"Deng Can Yu laughed in her consciousness, and if one listens to her laughter, it seems she's not really happy: 'Hahaha, brother, you joked. I just broke through the Dao Realm, and what use do I have for this Hong Meng Zi Qi? Do I want to enjoy a lifetime of worry and anxiety that lasts for billions of years?'"
Zhenyuanzi scrutinized Deng Chanyu, who was engaged in battle with Di Jiang, for two close looks. Are you a Daoluo Jin Xian? Please forgive my poor eyesight; I really can't tell!
Zhenyuanzi said in his spiritual awareness, "Xuan Du is superficial and has not grasped the essence of the Taiqing Saint. Cutting the two ghosts might be possible, but cutting the three ghosts is absolutely impossible. If the Hongmeng Zi Qi is given to him, it won't be a gift but a curse."
Deng Chanyu used a space storm to repel the blood spirit who was being counted in millions and turned into a blood mist. After blocking the Dragon's Cane of Taian Grandmother with the Northern Xuan Yuan Controlling Water Banner, she then trapped the unlucky Jinling Grandmother in a story space.
She asked with a calm and composed manner, "How about the Multi-Treasure Taoist of the Jie Sect?"
"The Multi-Treasure Taoist's heart is too heavy, and he lacks mercy and benevolence. If he were to obtain the Hongmeng Zi Qi, it might not be the blessing of all life in the Honghuang World."
In her spiritual awareness, Deng Chanyu referred to Duobao. In reality, she also encountered Duobao. Within a blink of an eye, they exchanged ten moves. The Dual Spirit Sword and the Zhuxian Sword clashed, sending them both flying for ten thousand miles. A black aura appeared on Deng Chanyu's wrist, and three bright sword scars appeared on Duobao's robe. The Zhuxian Sword had the upper hand.
She flicked her wrist, burning away all the black aura, and continued, "Then leave it to the Great Celestial Sovereign. As the ruler of the three realms, if brother hands over the Hongmeng Purple Qi to him, he will give you a fair compensation, both for public and private reasons."
Zhenyuanzi did not respond again, and in fact, he had already had the intention to retreat. He hasn't figured out the mystery of the Hongmeng Zi Qi for ten thousand years, which means that he and this thing are not meant to be. Red clouds have been given as gifts is a rational explanation when making sense of things, but now that many quasi-saints don't want to make sense of things.
He talked conditions with Hao Ti, Xuan Dou, and Duobao in turn, asking them to hand over their opportunity for sainthood to the younger generation. In the end, it was difficult for him to accept it, and he chose Hao Ti as suggested by Deng Chanyu.
Firstly, Hao Ti is the supreme deity of the three realms, and there is a relationship with Dao An. Moreover, he also wants to see what kind of situation Hao Ti will be in when he becomes the target of everyone's arrows.
Zhenyuanzi did not use his spiritual awareness to send a message again, but instead, he loudly declared in the chaos, "Red Cloud friend, my blessings are insufficient, and I am not worthy of possessing the supreme treasure. Your gift today will be passed on to the Great Celestial Sovereign!"
He forcefully suppressed the last trace of reluctance in his heart, closed his eyes slightly, and wrapped the Hongmeng Zi Qi in his hand with a thick layer of Earth-type spiritual energy. Then he quickly threw it towards Hao Ti.
Hao Ti cursed silently in his heart, "Why can't you hand it to me when you're closer? You have to throw it from so far away? Did you do it on purpose?"
While consoling Zhenyuanzi and promising many benefits, he simultaneously repelled Duobao and Jinling who blocked him. In Di Jiang and Luo Xie's astonished gaze, he used the "Rainbow Transformation" technique to go and retrieve the unclaimed Hongmeng Zi Qi.
"Di Jun's demon art?!" Hao Ti's emperor's crown robe and the rainbow light transformed rapidly in Di Jiang's eyes, appearing to merge with Di Jun, the celestial emperor of the demon race. His eyes turned red, and the deep-seated hatred ingrained in his blood surged up instantly, completely forgetting about the existence of the Chaos Bell. In a flash, he began to jump through space.
Deng Chanyu seemed shocked and frightened, completely forgetting the existence of the Chaos Bell. She allowed Di Jiang to complete the spatial jump and punched Hao Ti with all her might. Although there was Hao Ti Tower's protection, her father-in-law did not suffer much injury. However, he still stepped back from the rainbow light and flew out for tens of thousands of miles before tumbling tens of thousands of miles away.
Niowu Wangmu did not want to arouse Hao Ti's fear, so she refrained from fighting with him. At this moment, the situation changed abruptly, and she was slow to react when she made her next move.
Xuan Dou Great Master decisively opened the Taijiquan diagram, and the yinyang fish slowly rotated. In the dynamic and static between them, the profound power of the innate treasure was almost covering the entire battlefield.
On the dynamic side, the Hongmeng Zi Qi rushed towards the Taijiquan diagram at 100 times its original speed. On the slow side, the actions of all quasi-saints slowed down by a whole beat.
The appearance of the Taijiquan diagram gave Xuan Dou near-complete control over the battlefield. The fruits of victory were about to be gathered, and even the second-generation chief apprentice, who usually did not compete or grab for things, showed a bright, glowing expression of joy on his face.
Suddenly, the red lotus of the twelve artifacts of Minghe Laozu burst into endless flames. One of the leaves turned into ashes and burnt out, reducing its grade from twelve to eleven.
The significant drop in the artifact's grade was exchanged for the breakthrough of the Taijiquan restriction by the lotus throne, and the red lotus' flame also boosted Minghe Laozu's speed to its peak.
The normally gloomy Taoist now shone with red light, and his face seemed to be dyed with blood.
When the Hongmeng Zi Qi was still a hundred zhang away from the Taijiquan, Minghe burst out from the side, and within an instant, he seized the Hongmeng Zi Qi. Afterward, without pausing for a moment, he did not return to the Hongsan but flew towards the depths of Chaos instead.
"Halt!"
"How dare you, demon!"
"It enraged me!"
The many quasi-saints present were so angry they were almost crazy. Hao Ti led the chase, while the Queen Mother of the West found this detour to be truly a pain, but she had to follow along as well.
Minghe was incredibly cunning. During his flight, he first consumed the earth energy that Zhenyuanzi had placed on the surface of the Hongmeng Zi Qi, and then activated the spiritual power of the blood spirit. He transformed from one to two, and then from two to four, ultimately forming a dense crowd of one hundred Minghe. They fled in different directions.
All one hundred Minghe were made up of blood spirits, so they were all real. As for which Minghe had the Hongmeng Zi Qi, only he knew.
Hao Ti was extremely angry and took out the Hao Tian mirror to observe, but after looking for a while, he couldn't spot any flaw.
"Brother, let us split up. I'll pursue the one sitting on the lotus throne and those two with the reddest faces."
"Alright, then I'll go after the one with the Aobi Sword and those two with somewhat dirty Taoist robes."
Minghe can use the blood spirit to perform the great dharma of division, but his treasure cannot. For quasi-saints, whether it's a genuine or fake treasure is easily distinguishable with a single glance.
As for the blood spirit carrying a treasure, whether it is Minghe's intentional ruse or simply "anticipating your anticipation," it is possible that either scenario could be true.
Hao Ti and the Queen Mother of the West were both seeking to kill two people. They, along with their own clones created by the technique of cutting bodies into pieces, could only track six targets. The six percent chance was low, but in this situation, there was no other choice.
Zhenyuanzi, the Red Eldest Son, and Kong Xuan also joined the pursuit.
Zhenyuanzi, who had previously been the prey, is now becoming the hunter. He also wants to try the 3% chance, as long as his luck is good, maybe the Hongmeng Zi Qi will return.
Chase!
The Red Eldest Son and Kong Xuan were simply there to watch the fun. Everyone was chasing, and if you didn't, it would look like you had something to hide.
Deng Chanyu was also following the crowd, ignoring the resonance within the Hongmeng Zi Qi and choosing an incorrect target, relentlessly pursuing it.
The Phoenix on the Heavenly Wu Teng Tree of Nvhuang Palace opened its eyes, not taking the form of a human, but directly using the form of a Phoenix to plunge into Chaos. The target she was chasing was none other than Minghe, who had the Hongmeng Zi Qi on him.
