The goddess Nuwa had spent a quarter of an hour to realize that this piece of the creation jade tablet was abnormal. The primordial supreme lord Yuan Shijie had comparable attainments to Nuwa, and before all the saints, their understanding of the creation jade tablet was even less than that of Hao Tian. He hadn't noticed anything wrong before, and never expected things to turn out like this.
He saw the six disciples of Buddhism trying to forcibly convert Guang Chengzi, and it pained him deeply inside while he watched. Yet, as Hongjun remained silent, he dared not leave and could only waste time here.
Although Tongtian Patriarch had a deep grudge against his second brother, he could not act rashly in the Purple Star Palace.
He hummed lightly to express his dissatisfaction, then sat next to Yuan Shijie, shoulder to shoulder.
There's no other choice, this is the position of the six stools from the past. He wants to stay away from Yuan Shijie, but he dares not argue in front of Hongjun.
Yuan Shijie and Tongtian were engaging in a conversation of "What are you looking at?" and "What are you going to do about it?" Their brotherly bond was evident.
Hongjun completely ignored them both, calculating the current situation in his own mind.
In the past, he discarded some of the creation jade tablet fragments that did not conform to the Honghuang Dao, believing that his choice was correct. However, Honghuang is evolving forward, and what was unsuitable in the past does not necessarily mean it is unsuitable now.
This fragment, by chance, returned to Honghuang, and he considered it a revelation from the heavens.
True perfection is not suitable for the Honghuang world, but 9 is different from 9.9; being infinitely close to perfection may be more suitable for the Honghuang world of today.
Guang Chengzi displayed his supreme might, continuously bombarding the Bodhi Array with the divine light from the creation jade tablet fragments. With each attack, Hongjun's vision of the Three Thousand Paths and the entire Honghuang world would change billions of times.
The foundations of the external teachings and the Honghuang's Three Thousand Paths constantly collided. The Daozu deliberately tolerated this, experimenting and trying to extract some more divine paths from the external teachings back into the Honghuang. To put it crudely, it was like trying to fish gold out of shit.
Yuan Shijie occasionally observes the lower realm. He has confidence in Guang Chengzi's abilities, but the current situation is one against six, with six Buddhist disciples fighting and using arrays at the beginning. That's too shameful!
Guang Chengzi's cultivation foundation drives the creation jade tablet fragment to severely insufficient. Currently, he is wasting resources and competing with the six disciples. This kind of thing, that is using a little less.
How could he not be anxious?
Watching Guang Chengzi's wisdom being forcibly elevated by Bodhi Form, he was deeply concerned and tormented. The battle of the soul was often more cruel than physical combat. One wrong move could lead to a total defeat. He didn't know how long Guang Chengzi could hold out, and several times he wanted to plead with Hongjun for mercy.
He spent a cup of tea's time in internal struggle, and then he made up his mind, gritting his teeth to say, "Teacher, Guang Chengzi is young and lacks experience, with an unstable temperament. He deserves severe punishment. However, it is also due to my inadequate teaching as his master. All the blame should be shouldered by me."
Hongjun raised one hand and stared at him without showing any emotion, indicating that he didn't want to hear any excuses. Yuan Shijue's words were directly swallowed back and he dared not ask for a favor again.
He knew very well that in Hongjun's eyes, what Guang Chengzi was, what the moonlight was, and even Buddhism were all of little consequence. All of these things combined would not match the importance of what he was doing now.
The Buddhism is extinguished, and Luo Huo is freed? It's just a matter of extinction. Just establish a new sect. What a big deal is that?
Call Yuan Shijue and Tongtian here, so as not to let them create more trouble outside of the situation.
Tongtian Patriarch flashed a triumphant smile at his beloved younger brother. It was only in the Purple Star Palace that he could express his joy. Otherwise, he would roar with laughter. "You have your day too?!"
As Yuan Shijue and Tongtian Patriarch glared at each other, performing the "kill you with my eyes" routine, Nuwa arrived at thePurple Star Palace with Deng Chanyu.
Yushui and Shangching immediately suspended their battle, turning to face forward as if the previous rivalry had never occurred.
The disunity between the three sages has reached a point where everyone knows about it, but they still don't want to be seen as a laughingstock by their fellow sages.
In general, it's a mindset of not caring about ants, but it's intolerable to be mocked by neighbors.
Deng Chanyu didn't know why she was summoned and followed over in a confused state, seeing the tense atmosphere. She silently bowed to Yushui and Shangching, the two sages, and then sat behind Nüwa, acting as a good little girl.
Nüwa used her skill of eating melons to observe Yushui and Shangching, the two sages, who both had a sulky expression. If it wasn't for the inappropriate environment, she would have laughed out loud.
Before she had finished eating the melon of others, suddenly, Hongjun extended his hand to her.
Nuwa's smile froze for a moment, and she asked curiously, "Teacher, what is this?"
Hongjun also remained silent, just reaching out his hand. Nuwa had no choice but to produce the chaotic bell, whose repair progress was almost seventy percent completed.
The Chaos Bell?!
Tongtian Patriarch's eyes widened in disbelief. "The Chaos Bell?! It was originally destroyed by Taiyi's self-destruction after being swallowed by the Chaos!" He immediately turned to Yuan Shijue. "The Chaos Bell and the Creation Jade Tablet Fragment. Amazing! What kind of things have you obtained from the Chaos? What else are you keeping from me?"
In the Purple Star Palace, the heavenly prophecy completely belonged to Hongjun. Even gods could not use divination here, let alone saints. He could only imagine that all the saints had kept him in the dark, and then secretly retrieved the Chaos Bell from the Chaos realm.
Yuan Shijue knew his own affairs and had no connection with the Chaos Bell. If Nuwa hadn't shown it today, he would have been in the dark as well.
He glanced at Deng Chanyu, thinking deeply and guessing that it was one of the supreme treasures obtained from the Bifeng Rock.
He looked at Tongtian Patriarch with a hint of mockery in his eyes. "Your foolish disciple, Zhu Bao, is still meditating in front of the Bifeng Rock on Lingshan and has no idea that the treasures have been taken away long ago."
You two master and disciple are sheer idiots!
Tongtian Patriarch is merely outgoing in character, not actually foolish.
Although he could not divine, after a few thoughts, he understood the cause and effect of the situation. Once he thought it through, Yuan Shijue's mocking eyes couldn't be endured, and his fist in his robe tightened. He would definitely punch Yuan Shijue's old face when the opportunity arose.
Yuan Shijue was contemptuous, Tongtian was enraged, and Nuwa was frustrated. The moods of the three sages differed greatly. Deng Chanyu, a minor character, had no say in the matter. Hongjun didn't care about their thoughts and continued his calculations of the external path. When he reached a critical point in his calculations, he would strike the Chaos Bell to use its ability to suppress space and prevent the external path from destroying the foundation of Honghuang.
He may have made things easier, but the fragmentation of the Chaos Bell deepened once more. The cracks on the bell's surface, which had been repaired to about seventy percent, were now visible to the naked eye and began to multiply.
"Good tools make good work." The importance of a good tool cannot be overstated. Hongjun himself can suppress space, which is nothing more than a thought for him. However, even a thought is a thought, and at his level, every time he moves his mind, whether for good or evil, it is a form of unseen harm to Honghuang. Using tools makes things easier.
