Southern Spirit Sacred Sea!
The island where Hongjun resides!
It is located on the mountain behind the palace where Hongjun resides.
At this moment, Hongjun was tending to a vegetable garden he had planted.
Hongjun, who had just finished clearing the weeds, was getting up.
A figure came into his view.
The newcomer was Mu Tong who had just come from the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea.
He had actually been there for a while.
I just saw Hongjun tending to the vegetable garden.
So they simply waited quietly not far away.
Regarding what Hongjun is doing.
The Mu Tong showed no surprise whatsoever.
After all, it possesses endless years.
It's impossible for cultivators to be cultivating all the time.
Moreover, this applies to those at the level of Hongjun.
Cultivation no longer has much effect on him.
Unless there is a special opportunity.
He will remain at his current level indefinitely.
At this point...
A peaceful life seems to be what they yearn for.
Among the monks the Mu Tong had seen.
Many people, like Hongjun, lead Yuansheng.
Some cultivators even became numb to themselves over those endless years.
They even chose to be reborn in the lower realm in order to seek the meaning of their existence.
When Hongjun saw the Mu Tong appear, he was not too surprised.
After leaving his vegetable garden.
Hongjun looked at the Mu Tong with indifferent eyes and shook his head, saying:
"Perhaps you can persuade Hermoz and Dasiwoba."
"But your coming here is futile."
The Mu Tong merely smiled at Hongjun's words.
He understood, of course, that these words were meant for Primordial Chaos rather than for him.
After all, this isn't Eternal Ruins.
Primordial Chaos may be aware of everything that happens on this land of the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands.
The Mu Tong watched as Hongjun prepared to leave on his own.
He spoke calmly:
" Primordial Chaos is currently meeting with an important guest."
"He has no time to concern himself with other matters."
As the Mu Tong fairy tale faded away...
Hongjun's right foot, which he had just raised, slowly fell back down.
But Hongjun didn't turn around; he simply said something while his back was to the Mu Tong.
"Since they are guests, we must not be impolite."
"If you don't mind, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?"
After saying that, Hongjun continued walking forward.
The Mu Tong didn't say a word, but quietly followed Hongjun all the way.
The path down the mountain to the palace wasn't long.
It only takes the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
However, neither Hongjun nor the Mu Tong uttered a single word along the way.
Upon arriving at the palace, Hongjun personally brewed tea.
After inviting the Mu Tong to sit down...
Hongjun still showed no intention of speaking first, simply sitting on his high seat, calmly sipping his tea.
The two remained locked in this stalemate for about one or two hundred breaths.
At some point!
The Mu Tong finally broke the silence.
"Congratulations to your disciple, Liu Yuansheng, on breaking through to the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm."
"Now, your Eastern Victorious Divine Sea has two beings at the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm."
"Your position as the ruler of Four Seas is now even more secure."
As the Mu Tong spoke, his eyes remained fixed on Hongjun.
Unexpectedly, Hongjun showed no sign of surprise at his words.
After taking a few sips of tea, Hongjun put down his teacup and looked at the Mu Tong.
"Your presence here is to congratulate the Yuansheng on obtaining the opportunity of the Eternal Ruins."
"Then perhaps you've come at the wrong time, or rather, you've come to the wrong person."
" Yuansheng is not here today, but I will convey your message on his behalf."
"If there's nothing else, I think you should drink this cup of tea and then go where you need to go."
Faced with Hongjun's order to leave, the Mu Tong's expression darkened slightly.
He cursed the old fox inwardly.
The Mu Tong then gathered his thoughts and said:
" Lin Heng is only one step away from the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm."
"Aren't you afraid that his breakthrough will jeopardize your status as the administrator of the Four Seas?"
This matter is indeed linked to Hongjun's interests.
However, Hongjun remained indifferent to this.
Whether Lin Heng breaks through to the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm or not is not of much concern to me.
His purpose has never been Four Seas and Eight Wastelands.
"Even if I were to hand over this so-called position of administrator of Four Seas, he wouldn't be interested in it whatsoever."
"If that's the case, why should I care?"
At this point, Hongjun smiled slightly.
"Furthermore."
"If someone is willing to take over the management of the Four Seas from me, and my master agrees, I would be happy to put down this burden and live a more peaceful life."
The Mu Tong couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It has to be said that Hongjun was definitely the most troublesome person he had ever met.
The Mu Tong, who had originally planned to proceed cautiously step by step, was forced to change his strategy.
"If Lin Heng is destined to become not the administrator of the Four Seas, but the Sovereign of the Four Seas..."
The Mu Tong didn't finish his sentence.
As he uttered his last word, his eyes glanced at Hongjun out of the corner of his eye.
He clearly noticed that Hongjun, who had remained calm and composed, had slightly lowered his eyelids.
Even deep within his eyes, a strange glint flashed.
Although this unusual behavior was only concealed by Hongjun for a moment.
But the Mu Tong knew that his words had touched Hongjun's heart.
This time, the Mu Tong chose to remain silent and did not continue speaking.
In the silence, Hongjun suddenly stood up.
"There can only ever be one Sovereign of the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands."
"Your words seem to be trying to sow discord between Lin Heng and his master."
"But you'll be disappointed; Lin Heng is not the Mu Chen of yesteryear."
"And the tricks you used on Mu Chen back then will never have a second chance of succeeding."
As Hongjun finished speaking, his gaze fell upon the Mu Tong from a superior position.
"It seems there's no need for us to continue this discussion."
"We apologize, but please finish your tea and leave."
Hongjun did not give the Mu Tong another chance to speak.
After finishing his self-talk, he left the main hall, leaving the Mu Tong alone.
But faced with Hongjun's rude behavior...
The Mu Tong watched his departing figure and a smile appeared on his face.
The fifth layer of the Primordial Chaos Universe!
In that place where only Primordial Chaos resides.
But today, an uninvited 'guest' has arrived here.
Primordial Chaos looked at the woman in front of him with slight surprise.
Here, no one can appear without permission.
Even Hongjun needed his approval before he could enter.
But the person before me is able to appear freely in the fifth layer of his own universe, unfettered.
This made Primordial Chaos curious about the woman's identity and strength.
"Who are you?"
"And how did you get in here?"
In response to Primordial Chaos's inquiry.
The woman shook her head helplessly.
"You really have forgotten everything."
"Your identity, your mission, do you really remember none of it?"
