Noticed by Old Ancestor Wuxing

Hongjun's eyes darted about before he was the first to speak.

The dozen or so powerful figures present were all former Chaos Demon Gods reincarnated into the Primordial Wilderness. None of them were easy to deal with.

Using a tiger's hide as a banner, Hongjun invoked the names of the former Chaos Demon Gods as soon as he opened his mouth and questioned Old Ancestor Wuxing.

"Hehe, Daoist Friend Hongjun, you certainly have a fine scheme—using a tiger's hide as a banner, are you?

"I may have been the first to arrive, but I discovered nothing.

"By the time I arrived, the Will of Pangu had already dissipated.

"As for who set up this memorial tablet here to worship Pangu, I have no way of knowing.

"How about it, Daoist Friend Hongjun? Why don't you step forward and inspect this Pangu memorial tablet on behalf of everyone? See what is strange about it."

Hongjun's little scheme had practically smacked Old Ancestor Wuxing right in the face.

With a wave of his hand, Five Elements directly displayed the scene from when he had arrived at Buzhou Mountain's summit.

He had once regarded Hongjun as a friend, yet he had never expected that Old Thief Hongjun would be so deeply calculating.

It seems I'll have to be careful around Hongjun in the future, lest he screws me over someday and I end up applauding him for it.

I treat you as a friend, and you treat me like your grandson, is that it?

Hongjun had no idea that a single sentence had made Five Elements wary of him.

In the future Dao-Devil War between Hongjun and Luohu, asking Old Ancestor Wuxing to test the waters for him would now be utterly impossible.

Because of one sentence, Hongjun had lost a cannon-fodder pawn to test the waters for him.

If Taiqing had known what was happening atop Buzhou Mountain at this moment, that Hongjun had offended Five Elements—

He surely would have laughed like a pig.

Because of a single act of worship, the Dao-Devil War between Hongjun and Luohu had become filled with uncertainty.

Hongjun was the first to lose a cannon-fodder pawn in Old Ancestor Wuxing.

During the Dao-Devil War, Hongjun had tricked quite a few people into becoming cannon fodder for him.

Old Ancestor Wuxing had been among them, and in the end, he had self-destructed, perishing with his Dao extinguished.

All of this had changed because Taiqing came to worship Pangu.

"Haha, Daoist Friend Wuxing, you jest. This Poor Daoist's strength is meager; even during the Chaos era, I could not compare to my fellow Daoists.

"In this Primordial Wilderness, how could there possibly be any place for Hongjun to speak?"

Seeing all the Demon Gods looking at him, Hongjun laughed awkwardly and hurriedly admitted weakness.

His grave injuries had yet to heal, so it was not suitable for him to clash with these people. This debt could only be settled later.

Moreover, Luohu beside him was eyeing him like a tiger eyeing its prey. He absolutely could not let Luohu discover that he was severely injured.

Otherwise, the Dao-Devil War might begin ahead of schedule.

In his severely injured state, Hongjun stood no chance against Luohu.

"Daoist Friend Yang Mei, what do you think of this matter? How should we deal with this Pangu memorial tablet?"

When the scene fell silent for a time, Hongjun looked toward Old Ancestor Yang Mei.

Old Ancestor Yang Mei was the reincarnation of the Space Demon God, the reincarnation of the third-ranked Demon God of the Chaos era, and also the one with the highest cultivation among those present.

Yang Mei's cultivation was profound; he was already a Peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal Great Power.

He was a minor realm above everyone else present.

If one asked who among them had the greatest right to speak, it would undoubtedly be Old Ancestor Yang Mei.

Hearing Hongjun's words, the powerful figures all turned their gazes toward Old Ancestor Yang Mei and awaited his answer.

"Fellow Daoists, since the Will of Pangu has reacted once again but took no further action,

"I can infer that the Will of Pangu must be subject to some restriction and cannot remain in the Primordial Wilderness for long.

"Otherwise, the Will of Pangu would likely have long since taken control of the entire Primordial Wilderness.

"If that were the case, how could the Heavenly Dao have emerged to govern the Primordial Wilderness?

"What we must determine now is which living being erected this memorial tablet for Pangu and worshipped him.

"Presumably, that being who worshipped him learned or obtained something from the Will of Pangu.

"As for this Pangu memorial tablet, you may decide for yourselves. This Poor Daoist has no interest in it."

Yang Mei voiced his conjecture. As expected of the reincarnation of the Space Demon God and the third-ranked Chaos Demon God, his guess was already very close to the truth.

The powerful figures present also nodded in agreement.

As for the Pangu memorial tablet, whoever wanted to deal with it could do so. Old Ancestor Yang Mei would not touch that thing.

What if he touched the memorial tablet and the Will of Pangu suddenly emerged to cleave him apart with an axe?

Who would Yang Mei go to for justice then?

Among those present, Yang Mei had the highest cultivation.

Even if the other Demon Gods touched the Pangu memorial tablet and gained something from it, it would be effortless for Yang Mei to claim a share.

That was the benefit of great strength: he could sit securely and wait for the fish to bite.

Now it was the other Demon Gods' turn to choose whether to inspect the Pangu memorial tablet.

Inspecting it might yield some information or treasure.

But it was even more likely that the Will of Pangu would leap out and give them an axe strike.

"There is nothing worth seeing in a mere memorial tablet. It is only for worshipping that bastard Pangu.

"I, Luohu, will not inspect it. Fellow Daoists, please do as you please."

Luohu was the first to speak. Though arrogant, he was equally afraid that the Will of Pangu would suddenly jump out of that memorial tablet and split him apart.

It was better to respond to all changes by remaining unchanged. It would be best if some Demon God stepped forward to test the waters; if none did, it did not matter.

In any case, the Will of Pangu had sunk back into silence, and it had no effect on them now.

Seeing Luohu speak, the other Demon Gods readily followed his lead and stated that they would not involve themselves.

After everyone had made their stance known, the scene fell silent once more.

"Since we can no longer uncover any useful information, I shall take my leave first.

"Fellow Daoists, until we meet again."

Seeing that everyone had lost interest in investigating, Yang Mei decided to be the first to leave.

Rather than standing here staring blankly, he might as well return to his Daoist Arena and cultivate.

He was already a Peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal. With just a little more effort, perhaps he might attain the Dao of a Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal in the next moment.

The Primordial Wilderness was ultimately a world where strength reigned supreme. The Will of Pangu, no matter how powerful, had nothing to do with Yang Mei.

What mattered most was strengthening himself.

Transforming into a streak of light, Yang Mei flew toward the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

Seeing Yang Mei depart, the other Demon Gods also left one after another.

Only Old Ancestor Wuxing and Old Thief Hongjun remained at the end.

Old Ancestor Wuxing was deep in thought when a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.

"Wait. Worship... Before I reached the summit, I encountered a Grand Unity Golden Immortal living being.

"Could it be that living being worshipped Pangu and triggered the Will of Pangu?"

Old Ancestor Wuxing suddenly recalled Taiqing, whom he had encountered while climbing the mountain.

At the time, he had paid little attention to him. He was merely a Grand Unity Golden Immortal ant, not someone Old Ancestor Wuxing took seriously.

Thinking back now, that person had definitely been the living being who worshipped Pangu.

Pangu's Pressure on Buzhou Mountain was immense.

Even reincarnated Chaos Demon Gods like them, Hunyuan Golden Immortal Great Powers, could only resist Pangu's Pressure through secret techniques.

Yet that Grand Unity Golden Immortal living being had been able to walk steadily upon Buzhou Mountain.

Furthermore, no living beings had been born atop Buzhou Mountain at all.

Aside from that Grand Unity Golden Immortal living being he had encountered, there had not been a single other living being.

How could that not explain everything?

"That living being definitely obtained some information or treasure from the Will of Pangu.

"I must hurry down the mountain and find him."

Old Ancestor Wuxing immediately prepared to descend the mountain and pursue Taiqing.

But when he saw that Old Thief Hongjun was still watching him from the side, Old Ancestor Wuxing immediately halted.

Old Ancestor Wuxing had no habit of sharing information with others.

Especially not with this fellow—Old Thief Hongjun, whose true colors he had just seen.
