Chapter 27

Who is Rahu? He stands among the foremost tier of the wilderness; his cultivation is such that even compared to the chiefs of the Primordial Three Clans, he is not lacking at all!

His astonishing talent is brilliant; he is the first and only one who, relying on his own means, refined the Primordial Supreme Treasure, the Executioner Immortal Sword Formation!

In this era when the western ley lines have not yet been detonated, by relying on one person's power to occupy the entire western domain, one can see how mighty Rahu is!

His one condition is still quite valuable; moreover, Zhu Qingyun himself is very interested in this wilderness's premier killing formation, the Executioner Immortal Sword Formation.

After all, the Myriad Heavens Unfolding Great Formation he excels at focuses on defense; he indeed needs to learn a great formation primarily for slaughter and combat!

I happen to want to lecture on the Great Dao with my disciple; fellow Daoist, if you are interested, why not listen together?

Hongjun and Rahu are mortal enemies; the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Not to mention that Rahu's proposed conditions are quite generous, Zhu Qingyun, having already formed a deadly feud with Hongjun, naturally is also willing to befriend Rahu.

Fellow Daoist, could you wait a few days for me? I will rush to your Daoist sanctuary as soon as possible!

Rahu, however, is impatient; after speaking, he did not wait for Zhu Qingyun's response, but hung up the transmission spirit treasure and headed for the Myriad Heavens Island.

Zhu Qingyun: "……"

Although the transmission spirit treasure is miraculous, after all it is merely the application of the Qiankun Great Dao infused with a bit of spatial law; Rahu worries it cannot be used to transmit the Dao's essence, and it would be better to listen to the Dao in person.

But Rahu also guessed correctly; however, it is merely a middle-grade Primordial spirit treasure—how could it bear the transmission of the Great Dao?

The Dao must not be lightly transmitted; it is not merely idle talk.

Zhu Qingyun, Yin and Yang, and the others exchanged bewildered glances, unable to fathom what scheme Rahu was up to.

Third Brother, Rahu is the reincarnation of the Destroyer Devil God; if he comes with some intention, what then?

Qiankun harbors some prejudice against Rahu; the Destroyer Devil God does not seem like a good person.

Second Brother, there is no need to worry; this is the Myriad Heavens Island—let alone Rahu, even if he and Hongjun came together to attack, they could not hope to break through my great formation!

Zhu Qingyun acknowledges the defensive power of the Myriad Heavens Unfolding Great Formation; had he not been two levels inferior to Hongjun earlier, even being just one level lower he would have confidence in standing invincible by relying on it! The great formation on the Myriad Heavens Island is innate, formed from Chaos fragments and the three-light divine water of an entire lake as its core; its defensive power cannot be compared to what he himself has set up.

Third Brother, since it is thus, I can rest assured; nevertheless, I must still be extra cautious.

Qiankun added another remark, and then said no more.

However, Rahu set out from Mount Sumeru in the west, charging straight ahead, and soon passed through the domain of Kunlun Mountain.

Hmm, Hongjun?!

In a casual glance, Rahu noticed that a certain secret realm of Kunlun Mountain had burst open a huge fissure, through which Hongjun's figure could be seen.

Within this secret realm, pure qi permeated, and the ruptured fissure, under the influence of the pure qi, was slowly being repaired.

Only then did one see Hongjun at that moment brandishing the Pangu Banner, slashing toward the three indistinctly merging masses of pure qi source enveloped by a Xuanhuang Treasure Pagoda.

The Xuanhuang Treasure Pagoda trembled under the fierce assault of the Pangu Banner, and the three masses of pure qi source slightly separated under this influence.

Wisps of almost imperceptible pure qi source scattered down, which Hongjun gathered up.

If Zhu Qingyun were present, he could recognize these three masses of pure qi source as Supreme Purity, Jade Purity, and Upper Purity! "Rahu, why have you come to my Kunlun?"

Hongjun naturally also noticed Rahu; his heart startled, he had no time to gather the remaining wisps of pure qi source, and hastily fled the secret realm, throwing out countless Primordial spirit treasures while warily eyeing Rahu before him. Rahu said nothing, a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes, and he immediately unleashed the World-Annihilating Black Lotus, smashing it toward Hongjun.

Hongjun's expression darkened, he blocked the strike of the World-Annihilating Black Lotus, then straightforwardly transformed into a beam of immortal light and fled.

Rahu watched the fleeing Hongjun but did not wish to pursue, for he lacked confidence in being able to kill Hongjun.

He had also witnessed the earlier three-way battle between Hongjun, Zhu Qingyun, and himself; that strange worldly power he still has not grasped, and this is also why he seeks to ask Zhu Qingyun about the Dao.

Rahu flashed his form and arrived before the Three Pure Ones' secret realm; just as he was about to enter along the fissure, he felt a powerful resistance coming.

Rahu, just about to force his way through the resistance and enter, saw a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering axe light flash from his spiritual light, which immediately frightened him into halting his movement.

Is this secret realm related to Pangu?

Although Rahu did not know that the Three Pure Ones are transformations of Pangu's primordial spirit, he could sense the immense terror within! "How could Hongjun enter there? Could it be the Pangu Banner?"

In this era when Pangu's creation of heaven and his demise are but two Great Calamities ago, only Pangu himself could break the means he left behind.

Forget it; first let us go to the Myriad Heavens Island to inquire about the Dao. Once we find a way to counter Hongjun's strange means, we will stir the three clans into a decisive battle, settle Hongjun, and then my Dao can be accomplished!

Rahu already has a clue about the path to proving the Dao: it is to provoke the three clans' killing calamity; after the three clans fall, slaying Hongjun will allow him to gather the boundless fortune of the wilderness and prove the Dao as a Grand Unity Great Luo! Although the wilderness still has the two great divine adepts Yin and Yang and Yang Mei who could become his rivals in proving the Dao, relying on the means he has laid out in the western domain, he is confident that he, Rahu, will surely be the ultimate victor! "Soon, the three clans' decisive battle is not far off!"

Rahu muttered to himself, over these tens of thousands of years, his covert stirring has deepened the enmity among the three clans ever more! And after the three clans decline, his greatest rival in proving the Dao will be none other than Hongjun!

Immediately, Rahu ceased further thought, transformed into a streak of black mystic light, and rushed swiftly to the Eastern Sea! "Fellow Daoist Tian Yun, if you are present, this humble Daoist Yang Mei comes to pay a visit!"

After waiting patiently for a moment, unexpectedly Rahu did not arrive; instead, Yang Mei came to pay a visit.

Zhu Qingyun wondered why Yang Mei would come here, but nevertheless he opened the great formation of the Myriad Heavens Island and welcomed Yang Mei inside.

Fellow Daoist, what business brings you to seek me? You actually chose to come on the very same day as Fellow Daoist Rahu.

After welcoming Daoist Yang Mei into the Myriad Heavens Island, Zhu Qingyun then got straight to the point and asked.

Oh? Fellow Daoist Rahu also wishes to come? That is quite a coincidence; this humble Daoist originally intended to pay a visit to the fellow Daoist and then go west to seek Fellow Daoist Rahu—why not we all fellow Daoists wait together, and then I will recount my purpose together with everyone?

As for Yang Mei, Zhu Qingyun remains quite curious.

According to the original course of fate, during the struggle between Dao and demon, everyone—including my elder brother—was defeated at the hands of Hongjun.

Only Yang Mei managed to withdraw, and astonishingly was able to prove the Dao as a Grand Unity Great Luo Golden Immortal amidst Chaos!

What is even more terrifying is that a minor rumor claims Hongjun once battled Yang Mei in Chaos and actually came out slightly worse! Of course, that refers to the Hongjun of the original historical timeline; the Hongjun of the present wilderness, however, seems somewhat strange.

At the very least, although the Hongjun of the original historical timeline may not know whether he treads the path of the world, he absolutely could not master the power of the Declining Dharma!

At present, the wilderness is precisely a time when the world as a whole is ascending; in any case, there are no conditions for the birth of the Declining Dharma.
