40: Hongjun's calculations were rejected by the Five Elements.

"I am Xuan Qing, born today!"

Xuan Qing slowly opened his eyes, divine light flickering within them as a powerful Aura erupted from his body.

Xuan Qing's Realm was surprisingly the Early-stage Great Overarching Golden Immortal Realm.

But it made sense; the blood in this Blood Pool, while not Pangu's Essence Blood, was still Pangu's blood.

Combined with the Taiqing Primordial Spirit, its essence was also related to Pangu's Primordial Spirit.

The combination of the two producing an Early-stage Great Overarching Golden Immortal expert was not surprising at all.

"Xuan Qing greets Fellow Daoist."

Xuan Qing leapt out of the Blood Pool, clothes naturally appearing on his body, and then bowed to Taiqing.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xuan Qing. From now on, you shall walk the Primordial World on my behalf. Go now."

Taiqing also bowed to his Clone, Xuan Qing.

To avoid detection by the Ancestor of Reincarnation, Taiqing deliberately severed the connection between Xuan Qing and himself.

Strictly speaking, Xuan Qing was now a completely independent individual.

However, Taiqing could still retrieve Xuan Qing.

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist. I will naturally bring back the Law of Reincarnation and give it to Sister Houtu."

Xuan Qing bowed and prepared to leave Pangu Hall.

"Brother Xuan Qing, please be careful."

Hearing the conversation between Xuan Qing and Big Brother Taiqing, Houtu knew that Big Brother Taiqing had created this Clone entirely for her.

So Houtu directly called Xuan Qing "Brother."

"Don't worry, Younger Sister Houtu. You must not put too much pressure on yourself.

Brother will bring back the Law of Reincarnation for you," Xuan Qing said softly.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?"

Taiqing suddenly asked.

He was somewhat expectant whether a Clone could master a Divine Ability like One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.

Xuan Qing sensed for a moment.

"No."

Xuan Qing answered decisively.

Hearing Xuan Qing's answer, Taiqing was slightly disappointed.

But then he felt relieved.

Such a Heaven-Defying Divine Ability as One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones—if even a Clone could master it, it would be even more Heaven-Defying and insidious.

It would be incredibly cunning.

If Clones could master One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Taiqing could simply refine more Clones.

Then, Taiqing alone would be an army, a powerful race, a powerful force.

"Take care!"

Cupping his hands to Xuan Qing, Taiqing sat cross-legged by the Blood Pool and closed his eyes to Cultivate.

He was going to start comprehending the Laws of Time and Space, as well as the Eight Trigrams Deduction Method.

"Farewell!"

Xuan Qing cupped his hands and leaped out of Pangu Hall.

Leaving Pangu Hall, Xuan Qing didn't hesitate and sped towards the suspected location of the Old Ancestor Reincarnations Dao Field.

Meanwhile, in the Eastern Continent, in a Dao Field where the Five Elements Law surged.

An elderly man with an immortal air walked out of the Dao Field with a dark expression.

This elder was none other than Daoist Hongjun.

And this Dao Field was naturally the Old Ancestor of Five Elements' Dao Field.

"Damn it, why did Five Elements refuse my invitation? Previously, this fellow was quite supportive of my battle with Luo Hou."

"What happened in the meantime? Why did Five Elements' tone change so quickly?"

Old Daoist Hongjun thought with a dark face as he flew.

He really couldn't understand why Five Elements would refuse him. During their previous discussions on the Dao, Five Elements had promised readily.

Saying he would definitely support Hongjun in the battle against Luo Hou.

Yet when it came to the final battle between Hongjun and Luo Hou, the Old Ancestor of Five Elements changed his mind.

Old Daoist Hongjun didn't know yet that the Old Ancestor of Five Elements' refusal to help him was entirely because of Hongjun's loose tongue at the Buzhou Mountain Peak.

It was that one instance of speaking out of turn that allowed the Old Ancestor of Five Elements to see through Old Daoist Hongjun's true colors.

Old Thief Hongjun was merely using them as cannon fodder to clear the way for his battle with Luo Hou.

And the cause of all this was Taiqing's worship of Pangu at the Buzhou Mountain Peak.

Because of Taiqing's actions, the final battle between Old Daoist Hongjun and Luo Hou had suddenly become unpredictable.

"Hmph! Old Thief Hongjun, don't think I don't know what you're planning."

"Wanting me to get involved in your final battle just so I can clear the way as cannon fodder for you."

"Forget it!"

Seeing Old Daoist Hongjun leave his Dao Field in disgrace, the Old Ancestor of Five Elements snorted coldly, his eyes filled with contempt for Old Daoist Hongjun.

"No, Old Thief Hongjun schemed against me like this. If I don't pay him back in kind, won't it seem like I'm afraid of him?"

"Let me see who Old Thief Hongjun is going to pit next."

"I don't care who you try to pit, but I won't let you have your way!"

The Old Ancestor of Five Elements was also someone who sought revenge. Since Old Daoist Hongjun had tried to pit him, he had to retaliate.

"So he's planning to go to Fellow Daoist Yin Yang's Dao Field to pit him, huh."

"Then I shall go one step ahead of you to inform Fellow Daoist Yin Yang and make you return in defeat."

After some calculation and deduction, the Old Ancestor of Five Elements confirmed that the next person Hongjun was looking for was the Old Ancestor of Yin and Yang.

Without further hesitation, the Old Ancestor of Five Elements turned into a five-colored light and vanished into the horizon.

His speed was much faster than Old Daoist Hongjun's pace.

"Next, I'll go find Fellow Daoist Yin Yang. Given our friendship, he will surely help me."

Old Daoist Hongjun was still unhurriedly heading towards the Old Ancestor of Yin and Yang's Dao Field.

Little did he know that the Old Ancestor of Five Elements had already gone ahead of him, rushing to the Yin Yang Dao Field, determined to ruin Hongjun's plan.

"Since Fellow Daoist Five Elements won't help me, the previous plan needs some changes."

"Besides Fellow Daoist Yin Yang and Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, I must invite at least one more Fellow Daoist."

"After all, Luo Hou's Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is said to be unbreakable without four saints."

"Including me, there must be at least four experts."

"My three corpses can only be used as a trump card."

Old Daoist Hongjun thought about who to pit next while traveling.

If Luo Hou knew what Hongjun was thinking, he would surely be surprised that Hongjun actually knew about his Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

And even knew that the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation could not be broken without four saints.

One must know that since Luo Hou obtained the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation after the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, he had never used it.

His practice of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation had always been beneath Mount Sumeru.

Even Jidu, the Grand Elder of the Demonic Cult, did not know of the existence of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

This fellow Hongjun actually knew about the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and its mysteries.

This was naturally not because Old Daoist Hongjun had divine powers to deduce its existence.

It was naturally the Heavenly Dao giving Old Daoist Hongjun insider information, letting him know the existence and mysteries of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

Therefore, Hongjun would invite corresponding experts based on the mysteries of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, letting them clear the way for him.

As for pitting his so-called Fellow Daoists to death? What did that have to do with Hongjun?

That was the general trend set by the Heavenly Dao—the Reincarnated Experts of Chaos Demon Gods of the past must all die out.

The Heavenly Dao did not allow any existence that could potentially exceed its control to remain active in the Primordial World.

And the Reincarnated Experts of Chaos Demon Gods were entirely such a possibility.

The Reincarnated Experts of Chaos Demon Gods cultivated the Path of Law, even if the Heavenly Dao suppressed all living beings from cultivating it.

The Reincarnated Experts of Chaos Demon Gods didn't care about the Heavenly Dao's suppression at all.

Their insights into the Laws from the Chaos Demon God period were still there; they only needed to comprehend them again to regain their cultivation.
