Dan Jing: Zhen Yuanzi, You Wouldn't Want To...
"..."
Zhen Yuanzi remained silent for a moment.
It wasn't that he didn't believe what His Majesty said.
The main point is that Zhen Yuanzi realized that wisp of Primordial Purple Qi—
Without sufficient strength, not only will you be unable to defend yourself, but you will also lose your life.
My close friend Hong Yun is a living example right in front of me.
If possible--
He certainly wanted it too!
Zhen Yuanzi was determined to avenge the death of his dearest friend!
But I want revenge...
But how easy is that?
The Primordial Purple Qi could give him the opportunity to become a saint, and becoming a saint could give him the possibility of revenge.
But all of this is based on the premise that--
Only by guarding that wisp of Primordial Purple Qi can everything be in vain!
Looking at the silent Zhen Yuanzi, Dan Jing took in all his thoughts.
A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.
He spoke in a persuasive tone:
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, you don't want Hong Yun's revenge either, do you? You can't avenge him, can you?"
"Achieving Sainthood--"
This is your only chance to avenge your best friend!
A brief pause.
Dan Jing spoke again, dispelling Zhen Yuanzi's last shred of hesitation:
"Rest assured--"
"In the eyes of others, Hong Yun's wisp of Primordial Purple Qi had already disintegrated."
"Therefore, you have absolutely no need to worry about anyone knowing that this Primordial Purple Qi will appear in your hands!"
While they were talking.
Buzz--
Dan Jing casually raised his hand, and as his fingers gently clenched, wisps of purple mist began to gather in his palm.
A few breaths later.
Buzz--
That wisp of Primordial Purple Qi, which had originally disintegrated, reappeared intact in Dan Jing's hand, flowing with the true meaning of the Great Dao!
Looking at the Primordial Purple Qi in his hand.
A deep smile flickered in Dan Jing's Golden Eyes:
"You want to know--"
Why should I refuse Hong Yun's offer?
Upon hearing this...
Swish--
Zhen Yuanzi's gaze, which had been drawn to the Primordial Purple Qi, immediately shifted to Dan Jing.
His eyes held a hint of contemplation:
"Please give your instructions, Your Majesty!"
He really wanted to know--
Given the temperament of this sage before him, he shouldn't be so short-tempered as to not even give Hong Yun a few words.
He smiled.
Dan Jing's lips curved into an even wider smile:
"First--"
"Hong Yun and the two of you are planning to use my influence to do your own thing."
"There may be some fun, but Laozi don't like it."
"And... who gave you the wrong impression that Laozi 'm willing to let you use my power?"
Secondly--
"And who gave you the misconception that agreeing to lend us their power would be more enjoyable than refusing to lend it to us?"
But I must say--
"It's quite amusing that you're trying to exploit the courage and ignorance of someone who has attained the highest level of the Dao-Proven Realm."
"Hahaha..."
As he spoke.
Dan Jing let out a hearty, mocking laugh at Zhen Yuanzi without any hesitation. His casual and arrogant attitude made even Zhen Yuanzi, with his composure, somewhat unable to hold back.
This Your Majesty-
She really doesn't know how to talk!
"At last."
After Dan Jing finished laughing, he continued:
"Hong Yun abdicated his position in the Violet Cloud Palace to Jieyin, which indirectly led to Zhunti the sainthood, while Kunpeng lost his."
"On him--"
"There is a karmic connection with two Sage Realm... and moreover, there is an indirect karmic entanglement with the old Sage Realm."
"Do you think Hong Yun, with his small frame, can handle it?"
"So--"
"Not only does he bear immense karmic burdens, but he also dared to scheme against Laozi, tsk tsk tsk... If he doesn't die, who will?"
Silence.
Only silence remained.
Dan Jing's words shattered all of Zhen Yuanzi's remaining hopes!
Over these long years --
Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun were not unaware of the Sage Throne... and the indirect karmic consequences between them and the Human Dao Ancestor!
But they didn't speculate too much.
It's not that I can't guess, it's that I can't.
It's alright if you guess wrong.
But if they guessed correctly... then a sunny day is not ahead for them!
It seems you've figured it out.
Seeing Zhen Yuanzi remain silent, Dan Jing casually tossed the Primordial Purple Qi in his hand to Zhen Yuanzi.
He smiled and said:
"Whether you want revenge, or you want Hong Yun to return and protect him."
"This wisp of Primordial Purple Qi is your only chance."
The choice is yours.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what you'll do!
The words had barely left his mouth.
Dan Jing, seated atop the All-Heavens Auspicious Cloud, vanished from Zhen Yuanzi's sight.
With a single thought, he absorbed the Primordial Purple Qi.
With a silent expression, Zhen Yuanzi glanced around, determined the direction, and headed straight for the Fire Cloud Cave.
Hong Yun is dead.
Zhen Yuanzi could not stand idly by and watch others take over Fire Cloud Cave, his Daoist Sanctuary!
Western Lands.
On Mount Sumeru.
After confirming that Hong Yun was dead and gone, Jieyin and Zhunti, the two fellow disciples, exchanged a glance and then both breathed a sigh of relief.
To tell the truth--
Since obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi, the two brothers have been both overjoyed and quite worried!
After all, Jieyin and Zhunti, who mainly cultivated the Karmic Dao and Zhunti, were well aware of the Sage Throne Hong Yun.
And there were two of them!
How could Jieyin and Zhunti, who lived in poverty and lived on the devastated Western Lands, possibly repay this debt?
So.
From the very beginning--
The two brothers, Jieyin and Zhunti, had already made up their minds that they would never repay Hong Yun for this karmic debt!
At least...
They simply won't actively seek to repay that karmic debt.
Certainly.
They weren't shameless enough to actively plot against Hong Yun's downfall... or rather, they haven't actively plotted against Hong Yun's downfall at this stage!
Most--
It was only when interacting, exchanging ideas, and discussing the Dao with some fellow Daoists that he would occasionally lament the "trouble" of the Primordial Purple Qi being so difficult to refine.
Therefore...
It's just to amplify the desire for Primordial Purple Qi in the hearts of many Primordial Divine Being and rising powerhouses.
Absolutely nothing else was done!
Moreover...
After the Sun Star deity successfully Dao-Proven Realm, the two brothers, Jieyin and Zhunti, were even more eager to become saints than to cause trouble!
Similarly.
It was also because that Your Majesty successfully Dao-Proven Realm enlightenment--
The desire of powerful beings from all corners of the world for the Primordial Purple Qi, the Sagehood Foundation, has become even stronger!
Even without the two brothers stirring things up, plenty of people wanted to kill Hong Yun and seize that wisp of Primordial Purple Qi.
Now--
Hong Yun's body vanished and his cultivation ceased...
Aside from not offering any assistance, it actually had little to do with Jieyin and Zhunti.
"Senior brother."
Zhunti frowned, his face showing a hint of composure.
"Hong Yun is dead, and the karma between us should be partially cleared."
"Next--"
"Should we extradite Hong Yun back, and then...?"
Zhunti didn't finish speaking, but Jieyin understood what he meant.
After a moment of contemplation.
Jieyin shook his head and said:
"That's unacceptable!"
"Right now, the most urgent task for us brothers is to seek the throne!"
"Only after achieving sainthood can all plans and schemes proceed smoothly."
"Without achieving sainthood, all schemes are in vain!"
Upon hearing this...
After a moment's Zhunti, Zhunti nodded slightly.
"Senior brother is right!"
To become a saint.
Only by becoming a saint can one have the right to strategize and plan freely in this world!
Otherwise--
The two brothers could only continue to lie low, relying on others for their existence!
For example...
He was aloof and arrogant, never taking the two brothers seriously, not even giving them a second glance.
That one from the Sun Star!
