The One Hong Yun Wanted to Marry Was

"There's also the Netherworld Blood Sea."

Ancestor Minghe added from the side.

"What Primordial Violet Qi? What Netherworld Blood Sea? What are you talking about?"

After losing track of Hong Yun, Kunpeng had returned to the area where Fire Cloud Cave was located, yet he still could not find any trace of Hong Yun.

Afterward, he searched carefully across the surrounding area for countless billions of miles, but he still failed to find Hong Yun.

He had wasted a tremendous amount of time going back and forth.

Only today had he hurried back to the Solar Star.

He had not expected that, upon returning to the Solar Star, he would see Dijun, Taiyi, and Ancestor Minghe demanding the Primordial Violet Qi from him.

Kunpeng was completely baffled.

"Kunpeng, you snatched the Primordial Violet Qi from Hong Yun. Don't tell me you plan to keep it all for yourself?"

Seeing Kunpeng's expression, Dijun's face immediately turned ugly, and his tone became cold.

Just as he had expected, Kunpeng was pretending to be confused, hoping to monopolize the Primordial Violet Qi.

"Kunpeng, you're also a member of the Demon Clan, and even its Demon Master. Contributing the Primordial Violet Qi would count as rendering meritorious service to the Demon Clan. What, do you want to swallow it all yourself?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi spoke just as coldly.

"Kunpeng, you're being far too shameless! Besides the Primordial Violet Qi, there's also my Netherworld Blood Sea! You don't plan to swallow the Netherworld Blood Sea all by yourself too, do you?"

Ancestor Minghe grew anxious. He relied on the Netherworld Blood Sea to establish himself in the Great Desolation.

Without the Netherworld Blood Sea, he could not even deal with a mosquito.

Yet Kunpeng had obtained both the Primordial Violet Qi and the Netherworld Blood Sea and still wanted to keep them all for himself. How could that be tolerated?

"What are you talking about? I didn't obtain the Primordial Violet Qi! I couldn't catch up to Hong Yun at all!"

Kunpeng shouted, his neck flushed red.

He felt terribly wronged.

"Do you think we'll believe you? Your speed is the fastest in the Great Desolation, and you're telling me you couldn't catch up to Hong Yun?"

Dijun sneered, looking at Kunpeng as though he were an idiot.

"Hmph, Kunpeng, you can't even come up with a decent excuse when you lie!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi also snorted coldly.

"Kunpeng, if you don't hand over the Netherworld Blood Sea today, I'll fight you to the death!"

Ancestor Minghe shouted. He then summoned his magic treasure, preparing to have it out with Kunpeng.

Although he was only at the peak of the Great Firmament realm while Kunpeng had already reached the early-stage Quasi-Saint realm, Ancestor Minghe was full of confidence.

That was because he was not alone. Beside him were Dijun and Taiyi, who were also Quasi-Saints.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant, Dijun and Taiyi also summoned their magic treasures and glared furiously at Kunpeng.

At this moment, as long as Kunpeng refused to hand over the Primordial Violet Qi, they would fight.

"Fine, fine! You're actually treating me like this!"

Seeing the three people opposite him summon their magic treasures and prepare to strike, Kunpeng felt a chill in his heart.

He was, after all, the Demon Master of the Demon Clan. Yet now, two Demon Emperors and Ancestor Minghe were actually preparing to kill him over the Primordial Violet Qi.

"Not to mention that I didn't obtain the Primordial Violet Qi—even if I did, it would still belong to me, Kunpeng!"

"Give it to you? Hahaha! Why should I?"

Kunpeng laughed out of fury and shouted angrily.

After speaking, he spread his wings, instantly transformed into a streak of light, and flew in the opposite direction.

He could no longer stay on the Solar Star or remain with the Demon Clan.

Today, Kunpeng was going to sever ties with the Demon Clan!

"Not good! That fellow is trying to escape! Stop him!"

"Kunpeng, where do you think you're going? If you don't hand over the Primordial Violet Qi, the Demon Clan will hunt you endlessly!"

Seeing Kunpeng flee, Dijun and Taiyi grew anxious and hurriedly shouted.

The Primordial Violet Qi was still on Kunpeng. Such a supreme treasure could not be allowed to slip away.

In an instant, Dijun, Taiyi, and Ancestor Minghe chased after Kunpeng.

At the same time.

As Hong Yun leisurely flew toward the Lunar Star, he heard a cold, mechanical voice beside his ear.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully causing trouble. System reward obtained: Illusion True God Destroying Fruit."

4 The Goddess Sensed the Heavenly Marriage, and I, Hong Yun, Was Schemed Against Too

"Illusion True God Destroying Fruit?"

Hearing the system's voice, a puzzled look flashed through Hong Yun's eyes.

What kind of treasure was this? He had never heard of it before.

With a thought from Hong Yun, a bright-red fruit immediately appeared in his hand.

The fruit looked incomparably tempting. Its fragrance alone was enough to make one's mouth water.

However...

From the information about the system reward, Hong Yun instantly learned that this was an extremely poisonous fruit.

The meaning of "destroying the god" was that it could even destroy a Saint's primordial spirit!

How powerful were Saints? They were beings who could withstand countless tribulations, eternal and indestructible.

Yet even so, once someone consumed this fruit, their primordial spirit would be destroyed, leaving them in a half-fallen state.

It was evident that compared with the Saint Slaying Pill, this Illusion True God Destroying Fruit was even more formidable.

"What a treasure! Just in time—I can add the medicinal liquid from this Illusion True God Destroying Fruit to my Primordial Violet Qi!"

A hint of delight flashed through Hong Yun's eyes.

Originally, his Primordial Violet Qi had merely been absorbing the poison from the Saint Slaying Pill and the Three Lights Divine Water.

Now there was another kind of poison: the Illusion True God Destroying Fruit!

Whoosh!

Immediately, Hong Yun waved his hand and summoned the Cauldron of Fortune, throwing the Illusion True God Destroying Fruit inside.

With the alchemical method from the Mythical Great Heavenly Poison Scripture, extracting the poison from the Illusion True God Destroying Fruit and infusing it into the Primordial Violet Qi was not difficult.

Only several days later, Hong Yun had completed the basic procedures.

Next, he only needed to let the Cauldron of Fortune refine it automatically.

Originally, refining the Primordial Violet Qi would have taken only several hundred years. Now that the poison of another Illusion True God Destroying Fruit had to be added, the process would probably be delayed somewhat.

But this also gave Hong Yun even greater confidence in scheming against Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"According to my previous calculations, the latest time Hongjun will want me dead is when he merges with the Heavenly Dao. So I still have plenty of time!"

Hong Yun thought to himself.

Hongjun wanted to use this Primordial Violet Qi to merge with the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, before that happened, it would be inappropriate for Hong Yun to let his mythical incarnation fall.

Once the mythical incarnation fell, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would reclaim the Primordial Violet Qi.

If the time for merging with the Heavenly Dao had not yet arrived, he would not rush to use it. Instead, he might discover the abnormalities in the Primordial Violet Qi.

Based on Hong Yun's calculations, Dao Ancestor Hongjun should merge with the Heavenly Dao after the Witch-Demon Tribulation ended.

That would be after the Witch and Demon Clans fought their third great battle, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Dijun, and Taiyi had all fallen.

So...

Hong Yun still had at least several thousand years, or perhaps even longer.

On the Lunar Star.

"Little sister, I sensed the Heavenly Dao recently. It seems to be vaguely indicating that I'm destined to hold a Heavenly Marriage!"

Inside Guanghan Palace, Xihe's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at her younger sister, Changxi, beside her.

When the Goddess of the Lunar Star cultivated, she seemed to have received an revelation from the Heavenly Dao: attaining a Heavenly Marriage was her destined fate.

"Sister, you're getting married?"

Hearing Xihe's words, Changxi was also somewhat shocked.

The two Goddesses had been born on the Lunar Star for countless years.

However, the two of them had always avoided worldly struggles. They had not even coveted the immense fortune of the Great Desolation.

They had simply continued cultivating slowly on the Lunar Star, living carefree lives.

But now...

"Little sister, this is destiny. I can't refuse it either."

Xihe spoke.

With destiny decreed, if she went against the will of the Heavenly Dao, Xihe had a feeling that she might even be erased by it.

"Then... Sister, have you decided who you want to marry?"

Changxi asked again.

Yet as she asked this question, a figure flashed through Changxi's mind.

It was a tall and imposing figure with a pair of powerful qilin arms. In particular, the masculine aura he revealed when firing his arrows made her heart race.

At the same time, when Changxi asked this question, Hong Yun's figure also appeared in Xihe's mind.

Back then, Hong Yun had fired an arrow on the Lunar Star, and a single arrow had pierced through the Solar Star.

What terrifying power was that?

Such a heroic man was precisely the ideal husband Xihe had dreamed of.

"Little sister, I think the person I should marry is..."

"Are you talking about Hong Yun?"

Before Xihe could finish, Changxi immediately spoke.

"That's right! You're thinking the same thing as me."

Xihe nodded.

"Sister, Daoist Hong Yun is the person I want to marry! You can't snatch him away!"

Changxi said unhappily.

She had said before that the true man in her heart was someone capable of shooting through the Solar Star.

Later, that person had finally appeared.

Because of this, Changxi had been unable to eat or sleep properly for countless years, yearning to see him again.

But now, hearing that her sister Xihe also wanted to marry the man she liked, Changxi felt as if someone had snatched away her beloved toy.

"Little sister, you haven't sensed the Heavenly Marriage!"

Xihe retorted.

"Whether there's a Heavenly Marriage or not, I'm going to marry Daoist Hong Yun!"

Changxi pouted, extremely angry.

In an instant, the two sisters, who had always been exceptionally close, began arguing again.

Time passed. Several months later.

Hong Yun finally arrived at the Lunar Star.

As soon as his figure appeared on the Lunar Star, two white-robed fairies immediately flew gracefully toward him.

They were the two Lunar Goddesses, Xihe and Changxi.

"Greetings, Daoist Hong Yun!"

"How have you been lately, Daoist Hong Yun?"

Xihe and Changxi stood on either side of Hong Yun and saluted him.

"How have the two Goddesses been? I've come to bother you again this time. I hope you won't take offense."

Hong Yun spoke to Xihe and Changxi.

Hearing Hong Yun's words, the two women's faces flushed slightly.

However, they were both delighted by Hong Yun's arrival.

Then, under their warm invitation, Hong Yun entered Guanghan Palace.

In the days that followed, Hong Yun drank and enjoyed himself with the two Goddesses every day, naturally becoming reluctant to leave.

He had originally planned to stay on the Lunar Star for some time and wait until the Primordial Violet Qi finished refining.

Xihe and Changxi accompanied Hong Yun, and they were both exceedingly happy during that time.

Xihe, however, was often somewhat worried, not knowing how to bring up the Heavenly Marriage so that Hong Yun would understand.

As for Changxi, she kept causing trouble and ruined Xihe's plans every time.

Hong Yun was the only person she truly liked. She certainly did not want him to become her brother-in-law.

Time passed like a fleeting stream.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years went by.

On the Solar Star.

On this day, Dijun's expression was somewhat unusual.

"Big brother, why do you look so irritable today? You even seem distracted during cultivation."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi noticed Dijun's abnormality and asked curiously.

Dijun had already reached the Quasi-Saint realm. Logically speaking, he should not have appeared like this.

As a mighty Quasi-Saint, could he not even control his own state of mind?

"My dear brother, you don't know this, but today I sensed the will of the Heavenly Dao. It seems to be telling me that I'm destined to attain a Heavenly Marriage!"

Dijun spoke.

"Heavenly Marriage? That's a good thing! Could it be that big brother doesn't have a woman in mind?"

Bringing about the Heavenly Marriage was the will of the Heavenly Dao, so it was definitely a good thing.

Once the Heavenly Marriage was completed, they should even receive a reward of Heavenly Dao Merit.

For the Demon Clan, it was also an opportunity.

"Second Brother, there is indeed a woman I have taken a fancy to, but... I don't know what she thinks of me."

Dijun spoke hesitantly.

"Who is she?"

Taiyi asked.

The woman Dijun had taken a fancy to should be extraordinary.

Taiyi began to speculate. Could it be Nuwa, or perhaps the Queen Mother of the West?

"She is the Lunar Goddess, Xihe."

Dijun said.
