Hun Xing's Conspiracy

According to Captain Huoshi's message, Luo Qing had a general understanding of what had happened during his Revert to Innate years.

From the start to the end of his seclusion, only four thousand years had passed.

And during the nearly three thousand years he was in seclusion, news that shocked all races of the Primordial Era spread from the central region of the Primordial Era.

The Fierce Beast race and the Divine Race had a great decisive battle in the Buzhou Mountain region of the Primordial Era.

This battle lasted for several hundred years, ultimately ending in the defeat of the Divine Race.

Nearly sixty percent of the Divine Race in the central Primordial Era perished, and over twenty Grand Unity Golden Immortals were killed by Shen Ni and his followers.

The rest either retreated into Buzhou Mountain or fled in all directions, with many Innate Gods escaping to other regions of the Primordial Era.

This was one of the reasons why the news of the Divine Race's defeat spread so quickly.

With the defeat of the Divine Race in the Primordial Era, the malevolent aura within the Primordial Era further intensified.

This also triggered further riots among the Fierce Beast tribes on the eastern, southern, and western continents of the Primordial Era.

It was under these circumstances that the Five Elements Tribe encountered a beast tide led by the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Beast King.

Initially, the Five Elements Tribe, relying on its vast foundation and numerous Golden Immortal elders, firmly held off the Fierce Beasts' attack.

But an accident also occurred not long ago.

Hun Xing, the Mountain Lord of Hundred Gods Mountain, ambushed the Grand Unity Golden Immortal ancestor of the Five Elements Tribe who was confronting the Grand Unity Beast King.

This resulted in the Five Elements Tribe's ancestor being severely wounded, the defense line collapsing completely, and the Five Elements Tribe suffering heavy losses.

Finally, a hundred years ago, they were forced to abandon their tribal lands and the entire tribe migrated further south in the Primordial Era.

When the beast tide occurred, True God Huoshi had come to Luo Qing's Cave Mansion to find him.

But he couldn't find him and assumed Luo Qing had secretly slipped out of the Five Elements tribal land.

As a result, when it was time for the tribe to relocate, Luo Qing still hadn't returned.

True God Huoshi was unsure if Luo Qing had met with an accident, and worried that Luo Qing would be unaware of the truth when he returned, so he left a message for Luo Qing.

"Mountain Lord Hun Xing ambushed the tribal ancestor, why?"

Luo Qing naturally believed the message from True God Huoshi.

But Luo Qing didn't understand why Mountain Lord Hun Xing would do such a thing.

Although the Five Elements Tribe and Hundred Gods Mountain were not on good terms, they were both part of the Divine Race, and the Fierce Beasts were the sole mortal enemy at the moment.

Moreover, this was happening against the backdrop of the Divine Race's decisive defeat against the Fierce Beast race.

Shouldn't Hundred Gods Mountain and the Five Elements Tribe be huddling together for warmth at this time?

Also, the fact that Hun Xing discovered him immediately after he emerged from underground was clearly abnormal.

The Five Elements Tribe had been evacuated for a hundred years, and their entire tribal land had been turned upside down. What was Hun Xing doing there at this time?

"Could it be related to the Five Elements Spiritual Ring nurtured by the Five Elements Space?"

This was the only thing Luo Qing could think of that might be coveted by Hun Xing.

After all, there wasn't much in the Five Elements Tribe, a post-natal race, that would make a Grand Unity Golden Immortal covetous of any treasures.

"Hoo! The most urgent thing now is to find a way to escape Hundred Gods Mountain!"

He suppressed the doubts about Hun Xing's coveting of the Five Elements Tribe in his heart.

Luo Qing felt a bit desperate about his current situation.

From the moment Hun Xing brought him into Hundred Gods Mountain, he had been placed under close watch.

Luo Qing knew that it was impossible for him to quietly find an excuse to leave Hundred Gods Mountain.

Most likely, he wouldn't even be able to leave Hundred Gods Mountain, and Hun Xing wouldn't give him the chance.

"Hun Xing, that old scoundrel, what does he want from me?"

Luo Qing couldn't figure out his current predicament for the time being. He had to first understand Hun Xing's purpose.

However, thinking about how Hun Xing had repeatedly mentioned him achieving the "Gold God" cultivation level soon, Luo Qing generally felt that he should be safe before reaching the Gold God stage.

Even if Hun Xing wanted to use him, he would likely need him to have Golden Immortal cultivation.

Suddenly, with a thought, Luo Qing took out the high-grade Innate Treasure, Flame Fire Pearl, that Hun Xing had bestowed upon him.

Since Hun Xing had ulterior motives for taking him as a disciple, Luo Qing definitely didn't believe Hun Xing would be willing to bestow upon him a high-grade treasured artifact.

This treasured artifact must have some issue.

It was just that Luo Qing had no other choice at the time and could only refine it.

Now, Luo Qing could properly research whether the Flame Fire Pearl hid any hidden dangers.

However, after refining it, Luo Qing found nothing amiss. It was just an ordinary high-grade Innate Treasure.

But concerning the scheme of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Luo Qing dared not be careless in the slightest.

When Luo Qing activated the Eye of the Great Dao to analyze the Flame Fire Pearl...

The Hun Xing Mountain Lord also entered his own Cave Mansion.

The Hun Xing cultivation Cave Mansion had one main and five subsidiary residences. At this moment, each of the five subsidiary residences had a disciple residing in it.

After the Hun Xing Mountain Lord used the main Cave Mansion's Restriction to observe the situation in the five subsidiary residences one by one.

If Luo Qing were here, he would recognize them.

Within the five subsidiary residences, the five Hun Xing disciples were actually divided according to the Five Elements.

Moreover, each disciple was a mid-level Innate God. The first four had already reached the Golden Immortal cultivation level.

With no anomalies found in the five Cave Mansions, the Hun Xing Mountain Lord then laughed heartily without any restraint.

"Hahaha! I never expected Heaven to not abandon me, Hun Xing. I didn't find what I wanted in the Five Elements Tribe, but Heaven itself has sent an opportunity right before me."

"Chihuo is truly a good name. Hurry up and cultivate into a Gold God! Your ancestor is already impatient to transform its foundation!"

The Hun Xing Mountain Lord originally cultivated in the central region of the Primordial Era, but a mid-level Innate God who was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal had no status near Buzhou Mountain.

His innate status could only support him in cultivating to the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

It had been an Era since he became a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and what filled Hun Xing with despair was that.

Without the blessing of status for this Era, his cultivation speed was like a snail's crawl, progressing exceptionally slowly.

At this cultivation speed, he would need at least ten Eras to have a hope of advancing to the mid-stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

After the mid-stage came the late stage, and beyond the late stage, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal was even more distant than a mirage.

Hun Xing was naturally unwilling to continue cultivating so sluggishly.

This led to the idea of transforming his own foundation and evolving a mid-level Innate God into a high-level or even top-level Innate God.

Furthermore, Hun Xing was an Innate God born from the Five Elements Great Dao.

This gave Hun Xing the opportunity to transform its roots. To transform its roots, the most convenient way was to devour the Origin Power of the five elements.

To supplement its own Origin Power.

Devouring the Origin Power of other Innate Gods to supplement oneself undoubtedly went against the instincts of the Divine Race.

If all Innate Gods acted this way, the entire Divine Race would end up slaughtering each other.

The central region of the Primordial Era had numerous Grand Unity Golden Immortals and Grand Unity Golden Immortals everywhere, making it inconvenient for Hun Xing to act.

In pursuit of the Dao path, the Hun Xing Mountain Lord came to the remote Southern Continent region.

Afterward, Hun Xing unexpectedly discovered the Five Elements Tribe, a group of Acquired Beings.

At first, he thought the Five Elements Tribe was an Acquired Being born from the aura of an Innate Spiritual Treasure related to the Five Elements.

The Origin Power of Spiritual Treasures and the Origin Power of Gods were both acceptable to Hun Xing.

However, five Spiritual Treasures belonging to the Five Elements were even more unattainable for the previous Hun Xing Mountain Lord.

Now that he had the chance to find the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures, Hun Xing naturally did not intend to let it go.

As a result, Hun Xing made preparations on both fronts.

On one hand, he established Hundred Gods Mountain, secretly searching for and cultivating disciples who were mid-level Innate Gods belonging to the Five Elements.

On the other hand, he tried to find the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures within the Five Elements Tribe.

The results were obvious. Over these countless years, Hun Xing had only found four qualified disciples with different attributes.

Then, relying on a beast tide, he successfully ambushed the Grand Unity Golden Immortal ancestor of the Five Elements Tribe, severely wounding him.

Even then, the opponent did not reveal their Spiritual Treasure to fight back. Hun Xing knew that the Five Elements Tribe most likely did not possess the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures.

After the Five Elements Tribe fled, Hun Xing, unwilling to give up, searched repeatedly around the Five Elements Tribe's territory for another hundred years.

The result was still fruitless.

Just as Hun Xing was feeling disappointed, Luo Qing, this mid-level Innate Fire God, appeared.

And the disciples of the Five Elements that Hun Xing had been collecting happened to only have the fire element candidate left.

Losing in one place, gaining in another.

Although he did not find the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures, he had managed to gather the Five Elements Gods in one go.

Thinking of the hardships of these past years, Hun Xing was filled with anticipation for Luo Qing.

"After tens of thousands of years of arduous searching, it's finally about to bear fruit! Chihuo, you absolutely must not disappoint your master! My good disciple!" Hun Xing smiled with a strange glint in his eyes.
