Chapter 69: Hong Jun's Secret Meeting

  All the saints used their divine consciousness to investigate Emperor Wu, and their faces also became solemn. The physical strength of this Emperor Wu can actually emit the aura of a pre-heavenly treasure, and his power is probably not weaker than that of Emperor Jiang himself. The strength of the Witch tribe has risen again by a lot.

  Suddenly, a tremor occurred in the primordial spirit, and all the saints were greatly surprised. Hong Jun actually summoned himself, and he didn't dare to hesitate, so he immediately flew towards the Purple Mansion.

  The Three Pure Ones met in front of the Zixu Palace, and except for paying respects to Laozi, Yuanshi and Tongtian did not exchange greetings. The three of them walked straight into the Zixu Palace, found a tatami mat, and sat down quietly. Before long, Nüwa and Zhunti also arrived one after another, sat down in order, and waited silently for Hongjun to appear.

  After everyone had taken their seats, Hongjun appeared effortlessly, and the six saints followed one after another to pay their respects.

  "You all sit well." Hong Jun said lightly: "This time, I summoned you all because the Hong Huang Liang Jie is about to rise. As the sacred people of the Heavenly Way, you have the responsibility to guard the Hong Huang and guide the Liang Jie away."

  The crowd of saints listened and suddenly felt a thud in their hearts, they didn't expect another tribulation to arise. After returning, they must remind their disciples to stay in the mountains and cultivate well, and not to go out and wander around.

  "Who should bear the brunt of this calamity?" Laozi asked, but in his heart, he had already guessed a bit - the two tribes of witches and demons were not favored by Heaven's will, and for humanity to prosper, it was only natural that these two tribes would be the ones to bear the calamity.

  "The two tribes of witches are deeply entangled in karma, occupying eight-tenths of the Honghuang's luck. This time, it is only natural that these two tribes should be punished." Hongjun said calmly.

  Nüwa's expression changed instantly, and she became worried. Although she had some guesses, when Hongjun said it out loud, she still couldn't accept it. After all, she was also a member of the demon tribe, enjoying the demon tribe's luck and holding the position of Demon Emperor. Now that she heard the demon tribe would be facing disaster, how could she not worry? In the ancient times, when the three tribes faced disaster, the Phoenix and Qilin tribes were disbanded, and the Dragon tribe fell from being the dominant tribe in the Primordial Chaos to becoming a second-rate tribe that could only live in seclusion by the four seas, not daring to take a step out.

  "The teacher is kind and compassionate, the demon clan has been managing the vast wilderness for countless years, and also holds a position in the heavenly court. Except for some entanglements with the witch clan, there are no major forces binding him, why does he still want to respond to the calamity?" Nuwa asked reluctantly.

  "The two tribes of witches have few births and many deaths, but they also possess the Eight Trigrams' aura, which even a Heavenly Saint wouldn't dare to provoke. If this continues, their numbers will grow into billions and trillions, eventually crushing Heaven and Earth." Hong Jun said calmly, looking at Nüwa.

  "Isn't it that the two tribes of witches will be completely annihilated before they can stop?" Nüwa's face turned pale after hearing this.

  "It's just to curb the numbers of the two tribes, the primordial spirits are too numerous, and the circulation of heaven and earth's spiritual energy is different, which forms the quantitative tribulation, to reduce the number of cultivators, return the spiritual energy to heaven and earth, and make up for the deficiency of heaven and earth, forming a normal cycle. In the past, the three ancient tribes and the demon tribe had many cultivators, the circulation of heaven and earth's spiritual energy was out of balance, and it could not continue to form a cycle, which led to the Dragon Han Initial Tribulation. This reduced the number of people in the four tribes, allowing the circulation of heaven and earth's spiritual energy to return to normal. Now, the two tribes of witches and demons have many cultivators again, once more increasing the burden on heaven and earth, so the quantitative tribulation reappears, and it is inevitable that the numbers of the two tribes must be reduced. It is only natural that these two tribes should meet with disaster." Hong Jun continued to speak, without any emotion.

  Nüwa listened and quickly thought of a way to help the demon clan overcome this disaster.

  Hongjun saw her expression and knew what she was thinking, so he continued to say: "If the calamity is triggered, it must be filled with enough cultivators, otherwise the calamity will not stop and will continue. The two tribes of witches and demons cannot avoid the calamity." Hongjun looked at Nüwa cautiously, "If you want more demons to survive, you must kill more witches to fill the days. However, don't worry, both tribes have no danger of extinction, the demon tribe has the beast path, the witch tribe has the witch path, even if many cultivators die or are injured, it will be better than the ancient phoenix and qilin tribes."

  Nüwa fell silent, her eyes flashing with a cold light as she considered killing more of the witch tribe to protect the demon cultivators, but then Emperor Jiang's image flashed through her mind and her gaze became distant once again.

  Laozi, Yuanshi and Tongtian listened to Hongjun's words, but they didn't have much reaction. However, Zhuanti saw the glint in their eyes, thinking that the two tribes of Wu and Yao were about to face a calamity, and wondered if he could take advantage of it to recruit more talented cultivators for the Western Pure Land. It would be best if he could seize the opportunity when the Wu tribe was facing its tribulation and retrieve the Golden Lotus of Merit. As for the pre-heavenly treasures, the Qiankun Ding and the Hunyuan Bell, the two didn't dare to think about them too much, knowing that such treasures would definitely require great luck and fortune to obtain, and wouldn't be easily acquired.

  Hongjun again instructed some things, and then disappeared on the spot. The saints also left the Purple Mansion, but each person's face was different, with some joyful and others worried.

  Di Jiang, leaving his body behind to take care of things in the clan, returned alone to Pangu Hall and released Kong Xuan and Yu Yi Xian from the Qian Kun Ding, sizing up their cultivation.

  "We have seen our master." The two of them respectfully said in unison.

  "You two are indeed capable, having traveled through an entire yuan conference." Emperor Jiang said calmly.

  "Please, Master, punish us!" The two of them instantly broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to retort.

  "A Yuan level cultivator, yet still unable to break through to the quasi-sage realm boundary. You two indeed deserve punishment."

  Kong Xuan and the two of them curled their lips, breaking through to Quasi-Saint required opportunity, being blocked was also normal, Jiufeng Xingtian and Ao Jiao three were not so. But this could only be said in his heart, he dared not say it in front of Emperor Jiang.

  "I'll punish you by sending you to the Wu Zu's Ten Directions Heavenly Realm for quiet meditation. You won't be allowed out until three years have passed, otherwise don't call me Master again." Emperor Jiang said calmly, but the consequences were severe, directly expelling the two from the sect.

  The two of them heard this and were terrified. Master, what's going on? Can't you just meditate in peace? Why do you have to say something so serious?

  "Have you two heard clearly?" Emperor Jiang continued to ask.

  "We obey your orders!" they said in unison.

  "Then why don't you hurry up and go?" Emperor Jiang said coldly.

  The two of them didn't dare hesitate and quickly flew towards the Thirty-Three Heavens.

  Watching the two figures leave, Emperor Jiang let out a sigh, hoping that they would really listen and not come out until after the Three Yuan Conference, otherwise, with the witch and demon calamity together, he didn't even know if he could keep them safe.

  Emperor Jiang shook his head, stepped into the Ancestral Witch Temple, and carefully examined the Merit Golden Lotus he had seized from the two Westerners. Seeing that the golden light flowing on it was very mysterious, without hesitation, the last bit of evil intention in his primordial spirit flew out and attached itself to the Merit Golden Lotus, instantly transforming into a yellow-robed Taoist with a face similar to Emperor Jiang's.

  At the same time, Emperor Jiang shook his body and three more people flew out. They were the evil corpses cut down by Zaohua Qinglian, Miesshi Heilian, and Yehuo Honglian. Now all four evil corpses are complete, but they have generated a lot of attraction among themselves.

  The Innate Treasure Four-Colored Lotus Platform was about to emerge. Emperor Jiang thought to himself, and suddenly let out a loud "Combine!" The four evil corpses merged together like the Twelve Devil Gods, and in an instant, they disappeared. A gray-robed cultivator appeared, with a cold gaze, but his appearance remained identical to that of Emperor Jiang.

  "I've seen the real thing."

  "No need for courtesy, from now on you will be known as Four Colors Lotus Platform's cut out, and henceforth you will be a Lotus Platform Daoist."

  "Lotus Platform Disciple thanks the Honorable Master for bestowing a Dharma name."

  "You and I are one, no need for such formalities."

  Lotus Platform people stood on one side, no longer speaking.

  This time, Emperor Jiang deliberately suppressed it, and the aura of the First Heaven Treasure did not spread out. Moreover, the Pangu Temple has a shielding effect on heavenly exploration, so the emergence of the Four-Color Lotus Platform did not attract the attention of others. However, I suppose many saints can guess a bit. Emperor Jiang used the Five-Colored Flag and the Four-Sided Lotus Platform to slay corpses, but what he is planning, who knows? Especially Hong Jun, who has been paying close attention to this matter, the emergence of Pan Hun Tian Qing Lotus poses a threat to the Heavenly Way.

  Why is Hong Jun so wary of Hun Dun Qing Lian's emergence? Don't you see that Pan Gu was born from it, and if Emperor Jiang can really gather Hun Dun Qing Lian to prove the Tao, he might become the next Pan Gu. If Emperor Jiang didn't have the position of a hegemon, Hong Jun would have taken action to seal him long ago. However, the Heavenly Way has no emotions and will not take action until the last moment. After all, among the five-colored flags, there is still a plain-colored Yun Jie flag in Hong Jun's hands. If he doesn't bring it out, Emperor Jiang will never be able to rely on killing corpses to prove the Tao.

  "The plain-colored cloud boundary flag, ah, the three corpses have been beheaded and can be released again." Emperor Jiang sat cross-legged in the Ancestor Witch Temple, but he didn't plan to go out again. His own evil corpse and self-corpse were beheaded by different methods, all of which had the cultivation of Quan Sheng Peak. With these two people, it was enough to deal with ordinary affairs.
