In The Primal Chaos, My identity Was Exposed By The Heavens - Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Grand Supreme Golden Immortal, it’s just mediocre!

Ye Xiu possessed a slender physique in that enigmatic universe, embodying the perfection of the three thousand laws without a hint of imperfection. These laws transformed into a vast river of rolling principles that gracefully encircled him, setting him apart as the ultimate authority. Even Hongjun, the venerable figure, found himself compelled to look up in reverence, rekindling the awe that had long resided in his heart.

Over countless eons and once upon a time, there was a time when Hongjun himself was in awe of Ye Xiu. This respect remained unchanged, if not intensified, as the endless years passed. After a significant silence, Hongjun broke the quiet with his words: “Master Ye Xiu, you remain as invincible as ever, unmatched in the world.”

If these words were to be heard by the world, they would surely stir astonishment. Even Hongjun acknowledged Ye Xiu’s unparalleled strength—a commendation of the highest caliber. However, Ye Xiu appeared unperturbed by Hongjun’s praise, maintaining his elegance and an air of superiority. He looked down upon everything and added, “Even as the Primordial Unity Grand Supreme, your abilities are average. I anticipate the day when you truly merge with the Tao.”

Ye Xiu’s message conveyed that the present Hongjun failed to impress him. In the future, Ye Xiu might give more attention to Hongjun after his merger with the Dao of Heaven. Hongjun accepted these words without skepticism.

With a sigh, Hongjun said, “In that case, when I, as the humble Taoist, achieve harmony with the Tao, I eagerly look forward to a genuine discussion with Taoist Ye Xiu.”

Following this confrontation, not only did Hongjun’s Taoist spirit remain unshaken, but he also embraced the reality of his defeat gracefully. His heart filled with determination, as he made a silent pledge—to merge with the Dao of Heaven as swiftly as possible. Otherwise, he feared that Ye Xiu might break free from the Heavenly Tao’s control and become an unpredictable anomaly.

Ye Xiu remained oblivious to Hongjun’s thoughts, and he might not have cared even if he knew. After all, he stood supreme, beyond all concerns, capable of defeating his adversaries with a single stroke.

Ye Xiu’s swift sword would sever any such interference if Heaven dared to interfere. With a casual smile, he slowly turned and departed from the mysterious universe, each step graceful and deliberate. In the blink of an eye, he reappeared within the Thirty-Three Heavenly Palace, his form akin to a celestial being, capturing the admiration of countless onlookers.

Questions and speculations swirled among those present. “Why has only one returned from the prehistoric world? Where is the Tao Ancestor?” They scanned the surroundings, searching for any sign of Hongjun, but their quest proved futile. They wondered about the events that unfolded during Ye Xiu and Hongjun’s absence, surmising that a mighty confrontation had occurred, and one must have been wounded. However, identifying the injured party remained beyond their reach.

“Master, are you unharmed?” Houtu, her figure elegant and enchanting, approached Ye Xiu with concern. Even the Heavenly Lord, currently in Buzhou Mountain, and the sisters Xihe and Changxi shared these concerns, gazing at Ye Xiu with worried expressions. They remained in the dark about the battle’s outcome and whether the Hunyuan Saint had been injured, causing their apprehension.

“This deity…is unharmed,” Ye Xiu assured with a simple nod, maintaining his distinguished and powerful demeanor, leaving everyone even more perplexed. Speculations ran rampant, each individual harboring distinct opinions.

“Regarding the next era, Houtu, you must return to Buzhou Mountain to meditate and cultivate, seeking the opportunity to attain the Tao, and you shall be reborn after the Yiyuanhui,” Ye Xiu suddenly declared, conveying an abundance of hidden information.

With the prospect of a new era on the horizon and the significance of Houtu’s enlightenment, she was stunned, her mind racing to decipher the profound meaning behind Ye Xiu’s words. However, her understanding paled in comparison to Ye Xiu’s. After briefly contemplating, Houtu turned her gaze towards the other ancestral witches and the gathered assembly, inquiring, “Master, what does this entail?”

The question weighed heavily on the minds of all in attendance. Countless eyes fixated on the peerless figure before them, each person harboring their emotions, thoughts, and speculations.
