Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 87, Section 86: The Nine-Headed Serpent Kills Its Son, Plotting Against the Kunpeng
After the Peach Banquet ended and the immortals departed, Yaochi gave three of the finest peaches to each of the disciples of the Jie Sect and Ao Guang as a sign of their closeness.

Yes, Ao Guang represented the Dragon Clan at the Peach Banquet, and at this time he had already become the Dragon King of the East Sea.

While the peaches are delicious and can increase one's power, their most precious aspect is the innate Ren Water Dao they contain. Eating them helps one comprehend the Dao. Although only the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, Zhao Gongming, and Ao Guang are present who cultivate the Dao of Water, it is still excellent for others to gain insights into the Ren Water Dao and apply them to other areas.

"Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan."

Haotian glanced at Ji Yuan, then scanned the crowd.

Ji Yuan smiled:
"These are my most trusted junior brothers and sisters and good friends. Just say what you want to say."

Upon hearing this, Haotian felt greatly reassured and said:
"Fellow Daoist, you probably already know what's in that bottle. I suspect that Kunpeng not only has the remnant soul of the Greedy Wolf, but also the remnant souls of those powerful Star Gods."

"This is equivalent to the power over the ancient starry sky being in their hands. By giving me the remnant soul of the Greedy Wolf, he is clearly trying to divide my Heavenly Emperor's power."

Haotian was somewhat indignant. He was the Heavenly Emperor appointed by the Dao Ancestor, yet he had encountered setbacks everywhere in this prehistoric world. Ten whole eons had passed, and he still hadn't even gathered half of the Heavenly Court's divine positions. How was he supposed to explain this to the Dao Ancestor?

Ji Yuan nodded in agreement with Haotian's statement:

"Perhaps Lady Ziguang's remnant soul still exists."

"Fellow Daoist, are you telling the truth?"

Venus said excitedly.

Lady Ziguang, known as the Mother of All Stars, naturally had an excellent relationship with Venus.

Ji Yuan nodded seriously, looked up at the ancient starry sky, and said:

"Have you ever seen His authority dimmed?"

“Yes! The power of Lady Ziguang and Beidou has never dimmed; I should have realized it sooner.”

Venus was so excited he almost jumped up. If there was any remnant soul, he would nourish it with his authority, and it would regain consciousness in less than a few hundred eons.

However, if one is completely lost in endless time and space, the amount of creation and karma required to return is too vast, making it almost impossible.

"So how can we obtain the remnant soul?"

Haotian hurriedly asked, "Saving so many remnant souls has provided me with so much help, and I desperately need it now."

"It's easy!"

Ji Yuan spoke calmly.

"Why not just snatch it from Kunpeng?"

"?"

Everyone looked at Ji Yuan with puzzled expressions.

Although the demon race suffered heavy casualties in the war between the Lich King and the demon race, and many demons no longer participated in the demon race's struggle, Kunpeng still gathered a wave of warlike demons, whose number was in the hundreds of millions.

Not to mention that the demon race can also evolve the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Array. Openly robbing them? Easier said than done.

Ji Yuan knew what they were thinking and said confidently:
"He has a large quantity, but we have a high quality."

"You're right, aren't you, Brother Ao Guang?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang was startled. With his keen mind, he shrewdly realized that Ji Yuan was giving him a hint: it was just about fighting Kunpeng, so he would fight!

So Ao Guang said to Haotian:

"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, our Dragon Clan is willing to lend you a helping hand."

If you're asking what's the fastest way to eliminate karma right now, it's definitely through the Heavenly Court.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Haotian said "good" three times in a row, appearing very excited.

"Once this is done, I will definitely help your dragon clan eliminate their karma and earn merit!"

Haotian skillfully started making grand promises.

Ao Guang nodded. He didn't care what Haotian said; he trusted Ji Yuan.

"Alright, it's settled then. I'll go find the people first, just wait for my message!"

After Ji Yuan finished speaking, he opened a portal and went into the primordial wilderness.

Meanwhile, in the Demon Emperor's Palace on the other side.

"Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor, save me!"

Nine-Headed Serpent wept bitterly, the feeling of its essence rapidly slipping away was too unbearable.

Hearing the Nine-Headed Serpent's piercing cries, Kunpeng frowned and said irritably:
"How could you make such a mess of just going to deliver a gift?"

However, he couldn't just leave Jiuying alone. He enveloped Jiuying with a vast aura and began to analyze this divine power. The more he analyzed it, the deeper Kunpeng's brows furrowed.

"You're saying the one you were battling was the Heavenly Venerable Who Grants Children from the Heavenly Court?"

Kunpeng said solemnly.

Jiuying nodded, sensing something ominous in his heart as he saw Kunpeng's bad condition.

Kunpeng sighed deeply:
"The God of Fertility has indeed given you a child."

"This ninth head that has been revived is actually your child, which is why it is absorbing your essence. You are nurturing your own child!"

"What should I do, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor? I'm a man!"

After hearing Kunpeng's explanation, Jiuying was greatly shocked. How could the Heavenly Venerable Who Grants Children be so evil?

"Just kill him."

Kunpeng said coldly, "This method is actually not very profound, and the solution is extremely simple."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Jiuying had no doubts and directly severed off its head, which had already turned into a ball of flesh.

He then picked up the fleshy ball, intending to absorb its lost essence, but the fleshy ball turned to ashes the instant he picked it up.

"This……"

Kunpeng swiftly absorbed a wisp of dissipated energy.

"This Heavenly Venerable of Giving Children is ruthless. His power to give children contains destructive power. He sends your child to absorb your essence, and then destroys it when you divide it, all to deplete your essence."

Kunpeng explained it to Jiuying, and now he was eager to see this capable person from the Heavenly Court.

"His Majesty……"

The weak voice of Jiuying made Kunpeng's heart skip a beat; Jiuying's voice sounded as if its heart had died.

Kunpeng looked at Jiuying again and found that Jiuying's Dao heart had developed cracks. He then discovered that Jiuying's seven emotions and six desires were extremely unstable and on the verge of collapse.

"This is...too weird..."

Kunpeng suddenly didn't want to see this Heavenly Court Child-Giving Venerable anymore. His methods were too evil, not only damaging his origin but also breaking his Dao heart. It was truly extremely dangerous.

…………

Ji Yuan, who was on Longevity Mountain, was naturally unaware that Jiuying was experiencing ecstasy. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. If Jiuying weren't still useful, he would have killed it long ago due to its immense karma.

"Junior nephew, what brings you here to visit your uncle?"

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard and chuckled. "Ever since I formed a karmic bond with Ji Yuan, I've found Hongyun, and I've even taken the position of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, enjoying boundless fortune. It's wonderful!"

"Haha, then I won't beat around the bush with you, Uncle-Master. I've come to find you about the Kunpeng."

Ji Yuan spoke frankly.

Ji Yuan then told Zhen Yuanzi about his plan.

After hearing Ji Yuan's plan, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes flashed with a sharp light. His greatest wish now was to bring Hongyun back from the endless space-time.

It is extremely difficult for Da Luo to return, let alone Hong Yun. Even with the help of the incense offerings of the human race, there is still no sign of Hong Yun's return.

However, Kunpeng was one of the reasons that directly led to Hongyun's death; if...

Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi shouted:
"Let's see if he has any way to escape this time!"
