After Hongjun tearfully inherited his teammate's legacy, he returned to his dojo, Zixiao Palace, on Yujing Mountain.
Having experienced the Dao-Demon Conflict and witnessed the true might of Hun Yuan, his understanding of the Hun Yuan Great Dao had greatly improved.
It was time to break through to the next realm.
His main body was the first wisp of Immortal Qi in the Great Desolation.
The Innate inheritance he received was naturally the Immortal Path.
His current realm was Great Perfection of Quasi-Saint. As long as he merged his Three Corpses, he could break through to the Saint realm, and then he would have the qualifications to converse with the Heavenly Dao.
His method of breakthrough was considered a unique path.
The current Great Desolation was different from Chaos. If he were to cultivate to become a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal in the old way, the difficulty would be no less than Pangu's creation of heaven and earth.
After all, the Great Dao had gradually retreated, and the opportunity to comprehend the Hun Yuan Great Dao would only become lower and lower.
Moreover... the method of severing the Three Corpses was suitable for the common beings of the Great Desolation.
For those Innate beings with poor foundations, this method was the best choice.
He, Hongjun, truly thought of all living beings in the Great Desolation with all his heart!
Hongjun took out a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation and began to comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos within it.
Then, three figures, identical to him, ran out from his body.
The Good Corpse, the Evil Corpse, and the Obsession Corpse.
Merging the Three Corpses would allow one to prove the Dao and become a Saint! This was also known as the Hun Yuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
Hongjun continuously comprehended the Great Daos within the Jade Disc of Creation, and strange inscriptions appeared around him one after another.
Zhang Hao had also been paying attention to Hongjun's situation.
When Hongjun became a Saint, he could explain the matter of the Transmigrator to him, and then he would have an ally in the Great Desolation.
Hongjun continuously comprehended the Hun Yuan Great Dao, with Zhang Hao secretly assisting him during this period.
Finally, after one Yuan Hui, the Three Corpses merged with him.
And he broke through to the Saint realm.
Saintly Dao Rhyme surrounded him, and his understanding of this world became clearer.
The moment Hongjun broke through to become a Saint, a blurred figure appeared in Zixiao Palace.
"Heavenly Dao?"
Hongjun looked at the Heavenly Dao avatar before him. Although he was confused, he still asked softly.
"It is I. Now that you have also broken through to become a Saint, you should know some things about the Great Desolation."
Zhang Hao's avatar did not have a specific form, only a blurred figure, but the pressure it exerted on Hongjun was real.
An avatar of the Heavenly Dao actually possessed the strength of a Hun Yuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal?!
Hongjun had initially thought that after becoming a Saint, he might be able to negotiate terms with the Heavenly Dao, but now he realized he had overthought it.
However, this was also good. With the Heavenly Dao being powerful, he wouldn't need to worry about the Great Desolation everywhere.
As a being of the Great Desolation, he sincerely wished for the Great Desolation to become stronger and stronger.
"May I ask what instructions the Heavenly Dao has?"
Hongjun asked sincerely.
Zhang Hao got straight to the point, first telling him the arrangements for the three lectures.
Then, he handed over seven strands of Primordial Violet Qi to Hongjun.
After receiving the Primordial Violet Qi, a fleeting trace of surprise flashed in Hongjun's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
If he had possessed a strand of Primordial Violet Qi when he broke through to become a Saint, he wouldn't have needed to waste so much time and could have broken through directly.
However, he also realized that this item could only serve to consolidate the Dao Foundation.
Moreover, Saints who broke through with its help would definitely be among the weakest.
For someone of his level, it was not of much use.
After Zhang Hao finished arranging the lectures, he spoke to Hongjun about the Transmigrators.
"Transmigrators?" Hongjun was stunned at first, then suddenly realized, "Are you referring to the Outer Realm Demons, Heavenly Dao?"
Zhang Hao nodded.
The beings of the Great Desolation were intelligent and could understand without much explanation.
"Luohu is one of them."
"So that's how it is." Hongjun nodded. No wonder Luohu could suddenly break through to the Hun Yuan realm.
Zhang Hao then told Hongjun about the System, explaining that the System was the root cause of the Great Desolation's destruction.
If any were found, he was not to alert them but report it in a timely manner.
Afterward, Zhang Hao extracted a portion of Hongjun's True Spirit and stored it in the Heavenly Dao void, granting him partial administrative rights over the Great Desolation.
As long as the Great Desolation does not perish, Hongjun will not fall.
Hongjun had no objections to this; he had originally planned to entrust his True Spirit to the Great Desolation's Heavenly Dao.
After finishing these tasks, Zhang Hao finally left.
Upon receiving this information beyond his previous understanding, Hongjun felt his mind broaden.
Everything made sense now!
No wonder so many powerful individuals emerged during the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation; they were Outer Realm Demons all along.
Hongjun felt that he was still too weak at the moment, likely unable to deal with these Systems. Thus, he returned to Zixiao Palace to continue comprehending the Jade Disc of Creation.
There were still some days until the Heavenly Dao had arranged for him to lecture, so he could safely consolidate his cultivation.
Just as Hongjun was comprehending the Jade Disc of Creation.
A flash of spiritual light came from beyond the Great Desolation and directly entered Hongjun's sea of consciousness.
"Great Sage System of the Great Desolation bound!"
Hongjun:?
After Zhang Hao's explanation, Hongjun had a general understanding of Systems.
No way, he actually encountered one?
"Cough, cough." Hongjun didn't immediately react to Zhang Hao, instead hatching a plan.
"System, what are your functions?"
"This System can refine anything the host submits and provide the host with points. If the points are sufficient, you can even exchange them for the Hun Yuan Limitless Great Dao."
Hongjun heard this and thought, "Is there such a good thing?"
He opened the System Mall and found that exchanging for one Hun Yuan Limitless Great Dao required one trillion points.
After some thought, he submitted a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure to the System.
"Congratulations, host, for receiving 100 points in return!"
Hongjun: You motherf*er!
A Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, even some Grand Unity Golden Immortals might not possess one, and it only gave him a hundred points?
If he submitted the entire Great Desolation, he probably still couldn't exchange for one Hun Yuan Limitless Great Dao.
I'm going to my 8 AM class!
"Heavenly Dao, I'm reporting this. There are Outer Realm Demons here!"
Great Sage System:?
No!
I only deducted a few points from you, and you're going to report me to the Heavenly Dao? At most, I'll give you another hundred points!
The void of the Heavenly Dao.
Zhang Hao had just finished dismantling Luohu's System into its origin and repairing the damaged spiritual meridians in the west when he sensed Hongjun's "report."
He raised an eyebrow, and a wisp of his consciousness instantly descended upon Zixiao Palace.
He saw Hongjun sitting upright, the Jade Disc of Creation above his head casting a clear light, his expression filled with righteous indignation, as if he hadn't just uttered the words "I'm reporting."
Within his sea of consciousness, a ball of light was flashing frantically, emitting sharp explosions that only Zhang Hao could hear:
"Hongjun! You can't play fair! You're breaking the industry rules! I'm going to complain—uh?"
The ball of light's voice abruptly stopped as it felt an irresistible will completely lock onto it and "pry" it out of Hongjun's sea of consciousness.
Hongjun felt a sense of relief as Zhang Hao arrived.
The System's strength did not far exceed that of a Saint, so Hongjun was able to restrain it for a moment.
The System trembled under Zhang Hao's gaze.
The level of the being before it was far beyond its comprehension.
This was not the incomplete and rigid Great Desolation Heavenly Dao it knew?
This was clearly a conscious, shrewd, and cunning old schemer!
