I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

Hongjun swore an oath to the Great Dao to repay the borrowed fortune within 100,000 years, along with interest.

This finally quelled the rage of all living beings in the primordial world!

Hongjun gazed at Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea, then glanced at the ancestral land of the human race, and took a deep breath.

Hongjun ultimately dared not completely break off relations and turned back to Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun was filled with boundless rage.

He thought that by eliminating the selfish desires of the Heavenly Dao and regaining his body, he could then take control of the Heavenly Dao and have a promising path to enlightenment.

Firmly control the primordial world!

Unexpectedly! Everything was beyond Hongjun's control!

The Heavenly Dao Imprint cannot be retrieved, and the influence of the Primordial World has been greatly weakened. How can one not be angry?

Hongjun sat quietly on the Dao platform, saying, "Entering the Western Paradise into the Netherworld is inherently foolproof!"

"Meanwhile, the human race, the Jie Sect, and the Netherworld had laid an ambush beforehand, waiting for the West to walk right into their trap!"

"The news has leaked!"

How could Hongjun not know there was a traitor among them?

Hongjun gritted his teeth for a long time, then raised his hand and used a secret technique to transmit his voice, "Taiqing!"

Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace.

Taiqing Laozi sat quietly on the futon and received a decree from Hongjun, ordering him to go to Zixiao Palace.

Taiqing Laozi's expression remained calm and composed, as if this was exactly what he had expected!

At this moment, the mocking voices of the three demon gods echoed in the void of the Eight Trigrams Palace: "Hongjun is nothing more than a low-level demon god."

"He is naturally suspicious and indecisive; if you don't admit it, he can't do anything about it."

"Even if you admit it, Hongjun wouldn't dare let you admit it!"

The Xuanmen sect is in serious trouble. If the Renjiao sect were to announce its withdrawal from the Xuanmen sect, it would be a wake-up call for Hongjun.

Taiqing Laozi nodded in understanding, raised his hand to shatter the void, and headed towards chaos.

Enter Zixiao Palace.

Crunch!

The gates of Zixiao Palace slammed shut.

Taiqing Laozi walked calmly to the foot of the platform, bowed, and said, "Disciple greets Master."

"Teacher, why have you gone to such lengths? This disciple is terrified!"

Hongjun narrowed his eyes, his supreme majesty locking onto Taiqing. "Fearful? This old Daoist sees you have quite the nerve!"

"How dare you tip off Li Yu?"

"What should be the punishment?"

Taiqing Laozi looked stunned and asked in confusion, "Tip me in the foot? This disciple doesn't know what you're talking about, Master."

boom!

The supreme pressure transformed into three thousand killing intents.

The Jade Disc of Creation hangs high.

Hongjun roared, "This plan was known only to you, me, and the West. Could it be that the West deliberately leaked it to Li Yu? Did they stab themselves in the back?"

Taiqing Laozi appeared extremely terrified, saying, "This disciple doesn't know; I'm not clear about what happened."

Hongjun was furious!

The Jade Disc of Creation, shimmering and sparkling, stood atop the head of Laozi of the Great Purity.

Taiqing Laozi knelt down, pleading, "Please, Master, see the truth!"

Hongjun stared angrily at Taiqing.

Taiqing was terrified and did not meet Hongjun's gaze.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths, and it's over.

The main hall of Zixiao Palace was silent, utterly silent.

I don't know how much time passed.

Hongjun sighed softly, "It's come to this! Even you can't change anything!"

As Hongjun spoke, he observed Taiqing.

Tai Qingzhi shook his head. "Teacher, I'm really not your disciple!"

hum!

Hongjun's figure flashed, and the Jade Disc of Creation was about to fall.

Taiqing Laozi insisted, "He is truly not a disciple!"

"Teacher, even if you killed me, it wasn't my doing!"

"This disciple swears to the Great Dao that I hate Li Yu to the core, I hate him so much I want to grind my teeth in hatred, how could I possibly help him?"

What you said is true!

Hongjun had vented his anger to the fullest extent and had his own plans.

Even if it really is the Taiqing, Hongjun cannot continue to cause trouble!

Otherwise, if the Taiqing were to rebel, the Xuanmen would be in grave danger!

Hongjun sat back down on the platform.

The main hall returned to silence.

Taiqing Laozi asked timidly, "Master, what should we do next?"

Hongjun spoke in a weary, weathered tone, "Let's wait and see."

"Respond to all changes with constancy."

Hongjun judged that Li Yu had burned his essence during the battle with the four demon gods and must not have recovered yet!

Otherwise, it's impossible that they wouldn't have shown up in this battle of the underworld!

The Pangu Killing Array, which strangled the Demon God of Fate, is very likely a one-time event.

Pangu perished countless years ago, and the great formation, without any replenishment of power, was destined to perish sooner or later.

Hongjun wanted to heal his injuries and restore his cultivation before Li Yu could, so as to wait for the right opportunity to reclaim the Heavenly Dao Mark!

As long as we can reclaim the Heavenly Dao Mark, the heavens will not change!

There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests!

Humanitarianism and Authenticity may seem like a close and harmonious partnership, but how long can it last?

Once a conflict arises between the two sides, it will be Hongjun's opportunity!

……

The Netherworld, the Palace of Peace.

This battle can be described as a great victory.

It thwarted the Western plan to divide the netherworld, severely damaged Hongjun, and initially dismantled the Xuanmen sect.

The underworld received its compensation!

It's a win-win situation, a win-win situation!

After this battle, Houtu was also deep in thought, and even more so in shock...

"Li Yu's actions in this battle seem to have the intent to dismantle the Xuanmen sect..."

"What is the purpose?"

It goes without saying that the Xuanmen sect will take its place!

All cultivators in the primordial era shared one shi (a unit of dry measure), but the Xuanmen sect alone possessed nine dou (another unit of dry measure), which is enough to demonstrate the power of the Xuanmen sect!

If any cultivator wants to take over the Xuanmen sect, then he must be insane.

However… it was Li Yu who revealed this meaning…

Then the art style just didn't feel right.

Styx was the first to initiate the attack, and Zhen Yuanzi, Kong Xuan, and others quickly followed suit!

Countless immortal sects and factions in the primordial world responded swiftly...

Hou Tu always thought Li Yu was very capable of political maneuvering... but in the end she underestimated him.

This battle has ended, and the matter is now closed.

Li Yu arrived at Pingxin Palace and said, "I have disturbed the underworld for a long time, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Houtu smiled calmly, "Your Majesty is too kind. Not only did Youming suffer no losses, but it also gained a lot of fortune."

Polite business talk.

That's all.

Li Yu greeted him and said, "This humble Taoist takes his leave."

Houtu did not reply, but fell into deep thought, hesitant to speak...

Houtu frowned, her deep and beautiful eyes revealing hesitation.

Li Yu noticed that Houtu seemed hesitant to speak, so he didn't say anything but waited patiently for a moment.

Why did Houtu hesitate?

Houtu pondered further, 'Although I knew him back during the Lich Wars... we can't say we had a very close relationship...'

"The real intersection occurred during the Investiture of the Gods... Although the Netherworld assisted Li Yu... it was all just minor karma..."

Houtu knew that what she was about to do was extremely difficult, as it was going against the will of Heaven.

I don't know whether I should speak up or not...

Houtu's deep, beautiful eyes hesitated for a moment, then she sighed inwardly, "It's alright, fellow Daoist, please!"

Seeing that Houtu had not spoken, Li Yu smiled calmly and said, "This humble Taoist takes his leave! Your Majesty may take your time to think things through before informing this humble Taoist."

"Thank you, First Emperor."

Li Yu has departed!

The dense aura of ghostly energy once again enveloped Pingxin Palace.

Houtu stood alone in front of the Pingxin Palace, gazing at Li Yu's back, thinking of her fallen brothers, and couldn't help but feel saddened.

The Marquis of Fengdu, standing outside the palace, watched as the First Emperor departed, and the Empress remained silent. He was filled with anxiety and unease. "Chief...why didn't you speak...?"

"You said that the First Emperor would definitely consider it seriously, and perhaps he would find a way to allow the leaders to..."

Houtu shook her head slightly. "To revive the Ancestral Witches is to go against the Dao, let alone now that the Great Dao has entrusted the primordial world with its governance... to go against the Great Dao?"

Even the mighty Thunder Punishment of the Great Dao, as powerful as the Heavenly Dao itself, had its consciousness annihilated.

Even if Li Yu was exceptionally talented, could he withstand the divine punishment of the Great Dao?

Proposing plans that cannot be realized is not only useless, but it also harms the relationship between humanity and nature.

Fengdu sighed deeply, acknowledging that the Empress was right, but a strong premonition lingered in his heart: 'Perhaps… the First Emperor… he really can do it?'
