"Daoist Hongjun, have you foreseen any Heavenly Secrets?"
Several Primordial World ancestors beside Hongjun asked.
The three were Great Immortal Yang Mei, Yin-Yang Ancestor, and Qiankun Ancestor.
Hongjun had accepted Great Immortal Yang Mei's invitation.
The four ancestors sat together and discussed the Dao. In the midst of their discussion, Yang Mei suddenly brought up the Heavenly Secrets.
Yin-Yang Ancestor and Qiankun Ancestor both believed Old Ancestor Hongjun was surely the strongest among them at foreseeing Heavenly Secrets, so they asked him to let his spirit roam beyond the physical world.
Hongjun looked at his three fellow Daoists and smiled. "I'm afraid I must disappoint you all. I haven't received any Heavenly Secrets."
"Heh heh, Daoist Hongjun, you look so composed. It seems you've gained something. You don't look like someone who's learned nothing about the Heavenly Secrets. We're all fellow Daoists here. Why not share your insights with us?"
Great Immortal Yang Mei asked with a smile.
At that moment, Hongjun appeared young before the three of them.
Although Hongjun had looked young when he arrived, Yang Mei simply couldn't believe he knew nothing about the Heavenly Secrets!
Faced with Great Immortal Yang Mei's question and the curious gazes of the two ancestors beside him, Hongjun merely smiled and shook his head.
"I haven't received any Heavenly Secrets."
"Is that so?"
Great Immortal Yang Mei gave him a strange look. As he watched the young Hongjun, a cold laugh rose in his heart.
That might not be true!
Hongjun had calculated every Heavenly Secret, and he looked young—nothing like the Hongjun Yang Mei knew.
If Hongjun claimed he knew nothing about the Heavenly Secrets, or had gained nothing, Great Immortal Yang Mei would be the first not to believe him!
That's right. This was Great Immortal Yang Mei, a transmigrator who had taken over Yang Mei's body.
It hadn't taken him long after transmigrating to figure out that he was in the Primordial World, during the early years of the Dragon-Han Tribulation.
At this point in time, Luohu was still quietly building up his strength.
If they dealt with Luohu now, there would be no Dao-Devil War, and they, the Chaos Demon Gods who had cultivated new bodies, wouldn't die.
That was why he had deliberately gathered all the Chaos Demon Gods who had cultivated new bodies to discuss the Dao.
He had also invited Wangshu, but unfortunately, she hadn't come.
Wangshu had already let go of her desire for revenge against Pangu. In a while, she would probably sacrifice herself to replenish the moon.
In short, he knew that Hongjun had already obtained the Jade Disk of Creation and thus knew all the Heavenly Secrets.
Hongjun knew Luohu was plotting in secret, yet deliberately let him grow stronger. Once Luohu had become powerful enough, Hongjun would have them all act as his scapegoats and take the tribulation in his place.
By using the momentum of the Heavenly Dao to eliminate Demon Ancestor Luohu, Hongjun would become the only surviving reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God in the Primordial World.
In other words, Hongjun had thoroughly manipulated all his old friends.
Even as they died, the people in the original story had no idea how wicked Hongjun's intentions were.
But now, he was no longer the Great Immortal Yang Mei of old. He knew everything Hongjun had done. Did Hongjun still think he could manipulate them? He was dreaming!
So Great Immortal Yang Mei said:
"Actually, I just received a revelation of the Heavenly Secrets."
"Oh? Daoist Yang Mei, what did you learn?"
Yin-Yang Ancestor asked Yang Mei.
"Why not share it with us?"
Hongjun and Qiankun Ancestor also watched him curiously.
Qiankun Ancestor wanted to know what Heavenly Secrets he had received.
Hongjun, on the other hand, simply wanted to see how this transmigrator would smear his name.
That's right. Hongjun had accepted his fate. If a transmigrator didn't target him, he felt uncomfortable all over.
"According to the Heavenly Secrets I received, Luohu has committed countless sins. He intends to use the spiritual energy of the Western Primordial Land, along with the blood essence and resentment produced by the war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Races, to break the Heavenly Dao's seal and prove the Dao to become a saint."
Great Immortal Yang Mei began:
"Luohu founded the Demonic Cult Tradition and obtained the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. He intends to Prove Dao through Killing. If he succeeds, the Primordial World will likely be plunged into bloodshed."
"What?!"
Yin-Yang Ancestor, Qiankun Ancestor, and Hongjun were all shocked by his words.
Hongjun, however, looked rather peculiar.
Well, well. Of all the transmigrators, Yang Mei was the only one who'd brought his brain along.
Hongjun would like to apologize to Yang Mei here. He was wrong to treat you like an ordinary transmigrator.
Great Immortal Yang Mei secretly watched Hongjun's expression and let out a cold laugh.
So you knew the Heavenly Secrets—and now I know them too!
I'll never let you trick us again.
Hongjun! Your scheme has been exposed!
"How could this be?!"
Since Hongjun had possessed his own body, Great Immortal Yang Mei was now the most powerful of the four. Qiankun Ancestor and Yin-Yang Ancestor therefore believed him without hesitation.
Though they didn't know what the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was, they had been fortunate enough to witness the power of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian. During the previous Beast Calamity, Luohu had used those four swords to help them kill Beast Emperor Shen Ni.
If someone like Luohu became a saint, wouldn't he refine the whole world?
Demonic cultivators had never feared being bound by karma.
"Exactly!"
Great Immortal Yang Mei nodded. Keeping an eye on Hongjun, he continued:
"The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is incredibly powerful. With this killing formation, Luohu alone can contend against all four of us. If he proves the Dao and becomes a saint, I fear no one in this world will be able to stop him."
"Outrageous! Demon Ancestor Luohu has such a sinister scheme!"
"We absolutely must not let him succeed, or the Primordial World will be in danger."
After hearing Great Immortal Yang Mei's words, both ancestors felt that they had to stop Luohu.
As for Hongjun, his expression grew even stranger.
After seeing Hongjun's actions, Yang Mei couldn't help wondering what his previous occupation had been.
An insurance salesman? Or a pyramid-scheme peddler?
"Daoist Hongjun? What's wrong?"
Noticing Hongjun's strange expression, Yang Mei Ancestor felt even more certain.
Hongjun must be secretly furious that Yang Mei had ruined his plan.
Heh. He wondered if the Heavenly Dao Hongjun revered by later generations would fly into a rage from humiliation.
But no matter how furious Hongjun was, he would have to act alongside them.
Hongjun had to go with the three of them to deal with Luohu. Otherwise, if the three of them went alone, who would serve as his muscle?
So Yang Mei could turn the tables and make Hongjun serve as his muscle instead.
There was still a long time before Luohu would incite the war between the three races. For now, Luohu was still plotting in secret.
But Yang Mei had told the other two ancestors about the Heavenly Secrets ahead of time.
As a transmigrator, he knew that Hongjun would let Luohu grow stronger so he could eliminate all the Chaos Demon Gods who had cultivated new bodies.
And the one giving Hongjun his orders was most likely the Heavenly Dao!
The Heavenly Dao wouldn't allow these Chaos Demon Gods to survive, fearing they might seek revenge one day.
It was the perfect opportunity to exploit Hongjun's cowardly, greedy nature and wipe out all the Chaos Demon Gods who had cultivated new bodies.
Wangshu was the exception. She'd gone to her own death willingly.
