Heavenly Secrets Change, Hongjun Desires to Merge with the Dao

The Supreme Being spoke, interrupting the conversation between the Earth Goddess and the Lamp Burning Lamp.

"Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, we have known each other for so long and can be considered close friends. How come I have never heard you mention that you are also familiar with the fellow Daoists of the Wu Clan?"

Randeng was taken aback. He knew that the relationship between the Ancestral Witches and the Three Pure Ones was not harmonious, and he could also sense the subtle tension in the air.

"Among the Wu tribe, I only know Fellow Daoist Houtu, and it was by chance."

For some reason, ever since Houtu appeared, all eyes in the cave have been on him.

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, Fuxi spoke.

"I wonder what you and your companions have gained in Buzhou Mountain."

Ran Deng then recounted how he and his companions encountered the River Styx.

"Fellow Daoist, you've clashed with the Styx River?"

Fuxi was somewhat surprised. Ten thousand years ago, when the Styx River passed by Phoenix Perch Mountain, it mistakenly took the mountain-protecting array for the innate array protecting the spiritual treasure, and he and Nuwa also clashed with it.

With a cultivation level approaching the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm and equipped with three top-grade innate spiritual treasures, Fuxi and Nuwa only relied on the protective mountain array to intimidate him and did not directly engage in combat with him.

"At the same time, we both had our eyes on a primordial spiritual treasure, so naturally we had to have a friendly competition."

Ran Deng smiled and nodded. Minghe may seem arrogant, but he is actually very steady and would never provoke someone stronger than him.

After the great calamity of the Lich King in later generations, when all the innate deities perished, he roamed freely in the sea of ​​blood. When Nuwa established the human race, he established the Asura race. He did not participate in the war between the Lich King and the Asura King. When Houtu transformed into reincarnation on the shore of the sea of ​​blood, he merely watched coldly.

"It's not just about fighting him; Fellow Daoist Ran Deng basically dominated Styx. It's laughable that Styx thought he had picked the easiest opponent."

Tongtian vividly recounted the scene to the group.

"I never imagined that after tens of thousands of years, Fellow Daoist Ran Deng would not only have his cultivation improved to a higher level, but also have another fortuitous encounter."

Since the last Ginseng Fruit Gathering, Fuxi returned to Phoenix Perch Mountain and secluded himself with Nuwa to cultivate. Ten thousand years ago, he broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

In fact, not only Fuxi and Nuwa, but everyone who attended the Ginseng Fruit Gathering last time seemed to have been stimulated by the lamp, and after returning home they devoted themselves to cultivation.

Among them, Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Fu Xi were the most eager. Di Jun and Tai Yi were defeated by Randeng, so they naturally thought about how to win back in the next battle. Fu Xi, on the other hand, was simply driven by his competitive spirit, since he had a sister who was destined to be a sage.

"Fellow Daoists, your cultivation is all quite advanced. It hasn't been long, and you've all broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. My advancement ahead of you is merely a fluke."

But what Ran Deng thought to himself was this: he had the advantage of foresight and many opportunities, and these top-level innate saints could keep up with him, especially the Supreme One, who was estimated to break through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm soon.

This also puts pressure on Randeng, who, as the first disciple accepted by Master Hongjun, should not be less powerful than other innate deities when preaching in Zixiao Palace, otherwise he would lose face.

That Primordial Purple Qi Lamp is something I absolutely must obtain. Whether it's as a fallback plan if I fail to reach the Great Luo Primordial Realm, or simply to use it to comprehend the laws, it's a top-tier opportunity in the Primordial World.

Furthermore, he is not alone now. He also wants to secure the positions of Jieyin and Zhunti as direct disciples of the Dao Ancestor, instead of them being merely nominal disciples who were ostracized by the entire Xuanmen sect.

After chatting for a while, the group exchanged their insights on breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in their cave dwelling on Phoenix Perch Mountain.

Such an opportunity for several Great Luo Golden Immortals to discuss the Dao together is extremely rare, especially since, apart from Randeng, the others had only recently broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Surprisingly, Fuxi did not choose the Yin Dao as his first Daluo Dao Fruit, but instead cultivated the Wind Dao to the Daluo Golden Immortal level.

As expected, Nuwa cultivated the laws of creation and attained the first Dao Fruit.

Fuxi was very willing to discuss the Dao with his daughter because his laws of creation were something he desperately needed. This was inextricably linked to the initial intention of the Dao of Reincarnation, which he sought to solidify.

Meanwhile, at the Chaos Bell, in the Purple Cloud Palace.

Hongjun sat cross-legged on a futon, his brows slightly furrowed, his hands constantly making calculations.

"It's really strange. According to previous calculations, the innate saints of this era should have reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm by the time I merged with the Dao. This would have been a good opportunity to weed out many innate saints who lacked cultivation and talent."

However, no matter how Hongjun calculated, a group of innate deities had already reached the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortal.

This leads to a problem: when he merges with the Dao and begins preaching at Zixiao Palace, the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals arriving at the Chaos Bell may far exceed the original number.

However, the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace are in accordance with the three thousand Great Daos of the Primordial World, and the number is indeed difficult to change.

Left with no other choice, Hong Jun lightly tapped his finger, summoning a jade butterfly that floated above his head. Its entire body resembled mutton fat dew, and it shimmered with the faint light of primordial blue gold. It was three feet six and a half inches in diameter, and its thickness was as uniform as a cicada's wing. The edges had fine cracks left by the creation of the world, and its entire body was engraved with the three thousand runes of the Great Dao.

Using his primordial spirit to guide the jade disc, he meticulously explored the events that had occurred since the beginning of the primordial era.

Countless variables emerge, yet all of these variables point to one person.

Light the lamp!

"I never imagined it was all because of that brat, Ran Deng."

Hongjun carefully examined the Jade Tablet of Creation and discovered that the nodes in the captured timeline showed that Randeng was born ahead of schedule, repaired the western earth veins, collected most of the opportunities in the west, and was favored by the western heaven and earth. He then helped Zhunti and Jieyin take human form.

After arriving in the East, he defeated the powerful Emperor Jun and Taiyi at the Ginseng Fruit Festival.

In a corner of the primordial future, many things that would have happened tens of thousands of years or even several eons later have occurred much earlier due to the early intervention of Randeng.

"No wonder this kid was favored by both me and Luo Hou; his ability to disrupt the heavens is first-rate."

Hongjun did not regard Randeng as an anomaly because of this. What he was looking at was the most likely one of the many timelines. Randeng was at most a variable.

However, in the next instant, the light in Hongjun's eyes disappeared, and his entire aura changed, becoming indifferent and ruthless.

"Is this the disciple you took in? Disrupting the heavenly order, he should be executed!"

Hongjun spoke, his tone icy.

Then, a look of struggle appeared on Hongjun's face, as if two different thoughts were vying for control of his body.

"Hmph, it's none of your business to interfere with my disciple. Living beings are always in flux, not static. Don't meddle in other people's business. Just wait for me to unite with you."

Hongjun waved his hand and put away the Jade Disc of Creation. His expression changed constantly before finally returning to calm.

"This primordial world ultimately belongs to all living beings, which is what Pangu wanted to see. The Heavenly Dao should not have given birth to its own consciousness."

Hongjun left these words in the empty Zixiao Palace, and then disappeared without a trace.

No one knows what happened between the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao in the depths of chaos.
