Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

Chapter 288 Red Clouds Appear, Dao Lord Takes Action Personally!

Princess Longji and Hong Jin have served under the Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei Emperor for nearly hundreds of millions of years. If the Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei Emperor still doesn't understand their aura after such a long period of time, wouldn't he be an incompetent and foolish ruler?

The Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, Ziwei, was well aware of the feud between Hong Jin and the Jie Sect. Back then, he personally intervened to suppress the oppression of Hong Jin by the immortals and gods of the Jie Sect.

Only by giving the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West enough face could Hong Jin be allowed to stay under his command.

Princess Longji and Hong Jin dared not disobey the decree of the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven. Over the years, they had served under him diligently.

Unlike the original Chaos Dao Lord, the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, Ziwei, naturally had his own stance on these two people and did not particularly dislike them.

He would never personally try to trip someone up; an emperor naturally possesses the magnanimity befitting an emperor.

As for something as trivial as eliminating traitors?

Even if the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven saw it, he wouldn't care. As the supreme ruler of the Three Realms, how could he personally take action to kill a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal?

Yes, Hong Jin is now only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

Without the blessing of their divine positions, these celestial deities were reduced to their original forms. It was precisely because of this that insignificant figures like the Heavenly Joy Star and the Broom Star were expelled from the ranks of the Heavenly Court.

There were also many members of the Ji family of the Western Zhou Dynasty. These were all ordinary military generals, but they had a good relationship with the Chan Sect and some talent, so they were recruited into the Chan Sect and became new cannon fodder.

"What are they trying to do, disguised like that?"

The Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, Ziwei, became curious and couldn't help but follow behind the two, wanting to see what their purpose was.

……

Within the chaos, there was "Yu Yu Tian".

Following a notification from the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, a group of quasi-sages and great golden immortals, led by Mencius himself, arrived at the sage's dojo.

Seeing once again the grand spectacle of ten thousand immortals paying homage, the Tongtian Sect Leader was in high spirits, and the smile on his face never faded.

When the sage is pleased, the people below will naturally be blessed.

Having not spoken of the Great Dao for a long time, the Tongtian Sect Leader was in high spirits this time and actually explained the Path of Quasi-Saints, which took a full hundred years.

After the sermon was finished, the Tongtian Sect Leader dismissed the Great Luo Golden Immortals, leaving only the Quasi-Saints of the Jie Sect behind.

"You all know a little about the impending opening of the Demon Realm. This time, even the Sages will intervene, and our Jie Sect will do everything in our power to secure the Demon Realm's interests!"

He paused, then looked at the Chaos Dao Lord sitting below him and said, "This time, you will spar with the Sages alongside me, which will also help you gain some experience after achieving Dao."

"Yes, teacher!"

Chaos Dao Lord rose, bowed, and responded before sitting down again.

The group of powerful beings present immediately stirred up a commotion. The words of the Tongtian Sect Master clearly indicated that the Chaos Dao Lord had already qualified to stand on equal footing with the Saints, and at least could fight the Saints head-on!

The Chaos Dao Lord has attained enlightenment!

This is fantastic news!

Previously, everyone knew that Chaos Dao Lord had the potential to attain enlightenment, and everyone said that Chaos Dao Lord was about to attain enlightenment. However, this "about" took tens of millions of years to arrive!

Time has passed, and things have changed beyond recognition.

Previously, Chaos Dao Lord resigned from his position as the supreme leader of the sect. Everyone knew that this former leader was preparing to prove his Dao, but after that, there was no further news.

Everyone thought that they would have to go through many more cycles of rebirth.

Now, they have finally gotten the answer they wanted from their patriarch, the Tongtian Sect Leader!

The Chaos Dao Lord has truly attained enlightenment!

From then on, the Jie Sect was led by two enlightened masters, becoming a sect on par with Buddhism among the major sects of the Three Realms!

Chaos Dao Lord looked at everyone and nodded slightly, confirming their guess, which brought another round of cheers from everyone.

After everyone had finished celebrating, Li Yunjing said, "The final victory or defeat in the battle for supremacy in the Demon Realm will still depend on the struggle between the Saints. However, before the Saints make their move, the main battle will be between the Quasi-Saints!"

"You have a lot of responsibility and pressure. From now on, you need to prepare well to get through this ordeal."

Finally, Chaos Daojun looked at his fellow disciples and couldn't help but remind them that these were all senior sisters, junior brothers, and junior sisters who had been with him for many years, as well as outstanding juniors, each of whom was the hope of the Jie Sect.

Chaos Dao Lord truly did not wish for these people to perish in the Demon Realm.

However, how can flowers in a greenhouse see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?

Besides cultivation, fighting is the main theme for cultivators.

The resources in the primordial chaotic universe are limited. If you don't fight for them, they will belong to others. Once others become powerful, you won't even be able to keep the resources you have now!

The quasi-saints of the Jie Sect naturally understood this principle perfectly well.

The powerful figures of the Jie Sect showed no fear in this battle against other sects and the Demon Realm. Over the years, they had won every battle, which greatly boosted the morale of the entire Jie Sect.

Even now, Jinling Shengmu asked with some worry: "Teacher, Junior Brother Chaos, in the war of the Demon Realm, once our Jie Sect gains the upper hand, I'm afraid other sects will join forces to besiege us, and even several saints will target us. What should we do?"

Upon hearing the senior sister's words, the others' faces darkened.

Even today, they still think back to that time, during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, when the four saints disregarded their saintly dignity, bullied the weak, and slaughtered and suppressed them, the juniors.

If it weren't for the intervention of the Chaos Dao Lord, who knows how many people would have made the list.

The immortals of the Jie Sect were naturally not afraid of the quasi-saints of the other four sects, but they were naturally afraid of the saints and dared not compete with them.

Chaos Daoist chuckled, looking at his fellow disciples, and said, "If a sage were to disregard appearances and attack you, my teacher and I would naturally not stand idly by!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader, seated high on the Dao Platform, nodded and said, "During the Investiture of the Gods, I refrained from making the first move out of consideration for the dignity of the Sages, which resulted in a great defeat for my Jie Sect. If they continue in the same manner this time, then the Sages will have to fight each other first."

Hearing the statements of the two enlightened beings, everyone felt a great weight lifted from their hearts.

"During this time, the Great Luo Golden Immortal disciples of the sect will be listening to lectures at the Biyou Palace. The affairs of the Three Realms will be maintained by you people. Now you may go."

Finally, the Master of Heaven arranged what followed.

In this great battle, the Quasi-Saints were the main force, but because of their great strength, they were definitely not the ones who perished the most. On the contrary, the mainstays, the Great Luo Golden Immortals, were in greater danger.

To protect these outstanding disciples, the Tongtian Sect Leader, having nothing better to do, decided to give them some extra training at the Biyou Palace to improve their strength so they could successfully overcome the great calamity.

These quasi-saints also understood this principle. One by one, they stood up, bowed to the Tongtian Sect Master and the Chaos Dao Lord, and then turned and left the Biyou Palace to return to the Three Realms.

Those Great Immortals need special treatment, so naturally, the affairs of the Three Realms require the attention of these Quasi-Saints.

Chaos Dao Lord also bowed to Tongtian Jiaozhu, gathered the people of his faction from "Wuyi Mountain" and "Three Immortal Islands", and led them back to "Boundless Chaos Heaven".

That was his training ground. Apart from the Tongtian Sect Leader, no one, including Fairy Yunxiao, knew its location. This time, he could take his own people in to stay for a while and leave behind a time-space coordinate.

Just as everyone settled down in the "Boundless Chaos Heaven", suddenly, True Person Xinghe rushed over.

"What brings you here, fellow Daoist?"

Chaos Daoist looked at Star River True Man with a surprised expression.

"Hehe! Stop talking, you decide for yourself!"

Master Xinghe breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and pointed a finger, sending a beam of light straight towards Chaos Daojun's brow!

"Hmm? Red clouds have appeared?"

Standing quietly, a beam of light flew into Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. At this moment, Chaos Dao Lord no longer had the calm demeanor he had before.

"Indeed! This matter is of utmost importance! Neither the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven nor I are willing to act rashly. It would be more appropriate for you to take action personally, Fellow Daoist."

Master Xinghe said with a smile.

This is truly earth-shattering news!

"I never imagined that Hongyun's whereabouts would be exposed because of that traitor Hong Jin!"

Chaos Dao Lord clicked his tongue in amazement. He had been closely monitoring "Peach Mountain" for a long time, but unfortunately there had been no movement from Hongyun. He never expected that the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven would actually discover this big fish when he went down to the mortal realm.

"Very well! Now that Hongyun has shown himself, I will give him one last chance to strike!"

Chaos Dao Lord nodded, and with a flicker of his figure, he left the "Boundless Chaos Heaven" and led Star River True Man towards the Three Realms.

This time, after he made his move, it will be very difficult for him to influence the situation in the Three Realms.

……

While Chaos Daoist was heading to the Three Realms, Princess Longji and Hong Jin had already arrived at Wuxia Mountain in Qi Kingdom, Nanzhanbu Continent.

On the summit of this not-so-famous mountain, there stands an ordinary Taoist temple.

"Does this place seem to be inhabited by a person with great supernatural powers?"

To show their respect for the great supernatural being, Princess Longji and Hong Jin naturally walked up the mountain. However, along the way, there were no rare treasures or exotic flowers and plants on the mountain.

Everything was just like an ordinary little hill.

When the two of them reached the top of the mountain, they saw a small Taoist temple, only a few dozen feet high, standing atop the mountain.

This Taoist temple wasn't built with any rare or precious materials; it was constructed from ordinary bricks, stones, and rubble.

If the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West hadn't said that this was the sacred site of a great figure, the two of them would never have believed it.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Taoist temple, the two exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Senior, this junior, Longji (Hong Jin), has come here on the orders of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West to seek refuge with you."

Inside the Taoist temple, the Old Ancestor Hongyun sighed. With his Taoist cultivation, he naturally knew long ago that these two had come up the mountain.

"Haotian, Yaochi, you're just causing me trouble!"

He shook his head helplessly, but he also knew that if there were no other choice, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West would not have sent these two people to him.

This is one of the Taoist temples of the Hongyun Patriarch.

Back then, he was caught off guard and killed by the demon master Kunpeng because he didn't pay attention to concealing his tracks. Now that he has returned in this life, he has learned from his mistakes and is extremely careful in his actions.

He had some concerns about the "Canglan Secret Realm" of "Peach Mountain," as he hadn't been back for many years.

This became his new place of residence.

Since trouble had come knocking, the Old Ancestor Hongyun had to give the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West some face, so he calmly instructed, "Come in!"

"Yes, senior!"

Princess Longji and Hong Jin exchanged a glance, bowed again, and then pushed open the door, which had not been opened for a long time, with a creak from the outside.

Apart from the Old Ancestor Hongyun, there was no other living being in the entire Taoist temple. Clearly, the Old Ancestor was extremely cautious, fearing that the large number of people would create an opening.

Soon, the two passed through three courtyards and arrived at the hall where the Old Ancestor Hongyun was meditating.

"You came on the orders of Haotian and Yaochi? Do you have any proof?"

After sizing up the two, Ancestor Hongyun asked indifferently.

"Reporting back to you, senior! This is a letter from my father and mother..."

Although she didn't know who the Taoist was, the ethereal aura still startled Princess Longji. She dared not be negligent and quickly took out the letter that the Queen Mother of the West had given her.

"Um!"

Hongyun Patriarch nodded. There was no need to open the letter; the aura of Haotian and Yaochi on it was unmistakable. It seemed that these two were indeed sent by the Heavenly Emperor and Empress, so there was no problem.

With a flick of his finger, the letter flew from Princess Longji's hand and drifted towards him.

Gently opening the letter, a record of their communication method appeared, and mysterious runes flew up from the paper and entered the consciousness of the Red Cloud Ancestor.

At this point, Ancestor Hongyun also learned about the origins of the two and their intention to seek refuge there.

"In that case, please settle in. There are plenty of houses here; please choose whichever you like!"

Completely relieved, Ancestor Hongyun gave a casual instruction. As for the two of them, they both had cultivation methods, so there was no need for him to guide them.

"Yes, senior!"

The two bowed again before turning and leaving.

But at that moment, the void suddenly darkened, and a deafening roar of thunder resounded...

"Is it raining?"

"It was a clear blue sky just a moment ago!"

When Princess Longji and Hong Jin raised their heads and looked down into the void, their faces instantly turned pale as a large hand suddenly grabbed them from somewhere.

This hand was enormous, covering the sky and the earth; the entire void was contained within its palm.

The palm slowly descended, creating friction with the void and unleashing a series of thunderous sounds...

"This is?"

The two men's bodies went limp, and they knelt down. This palm strike, which resembled the might of heaven, left the Taiyi Golden Immortals with no power to resist. They could only kneel and beg for a way out.

"boom!"

Inside the temple, the Red Cloud Ancestor was greatly alarmed, and a terrifying aura burst forth from his body, instantly turning the temple into ashes.
