11: Attracted the attention of the Five Elements Ancestor

Hongjun's eyes darted around as he was the first to speak.

The dozen or so powerhouses present were all Reincarnations of former Chaos Demon Gods in the Prehistoric World, and none of them were easy to deal with.

Using their collective reputation as a shield, Hongjun immediately invoked the name of the former Chaos Demon Gods to question Ancestor Five Elements.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you certainly have a clever plan, using everyone's name as a shield, don't you?"

"Although I was the first to arrive, I found nothing."

"When I arrived, Pangus Will had already dissipated."

"As for who set up a pangu tablet here to worship Pangu, I have no way of knowing."

"How about this? Fellow Daoist Hongjun, why don't you step forward and check for All Fellow Daoists if there is anything strange about this pangu tablet?"

Hongjun's calculations were so blatant they were practically slapping Ancestor Five Elements in the face.

With a wave of his hand, Five Elements directly projected the scene of when he first reached the summit of Mount Buzhou.

He regretted having once considered Hongjun a friend; he hadn't expected Old Thief Hongjun to be so calculating.

"It seems I must be careful of Hongjun in the future, lest I get screwed over by him and end up applauding him for it."

"I treat you as a friend, but you treat me like a pawn, is that it?"

Hongjun did not know that because of a single sentence, Five Elements had become wary of him.

In the future, during his Dao-Demon Conflict with Luo Hou, it would now be absolutely impossible for him to ask Ancestor Five Elements to clear the path for him.

Because of one sentence, Hongjun had lost a piece of cannon fodder to clear the way.

If Taiqing knew the situation on the summit of Mount Buzhou right now, and that Hongjun had offended Five Elements...

...he would definitely snort with laughter.

Because of his single act of worship, the Dao-Demon Conflict between Hongjun and Luo Hou was now full of variables.

First, Hongjun lost Ancestor Five Elements as cannon fodder.

During the Dao-Demon Conflict, Hongjun had tricked many people into acting as cannon fodder for him.

Ancestor Five Elements was among them, and in the end, he met his demise by self-detonating.

All of this had changed because of Taiqing's arrival and his worship of Pangu.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Five Elements must be joking. My strength is meager; even during the Chaos Period, I could not compare to All Fellow Daoists."

"In this Prehistoric World, there is no place for someone like me, Hongjun, to speak."

Seeing all the Demon Gods looking at him, Hongjun laughed it off and quickly backed down.

Currently, his heavy injuries had not yet healed, so it was not suitable to clash with these fellows; he could only settle this score in the future.

Furthermore, Luo Hou was eyeing him greedily from the side; he absolutely could not let him discover that he was heavily injured.

Otherwise, the Dao-Demon Conflict might start prematurely.

In his heavily injured state, Hongjun would definitely be no match for Luo Hou.

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, what is your view on this? How should we handle this pangu tablet?"

Seeing the atmosphere turn cold, Hongjun looked toward Ancestor Yang Mei.

As the Reincarnation of the Space Demon God, the third-ranked Demon God during the Chaos Period, Ancestor Yang Mei also had the highest cultivation present.

Yang Mei's cultivation was profound, already making him a Great Expert at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

He was one minor Realm higher than everyone else present.

Among those present, if one were to ask who had the most right to speak, it would certainly be Ancestor Yang Mei.

Hearing Hongjun's words, the powerhouses all turned their gazes toward Ancestor Yang Mei, waiting for his answer.

"All Fellow Daoists, although Pangus Will has reacted again, it has not taken any further action."

"I can infer that Pangus Will must have some kind of restriction and cannot appear in the Prehistoric World for long."

"Otherwise, Pangus Will would likely have taken control of the entire Prehistoric World long ago."

"If that were the case, how could the Heavenly Dao have emerged to govern the Prehistoric World?"

"Now, what needs to be clarified is exactly which creature set up this pangu tablet to worship Pangu."

"Presumably, that worshipping creature must have learned or obtained something from Pangus Will."

"As for this pangu tablet, All Fellow Daoists can decide for yourselves; I have no interest."

Yang Mei voiced his suspicions; he was truly worthy of being the Reincarnation of the Space Demon God, the third-ranked existence among the Chaos Demon Gods.

His guess was already very close to the truth.

The powerhouses present also nodded in agreement.

As for the pangu tablet, whoever wanted to deal with it could do so; Ancestor Yang Mei would not touch that thing.

If he touched that pangu tablet and Pangus Will suddenly jumped out and cleaved him with an axe again, what then?

To whom could Yang Mei complain then?

Among those present, Yang Mei had the highest cultivation.

Even if other Demon Gods touched the pangu tablet and gained something, it would be easy for Yang Mei to demand a share.

This was the benefit of being powerful—one could sit back and wait for the results.

Now, it was the other Demon Gods' turn to choose whether or not to examine the pangu tablet.

Examining the pangu tablet might yield some information or items.

But it was even more likely that Pangus Will would jump out and give them a strike with his axe.

"A mere pangu tablet is nothing to look at; it's just for worshipping that fellow Pangu."

"I, Luo Hou, will not examine it. All Fellow Daoists, please do as you wish."

Luo Hou was the first to speak. Although he was arrogant, he also feared that Pangus Will might suddenly jump out of the pangu tablet and cleave him.

It was better to wait and see; it would be best if a Demon God went up to test the waters, but it didn't matter if none did.

In any case, Pangus Will had fallen silent again, so it had no impact on them.

Seeing Luo Hou speak, the other Demon Gods followed suit, stating they would not get involved.

After everyone had stated their positions, the scene fell into silence once more.

"Since no useful information can be found, I shall take my leave first."

"All Fellow Daoists, until we meet again."

Seeing that everyone had lost interest in examining it, Yang Mei decided to be the first to leave.

Rather than staring blankly here, it was more practical to return to his own Dao Arena to Cultivate.

He was already a Perfected Hunyuan Golden Immortal; with a little more effort, perhaps he might attain the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal in the next moment?

The Prehistoric World was ultimately a world where strength was respected; no matter how powerful Pangus Will was, it had nothing to do with Yang Mei.

The most important thing was one's own strength.

Turning into a streak of light, Yang Mei flew toward the foot of Mount Buzhou.

Seeing Yang Mei leave, the other Demon Gods also departed one after another.

Only Ancestor Five Elements and Old Thief Hongjun were left at the end.

Ancestor Five Elements was lost in thought when suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

"Wait, worship... Before I reached the summit, I encountered a Great Luo Golden Immortal Creature."

"Could it be that this creature worshipped Pangu and triggered Pangus Will?"

Ancestor Five Elements suddenly remembered Taiqing, whom he had encountered while ascending the mountain.

At the time, he hadn't paid much attention, as it was just a mere Grand Unity Golden Immortal ant; Ancestor Five Elements didn't think much of him.

Thinking about it now, that person was definitely the creature who worshipped Pangu.

On Mount Buzhou, Pangus Pressure was immense.

Even for reincarnated Chaos Demon Gods like them, Primordial Golden Immortal Mighty Beings, they could only resist Pangus Pressure using secret techniques.

Yet that Great Luo Golden Immortal Creature was actually able to walk steadily upon Mount Buzhou.

Furthermore, no living beings had ever been born on Mount Buzhou.

Aside from that Great Luo Golden Immortal Creature he met, there were no other beings.

This clearly pointed to the answer.

"That creature definitely obtained some information or item from Pangus Will."

"I must hurry down the mountain to find that creature."

Immediately, Ancestor Five Elements prepared to head down the mountain to pursue Taiqing.

However, seeing that Old Thief Hongjun was still staring at him from the side, Ancestor Five Elements stopped immediately.

Ancestor Five Elements did not have the habit of sharing information with others.

Especially not with this fellow, Old Thief Hongjun, whose true colors he had just seen.
