The Primordial Mosquito Dao Chronicle
Chapter 45 Red Cloud Crisis
The Netherworld Blood Sea, on Xiaoyao Island.
After the Mosquito Taoist finished his sermon, he noticed that his disciples' magical power had increased. However, seeing that they were still comprehending, he didn't disturb them further and simply stood up and left. He figured that after they woke up, they could return to their seclusion for a while, and their cultivation would increase even further. He had high hopes for his five disciples' aptitude.
Just then, Styx rushed over and said, "Brother, more and more people are gathering near the Wuzhuang Temple in the West. My good corpse just sent me news. It seems that there is something unusual happening at Wuzhuang Temple, and in recent years, many powerful people have been heading there. There are no fewer than dozens of Quasi-Saints."
Mosquito Daoist was startled, not expecting so many people to gather there. The number of Quasi-Saints in the Primordial World was not something one could simply ask for. Most were those who had listened to lectures in the Purple Cloud Palace; apart from them, very few in the Primordial World possessed the methods to achieve Quasi-Sainthood.
During Hongjun's final sermon, most people received treasures. While not all three corpses were severed, many likely severed even one, numbering in the dozens at this point. It's expected that more will follow in time; the opportunity to become a saint is not something everyone can resist the temptation, and even those who can are few and far between.
"Second brother, take all the Blood God Seeds and go observe the situation nearby. I'll go to Wuzhuang Temple to take a look. I think the formations outside won't be of much use to my current cultivation level."
Mosquito Daoist pondered for a moment and said that he had already comprehended six levels of the laws of space. Ordinary people were truly helpless against him unless Hongjun intervened. Otherwise, in the current prehistoric world, with the Three Pure Ones not yet having become saints, probably no one could rival him.
Styx had no objections after hearing this, and the two then discussed the details further before going to make their own preparations.
In an unnamed cave on Mount Buzhou.
Inside the cave sat two figures. One had eagle eyes and a sharp beak, and wore a black robe. The other wore coarse linen clothes and, although he appeared more amiable, a sinister glint always lingered in his eyes. These two were Kunpeng and the man in coarse linen clothes.
At this moment, Kunpeng said, "I didn't expect that your cave dwelling would be inside Buzhou Mountain, and so hidden. If you hadn't brought me here, it would have been difficult to find. I'm afraid even your brother Qingyi might not know about it."
Upon hearing this, Ma Yi remained silent, simply saying, "Now is not the time to discuss these matters. Let's think about how to plan for the Primordial Purple Qi. But let's be clear: there is only one source of Purple Qi. How will it be distributed?"
"We two can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that whoever obtains the Primordial Purple Qi will protect the other in the future. We are both people destined for great things, and we must not make enemies over the matter of the Purple Qi."
However, even if one obtains it, it doesn't guarantee becoming a sage. Look at the seven people from back then—not one of them has grasped its essence yet. Besides, whether the two of us can succeed is another matter entirely.
Kunpeng is now in high spirits. Back at the Treasure Dividing Rock, he obtained several top-grade innate spiritual treasures. In the past three thousand years, he has also severed his three corpses and his cultivation has reached the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm. He doesn't take those who offended him seriously anymore, and his tone of voice has become quite arrogant.
Inside another hidden cave on Mount Buzhou.
This is the Daoist temple of Nuwa and Fuxi, where they are currently discussing this matter. Although Nuwa already possesses a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi, her brother does not. She also has some interest in Hongyun's wisp of Purple Qi. Although she dislikes fighting, she wants to obtain it so that Fuxi can achieve the Great Dao in the future.
Actually, it's not just Nuwa. In the present prehistoric world, everyone with some ability is plotting against it. Even the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti are coveting this item.
They just haven't shown it as obviously as others. If they really have the chance to make a move, they probably wouldn't mind kicking someone when they're down. Who would complain about having too many treasures, especially something that can help someone become a saint?
Wuzhuang Temple.
Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi sat facing each other. Hongyun was somewhat excited at this moment, and his usual carefree and unrestrained manner was no longer present. He said, "Old friend, I want to go into seclusion again to see if I can gain anything. I am really unwilling to give up. This is the foundation of the Great Dao. If I give it up for nothing, I am afraid I will never have the chance to reach the Great Dao in this lifetime."
Zhen Yuanzi thought for a moment. Although he had said it before, it was normal for Hongyun to be a little excited when the time came. So he could only comfort her and said, "Alright, things have developed to this point, so it doesn't matter if it takes a little more time. I still have many questions about the Dao of Laws. I'll take this opportunity to study it. You can call me when I come out of seclusion."
Hongyun watched Zhen Yuanzi's departing figure with a complex expression, finally letting out a helpless sigh. In truth, he didn't actually want to go into seclusion to further his cultivation; he simply didn't want to implicate Zhen Yuanzi.
Hongyun had many friends in the primordial world, but only Zhen Yuanzi was truly a confidant. It was already quite kind of others not to covet his Primordial Purple Qi, let alone the fact that Zhen Yuanzi had helped him. How could he possibly let his old friend get involved in this turmoil?
After regaining his senses, he looked outside, then his figure flashed and he left Wuzhuang Temple.
"Attention everyone, Hongyun has emerged!" As soon as Hongyun appeared, those on guard outside noticed a spatial fluctuation and immediately shouted. Many people then sent messages to their respective factions.
Hongyun had barely left Wuzhuang Temple when he was discovered. Hearing the shout, he glanced around and saw thirty or forty quasi-saint level experts, but he believed there were many more hiding in the shadows. Before anyone could react, he transformed into a red cloud and drifted westward.
No wonder, although the Wuzhuang Temple is not an impregnable fortress now, it is still under surveillance from all sides.
Hongyun, being the first crimson cloud in the world, possessed the laws of clouds and wind, yet he hadn't grasped even a fraction of them. Normally, he might have been able to escape, but now there were many faster than him, and after running over a hundred miles, he was caught by one of them.
Upon arriving, this person immediately blocked Hongyun's path, refusing to fight. He knew he was only at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint realm. Although his movement speed was significantly faster than his opponent's, he was no match for him in a real fight.
Seeing that the other party was blocking him without saying a word, Hongyun knew exactly what they were thinking, but still asked calmly, "Fellow Daoist, why are you stopping me?"
As soon as Hongyun finished asking her question, the others caught up one after another, with only a few breaths separating them.
Just then, a person with the cultivation of a mid-stage Quasi-Saint stepped forward and said, "Hongyun, let's be frank. You should hand over the Primordial Purple Qi. It's not something you can possess. If you hand it over, we all guarantee that you will leave."
Hongyun's expression darkened upon hearing this. Even with his good temper, he was angered by the other party's words. He had never seen anyone so shameless.
"Handing it over isn't impossible, but if I give it to you, what will happen to the others?"
