Following that, he turned to Yuan Feng, "I recall, during the ancient times, Daoist Yuan Feng had a profound relationship with the siblings, Fu Xi! Before Daoist fell into Nirvana, you even entrusted them to take care of the Phoenix Clan. Why now would you conspire with Daoist Yang Mei to harm Daoist Fu Xi?"

Yang Mei’s expression remained unchanged, smilingly he said, "To become a Saint, one must undergo many calamities! Moreover, it was the one from Purple Cloud Palace who requested my intervention!"

"Heavenly Dao and Earth Dao both do not wish for Human Dao to rise. Alas, that individual, being one with Heavenly Dao, and his several disciples each having their schemes and not being of one mind with him, left him with no choice but to request my intervention!"

"Moreover, I merely dispatched an incarnation; if Fu Xi can’t even handle my incarnation, how can he be recognized by Human Dao?"

Yuan Feng remained silent, his face a complex gaze fixed on Xuanqing, as "Phoenix True Fire" surged around him, seeming on the verge of annihilating the universe.

"Hong Jun?"

Xuanqing furrowed his brow, he too hadn’t anticipated this affair involved the Daoist Ancestor’s handiwork.

Before his eyes, myriad causes and effects emerged, and with Yang Mei making no attempt to conceal it, he instantly realized that Yang Mei had recently visited Purple Cloud Palace.

Yang Mei’s visit to Purple Cloud Palace was an attempt to probe Hong Jun, but unexpectedly, after exchanging a single move, Yang Mei reached a new agreement with Hong Jun.

Both being reincarnations of Chaos Demon Gods, it wasn’t the first time Yang Mei had collaborated with Hong Jun. Previously, when confronting Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, it was Hong Jun alongside Yang Mei, Yin Yang, and Qian Kun who jointly acted and eventually broke through the "Slaying Immortal Sword Formation".

However, at that time, all of their strengths were merely at the level of Primordial Golden Immortals, and though they ultimately defeated Luo Hou, both Yin Yang and Qian Kun perished.

Yang Mei, utilizing the power of Space Great Dao, barely escaped that calamity and dared not return to the Primordial World.

Not until now, when space and time unified, cutting off the shackles of a Chaos Demon God, and attaining the realm of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, did he dare return to the Primordial World to scheme for the Pangu Tao Fruit.

But...

Having suffered a setback once, Yang Mei should know that Hong Jun is treacherous. Collaborating with such a character, the loss outweighs the gain. Why then would he still cooperate?

Xuanqing was utterly perplexed.

Seeing through Xuanqing’s confusion, Yang Mei smiled and said, "This time, he really spent a fortune, promising to lend me the Creation Jade Disc to ponder over several primal congresses in exchange for my help in suppressing Human Dao!"

Xuanqing fell silent.

Even if it’s a remnant of the "Creation Jade Disc," it remains a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, recording over two thousand great daos—no wonder Yang Mei, Great Immortal, was tempted!

Former Heavenly Dao Saints, either switched allegiance to Earth Dao or harbored ulterior motives. Hong Jun’s status in the Primordial has significantly declined.

However, being one with Heavenly Dao, he can’t easily act himself and can’t openly target Human Dao, thus having Yang Mei act was indeed a good idea.

Furthermore, if Hong Jun dared to use "Creation Jade Disc" as a bargaining chip, had he already comprehended its principles?

Xuanqing couldn’t know.

But his wariness of Hong Jun quietly escalated to another level.

Of course, Yang Mei definitely had his own schemes.

Otherwise, with just a casual inquiry, why would Yang Mei openly speak the truth and expose Hong Jun’s intentions of suppressing Human Dao to him?

"This is indeed troublesome!"

Kunpeng’s eyebrows slightly knitted. As one of the three thousand guests in the Purple Cloud Palace, he was well aware of the Daoist Ancestor’s methods and knew his own disparity with him. Even if he himself became a Saint, he would never be a match for Hong Jun.

If Hong Jun was oppressing Human Dao, then as a Human Dao Saint, he would undoubtedly be the prime target, possibly falling into his schemes at any moment.

Xuanqing then looked at Yang Mei, rhetorically asking, "Daoist, since you’ve reached an agreement with Hong Jun, why then reveal your plans to me?"

Hearing this, Yang Mei’s face revealed a hint of playful smile, "I merely agreed to help him suppress the power of Human Dao, but I never agreed to keep the secrets between us!"

Clearly, although Yang Mei agreed with Hong Jun, he definitely had his own reservations. The threat Hong Jun posed to him was far greater than that from Human Dao.

"So that’s it!"

Xuanqing instantly showed a look of realization.

Frankly, at their level, there was no longer a distinction between good and bad people; that was merely a nominal concept for the beings of the Primordial.

Otherwise, why else would the Primordial Saints, including those Great Divine Power wielders, originally enter the Demon Realm in incarnate forms to collaborate with the infamous Luo Hou?

Hong Jun wasn’t exactly a bad person, but being one with Heavenly Dao and pursuing his own Dao, he indeed obstructed the paths of other Saints!

According to Xuanqing’s conjecture, once Hong Jun’s integration with Dao culminates, he will completely control Heavenly Dao. At that time, the Saints whose Primordial Spirits are reliant on Heavenly Dao could either become puppets or choose to detach from Heavenly Dao!

And Hong Jun, suppressing Human Dao, was merely to expedite the perfection of Heavenly Dao!

The Great Dao counts fifty, the evolution forty-nine, fleeing the remanent one, with that escaped "one" in existence, Heavenly Dao, in theory, can never achieve Perfection.

Unless...

That escaped "one" is eliminated!

Pangu evolved Heaven, Earth, and Human Dao, just to attest the existence of "one", but no one knows when that escaped "one" will emerge?

In Hong Jun’s view, instead of forcibly pursuing a perfect count, it’s better to sever the possibility of "one" emerging, then Heavenly Dao can naturally achieve Perfection earlier!

Of course, this was just Xuanqing’s speculation.

Heavenly Dao continuously corrected the great trends, as if searching for that variable and eradicating it, thereby enabling Heavenly Dao to reach complete Perfection.
