Chapter 105: Refusing Hongjun Again! Hongmeng Purple Qi? I Don't Want It!

The moment Hongjun took out the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the surroundings once again fell into silence.

Countless gazes between heaven and earth were fixed intently on that wisp of strange aura, feeling a powerful aura of Chaos radiating from it! Almost everyone's eyes were fixed on the Hongmeng Purple Qi without blinking, completely forgetting everything else.

Even the members of the Transmigration Chat Group within Lu Yun's livestream were unable to remain calm at this moment, and they even forgot to film the discomposed appearance of the crowd around them.

"Holy crap, is this the Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

"Hiss! The legendary opportunity to become a Saint; I never expected that we would actually be lucky enough to see it today!"

"Look quickly, everyone, that guy Baize is practically drooling!"

"Don't mock him! If it were you, you'd probably be drooling too!"

"Although it's said that the Hongmeng Purple Qi is a trap, when I actually see it, I still can't help but feel tempted!"

"After all, this represents a position as a Heavenly Dao Saint!"

"We feel tempted just watching the livestream, let alone those powerhouses of the Great Desolation who have witnessed with their own eyes how the six Saints proved the Dao!"

"If the person holding the Hongmeng Purple Qi right now weren't Hongjun, but someone else, I'm afraid these guys would have already crazily rushed up to snatch it!"

The comments in the livestream were scrolling frantically.

Just as everyone had guessed, at this moment, whether they were on the scene or watching from afar, everyone was so excited they could hardly control themselves, wishing they could immediately rush over to snatch the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Even those like Laozi who had already become Saints felt their heartbeats accelerate when they saw the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

After all, if they could obtain another wisp of this Hongmeng Purple Qi and bestow it upon their disciples, it would mean another Saint could be added to their sect; who could not be tempted by that?

As for those like Di Jun and Taiyi, who were watching from afar, after a moment of astonishment and shock, they could no longer restrain themselves at all, and all of them frantically unleashed their Supernatural Powers, heading straight for the scene!

Although they actually knew that even if they arrived at the scene, it would be impossible for them to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

But what if? What if they begged a little, and the Dao Ancestor bestowed the Hongmeng Purple Qi upon them?

Then they would ascend to the heavens in a single step! Furthermore, even if this Hongmeng Purple Qi fell into someone else's hands, they could still find a way to snatch it, right? Thus, in an instant, countless powerhouses in the Great Desolation rushed toward the Human Race's Zhushan Tribe.

Even the Demon Master Kunpeng and the various Demon Saints of the Demon Race, who had been ordered by Di Jun to garrison the various main stars and be ready to act at any time, rushed toward the Zhushan Tribe without hesitation!

No one wanted to miss an opportunity like this!

With Hongjun's ability, he naturally took in the reactions of everyone around him and the many powerhouses across the Great Desolation.

He was very satisfied with this.

This was the effect he wanted! He looked at Lu Yun again and found that Lu Yun was also stunned on the spot, so he felt that Lu Yun must have been won over by his grand gesture!

He explained calmly, "This wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi was originally bestowed upon Hongyun back then. Unexpectedly, his fortune was insufficient, and it instead brought about a fatal disaster. To prevent the beings of the Great Desolation from suffering catastrophe due to fighting over it, I have taken it back."

These words were naturally to explain to all beings why he still had such a wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi in his hands.

Otherwise, what would happen if everyone came running to him to ask for Hongmeng Purple Qi in the future? The crowd, who had been stunned, returned to their senses one after another, and their faces revealed expressions of sudden realization.

When Zhenyuanzi thought of his old friend Hongyun, his expression became somewhat dim.

He also had not expected that the situation today would develop to this point.

Seeing that his old friend's former opportunity to become a Saint was about to be given away by the Dao Ancestor to someone else, he was naturally unwilling in his heart.

Because Hongyun had not actually completely perished; a wisp of his remnant soul had merged into the Ginseng Fruit Tree at his Wuzhuang Temple, and another wisp of his remnant soul had reincarnated as the current Yunzhongzi of the Chan Sect.

Zhenyuanzi really wanted to speak up and ask for the Hongmeng Purple Qi back for his old friend, but the words reached his lips, and in the end, he still could not say them.

For one, he did not want to annoy Hongjun; for another, whether it was his Ginseng Fruit Tree or Yunzhongzi, they could no longer be considered the original Hongyun, and he had no standing to speak.

Thinking of this, Zhenyuanzi only sighed to himself: at least it was a great blessing that this Hongmeng Purple Qi did not fall into the hands of those of the Demon Race! According to his observations, this Lu Yun seemed to be at odds with the Demon Race! If Lu Yun obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he could find a way to join forces with him later; perhaps they could work together to deal with the Demon Race and avenge Hongyun! While Zhenyuanzi's thoughts were racing, Hongjun spoke again.

He looked at Lu Yun indifferently and said, "As long as you join my sect, this wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi will be yours!"

In fact, what Lu Yun had just said, that becoming a Saint required Hongmeng Purple Qi, was naturally incorrect.

The Hongmeng Purple Qi was merely an item required to become a Heavenly Dao Saint.

But Hongjun would not explain this to Lu Yun now; he only wanted to get Lu Yun to accept the Hongmeng Purple Qi quickly, even if it meant refining it directly to prove the Dao and become a Saint!

Because if that happened, Lu Yun would be under the control of the Heavenly Dao, and likewise, within his own sphere of control! And the moment he said this, countless gazes between heaven and earth fell squarely upon Lu Yun.

Except for the six Heavenly Dao Saints like Laozi who were slightly calmer, and the twelve Ancestral Witches who did not care much, almost everyone else had bloodshot eyes.

Powerhouses like Minghe, who were Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Golden Immortals, had sharp killing intent in their eyes, wishing they could immediately replace Lu Yun! After all, they still could not figure out why Lu Yun was able to gain such favor from Hongjun. Hongjun, who had been in seclusion for many years, not only appeared in person to take him as a disciple but also specifically brought out Hongmeng Purple Qi as an initiation gift!

Such generous treatment was something even the Three Pure Ones were jealous of, as they had never enjoyed it themselves!

Not to mention the other great powers, who had all displayed their Supernatural Powers to go to Zixiao Palace to listen to the lectures, and many had even risked their lives.

How could they endure a mere Human Race Golden Immortal like Lu Yun enjoying treatment a thousand or ten thousand times better than theirs?

If it weren't for the fact that Hongjun was still here, many would have already been unable to resist attacking Lu Yun.

And as they looked at Lu Yun, they were shocked to find that faced with such a heaven-sent opportunity, a look of hesitation, doubt, and contemplation appeared on Lu Yun's face!

Seeing this, many people widened their eyes again, their faces showing disbelief, and they almost went crazy.

This guy...

He wouldn't be thinking of refusing, would he? Isn't that being a bit too ungrateful?! However, after everyone went frantic, they suddenly thought that if Lu Yun were truly crazy and refused Hongjun again, wouldn't their own opportunity arrive? For a time, when everyone looked at Lu Yun, they all showed expressions of anticipation, wishing he would refuse directly! Not to mention the many Quasi-Saints, even Saints like Laozi, Yuanshi, and Zhunti had such expectations.

They did not want to see Lu Yun obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi at all, nor did they want Lu Yun to be able to prove the Dao and become a Saint! Laozi was naturally because Lu Yun had a conflict of interest with him.

Yuanshi simply felt that Lu Yun was unworthy, and since the two sides had already become enemies, he did not want Lu Yun to grow up and contend with him.

And Zhunti felt that if Lu Yun became a Saint, it seemed to be of no benefit to his Western Sect, and instead, it would make it inconvenient for them to scheme against Nuwa in the future!

Tongtian, on the other hand, was watching Lu Yun with great interest, thinking to himself that if this Lu Yun became a Saint, the Great Desolation would probably be very lively in the future! He had long been tired of the unchanging nature of the Great Desolation for countless years and hoped for more variables in this world.

If there could be one more person in the Great Desolation with whom he could spar, life would surely become much more interesting! Nuwa, however, was full of urgency, wishing Lu Yun would immediately agree to Hongjun and accept the Hongmeng Purple Qi! As the only female among the six Saints, she had been weak and isolated for these years and really needed a powerful ally!

And what ally could be more suitable than a Saint born from the Human Race she herself had created? Seeing that Lu Yun actually had a tendency to refuse again, she ignored everything else and directly transmitted her voice to Lu Yun: "Lu Yun, this is a peerless blessing; do not let it slip away!"

Although Fuxi also envied Lu Yun for having the opportunity to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he was not jealous because of it and similarly transmitted his voice to persuade Lu Yun.

Lu Yun remained silent in response.

But at this moment, he was asking for everyone's opinion in the Chat Group.

Lu Yun: "Hongjun even took out the Hongmeng Purple Qi to get me to take him as a master; do you all think I should accept it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Transmigration Chat Group fell into a silence, only to suddenly explode with activity immediately after.

Lin Yan: "Sob sob sob, I'm envious, jealous, and hateful!"

Fang Wenjie: "Why isn't the person receiving this kind of treatment me!"

Chen Hai: "The Chat Group is unfair!"

Jiang Ye: "Although I'm not a newcomer, damn it, I feel sour too!"

Liu Chongxiao: "Honestly, you guys don't actually think there isn't a trap with the Hongmeng Purple Qi, do you!"

Xiao Ling'er: "That's right! Don't forget the Heavenly Condemnation Halo! Lu Yun hasn't even finished his Newbie Period yet; this Hongmeng Purple Qi is likely a trap of the Heavenly Condemnation!"

Ming Xi: "Compared to the newbie Heavenly Condemnation we encountered, this kind of trap is something I would beg for!"

……

First to appear were, naturally, the sour and envious words of the newcomers.

However, Lu Yun basically skipped over them all.

He only wanted to trigger some high-level tasks now.

He held no hope for the water-cooler chatter from the newcomers and could only look forward to the veterans offering some suggestions.

Even if everyone was just spouting nonsense, it would be good if it triggered a task! The veterans did not let him down.

Qiu Wanli: "@Lu Yun, don't even think about it, you must refuse! You are someone who is going to become a Saint independently!"

Lin Chen: "Hongjun is so enthusiastic, I feel there must be a trap in this, you must refuse!"

Fang Xu: "Better to refuse! Even if there is no problem with the Hongmeng Purple Qi itself, with your current cultivation, taking it will only bring about a fatal disaster!"

Ling Yan: "I, on the other hand, think that since Hongjun has gone to such lengths, if he is still refused, he might fly into a rage out of shame!"

Yan Lingwei: "That's right! How about this, Lu Yun, you accept the Hongmeng Purple Qi first; it should be fine as long as you don't use it to prove the Dao!"

Lei Hong: "How about you use the Eye of Delusion to sense which is safer, refusing or accepting, Lu Yun?"

……

"Ding! Received suggestion: Refuse the Hongmeng Purple Qi! Reward: One Legendary Treasure Chest!"

"Ding! Received suggestion: Accept the Hongmeng Purple Qi! Reward: One Rare Treasure Chest!"

"Ding! Received suggestion: Discern fortune and misfortune! Reward: One Rare Treasure Chest!"

It's here!

Finally, tasks were triggered again! And there were three of them right off the bat! Lu Yun was incredibly excited inside.

Although some people suggested that Lu Yun accept the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the reward triggered was only a Rare Treasure Chest.

Between the two tasks, he naturally leaned toward choosing the Legendary Treasure Chest with the higher reward! Of course, Lei Hong's suggestion to use the Eye of Delusion to discern fortune and misfortune before making a choice was also very sound; he would have done so even if no one had said anything.

If the Eye of Delusion detected that refusing would lead to a terrifying disaster, he would have to give up even if the reward were higher.

"Many thanks for everyone's suggestions!"

After hurriedly expressing his gratitude in the group, he continued to look thoughtful on the surface, but in reality, he secretly activated the Eye of Delusion and began to sense carefully!

What left him bewildered, however, was that the result of his sensing was that both accepting and refusing were intertwined with fortune and misfortune! This left him somewhat conflicted.

However, this was also fine; it proved that even if he refused, he wouldn't necessarily meet with great misfortune. To get another Legendary Treasure Chest, he would risk it! Thus, Lu Yun suddenly raised his head, looked at Hongjun, grinned, and said: "Many thanks for the Dao Ancestor's high regard! However, I feel that I cannot accept this Hongmeng Purple Qi, so let's forget about the apprenticeship!"

Once these words were spoken, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence once again.

Even those who had previously hoped for Lu Yun to refuse Hongjun felt it was inconceivable at this moment.

Who could have imagined that Lu Yun would actually be so foolish as to really refuse such a heaven-sent opportunity!

Hongjun was also somewhat surprised, but he quickly regained his composure and asked in a flat tone: "Why?"

Lu Yun said confidently: "Because I still wish to prove the Dao independently and do not want to apprentice under anyone! Therefore, you should take this Hongmeng Purple Qi back!"

At this moment, he fully displayed the proud posture of a transmigrator! Even the people in the Transmigration Chat Group, who had been spouting nonsense about him proving the Dao independently, couldn't help but click their tongues when they saw him actually use such an excuse to refuse Hongjun.

At this time, while they were shocked and speechless, only one thought remained in their minds: Is Lu Yun too honest and too willing to listen to advice?

It is said that one must always be on guard against others; even the many veterans in the group would not easily trust anyone.

But what about Lu Yun? His main trait was complete trust! He dared to follow through with even the most suicidal suggestions!

For a moment, even Qiu Wanli, who had taken the initiative to offer the suggestion, couldn't help but feel a bit moved, and even reflected on whether the suggestion he had spouted off earlier was a bit too rash.

Meanwhile, in the Great Desolation, countless mighty figures and powerhouses were almost so angry they could have vomited blood at this one sentence from Lu Yun!
