Chapter 1250

Once Ancestor Hongjun learns that Luo Fu has already left the Journey to the West World, the constraints on Ancestor Hongjun will be reduced by at least half.

Even with the constraints of Earth Dao and Human Dao, Ancestor Hongjun can still allocate part of his spirit to continue interfering in the Journey to the West World.

Without Luo Fu, the few Saints alone cannot resist Ancestor Hongjun.

No, not several—accurately speaking, only one.

Before Ancestor Hongjun, the Heaven Dao Saints are utterly useless.

The only one who can make a difference is Pingxin Niangniang, the Earth Dao Saint.

Even Pingxin Niangniang alone cannot resist Ancestor Hongjun—not to mention that even if Ancestor Hongjun does not act personally, merely sending the Twelve Celestial Branches would be enough to crush her.

Moreover, once Luo Fu immediately leaves the Journey to the West World, the Five Directional Sacred Beasts will also break free.

With the Five Directional Sacred Beasts and the Twelve Celestial Branches as his backing, even if Ancestor Hongjun is restrained by Earth Dao and Human Dao and temporarily cannot act personally, he can still continue to dominate the Journey to the West World.

Pingxin Niangniang's concern is genuine.

In her view, the Journey to the West World still needs Luo Fu.

"Don't worry—I'll leave behind a projection to continue guarding the Chaos Void; this projection is enough to pass as real."

Luo Fu spoke to soothe her.

Since he planned to leave, he had naturally considered how to restrain Ancestor Hongjun; he did not wish for the Journey to the West World to be reconquered by Ancestor Hongjun shortly after his departure.

Leaving behind a projection in the Chaos Void was Luo Fu's first contingency.

As previously mentioned, to avoid dimensional interference, Luo Fu could only leave behind an ordinary projection.

An ordinary projection, beyond its ability to pass as real and deceive Ancestor Hongjun into believing he still resides in the Chaos Void, has no other function.

In combat power, Luo Fu's ordinary projection is merely equivalent to a Hunyuan Daoluoxian.

"Ancestor Hongjun's spirit is fully bound by Human Dao; he has no spare capacity to determine whether my projection is real or fake. In that case, for at least the next few thousand years, Ancestor Hongjun will remain passive."

To prevent Pingxin Niangniang from continuing to worry, Luo Fu explained.

Currently, what binds Ancestor Hongjun's spirit is not merely the Human Dao, but also the karmic curse power of billions of sentient beings.

Before the karmic curse power is fully suppressed, Ancestor Hongjun will have little spare capacity to interfere in the Journey to the West World.

"Several thousand years is enough time for the few Saints to break through and become Hunyuan Daoluoxian. Once all the Saints become Hunyuan Daoluoxian, even with Ancestor Hongjun bound by Human Dao, you alone will be enough to counter him—even if Ancestor Hongjun discovers I have left the Journey to the West World, the balance will not be shattered."

Assisting the few Saints to break through and become Hunyuan Daoluoxian within the coming millennia, so they can restrain Ancestor Hongjun, is Luo Fu's second contingency.

This is also why Luo Fu directly bestowed his various lineages upon the few Saints.

More than half of Ancestor Hongjun's spirit is bound by Human Dao.

Protected by Earth Dao and Human Dao, even if Ancestor Hongjun can allocate part of his spirit, it will be difficult for him to harm the few Saints.

After becoming Hunyuan Daoluoxian, with the Saints' innate talent and insight, even if they cannot suppress the Twelve Celestial Branches, they can at least restrain them when acting together.

Thus, before Human Dao breaks free, even if Ancestor Hongjun realizes Luo Fu has left the Journey to the West World, he will find it difficult to reclaim dominion over the entire Primordial World.

The balance of the Primordial World can still be maintained.

As for after Human Dao breaks free, it becomes even simpler.

Once Human Dao breaks free, the true Master of Human Dao will inevitably be born.

With both the Master of Human Dao and the Master of Earth Dao acting together, even if Ancestor Hongjun relies on Heaven Dao, he will find it difficult to suppress them while within the Primordial World.

After all, in terms of power, Earth Dao and Human Dao united can firmly suppress Heaven Dao.

Moreover, for the coming period, without Ancestor Hongjun's suppression, and with the lineages bestowed by Luo Fu, the myriad spirits of the Primordial World will develop rapidly.

The power of the myriad spirits of the Primordial World is the power of Human Dao.

As the myriad spirits of the Primordial World develop, Human Dao will grow stronger.

Thus, the suppression exerted by Earth Dao and Human Dao over Heaven Dao will intensify.

Even with Ancestor Hongjun's aid, Heaven Dao can only barely resist Earth Dao and Human Dao.

At that time, the situation in the Journey to the West World will still remain balanced.

In a certain sense, from the moment Ancestor Hongjun retreated into the Primordial World, the future of the Primordial World was already decided.

Of course, this situation is not necessarily bad for Ancestor Hongjun.

Without needing to suppress Earth Dao and Human Dao, Ancestor Hongjun will have more spirit to consume Heaven Dao.

Perhaps Ancestor Hongjun's speed of consuming Heaven Dao will even accelerate considerably.

Yet even if Ancestor Hongjun consumes Heaven Dao, he will still find it difficult to achieve his goal of becoming the Master of the Primordial World.

Precisely because he saw this clearly, Luo Fu can leave the Journey to the West World with such peace of mind.

"What if something unexpected happens? We do not know whether Ancestor Hongjun still has hidden cards—if something unexpected occurs, even if the few Saints become Hunyuan Daoluoxian, they will still struggle to resist Ancestor Hongjun."

Pingxin Niangniang deeply trusted Luo Fu's judgment, yet she still harbored some worries; Ancestor Hongjun had always seemed unfathomable.

It was hard to guarantee Ancestor Hongjun had no hidden cards left.

These hidden cards might have no effect on Luo Fu, a Tian Dao-level powerhouse, which is why Ancestor Hongjun never used them.

What has no effect on Luo Fu does not mean it has no effect on the few Saints.

The few Saints, even after breaking through to become Hunyuan Daoluoxian, are merely ordinary Hunyuan Daoluoxian; to a Tian Dao-level powerhouse, ordinary Hunyuan Daoluoxian are but ants.

"You need not worry about this—if any unexpected event occurs, my projection will directly notify me; even if my projection cannot notify me, you can still have Sun Wukong notify me."

Hearing Pingxin Niangniang's concern, Luo Fu smiled slightly and reassured her again.

Luo Fu had already considered this possibility.

Given Ancestor Hongjun's decades of cultivation in the Primordial World, he surely has more hidden cards than just the Twelve Celestial Branches.

The reason he has not revealed these hidden cards, as Pingxin Niangniang said, is very likely because Ancestor Hongjun believes they cannot harm Luo Fu.

Ancestor Hongjun's hidden cards are almost all designed for Hunyuan Daoluoxian.
