Chapter 776: The Same Shamelessness in the Bones
Li Yuan was slightly disappointed that he did not provoke the anger of the Xiantian Immortal Emperor, but it was not beyond his expectations.
It is not so easy to plot against such an immortal figure. He saw through Li Yuan's method of provoking him at a glance.
"No problem, you left the Three Realms with seven fierce swords, the temptation is too great, Hong Zun has to move."
"The plan is halfway accomplished."
Xuanyuan Jun patted Li Yuan on the shoulder, his face was calm, his eyes were like a deep pool, and his expression was calm.
Hun Yuan risked offending the Emperor of Heaven and secretly sent a message to see Li Yuan. Although he didn't know why, this was a perfect opportunity.
Hong Zun must have sensed that Li Yuan had taken away the three evil swords from the heaven. Now Li Yuan had seven evil swords on him. No matter what the reason was, once he left the Three Realms, Hong Zun would definitely not be able to sit still.
As long as Li Yuan is killed, all seven evil swords will be back in his hands. Then, by forcibly awakening the Wangchen Sword, Hong Zun can directly gather all nine evil swords. The temptation is enormous.
Hong Zun, without the evil sword, is a powerful Dao Zun of the ultimate realm; and once he gathers the nine evil swords, even without the five swords that fill the foundation of the Dao, Hong Zun's combat power is enough to transform to a higher level.
When Xuanyuan Jun first ascended to Dao Zun, he reached the pinnacle, and even though he did not have enough foundation, he was able to fight alone and both were injured, and exiled Hong Zun. It was not only because of his own combat power that exceeded the level, but also because of his 'good luck'.
Hong Zun, who has been lost in the unknown dimension for too long and has not yet fully recovered, will not fight to the death to find the evil sword, but he will never let go of the opportunity once it is available. This is related to Hong Zun's "ecological niche" among the current Taoist emperors.
The current Hong Zun, with only a crimson sword, is weaker than Xiantian Emperor in direct combat. After his return, he has not been in contact with Xiantian Emperor. The "cooperation" with unequal strength will only cause more losses.
But if his nine swords are combined into one, that terrible Forbidden Heavenly Lord will truly return. Although he no longer has the power of the Fourteen Swords of Creation, he can still be on par with the Innate Immortal Emperor and is at the top level among the Dao Lord Emperors.
Li Yuan and Xuanyuan Jun grasped this point and used a blatant conspiracy to lure Hong Zun out of the Three Realms.
They have already declared war on their own initiative. When the final war breaks out, they must not allow such a terrifying opponent to remain in the three realms to threaten innocent lives.
Hong Zun was not stupid either. Of course he could see that Li Yuan was plotting and Xuanyuan Jun might be lying in ambush. However, he had seven evil swords in his possession, including the three evil swords from heaven that he had not even taken back. The temptation was indeed great.
On top of Anshan, Tian Yao secretly rushed back, with a decree from the Underworld Emperor covering his body, so he was not discovered by anyone.
After returning to the mountain, the first thing Tian Yao did was to lecture Wang Shuo. No matter what nonsense his master said, Wang Shuo, as a disciple, could only listen with his head down.
After scolding Wang Shuo, Tian Yao pulled his apprentice, put on a smiling face, and rubbed his hands beside Xuanyuan Jun, laughing, trying to get some benefits from this first generation Human Emperor, who he had never met but looked friendly.
"As the saying goes: people are of the same kind, and relatives are like family! Brother Li Yuan called you Brother Xuanyuan, so as his elder brother, I should also call you Brother!"
"Big Brother, please accept my humble respect!"
Tian Yao plucked a few handfuls of leaves from the Bodhi tree, put most of them in his pocket under the resentful look of Zhuge Laodeng, and made a cup of tea with the remaining Bodhi leaves, which he enthusiastically stuffed into Xuanyuan Jun's hands.
It was not "shy" and held Xuanyuan Jun's hand for a long time, saying all kinds of polite and "touching" words. I would have thought it had found a fellow villager again.
Seeing Xuanyuan Jun looking at him seriously, Tian Yao laughed and avoided him without leaving a trace, and ran directly behind Xuanyuan Jun to rub his shoulders and back, looking very intimate.
Xuanyuan Jun: "......"
Play is play, jokes are jokes, but when the demon gets down to business, he's not kidding you.
Just as Xuanyuan Jun nodded hesitantly and was thinking about what to say, Tian Yao pulled Wang Shuo to kneel in front of Xuanyuan Jun with a serious look:
"I am your master, and he is the recognized elder brother by me and your uncle Li Yuan. You rude little bastard, why don't you kneel down and kowtow? I don't need to tell you what to call him!"
Poor Wang Shuo was still thinking about the sermon given by his master when he came back, but the next moment he found himself kneeling down with his head forced down to kowtow.
However, this kid had been influenced by the celestial demon for a long time, and his brain was very flexible, so he reacted in a short time.
"Oh my! I was so excited to see you that I forgot the etiquette for a moment... Uncle Master! Please accept my respects!"
Without the need for Tian Yao to press him, Wang Shuo took the initiative to bury his head into the ground. To show his sincerity, he directly smashed a big hole in the ground on the top of the mountain in the shape of a human head.
'Kowtowing to acknowledge one's relationship', a faint invisible cause and effect, dramatically began to linger around Xuanyuan Jun, Li Yuan, Tian Yao, and Wang Shuo.
Xuanyuan Jun's face was a little dark, but it seemed more than dark. He took a deep breath at this moment: "..."
This first generation Human Emperor, who was once invincible, originally had a state of mind that was aware of the vicissitudes of life throughout the ages. He saw through the years and his heart was as calm as calm water.
All things in the world, no matter how complicated the affairs are, cannot cause any emotional fluctuations in Xuanyuan Jun. Even if the Daoist Emperor comes to fight, he can face the enemy calmly.
But when I saw these two people smiling "hehehe" at the same time, I finally felt that "times have changed".
Li Yuan approached silently, patted Xuanyuan Jun's shoulder with concern, and said gently: "Brother Xuanyuan...just get used to it..."
After looking at the three people for a long time, Xuanyuan Jun couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed softly.
These three guys are obviously the same in their bones...it's just that one is very good at pretending, another one doesn't act at all, and the remaining one just learned it in a very good way...
He carefully glanced at Tian Yao a few times, and when Tian Yao blushed with shame, Xuanyuan Jun silently looked away.
"Your path, two paths merge into one, is ever-changing. I can't help you."
Speaking of business, Tian Yao stopped joking and nodded seriously: "I have found the way to become a Taoist master. Sooner or later, I will enter that realm."
The blood essence inherited from the ancestor Kunpeng and the ancestor dragon completes the future of Tianyao. As long as Tianyao is given enough time, it will become a brand new Dao Emperor.
When Li Yuan was refining the prototype of the spirit world, Tian Yao had gone to Laojun to gather intelligence. After returning, he quietly collected materials for refining the "secret realm". During this period, he also secretly searched the underworld, fought dozens of battles with the Blood Prison King, and obtained a lot of resources.
The structure of the three realms will change sooner or later. Tian Yao must not only find his own path to becoming the Tao Master, but also make plans for the distant future.
It has a rather competitive nature, and has never stopped thinking about it since it learned the secret from Laojun.
