Chapter 722: Chapter 741: A Storm is Brewing
Yet, the most critical question was not these, but whether the Hongng Purple Qi could allow him to beco a Saint?
As everyone knows, there are three major techniques for achieving Saint status in Heaven and Earth. Without ntioning the other two, to beco a Saint through Hongng Purple Qi is also known as achieving Saint status through rit.
This thod of becoming a Saint is the simplest, requiring one to possess Hongng Purple Qi and also to have imnse rit blessing oneself, then one can beco a Saint.
However, let us not forget that Ye Xuan pursued the path of Proving Dao with Power, which is not the path of becoming a Saint through rit. Even if he abandoned Proving Dao with Power to choose rit to Saint, where would this rit co from?
“No, the Heavenly Court must not be given up.”
Suddenly, Ye Xuan returned from his reverie and directly rejected Kong Xuan’s proposal, which caused Kong Xuan and Kunpeng’s expressions to change slightly, a look of urgency flashing in their eyes.
“Younger brother, you must understand that now is not the ti to be obstinate. Although we might give up the entire Heavenly Court, but…”
Before Kong Xuan could finish, Ye Xuan slowly shook his head and interrupted, “Big brother, there are so things I cannot discuss in detail with you. Just know that this thod simply won’t work.”
As Ye Xuan’s words fell, Kong Xuan and Kunpeng could only sigh helplessly, unable to continue persuading Ye Xuan.
“Daoist friend, do not worry, in fact, there is still a solution to this matter.” Lu Ya spoke with a smile.
“Hmm?”
Ye Xuan looked towards Lu Ya, a shadow of suspicion crossing his eyes, and he asked in a deep voice, “I wonder what kind of solution Daoist friend has?”
“Ye Daoist friend must not forget, although Emperor Fengdu knows that you have the Hongng Purple Qi, Emperor Jun and the others do not know this news. Even if Emperor Fengdu were to tell Emperor Jun and the others that you obtained the Hongng Purple Qi, as long as the Daoist friend denies it outright, they would have no way to do anything to you.”
“Moreover, Daoist friend must not forget that the Hongng Purple Qi was personally taken away by Emperor Fengdu—he is the primary suspect.” Lu Ya spoke earnestly, his face wearing a friendly smile.
Hearing Lu Ya’s words, Ye Xuan’s expression faltered, a flash of enlightennt sweeping through his eyes.
Yes, as long as he didn’t admit it, even if Emperor Fengdu spread the news that he obtained the Hongng Purple Qi, what would that matter?
To know that the Hongng Purple Qi was personally taken by Emperor Fengdu—he was the primary suspect!
Ye Xuan suddenly understood; he had overcomplicated the matter. If not for Lu Ya’s reminder, he might really have not escaped this ntal cul-de-sac.
“Why do you want to help ?” Ye Xuan looked directly into Lu Ya’s eyes, hoping to discern this person’s thoughts, but Lu Ya maintained his smiling expression, making it impossible to see what he was truly thinking.
“Daoist friend is the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint. I know that I have no fate with Saint status, so naturally, I wish to form a good connection with Daoist friend. Apart from this, I have no ulterior motive.” Lu Ya stated leisurely, as if he truly ant what he said—simply wishing to be on good terms with Ye Xuan, the future Saint.
“Thank you, Daoist friend, for your guidance. Ye Xuan is grateful,” Ye Xuan’s somber expression was no more, a smile appeared on his face as he gave Lu Ya a bow, seemingly truly trusting in what Lu Ya had said.
“Before I depart, I must remind Daoist friend of one thing. This Huang Mozhi needs to keep his identity concealed. If Emperor Jun and the others know he is your man, it would an that the Hongng Purple Qi is indeed in your hands. By then, even if Daoist friend denies it, it would be of no use.”
The Daoist Lu Ya spoke softly, then slowly disappeared into the void, as if his coming to this place was to show goodwill towards Ye Xuan, and also to consider his well-being.
Watching the Daoist Lu Ya as he left, the smile gradually faded from Ye Xuan’s face, a sliver of chilliness crossing his eyes.
“This Lu Ya Daoist is no simple character,” Ye Xuan murmured to himself.
“After Hong Jun ca Heaven, and yet Lu Ya Daoist was there before them.”
Kunpeng spoke softly, a heavy expression on his face, “Lu Ya is too mysterious, even I do not know his origins. When Heaven and Earth were first parted, he was already a Daluo Golden Immortal. At that ti, even though The Three Pure Ones had not yet beco Saints, they would still respectfully address him as Daoist brother.”
“No matter what his purpose is, the Hongng Purple Qi is now in my hands; I only need to be on guard against him at all tis.”
“Let’s go!”
Ye Xuan called out to the three people and, summoning auspicious clouds beneath his feet, headed back towards the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven.
Having obtained the Hongng Purple Qi, Ye Xuan had to study it thoroughly to discover its marvelous uses and why it was key to becoming a Saint.
Moreover, he had to preside over the Heavenly Court, because the various Quasi-Saints would surely co to test whether he truly possessed the Hongng Purple Qi. If he were not in the Heavenly Court, great chaos would undoubtedly arise.
…
At the sa ti,
In the vast blue sky and the boundless land,
Several figures battled from the heavens to the earth and from the earth back up to the heavens, with the blood of Quasi-Saints spilling across Changtian. Emperor Fengdu was fleeing in a sorry state, pursued frantically by several powerful Quasi-Saints.
“Fengdu, hand over the Hongng Purple Qi and I’ll spare your life,” Emperor Jun struck fiercely. Each Demon Clan’s Technique he executed caused a cataclysmic scene: mountains were shattered and rivers ran in reverse flow; the terrifying spectacles were simply indescribable.
It wasn’t just Emperor Jun; Zhu Rong was also furiously chasing Emperor Fengdu, and the Qing Sky Daoist was sneak-attacking from the shadows. The three Quasi-Saints surrounded and intercepted Fengdu, inflicting upon him unprecedented injuries.
“I’ve already said that I gave the Hongng Purple Qi to my disciple, yet this ungrateful wretch turned out to be Ye Xuan’s man. At this mont, the Hongng Purple Qi is not in my possession,” Emperor Fengdu, covered in blood, continuously unleashed Ghost Dao Great Techniques, barely holding off the onslaught of the three Quasi-Saints.
No wonder Emperor Fengdu was in such a dire state; Emperor Jun alone was more than he could handle, not to ntion Zhu Rong, the Fire Ancestor Witch. Even though he was the supre Ghost Emperor of the Underworld, he was now fleeing for his life.
Yet Emperor Fengdu’s eyes were bloodshot with rage. Although he was being relentlessly pursued, the hatred he harbored toward Ye Xuan and Huang Mozhi gnawed at his Primordial Spirit like a bone-burrowing maggot.
Humiliation, profound humiliation—it was an ignominious disgrace.
Emperor Fengdu never imagined that he would be played like a fiddle by Ye Xuan and Huang Mozhi, even inadvertently making a bridal garnt for Ye Xuan.
Ghost Heaven Technique, Traceless Amongst the Heavens; it even contained a trace of Emperor Fengdu’s Primordial Spirit. No matter where Huang Mozhi went, he could discern his location—that was the trick he had perford on Huang Mozhi, just to prevent any accidents.
When he learned the truth, Emperor Fengdu was so furious he could explode and desperately wished to tear Ye Xuan and Huang Mozhi into pieces. Unfortunately, Emperor Jun and others arrived, encircling and cutting off any escape. No matter how he explained, they refused to believe him.
Hand over the Hongng Purple Qi,” Emperor Jun roared fiercely, rciless in his attack.
“Emperor Jun, calm down and think about it. Why isn’t Ye Xuan chasing after with you? Does he not care about the Hongng Purple Qi?” Emperor Fengdu, while desperately fleeing, bellowed angrily.
