Chapter 125: Originally, Hong Jun Wanted

Wu Luo was slightly shaken.

“How the hell does this damn figurine have an immortal attribute?!” Wu Luo stared blankly, his face utterly shattered.

The Luo Hou figurine floated in the void, gazing at the boy slumped atop the black lotus, and said coolly: “What, can’t handle it already?”

“Can you just shut up?” Wu Luo glared at the figurine, his gaze murderous.

Fine, it’s already come for me—but it can’t kill my true self’s figurine.

When Nüwa molded the figurine, she successfully fused in the immortal attribute; now this figurine is indestructible and eternal.

The Luo Hou figurine glanced sidelong at Wu Luo, its tone laced with arrogance: “Beg me, and I’ll agree.”

“Where do you get so many words?!”

Wu Luo was in a foul mood—who the hell wrote these lines? It was simply… maddening… infuriating!!

He scratched his head, then finally used the jade casket to seal the figurine away.

Staring at the jade casket in his hand, Wu Luo snorted: “Wait till I think of a way to deal with you!”

Before completely resolving this figurine, it must be securely stored.

Absolutely cannot let this figurine fall into anyone else’s hands.

Absolutely not!

And also.

“Xiang Xuanqing, you despicable bastard!”

Wu Luo’s low curses echoed through Mount Sumeru.

Within Bai Yujing, the senior elders gathered once more in the Fifth Heavenly City.

“Fengdu as the Dao Ancestor? We all oppose it!” Yin Yang Dao Ren spoke first, appearing hastily, visibly agitated.

“If he becomes the Ancestor of the Immortal Dao and rules Bai Yujing, I dare not even imagine where our Immortal Dao’s future will lead.”

This time, Yin Yang Dao Ren set aside personal grudges and considered purely from the perspective of the Immortal Dao’s development, declaring that Xiang Xuanqing must not become the Dao Ancestor.

Qian Kun Immortal also said: “The matter of the Dao Ancestor requires careful deliberation!”

He truly hadn’t expected Hong Jun to have such boldness—to make such a promise.

Dian Dao Immortal hung upside-down in midair, drifting before Hong Jun: “From my personal standpoint, I have no objection to inviting Fengdu Dao Friend into Bai Yujing—even allowing him to succeed you in ruling the Immortal Dao would be most welcome.”

“But for the sake of the Immortal Dao’s future, Fengdu Dao Friend is truly unsuitable to be our Ancestor.”

Dian Dao Immortal had seen with his own eyes Hong Jun’s Dao Contamination ability.

He’d only been in Bai Yujing twice, yet the Immortals’ madness was already nearly matching his own Dian Dao level.

He himself possessed a certain infectious quality in his Dian Dao Fruit, and thus had a keen sensitivity to such things.

Dian Dao Immortal even suspected that, had his nature not been somewhat similar to Xiang Xuanqing’s, he’d already been contaminated into “Shun Zhi Immortal.”

Under these circumstances, if Xiang Xuanqing became the Dao Ancestor, what would the Immortal Dao become?

“I agree.”

Kun Peng said delicately: “The Immortal Dao was founded by Dao Friend; we joined Bai Yujing because of Dao Friend. To hastily replace the Dao Ancestor would not only leave us unprepared, but the lower Immortals would surely object.”

Hong Jun Dao Ren, hearing this, felt he must speak up for Xiang Xuanqing: “My idea isn’t impulsive—I truly believe Fengdu Dao Friend possesses this strength and capability.”

“You’ve seen the Tian Xian Fruit—it is indeed our Immortal Dao’s path to the heavens; and the Ghost Immortal among the Five Heavenly Immortals will be born under his hand. The Yin Supreme Transcendence Method will surely rival the Tian Xian Fruit.”

“I believe that in the near future, Fengdu Dao Friend will enter the Da Luo ranks; at that time, his strategies may illuminate our Immortal Dao’s future even further.”

Hong Jun spoke earnestly—he had affinity with Xiang Xuanqing and genuinely believed in his strength and capability.

Had he not known Xiang Xuanqing had his own path to walk, Hong Jun might have shamelessly attempted to take him as a disciple.

Then, he could have worn out Pangu Banner, sacrificed this ultimate treasure, and gained Xiang Xuanqing as a disciple—pure profit.

For now, he could only try binding Xiang Xuanqing to the Immortal Dao’s chariot with the title of “Dao Ancestor.”

“It’s not that we doubt Fengdu Dao Friend’s ability,” Dong Hua Di Jun said anxiously: “It’s precisely because we trust his ability too much that we oppose him becoming Dao Ancestor!”

“That’s right, meow~~” San Hua Cat Lu Wu sat upright atop Yao Chi’s head, once again serving as his master’s mouthpiece.

“I believe the ‘Dao Ancestor’ is a public instrument of the Immortal Dao, a true name spanning eternity.”

Lu Wu spoke earnestly: “Primordial deities—only their true names and their instruments of attainment may not be entrusted to others. Please, Hong Jun Dao Friend, consider carefully.”

“Name” refers to the [Primordial True Name]; “instrument” refers to the [Instrument of Attainment].

These two are tied to a cultivator’s Dao—there is no room for recklessness.

Had the opposing party not been the founder of the Immortal Dao and master of Bai Yujing, Lu Wu would have asked Hong Jun: “Have you eaten too many dried fish and caught cat disease?”

“Could it be that Hong Jun Dao Friend has already comprehended the ultimate truth of ‘Dao Cheng Hun Yuan’ beyond Da Luo?” asked Jie Yin.

His mind worked strangely: “Could abandoning ‘name’ and ‘instrument’ be part of Hong Jun Dao Friend’s cultivation plan?”

As soon as he spoke, every Immortal’s gaze snapped to him.

All eyes fixed on Jie Yin.

“Why are you all staring at me? Don’t worry—I haven’t secretly attained Da Luo behind your backs.”

“This is merely a reasonable inference based on facts.”

Jie Yin smiled: “Da Luo encompasses all existence, eternally free. But transcending the river of time and space, being immortal and indestructible—surely isn’t the end of Da Luo.”

“Just as among Tai Yi deities there are differences, are there no differences among Da Luo?”

“It is well known that Pangu Great God is also a Da Luo Sovereign—his Da Luo is certainly stronger than ordinary Da Luo.”

Jie Yin turned his gaze to Hong Jun and Yang Mei: “So I was just thinking—if Da Luo were to delve deeper, there must be methods, such as the ‘Hun Yuan Immortal’ proposed by Xiang Xuanqing Dao Friend.”

Upon hearing Jie Yin’s speculation, the senior elders’ eyes gleamed.

Everyone felt this speculation was highly plausible.

Thus, all eyes turned toward Hong Jun Dao Ren.

“Dao Friend, was what Sutiputi just said true?” Yin Yang Dao Ren stared intently at Hong Jun—he had already forgotten Xiang Xuanqing.

The Immortals desperately wanted to know the secrets of Da Luo.

Hong Jun looked at Jie Yin, a flicker of surprise in his eyes, quickly suppressed.

He smiled: “Indeed, this is part of the plan.”

It was real!

Upon learning the truth, the Immortals were stunned.

Jie Yin sat upright, smiling, appearing as if he held all wisdom.

In truth, his inner shock was no less intense.

【My Pangu Great God, I actually guessed right! Hong Jun really wants to use this opportunity to explore the deep cultivation methods of Da Luo!】 Jie Yin’s heart surged with astonishment and joy—he’d simply thought aloud, and somehow hit the mark.

【I, Jie Yin, am truly a genius! Oh no—I’m Qian Ti now; Qian Ti is the genius!】

【We’re all geniuses, hahaha.】

Yang Mei, standing silently nearby, also looked curiously at Jie Yin.

Had he not been a fellow Da Luo, Yang Mei would never have guessed Hong Jun’s true intent.

Yet Jie Yin, with a flash of insight, had just uncovered it.

This reminded Yang Mei of Hong Jun’s earlier evaluation when inviting Jie Yin into Bai Yujing.

Jie Yin possesses great wisdom.
