Chapter 85 The Immortal-Slaying Gourd
Yuanshi's face turned ashen, cursing Hongyun as a useless piece of trash. He couldn't hold out for even a moment longer. "Tongtian, keep an eye on the surroundings for me." Hongyun's incompetence had ruined his plans.
As he spoke, Yuanshi took out the Eight Treasures Palace Lantern. Under Tongtian's horrified gaze, he took out his own Primordial Purple Qi and placed it in the Eight Treasures Palace Lantern as a catalyst. He then used the Jade Purity Qi to ignite the Eight Treasures Palace Lantern. The purple qi below, which had been destroyed by the self-destruction and was like a rootless duckweed, drifted out on its own and disappeared into the Eight Treasures Palace Lantern...
Tongtian's lips trembled, and he almost jumped up. Holding the Qingping Sword, he looked around suspiciously, inwardly screaming, "What is my serious, upright, rigid, and boring second brother doing? Does he think no one dares to steal the Primordial Purple Qi of the Three Pure Ones?"
Yuanshi always followed the rules and regulations, but when he deviated from them, he shocked Tongtian. The little Tongtian in Tongtian's mind held his head in confusion and asked, "Second brother, do you even know what you're doing?"
On the other side, Taiyi was holding down Kunpeng's position. Seeing countless purple lights drifting over, he changed his expression, took out the Chaos Bell and covered a lot of purple light.
As more purple light was about to spread throughout the primordial world, a scroll flew down from the depths of chaos. The purple energy that had not been collected in time clung to the scroll, and the originally pale yellow scroll gradually revealed a purple-gold aura, mixed with the breath of the Heavenly Dao.
Seeing the situation was dire, Yuanshi grabbed the Eight Treasures Palace Lantern and fled with Tongtian. Who else in the entire prehistoric world could pull off such a feat besides their master? If they didn't leave now, the Primordial Purple Qi they had collected would be lost…
………………
Taiyi took out the Chaos Bell and handed it to Dijun, saying, "Brother, this contains a portion of the Primordial Purple Qi that I have absorbed."
Di Jun took it, casually examined it, and then handed it back to Tai Yi. "It's shattered like this, it's probably ruined. Think of a way to dispose of it." This would be most advantageous for him.
“Hmm…” Taiyi pondered deeply, speechless for a moment.
"This matter is probably not easy." Fuxi pondered for a moment, and was also caught in deep thought. This was an incarnation of the Dao that could allow one's primordial spirit to be entrusted to the Heavenly Dao/Great Dao and become immortal and indestructible. Even if it was shattered like this, it was not something that could be dealt with so easily. They did not have that ability.
“I specialize in the Way of Creation, the origin of all things and life. Why don’t you temporarily store them with me?” Nuwa suddenly said. “I’ll think of a way. If we can restore them, they can be a good bargaining chip in the future.”
"This is something that defies the heavens and should never be done. Even if it can be restored, what can this little bit of Primordial Purple Qi do? Don't waste your time on something impossible." Fuxi didn't understand why Nuwa would take on this task. It was clearly a thankless task, and if word got out, it would cause him a lot of trouble and delay his own comprehension of Primordial Purple Qi.
Nuwa glanced at Chang Hao casually and said, "We can't do much now, but who knows what will happen in the future? It's the Primordial Purple Qi after all." The sun and moon revolve, and it might come in handy someday. Some people are already planning for it.
Chang Hao, having been immersed in the intrigues and schemes of the court and possessing profound cultivation in this life, felt a chill run down his spine as he stared at the source of the gaze: "Why are you staring at me when you're talking about the Primordial Purple Qi? I have no interest in the Primordial Purple Qi; I wouldn't even take it for free." Did you understand? Something he wouldn't even take for free, don't even think about using it to scheme against him.
Nuwa twitched her lips. Damn it, how could this person be so perceptive? She had only had a thought, and she wasn't even trying to control Chang Hao himself.
Taiyi was unaware of the underlying tension between the two and simply addressed the matter superficially: "Chang Hao, do you want the Primordial Purple Qi?"
"No, I don't want it." Chang Hao quickly refused. What a joke! He already had the complete Primordial Purple Qi, why would he need this shattered Purple Qi?
Taiyi glanced at Nuwa. Based on his understanding of Nuwa, he knew that she was always thinking ten steps ahead. She didn't have Nuwa's far-sighted vision, only a heart full of pure passion. He immediately took out the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, transferred the Primordial Purple Qi from the Chaos Bell into it, and stuffed the gourd into Chang Hao's arms under Nuwa's incredulous gaze: "Take this and play with it."
Chang Hao, who had been stuffed with a gourd, was both amused and exasperated. "Taiyi, I'm not a cub anymore. I'm way past the age of playing."
Di Jun was furious. "Taiyi, if you don't want it, you can give it to me. I want it." He was so poor that all he had left were the Hetu and Luoshu, his two companion magic treasures. As for the others, they had long been stored in the warehouse and belonged to the Demon Court, not to him, Di Jun.
Taiyi remained silent, pretending not to hear, and looked at Chang Hao with a smile: "Do you know how to play with this gourd?"
Chang Hao asked in surprise, "Isn't this the gourd from the original innate gourd vine? Taiyi, didn't you refine it into a weapon?"
"A single weapon that suits my needs is enough. I have the Chaos Bell, which surpasses countless innate spiritual treasures." Taiyi touched the ancient little bell hanging at his waist. The Chaos Bell seemed to understand him perfectly, echoing Taiyi's words from afar.
“Indeed, this is more suitable than any magical treasure for protection.” Fuxi stood holding the zither. This zither was not his birth instrument, but one he personally selected, tuned, and made. It grew alongside him and was superior to countless innate zither strings.
"There's a throwing knife inside this gourd. Just wait for the white light to shoot out and envelop the enemy. Once the person is covered by the white light, their primordial spirit in the Niwan Palace will be nailed down and they will be powerless to resist. At this time, you just say 'My darling, please turn around,' and the throwing knife will take the enemy's head." Taiyi introduced his masterpiece to Chang Hao with great interest, and didn't forget to ask Chang Hao's opinion: "No one below the Great Luo Golden Immortal is his match. Isn't it fun?"
Di Jun opened his mouth and then closed it again, looking up at the sky speechlessly. Taiyi said he was going to send his nephew away.
He figured it out: Taiyi was spoiling Chang Hao like a cub. Where did this misplaced paternal affection come from? Once his children were born, he would simply hand them over to Taiyi for care, so that Taiyi wouldn't always side with outsiders.
Chang Hao held the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, which anyone with hands could use, with a complicated expression. He hesitated and said, "I think it would be most appropriate to give this gourd to your unborn nephews." He rarely encountered a match for a Grand Luo Golden Immortal these days. Even if he did, he would simply kill them with a single sword strike. Why would he need to hold onto the gourd and stupidly shout, "My darling, please turn around?"
That would be perfect for a cute little kid to hug a big gourd and adorably call out, "Baby, please turn around!" No need to lift a finger, just a thought is all it takes to take the head of a powerful immortal. What a great weapon for self-defense!
"These brats are reckless. What if they accidentally kill that Great Luo Golden Immortal and cause trouble for no reason? That wouldn't be good." Taiyi remained rational. "My weapon-refining technique is pretty good, isn't it?"
“Not bad, it can be used as a trump card.” Chang Hao affirmed Taiyi, “Just don’t give it to me, save it for your unborn nephew or niece.” He tossed the Immortal-Slaying Gourd back to Taiyi.
Nuwa was about to have a heart attack. "Not bad? Chang Hao, what nonsense are you spouting? Taiyi, you've completely wasted a high-grade innate spiritual treasure." One of the seven great innate gourds, and this is it? What a piece of junk, are you kidding me? "Besides, it contains Primordial Purple Qi, not some junk. Stop pushing it around, is this Primordial Purple Qi going to prick your hands?"
