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

The venerable Hongyun gazed intently at the two fairies emerging from the ruins, his eyes sharp as lightning.

Princess Longji was dressed in a seven-colored robe and held twin swords with phoenix and dragon motifs in her hand. Although there was surprise in her eyes, there was no fear.

Yang Chan, dressed in pure white, held a lotus lantern in her hand, her eyes flashing with vigilance.

"Youngsters, do you know the terrible disaster you have committed?" The voice of the Red Cloud Ancestor was like a muffled thunder, and crimson clouds surged around his body.

Although he did not directly take action, the saint's aura had already caused all the rocks within a hundred miles to crumble.

Princess Longji was about to speak when Yang Chan stepped in front of her, and the Lotus Lantern emitted a soft blue light.

Although Yang Chan didn't know that the other party was the Red Cloud Ancestor, she could still sense the other party's strength from his aura.

I wouldn't say I could turn them to dust with a mere gesture. Killing them wouldn't take much effort at all.

So he spoke respectfully, saying, "Senior, why make things difficult for us juniors? What happened just now was not intentional; it was merely an accident."

Hongyun Patriarch suddenly burst into laughter, the sound shaking the clouds in the sky. “Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan’s evil corpse incarnation was reduced to ashes, and you think you can just let it go with a ‘accident’?”

Upon hearing that the creature that had just been pulverized by the Azure Phoenix Palace was actually the evil corpse incarnation of Zhen Yuanzi, Princess Longji and Yang Chan both wore expressions of disbelief.

"Senior, please don't joke. Senior Zhen Yuanzi is a dignified saint of the Chan Sect. His evil corpse incarnation, especially, is hardly..."
"I'm afraid even the Emperor's Lingxiao Palace wouldn't be able to deal with the evil corpse incarnation of a saint, would it?"

Princess Longji wore an expression of disbelief, which also served as a way of revealing her true identity to the other party.

As expected, Ancestor Hongyun frowned upon hearing this. After all, he hadn't expected that the Azure Phoenix Palace was actually inhabited by the daughter of the Jade Emperor.

But if he were to retreat now, wouldn't that be tantamount to being intimidated by the name of the Jade Emperor? So he simply snorted coldly and said.

“I, Hongyun, have no reason to deceive a junior like you. So I can only take you to Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain for my old friend to deal with you personally.”

As he spoke, Ancestor Hongyun extended his right hand directly to Princess Longji and Yang Chan.

Upon learning of the identity of the Old Ancestor Hongyun, Yang Chan and Princess Longji were so enraged that they couldn't even muster the thought of resistance.

Just as the two women were about to be taken away by Ancestor Hongyun, a clear and melodious sword cry rang out from the horizon. A celestial sword wreathed in purple lightning pierced through the air, slicing the giant phantom hand of Ancestor Hongyun in two.

Everyone looked up and saw Tongtian sitting on the Kui Niu, descending from the sky, with the shadow of the Qingping Sword faintly visible behind him.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, you, a dignified sage, are attacking a junior? Aren't you afraid of losing face as a sage?"

Hongyun Patriarch narrowed his eyes: "Tongtian, this matter has nothing to do with your Daoist sect. Do you also intend to interfere?"

Tongtian smiled and shook his head. "It seems that Fellow Daoist Hongyun is indeed very forgetful. He has actually forgotten that Fairy Yaoji's daughter is my grand-disciple."

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Hongyun frowned and immediately turned his gaze to Yang Chan, who was holding the Lotus Lantern.

Knowing that Tongtian was there, he realized that it was impossible for him to take Princess Longji and Yang Chan to Wanshou Mountain.

He simply snorted coldly at Tongtian and said, "Since the mastermind is a disciple of your Daoist sect, then today, Fellow Daoist Tongtian, you must give me an explanation." "Your grand-disciple used the Azure Phoenix Palace to grind my old friend's evil corpse into dust. It even caused his true spirit to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods."

Tongtian snorted coldly after hearing this and said, "If it weren't for my disciple Duobao's soft heart, Zhen Yuanzi's evil corpse incarnation would have been on the Investiture of the Gods long ago."

"Now that he's dying in this Azure Phoenix Palace, it's his fate, Zhen Yuanzi's evil body, to suffer this calamity. How can he blame my disciple?"

"If you intend to use this as a reason to make things difficult for my Daoist disciples, then I have no choice but to stand up for my grand-disciple."

As he spoke, the Qingping Sword appeared in Tongtian's hand, emitting a series of sword cries. The Chaos Bell immediately rose above Tongtian's head.

Tongtian rarely used the Chaos Bell, except to suppress the fortune of major sects. It was only during the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou that he had Duobao Daoist use it to set up the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Now that the Four Swords of Zhuxian are not in his possession, Tongtian has finally resorted to using the Chaos Bell. Otherwise, this innate treasure might still be gathering dust somewhere.

It is precisely because Tongtian rarely uses the Chaos Bell that many people have forgotten that in addition to the Four Swords of Zhuxian, Tongtian also possesses the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell.

So when Ancestor Hongyun saw the Chaos Bell, he couldn't help but gasp.

He originally thought that since the Four Swords of Zhuxian weren't by Tongtian's side, he could still fight him. Now it seems that would be no different from him asking for trouble.

Just as the two sages were facing off, a deafening roar suddenly came from the direction of Wuzhuang Temple. The entire Longevity Mountain shook violently.

The ginseng fruit tree burst forth with an unprecedented verdant light. A figure slowly rose from its canopy. It was Zhen Yuanzi who had used the ginseng fruit tree to recreate his evil corpse avatar.

It turns out that Zhen Yuanzi had left a trace of evil intent in the ginseng fruit tree in his early years. Now, sensing that his true body was slaying the evil corpse in Zixiao Palace, it manifested itself on its own.

The newly born evil corpse had a ferocious face and roared unwillingly towards the direction of the Conferred God Platform, as if it were a place of shame for it.

Most surprisingly, the newly created evil corpse avatar of Zhen Yuanzi suddenly turned its head to look in the direction of Phoenix Mountain.

At the same time, a strange smile appeared on his lips, and he said through gritted teeth, "You all deserve to die for destroying my physical body and putting my soul on the Investiture of the Gods."

It turns out that Zhen Yuanzi recreated the evil corpse incarnation, which retained the original incarnation's memories. Due to its tragic death, its soul was listed on the Investiture of the Gods, and its personality became even more explosive and manic.

With a single step, he arrived directly above Phoenix Mountain. He then addressed the Old Ancestor Hongyun, saying, "Old friend Hongyun, please hold off Tongtian for me. I will personally deal with the two juniors."

Hongyun looked at the ancestor and saw that Zhen Yuanzi had re-severed the evil corpse incarnation. He couldn't help but feel happy for his old friend.

He immediately nodded and said, "You will settle your own karma. Fellow Daoist Tongtian, I am here with you, so you don't need to worry."

As he spoke, the Heavenly Punishment Whisk appeared out of thin air and swept towards Tongtian without hesitation.

The treasures of a sage are not something that can be easily taken away by anyone. In particular, the supreme treasures of the Heavenly Dao used to suppress the fortune of a great sect are even less likely to be lost easily.

Even if the Heavenly Punishment Whisk falls into the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, it can be easily summoned back with just a thought from Ancestor Hongyun.

This is also why Daoist Duobao and his companions didn't put away the saint's magical treasures. After all, it would be pointless to collect them; it was better to leave them unattended in the Immortal Execution Formation. (End of Chapter)
