Chapter 1062: He Xinsheng

At the entrance to the Genesis Heaven, countless gazes, filled with shock and bewilderment, converged on the scene. In the void, mysterious threads of light continuously permeated, appearing to possess extraordinary power. They were directly piecing together the fragmented light-diagram barriers, one by one.

Within mere moments, the last light-diagram barrier, which had been on the verge of shattering, became covered in faint cracks. Though it seemed fragile, it stood firmly.

Faced with this sight, the strong practitioners from various law domains all revealed expressions of astonishment. The power contained within those mysterious light threads caused a profound sense of trepidation in them. This kind of power was beyond what a Law Domain expert could possess!

Could it be... Was Grand Elder Cang Yuan finally about to appear?!

Inside the Genesis Heaven, Chi Jing, Sect Master Xuankun, and others were also startled by this sudden development. They exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting a mix of surprise and worry. That power surely belonged to a Saint! But if it truly was Cang Yuan's return, while it would resolve the crisis in the Genesis Territory, it would also, in a sense, mean falling into their opponent's scheme. Thus, at this moment, they were conflicted, unsure whether they truly wished to see Cang Yuan appear.

However, this was a concern for the higher-ups. Inside the Genesis Heaven, countless people, witnessing this scene, erupted in thunderous cheers. The euphoria of having narrowly escaped disaster swept away the previous atmosphere of despair from the world.

Zhou Yuan's expression was also uncertain and surprised. He, too, was unsure if this mysterious power originated from his master, Cang Yuan.

"Grand Elder Cang Yuan?" At the golden pagoda, Hong Jiuyuan's pupils slightly contracted as he watched the scene, a hint of fear emerging in his eyes. He naturally dreaded the renowned Grand Elder.

"Continue the attack!" At that moment, Zhao Xiansun's cold voice pierced through the air into his ears.

Hong Jiuyuan hesitated upon hearing this, but ultimately gritted his teeth and activated the golden pagodas. They had already come this far; whether Grand Elder Cang Yuan appeared or not, they could not withdraw.

*Boom!*

Thus, under Hong Jiuyuan's activation, nine golden pagodas unleashed an even more terrifying torrent of golden light that surged skyward, condensing immense power. It shattered the void directly, striking hard at the cracked light-diagram connected by mysterious light threads.

In the depths of the void, the Genesis Qi of the heavens and earth surged, forming mysterious and profound eyes that locked onto the section of the void where the light-diagram was located.

"Cang Yuan, if it's you... then appear!"

The vast golden torrent, under the gaze of countless eyes, charged towards the light-diagram. And at that very instant, a spatial rift slowly tore open in the void before the light-diagram barrier. A long, slender, fair hand emerged from it, gently striking at the vast torrent.

Against the immense Genesis Qi torrent, the slender hand appeared incredibly tiny. Yet, for some unknown reason, when it emerged, the entire void seemed to tremble. As the hand struck the golden torrent, the void seemed to freeze for a moment. Immediately after, countless horrified gazes witnessed the golden torrent, which had gathered terrifying power, directly vaporize under that tiny hand. In a mere instant, it transformed into billions of dazzling specks of light.

After effortlessly shattering the vast torrent, the spatial rift slowly expanded, and a figure walked out from the void. Countless eyes across the heavens and earth converged on the figure.

"Cang Yuan..." In the depths of the void, several vast, lingering auras also began to fluctuate. "You've finally appeared!"

From a certain point in the void, endless Genesis Qi surged, vaguely forming a blurry figure in the air. The figure was immense, almost boundless, emanating an oppressive aura that made the heavens and earth tremble. It was Grand Elder Wanzu! If Cang Yuan had appeared, then his objective would be achieved, and the next stage of his scheme could commence.

Grand Elder Wanzu's gaze pierced through layers of void, locking onto the figure emerging from the spatial rift. Then... his expression seemed to freeze for an instant.

"Eh?!" The other Grand Elders also suddenly exclaimed in surprise, their auras fluctuating intensely.

"Eh?!" Throughout the heavens and earth, countless gazes were fixed there in a daze, and even the Law Domain experts gradually widened their mouths. Because they saw that the figure stepping out of the spatial rift was not the Grand Elder Cang Yuan they knew.

It was a young man, his posture as upright as a pine tree. His face was like jade, and his features resembled a sculpted statue, exuding astonishing charm. A constant smile graced his lips, making him appear delightful. Notably, he carried a large, crimson gourd on his back, roughly the height of a person, from which a faint, terrifying aura emanated.

The person before them was clearly not the Grand Elder Cang Yuan everyone had been expecting!

"Oh, what a lively scene," said the man with the crimson gourd on his back, as he stood in the void, scratching his head with a smile on his lips.

A complete silence descended upon the entire world. Zhou Yuan was also somewhat stunned at this moment. He stared blankly at the mysterious man; this was clearly not Master Cang Yuan, but if not him, then who was it? He looked at Qin Lian and the others, finding them similarly bewildered and pondering. They seemed to vaguely feel a sense of familiarity but couldn't identify him.

Zhao Xiansun, Hong Jiuyuan, and other Law Domain experts stared blankly at the person. A moment later, incredible shock emerged in their eyes: "He... he is..."

"Senior... Senior Brother?!" Chi Jing's eyes widened, and her voice trembled slightly. Although the man carrying the crimson gourd had a slightly different demeanor than before, after a moment of recognition, Chi Jing eventually identified him by his familiar aura.

"Zhuan Zhu?!" Sect Master Xuankun and the others beside her were equally dumbfounded, for this person was indeed Zhuan Zhu, Grand Elder Cang Yuan's senior disciple, who had been missing for a long time! They had never imagined that the one to appear at the Genesis Territory's most critical moment would not be Grand Elder Cang Yuan, but Zhuan Zhu!

Billions of beings in the Genesis Territory erupted in an uproar. They, too, recognized the newcomer's identity with guidance from some elders, but then they grew apprehensive. Since it wasn't Grand Elder Cang Yuan, could this senior disciple, who had been missing for many years, truly resolve the current crisis?

"Zhuan Zhu, it's actually you!" A grim expression appeared in Zhao Xiansun's startled eyes. For some reason, he sensed a disturbing aura emanating from Zhuan Zhu. This old rival had been in seclusion for many years, and Zhao Xiansun had even thought he had perished. But now, it seemed that was not the case. "Attack him!" His eyes flickered, and he directly transmitted a message to Hong Jiuyuan. Although Zhuan Zhu had seemingly displayed extremely terrifying power just now, it might not be his own means, but Cang Yuan's. Zhao Xiansun was unwilling to ponder too deeply on certain matters, nor did he dare to fully believe them.

Upon hearing the message, Hong Jiuyuan almost immediately activated the power of the nine golden pagodas again, as he, too, wanted to confirm certain things.

However, just as the nine golden pagodas were operating frantically, Zhuan Zhu, who was in the void, seemed to sense it. His gaze pierced through the void, and he then smiled, extending his slender hand and gently pressing down. The void seemed to collapse at that moment.

*Boom!*

And then, Zhao Xiansun, Hong Jiuyuan, and the other Law Domain experts watched with chilling horror as the golden pagodas behind them instantly collapsed. In mere moments, the golden pagodas, personally refined by Grand Elder Wanzu, were forcefully flattened into golden pancakes. At this moment, even Zhao Xiansun and the others felt fear rising in their hearts. Because the scene they least dared to believe had just unfolded.

After effortlessly crushing the nine golden pagodas, Zhuan Zhu looked up into the depths of the void and smiled, "Seniors, please show yourselves."

The depths of the void rippled slightly. The next moment, countless people watched in shock as vast Genesis Qi gathered in the void, gradually forming eight figures. The eight figures stood in the void; when they appeared, the entire world trembled as if unable to withstand their power. They were the Grand Elders of the Eight Domains! The most powerful existences in the entire Hunyuan Heaven! And today, they had appeared simultaneously!

Countless gazes directed at them were filled with profound reverence. However, the eight Grand Elders paid no attention to these gazes. Instead, they stared at Zhuan Zhu's figure, silent, but with flickering lights in their eyes, seemingly confirming something.

Zhuan Zhu understood their thoughts. He smiled faintly, and the next moment, an aura ascended from the top of his head. The aura condensed, finally transforming into a Saint Lotus that slowly bloomed. When the Saint Lotus appeared, the heavens and earth resonated, and Genesis Qi surged, creating countless celestial phenomena in the void, as if congratulating something.

All beings across the world were stunned at this moment. The eight Grand Elders in the void also trembled slightly. They quietly watched the Saint Lotus bloom above Zhuan Zhu's head, their expressions varied. But ultimately, the eight Grand Elders raised one hand before them, bowed slightly, and performed the most ancient of salutes.

"Congratulations to the new Saint."

In that instant, the sound of a grand bell resonated throughout the entire Hunyuan Heaven.
