The Seed of the Gourd, Encountering Hongjun Again

Chapter 29 The Seed of the Gourd, Encountering Hongjun Again

Within the seven-colored gourd, a tiny gourd is quietly rotating inside.

A vague consciousness was developing within it, about to take shape.

Let's look at the other gourds.

Most of them possess a spiritual consciousness that is being nurtured.

However, it is much, much smaller than this seven-colored gourd.

Its aura was also identical to that of the innate gourd vine.

It is clearly a spirit born from the innate gourd vine!

"With eight parts of my spiritual consciousness, I abandon my physical body, storing my consciousness within the gourd as a seed, awaiting the opportune moment!"

"If Mount Buzhou hadn't collapsed, perhaps another great supernatural being would have been added to the primordial world!"

Yang Gui played with the seven-colored gourd that had transformed into the size of his palm, marveling at it.

As expected of something from chaos, it possesses such power!

Abandoning its innate origins, it desires to become something acquired; once all the gourds have taken shape and emerged, the eight spirits unite as one, defying its innate nature, and it is hoped that it can return to its primordial spiritual root!

It seems that the Chaos Gourd had planned everything before it landed in the primordial world.

No great master of this kind has been heard of in later generations, so it seems that it was a failure.

However, due to a series of coincidences, it was divided up by a group of deities.

I wonder if Pangu saw through everything and deliberately left such a deep scar.

"What a pity!"

Yang Gui shook his head and sighed.

Under the Heavenly Dao, whether they are chaotic demon gods or chaotic spiritual roots, they are all subject to the law.

They could not escape the calamity of death and annihilation.

"Very well, since we're in the same boat, I'll help you nurture the remaining seven spiritual consciousnesses!"

Upon realizing this, Yang Gui's body radiated a light of creation, and he reached out towards the remaining seven gourds on the gourd vine.

Immediately afterwards, seven tiny streams of light of different colors appeared and were guided into the seven-colored gourd in his hand.

The gourd seed inside the seven-colored gourd sensed something, its light shone brightly, and all seven spiritual senses were absorbed by it.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a seven-colored gourd seed.

Seeing this, Yang Gui smiled and said, "My world is still missing a spiritual creature, which is just right."

With a flick of his hand, the seven-colored gourd disappeared.

In the world of the tortoise shell, the mouth of the seven-colored gourd opened and spat out a ten-zhang-sized colorful gourd seed, which landed next to the Three Lights Divine Water and took root in the innate soil.

One stream of chaotic energy after another was channeled from the five-needle pine.

"I wonder what kind of gourd I'll get if it's conceived again."

Yang Gui was filled with anticipation.

He temporarily placed the seven-colored gourd in the tortoise shell world, waiting for the right time to refine it into a magic weapon.

Looking at the remaining gourds on Buzhou Mountain, the spiritual consciousness within them had been removed, but it had not caused any damage to the innate gourds.

Instead, it accelerated the growth of several gourds.

Come to think of it.

The removal of the eight spiritual consciousnesses that emanated from the source of energy effectively reduced the loss of the gourd vine's essence.

This will undoubtedly allow the gourds to grow faster.

"We still have some time, we'll come back to get the gourd vines next time."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Gui cast a hidden mark on the gourd vine and prepared to turn around and leave the Innate Grand Formation.

Of the seven gourds, apart from the seven-colored gourd, the others were of little use to him.

Only the gourd vine has some value.

However, he had only traveled tens of millions of miles away from where the gourd vine was when he encountered an acquaintance he didn't want to see.

"Fellow Daoist, it's been a long time."

Hongjun looked at Yang Gui with a smile, also feeling somewhat surprised.

I never expected to run into an old acquaintance here.

When Yang Gui saw Hongjun, his face showed disdain. "Why is there this old Taoist priest like you everywhere!"

Although he looked disgusted, he was actually quite surprised.

This old Taoist priest seems even stronger than the last time I saw him.

There's a feeling that it transcends the laws of nature and is outside of cause and effect.

He had experienced this feeling before, in the midst of chaos.

saint!

Hongjun is about to become a saint!

Although he knew that Hongjun would become a saint sooner or later, Yang Gui felt a mixture of sympathy and envy when he saw him again.

"Damn it! What's wrong with me!" Yang Gui was startled, feeling that something was wrong with him.

Hongjun, who was not far away, sighed, "Fellow Daoist is indeed a person of steadfast character."

That old bastard is plotting against me again!

Yang Gui's face darkened, and he clenched his fists. "Old man! Don't think I won't do anything to you just because you're about to become a saint. If you continue to act so despicably, the Heavenly Merit I've prepared for you will explode!"

This old Taoist priest schemed against him time and time again, and Yang Gui almost lost his Daoist resolve!

Three golden wheels of merit suddenly appeared behind Yang Gui's head.

Divine light spread across a radius of millions of miles!

These were all the merits he had painstakingly accumulated through the Heavenly Way, which he kept to guard against Hongjun.

If it weren't for the fear of being detected by the Heavenly Dao for integrating it into one's own realm to improve one's cultivation, one's cultivation would have already reached the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, just one step away from the Primordial Limitless Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Hongjun's expression changed slightly, and he quickly spoke, "Fellow Daoist, please do not act impulsively!"

The explosion of the three golden wheels of merit would be too much for him to bear, even if he were to become a saint immediately. His cultivation level might even drop, affecting his grand plan!

"I have come here today because I have a feeling; there is something in Buzhou Mountain that I am destined to meet, and there is a karmic connection that needs to be resolved. I never expected to meet you again, fellow Daoist."

Hongjun stretched out his right hand and kept calculating. Finally, he said, "It seems that my karma lies with you, fellow Daoist."

Ok?

Yang Gui's gaze hardened.

This old Taoist priest truly owes me two great debts of karma.

Are you already preparing to repay? How could that be!

He immediately became unwilling and looked at Hongjun, saying, "Old man, you're really dishonest. You can't repay two great debts of karma, and you're just trying to brush me off?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he became extremely alert.

The methods those two Western saints used to overcome karma were incredibly ruthless.

Since we can't repay it, let the cause and effect disappear!

To solve the problem at its root, simply kill the other party.

Could it be that Master Hongjun is afraid that these two karmic ties will hinder his path to sainthood, and he wants to silence him?

Hongjun perhaps saw through Yang Gui's thoughts and shook his head, "Fellow Daoist, there is no need to panic, I have no ill intentions."

"The Heavenly Dao has instructed me to settle a karmic debt, but it has not revealed the specific cause and effect."

"I have tried to deduce the reason several times but have not found it. Today, I came to Buzhou Mountain to retrieve the item that was destined for me. I met you, fellow Daoist, and tried to deduce it again, but found that it was still the same."

"After much thought, it seems that I only owe you, my fellow Daoist, karma in this primordial world."

"It seems the cause and effect lies with you."

"I will soon become a saint, and at that time I will open an altar in the Zixiao Palace in the chaos to preach and enlighten all living beings; I hope you will do me the honor."

After hearing this, Yang Gui understood that it was because the Chaos Pearl had concealed the secrets of heaven from him, which made it strange that Hongjun was able to deduce them.

However, according to legend, listening to Hongjun preach was equivalent to owing him a karmic debt, thus establishing a master-disciple relationship.

He, Hongjun, received the fortune of heaven and earth and became a famous teacher in the primordial world.

This old man is so calculating, could he have ulterior motives?

Seeing that Yang Gui remained silent, Hongjun spoke again, "This time, I, the old Daoist, will repay a karmic debt to you, fellow Daoist."

Yang Gui chuckled softly, a hint of mockery in his voice, "And then take the opportunity to undermine my foundation once again?"

Thank you so much for the monthly tickets and recommendation votes! I am deeply grateful.
