Taishang, upon hearing this, immediately struck out at Hongjun!
Seeing this, Hongjun scoffed, "You've only arrived with your divine soul, and you think you can hurt me?"
As Hongjun spoke, Taishang's attack passed through Hongjun's body as if Hongjun didn't exist!
The Heavenly Dao spoke, "It's useless. He has already begun to merge with the Dao. Unless your physical body also arrives, you won't be able to harm him!"
After the Heavenly Dao finished speaking, Hongjun sneered, "Your divine soul arriving alone is no different than seeking death!"
As soon as Hongjun finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao's voice rang out, "Be careful!"
After the words fell, lightning struck down in this space!
The lightning struck not far from Taishang, and Hongjun's enraged voice sounded, "You, if you let me kill him, I can slow down your dissipation!"
"Delusional!"
Taishang hadn't expected Hongjun to be able to use the power of the Heavenly Dao, nor had he expected this old fellow, even in this state, to still want to kill him!
Taishang immediately spoke, "Senior Heavenly Dao, may I know how one can enter here!"
The Heavenly Dao heard this and said, "You..."
Before the Heavenly Dao could finish speaking, it fell silent. Taishang looked at Hongjun's sneer and said, "Did you do this?"
Hongjun did not speak, merely staring coldly at Taishang!
Taishang also knew that this situation could not continue. His divine soul arriving alone seemed useless!
Suddenly, Taishang had an idea. He severed a wisp of his divine soul and returned to his physical body.
Hongjun watched Taishang disappear, then looked at the severed wisp of Taishang's divine soul, his face extremely grim.
His good corpse was too benevolent. Only when the evil corpse was present would it not lose control. But if his contingency plans didn't work, he would find it very difficult to gain an advantage over the Heavenly Dao. Nuwa alone was far from enough!
After Taishang's divine soul returned, Taishang sensed it and found that he could still feel it. He immediately spoke, "Second brother, third brother, come with me!"
Yuanshi and Tongtian, upon seeing Taishang awaken, were about to ask questions when they saw Taishang's stern expression and told them to follow.
The two said nothing and immediately followed Taishang. Taishang followed the senses of his divine soul.
On the other side, Hongjun's evil corpse and self-corpse separated, one heading towards the Demon Court, the other towards Mount Sumeru in the West.
Upon arriving at the Demon Court, Hongjun's evil corpse, following Hongjun's arrangement, concealed its presence and found Kunpeng.
Kunpeng, suddenly seeing Hongjun, was greatly startled and quickly knelt and bowed, "Greetings, Master!"
The evil corpse chuckled and said, "Rise!"
Kunpeng got up from the ground, and at the same time, he was very curious as to why Hongjun was looking for him.
The evil corpse looked at Kunpeng and said leisurely, "In Zixiao Palace, you originally had a futon, but it was snatched away by someone else, causing you to miss the chance to become a Saint. You must be resentful!"
Kunpeng's heart trembled. He didn't know what Hongjun wanted to do and said, "Master is joking. Master said that becoming a Saint is destined by Heaven. Perhaps I am not fated to be a Saint!"
The evil corpse laughed heartily and said, "You don't need to fool me. What if I can help you become a Saint?"
Kunpeng looked at Hongjun in disbelief. However, Kunpeng also knew that Hongjun wouldn't come to him for no reason. There must be something he needed, after all, there's no such thing as a free lunch in the world!
Although Kunpeng knew he might have to pay a great price, he couldn't resist the temptation of becoming a Saint!
Kunpeng looked at Hongjun and said, "Please, Master, teach me!"
The evil corpse smiled at Kunpeng. Kunpeng knew that Hongjun wanted him to declare his stance. Kunpeng said, "If Master has any commands, your disciple will certainly not shirk his duty!"
The evil corpse smiled with satisfaction and said, "Very good. I want you to snatch the River Diagram and the Luo Book during the Lich War. Then, I will teach you the method of becoming a Saint!"
Kunpeng looked troubled. The River Diagram and the Luo Book were the core of Emperor Jun's Hunyuan Heluo Great Formation. If he were to snatch them, wouldn't he be betraying the Demon Clan?
Kunpeng's face showed a struggle. After a long period of contemplation, he gritted his teeth and made his choice. As long as he could become a Saint, everything would be worth it, even if he were to be cursed for eternity and reviled by the Demon Clan. As long as he could become a Saint, who would dare to criticize a Saint?
Although Kunpeng decided to obey Hongjun, he still asked, "Master, the River Diagram and the Luo Book are Emperor Jun's personal belongings. How can I snatch them?"
At the same time, Kunpeng was puzzled as to why Hongjun wanted him to snatch the River Diagram and the Luo Book.
The evil corpse ignored Kunpeng and said leisurely, "If you want to become a Saint, you will surely find a way, won't you?"
Kunpeng was speechless and thought to himself, "If I had a way, why would I ask you?"
The evil corpse glanced at Kunpeng. Kunpeng was greatly alarmed, thinking that Hongjun could hear his thoughts!
Kunpeng quickly said, "Master, rest assured, your disciple will definitely find a way to snatch the River Diagram and the Luo Book!" Su Dan Novel Network
The evil corpse nodded and said, "Remember, what I told you today cannot be known by anyone else, otherwise! Hmph! You know the consequences!"
Kunpeng nodded repeatedly and said, "Master, rest assured, no one will know!"
The evil corpse nodded and then concealed its presence, leaving the Demon Court!
The evil corpse turned to look at Kunpeng's residence. The task Hongjun had given him was complete. With a cold sneer, he headed towards the chaos.
Hongjun's self-corpse arrived in the West and headed directly for Mount Sumeru!
On Mount Sumeru, Jieyin and Zhunti, upon seeing Hongjun suddenly appear before them, immediately knelt down and said, "We did not know Master was coming, please forgive us!"
The self-corpse looked at Jieyin and Zhunti before him and thought to himself, "Two fools. Nuwa has already become a Saint, and you two fools still need me to come!"
Jieyin and Zhunti looked at Hongjun, who was not speaking and whose expression was somewhat strange. They kept wondering if they had done something to anger Hongjun!
Although the self-corpse was displeased, for Hongjun's grand plan, he still said, "Rise!"
Hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti felt as if they had been granted a great amnesty and stood up from the ground!
They both smiled and asked, "We do not know why Master has come? If there was something, you could have just sent a message, why did Master have to come in person!"
The self-corpse ignored Jieyin and Zhunti's flattery and instead said, "I see that you two have been unable to become Saints for a long time, so I have come today to enlighten you both!"
Jieyin and Zhunti heard this and looked at Hongjun in disbelief. This! This! This happiness came too suddenly!
The two seemed unable to believe their ears. They were stunned for a long time before they finally reacted and immediately, with tears streaming down their faces, knelt before Hongjun and said, "Thank you, Master, for your favor!"
The two secretly rejoiced, thinking that their brotherhood still held some weight in Hongjun's heart!
The self-corpse looked at the tears and snot on his trouser legs from Jieyin and Zhunti's embraces and felt disgusted. However, for Hongjun's great cause, he had to endure it.
The self-corpse saw that Jieyin and Zhunti had no intention of stopping and said, "Enough, rise. I will teach you two the method of becoming a Saint!"
