Chapter 995: Primordial Violet Qi

It's confirmed!

Di Qi must have obtained the support of the Three Sovereigns to be able to continuously produce various cultivation resources, many of which were unheard of and unseen even in the Honghuang.

Things like Mobile Phones, the Heavenly Dao Network, and so on.

No matter how abundant the resources of the Return Ruins are, there is always a limit; that is why Di Qi utilized the Primordial Mall to collect resources throughout the Honghuang, even going so far as to bring out strategic supplies like Eight-Turn Golden Pills and Daluo-level Warships.

Things that were once incomprehensible can now all be explained.

Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren were firmly convinced that their deduction was the one that best fit the reality of the situation.

It is the unknown that makes people afraid.

Since they had guessed it, both Jieyin and Zhunti felt a sense of relief in their hearts.

Mere Five Emperors, no matter how they cultivate, are at most Peak Quasi-Saints now; it is impossible for them to become Saints.

And those who do not become Saints are, in the end, mere ants.

Zhunti Daoren's eyes brightened, and his voice rose: "Senior Brother, if we can find the Return Ruins and claim them for ourselves, then our Buddhism will surely become the undisputed number one sect. We might even turn the entire Honghuang into our Buddha-land."

Jieyin Daoren was also secretly moved, and he sighed: "If only my true self were still in the Honghuang, I would directly capture Di Qi and force him to reveal the way to the Return Ruins."

Zhunti Daoren's eyes rolled: "Senior Brother, perhaps this day will not be too far off. Previously, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun tried their best to support the Demon Race, and now they have started to subsidize the Wu Clan; at first, I was somewhat puzzled.

Now I have suddenly figured it out; they are likely doing this to give the Wu and Demon races the strength to return to the Primordial Continent.

If the Honghuang falls into chaos, they will have an excuse to request the Teacher to return to the Primordial World.

I believe the Teacher would not wish to see the Honghuang in chaos either."

Jieyin Daoren's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Very likely. Since that is the case, should we also support the Demon Race and the Wu Clan? The Great Shang Celestial Dynasty's strength has greatly increased, and the current power of the Wu and Demon races is still somewhat lacking."

Zhunti Daoren nodded: "We must support them, but just a token gesture will suffice. Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun are more anxious than we are. It is highly probable that Di Qi is the one who snatched the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner."

………

There is no shortage of smart people in the world, let alone Saints.

The things that Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren guessed, Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and even Tongtian Jiaozhu and others had also guessed, because the Return Ruins was the most realistic explanation.

Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun were gnashing their teeth in hatred and decided to increase the intensity of their subsidies to the Demon Race and the Wu Clan.

Tongtian Jiaozhu was relatively more "Buddhist" about it.

In any case, the Jie Sect had a good relationship with the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, and many high-ranking officials and generals of Great Shang were his disciples.

Zhenyuanzi, the Queen Mother of the West, and others were also very "Buddhist"; they did not have great ambitions, as long as the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty did not hinder them from preaching, they didn't care how you fought to the death.

The Long-Feng Qilin Sanzue, however, began to stir.

Because Zulong, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin were about to be resurrected; once they were resurrected, the strength of their three clans would surpass their peak period, possessing the qualifications to contend for hegemony over the Honghuang.

No one is willing to be ordinary, let alone the former overlords of Heaven and Earth.

The reason they were content with being ordinary was merely because they were still accumulating strength.

Under this premise, the Long-Feng Qilin Sanzue first met in secret, then sent representatives to ascend Shouyang Mountain, and then Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin, Minghe Laozu, Lu Ya, Kunpeng Laozu, Xingtian, and others arrived in secret one after another.

After a secret deliberation, the Long-Feng Qilin Sanzue joined the Anti-Shang Alliance.

However, the Ren Sect, Chan Sect, and Buddhism had to provide them with massive amounts of cultivation resources, and promised that the Four Seas and the million billion li of Donghai Zhibin would belong to the Dragon Clan; the rest of the Primordial Continent would be divided equally among the Wu Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and the Qilin Clan.

The Immortal World would belong to the Demon Race.

The Underworld would likewise belong to the Wu Clan.

Although the Wu Clan was not very happy, because in their hearts the Primordial Continent was their own backyard, and now they had to share it with other races, they naturally felt uncomfortable.

However, the situation was stronger than the people, and they were not invincible at the moment.

But once Dijiang Zuwu and the others were resurrected, they would not be the ones calling the shots, so the Wu Clan would have no need to keep their promises.

The so-called Anti-Shang Alliance was actually full of ulterior motives. The Wu and Demon races were mortal enemies, and the Long-Feng Qilin Sanzue were no better.

The conflicts between the Ren Sect, Chan Sect, and Buddhism were also not small.

However, in order to deal with the increasingly powerful Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, they had no choice but to unite.

In fact, at the very beginning, the Long-Feng Qilin Sanzue intended to unite in secret and sit on the mountain to watch the tigers fight, watching the Anti-Shang Alliance and the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty slaughter each other, so they could come to clean up at the end.

But considering the deterrent power of the Saints, they could only extinguish this delusion.

Once the Saints returned to the Primordial World, even if they dominated the Honghuang, they would be beaten back to their original forms, or perhaps even face the extinction of their clans.

After the new Anti-Shang Alliance was established, all parties buried their heads in development.

But at the same time, they also strengthened their infiltration of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty and searched with all their might for clues to the Return Ruins.

………

The Immortal World.

The Heavenly Court.

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... book....!

Haotian's expression was heavy as he said: "Yaochi, the development of Great Shang far exceeds my expectations. If things go on like this, how can our Heavenly Court and the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty coexist peacefully in the future?"

The premise of peaceful coexistence is that both sides are evenly matched.

If one side is absolutely powerful, even if the other side does not make a move, one will invisibly fall into a disadvantage, eventually slowly evolving into living under someone else's breath, or even completely surrendering to the other side.

Di Qi plus the Three Sovereigns—that is four Peak Quasi-Saints.

And with the resources Di Qi controls, the Quasi-Saints of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty will surely emerge one after another in the future; what does his Heavenly Court have to compare with?

Perhaps for the sake of Longji Gongzhu, Di Qi will not send troops to the Immortal World.

But the Heavenly Court will also be trapped and die in the Immortal World.

He is someone who once dreamed of being the Supreme of the Three Realms; how could he endure such a situation appearing!

Yaochi Jinmu looked at Haotian and said solemnly: "What do you want to do? The Demon Race is gradually becoming powerful, and their return to the Honghuang is already a foregone conclusion; with the support of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, how can we resist?"

And there is the Wu Clan, who view all living beings as Blood Food.

If they reoccupy the Primordial Continent, they will definitely attack the Immortal World in the end.

The various Sages are none of them easy characters to deal with.

Aside from forming an alliance with Di Qi, we have long since had no other choice."

Haotian's expression shifted, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "But I am not reconciled to this. If I could become a Saint, why would I fear any of this?"

Yaochi Jinmu suddenly said, "Perhaps we could beg our teacher."

Haotian frowned: "Beg our teacher?"

Yaochi Jinmu said, "That is correct. Perhaps our teacher knows the whereabouts of that strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi belonging to Hongyun. If you could obtain it, Senior Brother, you could Proving Dao to Become a Saint in an instant!"

Back then, when the Hongmeng Purple Qi was distributed at Zixiao Palace, there were seven strands in total.

Six of them were bestowed upon the Three Pure Ones, the Western Two Sages, and Nuwa respectively; because they were disciples of the Dao Ancestor, no one dared to harbor designs on those six strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi.

However, the final strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi was obtained by Red Cloud Ancestor.

Red Cloud Ancestor was not a disciple of Hongjun, and thus he was plotted against by Kunpeng Laozu, Di Jun, and the others, eventually meeting his death.

Yet, during his self-detonation, that strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi also lost its trail.

Logically speaking, as Hongjun Daozu is a part of the Heavenly Dao, as long as the Hongmeng Purple Qi remained within the Primordial World, it certainly could not escape his perception; it is even possible that he had already taken it back long ago.

After all, in the beginning, the Hongmeng Purple Qi was brought out by Hongjun Daozu.

"That's right, how did I not think of that?"

Haotian stood up excitedly and said, "There is no time to lose, Junior Sister, I shall head to Zixiao Palace right now." (End of chapter)
