The Dao-Demon Conflict, Hongjun on the Move

It is said that after the Primordial Wilderness endured the Fierce Beast Tribulation.

With the aid of Merit, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races rose rapidly once more. The ancestors of the Three Races led their clans to dominate the Primordial Wilderness!

They all swore to rule the Ten Thousand Races of the Primordial Wilderness and become the protagonists of Heaven and Earth!

However, their good fortune did not last. After countless Eons of conflict, the Three Races fought until countless mountains and rivers in the Primordial Wilderness were shattered, Spirit Veins became barren, and Karmic Debt ran rampant.

In the end, they all faded from the stage, leaving the Three Races to withdraw from the world and no longer appear!

Among the three ancestors, Ancestor Dragon suppressed the eyes of the Four Seas with his body, bearing most of his race's Karmic Debt in exchange for the Dragon Clan's bloodline continuing.

Yuan Feng of the Phoenix Clan suppressed the Volcano of Immortality with his body, exchanging himself so that the Phoenix Clan would not perish completely and leave no bloodline behind!

As for Beginning Qilin of the Qilin Clan, he merged his body with the Primordial Land. The entire Qilin Clan withdrew into seclusion and transformed into auspicious omens. They would not appear unless an Opportunity arose, allowing a few of their bloodlines to continue!

The struggle among the Three Races for supremacy over the Primordial Wilderness became known as the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation!

With the Three Races withdrawing from the Primordial Wilderness, the Ten Thousand Races finally gained a chance to catch their breath!

However, beneath the calm surface, undercurrents were surging!

Western Mount Sumeru!

This was Luohou's main stronghold. He had originally been a trace of the Spiritual Light of the Destruction Demon God Luohou, reincarnated into the Primordial Wilderness!

Yet Luohou had never considered himself a Chaos Demon God. Instead, he believed himself to be a pure-blooded Innate Divine Being of the Primordial Wilderness!

Even after Luohou broke through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm and obtained the memories contained within that trace of Spiritual Light, this point still did not change!

Although Luohou did not consider himself a Chaos Demon God and destroy the Primordial Wilderness,

he still followed the Great Dao he cultivated and created a new race!

The Demon Race!

At the same time, in order to attain Hunyuan, Luohou obtained a fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation and gained insight into the secrets of Heaven.

To attain Hunyuan, he had to compete with his opponent!

This was the Dao Struggle between Luohou and Hongjun!

The Dao Struggle could not be avoided. Only by crossing it could one advance further!

And Luohou's opponent was Hongjun, who had likewise obtained a fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation!

The two of them both knew that a battle between them was inevitable. To secure final victory in that battle, they directly resorted to any means necessary and schemed against the Three Races!

Hongjun directly handed the method of attaining the Dao through Fortune to the Three Races. Once the Three Races were completely defeated, most of the Fortune that originally belonged to them would converge upon Hongjun!

And Fortune was also an essential factor in cultivation!

Hongjun and Luohou were already mighty figures at the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal (Quasi-Saint) realm.

They were both among the most powerful existences in the Primordial Wilderness!

After seeing through Hongjun's scheme, Luohou decided to turn it to his own advantage!

He also discovered an astonishing Grand Array beneath Mount Sumeru, along with four peerless and ominous swords!

When Luohou discovered it, he realized that this astonishing Grand Array needed to be nurtured by endless baleful energy and the blood of countless living beings, among other things!

Thus, Luohou provoked the Three Races, causing their conflicts to continue without end and grow increasingly intense!

Since the Three Races wanted to dominate the Primordial Wilderness, they could not avoid resorting to war!

This would produce endless baleful energy and the resentment of living beings, which was exactly what could be used to nourish the ominous array!

With the fall of the Three Races, this world-shaking ominous array was finally fully nurtured!

"The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation can finally appear in the world. Hongjun, I will definitely make you understand my power!"

"I want to see how you plan to break my Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. Once you die within it, that will be the moment I attain Hunyuan!"

Luohou gazed at the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation beneath Mount Sumeru. It had been fully nurtured and radiated soul-stirring, unimaginable power.

He muttered to himself!

Then a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes, and his face twisted.

His gaze suddenly turned toward the Eastern Land, toward Jade Capital Mountain, which floated in the void beside Kunlun Mountain, both hidden and not hidden!

"Hongjun, the time has come for you and me to determine who is superior!"

Luohou then summoned the higher-ups of the Demon Race, including Jidu and other Demon Race experts who had broken through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!

"Follow me and make arrangements across the Western Land. This time, I want Hongjun to come and never return!"

Hearing Luohou's domineering words, Jidu and the other members of the Demon Race were all stirred into action!

Their faces revealed excitement, and they spoke one after another!

"Understood! We will definitely not disappoint Demon Ancestor!"

Luohou took the lead, with Jidu and the other members of the Demon Race following close behind. They all rushed to the battlefield to make preparations and await Hongjun's arrival!

At the same time, on Jade Capital Mountain!

When Luohou's gaze fell upon this place, Hongjun felt a sudden tremor in his heart!

His eyes immediately snapped open, and he quickly looked toward the Western Lands.

His gaze finally landed on Mount Sumeru!

Hearing this, a grave expression appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself!

"Not good. This time will be extremely dangerous. It seems I must seek the help of a few old friends!"

As Hongjun opened his eyes, the two Dao boys on Jade Capital Mountain quickly asked,

"Master, what happened?"

Seeing this, Hongjun quickly calmed his emotions before waving his hand at the two of them.

"Nothing. You two just guard the Dao Field. I'm going out for a while!"

As soon as Hongjun finished speaking, his figure vanished directly from the Dao Field!

Seeing Hongjun leave, the two Dao boys did not pay it any mind. They assumed that Hongjun had gone traveling through the Primordial Wilderness!

They were already used to it!

After leaving Jade Capital Mountain, Hongjun murmured,

"Who should I seek first for help?"

Then a glint flashed through Hongjun's eyes, and he looked directly toward the East Sea!

"Since Heaven's will has arranged it this way, I'll pay a visit to Daoist Yangmei first!"

A ripple spread out, and a portal appeared. Hongjun immediately stepped into the Space Portal.

When Hongjun appeared again, he was already above the East Sea, on an unknown island!

The scenery there was pleasant. Most importantly, at the center of the island, beside the lakeshore, stood a huge, upright Willow Tree!

Beneath the Willow Tree, not far away, stood a thatched cottage!

The cottage contained endless Dao Resonance. It seemed to be right before one's eyes, yet also as if it were in a distant place!

Beneath the thatched cottage, an old man with silver-white eyebrows sat upright on a Pouf.

Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes and looked outside the island!

"A magpie's call, a stirring in my heart. So a distinguished guest has arrived. It seems this will not be a simple matter!"

"So be it. There is no avoiding it. I hope that after this, I can put my mind at ease and devote myself wholeheartedly to the Dao!"

"The Primordial Wilderness is ultimately still a matter of karma!"

The old man was none other than Yangmei, the Space Demon God most familiar to Taichu from the time they were in Chaos!

"Since you have come, Daoist, why not come onto the island and have a chat?"

Having made his decision, Yangmei did not hesitate and directly invited him.

As soon as Yangmei finished speaking, Hongjun's figure appeared opposite him.

Yangmei raised his eyebrows at the sight, and a sharp glint flashed through his eyes!

He then waved his right hand, and two cups of tea appeared on the Stone Table before him.

Yangmei extended his right hand toward Hongjun and invited him,

"Daoist, please!"

Hongjun sat opposite Yangmei. He then reached out with his right hand, picked up the cup of tea before him, and slowly drank it!

A sharp glint emerged in his eyes, but his face remained completely impassive!

"Enlightenment Tea. Daoist, you certainly have great Fortune. I never expected this item to fall into your hands!"

At this, Yangmei smiled, while an image surfaced in his mind!

"It is merely a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root! Compared with your Ren-Water Immortal Peach, Daoist, it still falls somewhat short!"

Yangmei smiled, then looked at Hongjun and asked,

"May I ask why you have come this time?"

After speaking, Yangmei calmly stared at him.

Hongjun's expression turned solemn as he slowly began to explain,

"You should have heard something about the Three Races, Daoist?"

Yangmei nodded indifferently, his expression unchanged!

"That Luohou provoked the Three Races, causing them to fight for supremacy over the Primordial Wilderness and leaving devastation in their wake. I do not know what his purpose is, but now he has gone to the Western Lands and leads the Demon Race with overwhelming arrogance, his demonic flames soaring into the heavens!"

"This old Daoist received a revelation from Heaven's secrets. Luohou is preparing to slaughter all living beings and attain the Dao through killing! I truly cannot deal with him alone, so I have shamelessly come to ask an old friend for aid. Help me eliminate this evil man and restore peace to the Primordial Wilderness!"

After speaking, Hongjun stared fixedly at Yangmei, waiting for his answer.

Yangmei pondered for a moment before sighing.

"Very well. Since an old friend has asked this of me, if I still refused, I would seem rather heartless!"
