Chapter 392: Chapter 278: The Fall of Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi’s Speculation_2

After all, the Hongmeng Purple Qi is not only effective for living beings but also has a significant effect on Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Unfortunately, no matter how much the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd tried, it could not capture the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Perhaps influenced by the Red Cloud True Spirit and the Residual Soul, the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd did not persist.

Everyone immediately saw the Hongmeng Purple Qi floating in front of the spatial rift, their hearts throbbing with uncontrollable excitement.

They each deployed their methods, suppressing the energy produced by Red Cloud’s self-destruction, trying to approach the Hongmeng Purple Qi as quickly as possible.

Daoist Ming He and East King reacted afterwards, doing the same, and despite their injuries, they had a great advantage.

The two of them were the closest living beings to Daoist Hong Yun.

Everyone cooperatively suppressed the energy from Daoist Hong Yun’s self-destruction; Primordial Heaven and Earth were also rapidly repairing the spatial rift.

Mount Sumeru.

Zhun Ti Saint looked at Jie Yin Saint, the smile in their eyes almost impossible to hide.

The ever-present compassionate expression on Jie Yin Saint’s face disappeared for once, revealing a complete smile.

They were not focused on the Hongmeng Purple Qi; what concerned them was Daoist Hong Yun.

“Finally, it’s over.”

Zhun Ti Saint said with a sigh of relief.

Having resolved this matter, Zhun Ti Saint felt a sense of relaxation, the tremendous cause and effect finally dissipated.

Jie Yin Saint put his palms together and said in a low voice, “Daoist Hong Yun, the cause and effect between you and my brother and me have been resolved.”

He could feel that the greatest cause and effect surrounding him had vanished.

In fact, the method Zhun Ti Saint and Jie Yin Saint wanted to use to resolve the cause and effect was not just this; they could also have helped Daoist Hong Yun become a Saint.

However, both felt that this proposal was inappropriate and thus did not suggest it.

One reason was Zhun Ti Saint and Jie Yin Saint occupied two Saintly thrones, originating from Daoist Hong Yun.

Therefore, even if they helped Daoist Hong Yun achieve sainthood, there would be insufficient compensation, needing other methods of repayment.

By the time Daoist Hong Yun became a Saint, settling the cause and effect between Saints would be incredibly difficult.

Recall how difficult it was for Zhun Ti Saint and Jie Yin Saint to deal with the cause and effect with Emperor Jun when they were newly born.

The second reason is that becoming a Saint is not a simple matter; even if Daoist Hong Yun had the Hongmeng Purple Qi and the full support of both Zhun Ti and Jie Yin Saints, it was not certain he could become a Saint.

Moreover, after Jie Yin Saint and Zhun Ti Saint became Saints, they gained a deeper understanding and insight into the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

It can be said that Daoist Hong Yun’s chances of becoming a Saint relying on the Hongmeng Purple Qi were not high.

As for not relying on the Hongmeng Purple Qi to become a Saint, apart from Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, no one else has done so.

If they chose this method to settle the cause and effect with Daoist Hong Yun, the two Saints’ energy might be completely entangled with Daoist Hong Yun.

If they did so, who would sort out the Earth veins? Who would rejuvenate the Western Primordial? Who would fulfill the forty-eight great vows they had made?

Now that Hong Yun has fallen, Zhun Ti Saint and Jie Yin Saint naturally need not disturb the fate of Longevity Mountain anymore.

What could Subhuti do even if he found out now?

Everything was already too late.

The moment Jie Yin Saint and Zhun Ti Saint stopped disturbing fate, Subhuti, who was seated under the Ginseng Fruit Tree, suddenly felt a palpitation.

Without any hesitation, the Earth Book appeared in his hand, and he began calculating the situation of Daoist Hong Yun.

In his view, the only thing that could have caused his own palpitations was Daoist Hong Yun, whom he had just parted with a short while ago.

Due to the ties of cause and effect, he quickly learned of the outcome.

Daoist Hong Yun had fallen.

Subhuti, who had deduced the outcome, was first stunned, then anger surged through his chest.

It was all for the Hongmeng Purple Qi; why had Daoist Hong Yun fallen because of it?

His mind conjured up the figures one by one: East King, Demon Master Kun Peng, Daoist Ming He, the old ancestors of the Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin clans…

All these beings had shown a covetous heart for the Hongmeng Purple Qi in Daoist Hong Yun’s hands several times before.

It was certain that Daoist Hong Yun’s demise must be related to these beings.

Zhen Yuanzi thought of this and stood up, intending to avenge his friend Daoist Hong Yun.

However, he quickly calmed down.

Who could he, at present, possibly kill in retribution?

Zhen Yuanzi sat back down under the Ginsengfruit Tree, pondering this question.

He realized that avenging Daoist Hong Yun was not something that could be rushed.

He had barely suppressed the raging fury within his chest, yet a sense of sorrow welled up from the depths of his heart and enveloped him.

The Ginsengfruit Tree seemed to sense his mood, lightly swaying its branches.

He couldn’t help thinking: I had long anticipated that Daoist Hong Yun would encounter danger upon entering the Primordial Heaven and Earth, but I did not expect it to happen so swiftly.

To perish and have his Dao vanished without a warning.

Perhaps I should have stopped him when he left Wuzhuang Temple.

In his sorrow, Zhen Yuanzi couldn’t help but be overcome with a sense of regret once more.

But he knew that even if he wanted to stop Daoist Hong Yun from leaving Wuzhuang Temple, he might not have been able to do so.

He did try to persuade him to stay, but unfortunately, Daoist Hong Yun had made up his mind, as if he had found his own path.

Suddenly, a terrifying thought flashed through Zhen Yuanzi’s mind.

He realized something that filled him with dread.

Given his relationship with Daoist Hong Yun, any crisis that befell the Daoist would naturally provoke a reaction due to their karmic ties.

Although he could not feel the imminent danger Daoist Hong Yun was facing, the emergence of emotions such as restlessness and an inability to remain calm would undoubtedly occur.

However, he had not experienced this kind of emotion before.

Only when Daoist Hong Yun suddenly met his demise did the palpitations start.

Zhen Yuanzi instantly sensed something wrong; this sense of palpitations had come without a warning, and it was abrupt.

Realizing this, Zhen Yuanzi’s face turned frighteningly somber.

He once again activated the Earth Book to investigate the Heavenly Dao, but found nothing.

After all, from the moment Zhunti Saint and Jieyin Saint started to act, they had already sought to conceal themselves, a concealment among Saints of equal standing.

For Zhen Yuanzi, a Quasi-Saint, to attempt to detect their traces was nothing short of a fool’s dream.

Zhen Yuanzi’s expression didn’t soften due to the lack of any trace; rather, it grew even more somber.

Not finding anything was the most terrifying outcome.

He was very confident that even if all the Quasi-Saint beings and Primordial Golden Immortal beings he could think of joined forces, he would still be able to find traces, at least signs of interference with the Heavenly Dao.

Even if the several Quasi-Saint beings of the Demon Clan were involved, he was confident in finding a slight trail of disruption in the Heavenly Dao.

After all, Quasi-Saint beings could not achieve perfection against beings of similar realms.

But this time, it was too clean.

He could not find a single trace in the Heavenly Dao, let alone any disturbances to it.

Under these circumstances, he could easily guess that it was one of that several who had taken action.

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, Emperor Jun, these two beings who had reached the ranks of Saints, could even suppress Saints.

The Three Pure Ones, the two Saints from the Western realm, and Nuwa Saint—six beings who became Saints through the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Only if one of these eight were to act would Zhen Yuanzi acknowledge his inability to find any traces.

Although he was confident, he understood the vast gap between himself and the Saints.

Having realized this, Zhen Yuanzi was filled with dread; he hadn’t anticipated that the matter concerning Daoist Hong Yun would involve the intervention of a Saint.

He was certain a Saint had intervened, but which one specifically, Zhen Yuanzi had no clue.

Without the faintest trace, speculation was futile.

After all, recalling Daoist Hong Yun, he seemed not to have offended any of the Saints.

Zhen Yuanzi buried this matter deep in his heart; involving a Saint, this was not something he had the strength to handle now.
