Chapter 1074: The Bewildered Haotian

Laozi devouring Yuanshi and Tongtian came as a massive shock to Haotian and Yaochi.

They could never have imagined that Laozi, who advocated for "quietude and non-action," would be so ruthless and unscrupulous.

After a long while, Haotian finally calmed his emotions and hurriedly said, "Master, Laozi devouring Yuanshi and Tongtian is simply worse than a beast. Will you not take action to punish him?"

"Why should I punish him?"

Hongjun said indifferently, "The coexistence of the Three Pure Ones is the Dao, and Laozi reenacting Pangu is also the Dao. As long as he does not threaten the safety of the Primordial World, I have no reason to intervene."

He is the Heavenly Dao; in his eyes, there is no right or wrong, no good or evil.

Haotian and Yaochi exchanged a glance, a look of hidden worry flashing in their eyes.

With Laozi having recreated the Pangu Primordial Spirit, his cultivation must have skyrocketed.

Even if he does not possess the combat power of Pangu in his prime, fifty or sixty percent should be no problem.

How terrifying is fifty or sixty percent of Pangu's combat power!

Could Di Qi be a match for Laozi?

Why would Laozi risk universal condemnation to devour Yuanshi and Tongtian?

It was surely because he was forced into it by Di Qi.

Therefore, he will certainly seek trouble with Di Qi at the first opportunity.

Hongjun seemed to know what Haotian and Yaochi were worried about and said indifferently again, "You need not worry about Di Qi. His cultivation is unfathomable; even I would not dare to lightly claim I could defeat him."

"Although Laozi has recreated the Pangu Primordial Spirit and possesses fifty or sixty percent of Pangu's combat power,"

"he is still far behind Di Qi."

"What!"

Haotian and Yaochi exclaimed, their eyes widening.

What had they just heard!

Master actually said that even he would not dare to lightly claim he could defeat Di Qi!

How could this be possible!

Their teacher has already achieved Joining the Dao and is essentially equivalent to the Heavenly Dao.

Although they found it hard to believe, they trusted Hongjun more and knew that Hongjun could not be lying to them.

Thinking of this, their hearts were in turmoil like a raging sea.

Di Qi is actually this strong!

Hongjun, never failing to shock, continued, "In fact, it is not just Di Qi and Nuwa; Fuxi, Shennong, the Yellow Emperor, Changxi, Longji, and Di Qi's five sons have all become saints."

"Di Qi seems to have mastered some kind of Secret Technique that can help others become saints."

"If I had not been paying close attention to the Yin Shang during this time, I fear I would not have discovered that they had already become saints."

Although he is the Heavenly Dao and almost omniscient and omnipotent,

it is only 'almost.'

Just like when Yin Qi first became a saint, he had not noticed it.

"What!"

At this, Haotian and Yaochi were even more shocked.

They stood up abruptly.

The Three Sovereigns, Changxi, Longji, and Di Qi's five sons had all actually become saints!

How could this be possible!

These are ten saints!

Back when Master preached in Zixiao Palace and took disciples, only six people became saints.

They only felt their heads buzzing.

Becoming a saint!

Since the opening of Heaven, how many Innate God Demons and how many brilliant talents have been born in the Primordial World?

Countless people have struggled and fought bitterly within the Great Dao!

But in the end, only those few people were able to become saints, and six of them, including Laozi, relied on Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Yet now, Di Qi is actually able to help Fuxi and the others become saints!

What a miracle this is!

The key is that apart from the Three Sovereigns, the aptitude and comprehension of Changxi, Longji, and Di Qi's five sons cannot be considered Top tier.

At least, not as good as the two of them.

Yet they all became saints.

Among them, Longji Gongzhu is their daughter, and Yin Zhou is their grandson!

Besides shock, Haotian and Yaochi felt a mix of pride and envy that they could not quite describe.

At the same time, they felt a stirring of restless ambition.

Since Di Qi could help the Three Sovereigns and the others become saints, could he also help them?

After all, they are Longji Gongzhu's parents.

But would Di Qi help them?

Hongjun continued, "Di Qi is mysterious and unfathomable; even I cannot see through him. I do not know if this Secret Technique of his to help others become saints has any side effects."

"However, it is not as if you have no chance to become saints."

"A thousand years ago, when I saw Di Qi, I learned from him the clues to the Return Ruins. For these thousand years, I have been performing Deductions on the method to enter the Return Ruins, and now I have succeeded."

"Next, I will take you into the Return Ruins."

"As for whether you can find the opportunity to become saints, that will depend on your own fortune."

"Many thanks, Master!"

Haotian and Yaochi were both shocked and delighted upon hearing this, and they knelt down one after another to thank him for his grace.

That was the Return Ruins.

As attendants by Hongjun's side, their understanding of the Return Ruins far exceeded that of others, and they also knew that Master had been obsessed with the Return Ruins, because it was highly likely that the opportunity to attain the Great Dao was hidden within.

Since even the opportunity to attain the Great Dao was there, they only wanted to become Saints, so that should not be a big problem, right?

Just at this moment, the voices of Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren came from outside Zixiao Palace: "Disciples Jieyin (Zhunti) request an audience with Teacher for an urgent matter."

Hongjun said indifferently: "Haotian, Yaochi, go and open the door."

"Yes, Master!"

Do not miss a single word of the content!

Haotian and Yaochi nodded respectfully, stood up, and walked toward the outside.

Since they had returned to being attendants, they naturally had to do the things that attendants should do.

Outside Zixiao Palace.

As the palace doors opened, both Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren were stunned.

The ones opening the door were actually Haotian and Yaochi!

They had returned to being attendants!

Although Haotian had returned to being an attendant, the bearing of the Heavenly Emperor was still there, and with Hongjun standing behind him, his confidence was even greater.

He said indifferently: "Two Senior Brothers, please."

Jieyin Daoren pressed his palms together and said: "Thank you, Junior Brother and Junior Sister!"

Zhunti Daoren asked curiously: "Two Junior Brother and Junior Sister, why have you returned to Teacher's side?"

Haotian said indifferently: "Staying by Master's side, one does not have to suffer others' insults."

*Cough cough! *

A look of embarrassment flashed across the faces of Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren.

Although they were better at dealing with people than the Three Pure Ones, when it came to treating Haotian, they would still display the arrogance and unreasonableness belonging to Saints, only not as directly as the Three Pure Ones.

Now that they were given such a retort by Haotian, how could they not be embarrassed?

An attendant by Hongjun's side and the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court were two completely different concepts.

Jieyin Daoren was quite forthright, or perhaps one could say he knew how to bend and stretch; he apologized: "Junior Brother, it was our negligence in the past, I hope you will be magnanimous. If there is any need in the future, the two of us brothers will surely do our utmost."

Zhunti Daoren also nodded in agreement.

"Hehe!"

Haotian just gave a "hehe" laugh.

A moment later.

Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren walked into the main hall, bowed, and performed a salute: "Disciples pay respects to Teacher."

"Hmm."

Hongjun nodded indifferently: "What is the matter?"

Zhunti Daoren could not wait to lodge a complaint: "Teacher, Di Qi is bold and reckless; he actually killed the two Senior Brothers Yuanshi and Tongtian. This is simply lawless and is also destroying the foundation of Honghuang. We ask Teacher to make a decision for the two Senior Brothers."

Hongjun said indifferently: "The deaths of Yuanshi and Tongtian were not the work of Di Qi, but of Laozi. Laozi deceived Yuanshi and Tongtian, and under the pretext of reuniting the Pangu Primordial Spirit and obtaining Pangu Memory, he took the opportunity to devour them."

"Ah!"

Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren suddenly looked up, filled with shock.

It was not Di Qi!

It was actually Laozi!

They only felt their minds explode, as if they had been struck by Thunder.

Muddled and dazed.

*Hiss! *

After the shock, both of them gasped in cold air.

That Laozi always had the appearance of an immortal with a refined demeanor; who would have thought he was so ruthless, even devouring the brothers who had accompanied him for hundreds of millions of years!

This was simply a beast, a demon!
