Defying Heaven's Comprehension, Creating the Grand Destiny Art, Shocking Lord Tongtian

"I already know your identity, Fellow Daoist Hongxuan of the Jie Sect!"

"Once you advance to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, I will come find you again!"

"By then, I will make you trust me."

With that, Golden Fortune Daoist gave Hongxuan a deep look, then turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

Hongxuan frowned slightly.

Golden Fortune Daoist was even more mysterious than he had imagined.

How had he learned of his identity?

Had he deduced it?

And how could he be certain that he would know once Hongxuan advanced to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm?!

At the same time, he began to doubt the incident where Five Absolutes Daoists had chased Golden Fortune Daoist.

Given Golden Fortune Daoist's strangeness, could a mere Five Absolutes Daoists truly have driven him into such a sorry state?

Could it be that while he had been waiting for the other party, the other party had also been deliberately approaching him?

Had Golden Fortune Daoist set his sights on him long ago?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

At the same time, more and more questions arose.

Hongxuan quickly cut off his wandering thoughts and stopped overthinking.

His most urgent task now was to obtain the last Earth Spirit Pearl.

As for Golden Fortune Daoist, that could wait.

Once he attained the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, he would properly consider the matter.

By then, he would also possess the strength needed to deal with it.

Without strength, what would it matter even if he knew the truth?

He would not be able to resolve anything at all.

He unfolded the beast-hide map and glanced at it, unable to hide his astonishment.

"Buzhou Mountain?"

The map's final destination was actually somewhere on Buzhou Mountain.

Could it truly be a Land of Opportunity?

Why had Golden Fortune Daoist not gone there?

He folded the beast-hide map and put it away. Hongxuan steadied his mind.

With a step, his figure vanished.

When he reappeared, he was already hundreds of thousands of li away.

Thus, he hurried all the way toward Buzhou Mountain.

At the same time, he pondered the final Earth Spirit Pearl along the way.

According to the results of his Grand Deduction Art, the place where he would successfully obtain it was also on Buzhou Mountain.

Of course, it was also the possibility with the greatest chance of success.

Just as when he had obtained the Metal Spirit Pearl, everything had gone exceptionally smoothly.

Although he had met a mysterious and unfathomable figure, and did not know whether that would prove good or bad in the future.

As far as the Metal Spirit Pearl was concerned, however, the matter had ended perfectly.

He only hoped that nothing unexpected would happen with the Earth Spirit Pearl.

You refined the Metal Spirit Pearl and comprehended the Dao rhythm within it. Your heaven-defying comprehension was triggered, and you comprehended a trace of the Law of Metal.

While traveling, Hongxuan did not waste any time. He directly refined the Metal Spirit Pearl.

At the same time, he comprehended the profound Dao rhythm within it.

He gained a trace of insight into the Law of Metal.

Unfortunately, without the Earth Spirit Pearl in hand, he could not take the opportunity to condense the Metal Essence of the Lungs.

"So this is Buzhou Mountain? It truly deserves to be called the ancestral vein of the Primordial Wilderness. No other mountain range can compare."

"Unfortunately, it will be struck down before long!"

Standing at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, Hongxuan looked up. His heart was filled with nothing but awe.

At the same time, he made up his mind to properly climb Buzhou Mountain.

He would experience Pangu's pressure and temper himself.

But first, he had to settle the important matter at hand.

Hongxuan immediately used the Grand Deduction Art to locate the true Land of Opportunity.

"Buzhou Mountain is correct, but the timing is somewhat off. The opportunity will not arrive until ten thousand years from now."

Hongxuan had a bad feeling about this.

Not long ago, when he had performed the deduction, the timing had still been the present.

Yet when he deduced it again now, the opportunity had been delayed by ten thousand years.

Had something changed?

Hongxuan deduced it several more times, but the results remained the same.

Suppressing the restlessness and unease in his heart, Hongxuan resolutely began climbing Buzhou Mountain.

With every step he took, the pressure grew stronger.

The Lich Tribulation had already reached its final stage. Why was Buzhou Mountain's pressure still so heavy?

He wondered how the nearby living beings had survived all these years.

A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

As Hongxuan climbed ever higher, the mana within his body became increasingly pure.

Even his primordial spirit grew more rounded and flawless.

At the same time, as more time passed, Hongxuan gradually began adapting to Buzhou Mountain's environment.

Somewhere on the mountainside.

Hongxuan sat cross-legged, quietly comprehending the Great Dao while sensing the flow of Buzhou Mountain's earth veins.

He combined them with his own Dao.

He merged himself into the surrounding environment.

He continuously comprehended the vast and profound Dao rhythm within it.

He gained immensely from it.

The place where he was now was the Land of Opportunity he had previously deduced.

Yet nothing was happening here now.

He still needed to wait here for several thousand more years.

But he was somewhat unwilling to waste such a long time merely waiting.

After pondering for a long while.

Hongxuan recalled something and took out the beast-hide map Golden Fortune Daoist had given him, studying it carefully.

A Land of Opportunity?

Was it truly a trap?

The Grand Deduction Art showed that this place was extremely dangerous.

Yet it also concealed a great opportunity.

Whether he could seize it would depend entirely on himself.

As for whether this was Golden Fortune Daoist's scheme, there was no way to know.

That would require Hongxuan's own judgment.

He alone would have to bear the consequences of any outcome.

"Perhaps this is Golden Fortune Daoist's test for me, to see whether I am qualified to become his collaborator?"

"Or perhaps this was a scheme from the very beginning?"

Hongxuan's expression changed several times, but in the end, he still decided to take the risk.

If that fellow truly harbored ill intentions, Hongxuan would make him repay the debt in blood someday.
