Hongyun Meets with Calamity

Empress Wa Heaven!

This is a world that Nüwa created from the Chaos of the Heaven Beyond Heaven after she became a saint, serving as her Human Path.

Of course, unlike Ao Changsheng's Great Thousand World which is not part of the Primordial World, this world was created by Nüwa using the Power of the Heavenly Dao.

It remains a Great Thousand World under the jurisdiction of the Primordial World.

Two beams of rainbow light pierced through the vast Chaos and arrived outside the Empress Wa Heaven.

"Dijun and Taiyi request a Lady Nüwa."

Two beams of rainbow light transformed into two figures outside the Empress Wa Heaven, who bowed respectfully. Who else could they be but the Heavenly Emperor Dijun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi?

After quite a while...

Nüwa's voice then drifted over.

"I understand your intentions. I will eventually become a member of the Demon Race. As long as you do not provoke me, no Sage will take action against the Demon Race."

"You may all leave!"

Upon hearing Nüwa's words, Dijun and Taiyi exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After bowing and paying their respects, Dijun and Taiyi turned and left Empress Wa Heaven.

Watching the two figures disappear into the Chaos, Nüwa's gaze remained calm and undisturbed.

As for the drastically different attitudes of Dijun and Taiyi compared to when she was in Heavenly Court, she didn't care at all.

For Sage, even the rulers of powerful forces like the Demon Race or the Heavenly Court are nothing more than beings who can be wiped out with a flick of their finger.

Respect is a matter of course; whether it is fake 'respect' or genuine 'awe' is irrelevant.

"Although we Sage attained enlightenment in this era, this era has never truly been Sage time," Nüwa murmured softly.

This era is the Witch-Demon Tribulation; it is ordained by Heaven, it is the will of Heaven!

For the Heavenly Dao Sage, the will of Heaven is what they need to uphold.

After all, it was 'divine will'!

In the midst of Chaos.

Dijun and Taiyi transformed into rainbow light and returned to the Primordial World, their faces stern, completely devoid of the respect they had shown outside Empress Wa Heaven.

This is the second time!

This was the second time the two of them had visited the Sage amidst the Chaos, and also the second time they had received an answer but were turned away.

Although they were satisfied with both answers.

"Sage!"

Both Dijun and Taiyi had a burning desire to become saints.

The moment he stepped into the Primordial World, Dijun suddenly paused, flipped his hand, and a broken token appeared in his palm.

Looking at the shattered token.

Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi exchanged a glance, their eyes both revealing ecstatic joy.

The opportunity has arrived!

"The foundation for sainthood... Primordial purple qi..."

Fire Cloud Cave, Hongyun sensed the lifeless Primordial purple qi in her sea of consciousness, her expression incredibly complex.

Those who obtained the Primordial purple qi in the Primordial World have all become saints, except for him, who has not yet achieved success.

Even after searching for countless years, he had not even grasped the basics of the Sage.

"Am I destined never to become a saint?" Hongyun thought to himself, feeling troubled, and couldn't help but think of what had happened in the Purple Firmament Palace.

When the six people in the first row— Three Purities, Nüwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti— obtained the Primordial purple qi, Dao Ancestor Hongjun explicitly stated that they would definitely become saints in the future.

He was just lucky to be hit by the Primordial purple qi.

Thinking of this, Hongyun felt even more annoyed. As a transformed Hongyun, he originally disliked staying in one place for too long, even his own dojo.

In order to comprehend the opportunity to become a saint, he has been cultivating diligently in his own temple for tens of millions of years, and he has already reached his limit.

This time, being provoked by the appearance of the five saints together, Hongyun suddenly had the idea of going out for a walk.

"Perhaps, if I go out for a walk, I'll grasp the foundation for sainthood! Who knows!"

Hongyun found a reason for herself in her heart, and then stepped out of the Fire Cloud Cave, flying freely in the sky with a refreshed look on her face.

"Let's go find Brother Zhenyuan! After all these years, he must have accumulated quite a few Zhenyuan Ginseng Fruit."

Having flown freely and thoroughly, Hongyun thought of the Ginseng Fruit, wiped his mouth, and said, "This humble Daoist priest must go and help him resolve this matter!"

Acting on impulse is Hongyun's nature. He immediately transformed into a streak of red light and sped off towards Five Villages Temple.

However...

Unbeknownst to Hongyun, as he flew away from Fire Cloud Cave, a little demon in front of his door silently crushed two tokens in its hand while watching the receding red light in the sky.

"Have you finally left the dojo?"

Looking at the shattered token, Kunpeng's lips curled into a cold smile.

As early as a thousand years ago, when Nüwa created the Sage, she roughly guessed that the Primordial World would enter an era of many sages.

Therefore, Kunpeng's thirst for the Sage and the Primordial purple qi prompted Kunpeng to take action.

Three Purities of Pangu Kunpeng naturally dared not attack them. Two of the Three Purities possessed Innate Supreme Treasures, and the other wielded the devastating weapon Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.

Let alone the Three Purities Ones as a unit, even in a one-on-one fight, Kunpeng is no match for the Three Purities Ones.

As for the Western duo, while they may not be as good as the Three Purities, they are definitely not a good choice to make a move.

Therefore... the result is obvious: Kunpeng chose Hongyun as his target.

Unlike others who have Hongjun as their backer, Hongyun is a true powerhouse without any background, and his strength is not particularly great, nor are his spiritual treasures particularly powerful.

Naturally, there was no more suitable target than Hongyun.

"Don't blame me, Hongyun. Although we have no past grievances or recent enmity, it's your own fault for possessing the Primordial purple qi yet being unable to attain enlightenment!" Kunpeng muttered to himself.

Unlike the original development, where Kunpeng harbored hostility because Hongyun gave way, this is different from the situation in the past.

In this lifetime, because Hongjun was so engrossed in cultivation that he forgot that Purple Firmament Palace had opened its gates ahead of time, this event did not occur.

Heavenly Court.

Two figures stood inside the Southern Heavenly Gate, watching as the Peng bird, transformed from Kunpeng, quietly left the Heavenly Realm and headed to the Primordial World.

"As expected, the Demon Master intends to seize Hongyun's Primordial purple qi." Taiyi watched the departing Kunpeng, narrowed his eyes, and said softly.

"That's normal. After all, that's the foundation for becoming a saint. After experiencing the aura of those six Sages, who wouldn't covet that wisp of Primordial purple qi!"

Dijun's voice was calm, showing no resentment at Kunpeng's departure. Instead, his expression was serene. "Second brother, remember, the Demon Master is a powerful figure in our Demon Race. Do not overstep your bounds!"

"I understand, brother!" Taiyi grinned, fully understanding the meaning behind Dijun's words.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately concealed his aura with the Chaos Bell above his head, turned around, transformed into a streak of rainbow light, and silently followed Kunpeng.

After watching Taiyi leave, Dijun did not return. Instead, he mustered his troops and led a group of Demon Race to the Primordial World.

Hongyun, who was leisurely flying towards Five Villages Temple, suddenly changed his expression. A red gourd appeared in his hand, and he looked warily at the sky.

"Who is it that's hiding here, fellow Daoist!" Hongyun shouted in a deep voice.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun is indeed very perceptive. I only arrived a short while ago and caught a glimpse of you from afar before you spotted me."

The sound came from the sky, and at the same time, a gust of wind tore apart the clouds in the sky, and a sinister Daoist priest slowly floated down from the sky.

"Kunpeng?"

Hongyun narrowed her eyes, looking at the newcomer with wariness.

"Don't be nervous. I've come here simply to ask Fellow Daoist Hongyun for a favor!"

Kunpeng wore a smile, but his eyes were fixed on Hongyun with ill intent.

"Please grant me that favor!"

Hongyun sneered. Although he was known as a kind-hearted person, Hongyun, as Quasi-Sage who had lived in the Primordial World for countless years, was definitely not stupid.

The Quasi-Sage's Law Power surged into the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd in his hand, and immediately a bright red light shone out, with wisps of red sand gushing out to protect his body.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Hongyun is unwilling to grant me this favor." Kunpeng's face suddenly darkened as he looked at Hongyun's posture.

The Law Power of the Two-Corpse-Severing Quasi-Sage surged forth, and a terrifying pressure spread towards the Hongyun.

"Hmm..."

Hongyun groaned, and a trickle of blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth.

As One-Corpse-Severing Quasi-Sage, and whose first corpse was only severed by High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure Quasi-Sage, his cultivation level is far inferior to that of Kunpeng has already severed two corpses.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, you should hand it over! The Primordial purple qi is not something a mere One-Corpse Quasi-Sage you can possess." Kunpeng no longer concealed his intentions, and said with a sinister expression.

"The Primordial purple qi was bestowed by the Dao Ancestor. Kunpeng, where did you get the audacity to forcibly seize it? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Dao Ancestor?" Hongyun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly.

"It is true that the Dao Ancestor bestowed it upon you, but Hongyun, you yourself are not ambitious enough and have been unable to become a saint, thus wasting this fortuitous opportunity."

"It also delayed the return of the Primordial World Sage, so I dare to ask Fellow Daoist Hongyun to hand over this foundation for sainthood."

Don't mislead others or yourself!

Upon hearing this, Hongyun felt a surge of anger rise from the bottom of his heart, and he angrily rebuked, "You old thief Kunpeng, how dare you bully me like this!"

Before he could finish speaking, he poured his immense Quasi-Sage Law Power into the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd.

In an instant, the red sand turned into clouds, covering the sky and the sun, and surged towards the Kunpeng.

"Sizzle..."

The Soul-Losing Red Sand began to corrode as soon as it touched Kunpeng's protective magic Law Power. Kunpeng's protective magic Law Power Two-Corpse-Severing Quasi-Sage, was quickly corroded away by the red sand.

Moreover, looking at the sky Soul-Scattering Red Sand, Kunpeng felt dizzy and his soul seemed to be dissipating.

"How vicious and pathetic Soul-Losing Red Sand!"

Kunpeng's expression changed slightly. He channeled his magic Law Power to the fullest extent, and a gust of wind suddenly arose, scattering the red sand that filled the sky. Then he looked in the direction of the Hongyun.

There's no trace of Hongyun anymore.

After all, he was a seasoned veteran who had lived for countless years. Although he seemed to be attacking with all his might in anger, Hongyun actually fled directly.

Kunpeng's expression turned slightly cold. From the void beside him, the two corpses, one good and one evil, slowly walked over.

"That Soul-Losing Red Sand from the Hongyun not only corrodes Law Power and shakes the soul, but it can also defile the formation, which is why he escaped!"

The Good Corpse shook its head.

Kunpeng's face was cold. He wasn't here to chat with Hongyun; he was here to set up a grand formation.

While trapping Hongyun, they also tried their best to prevent the news from spreading that he had killed Hongyun and seized the Primordial purple qi.

But now...

"Hongyun, you can't escape!" Kunpeng retrieved the two corpses of good and evil, and without the slightest hesitation, transformed into a Peng bird and chased after Hongyun at high speed.

Even if there are no formations to conceal the secrets of heaven, so what?

A resolute glint flashed in Kunpeng's cold eyes.

Today... Hongyun is doomed, Primordial purple qi will also be his.

No matter who comes, it won't make a difference!

That's what Kunpeng said!
