Chapter 32 Making a Deal with Hongjun Ancestor
After Qinglian finished speaking, she stared intently at Hongjun Ancestor, waiting for his reply.
Hongjun Patriarch revealed a slight smile, "It's not that I don't want to take you away, but our fates are currently intertwined. If you leave now, you will face a life-threatening crisis in the future."
Qinglian was startled, wondering if Hongjun was trying to scare her.
"What life-or-death crisis?"
Hongjun Ancestor said leisurely, "You have merged with the God-Slaying Spear, which is already Rahu's spiritual treasure. Even if I take you away today, Rahu can use the power of the demonic path to summon you back in the future."
"At that time, Rahu will surely discover your existence;"
Moreover, do you really think that you can completely eliminate the malevolent energy within the God-Slaying Spear by relying on your own Taiyi Golden Immortal realm power?
"The malevolent aura on the God-Slaying Spear comes from the remnants of those chaotic demons and gods at the time of creation."
Qinglian's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
"You mean, Rahu has already sensed my presence?"
These Hunyuan Golden Immortals are shrewd and calculating. As a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal, I'll be toyed with and killed sooner or later under their noses!
Hongjun Ancestor smiled and then said, "I wouldn't have discovered you, but I can sense the changes in the God-Slaying Spear, so I should still be able to do that."
"I'm here to resolve any future troubles for you."
After saying that, Hongjun Ancestor flashed his palm, and a jade butterfly radiating a powerful aura and engraved with complex Dao patterns appeared in his palm, shimmering with supreme light.
The Jade Disc of Creation!
Qinglian was somewhat shocked as she sensed the aura emanating from Hongjun Ancestor's palm.
The Creation Jade Disc floated in the hand of Hongjun Ancestor, and then a beam of light was extracted from it and struck the God-Slaying Spear directly.
Then, under Qinglian's gaze, the light fell upon him once more.
Buzz...
The blue lotus at the end of the spear exudes a blue Daoist aura.
Qinglian felt a strange change in her body, but couldn't sense anything unusual.
The voice of Hongjun Patriarch rang out again, "I will use the Dao essence on the Jade Disc of Creation to completely conceal your cause and effect, so that you will not be discovered by Rahu."
"When the demons of the West emerge and we are tasked with stopping them, we hope that you, fellow Daoist, can restrain the God-Slaying Spear for us, in case anything goes wrong."
Qinglian said in a deep voice, "What if I encounter danger then?"
Hongjun Patriarch smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have the Pure World White Lotus as your defense, and you also have the Azure Lotus Treasure Banner on your person, which gives you a glimmer of hope."
"Not enough!" Qinglian whispered.
This matter concerns her own life and death, so how could Qinglian let Hongjun dictate what he said?
For a Taiyi Golden Immortal to think he could survive a life-or-death struggle between several Hunyuan Golden Immortals by relying on just two spiritual treasures is simply delusional!
The smile on Hongjun's face faded, and his tone became somewhat indifferent as he asked, "What do you want?"
Qinglian's eyes flashed, and then she said, "I ended up like this because you plotted against me and dragged me into this great calamity."
All of this has nothing to do with me; the Western karma I bear must be borne by you!
"Secondly, after this ordeal, you must compensate me!"
"Finally, you must save my life!"
Upon hearing this, Hongjun Laozu's eyes flickered slightly.
However, this concerns his attainment of enlightenment, after which he will be free from all karmic consequences.
It's nothing to bear the Western karma that Qinglian carries.
As for saving Qinglian's life, that was an easy task for Hongjun.
In a four-against-one situation, protecting a Taiyi Golden Immortal is a piece of cake.
As for the so-called compensation, it was merely Qinglian restraining the God-Slaying Spear. In Hongjun Ancestor's view, all that was needed at that time was to give Qinglian one or two spiritual treasures.
They immediately agreed, "Okay!"
"I agree to all three of these requests."
Upon hearing this, Qinglian suddenly spoke up, "I don't believe you! You must swear an oath to the Primordial Heavenly Dao!"
Upon hearing this, even the usually calm and collected Hongjun Patriarch couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
"You've gone a bit too far!"
"The Grandmaster Hongjun said in an inexplicable tone."
Qinglian, however, said confidently, "There's no other way; survival is the most important thing."
"You tricked me first; I just wanted to live."
He's now caught in the middle of it all, and nobody can believe him.
Only the Heavenly Dao, which has not yet been born, can make Qinglian believe.
As for why it's not the Great Way.
Heaven knows whether the Great Dao will still care about the affairs of the primordial world after it retires.
If they manage it, that's fine; if they don't, then things are really going to get messed up.
Most importantly, Hongjun will eventually merge his body with the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
With this cause and effect in place, if Hongjun Laozu couldn't do these two things, there was no point in even thinking about achieving the Dao.
Who would want to find someone burdened with karma to be the spokesperson for the Way of Heaven?
Otherwise, when Hongjun Laozu was preaching in Zixiao Palace, he wouldn't have given two holy positions to Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren, leaving the great cause of the Western Paradise to these two brothers.
Hongjun Ancestor stood still, looking at the God-Slaying Spear that was flashing with light, his eyes flickering a few times.
Finally, under Qinglian's gaze, he swore an oath to the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
Buzz...
After Hongjun Laozu finished speaking, Qinglian clearly felt a majestic aura flash past the two of them.
It is clear that Heaven was moved and responded to this.
Qinglian finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Senior, since that's the case, we're still on the same side now."
"I will hold off the God-Slaying Spear for you, but as for anything else, there's nothing I can do."
Hongjun Ancestor looked at Qinglian expressionlessly, then said in a cold tone, "I hope you can keep your word."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hongjun Laozu vanished without a trace.
Qinglian, on the other hand, looked completely indifferent.
As for offending Hongjun Laozu, he didn't care at all.
With Hongjun Patriarch bearing the consequences for him, Qinglian had no more worries.
With prior planning, he could even make Hongjun Laozu owe him a debt of karma.
After Hongjun Laozu became a saint, Qinglian decided to follow the Three Pure Ones and go to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao.
While Hongjun Laozu has not yet merged with the Dao, he will also try to obtain some benefits from Zixiao Palace.
"The future is bright!"
Qinglian's face lit up with joy.
"However, the chaotic demonic energy within the God-Slaying Spear is also something that needs to be addressed."
A thought popped into Qinglian's mind, but he then shelved it.
As a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he simply couldn't dispel the evil aura of the Chaos Demon God.
Even Hongjun Laozu probably couldn't do that, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find Qinglian.
"I haven't sensed any malevolent energy from these chaotic demons yet. Could it be that Rahu has concealed this malevolent energy through some means?"
The methods of the Primordial Golden Immortal are unpredictable, and Qinglian, unable to fathom them, simply gave up trying to understand them.
"Let's take it one step at a time and leave the rest to fate."
Qinglian suppressed her distracting thoughts and began to quiet down.
······
The primordial chaos lasted for countless years.
As the three races continued to fight, the conflict intensified once again.
The demons also secretly plotted against the three races, and a full-scale war broke out between them.
A large number of lives have been drawn into this battle.
However, on this day...
Just after the three clan chiefs were inexplicably lured out of their clan territory.
Each of the three clans sent a figure to the location of their respective clan's treasure vault.
