Chapter 51: Did Hongyun Die?
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Indeed, Hongyun did not aim to kill anyone by enabling the tactical formation. From the beginning, his aim was to explode the Red Cloud Formation. The power of the Red Cloud Formation was shocking. After disturbing the tactical formation, he would catch the tide to explode the whole Formation. The power and damage were so formidable that the tactical formation couldn’t compare with.
After the astonishing explosion, the Untainted Land shook. Hongyun in the center of the tactical formation was doomed to die. Meanwhile, he exploded the tactical formation and made a self explode. Since he was caged with no hope of escape, it was better for him to take some of them down on his deathbed. The power of his cultivation was at the level of a Sage-to-be, so it shocked the Heaven and Earth. Adding to the power produced by exploding the tactical formation, it was impossible for anyone to survive.
These people deserved it. Even if Hongyun was an honest man in the Untainted Land, no one could be more dreadful than him when he was desperate and ruthless. Hongyun’s self explode had drawn many people into the Formation with no hope of survival.
The remnants of the explosion dispersed. All the things and people between Heaven and Earth were in disarray. There were a few hundred figures in the sky, most of whom were at the level of Sage-to-be. Although the power of Hongyun’s self explode and Formation was tremendous, no masters at the level of Sage-to-be died among the thousands of Individual Cultivators died. It just left them disheveled.
However, those Individual Cultivators at the level of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals were different. Only hundreds of people were still alive, most were at the Late Stage and peak level of the Daluo Golden Immortals. Those surviving Individual Cultivators at the Early Stage and Secondary Stage of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals were few.
Many of the surviving Individual Cultivators ground their teeth with hatred. As the saying goes, you cannot beat a fox to provoke a show. This was appropriate to satirize them. They didn’t even see the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, but were unexpectedly defrauded by Hongyun, causing the death of thousands of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.
Wild Wind Ancestor looked at the whole mess and burst into anger. He said, “Hongyun, you were an asshole. You wanted so many cultivators to be buried with you when you died. Right? Where was the Hong Meng Immortal Qi?” Wild Wind Ancestor in the tactical formation naturally felt Hongyun’s self explode. Now that Hongyun died, where was the Hong Meng Immortal Qi?
Wild Wind Ancestor’s snarl subdued the rest of the Individual Cultivators. They all started to look for the Hong Meng Immortal Qi. But they found nothing, even after searching for a long time. Was it possible that the Hong Meng Immortal Qi had been destroyed? Not quite. It was the Foundation of the Great Way and not easy to be destroyed.
When finding the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, they didn’t realize that the Evil Spirit between the Heaven and Earth became so thick that it had reached a critical value. The vital force of the Cultivation Tribulation in the Untainted Land was thicker. Supposedly soon, the Cultivation Tribulation would break out thoroughly.
Thousands of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals and one Sage-to-be had died before the fight between the Wu and Demon Tribes, which definitely caused the Evil Spirit between the Heaven and Earth to increase greatly. Fortunately, just one Sage-to-be died. If there were one or two more, Supposedly the Cultivation Tribulation of this time would break out thoroughly.
Having searched for a long time, the people, including Wild Wind Ancestor, found nothing but some damaged Spiritual Treasure debris. It seemed that the Hong Meng Immortal Qi had disappeared completely and didn’t leave any trace or vital force.
In desperation, all the people had no choice but to leave. Hongyun had died and the Hong Meng Immortal Qi had disappeared. There was no use for them staying there. They had wasted the time of thousands of years to wait for Hongyun to come out. However, thousands of Individual Cultivators died because of Hongyun who had disappeared along with the Hong Meng Immortal Qi. How could they not be depressed after such a result?
Zhenyuanzi who was in the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple naturally perceived Hongyun’s astonishing explosion. After hearing Hongyun’s message, he let out a cry of sorrow. “Hongyun, my friend! Why did you do this? We were so congenial. I was completely not afraid of death.” He said it with a mixture of sorrow and anger, making the Heaven and Earth moved.
Looking at the direction of Hongyun’s self explode, the eyes of Zhenyuanzi were filled with Menace Intent. He swore secretly. “Hongyun, you might rest assured. I would never let those people that murdered you go. Blood for blood. I would use their deaths as the sacrifice for your soul. I wished you all the way best.”
Zhenyuanzi was as same as Hongyun in personality. Both of them were mild and warm-hearted. They didn’t like the combat. However, when they were cornered, what they did insanely was not weaker than the fierce people. Hongyun killed thousands of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals with one action and buried them with himself. In order to take revenge for Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi intended to use the death of tens of Sages-to-be to sacrifice for Hongyun, which was crazy.
Although 10,000 kilometers far away from there, Zhenyuanzi had reached the Realm of Sage-to-be and could easily feel the vital force of those Sage-to-be Individual Cultivators and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Individual Cultivators via Spiritual Thoughts. Zhenyuanzi knew he had no chance and did not have the strength to kill those people at present. But as soon as they separated, Zhenyuanzi would have a chance.
And Zhenyuanzi had a moment of enlightenment in the Way of the Three Separations during his Closed Door Meditation. The Evil Separation would be separated. With his cultivation breakthrough the late stage of Sage-to-be and the help of the Good Separation and Evil Separation, the strength of Zhenyuanzi naturally increased. After all, Zhenyuanzi didn’t like those Individual Cultivators. He not only possessed an Eternal Spiritual Treasure but also found several Primordial Spiritual Treasures in the Treasure Gifting Rock.
Zhenyuanzi’s Good Separation was separated through a Top Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure. And the Primordial Spiritual Treasure used to separate the Evil Separation was also at Top Grade. Thus, his Good Separation and Evil Separation’s cultivation was better than ordinary people. They were at least at the Secondary Stage of the Sage-to-be. Adding to his cultivation at the Late Stage of Sage-to-be after he broke through, it was difficult for people to live under his sneak attack.
Resentfully looking at the direction where those Individual Cultivators left, Zhenyuanzi flicked his wide sleeve and got into his meditation abode directly to separate the Evil Separation. It was easier to separate than before because of his vengeful intent. Soon Zhenyuanzi would breakthrough the Late Stage and became one of the most advanced cultivators in the Untainted Land.
Hongyun died with vigor and vitality. All living beings of Untainted Land felt a sense of awe. And those top cultivators who thought of the plan to kill Hongyun felt regret at not taking action earlier. They should not have waited and given him time to make such preparations. Otherwise, the Hong Meng Immortal Qi would not have disappeared.
Of course, they also cursed Hongyun. The people who could reach the Realm of Sage-to-be had great perseverance and wisdom. What all the people wanted from the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, the Foundation of the Great Way, was the immortality that would come after becoming the Sage, just as Ancestor Hongjun had said.
Unexpectedly, Hongyun, an honest man in the Untainted Land was a crazy man. He would rather die than surrender the Hong Meng Immortal Qi. The man died, he had lost everything. Now that Hongyun had died, the Hong Meng Immortal Qi was gone. The only chance to be the Sage for them disappeared, making them unwilling.
On the Sacred Island of Blood Sea, Minghe’s mood was especially nice upon seeing that the White Lotus of Purity had grown up gradually. Over thousands of years, the White Lotus of Purity had grown up to be a six-grade lotus. And the impetus for growth never reduced. At this speed, this White Lotus of Purity at least became a nine-grade lotus. And it would be more beneficial to the Red Lotus of Fire.
As to the movement outside the Untainted Land, Minghe never stopped paying attention to it. Hongyun’s appearance didn’t escape from his eyes. Only he never expected this result. He had never thought that Hongyun was such a relentless person that he would actually kill thousands of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. It could be considered a significant feat.
Just looking at the direction of the Untainted Land, Minghe had a glimmer of a smile on his face. Who said that the honest man can be bullied? If the honest man could make a determined effort, he would be more dreadful than others. Hongyun! Hongyun! It seemed that the whole of the Untainted Land didn’t comprehend you. But as for the Hong Meng Immortal Qi you owned, I really wanted to make friends with you.
Minghe was not surprised at the sharp increase of the Evil Spirit. All the things were under his control. Now, that the Cultivation Tribulation was like a powder keg and the leg wire had been burned slowly, Hongyun’s astonishing explosion was like a gust of wind, accelerating the burning. The explosion had been at the fingertips.
The Untainted Land’s storm was brewing. Minghe also needed to take action. Looking at the direction of the Untainted Land, Minghe soliloquized. “The Cultivation Tribulation is coming. I must also take action. Hong Meng Immortal Qi, I must obtain you. No one can stop me. All of the people blocking me must die.”
With the “Die” word coming out, Minghe’s killing intent rose into Heaven. The killing intent gathered into a lotus and scattered all around Minghe. The horrific intent was world-shaking and no living beings could get close to him. Gathering killing intent into a lotus was a sign of success of the Law of Killing that Minghe cultivated.
