Five Friends Gather, All Arrive at Mount Sumeru

Hongjun was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately cupped his hands toward Yangmei.

"Since that is the case, this old Daoist thanks you for agreeing, fellow Daoist!"

Then Hongjun continued speaking.

"I also plan to invite several more old friends, so I won't stay any longer!"

Yangmei cupped his hands toward Hongjun when he heard this.

"Do as you please, fellow Daoist! Once the time comes, this old Daoist will naturally be there!"

As soon as Hongjun heard this, he vanished directly before Yangmei.

Watching Hongjun leave, Yangmei let out a sigh.

"Alas, another tribulation. I wonder which fellow Daoists will depart this time. What a pity—it is all dictated by fate!"

Yangmei then closed his eyes and quickly immersed himself in comprehending the Great Dao.

As Yangmei comprehended the Dao, countless Laws of Space emerged around him, Dao Resonance spread through the air, and divine light filled the surroundings.

Upon closer inspection, his aura had long since reached perfection, without the slightest flaw.

After leaving Yangmei, Hongjun once again rushed toward the land, heading straight for the Dao Fields of Daoist Yin Yang, Daoist Qiankun, and Daoist Five Elements.

Since Daoist Yin Yang was closest to the Western Lands, Hongjun left him for last.

Daoist Five Elements' Dao Field.

Daoist Five Elements looked at Hongjun before him without joy or sorrow and slowly spoke.

"Fellow Daoist, what important matter brings you here this time?"

Hongjun then repeated what he had said at Yangmei's place.

Daoist Five Elements sighed inwardly when he heard this.

"Since fellow Daoist Hongjun has already asked, this old Daoist naturally has no reason to refuse."

Hongjun was delighted inside, but he did not show it on his face.

He cupped his hands toward the other party.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. Time is pressing, so I shall continue on to invite the other fellow Daoists to lend their aid!"

"Do as you please, fellow Daoist Hongjun!"

Afterward, Hongjun vanished from Daoist Five Elements' Dao Field and headed straight for Daoist Qiankun's Dao Field.

Soon, Hongjun arrived at Daoist Qiankun's Dao Field and, using the same method, successfully invited Daoist Qiankun.

At this moment, Hongjun had invited three peak Primordial Golden Immortals. Of them, Yangmei was the one whose strength Hongjun found most impossible to discern.

After inviting Daoist Qiankun, Hongjun had not failed to consider seeking the aid of other great experts in the Primordial Wilderness.

However, firstly, the only one he was familiar with who remained was Daoist Yin Yang in the Western Lands. Even if there were other Primordial Golden Immortals, he had little friendship with them, and they were all reclusive figures who rarely appeared.

For a moment, he had no solution.

In the end, Hongjun thought it over and could only head straight for Daoist Yin Yang's Dao Field.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, long time no see! I never expected you to come visit me today. I was wondering why I felt magpies chattering so loudly today! It turns out an honored guest has arrived!"

Hongjun had not expected that before he could even speak, Daoist Yin Yang would already warmly come out to welcome him.

Hongjun thought about it carefully and immediately understood the key point.

Daoist Yin Yang's Dao Field was located in the Western Lands. With Luohou making such a grand display of his arrangements across the Western Lands, it was obvious that a major move was coming.

And Daoist Yin Yang, located in the Western Lands, would be the first to bear the brunt.

Seeing Hongjun arrive, Daoist Yin Yang did not think too much about it and directly intended to draw him over to his side.

That was how the current situation had come about.

Seeing this, a glint flashed in the depths of Hongjun's eyes. He then calmly sized up Daoist Yin Yang.

"Fellow Daoist Yin Yang, why do you look so troubled? What happened?"

Daoist Yin Yang looked haggard and let out a sigh when he heard this.

"Alas, fellow Daoist Hongjun, I refuse to believe that you came from the East and failed to notice the current situation in the Western Lands!"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun stopped hiding his intentions and spoke bluntly.

"Oh, so you are troubled by that fellow Luohou's actions!"

"Isn't it obvious? You know that my Dao Field is right here. With Luohou making such a grand display, how could this old Daoist sit still?"

Hongjun let out an "oh" when he heard this, only then realizing what was going on.

"I see. As it happens, I previously invited fellow Daoists Qiankun and Five Elements as well!"

Daoist Yin Yang's worried expression remained unchanged.

"Alas, I see that fellow Daoist Hongjun had already made plans. It seems I was too anxious!"

"But Luohou's strength is quite formidable in itself, and he also has the Demon Race at his beck and call. I'm afraid that just the few of us won't be enough!"

After saying this, Daoist Yin Yang cast an indifferent glance at Hongjun.

Hongjun spoke calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Yin Yang, there is no need to worry. Since this old Daoist has spoken, I naturally would not fight a battle without certainty. Before this, I even made a trip to the East Sea."

When Daoist Yin Yang heard this, he instantly could not sit still. He rose in delight and looked at Hongjun in astonishment.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you invited fellow Daoist Yangmei as well?"

Daoist Yin Yang then paced back and forth several times in the Dao Field before suddenly turning around. His eyes shone brightly as he stared at Hongjun.

"If that is the case, then this matter should pose no great problem!"

Daoist Yin Yang failed to notice the barely perceptible strange glint that suddenly flashed through Hongjun's eyes.

However, Hongjun quickly concealed it.

At the same time, Hongjun rose to his feet and spoke to Daoist Yin Yang.

"In that case, come with this old Daoist. Let us go meet that fellow Luohou!"

Daoist Yin Yang readily agreed when he heard this.

He then took out the supreme treasure Taiji Diagram that he had acquired by chance, his Accompanying Spiritual Treasure, the Yin Yang Cauldron, the Yin Yang Sword, and other Spiritual Treasures. He rose from his Dao Field with Hongjun and headed straight for Mount Sumeru.

The two soon arrived near the place where Luohou had been making his arrangements.

Their figures had just landed when, not long afterward, they saw Yangmei and the other two arrive belatedly.

As soon as Yangmei and the other two arrived, they quickly cupped their hands toward the pair.

"Fellow Daoists Hongjun and Yin Yang!"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Yin Yang quickly returned Yangmei's greeting.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist Yangmei. It has been some time since we last met. Your strength has improved even further!"

Yangmei raised an eyebrow when he heard this, then glanced unobtrusively at Hongjun beside Daoist Yin Yang. He humbly addressed the other party.

"Not at all. Compared with fellow Daoist Hongjun, this old Daoist's small amount of strength is nothing worth mentioning."

The several people exchanged pleasantries for a while before Hongjun stepped forward.

"Fellow Daoists, you must all know what is about to happen, given why this old Daoist invited you here. I shall say no more. Let us go meet that fellow Luohou first!"

Hearing Hongjun say this, Daoist Yin Yang spoke impatiently.

"Good!"

"Let's go together!"

Yangmei and the others echoed him one after another.

Hongjun then looked at Yangmei and slowly spoke.

"I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist Yangmei!"

Among those present, when it came to using space and concealing one's figure, no one could compare with Yangmei.

Although Hongjun himself also grasped the Law of Space, he relied on the Jade Plate of Creation Fragment for it. Compared with Yangmei, there was still quite a gap.

Yangmei did not refuse. With a wave of his hand, countless willow branches seemed to sway around them. Then, an obscure ripple of the Law of Space appeared around each of them.

If they had not experienced it firsthand, even Hongjun and the others would have found it difficult to detect.

After Yangmei finished everything, a satisfied expression appeared on his face, and he spoke.

"All right, let's go."

At the same time, Luohou had also finished making all his arrangements. He then sat down in the place he had prepared, waiting for Hongjun to arrive.

He possessed a Jade Plate of Creation Fragment himself and knew that Hongjun would certainly come. However, he did not show the slightest trace of impatience on his face.
