Primordial Era: Reborn as Taiyi, I Don't Need Brothers

Chapter 7 Hongjun's Visit Forces Him to Leave the Mountain

"Hongjun?!" Taiyi was stunned for a moment, then began to examine the Zhou Tian Star Chart beside him!

Seeing that the great formation was safe, Taiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's he doing here?" Taiyi frowned. A strong premonition told him that Hongjun's arrival was definitely not a good thing.

It is estimated that the aura of his breakthrough to Quasi-Saint spread throughout the prehistoric world, which Hongjun sensed.

Hongjun came this time to drag himself into the mess!

Taiyi frowned, instinctively not wanting to see Hongjun! At this moment, Hongjun was at the peak of Quasi-Saint, a figure who could become a Saint at any time! Taiyi himself possessed the Heavenly Dao Treasure, the Jade Disc of Creation, and the unparalleled Pangu Banner!

In terms of raw power, Taiyi is no match for him.

"Hongjun, I request an audience with the Lord of the Stars!" Hongjun's voice rang out again as Taiyi hesitated.

Taiyi suddenly stood up!

We always have to face it!

Extraterrestrial starry sky!

Hongjun looked at the countless rotating stars in the sky, and with the Chaos Bell above his head and the Zhou Tian Star Chart Taiyi in his hand, empowered by the power of the stars, and his lips twitched slightly.

"This guy is really cautious!" Hongjun looked at Taiyi, his face full of black lines.

"My name is Taiyi. I was unaware of your arrival. Please forgive my lack of hospitality!" Taiyi approached Hongjun and stopped about a hundred meters away, cupping his hands in greeting.

Hongjun naturally responded!

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. I never imagined that such a powerful being as you could be born in this extraterrestrial realm. It's truly a pleasant surprise," Hongjun said, cupping his hands in greeting. Hongjun had assumed that Taiyi would step forward, since even though they were both highly powerful beings, a distance of a hundred meters seemed a bit too great for them to communicate.

However, Taiyi stopped and ceased moving forward, which made Hongjun frown.

"I have been cultivating in seclusion in this remote region and have never ventured into the primordial wilderness. I wonder what brings you here, my friend?" Taiyi looked at Hongjun and asked calmly, subtly revealing his stance.

"I have come here on behalf of all living beings in the primordial world to earnestly request that you, fellow Daoist, come out of seclusion!" Hongjun looked at Taiyi and stated his purpose directly. He wanted Taiyi to come out of seclusion and act as a suicide squad to fight against Rahu.

"I observe the primordial land, where strife is constant, and everyone is constantly fighting to prove their Dao. But I have no intention of paying attention to the primordial struggles. After all, whoever wins in the primordial world, the outer starry sky is still the same outer starry sky!" Taiyi said with a calm smile.

If the previous refusal was subtle, now it's very clear: You guys do your thing, I don't want to participate.

"Fellow Daoist, your words are greatly wrong. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. That Rahu is a being who has attained enlightenment through killing. He intends to slaughter all living beings in the primordial world and gather the power of the world into one person. If you do not take action before he attains enlightenment, how can he tolerate your domination of the starry sky after he does?" Hongjun said, admonishing Taiyi.

Taiyi knew all too well about this! But knowing that Hongjun was capable of winning, Taiyi simply didn't want to be Hongjun's cannon fodder.

After all, Taiji, Qiankun, and Shanhe, who accompanied Hongjun on his expedition, all perished in the end. The spiritual treasures also became part of Hongjun's collection.

"I have the Chaos Bell above my head, the Star Chart in my palm, and billions of stars above me as my support. Who below the level of a sage can harm me? It's fine if Rahu doesn't come. If he does come, I'll see if he dares to speak loudly to me!" Taiyi activated the great array above his head, and waves of profound power empowered him.

The powerful energy caught Hongjun's attention!

"Fellow Daoist, even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider the lives of all living beings in the prehistoric world. If we let that Rahu run rampant, less than one in ten of the prehistoric beings will survive. Fellow Daoist, do you think those living beings have done anything wrong?" Hongjun looked at Taiyi, who was possessed by Lu Bu, and decisively started the moral blackmail mode.

"I am the Lord of the Stars, not the Lord of the Primordial World. What do the beings of the Primordial World have to do with me? Governing the Primordial World is the business of Heaven, not mine!" Taiyi looked at Hongjun and said softly.

"You're so stubborn!" Hongjun cursed inwardly, but he still had to maintain his composure! At this moment, the Jade Disc of Creation suddenly flew out from above Hongjun's head.

A powerful aura was bestowed upon Hongjun, causing his aura to subtly break through and reach the Saintly Realm!

"I, Hongjun, am the representative of the Heavenly Dao. I can promise you, fellow Daoist, that if you help the Heavenly Dao defeat Rahu, the Heavenly Dao will surely bestow upon you the status of a Saint!" The Jade Disc of Creation above Hongjun's head emanated the power of the Heavenly Dao, making it appear exceptionally powerful.

Taiyi remained unmoved by Hongjun's promise.

However, given Hongjun's current sincerity, Taiyi couldn't simply refuse.

"Sages are good, but they are not what I pursue. If you are truly interested, could you part with your precious Jade Tablet of Creation and let me study it for a few days? If you are willing, I am willing to be the vanguard and fight against Rahu for the sake of Heaven's Dao," Taiyi said with a smile as he looked at Hongjun.

At this moment, Hongjun's smile faded.

The Jade Disc of Creation was his treasure for achieving enlightenment. Hongjun was able to sit as the representative of the Heavenly Dao and later merge with the Heavenly Dao entirely because of this treasure.

Giving up this treasure is absolutely out of the question.

At this moment, Hongjun realized that words alone would not be enough to persuade Taiyi to fight. After all, this guy was not only shameless but also morally bankrupt, making him impossible to coerce.

"If you remain obstinate, next time I will have to go with Ancestor Qiankun, Ancestor Taiji, and Ancestor Shanhe to persuade you! I hope you will think it through by then. I am easier to talk to, but they are not so easy to talk to." Ancestor Hongjun's tone was extremely calm, but his words were full of threat.

Nobody likes a fence-sitter! And nobody can tolerate a blatant shrew.

"Fellow Daoists can call upon Qiankun, Taiji, and Shanhe, and I can naturally call upon Luo Hou as well. With my Zhou Tian Xing Dou combined with the Zhuxian Sword Formation, I wonder if you fellow Daoists can withstand it!" Taiyi calmly responded to Hongjun's threat.

If you call for help, I'll call for help too! If you push me any further, don't blame me for joining forces with Rahu.

"Are you so sure that Rahu can truly ally with you? Once we retreat, Rahu will be the first to target you. If you cooperate with us, at least we won't choose to attack you, but if you cooperate with Rahu, that's another story. He has no moral bottom line." Seeing that both sides had no more to hide, Hongjun stopped concealing himself.

This left Taiyi speechless. From any perspective, Luo Hou was not a good partner. If he had to choose one, Taiyi could only choose Hongjun.

Because smart people always side with the winners.

Although Taiyi spoke toughly, talking about cooperating with Luo Hou, he knew in his heart that he could never be on Luo Hou's side.

Now, Hongjun is forcing him to step down, to prevent him from causing trouble at a crucial moment.

"I can stand by your side, fellow Daoist, and I might even be the first to act, but I have one condition that I hope you will agree to!"
