Chapter 134: Hongyun Slashes His Own Cultivation

"What secret does this space truly hold?" Zhenyuanzi thought to himself as he looked toward Hongyun.

The Witch and Demon Clans were already at odds, and there was no need to even mention the relationship between Tian Yuan and the Demon Court or the Wu Clan.

Now, because of this space, the Demon Emperor and the Ancestral Witches were living in peace, and were even extremely respectful toward Tian Yuan.

And now, after his good brother Hongyun entered, he had actually encountered such a heaven-defying stroke of fortune.

That Houtu and the others respected Tian Yuan so much was naturally because they had also obtained great opportunities.

For a single space to encompass the good fortune of so many people was truly inconceivable.

Although he felt a bit of regret that he had no such fortune himself, at this moment, Zhenyuanzi's heart was filled with curiosity about this space.

The Mysterious Yellow Qi shrouding Hongyun grew increasingly dense, and Zhenyuanzi felt an inexplicable energy ripple out from his good brother's body.

The aura emitted by that energy made him feel extremely comfortable.

Zhenyuanzi furrowed his brows, a strange look in his eyes.

Houtu and the others on the side did not speak, only staring at Hongyun one by one.

Gonggong could not make heads or tails of it, but Nuwa and Fuxi both wore expressions of shock.

The Dao; Hongyun had found his own Dao.

The three of them understood in their hearts that they had underestimated Hongyun, who had given up his seat in the Purple Heaven Palace.

The fact that the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space reacted so strongly meant that Hongyun's importance to the Primordial World was self-evident.

Among the three of them, only Houtu had found her own Dao, but she had endured countless hardships to do so; Nuwa was still lost in the fog.

That Hongyun had found his own Dao the very first time he entered this space was simply too easy.

Houtu, who was surprised in her heart, froze for a moment, then immediately beamed with joy: "Dao Brother, it is the Humanity Will!"

Houtu finally perceived the will on Hongyun's body, her beautiful face full of joy.

After the Earthly Dao revived, Houtu had also been contemplating the Humanity and the Heavenly Dao.

Because of the fusion of wills, the might of Mount Buzhou could be increased at every moment, thereby strengthening Tian Yuan's power.

The Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Daos were inherently complementary; the revival of the Humanity Will could likewise accelerate the recovery of the Earthly Dao. It could also speed up the repair of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk; this surprise had come far too suddenly.

"Humanity Will!?"

Several exclamations rang out; Nuwa and Fuxi's eyes were filled with envy, while Zhenyuanzi was somewhat bewildered.

He only knew that the Dao Ancestor in the Purple Heaven Palace was a Heavenly Dao Saint; where had this Humanity suddenly popped out from?

His good brother, whom he had known for countless Great Eras, actually had such a background? Glancing at the expressions of Houtu and the others, Zhenyuanzi understood in his heart that this good brother of his clearly was not simple.

The surroundings were quiet, save for the faint sounds of roaring coming from the Earth Veins in the distance.

The might of Mount Buzhou slowly faded, and the Mysterious Yellow Qi shrouding Hongyun began to retract, though the will circling his body had strengthened quite a bit.

The Mysterious Yellow Qi submerged entirely into Hongyun's body, but then, with a soft "pop," Zhenyuanzi, who had rushed forward, was left stunned in place.

Gonggong and the others nearby were all startled, their faces filled with astonishment.

Hongyun, who had originally already slain one corpse, had now fallen back to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak stage.

Hongyun had obtained a heaven-defying stroke of fortune, yet not only did his strength not soar, he had actually dropped a realm? Zhenyuanzi was bewildered, staring blankly at the somewhat pale-faced Hongyun.

Gonggong and the others nearby all looked toward Tian Yuan, while only Houtu and Nuwa seemed to have realized something in their eyes.

Tian Yuan's expression was calm, with no surprise on his face at all.

He cupped his hands and congratulated him respectfully: "Congratulations to Dao Brother for finding your own Dao."

Having gathered the Humanity Will, how could Hongyun possibly continue to follow the Slaying the Three Corpses Method? The drop in his realm had long been within his expectations.

Hongyun slowly opened his eyes, looked down at himself, and his face was likewise overflowing with deep joy.

He stepped forward and performed a deep bow to Tian Yuan: "Many thanks, Dao Brother!"

With the manifestation of the Humanity Will, he had learned of many things, and he respected Tian Yuan even more in his heart.

All things and spirits in the Primordial World only thought of their own cultivation; only Tian Yuan kept the entire world in his heart.

This deep bow was not only for the fortune the other party had bestowed upon him, but also for Tian Yuan's contributions to the Primordial World.

"Let us work together from here on out!" Tian Yuan, having accepted the bow, was also very happy in his heart.

The Earthly Dao and the Humanity had both begun to revive; now, only the Heavenly Dao was missing.

If he had known Hongyun's effect would be this good, Tian Yuan would definitely have acted on him sooner.

Back then, Houtu had only opened the Earthly Dao after finding the Netherworld and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk. Who would have thought that as soon as Hongyun appeared, the Humanity Will would immediately rise? Tian Yuan guessed it might be related to the Witch and Demon Clans; all Hongyun had lacked was a catalyst.

The Wu Clan was related to the Netherworld, the Demon Court was linked to the Heavenly Dao, and they all belonged to the Humanity.

The rise of the Witch and Demon Clans should have been the beginning of the revival of the Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Daos, and the path toward the Primordial World's prosperity.

Alas, because of that person in the Purple Heaven Palace, the Witch and Demon Clans were plotted against, Mount Buzhou collapsed, and they were strangled in the cradle.

"Hongyun! What is going on here?" Meeting his good brother's gaze, Zhenyuanzi could no longer hold back.

Seeing Zhenyuanzi's concerned look, Hongyun smiled: "I intend to follow the Law of Dao."

Law Proving the Dao was the cultivation law left behind by the Pangu Great God, and it was the only path that led directly to the Great Dao.

Even if one succeeded in becoming a Saint through the Slaying the Three Corpses Method, one could not continue further, and more importantly, the Hongmeng Purple Qi was suspicious.

"This..." Zhenyuanzi was stunned in place.

So Hongyun had destroyed the corpse he had slain, which was why he had fallen from the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

What kind of reason could necessitate such a great sacrifice?

Zhenyuanzi opened his mouth, but did not know how to ask for details.

Seeing his good brother's confusion, Hongyun continued: "Zhenyuanzi, you should also slay your cultivation and recultivate; listen to me, you won't go wrong."

For these hundreds of thousands of years, he had been studying the Hongmeng Purple Qi and had not cultivated at all, yet somehow, he had inexplicably slain a corpse.

At the time, he had been very excited, but thinking about it carefully now, it was clearly suspicious.

This was also an important reason why Hongyun, after learning of the Law of Dao, had slashed away his cultivation without hesitation.

Zhenyuanzi's brows were tightly locked; he had already severed two corpses, so if he were to recultivate, he would need to consider it very carefully.

Hongyun did not urge his good friend, instead turning to look at Houtu and the others. "Hongyun greets you fellow Daoists!"

His gaze lingered slightly longer on Houtu, for he already knew the other party's identity.

The sermons at Purple Heaven Palace were entirely a scam; he had a Dao that belonged to himself.

Knowing that Hongyun's identity was not simple, Houtu and the others all returned the greeting warmly.

"Let's go! Let's go take a look at the Main Vein!" Withdrawing his gaze from the distance, Tian Yuan walked toward the Main Vein below.

In the sky in the distance, the red clouds no longer surged, and a nebula-shaped cave dwelling had vaguely formed.

The will of Mount Buzhou circled above it, and one could clearly sense a faint fluctuation of life.

Tian Yuan understood in his heart that Fire Cloud Cave, perhaps like the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, belonged to the unique living beings of the Primordial World.

As the Humanity Will gathered, Fire Cloud Cave, a place concerning Humanity Luck, was also about to awaken.

Seeing Tian Yuan walk forward, Hongyun immediately pulled Zhenyuanzi to follow.

Although he had learned quite a few things, he remained very curious about this space.

"Father Mountain!" In the Main Vein in the distance, Huluwa came running over.

Just a moment ago, he had thrown all the ordinary members of the Wu Clan he had captured into that Main Vein, but these members of the Wu Clan had absorbed quite a bit of the Chaos Demon God's blood essence and were currently locked in a fierce battle with the previous members of the Wu Clan.

Seeing Huluwa running over, Tian Yuan remembered that he had not yet released those few Ancestral Witches.

Thinking this, Tian Yuan opened his mouth and exhaled; suddenly, yellow clouds surged, and five figures tumbled out—they were exactly the captured Zhu Jiuyin and the others.

With a few strikes of magic power, the Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin and the others woke up groggily.

The moment they opened their eyes, several roars exploded.

"Tian Yuan! You damned stone man!"

"Roar! Kill, kill, kill!"

Amidst the roars, the five figures shot up and charged straight at Tian Yuan, each one filled with murderous intent.

Seeing the volatile Ancestral Witches, the expressions of Houtu and Gonggong stiffened slightly, especially Gonggong's.

From these Ancestral Witches, he saw his own reflection, and he also knew their ultimate fate.

The overbearing aura rushing toward them made Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun's expressions change slightly, but seeing that Tian Yuan and the others did not move, they also stood their ground.

In the astonished gazes of the two, they suddenly saw silver light flicker before their eyes, and figure after figure escaped.

They were actually hopping stone men, and without exception, they all radiated powerful fluctuations.
