297. Chapter 297: The Saints Create the Tianyuan World? An Opening Act! As If!

"All living beings of the Great Desolation, listen to my words!"

Hongjun's voice descended like heavenly might, resounding throughout the entire Great Primordial Three Realms, causing everyone to involuntarily stop what they were doing and look up toward the sky.

"Today, I, along with the Saints, shall create a new Great World above the Heavenly Realm, named 'Tianyuan,' to become a new heaven and earth outside the Great Desolation. I invite you all to witness this grand event together!"

As Hongjun's words fell, the entire Great Desolation seemed to be shaken by an invisible force.

One could see auspicious clouds gathering and radiant energy steaming above the horizon, as streaks of mysterious light spilled down from the sky, illuminating the entire Great Desolation as if it were a fairyland.

The masses looked up one after another, able to see the strange spectacle within the Chaos beyond the domain directly.

"Is this... Hongjun Daozu about to create a new world?"

"Heavens, such means are simply beyond imagination!"

"Hongjun Daozu is truly unfathomable!"

"I wonder how this Tianyuan the Dao Ancestor speaks of differs from the Dao Fields previously opened by the Saints?"

"Since the Dao Ancestor and the Saints are creating it together, it must be different!"

The living beings within the Great Desolation discussed it fervently, their faces filled with shock, awe, and anticipation.

Meanwhile, Nuwa, Houtu, and the others had their brows tightly locked, their expressions indignant.

"Hongjun is doing this on purpose!" Nuwa said angrily. "He chose to announce the creation of a new world at this very moment; he is clearly targeting our Honghuang Genius Competition!"

Houtu's face was also livid: "Indeed, he wants to use this to distract us and weaken the influence of our competition!"

The others nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

They naturally understood the intention behind Hongjun's move, and they could not help but feel more dissatisfaction and vigilance toward him.

However, Lu Yun did not show the slightest panic or worry. A faint smile curled at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes flickered with confidence and composure.

"No matter," he said softly. "Since Hongjun Daozu is so generous as to prepare an opening act for everyone before the competition begins, let us watch together and see what the Saints of the Heavenly Dao Faction have prepared for us."

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, then realized that Lu Yun was mocking Hongjun.

Yet, they had to admit that Lu Yun's words did indeed calm the anger and dissatisfaction in their hearts slightly.

Thinking about it carefully, there was no other choice at the moment.

After all, being able to see the grand feat of the Heavenly Dao Faction's Saints creating a new world was a rare experience for both the contestants and the spectators within the Three Realms.

They could not exactly force everyone to ignore Hongjun and continue focusing on the competition!

Thus, everyone adjusted their mindset and prepared with great interest to watch this sudden "opening act."

The spectators and contestants naturally had even fewer objections.

Inside the Transmigration Chat Group, as the news of Hongjun Daozu announcing the creation of the "Tianyuan" world arrived, it immediately exploded, with group members discussing it fervently and expressing their own views.

Jiang Ye: "Holy crap! What is Hongjun trying to do? Joining other Saints to create a new world at a time like this, is he trying to show off his strength?"

Liu Chongxiao: "Hongjun's move is likely not as simple as just showing off his strength. Choosing to announce it on the eve of the Honghuang Genius Competition is clearly meant to distract us and make things difficult for Boss Lu Yun."

Xiao Ling'er: "That's right, this old man Hongjun is truly cunning. However, I believe Boss Lu Yun has his own countermeasures."

Fang Wenjie: "What do you think, how is this 'Tianyuan' world different from the previous Saint Dao Fields?"

Lei Hong: "I suspect that this 'Tianyuan' world is likely a more perfect and powerful world constructed by the combined strength of multiple Saints. It not only represents the strength of the Heavenly Dao Faction but may also be an important bargaining chip for them to confront Boss Lu Yun in the future."

Ming Xi: "In that case, won't the strength of the Heavenly Dao Faction be even greater? Will Boss Lu Yun face even more pressure?"

You Fang: "Don't worry, Boss Lu Yun never fights an unprepared battle. Since he can calmly call this an 'opening act,' he must already have a plan in mind."

At this moment, Lu Yun himself also popped up in the group, his tone relaxed and confident: "Everyone need not worry too much. Although Hongjun's move is unexpected, it is within my expectations. The more he does this, the more it proves that our direction is correct. As for the 'Tianyuan' world, it is merely a new stage; the real contest is yet to come."

Within the Chaos, inside Zixiao Palace.

The Saints were somewhat displeased to hear Lu Yun describe their actions as an opening act.

However, before they could say anything, Hongjun's voice rang in their ears: "Saints, act quickly!"

Following Hongjun's command, the Saints of the Heavenly Dao Faction, including Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and Zhunti, all took action. Their figures flickered, turning into streams of light as they sped toward their respective Dao Fields.

Inside the Taiqing Sacred Realm, Laozi closed his eyes and focused, his hands slowly forming seals. He was surrounded by Mysterious Yellow Qi, the Chaos Qi from before the heaven and earth were separated, containing supreme Dao rhyme. With a thought, the mountains, rivers, plants, and spirit beasts within the Taiqing Sacred Realm seemed to sense his will, blooming with dazzling light and transforming into streams of pure power that gathered in his palms.

Within the Yuqing Sacred Realm, Yuanshi Tianzun held the Pangu Banner, his figure as upright as a pine. He waved the Pangu Banner lightly, and suddenly, a roar like that of the creation of the world seemed to echo between heaven and earth. Streams of majestic law power surged from the banner, merging with the power within the Yuqing Sacred Realm to form a vast torrent.

In the Shangqing Sacred Realm, Tongtian Jiaozhu pointed his sword toward the firmament, his eyes flashing with sharp sword intent. He shouted, and suddenly ten thousand swords rang in unison, their sword light like dragons, tearing through the sky and intertwining with the thunder power within the Shangqing Sacred Realm to transform into a world-destroying torrent of Sword Dao.

Inside the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the two Saints Jieyin and Zhunti stood side by side. They pressed their palms together, chanting incantations as golden light shone everywhere and golden lotuses covered the ground. Countless disciples of the Western Sect within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss prayed devoutly, their power of vows gathering into a river that merged with the magic power of the Western Two Sages to form a force that was both compassionate and majestic.

Within the Beiming Sacred Realm, the two Saints Kunpeng and Minghe each drove their magic power. The endless seawater within the Beiming Sacred Realm and the Nether energy within the Nether Blood Sea seemed to respond to their summons, transforming into surging forces that gathered before them.

The power of the five great Saints' Dao Fields gathered rapidly in the Chaos. With Zixiao Palace as the center and under Hongjun's guidance via the Creation Jade Slip, they intertwined and merged to form an unprecedentedly majestic force. This force seemed capable of shaking heaven and earth and overturning the Universe Stage, causing the entire Great Desolation to tremble.

Under the gaze of the masses, Zixiao Palace shone brilliantly. Countless mysterious runes and laws intertwined, appearing as if they possessed life, dancing in the Chaos and weaving into a massive net. This net gradually expanded, enveloping the entire Heavenly Realm so that all living beings within the Great Desolation could feel this great power from the Heavenly Dao.

As time passed, this net woven from Heavenly Dao Law became increasingly solid, finally transforming into a vast and boundless new world—the Tianyuan World.

Within this world, mountains were magnificent and cloud seas surged. It possessed both the cold elegance of the Yuqing Sacred Realm and the sharp sword intent of the Shangqing Sacred Realm; it had both the compassion and peace of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and the depth and remoteness of the Beiming Sacred Realm. Amidst all these sights, the Mysterious Yellow Qi of the Taiqing Sacred Realm was faintly revealed, filling the entire Tianyuan World with mystery and harmony. The birth of the Tianyuan World shocked all living beings of the Three Realms.

They looked up toward the sky one after another, their eyes filled with awe and wonder. The deeper one's cultivation, the more intense the shock was at this moment.

After all, this was not only a display of the strength of the Heavenly Dao Faction's Saints but also a profound understanding and application of the Great Dao Law.

Only those with higher realms could see more mysteries and shocks.

"Success!"

The Saints of the Heavenly Dao Faction showed joy on their faces; they had successfully created a brand-new world. This was not only a proof of their strength but also a huge boost for the Heavenly Dao Faction.

What made them even more delighted was that with the birth of the Tianyuan World, the Heaven, Earth, and Humanity of the Great Desolation all sensed it and bestowed merit rewards upon them.

For a time, the Saints located at the center of the Tianyuan World, surrounding Zixiao Palace, were submerged in Merit Golden Light.

Seeing this scene, the living beings of the Great Desolation were shocked and envious once again.

Laozi and the others all felt very satisfied; they were especially happy to discover that the fortune of their respective sects had greatly increased.

However, there was not the slightest bit of relaxation or joy in Hongjun's heart.

Because he could feel the cold gaze and faint mockery coming from Lu Yun's side, which made an inexplicable fire surge in his heart.

"Lu Yun, don't you get cocky!" Hongjun thought to himself, "Once I find your lair, I will definitely eradicate you completely!"

Yet, on the surface, he could only pretend that nothing was the matter and continue discussing with the Saints of the Heavenly Dao Faction how to further perfect the Tianyuan World. After all, he could not let the people of the Heavenly Dao Faction see the panic and unease in his heart.

Meanwhile, Lu Yun stood atop Shouyang City, watching the changes in the sky with indifference.

"Hongjun, oh Hongjun, you played this hand quite well," Lu Yun pondered to himself, "However, if you think this can shake my layout, then you underestimate me too much."

His gaze swept over the seething crowd below and the countless viewers within the Yuanling Immortal Net, and a surge of ambition rose in his heart.

"Fellow contestants and audience friends, the warm-up program is over; the competition is about to begin."

Lu Yun's voice resounded once again throughout the Great Primordial Three Realms, "Let us witness this grand event belonging to the Great Desolation together. The Hongmeng Purple Qi is already prepared; it just depends on who among you has the ability to obtain it!"

As Lu Yun's words fell, the gazes that had originally been attracted by Hongjun's creation of the "Tianyuan" world instantly refocused on the Honghuang Genius Competition that was about to begin.

After all, although the birth of the so-called Tianyuan World was shocking, it was ultimately very distant for most people; what they cared about more now was what kind of brilliance this competition would stage, and who would be lucky enough to seize the Saint position! Before Shouyang City, over nine thousand contestants had firm gazes and momentum like a rainbow.

The upcoming competition was absolutely the most important contest of their lives; the winner would have the opportunity to obtain that supreme glory, the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and achieve the position of a Saint.

"A final reminder to all contestants: once you encounter an enemy or danger you cannot resist, as long as you shout that you give up the competition, you can naturally leave the arena!"

"Now, the competition begins!"

At Lu Yun's command, a massive spatial rift suddenly tore open above Shouyang City, as if it were a portal leading to another world.

The contestants successively unleashed their magic treasures, their figures turning into streams of light, and they charged into the spatial rift without hesitation, beginning their journey.

At the same time, the Yuanling Immortal Net also began to boil. Countless viewers watched the entire process of the competition through the Yuanling Immortal Net as if they were there in person, each one holding their breath and concentrating.

Even Nuwa, Houtu, and the others beside Lu Yun were now focusing on the people they each cared about.

Lu Yun stood in the void, watching everything below with deep eyes, his attention falling on the members of the Transmigration Chat Group.

"Let me see which of you can stand out in this contest," Lu Yun thought to himself.

……

Fuxi entered the Secret Realm together with the other contestants.

But in just an instant, he felt that everyone else had disappeared, and he himself had appeared in a dark jungle.

What made him feel slightly at ease was that his mount, Xiao Qilin, was still with him.

Fuxi and Xiao Qilin looked at each other, both seeing vigilance and caution in the other's eyes.

"Huolin'er, let us proceed with caution," Fuxi instructed in a deep voice, while simultaneously releasing his divine sense to carefully probe the surrounding environment.

Xiao Qilin nodded, its figure moving nimbly through the jungle to clear the way for Fuxi. Its gaze was sharp as lightning, constantly alert to the dangers that might be hidden all around.

The two and the beast moved slowly through the jungle and soon encountered some dangers, including ferocious Great Desolation exotic beasts blocking the path and complex array traps. But Fuxi and Xiao Qilin, relying on their respective wisdom and strength, resolved these crises one by one.

However, just when they thought everything would proceed smoothly, a powerful aura suddenly came from the depths of the jungle.

This aura contained vast power of laws; it was clearly a formidable expert.

"Careful, a strong expert is approaching!" Fuxi frowned and warned in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qilin's figure paused abruptly, then it turned into a stream of light and blocked in front of Fuxi. Its gaze was like a torch, staring fixedly at the direction of the aura coming from the depths of the jungle, ready to deal with any incoming attack at any time.

Just then, a figure carrying a large blade slowly walked out from the depths of the jungle.

It was an Asura Race expert dressed in black robes; his face was ugly, and his eyes were like deep, cold pools, revealing icy killing intent and an arrogant air that looked down on everything.

"Hmph, a mere Human Race Golden Immortal dares to come and participate in the Honghuang Genius Competition? Truly overestimating yourself! If you don't want to die, surrender immediately!" The Asura Race expert sneered, his tone full of disdain and contempt.

As soon as these words were spoken, before Fuxi could say anything, Huolin'er spoke up angrily: "You Asura, you look ugly, but you think quite beautifully! If you want us to surrender, you'll have to see what kind of ability you have!"

"Seeking death!"

The Asura Race expert was furious; he roared and charged toward Fuxi and Xiao Qilin, the blood-red large blade on his back suddenly unsheathed, as if it had torn through the void in an instant to slash at Fuxi! (End of chapter)
