"I am Xuanqing, born into the world today!"
Xuanqing slowly opened his eyes. Divine light flickered within them as an immensely powerful aura erupted from his body.
Xuanqing had astonishingly reached the Early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
But on second thought, it made sense. Although the blood within this Blood Pool was not Pangu's Essence Blood, it was still Pangu's blood.
Combined with Taiqing's Primordial Spirit, which was itself connected to Pangu's Primordial Spirit in essence,
the two together giving birth to an Early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal was nothing unusual.
"Xuanqing greets you, Daoist Friend."
Xuanqing leaped out of the Blood Pool. Clothes naturally appeared upon his body, and he cupped his hands toward Taiqing in salute.
"Greetings, Daoist Friend Xuanqing. From now on, you shall walk the Primordial Wilderness in my stead. Go."
Taiqing likewise cupped his hands and returned the salute to his own incarnation, Xuanqing.
To avoid Ancestor Reincarnation noticing anything, Taiqing had deliberately severed the connection between Xuanqing and himself.
Strictly speaking, Xuanqing already counted as a completely independent individual.
However, Taiqing could still reclaim Xuanqing.
"Rest assured, Daoist Friend. I will bring back the Law of Reincarnation and deliver it to Sister Houtu."
Xuanqing cupped his hands in salute and prepared to head outside Pangu Hall.
"Brother Xuanqing, be careful in all things."
Having heard Xuanqing and Brother Taiqing's conversation, how could Houtu not know that Brother Taiqing had created this incarnation entirely for her sake?
Thus, Houtu directly addressed Xuanqing as her brother.
"Rest assured, Sister Houtu. You must not put too much pressure on yourself.
I will bring the Law of Reincarnation back for you."
Xuanqing spoke gently.
"Daoist Friend, can you use One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?"
Taiqing suddenly asked.
He was somewhat eager to see whether his incarnation could master a divine ability like One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.
Xuanqing briefly sensed himself.
"No."
Xuanqing answered decisively.
Hearing Xuanqing's answer, Taiqing was slightly disappointed.
But he quickly accepted it.
One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones was such a heaven-defying divine ability.
If even an incarnation could master it, that would be even more absurd and insidious.
That would be insidious beyond all bounds.
If his incarnations could all control One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Taiqing could simply create more incarnations.
At that point, Taiqing alone would be an army. One man would be a powerful race, a powerful force.
"Take care!"
After cupping his hands toward Xuanqing in salute, Taiqing sat cross-legged beside the Blood Pool and closed his eyes to cultivate.
He was about to begin comprehending Time, Space Law, and the Eight Trigram Deduction Method.
"Farewell!"
Xuanqing cupped his hands in salute, then shot toward the outside of Pangu Hall.
After leaving Pangu Hall, Xuanqing did not hesitate and sped directly toward the place where Ancestor Reincarnation's Daoist Arena was supposedly located.
Meanwhile, on the Eastern Continent, within a Daoist Arena where Five Elements Law surged through the air.
An elderly man with an immortal bearing and Daoist bones walked out of the Daoist Arena with a dark expression.
This old man was none other than Daoist Hongjun.
And this Daoist Arena naturally belonged to Old Ancestor Wuxing.
"Damn it! Why did Five Elements refuse my invitation?"
"He had been quite supportive of the battle between Luohu and me before."
"What exactly happened in the meantime? How did Five Elements change his tune so quickly?"
As he flew, Hongjun pondered with a grim face.
He truly could not understand why Five Elements had refused him. During their previous Dao discussions, Five Elements had agreed readily enough.
He had said that he would definitely support the battle between Hongjun and Luohu.
Yet when the time came for Hongjun and Luohu's final battle, Old Ancestor Wuxing had changed his mind.
Hongjun did not yet know that Old Ancestor Wuxing had refused to help him entirely because Hongjun had run his mouth atop Buzhou Mountain.
That single bout of loose talk had allowed Old Ancestor Wuxing to see Hongjun's true face clearly.
Old Thief Hongjun merely wanted to use them as cannon fodder, letting them test the waters for his battle against Luohu.
And the cause of all this was Taiqing's worship of Pangu atop Buzhou Mountain.
Because of Taiqing's actions, the final battle between Hongjun and Luohu had suddenly become unpredictable.
"Hmph! Old Thief Hongjun, don't think I don't know what you're planning."
"You want me to get involved in the final battle between you two, so I can test the waters and serve as cannon fodder for you."
"Dream on!"
Seeing Hongjun leave his Daoist Arena in such a sorry state, Old Ancestor Wuxing snorted coldly. His eyes were filled with contempt for Hongjun.
"No, Hongjun has schemed against me like this. If I don't return the favor, won't it make me seem afraid of Old Thief Hongjun?"
"Let me see who Old Thief Hongjun plans to drag into his schemes next."
"Whoever you want to scheme against is none of my business, but I refuse to let you have your way!"
Old Ancestor Wuxing was also the sort to repay every grievance. Since Hongjun had schemed against him like this, he had to return the favor.
"So he plans to visit Daoist Friend Yin Yang's Daoist Arena and scheme against Daoist Friend Yin Yang, does he?"
"Then I'll get there ahead of you and warn Daoist Friend Yin Yang, so you return empty-handed."
After performing a deduction, Old Ancestor Wuxing confirmed that the next person Hongjun intended to seek out was Yin-Yang Ancestor.
Without further hesitation, Old Ancestor Wuxing transformed into a five-colored streak of light and vanished beyond the horizon.
His speed far surpassed Hongjun's traveling speed.
"Next, I shall seek Daoist Friend Yin Yang. Given the friendship between Daoist Friend Yin Yang and me, he will certainly help me."
Hongjun was still making his way leisurely toward Yin-Yang Ancestor's Daoist Arena.
Little did he know that Old Ancestor Wuxing had already gotten ahead of him and was speeding toward Yin Yang's Daoist Arena, determined to ruin Hongjun's plans.
"Since Daoist Friend Five Elements refuses to help me, the previous plan must be altered.
"Besides Daoist Friend Yin Yang and Daoist Friend Yang Mei, I must invite at least one more Daoist Friend.
"After all, Luohu's Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is said to be unbreakable without four sages.
"With me included, there must be at least four powerful experts.
"My Three Corpses can only serve as a trump card."
As he traveled, Hongjun considered whom else he could drag into his schemes.
If Luohu knew Hongjun's thoughts, he would certainly be astonished that Hongjun knew of his Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
He even knew that the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation could not be broken without four sages.
It had to be known that ever since Luohu obtained the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation after the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, he had never used it.
He had always rehearsed the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation beneath Mount Sumeru.
Even Jidu, the Demon Cult's Grand Elder, did not know of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation's existence.
Yet Hongjun knew of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and even understood its mysteries.
Naturally, this was not because Hongjun was so omniscient that he could deduce the existence of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
It was naturally because the Heavenly Dao had given Hongjun special instruction, allowing him to learn of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and its mysteries.
That was why Hongjun invited suitable powerful experts according to the formation's mysteries, so they could test the waters for him.
As for those so-called Daoist Friends being killed by his schemes, what did that have to do with Hongjun?
That was the great trend decreed by the Heavenly Dao—the reincarnated experts of the former Chaos Demon Gods had to be completely exterminated.
The Heavenly Dao would not permit beings who might surpass Its control to remain active in the Primordial Wilderness.
And reincarnated Chaos Demon God experts entirely possessed that possibility.
Reincarnated Chaos Demon God experts cultivated the Law Path. Even if the Heavenly Dao suppressed all living beings and prevented them from cultivating the Law Path,
reincarnated Chaos Demon God experts did not care about the Heavenly Dao's suppression at all.
Their comprehension of Laws from their time as Chaos Demon Gods remained intact. They only needed to comprehend them again and reclaim their cultivation.
