Taiyuan Saint Mother was somewhat surprised that Yuanshi Tianzun was not in the Primordial world. Yuanshi Tianzun's Dao could be summarized with one word: "Chan." This "Chan" did not merely align with the so-called Heavenly Dao but also adhered to order. This path was of a lofty intent, rendering Yuanshi Tianzun nearly invincible in the Primordial world. Conversely, within Chaos, such a Dao would face suppression.

Still, regardless of her lack of understanding, there was nothing she could do—Heaven's Will is unfathomable, and the Saint's Will is Heaven's Will.

"Then why have you come here?"

Nezha recounted the events orchestrated by No-Life Old Mother and finally added a complaint, "Senior, don't you think this No-Life Old Mother really is an utter scoundrel?"

Taiyuan Saint Mother felt somewhat awkward—No-Life Old Mother was none other than the Evil Corpse she had cleaved off herself. Wasn't criticising her essentially criticizing me?

Nezha also realized that his words might have sounded like an indirect insult. He quickly tried to smooth things over: "Senior, I didn't mean you! You can tell at a glance you're not an unreasonable person."

Taiyuan Saint Mother hurriedly changed the subject, unwilling to engage in a debate with a child about whether she was unreasonable. She instead said, "No-Life Old Mother has absorbed forbidden powers and escaped my control. Little friend, would you be willing to help me suppress her and reclaim my origin?"

No-Life Old Mother had indeed committed numerous bizarre acts, but Taiyuan Saint Mother still did not wish to kill her. It wasn't out of kindness—the act of Corpse Cutting involved cleaving away one's own origin, Divine Soul, and cultivation foundation. Such things were finite for any Immortal. Without reclaiming them, if she were to cut another corpse in the future, how could she have the potential to break into the next realm?

Nezha asked directly, "Can you guarantee that No-Life Old Mother won't cause me trouble again, senior?"

Taiyuan Saint Mother nodded, "If you assist me, consider it a favor I owe you. How could I allow her to trouble you again?"

Nezha nodded his acknowledgment. It wasn't that he completely believed Taiyuan Saint Mother's promise, but now that she was involved, if No-Life Old Mother dared to trouble him again, he would find someone to eliminate her outright. Even if Yuanshi Tianzun returned, he would have no grounds to object.

Now the main concern was how to help Taiyuan Saint Mother reclaim the Evil Corpse, No-Life Old Mother. Of course, there was another matter that piqued Nezha's curiosity—just what was sealed within this great Array?

Since Nezha had stumbled upon this situation, and given Tongtian Sect Master's endorsement, Taiyuan Saint Mother saw no reason to hide it. She began to share what she knew in detail. It was no coincidence that she could be paired with Yuanshi Tianzun. She explained everything she understood and inferred with great clarity, though much of it sounded like talking to herself.

Anyway, I've shared everything I know. How much you understand is up to you, she thought. Nezha, being well-acquainted with Yun Zhongzi and Master Taiyi, was no stranger to Chan Sect's teaching methods.

From Taiyuan Saint Mother's account, Nezha learned a great deal. This so-called True Void Home was not a dimension created by No-Life Old Mother. Its true name was Hongmeng World. Back when the cultivation of the Three Pure Ones was only at a foundational level, they had roamed beyond the Primordial world and arrived in this realm, where they encountered a certain Demon. The three of them joined forces to seal the Demon here.

What exactly was this Demon?

After carefully analyzing Taiyuan Saint Mother's words, Nezha arrived at a conclusion: Taiyuan Saint Mother herself did not know what was sealed here either.

As for dealing with No-Life Old Mother, Taiyuan Saint Mother's method was simple: lure No-Life Old Mother into the Array Eye. The Array Eye was the strongest point of the entire great Array's sealing power. As long as No-Life Old Mother could be drawn into it, Taiyuan Saint Mother could leverage the Array's might to suppress her and reclaim her origin.

Once free from No-Life Old Mother's interference, Taiyuan Saint Mother could gradually repair the Array until the Demon beneath it was completely refined and eradicated.

However, Nezha was not No-Life Old Mother's match in direct combat. He asked bluntly, "Then how can we lure No-Life Old Mother in?"

Taiyuan Saint Mother had clearly already devised a plan to deal with No-Life Old Mother. A radiance of Jade Light flickered across her body, and a girl who appeared to be 18 or 19 stepped out, holding a handkerchief shining with Golden Light and covered in intricate Array Patterns.

"I am the Good Corpse of the Saint Mother, Taiyuan Jade Girl. This is the magical treasure known as the Golden Light Mysterious Spirit Handkerchief. The patterns on this handkerchief correspond to the core of the great Array. I will remain hidden for now. You only need to provoke No-Life Old Mother and hold her attention, and I will use the opportunity to trap her and send her into the Array."

After hearing Taiyuan Saint Mother's plan, Nezha expressed his approval. One person to distract the target, while another works stealthily—this was very much in line with the Chan Sect's style.

Now, there remained only one final issue.

"Senior, I am a refined and peaceful person, not particularly skilled at provoking others. What should I do in this case?"

Taiyuan Saint Mother, embodying the typical "judging by appearances" mindset, took one look at Nezha's demeanor and, along with her Good Corpse, found herself agreeing with his self-assessment. However, as a senior, it wasn't appropriate for her to teach a junior how to hurl crass insults.

She could only resort to an evasive response: "Just strike her at her weakest point."

Her meaning was clear—less talk, more action. A classic Chan Sect approach.

Nezha pondered for a moment and indicated that he understood. Alongside Taiyuan Jade Girl, he left the Array Eye. Nezha employed his False Dao to move invisibly, while Taiyuan Jade Girl, having control over the Array, departed through a hidden route. Both exited the underground chamber quietly.

Completely absorbed in studying the Kunlun Mirror, No-Life Old Mother remained oblivious to the fact that her dwelling had already been visited. Nezha didn't confront her directly but instead arrived at the edge of the world once more. Under Taiyuan Jade Girl's puzzled gaze, he unleashed a punch at the space in front of him.

Carrying terrifying power, Nezha's punch tore a massive rift into the space. The sheer force of the strike caused the entire realm's spatial equilibrium to tremble violently.

With a thunderous boom that echoed across the Hongmeng World, tens of thousands of Dead Souls shuddered in unison. Normal Dead Souls would have cowered in fright at this moment, searching desperately for a place to hide. However, these souls were far from normal—they had already been demonized. A vast surge of blackened Dead Souls swarmed together, forming a torrential wave that surged directly toward Nezha, high in the sky.
