Hongjun's Methods

Taiqing listened to Zhou Ming's question and slowly spoke.

"This second matter concerns the Human Clan."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the several Saint in the hall underwent subtle changes.

"The Heavenly Secrets reveal that after the Immortal-Demon Tribulation, the Human Clan will prosper greatly."

"The reason we've come here is to discuss this matter with you, fellow Daoist."

After Taiqing finished speaking, she quietly looked at Zhou Ming, waiting for his response.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat upright, seemingly expressionless, but he had already begun to make plans in his heart.

The rise of the Human Clan is an immense Fortune, and the Clarify Sect must get a share of it.

Zhunti and Jieyin, standing nearby, had gleaming eyes, their minds filled with calculations.

Zhou Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"This matter really should be put on the agenda."

He looked at Nuwa and said.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, I wonder how well Fellow Daoist Fuxi's Primordial Spirit is being nurtured?"

Upon hearing this, Nuwa's originally indifferent face softened.

"My Elder Brother's Primordial Spirit needs to be nurtured for a while longer to ensure his reincarnation will be without any problems."

Zhou Ming nodded; this answer was exactly what he expected.

"In that case, let's wait until Fellow Daoist Fuxi's Primordial Spirit has been properly nurtured before we discuss this matter in detail."

He glanced at the crowd and continued.

"As fellow cultivators all know, the rise of the Human Clan required the rule of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."

"And Fellow Daoist Fuxi is the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Clan."

"It's indeed a bit premature for us to discuss this matter now that his Primordial Spirit is still unstable."

Everyone agreed that it made sense.

Fuxi was the first Human Emperor; the fates of others are still uncertain, so debating what happened after that is indeed not very meaningful.

not to mention...

The group glanced at Haotian and Yaochi standing behind Taiqing.

With Haotian and Yaochi, these two "outsiders," still here, no one wanted to discuss this matter in front of them.

With them around, even these Saint couldn't speak openly with each other.

Taiqing didn't care at all.

He was forced by Nuwa to make Heavenly Dao Oath that he would not take away the Fortune the Human Clan.

Therefore, despite being the nominal Leader of the Human Sect, he didn't actually gain much substantial benefit from the rise of the Human Clan.

So everyone nodded in agreement with Zhou Ming's suggestion.

"What you say makes sense, fellow Daoist."

"Then we'll discuss this again once Fellow Daoist Fuxi is ready to reincarnate."

After the matter was concluded, Taiqing stood up and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Zhou Ming.

"Now that the matter has been settled, we will take our leave."

The other Saint also rose to take their leave.

"Alright, fellow Daoists, take care."

Zhou Ming also stood up and returned the greeting.

Seeing this, Haotian and Yaochi quickly followed.

Afterwards, the group walked out of the Pangu Hall.

Once outside the Pangu Hall, none of the six Saint gave Haotian and Yaochi a second glance, nor did they bother to exchange even a polite word.

They each transformed into streaks of light and departed, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, only Haotian and Yaochi remained Pangu Hall.

Yaochi looked in the direction they had left, a look of embarrassment appearing on her face.

"What... what do they mean by this?"

Haotian remained silent for a moment, his expression equally unpleasant.

"What else could it mean?"

"Without Old Master keeping them in check, these Saint won't take us two young disciples seriously."

They knew it perfectly well.

Below even Saint, all are but ants.

Although they were bestowed the titles of Jade Emperor and Queen Mother by the Dao Ancestor, they were still nothing in the face of these true Saint.

The so-called "more support" is nothing but empty talk.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness and bitterness in each other's expressions.

But they didn't say much more.

If you are not as strong as others, complaining will only bring you shame.

"Let's go, it's time for us to head to Heavenly Court."

Haotian composed himself and took the lead in flying towards the direction Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Yaochi sighed and followed suit.

Pangu Hall.

Zhou Ming sat quietly with his eyes closed, seemingly sensing something.

Only after confirming that everyone was far away from the Buzhou Mountain area did he slowly open his eyes and speak to the empty hall.

"Fellow Daoist, everyone's gone, come out now."

As he finished speaking, the space inside the hall slightly Distortion System.

A faint, ethereal figure slowly coalesced and took shape not far away.

The figure was slender and had an ancient face; it was none other than the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist."

Hongjun's illusory figure bowed respectfully to Zhou Ming from afar.

Zhou Ming looked him up and down, his face showing a hint of seriousness.

"Friendly approach."

"He actually managed to divide a wisp of his Divine Sense into six parts, hiding them on the bodies of those six Saint, and come with them."

"If it weren't for being inside this Pangu Hall, I truly wouldn't have been able to find you, fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun smiled faintly.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."

"These are just petty tricks, not worth mentioning."

After saying this, he looked around the magnificent Pangu Hall and exclaimed with heartfelt emotion.

"Truly worthy of being formed from the heart of the Great God Pangu."

"As long as you're inside this Pangu Hall, no trick can escape your discerning eyes, fellow Daoist."

Zhou Ming ignored Hongjun's sigh and shook his head instead.

"This is no small trick."

"Your ability to silently Dizang your Divine Sense within six Saint without them noticing is truly Tongtian."

"I'm curious, how did you do that?"

Zhou Ming was genuinely curious.

He truly couldn't understand how Hongjun had managed to do it.

He believed that his current strength was absolutely no weaker than Hongjun's, and in some aspects even surpassed it.

Even he could never secretly attach his Divine Sense to a Saint, let alone six.

Hongjun was able to do this, there must be some secret behind it that he didn't know.

This made Zhou Ming feel a little wary.

The unknown is the most dangerous.

Hongjun looked at Zhou Ming and spoke slowly.

"Those six people all practice the Slaying Three Corpses Method I passed down to them."

"Isn't it reasonable for me to hide a fragment of Divine Sense within them?"

Hongjun spoke in such a calm tone that it was as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"After all, I created this method of Slaying Three Corpses."

"If I can't even do this, wouldn't I seem like a failure as the creator?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ming instantly realized the truth.

I see!

The Slaying Three Corpses Method!

The problem actually lies here!

He looked at Hongjun, his expression becoming extremely complicated.

"What a brilliant Slaying Three Corpses Method!"

"It seems that when you preached at the Purple Cloud Palace, you didn't pass on the complete method."

"Moreover, they had more than one trick up their sleeve."

Zhou Ming's expression became meaningful.

"So, does that mean all the cultivators in this Primordial Wilderness who have practiced your method are under your control?"

Zhou Ming's words carried a hint of teasing, but also a hint of probing.
