The Thirty-Ninth Chapter on Merit and Virtue

  Yue Jiuyin turned and left, Emperor Jiang and the others didn't say a word, closely following Yue Jiuyin. To them, this Hong Jun Daozu was too formidable, with every move capable of killing them.

  After Candle Nine Yin left, Hong Jun Dao Zu shook his head secretly, very disdainful of Candle Nine Yin's impolite behavior. In his opinion, Candle Nine Yin was the next Ancestor Dragon, and would ultimately be unable to escape death. After all, proving the Way through force was not feasible, and Pangu Great God was a good example.

  In Hong Jun Dao Zu's mind, he believed that the Nine Yin and Wu tribes had no yuan Shen, and the only way to achieve enlightenment was through brute force. Unfortunately, Hong Jun Dao Zu was wrong, and the Three Thousand Great Daos were not just suitable for the Wu tribe with brute force.

  Hong Jun Dao Zu looked at Fu Xi and Nüwa Niangniang with a glance, saying: "You are on your own, don't easily provoke cause and effect in the future. I can save you once, but I won't be able to save you for a lifetime!"

  Hong Jun Dao Zu said and then disappeared in front of everyone, just like he had just appeared, coming without a shadow and leaving without a trace!

  Unfortunately, Hongjun Daozu's words did not leave a deep impression on Nüwa and Fuxi, who were suddenly attacked by Zhu Jiuyin with a fatal blow, which ignited the boundless hatred in their hearts. At this time, they were completely blinded by hatred and could no longer hear Hongjun Daozu's warning.

  Hongjun Daozu also saw the thoughts in the hearts of Nüwa and Fuxi, so he warned them, but Hongjun Daozu's kindness was ignored by people.

  Although Fuxi had recovered his physical body, his eyes were filled with endless hatred. Seeing the expressions of Fuxi and Nüwa Niangniang, he was always afraid that he would be remembered by Zhu Jiuyin. At this time, having Fuxi and Nüwa in front of him blocking Zhu Jiuyin made him very happy. The more intense Fuxi and Nüwa's reactions were, the safer he felt. He couldn't wait for Fuxi and Nüwa to go find Zhu Jiuyin to take revenge.

  After the disturbance caused by Zhu Jiuyin, Kun Peng no longer had the mood to argue with Hongyun, Zhunti, and Jieyin about their seats. Of course, even if he wanted to, he couldn't find anyone to argue with, as Zhunti and Jieyin had already sneaked away when Hongjun Daozu appeared.

  As for Hong Yun, he also escaped with the help of Zhen Yuanzi and even if Kun Peng wanted to find someone to vent his anger on, he could only suppress the flames of rage in his heart.

  As for the departure of Zhunti, Jieyin and Hongyun, Emperor Jun and Taiyi were aware of it. After all, they didn't fear Candle Nine like Kunpeng did, and their minds were focused on the battle between Candle Nine and Fuxi, Nüwa. Although these two saw the departure of Zhunti and others, they didn't remind Kunpeng. Despite Emperor Jun and Taiyi's words being nice, they actually didn't think so. For them, it was better not to offend anyone if possible. After witnessing the horror of Candle Nine, these two had other thoughts about Kunpeng, that scoundrel.

  Zhu Jiu Yin was able to stand up to Hong Jun Dao Zu without backing down, and from his mouth they also learned that Zhu Jiu Yin knew the way of proving the Tao. What's more, Zhu Jiu Yin had participated in the Dragon Phoenix Great Tribulation, all of which was too shocking for them. They really didn't want to provoke Zhu Jiu Yin, a madman, at this time.

  When Kunpeng came back to his senses and couldn't find the figures of Jiāo Yǐn, Zhǔn Tí, and Hóng Yún, he naturally knew that Dì Jùn and Tài Yī, these two brothers, were likely to have ideas in their hearts. After all, he wasn't a fool. As for these two brothers, Kunpeng also had his guard up, fearing that they would sell him out to please Zhu Róng.

  Di Jun and Tai Yi, these two brothers had such an idea, but they had a thief's heart but not a thief's courage. After all, they did not understand Zhu Jiu Yin, nor did they understand Kun Peng. Most importantly, the two brothers were ambitious, leaving Kun Peng behind would also attract Zhu Jiu Yin's attention, which was a good thing for them.

  Then said Zhu Jiuyin, after returning to the Pangu Temple from the midst of chaos, his heart was always thinking about this collision with Hong Jun Daozu.

  After returning to the temple, looking at Emperor Jiang and others who were hesitant to speak, Zhu Jiu Yin smiled calmly and said: "Big brother, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. We are brothers, there's no need to be polite!"

  Upon hearing Zhu Jiu Yin's words, Emperor Jiang let out a sigh of relief. Although they were brothers, Emperor Jiang and the others still felt uneasy around Zhu Jiu Yin. After all, since his birth, Zhu Jiu Yin had always had his own thoughts and his actions were different from theirs, which made Emperor Jiang naturally cautious.

  Di Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Second brother, what level has your cultivation reached now? Compared to Hong Jun Dao Zu, how much of a gap is there with your current cultivation?"

  Upon hearing Emperor Jiang's words, Zhu Jiu Yin naturally understood the implication of his statement and thus smiled wryly: "Big brother, don't look at me as if I dare to ignore Hong Jun Dao Zu's warning directly, but when it comes to cultivation, I'm far inferior. The power of a saint is not something you or I can comprehend. As for my own cultivation, I've only just entered the realm of quasi-sainthood. The gap between quasi-saint and true saint is like heaven and earth!"

  Di Jiang furrowed his brow and said, "Since your cultivation is far inferior to that of Hong Jun Dao Zu, why did you insist on being so stubborn earlier? Are you not afraid that Hong Jun Dao Zu will kill you in a fit of anger?"

  For these Di Jiang ancestors, they didn't know the true meaning of those words in the conversation between Zhu Jiu Yin and Hong Jun Dao Zu. For them, in the vast wilderness, the strong were respected, and since Zhu Jiu Yin's cultivation was inferior to that of Hong Jun Dao Zu, he had no ability to protect himself. As for the matter of Zhu Jiu Yin having boundless merit on his body, it wasn't even considered by them; what they cared about was only one thing: strength.

  Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiu Yin secretly shook his head. Without a Yuan Shen, one cannot understand the Great Dao; this is the difference. He had already made things clear in his conversation with Hong Jun Dao Zu, but for people like Emperor Jiang, they still did not comprehend. How could this not worry Zhu Jiu Yin?

  "Big brother, although my cultivation is not as good as Hong Jun's, I'm not afraid of him either. You don't understand the use of merits, but Hong Jun does. We are the descendants of the Heavenly God, with the Heavenly God's merit of opening up heaven and earth suppressing our own destiny. As long as our destiny remains intact, Hong Jun wouldn't dare to kill me. Otherwise, under the heavens, he won't have a good ending either!"

  Di Jiang shook his head and said, "Second brother, I'm not clear about the situation with Gong De. Can you explain to us in detail why this Gong De would make even a saint like Hong Jun Dao Zu come to fear it?"

  Di Jiang wanted to listen, Zhu Jiu Yin was naturally willing to explain. For him, this was a good thing. After all, if Di Jiang and his people understood the benefits of merit, they would be more cautious in their actions later on, and perhaps avoid the fate of dying in the war against the witch demons.

  "Big brother wants to hear, so I'll explain. When it comes to merits, that's the Heavenly Way rewarding those who have made contributions to Heaven and Earth. This Heaven and Earth was opened by Pangu Father God, and the Heavenly Way owes a debt of gratitude to Father God. After Father God opened the heavens and fell, his supreme merit in opening the heavens was inherited by us, not just the twelve of us, but also the Three Pure Ones who inherited Father God's merit in opening the heavens. The Heavenly Way owes a debt of gratitude to Father God, so as long as we don't do evil deeds that ruin our own merits and destroy our own destiny, whoever wants to kill us will have to consider the existence of the Heavenly Way. Perhaps for someone at the level of Daluo Jinxian, they may not know the importance of merits, but for a sage like Hongjun Daozu, he is very clear about the use of merits!"

  When they heard Jiu Yin's explanation, Emperor Jiang and the others' eyes lit up, and Emperor Jiang hastily said: "So to say, we no longer need to have any concerns, we can completely roam freely in the vast expanse!"

  As soon as Emperor Jiang spoke, Zhu Jiu's heart secretly sighed: "It's all over. Not only did we fail to make them wary, but instead, we've stirred up their greed!"

  "Brother, things are not like that. If we act recklessly, our own merits will be harmed. Once our merits disappear, we will also lose the protection of our ancestors!"

  Unfortunately, Zhu Jiu Yin's words did not leave a deep impression on Emperor Jiang and the others. Perhaps among all the ancestors of the Wu tribe, only Hou Tu Niang Niang had some understanding, but what could she do alone? This made Zhu Jiu Yin extremely disappointed.

  But it's already happened, and he can't do anything about it. Regret is useless, after all, Zhu Jiuyin knows what will happen to the descendants of the Wu family in the future!
