Primordial Era: Reborn as Zhen Yuanzi, taking control of the underground passage

Chapter 132 Vowing to Kill the Qiankun Daoist

Chapter 132 Vowing to Kill the Qiankun Daoist

He stood up, his aura perfectly balanced and restrained, just as it had been before his seclusion. But deep in his eyes, there was a new decisiveness born from a deep understanding of the essence of things.

It is a clarity that has been refined through a long and painstaking process, and after repeated entanglements with the essence of the treasure, it seems to be able to reflect the most minute knots in the chain of cause and effect.

With a wave of his hand, the layers of restrictions that had been in place for countless years melted away silently, like ice and snow.

With each step, a Daoist aura naturally arose beneath his feet. It was not a violent fluctuation of spatial travel, but a natural extension and connection of the earth's veins. His figure had already moved from the forbidden area where spiritual energy liquefied at the core of the earth's veins to the tranquil main courtyard of Wuzhuang Temple.

Inside the courtyard, the plants and trees are lush and verdant. Benefiting from the auspicious energy fed back by the ancestral veins of Longevity Mountain and the Fire Cloud Cave, the spiritual plants and immortals grow more and more vigorous, their leaves flowing with a shimmering precious light.

The spring water gurgled, its sound clearer than ever before, and a faint, mysterious aura seemed to rise and fall within its source.

The gentle breeze and bright moon are not here; they must have received guidance from the master in his spare time and have each found a quiet place to digest and contemplate their thoughts.

Zhen Yuanzi's divine thought stirred slightly, like mercury spilling onto the ground, or like a spring breeze sweeping across the hills, gently yet without reaching the entire Wanshou Mountain.

Every breath of the mountains, every flow of the earth's veins, and every step of growth of living beings are clearly reflected in the mirror of his heart.

In an instant, he sensed that at the entrance of the Fire Cloud Cave, which was cleverly integrated with the halo of the mountain-protecting array, a unique, peaceful yet fiery Daoist aura was slowly pulsating, like a stable embryonic breath.

The aura of the crimson cloud was deeply hidden within, intertwined with the origin of the cave, as if it had transformed into an eternally burning auspicious cloud, a deep and heavy primordial yellow light.

Clearly, he was at a crucial stage of deeper integration with the Fire Cloud Cave, and had forgotten the passage of time in the outside world.

Zhen Yuanzi stood with his hands behind his back in the courtyard, his gaze calm, yet seemingly piercing through layers of space, looking towards the boundless primordial world, and seeing the potential threats hidden behind the vast chaos and star fields.

As long as the Daoist Qiankun is alive, the Qiankun Cauldron cannot be completely refined. This remains a hidden danger, like a hidden crack on a fine porcelain piece. It may seem harmless, but it could shatter at the most critical moment.

That Daoist Qiankun was transformed from the remnant body of a Chaos Demon God, possessing extraordinary origins, an arrogant nature, and a vengeful spirit.

This time, I suffered such a great loss at my own hands, my physical body was damaged, my primordial spirit was injured, and even the life-and-death treasure that I cultivated together was taken away.

For someone like him, this hatred is irreconcilable and he would never let it go.

I fear that his hatred is like a poisonous fire, burning his heart day and night, and once he recovers, he will make a comeback.

Now that he has fled far away with serious injuries and is barely clinging to life, he is at his weakest and most vulnerable.

The great changes of the primordial world are about to occur, and the shadow of the Dragon-Han First Calamity has quietly loomed over the world. If only he could use some of the hidden inheritances of the Chaos Demon God to heal his injuries and restore his vitality.

Even under this pressure, they broke through and rose again, turning misfortune into blessing and achieving breakthroughs.

Then it will return, carrying boundless resentment, shifting from the light to the shadows, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, waiting for its chance to strike.

Although Zhen Yuanzi himself was not afraid, there were many beings in the Wanshou Mountain lineage, including the Emperor, Zhenwu, the Four Spirits, the Nine Spirits, and even Qingfeng and Mingyue.

And this foundational dojo, painstakingly built up with the Earth Book, Ginseng Fruit, and Fiery Cloud Cave, may face unpredictable threats. He cannot place his hopes on the enemy's mercy or forgetfulness.

"The struggle for the Great Way allows no mercy. Once the cause and effect are established, they must be resolved."

A clear and ruthless thought, like a Daoist chant forged through countless trials, resounded deep within Zhen Yuanzi's mind, extinguishing the last vestige of any subtle hesitation that might have existed regarding "annihilation."

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!

This is not cruel, but one of the unchanging laws of survival in the primordial world, the most direct manifestation of the law of the jungle and the cycle of cause and effect.

To harbor even the slightest illusion of mercy towards the enemy is to be extremely cruel to oneself, one's subordinates, and the future of one's path.

This is not a fondness for killing, but rather the necessary iron-fisted approach to the way of protection.

He decided to wait for Hongyun to emerge from seclusion.

Hongyun is now a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, with a solid foundation and considerable strength.

Furthermore, having gained initial control over a top-tier cave heaven like Fire Cloud Cave, one can mobilize a portion of its power to enhance oneself, inevitably making one's offensive and defensive methods more diverse and unpredictable.

The two joined forces, their minds in perfect harmony, following the mysterious and unbreakable connection between the Qiankun Cauldron and the Qiankun Daoist.

Searching for it in the vast and boundless wilderness is not impossible. With two against one, and the opponent in low condition with a damaged magic weapon, the odds of victory are extremely high.

If this move succeeds, it will not only eliminate future troubles and remove a huge variable and threat from the future calamity, but also completely seize and refine the Qiankun Cauldron, a supreme innate treasure!

The Qiankun Cauldron contains a portion of the origin of heaven and earth, possessing the ability to refine all things and reverse the innate state. It is useful for refining magical treasures, evolving chaos, and dealing with the great trends of the primordial world in the future.

Even comprehending the transcendent path of the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal would be of immeasurable benefit. This is no longer simply about revenge; it is a crucial step concerning the future of one's cultivation.

With his mind made up and his grand plan in place, Zhen Yuanzi was no longer impatient. He knew that the way of cultivation required a balance of tension and relaxation, and that going too far was as bad as not going far enough.

Hongyun's current seclusion to comprehend the mysteries of the Fire Cloud Cave is crucial for his own advancement in cultivation. Forcibly interrupting it might cause him to miss this opportunity, which would be counterproductive.

It would only take a little longer, which is just a fleeting moment for a Primordial Golden Immortal. He could use this rare period of peace to further solidify his perfected mid-stage Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

To completely tame the surging power, making it as easy to control as one's own arm;

At the same time, they gained a deeper understanding of the various wondrous uses of the Southern Flame Banner, especially its ability to "confuse Yin and Yang."

The ability to "reverse the five elements" can be flexibly applied in actual combat;

He continued to develop his self-created supreme divine power, "Earth Reincarnation," attempting to incorporate his newly acquired true meaning of the fire element and his understanding of chaos, making it even more powerful and unpredictable.

Thus, Zhen Yuanzi would sometimes sit quietly under the canopy of the Four Symbols Banana Tree, his breathing synchronized with the earth's veins, his spirit wandering through the vast emptiness, experiencing the wonders of the birth, death, and evolution of the chaotic phantom within his body.

Sometimes he would slowly survey the vast territory of Longevity Mountain, and if he saw any blockages in the earth's veins, he would gently straighten them out. If he saw any difficulties in the cultivation of living beings, he would offer some guidance, thus silently consolidating the foundation of the mountain sect.

Sometimes, he would explain the subtle changes of the Imperial Dragon Qi and the Way of Guarding the Earth to the emperors and Zhenwu who came to seek his advice after a short period of seclusion.

He appeared leisurely, like a free spirit, but in reality, a strand of his divine sense was always kept close at hand, like the most intricate spider silk, gently yet tenaciously maintaining his focus on the entrance to the Fire Cloud Cave and the damaged Qiankun Cauldron suspended in the quiet room.

He was waiting, waiting for the Daoist energy of the Fire Cloud Cave to reach its full potential, waiting for the moment when Hongyun would emerge from seclusion.

Like an ancient divine beast lurking deep in the endless mountains and forests, it has concealed all its claws and aura.

Only those eyes, which have seen through eternity, burn with a cold flame beneath their calm surface, patiently waiting for the perfect moment to strike, ready to deliver a fatal blow to their prey.

Once Hongyun emerges from seclusion, it will be the time of Qiankun Daoist's demise!
