Returning to Kunlun, Taiqing's Invitation
Three thousand years is but a fleeting moment for cultivators in the Primordial World era.
As the Sanqing Ones' Kunlun Pilgrimage approaches, Mount Luojia once again welcomes distinguished guests.
Seeing Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun arrive together, Cihang personally led them into the Life Temple.
"Hong Yun had been thinking about this place for a long time, Fellow Daoist."
Now that I see it, it is indeed extraordinary, even surpassing my Longevity Mountain."
After taking his seat, Zhenyuanzi let out a series of exclamations of admiration.
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. Both are simply different in their own way."
Why have you two fellow Daoists come to visit at this time? Have you received an invitation from the Sanqing?
Cihang gestured for the two to take the spiritual fruit, and at the same time asked a question.
"It seems you have also been invited, fellow Daoist. We have come here today hoping to travel with you."
Although the Taiqing Saint had attained enlightenment, he was not a magnanimous person.
Fellow Daoist, you schemed against him once before. Be careful when you go to listen to the Dao this time!
Hong Yun reminded Cihang with concern.
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun is right, you do need to be careful this time."
Although we have not attained enlightenment, traveling together will surely make them hesitate!
Zhenyuanzi wholeheartedly agreed.
"I'm sorry to have worried you two fellow Daoists. I will be very careful on this trip!"
This is their first sermon since their sanctification; they won't make a move now!
Cihang surely understood that the two had come precisely because they were worried about her.
Their actions today have strengthened his resolve to rescue Hong Yun from her predicament.
"That being said, there are some things we must be wary of!"
Hearing this, Hong Yun felt much relieved.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry. I have my own plans for this matter."
Although my merits are not enough to make a saint give way, if they were to kill me, it would greatly damage their merits and fortune.
They won't act rashly.
On the contrary, fellow Daoist, have you made any progress in comprehending the Primordial Violet Qi?
Although Cihang already knew the outcome, she still asked the question.
"What progress can there be? It seems I'm truly destined to be Saint Position!"
Hongjun distributed a total of seven streams of Primordial Violet Qi. The other Six Saints have already attained enlightenment, but Hong Yun has made no progress.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel self-doubt.
"Perhaps the time is not yet ripe, but fellow Daoist, you must be even more careful now!"
Cihang then began to remind Hong Yun.
Having memories of the future, Cihang naturally knew that the Primordial Violet Qi could not be used to attain enlightenment.
Cihang even suspected that whether one could truly attain enlightenment had little to do with the Primordial Violet Qi.
As long as Heaven approves, one can become Heavenly Dao Sage.
Conversely, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain.
Clearly, Hong Yun has not gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao, at least not yet.
"Fellow Daoist Cihang is right, you do need to be careful."
I know you cannot find peace and quiet for spiritual practice in one place.
If you ever need to travel in the future, you can come to Wuzhuang Temple to find me!
Zhenyuanzi also Hong Yun a stern warning.
Zhenyuanzi's temperament is completely opposite to Hong Yun's; he wouldn't even leave Wuzhuang Temple unless absolutely necessary.
But for Hong Yun's safety, he was willing to change himself.
"It's Hong Yun who has caused you two fellow Daoists worry. I will certainly be careful as well!"
Hong Yun was clearly aware of the seriousness of the situation.
"It's getting late, we should head to Kunlun Mountain!"
Neither Cihang nor Zhenyuanzi tried to persuade Hong Yun to give up the Primordial Violet Qi.
Although Hong Yun currently lacks the Opportunity for Enlightenment, who can say for sure that he won't in the future?
In the original timeline, Hong Yun did not survive the calamity; what if she does this time?
Hong Yun's tribulations may have been a test before he attained enlightenment.
This is something no one could have predicted.
Therefore, even knowing it was a life-or-death ordeal, Hong Yun never considered giving up.
With their cultivation levels, the three of them quickly arrived at Kunlun Mountain.
From afar, Cihang sensed countless chaotic auras.
When a sage preaches, no one with the opportunity to hear his teachings would want to miss it.
At this moment, Kunlun has gathered most of the cultivators from the Primordial World.
Some cultivators who were unable to enter Kunlun lingered outside the mountains, unwilling to leave for a long time.
Even if they cannot hear the Great Dao, being able to experience the Human Dao essence of the sages up close is an unparalleled opportunity for them.
Moreover, with powerful figures gathered at Kunlun now, there might be other opportunities.
Cihang and his two companions were all at the Quasi-Saint level, so naturally no one dared to stop them, and they went straight to the Jade Void Palace.
Disciples from the Three Teachings stepped forward to respectfully bow and offer their greetings.
When facing Cihang, the disciples of the Three Teachings, though respectful, could not help but feel complicated emotions.
They were cultivators of the same realm back then, but in such a short time, the gap between them has widened to what it is now.
Cihang had become someone they could look up to.
In the past, they would have felt jealous.
But Cihang had become so powerful that they could no longer be jealous of her.
Cihang's feelings were no less profound than theirs.
Kunlun, the place where he cultivated for countless years in his memory.
Last time, he fled this place in a sorry state; now, he has come at the invitation of the Sanqing.
Everything is different now, and he has already taken the first step in shaping his own destiny.
In a flash, Cihang's state of mind improved somewhat.
After presenting the congratulatory gifts, the three of them entered the main hall together.
Cihang's appearance immediately attracted countless eyes.
They wanted to approach and get closer, but hesitated because of some reservations.
But none of this affected Cihang, who calmly took his seat and waited for the sermon to begin.
Not long after Cihang and the others entered the main hall, the Sanqing appeared together and began to expound the Way of the Sages.
Everything went smoothly during this period, and Cihang was not targeted in any way.
After the sermon ended, Taiqing kept Cihang behind alone.
"Fellow Daoist Cihang?"
Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun looked worried, clearly wanting to stay with Cihang.
"Thank you both, fellow Daoists. I believe the Taiqing Saint will not target me here."
"Don't worry, if I can't handle it, I will ask the two of you for help!"
Cihang used her divine sense to transmit her voice to the two of them.
Taiqing didn't need to go to such lengths to target him.
Cihang had some vague guesses about Taiqing's purpose, so she wasn't too worried.
Seeing Cihang's confident demeanor, the two men's worries eased slightly.
"Then we will wait for you outside Kunlun."
After speaking, Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun left Jade Void Palace with the group of cultivators.
"Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun are truly sincere towards you, fellow Daoist. You are blessed!"
Taiqing naturally noticed the two's silent support.
"These two fellow Daoists are indeed worthy of our friendship!"
When the two were mentioned, Cihang smiled sincerely.
"They're all so worried, aren't you afraid I'll target you, fellow Daoist?"
After all, you schemed against me and almost cost me my Saint Position."
Taiqing's expression was inscrutable, and the oppressive aura of a sage instantly filled the entire hall.
"A sage would not act this way; Cihang did so because he is a member of the human race."
"Sages are ordained by Heaven; how could Cihang possibly prevent it?"
Despite the saint's imposing presence, Cihang remained calm and composed.
"What a fine 'for the sake of humanity' statement! Do you know the purpose of my invitation?"
Looking at the composed Cihang, Taiqing actually held her in higher regard.
