Primordial Era: Starting with the Immortals of the Jie Sect to Prove the Dao of Hunyuan

Kunpeng Ancestor lagged behind for a moment, and when he arrived, he saw Taiyi and Styx fighting fiercely.

Although Taiyi was a Quasi-Saint of the Three Corpses and possessed the innate treasure of the Chaos Bell, the Styx Ancestor was no pushover either. With the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords combined and the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus protecting him, he mobilized the power of the Blood Sea, resulting in a back-and-forth battle.

The Styx Ancestor was already no match for Taiyi, and seeing the arrival of Kunpeng, he naturally felt the urge to retreat.

But before he could leave the battle, the Kunpeng Ancestor's eyes darted around, and he turned and left without paying any attention to the place!

"Taiyi is just a stupid, reckless brute!"

The Kunpeng Ancestor scoffed at Taiyi's reckless actions. Although the Blood Sea had affected them, he and Taiyi were still able to sense what had happened there with their divine senses.

The disappearance of Hongyun's true spirit and Styx's furious reaction show that the Primordial Purple Qi must not have fallen into Styx's hands.

The most urgent task now is to find Hongyun's Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd and use this personal spiritual treasure to deduce Hongyun's location, rather than fighting with the Styx Ancestor, the Lord of the Blood Sea!

In an instant, the Kunpeng Ancestor understood the logic behind it and, without hesitation, turned and left.

"Kunpeng, where are you going?"

Taiyi frowned. In his opinion, Kunpeng should have joined him in taking down the Styx Ancestor.

The Styx Ancestor's anger was suppressed by Taiyi's unreasonable fighting style, and his rationality returned. He immediately noticed a problem.

Hongyun's true spirit did indeed come from the Blood Sea, but where did his famous treasure, the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, go?

Without the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, was what just disappeared truly the true spirit of Ancestor Hongyun? Was the Primordial Purple Qi he saw real?

As a quasi-saint, who doesn't have countless backup plans? Could the one who came to the Blood Sea be the Red Cloud Ancestor's backup plan? In that case, it seems reasonable that he couldn't devour the other party!

Could it be that Kunpeng is going to find the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd?

In that instant, the Styx Ancestor thought of many things. He blocked Taiyi with his twin swords and coldly shouted, "Kunpeng has gone to find Hongyun's Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd. If we don't stop now, the Primordial Purple Qi will fall into his hands!"

Taiyi paused for a moment. He was no fool, having cultivated to the point of severing the three corpses. It was just that there were few people who could make him use his brain. Hearing this, he immediately understood.

"Well done, Kunpeng! It seems I shouldn't have agreed to my elder brother's suggestion to spare your life! I let you sit comfortably in my demon race's position as a demon master, enjoying boundless fortune for nothing, and yet you still harbor disloyalty!"

Taiyi slammed the Chaos Bell, shoving aside the Styx Ancestor. After leaping out of the battle, he didn't hesitate and immediately transformed into a golden rainbow, chasing after the Kunpeng.

After considering his options, the Styx Ancestor hurriedly followed.

This distance was nothing to a Quasi-Saint who had mastered space; the three of them arrived at Mount Tai almost one after the other.

When Taiyi arrived, he casually concealed the heavenly secrets of this place.

The simultaneous arrival of three quasi-saint powerhouses caused Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals to turn pale and almost lose their footing due to their overwhelming pressure.

The wooden sword in Li Qing's sleeve trembled slightly, and a faint blue light enveloped the five of them, thus blocking the oppressive aura.

Taiyi's gaze swept across the room and landed on Li Qing. He frowned as he recognized the Shangqing magic power within Li Qing.

"A disciple of the Tongtian Sect Leader? We can't attack him directly then!"

Taiyi descended from the clouds, restraining his haughty tone, and spoke gently: "Young friend, we meet again. I am Taiyi, and I once shared the opportunity to listen to your master's teachings at Zixiao Palace."

Let me ask you, do you have that scoundrel Hongyun's Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd?

You should know that this is an opportunity to become a saint. If you cannot seize it, hand over the gourd. Once my demon race unifies the prehistoric world, you will be an honored guest of my demon race!

Although Taiyi tried to sound gentle, his tone carried an undeniable authority, because in his view, Li Qing had no right to refuse.

Even a Taiyi Golden Immortal is nothing more than an ant in front of a Quasi-Saint.

Moreover, he had fought against the Three Pure Ones before they became saints, and he was not convinced by any of the six saints after Hongjun Daozu!

Even if the Tongtian Sect Leader has become a saint, and the demon race has set up the Zhou Tian Star Array, they are not without the power to fight!

Moreover, once he obtains the Primordial Purple Qi, with Taiyi's talent and ability, becoming a saint would be a piece of cake.

At that time, we would be even less afraid of the Tongtian Cult Leader!

Li Qing remained silent.

Hand over the gourd? Regardless of whether it contains primordial purple energy, Ancestor Hongyun himself said that this gourd is destined for him and that entrusting it to him is his good fortune.

If he were to hand it over like this, what path would Li Qing be cultivating in the Jie Sect?

He had figured out the Tongtian Sect Leader's personality very well over the years through listening to his teachings.

That is the spirit of "preferring to take the straight path rather than the crooked one," meaning "unyielding and unyielding."

As the direct disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master, even though he was weak, he couldn't just hand over the opportunity because of a few words of intimidation, lest he lose face for the Tongtian Sect Master.

Moreover, even if there is only a one in ten chance that this gourd contains Primordial Purple Qi, or that one can use it to find Ancestor Hongyun, that would be an opportunity to become a saint. If one gives it up now, it will surely become a demon in one's heart in the future, and how can one talk about cultivation then!

"Taiyi, why make things difficult for a junior? Come and fight me!"

The Ancestral Witches, who had just realized what was happening after Hongyun's self-destruction, did not rush to the south to join the fight. Instead, they attacked without saying a word.

Taiyi was furious and summoned Kunpeng, but the Styx Ancestor roared and sent out 1.08 billion Blood God Sons to attack Kunpeng.

Kunpeng Ancestor was unwilling to fight the Ancestral Witches, so he peacefully waited out the Styx River.

The Styx Ancestor also realized that Kunpeng was not exerting its strength, and was overjoyed. He left behind an avatar, while his true body went towards Li Qing.

"Li Qing, I am not Taiyi, I'm just trying to trick you with empty words. That Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd is nothing more than a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, it has little value in your hands. I will exchange it with you for this Ninth-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, how about it?"

Knowing that time was of the essence and that a swift and decisive action was needed, the Styx Ancestor showed some impatience on his face. With a flick of his sleeve, a streak of light flew out and landed squarely at Li Qing's feet, requiring Li Qing to bend down and pick it up.

At the same time, he snorted coldly, and a powerful force forced Li Qing to bend over.

As long as Li Qing picks up this spiritual treasure, he will be bound to it by karma, and then he will have a reason to directly snatch the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd!

"We disciples of the Jie Sect worship sage teachers, yet we don't know how to bow before others!"

Li Qing's expression changed, and under pressure, he spoke slowly and deliberately.

"How dare you! You are so ill-mannered! This humble Taoist priest will teach you a lesson on behalf of your master!"

The Styx Ancestor snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, countless blood threads wrapped around Li Qing's body.
