Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 244 Haotian's Desperate Gamble

Yang Chan nodded, not quite understanding.

As a young child, she had no idea what the Precious Lotus Lantern, an extremely special, top-grade spiritual treasure, meant.

She only knew that Bao Lian Deng was very close to her and she also liked Bao Lian Deng very much.

After Yang Chan obtained the Precious Lotus Lantern, her cultivation speed also increased a lot. In just a few months, she had already cultivated to the realm of refining the spirit and returning to emptiness.

Yang Chan's second brother, Yang Jian, is the son of destiny for the next catastrophe. His cultivation speed is even faster than Yang Chan.

Within a few months, Yang Jian's cultivation level had skyrocketed and he had reached the peak of Lianxu Hedao. He was only one step away from becoming an earthly immortal. Such a terrifying speed of cultivation was so fast that even Bixiao could not help but exclaim that it was abnormal.

Even Bai Jing would often devote a bit of his spiritual awareness to paying attention to Yang Jian when he was in seclusion.

Time flies like water. In the blink of an eye, the world has changed dramatically. Five hundred years have passed.

During these five hundred years, nothing major happened in the ancient world, except that members of each race would disappear from time to time, and some would inexplicably change their personalities, or even go crazy.

However, these situations occurred in acquired creatures with low cultivation levels, or even those that were unable to cultivate, and therefore did not attract much attention.

Among the human race, Da Xia is experiencing a decline from prosperity.

The Human Emperor of Da Xia is generally replaced every thousand years. When the previous Human Emperor abdicates, they usually have the cultivation level of refining the spirit and returning to emptiness. They will directly choose to practice in seclusion. Those with better qualifications can become earth immortals, but most of them will just sit and die.

Now the throne of the Human Emperor has been passed to Xia Gao.

Xia Gao was a man of average talent, who was greedy for pleasure and fond of beautiful women. During his reign, the once prosperous Great Xia began to decline, and rebellions often occurred in border areas.

The wise ministers around Xia Gao tried to persuade him, but were instead punished by Xia Gao and thrown into jail. This caused chaos throughout Daxia and the people were filled with resentment.

In the human world, Dayu, who was practicing with Shennong, was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and his eyes were full of anger.

"Unfilial descendants, unfilial descendants. That bastard Qi went against the majority opinion and insisted on establishing Great Xia, which destroyed the abdication system that has been passed down by our human race for a long time. His descendants have now done such a ridiculous thing and have turned a good country into this state. Today I must teach these unfilial descendants a lesson." As he said this, Dayu tore through space and was about to leave the human world to go to Xia State to teach Xia Gao a lesson.

Shennong, who was standing by, waved his hand and closed the space crack torn by Dayu. He said calmly, "Emperor Yu should not interfere."

Dayu said with a sad heart, "The unfilial descendants have behaved recklessly, causing the fortune of our human way to weaken. We must clean up the mess and choose another virtuous person to inherit the throne of the emperor."

Shennong shook his head and said, "The rise and fall of human dynasties are determined by fate. Emperor Yu can intervene this time, but will he continue to intervene when he encounters a foolish ruler next time?"

"Why not? We are not imprisoned, and the Virgin Mary and humanity have not said that we cannot interfere in the affairs of the human dynasty. What's wrong with us taking action?"

“Emperor Yu, you still don’t understand what I mean. Back then, the Holy Mother and Saint Bai Jing never interfered with the development of our human race. They only ensured that our human race would not be destroyed and would not be swayed by the will of the saints.

As the ancestors of the human race, you and I should believe in the wisdom of future generations and believe that they will create a more glorious future than ours."

Shennong's words were like a slap in the face, which immediately woke Dayu up.

Dayu was filled with shame. He bowed to Shennong and said, "Thank you, Emperor Di, for your guidance. It was my fault for being reckless."

Shennong smiled and said, "Emperor Yu doesn't need to worry too much. The Xia Dynasty may not be defeated by Xia Gao."

Dayu's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although he was cursing his unfilial descendants, who would want to see the dynasty established by his descendants collapse like this?
Shennong is a saint of humanity and is most sensitive to the destiny of humanity. What he said shows that there is still hope for Daxia.

Thinking of this, Dayu's heart was completely settled. He sat back obediently and continued to practice with Shennong.

At the same time, above Yingzhou Fairy Island, two young men were fighting.

One of them had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, looked very heroic, wore silver-white armor, held a spear in his hand, and exuded the aura of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but his aura was a little ostentatious, and it was obvious that he had just broken through not long ago.

This young man was none other than Yang Jian, a disciple of Jade Ding Zhenren.

The other young man was taller, with white hair, white eyebrows, and even white hair on his body.

This young man was of sturdy build, with bulging muscles all over his body, as solid as a rock. He held a white jade pillar in his hand and also had the cultivation level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but his aura was obviously much more restrained than Yang Jian's. It was obvious that he had broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level for some time and had already consolidated his realm.

This young man was naturally Kong Xuan’s disciple Yuan Hong.

In just 500 years, Yuan Hong and Yang Jian had already broken through to the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Yuan Hong was lucky. Not long after he was accepted as a disciple by Kong Xuan, he broke through to the Golden Immortal level. Kong Xuan had a five-needle pine in his hand. Yuan Hong directly took the spiritual fruit of the five-needle pine and condensed the five energies in his chest. He saved himself tens of thousands of years of hard practice and his cultivation reached the peak of the Golden Immortal level.

Then Yuan Hong secluded himself for 400 years, broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, and spent another hundred years consolidating his cultivation to achieve his current strength.

In contrast, Yang Jian was simply a monster among monsters. It only took him a few months to reach the level of Lianxu Hedao after he started practicing.

One year later, Yang Jian broke through to become an earthly immortal, and five years later, he broke through to become a celestial immortal.

After that, Yang Jian's cultivation level increased like a rocket. He became a True Immortal in 35 years, a Mysterious Immortal in 300 years, and a Golden Immortal when he was just years old.

Yang Jian, who broke through to the Golden Immortal, also took the five-needle pine fruit given to him by Kong Xuan. After 200 years of seclusion, he had broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Such a speed of breakthrough shocked the entire Yingzhou Fairy Island. Looking at the countless creatures in the prehistoric world, no one could reach the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal after practicing for 500 years like Yang Jian.

Bai Jing was not surprised by this. Yang Jian was destined to be the emperor, so it was reasonable that he cultivated faster.

Moreover, there was a monkey behind him who had been a disciple for 10 years and had studied Taoism seriously for three years. He had already reached the strength of a demon king. Later, after eating the peaches and golden elixirs, he broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level in an even shorter time than Yang Jian. Moreover, when the monkey was pressed under the Five Finger Mountain, his cultivation was at least at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, which was much faster than Yang Jian's cultivation speed.

The focus returned to Yang Jian and Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong had an idea and put away the white jade pillar in his hand. Instead, he took out an iron rod which was a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure: "Junior brother, the magic weapon in your hand is useless, and I will not use the white jade pillar. I will fight you with the ordinary iron rod that I made myself." "Thank you, senior brother, for giving way to me." Yang Jian thanked him, and then the brothers fought together.

The spiritual skills practiced by these two people are both "The True Explanation of White Lotus Hunyuan", but their body protection skills are different. Yuan Hong's is "Eight-Nine Profound Art" and Yang Jian's is "Nine-Transformation Profound Art".

This is not to say that Kong Xuan was not concerned about his disciple and did not pass on the "Nine Revolutions Profound Art" to him, but that Yuan Hong's "Eight-Nine Profound Art" was only one step away from being cultivated to perfection. If he could cultivate it to perfection and then practice the "Nine Revolutions Profound Art", he would be able to reach the fifth revolution of the Profound Art in one go and possess a Daluo physical body.

And Yang Jian has been practicing the "Nine Revolutions Profound Art" from the very beginning, and now he has only reached the third level of the Profound Art. With the help of the spiritual fruit of the five-needle pine, Yang Jian's spiritual cultivation is higher than his physical body.

Speaking of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, Bai Jing has been refining the chaotic spiritual energy, as well as various minerals and strange substances in the chaos over the years with the help of the Devouring and Purification Avenue.

Now Bai Jing has reached the peak of the eighth level of Xuan Gong, and is only one step away from the ninth level of Xuan Gong.

But when Bai Jing was practicing, he found that the most important thing to break through the ninth level of Xuan Gong was not to increase the strength of the physical body by constantly devouring spiritual objects, but to integrate the body into the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Now Bai Jing has only comprehended 1900 great ways, and there is still a long way to go before he can comprehend 3000 great ways, let alone integrate these great ways with his physical body.

Therefore, Bai Jing's practice of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art has been temporarily stagnant, and all his energy has been focused on comprehending the Three Thousand Great Ways.

Of course, no one on Yingzhou Fairy Island could understand Bai Jing's realm.

Compared to understanding Bai Jing's realm, it is easier to watch Yang Jian and Yuan Hong fight.

The brothers started fighting each other. They all started with the White Lotus Magic, interspersed with the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Demon Magic. In the blink of an eye, both sides had fought for hundreds of rounds. Yang Jian was caught by Yuan Hong and was knocked out with a stick.

Yuan Hong chuckled and said, "Junior Brother Yang Jian, although your cultivation speed is amazing, I broke through the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm a hundred years earlier than you. Today, Junior Brother is afraid that he will lose."

Yang Jian also smiled when he heard this: "The outcome has not yet been decided, Senior Brother Yuan Hong, please don't jump to conclusions so early."

As soon as Yang Jian finished speaking, his right hand brushed across his eyebrows, and his eyes opened.

From the divine eyes, a ray of white light suddenly shot towards Yuan Hong.

Countless white lights flashed before Yuan Hong's eyes, and he felt dizzy. Yang Jian took advantage of the time he had gained, raised the tip of his spear, and his aura suddenly burst out. Strong magic power surged out and pierced straight into Yuan Hong's throat.

After all, Yuan Hong has been practicing for so many years. Although he cannot see for the time being, the sense of crisis coming from the dark still makes his face change drastically. Yuan Hong retreated backwards at a rapid speed, narrowly avoiding Yang Jian's attack.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Yuan Hong's forehead. The tip of Yang Jian's spear just passed in front of his eyes like a meteor. The tip of the spear had already landed on Yuan Hong's throat and touched his skin. Yuan Hong could even feel the coldness coming from his throat.

If he hadn't been naturally more flexible after transforming into a white ape, he would have already lost.

"Brother, you are too fast. My Divine Eyes are your trump card. Even though I attacked suddenly, I couldn't hurt you at all. I lose." After saying that, Yang Jian bowed to Yuan Hong.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Yang Jian, I can't see right now. If you continue to attack, I'm afraid I won't be able to dodge every time. You are still more skilled, and I admit defeat."

"Brother, you are wrong. Even if I beat you, I have no confidence that I can break your profound skills. How about we even if we are tied?"

"Alright! That makes it a draw!"

After that, the two brothers put away their weapons at the same time. Yang Jian flew to Yuan Hong and asked with concern: "Brother Yuan Hong, I'm sorry, are your eyes okay?"

"It's okay." Yuan Hong shook his head, and after a moment he opened his eyes by himself.

Then Yuan Hong looked at Yang Jian with envy and asked, "When did you develop that divine eye between your eyebrows? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Yang Jian did not tell Yuan Hong that the divine eye between his eyebrows was formed after he devoured a large amount of Bi Xiao's merits. Instead, he told Yuan Hong the excuse he had discussed with Bi Xiao: "Brother, after I broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal, I felt an itch between my eyebrows, and then the blessing spirit came, and the divine eye between my eyebrows opened."

After hearing this, Yuan Hong said with envy, "This should be the legendary innate magical power."

"Yes, it is somewhat similar, but innate magical powers are only possessed by innate gods. For example, our master's innate magical power is to purify all things. I am not an innate god, but just an acquired creature. Logically, I should not have innate magical powers, but it appears. So I am not sure whether the Heavenly Eye is an innate magical power like the innate gods."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong smiled and said, "Junior brother, this must be a natural gift, and a top-notch one at that.

These innate sacred gifts and magical powers also have strengths and weaknesses, but your third eye, junior brother, is definitely among the best among all the gifts and magical powers.

Generally speaking, having top-notch talents and magical powers is equivalent to having top-notch qualifications. The fact that my junior brother cultivated to the level of Taiyi Jinxian in 500 years is the best proof of this.”

Yang Jian felt very comfortable after hearing Yuan Hong's words, and he liked this senior brother even more.

"Boom~" When Yang Jian was about to discuss something with Yuan Hongduo, suddenly outside the Yingzhou Fairy Island, the ancient world shook. The huge roar even caused the magic formation of the Yingzhou Fairy Island to tremble.

Bai Jing, who was in retreat, was also startled and opened his eyes. He counted with his fingers, then sighed and said, "It seems that Haotian has failed!"

At this time in the holy land of Yao Chi, Haotian's aura was disordered and his face was pale. Where was the majesty of the Emperor of Heaven?

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Yao Chi was the first to rush over and ask.

“Ahem~ I… I’m fine! It’s just that I failed to forcibly fuse the three corpses with the power of the prehistoric world and the massive merits that I have accumulated, causing the three corpses to shatter.” After saying that, Haotian spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire aura dropped from the peak of Quasi-Saint to the early stage of Quasi-Saint.

"Your Majesty, why are you doing this? You and I have experimented countless times before, and these three corpses simply cannot be merged. Why do you have to force them to merge?"

“I just can’t accept that, as the Emperor of Heaven, I am being trampled under the feet of the saints. It’s really depressing to be the Emperor of Heaven. And I’m also trying to take another path.” After saying that, the aura around Haotian suddenly changed, and a road emerged.

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment when she saw this, and then she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your Majesty, are you going to create your own avenue?"

"Yes, this is the Great Dao of Domination that I created myself, and it is also my last-ditch effort. If this path can be accomplished, I will be able to break free from the constraints of the saints and truly dominate the prehistoric world."
