Chapter 106 Disguise
Chang Hao has always been a cautious person. Even a fool would know that attacking Di Jun in the demon clan's lair would definitely lead to a confrontation with Taiyi.
Facing two golden crows and having to hide his identity from Taiyi, Chang Hao was under a lot of pressure. He needed to find someone to practice with first and get familiar with his disguised skills. Who was more suitable than Yuanshi?
Yuanshi waited and waited, but Chang Hao didn't appear. Unable to contain himself, he went to the back hall and vaguely saw a person standing on a black lotus flower, holding a god-slaying spear, with a flamboyant cloak fluttering in the wind...
Like this...
Yuanshi was thrown into great turmoil. Oh no, it was that demon, he was sure to harm Chang Hao.
He immediately summoned the Pangu Banner and sent it down upon Rahu from the sky.
Chang Hao turned around, avoiding the Pangu Banner. With a quick glance, he realized that Yuanshi was confused by his concern and had mistaken him for someone else.
Without explanation, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, riding the wind through the air, and in the blink of an eye, he had arrived in chaos.
Yuanshi pursued relentlessly. Just as he arrived in Chaos, the God-Slaying Spear suddenly pierced through the void. Yuanshi hurriedly used the Pangu Banner to block the spear, and with a backhand, he released countless precious lights from the Jade Ruyi. These precious lights transformed into countless sharp arrows that attacked Chang Hao.
Chang Hao flicked his wrist, wielding the God-Slaying Spear with ferocious speed, like a dragon, protecting himself completely. Despite the numerous arrows, none could penetrate his defenses.
Yuanshi used the auspicious clouds of the heavens to protect himself, but Pangu Banner did not defend and instead attacked, directly confronting the God-Slaying Spear.
Gradually, Yuanshi's expression became subtle. This time, the fighting was less about killing intent and more about helplessness.
Facing the attacking God-Slaying Spear once again, he calmly watched it, seemingly without any intention of defending himself.
Chang Hao sheathed the God-Slaying Spear, pressed Yuan Shi down, and knelt on one knee beside Yuan Shi. "What, do I look like this?"
Yuanshi didn't get up either, staring blankly at Chang Hao who was within reach. He could smell the unique fragrance of the soul with every breath, like a cold plum blossom in the snow, with an added touch of chill.
A man should be handsome in black, and Chang Hao is a rare beauty. Black suits Chang Hao even better, making him less ethereal and more noble and elegant, further highlighting Chang Hao's original temperament.
"You look more dignified in black; would you like to wear it more often in the future?" Yuanshi replied, seemingly oblivious to the question.
“I ask you a question and you answer a question,” Chang Hao pulled Yuan Shi up. “I’m disguised because I have important business to attend to.”
"Can you recognize me?" Chang Hao spread his sleeves and spun around on the spot, making it clearer for Yuan Shi. "Is there anything amiss?"
“Others would have been fooled,” Yuanshi didn’t misjudge at first either. “But I’m different. I know you better than anyone. I can see through you after just one or two moves. Don’t forget, we both practice the Jade Purity Primordial Scripture. How can the operation of our techniques be hidden from me?”
“That makes sense.” Chang Hao stroked his smooth chin thoughtfully. He was facing off against Di Jun and Tai Yi all at once, and if he was unlucky, he might also encounter Fu Xi and Nuwa. It wouldn’t be fun if he were to be defeated unexpectedly. He needed to find another sparring partner.
"What are you going to do that requires you to dress like this? Also, this gun and this black lotus were that person's magic weapons back then. Are you sure there's no problem?" Yuan Shi was full of doubts and worried about Chang Hao.
Chang Hao: "The God-Slaying Spear was given to me by Hongjun, and I took the Black Lotus from Luo Hou myself. That person is now the progenitor of all demons in the world, and can be called the Demon Ancestor. However, he is not a threat for the time being."
“Rahu, Demon Ancestor,” Yuanshi muttered to himself, “Dao, Demon…” He had entered a state of sudden enlightenment.
Chang Hao twitched his lips. He really wanted to fight these chosen ones, but Yuan Shi's enlightenment had indirectly achieved his goal, and he didn't want Yuan Shi to get involved in this mess.
This is his own private matter, and Yuanshi should not be dragged into it.
Chang Hao tried to put him into the Hongmeng Pearl without alerting Yuanshi. He thought it would take a lot of effort, but Yuanshi was completely unprepared and let him into the pearl.
He sighed. Wasn't it the same back then? Otherwise, how could he have had the ability to plot against Yuanshi Tianzun? This trust was something he could never repay; he could only repay it with his life.
Thinking that he was now in chaos, Chang Hao stroked his chin and sneaked into Zixiao Palace. Returning to the same place, the scenery was the same but his heart was different.
The peach blossom grove before him was still enchanting, but he was no longer the little boy who practiced swordsmanship in the grove back then.
Chang Hao searched all around Zixiao Palace but couldn't find Hongjun. That was impossible. Where else could Hongjun be but in Zixiao Palace?
Hongjun opened his eyes helplessly, looked at Chang Hao who was passing by him for the third time, and interrupted, "When are you going to find him?"
Chang Hao suddenly turned around, and under the innate peach tree, sitting quietly, was none other than Hongjun, with the purple gourd that Hongjun had given him hanging from his waist.
"So you were here. It's been quite a search for me," Chang Hao said, crouching down. "Your skill level has improved so much that I couldn't even find where you were hiding."
Upon closer inspection of Hongjun's expression, which was as helpless yet indulgent as ever, Chang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that the Dao Integration won't affect you much, so I'm relieved."
Before entering Zixiao Palace, Chang Hao was worried about meeting 'Hongjun' who looked at him with complete unfamiliarity. Because of this, he lingered at the entrance of Zixiao Palace and almost wore himself out on the steps.
“My cultivation is linked to the primordial world. When the saints of heaven and earth appear together in the future, it will be the peak of my power,” Hongjun did not hide anything. He looked at Chang Hao again and couldn’t help but praise him: “Your realm is also advancing by leaps and bounds. However, the Great Dao is hard to find. You must be mentally prepared. Don’t be obsessed with demons. I don’t want to go to the Demon Realm to rescue you.”
Rahu hated him deeply. Whatever he disliked, Rahu would do the opposite, taking pleasure in making him miserable.
Ah, the Great Dao… Hongjun was filled with emotion. He didn’t know if he would ever have the chance in this lifetime. Unfortunately, dragging the prehistoric world along to become an existence comparable to the Great Dao was too uncertain. He really had no confidence.
"Of course, it's a rare opportunity, so I have to give it a try, otherwise I won't be satisfied." Chang Hao doesn't ask for much now, he just wants to live freely and at his own pace. He then changed the subject, "But you, why did you give me all the spiritual treasures? Are you not living a good life? Look at the peach blossoms on your head, without the nourishment of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, they are not as splendid as before."
"There's no use keeping him. I'm hoping that you'll make something of yourself in the future and give me a hand. I have no other hope." Hongjun looked at Chang Hao with his usually calm eyes. He saw his hope. The Great Dao was not cut off from him, but even the Heavenly Dao could make mistakes. Chang Hao was his only chance. After all the twists and turns, he had finally found his.
Thinking about the oversight in the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun couldn't help but chuckle. The Qiankun Cauldron was something he had given away because he was worried about Chang Hao. The Heavenly Dao was pleased with this, believing that the Qiankun Cauldron was enough to repay the karmic debt for obstructing Luo Hou.
How could he be content with that? That's how the God-Slaying Spear and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil came about. He didn't want to be at peace, but he couldn't be. In the end, as he wished, the cause and effect were intertwined and never severed. With Chang Hao as the link, he became more and more clear-headed every day.
"You are a sage, and your words carry the power of law. I thank you for your kind words in advance." Chang Hao was overjoyed. Hongjun's words had a magical effect, so it seemed that his path to the Great Dao was promising.
"What brings you here?" Hongjun frowned as he looked at Chang Hao's attire.
