Although Cihang was confident that he could handle Tai Yi's battle, he was still grateful for Hong Yun's help.

It was at this moment that Cihang truly acknowledged Hong Yun.

He was naturally willing to help Hong Yun.

However, Cihang still had no certainty about the future calamities facing Hong Yun.

Although Hong Yun's demise was not a major event of the universe, changing it is not so simple.

The calculations involved are countless.

Kunpeng, the Two Sages of the West, and even the Sanqing did not want Hong Yun to live.

Kunpeng is due to the Karma of his past Saint Position.

He dared not hold a grudge against the saint, so he naturally directed all his resentment towards Hong Yun.

The key point is that even after losing the first and last prayer cushions of the Zixiao Palace, Hong Yun was still able to obtain the Primordial Violet Qi again.

This naturally made Kunpeng extremely jealous.

As for Jieyin and Zhunti, they had no enmity with Hong Yun, but they had a great Karma connection with him.

The Saint Position rightfully belonged to them, but they owed Hong Yun a debt of Karma of it, so how could they be willing to accept it?

Moreover, the karmic Karma Saint Position are not so easily repaid.

Although they wouldn't take the initiative, they certainly fueled the flames.

Once the Hong Yun falls, this Karma will naturally cease to exist.

The Sanqing also did not want another sage to share power and fortune.

The Primordial World, though vast, has its limits.

With so many schemes involved, it would be difficult for Hong Yun to survive.

With her mind in turmoil, Cihang exuded a low-pressure aura.

"It should be a joyous occasion that I have been able to resolve my inner conflict, so why do you seem so troubled, fellow Daoist?"

Is there something else bothering you?

Hong Yun naturally noticed Cihang's change.

"It is indeed a joyous occasion that you have been able to resolve your inner conflict, but this will not be of any benefit to your comprehension of the Primordial Violet Qi."

What are your thoughts on Primordial Violet Qi?

Cihang's expression turned serious.

At the same time, the power of the spiritual treasure was activated to seal off the Glazed Immortal Realm, ensuring that it would not be discovered by cultivators through deduction.

"What we cultivators value most is our cultivation level. It would be impossible for us not to have any ambition for the position of a saint."

That's why I got stuck in a mental block, which prevented me from breaking through in my cultivation for so long.

But now I feel that what I gain is my fortune, what I lose is my fate, and I should just let nature take its course!

Hong Yun regained his former carefree attitude and no longer dwelled on the Primordial Violet Qi.

"Fellow Daoist, it is indeed a great opportunity for you to obtain the Primordial Violet Qi."

The Primordial Violet Qi itself is both an opportunity and a calamity.

Especially for fellow Daoists!

Hongjun bestowed a total of seven streams of Primordial Violet Qi, six of which were his disciples, and he personally told them that they had the opportunity to attain enlightenment.

Naturally, no one dared to make a move against them.

Moreover, the six individuals themselves are quite extraordinary.

Even the weakest of them all, Jieyin and Zhunti, are the rulers of the West, occupying a portion of the Primordial World's fortune.

Weakness is only relative.

Hong Yun, however, had neither apprenticed under a master nor received guidance from Hongjun.

This wisp of Primordial Violet Qi he possessed was an opportunity left by Hongjun for all cultivators.

In other words, it doesn't belong to Hong Yun alone; whoever gets it can have it.

"I understand what you're saying, which is why I was so anxious back then."

Brother Zhenyuan even confined me to Wuzhuang Temple cultivate, in order to prevent me from being targeted by other cultivators.

However, now that my inner conflict has been resolved, a breakthrough is not far off. At that time, even if someone makes a move, I will have the ability to protect myself!

How could Hong Yun not have realized the danger he was in?

In fact, during his journey to seek enlightenment, he felt many eyes watching him.

Even the cultivators who had previously been on good terms with him were bewildered by his attitude.

Unbeknownst to them, Calamity Qi had already befallen them.

However, Hong Yun didn't want Cihang to worry too much.

Ultimately, this was his own Karma.

"Any cultivator who dares to be moved by the Primordial Violet Qi is a peak Quasi-Saint."

Fellow Daoist, you can handle one or two people, but what about ten or dozens?

Aside from Fellow Zhenyuanzi, I doubt anyone in the Primordial World desires for you to attain enlightenment!

Having genuinely accepted Hong Yun, Cihang spoke without reservation.

"While I, Hong Yun, may not have friends all over the Primordial World, I am not so much in a situation where everyone is an enemy!"

Hong Yun's face also turned ugly, somewhat unwilling to believe the result.

"Friendship? What does that matter compared to the chance to become a saint?"

Cihang couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile.

In their pursuit of spiritual cultivation, countless practitioners will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

"Do I really have no chance at all?"

Hong Yun knew that what Cihang said was reality, the true appearance of the Primordial World.

What do you think, fellow Daoist?

It's not just those top-tier Quasi-Saints; even those who have already secured their Saint Position probably don't want you to achieve enlightenment.

Although I have never entered Zixiao Palace, I know that the two in the West owe you a debt of Karma.

Have they shown even the slightest intention of repaying the debt?

Cihang's words turned Hong Yun's face ashen.

No, they not only failed to repay the Karma, but they didn't even offer a word of thanks.

Ever since he listened to the teachings at the Zixiao Palace, Jieyin and Zhunti have avoided him like the plague.

Hong Yun, possessing great wisdom, naturally knew what this represented.

He simply didn't want to think about it too much before.

As Cihang said, this Primordial Violet Qi was not an opportunity for him, but an endless tribulation.

Moreover, it was a calamity with almost no solution.

As for attaining enlightenment before that, Hong Yun no longer harbored any such aspirations.

"Indeed, as you said, I am now almost in dire straits."

"Fellow Daoist, you've brought this up today; do you have any suggestions on how to deal with it?"

Hong Yun, being of extraordinary character, quickly understood Cihang's intention.

Whether or not Cihang can help him, saying these things to him is enough to make him grateful.

Unfortunately, he has nothing to offer in return.

"Leaving aside the good and evil of the Two from the West, they are both selfish in the face of the Great Way."

The simplest solution now is to join the West.

As long as you join the Western Karma of self-liberation through cause Jieyin and Zhunti will help you attain enlightenment.

Even if one cannot attain enlightenment, one can still overcome this tribulation!

Based on Cihang's understanding of the Jieyin and Zhunti between Guanyin and Zhunti, they would not refuse Cihang.

"Fellow Daoist, your method is good, but it does not align with my true intentions!"

If I were to forcibly join the West, I fear my cultivation would stagnate here, let alone attain enlightenment!

Hong Yun was unwilling to go against her conscience in order to survive.

"Then you should take the initiative to understand this Karma, in exchange for their help once."

Cihang was not surprised by Hong Yun's choice; in this case, she could only settle for second best.

While this might not completely break the deadlock, it would at least reduce Hong Yun's enemy by one.

"That's for the best. This Karma should indeed be settled as soon as possible!"

This time, Hong Yun did not refuse.

"And there's the Life Spirit Pearl I gave you back then; it can save your life in times of crisis."

Unfortunately, Cihang's strength is too weak, and this is all he can do!

Cihang reiterated the function of the Life Spirit Pearl.

"Fellow Daoist has already helped me a great deal, but unfortunately, Hong Yun is powerless to repay you at this moment."

"If I can escape this calamity one day, I will return to repay your kindness!"

Hong Yun solemnly thanked Cihang and then took his leave.

As Cihang said, it is better to resolve karmic Karma sooner rather than later.

He always felt that from the moment he stepped into the Zixiao Palace, he had entered a game of chess.

Now it's time to wrap things up. Whether they break through the impasse or perish and their cultivation fades away, there will finally be a result.
