Primordial Era: I, Wutu, govern the Earthly Dao and suppress the Heavenly Dao.

Chapter 83 Hongjun and Rahu mock each other, the three ancestors' gazes all focused on Zhenyuan

"Zhen Yuanzi! If you still have any schemes, feel free to use them all here—"

The Three Pure Ones, Fuxi, and Nuwa all remained silent and watched from a distance as Hongjun screamed hysterically, not daring to speak.

Taiqing's face was ashen. "Oh no! Teacher has really gone mad!"

Yuqing's eyes were filled with astonishment. Shi Qilin and Yuan Feng had been faking their madness, but his teacher had truly been driven insane by their schemes!

Nuwa's narrow eyes were full of disdain. "Is this old eel so easily fooled just because I was tricked into taking one step?"

Feeling utterly exhausted, Fuxi's eyes gleamed with surprise. "I can calculate all things in the world with my innate Eight Trigrams, but I cannot calculate this Lord of the Earth!"

If there is any scheming involved, then what scheming could there be?

The amnesiac Shangqing Tongtian glanced at his teacher Hongjun, then at his other brothers and sisters who shared the same teacher. Why were they all looking at their teacher? Was this out of concern?

Since it's out of concern, we should prevent other accidents or unforeseen events from happening again, like these twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

You guys aren't going to accept it? Well then, I'll take it!

Thinking of this, Shangqing Tongtian decisively waved his sleeve, taking all twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls that were floating in the air into his possession.

""

Shangqing's sudden action caused Hongjun's other disciples, including Hongjun's noodles, to twitch violently.

He! He just snatched the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl away so quickly and gracefully?

Are you sure they erased the memories of Buzhou Mountain's rebellion, or added something else?

"This disciple thanks the teacher for bestowing this treasure."

Shangqing Tongtian was not only quick-witted and nimble-fingered, but also quick to offer thanks.

This act of gratitude left Hongjun and his other disciples speechless.

Just as Hongjun was about to say something to his disciples, his old face suddenly darkened, and he abruptly turned his head to the west.

The other disciples also sensed this and all fixed their solemn gazes on the source in the west.

The presence that made both master and disciple so solemn was an extremely powerful aura!

This aura was unlike theirs; it was a dense killing intent that exuded endless terror from afar!

Just a moment later.

A handsome man dressed in a dark robe appeared before Hongjun and his disciples.

He looked like a scholar, gentle and harmless, yet he made Hongjun look as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

"Rahu! So you were indeed hiding here!"

The person who came here was none other than Demon Ancestor Luo.

After the three races retreated from the prehistoric world, he rushed here from the shores of the East Sea, not for any other reason than to collect the "corpses"!

Hahaha~

Luo Hou looked at Hongjun and couldn't help but burst into laughter, "If you, Hongjun, can be here, what's wrong with me being here too?"

"However, I am quite curious. Now that this great calamity of heaven and earth has ended, and since you, this old centipede, have failed to attain enlightenment, why haven't you left yet?"

Upon hearing these sarcastic remarks, Hongjun's brows furrowed, but he quickly suppressed his anger and smiled, saying, "Luo, you say I cannot attain enlightenment, but do you think you can?"

"Now that you've shown yourself here, haven't you also been tricked by him into only being able to collect the remains of this place?"

"snort!"

Luo, his thoughts exposed, turned ashen-faced and spoke with utter sarcasm, "So what if I am?"

"Even if I am being schemed against, I am still different from you."

"Even if the three races retreat, I can still use their remaining corpses, blood, and essence to forge my Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!"

"And what about you?"

"All you can do, Hongjun, is rage and scream in a fit of impotence!"

"I foresee that it won't be long before you develop inner demons, enter my demonic path, and sit in the position of deputy leader of my demonic path! Hahahaha~"

Mockingly by Rahu, Hongjun decisively rebelled, "Heh~ If I fail to attain enlightenment, perhaps I will develop inner demons?"

"And what about you?"

"You've schemed for so long, yet your demonic energy was suppressed by heaven and earth. With just these remnants of blood and souls, how could your Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation possibly be completely unsealed?"

"If you fail to attain enlightenment, your inner demons may no longer be yourself, but have become them!"

"Why don't you cultivate my path of immortality and abandon the demonic path?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Luo, whose thoughts had also been exposed, was so angry that his eyebrows shot up. He gripped the God-Slaying Spear tightly in his hand, and it suddenly appeared. "Hongjun, do you want to fight me here?"

Seeing this, Hongjun showed no fear. The Pangu Banner suddenly appeared in his palm. "Luo, do you really think I would fear you?"

"However, now is not the time for you to fight me. I know you are descended from the blood of three races. My decision not to go to the Dragon Palace is also for the opportunity on the Three Immortal Islands!"

"Heh~"

Luo Hou smiled with relief, "Hongjun, your plan is sound. You and I will not disturb each other, and you can each take what you need."

"But have you forgotten that there is another fellow Daoist on that Penglai Island?"

Even if we don't compete, how could he, who occupies Penglai, just stand by and watch this opportunity fall into our hands?

"What Fellow Daoist Rahu said is absolutely right."

As soon as Luo finished speaking, a faint laugh echoed from Penglai Island, "I can disregard the life essence here, and I can forgo the opportunities on the other two islands, but Penglai belongs exclusively to my Five Elements!"

The moment the words were spoken, an old man appeared outside Penglai Island; it was none other than the Five Elements Ancestor.

The mention of the Five Elements made both Hongjun and Luohou's expressions quite unpleasant.

When it comes to the opportunities on the Three Immortal Islands, no matter how strong other spiritual roots and treasures are, can they be stronger than Huang Zhong and Li Yao?

Huang Zhongli is the top-ranked person with the best innate spiritual root!

A continuous stream of Great Luo Golden Immortals—

Even Hongjun and Luohou were very envious.

The Five Elements Ancestor naturally saw the "hunger" of these two, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Fellow Daoists, I suppose you have already realized that our gathering here today is also a result of his long-term planning, just like the three races."

Upon hearing this, both Luo and Hongjun felt deeply helpless.

They naturally knew that the reason the three of them were there was because they had been tricked by Zhen Yuanzi!

Even knowing they were being schemed against, they still had to fight for the opportunities and essence of the Three Immortal Islands!

After all, this was extremely important to them, as it involved achieving enlightenment faster; every little bit of speed was crucial.

Seeing that Hongjun and Luo Buyan still seemed unwilling to give up their rivalry, Wuxing could only continue to speak solemnly: "Fellow Daoists, you two were focused on this opportunity to prove yourselves, so you did not notice anything else amiss."

"But I have been observing from the sidelines on Penglai Immortal Island. This is not my opportunity to attain enlightenment, so I see things much more clearly than you two fellow Daoists."

"oh?

"

The mention of the Five Elements greatly surprised both Hongjun and Luozhu.

"Please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist Five Elements!"

"Fellow Daoist of the Five Elements, please speak frankly!"

Wu Xing shook his head, his tone tinged with bitterness, "Don't you two fellow Daoists realize that our current gathering here, whether we fight for opportunities or peacefully distribute them, is also a result of his machinations, causing us to be delayed until now, just like before?"

Geek!

Upon hearing these words, Rahu and Hongjun suddenly understood.

They were all too familiar with this feeling of being held back!

"Are you still dragging us along? Why?"

"Now that the three races have jointly retreated from the primordial world, our path to enlightenment has been delayed. Why does he want to delay it even further?"

"Could it be?!"

suddenly!

It seemed that the three patriarchs, Hongjun, Wuxing, and Luo, had simultaneously realized something.

They all turned their astonished gazes toward Zhen Yuanzi's direction and exclaimed, "Could he be planning to help something else come into being?"
