Chapter 53: Hongjun Merges with the Dao, Plots Against the Witch Clan
The slaughter of humans by the demon race ended with the arrival of the witch race, but this slaughter brought endless sorrow to the human race. Therefore, the human race made a vow that humans and demons could not coexist, vowing to kill any demons they encountered and never forget them for all eternity. The human race's vow had a slight impact on the fate of the demon race, but Di Luo did not care about it at all.
After collecting a large amount of human essence, Di Jun began to refine a divine weapon that could restrain the physical body of the Wu Clan. Di Jun first went to the starry sky to find extraterrestrial crystals, combined them with human essence, and then used the powerful true fire of the sun to forge them in the Sun Star.
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, a voice echoed through the primordial world.
"I, Hongjun, am the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao. I follow the Heavenly Dao and strive for the perfection of the primordial world. I have merged with the Heavenly Dao; from now on, Hongjun is for the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao is no longer for Hongjun!"
"Boom!" Above the nine heavens, a huge image appeared before the eyes of all living beings in the primordial world. In the image, Hongjun's figure slowly merged with the Heavenly Dao Wheel. After an unknown amount of time, Hongjun's figure reappeared, and the Heavenly Dao Wheel was held in Hongjun's palm. The living beings in the primordial world noticed that Hongjun's appearance was less benevolent and more indifferent than before.
"The Heavenly Dao is complete. From this day forward, all living beings in the primordial world will be subject to the supervision of the Heavenly Dao, and good will be rewarded and evil punished according to merit and karma!" Hongjun said.
As soon as the words were spoken, all living beings in the primordial world felt as if an invisible shackle had been placed on them out of thin air.
At Mount Buzhou, the Twelve Ancestral Witches looked at the image of Hongjun and suddenly felt a sense of fear.
"It's over. Hongjun has merged with the Dao, but Uncle has not yet returned. Are we all destined to be at the mercy of Heaven and Hongjun from now on?" Dijiang said, his voice trembling.
Xuan Chu once said that once Hong Jun merges with the Dao, his strength will surpass his. The reason why Hong Jun and the Heavenly Dao did not dare to attack the Wu Clan in the past was because Xuan Chu was there. Now that Hong Jun's strength has surpassed Xuan Chu's, does that mean that the Heavenly Dao and Hong Jun may attack the Wu Clan at any time?
On Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea, Tongtian's heart was filled with unease. He knew very well what it meant for Hongjun to merge with the Dao. As someone who had once betrayed the Heavenly Dao, if the Heavenly Dao were to truly deal with him, Tongtian knew exactly what his fate would be.
"Uncle, when are you coming back?" Tongtian murmured.
"Hahaha, Master has achieved Dao! We no longer need to fear Xuan Chu!" On Mount Kunlun, seeing Hongjun achieve Dao, Yuanshi let out a hearty laugh. As the embodiment of Pangu's primordial spirit, Yuanshi was once extremely proud. However, the battle in the East Sea directly shattered Yuanshi's pride. But Xuan Chu's power had long since made Yuanshi unable to muster the will to fight. Now that Hongjun has achieved Dao, he no longer needs to fear Xuan Chu. Yuanshi vowed that when he sees Hongjun again, he will definitely speak to Hongjun and completely suppress Xuan Chu and Tongtian.
Chaos reigned. As Hongjun merged with the Dao, the Zixiao Palace reappeared. Hongjun sat high on the cloud platform, silently calculating everything that had happened in the prehistoric world over the past thousand years. When he saw the demon race slaughtering the human race, the corners of Hongjun's mouth couldn't help but turn up. Although he had not been involved in worldly affairs for a thousand years, everything in the prehistoric world was still proceeding according to his plan. However, when he saw the witch race coming to rescue the human race, Hongjun frowned.
"Strange, why can't we find any trace of Xuan Chu in the entire prehistoric world?" Seeing the Wu Clan rescuing the human race, Hongjun subconsciously thought it was arranged by Xuan Chu. However, he couldn't find any trace of Xuan Chu in the entire prehistoric world. You must know that he is no longer the same as before. After merging with the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun has successfully advanced to the Heavenly Dao Realm. With the help of the Heavenly Dao, there should be nothing in the prehistoric world that can hide from him. But he just can't find Xuan Chu. So there are only two possibilities: either Xuan Chu has also broken through, or Xuan Chu is not in the prehistoric world.
"Since Xuan Chu is no longer in the Primordial World, it's time for the Lich Tribulation to take another step forward." Compared to Xuan Chu's breakthrough, Hongjun is more convinced that Xuan Chu is not in the Primordial World at this moment. Xuan Chu is already at the peak of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, and the next step is the Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Golden Immortal. This small step is a world of difference, and the difficulty of breaking through is extremely high. Since Xuan Chu is not in the Primordial World, he must have gone to the Chaos to seek opportunities. However, as one of the former Chaos Demon Gods, and one of the strongest, Hongjun believes that Xuan Chu can definitely break through, but this will definitely take a long time. Hongjun wants to take advantage of this time to push forward the Lich Tribulation and create a fait accompli. In this way, even if Xuan Chu returns, it will be of no use.
"It's time for the Six Paths of Reincarnation to appear!" Hongjun murmured, turning his gaze to Mount Buzhou.
Inside the Pangu Palace on Mount Buzhou, Houtu suddenly felt uneasy, her heart unable to find peace for a long time. Seeing Houtu's absent-mindedness, Xuanming asked, "Sister Houtu, what's wrong?"
Houtu shook her head and said, "Sister Xuanming, I don't know either. I just feel a little restless, like there's something I need to do."
"What!" Upon hearing Houtu's words, the group of ancestral witches quickly surrounded Houtu, bombarding her with questions. They felt a headache coming on as Houtu spoke.
"Shut up, all of you!" Xuanming roared, and the group of Ancestral Witches immediately shut their mouths.
Houtu said, "Brothers and sisters, I think it might help me to travel around the prehistoric world and ease my mind."
"Sister Houtu, you mustn't! Hongjun has now merged with the Dao, and Uncle hasn't returned yet. There's no safer place in the entire prehistoric world than the Pangu Palace. You'd better not wander around," Zhu Jiuyin advised. Now that Hongjun has merged with the Dao, the Heavenly Dao could take action against the Twelve Ancestral Witches at any time. Hiding in the Pangu Palace, with its protection, the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun can't do anything to them for the time being. But once they go out, who knows what kind of underhanded tactics the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun might use against Houtu.
Upon hearing this, all the Ancestral Witches except Xuanming advised Houtu not to go out. However, Houtu seemed determined and said, "I understand the intentions of my brothers and sisters, and I am aware of the current situation. But as one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, I am protected by the merits of the creation of the world. Even the Heavenly Dao would not dare to lay a hand on me. Please rest assured, I am just going out for a walk and will be back soon."
As the youngest of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and a woman, Houtu was always doted on by the other eleven. They would never stop her from doing whatever she wanted. This is why the other Ancestral Witches had no objections when Xuan Chu allowed Houtu to temporarily take charge of the Witch Clan. Did they really think that with Xuan Chu's orders and the Hunyuan Sword, they could be subdued by the Ancestral Witches' volatile tempers? How naive! It was only because they loved Houtu that they listened to her.
Now that Houtu is determined to travel to the primordial world, although they strongly disagree, they have no choice but to agree out of love for her.
Dijiang said to Houtu, "Alright then, since you insist on going to the prehistoric world, we, as your older brothers and sisters, can't stop you. But remember, don't go too far or stay away for too long. If you encounter any difficulties, return to the Pangu Palace immediately. With your older brothers and sisters there, no one can hurt you. If... if you really can't come back, run to the East Sea. With my elder brother Tongtian there, you won't be in any danger."
Since Houtu insisted on going out, although they couldn't stop him, they still had some words of advice to give.
"Don't worry, brother. Houtu isn't a child anymore. She knows what to do." Houtu replied with a smile after hearing Dijiang's earnest teachings.
