Chaos is the existence of disorder and confusion.
Within the endless chaos, all order and laws do not exist.
A magnificent Treasure Car slowly entered the chaotic world, surrounded by numerous colors of fog. Its broad wheels rolled over the space filled with disordered energy, emitting a rich fragrance.
Yu Yuan sat cross-legged inside the Seven Fragrant Treasure Car, idly watching the chaotic scenery outside the window.
Shimmers of colorful treasure light shot out from around the Treasure Car, piercing through the layers of chaotic fog, illuminating the path ahead.
Whether it was Duobao Taoist or Golden Spirit Saint Mother, they all had Spiritual Objects similar to the Green Cloud Pearl, and their experience in traversing chaos was much more abundant, so naturally, there was no need to worry about losing their way in the chaos.
The Treasure Car was surrounded by a halo of precious light, appearing like a dazzling rainbow swiftly traveling through the boundless chaos, blooming like a fantasy flower in the darkness.
The wheels cut through the boundary of chaos, stirring up whirlpools and twisted scenes.
The ever-changing chaotic fog parted before the car, opening up a passageway. Bizarre creatures and illusions within the fog appeared in succession, but could not stop the Treasure Car from advancing.
Yu Yuan sat by the window of the Seven Fragrant Car, quietly reflecting on the gains from his journey to the Eastern Extreme Heavens.
The biggest gain was undoubtedly successfully rescuing his mentor, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother.
Next was seizing the Supreme Treasure, the Ancestor Dragon Pearl, from the Dragon Clan, and also obtaining a strand of the Azure Dragon Venerable Sage's Lifebound Dragon Soul.
Lastly, during the battle with the Azure Dragon Venerable Sage, his physical body had grown slightly stronger.
One could say that this adventure beyond the heavens was definitely worthwhile.
If it wasn't for the unclear situation in Primordial, he would have really liked to stay in the Eastern Extreme Heavens to "cultivate" with the Azure Dragon Venerable Sage.
Or perhaps take a tour around the territories of the other three Venerable Sages, aiming to collect all the Spirits and Souls of the Four Spirits Venerable Sages.
In the end, he did not stay in the Eastern Extreme Heavens for long.
With the Azure Dragon Venerable Sage and the entire Dragon Clan respectfully seeing them off, Yu Yuan and Duobao Taoist boarded the Golden Spirit Saint Mother's Seven Fragrant Car, passing through the crystal wall of the world and plunging into the vast expanse of chaos.
"This time we really owe it to you, youngster, for arriving just in time. Otherwise, I alone truly wouldn't have been able to rescue your mentor!"
Duobao Taoist said while looking at Yu Yuan with a smile: "The scene today with you making all the dragons bow their heads, even the Azure Dragon Venerable Sage could do nothing to you. It really reminds me of an old friend.
Both full of confidence, eloquent in speech, unchanging in expression surrounded by formidable foes... That imposing and spirited demeanor is just too similar!"
"Oh?"
Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat curiously asking: "Who is that person the Elder Uncle is talking about?"
Golden Spirit Saint Mother also looked curiously at Duobao Taoist.
He glanced at her and laughed: "That person you have seen too, it's the Xuan Yangzi Daoist brother who helped us out when we went to West Kunlun to celebrate the birthday of The Queen Mother of the West..."
Yu Yuan was completely thrown off.
Could it not be similar?
The Xuan Yangzi of The Queen Mother's birthday feast and today's Yu Yuan who deterred the dragons in the Eastern Extreme Heavens are originally the same person, alright!
But so many eras have passed since then, how can you still remember so clearly?
Speaking of this, he said with a face full of regret: "However, the name Xuan Yangzi was probably just made up on the spot. Later I went to Longevity Mountain to seek out Immortal Zhenyuan, but unfortunately, there was no one by the name of Xuan Yangzi under his command.
It's such a pity. Although I admire that Xuan Yangzi Daoist brother quite a bit, I never managed to meet him again!
I'm not embarrassed to tell you, nephew, I yearn for that carefree way of conduct you all have, but as the prominent disciple of Jie Sect, every word and action of mine represents the face and attitude of Jie Sect, with who knows how many pairs of eyes are watching me..."
As Yu Yuan listened to Duobao Taoist rambling and revealing his thoughts, he felt increasingly uneasy and on pins and needles.
Especially since Golden Spirit Saint Mother also glanced at him teasingly, her eyes carrying a hint of amusement as if watching a play.
Yu Yuan quickly gave her a look, signaling her not to talk too much.
At this moment, Duobao Taoist was baring his heart. If this Elder Uncle knew that Xuan Yangzi was him, he'd probably be utterly embarrassed and enraged?
After all, such a level of social death... just imagining it made Yu Yuan want to scratch the walls, let alone Duobao Taoist himself.
With that thought, he quickly looked at Duobao Taoist and laughed: "Elder Uncle needn't feel regretful. Maybe Xuan Yangzi acted without any restraints precisely because he was using a fake identity, otherwise why would there be no trace of him afterward?
"If Master Uncle were to use a fake identity as well, naturally, there would be far fewer concerns and everything could be done in a more carefree manner!"
Duobao Daoist let out a light "Huh" of surprise, his eyes glinted slightly, "This idea of Apprentice Nephew is actually good, why didn't I think of that!"
Seeing that he appeared to take the suggestion to heart, Yu Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
The Seven Fragrant Treasure Car sped through chaos at extreme speed, and it was uncertain how long had passed before finally returning to the round heavens and square lands of the Primordial World.
As soon as they returned, Duobao Daoist vanished without a trace.
The Golden Spirit Saint Mother had to return to the Biyou Palace to report to Sect Hierarch Tongtian, while Yu Yuan needed to station himself at Linhuan Pass to guard against Chan Sect and Western Sect mischief.
After parting ways, Yu Yuan rode the Golden-eyed Five Clouds Camel towards Linhuan Pass while taking out a bronze mirror to contact Bai Ling and the others. He quickly received a "All is well" response.
Yu Yuan breathed another sigh of relief.
After leaving the Primordial, the bronze mirror could no longer be used.
Fortunately, no troubles arose in the Primordial during this time. Otherwise, even if Bai Ling and the others wanted to find him, they would not have been able to.
Beyond this, there was one more piece of important news.
His trip to the East Pole heavens only felt like a dozen days had passed to him, but according to Bai Ling, it turned out that five years had already gone by in the Primordial World!
Clearly, the chaotic and disordered time within chaos had still affected him, the erratic flow of time resulting in a discrepancy in his perception of time.
Luckily, he hadn't missed anything.
What baffled him was that after the Divine Beating Whip from the Investiture of the Gods fell into the Taiching Saint's hands, there had been no further movement.
Both Human Sect and Chan Sect have been quiet for the past few years, almost as if people have forgotten about the matter of Divine Enthronement.
On the other hand, the disciples of the Western Sect began to openly propagate their teachings in the western, northern, and even central regions of the Southern Continent.
The Jie Sect had many disciples cultivating in the Southern Continent, and naturally, they couldn't tolerate the Western Sect disciples brazenly seizing their territory. Thus, friction between the two sects continued unabated, and disciples would often gather to fight each other.
Hearing this news, Yu Yuan was somewhat surprised.
Logically, the Western Sect should have waited until both Chan Sect and Jie Sect were mutually wounded before jumping out to reap the fruits of victory, not so prematurely as it appears now.
Yu Yuan couldn't quite understand this.
However, given that the main activities of the Western Sect had moved to the western regions, far away from Linhuan Pass, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to it.
Not my circus, not my monkeys.
Let Duobao Daoist worry about the affairs of the Western Sect.
A few days later, Yu Yuan, riding the Golden-eyed Five Clouds Camel, arrived at the banks of the Huai River in the southeastern part of the Southern Continent.
Before he had time to put away the camel, he saw a handsome young man riding on clouds, who also landed in front of the palace just like him.
Moreover, Yu Yuan recognized this young man.
He had a refined appearance, clean complexion, and was wearing a white robe with a golden crown in his hair, ribbon around his waist, and shoes of clouds on his feet, giving him a bright and valiant look.
The most striking feature was a silver-white vertical line on his forehead, like a mysterious Dao Rune, or a closed eye.
Yang Jian!
The once high disciple under Chan Sect's Golden Immortal Yu Ding, now the Celestial-worthy Enlightening Spirit King personally bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor!
But why was he not staying at the Guan River Mouth and instead come here?
Yu Yuan glanced curiously at Yang Jian, who was also looking at him. His lips parted slightly, but seemed unsure of what to say, an awkward expression on his face.
After all, the relationship between the two was nearly adversarial.
In the end, Yang Jian was the first to give a respectful bow, "Yang Jian greets Dao Brother, have not yet had the chance to express gratitude..."
Before he could finish, a disgruntled female figure rushed out from the Treasure Hall and looked at Yang Jian, "What Dao Brother? You should be calling him benefactor!
Yu Yuan glanced at the person, and saw it was Fairy Yun Hua.
Indeed, he nearly forgot these two were mother and son.
Yang Jian, a bit embarrassed, touched his nose but understood his mother's meaning. He again bowed deeply to Yu Yuan, his voice serious, "Benefactor above, Yang Jian extends thanks! Grateful for saving my mother, it will forever be etched in my heart! Should the benefactor ever need me, Yang Jian swears to repay the debt even at the cost of my life!"
