Chen Mobai confronts two rogue cultivators, Chi Lei and Sun Qingxue, accusing them of demonic cultivation. Pure Wind True Monarch and Little Lei Immortal of the Thunder Zen Temple intervene. Pure Wind True Monarch pressures Chi Lei and Sun Qingxue to swear innocence, and when they hesitate, Little Lei Immortal seemingly executes them with thunder. However, Chen Mobai's superior techniques reveal that Little Lei Immortal secretly used a diversion to help Chi Lei escape, angering Pure Wind True Monarch and leading to an apology from Little Lei Immortal.

Seeing his strategy exposed, the Little Thunder Immortal, undeterred, opened his mouth, clearly intending to protect Chi Lei.

"I am not unreasonable. Bring that person here, have him apologize to Mysterious Water, then abolish his demonic cultivation technique, and make him swear never to associate with the Demon Path again. Given that we both belong to the Righteous Path, we can overlook this matter."

These were the words spoken by Chen Mobai.

Upon hearing this, the Little Thunder Immortal’s face showed hesitation, as he was unaware of the specific demonic cultivation technique Chi Lei had practiced.

After all, the forces in the West Continent were not comparable to those like the Nine Heavens Morality Sect. Therefore, despite the opposition between the righteous and demonic paths, their conflict had not escalated to an irreconcilable point.

Chi Lei and Sun Qingxue had been associated for quite some time, leading the Little Thunder Immortal to fear that Chi Lei might have already integrated demonic power into his foundation.

Should it be abolished, the individual might be utterly ruined.

Had it been any other disciple, the Little Thunder Immortal likely would not have been so concerned.

Unfortunately, Chi Lei was not only his disciple but also his blood relative.

Consequently, the Little Thunder Immortal became enraged. Hearing Chen Mobai’s words, he remained silent, but his entire body erupted with thunderous light, transforming into a bolt of lightning and vanishing from his original position.

Witnessing the Little Thunder Immortal flee outright, Chen Mobai was momentarily surprised. He then chuckled softly and flicked his sleeve.

Instantly, nine crimson Flame Dragons surged forth from the Pure Yang Immortal Robe, resembling nine shooting rainbows, hurtling towards the lightning that the Little Thunder Immortal had become.

Simultaneously, the Haotian Mirror unleashed its potent mirror light, and within moments, it pinpointed the fleeing Little Thunder Immortal, ensnaring the very void he occupied.

The so-called fastest Heavenly Thunder Escape technique in the West Continent was effortlessly countered by the might of the Rank-6 Haotian Mirror.

Following this, the nine Flame Dragons closed in, striking the immobilized Little Thunder Immortal with immense force.

At the precipice of life and death, a jade pendant adorning the Little Thunder Immortal’s chest suddenly flared with brilliant golden thunder. It collided with the nine Fire Dragons generated by the Pure Yang Immortal Robe, unleashing a tremendous roar.

However, regardless of the power unleashed, it proved insufficient to liberate the Little Thunder Immortal from the Haotian Mirror’s immobilizing embrace.

"A Rank-6 Artifact!"

Upon witnessing this spectacle, True Monarch Pure Wind couldn't suppress his astonishment. He unfurled the folding fan in his hand, concealing half of his face.

It must be understood that within the Holy Land of the West Continent, only their Pure Palace possessed two inherited Rank-6 Artifacts. One was the naturally formed Six Roots Pure Bamboo, and the other was the Carefree Heavenly Travel Fan he held, also crafted predominantly from Six Roots Pure Bamboo. Originally a Rank-5 item, the Deity Transformation cultivators of this lineage had painstakingly nurtured it over millennia, barely elevating it to Rank-6.

Yet, as per the records from the Eastern Wilderness's Qing Emperor within the Impermanence Pavilion, there were strictly only two Rank-6 Artifacts previously accounted for – a clock and a sword. How could a mirror suddenly appear?

Furthermore, observing its use, the mirror seemed as integral as a limb, akin to a Lifespan Artifact.

In this light, the Eastern Wilderness’s Qing Emperor might already be a Rank-6 Artifact Refiner!

Comprehending this realization, True Monarch Pure Wind's shock intensified.

If this proposition held true, then in the days to come, all God-Transcending cultivators across the Five Continents and Four Seas would flock to the East Continent, seeking this individual's expertise in artifact refinement.

The thought alone spurred True Monarch Pure Wind with an impulse to intervene.

To assist Chen Mobai in subduing the Little Thunder Immortal, thereby doing him a favor!

Nevertheless, it was evident that Chen Mobai, possessing a Rank-6 Artifact, required no assistance from True Monarch Pure Wind whatsoever.

Following a sharp cracking sound, the jade pendant on the Little Thunder Immortal’s chest fractured. He then spat a mouthful of vital blood onto the crack of the jade pendant. An earth-shattering golden thunderbolt erupted, forcefully creating an opening within the Haotian Mirror’s restraining light.

Witnessing this development, True Monarch Pure Wind experienced a surge of regret.

The jade pendant belonging to the Little Thunder Immortal was the ancestral supreme treasure of the Thunder Zen Temple. It not only preserved all the cultivation techniques of that lineage but also contained a Rank-6 Thunder condensed from a Deity Transformation cultivator who had previously endured the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation. This was the legendary hidden treasure of the Thunder Zen Temple lineage.

Yet, it had been surprisingly deployed with such ease on this very day.

However, Pure Wind True Monarch soon saw an opportunity. He immediately brandished the Carefree Heavenly Travel Fan in his hand, intending to assist Chen Mobai against the golden thunder: "Mr. Chen, fear not! Since this individual harbors devil cultivators, he is a sinner of the West Continent, and I shall subdue him!"

As Pure Wind True Monarch spoke, a dark whirlwind erupted from the treasured fan in his palm. This whirlwind was also condensed from a wind tribulation, originating from the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation and refined by the Deity Transformation ancestors of the Pure Palace.

Unlike the Little Thunder Immortal, who required essence blood for activation, Pure Wind True Monarch, possessing a Sixth Rank Artifact, only needed to expend True Qi Dao Power.

Yet, Pure Wind True Monarch's action led to a misunderstanding by Chen Mobai: [This old man, being a fellow Deity Transformation cultivator alongside the Little Thunder Immortal in the West Continent, must be in league with him, plotting to attack me together!]

With this thought, Chen Mobai's eyes lit up.

He had initially believed that his trip to the West Continent wouldn't involve confronting these two Deity Transformation cultivators. Unexpectedly, for the sake of two devil cultivators, Pure Wind True Monarch and the Little Thunder Immortal had discarded all pretense.

It seemed highly probable that Chi Lei and Sun Qingxue were deliberately deployed as pawns by these two Holy Lands.

Convinced he had uncovered the truth, Chen Mobai ceased holding back.

The Second Primeval Spirit ignited, radiating brilliant and dense Pure Yang True Qi, empowering the Haotian Mirror and the Primordial Yang Sword, his two formidable Magic Artifacts.

Accompanied by a phoenix cry, the mirror ascended towards the heavens. The fire spiritual power within a ten-thousand-mile radius was instantly drawn into the Haotian Mirror, transforming into boundless energy and manifesting as a golden phoenix.

The moment this golden phoenix appeared, it intercepted the wind tribulation and thunder tribulation surging towards Chen Mobai from both sides. Its five-colored wings flapped, halting their advance.

The power of Nirvana is inherently transcendent; thus, no worldly disaster or tribulation could possibly shake or erode it.

With the Haotian Mirror in his possession, Chen Mobai would possess three to four additional chances of success when facing the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation.

Should he manage to continuously elevate the grade of this Magic Artifact, perhaps reaching the Peak of the Sixth Rank like the Heavenly Phoenix Mirror of the ancient Dan Ding Taoist, it might enable one to traverse the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation as if walking on level ground.

Although Pure Wind True Monarch's wind tribulation and the Little Thunder Immortal's thunder tribulation were also manifestations of the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation, their cultivation levels were merely Deity Transformation. Chen Mobai rotated the Haotian Mirror, and the golden phoenix spread its wings, effortlessly nullifying these two nearly world-ending tribulation powers.

Subsequently, Chen Mobai reasoned that since they had already initiated an assault, there was no longer a need for restraint.

The Primordial Yang Sword, prepared and poised, erupted with dazzling golden radiance. Bolstered by the Pure Yang Immortal Light condensed by the Haotian Mirror, it unleashed two Sword Sha attacks, descending upon Pure Wind True Monarch and the Little Thunder Immortal.

Confronted by the Sword Sha, the Little Thunder Immortal deployed all his techniques, but they were all severed. Following this, his body, renowned as the strongest physique in the West Continent, was rendered as fragile as paper, pierced through from front to back by a sword mark.

"Why is Mr. Chen attacking me?"

Observing Chen Mobai also directing his blade towards him, Pure Wind True Monarch frowned, perceiving Chen Mobai as somewhat ungrateful, especially since he had clearly intended to assist him.

However, Chen Mobai was too preoccupied to engage in debate with Pure Wind True Monarch. Given that they had already attacked him, and the evidence was undeniable, he felt compelled to retaliate with a sword strike.

Witnessing this, Pure Wind True Monarch emitted a cold snort, determined to uphold the prestige of the West Continent's foremost cultivator. He re-activated the Carefree Heavenly Travel Fan in his hand. However, facing the Sixth Rank Sword Sha, the power of the wind tribulation proved incapable of blocking it and was cleaved apart.

At this sight, Pure Wind True Monarch's expression shifted dramatically. He finally grasped why the Little Thunder Immortal had offered no resistance – the disparity in power was simply too immense to contend with.

To preserve his life, he was compelled to extract a piece of green jade-like bamboo from his Storage Bag and swing it towards the Sword Sha.

As the green bamboo swept through the air, it emitted an eerie melody, causing the Primordial Yang Sword Sha, which had just sliced through the wind tribulation, to falter unexpectedly.

A look of surprise crossed Chen Mobai's face as he recognized the green bamboo within Pure Wind True Monarch's grasp. It was the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, astonishingly refined into a powerful Magic Artifact. It seemed to be enhanced with the might of the Sound Great Dao, and combined with the wind tribulation from the Carefree Heavenly Travel Fan, it had successfully repelled his Sixth Rank Sword Sha.

Truly one of the Four True Ones, able to endure a single strike from him.

"Mr. Chen, this is a misunderstanding! I genuinely intended to offer you assistance!"

Upon witnessing the Primordial Yang Sword poised above Chen Mobai, ready to unleash a second devastating slash, Pure Wind True Monarch, abandoning any pretense of maintaining the reputation of the West Continent's foremost expert, quickly offered his explanation.
