Chapter 325: Hongjun Falls, Carrying Victory to the End [Combined, 6k]

Time goes back half a quarter of an hour ago.

On the other side of the Land of Nothingness.

Two Daoists were guarding the Treasure Cliff.

One of them wore a Nine Heavens Dao crown, wore a purple mist robe of nothingness, held a clean water bowl in his left hand, and was fierce and evil.

The other wore a Jade Ruyi Dao crown, wore a flawless creation robe, and three thousand law divine lights appeared behind him, evolving three thousand great worlds.

These were exactly Hongjun's evil corpse 【Daoist Juntian】 and self-corpse 【Daoist Hongyuan】.

Just as Xiang Xuanqing expected, the two Daoists received Hongjun's order to guard the Treasure Cliff, so as not to have no chance to make a comeback if Hongjun capsized this time.

"Hongyuan, you say the true self won't capsize this time, right?" The evil corpse 【Daoist Juntian】 looked at the Zhuxian formation in the far distance, speculating with malice in his heart.

"If the true self is gone, can we still exist?" The self-corpse 【Daoist Hongyuan】 looked at the scenery in the Chaos calmly.

This vast Chaos, besides black, is still black.

The evil corpse 【Daoist Juntian】 smiled and said: "If the true self does not exist, of course we can exist."

"The method of attaining the Dao with three corpses is a method that allows the true self and the three corpses to attain the Dao."

"Our connection with the true self is unified and independent."

"If we die, the true self can fish us back; if the true self dies, we can also save the true self."

The evil corpse 【Daoist Juntian】 said: "Otherwise, why would the true self let us guard here? Isn't it because he is worried that Taiwei Yuan will win by surprise and catch us all in one net?"

"Although based on our understanding of the true self, the possibility of him capsizing is minimal, but..."

Boom~~~

At this moment, the Treasure Cliff shook slightly.

The next moment, a flash of divine light flashed, and the entire Treasure Cliff and countless spiritual treasures disappeared directly.

"What happened?"

"What happened?"

"Where is the treasure? Our spiritual treasures!"

On the Treasure Cliff, Hongjun's evil corpse 【Daoist Juntian】 and self-corpse 【Daoist Hongyuan】 looked at the four directions in a daze.

In the Zhuxian universe, after the Treasure Cliff descended from the sky, treasure light rushed to the sky.

The Taiwei deities' eyes were straight, and everyone's breathing became a little hurried.

They knew Hongjun had many spiritual treasures before, but they didn't expect there to be so many!!

Yuan Huang's heart moved slightly, sensing some predestined objects: "Yin-Yang Two-Qi Bottle, Flying Smoke Sword, Shining Heaven Seal, Ten Thousand Crow Pot..."

Zhunti sensed some spiritual treasures calling to him almost instantly.

"Innate Human Seed Bag, Innate Golden Bowl, Brocade Kasaya, Innate Nine-Ring Tin Staff, Dragon-Tiger Diamond Pestle," he chanted, his eyes glowing with excitement.

Nv Wa glanced at it, and one spiritual treasure after another emitted brilliant light.

There were Marriage Book, Mountain-Sea Pearl, Innate Jade Pipa, Heaven-Earth-Human Three Dazzling Rings, Four Seas Bottle...

Taishang also saw one purple light cluster after another.

"Xuan Du Heaven Plow, Doushu Purple Flame, Wordless Heavenly Book, Five-Light Box, Flying Cloud Zhu Jian, Dragon-Phoenix Qin, Xiao Xiao Qian Kun Map..."

In addition, there were Huang Quan Bai Yu Gui, Innate Soul-Calling Banner, Sun-Moon Wandering Soul Order, Blood Talisman Life-Seeking Book, Heavenly Machine Prophecy, Soul-Devouring Needle, Blood-Transforming Demon Knife, Four-Elephant Pagoda, Dragon-Tiger Jade Ruyi, Sun-Moon Pearl, Golden Mist Crown, Treasure Pagoda, Xiao Xiao Qian Kun Bag, Golden Phoenix Hairpin, Dragon-Chanting Flute, Life-Pointing Knife, Wind-Thunder Scissors, Jade Ruyi Pouch, etc., thousands of spiritual treasures.

The Taiwei deities, more or less, all sensed spiritual treasures calling to them.

"These spiritual treasures are all predestined with us!" Xiang Xuanqing shouted, raised the Investiture of the Gods in his hand, and infinite golden light surged, covering the Treasure Cliff.

"Yes, these spiritual treasures are all predestined with us!"

The Taiwei deities were extremely excited.

They all showed their divine abilities and grabbed the spiritual treasures on the Treasure Cliff.

Regardless of whether they are predestined or not, if you grab them, it's fate!

Luo Hou's World-Destroying Black Lotus separated 108 petals, like worlds, covering some treasure light.

Tai Yi sacrificed the Chaos Bell, and the sound of the bell spread through the ages.

Wang Shu pushed out the Bright Moon Treasure Mirror, and infinite moonlight turned into streamers and flew into the Treasure Cliff.

Ming He directly divided into 1.08 billion blood gods and rushed out together.

Zhenyuanzi shook his sleeves, and the Universe in the Sleeve was exerted to the extreme!

There were also Taishang, Hearing Fu Xi, Nv Wa, Zhunti, and Yuan Huang who all made moves.

With so many spiritual treasures in front, is it justified not to grab them?

"Bring it here!"

The Taiwei deities all showed their divine abilities, robbing Hongjun's treasure house.

"No—"

Hong Jun could not remain calm.

Anger rose from his heart, and malice grew from his guts.

"Come!"

Hong Jun slapped his Daoist crown, and three lights burst forth, with auspicious Qi swirling around.

The Evil Corpse 【Daoist Juntian】 and Self Corpse 【Daoist Hongyuan】, who had been guarding outside the formation, appeared.

Appearing along with them was the Great Pangu Banner, one of the three treasures of Heaven-Opening!

Hong Jun took a step forward.

Boom—!

He unleashed the most terrifying slaughter of the Great Pangu Banner.

"Heaven and Earth perish together, all things return to the end!"

The Great Pangu Banner shook, emitting supreme sword intent.

Chaos Sword Qi crisscrossed, slicing through Chaos like cutting tofu; a region of Chaos was shattered to pieces, with clarity and turbidity separating everywhere, wind and water arising everywhere, and earth and fire evolving everywhere.

In an instant, the power to tear apart the Attack Hong Huang and the divine might to crush the Heavenly Space-Time erupted completely.

The Immortal-Slaying Universe was instantly on the verge of collapse.

At the same time, Hong Jun's three corpses charged directly toward Xiang Xuanqing and the others.

In an instant, the Great Dao became profound and mysterious, with layers upon layers of law-light shadows.

A Daoist Hong Jun rushed out from countless space-times.

After appearing, they only performed one action—pinching a seal.

Then, self-detonation!

"Holy crap!"

Now it was the turn of the Taiwei gods to be dumbfounded.

Stealing two spiritual treasures, and they just play at self-detonation?

"This old Daoist Hong Jun has gone mad!"

Yang Mei, Xiao Qian Kun, Yin Yang, Dian Dao, and Gou Chen also fled in a panic.

"It has always been I, Hong, who robs others; you actually dare to rob me!"

"All of you, go to hell!"

Countless Hong Juns activated the self-detonation sequence at this moment.

The power of the Great Pangu Banner to destroy the heavens and the power of Hong Jun's self-detonation erupted.

Infinite brilliance bloomed, terrifying energy vented in all directions, and endless Chaos stirred up waves of space-time, annihilating everything.

Boom—!!!

Above the River of Space-Time, a pitch-black little boat drifted in the shimmering light of the eons.

A little squirrel wearing a bamboo hat and a small cape, holding a long pole in its hand, was squatting on the gunwale fishing.

Its eyes were fixed on its pole, forgetting the years, unaware of spring or autumn.

Just then, the little boat suddenly shook.

The little squirrel hurriedly reeled in the pole: "Got a fish, got a fish!!"

"Ahem~~, what kind of fish?"

With a splashing sound, an Innate Deity wandering the River of Space-Time stepped out from a tributary and boarded the Ferry of the World.

He was dressed in dark robes, with a jade belt at his waist, his face handsome and heroic, though a few strands of hair near his cheeks were slightly messy.

"Xiang Xuanqing?" The little squirrel's gaze went blank for a moment, then it said dejectedly: "Didn't catch a real fish again!"

The ferryman in white stood at the bow, looking like a refined gentleman, watching the appearing Xiang Xuanqing with a smile: "I thought you would capsize this time, Honored One!"

"Capsize? That's impossible!"

Xiang Xuanqing hummed lightly, tidying his appearance slightly.

Then, he changed the subject: "But it's true that the harvest has become smaller."

Looking at the little squirrel that hadn't caught a fish again, Xiang Xuanqing shook his head, "Xiao Song, give it up; you might not have any talent for fishing."

"How about I get you some new equipment."

As he spoke, Xiang Xuanqing casually took a golden fishing net from his sleeve, "This is an Innate Spiritual Treasure—the Mist-Dew Xiao Xiao Qian Kun Net; you can use it to net fish from now on."

The little squirrel looked at the fishing rod in its hand, then at the Mist-Dew Xiao Xiao Qian Kun Net Xiang Xuanqing was handing over.

Finally, it turned its head away: "Take it away! Take it away quickly!"

"Who needs your net?"

"Really don't want it?" Xiang Xuanqing asked with a smile.

"Don't want it! Definitely don't want it!"

The little squirrel's eyes were bright and spirited; it stared at its fishing rod and said righteously: "Do I fish purely for the sake of fish? It's to enjoy the joy of fishing!"

"Using a net to catch fish, that's not interesting at all."

"I'd rather guard an empty pole than have this net."

"It doesn't matter if I don't catch a single one; I don't care at all!"

Seeing the little squirrel so insistent, Xiang Xuanqing handed the Mist-Dew Xiao Xiao Qian Kun Net to the ferryman.

The ferryman accepted it gladly: "Won't need to use the oar for fishing anymore."

"Splash~~"

Another majestic figure bathed in the light of eons, stepped out from a tributary of the River of Space-Time, and boarded the Ferry of the World.

"That old Daoist really got desperate." Tai Shang looked travel-worn, his Taiwei divine armor covered in the traces of time.

He refreshed his state for a good while before recovering.

Xiang Xuanqing nodded lightly: "It's good that you are alright, Fellow Daoist."

"If I had run any slower, I would have been in real trouble." Tai Shang sighed endlessly.

Hong Jun has roamed the Primordial world for countless eons, and he truly refuses to suffer even the slightest loss.

If he had been any slower, let alone robbing others of their treasures, he would have had to account for himself in the Land of Boundlessness, and then be scavenged.

That would have been a huge loss.

"But there was still some harvest this time; it wasn't a wasted trip!" Tai Shang cast aside the unlucky matters, his face revealing a smile.

He looked at Xiang Xuanqing and asked with a smile: "How many treasures did you rob, Fellow Daoist?"

Xiang Xuanqing replied: "Much less than expected, only five."

"Only fifty or sixty pieces?!"

Tai Shang widened his eyes, looking at Xiang Xuanqing as if he were a monster.

Hong Jun even exploded directly.

In that situation, saving one's life was barely enough, yet you were still able to rob fifty or sixty spiritual treasures?

"Are they all Innate?" Tai Shang asked unwillingly; there were actually many acquired items on the Treasure-Dividing Cliff.

"Of course!"

Xiang Xuanqing said as a matter of course: "Why would I rob them if they weren't Innate spiritual treasures?"

He raised his hand, and rays of light flew out from his sleeve.

The Huang Quan Bai Yu Scepter, Innate Soul-Summoning Banner, Sun-Moon Wandering Soul Order, Netherworld Trident, and other spiritual treasures shone brilliantly.

Tai Shang became withdrawn.

"How many did you rob?" Xiang Xuanqing asked.

Tai Shang held up three fingers.

"Thirty pieces? That's not bad."

"It's three pieces!"

Tai Shang sighed: "One is the Xuandu Heavenly Plow, a weapon of execution; one is the Xiao Xiao Qian Kun Map, a treasure for trapping people; one is the Jade Purifying Bottle, whose function is similar to my gourd, and can be used to collect people."

Xiang Xuanqing nodded: "Not bad, not bad, these three spiritual treasures are all quite good!"

Tai Shang looked at the Innate spiritual treasures floating behind Xiang Xuanqing, and he simply couldn't bring himself to take out his own harvest.

The battle record was too poor!

Including the previous twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls, it was only four pieces (sets).

"Forget it, let's not talk about this; let's go fish out Fellow Daoist Shuiyao Chenxing." Tai Shang hurriedly changed the subject.

No matter how little the Taiwei gods harvested, there was still a harvest.

Ancestral Dragon was gone directly; how could one word "miserable" describe it? "Fish him out, of course we must fish him out!"

The ferryman on the side laughed: "He has also been here with me; the Ferry of the World remembers his aura, and we are going to fish out Fellow Daoist Shuiyao Chenxing now."

"But before that, I must brew a pot of Soul-Returning Soup for him!"

Having said that, the ferryman skillfully set up the pot, took out a soup ladle, and then added water, lit the fire, put in ingredients, and stirred...

The set of actions was smooth and flowing, and not long after, bursts of fragrance drifted from the small boat.

"Is this your Soul-Returning Soup?" Tai Shang looked at the pot with a face full of doubt.

Xiang Xuanqing pulled him to the side and said: "Don't worry, when it comes to brewing soup, the ferryman is a professional."

"Is that so?"

Tai Shang was half-believing.

"Do you want to fish?" Xiang Xuanqing produced two fishing rods from somewhere.

"Can we catch anything?"

Tai Shang glanced at the little squirrel, which had an empty hook again, in a way that was neither here nor there.

"Squeak squeak squeak~~"

The little squirrel jumped up in anger and stepped on Tai Shang's foot.

This made everyone burst into laughter.

The small boat drifted on the River of Space-Time for a while longer, and the ferryman said: "We've arrived."

"Fellow Daoist Shuiyao Chenxing is sinking in this 'water area'; let's see which of you can save him."

"That must be me!" The little squirrel patted its chest, full of confidence.

Whoosh~ whoosh~ whoosh~

The two people and one squirrel sat on the gunwale fishing.

"Xiang Xuanqing, there was a slip-up in the encirclement of the Fierce Beast clan this time; when can we find the opportunity to completely crush them next time?"

"That's hard to say."

Xiang Xuanqing replied: "Although the True Destruction Mo Shen is dead, his Dao Fruit still exists, and his Dao Artifact still exists."

"Perhaps Shen Ni has found a successor to a Destruction Mo Shen, inheriting everything of the True Destruction Mo Shen."

"It's just unclear whether this successor independently condensed the 【True Dao Fruit】 or became a carrier for the True Destruction Mo Shen's resurrection."

"Anyway, the power he left behind has already taken effect, and the back-up plans I arranged in the Fierce Beast clan are being eliminated."

"Plus, after they survive this difficulty, they will completely establish a foothold in the Primordial world, and the influence of the Great Tribulation will become greater and greater; it won't be long before even I will find it difficult to control their movements."

Tai Shang heard this and nodded: "In other words, it can still be controlled?"

"... Shen Ni is moving out of this range of control." Xiang Xuanqing admitted it.

Tai Shang heard this, and the smile on his face became even wider: "It seems he is not far from death."

His tone was quite certain.

Based on Tai Shang's understanding of Xiang Xuanqing, the other party would never let an out-of-control "criminal gang" roam the Primordial world wantonly.

The moment the Fierce Beast clan completely exceeded Xiang Xuanqing's expectations, it meant the time to end this Great Tribulation had arrived.

"What about Hong Jun? Will he intervene again?" Xiao Song on the side also joined the chat queue.

It said with some indignation: "This old Daoist loves to meddle in other people's business the most."

"I just wanted to get by in the Primordial world at the beginning, but this guy actually came to block me personally."

"It's just that I run fast, otherwise I would definitely have fallen into his hands!"

"The possibility of Hong Jun interfering again is not high."

Xiang Xuanqing analyzed: "Although he is not in the same group as us, he will definitely not stand on the side of the Fierce Beast camp."

"I estimate that Hong Jun has some plans regarding the Fierce Beast clan or the Chaos Demon Gods this time, otherwise he wouldn't have risked offending us to intervene."

"I think so too!"

Tai Shang nodded; if there weren't some plan, Hong Jun really wouldn't have bothered to provoke them at this time.

Of course, actually, if Xiang Xuanqing hadn't directly found where Hong Jun was hiding this time.

Their Taiwei Yuan would definitely have had to suffer this loss.

"Why is Hong Jun paying attention to the Fierce Beast clan?" Xiao Song, as the former Five Elements Destruction Mo Shen, still admired those fellow Daoists of the Fierce Beast clan quite a bit.

After facing Great Pangu's great axe, they were still able to pick up the courage to overthrow the Primordial world.

Xiao Song asked itself if it could do that.

So it directly recognized reality and chose to lie flat early on.

If not necessary, it wouldn't even want to enter the Primordial True Realm.

"That's unknown."

Xiang Xuanqing shook his head, "Until the end, who knows what Hong Jun intends to do?"

"Maybe he has his eyes on the legacy of those Chaos Demon Gods and doesn't want these things to end up in our hands."

"Then what are the plans for our Taiwei Yuan next?"

Tai Shang asked: "Should we continue to conquer the Myriad Worlds, or regroup, spread the net wide, and capture the Fierce Beasts?"

Xiang Xuanqing said with a firm attitude: "Of course, it's to carry the victory through to the end!"

Plop~~

"Yay! I got one, I got one!"

At this time, Xiao Song was ecstatic: "I finally caught a fish."

"Quick, quick, quick, bring the oar, bring the oar!"

Xiang Xuanqing and Tai Shang saw this and put away their fishing rods.

The ferryman waited until Xiao Song dragged a golden space-time swimming fish to the side of the boat, then he picked up the oar and smashed it down suddenly.

"Bang!!"

Huge splashes were stirred up, and the fish was directly stunned, turning its white belly up.

The ferryman used the Xiao Xiao Qian Kun Net to fish it up.

Then he threw this golden space-time swimming fish into the prepared pot.

"Wait, is that how Soul-Returning Soup is used?" Tai Shang's eyelids jumped, and he shouted hurriedly.

Those who know will think you are saving someone; those who don't will think you are eating fish!

"That's exactly how it's used!"

The ferryman said: "Fellow Daoist, don't question my professionalism!"

"Second brother, don't be excited." Xiang Xuanqing laughed and pulled Tai Shang to sit aside.

"Let's wait to eat... ahem, let's wait for Fellow Daoist Shuiyao Chenxing to drink a bowl of soup, and then we will know if it's saving someone."

Tai Shang then sat down.

Then, he saw the ferryman start to peel the scales off the golden swimming fish.

Tai Shang was shocked: "Why are you peeling the scales?"

The ferryman explained: "Returning from the River of Space-Time requires shedding the old body and changing the bones; this is the normal rescue process."

As he spoke, the ferryman pulled out the reverse scale of the golden swimming fish.

Tai Shang's mouth twitched.

He silently glanced at Xiang Xuanqing beside him.

He saw him closing his eyes to rest.

Tai Shang looked at the goldfish in the pot again.

He simply closed his eyes as well.

After a flurry of activity by the ferryman, he suddenly shouted: "The golden scale is not a thing in the pot; once it meets the wind and clouds, it turns into a dragon!"

"Fellow Daoist Shuiyao Chenxing, if you don't return now, when will you?"

Crack~~

Wind and clouds gathered above the River of Space-Time.

A brilliant golden light flew out from the pot.

"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist!" As soon as Ancestral Dragon appeared, he transformed into a handsome and dashing Daoist.

Ancestral Dragon turned around and bowed to Xiang Xuanqing and Tai Shang: "Many thanks, Heavenly Emperor, many thanks, Fellow Daoist Lord Jing Yao!"

"Hey hey! Why don't you thank me?"

Xiao Song raised its head and said dissatisfiedly: "I was the one who fished you up!"

Ancestral Dragon looked down and couldn't help but smile.

He squatted down and cupped his hands toward Xiao Song: "Many thanks to you too, Fellow Daoist!"

"That's more like it."

Xiao Song said with a grin: "If you could give me more opportunities, I would be very happy!"

Ancestral Dragon didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, Xiang Xuanqing relieved him: "Fellow Daoist Shuiyao Chenxing, let's return to Taiwei Yuan first."

"Good!"

Xiang Xuanqing and the three of them bid farewell to the ferryman and Xiao Song and began to return to the Primordial world.

Xiao Song waved at them: "Remember to come often!"

Along the way, Tai Shang introduced to Ancestral Dragon everything that happened after he "died."

As soon as Ancestral Dragon heard that everyone had robbed Hong Jun, he immediately sighed with regret: "Oh my, such a good opportunity, and I didn't get to go!"

In Taiwei Yuan, Ancestral Dragon had always been the most active when it came to robbing spiritual treasures.

And when Xiang Xuanqing told Ancestral Dragon that it was Hong Jun who tricked him to death, Ancestral Dragon was even more furious: "Old thief Hong Jun, you owe me too much!"

"Yo, Fellow Daoist Shuiyao Chenxing is back?"

Not far away, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou walked over.

Always cold and aloof, he seemed to be in a very good mood, his face filled with a brilliant smile: "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist for your return!"

"Congratulations to you too!"

Ancestral Dragon congratulated Luo Hou on achieving the result of forcing Hong Jun to his death.

Emptying Hong Jun's treasury and forcing Hong Jun to break the situation by self-detonating his three corpses—isn't that forcing him to his death?

"You flatter me, you flatter me; this is all the credit of the Heavenly Emperor and Friend Yinghuo!"

Luo Hou did not take credit for himself; if Xiang Xuanqing and Yuan Huang hadn't summoned Hong Jun's Treasure-Dividing Cliff at the end, Hong Jun really wouldn't have gotten desperate.

That "Heaven's End is Close at Hand" divine ability also opened everyone's eyes.

Ancestral Dragon sighed in admiration: "I have to say, it's worthy of being Friend Yinghuo!"

These unconventional but miraculously effective divine abilities are what Supreme Friend Yinghuo can create.

"Taiwei Yuan is almost here; remember to change into your divine armor, Fellow Daoist." Luo Hou suddenly reminded.

After Ancestral Dragon returned, he was wearing casual clothes.

It's unknown which scoop of weak water he was looking for when he used this image.

"Good!"

Ancestral Dragon immediately changed into the divine armor of the Supreme Star Lord of Water.

Everyone returned to Taiwei Yuan.

Fu Xi, Nv Wa, Tai Yi, Wang Shu, Ming He, and others also returned one after another.

At the last moment, everyone couldn't care about each other and could only retreat by their own means.

Except for Fu Xi and Nv Wa who were in good condition, the other few gods were more or less a bit disheveled.

However, after everyone arrived at Taiwei Yuan, they all changed into their exclusive divine armor, looking full of spirit.

This made Luo Hou very happy.

"Fellow Daoist Shuiyao Chenxing is back? The Heavenly Emperor's actions are truly fast!"

Seeing Ancestral Dragon return so quickly, everyone offered their congratulations.

Ancestral Dragon smiled at the gods: "You fellow Daoists did a big job without a sound; I'm truly envious!"

"Don't worry, there will be opportunities." 【Supreme Star Lord of Wood】 Fu Xi on the side patted his shoulder.

"Then I'll be waiting."

The gods chatted and laughed for a while longer.

Xiang Xuanqing tapped the Chaos long table and announced the official start of the meeting.

"The theme of this meeting is very simple, only seven words—'Carry the victory through to the end'!"
