Primordial Era: I am the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones, the gatekeeper of the Great Dao.

Chapter 54 I, Dijiang, have never seen such a shameless person!

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, when Dao Ancestor Hongjun first preached the Dao, because of me, you missed the position on the futon and even missed the position of the Heavenly Dao Saint."

"Thus, a karmic bond has been formed between you and me. This karmic burden is like a heavy mountain that has been weighing on my heart for a long time."

"Today I step into this Lingxiao Palace in the hope of resolving our conflict and ending this karmic entanglement."

Hongyun's expression was calm and indifferent. He bowed slightly to Kunpeng, and there was no trace of resentment in his every move.

Through a thousand years of cultivation and enlightenment, his mind became incredibly open, allowing him to see through the many troubles and distractions of the world.

He knew in his heart that being hunted by the demon master Kunpeng and others in the past was due to his own karma.

If one remains bound by hatred, the path of spiritual practice will only become narrower.

They might even remain lost forever, unable to grasp the true principles of Tao.

Therefore, Daoist Hongyun resolutely decided to let go of the past, follow Cangxuan's guidance, dispel the fog in his mind, and embrace a brand new beginning.

Hongyun's words echoed throughout the Lingxiao Palace, instantly igniting a commotion.

Was he here for the demon master Kunpeng?

Everyone was a little confused for a moment, but some of them had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

They looked at each other, their eyes showing surprise.

Immediately afterwards, the Primordial Purple Qi suddenly appeared, its light dazzling and brilliant, as if containing endless mysteries.

It hovered in front of Daoist Hongyun, exuding mysterious Daoist charm and laws, making the entire hall solemn, majestic, and unpredictable.

"This is the foundation for achieving sainthood, the Primordial Purple Qi!"

"Could it be that Hongyun truly intends to give this Primordial Purple Qi to the Demon Master Kunpeng in order to settle karmic debts?"

An incredulous glint flashed in the eyes of the Sage Zhunti as he pondered inwardly.

The moment he saw the Primordial Purple Qi, the fire of greed in his heart was instantly ignited. He was even willing to defy the decree of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun in order to possess it for himself.

"Hongyun, what do you mean by this?"

A sharp light flashed in Kunpeng's eyes, but his face did not show much joy.

Because he knew in his heart that even if Daoist Hongyun gave him the Primordial Purple Qi, he would not be able to successfully refine it.

In the end, this Primordial Purple Qi will most likely still fall into the hands of the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun.

After all, how could he possibly escape easily under Di Jun's control?

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, this Primordial Purple Qi should rightfully belong to you."

Hongyun's tone was unusually firm: "From now on, the cause and effect between you and me will be completely ended."

After saying that, he threw the Primordial Purple Qi towards Kunpeng without hesitation.

Kunpeng caught the Primordial Purple Qi, while Hongyun felt an unprecedented spiritual liberation.

More than 90% of the karmic burdens surrounding him dissipated instantly, and the ominous aura of calamity that had been troubling him melted away as quickly as ice and snow meeting the warm sun.

In an instant, Hongyun seemed to be completely freed from the Lich Calamity, and no longer had to worry about his death and annihilation.

Many powerful beings witnessed this scene and reacted in various ways.

A hint of surprise flashed in Nuwa's eyes, and she murmured to herself:

"Hongyun seems to have truly grasped the essence of 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime,' which is why he was able to hand over the Primordial Purple Qi so freely."

"This move not only resolved the deep and heavy cause and effect, but also seemed to give it a new life."

"From now on, he and Zhen Yuanzi will be free from the surveillance of the Demon Court and can freely pursue their path of cultivation without any constraints."

"Hongyun's Dao heart has also been tempered to a great extent, and his understanding of the Great Dao has improved several times over. His future achievements are limitless."

Everyone knows that the Primordial Purple Qi contains boundless creation, but they overlook the fact that this foundation for becoming a saint can also become a shackle on one's Dao heart and wisdom, binding one's thoughts and actions.

Even if one can attain sainthood, it is still difficult to escape the control of the Heavenly Dao.

However, in the present moment, Taoist Hongyun not only avoided potential disasters, but also gained unprecedented freedom.

This kind of turn of misfortune into blessing is truly enviable.

Nuwa saw through Hongyun's intentions and purpose, but the powerful figures of the Demon Court were seduced by the Primordial Purple Qi, and their bodies were filled with the aura of a great calamity.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, isn't this a rather inappropriate course of action?"

Kunpeng felt the wolfish gazes of Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, and others.

At this moment, the Primordial Purple Qi in his arms seemed to have become a hot potato, and the slightest mistake could cause him to perish completely.

He cursed Hongyun countless times in his heart, complaining about why she couldn't give him the Primordial Purple Qi in private.

Now that he has so openly handed it over, how is he supposed to handle this situation?

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, you'd better hurry up and refine the Primordial Purple Qi!"

Hongyun pretended not to know anything and patted Kunpeng on the shoulder, but a smile that was hard to read appeared on his lips.

The kindest person in the primordial world?

Who can say that he doesn't know how to plan?

If the Primordial Purple Qi causes turmoil within the Demon Court and creates discord between Kunpeng and Dijun, then it can be considered as avenging the deep-seated hatred of the past.

"Demon Master, what are you still hesitating for? Quickly offer the Primordial Purple Qi to the Heavenly Emperor!"

Bai Ze said in a deep voice, his tone revealing an undeniable determination.

If the demon master Kunpeng dares to refuse in the slightest, he will be attacked immediately.

"Hahaha"

A burst of wild and unrestrained laughter suddenly rang out.

"I, Dijiang, have never seen such a shameless person!"

"The Primordial Purple Qi was a treasure that Hongyun entrusted to Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, yet now Dijun is about to take it for free. This method is truly extremely clever!"

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, how can you still stay in such a demon court?"

"Don't worry, with the Twelve Ancestral Witches here, you just go and refine the Primordial Purple Qi. Those two scruffy Golden Crow brothers wouldn't dare to do anything to you!"

Just as the demon master Kunpeng was struggling with his inner turmoil, the twelve ancestral witches suddenly broke through the void and forcibly entered the Lingxiao Palace.

The boundless malevolent energy and the essence of the laws they brought swept wildly throughout the hall, plunging the entire hall into chaos as howling winds raged.

Di Jun was tall and imposing, and he controlled the laws of space.

Its sound, like thunder, echoed throughout the hall, giving people a sense of heroic spirit, like someone who would draw their sword to help those in need.

"Demon Master, Dijiang's actions are nothing but an attempt to sow discord!"

Fuxi frowned and spoke to Kunpeng.

The aura of a peak Quasi-Saint instantly erupted, bringing an extremely powerful sense of oppression.

At the same time, the ten demon saints were also ready to attack, tightly surrounding Kunpeng.

However, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi watched coldly from the sidelines without making any move.

In an instant, Kunpeng became the target of everyone's attacks.

"Shouldn't you deal with the Twelve Ancestral Witches first?"

Kunpeng's lips trembled as he spoke, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness and lament.

His heart had turned completely cold at that moment.

He had originally planned to hand over the Primordial Purple Qi.

He knew that he was not strong enough to protect the treasure on his own, and that offering it to Di Jun was the wisest choice.

But the current situation chilled him to the bone.

His former close friends, in order to show their loyalty to Di Jun, actually came one after another to force him to hand over the Primordial Purple Qi.

Kunpeng felt a mix of emotions.

"What a magnificent spectacle!"

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, it seems you've wandered half your life and still haven't met someone truly worthy of your loyalty!"

"Di Jun, he doesn't deserve your unwavering loyalty!"

"Let's just rebel!"

Zhu Jiuyin chimed in from the side, his tone revealing sympathy for Kunpeng.

As he spoke, he led Zhu Rong and Gong Gong to Kunpeng's side and protected him.

This action gave Kunpeng an unprecedented sense of security.
