Chapter 956 Hongjun's Answers: An Extraordinary Guidance!
Seeing this, Laozi Yuanshi's expression changed drastically.
no doubt.
Their attempts to dissuade him did not change the mind of the Chaos Ancestor.
He even intended to forcibly break through the space of Zixiao Palace in front of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and return directly to chaos!
"Senior, please wait!"
Taiqing Laozi shouted urgently, his flat cane slammed down, and he was about to make a move to stop him.
However, the figure of the Chaos Ancestor had completely transformed into a stream of chaotic light that merged into the void.
The difference in strength meant that Lao Tzu's methods were completely ineffective against the Chaos Ancestor.
Only a cold and indifferent sentence remained, echoing for a long time in the empty Zixiao Palace.
"Hongjun, you'd better watch yourself."
The Purple Cloud Palace was deathly silent.
The words of the Chaos Ancestor, "You'd better watch yourself," still echoed in the empty hall like a curse. Every word was like an invisible slap in the face of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Supreme Pure One.
The face of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, which was already purplish-red from anger, was now even more pale and ashen, looking extremely ugly.
The celestial light emanating from the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi around him became chaotic, clearly indicating that his Dao heart was turbulent and on the verge of spiraling out of control.
Taiqing Laozi gripped his flat cane tightly, and even the eternally unchanging Daoist principle of non-action now showed visible cracks.
a long time.
Taiqing Laozi could no longer maintain his transcendence. He raised his head, his tired eyes filled with an undisguised resentment, and looked at the figure at the highest point.
"Master."
His voice was somewhat hoarse, and his eyes held a deep sense of bewilderment.
"Are we just going to stand by and watch Senior Chaos leave?"
Lao Tzu asked this question.
He didn't understand why Hongjun Daozu hadn't intervened to stop Chaos Ancestor, but instead allowed him to leave so easily!
Not just Lao Tzu.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanshi turned to look at Hongjun. Although he did not speak, he was also looking forward to Hongjun's response.
However, Hongjun remained calm and unmoved in the face of their questions.
He simply stared in the direction where the Chaos Ancestor had disappeared, showing neither sorrow nor joy.
After a moment, he slowly withdrew his gaze and spoke softly.
"It's alright."
Two words, light as a feather, yet as heavy as a divine mountain, crashed into the hearts of the three saints.
The body of the Primordial Celestial Venerable trembled violently, almost thinking he had misheard.
Is it alright?
The Xuanmen sect has lost a top-tier combatant, yet the master says it's alright?!
Before he could speak, Hongjun Daozu's next words struck the three saints like a thunderbolt.
"Perhaps...this is actually a good thing."
boom!
This sentence completely snapped the taut string in Yuanshi Tianzun's mind!
"Good news?!"
He could no longer suppress his anger and roared out loud. The aura of a saint spread out uncontrollably, making the entire Zixiao Palace buzz.
"Master! With Senior Chaos gone, our Xuanmen is weak and vulnerable! Gu Changqing has already attained the Primordial Chaos Realm, and the Jie Sect's arrogance is overwhelming! With the tides turning against each other, how can we possibly contend with them?! This... this is a good thing?!"
A deep sense of confusion and bewilderment appeared on Taiqing Laozi's face.
Why would the Dao Ancestor say that losing such a powerful and unparalleled ally is a good thing?
Could it be that Master's Dao heart has been thrown into turmoil because of this crushing defeat?
This terrifying thought arose uncontrollably in the minds of Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi simultaneously.
If that's the case, then the so-called Xuanmen (mystical sect) can really be declared disbanded on the spot and cease to exist.
Only the Taoist priest in the corner kept his eyes slightly closed, as if he was oblivious to everything and remained detached from it all.
Faced with the almost out-of-control questioning of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun showed no anger whatsoever.
His eyes, which were in harmony with the Dao, were calm and still as they slowly swept over Yuanshi and Laozi. His deep gaze seemed to pierce through all the fear and unease in their hearts.
“You do not understand the nature of chaos, but I know it very well.”
Hongjun's voice rang out again, unhurried and calming, carrying a reassuring power.
"He is a man who holds grudges and seeks revenge."
"Over the years, how many losses has he suffered at the hands of Gu Changqing? He has suffered repeated setbacks, and even his innate treasure, the Chaos Pearl, has been taken away by Gu Changqing and turned into the foundation for his enlightenment."
"Do you think he would let this humiliation go unpunished?"
Hongjun's words calmed Yuanshi and Laozi down a bit, and they subconsciously began to think along the lines of the Dao Ancestor.
Yes... With the extremely arrogant nature of the Chaos Ancestor, how could he swallow this insult?
Hongjun continued speaking.
"The primordial world is ultimately our home ground. Under the laws of Heaven, his Chaos Dao is restricted everywhere and cannot unleash its full power. This is one of the reasons why he has been repeatedly defeated by Gu Changqing."
"Now, he has seen through this point and returned to chaos... That is the most suitable place for him, his true training ground!"
"Returning to that boundless chaos, he will be like a fish in water, a dragon returning to its abyss. Perhaps, there will be other opportunities and fortunes, and when he returns in the future, his methods and strength will surely far surpass what he has today!"
Hongjun's voice echoed in the Zixiao Palace, each word filled with profound meaning and foresight.
"At that time, will a more powerful Chaos Ancestor who understands Gu Changqing better be a good thing or a bad thing for our Xuanmen?"
The words fell.
Silence fell once again inside the Purple Cloud Palace.
But this time, it wasn't a deathly silence of despair, but a shocking realization!
The rage and fury on Yuanshi's face gradually subsided, replaced by a thoughtful expression.
Yuanshi naturally had no doubt about Hongjun's words.
After all, the former and the Chaos Ancestor were of the same generation, and their mutual understanding naturally surpassed that of these "junior" level saints.
According to Hongjun, his previous statement of "never setting foot in the primordial world again" was nothing more than an angry outburst from the Chaos Ancestor.
What they need to do is wait for the Chaos Ancestor to master even stronger methods before making a powerful comeback.
Beside him, Lao Tzu also looked enlightened.
"I see......"
He muttered something to himself, then bowed and said:
"We have learned a lot and thank you for your guidance, Master."
However, after explaining all this, Hongjun Daozu paid no further attention to Laozi and Yuanshi, who were gradually recovering.
His gaze moved slowly.
Finally, it landed on the other side of the main hall.
There, the Taoist priest was still sitting cross-legged.
A faint yet incredibly pure Buddhist light enveloped him, isolating him from the oppressive and heavy atmosphere around him.
His eyes were slightly closed, his expression solemn and dignified, as if he cared nothing about what had just happened, whether it was the Chaos Ancestor's furious departure or the astonishing conclusion of the Hongjun Dao Ancestor.
He sat there quietly, like an eternal Buddha statue.
Seeing this scene, Hongjun's eyes, which were in harmony with the Heavenly Dao and devoid of sorrow or joy, suddenly... twitched slightly.
