Chapter 1022: The Despairing Sea of Blood

The Honghuang is boiling!

One must know, this is the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Back then, when the Dao Ancestor Hongjun distributed the Hongmeng Purple Qi in Zixiao Palace, there were seven strands in total; six were obtained by the Sages, all of whom attained the status of Sage.

Only Red Cloud Ancestor, before he had time to become a Sage, was plotted against by the Demon Race and fell.

His strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi also disappeared from that moment on.

If Red Cloud had not fallen back then, he might not have failed to become a Sage in the future.

The foundation of becoming a Sage is not something to be spoken of lightly.

……

The Sea of Blood.

"Hongmeng Purple Qi! Hongmeng Purple Qi!"

"Ah... Di Qi, you beast, this Ancestor will not rest until you are dead!"

The roar of Minghe Laozu echoed between Heaven and Earth.

The originally calm Sea of Blood suddenly surged with countless towering waves, crazily lashing against the coast.

Minghe Laozu gritted his teeth, appearing as if he had gone mad.

Back then, when Nuwa summoned the Human Race to become a Sage, he learned from her and created the Asura Race.

Later, when the Sages founded sects to become Sages, he followed suit and founded a sect.

But it was all a pity.

Although his cultivation had reached the peak, he had never taken that final step.

He had more than once cursed the Heavenly Dao for being unfair.

If that strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi back then had not been obtained by Red Cloud, and instead by him, perhaps he would have become a Sage long ago.

This appearance of the Hongmeng Purple Qi should have been an opportunity.

But under the Forbidden Air Array, he had no way to traverse the void; even if he rushed to the East Sea at the fastest speed, it would be more than ten years later, and the opportunity would have long since passed.

Missing the chance to attain the Sage position once again, how could he not be angry, how could he not hate!

………

Wuzhuang Temple.

"Hongmeng Purple Qi, it is actually the Hongmeng Purple Qi!"

Zhenyuanzi's expression shifted.

His mood was sorrowful as he thought of his old friend Red Cloud.

If Red Cloud had been able to listen to his advice back then, to stay in Wuzhuang Temple to cultivate in seclusion and not wander around aimlessly, perhaps he would not have been plotted against by Di Jun and the others, and perhaps he would have already become a Sage by now.

"What a pity!"

Zhenyuanzi sighed, and the roar of Minghe Laozu came from the horizon.

Yin Qi's Forbidden Air Array had sealed off the opportunities for all cultivators on the Primordial Continent.

Although he felt regret, it was only regret.

Firstly, he had already announced that he was closing the mountain and could not go out again, otherwise, it would be breaking his word.

Secondly, he also knew his own limits.

This appearance of the Hongmeng Purple Qi would surely trigger a chaotic battle among the Quasi-Sages; he was neither the strongest nor did he have allies, so even if he could arrive at the first moment, he would likely return empty-handed in the end.

……

West Kunlun.

"Sigh!"

The Queen Mother of the West stood with her hands behind her back, gazing into the distance toward the East Sea and sighing longingly.

She was equally unable to resist the temptation of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, but being trapped on the Primordial Continent, she could not go even if she wanted to.

She could only gaze at the ocean and sigh.

"Perhaps, I should move out of the Primordial Continent."

The Queen Mother of the West suddenly thought.

Although the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty did not infringe upon her in the slightest, under the Forbidden Air Array, she was effectively imprisoned in a jail.

Facing such a heaven-defying opportunity as the Hongmeng Purple Qi, she could only gaze at the ocean and sigh.

She was a Peak Quasi-Saint; with a single thought, she could traverse the Honghuang, but now she was trapped in West Kunlun—how stifling this was.

When one is under the eaves, one must bow one's head.

"After the Great Calamity passes, I will move out of the Primordial Continent."

In the end, the Queen Mother of the West made up her mind.

Although the Forbidden Air Array was an invisible prison, it was also a protective umbrella, shielding her from the influence of the Great Calamity.

……

Golden Turtle Island.

Biyou Palace.

Tongtian Jiaozhu, who was in the middle of preaching, stood up abruptly, turned to look toward the northeast, and then laughed out loud: "Hongmeng Purple Qi, it is actually the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Hahaha, the opportunity for my Jie Sect has arrived."

As he finished speaking, he stepped directly into the void. Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, and Yunxiao were all Quasi-Sages; they also sensed the Heavenly Secret manifested by the Hongmeng Purple Qi and were both shocked and delighted.

The Hongmeng Purple Qi had actually appeared, and it was not far away.

"Fellow Junior Sisters, let us go!"

Duobao Daoren cheered excitedly, and with a wave of his hand, he stepped into the void.

If the Hongmeng Purple Qi were obtained by his Master, then he would be the one with the most hope of obtaining it; after all, he was the eldest disciple and also had the highest cultivation among the five.

Although still at the Quasi-Saint Initial Stage, it is not very far from the Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage.

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

Jinling Shengmu and the others responded one after another.

Bixiao, Qiongxiao, the Seven Attendant Immortals, and others, although they also sensed the Heavenly Secret of the Hongmeng Purple Qi appearing in the world, they were all still Great Luo Golden Immortals; in the upcoming struggle, they were completely out of their depth, so it was better not to go and throw their lives away.

They looked toward the northeast, their gazes piercing through tens of trillions of miles, seeing a massive Immortal Dao manifesting from the void, with endless rosy clouds shooting into the sky, filling their field of vision.

Please... you.... add to your collection 6... 9... books....!

………

Taiqing Heaven.

Eight Views Palace.

Laozi suddenly opened his eyes, both shocked and suspicious: "Hongmeng Purple Qi, to actually appear at this time! Is the timing right, or is it a conspiracy?"

This thought merely flashed through Laozi's mind.

Without much hesitation, two figures walked out from his body, which were his Evil Corpse and Obsession Corpse, and then these two corpses merged together and plunged into the Chaos, rushing toward the Primordial World.

His Good Corpse was still on the way to escaping the Primordial Continent.

To fight for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he could only send out his own Evil Corpse and Obsession Corpse.

What a pity!

If the Three Corpses were one, he could not have lost so miserably in the battle of the North Sea back then.

……

Jiletian!

"Senior Brother, a great opportunity, a great opportunity, the Hongmeng Purple Qi has appeared!"

"Send out both the Evil Corpse and the Obsession Corpse!"

Jieyin and Zhunti were extremely excited; they also sent out their own Evil Corpse and Obsession Corpse.

……

Not only Yuanshi Tianzun, but Tongtian Jiaozhu also sent out his own Evil Corpse and Obsession Corpse; when the time came for the Three Corpses to merge, and holding the Immortal Execution Sword, even Di Qi could not be his opponent.

……

Wuzu Heaven.

Houtu's expression shifted, and in the end, she gritted her teeth and sent out a Clone.

The Hongmeng Purple Qi was useless to the Wu Clan, but if it could be obtained, it would be better than another faction giving birth to a Saint, because the Wu Clan was also "an enemy to the whole world" and had no allies.

No matter which faction gave birth to a Saint, it would be disadvantageous to the Wu Clan.

……

Almost simultaneously, the Demon Race, the Wu Clan, and the Long-Feng Qilin Sanzue, all the Quasi-Saints and Witch Ancestors set out, rushing toward the East Sea.

Becoming a Saint requires opportunity.

Just like back at Zixiao Palace, there were three thousand Red Dust Guests, but the Hongmeng Purple Qi ultimately chose Hongyun.

Although their cultivation was not high, perhaps this time would be the opportunity.

………

East Sea.

Yingzhou Island.

Tongtian Jiaozhu arrived first, followed by Duobao Daoren and the other four, and immediately after, Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti, Houtu, the Wu and Demon, the Long-Feng Qilin, and other Quasi-Saints arrived almost at the same time.

In the void, there were densely packed people, thirty or forty in total.

Of course, Yin Qi also arrived, but it was only his Good Corpse.

Besides him, there were the Three Sovereigns, Nuwa, and Changxi, five people in total, all of whom were Peak Quasi-Saints.

With the Hongmeng Purple Qi appearing, if he did not show up for such an important opportunity, and the Hongmeng Purple Qi subsequently disappeared for no reason, everyone would definitely suspect him first.

Although it is said that enemies are extra jealous when they meet.

Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti stared coldly at the six people including Yin Qi, but obviously, this was not the time to take action; the Hongmeng Purple Qi was more important.

Everyone withdrew their gazes one after another and looked toward Yingzhou Island.

Hum hum!

It could be seen that muffled sounds were coming from time to time from the Innate Great Array of Yingzhou Island.

This was someone breaking the array!

"Someone is breaking into the array! No wonder Yingzhou Island manifested!"

"Haotian, it must be Haotian. If it weren't for him, he and Yaochi couldn't have failed to arrive by now."

"What are we waiting for, get on the island!"
