Chapter 2043: Yaochi Was Disappointed!

Yaochi had no idea what Haotian was thinking.

It's already impressive that the Taiji Diagram can be used; if the Creation Jade Disc can't be used anymore, his fracture will only grow worse—that's why Yaochi must use the Creation Jade Disc.

That flash of light just now made Yaochi sense grave danger, and also a familiar aura.

"Could Ancestor Hongjun have emerged from seclusion?"

Yaochi felt nothing, but this time he truly spotted that flash of light.

And the circumstances of this flash differed slightly from before.

Haotian and Yaochi exchanged a glance, then rushed forward, trying to grasp something—but they grasped nothing.

"No!"

"If our master had truly emerged, he would have gone straight to the Purple Cloud Palace first—the Creation Jade Disc hasn't seen a single person appear…"

"Then why?"

"There's only one explanation: the Primordial Purple Qi."

Haotian recalled what happened after the last lecture in the Purple Cloud Palace—Hong Yun indeed possessed a sliver of Primordial Purple Qi, and it had yet to activate.

That is, this sliver of Primordial Purple Qi had not yet fulfilled its intended function.

Perhaps Hong Yun had developed it on his own, even unlocking effects he himself didn't know about.

"It's probably Elder Hong Yun."

"That must be it." After thinking of this, Yaochi felt deeply disappointed.

If Ancestor Hongjun had truly appeared, news of it should have reached them sooner; and with the demonic clans running rampant, someone should have stepped forward to quell them.

They should be able to use the Taiji Diagram.

In fact, they should have figured out the matter of Penglai Immortal Island from the start.

Unless the issue with Penglai Immortal Island wasn't about these things at all—if it truly were connected, Penglai's location would have changed by now.

Taishang Laojun also knew.

In short, since Taishang Laojun was willing to act this way, they would surely change their minds.

The outcome was predictable.

After leveraging these events, Taishang Laojun also used their abilities.

"Fine. If we've thought it through, our next strategy will work—and Taishang Laojun clearly knew all this, so we still need to confirm it."

Yaochi no longer dwelled on it; he clearly understood how these events were connected.

If Haotian truly intends to act, he must repair the Taiji Diagram—and if the Creation Jade Disc could be repaired while in their hands, they should have devised a proper plan long ago.

The Creation Jade Disc is probably different from the Book of Heavenly Fate.

"Who could have prompted Luo Fu Shengren to act? We still haven't seen him."

"Perhaps in this Honghuang, Luo Fu Shengren hasn't deemed anything worthy of his attention."

"Maybe."

Even if they had truly acted that way back then, they now lack the power to resolve it—and there's no need to devise a plan if they can't even make contact now.

The internal situation of Honghuang cannot be described in just a few words.

Lu Ya Dao Ren also understood clearly.

Nüwa, recalling Lu Ya Dao Ren's earlier warning, fell silent.

"It seems Lu Ya Dao Ren saw this coming from the start—but our demonic clans didn't take it seriously, which is why such absurd events occurred."

"Little sister, this isn't our fault. The demonic clans may have been manipulated—we mustn't speak rashly before we've fully investigated."
