Singular Sword to Multitude

Chapter 343 Hongjun's Grand Design

After Ancestral Dragon left the Primordial World, he thought that since Jieyin and Zhunti had already betrayed the Primordial World, and he was unfamiliar with the place, why not seek refuge with them? After all, they were all from the Primordial World, and the two of them were Saints. Seeking refuge with the Western Sect would also provide him with support!

With this thought, Ancestral Dragon set off towards the Indonesian continent!

On Mount Ling, in the Indonesian continent, after Hongjun and Luohu finished lecturing the others, they left in anger!

Zhunti and Guide looked displeased. Watching the crowd of saints, they sighed. They had to admit that the weak were weak for a reason. They had angered Luohu and Hongjun to no end. Zhunti even suspected if these people's sainthood was innate, otherwise, with such comprehension, they could become saints? They might as well go to sleep!

As soon as Hongjun returned to his and Luohu's residence, he flew into a rage, "These pigs have truly angered me to death! Jieyin actually expected them to gain some enlightenment from the Dao sound. With their comprehension, even if we lectured them ten or a hundred times, it would be in vain!"

"My brain must be malfunctioning to have agreed to Jieyin's request to lecture them. These pigs are going to be the death of me!"

Luohu, seeing the enraged Hongjun, quickly comforted him, "Alright, alright. We only promised Jieyin that we would lecture them. If you don't like it, we simply won't lecture next time. Lecturing once is the same as lecturing three or five times. Even if Jieyin returns, he won't have anything to say!"

Hongjun casually threw things around the residence. Seeing this, Luohu had to speak up to attract Hongjun's attention, "By the way, before we returned last time, we fought with the Three Pure Ones. We didn't even have time to go to your Zixiao Palace. Why don't we go there and move it over? It's not a good idea to keep living at Jieyin and Zhunti's place!"

Upon hearing Luohu mention their return to the Primordial World last time, Hongjun suddenly recalled his recent encounter with the Heavenly Dao. He realized that the Heavenly Dao had become significantly stronger, and he even felt that the Heavenly Dao had been holding back. He wondered if it was just his imagination.

Hongjun voiced his doubts. Luohu furrowed his brow and said softly, "Impossible, right? You almost killed Qi, and almost took his position. He would still hold back? Impossible, right?"

Hearing this, Hongjun also felt it was unlikely and must be his imagination. Then, Hongjun's eyes narrowed, and he said fiercely, "The Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World is getting stronger and stronger, and the Primordial World will naturally become stronger. I'll scheme against it!"

Luohu looked at Hongjun curiously and said with a slight smile, "We are not in the Primordial World now, how can we scheme against it? Are you asking me to go and assassinate him?"

Hongjun rolled his eyes at Luohu, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Seize power!"

"Seize power?" Luohu raised an eyebrow, looking at Hongjun and saying,

"How do you plan to seize his power? His power is given by the Great Dao. Are you going to confront the Great Dao directly? We are not that powerful yet!"

Hongjun glared at Luohu impatiently and said, "I'm not tired of living to dare to provoke the Great Dao. We'll go back to the Primordial World, and I have my own arrangements!"

"But if we both return to the Primordial World, wouldn't the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World discover us? Plus, those three scoundrels, the Three Pure Ones, it won't be easy to deal with!"

Hongjun shook his head and said, "The Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World is definitely not in the Primordial World right now. Besides, with the fragment of the Jade Disc of Fortune in hand, even if he is in the Primordial World, he may not be able to discover us!"

Seeing Hongjun's confident expression, Luohu asked doubtfully, "How do you know the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World is not in the Primordial World? He is the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, where could he go if not in the Primordial World?"

Hongjun smiled and said slowly, "Have you forgotten that I once coexisted with it? If there's anyone in this world who knows it best, it must be me. I spent a long time studying it back then to deal with it! It must be looking for the Heavenly Daos of these continents that are gestating."

Luohu suddenly realized that the external continents indeed seemed to be devoid of any Heavenly Dao's presence!

Luohu looked at Hongjun doubtfully and asked, "You mean these external continents also have Heavenly Daos? But why can't we feel them?"

Hongjun sighed regretfully, "It's a pity I didn't succeed back then. Otherwise, the appearance of these continents would have allowed me to enter the Great Celestial Venerable realm!"

After lamenting, Hongjun explained to Luohu, "These continents don't lack Heavenly Daos; it's just that their Heavenly Daos are still gestating. Only the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, being a fellow Heavenly Dao, can find them. Others are powerless. If the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World devours all these gestating Heavenly Daos, it can become the Heavenly Dao of this world, and not just the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World!"

"If I had succeeded back then, all of this would have been mine! It's all thanks to those three shit-stirring sticks, the Three Pure Ones, who ruined my Dao fruit, causing me to lose such an opportunity that I haven't encountered in millions of years!"

After speaking, Hongjun glared resentfully in the direction of Kunlun. The thought of losing such a great opportunity because of the Three Pure Ones made Hongjun wish he could grind them into ashes!

Luohu didn't understand what these things meant to Hongjun, but just the position of Great Celestial Venerable alone made Luohu know it was not simple!

Luohu looked at Hongjun and asked, "What are you going to do then?"

Hongjun sneered and said, "What I cannot obtain, the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World also dares to dream of obtaining. You and I will immediately return to the Primordial World. As long as we get back to my Zixiao Palace, I will make the Heavenly Dao try to steal a chicken only to lose the rice!"

Luohu nodded slightly, "Alright. Since we're going back, should we call Zhunti along?"

Hongjun immediately shook his head, "Although the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World is not in the Primordial World, Taishang is still there. Taishang is too cunning. I can only ensure that you and I are not detected by Taishang. If Zhunti is with us, then it's uncertain! Besides, Jieyin is in the chaos, and Zhunti would never rashly leave Mount Ling!"

Luohu nodded gently, agreeing with Hongjun's reasoning, "Then when will we go? Do we need to prepare..."

"We go now, the sooner the better!" Hongjun interrupted Luohu before he could finish speaking!

Luohu shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile, "Do we have to be in such a hurry?"

Hongjun snorted coldly and said unhappily, "Being able to make the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World and the Three Pure Ones uncomfortable makes me feel utterly delighted!"

After speaking, Hongjun pulled Luohu and went to find Zhunti. After informing Zhunti, the two of them left Mount Ling!

When Zhunti heard that the two of them were going to cause trouble for the Three Pure Ones and the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, he was extremely pleased. If Jieyin were not absent, Zhunti would have gone with them!

After leaving Mount Ling, Hongjun and Luohu did not go to the Primordial World but headed towards the chaos where Zixiao Palace was located!

When the two arrived at Zixiao Palace, Haotian and Yaochi were still guarding it drowsily. Hongjun was surprised to see them. He never expected that after so many years of his absence, Haotian and Yaochi would still be guarding Zixiao Palace. Hongjun had assumed they had gone to the Primordial World to become ancestors and founders!

Seeing them, Hongjun suddenly had a better idea. He said, "Haotian! Yaochi!"

Haotian and Yaochi heard someone calling them and looked up to see Hongjun and Luohu. They were extremely excited to see Hongjun!

"Master! You've finally returned. Do you know? You were away for so many years, and there were rumors that you had perished at the hands of the Three Pure Ones. We two never believed it and waited here desperately for your return!"

Hongjun was surprised that the two young attendants he had casually enlightened were so loyal. Hearing them say he died at the hands of the Three Pure Ones, he immediately explained,

"After Master left, I went to travel in the chaos, but I was delayed for a long time and only returned now!"

Luohu glanced at Hongjun, who was not blushing and his heart was not skipping a beat, and secretly smiled. Hongjun, who was clearly driven away, shamelessly claimed to have traveled in the chaos!

However, Hongjun was now his subordinate, so there was no need to expose him. Luohu remained silent.

Hongjun invited Haotian and Yaochi into Zixiao Palace and closed the main gate.

Hongjun looked at Haotian and Yaochi and said, "Considering you have guarded Zixiao Palace for so long, Master will bestow upon you two a great fortune!"

Haotian and Yaochi's eyes lit up, and they immediately asked, "Master, what fortune?"

Hongjun looked at them with a profound expression and slowly said, "I intend for you two to be the rulers of this Primordial World! Are you willing?"

Haotian still regarded Hongjun as the foremost Saint of the Primordial World back then, the teacher of all saints. Moreover, seeing Luohu behind Hongjun, Haotian was even more ecstatic. He knew that Hongjun and Luohu were enemies, but they didn't look like enemies and seemed to have a good relationship. Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Haotian was overjoyed!

"Haotian is willing to follow Master's arrangements!"

Hongjun nodded gently and looked at Yaochi.

"Yaochi, what about you?"

Yaochi, unlike Haotian's joy, looked at Hongjun with some concern.

"Master, there are many Saints in the Primordial World. Will they allow Haotian and me to become the rulers of this Primordial World?"

Hongjun looked at Yaochi with admiration. Haotian, hearing Yaochi's words, immediately said, "Sister Yaochi, why are you worried about that? Don't we have Master?"

Hongjun nodded and continued along Haotian's line of reasoning, "Yes, Yaochi, everything will be handled by me. This matter is settled. You just need to do as I say later!"

Hearing this, Yaochi could only nod gently and agree.

Seeing this, Hongjun smiled and nodded, then said, "I will perform a secret technique to summon the Great Dao here. Once the Great Dao arrives, you two will immediately make a Great Dao oath, saying that you are willing to establish the Heavenly Court at the former site of the Demon Court, divide the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and coordinate the operation of Heaven and Earth. Do you understand?"

Haotian immediately nodded and said, "Master, rest assured, your disciple will do as you say!"

Hongjun nodded and immediately began to cast his magic to summon the Great Dao, who had already retired.

Luohu looked at Hongjun with some surprise. He didn't know that Hongjun had a way to contact the Great Dao. He had to admit that Hongjun had learned a lot from coexisting with the Heavenly Dao for a period of time.

As Hongjun performed his actions, after a while, Luohu felt a sense of ancientness. Luohu narrowed his eyes, knowing it was the aura of the Great Dao. Hongjun could indeed make the Great Dao intervene!

Seeing this, Haotian immediately said, "Great Dao above, I am Haotian. Today, I am willing to establish the Heavenly Court at the former site of the Demon Court, divide the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and I am willing to be the Lord of the Heavenly Court forever. I implore the Great Dao to fulfill my wish!"

As soon as Haotian finished speaking, a grand voice echoed through the void, "Granted!"

On Kunlun Mountain, everyone suddenly heard the Great Dao oath made by Haotian and was stunned. After recalling for a while, they remembered that Haotian was just a mere attendant of Hongjun!

Tongtian, upon hearing that the Great Dao had granted it, immediately roared, "Big Brother, that Haotian is just an attendant of Hongjun. Who gave him the courage to be the Lord of Heaven and Earth? And the Great Dao actually agreed?"

Yuanshi nodded slightly and said, "Haotian doesn't have the courage. I fear that Hongjun is behind him. I didn't expect that after the battle in the chaos, he has returned!"

Seeing Haotian make the Great Dao oath, Hongjun burst into laughter. He was just trying it out, and it actually worked!

"Haotian, Yaochi, now that you are the Lords of the Heavenly Court, how can the Heavenly Court be empty? Go to Kunlun Mountain. You will find the people you need there!"

After speaking, Hongjun glanced at Zixiao Palace, then with a sweep of his robe, he formed a hand seal, and Zixiao Palace rose from the ground, shrinking and entering Hongjun's robe!

After completing everything, Hongjun looked at Luohu and said softly, "Let's go!"

Haotian and Yaochi's faces changed drastically when they heard Hongjun was leaving. They immediately said, "Master, where are you going? What will happen to us when you leave?"

Hongjun laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry. Now that you two are the Heavenly Lords recognized by the Great Dao, the Saints would not dare to attack you, otherwise, they would not be able to withstand the wrath of the Great Dao! Go to Kunlun and ask the Three Pure Ones for people to establish the Heavenly Court!"

After speaking, Hongjun and Luohu disappeared from their spot!

After Hongjun left, Yaochi looked at Haotian awkwardly and said, "Brother Haotian, what should we do?"

Haotian immediately said, "Sister, don't worry. Since Master asked us to go to Kunlun to ask for people, let's go to Kunlun then. Otherwise, if it's just the two of us in the Heavenly Court, it will only exist in name!"

After speaking, Haotian and Yaochi left the chaos and headed towards Kunlun in the Primordial World!

On Kunlun Mountain, everyone was still immersed in the audacity of Haotian when suddenly a voice came, "Haotian and Yaochi have come to visit the Three Pure Ones!"

Taishang's brow furrowed. He turned to look at Tongtian and Yuanshi. Tongtian snorted coldly and said unhappily,

"Hmph, they are quite bold. They just established the Heavenly Court and came all the way to our Kunlun Mountain!"

Yuanshi was also very displeased with their actions. Only Taishang spoke gently and ordered, "The visitors are guests. Chen'er, go and escort them into the mountain!"

Qi Chen nodded and walked outside.

Yuanfeng saw this and immediately said, "Since the three of you have other important matters, I shall take my leave. Thank you for your hospitality, the three masters!"

Taishang chuckled and said, "You're too kind. Your three children are all on my Kunlun. We are all family from now on, so there's no need to be so polite!"
