Chapter 21 Helping Hongyun Owe Some Karma
"Huh? What are these ancestral witches up to?"
Why are you interrupting me when I'm just saying something?
Kunpeng was internally cursing, but dared not make a move.
After all, he was in front of thirteen powerful ancestral witches.
He's basically just a little bird. If he angers the Ancestral Witches and they roast and eat him, that would be troublesome!
Just as Hongyun was wondering why Kunpeng seemed to want to speak but then stopped,
A clear thought struck his and Zhen Yuanzi's consciousness like a small hammer:
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun! Wake up!"
Do you think that futon is like an egg on sale at the supermarket?
You think you can just give in like that?!
You're not just giving up a seat, you're giving up your future!
Can you bear the immense consequences?
Do you really believe Zhunti and Jieyin when they complain about being poor?
Do you think they're people who can't afford to eat?
If they were truly poor, could they have cultivated themselves to this level?!
"And Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi!"
Don't just grab Fellow Daoist Hongyun's robe, just hold him down!
If you do anything stupid again, just knock me out and drag me away!
Go home for further education!
This barrage of news caught Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi off guard.
Moreover, this method of transmitting thoughts is simple and direct, carrying the straightforwardness and disappointment of the Wu tribe.
It was precisely because Apocalypse intended to help people to the very end that...
The 'private messages' I sent to them.
Hongyun, on the other side, was startled by the barrage of questions.
The phrases "future fate" and "enormous karma" were particularly disheartening, like a bucket of cold water being poured over one's head.
His overflowing sympathy was instantly frozen back.
After a moment's thought, he realized what was going on:
"Yeah, this thing really shouldn't be allowed!"
"Giving way also incurs karmic consequences."
Even if you don't allow it, you will still be tainted by karma!
There's nothing else we can do, we have to accept it!
Zhen Yuanzi was also stunned for a moment.
I was amazed by the style of this telepathic communication.
"Why does this guy not sound like a local?!"
But after being reminded, Zhen Yuanzi immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed in his heart:
"That makes perfect sense!"
Immediately, Zhen Yuanzi stopped secretly pulling at Hongyun and instead reached out his large hand to firmly press down on Hongyun's shoulder.
The force was so great that it almost pressed Hongyun into the prayer mat!
He turned his head at the same time, his gaze sharp as lightning, warily sweeping over the two Westerners and the Kunpeng that had suddenly cowered.
His attitude was clearly stated on his face:
"Anyone who dares to fool my brother again will have to try!"
"Even if it means getting tainted by karma, I'll raze your mountain to the ground!"
Both Zhunti and Jieyin were stunned by this scene.
"It's about to be done, so why is Kunpeng suddenly acting like a quail?"
How did Hongyun suddenly wake up?
And there's also the protective Zhen Yuanzi?
What about my brother and I putting on such a great performance?!
Don't we have any pride?!
Zhunti's tears were still on his face, and his sobbing was frozen in place, making him look extremely embarrassed.
The person who was guiding the way looked even more miserable, as if they had really lost a hundred million.
The two exchanged a glance, knowing that today's grand performance for Hongyun was destined to be a flop.
They had no choice but to give up, feeling rather disappointed.
But the fleeting resentment in their eyes as they looked at Hongyun's retreating figure was unmistakable.
I made a firm note of Hongyun.
Of course, they also paid more attention to that kid who inexplicably caused trouble.
Although they were unwilling to confront the Ancestral Witches head-on, they were still confident that they could deal with a junior in secret!
After all, in their understanding, there were only twelve Ancestral Witches.
That reveals the truth about the Revelation.
The Great Shaman who acts on behalf of the Ancestral Shamans!
Tianqi saw that Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi had regained their senses.
So he stopped sending "private messages" and started to think things through:
"Since we've already been entangled in karma, the merit is definitely gone!"
"Then we need to find a way to bring Hongyun, that kind old man, over here. It's too unsafe for him to stay at Wuzhuang Temple; he'll be swindled by those two Western 'creditors' sooner or later."
"Zhen Yuanzi is also a very honest person."
Moreover, the Earth Book is a valuable resource; it will definitely be useful in the future.
"Buy one get one free, but you'll lose some good karma."
This was a good deal!
Having lived a life of poverty for so long, Tianqi was used to the idea that one dollar was worth two.
We definitely can't do things that lose money!
In any case, cause and effect are important in the primordial world. Now that we've helped Hongyun, he has no choice but to repay the debt of cause and effect!
As for whether it will cause trouble.
Apocalypse felt nothing; he even felt a little amused.
As long as the ancestral witches don't do anything reckless, given their inherent merit in creating the world and the immeasurable merit they've gained from the Heavenly Dao, they can rely on their power.
With the added advantage of Apocalypse, the Ancestral Witches were able to live to the ends of the earth.
Whether individually or as a team, they are strong.
Who dares to mess with them? Who can mess with them?
……
This matter is neither too big nor too small. Apart from this incident, no one else caused any trouble during the break!
On this day, Hongjun appeared in the clouds again and continued his sermon.
Upon seeing this, Tianqi continued to diligently record the Daoist teachings.
After an unknown period of time, Hongjun Daozu stopped his sermon and announced that he would resume preaching the path to sainthood three thousand years later.
The figure slowly disappeared.
The first sermon by Hongjun thus came to an end.
In this sermon, Hongjun recounted his own path before achieving sainthood.
It was not only explained very clearly, but also concise and engaging.
It sounds like something that's easy to cultivate!
Everyone who came to listen to the lecture understood it.
Except for the Ancestral Witches.
Therefore, the others all began to consider switching to the path of Hongjun.
Of course, this doesn't mean completely overturning one's cultivation level and starting all over again.
Instead, they modify and refine existing structures to continue building skyscrapers.
This sermon laid the foundation and general direction for the cultivation practices of later beings in the primordial world.
Spiritual practice is no longer about figuring things out on your own or relying on your own lineage.
This sermon is a good thing.
As for how much benefit Hongjun can gain from this, only he himself knows!
After the sermon ended, the assembled sages seemed to awaken from a dream, each having gained something, and prepared to depart.
The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and others appeared calm, clearly having gained a great deal, and were all looking forward to the next sermon.
The two Westerners looked distressed. Although they had gained something, they hadn't gotten the position they wanted and were still resentful.
Di Jun and Tai Yi's eyes also gleamed, and they too benefited greatly.
Kunpeng glanced gloomily at Hongyun and Tianqi's direction before quickly departing.
The moment Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi finished their sermon, they walked together to the positions of the Ancestral Witches.
He bowed respectfully to Tianqi and the ancestral witches, and then spoke:
"Thank you for your reminder, young friend. I almost messed up something important."
I feel truly ashamed that my young friend has been unjustly implicated in this mess!
Tianqi composed himself, smiled wearily, and said:
"You two are too kind. It was just a small matter; there's no need for such a grand gesture."
Fellow Daoist Hongyun is of pure heart, but still needs to be more cautious.
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book is a unique treasure of the primordial world. If you have some free time, you are welcome to visit the Pangu Hall on Mount Wozhou."
Perhaps our body-refining methods can find some parallels with your Earthly Dao!
He took the initiative to extend goodwill, intending to form a positive connection, and if possible, he would try to abduct someone.
Zhen Yuanzi witnessed the formidable power of the Ancestral Witches, especially their boundless merit and their bizarre "primordial spirit."
Having received a favor, I naturally responded politely:
"Definitely, definitely. I will visit you another day to express my gratitude."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two parted ways.
The other ancestral witches didn't say a word during the process; they just listened quietly.
Their underlings are socializing, not fighting, so they can't be bothered to pay attention!
Seeing that nothing serious had happened, the Ancestral Witches left Zixiao Palace.
As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Gonggong began to complain loudly:
"I'm so frustrated! She's been babbling on and on..."
It's giving me a headache!
I'm never coming here again!
Most of the other ancestral witches also nodded in agreement.
I think it's a complete waste of time.
They were all cultivating themselves during the sermon; they might as well have gone and killed some ferocious beasts!
Tianqi shook his head helplessly.
He smiled slightly, patted his head, and said:
"It's alright, I've already taken what I needed. If the others don't come, they don't have to!"
Originally, Tianqi intended to use the power of immeasurable merit to allow the Ancestral Witches to hear some things about the cultivation of the primordial spirit.
Since it wasn't effective, there was no need for a second sermon.
Anyway, the Ancestral Witches don't cultivate Hongjun's Dao, so it doesn't matter much.
We'll see how strong the calamity's influence is when the Lich Wars arrive.
If it doesn't interfere with the ancestral witches' cultivation...
When the Ancestral Witches attain the Primordial Chaos Realm, even the Heavenly Saints will only be chased and beaten!
Moreover, the path to sainthood that Hongjun was preparing to preach during his second sermon was...
He was quite familiar with it when he read novels in his previous life.
It's best to prepare countermeasures early!
Immediately, the ancestral witches embarked on their journey back to Buzhou Mountain, preparing to summarize their gains and losses.
After all, this is their territory, so there are some things that can't be taken out directly...
