Taichu Yang Mei transformed into Liu Guang and sped towards the Purple Cloud Palace.
Hongjun was already standing outside the Purple Cloud Palace, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.
"What brings you two fellow Daoists here?" Hongjun asked expressionlessly.
Yang Mei sneered, "Hongjun, don't pretend you don't know. Don't think we don't know what you've been secretly plotting lately."
Hongjun smiled and looked at Yang Mei: "Oh, fellow Daoist, I really didn't know. Please come inside, fellow Daoists!"
Yang Mei stepped forward, coldly looking at Hongjun: "You dare to try to dominate this world and break the balance between all parties. Your heart deserves to be punished."
Hongjun laughed loudly, "Fellow Daoist is joking. I would not dare to have such a thought. Please come inside, fellow Daoists. I happen to have some questions to ask you two."
Before he finished speaking, Hongjun gestured for him to enter.
Taichu smiled slightly, "Since you say so, fellow Daoist, then we two will respectfully comply."
As they spoke, the three of them entered the Purple Cloud Palace.
Hongjun spoke first, "Fellow Daoists, I already know your purpose in coming here. I was just about to seek your guidance."
"Oh, then tell me what brings us here?" Yang Mei asked Hongjun in an annoyed tone.
Hongjun was not angry. He said, "Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, please calm down. I dare not dream of your so-called domination of the Primordial Wilderness. The situation is beyond our control, and I understand this very well."
"Not to mention Hou Tu Daoist Houtu, who is the Lord of the Earth Dao and whose strength is no less than that of Taichu would not be able to survive with a wave of his hand."
"This old Daoist sees this very clearly, so please don't be angry, fellow Daoist. Let's let bygones be bygones. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei?"
"Hmph, at least you have some self-awareness!" Yang Mei snorted coldly, and the previous grudge was considered to be over.
Taichu looked at Hongjun and realized that although Hongjun had some reservations, he was sincere.
He also spoke up, saying, "Since Daoist Hongjun says so, I suppose Fellow Daoist Yang Mei will no longer hold it against you. You just said you had something to ask, is it about the Hundun?"
"What you say is true, fellow Daoist. This is exactly the matter. I am willing to follow your example, delve into the Hundun, and elevate the Primordial Wilderness."
Taichu nodded slightly. "Going deep into the Hundun is extremely dangerous. Daoist Hongjun, have you made thorough preparations?"
Hongjun laughed and said, "Of course I do. I have found some Primordial Purple Qi, which can protect my safety to some extent. In addition, I also obtained some rare treasures in my early years, so I still have some means to protect my life."
Upon hearing this, Yang Mei's expression softened slightly. "Even so, there are many variables in the Hundun. Not to mention the countless powerful beings in the Hundun, even the Remnant Will of the Chaos Demon Gods should not be underestimated."
Hongjun was taken aback. "That's precisely why I wanted to ask you two for your guidance. You two have entered and exited the Hundun many times, so you must have a lot of experience."
Taichu pondered for a moment, then asked, "May I ask how you plan to travel?"
"Of course, I am. I am going with several of my disciples. Both Laozi Yuanshi are people of Qi Wu, so I imagine they will have many opportunities in the Hundun."
"Although Jieyin and Jieyin and Zhunti are not as good as Laozi and Yuanshi, with me here, they can still provide some protection."
Taichu hearing this, Tai Chu frowned slightly. "Even so, those four are of low strength and are probably not suitable to venture deep into the Hundun. They can only walk on the edge of the Hundun."
"Oh, what do you mean by that? Fellow Daoist, why don't you explain in detail?"
So in the Taichu, Taichu described to Hongjun some of what he had seen and heard in the Hundun.
"This, this, is it really as you say, fellow Daoist?" Hongjun asked incredulously.
After all, this was very different from the Hundun he knew.
With the blessing of the Heavenly Dao and the assistance of the Creation Jade Disc, Hongjun was already a powerful figure at the sixth level of the Heavenly Dao Sage realm.
He originally thought that with his current cultivation level and the many spiritual treasures he possessed, he could walk freely in the Hundun, even if he couldn't roam freely.
Who would have thought that hearing Taichu's description would completely overturn his understanding?
Seeing Hongjun's shock, Yang Mei also spoke slowly:
"There's nothing surprising about it. What Fellow Daoist Taichu is talking about is something I've never encountered before. The Hundun we knew before should be in a different plane than the Hundun we have now."
Hongjun was even more puzzled after hearing this. "Not in the same plane? This is too unbelievable."
"That's right. If the old Daoist is not mistaken, the Hundun we were in before was just the tip of the iceberg. Perhaps it was just a separate division created by a great supernatural being."
" In the Hundun world, the power dynamics are complex and varied. If a great supernatural being can create enough worlds, the power of faith alone can help them cultivate quickly. Therefore, the old Daoist's guess is not without basis."
Upon hearing Taichu and Yang Mei's account, Hongjun immediately lost all desire to venture into the Hundun.
The old Daoist Hongjun of the Taichu showed fear on his face and said, "Fellow Daoist, there is no need to be so worried. It is indeed the case in the Depths of Chaos. If you do not go deep into it, you do not need to worry. With your cultivation level, you will be safe and sound!"
Hongjun nodded silently after hearing this.
At this point, the style of the Taichu era changed:
"Fellow Daoist, don't blame me for not reminding you, if the Primordial Wilderness is to thrive, the Three Ways of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity must emerge together. At that time, everyone will benefit. Fellow Daoist, don't trap yourself in your own trap."
Now that things have come to this point, even if Hongjun wanted to pretend, he couldn't keep up the act any longer.
Hongjun spoke sincerely, looking at Taichu and Yang Mei: "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, Hongjun did have selfish motives before."
"But I am inextricably linked to the Primordial Wilderness, so naturally I hope that the Primordial Wilderness will develop in a positive direction. No matter when humanity emerges, I will not stop it. Please rest assured, fellow Daoist."
Taichu smiled slightly, "That's very good. Then I wonder when Daoist Hongjun plans to set off?"
After a moment's thought, Hongjun had his answer, "Then let's wait for Laozi to break through. As the representative of the Heavenly Dao, I also need to do my part for the Primordial Wilderness."
"Very well. Daoist Hongjun, you must have a plan in mind. We shall take our leave."
After Taichu and Yang Mei left, Hongjun sat alone in the Purple Cloud Palace for a long time.
He knew, of course, that Taichu Yang Mei wasn't lying to him.
However, the Hundun world was very different from what he had imagined.
Yang Mei, upon returning to the Three Immortals Island, looked at Taichu with a puzzled expression. "Brother, you trust Hongjun so much. Aren't you afraid that Old Man Hongjun is deceiving you and me?"
Taichu Chu laughed heartily, "Brother Dao, times have changed. Even if Hongjun is the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao now, so what?"
After a moment's thought, Yang Mei felt relieved.
Indeed, nowadays, not to mention the lineage of the Dao Protection Sect, even an Earth Dao Sage can instantly defeat the Heavenly Dao. It's unlikely that Hongjun could cause any trouble.
Taichu and Yang Mei entered the Chaos Pearl, while Six-Eared Macaque was already on his way to a breakthrough.
Within the Chaos Pearl, spiritual energy surged incessantly, causing considerable fluctuations even though the Taichu Avatar intended to control it.
