Chapter 14 The Uninvited Guest
Yuanshi's expression was not good. "You appear clever on the surface, but you are actually stupid and clumsy. You haven't even truly taken human form yet, but you dare to wander around the prehistoric world. Aren't you afraid of being taken away and refined into a magic weapon?"
Although Chang Hao was lectured, he was not angry. Instead, he felt nostalgic, as he had not heard such caring reprimands for many years.
Based on his understanding of Yuanshi, he would only preach to someone he was close to; otherwise, you'd see if he would even listen to you.
After lecturing for a while, Yuanshi suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Chang Hao, expecting to see Chang Hao furious, but instead saw a smiling face. One cannot hit a smiling person, so Yuanshi could not continue scolding.
Chang Hao's smile deepened. It turned out that Yuanshi was only responsive to gentle persuasion, not force.
Seeing that Yuanshi had stopped lecturing, Chang Hao bowed deeply to him, thanking him for his help in helping him find his original source.
Yuanshi reached out and helped Chang Hao up. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He planned to take Chang Hao back to Kunlun. From then on, Chang Hao became his first disciple, Yuqing Yuanshi.
"Do you intend to..." Yuanshi hadn't finished speaking when he sensed Tongtian's cry for help deep in his soul, and at the same time, he sensed an unpredictable crisis. His face turned grim. "Third brother has gotten into some trouble. I have to rush over to help him. You rest well in the formation and wait for me to return."
"Alright, I'll wait for you inside. Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, go ahead without worry. Don't worry about me." Chang Hao was unaware that Yuanshi had unilaterally confirmed the master-disciple relationship. He only knew that he had just successfully regained his original form and should consolidate it properly, so he didn't presume to follow along.
Following his senses, Yuanshi felt Tongtian's emotions were in turmoil and knew the situation was dire. Knowing Tongtian's true nature, he dared not delay any longer.
On the other hand, Tongtian really messed up a huge mess.
………………
After secretly tricking Chang Hao, Tongtian used him to distract his second brother and then went to visit the Pangu Temple in the Ancestral Witch Territory.
The Ancestral Witches don't cultivate their primordial spirit, they only cultivate their physical body, and they don't know how to use spiritual treasures even if they have them.
But if I come across it, I'll bring the item back, not wanting to let others benefit from it.
Therefore, the Pangu Palace contains many innate spiritual treasures, which would cause a frenzy of looting outside, but in the Pangu Palace, they can only serve as decorations.
So when Tongtian transformed and entered the Pangu Palace, he was recognized as the master by the Six Soul Banners that the Ancestral Witch had placed around the room as decorations. Then the Heavenly Flower Falling Flag and the Tai Sui Whip also recognized him as the master.
The recognition of a master by a primordial spiritual treasure is bound to cause a great commotion, especially since Tongtian sneaked in. He's really messed things up now, and the twelve ancestral witches are all rushing to the Pangu Palace.
Tongtian could easily take on four Ancestral Witches at once, but the longer the stalemate lasted, the more Ancestral Witches arrived, until all twelve Ancestral Witches attacked together.
Tongtian could only notify his two older brothers to come to his rescue, otherwise he would be doomed.
Just as Tongtian was struggling to defend himself, Yuanshi arrived. When he saw that there were twelve of them fighting against his third brother, his protective nature kicked in, and he didn't care who was right or wrong, he started fighting first.
With the blessing of the heavenly auspicious clouds, the Haotian Mirror shone on the Ancestral Witch, causing her to feel pain instantly. Even though it could not harm the Ancestral Witch's physical body for the time being, it alleviated the disadvantage of twelve against two.
Even though the situation was at a stalemate, Yuanshi did not take out the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and Tongtian also hid the Qingping Sword well, determined not to let the names of the Three Pure Ones be tarnished.
To make matters worse, the Lian Tian Coffin placed in front of the Pangu statue automatically recognized Yuanshi as its master.
“Oh no…” Yuan Shi was annoyed.
Tongtian clicked his tongue in astonishment. The Heavenly Coffin was the lifeblood of the Ancestral Witches...
In an instant, old and new grudges surged back into the hearts of the Ancestral Witches, and they recklessly unleashed their supernatural powers upon Yuan Shi.
Dijiang locked this space, and Zhujiuyin's time law descended, clearly intending to turn the intruders to ashes. Furthermore, Shebishi isolated the spiritual energy of the space, and flashes of lightning appeared. For a moment, Yuanshi was in grave danger.
Tongtian, disregarding the need to conceal his identity, unleashed his Qingping Sword, piercing the air with a single strike, attempting to break the space that sealed off Yuanshi.
Unfortunately, Tongtian was surrounded by the seven Ancestral Witches of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Rain, plus the Ancestral Witch of Thunder, so there was no way to rescue him.
Even with the blessing of the heavenly auspicious clouds, which protected it from evil, the Primordial One had only recently obtained it and had not yet deeply refined it, so it was broken.
The various supernatural powers struck Yuanshi, and although he managed to summon the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in time, he was still seriously injured.
Seeing that the Three Pure Ones were about to be renamed the Two Pure Ones, Tongtian was furious and wanted to sacrifice himself to save Yuanshi.
Just then, a small tower flew in from outside and covered Yuanshi Tongtian. Under the Xuanhuang light, Yuanshi and the tower disappeared in an instant, leaving the twelve ancestral witches with nowhere to vent their anger.
"Ah!!! You scoundrels!!! You're not human!!! Don't let us find you..."
On the other side, Chang Hao waited in place, calming his mind and immersing himself in cultivation. Because of his unique experience, he naturally embarked on the path of cause and effect. When he briefly woke up from his cultivation, he would think about some vague memories.
He wanted to protect this land and see his world again, and strength was essential for that.
I've forgotten most of the myths I read as a child, except for a few that I remember vividly.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, there are a few things that can be speculated. One is that Nuwa created humans. Based on her current observations, there were no humans in the prehistoric world, which suggests the possibility that they were created later.
Secondly, the legend of Nuwa patching up the sky illustrates that the sky could collapse.
What supports heaven and earth now? It is Mount Buzhou, formed from the spine of the great god Pangu.
Mount Buzhou was the pillar of heaven and earth. Its collapse would cause the heavens and earth to tilt. Nuwa needed to mend the sky, so Mount Buzhou must have suffered a severe blow before that. Mount Buzhou collapsed.
No matter how Nuwa mended the sky, it could never compare to the original pillars. The world was severely damaged and might shatter, its spiritual energy would gradually dissipate, and eventually, like in later generations, the immortals and gods would depart and become legends.
The collapse of Buzhou Mountain may be an important reason for the recurrence of the Heaven and Earth Society. Regardless of whether it is true or not, Chang Hao's goal is to protect Buzhou Mountain first.
The primordial chaos blurred the flow of time. Three years passed, and Yuanshi was nowhere to be seen. Chang Hao belatedly realized that something might have happened to him.
Chang Hao planned to remove the formation. He wasn't Tang Sanzang; he was too weak to fight and couldn't wait there indefinitely. He planned to search for Yuanshi's whereabouts while returning to Lishan.
As soon as the formation was dispelled, a sword beam, as swift as lightning, arrived. Chang Hao's figure instantly transformed into a sky full of starlight, dodging it.
"You've finally come out. You've kept my brother waiting for ages," Di Jun said, seething with anger. "So it was you who triggered the origin of the Zhou Tian stars?"
Di Jun stared intently, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat. How could this person have the Golden Crow bloodline? Although it wasn't as pure as his own, it was definitely the Golden Crow bloodline.
Chang Hao silently gripped the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag. "What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"
Today's Chang Hao is not yesterday's Chang Hao. With two early-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals, he believes he can still put up a fight.
