Chapter 106: What Kind of Bizarre Development Is This

"This member of the Human Race is absolutely insane!"

"He is far too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! Is Proving the Dao really that easy to achieve?"

"I, this old ancestor, have been bitterly searching for countless years and still haven't found a way to enter, yet he dares to indulge in such delusional fantasies?"

"What is most hateful is that he actually wants the Dao Ancestor to take back the Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

"Does he even know what he is refusing right now?!"

……

One by one, the mighty figures were on the verge of going mad and losing control.

They truly could not fathom why someone as ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth as Lu Yun could earn the favor of the Dao Ancestor and be gifted the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Fine, even if he didn't want the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he could have let them have it; why make the Dao Ancestor take it back?

If the Dao Ancestor really took it back, where would they ever find hope of obtaining it in the future? For a moment, the mighty figures from all sides were incredibly anxious, wishing they could rush to Hongjun immediately to persuade him not to take back the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Meanwhile, the few Saints around Lu Yun were equally stunned by this response from him.

Yuanshi could not help but look at Nuwa; although he said nothing, his gaze seemed to be asking: Is the Human Race you created born with defective spirits? Otherwise, he truly could not understand how anyone in this Great Desolation could possibly refuse the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Wait, that's not right!

Yuanshi suddenly thought that those Ancestral Witches also had something wrong with their brains; perhaps they would also do such a stupid thing! Then he suddenly understood why Lu Yun had such an intimate relationship with those Ancestral Witches!

So it turns out they all have something wrong with their brains and are birds of a feather?

In fact, after Nuwa heard Lu Yun's words, she was also doubting in her heart whether Lu Yun had gone mad.

If not, how could he give up such a heaven-sent opportunity?

If Lu Yun didn't know what the Hongmeng Purple Qi represented, that would be one thing.

But Lu Yun clearly seemed to know, and she had even explained it all through voice transmission, yet Lu Yun still chose to give it up, which she truly could not fathom.

Thinking back to the intelligence Lu Yun had displayed before, she understood even less what he was thinking.

At this moment, she could not help but say: "Lu Yun, this matter is no child's play; you must consider it carefully before making a decision!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the complexions of Zhunti, Laozi, and the others, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, darkened, and their gazes toward Nuwa became cold!

However, Nuwa ignored them entirely.

Because she was truly too expectant of having another Saint by her side to stand with her!

Not to mention, the rise of Lu Yun would also be of immense benefit to the Human Race! Therefore, she was full of hope that Lu Yun would change his mind.

Unfortunately, she did not know that Lu Yun was feeling quite happy inside at this moment.

Because following his refusal just now, the system had already issued the mission reward to him.

"Ding! You have followed the advice and obtained: one Legendary Treasure Chest!"

Lu Yun quietly glanced at the System Backpack that only he could see, and seeing the two unopened Legendary Treasure Chests that had accumulated without him noticing, he managed with great difficulty to refrain from opening them for the time being.

Afterward, Lu Yun looked at Nuwa and said solemnly: "Many thanks for your concern, Saint Mother, but I have indeed made this decision after careful consideration; please do not try to persuade me further."

"You..."

Nuwa was both angry and anxious for a moment, simply not knowing what to say.

She wanted to lose her temper with Lu Yun, but her reason told her that she could not lose her temper now, but should instead continue to persuade him.

But before she could adjust her mindset to speak again, she suddenly heard Zhunti let out a hearty laugh: "Haha..."

Everyone could not help but look toward Zhunti, only to see him smiling as he said to Hongjun: "Teacher, since this member of the Human Race has such ambition, why not fulfill his wish? I imagine that with his exceptional comprehension, achieving sainthood independently should be a simple matter!"

Nuwa could not help but glare at Zhunti.

How could she not know that Zhunti was speaking with ill intentions?

Zhunti was clearly still plotting against Lu Yun! After all, if Lu Yun became a disciple of Hongjun, he would be their peer in the future, and as a personal disciple of Hongjun, Lu Yun's status would even be above that of Zhunti and Jieyin, who were merely named disciples!

Conversely, if Lu Yun did not become a disciple now, he would still have a chance to take Lu Yun under his wing in the future and scheme for the merit on Lu Yun!

It could be said that almost everyone could see through Zhunti's intentions at a glance.

But Lu Yun himself seemed not to have noticed, instead appearing very grateful for Zhunti's help, bowing to Zhunti to express his thanks: "Many thanks, Zhunti Sheng Ren!"

Zhunti said with a smile: "You are welcome!"

"I..."

Nuwa was once again so angered by Lu Yun that she did not know what to say.

Laozi also spoke with a smile at this time, saying: "This poor Daoist also feels that Teacher could perhaps fulfill Lu Yun's wish!"

Yuanshi hurriedly chimed in, saying: "Indeed, Teacher, since the young man has such fighting spirit, why not let him give it a good try?"

Tongtian felt some disdain for their behavior, but in the end, he said nothing and only looked toward Hongjun.

The gazes of the others also fell upon Hongjun, waiting for him to make a decision.

Especially those powerful figures who had designs on the Hongmeng Purple Qi; they were now wishing that Hongjun would give up on Lu Yun and instead gift the Hongmeng Purple Qi to them!

Under the gaze of everyone, Hongjun looked deeply at Lu Yun, sighed lightly, and said: "Very well! Since you are determined not to become my disciple, then this poor Daoist will naturally not force you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, countless people between heaven and earth breathed a sigh of relief.

Laozi, Zhunti, Jieyin, Baize, and others who did not wish for Lu Yun to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi were even secretly rejoicing one by one.

Nuwa sighed dejectedly, knowing that the matter was settled, and then cast a look of frustration at Lu Yun.

Who would have thought that Lu Yun would actually wink at her, and then smile to thank Hongjun, saying: "Many thanks to the Dao Ancestor for fulfilling my wish!"

In Lu Yun's live broadcast room, the members of the Transmigration Chat Group could not help but sigh when they saw all this.

"I didn't expect Lu Yun to actually refuse Hongjun!"

"The Hongmeng Purple Qi was just given up like that; it's truly a waste of a heavenly treasure!"

"Exactly! Even if Lu Yun didn't want the Hongmeng Purple Qi himself, why not accept it and then upload it to the Points Mall?"

"What are you thinking? That is a manifestation of the laws of the Heavenly Dao; it's useless once it leaves the Great Desolation, so what use would it be to upload it?"

"Do you think Hongjun will really just let it go at that? Why do I have the feeling that he won't give up so easily?" "Come to think of it, I have that feeling too!"

……

The countless great beings of the Great Desolation, having regained their senses at this moment, all began to have their minds stirred.

Clearly, now that Lu Yun had abandoned the Hongmeng Purple Qi, they could naturally begin to set their sights on it.

The Quasi-Saints were all frantically rushing toward Hongjun, wishing they could immediately kneel before him and beg him to bestow the Hongmeng Purple Qi upon them.

But they were, after all, at some distance, and could not arrive in their haste.

Baize, who was near Hongjun, was very close at this moment and quickly began to weigh his words in his heart.

But before he could speak, Zhunti actually took the lead and said to Hongjun, "Teacher, why not hand this Hongmeng Purple Qi to my Western Sect? This disciple will surely select someone with great merit and great fortune to receive it!"

Once these words were spoken, many people gained a new understanding of Zhunti's shamelessness.

This guy not only wanted to target Lu Yun, but he didn't even want to let go of the Hongmeng Purple Qi that Hongjun originally intended to give to Lu Yun!

Yuanshi could not help it any longer, let out a cold snort, and said, "Zhunti, your Western Sect already has two Saints, yet you still want to covet this wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi? Isn't that a bit too shameless?"

Just as Zhunti was about to speak, he suddenly heard another voice from nearby: "That is a fallacy! Although my Western Sect already has two Saints, my West only has two Saints in total, unlike the East, which already has four! Therefore, this object should rightfully belong to my West!"

Zhunti could not help but be overjoyed. He looked toward the direction the voice came from and saw his own senior brother, Jieyin Daoren, had actually arrived at this moment! With his senior brother's help, he had even more confidence in competing for the Hongmeng Purple Qi!

Yet this statement by Jieyin immediately angered the others who wanted to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Whether it was the Three Pure Ones or Nuwa, they were all quickly thinking about how to prevent the West from obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Di Jun, Taiyi, Kunpeng, Minghe, Zhenyuanzi, and others were all desperately accelerating, rushing toward this side, wanting to participate in the struggle for the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Among them, Minghe and Zhenyuanzi, being closer, were the first to arrive nearby.

And Baize, who was already not far from Hongjun, was about to open his mouth to speak.

But before they could speak, Hongjun suddenly said, "Enough, there is no need to say any more!"

The words on the tip of Baize's tongue were suddenly choked back, leaving him flushed red and feeling incredibly uncomfortable.

But neither he, nor the other Quasi-Saint powerhouses who had arrived nearby, nor the several Saints around Hongjun, dared to say anything more; they could only watch Hongjun with eager eyes.

Then they saw that Hongjun's gaze was still fixed on Lu Yun, which made them all feel somewhat uneasy.

Before they could do anything, Hongjun spoke again: "Although there is no master-disciple fate between you and me, this Dao Ancestor sees that your heart for seeking the Dao is so firm, and you have made so many contributions to the Great Desolation, so this wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi shall be your reward! I hope it will be of some help to your future Proving of the Dao!"

As his voice fell, everyone was stunned once again.

This included Lu Yun and the members of the Transmigration Chat Group in his live stream; none of them had expected Hongjun to make such a decision! Even though Lu Yun had already refused twice, causing him to give up the idea of taking a disciple, he still insisted on giving the Hongmeng Purple Qi to Lu Yun!

This was simply even more absurd than Lu Yun refusing to apprentice under Hongjun! The most absurd part was that even though Hongjun no longer required Lu Yun to apprentice and was giving the Hongmeng Purple Qi away for free, Lu Yun still showed a look of refusal and said, "Forget it, Dao Ancestor, this object is really of no use to me. If you must give it to someone, why not give it to the Saint Mother of my Human Race!"

Upon hearing this, Nuwa quickly regained her senses and cast a grateful look toward Lu Yun.

Fortunately, what she had done before had not been in vain. If she could obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi, she would give it to her brother Fuxi to help him Prove the Dao and become a Saint! By then, would anyone in the Great Desolation dare to look down on their siblings? But others had very strong opinions about this.

For instance, Minghe Laozu, who had rushed nearby, shouted from afar: "Dao Ancestor, why not give this Hongmeng Purple Qi to me, Minghe! Minghe will surely strive to Prove the Dao and will absolutely not let the Dao Ancestor down!"

As his voice fell, before Hongjun could react, everyone heard another voice coming from the firmament: "Bullshit! Minghe, what virtue or ability do you have to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

Everyone looked up and discovered that it was actually Di Jun and Taiyi, who had finally arrived nearby after using the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique. The person who had just spoken was none other than the Demon Emperor Di Jun!

After Di Jun's voice fell, Taiyi's voice followed closely: "Big Brother is right! As the Lord of the Heavenly Court and the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race, this Hongmeng Purple Qi should rightfully belong to you!"

The others naturally would not acknowledge their singing in harmony.

Zhenyuanzi sneered and said, "Absurd! This Hongmeng Purple Qi originally belonged to my old friend Hongyun; I am the most suitable person to receive it!"

Just as Zhenyuanzi's voice fell, Kunpeng's voice followed: "Hmph, Zhenyuanzi, if it weren't for that Hongyun in the past, would I have missed the Saint position? The Hongmeng Purple Qi should belong to me!"

Almost all the Quasi-Saint powerhouses were rushing toward this side while loudly declaring that they were the ones who should most rightfully obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Even some Great Luo Golden Immortals were bitterly begging Hongjun to bestow the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

But Hongjun ignored everyone's pleas, and after finishing his words, he suddenly raised his hand and waved.

The next moment, the wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi in his hand flew violently toward Lu Yun, and under the stunned gazes of Nuwa and the other Saints, as well as the countless great beings of the Great Desolation who were rushing over, it directly merged into Lu Yun's body.

Subsequently, Hongjun's figure moved, and he disappeared directly from everyone's field of vision!

Lu Yun was completely dumbfounded.

The others were even more stunned, one by one.

Even the members of the Transmigration Chat Group who were watching the live stream were baffled by Hongjun's sudden action.

After a long while, the barrage in the silent live stream room exploded again.

"Holy shit!"

"What the hell!"

"Is... is this some kind of weird development?!"

"Lu Yun has already refused repeatedly, yet Hongjun can still force the Hongmeng Purple Qi onto him?"

"How come it feels like if Lu Yun doesn't accept the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Hongjun will suffer a huge loss?!"

"There's a conspiracy! There's definitely a conspiracy!"

"Look! I said there must be something wrong with this Hongmeng Purple Qi, otherwise how could Hongjun do this?"

While the members of the Transmigration Chat Group were discussing it all at once, the Great Desolation powerhouses around Lu Yun remained in silence for a long time.

They suddenly began to doubt their own lives!

They did not know how much of a failure they were that the Dao Ancestor would rather force the Hongmeng Purple Qi onto someone who didn't want it than give it to them!
