Finally, the two said no more, staring straight at Yuan Zhexian, waiting for him to speak.
At this moment, when Yuan Zhexian heard the ancestor and the distant ancestor praising him so highly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Then he slowly said, "Ancestor, distant ancestor, I have already met Hongjun."
Yuanshi and Yuantong exchanged a glance. They were not surprised that Yuan Zhexian had met Hongjun, because they had long known that Yuan Zhexian and Hongjun would come into contact sooner or later.
However, they did not know exactly what Yuan Zhe Xian and Hong Jun had discussed, so they were all eager to know the result.
Yuan Shi hurriedly asked, "How did he say?"
Yuan Zhexian composed himself and began to recount his conversation with Hongjun in detail.
Yuanshi and Yuantong listened intently, and as Yuan Zhexian recounted his story, joy gradually appeared on their faces.
After Yuan Zhe Xian finished speaking, Yuan Shi couldn't help but exclaim, "So, in order to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, Hong Jun was actually willing to be an enemy of the Heavenly Dao!"
Yuan Tong chimed in, "Yes, Hongjun is one of the three thousand demon gods."
"Now he has even reached the first level of the Dao Realm, making him an unparalleled powerhouse."
"With his intelligence, he must have a very clear understanding of the current situation."
"In that case, it shouldn't be too difficult for us to obtain the Chaos Pearl in the future."
Just then, Yuan Zhexian slowly spoke up, saying, "Regarding the Chaos Pearl, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the next immeasurable calamity ends."
"Only after completely erasing the Heavenly Dao and helping Hongjun escape can we have a clear outcome."
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Zhexian changed the subject.
He continued, "The most crucial task at present is to re-condense the Pangu Axe and that trace of the Great Dao power."
After a slight pause, Yuan Zhexian continued, "Currently, I have mastered three innate flags: the Eastern Azure Lotus Flag, the Western Plain Cloud Flag, and the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Flag."
"Now, all that's missing is the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner in the hands of the Ancestor and the Southern Lidi Flame Light Banner in the hands of Laozi."
"Not only that, but the white lotus and the red lotus are also in my hands among the lotus platforms formed from the five lotus seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shi and Yuan Tong exchanged a glance and instantly understood Yuan Zhe Xian's intention.
Without the slightest hesitation, the two of them simultaneously swung their arms.
In an instant, a dazzling light flashed, and a banner, a sword, a flag, and a jade streaked across the sky like shooting stars, hovering steadily in mid-air.
That banner was none other than the legendary innate treasure—the Pangu Banner. The terrifying aura it emitted was enough to awe anyone who beheld it.
That sword was the Qingping Sword in Yuan Tong's hand. This sword was transformed from the Creation Lotus, and its blade shimmered with emerald light, as if it contained endless vitality.
That flag was naturally the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag. Its colors were bright and eye-catching, and as the flag fluttered, it seemed as if a mysterious power was flowing through it.
That jade was none other than the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in Yuanshi's hands, which was also transformed from the Creation Lotus. The jade ruyi was crystal clear and emitted a warm luster.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian did not hesitate to store the four treasures into his sea of consciousness.
Then he said, "Now, all that's missing is the Taiji Diagram in my hand, the Southern Flame Banner, and the Taiyi Whisk."
"And the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit in the hands of the Guide, as well as the long-lost God-Slaying Spear and the World-Destroying Black Lotus."
Upon hearing Yuan Zhexian's words, Yuan Shi and Yuan Tong immediately showed expressions of confusion.
Yuan Tong was the first to speak, asking, "What happened?"
"Didn't that old guy Yuan Gu give you these things?"
Upon hearing Yuan Tong's words, Yuan Zhexian also showed a puzzled expression. He looked at Yuan Tong and slowly shook his head.
Just then, Yuanshi interjected, "Your ancient ancestor's identity in the primordial world was Luo Hou!"
"The God-Slaying Spear and the World-Destroying Black Lotus are both with him."
"Didn't that old man mention this to you?"
"Didn't I give you those things?"
At this point, Yuanshi and Yuantong both frowned.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian was so astonished that he could not close his mouth.
"What?"
"The ancient ancestor was actually Luo Hou?"
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian had no extra time to be surprised.
A moment later, the image of returning to the primordial world flashed through his mind.
At that time, the ancient ancestor gave him a lot of treasures, but he didn't examine them carefully at all.
At that moment, Yuan Zhexian also unhesitatingly immersed his consciousness into his sea of consciousness, concentrating on examining the items bestowed by the ancient ancestor.
After a brief observation, Yuan Zhexian indeed discovered two remarkable treasures in his sea of consciousness:
A long spear, entirely silver-white, gleaming with endless killing intent.
And a black lotus exuding an aura of destruction.
Those were the God-Slaying Spear and the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus.
Upon discovering these two treasures, Yuan Zhexian felt a surge of joy.
However, his joy did not last long, because he soon realized that obtaining the Taiji Diagram, the Southern Flame Banner, and the Taiyi Whisk would be extremely difficult.
Yuan Zhexian felt he had the ability to solve the problem regarding the Twelve-Rank Merit Golden Lotus.
But the thought of Lao Tzu caused him great distress.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhexian immediately turned his gaze to Yuanshi and asked, "Ancestor, distant ancestor, I have always been troubled by how to obtain the treasure in Laozi's hands."
"What insightful opinions do you two have?"
Yuanshi slowly spoke, "Laozi, as the transformation of Pangu's primordial spirit, possesses the merit of creating the world and is also the leader of the Human Sect. His status and strength are extraordinary."
"Even if Lao Tzu followed the Way of Non-Action, it was impossible for him to ignore it and peacefully cultivate his own Way."
"He has multiple identities, and if one of them leads to the extinction of humanity or the annihilation of all living beings..."
"Not only will it completely shatter his Dao heart, but the merits he has accumulated over the years will also vanish like smoke."
"It's even possible that it will be completely annihilated and perish."
"Therefore, I think you can definitely start from here and look for solutions to the problem."
“Yuantong and I will suddenly appear at the crucial moment and tell him everything in detail.”
“Once he learns the truth, I believe he will understand the reasoning behind it and make the right choice.”
Upon hearing what Yuanshi Tianzun said, Yuan Zhexian seemed to have suddenly found the key to the problem and immediately nodded in agreement: "Ancestor, I already know what to do."
"In that case, I'll go check on Laozi's side first."
Yuanshi Tianzun and Yuantong both nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from Yuan Zhexian's body, and he vanished into the space of the Source Seal of All Beings like lightning.
