Chapter 44 Together We March to Kunlun, Seeking Answers
"What a remarkable Hongjun!"
That old bastard has been secretly watching this place all along!
Yang Gui was even more certain of his earlier thought.
Judging from the gourds in the hands of the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, their quality was somewhat inferior to the innate gourd vines he had just taken away.
The rest, whether in appearance or other aspects, are almost identical.
Yang Gui thought to himself, "Just how much stuff does this old bastard have?!"
After waiting for quite a while, the legendary gourd vine did not appear.
This gave Yang Gui yet another reason to speculate.
However, the conflict that was originally deepening among the deities such as the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, and Hong Yun has been shifted onto him because of him.
"That old bastard predicted I would come to collect the gourd, and somehow he cultivated similar gourds somewhere and distributed them to everyone."
"Things may seem different today, but overall, nothing has really changed."
"What exactly are you plotting, you old man?"
Taiqing calmly put away the gourd in his hand and said to Yang Gui, "Senior, since we have nothing to do today, why don't you come and sit with us at Kunlun Mountain?"
Nuwa's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "That's exactly what I was thinking too. Why don't you come along, senior?"
Yang Gui thought for a moment.
These few before us are the ones who, in order to perform meritorious deeds to mend the collapsing pillars of heaven in the future, would not hesitate to kill their own masters.
We'll have to face each other sooner or later.
Why not take advantage of this opportunity to get some freebies?
Then he nodded, "I'll be waiting for you in the Kunlun Mountains."
Before the sound had even faded, it had already vanished from the spot.
The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa were shocked. "Such speed!"
Hurry up and catch up.
But Yang Gui was nowhere to be seen.
Majestic Kunlun Mountains, shrouded in ethereal light.
Auspicious birds dance, and good fortune roams.
"No wonder it's the second largest mountain in the primordial wilderness!"
Looking at the Kunlun Mountains, which stretched for miles, Yang Gui sighed.
He had visited Kunlun Mountain once before.
Before Hongjun became a saint, Baiyujing was located on one of the mountain ranges.
However, after he became a saint, he was taken to the chaos and became a place of practice.
In addition to the Three Pure Ones, the Queen Mother of the West also resides in Kunlun Mountain today.
The main peak of Kunlun Mountain is home to the Taiqing Palace, Yuqing Palace, and Shangqing Palace, all situated within a specific area.
It forms a natural array, connecting the endless terrain of the Kunlun Mountains and drawing in spiritual energy from all directions.
"You're so fast, senior."
Shangqing Tongtian appeared above Kunlun Mountain with Taiqing Daoren, Yuqing Yuanshi, Nuwa, and Fuxi, exclaiming in amazement.
Yang Gui smiled and said, "Just some low-level supernatural abilities."
If what you're doing isn't respectable, then what are we?
Yang Gui's words caused all the other deities to inwardly complain.
Master Taiqing spoke up, "Senior, this is our three brothers' Daoist temple below. Please!"
With a wave of his hand, wind and clouds surged within Kunlun Mountain, and Yang Gui and his companions appeared near the Sanqing Palace.
Yang Gui exclaimed, "What a fine place!"
This Sanqing Palace not only looks extraordinary from the outside, but once you go inside, you'll find it's a place where the energy of heaven and earth converges.
No wonder it is one of the ancestral lineages of immortals in later generations.
"Please, senior!"
The Taoist priest Taiqing led a group of deities into the Taiqing Palace, where they took their seats.
"Since you've come as a guest, there's no reason for you to arrive empty-handed."
Yang Gui said in a low voice.
A flash in his hand.
Five five-needle pine cones representing gold, wood, water, fire, and earth fell in front of the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and Fuxi, respectively.
Upon seeing this, the deities were overjoyed. "Senior, you are truly blessed to possess such a spiritual fruit."
They each possessed their own lineage, and it was immediately clear that this was the fruit of a top-grade spiritual root, so they put it away.
He said thank you verbally.
The aura emanating from the Taoist Taiqing surged, and a series of innate restrictions appeared above the entire Sanqing Palace.
In the blink of an eye, a formation that covered the sky and the earth appeared in Kunlun Mountain.
Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian each activated their own palaces, further enhancing the power of the grand formation.
Upon seeing this, Yang Gui immediately guessed what the others were thinking.
With a flick of a finger.
Countless innate restrictions appeared in the void, and an even more powerful innate array was instantly set up.
Tongtian's eyes lit up when he saw the formation set up by Yang Gui. "Senior is so proficient in the art of battle."
Among the Three Pure Ones, Tongtian is proficient in both swordsmanship and formations.
He immediately wanted to pull Yang Gui aside for a discussion, but seeing the serious expressions on his two elder brothers' faces, he suppressed his impulse and sat down.
Yang Gui said slowly, "It's not worth mentioning."
He had just finished speaking.
Nuwa and Fuxi said to Yang Gui with gratitude, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
It turns out that Nuwa sensed a familiar aura the moment she first saw Yang Gui.
After confirming with Fuxi several times, it was finally confirmed that the senior Yang Gui in front of them was the one who preached to them and helped them quickly transform into human form before they took human form.
Yang Gui waved his hand, "Meeting is fate. As innate deities, you are born with great fortune, and I am just doing this as a matter of course."
Nuwa said softly, "Your casual action has brought about a destiny for my brother and me."
That's right.
After Yang Gui preached, their own spiritual foundations increased dramatically, and they transformed into human form ahead of schedule. They are now in the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, much stronger than the Three Pure Ones.
Upon hearing this, Sanqing was startled.
Unexpectedly, Nuwa and Fuxi, two innate deities, had this connection with the ancient figure before them.
At this moment, Daoist Taiqing spoke up, "Senior, I have some doubts in my mind. I wonder if you could enlighten me?"
Upon hearing this, Yuqing Yuanshi, Shangqing Tongtian, and Nuwa and Fuxi all turned serious and looked at Yang Gui.
Yang Gui's expression remained unchanged. He pointed to the sky and said, "If it's about that person, you can figure it out yourselves."
"If it concerns this sermon, I am willing to discuss it with you all."
In relationships, the worst thing you can do is to speak too intimately with someone you don't know well.
These five people in front of me are no pushovers, and I will have some karmic ties with some of them in the future.
If he hadn't wanted to take advantage of the situation, he wouldn't have come to Kunlun Mountain today.
Moreover, Hongjun is now their nominal master, and given his kindness in preaching to them, it's not a bad thing to talk about him more.
As for the future, once these deities truly understand, they will seek him out again.
Upon hearing this, the Taoist Taiqing fell silent.
Shangqing Tongtian, who seemed to have a carefree nature, said with a smile, "Senior, why go to such lengths?"
"The merits of that preacher are immeasurable. We should be grateful to him, not criticize him."
"I just don't quite understand their methods and would like to ask the senior to explain them to me."
No wonder he's the future leader of the Tongtian Cult; he speaks with such eloquence.
With your emotional intelligence, how did you manage to get so badly screwed over by your two older brothers?
Yang Gui's gaze wandered strangely between the three Pure Ones, his expression enigmatic.
Yuan Shi felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Senior, you can speak frankly if you have anything to say."
Yang Gui smiled and said, "You three are the transformations of Pangu's primordial spirit. You were born with great merit, so it is only right that you stand close to him when you preach."
"After all, he possesses the merit of creating the world, and his blessings are profound."
He then looked at Nuwa, "As for you, you will understand in the future."
Yang Gui did not say anything explicitly.
Hongjun wanted to take them as disciples, but he would never allow the scheme behind it to be thwarted.
Once Yang Gui makes it clear, that old bastard will definitely flip the table, and then things won't be fun anymore.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Gui said again, "The workings of Heaven are all for the benefit of all living beings; but the workings of my Way are indeed for my own self."
Upon hearing this, the Taoist Taiqing's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his expression instantly became unfathomable.
The several innate deities of Tongtian were somewhat confused and wanted to ask again, but were interrupted by the Taoist Taiqing.
"Since you say so, senior, why don't we take this opportunity to have a discussion?"
"It just so happens that we do not yet fully understand the Way of the Sage."
I've been eyeing the laws governing the three of you for a long time!
Yang Gui nodded. "That's exactly what I was thinking!"
