An unscrupulous uncle?

Tongtian said, "Master, I personally visited the Supreme Heaven Realm. Although it couldn't compare to Hong Huang, it had a peak Hunyuan expert presiding over it. Unfortunately, I lost back then.

"But as peerless half-step Heaven Realm experts, surely that peak Hunyuan cultivator wouldn't dare disregard you?"

His implication was clear: why weren't these half-step Heaven Realm experts taking action?

The others glared at Tongtian. If Hongjun intervened, what would be left for them?

Why had they launched invasion after invasion over the years? Wasn't it because they feared those few experts would emerge from seclusion and act personally, leaving them no share of the Supreme Heaven Realm?

Fortunately, Hongjun's next words let them breathe a sigh of relief.

"Intervene? Not only will I refrain from intervening, but so will my fellow Daoists Chu, Nuwa, Houtu, and Haotian.

"When the Supreme Heaven Realm emerged, we noticed it immediately.

"Afterward, to ensure fairness among Hong Huang's many factions and races, we agreed that none of us would intervene."

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor!"

Hongjun continued, "Do your best. The peak Hunyuan expert in the Supreme Heaven Realm intends to use merit to force a breakthrough to the half-step Heaven Realm.

"Although doing so will leave their foundation somewhat unstable, they will still be far beyond anything a peak Hunyuan cultivator can rival.

"If that expert breaks through first, you will have no chance left."

"Well..."

Everyone thought, Aren't you half-step Heaven Realm experts yourselves? Won't you step in to keep that expert in check?

But no one dared say it aloud, and the words died before they could leave their mouths.

After giving them his instructions, Hongjun once again announced that he was entering seclusion. Out of sight, out of mind.
