Chapter 488 Hongjun's IF Line (6)
Yuanshi looked at Zixiao Palace again, feeling that his master was somewhat wary of them. Given their cultivation level, it was impossible that he was wary of their strength. So why was that?
Having seen the divination at the top of Buzhou Mountain, Yuanshi naturally harbored a sense of wariness towards Hongjun.
"Chang Hao didn't come out either," Tongtian said, displeased. Although Chang Hao was originally from Zixiao Palace, he should stay there. He glanced at his second brother, who was lost in thought. Without Chang Hao by his side, his second brother would be difficult to get along with.
"What are you muttering about? Master told us to leave, how can we stay here without permission?" Laozi turned around without hesitation, he was also a little worried about Chang Hao.
Thinking about his master's attitude, Yuan Shi figured Chang Hao should be safe. With a heavy heart, he turned and left. Perhaps he should go to Lishan and wait for Chang Hao's return.
Tongtian was already planning whether to run away from home again. Without Chang Hao mediating between them, his future seemed bleak...
"Greetings, Master." Yaochi didn't know why Hongjun had kept her behind alone. Ever since she was enlightened, the Master had always treated her with indifference.
“Rise,” Hongjun said, leaving Yaochi behind for no other reason than to prevent Changhao from incurring the favor of the Three Pure Ones once again.
"Stay away from the Three Pure Ones." Hongjun's words were neither too loud nor too soft, but they contained a hint of warning.
"Yes, Master." Yaochi's heart skipped a beat, and she dared not make any rash assumptions.
"Hongjun, it seems you've missed taking three disciples." Chang Hao pointed at the futon, incidentally helping Yaochi out of a predicament, completely unaware that Hongjun's second half of the sentence was actually directed at him.
If this futon had no deeper meaning, wouldn't all those powerful figures have ended up fighting over it for nothing?
"You have no manners. Why are you calling me Hongjun again? You should call me Master instead."
Hongjun pressed Chang Hao's finger back down and sighed helplessly. Chang Hao was usually very clever, so why was he so stubborn today? Why did he warn Yaochi for no reason? It was all because of this heartless person.
Yaochi felt a surge of joy in her heart. She said, "Master dotes on Senior Brother so much, how could he not accept him as a disciple?"
The Heavenly Dao, betrayed by the future Heavenly Dao, churned endlessly in Hongjun's spiritual platform, trying to make Hongjun follow its plan step by step.
This is the optimal solution, which can extend the lifespan of the prehistoric world to the greatest extent.
Chang Hao opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a sound for a long time, feeling quite embarrassed.
"I will accept you, but not now. Let me see how your fusion is progressing." Hongjun didn't want to bring up the disciple he had to accept, so he casually changed the subject.
With Hongjun's guarantee, the Heavenly Dao calmed down.
A chill ran through Hongjun's heart. He harbored murderous intent towards the Heavenly Dao. How could he be a puppet in the hands of the Heavenly Dao?
"Yaochi, go and see your peaches of immortality," Hongjun said calmly. "You are a peach blossom in human form, and your roots are still shallow. You cannot stay away from your mother branch for long. When you have achieved success in your cultivation, I will bestow the peaches upon you."
Yaochi's eyes shone brightly. "Yes, thank you, Master. Yaochi will cultivate diligently and will never slack off in the slightest." She glanced at her senior brother, whose eyes were full of encouragement, and cleverly added, "I will go through fire and water for you in the future, without uttering a single falsehood."
Although she doesn't have the Peaches of Immortality spiritual root, Yaochi would still go through fire and water for her senior brother without hesitation, but this isn't about pleasing the master; saying nice things is always the right thing to do.
Chang Hao chuckled upon hearing this, "Your senior brother doesn't need you to go through fire and water. Just live your life to the fullest."
Yaochi nodded repeatedly, her heart pounding with excitement at the thought of possessing the Peach Spirit Root in the future. She couldn't calm down for a long time.
Hongjun's expression turned slightly cold. "Alright, Yaochi, it's time for you to go."
Hongjun recalled Yaochi, who had always stood behind Chang Hao and never abandoned him, and felt resentful.
"Yes, sir." Yaochi left obediently, not daring to complain in her heart.
Yaochi knew perfectly well that the master regretted his words after enlightening her. She only hoped that she would try to please him and stop him from getting jealous so easily. She would never leave her senior brother.
Hongjun dismissed Chang Hao and carefully examined him, a smile appearing on his face. "Not bad, you have already reached the peak of Quasi-Saint, and the Laws have become your innate divine power."
"Of course," Chang Hao nodded reservedly. The most important power of the law had been completely inherited by him. With his talent, comprehension, and perseverance, how could he possibly not be able to integrate it...?
The smile slowly, slowly disappeared from Chang Hao's face. He felt a little flustered. This was the law of the Great Dao, the child bestowed upon him by the law of the Great Dao. He could use it without being asked.
Chang Hao glanced cautiously at Hongjun. Hongjun understood and met Chang Hao's gaze with a smile, asking knowingly, "What's wrong? Don't you like the gift I gave you?"
Hongjun was in a great mood, and all the negative emotions he had felt due to the Heavenly Dao were swept away.
"I like it, I'll like anything you give me." Chang Hao was utterly dejected, suspecting that Hongjun was laughing at him.
If Hongjun asks, should he continue to make excuses? He absorbed the primordial spirit power of Pangu, and is barely a child of the Great Dao.
The better Hongjun treated him, the heavier the burden on Chang Hao's heart became. He even gave up the most important Dao Law. Did he really want to continue to deceive Hongjun, who treated him with utmost sincerity?
"Why are you hesitating?" Hongjun was cunning; he knew Chang Hao's dilemma but pretended not to.
“I…” Chang Hao steeled his heart, “I want to…”
Subconsciously, Chang Hao knew that Hongjun was very indulgent towards him and would probably give him a minor punishment and let the matter drop.
"Alright, don't think about anything anymore. Now that you can protect yourself, I can rest assured." Hongjun directly interrupted Chang Hao's decision. Even if Chang Hao wanted to be honest, Hongjun didn't want to listen.
He also hoped that this weakness would make Chang Hao hesitate to act rashly, feel guilty towards him, and give in to him again and again.
Chang Hao was bold and responsible, but what happened after he spoke up? Hongjun was very self-aware; he was unwilling to do anything to Chang Hao. Apart from losing a handle for nothing, he would gain nothing and might even have to pay a lot of money.
"What are you up to?" Chang Hao's words had a double meaning, further confirming one thing: Hongjun really knew. He was pretending not to know, which was utterly wicked.
"Chang Hao, my time is running out. Although I want to protect you, I am powerless to do so." Hongjun sighed deeply, his desolation and loneliness, along with the ancient desolation, made Chang Hao feel extremely distressed.
“You are a sage, living as long as heaven and earth, shining as brightly as the sun and moon. Even if my Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man arrive, you will be fine.” Chang Hao doubted his ears. How could Hongjun be in trouble? This was the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, whom even the Great God Pangu could not do anything about.
"After the third sermon, I will merge with the Dao. Hongjun is the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao is not Hongjun. Even if I can break free and attain the supreme Dao, I don't know when or how long it will take, and I will be unable to interfere with the great trend of the prehistoric world. I can only follow the will of Heaven. Do you understand?" Hongjun was full of desolation and tried his best to act pitiful in front of Chang Hao.
The future Heavenly Dao has gone mad for some unknown reason, dealing with itself. Although it still needs to merge with the Dao, it possesses absolute freedom.
