144: Happy division of spoils, Great Sage balancing accounts
After Hongjun disappeared, the Twelve Ancestral Witches did not immediately disband the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Great Array.
Instead, they continued to act along with Tai Chu.
This scene was naturally for the other Chaos Demon Gods, and even the Heavenly Dao, to see.
Although the Heavenly Dao had not yet awakened, Hongjun had just used the Power of the Heavenly Dao here.
This place would certainly be recorded by the rules of the Heavenly Dao.
When the Heavenly Dao awakened, it would naturally take a close look.
"Let's not mention this for now; this poor Daoist hasn't visited the Pangu Hall of you Fellow Daoists in a long time."
"Would you Fellow Daoists care to invite this poor Daoist to sit in the Pangu Hall?"
"It just so happens that this poor Daoist has had new insights into the Great Dao recently; how about I explain them to you all as well?"
Tai Chu, formed by the fusion of the Three Pure Ones, was also acting his heart out.
"It was our lack of consideration; we hope Fellow Daoist Tai Chu can forgive us."
"Fellow Daoist Tai Chu, please follow us into the Pangu Hall for a chat."
"we must also thank Fellow Daoist Tai Chu for your care and preaching to we over all these long periods of time."
"Otherwise, we Twelve Ancestral Witches would not have been able to promote to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm so quickly."
Although Di Jiang spoke of inviting Tai Chu into the Pangu Hall, his body remained still.
Only after finishing what he had to say did he control the Pangu True Body to lead Tai Chu toward the Pangu Hall.
As soon as they entered the Pangu Hall, the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Three Pure Ones immediately deactivated the array.
The fifteen brothers and sisters all began to laugh uproariously.
"Hahaha, satisfying, truly satisfying! we finally made Old Thief Hongjun pay a price."
"A full nine Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and we even made Old Thief Hongjun's injuries more severe."
"This foul mood has finally been somewhat vented."
Di Jiang laughed the most heartily; he had personally experienced the terror of Hongjun blocking their door.
Now that he had vented his frustration and cleared the haze from his heart, Di Jiang's state of mind sublimated at this moment.
As his state of mind sublimated, Di Jiang's aura began to rise sharply, though he did not promote to the Mid-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
However, even if he didn't promote, he wasn't far from it.
He only needed to settle down and Cultivate well for ten thousand years, and he would definitely be able to promote to the Mid-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
"Congratulations, Big Brother, on your state of mind Breakthrough; you are about to promote to the Mid-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm."
Today was truly a double blessing; not only did they vent their anger on Hongjun, but Di Jiang was also about to break through his realm.
After the joy, the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches began to divide the loot.
Taiqing took out the nine Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures and placed them in their midst.
"How about we distribute these nine Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures to the brothers and sisters who didn't receive any Spirit Treasures last time?"
Last time the Three Pure Ones returned, besides the god slaying spear and the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation...
They had also brought back three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Those three Spirit Treasures were given to Hou Tu, Di Jiang, and the Ju Mang.
"Let's distribute them this way; we have no objections."
Di Jiang, Hou Tu, and the Ju Mang naturally had no objections.
With this distribution, each of the Twelve Ancestral Witches would have one Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
"Good, in that case, let's see which Spirit Treasure each of you Witch brothers and Sister Xuan Ming are destined for."
Taiqing released his restraint on the nine Spirit Treasures, and they floated within the Pangu Hall.
In the end, the nine Spirit Treasures truly chose the nine Ancestral Witches other than Di Jiang, Hou Tu, and the Ju Mang as their masters.
"This is too coincidental; could Old Thief Hongjun really be here to give us Spirit Treasures?"
"Otherwise, how could the Ancestral Witches who didn't have Spirit Treasures assigned to them just happen to be recognized as masters?"
Shangqing Lingbao watched this scene and spoke in disbelief.
Even Taiqing was somewhat surprised by this.
This was simply too coincidental, just as his third brother had said.
In fact, while Taiqing and the others were dividing the loot, they didn't notice that the nine Spirit Treasures first flew before the pangu tablet.
A light that the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches could not see shot out from the pangu tablet.
All nine Spirit Treasures were illuminated by that light.
It was precisely because of this light that the nine Ancestral Witches who weren't assigned Spirit Treasures before became destined for these nine Spirit Treasures.
Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the Honghuang World?
This wave was truly Pangus Will seeking benefits for his children.
This time, Pangus Will also did a good deed without leaving a name.
While the atmosphere in the Pangu Hall was quite cheerful, another place was quite grief-stricken and indignant.
At Jade Capital Mountain, Hongjun returned to the Zixiao Palace once again and lay down in the same spot he had before.
But this time, Hongjun did not fall unconscious.
Although he wasn't unconscious, Hongjun's state was even worse than after his previous coma.
"That damn fellow Luo Hou, even in death he managed to screw me over."
"How could that god slaying spear appear in Tai Chu's hands? Could that Tai Chu be Luo Hou's hidden trump card?"
Hongjun's face was extremely pained; he had been struck by the full force of the god slaying spear used unexpectedly by Tai Chu.
His Primordial Spirit hadn't recovered to begin with, and now it was even more severely injured.
His Primordial Spirit was filled with cracks, as if it might break apart at any moment.
Hongjun hurriedly pulled out some supreme grade Spirit Medicines and spirit fruits and began to consume them greedily to repair his injuries.
"The loss this time is truly immense; not only did I fail to take in the Three Pure Ones, but I have also completely offended the Twelve Ancestral Witches."
"And I even lost nine Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures."
"It's all the fault of that damn Tai Chu; it must be him instigating the Twelve Ancestral Witches to oppose me."
"Otherwise, how could they know of my existence? And even attack me as soon as they arrived."
At this moment, Hongjun hated Tai Chu to the core and secretly swore to make Tai Chu pay a blood price.
"Once again, I've used a Heavenly Dao trump card, and the Power of the Heavenly Dao occupies even more of my Primordial Spirit's area!"
"This scheme is truly the only failure I have encountered since my Reincarnation and re-cultivation in the Honghuang."
"The price is truly heavy!"
As Hongjun felt the part of his Primordial Spirit occupied by the Power of the Heavenly Dao, his hatred for Tai Chu became even stronger.
This was the price for Hongjun using the Heavenly Dao trump card.
Once he used the Heavenly Dao trump card, his Primordial Spirit would gradually be assimilated by the Power of the Heavenly Dao.
Until finally, Hongjun's Primordial Spirit would be completely assimilated and controlled by the Heavenly Dao, turning him entirely into a Puppet of the Heavenly Dao.
This kind of assimilation wasn't something that could be solved by cutting off that part of the Primordial Spirit.
Even if he cut off that part, the Power of the Heavenly Dao would still occupy a proportional part of Hongjun's remaining Primordial Spirit.
And cutting off that part of the Primordial Spirit would be Hongjun's own loss.
The Power of the Heavenly Dao was like a maggot in the bone, impossible to shake off.
"Fortunately, although the loss was huge this time, it wasn't without gain."
"At least I know of the existence of the huge variable that is Tai Chu."
"And the actions of Reincarnation, Yang Mei, and the others back then."
"I'm afraid Tai Chu's calculations are also involved in this."
"This way, when the Heavenly Dao awakens, the blame for none of those old Fellow Daoists having fallen can all be pushed onto that Tai Chu."
Hongjun did not get hysterically angry.
Since things had already reached this point, he might as well think about what to do next.
Thus, Hongjun found the best scapegoat in Tai Chu.
All the blame could be pushed onto Tai Chu.
In any case, the huge variable that is Tai Chu must be removed; he might as well let Tai Chu be the one to settle the accounts.
"I must Proving the Dao and become a Saint as soon as possible; only by becoming a Saint can I have enough strength to scheme against the entire Honghuang."
