Chapter 441: Chapter 334: [Opportunity for Enlightenment, Using a Knife to Kill] (Seeking Subscription)_2
Xuanqing, upon hearing this, did not shy away and said, "Daoist! Such strength, yet you remain hidden in the shadows, leaving us restless and sleepless!"
Hongtian Taoist guessed correctly; indeed, it was the Queen Mother of the West who betrayed him. With her meticulous mind, how could she not guard against Hongtian Taoist?
"Teacher!"
Hao Tian was somewhat incredulous.
The Hongtian Taoist before him, despite having seventy percent of Hong Jun’s visage, appeared much younger and lacked the celestial grace of the Primordial Dao Ancestor.
Yet his aura could not be faked, and at the moment Hongtian Taoist appeared, Hao Tian understood the connection between this person and Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun.
The Turquoise Pool was also full of shock.
They had always believed Hong Jun had transcended, yet unexpectedly, like the Golden Cicada shedding its shell, he borrowed the Queen Mother of the West’s power to hide right under their noses... and they hadn’t noticed at all.
If it weren’t for the sudden speech of the Queen Mother of the West today, and Xuanqing revealing Hongtian Taoist’s presence, they truly wouldn’t have known Hong Jun was not dead.
Hongtian Taoist did not pay mind to the saints’ shock, but looked towards the Queen Mother of the West and said, "I’m very curious, how did you manage to get the news out?"
Having leveraged the Queen Mother of the West’s identity to stay hidden, he naturally paid attention to her every move, yet he’d never noticed anything amiss!
Taiyuan Saint Mother saw this and explained to Hongtian Taoist, "I, Nuwa Daoist, Queen Mother of the West Daoist, and Houtu Daoist have a common alias, and naturally have means to deceive everyone!"
In fact, the reason the Three Pure Ones and Xuanqing knew of this matter was because after the Queen Mother of the West told her, she took the initiative to inform Yuanshi Tianzun!
The Queen Mother of the West also knew that collaborating with Hongtian Taoist was akin to seeking skin with a tiger; a slight misstep would place her against the Primordial Saints.
Therefore, upon discovering Hongtian Taoist acting in the name of her disciple in the Primordial, she leaked the presence of Hongtian Taoist.
When Xuanqing and Yuanshi Tianzun learned of this, although shocked, they also knew that the fragments of the "Creation Jade Disc" on the bodies of Shen Gongbao and the Vault of Heaven were taken by Hongtian Taoist.
After deliberation, the two felt it best to remain inactive for the time being.
After all...
At this time, Hongtian Taoist was extremely concerned about karma, striving to eliminate it, along with the continual revival of Chaos Demon Gods, so they did not calculate their differences with him at this moment.
They didn’t want their plans to be sabotaged by also being at odds with Hongtian Taoist while resisting the Chaos Demon Gods!
And now, with many Chaos Demon Gods being dealt with by Pangu’s setups, they also wanted to see exactly what plans Hongtian this fellow had.
Thus, the Queen Mother of the West seized the moment to reveal some secrets, and incidentally, used the power of the saints and Pangu’s arrangements to eliminate this hidden danger.
However, during this period, the Queen Mother of the West also gained many benefits from Hongtian Taoist, advancing her Painting Dao rapidly, acquiring a Chaos Spirit Treasure, and learning many secrets of the Chaos Era.
"Hongtian Daoist, you cannot blame me!"
The Queen Mother of the West opened her mouth seeing this, "If you wish to eliminate karma, there is no issue, but since dying once, of all the vast Primordial World, whose karma is more intertwined with yours than mine? When you are close to transcending, to eliminate karma, I might be the first to be resolved!"
The human heart is unpredictable; the Queen Mother of the West had never let down her guard, even more so firm after learning the magic techniques of Hong Jun.
There’s no way around it!
If one must eliminate karma, what’s quicker than death and the Dao dissipating?
Hong Yun is a preceding example!
Hongtian Taoist cast his gaze over the saints, sighed deeply, and said, "Why? I harbor no malice towards the Primordial World."
Before his words fell, his gaze turned towards Pangu: "Even if I did, the presence of Pangu Daoist is an insurmountable obstacle!"
Xuanqing’s expression remained unchanged, speaking slowly, "None now, but who’s to say in the future! Luo Hou once told me something I very much agree with!"
"I’d like to hear it in full!"
Hongtian was taken aback, not expecting this matter to relate to Luo Hou.
Xuanqing immediately chuckled, saying, "On the road to proving the Dao, aside from advancing bravely oneself, dragging others behind is also a good option!"
"Now, on the path of proving the Dao, apart from Pangu, it’s you, Daoist. How could we possibly ignore your existence?"
"What if after you prove the Dao, you whimsically decide to settle accounts with us?"
Xuanqing never minds presuming the worst intentions in others; with other saints, it doesn’t matter as they can’t surpass his pace in a short time.
But with Hong Jun, the karmic connection is significant, making it hard to relax.
Thus, when Pangu settled various Chaos Demon Gods, he also wanted to settle with Hongtian Taoist, even if unable to erase him completely, finding ways to add obstacles to his path of proving the Dao.
BOOM!
Elsewhere, despite the malevolence of the Great Dao Will targeting, Pangu’s setups still slaughtered over half of the revived Chaos Demon Gods.
The saints, witnessing this, apart from a few like Hao Tian, silently surrounded Hongtian, just silently offering him a sliver of life.
However, that sliver of life, faced with Pangu’s axe.
Indeed!
The saints blocked the void, leaving an opening only where Pangu was.
If Hongtian wished to escape the entanglement with the saints, he had to head in that direction.
"I was careless!"
Hongtian kept his composure; this was his blunder. He hadn’t thought the alias "Immaculate Mother" shared by the Queen Mother of the West, Houtu, Nuwa, and Taiyuan Saint Mother could enable such stealthy communication, leading him inadvertently to his current plight!
Xuanqing took the lead, and once he did, it was with the divine skill of "Reverse Refining Hongmeng," a formidable force that directly rendered the surrounding Chaotic Universe null.
The other saints, apart from Hao Tian and the Turquoise Pool, also acted decisively, unleashing their Great Dao Divine Powers, continuously bombarding Hongtian Taoist.
Their aim was singular: to force Hongtian Taoist to face Pangu.
However, Hongtian Taoist was no pushover. The auspicious clouds above his head shone, the Three Thousand Great Dao emerged, merging with a primordial grand cauldron.
"Primordial Cauldron!"
This was one of the Chaos Spirit Treasures he’d gathered, possessing the ability to suppress Qian Kun and all arts.
BOOM!
Immortal light world-shatteringly burst forth from the "Primordial Cauldron," a faint Immortal Realm appeared, directly swallowing all the saints’ divine powers.
Evidently, the remaining Chaos Demon Gods were being neutralized by backups Pangu left behind. They noticed the saints besieging Hongtian Taoist, leaving only a narrow road of life for him. freewebnøvel.coɱ
However, that thread of life meant facing Pangu.
Hongtian couldn’t maintain his composure, cursed under his breath, and charged directly towards Pangu.
Seeing Pangu advancing, Xuanqing immediately changed his expression, instructing Fu Min to collect the Primordial Saints of the Primordial World with the "Chaos Pearl."
A flash of the chaotic glow appeared and vanished, leaving no trace of the Primordial Saints where they stood.
Using a borrowed knife for murder!
Xuanqing had long planned this, to let Pangu and Hongtian take care of each other!
Currently, the battlefield wasn’t suited for them; better to let it be between Pangu and Hongtian!
Faced with the menacing Pangu, Hongtian Taoist could no longer maintain his composure. Cursing under his breath, he faced Pangu head-on.
He could see Pangu, under the suppression of the Power of the Great Dao, gradually weakening. He might not lack the qualification to fight against him!
