Honghuang: I am Qitian and I want to fight for the throne

Chapter 469 The Lost Owner of the Underground Passage of Power
Don't overthink it!

Pangu shook his head and said, "When you have reached the strength, come back to this 'wasteland' and everything will be revealed. Now I will send you back!"

"Senior! Wait! I still need to..."

Filled with doubt, Qi Tian was eager to ask more questions, but Pangu did not give him another chance to ask.

A casual wave.

There was no fluctuation of power, nor any manifestation of laws.

But Qi Tian felt an irresistible yet incredibly gentle and abundant power instantly envelop his entire body.

The profound Ruins before my eyes, along with Pangu's imposing figure, were like a canvas wiped away by an invisible giant hand, instantly distorted, blurred, and disappeared!
Swish!
The dizziness vanished abruptly, and a familiar, hard sensation returned to my feet.

The moist air, mixed with the unique fragrance of plants and trees of Huaguo Mountain, wafted over us, and the deafening roar of the waterfall and the faint sounds of monkeys playing filled our ears once again.

Qi Tian's vision was restored.

Sunlight shines through the cascading waterfall, refracting into a rainbow of colors in the mist.

The familiar water curtain and waterfall were exactly the same as before he left.

Huaguoshan!
It returned silently.

However, before Qi Tian could react, Pangu's voice suddenly rang in his mind again:

"I have nothing to help you with, only some insights about power to pass on to you. I hope you can quickly understand your true self!"

Qi Tian stood there, stunned, for a long time without moving.

It was as if the shocking experience of being in the Eye of the Ruins and facing the lingering resentment of Pangu was just a bizarre and fantastical dream, yet so real that it made one's heart tremble.

But Qi Tian knew that it was not a fantasy.

But really!

Because a mysterious "power" pattern appeared in his mind.

Just one glance was enough to cause the laws of his internal energy to tremble slightly.

"...Dominate...half a kalpa..."

Qi Tian frowned deeply.

He did not immediately comprehend the Dao pattern of "Power".

Instead, we recall Pangu's eyes, which held the very essence of the universe's birth, death, and reincarnation, and the heavy expectation of entrusting eternity to him.

And then there's that earth-shattering statement, "You are the plate," which resonates deeply.

"Billions of lifetimes of reincarnation? The 'disk' of the Lord of All Paths?"

Qi Tian asked himself the question, but received no answer.

In his previous life, he was Shen Qitian, a human. In this life, he is Lingming Stone Monkey, the inheritor of the Chaos Demon Ape. His memories of these two lives are crystal clear, without any other traces.

but,

Pangu's statement, "Insufficient strength, unawakened true source," points to the ultimate comprehension of the law of power.

"The realm of half a step into the Great Dao... is that a threshold?"

Qi Tian's mind raced.

Pangu's lingering resentment exhausted itself, frightening away the Sovereign. The time he bought was his last chance to breathe, and that of the entire primordial world.

Breaking through to the Dominator realm? Easier said than done!

Even with the enlightenment of "power" from the legend of Pangu, it is impossible to achieve it overnight.

He still needs to work hard and plan for it himself.

In the memories inherited by the Chaos Demon Ape, even the mighty power of Pangu in creating the world did not lead him to the status of a ruler.

Only after his body had transformed into all things did his lingering thoughts say, "I have indeed ascended to that realm." How many hardships must have been involved in that journey?
The pressure, unprecedented pressure, was like an invisible shackle, tightly binding Qi Tian's heart.

"The Law of Power... The World Tree..."

A fierce flame of defiance burned deep within Qi Tian's golden eyes.

Being confused is useless, and retreating is also useless!
Only power, absolute power, is the key to breaking the deadlock!
He not only wanted to seize half of the Heavenly Dao Origin from Hongjun, but also wanted to refine the World Tree completely as soon as possible.

Using this as the core, we can accelerate the deduction of the laws of force.

however,
Just as Qi Tian was preparing to go into seclusion to comprehend Pangu's "power"—

Swish!
A golden figure suddenly appeared inside the Water Curtain Cave.

With dazzling golden feathers and sharp, lightning-like eyes, he was none other than his prized disciple, the Golden Roc who wielded thirty percent of the Earthly Origin!
"Master!"

Jin Peng's aura was restless, his face showing urgency, disbelief, and surprise.

Completely different from his usual arrogance and composure.

Qi Tian's gaze sharpened, and he instantly suppressed the thought of going into seclusion.

Jin Peng's expression clearly indicated that something big had happened!

"What's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"

Qi Tian asked in a deep voice, his voice not loud, but it carried a calming power, which slightly soothed Jin Peng's slightly agitated aura.

"Whoo~"

Jin Peng took a deep breath, forcibly calming himself down, and then spoke very quickly:

"Master, please forgive me! I did not mean to disturb your meditation. It's just that when I was communicating with the source of the earth and comprehending the power of the laws, I suddenly sensed through my source... that there seems to be some unusual activity in the underworld!"

"Unusual movement?"

Qi Tian frowned slightly:

"What kind of strange activity is this? Could it be that Yue Chan, Tai Chu, and Yue Ji are up to their tricks again?"

This was the first thing that came to his mind.

"Not them!"

Jinpeng shook his head, confusion flickering in his golden pupils:

"This disciple can't quite put my finger on what it is! And because of that Moon Zen, I dare not investigate further, but there's a strange feeling that something has happened in the underworld!"

"Oh?"

Qi Tian stood up, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

They were also making calculations, but hadn't figured anything out.

"Let's go take a look!"

Qi Tian's mind raced with thoughts, but he did not set off immediately.

With a flick of his wrist, a crystal heart radiating a hazy nine-colored brilliance, surrounded by folded and decaying space, appeared in his palm.

Then, without hesitation, he tossed it to Jin Peng:
"This is Yang Mei's Chaos Treasure, the Heart of Space. It's yours! Refine it now, and I will lend you a hand!"

"Thank you for your generous gift, Master!"

Jin Peng received the Heart of Space with both hands, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

He knew all too well how precious this item was!
A treasure of chaos!
It is on the same level as the Golden Cudgel in the hands of the Master and the Causal Mirror of the Eldest Brother.

It is one of the most powerful magical artifacts in this world.

"This disciple will certainly not disappoint you!"

Without wasting words, Jin Peng immediately sat down cross-legged and placed the Space Heart between his eyebrows.

A powerful surge of primordial spirit energy erupted, combining with its own primordial earth energy to begin refining the core of this spatial treasure.

Qi Tian also used the power of the Law of Power and the power of the Heavenly Dao to help suppress the spirit of the Space Heart.

So that the Golden Roc can be easily refined.

Several years later, Jin Peng suddenly opened his eyes.

Golden light surged in his eyes, and the space around him rippled like water.

The core of space has been initially refined; the rest will require time and effort.

"Thank you Master!"

Jin Peng sounded excited.

Qi Tian waved his hand and gave the order:

"Now that you have refined it, combine the power of the spatial core with the power of the earth's origin to open a spatial passage that leads directly to the core of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Do not disturb Yue Chan; let's secretly go and see what has happened in the Underworld!"

"Yes!"

Jin Peng let out a low shout, his hands forming an incomparably profound hand seal. The Heart of Space shone with a dazzling nine-colored radiance from between his brows, intertwining with the earthy yellow primordial power surging from his body, carrying the weight of the earth and the mysteries of reincarnation.

scoff!

The space inside the Water Curtain Cave seemed to be slowly torn apart by an invisible hand.

A deep, mysterious passage, its edges shimmering with nine-colored light and earthen-yellow Daoist charm, appeared silently before the master and disciple.

At the other end of the passage, a strong fluctuation of the law of reincarnation emanated.

"Master, it's done!"

"go!"

Qi Tian let out a low shout, his magical power surging around him, perfectly concealing his own aura and that of the Golden Roc, like two shadows merging into the void, and stepped into the spatial passage.

When it reappeared, it was already inside the six realms of reincarnation in the underworld.

"Something's wrong!"

As soon as he entered the Underworld, Qi Tian felt an extremely strong sense of disharmony!

The underworld seemed to be missing something to him.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Master! Can you feel it?"

Just then, Jin Peng couldn't help but speak up.

The voice was filled with disbelief and astonishment:
"The seventy percent of the Earthly Origin Power that was not under the control of the disciples has become ownerless! It is no longer bound by any will imprint! It is like... like the primordial origin that has just been born!"

boom! ! !
Jin Peng's words were like a final, heavy blow, striking Qi Tian's mind!
"Unclaimed?"

Qi Tian's body trembled, and he instantly realized what was happening.

"Yuechan has fallen?"

This thought immediately reminded him of the time when the remnant will of Pangu inside the Eye of the Ruins had startled the four sovereigns' avatars!
"Could it be that after Pangu's remnant spirit frightened away the Sovereign, it did something to Yuechan and the other two who remained in the Underworld? Annihilated them?"

"Or is it that the Primordial Ruler, after retreating, out of fear of Pangu's lingering will, ordered the recall of Yuechan and the other two?"

"Or perhaps, the three of them, Yuechan, sensed the danger themselves and thus voluntarily abandoned their conquest of this realm and left?"

Countless thoughts collided and unfolded in Qi Tian's mind.

But soon, all doubts and speculations were replaced by conviction and joy!

The reason is no longer important!
Whether it was the remnant spirit of Pangu making a move, the Sovereign recalling them, or Yuechan and the others being terrified themselves!

The important result is—

That crucial 70% of the original source of the earth is currently without a master!
This means that Jin Peng, the disciple who controls 30% of the Earthly Origin, has gained a once-in-a-millennium, even unprecedented, opportunity—

Refine the seventy percent of the unclaimed source of the earth's origin and become the sole controller of the earth's origin in the underworld!
A true and authentic spokesperson!
"Whoo~"

Qi Tian took a deep breath and did not immediately leave the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Instead, he unleashed his primordial spirit power, sweeping across the entire underworld, carefully sensing whether anything was amiss or if there were any conspiracies or schemes.

Caution is paramount!

Half a day later,
Qi Tian's face relaxed, and then he looked at Jin Peng:

"Your senses are correct. For some reason, Yue Chan abandoned the Earthly Dao Origin and left. As long as you completely refine that 70% of the Earthly Dao Origin, you can ascend to the position of Earthly Dao Supreme and control the Underworld!"

After saying that, Qi Tian directly carried the Golden Roc out of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and appeared in the sky above the Underworld.

"Let's begin refining it now, lest something go wrong and you need me to protect you!"

"As ordered!"

Jin Peng did not hesitate at all.

He sat cross-legged, his hands quickly forming hand seals, and the spatial core between his eyebrows and his own earthly source power erupted completely!

Om-!
A massive, primordial hand bearing the imprint of the Golden Roc's will suddenly reached into the depths of this cycle of reincarnation, before quickly withdrawing again.

However, he now had something extra in his hand.

A beating, earthy-yellow heart.

It was the seventy percent of the original earth elemental power that Yue Chan had previously refined!

It is now unclaimed.

"Om~"

Jinpeng's primordial spirit power surged forth, enveloping the Earthly Origin Heart, and then he began to sit cross-legged in the void and refine it.

Qi Tian, ​​who was standing nearby, saw Jin Peng completely absorbed in refining the material and immediately showed a look of joy on his face.

He then sat cross-legged to the side and began to guard it.

"As long as Jinpeng succeeds, the entire underworld, the six realms of reincarnation, billions of ghosts, and endless Yin lands... will all be under the control of Flower Fruit Mountain!"

Qi Tian pondered in his heart, his eyes gleaming.

What a magnificent and boundless fortune that would be!

What a pure and immense power of faith!
Not only can it increase his speed of comprehending the law of "force", it can also increase the speed of refining the World Tree!

"Now, of the thirteen Heavenly Saints, only Xuanling and Su Daji remain. But it won't be long; at most one Yuanhui, they will surely return to their positions! At that time..."

A sharp glint flashed in Qi Tian's eyes, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of spatial barriers, landing on the Purple Cloud Palace beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens:
“Jinpeng must have completely refined the origin of the Earthly Dao, becoming the sole and complete representative of the Earthly Dao, and in charge of the entire Underworld! His strength is definitely not much weaker than mine.”

"Then it will be time to join forces against Hongjun! That half of the Heavenly Dao Origin in his possession... must be seized as soon as possible! At that time..."

"The entire primordial Three Realms, apart from the human race and the human way, the Heavenly Way and the Earthly Way are all under the control of my Flower Fruit Mountain! This can further assist my plans!"

"Fuxi..."

Qi Tian silently recited in his heart.

Once one has mastered the two paths of Heaven and Earth, or made a breakthrough in the law of "force," one must make this journey.

If we can "persuade" Fuxi to submit humanity and the human race to Huaguo Mountain, and gather the power of the three realms, we can break through to the half-step Great Dao realm within a few cycles, with a success rate of over 90%!

Moreover, the World Tree can be refined almost as well.

At that time, even when facing the ruler, they would not be as powerless to resist as before, and would be at the mercy of others!

As for achieving the true realm of dominion after half a kalpa?
He still had no confidence whatsoever.

but,

Pangu's lingering thoughts said that once he fully comprehended the Law of Power and achieved half a step into the Great Dao, he could go to the Eye of the Ruins, which was called "Wasteland," and everything would become clear.

This made Qi Tian hope that things would take a turn for the better.

"Hongjun, wash your neck and wait, I'll be there for you soon!"

Qi Tian's lips curled into a cold smile.

------

Not to mention that while Qi Tian was protecting Jin Peng, he was also trying to comprehend the "power" left behind by Pangu.

Speaking of the Zixiao Palace, which is located outside the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Previously, when the Lord of Death and the Lord of Primordial Chaos descended.

The peace and tranquility of the past have vanished.

Instead, there was a repressive chill and an almost insane, desperate gamble.

Hongjun sat cross-legged on the Chaos Cloud Bed, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

Qi Tian had previously sent him a telepathic message about the three people, Yue Chan and the others, who were attacking Fu Xi, but he chose to remain aloof and observe.

He did indeed intend to severely injure or even kill Qi Tian with the help of Yue Chan and the other two, so that he could reap the benefits and seize Qi Tian's Heavenly Dao Origin.

As for what happened after Qi Tian and Fu Xi died, Yue Chan and the other two targeted him...

He still has trump cards to play.

But unfortunately, what happened next—the three supreme rulers were about to descend into their avatars…

This completely disrupted all his plans.

Although those rulers all target Qi Tian, ​​once Qi Tian is killed, his fate will probably be very tragic!
Eliminate them or enslave them!
Both of these are outcomes that Hongjun would rather die than accept!

But his trump card was still no match for the Overlord's clone.

"Pangu Axe!"
