Chapter 483 Hongjun's If Line 1
(The entry point is Chapter 69, which can be considered a parallel universe.)
Time passed swiftly, and the spiritual pearls traversed the area, eventually falling into the Purple Cloud Palace and merging into Hongjun's spiritual platform. Countless insights from cultivation flowed through Hongjun's Purple Mansion, and with divine assistance, Hongjun quickly integrated them, making his strength unfathomable...
Chang Hao was suddenly dragged away from Taiyin Star. In a dizzying moment, he looked up and saw himself in Hongjun's arms, which made him furious.
"Hongjun, what are you doing? Can't you talk things out properly? Why do you have to resort to such methods to kidnap me?" Chang Hao tried to stand up by pulling Hongjun's hand away. Didn't he have any dignity?
It's unclear whether Nuwa saw clearly that he wasn't leaving on his own but was being taken away.
Hongjun looked grim. After his cultivation level had greatly improved, he woke up from his meditation and discovered that Chang Hao's remnant soul was missing. He quickly retrieved Chang Hao and brought him back to Zixiao Palace.
The moment Chang Hao entered his arms, countless memories exploded. The methods of the future Heavenly Dao's surrender immediately shielded him from the present Heavenly Dao and restored Hongjun's freedom in this timeline. Hongjun was no longer imprisoned in Zixiao Palace and could not leave except during the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth.
There's no other way; those who know when to yield are the wise. The future Heavenly Dao also wants to evolve. It finally succeeded in evolving and doesn't want to be reduced to its original form.
Hongjun felt a tremor in his mind as he sorted through the memories from different timelines. The memories were incomplete, likely due to normal wear and tear caused by the power of spacetime.
Seeing that Hongjun did not react, Chang Hao glared at Hongjun with angry eyes. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He had never seen such a serious expression on Hongjun's face before, as if something terrible had happened.
Chang Hao immediately fell silent, staying quietly and not daring to disturb Hongjun.
Hongjun sorted out his memories and waited for a long time, but did not receive any other memory fragments.
Hongjun frowned. The clearest memory in his hazy recollection was of Chang Hao's many hardships, and the constant advice he gave was to keep an eye on Chang Hao.
The probing gaze fell on Chang Hao in his arms, scrutinizing him from head to toe, over and over again.
Chang Hao felt a chill run down his spine from Hong Jun's gaze. Seeing that Hong Jun had come to his senses, he quickly pulled his hand away and distanced himself from Hong Jun.
"Hongjun, you're looking for me?" Chang Hao's heart pounded. Hongjun's eyes were particularly strange. Had he been recognized?
"Hmm." Hongjun's mind was still on the sudden memory. He originally wanted to find Chang Hao to confess his mistake, but now that he knew where that remnant soul had gone, the crisis was over.
Huh? That's it? Chang Hao was about to get angry when he met Hongjun's gaze and felt a chill run down his spine again, as if he had become invisible in Hongjun's eyes.
"Don't you have anything to say to me? For example, what are you hiding from me?" Hongjun's words were loaded with meaning. This little liar is quite good at deceiving people; he had really been fooled quite a bit.
"What?" Chang Hao felt extremely guilty. Could it be that Hongjun had recognized him as the one who had secretly shot him in the back?
Oh no, his quasi-saint cultivation level is still not enough. He has no power to resist Hongjun. He should become a saint as soon as possible.
"Alright, I won't force you, but my patience is limited. You'd better confess sooner rather than later." A hint of a smile flashed in Hongjun's eyes as he looked at Chang Hao's guilty reaction and suddenly didn't want to expose this little liar so easily.
Chang Hao's eyes flickered uncertainly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Could it be? Did Hongjun really see through him, or was he just bluffing?
"I've come to see you this time because it's important." Hongjun suddenly frowned. Jinwu was reluctant to get involved with Chang Hao.
"What is it? Just say it." Chang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. He desperately wanted to escape, but without Hongjun's permission, Zixiao Palace was not a place he could come and go as he pleased.
"Your wisp of soul is gone..." Hongjun's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Chang Hao's ears.
"What do you mean my soul is gone?" Chang Hao didn't believe Hongjun at all. "Who could take my soul away from you?" It really wasn't Hongjun who messed around and made it disappear.
Chang Hao was skeptical. He knew that Hongjun was locked in a battle with the curse, as if he were competing with Rahu.
"Don't worry, this was my oversight. It's fate, and I already know where he is," Hongjun reassured him.
"What do you mean by 'fate is hard to defy'? I only believe that human will can overcome fate. Don't push things onto fate. Since you know where it is, why don't you tell me quickly so I can go and get it back?" Chang Hao was extremely anxious. He blamed himself for trusting Hongjun's power too much, which led him to carelessly hand over a fragment of his remnant soul to Hongjun.
"Don't worry, don't be angry. We can't get them back for now." There's no use in being anxious, unless Fei Hao is ruthless enough to cut off the life of those little golden crows.
Hongjun stared at Chang Hao, his immediate priority being to resolve the curse on Chang Hao and restore his memories.
Chang Hao glanced sideways at Hongjun and subtly provoked him, "You don't even know where they went, do you?"
"You know I never lie to you." Hongjun couldn't help but chuckle. With the external memory of cheating, Chang Hao's little scheme couldn't be more obvious.
Chang Hao was speechless. He didn't lie, but Hongjun chose not to speak, and he remained uneasy.
Hongjun pulled Chang Hao to his side. Knowing where Yangmei was hiding, Hongjun was in a good mood. Once he caught Yangmei, he could use his soul to fill the gaps in Chang Hao's broken spirit.
Thinking of this, Hongjun frowned. The methods used by the unknown person who kidnapped Chang Hao were particularly familiar, especially since he had used such methods to deal with Luo Hou before, although Luo Hou eventually escaped his control.
"What?" Chang Hao felt that Hongjun was a little different, but he hadn't figured out what was different because he hadn't known him for long.
"Have you made any like-minded fellow Daoists in the prehistoric world?" A murderous glint flashed in Hongjun's eyes. He secretly blamed the future Hongjun for not transmitting more information, which made him suspicious of everyone now and think that everyone might be trying to abduct Chang Hao.
The future Hongjun could only watch helplessly as Chang Hao followed him step by step. It wasn't that he didn't convey his message, but rather that Chang Hao had him under surveillance and he had no chance.
It was leaked out. If Hongjun hadn't reacted quickly and Changhao hadn't mistakenly thought that Hongjun himself wanted to enter the River of Time, Changhao would have retrieved the leaked memory pearl long ago.
Chang Hao's eyelids twitched. "You want to interfere with my friendships?"
“That’s right,” Hongjun said with a forced smile, “Don’t make friends with people I don’t approve of.”
Chang Hao glanced at Hongjun and said, "You say your thing, I'll do mine."
Hongjun could tell at a glance that Chang Hao hadn't taken his words to heart, but it didn't matter. Even if he had achieved Dao, he wouldn't be confined to Zixiao Palace anymore, so he could go anywhere.
Sensing that the Three Pure Ones had arrived outside Zixiao Palace with Yaochi, Hongjun spared a sliver of his mind to carefully examine the four people. Regret welled up within him; why had he brought up Yaochi again?
"Let's go, I'll take you to Rahu's place." Hongjun suddenly changed his mind. Yangmei was right there, and the sooner he got it, the sooner he would feel at ease. There weren't many Chaos Demons left.
Without Yangmei, Hongjun would have to sacrifice Luohou to heal Changhao's damaged true spirit and restore all of Changhao's memories. Only then would Changhao have a chance to reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao.
As for Rahu, he is a formidable opponent, not someone who can be easily defeated.
