Hongjun's Words: The Price the Demon Race Paid!

Chapter 60 Hongjun's Words: The Price the Demon Race Paid!

Hongjun Daozu, Taiqing Shengren, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Nuwa Shengren, Jieyin Shengren, Zhunti Shengren, Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, and many other great supernatural beings.

At this moment, many top-tier individuals have gathered on the shores of the East China Sea.

Even the transcendent being Hongjun Daozu appeared in this world.

At this moment, everyone held their breath and looked at Hongjun Daozu and his Dao body above the River of Time.

Everyone fell silent, and no one dared to speak.

Even the Six Sages of Heaven remained silent, simply watching quietly.

Hongjun Daozu and his future self exchanged a smile, and both of them laughed.

"Fellow Daoist, your cultivation is truly remarkable; your future achievements will indeed be extraordinary."

"Your cultivation method has never appeared in the primordial world before. What kind of cultivation method is it?"

Hongjun Daozu looked at his future self and asked in a calm voice.

The future version of himself did not speak, but looked at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing understood and immediately took a step towards his future self, arriving on the river of time and standing beside him.

A barrier formed by immortal spiritual light appeared around Chen Qing, blocking the power of time from the river of years and leaving him completely unaffected by it.

Chen Qing looked at Hongjun Daozu, and then slowly spoke.

"Dao Ancestor, this is a cultivation method that I created specifically. It is not yet perfect, and I have only perfected it to the level of True Immortal."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Daozu nodded in agreement.

"If a True Immortal possesses such supernatural powers, he is truly incredibly powerful. I wonder what kind of beings he would be at the Quasi-Saint or Saint level."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing smiled calmly.

"Dao Ancestor, I have named this method the Mythical Great Luo Golden Immortal Method. It can only be cultivated up to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level. There is no Quasi-Saint or Saint level."

"Reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm marks the end of cultivation; as for the Quasi-Saint and Saint realms that follow, there are no more."

"If one can truly cultivate to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, then one is equal to the Dao, eternal, immortal, and indestructible. One thought can create chaos, eternal and indestructible, and even a single thought can return from the source of the Great Dao."

"As long as the Dao exists, it can never be erased. Its existence is indescribable and ineffable. Even if one sees it, one can only see a mass of the Dao's original order."

"Its existence transcends all time, space, and time; it surpasses all tangible and intangible things, above the immeasurable and countless 'nothingness,' transcending the origin of everything. In short, it is the Tao itself. The Tao exists, infinitely and indestructibly!"

"This method was created when I listened to my teacher preach. At that time, my teacher, my eldest uncle, and my second uncle were still in Kunlun Mountain. I had just started learning the Dao. After listening to my eldest uncle, second uncle, and teacher preach, I was inspired and created this method."

"Currently, I have only perfected the Earth Immortal, Heaven Immortal, and True Immortal realms of this method. As for the subsequent Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Taiyi Golden Immortal realms, they have not yet been perfected."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Daozu's eyes revealed a deep interest.

"Fellow Daoist, could you please explain in detail the Earth Immortal realm, the Celestial Immortal realm, and the True Immortal realm?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at Hongjun Daozu and nodded.

"Alright, since the Dao Ancestor wants to hear it, then I will tell you."

"Earth Immortal: One opens up a star river, condenses one's own Dao Fruit, obtains longevity and immortality, is independent of time and space, sublimates through the ages, is unique throughout the ages, and is the only one to bear witness to the passage of time, without any other. One can move the power of heaven and earth, step into the dimension of time and space, and preserve one's own body and Dao."

"Celestial Immortal: Having comprehended the true meaning of the Great Dao Laws, the Purple Mansion transforms into a vast universe of stars and rivers, the Great Acupoint condenses into the worlds of all heavens, traversing the starry sky and universe in one step, crossing the Lesser Thousand Worlds, and absorbing the universe and stars into one's own body. One attains the Dao, the physical body is immortal, the primordial spirit is indestructible, and one can casually pluck stars from the primordial world and overturn the universe."

"True Immortal: One enters the Dao through the laws, and the physical body enters the space-time era, roaming the long river of time. The true spirit is immortal, and a trace of the true spirit can be reborn, achieving the supreme Dharma form. One condenses the past, present, and future bodies, shapes the microcosms, creates infinite dust, and the Huazang Era."

"These are the three realms I have perfected. They are about comparing oneself with the universe and spacetime, transforming oneself into chaos, and opening up the chaos into the universe and stars. The ultimate goal of cultivation is to attain the Great Dao."

"In the end, one becomes one with the Tao, eternal, immortal, and indestructible."

After listening to Chen Qing's story, Hongjun Daozu began to ponder deeply.

Chen Qing glanced at Hongjun Daozu, who was deep in thought, then turned to look at the Dao Body, the Supreme Dharma Image, the Past Body, and the Future Body.

Upon seeing Chen Qing's gaze, the Dao Body, Supreme Dharma Form, Past Body, and Future Body immediately headed towards the spacetime dimension and returned to it.

Chen Qing glanced at the Dao Ancestor, then at the Six Saints, Emperor Jun, and Donghuang Taiyi, and then stepped out of the River of Time without further hesitation.

The future version of himself glanced at everyone, then walked directly upstream along the river of time.

As the future self disappears, the river of time also vanishes from this world, returning to endless space and time.

As the future body disappeared, all the strange phenomena vanished, the immense aura also disappeared, and the boundless power dissipated.

As if sensing something, Dao Ancestor Hongjun also withdrew his own aura and boundless power.

This world has returned to its original state. All the strange phenomena have disappeared, and everything is gone. All that remains is the shattered earth, withered trees, and flowers and plants turned to ashes.

Chen Qing glanced at the surrounding world and shook his head helplessly.

This world has been destroyed like this because of him. If he hadn't chosen to fight here, how could this world have been destroyed?

Chen Qing circulated the power of the cosmic galaxy within his body, and endless star power spread out, spreading towards this world.

In an instant, the power of the stars enveloped this world.

With a single thought, Chen Qing restored everything in this world.

At this moment, Hongjun Daozu also looked at Chen Qing. He glanced at this world and saw that it had been restored, and simply smiled.

"The cultivation method created by you, fellow Daoist, is indeed excellent. Those methods involve creating a galaxy with a single hand, allowing the galaxy to circulate between your fingers, and then creating spacetime molecules to evolve into a thousand worlds."

After Hongjun Daozu finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then spoke again.

"Fellow Daoist has now condensed his past, present, and future bodies, which allows him to modify the past and future years, strengthen his own law domain, cover the endless worlds, and in the future, he can freely travel through the barriers of time and space and travel among the heavens."

"After all, there are countless worlds in the chaos, and the Primordial World is just one of the many worlds. Although it is a top-tier world, it is still one step away from becoming an immeasurable world."

"If you, fellow Daoist, can cultivate to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the future, you can unite with me and elevate the Primordial World to the Boundless Great World."

"At that time, the primordial world will become an immeasurable great world, and we will also coexist with the Dao."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun and nodded solemnly without hesitation.

He never expected that the cultivation method for the Xuanxian realm, which he had been pondering for so long, would be revealed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

With a galaxy between his fingers, he can create branches of spacetime, evolve thousands of worlds, modify the past and future, and his laws cover the endless universe. He can freely traverse the barriers of spacetime and travel among the heavens.

Isn't this exactly the cultivation method he used after reaching the True Immortal realm?

At that moment, Chen Qing smiled, a truly joyful smile from the bottom of his heart.

Unexpectedly, the method of cultivation for the Xuanxian realm was created by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Indeed, what the Dao Ancestor said is correct. This is how True Immortals cultivate. I have not perfected this method, so I have not cultivated it. I never thought that the Dao Ancestor would deduce it."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Daozu smiled but remained silent.

"Fellow Daoist, at this moment, I hope that you can attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible, and then join hands with me to elevate the world into an immeasurable great world."

"Once the world advances, I will be able to break free from the Heavenly Dao and return to my carefree state, while you, my fellow Daoist, will also coexist with the Dao, roaming freely in the endless chaos, and controlling the universe and countless living beings."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's face turned very solemn.

"Dao Ancestor, if I can truly cultivate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, I will surely advance the world to the Boundless Great World together with you."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Daozu nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at everyone and shook his head.

"Ugh!"

"The disciples I have taken in are all top-notch in terms of background and talent, but unfortunately, none of them have found their own path."

As Hongjun Daozu spoke, he sighed helplessly and then looked at Chen Qing.

"Fellow Daoist, let's get back to the point. Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi cannot die right now. I beg you to spare them this time for my sake."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's face showed a hint of unease. He looked at Hongjun Daozu with some confusion.

"Dao Ancestor, why is this? With your strength, why would you need to intervene for the sake of these two?"

Upon hearing Chen Qing's words, Hongjun Daozu immediately transmitted his voice to him.

"Fellow Daoist may not know, but the Primordial World is a Great Thousand World. Although it is a top-tier Great Thousand World, it is still not an Immeasurable Great World."

"In this vast world, every few epochs a great calamity will occur, and this is caused by the living beings within this vast world."

"When living beings cultivate, they absorb the power of heaven and earth, but they never give back to heaven and earth. Moreover, the struggles between living beings will produce many negative energies such as killing intent, evil intent, resentment, and bloodlust."

"Although the Netherworld Blood Sea is digesting this energy, how could it possibly contain it all? Over time, it will slowly accumulate, and that is the origin of the great calamity."

"The great calamity of heaven and earth is to expel all these negative energies and to allow the primordial world to develop."

"If there were no great calamity of heaven and earth, then if it continues to accumulate, there will be immeasurable calamities."

"The immeasurable calamity is the most terrifying calamity. I'm afraid that by then, the primordial world will no longer exist."

"At that time, not to mention ordinary living beings, even saints will find it difficult to survive."

"This great calamity is the Lich Calamity, a calamity dominated by the demon race and the witch race. If Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were to die at this time, this calamity would cease to exist. Even I would not know which race to choose to fight against the witch race."

"Therefore, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi cannot die at this time. They must wait until after the great calamity. At that time, you can do whatever you want, fellow Daoist."

After saying this, Hongjun Daozu looked at Chen Qing and transmitted his voice again.

"Now that you have condensed your future self, you should be able to see the future. You should know the final fate of the Lich and Demon races."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded in agreement.

When he condensed his future self, he saw a glimpse of the future.

He only saw the great war between the Lich and Demon races, the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar, and the deaths of most of the high-ranking members of the Lich and Demon races, but he did not pay much attention to it.

Upon hearing what Hongjun Daozu said, he no longer hesitated, but looked at Hongjun Daozu and began to speak.

"Dao Ancestor, you are exaggerating. Since you do not wish for Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi to die, I will spare them this time."

"However, after all, the demon race slaughtered hundreds of millions of humans, so some compensation should be paid. After all, the human race suffered a calamity of extinction, and now only a few million humans remain."

"From hundreds of millions of humans to only a few million, so many humans were slaughtered by the demon race. It would be unreasonable not to offer any compensation."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Daozu's eyes revealed a look of satisfaction. He then glanced at the Six Sages of Heavenly Dao, and then looked at Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.

After pondering for a moment, Hongjun Daozu looked at Chen Qing.

"What you say is true, fellow Daoist. The lives of billions of humans should be compensated. Otherwise, it would seem that I, the Dao Ancestor, am being unfair."

After saying this, Hongjun Daozu glanced at the place where the human race was located, and then withdrew his gaze.

"The demon race has slaughtered hundreds of millions of humans without authorization, causing divine wrath and human resentment. As a special punishment, the demon race has been stripped of 20% of its fortune, which will be returned to the human race as compensation."

As soon as the Dao Ancestor Hongjun finished speaking, all living beings in the primordial world heard his voice.

At this moment, all the humans, regardless of where they were, heard this voice and all knelt down on the ground.

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor Xie Hongjun, for upholding justice for our human race."

After saying this, Hongjun Daozu looked at Chen Qing with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you think of this punishment?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded and smiled.

"The Dao Ancestor has spoken too much. I will accept any punishment imposed by the Dao Ancestor."

Chen Qing spoke very politely, after all, he had not yet cultivated to the level of a mythical Great Luo Golden Immortal, and he had to show the respect due to Hongjun Daozu.

Moreover, he was a disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master, and if we really talk about it, Hongjun Daozu was his grandmaster!

Hongjun Daozu smiled with satisfaction upon hearing Chen Qing's words.

After all, Chen Qing's future achievements are no less than his own. Although he has not yet grown up, he is very pleased with the respect Chen Qing shows him.

"In that case, let's end things here."

After Hongjun Daozu finished speaking, he looked at the Six Sages of Heavenly Dao, Dijun, and Donghuang Taiyi.

"Six Sages, you should all return to your respective dojos. Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, you should also return to the Heavenly Court."

After Hongjun Daozu finished speaking, he looked at Chen Qing and then slowly opened his mouth.

"The calamity of humanity has passed. For the next million years, no race in the primordial world may indiscriminately slaughter humans."

Hongjun Daozu's words directly utilized the power of the Heavenly Dao, ensuring that countless beings in the prehistoric world heard them.

Upon hearing these words, countless beings in the primordial world bowed respectfully towards the sky.

After saying this, Hongjun Daozu looked at Chen Qing.

"Fellow Daoist, it is time for me to return to Zixiao Palace."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing immediately bowed to Hongjun Daozu.

"Dao Ancestor, please wait."

Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded with a smile, then vanished and returned to Zixiao Palace.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to our teacher (respectfully bidding farewell to our grandmaster, respectfully bidding farewell to the Daoist patriarch)!"

At this moment, countless living beings in this world bid farewell to the Dao Ancestor.

After everyone had finished their greetings, Taiqing Laozi glanced at them and spoke slowly.

"Now that things are settled here, I should return to Shouyang Mountain."

After Taiqing Laozi finished speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun also nodded in agreement.

"Since my elder brother is leaving, then I should also return to Kunlun Mountain."

As Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun departed, a host of other sages also began to leave.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Sage Taiqing, the Sage Yuanshi, the Sage Tongtian, the Sage Nuwa, the Sage Jieyin, and the Sage Zhunti."

Chen Qing watched the six saints leave, but only bowed once and said nothing.

At this moment, Chen Qing's strength was undeniable. The fact that he could offer a simple bow was already the greatest respect he could show to everyone. If Chen Qing were to speak, the Six Saints probably wouldn't dare to accept it.

Didn't you hear that Dao Ancestor addressed Chen Qing as "fellow Daoist"? This shows that Chen Qing's strength is already no weaker than that of Dao Ancestor.

Upon seeing the six sages depart, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi also headed directly towards the Heavenly Court.

They didn't want to stay here a moment longer.

As everyone departed, the group of powerful cultivators also left, leaving behind only the spectators.

Chen Qing glanced at the departing crowd, but said nothing, instead standing quietly in the void.
