Chapter 143: Humanity's Supreme Treasure: The Auspicious Clouds of the Heavens

A figure descended from the air in the distance; it was Houtu.

"Fellow Daoist, did you force your way into the Demon Court?" Houtu looked behind Tian Yuan, her face filled with astonishment.

Clearly, Houtu had already seen the ten Crown Princes of the Demon Court.

Although these Little Golden Crows appeared suddenly, one could guess their origins just by thinking about it.

Houtu was naturally very certain of Tian Yuan's strength, but the Demon Court was no ordinary place.

The two Demon Emperors possessed profound cultivation, Donghuang Taiyi even wielded an Innate Supreme Treasure, and more importantly, the Thirty-Three Heavens were the Demon Court's base camp, which surely lacked no protection from an Innate Array.

An Innate Array could not be countered by individual manpower alone; though Tian Yuan was strong, it was impossible for him to break into the Demon Court alone.

Tian Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No, I was lucky. I ran into these ten little fellows sneaking out in the East Sea and just caught them on the way back."

The ten Little Golden Crows had stirred the Sun Star Will, so it was expected that Houtu would notice.

Upon hearing this, Houtu's expression froze, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.

The ten Little Golden Crows were not high in cultivation; how could Di Jun and Taiyi possibly let them sneak out?

Although Houtu was suspicious, she did not dwell on it.

She had already seen the changes in the firmament; regardless of the reason, as long as it was beneficial to the Primordial World, it was fine.

She also knew the situation in the Southern Land; these three-legged Golden Crows were the most suitable candidates for cleaning it up.

"By the way, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun want to see you; they intend to return to the Primordial World," Houtu stated the purpose of her visit.

Although she had communicated with the Earthly Dao Will and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk had begun to repair, only Tian Yuan could carry people in and out.

Tian Yuan nodded and looked into the distance, where two figures were rushing over; it was indeed Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun, whom he had not seen for some time.

Ten thousand years had passed, and Zhenyuanzi had likewise severed his own cultivation; both were now at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Early-Stage.

Although their cultivation was a bit weaker, they had both embarked on the path of Hunyuan.

"Fellow Daoist!" Seeing Tian Yuan, both greeted him warmly.

Having stayed in this space for such a long time, they had thoroughly understood it, and undoubtedly, their respect for Tian Yuan had grown even deeper.

The other party had bestowed great kindness not only upon them but upon the entire Primordial World.

"You two have been cultivating in peace here, why do you wish to leave?" Tian Yuan's gaze turned toward Hongyun.

Tian Yuan often sensed Kunpeng's aura flashing and disappearing around Mount Buzhou; the other party was certainly still coveting Hongyun's Hongmeng Purple Qi.

It was precisely because of the Hongmeng Purple Qi that Hongyun was ambushed and killed by Kunpeng, along with Taiyi and the others.

Now that Hongyun had caused the Humanity Will to revive, Tian Yuan did not want him to meet with any accidents.

It was just that the speed at which the Humanity Will had been recovering over these years left Tian Yuan somewhat depressed.

To say nothing else, the Fire Cloud Cave outlined in the firmament still had not made much progress.

It remained as it was when Hongyun first entered: shrouded in red clouds, with the outline of a cave, yet not fully manifested.

"It has been over ten thousand years since we came out, and there are still matters in the temple that need to be attended to," Zhenyuanzi cupped his hands and replied softly.

Although his cultivation had dropped compared to when he arrived, Zhenyuanzi was still very happy.

He had realized his own Dao and also understood his mission somewhat.

Hongyun, beside him, added, "I have a feeling in my heart that there is a great opportunity for me in the Primordial World, so I wish to go out and wander."

Tian Yuan's expression froze, and he looked at Hongyun strangely.

Opportunity?

Now that Hongyun had communicated with the Humanity Will, he likely would not be easily deceived.

It was just that he had never heard of Hongyun having any other opportunities.

The Innate Gourd Vine on Mount Buzhou had already taken human form, and this fellow had no decent treasures to show for himself.

However, now that his status was different, perhaps he really did have other good fortune, who could say.

Tian Yuan nodded and said, "I have observed Kunpeng appearing around Mount Buzhou from time to time; Fellow Daoist must be careful."

That fellow's speed was too fast, and he was very cautious; every time he sensed his Divine Sense, he would immediately use his divine abilities to flee.

Even with Tian Yuan's strength, he could not easily capture him.

These Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace, although not particularly strong in combat, had many ways to save their lives. Not to mention someone like Kunpeng, who had survived several Great Calamities, he was bound to be even more cautious.

Hearing Tian Yuan's words, Zhenyuanzi also said seriously, "Hongyun, you must not be careless about this. If it were just Kunpeng alone, it would be one thing, but if it draws Di Jun and Taiyi to help, it will be troublesome."

He had already spoken to Hongyun many times about the matter of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, but this good friend had never taken it to heart.

Previously, the Demon Emperors of the Demon Court might not have acted directly, but today was different from the past.

Tian Yuan had a rift with the Demon Court and had captured many of the Demon Race, and since the two of them were close to Tian Yuan, there was no guarantee the Demon Emperors would not act.

Zhenyuanzi was still very wary of the power of the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell.

Hongyun waved his hand, looking indifferent as he said, "Rest assured, having gathered the Humanity Will, I dare not say anything else, but this method of concealing my tracks is quite remarkable."

Although Humanity had only just revived and its will was very thin, he could still mobilize it.

All things and all spirits in the Primordial World belonged to Humanity; with the gathering of the Humanity Will, it would not be so simple for ordinary people to find him.

Moreover, his current cultivation was not bad; at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal stage, he could be considered quite decent in the Primordial World.

Tian Yuan did not doubt Hongyun's confidence.

Just like himself, standing invincible on Mount Buzhou was because he could mobilize the Mount Buzhou Will.

Since Hongyun had communicated with the Humanity Will, he must have mastered similar means.

In terms of combat, he might not be exceptionally strong, but protecting himself in the Primordial World was absolutely no problem; he was just reminding the other party. Only Zhenyuanzi kept nagging on the side, hoping Hongyun would not be careless.

Under Hongyun's depressed gaze, the two disappeared into the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.

"Zhenyuanzi, I'm leaving first!" As soon as he appeared, Hongyun said this, and his figure immediately vanished.

This good friend was great in every way, except that sometimes he would nag endlessly.

But since Zhenyuanzi was the one most to his liking, Hongyun could do nothing about it and decided it was best to leave first.

"Hong—" Zhenyuanzi reached out a hand, but where could the figure of Hongyun still be? After sensing carefully for a moment, he could not help but look slightly startled.

Hongyun had only just left, yet he could no longer feel any fluctuations from the other party, nor were there any traces left behind in the area.

Feeling slightly startled in his heart, Zhenyuanzi could not help but sigh softly: "The Heaven Earth and Man Three Daos are truly so extraordinary!"

This good friend of his, Hongyun, had indeed not lied to him; the other party's methods for concealing their form were truly remarkable.

Glancing at the direction in which Hongyun had departed, Zhenyuanzi turned and hurried toward Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain.

At the foot of Mount Buzhou, Hongyun revealed his form, his eyes filled with wonder: "Wherever the Humanity Will gathers, my form is present; the Humanity Lord is truly something to look forward to!"

At this very moment, Hongyun finally discovered that the Great Desolate land was the place most suited for his cultivation.

Standing in the air at this moment, dense and weak wills between heaven and earth gathered and enveloped him.

Almost in an instant, he gained much enlightenment regarding the laws, and he felt that it would not take long before he could break through again.

"Hoo!"

Taking a deep breath, Hongyun looked toward the due east: "My opportunity lies in this direction; I hope it does not disappoint me."

With the help of Tian Yuan, he had obtained a great stroke of fortune in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, but Hongyun still suffered from not having a powerful magic treasure.

As a dignified Hunyuan Golden Immortal and Humanity Lord, not having a single presentable magic treasure was truly too embarrassing.

He did not covet an Innate Supreme Treasure or anything of the sort; having something to keep up appearances would suffice.

Thinking this, Hongyun leaped up and quickly fled toward that direction.

"Hongyun! Hongyun! This damn fellow has finally appeared." In the void in the distance, Kunpeng stared fixedly at that figure, his eyes filled with irrepressible excitement.

He saw Hongyun's realm, which was only at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, and Kunpeng felt very happy in his heart.

With this level of cultivation, let alone inviting Di Jun and Taiyi to assist, even he alone could handle it.

However, just in case, Kunpeng still gently crushed the signal mark left by the Demon Emperor.

Opportunities must not be missed; once he failed, it might not be so easy to find him again.

Moreover, having earlier led the Demon Race down to the Great Desolate land, he was already completely tied to the Demon Court's war chariot; there was no reason not to use free help.

Sweeping a glance at Mount Buzhou in the distance, Kunpeng slowly followed behind.

But the next second, Kunpeng's expression froze, and he immediately jumped out from the void.

"What is going on? How is he gone without a trace?" Standing where Hongyun had disappeared, Kunpeng's expression was gloomy.

He had already severed two corpses, and his realm was still above Hongyun's; trailing Hongyun should have been easy.

Who would have thought that having only just left the foot of Mount Buzhou, the other party's figure would already be gone.

With astonishment on his face, Kunpeng hurriedly searched the surroundings carefully, yet he did not find a single trace.

Although a Quasi-Saint is incomparably powerful and traversing the void is a common occurrence, one can still find clues between those of the same realm.

At present, Hongyun's realm was still below his, so it was impossible for there to be no traces at all.

Hundreds of millions of miles away, Hongyun stood before a cave dwelling, his expression extremely strange.

Following that call in his heart, he had hurried all the way here, never expecting to return to his own home.

This ordinary-looking cave dwelling before him was his own dojo, Fire Cloud Cave.

His opportunity was in his own home?

"Strange! Strange!" Scratching his head, Hongyun frowned, also unable to make sense of the situation.

Unable to figure it out, he plunged straight in.

Upon entering the cave dwelling, it was already another world, with rolling red clouds surging and emitting an inexplicable, strange fragrance.

Looking carefully, one could see immortal cranes dancing, spiritual apes playing, Spiritual Roots everywhere, and auspicious clouds drifting overhead.

Hongyun paid no heed, his gaze fixed on the deepest part of Fire Cloud Cave, and he flew off toward it.

As he stepped into the cave dwelling, that call in his heart became even more intense.

From afar, he caught sight of his place of quiet cultivation: a massive cloud bed.

Only, above the cloud bed that had originally been empty, Mysterious Yellow Qi was intertwined, and one could vaguely see an object within it.

"There really is a treasure!" Hongyun's face was filled with great joy; he flew down and reached out to grab it.

Who would have thought that his outstretched right hand would pass right through it without any obstruction.

Even though it was right before his eyes, he could not touch it.

Startled for a moment, a strange look flashed in Hongyun's eyes, and immediately a weak will surrounded his right hand.

This time, he touched the Mysterious Yellow Qi, and his right hand reached inside.

At the same time, a piece of information arrived: Humanity Supreme Treasure - All-Heaven Celebration Cloud!
