Chapter 164 Yin Yang Discussion: Hongjun, Luo Hou, Yang Mei
When the Yin-Yang Taoist heard Zhen Yuanzi throw the question back at him, the usual smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a solemnity born of experience and a wisdom that understood the ways of the world.
He did not answer immediately, but instead picked up his teacup as well, his fingertips lightly tracing the rim, as if he were carefully considering his words, or perhaps recalling the rise and fall he had witnessed over the long years.
After a moment of silence, he slowly put down his teacup, his gaze calmly meeting that of Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun, his voice steady and clear: "Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, your insight is profound and your analysis is meticulous. I wholeheartedly agree."
As my fellow Daoist said, I am precisely the one who discerns the changing times, assesses the situation, adjusts my strategies, seeks to align with the will of Heaven, cultivate good relationships, and find a sway in the torrent of impending calamity, or perhaps to play a grand game of chess.”
He frankly admitted his position and intentions, and this frankness made him even more sincere.
He leaned forward slightly, his aura growing even deeper: "As for what you said, fellow Daoist, about those powerful Primordial Golden Immortals who are secretly plotting and waiting for their opportunity—"
"I am fortunate to have survived to this day as a remnant of chaos, and thus I have some knowledge of these individuals. I have some humble opinions that I wish to share with you two fellow Daoists, so that we may complement and verify each other."
He first cast his own light eastward, as if piercing through endless void, and saw the fairy mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.
"Firstly, there is Hongjun, the one from Jade Capital Mountain." The Yin-Yang Daoist's tone was complex and indescribable, containing both apprehension and a subtle sense of distance.
He held a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation, a remnant of a supreme treasure of chaos, containing the mysteries of the Three Thousand Great Daos. Now that the Heavenly Dao has manifested, the disc resonates more and more deeply with the Heavenly Dao, making it as perfect as a fish in water.
I once sensed from afar that his Daoist aura had begun to intertwine with the Heavenly Dao's pulse. He seemed to be interpreting the Heavenly Dao, and also preparing for a deeper fusion with it.
A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Yin-Yang Daoist: "His ambition is far from an ordinary Primordial Dao Fruit. I deduce that he intends to merge his body with the Heavenly Dao!"
Once he succeeds, he will no longer be an ordinary cultivator, but an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, or at least a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao in the prehistoric world, wielding the power of the prehistoric order, setting rules, and rewarding good and punishing evil.
Its path is to follow the will of Heaven and uphold the Way on behalf of Heaven. Its momentum is magnificent and the trend of the times is inevitable; countless cultivators will surely follow it in the future.
Those who follow the natural order may be favored by Heaven and blessed with good fortune; those who go against it may find it difficult to be accepted by Heaven and Earth.
This person is undoubtedly one of the "chess players" who will determine the future order of the primordial world, and may even be the most important one.
He clarified the essence of Hongjun's path and also hinted at the pressure that might come from the "Heavenly Order" in the future.
Then, he abruptly changed the subject, casting his gaze toward the dark western landscape, his tone becoming distinctly cold and wary.
"Secondly, there is Luo, who entrenched himself in the Western Demon Abyss." Mentioning this name, the Yin-Yang Daoist's aura turned slightly chilly.
"This fiend is an extreme among the Chaos Gods, born from destruction and chaos."
Now that the Heavenly Dao has established order, in his eyes it is not a constraint, but rather an excellent stage and a goal.
"He's excited about the establishment of order!" the Yin-Yang Taoist emphasized.
"Because the more perfect and rigorous the order, the purer and more powerful the chaos, despair and destruction that erupt when it is torn apart, trampled on and completely overturned!"
This is exactly the spiritual resources he has been longing for!
He secretly stirred up the evil energy of the three races, polluted the earth's veins, and sowed demonic seeds, all with the aim of triggering this great calamity.
With endless slaughter, resentment, and malevolent energy, he forged his Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, ultimately proving his Dao through killing, shattering this world, recreating chaos, or rather, forging his own "Demon Realm of Primordial Chaos!"
He looked at Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun with an extremely serious expression: "His nature is crazy and obsessive, and his formation is the number one killing formation in the primordial world. It cannot be broken by anyone but four people of the same level."
He is the biggest cancer in the primordial world, a key variable that stirs up the situation and accelerates the outbreak of the great calamity, and a life-or-death enemy of all those who intend to survive and develop under the order!
There is virtually no possibility of compromise with him; confrontation is the only option.
This analysis of Luo is filled with hostility and a sense of crisis, and it also points out a terrible opponent that cannot be avoided in the future.
Finally, his gaze became somewhat unfocused, as if he were searching for traces of some elusive dimension.
Thirdly, there's that raised eyebrow.
When Yang Mei was mentioned, the Yin-Yang Daoist's tone became somewhat subtle, carrying a hint of understanding as a fellow Chaos Demon God, as well as a touch of感慨 about his choice: "He has a similar origin to us, but he has taken a completely different path."
He was proficient in the Dao of Space, transcending worldly concerns and deeply hidden within the endless dimensions of space.
"The manifestation of Heaven's Way, with its net-like order, is tantamount to adding another invisible shackle to an existence like him who pursues ultimate freedom."
The Yin-Yang Daoist slowly said, "As far as I know, he did not choose to fight like Luo, nor did he choose to merge like Hongjun."
Instead, it is about exploring the so-called "otherworldly" places, or rather, seeking another form of transcendence in the dimensional gaps where the rules of Heaven have not yet fully penetrated or where there are gaps.
Their movements are more elusive than ever before, and their intentions are even more difficult to discern.
However, one thing is certain: his spatial abilities have reached a state of perfection, and his strength is unfathomable. Even if he does not actively plan like Hongjun and Luo Na, his very existence is a huge variable.
After analyzing these three most representative powerful figures, Yin Yang Daoist let out a long sigh, finished his cup of spiritual tea, and his gaze became firm and ardent again as he stared directly at Zhen Yuanzi.
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, Fellow Daoist Hongyun," he said in a deep voice, carrying an undeniable determination.
"The situation is now clear. Hongjun sits high in the heavens, waiting to merge with the Dao; his momentum is unstoppable."
Rahu lurks in the abyss, grinding his teeth and sucking blood; his calamity is inevitable. Yangmei remains aloof from worldly affairs, his whereabouts unpredictable. The rest, hidden in the shadows, either observe or harbor their own schemes.
A great war between the three races is about to begin; this marks the start of a great calamity and an opportunity to reshuffle the cards.
"Going it alone might offer temporary peace, but to find true transcendence amidst such overwhelming forces and perilous calamities is incredibly difficult!"
He uttered three difficult words in a row, each word as heavy as a mountain.
"Therefore, the ultimate purpose of my journey is to form an alliance with Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi and Fellow Daoist Hongyun!"
He finally revealed his ultimate goal, his tone incredibly solemn: "This is no ordinary interaction, but a true alliance of offense and defense, a shared destiny, a joint pursuit of the Great Dao, and a journey through calamity together!"
He leaned forward slightly, his gaze intense: "Fellow Daoist's Book of Earth can stabilize the earth's veins and control the foundation of the primordial world; Fellow Daoist's Five Elements Flag can generate chaos, with boundless potential."
Longevity Mountain, my fellow Daoist, is a rare pure land and barrier under the Heavenly Dao.
With the help of fellow Daoist Hongyun, their strength should not be underestimated.
My Daoist practice of Yin and Yang is adept at discerning opportunities and maintaining balance. In this complex situation, I may be able to identify gaps, fill in the gaps, and find an opening to enter.
Furthermore, the Tai Chi diagram can stabilize the universe, and the Yin-Yang sword can sever cause and effect.
"If we join forces, we can seize opportunities in the struggle between the three races and the battle of the great powers, gain a place under the Heavenly Dao, and even explore the supreme Dao of Primordial Chaos."
"Retreating would allow us to rely on Longevity Mountain and the Earth Book to secure a peaceful territory, protect our followers, observe the situation, and act when the time is right. In any case, this is far more prudent than facing this raging torrent alone!"
"This is not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather an inevitable choice made after careful consideration of the situation, in accordance with the Way of Heaven and my own principles. I wonder what you two fellow Daoists think?"
He once again proposed an alliance, but this time it was based on both sides fully demonstrating their strength, deeply analyzing the situation, and with an extremely clear understanding and shared interests.
Beneath the Four Symbols Banana Tree, the air seemed to freeze. Zhen Yuanzi's knuckles tapped lightly on the jade tabletop, producing a rhythmic sound, while countless thoughts raced through his deep eyes.
Hongyun also put away his playful expression, looked at Zhen Yuanzi, then at Yin Yang Daoren, his brows furrowed slightly, clearly weighing the enormous cause and effect and future behind this alliance.
An alliance that will profoundly influence the future landscape of the primordial world is awaiting final confirmation.
