Seventy-second calm undercurrent

  The war was won at the cost of countless lives, and this battle between Candle Nine Yin and Hong Jun Dao Zu caused immense harm to the entire Hongyuan, with countless lives lost due to them. Both sides suffered heavy casualties.

  Hong Jun Dao Zu closed himself in the Purple Palace and no longer asked about the Hong Huang matter, Zhu Jiu Yin also refused to show his face, making everyone unclear about the severity of his injuries.

  Perhaps only Hong Jun Dao Zu is clear about the severity of Zhu Jiu Yin's injury, and in contrast, the Wu tribe has not stopped its expansionist pace and continues to march into the vast expanse.

  As for Di Jun and Tai Yi, under the pressure of the Wu tribe, they had to abandon their power established on Hong Huang and instead marched into the Heavenly Court created by Hongjun Dazuo, thus the two tribes of Wu and Yao became one heaven and one earth, and there was no more struggle between them.

  Di Jun and Tai Yi, the two brothers, seized the Heavenly Court, allowing many people with grudges against Zhu Jiuyin in the vast wilderness to come and surrender. Among them were Fu Xi, Nüwa Niangniang, and Kunpeng. The demon tribe was rising in power in the wilderness, becoming a major force second only to the Wu tribe. The development of the demon tribe made some people restless, namely Donghu Emperor.

  In the past, Donghua Emperor could still use the name of Hongjun Daozu to intimidate many powerful experts in the vast wilderness. However, after that great war, everyone no longer had the same fear for Hongjun Daozu as before, because they saw hope from Zhu Jiuyin's body, a hope that transcended ranks and fought against all odds.

  Of course, the most important thing is that Hong Jun Dao Zu is no longer a saint, and Hong Jun Dao Zu who are not saints pose a negligible threat to them, because they have also found ways to impact quasi-saints.

  As for the changes on the Honghuang at this moment, Hongjun Daozu's heart is filled with boundless regret. If he had known that his battle with Zhujiu Yin would result in such severe damage, and that he would be knocked out of the realm of sainthood, then he would not have passed down the Quasi-Saint Dao so quickly, causing many powerful experts in Honghuang to lose their reverence for him.

  After the battle between Honghuang and Zhu Jiuyin, as well as Hong Jun Daozu, although on the surface it seemed relatively calm, everyone knew that before long there would be another fierce struggle for power, because everyone was holding back their strength to break through the boundary, hoping to become a quasi-sage first and intimidate the world.

  However, among these people, the most restricted ones are Emperor Jun and Taiyi brothers. Who made them two brothers arrogant and provocative, first provoking Xuanjiu to be seriously injured? Although they occupy the heavenly court, what they rely on is the pre-heavenly treasure 'Hunyuan Bell' in their hands, as well as the pre-heavenly spiritual treasures 'Hetu' and 'Luoshu'. In terms of their own cultivation, they are weaker than others.

  One hundred years have passed, two hundred years have also passed, and the vast land of Honghuang is still calm. Everyone is frantically improving their cultivation, the demon tribe is like this, and the witch tribe is no exception.

  In the battle between Zhu Jiuyin and Hong Jun Daozu, although it damaged the luck of the Wu tribe, for Emperor Jiang and other ancestral witches, it was a great gain. They all used the "Twelve Heavenly Spirit Array" to understand the Pangu Great Way, allowing themselves to have a clear understanding of their cultivation, which is an advantage.

  As for the nine yin self-exposure of the twelve heavenly gods, although they suffered some damage, it was not severe, because they believed that as long as the nine yin recovered to its original state, they could re-refine this treasure.

  As for recovery, it was a difficult task for Zhu Jiu Yin. The blow from the "Regicide Gun" could be said to have injured his foundation. Although Zhu Jiu Yin had the help of Hei Lian, his recovery was very slow. It is said that one must break down before standing up again, but this time he was hurt at the root. Most importantly, Zhu Jiu Yin and Hong Jun Dao Zu's bloody battle consumed too much blood and energy, and his divine heart suffered heavy damage, naturally resulting in a huge discount on his recovery.

  Compared to the physical body, Jiu Yin's spiritual cultivation recovered very quickly. After all, the spiritual path is different from the physical body, and as long as there is enough faith, it will make rapid progress. Since Jiu Yin broke through the constraints of the Great Way and gained its recognition, he was unimpeded in this aspect.

  The cultivation of the Tao can make rapid progress, but on the Tao's most precious treasure, Zhu Jiu Yin is a headache. Last time he recklessly moved the four temples, it shook his foundation. For a while, wanting to refine the four temples again was not an easy task, because his materials were insufficient. You know that refining the temple requires massive material support, and for those four temples, Zhu Jiu Yin had invested all his family's wealth.

  Others only saw Candle Nine's Yin One burst, which made Hong Jun Dao Zu fall into a falling flower and flowing water. But who knew that Candle Nine's Yin paid such a heavy price in this explosion?

  Two hundred years was not enough time for Zhu Jiu Yin to recover his cultivation, which goes to show how severe his injuries were. Fortunately, at this point, Zhu Jiu Yin had already eliminated the primordial spirit of Hong Jun Dao Zu from the 'God-slaying Gun'. As for this pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, Zhu Jiu Yin did not have even a hint of greed in his heart. Although the 'God-slaying Gun' was extremely powerful, to Zhu Jiu Yin it was merely a useless trinket because he had found his own path and walked the path of dominance, cultivating himself. The strongest weapon was his own body, and the 'God-slaying Gun', this pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, could only gather dust in his hands.

  Zhu Jiu Yin had thought about it, and having this treasure in hand would greatly increase his combat power. At least with this treasure in hand, he would have enough ability to threaten the safety of Hong Jun Dao Zu. However, Zhu Jiu Yin ultimately gave up because he was afraid that he would be too focused on external objects and neglect his own cultivation. The "God-Killing Spear" was good, but compared to his own cultivation, it was nothing.

  Of course, Zhu Jiu Yin himself didn't need to use the 'Regicide Gun', this innate spiritual treasure, but that didn't mean others couldn't use it. So, Zhu Jiu Yin found an owner for it, and that was Zu Wu Emperor Jiang.

  Two hundred years later, the cultivation of Candle Nine Yin had recovered more than half, at least the recovery of his divine way made him fearless of others. So after two hundred years, he finally left the tribe and met with Emperor Jiang and other ancestral witches in the Pangu Temple.

  In the span of two hundred years, it seemed that the Witch tribe swept across the entire Hongyuan continent, with no one daring to confront them. However, during these two hundred years, the pressure faced by the Witch tribe was also immense, after all, that war had left the Witch tribe severely wounded.

  Two hundred years of time had restored nearly half of Jiǔyīn's cultivation. He believed that with the power of Hóngjūn Dào Zǔ, recovery would not be a difficult task. Even if he hadn't fully recovered to the realm of a saint, he was certain to have reached the state of near-sainthood. After all, Hóngjūn Dào Zǔ possessed the 'Huàxiàn Yùdié' (Creation Jade Disc), a treasure from the dawn of time, which even in its damaged state remained an invaluable artifact.

  Jade Nine Yin actually overestimated the ability of Hong Jun Dao Zu, and even more so the ability of the Chaos Treasure 'Creation Jade Disc'. If it were a complete Chaos Treasure, then it wouldn't be too difficult for Hong Jun Dao Zu to recover his power. However, the 'Creation Jade Disc' in Hong Jun Dao Zu's hands was only a fragment of the Chaos Treasure, lacking the complete 3,000 Great Daos within. To eliminate the power of the Great Daos would be very difficult, after all, Hong Jun Dao Zu had gone too far in his previous actions.

  Everything has its own rules, and under the great Tao, everything also has its own rules. Hong Jun Dao Zu directly took action against Zhu Jiu Yin, which was an act of bullying the small with the big, causing the destruction of countless living beings in the vast wilderness, most importantly, it triggered Pan Gu's will to resist, which touched the bottom line of the great Tao.

  Hong Jun Dao Zu wants to attain the Tao, first he must eliminate his own massive karma, only then can he attain the Tao again. Wanting to seize the aura of Xuan Tian's yin body to attain the Tao is not feasible.

  For Hongjun Daozu, now he can only preach the Tao, and only in this way can he eliminate the endless karma on his body.

  As soon as he thought of the great karma on his body, Hong Jun Dao Zu was so angry with Zhu Jiu Yin that he gnashed his teeth, but he had no way to do anything about it. Who would have let Zhu Jiu Yin be ruthless enough to dare to pull down the emperor?

  For someone as ruthless as Zhu Jiu Yin, it's very difficult to deal with him. One careless move and you'll end up hurting yourself. It's precisely because he's so ruthless that no one dares to provoke him.

  Two hundred years of time has allowed many people's cultivation to break through. It can be said that this is thanks to Zhu Jiuyin. If it weren't for his great battle with Hong Jun Dao Zu, the numerous high-ranking individuals in the vast wilderness would not have gained enlightenment from the war, and they might still have a long way to go before breaking through to Quasi-Sainthood.

  The first to break through the quasi-sage was not Fuxi, Nüwa, nor Emperor Jun and Taiyi, but Donghuadijun and Xiwangmu.

  The breakthrough of these two people changed the situation in Honghuang, and the first to be affected was the Four Seas Dragon Clan. The people who were originally attached to the dragon clan were all subdued by Donghua Emperor, fortunately, the Four Seas Dragon King had surrendered to the Wu clan earlier, and with the existence of Zhu Jiuyin, a madman, even if Donghua Emperor's cultivation broke through, he did not dare to provoke the Wu clan. After all, even Hongjun Daozu, such a saint, suffered greatly at Zhu Jiuyin's hands, let alone him, a small quasi-saint.
