"Daoist Friend Hongjun, why haven't you left yet? Could it be that you still wish to investigate Pangu's memorial tablet?
"Then go ahead and investigate it properly. This Poor Daoist will not keep you company.
"Good luck, Daoist Friend. Hahaha~."
Having said that, regardless of Old Ancestor Hongjun's reaction, Old Ancestor Wuxing turned into a streak of light and rushed toward the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
He had said those things to dispel Hongjun's suspicions and prevent that Old Thief Hongjun from following him.
That final wish of good luck was an even sharper thorn planted in Hongjun's heart.
What did he mean by wishing him good luck? Wasn't that clearly cursing Hongjun?
May the Will of Pangu leap out and cleave Hongjun in two with an axe when he investigated Pangu's memorial tablet.
If they would not investigate Pangu's memorial tablet, then Hongjun should not even think of doing so.
Did Hongjun dare take that risk?
Old Ancestor Wuxing left laughing, leaving only Old Thief Hongjun standing there with a deeply conflicted expression.
Hongjun understood Old Ancestor Wuxing's final remark. It sounded like a blessing, but it was actually filled with malicious intent.
Hongjun had indeed intended to stay behind and secretly investigate Pangu's memorial tablet himself.
But after Old Ancestor Wuxing's remark, he became hesitant and somewhat afraid to investigate it.
"Ah~, forget it. I should descend the mountain first. There is no need to look at Pangu's memorial tablet.
"I should return and heal my injuries as soon as possible. Attaining the Dao early is the proper matter; everything else is not worth mentioning before strength.
"The final battle with Luohu is imminent. It would be unwise to create further complications."
After struggling for a while, Hongjun finally sighed. He did not have the courage to investigate Pangu's memorial tablet.
Turning into a streak of light, Hongjun left Buzhou Mountain's summit.
However, intentionally or otherwise, Hongjun headed in the direction Old Ancestor Wuxing had gone.
"What is going on? Why do I feel such an enormous sense of danger, as though a great calamity is about to befall me?"
On Buzhou Mountain, Taiqing concealed his form and aura as he slowly made his way down the mountain.
Yet at that moment, an immense sense of danger rose within him. In his Primordial Spirit, the three World-Opening Supreme Treasures also trembled in warning.
"A great calamity? Since my birth, I have not encountered any living being capable of posing a fatal threat to me.
"If there is anyone who could threaten my life, it would only be the Fire Qilin of the Qilin Clan.
"But the Qilin Clan is currently deeply embroiled in the Tribulation. The Fire Qilin must guard its clan grounds and could not possibly come to Buzhou Mountain to seek me out."
Taiqing thought it over but could not find anything that could threaten him.
He had not heard of any dangerous forbidden lands on Buzhou Mountain either.
Other than Pangu's Pressure, the most dangerous thing here, there seemed to be nowhere dangerous.
And Pangu's Pressure had been quite kind to him, even helping strengthen his physical body.
"No matter what, I should leave first. This warning is growing stronger and stronger."
Taiqing increased his speed. At the same time, he used the Taiji Diagram to conceal his form and aura, while the Chaos Bell erased every trace.
"What is going on? Why can I no longer sense that Grand Unity Golden Immortal ant?"
Old Ancestor Wuxing descended the mountain at top speed, hurrying toward the place where he had previously seen Taiqing.
But after searching that location, he found nothing. When he tried to deduce the matter, he discovered that every trace of Taiqing had vanished.
"That Grand Unity Golden Immortal truly has a problem. He can actually evade my calculations.
"He most likely obtained some supreme treasure from the Will of Pangu.
"The treasure erased his information and shielded him from deduction."
Old Ancestor Wuxing sneered, then unleashed the Five Elements Law to search heaven and scour earth.
He intended to use the Five Elements Law to penetrate the Five Elements of heaven and earth and locate Taiqing.
Meanwhile, an unknown distance behind Old Ancestor Wuxing, Old Thief Hongjun was furtively hiding in the shadows.
Seeing Old Ancestor Wuxing investigating the area before using the Five Elements Law to search heaven and earth, he revealed an expression of knowing it all along.
"Sure enough, Five Elements is up to no good. He clearly discovered something and wants to keep it all for himself. Dream on.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. Today, I shall be the oriole."
Using a fragment of the Jade of Creation to conceal his aura, Hongjun quietly followed Old Ancestor Wuxing.
"Found you. Let's see where you can run now!"
After using the Five Elements Law to search heaven and earth, Old Ancestor Wuxing finally found traces of Taiqing.
He immediately turned into a streak of light and flew toward Taiqing.
At the same time, Taiqing felt his soul nearly leave his body. Alarm bells rang wildly in his heart, and his mind trembled.
The three World-Opening Supreme Treasures also shook violently to warn him.
"The danger is getting closer! What exactly is it...
"Wait, the Five Elements Law!
"Oh no! It's that bastard Old Ancestor Wuxing!"
Taiqing sensed the probing presence of the Five Elements Law around him. He was instantly shocked, every hair standing on end as he sprang up.
Now that he felt the Five Elements Law probing him, how could he fail to understand that the danger in his heart came from Old Ancestor Wuxing?
"Run! If I do not leave now, today may be the day I perish utterly."
Taiqing no longer concealed any information. Turning into a streak of light, he fled madly.
He no longer cared about any Innate Spiritual Roots or Lingbao he encountered along the way, simply accelerating with all his might.
"Little thief, stop!"
Old Ancestor Wuxing's Dao Sound entered Taiqing's Primordial Spirit. Rather than slowing down, Taiqing fled even faster.
Old Ancestor Wuxing was still an unknown distance away; he was merely using the Five Elements Law to transmit his Dao Sound.
If Taiqing hesitated even slightly, Old Ancestor Wuxing would likely catch up.
Old Ancestor Wuxing was no benevolent soul. Once Taiqing was caught, how could he possibly survive?
Even if he somehow escaped with his life, his Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and Chaos Bell would most likely be taken from him.
"Daoist Friend Wuxing, have you discovered something? Why not share it with me, Hongjun?"
Hongjun's voice sounded from behind.
With the help of a fragment of the Jade of Creation, Hongjun could barely wield the Five Elements Law.
"Little friend, I am Old Ancestor Hongjun. I can protect you. How about you tell me what you know?"
Using a fragment of the Jade of Creation and following the traces of Old Ancestor Wuxing's law, Hongjun transmitted his voice to Taiqing.
Although he could transmit his voice, he could not make further deductions.
Thus, Hongjun did not know that the little friend he spoke of was one of the Sanqing he had once sought.
"Old Thief Hongjun, why is this bastard chasing after me too?!"
Taiqing did not answer and instead pushed his supreme treasures to accelerate madly.
Falling into Old Thief Hongjun's hands would be even worse than falling into Old Ancestor Wuxing's.
Seeing that Taiqing ignored him, Hongjun secretly found it a pity. He could not easily seize the supreme treasures in that ant's hands.
"Little friend, do not be afraid. I am Old Ancestor Wuxing. I merely wish to ask you a few questions."
Seeing Hongjun act this way, Old Ancestor Wuxing also put on a kind and benevolent appearance, speaking in a gentle voice.
Taiqing paid him no heed and only continued accelerating.
Just then, Taiqing sensed an unusual fluctuation ahead.
"An Innate Great Formation! I knew I was the protagonist. When a powerful enemy pursues me, I run into an Innate Great Formation.
"I'll hide inside first."
Ahead of Taiqing, an Innate Great Formation emitted strange fluctuations. Without hesitation, Taiqing rushed into it.
As Taiqing entered, the Innate Great Formation vanished into the void.
Five Elements, who was pursuing him from behind, immediately lost Taiqing's Five Elements information and was dumbfounded.
"How is this possible? How could a mere Grand Unity Golden Immortal ant escape the search of my Five Elements Law?"
Old Ancestor Wuxing swiftly followed the information Taiqing had left behind and arrived at the place where Taiqing had last disappeared.
Old Ancestor Wuxing did not sense the aura of the Innate Great Formation.
