Chapter 1053: Hurry up and tell me, who is it?

As the pressure from Huang Long enveloped the Pangu World, within the Eight Shadows Palace on Shouyang Mountain, the alchemist Laozi suddenly stopped what he was doing, his face filled with shock.
Above the Eastern Sea, inside the Biyou Palace on Jin’ao Island, Tongtian, who was in seclusion, also abruptly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and intense.
In the Western Great Thunder Sound Temple, Jieyin and Zhunti, who were teaching Mahayana Buddhism to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, also paused and looked in the direction of Kunlun Island.
Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, Hongjun in the Zixiao Palace also opened his eyes and gazed at Kunlun Island, somewhat surprised.
“This aura isn’t Yuan Shi’s, nor is it that of Tongtian and the others!” Above Hongjun’s head, the Chaos Pearl emitted a grayish airflow as it began to rotate. Immediately, the entire situation on Kunlun Island appeared before his eyes.
Inside the Yuxu Palace, Yuan Shi suddenly stood up from his cushion, staring at Huang Long in disbelief, utterly astonished—as if he had seen Pangu reborn.
“He has achieved enlightenment! He has become a sage!” Yuan Shi’s voice trembled slightly, no longer as calm and authoritative as before.
Chengzengzi, Chisengzi, and other disciples of the Chan School were also filled with horror. After that shock, Chengzengzi and Chisengzi’s faces turned deathly pale, their limbs trembling uncontrollably.
If they still couldn’t realize that Huang Long had achieved enlightenment and become a sage, a Immortal of Hunyuan, then they had wasted all these years.
Under the influence of Huang Long’s aura, the entire sky over Kunlun Island was filled with golden light, while the inner hall of the Yuxu Palace was saturated with layers of golden dragon scales.
One after another, golden dragons soared into the sky, circling above the Yuxu Palace.
Even Yuan Shi, caught off guard, couldn’t help but take a small step back. Though it was just a small step, Yuan Shi’s expression became extremely grim. The radiant clouds above his head flared again, and streams of pure energy emerged from his body, forming lotus flowers in green.
These green lotuses formed a barrier, blocking Huang Long’s golden dragon-scale barrier outside. Powerful air currents kept crashing into each other, producing explosive sounds between the two.
In his past life, Huang Long had been unable to estimate Yuan Shi’s strength. But now, at the moment when Yuan Shi’s aura surged, Huang Long realized it—Hunyuan Supreme Realm, later stage!
Half a level higher than himself!
Seeing this, Huang Long felt somewhat relieved.
“You wretched scoundrel, Huang Long! I never expected that after reincarnating and cultivating again, you would achieve enlightenment and become a sage. Good, very good!” Yuan Shi’s aura surged even more violently. A precious artifact resembling a small divine staff rose from the radiant clouds above his head, with beams of light shooting forth.

“No wonder you’re so arrogant—daring to attack your own sectmates, daring to call my name directly, daring to anger me!” As Yuan Shi spoke, his momentum grew stronger. Finally, it reached its peak before stopping. “But even if you achieve sainthood, I still want you to know the consequences of angering me—I will capture you and punish you for betraying your sect!” Yuan Shi’s voice came from the Jade Void Palace, echoing throughout the entire Eastern Victory Continent. All the powerful beings there heard it clearly and were stunned. That wretched Huang Long had achieved sainthood?! All those who heard Yuan Shi’s words breathed heavily, frozen in shock. Huang Long had returned from reincarnation and had nothing left to do with the Chan Sect. By standing there and allowing Yuan Shi to attack him earlier, he had severed any past ties with the Chan Sect. Now, seeing Yuan Shi still addressing him in a subordinate tone and listing his faults, he couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. He had known all along that Yuan Shi was extremely shameless—still the same now! “Oh, is that so? The crime of betraying one’s sect? Yuan Shi, your shamelessness remains unchanged!” Huang Long said indifferently. “But I’m curious to see how you plan to capture me!” After speaking, he didn’t summon the Chaos Bell or the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron, nor did he activate the thirty-three divine artifacts in his body or the Dragon Gate. Instead, a brilliant light burst forth, and his entire body was covered in golden light once again, forcing the green lotuses around Yuan Shi to retreat. Seeing this, Yuan Shi put aside his earlier contempt and gradually calmed down. Staring straight at Huang Long, he said, “In that case, let’s meet beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens!” With that, his body flashed with green light, and he disappeared inside the Jade Void Palace. “That’s great!” Huang Long replied. After saying that, his body also flashed with golden light, and he disappeared from the Jade Void Palace just like Yuan Shi. When Yuan Shi and Huang Long vanished, the disciples of the Chan Sect inside the Jade Void Palace, such as Guang Chengzi and Chi Jinzi, collapsed to the ground as if drained of strength. Guang Chengzi and Chi Jinzi even leaned on the palace walls, gasping for breath and sweating profusely. “Huang, Huang Long has actually achieved sainthood!” Yu Ding Zhen Ren murmured to himself. Hearing this, Guang Chengzi and the others, who were still gasping, exchanged glances, both seeing the shock and disbelief in each other’s eyes. “But back at the Purple Sky Palace, didn’t Grandmaster Hong Jun say that Pangu only had seven sages? Now that all seven sages are here, it’s impossible for anyone else from Pangu to achieve sainthood. How could Huang Long become a sage?!” Ling Bao Da Fa Shi asked in astonishment. Everyone fell silent. Grandmaster Hong Jun had indeed said at the Purple Sky Palace that Pangu only had seven sages! They had heard this from Yuan Shi before. “Could it be because of Huang Long’s reincarnation? Or perhaps he obtained an extraordinary opportunity and broke free from the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, which is why he can do this?!” Tai Yi Zhen Ren spoke up.

“A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Could it be because he obtained the Chaos Bell?!” Guangchengzi’s eyes sparkled.
“That’s impossible. If that were the case, Donghuang Taiyi wouldn’t have perished back then!” Chisizi immediately replied, his expression extremely grim.
Of course, they didn’t know that Donghuang Taiyi hadn’t perished.
“The Chaos Bell may be one of our Pangu’s finest innate treasures and might be able to change his fate to some extent, but it certainly can’t free him from the constraints of the Heavenly Laws,” said Yuding Zhenren with a nod.
After that, the Yuxu Palace fell into prolonged silence.
Meanwhile, while Guangchengzi and the others were discussing this, Dongsheng Divine Continent, and even the entire Pangu Primordial World, were all in upheaval.
In the Heavenly Court…
“That must be the pressure of a sage! Absolutely! Only a sage can possess such pressure!” Emperor Jade Heaven stared in shock toward Kunlun Island.
The Queen Mother’s beautiful face also paled: “But this aura shouldn’t belong to Yuanshi. Yet it comes from the direction of Kunlun Island!”
“I’ve already sent Taibai Jinxing to investigate. We should hear news soon!” Emperor Jade Heaven tried to maintain composure.
As soon as his words faded, Taibai Jinxing rushed in from outside the hall, panting and panicked, his eyes filled with terror, as if he had witnessed something extremely terrifying.
“What’s going on? Why the panic? Have you found out who emitted that sage pressure?” Emperor Jade Heaven snapped at him upon seeing Taibai Jinxing’s state.
Hearing the emperor’s anger, Taibai Jinxing realized he had lost his composure in front of him. He quickly steadied himself, cleared his throat, and spoke, “Your Majesty, I… I have already figured out who emitted that sage pressure!”
“Oh, hurry up and tell me! Who is it? Is it Yuanshi, Tongtian, Laozi, one of the two from the West, or Goddess Nüwa?” Emperor Jade Heaven asked anxiously.
“No, it’s not them!” Taibai Jinxing replied quickly.
Hearing this, the Queen Mother said, “Not them? Could it be a sage from another great world outside these realms?!”
“Yes, it’s Huanglong! It’s Huanglong who emitted it!” Under the gaze of the emperor and the queen mother, Taibai Jinxing stammered.
