Celestial Court will summon you from the Upper Realm then," Wang Shan briefly announced. "The decree is complete!"

There was no gratitude or thanks at Jade Emperor Peak. Some sane cultivators bowed slightly and glanced at the Primordial Celestial Venerable from time to time, clearly hoping to resolve the issue quickly and allow everyone to return to the Celestial Court.

Many immortals who have lived in the secret realm for a long time clearly dislike the environment of the lower realm. This is no different from the fact that Chang Kong Yinghao and others were not used to the outside environment when they stepped out of the No. 2 sinkhole. They felt that the outside air was polluted, and those with weak strength even had some difficulty breathing.

In terms of altitude, the secret realms in the high heavens are quite different from those in low-altitude areas, and are very unfriendly to those with low cultivation levels.

Many people needed assistance, and they all hoped that the Primordial Celestial Venerable would display his divine power.

"The heavens belong to our Lingxiao Palace, while the earth belongs to the Lord of Mount Tai. The Lord of Mount Tai's Daoist temple is open to people, but this secret place belonging to humans is coveted by many cultivators. Furthermore, a school called Yin Yang has occupied it and set up a mountain and river array, making it difficult for us to find a way in and out!"

As everyone looked up at him, Yuanshi Tianzun could only shake his head, indicating his own weakness.

"That evil dragon already possesses the ability to traverse between reality and illusion, and it took advantage of the alignment of the seven stars to draw in the secret realm, thereby causing turmoil in the secret realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man. This trouble will be difficult to resolve in the short term!"

"Heavenly Venerable, this secret place is connected to our Celestial Court, why was it taken away by someone?" someone asked in confusion.

"If you had been willing to guard this place, how could the secret location have fallen into the hands of others?"

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head.

When the Celestial Court held power in the past, it could conscript cultivators from the Zhou Dynasty to guard secret locations.

Once they lost power, no one would remain to guard the Celestial Court, and this secret place was shrouded in darkness year-round, so few were willing to stay here.

In addition, some cultivators coveted this place, and battles and fights frequently resulted in deaths, so over time no one from the Celestial Court wanted to come here.

Once the Yin-Yang School occupied the area and set up a formation, they couldn't even find the entrance.

Once a secret location is occupied, it's occupied; it hasn't had any negative impact in the past, and no one paid much attention to it. Who would have thought that the formations set up in these three secret locations could affect the safety of the Lingxiao Palace secret realm?

The Primordial Celestial Venerable rebuked many people, causing a group of them to lower their heads and dare not utter a sound.

The secret place involving the human world has been lost for hundreds of years, a period spanning their fathers' and even grandfathers' generations.

The older generation neglected their duties, and the younger generation suffered the consequences.

Some people had never even heard of this secret place, and some young newcomers were descending to the mortal realm for the first time and were unfamiliar with everything around them.

"If you are capable, find the evil dragon Zhu Jiuyin as soon as possible. Only by capturing this evil dragon and finding the secret place can we break its plans and protect the safety of the Celestial Court!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable explained the matter, but no immortal dared to step forward and accept the task.

If the opponents were some minor players, everyone would readily agree, but Zhujiuyin only has a chance of winning if the top-level big shots take action. Others can only stand far away and cheer, and can't even get on the field.

In this matter, we are all destined to fail.

The Jade Emperor Peak was somewhat deserted for a while, with only people occasionally appearing as they passed through the Heavenly Gate.

When the top of Jade Emperor Peak was full of people, people continued to emerge from behind. Some took out bright pearls to light them up, but they still had to descend the mountain at night.
