Chapter 182: Unprecedented Fortune

~14 min read 2,702 words

In the Outer Space, a flash of golden light streaked past.

Taiyi's figure appeared somewhat disheveled as he hurriedly fled back to the Sun Star, a trace of unconcealable shock on his face.

On the Sun Star, the Ten Great Demon Sages had already been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Taiyi return, they stepped forward to greet him one after another, only to be surprised to find that Taiyi's aura was somewhat chaotic and he bore a few wounds on his body.

"Your Majesty Eastern Emperor, what has happened to you?" the Demon Sage Baize asked first, his voice filled with concern.

Taiyi took a deep breath, struggling to calm the agitation in his heart. He looked up at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "This Emperor went to the Wu Clan to investigate the situation, encountered the Ancestral Witch Dijiang, was discovered by him, and was besieged by several Ancestral Witches."

"What?!" The Demon Sages were shocked upon hearing this, looking at Taiyi in disbelief.

"Could it be that the Wu Clan is truly going to attack our Demon Race again?" the Demon Sage Feilian blurted out, his voice carrying a hint of trembling.

Taiyi gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and said, "I did manage to find out this much: the twelve Ancestral Witches have gathered at Pangu Hall, and it is actually because that Lu Yun has entered the Pangu Hall!"

"This..." The Demon Sages were stunned upon hearing this, and then expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces.

"Isn't Lu Yun of the Human Race? How could he possibly enter Pangu Hall?" the Demon Sage Baize asked with a frown.

"I don't know either," Taiyi sighed, "but that is the fact. Moreover, I suspect that Lu Yun may not be a true member of the Human Race, but a spy planted by the Wu Clan within the Human Race, specifically to sow discord between the Human Race and our Demon Race, and thereby destroy our relationship with the Saint Nuwa."

Once these words were spoken, the Demon Sages immediately erupted into an uproar.

They discussed it among themselves, all feeling that this possibility was extremely high.

After all, Lu Yun had always shown closeness to the Wu Clan and hostility toward the Demon Race, and they had already had many suspicions about this before.

However, suspicion was just suspicion; they had never been able to produce any evidence to prove Lu Yun's identity.

Yet, even if they had discovered that something was wrong with Lu Yun again, it would be difficult to mend their relationship with Nuwa now.

Furthermore, what was more important was that they were now facing a greater problem—how to deal with the threat of the Wu Clan.

They did not believe that the twelve Ancestral Witches had suddenly let Lu Yun enter that Pangu Hall just for fun; it was highly likely they intended to create another Ancestral Witch and then launch an attack on their Demon Race.

The Ten Great Demon Sages quickly discussed countermeasures, yet after debating for a long time, they found that they had no good solutions at all.

The strength of the Wu Clan was currently too great, and they had a mysterious place like Pangu Hall as a sanctuary, making it impossible for them to take action even if they wanted to fight to the death.

Just as everyone was at their wit's end, a golden light suddenly flew from the depths of the Sun Star and landed in the council hall.

The golden light dissipated, revealing a figure wearing golden robes with an imposing aura—Di Jun! "Your Majesty Demon Emperor!" the Demon Sages exclaimed, stepping forward to pay their respects.

"Brother!" Taiyi also hurriedly stood up.

They had assumed that Di Jun had come out of seclusion because he had already Proved the Dao and become a Saint.

But after sensing carefully, they were all deeply disappointed, because Di Jun's aura had not changed at all, and if Di Jun had become a Saint, there would inevitably have been signs of becoming a Saint, yet nothing had happened just now.

Clearly, Di Jun had only come out of seclusion early and had not Proved the Dao and become a Saint.

Di Jun nodded slightly, scanned the crowd, and then said, "This Emperor was in seclusion just now and suddenly felt the fortune of the Demon Race plummet, so I came out specifically to check the situation. What exactly is going on?"

Hearing this, both Taiyi and the Ten Great Demon Sages could not help but feel somewhat ashamed.

They felt that there was a hint of complaint in Di Jun's tone, as if he were blaming them for not being able to look after the Demon Race well, leaving him unable to even seclude himself in peace.

"Brother, this matter was once again caused by that Lu Yun!"

Taiyi stepped forward and quickly told Di Jun everything that had happened, along with their speculations.

After listening, Di Jun frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Lu Yun's identity aside, the most important thing for us now is to ascertain the movements and purpose of the Wu Clan. Taiyi, you did the right thing. We should strengthen our investigation and defense against the Wu Clan."

Hearing Di Jun's words, the Demon Sages nodded in agreement one after another.

Thus, under Di Jun's instructions, the Demon Race once again strengthened their investigation and defense against the Wu Clan.

At the same time, they also closely monitored the Primordial Land, preparing to respond to any situation.

Pangu Hall, inside the inner hall.

Lu Yun was still in a state of enlightenment, watching everything before him with focused attention.

He saw Pangu's towering body standing between this newly opened, vast heaven and earth, changing nine times a day, divine in heaven and holy on earth.

As the heaven continuously rose and the earth thickened, Pangu's body also grew continuously. After eighteen thousand years passed like this, the heaven was extremely high, the earth was extremely deep, and Pangu's figure had also become extremely long! He finally completed the great mission of opening heaven and earth!

And Lu Yun also witnessed with his own eyes the evolution of the world and the continuous flow of time and space.

Finally, he saw the moment Pangu's body crashed down—his breath became wind and clouds, his voice became thunder! Pangu's body began to evolve into all things in the world: his left eye became the sun, his right eye became the moon; his limbs and body became the four poles and five sacred mountains; his blood became rivers; his veins became the geography of the earth; his muscles became fields and soil; his hair became the stars; his skin became plants and trees; his teeth and bones became metal and stone; his marrow became pearls and jade; his sweat became rain and dew... The insects on his body, moved by the wind, transformed into the common people! Looking up, Lu Yun saw that Pangu's massive spine had transformed into Mount Buzhou—it emitted a vast divine might, far exceeding the Mount Buzhou in the current Great Desolation! Looking again at Pangu's head, three streams of clear Qi rose up—boundless merit emerged, blessing these three streams of clear Qi to form a huge pagoda! Above the pagoda, Mysterious Yellow Qi circulated unceasingly.

This was the number one defensive supreme treasure of the Great Desolation—the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda! Lu Yun took a deep breath, his heart filled with shock: "This is the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda! It is actually this powerful!"

Thinking that he now stood in opposition to Laozi, who possessed this item, he could not help but look a few more times, wanting to see some clues from it.

However, this pagoda seemed to possess endless profundity and mystery, making it impossible for him to see through its secrets.

Looking again beneath the pagoda, he saw three figures gradually becoming clear.

They were precisely one old, one middle-aged, and one young Taoist; these three figures were naturally the Three Pure Ones!

Lu Yun's heart suddenly stirred: the Three Pure Ones were born, so the twelve Ancestral Witches should have been born too! Sure enough, when he looked at Mount Buzhou, he saw that at Mount Buzhou, where Pangu's heart was located, drops of Pangu Essence Blood fell onto the earth, immediately merging and intertwining with the turbid Qi beneath the ground, rapidly evolving into twelve figures—these were the twelve Ancestral Witches! And just after the twelve Ancestral Witches were born, Pangu's heart suddenly changed rapidly, forming a mysterious hall! Looking at other parts of the Great Desolation, many Innate Sacreds were also being born.

But just as Lu Yun and the members of the Transmigration Chat Group wanted to take a closer look, suddenly—

"Hum!"

Lu Yun only felt his vision go black, and the surrounding scene shattered violently! He had returned to the inner hall from before.

"It's over!"

Lu Yun let out a long breath, and only then did he have the mind to look at the live broadcast room.

At this time, everyone in the live broadcast room was still immersed in the shock of everything they had just seen. "It's finally over!"

"This opening of heaven and earth was too shocking; after watching this, I am simply exhausted in body and mind."

"I couldn't see it clearly enough, so I just had to record it quickly, preparing to watch it slowly later!"

"Everyone recorded it, right? Share it later so we can all contemplate it together!"

Lu Yun felt that his mind was filled with countless Spirit Light, and he wanted to quickly find a place to begin seclusion, digest everything, and then attempt to break through to the next realm of "Star Transformation"—the Qiankun Realm.

Thus, he said in the Chat Group: "Everyone, the live broadcast ends here; I am preparing to go into seclusion!"

The group members expressed their understanding and blessings one after another.

Ming Xi: "It seems Big Brother Lu Yun has gained a great deal and is about to improve his strength again!"

Fang Xu: "We are also going into seclusion; it is just the right time to digest our gains from this trip!"

You Fang: "Wishing Big Brother Lu Yun a smooth seclusion and an early breakthrough!"

Xiao Ling'er: "Indeed, I look forward to seeing Big Brother Lu Yun's brilliance after he emerges from seclusion!"

Yun Yao: "Go for it, Big Brother Lu Yun, we will wait for your return!"

Lu Yun: "Many thanks to everyone, let us all work hard together!"

Afterwards, Lu Yun closed the live stream room and calmed his mind, knowing that if he wanted to leave, he only needed a single thought.

Thus, with a shift of his mind, his figure appeared in the outer hall.

Just as he came out, he saw the twelve Ancestral Witches with their eyes wide open, all staring fixedly at him.

Lu Yun was somewhat stunned and could not help but ask: "Why are you all looking at me with such expressions?"

Ancestral Witch Gonggong's gaze was like a raging wave in an abyss, carrying irrepressible excitement as he looked urgently at Lu Yun: "Brother Lu Yun, what kind of fortuitous encounter did you obtain inside the inner hall?"

Ancestral Witch Zhurong's fiery pupils also burned with endless curiosity, and he followed up by asking: "Indeed, Brother Lu Yun, what exactly did you witness? Why did it cause the great hall to tremble so violently?"

Everyone was like being pulled by invisible threads, with all gazes focused on Lu Yun.

Lu Yun coughed lightly, as if to exhale the shock in his chest: "Actually, it is nothing special; I was just fortunate enough to see the magnificent scene of Pangu the Great God creating the world. It is just... that scene was too profound, and the endless truths it contained left me a bit overwhelmed."

As soon as his voice fell, a sound of gasping for air echoed all around, as if the air itself had frozen at that moment.

"Creating the world!" Ancestral Witch Tianwu exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief.

"You were actually able to witness such supreme mysteries!" Ancestral Witch Xuanming sighed, his tone full of envy.

"No wonder the great hall shook like that; it turns out Father God was demonstrating the miracle of creation for you!" Ancestral Witch Jumang looked enlightened.

The surrounding Ancestral Witches all showed shock, and in their eyes, besides envy, there was an unspeakable heartache, as if they had lost something precious.

Lu Yun looked at these Ancestral Witches, who were usually incomparably majestic but were now acting as uncomposed as children, and could not help but feel bewildered.

He did not quite understand what kind of fortuitous encounter he had seen. He cautiously probed: "Esteemed Ancestral Witches, what I saw... is it a blessing or a curse?"

Hearing his words, the Ancestral Witches present gradually recovered from their shock.

Ancestral Witch Zhurong glared at him and said ungraciously: "You brat, you really are blessed and don't know it! This is naturally a supreme blessing!"

Ancestral Witch Gonggong also nodded in rare agreement: "That's right, this is simply a supreme stroke of fortune! Among us twelve Ancestral Witches, only our eldest brother has ever had the fortune to glimpse the mysteries of the creation of the world!"

Lu Yun blinked in astonishment: "Creating the world... is it really that precious? I thought you could all see it."

Ancestral Witch Jumang shook his head, a profound light flashing in his eyes: "What we can see is only the tip of the iceberg of that vast scene. And you... you witnessed the entire process; such a fortuitous encounter... is simply unprecedented!"

Lu Yun frowned and pondered: "I do seem to have seen a lot... from the birth of Pangu the Great God, to him slaying the three thousand gods and demons, and then him creating the world and transforming into all things. The entire process is still vivid in my mind."

As soon as his voice fell, the twelve Ancestral Witches exclaimed in unison again.

Their eyes were filled with shock and envy, as if they wished they could take his place.

Even Houtu, who had the best relationship with Lu Yun, could not remain calm at this moment.

"You... you actually saw it all!" Ancestral Witch Dijiang said with a trembling voice.

Lu Yun was startled by their reaction: "Wh... what's wrong? Did I see too much?"

Ancestral Witch Houtu could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart: "What do you think? The twelve of us combined haven't seen as much as you! You fellow... you really have had incredible luck!"

Ancestral Witch Xuanming looked toward the direction of the inner hall with a resentful expression: "Father God! Are we just adopted children? Why could this brat see so much!"

Seeing the reaction of the Ancestral Witches, Lu Yun finally understood what kind of fortuitous encounter he had obtained.

He took a deep breath and said: "So that is to say... I have indeed obtained a supreme stroke of fortune?"

"You brat have obtained an unprecedented stroke of fortune!"

The twelve Ancestral Witches roared in unison, their voices seemingly about to shatter the firmament, giving all the Great Witches guarding outside a huge fright.

Seeing the Ancestral Witches acting so uncomposed, Lu Yun felt embarrassed to provoke them further.

He could only ask cautiously: "Um, I would like to find a place to go into seclusion and practice to digest these insights..."

However, the many Ancestral Witches were truly too stimulated by him and had no mood to entertain him at all; one by one, they suddenly found excuses to leave.

They were afraid that if they stayed here any longer, they would be unable to resist giving Lu Yun a beating.

In the end, Lu Yun could only turn his gaze toward Houtu, the only one who remained, and coughed lightly: "Houtu, you will help me, right?"

Houtu sighed softly and could only hurry to arrange a place for his seclusion.
