Chapter 23: Rebuking Hongjun, Embodying the Dao through Law
"Hongjun, don't think I don't know your scheme. You don't want all the beings in the primordial world to know that you want to devour the entire primordial world, do you?"
Wuchen's voice suddenly exploded in Hongjun's mind.
The mocking yet threatening tone instantly darkened Hongjun's face, and the oppressive aura of a saint surged like a tide, suppressing everyone wave after wave.
A sage is a sage after all, and Wuchen didn't want to fight him to the death.
The secrets that haven't been revealed are the real secrets. Once they are revealed, no one knows what Hongjun will do next. At the very least, it will have to wait until Houtu attains enlightenment before the secrets are revealed.
However, it's still perfectly fine to use it to threaten and control Hongjun.
"Chess pieces have their own rules, and chess players have their own rules. Victory or defeat depends on each player's skill. Don't try to start over at the drop of a hat."
It is truly unbecoming of a sage to constantly bully the weak.
Even a clay figure has some temper; how much more so should innate beings? If you push them too far and cause them to fall into demonic ways, your old friend will return.
The seemingly subtle warning is actually a threat.
It was this threat that led Hongjun to mistakenly believe that Rahu was behind it.
That damned Rahu, even in death he can't find peace.
"snort!"
Hongjun snorted coldly, and his figure suddenly disappeared above the East Sea.
This scene stunned all living beings in the primordial world.
A dignified saint was forced to retreat by someone who had not even shown himself.
Are saints really so despicable?
At that moment, all living beings in the primordial world suddenly realized something.
Wuchen is already like this even before he has attained enlightenment; what will he be like after he has?
Will he trample saints under his feet?
Many quick-witted individuals suddenly felt that Wuchen might be the most powerful force in the primordial world, and they were tempted to serve him.
Even the Candle Dragon in the deep sea seemed to be gazing thoughtfully in the direction of Fangzhang Island.
The glory days of the dragon race are now a thing of the past.
Under the weight of karma, the cultivation of dragons becomes extremely difficult.
Let alone proving the Way.
Even reaching the realms of Great Luo or Primordial Golden Immortal is incredibly difficult.
In this era where the might of sages overwhelmed the primordial world, it was impossible for the dragon race to survive with dignity; their only option was to attach themselves to another faction.
But he just couldn't bring himself to bow down to a junior.
Taiyi and the others could only swallow their anger and silently lead the heavily injured Dijun out of the East Sea.
Those who had narrowly escaped the crisis breathed a sigh of relief.
They were no match for the Demon Court.
If it weren't for Zhulong's intervention, their Celestial Court would likely have been annihilated today.
Fangzhang Island.
Wuchen withdrew his gaze, sensing the Creation Lotus that had grown slightly within his dantian, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
"I never expected that comprehending more laws would also nourish the growth of the Creation Lotus and accelerate the gestation of the primordial Dao seed."
"In that case, it's no longer convenient to stay on Fangzhang Island and cultivate in seclusion."
The "three thousand" in "three thousand mortal guests of Zixiao Palace" is a figurative number, just like the three thousand Great Daos of Pangu, referring to all the innate beings who listen to the Dao in Zixiao Palace.
Most of them have now reached the middle and late stages of the Great Luo Dynasty.
A small number of people are at their peak.
"If I could discuss the Dao with them and comprehend more of the laws to nourish the Creation Lotus, the growth rate of my Origin Dao Seed would be greatly enhanced."
Wuchen quickly calculated with his fingers.
"what?"
In his astonishment, his gaze pierced through the void and landed on a series of figures.
They are all great Luo.
From the early stage of the Great Luo to the peak of the Great Luo, there are actually over a thousand different levels.
More than a thousand Great Luo Golden Immortals were now lying in ambush inside Buzhou Mountain.
It's obvious they were planning a sneak attack on the Demon Court.
The Demon Court had just experienced the Battle of the East Sea, and Emperor Jun had suffered another heavy blow.
The Demon Court was at a time of weakness.
The attack by over a thousand Grand Luo Golden Immortals, even if it cannot completely destroy the Demon Court, will definitely deal them a devastating blow.
The leader of those thousand-plus Great Luo cultivators was none other than Styx and Kunpeng, among others.
Good guy.
The demon master Kunpeng actually became the main force attacking the demon court.
The situation is completely out of control.
Even someone as self-important as Yuanshi Tianzun was among them.
Wuchen looked at Nuwa, who was located on the shore of the East Sea, and asked via telepathy, "Did Hongjun say anything after he finished his sermon?"
There must be a reason for the change in the situation, and the root cause most likely lies with Hongjun.
Nuwa replied, "Those who destroy the witches will have the opportunity to become saints."
It turned out to be the case.
Hongjun had not yet accepted any disciples, nor had he publicly bestowed upon them the Primordial Purple Qi. Therefore, it was understandable that Yuanshi chose to join the alliance of Styx and others in order to obtain the opportunity to become a saint.
After all, it would be a pipe dream for him to destroy the witch clan on his own.
interesting.
Wuchen immediately sent a telepathic message to Dijiang, informing him of the matter.
As for how they plan to deal with it, that's none of his concern.
Among the three thousand mortals, aside from those like Di Jun, Styx, and Dong Wang Gong who intended to destroy the witches, the remaining outstanding figures are Laozi, Tongtian, Nuwa, and Jieyin.
Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, west Wangmu, Xihe and Changxi are not bad either.
Among them, the Dao of Zhen Yuanzi and Tongtian overlaps with the Dao that Wuchen comprehended.
Lao Tzu cultivated the Way of Yin and Yang, Nuwa cultivated creation, the Queen Mother of the West cultivated the Way of Pure Yin, and the sisters Xihe and Changxi cultivated the Way of Lunar Yin.
But Hongyun...
Wu Chen didn't believe that there could really be any good-natured people in such a primordial world.
If someone can be outmaneuvered by Hongjun, they must be extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Wuchen's gaze once again pierced through the void and looked towards Wuzhuang Temple.
That's right, Hongyun is not in his own dojo.
"I see."
The moment Wuchen saw the red cloud, he suddenly understood.
Its fundamental principle is cause and effect.
His "good guy" personality was just a facade; his true intention was to do good deeds and reap the rewards of good karma.
If all living beings in the primordial world owe him karma, then even the Heavenly Dao Saints would not dare to easily touch him, so Hongjun naturally had to eliminate this hidden danger.
The two guides ignored his death because the karma of becoming a saint was too great.
They can't afford to pay it back.
When a person dies, the debt is cleared. With Hongyun's death, this cause and effect naturally dissipated as well.
Wuchen couldn't help but shake his head.
Fate and cause and effect are the most mysterious things. Those who try to manipulate cause and effect and fate will eventually be manipulated by them. Hongyun is the best example.
Wuchen stood up, and a spatial passage opened up in front of him.
He stepped inside, and the surrounding environment changed abruptly.
Above the majestic sacred mountain, clouds and mist swirl, and the glow of the sunset shines brightly.
The three palaces stand side by side.
The sacred mountain is Kunlun Mountain, and the three palaces are Doushuai Palace, Yuxu Palace, and Biyou Palace.
"We have met the Daoist Master."
Laozi and Tongtian sensed Wuchen's arrival and hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Rise!"
Wuchen waved his sleeve to lift the two of them up and directly stated his purpose.
Lao Tzu immediately invited him into the Tushita Palace.
Perhaps out of respect, Tongtian also entered the Tushita Palace to accompany him.
Without further ado, Lao Tzu immediately revealed his laws without reservation, allowing Wuchen to comprehend them.
Meanwhile, the battle inside Buzhou Mountain officially began.
