Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

When Hongjun heard that Shenni wanted to bring the ferocious beast race back to the primordial world, he couldn't help but hesitate. After all, he had witnessed the ferocity of the ferocious beast race firsthand.

Shen Ni had already noticed Hongjun's hesitation, and immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, rest assured, you only need to designate a certain area in the prehistoric world as the habitat of my ferocious beast clan."

"Furthermore, I can swear that the ferocious beast race will never vie for the position of Lord of the Primordial World. Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you should be able to rest assured now."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind. "If I want to compete with Qinglian Daoist, I'm afraid I won't be able to succeed with those useless subordinates under my command."

"Perhaps the ferocious beast clan can be put to use. It's not too late to find a way to destroy the ferocious beast clan after I have destroyed Qinglian Daoist."

Having made up his mind, Hongjun nodded directly to the Beast Emperor Shenni, "I can agree to your request, but you must keep your word."

Beast Emperor Shenni was secretly delighted to see Hongjun agree. He immediately said, "After countless years of reflection, I have long understood that destiny does not lie with the ferocious beast race."

"Therefore, we will naturally no longer harbor any wishful thinking and drag the ferocious beast race into an abyss of no return."

Hongjun remained calm upon hearing this, his body enveloped in purple aura, and said to the Beast Emperor Shenni, "Fellow Daoist Shenni, the Primordial World has long since changed and is no longer the Primordial World you once knew."

"Now, among the six realms of the primordial world, the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao have already awakened. The Human Dao is about to awaken as well. If the Human Dao is able to awaken, you will never have a chance to rise again."

"Therefore, today, Fellow Daoist Shenni is not helping me, but helping himself. It's just that we have the same goal."

Shen Ni laughed loudly, his chains of rules rattling. "Humanity is awakening? Interesting! When Pangu separated heaven and earth, he transformed into all things, and his will was divided into the Way of Heaven, the Way of Earth, and the Way of Humanity."

"You stole the Heavenly Dao, concealed the Earthly Dao, and kept the Human Dao dormant until now. Now you're about to awaken? It seems your control over the primordial world isn't as strong as I thought."

A shadow crossed Hongjun's eyes: "In the primordial world today, there is a Daoist named Qinglian who claims to be a brother of Pangu."

"This person has a mysterious origin and extraordinary cultivation. He has been secretly plotting for many years and now wants to use the opportunity of the Investiture of the Gods to awaken humanity. If he succeeds, the world order will be completely changed."

Shen Ni narrowed his crimson eyes and said to Hongjun, "So, you want to use my power to deal with him?"

Hongjun shook his head. "As I have already said, we are helping each other. There is no question of whether we are using each other or not."

After a long silence, Shen Ni grinned, revealing his gleaming white fangs: "Fine! I agree."

Hongjun nodded slightly: "That's how it should be."

Just as the two reached an agreement, Jiang Ziya led his army to the outskirts of Xiqi City.

Jiang Ziya, with his feet neither one nor the other, arrived at the front of the two armies and said, "I have come to break the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation as agreed."

As soon as Jiang Ziya finished speaking, a group of Taoist disciples arrived at the front of the two armies. Yunxiao spoke up directly.

"In that case, I invite all fellow Daoists of the Xuanmen to enter the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation. Let us have a contest within this great formation."

After speaking, Yunxiao led Qiongxiao and Bixiao into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. Instantly, mist shrouded the area above the formation, and the gates opened.

Upon seeing the Three Immortal Maidens of the Three Clouds activate the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, Jiang Ziya did not send anyone to break it. He simply bowed to the heavens and said, "Please, Master and all the Sages, break the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation."

As soon as Jiang Ziya finished speaking, the Six Sages of Heaven appeared above his head at the same time. Everyone hurriedly bowed and paid their respects to the Sage. This greatly surprised Zhang Guifang, who immediately said to Yu Ding Zhenren, "Senior Brother Yu Ding, no matter how strong Senior Sister Sanxiao is, or how powerful the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation is, I'm afraid they have no chance of winning against the Sage."

Just as Zhang Guifang was filled with worry, purple clouds stretched from the east for 30,000 miles, golden lotuses sprouted from the ground, and flowers rained down from the sky.

Then, from within the purple aura, appeared two Taoists riding oxen and one sitting in a chariot.

They are Laozi riding a green ox with flat horns, Yuanshi Tianzun sitting on a nine-dragon sandalwood chariot, and Tongtian Jiaozhu riding a Kui ox.

Upon seeing the Three Pure Ones appear, the Taoist disciples were overjoyed. Their earlier worries vanished instantly. They all bowed to the Three Pure Ones simultaneously.

The Three Pure Ones waved their hands, helping everyone to their feet. Tongtian then spoke directly to the Six Sages of Heaven.

"Fellow Daoists, are you perhaps planning to bully the weak? If so, the brothers of the Underworld cannot stand idly by."

Before the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, the Six Sages of Heaven and the Three Pure Ones of Taoism faced each other in mid-air, creating a tense atmosphere.

The Guide Daoist bowed and said, "Fellow Daoists, your disciples have trapped countless of my disciples using the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation."

"Therefore, I had no choice but to take action, otherwise the lineage of my Western Sect would be destroyed by your disciples."

Tongtian sneered, "Jieyin, that's because your Western Sect disciples are incompetent. If they had the ability to kill the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, my two brothers and I would never have bothered to settle accounts with them."

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi stepped forward to smooth things over: "Fellow Daoists, why argue? Why not each take a step back and let your disciples settle their own karma?"

Laozi nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi's words make sense. How about this: each side sends its disciples to enter the formation and fight, leaving their fate to destiny. What do you say?"

A glint flashed in Tongtian's eyes as he understood Laozi's intention. He immediately echoed, "Brother is absolutely right! Jieyin, if you dare not let your disciple enter the formation, then obediently admit defeat and go back to the West!"

The Guide Daoist's expression remained unchanged as he directly looked at Zhen Yuanzi. After all, according to the agreement, Zhen Yuanzi was to send disciples of the Chan Sect into the formation first, so that he would have an excuse to make his move.

At the same time, Zhen Yuanzi also spoke up, "Very well, we will do as Fellow Daoist Laozi says. However, if there are any changes in the formation, do not blame me for intervening."

Lao Tzu smiled slightly: "Of course."

Both sides reached an agreement and retreated to their respective formations. Tongtian secretly ordered the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao to prepare to meet the enemy, while Zhenyuanzi summoned the Twelve Golden Immortals to break the formation.

In the middle of Sishui Pass, Chen Xuan sat quietly on a futon. Suddenly, he frowned and looked up in the direction of Hun Dun: "This aura belongs to the ferocious beast clan."

He calculated with his fingers, and his expression changed drastically: "Hongjun actually dared to release Shenni. It seems he wants to fight me to the death."

Chen Xuan immediately transmitted his voice to the Three Pure Ones, informing them that Hongjun had colluded with the Beast Emperor Shenni in order to welcome the ferocious beast clan back to the prehistoric world.

Laozi was shocked upon hearing this and used a secret technique to ask Chen Xuan, "Master, wasn't Shen Ni imprisoned in the depths of chaos?"

Chen Xuan transmitted his voice again, saying, "Hongjun is desperate and willing to let the wolf into the house. Therefore, we must speed up the plan and awaken humanity before Shenni is fully recovered." (End of this chapter)
