Chapter 88 The Universe Cauldron (Please Subscribe)

The Daoist who guided the way had only possessed the Twelve Grades of Innate Merit Golden Lotus for a few thousand years, and had not produced more than a few lotus seeds in total.

How could we give it all to Zhen Yuanzi!

It should be noted that the western part of the prehistoric world has always lacked innate spiritual treasures. Even Jieyin and Zhunti did not have many innate spiritual treasures to protect themselves, let alone their disciples.

These lotus seeds were originally intended to be placed in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool to cultivate several innate lotus flowers, which would later be bestowed upon the disciples for protection.

Upon hearing Zhunti's words, the Guide Daoist's expression turned bitter, and he sighed, saying to Zhunti, "Junior brother, there's no need to say more!"

After speaking, the Guide Daoist reached out and took out several golden lotus seeds, handing them to Zhen Yuanzi and saying, "Please accept these, fellow Daoist!"

Zhen Yuanzi remained silent, reached out and took several golden lotus seeds. A flash of black and white innate Yin-Yang divine light emanated from his body, and he vanished instantly.

Upon seeing Zhen Yuanzi leave, Daoist Zhunti felt a pang of heartache, even more intense than his own injuries.

"Senior brother..."

Before Zhunti could speak, the Guide Daoist shook his head and said, "Junior brother, come back to the mountain with me to recuperate from your injuries. You must not concern yourself with Hongyun's affairs anymore."

Upon hearing the words of the Guide, the Zhunti Daoist could only nod helplessly, secretly hoping that Hongyun would die and his true spirit would not be lost, so that his serious injuries would not have been in vain.

The primordial spirit relic was formed from Zhunti's entire cultivation and primordial spirit, and can be considered the foundation of his Dao.

Once severely damaged, even with Zhunti's Taoist cultivation and supernatural powers, it would be no easy task to recover.

"Let's go!" The golden lotus of innate merit beneath the feet of the Guide Daoist flashed with divine light, lifting up the Zhunti Daoist and heading west.

Meanwhile, Hongyun, who was besieged by the three quasi-saints, Dijun, Taiyi, and Kunpeng, had no choice but to summon the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, a magical artifact that had helped him achieve enlightenment. Red sand filled the void as it was used to attack Taiyi, Kunpeng, and Dijun.

However, Taiyi pointed at the innate treasure, the Eastern Emperor Bell, and a bell rang out, freezing the countless red sands in place. Kunpeng also flapped its wings, unleashing an innate divine wind that swept up countless red sands, sending them falling into the distance.

"Hongyun brat, did you ever expect this day to come!" Seeing that Hongyun's injuries were getting worse, Kunpeng was overjoyed and could finally vent his anger.

"If you are willing to hand over the Primordial Purple Qi, I might be able to allow your true spirit to reincarnate!" Emperor Jun said, his heart stirred.

At this time, the Netherworld had not yet been born. Even if Dijun was willing to spare Hongyun's true spirit and let her reincarnate, there was probably no possibility of her returning.

Just as Hongyun dodged Taiyi's True Sun Fire, Kunpeng's attack was already upon him.

Left with no other choice, Hongyun could only use his protective divine light to withstand the attack, but was struck by the Kunpeng's wings.

"Wow……"

Hongyun felt a tremor in his primordial spirit, and his whole body flew out, his mouth gushing blood incessantly, as if turning into a rain of blood.

He had no interest in paying attention to Di Jun's words.

"You ungrateful wretch! Let's see how long you can hold out!" Seeing that Hongyun showed no intention of handing over the Primordial Purple Qi, Dijun was enraged. His solar divine light shot into the sky, transforming into a golden light curtain that enveloped Hongyun.

"True Fire of the Sun!" Upon seeing this, Taiyi also snorted coldly, revealing his primordial spirit form. Above a half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, a three-legged golden crow cried out to the sky, drawing down immeasurable True Fire of the Sun, which fell towards the red cloud.

Faced with the attacks from Di Jun and Tai Yi, Hong Yun could only forcefully circulate his internal magic power to barely resist.

Kunpeng would naturally not let such an opportunity pass. Enraged, the enormous Kunpeng Dharma form transformed into Kunpeng Devouring the Sky, swooping down from the sky, blotting out the sun, and its giant mouth swallowed the red cloud, intending to swallow the red cloud along with the Primordial Purple Qi into its belly in one gulp.

"Kunpeng, how dare you do this!" Upon seeing Kunpeng's actions, Dijun and Taiyi were furious and rushed towards Kunpeng and Hongyun.

If the Primordial Purple Qi were swallowed by the Kunpeng, it would likely flee immediately upon spreading its wings.

Let them both have wasted their time.

As for Kunpeng's earlier statement that he did not covet the Primordial Purple Qi, how could Dijun and Taiyi believe it!

That primordial purple aura is an opportunity for sainthood; how could anyone remain indifferent!

However, Di Jun and Tai Yi were already half a step too late; the enormous Kunpeng Dharma Form had already descended towards the red clouds.

"I, this humble Taoist priest, will fight you to the death!"

Seeing the Kunpeng Dharma Image devouring him, Hongyun knew he was doomed. He roared and, without dodging or avoiding, went to meet the descending Kunpeng Dharma Image head-on.

Seeing the look of despair on Hongyun's face, Dijun felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly summoned back his innate spiritual treasure, the Luoshu Hetu, to protect himself, and shouted, "Brother, be careful!"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi was startled and used the innate treasure, the Eastern Emperor Bell, to shield himself.

Kunpeng ignored this and continued to swallow the red cloud.

The scene before him only elicited a cold laugh from Hongyun, who shouted, "Explode!"

As soon as he finished speaking, under the horrified gazes of Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng, Hong Yun's physical body exploded.

The self-destruction of a quasi-saint with great supernatural powers—what divine might!

It was truly earth-shattering and awe-inspiring!

With a deafening roar, the surrounding space for billions of miles was shattered, leaving the entire world in ruins. Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng were all thrown out.

Of the three, Di Jun was the first to react. He was protected by the innate spiritual treasure Luo Shu He Tu, but he still felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and almost fainted.

Even with the innate treasure, the Eastern Emperor Bell, protecting him, Taiyi still felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and blood gushed from his mouth like it was free.

The closest Kunpeng had already fallen to the ground, its life hanging in the balance. Its enormous wings were scattered to the side, its flesh and blood were churning all over its body, and blood was gushing out like a fountain, making it look extremely miserable.

"Hurry and find the Primordial Purple Qi!" Ignoring his injuries, Di Jun hurriedly called on Taiyi to search for the Primordial Purple Qi.

However, Di Jun and Tai Yi looked around and their faces were very ugly. Apart from the mess, there was almost nothing left.

Hongyun's physical body had long since vanished without a trace, and his Dao-attaining artifact, the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, had also disappeared without a trace. Only a wisp of his remnant soul remained, drifting in the air.

There is no Primordial Purple Qi at all.

"Could it be that the Primordial Purple Qi is within a wisp of Hongyun's remnant soul?" Thinking of this, Di Jun's eyes lit up. He waved his hand and unleashed a beam of solar divine light, intending to disperse the wisp of Hongyun's remnant soul and reveal the Primordial Purple Qi.

"Dijun, Taiyi!"

At this moment, a furious roar suddenly came from the void above, and a chaotic sword aura fell, scattering the divine light of the sun. Then, the chaotic sword aura flashed and swept away a wisp of Hongyun's remnant soul.

The next moment, a beam of innate yin-yang divine light, black and white, descended, and Zhen Yuanzi revealed his true form, his eyes fixed on Di Jun and Tai Yi with a sinister look and a hint of killing intent flashing across them.

"You demons are truly cunning!"

"For a mere wisp of Primordial Purple Qi, not only did Zhunti block this humble Daoist, but three Quasi-Saints with great supernatural powers also ganged up on Hongyun alone. This is truly going too far!" The scene before him made Zhen Yuanzi feel indescribably distressed, and scenes from the past surfaced in his mind.

From their first encounter in the Western Lands, where they tasted ginseng fruit together, to their siege of the Netherworld Demonic Cult, and finally to the ginseng fruit feast at Longevity Mountain.

However, at this moment, all the scenes from the past have turned into nothingness.

Seeing Zhen Yuanzi take away a wisp of Hongyun's remnant soul, Di Jun's face darkened, and he shouted at Zhen Yuanzi, "Hand over Hongyun's remnant soul immediately, or I will kill you here today to settle the karma from Qingqiu Mountain!"

"Brother, why waste words with him? Just set up the Zhou Tian Star Formation and kill him!" Taiyi knew that given the relationship between Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun, it was clear that things couldn't end peacefully.

Moreover, this matter concerns the Primordial Purple Qi, and we absolutely cannot sit idly by and watch Zhen Yuanzi take away Hongyun's remnant soul.

"What arrogance! I'd like to see if the Zhou Tian Star Array can suppress me!" As he spoke, Zhen Yuanzi directly revealed his three primordial spirit flowers. Above a half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, four innate five elements and five directions flags were raised high, radiating billions of rays of light, revealing the mysteries of the innate five elements and five directions, and faintly forming an array.

At the same time, Zhen Yuanzi activated his Chaos Undying Body, took out the Myriad Tribulations Sword, and pointed it at Di Jun and Tai Yi, revealing his killing intent.

The Central Plains Apricot Yellow Banner!

The Azure Lotus Flag of the East!

Southern Flame Flag!

Western plain-colored cloud-patterned boundary flag!

Seeing Zhen Yuanzi unleash four Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Flags in one go, Di Jun and Tai Yi were startled. They suddenly remembered the Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array that Hongjun Daozu had spoken of, which was based on the Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Flags and evolved into the Primordial Five Elements and Five Directions Great Dao.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

It can be said that there are five elements in the heavens and five directions on earth.

The two complement each other, possessing boundless divine power.

Although Zhen Yuanzi is currently missing a Northern Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, the Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array is not yet complete.

However, Di Jun and Tai Yi dared not underestimate them in the slightest.

After all, Zhen Yuanzi is not only proficient in the laws of the innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements, but also in the way of formations. No one knows how powerful this innate Five Elements Five Directions Formation really is!

Just as Dijun and Taiyi were hesitating.

A voice rang out once more from the void above.

"Fellow Daoist is right!"

"This humble Taoist also wishes to witness the power of the Zhou Tian Star Array!"

As the sound rang out, a beam of immortal light descended from the void. The Shangqing Daoist was seen carrying four innate swords on his back, his whole body radiating murderous intent and his killing aura soaring to the sky. His cold gaze was fixed on Di Jun and Taiyi, his killing intent undisguised.

"This humble Taoist priest was just about to test the might of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!"

Master Shangqing!

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!

Upon seeing the Taoist Shangqing and the Four Swords of Zhuxian, Dijun and Taiyi's eyes narrowed, a chill running through their hearts. They thought to themselves, "This is bad. It will be difficult to retrieve the remnant soul of Hongyun now."

Zhen Yuanzi's Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array is incomplete, but Shangqing Daoren's Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array is complete and flawless, and its power is probably even greater than that of the Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array.

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes lit up, and he nodded to Shangqing Daoist.

"Shangqing, are you going to meddle in other people's business too?" Dijun said to Shangqing Daoist in a deep voice.

"Hmph, you seized Buzhou Mountain by force back then, and now you've ruined Fellow Daoist Hongyun's life. How can I sit idly by and do nothing?" Shangqing Daoist said coldly.

However, before Shangqing Daoist could finish speaking, the group looked up at the void and saw a male and female Daoist walking towards them again.

Upon seeing that it was Fuxi and Nuwa, Dijun and Taiyi couldn't help but show a hint of joy. They cupped their hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, fellow Daoists Fuxi and Nuwa!"

"Fellow Daoists, could it be that you have also come for the Primordial Purple Qi?" Zhen Yuanzi asked Nuwa calmly.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists!" Nuwa nodded to Dijun and Taiyi, then bowed to Zhenyuanzi and Shangqing, saying, "Please, fellow Daoists, cease your fighting here to avoid damaging our harmony!"

"When Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng were besieging Fellow Daoist Hong Yun, did they ever think of stopping?" Upon hearing Nuwa's words, Zhen Yuanzi's expression turned cold, showing no intention of stopping. "If I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Hong Yun would already be dead, his soul scattered and his true spirit gone."

"Do you think you can easily give up now, fellow Daoist? Do you think that we cultivators are helpless and can be killed at will?" Zhen Yuanzi said without any politeness.

"Fellow Daoist is right." Shangqing Daoist looked at Nuwa, Dijun, and the others, sneered, and said, "I have already sent the jade talisman back to Kunlun Mountain. We Three Pure Ones can now have a battle with you demons to settle the karma of Buzhou Mountain!"

"Fellow Daoists, please calm down for now. My brother and I, though Great Saints of the Demon Clan, are still members of the cultivator lineage and have no such intention!" Fuxi hurriedly explained. He was truly afraid that if a fight broke out, Zhen Yuanzi and Shangqing would each set up their great formations, and things would become very difficult to handle.

While others may not know the power of Zhen Yuanzi's Innate Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Array, he knows it perfectly well.

Now, with the four innate five elements and five directions flags suppressing the great formation, it can unleash at least 70-80% of its power.

Moreover, the Taoist Shangqing carries the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords on his back, which can form the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, which cannot be broken by anyone other than the Four Sages.

Di Jun and Tai Yi, standing to the side, felt a chill in their hearts. It seemed that Nuwa and Fuxi did not want to make enemies with Zhen Yuanzi and Shangqing Daoren.

"Eh, Fellow Daoist Hongyun still has a wisp of his remnant soul!" Nuwa's eyes lit up, and she smiled at Zhen Yuanzi, saying, "Fellow Daoist, could you please retrieve Fellow Daoist Hongyun's remnant soul so that I may have a look?"

Upon hearing Nuwa's words, Zhen Yuanzi frowned, glanced at Di Jun and Taiyi, and said coldly, "Please speak plainly, fellow Daoist, otherwise I absolutely cannot extract Fellow Daoist Hongyun's remnant soul!"

"Very well!" Nuwa nodded, reached out and took out a palm-sized bronze cauldron with two handles and four legs, exuding wisps of the aura of creation. She smiled and asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you recognize this object?"

Upon seeing the bronze cauldron in Nuwa's hand, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "The Qiankun Cauldron, a Primordial Spiritual Treasure!"

Upon hearing this, Shangqing Daoist, Dijun, and Taiyi were all taken aback, their gazes falling on the Qiankun Cauldron in Nuwa's hand.

On the day of the third sermon at Zixiao Palace, Zhen Yuanzi asked Hongjun Daozu for the Qiankun Cauldron.

Surprisingly, the Qiankun Cauldron was actually in Nuwa's hands.

This innate spiritual treasure, the Qiankun Cauldron, can reverse the innate state, transforming acquired spiritual treasures into innate spiritual treasures.

In addition, the Qiankun Cauldron itself is also a defensive treasure that can be used to protect oneself.

Most importantly, the Qiankun Cauldron contains the Dao of Creation, which can refine and reshape all things in the universe.
