To be bestowed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun as the leader of male immortals and establish the renowned Purple Abode faction—how could Duke of the East be an easy opponent?
Yet even he had been unable to do anything to Hongxuan.
One could imagine just how significant Hongxuan's secrets were.
However, given Lord Tongtian's breadth of mind, he naturally would not covet his disciple's secrets.
Instead, he felt that the more secrets his disciple had, the better.
With a faint smile,
Lord Tongtian employed a Sage's method as well, further concealing the Heavenly Secret surrounding Hongxuan.
This way, even if the other Sages tried to divine it again, they would be unable to trace anything back to Hongxuan.
After doing all this, Lord Tongtian immersed himself in the Great Dao once more.
Meanwhile, Hongxuan, who had just set foot on the Primordial Continent, had no idea that some of his secrets had already been discovered by Lord Tongtian.
Lord Tongtian had even helped him conceal them further.
Still, even if he knew, there was nothing he could do.
The abilities of a Sage were not something a mere Profound Immortal like him could imagine.
As long as the Sage did not help Duke of the East come after him, everything would be fine.
Fortunately, Duke of the East's fortune would run out in this calamity.
He would not be able to keep jumping around for much longer.
Hongxuan only needed to lie low and keep playing it safe.
Eastern Sea Coast, Hengshan Tribe.
In the sky.
Hongxuan looked down at the tribe below, a gratified expression appearing on his face.
More than two thousand years had passed.
The Hengshan Tribe was now even larger in scale.
Hongxuan made a rough calculation. It was the largest tribe within a million li.
Its population had already surpassed ten million.
There were also quite a few cultivators.
Of course, what Hongxuan valued most was the number of low-level martial artists.
Perhaps because this was the birthplace of martial artists,
nearly everyone who did not cultivate immortality practiced martial arts.
There were no exceptions, regardless of gender or age.
Perhaps the martial artists' combat strength could not compare with the witches and demons of the outside world.
But they had their own way of surviving.
With martial strength protecting them, the Human Race at least possessed some ability to defend itself.
More importantly, the Human Race's labor efficiency had increased, and martial arts could strengthen their bodies as well.
Unfortunately.
Although Hongxuan now had the ability to create the realms beyond martial artists, the time was not yet right.
Without sufficient cultivation, one was not qualified to spread the Dao.
Nor could one bear the immense karma that would come from spreading it.
If this drew the attention of an even more powerful demon army,
that would be a true disaster.
Perhaps he would only begin acting after reaching the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, or even the Quasi-Sage realm, someday in the future!
Of course.
If a child of destiny emerged among the Human Race and carried forward the Martial Dao he had passed down,
Hongxuan would be even happier to see it.
However, that possibility was minuscule.
Only after the witches and demons fell, and the Human Race became the protagonists of heaven and earth, would there be a chance!
Without alerting anyone in the tribe, Hongxuan flew directly toward a nearby mountain range.
He planned to enter seclusion there and refine the supreme treasure.
He would also lie low for a while.
Once the matter of Mount Fangzhang in the East Sea had passed, he would proceed with the next step.
No years were counted in the Primordial Wilderness.
Hongxuan remained in the mountains, cultivating while refining the supreme treasure.
He often quietly recited the Yellow Court Scripture, while never ceasing his comprehension of the Eternal Dao Tome and the Destiny Compass.
Amid such peaceful cultivation, a thousand years swiftly passed.
You read the Yellow Court Scripture and comprehend the mysterious profound truths within. Heaven-defying comprehension triggered. Your innate foundation deepened, and your Dao Heart grew ever more perfected and unified! You comprehended the Eternal Dao Tome and the Destiny Compass, gaining an ever-deeper understanding of destiny. Heaven-defying comprehension triggered. You successfully comprehended a trace of the Law of Destiny!
Yingzhou Purple Abode.
"A thousand years have already passed. Why have you still not captured that little thief?"
"You do not even know who the little thief is. Is this how you handle matters?"
Duke of the East glared at the immortals below and roared in displeasure.
"Your Majesty, we have already done our utmost. This thief must possess a supreme treasure capable of concealing the Heavenly Secret."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible for us not to find him!"
"No. No matter the cost, we must find this thief!"
"Mount Fangzhang was severely ravaged by that little thief. More importantly, the treasures on the island must have been stolen by him!"
"They must be recovered!"
"Once I catch him, I will tear him into ten thousand pieces and destroy both his body and soul!"
When Duke of the East had found Mount Yingzhou and Mount Penglai, he had obtained several spiritual treasures and spiritual roots.
Mount Fangzhang, Mount Yingzhou, and Mount Penglai were the three islands, all of equal rank.
Since Mount Fangzhang had only just emerged, it was bound to contain treasures as well.
Those things should have belonged to him in the first place.
Yet they had been stolen by that little thief. With Duke of the East's temperament, how could he possibly accept that willingly?
They did not even know whether the other party was friend or foe. What if he became their enemy in the future?
"Your Majesty, a mere little thief is not worth mentioning. The most urgent matter now is guarding against a surprise attack on our Purple Abode faction by the Demon Celestial Court!"
"If Dijun wishes to gather fortune and ultimately fight the witches to the death, he must first destroy our Purple Abode faction."
"I have already divined it. The Demon Celestial Court has begun making its moves!"
"If this continues, we will inevitably fall into a passive position."
"Once the decisive battle begins, our chances of victory will be minuscule."
Duke of the East's expression darkened.
Dijun and Taiyi of the Demon Celestial Court were irreconcilable mortal enemies of his.
Sooner or later, they would fight a life-and-death battle.
Naturally, he was unwilling to simply await death!
He had to strike back forcefully.
"Hmph! Those two furred, horned demon freaks, Dijun and Taiyi—I will surely destroy them and accomplish the great undertaking of unifying the Primordial Wilderness!"
"Immediately pass down the order. So long as any demons are found harboring ill intent, there is no need to report back. Strike back directly and forcefully!"
"The more demons you kill, the greater the rewards!"
Demon Celestial Court.
"Brother, now that the time has come, should we make a move against Duke of the East and the Purple Abode faction?"
