Chapter 121: Hongjun's Decision! Calculations from All Sides! Nuwa Heads to the Lunar Star!

Wanshou Mountain, Wuzhuang Temple main hall.

Zhenyuanzi hurried back here and immediately activated the mountain-protecting array.

After finishing this, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

He turned and came to sit down under the Ginseng Fruit Tree, feeling incredibly excited in his heart at the thought that he had successfully obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi on this trip.

Although he did not know why it was clearly he who had obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi, yet he had let that Di Jun take the blame, at least the opportunity to become a Saint had now been obtained, and the hope of him avenging Hongyun had finally been seen! Zhenyuanzi secretly thought to himself: "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, rest assured, the day I become a Saint will be the time when I make that Di Jun, Kunpeng, and the others have their souls scattered!"

Just at this moment, he suddenly heard Hongjun's voice, and his expression could not help but change.

"The Dao Ancestor has actually come forward in person? Could there be some unexpected turn of events regarding this matter?"

He was afraid that Hongjun would suddenly want to take back the Hongmeng Purple Qi, letting everyone know that Di Jun did not possess this item, and then he would surely arouse the suspicion of the various powerhouses of the Great Desolation!

If it were known by other Great Desolation powerhouses that the Hongmeng Purple Qi was in his hands, he would not be able to withstand the siege of so many powerhouses!

Thinking of this, Zhenyuanzi immediately sacrificed the Earth Book to observe the situation on the battlefield from afar.

……

Zhulong Ao Yin, the Queen Mother of the West, and Minghe Laozu, their moods at this time were also similar to Zhenyuanzi's.

Naturally, they also each employed their own methods to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

At the same time, they were also each calculating how they would respond if it were truly known that the Hongmeng Purple Qi was in their possession. For them to give up the Hongmeng Purple Qi was naturally impossible!

Then, naturally, they could only hide, or turn to seek refuge with a certain Saint and rely on their protection! Of course, there was one prerequisite for all of this, and that was that Hongjun would not take back the Hongmeng Purple Qi!

Otherwise, whatever they thought of would be in vain! If Hongjun really wanted to take back the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Lu Yun would likely not return the things they had traded away, and then they would suffer a huge loss! ……

Under the gaze of numerous Great Desolation powerhouses, above the East Sea Shore, the misty purple clouds gradually condensed into a human figure in the high sky.

It was precisely a wisp of Hongjun Daozu's will descending.

Although it was only an incarnation of will, his eyes revealed a divine light as deep as the stars of the Cosmos Stage, as if he could see through everything and control the fate of all living beings.

He calmly scanned the crowd on the battlefield, and wherever his gaze passed, except for Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches, the others lowered their heads one after another, not daring to meet his eyes at all.

Hongjun spoke slowly: "You all triggered this great battle for the sake of seizing the Hongmeng Purple Qi, causing the suffering of living beings; this is truly unwise."

This voice was like the sound of nature, yet it carried an irresistible majesty.

Di Jun was far away in the Outer Space, yet he could also hear Hongjun's voice, and his heart also relaxed.

In reality, he also knew that the Zhou Tian Star Formation was not yet complete, and if the battle continued, if the Twelve Ancestral Witches attacked with all their might, the Demon Race would definitely be unable to contend.

At this moment, Hongjun coming forward to mediate happened to coincide with his wishes; his thoughts turned, and he immediately let his voice spread across the wilderness: "Since the Dao Ancestor has said to stop here, my Demon Race will naturally obey."

Taiyi and the others also followed the trend, bowing directly: "We respectfully obey the Demon Emperor's order!"

Immediately, their gazes looked playfully at Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches, their faces seemingly writing, "We gave the Dao Ancestor face, what about you?"

Facing such gazes, the Ancestral Witches were all indignant, but in front of Hongjun, they also knew the price of resistance.

Moreover, the Demon Race side was likely hoping for them to have a conflict with Hongjun, letting them sit back and reap the rewards!

Dijiang finally snorted coldly and was the first to withdraw his own aura; the other Ancestral Witches did the same upon seeing this.

Since they had stopped, the other Great Desolation powerhouses naturally did not dare to fight anymore, each restraining their magic power and putting away their Spiritual Treasures.

Thus, the air on the battlefield finally gradually calmed down as the Supernatural Powers and magic power dissipated.

All living beings breathed a slight sigh of relief; this great battle had already caused massive destruction, and if it continued endlessly, it was feared that more living beings among them would suffer disaster.

Yet, one by one, the Great Desolation powerhouses did not disperse because of this, but instead cast their gazes once again toward Hongjun in the high sky.

In reality, most people had no opinion about stopping the battle.

They only wanted to know how Hongjun would deal with that wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi? In the eyes of many, even if the Hongmeng Purple Qi were taken back by Hongjun, it would at least be better than it falling into the hands of that Di Jun!

Of course, if Hongjun took the Hongmeng Purple Qi back from Di Jun's hands and bestowed it upon one of them, that would be even better! Hongjun looked around, lingering for a moment especially on the few Saints hidden in the shadows, before slowly speaking: "The Primordial World was originally a place where ten thousand races coexisted. You are all top powerhouses within the Great Desolation; from now on, you must prioritize the big picture and put the reproduction of the Great Desolation first! Before the Great Calamity arrives, you must not move to arms for selfish gain, and even more so, you must not trigger unprovoked bloody battles!"

After speaking, his figure began to gradually blur, and the misty purple clouds also gradually merged with the sky and sea, boundless and hazy, as if he had never appeared.

Taiyi, Baize, and other Demon Race powerhouses looked at the figure gradually dissipating in the sky, looked at each other, and both saw excitement in the other's eyes.

They felt that since Hongjun did not indicate that he wanted to take back the Hongmeng Purple Qi, it was just as they had guessed before—he had recognized Di Jun! Did this not mean that Di Jun becoming a Saint was already a sure thing?

Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches also looked at each other tacitly, both seeing the fighting spirit in each other's hearts.

The dignity of the Ancestral Witches could not be challenged! They would definitely find a way to get back at them for today's matter at the appropriate time! Moreover, today's battle was not without gains for them; at the very least, they had figured out some characteristics of the Zhou Tian Star Formation, and they could naturally designate countermeasures later! Immediately, Dijiang greeted everyone: "Let's go, let's go back and continue eating meat!"

The other Ancestral Witches naturally followed one after another, flying together in the direction of the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood.

As for the other Great Desolation powerhouses who were originally full of anticipation, they were naturally all incredibly disappointed.

Subsequently, the numerous Great Desolation powerhouses dispersed one after another, but the waves in their hearts did not subside.

At the same time, the anxious Zhenyuanzi, the Queen Mother of the West, Zhulong, Minghe Laozu, and others saw this scene from afar and immediately set their hearts at ease! The matter had actually developed in the direction they most wanted to see; it was simply too good!

……

In the high sky.

Laozi and Yuanshi looked at each other.

Yuanshi frowned and said, "Elder brother, why don't we return to Kunlun Mountain first!"

Laozi nodded slightly to show his agreement.

They both heard that Hongjun's words just now, besides warning the Witch and Demon races, were actually also warning them, the Saints.

Right now, Lu Yun had handed over the Hongmeng Purple Qi and hidden inside the Mountain and River Map, protected by Nuwa, with the Twelve Ancestral Witches guarding outside the Mountain and River Map; even if they wanted to continue bullying the weak, they had no opportunity.

Moreover, Laozi had already decided to reclaim the Human Race Luck through the method of the Three Pure Ones preaching together, so he could not stay here and waste time now.

After the two finished discussing, they turned around and returned directly to Kunlun Mountain.

At the same time, Laozi also sent a voice transmission to Tongtian, asking him to return together to continue discussing the relevant details of the preaching.

On the other side, Jieyin saw Laozi and Yuanshi leave and did not linger either, but contacted Zhunti and likewise returned to Western Sumeru Mountain to discuss countermeasures. Although this great battle had stopped, this was only a temporary tranquility.

With Di Jun obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the future winds and clouds of the Great Desolation would be even more difficult to predict.

For their Western Sect, this might also be an opportunity; it just depended on whether they could grasp it!

……

In Outer Space, within the Sun Star.

Di Jun looked at the situation on the Primordial Land with the help of a Spiritual Treasure, his face showing excitement that he could not conceal.

But soon, he calmed himself down.

He knew that he had only gained a precious breathing space for the time being.

Whether it was the twelve Ancestral Witch or other powerhouses of the Great Desolation, they would certainly not truly let him become a Saint! He must comprehend the mysteries of the Hongmeng Purple Qi as soon as possible in the coming time to completely consolidate the status of the Demon Race.

Therefore, he had no intention of leaving the Sun Star at all, but decided to go into seclusion right there; he would not come out until he had comprehended the mysteries of the Hongmeng Purple Qi! Of course, before he began his seclusion, he had to summon the high-level members of the Demon Race to give some instructions.

Before long, Taiyi, having heard the news, was the first to arrive at the Sun Star using the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique.

With an excited expression, he congratulated Di Jun: "Congratulations, Brother, the time for Proving the Dao is just around the corner!"

A brilliant smile also appeared on Di Jun's face.

After looking forward to it for many years, he had finally achieved his wish! Not long after Taiyi arrived, the Demon Master Kunpeng also arrived at the Sun Star using the Kunpeng Extreme Speed.

Relatively speaking, Kunpeng's mood at this moment was not so beautiful.

After all, he was also full of anticipation to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

It was just that he could not defeat the two brothers, Di Jun and Taiyi, at all, so he could only suppress the restless emotions in his heart and reluctantly congratulate Di Jun: "Congratulations to the Demon Emperor for achieving your wish!"

Di Jun laughed and said: "This time, it is also thanks to the Demon Master and all the Demon Saints. Demon Master, rest assured, after this Demon Emperor Proves the Dao and becomes a Saint, I will certainly not treat you all unfairly!"

"Many thanks, Demon Emperor!"

Kunpeng could only force a few smiles onto his face.

Subsequently, the Ten Great Demon Sages, including Baize, also arrived one after another, all expressing their congratulations to Di Jun.

Di Jun accepted them gladly, and then solemnly stated: "Next, this Demon Emperor will go into seclusion to cultivate and comprehend the Hongmeng Purple Qi with all my might! Matters concerning the Demon Race will be temporarily left to Taiyi, the Demon Master, and all the Demon Saints."

Kunpeng, Baize, and the others all nodded in agreement.

"Brother, rest assured, we will definitely do our best; you can just focus on comprehending the Dao," Taiyi said in a deep voice.

Di Jun nodded, feeling very satisfied with this.

Then, he turned and walked toward a radiant hall under the Fusang Tree; that was his place of seclusion and also the place where he would comprehend the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Entering the place of seclusion, Di Jun immersed his whole self under the brilliant divine light emitted by the Fusang Tree. Holding that strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi, he closed his eyes and began to comprehend it carefully.

After this, Taiyi and the others retreated one after another, beginning to arrange various affairs inside and outside the Demon Race to ensure that the interior of the Demon Race remained stable during Di Jun's seclusion and that there was sufficient deterrent power against the outside.

At the same time, they naturally had to strengthen the defenses of the Sun Star and even blockade the entire Outer Space to ensure that Di Jun would not be disturbed during his seclusion.

At the same time, Zhenyuanzi, the Queen Mother of the West, Zhulong, and Minghe also chose to begin their seclusion.

They all unanimously believed that they were the lucky ones who had obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi! As for why the Demon Race side thought that Di Jun had obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi, they felt that it must have been Nuwa who hoodwinked Di Jun!

After all, Di Jun had previously schemed against the Human Race and dealt with Lu Yun; it was normal for Nuwa to do such a thing to appease Lu Yun, who had made great contributions to the Human Race.

As for the specifics, they had no heart to think about it now.

They only wanted to hurry and comprehend the secret of the Purple Qi before Di Jun discovered he had been hoodwinked and before others suspected that they had obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

By then, as long as they Proved the Dao and became Saints, they could amaze the Great Desolation! Full of anticipation, they all began their seclusion, yet none of them knew that there were others in the Great Desolation who felt the same way!

Inside the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Nuwa, who was guarding beside Fuxi, witnessed the entire process from the moment Hongjun appeared until he left.

She also saw the departure of Laozi and the others.

Only then did she completely set her heart at ease, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

This smile was both for her brother having more time to comprehend the Hongmeng Purple Qi and for Lu Yun having more time to improve his strength!

According to Lu Yun's speed of improvement and her various kinds of help, she thought that Lu Yun should be able to step into the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm very soon! Once he achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, relying on the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Lu Yun could be much safer when walking the Great Desolation in the future.

Plus the protection of herself, Fuxi, and the twelve Ancestral Witch, she thought Lu Yun would have no safety problems!

Originally, Nuwa had intended to see how Lu Yun was cultivating and wanted to give Lu Yun some suitable cultivation resources to help.

But she discovered that after Lu Yun took control of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, he had completely concealed his own aura, so even she could not perceive Lu Yun's condition.

"Forget it, if this guy has any needs, I suppose he will take the initiative to tell me!"

Nuwa stopped worrying about Lu Yun's affairs, but instead suddenly thought of another matter.

That was the matter Lu Yun had entrusted her with previously to play matchmaker.

Nuwa suddenly felt that she should hurry up with this matter!

After all, Di Jun and the others had almost suffered a great loss just now because the Zhou Tian Star Formation was incomplete, and now they would certainly find ways to further perfect the array.

And marrying the master of the Lunar Star and incorporating the Lunar Star into the array was naturally a key step! If she went late and Xihe and her sister happened to agree to Di Jun, that would not be very good.

Thinking of this, Nuwa had a plan in her heart: "Since that is the case, I will take advantage of the fact that the twelve Ancestral Witch are still guarding nearby for the time being and head to the Lunar Star to talk to Xihe and the others about this matter!"

Thinking of this, Nuwa glanced at Fuxi, who was immersed in comprehension, moved her body, and quietly left the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
