It was that line again, that line again.
Cheng Yue was nearly losing his mind. Was everyone in the Primordial World like this?
Borrowing a tiger's skin to make a banner?
And Hongjun, too. These people had no idea how miserably they would die after casually flaunting their affiliations.
Cheng Yue had no desire whatsoever to get involved with these people.
But he failed to notice that on the island, Nuwa was hiding off to one side, secretly watching what was happening in the sky.
As she looked at the old Daoist, Hongjun, the corners of her mouth curled down slightly.
"So this old man is Hongjun. His cultivation is indeed profound, but he is not as strong as Master. Most importantly, he is not as handsome as Master."
After saying that, she prepared to see what her master intended to do.
Cheng Yue's expression was quite unpleasant at that moment, even carrying a trace of anger.
Hongjun noticed Cheng Yue's anger as well.
He simply did not understand where that anger had come from. Could it be that he had offended the other party back in the chaos?
However, Hongjun immediately rejected that thought.
His karmic ties should not have involved someone like this.
Aside from Yangmei and the others, the only person he had formed karmic ties with in the chaos was Pangu.
After all, he had obtained his Jade Plate of Creation from Pangu.
As for everyone else, there should not have been any karmic ties.
Just as he was about to think of something else, he saw Cheng Yue wave his hand.
A white blade of light flew from Cheng Yue's hand and shot straight toward Hongjun's face.
Hongjun was startled upon seeing this.
Then his scalp went numb.
He discovered that he seemed to have been locked onto by that attack and could not evade it no matter what he did.
In just a moment, the aura of death came rushing straight at him.
His face instantly turned pale, with a trace of speechless fury appearing on it.
He did not understand how exactly he had offended the other party.
Why had the other party unleashed a killing move right after introducing himself?
This was clearly an attempt to kill him.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Just as the white light was about to strike him, he finally understood.
The other party surpassed him by far. This was a realm that only a Sage, or rather, a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal, should possess.
"My life is over!"
In that instant, a crack suddenly appeared before him, and within it appeared a cold, emotionless pupil.
After blocking the attack, the crack vanished.
Only the still-shaken Hongjun remained standing where he was. As he looked at the situation before him, Hongjun grew somewhat panicked again.
"Senior, why did you draw swords against this junior the moment we met?!"
Hearing those familiar words, the image of a muscular Barbie cartoon character appeared in Cheng Yue's mind.
He immediately shook off that image, then looked at Hongjun and said,
"You're still alive. It seems you have some extraordinary Divine Treasure on you. Today, I will kill you, you dishonest old Daoist, lest you bring me karmic ties I should not have."
Having said that, he prepared to attack once more. This time, Cheng Yue used all his strength, releasing the pressure of a Golden Immortal and his aura of immortality.
Phenomena manifested around him. Cracks appeared one after another behind Cheng Yue, and deep within them, a golden river slowly split off a Branching Stream that flowed from the cracks and drifted above Cheng Yue's head.
Feeling that pressure, Hongjun's face went pale. His body swayed as though he were about to fall straight into the sea.
As the white light in Cheng Yue's hand grew brighter, Hongjun felt that he might truly die this time.
To die before accomplishing anything.
Would it not have been better to cultivate peacefully at home?
Why had he come out here to court disaster? If he had stayed home, he might even have become a Sage.
Why was he such an idiot?
A moment later, a voice transmission entered his mind.
Without doubting it, Hongjun hurriedly said,
"Senior, please forgive me. This humble Daoist is Daoist Junhong. That was merely a slip of the tongue, only a slip of the tongue. Please stay your hand, Senior."
After hearing that voice, Cheng Yue hesitated slightly and thought it over.
If he did this, Hongjun probably would not blame him afterward, right?
No, that was not safe. To be cautious, he should kill him first.
That would prevent any problems from arising later.
But just as he was thinking this over—
Thunder suddenly roared through the sky, centered precisely on Cheng Yue's location.
When he looked up at the sky, drops of blood-red rain began to fall.
Hongjun was utterly horrified when he saw that rain.
The heavens were weeping blood!
Why had the heavens suddenly sent down a rain of blood?
After thinking carefully, he recalled that the Eye of the Heavenly Dao seemed to have blocked an attack for him just now.
Under such circumstances, Hongjun was even more astonished.
A casual strike had severely injured the Heavenly Dao and created this scene of the heavens weeping blood.
What cultivation did this person possess? Was he really this terrifying?
Why had he come here today?
This person had not interfered with his path to enlightenment, so why had he come here to make trouble?
However, for the sake of his own life, he still hurriedly said,
"Senior, the heavens are weeping blood, the heavens are weeping blood! Please stop, Senior. Something major must be happening here. Please stop!"
Cheng Yue was shocked as well. He did not know what had caused the heavens to weep blood.
But thunderclouds densely filled the sky. Looking at this scene, something bad would probably happen again.
After gritting his teeth, he withdrew his aura.
He turned and glanced at the small island behind him, then at Hongjun before him.
Then he looked at the thunderclouds overhead.
"Damn it, this phenomenon will not attract some Great Power, will it? Whatever, I'm getting out of here first, in case something happens."
As he spoke, he pointed at the small island where his palace stood.
"Move Mountain!"
After the small island trembled, it rose directly into the air.
Hongjun was utterly shocked by the sight.
The land of the Primordial World had been opened by Pangu. The distribution and flow of its mountains should have been unshakable. To move an entire island so casually, he truly had to be a Great Power.
As he spoke, Cheng Yue took the island and flew farther south. Aidu Free Novels updated fastest, with no ads. Customer service for veteran readers could help you find the books you wanted!
As he flew, he could not help muttering,
"You damned old Daoist, don't let me see you again. I'll beat you up every time I see you. I just hope that old schemer does not find me."
While flying, Nuwa flew over as well. Seeing her master's strange actions, she could not help asking,
"Master, what are you doing?"
Cheng Yue turned to look at the center of the phenomenon behind them.
"Look at that phenomenon. It will definitely attract plenty of Great Powers. We should get away first, lest we provoke someone we should not."
Nuwa was startled upon hearing this. Running away was one thing, but was it really necessary to take the whole island along?
Cheng Yue did not want to, either, but this island was quite nice. More importantly, the palace he had built on it had become an acquired Merit Spiritual Treasure because of its merits.
The little beasts on the island also had some karmic ties with him. Taking the island with him meant he would not have to search for another place to settle down.
"Master, you truly are cautious."
Cheng Yue nodded. Then, with a solemn expression, he began speaking.
"Xiao Wa, remember this. Whenever you encounter an enemy, after killing them, to prevent them from escaping, you must remember that when you beat the young, the old will come. Therefore, try your best to ensure their body and soul are utterly destroyed."
"If that is not possible and the other party is too strong, then if they are below the Golden Immortal realm, you may lure them to me, and I will personally deal with them."
"Also, to ensure that their elders cannot detect you, it would be best if you possessed some Divine Ability capable of concealing heavenly secrets."
"However, I do not know such a Divine Ability either, so try not to cause trouble. Remember that!"
"If they are above the Golden Immortal realm, then handle them yourself. I cannot deal with those Great Powers either."
Everything he said at first sounded fairly normal, but when that final sentence came out, Nuwa's mouth twitched wildly.
Her master seemed to be far too afraid of death. Did he really need to be so cautious over such a trivial matter?
Was he really just selling out his disciple like that?
Should she tell Master about her cultivation?
No, there was no point in telling him. In Master's eyes, no one in the Primordial World should currently have a higher cultivation than his anyway.
Did that not mean she was already invincible?
Even if she casually provoked someone, she could always lure them back and let Master handle them.
Gradually, Nuwa's mindset underwent a slight change.
Even Cheng Yue began to feel that something was off, as though a chill were creeping up his back.
