Secret Arrangements

After leaving Luofu Cave, Li Xinghe suddenly thought of the Three Fairies of Auspiciousness, who were close to Zhao Gongming.

If he remembered correctly, the Three Fairies of Auspiciousness should have taken form around the same time as Zhao Gongming.

The three sisters were Yun Xiao, Qiong Xiao, and Bi Xiao. In later generations, they would all be figures capable of utterly crushing the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

In the past, Li Xinghe would have had no interest in meddling with the fates of such people.

But now that Ye Chen had appeared, he might be someone like Li Xinghe himself, someone intimately familiar with the historical course of the Primordial Wilderness. Even if Li Xinghe did nothing, Ye Chen probably would not let the matter rest.

Had Li Xinghe not acted today, the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls would likely have been seized by Ye Chen.

There were other treasures in this world as well. If Ye Chen secretly meddled with all of them, then when the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation came, Tongtian would likely have no chance of turning the tables.

With that thought, he secretly performed a divination before heading toward Three Immortal Island. Just as he had expected, the Three Fairies of Auspiciousness had already taken form.

It was said that the Three Fairies of Auspiciousness had been transformed from innate clouds and possessed astonishing talent. Later, they obtained the Hunyuan Golden Dou and the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, making them even more formidable.

During the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, the Three Fairies of Auspiciousness set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation and wiped out the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. This enraged Yuanshi Tianzun, who personally descended as a Saint to break the formation.

There were even rumors that if Saints did not intervene, the Three Fairies of Auspiciousness' Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation could have determined the outcome of the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.

Sorting through his memories of the Primordial Wilderness, Li Xinghe soon arrived at Three Immortal Island.

At this time, the Three Fairies of Auspiciousness were merely a few innocent young girls who had taken form not long ago. Because their foundations were fairly powerful, they had already reached the early Golden Immortal realm.

It was said that while the three sisters were still clouds and had yet to take form, they had forged a deep bond with Zhao Gongming, the Primordial Wilderness's first wisp of Qingfeng.

As the saying went, clouds followed the wind. After successfully taking form, Zhao Gongming and the Three Fairies of Auspiciousness became sworn siblings.

The Three Fairies of Auspiciousness had originally had no intention of participating in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation. Only after Zhao Gongming was ambushed did they angrily leave the island, which showed that their relationship was anything but ordinary.

These three sisters had boundless potential, yet after the Investiture of the Gods, they were reduced to lowly status and suppressed by those defeated lackeys of the Chan Sect.

Moreover, based on Li Xinghe's experience, the standard female leads for those overpowered cheats who transmigrated into the Primordial Wilderness were always the Three Fairies of Auspiciousness. Ye Chen was probably no good either.

He could not just stand by and watch three fine cabbages get rooted by a pig.

When Li Xinghe descended upon Three Immortal Island, Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao were still playing, while Yun Xiao alone cultivated diligently.

The Primordial World was filled with danger. They needed great strength to protect themselves.

"Are you Zhao Gongming's sworn sisters?" Li Xinghe directly revealed his powerful aura.

The three sisters were greatly startled. Li Xinghe's aura was far too powerful, but he did not seem to bear them any ill will.

"This junior is Yun Xiao. Greetings, Senior." As expected of the eldest of the Three Fairies of Auspiciousness, Yun Xiao did not panic even now.

Looking at the three peerlessly beautiful women before him, Li Xinghe thought, No wonder they were the women all those overpowered cheats of the Primordial Wilderness coveted.

But he already had Yuan Feng, so he had no other thoughts.

"Not long ago, Zhao Gongming encountered a great calamity and nearly perished. His Luofu Cave is likely no longer very safe." Li Xinghe was not trying to frighten them.

Given Ye Chen's disposition, he might not spare Zhao Gongming. After all, Zhao Gongming was someone who would one day crush the Twelve Golden Immortals.

"What? Is my elder brother all right?" Yun Xiao asked anxiously.

"He is fine for now, but what happens later is hard to say." Li Xinghe deliberately put on an inscrutable air.

The Three Fairies of Auspiciousness looked at one another. With Li Xinghe's cultivation, there was no need for him to deceive them.

"Thank you for the warning, Senior. We shall immediately bring our elder brother here," the three sisters said gratefully.

Li Xinghe nodded. This would ensure Zhao Gongming's safety while also allowing the Three Fairies of Auspiciousness to see Ye Chen's true colors, so they would not be fooled by him later.

"Although Three Immortal Island is not bad, its defenses are somewhat lacking. I shall set up a formation here to ensure that you remain safe."

With Li Xinghe's current strength, even a casually arranged formation would possess extraordinary power. At the very least, ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortals would be unable to break it.

There was another reason as well: the Three Fairies of Auspiciousness themselves were proficient in formations. He could consider this the forging of a good karmic bond.

Not long after, Li Xinghe finished setting up the formation and taught them the method of entering and leaving it. Then he drifted away, concealing both his achievements and his name.

Ye Chen, whether you are a transmigrator or not, don't even think about setting your sights on the Three Fairies of Auspiciousness. Li Xinghe sneered.

To him, all of this was merely minor squabbling. What truly required attention in the entire Primordial World was still the Dao-Demon Conflict.

During Hongjun's first clash with Luohu, Hongjun had realized that he was no match for him. He had already entered seclusion, hoping to refine the Pangu Banner as quickly as possible.

As his strength rose, the speed at which he refined Innate Divine Restrictions at this level would greatly increase.

Moreover, he possessed a fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation. It was something from a Chaos Supreme Treasure, unfathomably profound. Even Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortals might not be able to fully comprehend it.

Even so, he still had no confidence in dealing with Luohu.

As the Demon Ancestor, Luohu feared neither Cause and Effect nor Karmic Force. He possessed the World-Ending Millstone, the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, and the Twelve-Grade Black Lotus of World Destruction.

At present, Luohu had virtually no weaknesses. Once he broke through to the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm first, he would definitely take the initiative and attack.

When that time came, the entire Primordial Wilderness would fall into chaos. As long as he killed Hongjun, Luohu could truly rule the Primordial Wilderness and turn the entire Primordial World into a world for cultivators of the demonic path.

The only method Hongjun could think of was joining forces with the reincarnated forms of other Chaos Demon Gods to deal with Luohu.

But those top-level Demon Gods were each prouder than the last, and some even had grudges against him. Convincing them to help him would likely be difficult.

He had even considered joining forces with Li Xinghe, but when he thought of Li Xinghe's methods, he abandoned the idea.

Joining forces with Li Xinghe would be like seeking the skin of a tiger. One careless move, and all his efforts would merely become another man's wedding dress.

After calculating everything, the only people in the entire Primordial Wilderness he could ask were Yang Mei, Cause and Effect, Yin and Yang, Qian Kun, and the others.

He did not even include the Five Elements Demon God, since Hongjun had intended to kill him back in the land of the Five Elements Origin.

Before long, Hongjun contacted several Demon Gods, but none of them seemed particularly willing to pay him any attention.

A mere earthworm who had simply been lucky enough to obtain some Creation now wanted to use them.

Within Chaos, Yang Mei and Cause and Effect had somehow gotten together.

One had been suppressed by the Law of Time, while the other had been suppressed by the Law of Destiny. They were classic eternal runners-up.

But now, the mountains above their heads were gone, leaving only Li Xinghe.

Both had suffered at Li Xinghe's hands, so they had been secretly plotting how to deal with him.

"Yang Mei, Cause and Effect, I know you want to deal with Li Xinghe, but the two of you may not have the ability to do so." Hongjun went directly to the two top-level Demon Gods.

The Karma Demon God sneered. "Do you have a way, then?"

If Hongjun had not received the favor of the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, the Karma Demon God would not even have bothered with him.

After all, before the world was created, though they had both been among the Three Thousand Demon Gods, their statuses had been worlds apart.

Hongjun did not grow angry. He merely said indifferently, "Though I am not his match, I do have a way to deal with him."

"Oh? Let's hear it!" Yang Mei said with great interest.

The Karma Demon God also looked puzzled. Had Hongjun obtained some great Creation in the Primordial World?

"Do you two recognize this?" Hongjun took out a fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation with a smile.

Upon seeing it, Yang Mei and Cause and Effect both revealed greedy expressions. This was a fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation, something from a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

Pangu had surpassed the Three Thousand Demon Gods first because he had been nurtured by the Chaos Green Lotus, making him innately superior to most Demon Gods.

Moreover, the Pangu Axe possessed the strongest offensive power among all Chaos treasures.

But the greatest reason Pangu had been able to surpass everyone in the comprehension of laws, even reaching the Great Dao Realm, was the Jade Plate of Creation.
