Chapter 439 What Else Do You Want?
Although Yuanshi did not regain his memories, he was intelligent and thoughtful. Especially after he became inexplicably interested in Di Xin, he carefully analyzed every word Di Xin said and had already figured out the entanglement between Tongtian and Di Xin quite well.
The Ten Golden Immortals had long since passed away, so it was the Master and Uncle who joined forces to train a God of Slaughter, and then, the God of Slaughter went out of control...
They really have a tough life...
However, Guang Chengzi frowned, the more he looked at this god of death, the more familiar he seemed, as if he had seen him somewhere before, not in Chaoge, but somewhere else.
Where exactly is it? Guang Chengzi couldn't help but pound his head. He had failed at the crucial moment. He was truly useless. No wonder his master complained about him every day.
Tongtian could no longer laugh.
"Is there no other way?" Chang Hao was completely bewildered.
"Ignore him, he's like a child all day long. Don't worry, don't be disappointed, I'll think of a way to help you." Yuan Shi looked at Di Xin in his arms, pondering with difficulty.
Chang Hao leaned quietly against Yuanshi Tianzun, full of anticipation. Yuanshi Tianzun was a sage; perhaps he really had a way.
“I’ve got it.” Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Zhunti.
"What method? No matter how difficult, I'm willing to do it."
"Have you ever wondered why you, who are not saints, possess such formidable combat power?"
Chang Hao pondered for a while before saying, "My short-term burst of power can easily defeat them, but when it comes to a prolonged battle, the sages have the primordial world as their backing, their divine souls are entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, they are immortal and indestructible, and their spiritual energy is inexhaustible, which is beyond my reach."
“But your combat power is stronger than theirs,” Yuanshi pointed out the most incredible point. “We are saints, you are not. Have you ever thought that you possess the laws of the Great Dao, or that you are the embodiment of one of the Three Thousand Great Daos? That is why you are so powerful.”
Chang Hao fell into deep thought; he hadn't considered this question before.
“You are currently in the process of proving the Dao, and you are not proving the Heavenly Dao, but rather the Dao Saint who is on par with Father God Pangu.” Yuanshi was proud and his eyes were full of admiration.
Zhunti's smile froze on his face, and a chill ran through him. The entire prehistoric world was formed from the body of Pangu, the father god, who perished and transformed into all things. Even Pangu himself failed to achieve his goal.
This Di Xin can already crush them now. Once he truly becomes a Great Sage, will they still have a chance to survive?
"It's all the work of fate." Jieyin closed his eyes and calmed his mind; he had already realized this long ago.
"Are you sure?" A deeply etched memory flashed through Chang Hao's mind: the creation of the world.
Yuanshi nodded, "Rest assured in your pursuit of enlightenment. I will find a way to obtain a source of the Primordial Purple Qi."
A plan immediately came to mind: "Once you attain the supreme Primordial Dao Fruit, you can use the unbreakable connection between you to retrieve people from the river of time."
It is precisely because the one who is being worshipped by one of the laws of the Great Dao that it is so troublesome and fragile; if it were an immortal or a god, it would be easier to deal with.
Yuanshi was no longer in a hurry to go out and spend time with Di Xin; he had more important things to do.
Jieyin and Zhunti were greatly alarmed. What did Yuanshi Tianzun mean by that? No, no, no, they must have misunderstood. They were all saints, and they couldn't extract the Primordial Purple Qi. Yuanshi Tianzun didn't have that ability. It would be more appropriate for their master to do it himself.
Chang Hao pondered for a moment, thinking about the Hongmeng Pearl in his hand and the path he had taken. Suddenly, he realized that if he had the answer, he should just copy it. He knew what he had to do.
“I understand,” Chang Hao stepped out of Yuan Shi’s embrace. “I’m going out to become a saint. Wait for me.”
Before the Primordial Pearl had even been fully fed, Chang Hao, though physically in the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, was already in Lintong Pass, mentally condemning any cultivator who dared to go to Lintong Pass to assist in the battle.
"Don't rush, take your time, I'll help you." Yuanshi Tianzun smiled and watched Chang Hao leave.
Chang Hao turned and left, like a drowning person seeing a lifeline and desperately trying to grab it.
Zhunti and Jieyin's fingertips twitched as they stared warily at Yuanshi Tianzun. "Don't do anything rash. Sages are the pillars of the primordial world. You can't touch them."
"Don't worry, let me think of a foolproof plan. After all, the Primordial Purple Qi is delicate and cannot tolerate the slightest damage..."
Given the opportunity to be with Emperor Xin forever, Yuanshi Tianzun would not let such a good chance pass. Even if he was condemned by thousands, so what? Yuanshi Tianzun only cared about the good or bad of the people he cared about. Everything else was completely outside of Yuanshi Tianzun's concerns.
……………………
Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief. He was relieved to see that Chang Hao had regained some of his fighting spirit. That was good. Yuanshi was still somewhat useful, even though he still disliked Yuanshi.
"Hongjun, what's done is done. Be magnanimous. You don't want to put Lu Ya in a difficult position, do you?" Heavenly Dao took the opportunity to whisper encouragement in Hongjun's ear.
"Besides, you promised Lu Ya that you would no longer interfere with his relationship with Yuan Shi after he became a saint. You don't want to break your promise to Lu Ya, right, Hongjun? Have you forgotten?" Yuan Shi Tianzun, Yuan Shi Tianzun, for your sake, the Heavenly Dao has paid too high a price.
You must always clarify the Way of Heaven, and don't just casually declare that your own Way is right.
Hongjun gritted his teeth, swallowing the bitter pill silently. After a long while, he squeezed out one word at a time from the bottom of his throat: "I...self...remember."
Fortunately, he still had two conditions left unmet.
Heaven knows when to stop, and this is all the help it can offer. As for how Hongjun will torment him afterward, that's up to Yuanshi Tianzun himself; it can't guarantee anything forever.
Chang Hao, who had no intention of killing his father, could not find peace. Although the words of the Primordial Celestial Venerable were still in his mind, his spirit and energy were ultimately very different from before.
"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" Bigan, with his keen intuition, noticed that the King's expression was off. The Empress Dowager had only been back in the palace for a few days before passing away; there must be more to this than met the eye.
"He was probably angered by Xiqi. You didn't hear it, but Xiqi added another crime to His Majesty's list: murdering his mother. They said he was bewitched by a sorcerer, disobeyed the Empress Dowager, and angered his mother to death. It was as horrible as it could be." Shang Rong saw the memorial sent from Lintong Pass before entering the palace and was so angry that she almost fainted. Even now, her hands still tremble involuntarily.
"His Majesty's filial piety is well known, and it is absolutely impossible for him to have murdered his father and mother." Bigan strongly supported his nephew and wanted to ask the king in person what really happened to the Empress Dowager's death, but he was afraid of hurting the relationship between uncle and nephew.
Furthermore, Bi Gan had something on his mind. He had carefully read the bamboo slips that the king had given him that day. At first, he couldn't accept them, but being locked up and confined to his home, he couldn't help but ponder the matter. The more he pondered it, the more he felt that it was not a bad idea.
Just as he was beginning to accept the situation, the Queen Mother suddenly passed away. Could it be that the Queen Mother learned of this and clashed with the King, causing a sudden illness? If so, then the King's occasional absent-mindedness would be explained...
No, no, no, the Empress Dowager died of a sudden illness. Bi Gan ordered himself not to overthink it. No matter what, the King wouldn't be so heartless; he must be innocent in this matter.
Having discovered some clues, Bi Gan chose to ignore them. The king was the priority, and the empress dowager... well, the empress dowager had already received all the posthumous honors. The king had even given her the underground palace; what more could she want?
"Your Majesty, former Tongguan General Yu Hualong and Grand Master Jiang Shang are requesting an audience outside the palace," Quan Chang announced in a low voice.
"Let them in." Chang Hao put down the brush in his hand. They had finally arrived. Chang Hao couldn't wait any longer. He had slipped away to Lintong Pass and now he had two more people to cover for him.
