Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 80: The Half-Step Chaos Treasure - The Destruction Divine Bell - A Battle is Imminent; Hongjun Preaches to Guide All Beings

The Three Pure Ones rushed to pay their respects to Hongjun, while at this moment, Di Qing, atop Buzhou Peak, witnessed Hongjun's breakthrough and his expression shifted: "Hongjun has also broken through. It seems Hongjun has chosen the Heavenly Dao."

Over the years, although he hadn't heard any news of Hongjun, Di Qing had always maintained a degree of wariness towards him. Now that he knew Hongjun had attained enlightenment, Di Qing's first thought was of the Heavenly Dao. Only with the assistance of the Heavenly Dao could Hongjun break through to the next level without vast amounts of merit.

Di Qing gazed at the completed Destruction Divine Bell in his hand and silently said, "The Half-Step Chaos Spiritual Treasure - Destruction Divine Bell, just as I suspected. Luo Lian's true spirit is already a Chaos Divine Material; using it for weapon forging, it directly becomes a half-step Chaos Spiritual Treasure. Such a treasure will be refined later when I cultivate the Great Dao of Destruction. For now, I must restrain myself and cultivate in peace. Perhaps, I will soon have a battle with Hongjun."

As Di Qing spoke, he put away the Destruction Divine Bell, then closed his eyes to rest and reflect on his years of cultivation. The reason he did this was because Di Qing guessed that he would have a battle with Hongjun soon.

After all, they were both breaking through to the Primordial Chaos Realm, and they had grudges against each other. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao was considered an enemy by Di Qing, so the probability of a battle breaking out between him and Hongjun was very high.

Moreover, recalling his memories from the future, Di Qing knew that the decline of the Wu Clan was not only due to the Demon Clan, but also largely because of Hongjun. Therefore, Di Qing also needed to fight Hongjun to intimidate him and prevent him from making any underhanded moves.

Upon realizing this, Di Qing connected his mind with the flow of Qi, instructing his subordinates to prepare. If war were to break out, they too would need to be prepared.

Just as Di Qing had thought, Hongjun, having just suppressed his aura after breaking through to the Great Dao Primordial Chaos, couldn't help but feel a fighting spirit rising in his expression as he looked towards Buzhou.

The Heavenly Dao then said, "What, are you preparing to fight Di Qing?"

"It's not that I want war, but this war is inevitable. Back then, Di Qing plundered many treasures from the Dao Alliance, and although the grudges have been settled, the Dao Alliance should also have a share of the spoils from the destruction of the Luo Alliance and the Demon Clan. Unfortunately, Di Qing acted extremely quickly and stole all of these spoils."

"Before, my cultivation was insufficient, so I couldn't say much about the distribution of these spoils. Now that I have attained enlightenment, it's time to find Di Qing and discuss the allocation of these spoils. Besides, even if I don't want to fight Di Qing, you'll force me to fight him in the future, won't you?"

After Hongjun attained enlightenment, he gained a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Dao and learned about some of its ideas.

The Heavenly Dao did not refute, but generously admitted: "That's right, what I need you to do will inevitably involve the Witch Clan. So if you don't fight now, you will have to fight in the future."

"I want to know, what do you want me to do?" Hongjun asked in return.

"What I need you to do is very simple: reduce the chaos in the primordial world, maintain its balance, and allow it to continue to develop. Whether the primordial world is chaotic or not is entirely up to the Wu Clan. This is not a good thing for the entire primordial world."

"Although the Witch Clan currently seeks balance and has no intention of causing chaos, if one day they were to try to dominate the prehistoric world, or do anything else, it would inevitably lead to chaos in the prehistoric world. That is not what I want."

Hongjun understood what the Heavenly Dao was saying: "Simply put, although the Witch Clan does not wreak havoc on the Primordial World, they have the strength and the right to do so. It is because of this that you want to target the Witch Clan."

"What you say is correct. This is my reason for targeting the Witch Clan." Heavenly Dao did not shy away from the truth.

"If one day I also..." Hongjun asked rhetorically.

"You can't, and you can't. The moment you chose me, you lost the right to wreak havoc on the primordial world. Not to mention whether you can do it, even if you could, I could still annihilate you." The Heavenly Dao was blunt, stating that it could deal with Hongjun.

Hongjun fell silent for a long time before finally saying, "I know what to do."

After saying this, Hongjun pondered how to fulfill the Heavenly Dao's request, how to maintain the continuation of the primordial world, and how to make the primordial world better.

No matter how much Hongjun pondered, he realized the conflict with the Witch Clan. Given the Witch Clan's current power, whatever Hongjun wanted to do would inevitably lead to conflict with them.

After much deliberation, Hongjun still made his decision.

Hongjun flicked his sleeve, his mind following the Heavenly Dao, and transmitted his voice throughout the primordial world: "I am Hongjun of the Dao Alliance, and I have now achieved the Great Dao Hunyuan. Feeling that all things in heaven and earth are difficult to cultivate and do not understand the path of Hunyuan, I cannot bear it, therefore I wish to spread the Dao throughout the primordial world."

"After the First Yuan Assembly, I, Hongjun, will preach in the Kunlun region, at the location of Jade Capital Mountain. I will expound the Way of Hunyuan and explain how to achieve the Way of Hunyuan. Anyone who wishes to glimpse the Great Way of Hunyuan may come and listen to my teachings."

This sound, following the way of Heaven, entered the ears of all living beings. In an instant, the heroes were in an uproar, and countless eyes turned to the Kunlun land.

While countless cultivators were awestruck by Hongjun's attainment of the Great Dao Hunyuan and were pondering how to achieve the Dao, Hongjun was so selfless as to be willing to preach and expound the secrets of achieving the Dao.

Such mysteries are invaluable treasures to countless cultivators. In an instant, countless cultivators yearned to travel to Hongjun's abode to hear his teachings.

Even the five clans of the Kunlun Immortal Clan under Di Qing's command were tempted. Although their own clan leader, Di Qing, had already attained enlightenment, he had no intention of expounding on the Dao. Therefore, while they yearned for the secrets of enlightenment, they dared not say much.

But now that Hongjun is willing to preach and reveal the secrets of enlightenment, they are naturally tempted.

This was exactly what Hongjun was thinking. Hongjun wanted to use the secrets of attaining the Dao to win over Di Qing's subordinates and weaken Di Qing's power. At the same time, it was also a small provocation to see what Di Qing would do.

If Di Qing doesn't take it seriously, then Hongjun can continue to test and provoke him. If Di Qing reacts swiftly, Hongjun will also have to make changes, and may even directly fight Di Qing.

As Hongjun pondered, the news that he was preparing to preach caused a stir among all living beings in the prehistoric world.

Di Qing could naturally see through Hongjun's little scheme, but he remained unmoved.

Dijiang, the Ancestral Witch, was now somewhat anxious. He transmitted his voice through his Qi: "Diqing, many cultivators under our command are now captivated by Hongjun's sermon. Given this change, what should we…?"

"It's normal to be attracted. However, I'm curious to know, which cultivators are interested?" Di Qing wasn't surprised at all that some cultivators were interested. Instead, he was curious about which cultivators were interested.

Dijiang immediately gave his answer: "Within and outside our Wu clan, not a single one is interested. As for the five clans, their minds are currently focused on restoring the Primordial World, and they have little interest in Hongjun's path to enlightenment and his insights. Even if they were interested, they know that their five clans now belong to the Primordial World. Without completing the restoration of the Primordial World and without unsealing the Ancestral Dragon and the others, they will never be able to achieve enlightenment. Therefore, although there are some interested individuals within the five clans, their interest is not great. At most, some members of the Scaled Armor and Flying Bird clans would like to go and listen!"

"But the cultivators of the Kunlun Immortal Clan are different. Countless cultivators are eager to hear Hongjun's insights on attaining enlightenment."

"The Kunlun Immortal Clan?" Di Qing wasn't surprised by this result: "The Kunlun Immortal Clan is ultimately a race established based on a cultivation system. Without blood ties or racial connections, their cohesion is ultimately insufficient. Just one secret to achieving the Dao has attracted them. Of course, I can't stop their desire to seek the Dao, so let them go and listen to Hongjun's sermon if they want."

"But what if the Kunlun Immortal Clan switches allegiance to Hongjun because of his sermon?" Dijiang asked again.

"That's fine too. What can't be kept will eventually be kept. But those who enjoy the many benefits brought by our Witch Clan and then choose to betray us, I certainly cannot forgive them." Di Qing was not the kind of cultivator who would restrict the cultivators under his command who sought the Dao.

Instead, the Kunlun Immortal Clan cultivates the immortal cultivation system created by Emperor Qing, practicing the immortal cultivation methods he created. They also enjoy the abundant resources provided by the Wu Clan and the blessed land and training grounds of Buzhou.

Having enjoyed so many benefits, Di Qing naturally wouldn't want to see someone choose to betray them.

After a moment's thought, Dijiang said, "Actually, if we spread the Three Methods of Seeking the Dao, perhaps then..."

"There's no need to release the Three Methods of Seeking the Dao; let these Kunlun Immortal Clan members choose for themselves. This is also a test." It was a coincidence that Di Qing became the patriarch of the Kunlun Immortal Clan back then.

Secondly, the Kunlun Immortal Clan was born extremely hastily. Although it has gradually stabilized after many years of development, the clan, built around its cultivation system, lacks cohesion.

Therefore, Di Qing also wanted to take this opportunity to thoroughly examine the Kunlun Immortal Clan. Of course, he also wanted to see what gave Hongjun the confidence to try and poach his members.

As time went on, more and more cultivators were drawn to Hongjun's sermons.

Many members of the Kunlun Immortal Clan under Emperor Qing's command also left Buzhou Land to go to Kunlun Land to listen to the Dao.

Kunlun is the land where Yujing Mountain is located.

Countless grand discussions on Dao were once held here, and now endless cultivators gather here again, as if the grand discussions of Dao from those years have been recreated.

Countless cultivators gathered together, many of whom were familiar to Di Qing. For example, the Three Pure Ones, and Hong Yun.

Now, they gather together, talking freely and discussing the state of the nation.

However, upon Hongjun's appearance, the numerous cultivators greeted him with respect: "We pay our respects to Ancestor Hongjun."

Although Hongjun achieved the Hunyuan Realm, the title most familiar to many cultivators is still the title of Ancestor from back then.
