77: Dijiang launches a surprise attack; are they joining forces to besiege him?
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Great Divine Power Holders present, except for Li Yun, looked toward where Tongtian was.
After all, this was what they most wanted to know right now; whether it was Di Jiang or Laozi, the fact that both had advanced to Quasi-Saint meant they had found a way to improve.
Under such circumstances, they naturally wanted to improve themselves as well and naturally wanted to step into the Quasi-Saint Realm to see what the scenery of a higher Realm was like.
"This..."
Opening his mouth, Tongtian didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Tell them the information about Attaining the Dao through Strength? That was clearly impossible; after all, the Sanqing knew very well how powerful Attaining the Dao through Strength was, and the difficulty itself was also extremely immense.
It was only because they possessed Pangu's Legacy that success was possible; for ordinary people to try and walk the path of Attaining the Dao through Strength was simply fraught with thousands of hardships and dangers, with almost no possibility of success.
"Everyone..."
At this moment, Yuanshi stepped forward, his gaze scanning the area before he said, "It's not that we are stingy, but rather that the path our Three Brothers Cultivate is not suitable for all of you."
"What we Cultivate is the path inherited from the Great God Pangu, which leads to its immense difficulty. Without the pangu bloodline and the blessing of Pangu's Legacy, there is basically very little possibility or certainty of success."
"Fellow Daoists, you wouldn't want to work hard for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years without making any progress, would you?"
Hearing this, Minghe and the others frowned.
They had doubts in their hearts regarding Yuanshi's words.
But seeing the latter's confident appearance, although they were suspicious, no one spoke up or continued to press the matter.
After all, with that posture, anyone who wasn't an idiot could see that Yuanshi and Tongtian would never reveal the method of improvement or the path to advancing to Quasi-Saint.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire area became deathly silent.
Many people felt dejected, but their eyes once again turned toward Laozi and Hongjuns Clone fighting in the distance, attempting to find an opportunity for a Breakthrough from their battle.
Within the crowd, Li Yun was currently somewhat conflicted and hesitant.
At this stage, many Cultivators in the Prehistoric World were stuck by the method of advancing to Quasi-Saint; if he were to inform them now, the benefits gained would definitely be immense.
But once he released the information, the number of Quasi-Saints would increase, and that wouldn't be beneficial for his own future.
After all, the information on the Method of Proving the Dao that Li Yun possessed was truly capable of Proving the Dao of Hunyuan and becoming a Saint, unlike Hongjun's incomplete Slaying Three Corpses, which was a huge pitfall; once cultivated, one seemingly became stronger, but their foundation would rapidly collapse, leaving no possibility of Attaining the Dao and becoming a Saint in the future.
However, after only a few breaths, Li Yun decided to abandon the decision to reveal the information.
Not just for himself, but more importantly, he couldn't rashly expose himself.
Hongjuns Clone had appeared, which meant that Hongjun had already noticed the changes within the Prehistoric World, and sending his Clone out was definitely not just to retrieve the qiankun cauldron.
In that case, if he rashly spoke out and exposed himself, he would surely face Hongjun's targeting or even an assassination attempt, which would be more loss than gain.
Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in Li Yun's eyes as he thought to himself, "Although I can't speak out on a large scale, I can still reveal information on a small scale."
"Taking this opportunity, I can secretly earn some favors from the Great Divine Power Holders. This way, I can lower my presence to avoid Hongjun's notice while still gaining many substantial benefits."
Having made up his mind, Li Yun immediately began to ponder how to operate this matter... Meanwhile, the slaughter between Laozi and Hongjuns Clone was also intensifying.
As the battle continued, Hongjuns Clone was clearly starting to feel overwhelmed; his gaze toward Laozi was filled with not only anger but also more caution, solemnity, and dread.
His Dao Heart was in disarray.
The combat power of Hongjuns Clone also began to decline rapidly.
Under these circumstances, Laozi fought more and more courageously, with countless Taiqing Divine Lightning and Taiqing Sword Qi continuously sweeping out, forcing the opponent to retreat repeatedly, and even the injuries on his body were rapidly expanding.
"What audacity! To dare intrude upon Mount Buzhou without the permission of my Wu Tribe is truly seeking death!"
Just then, an angry roar resounded.
In the next second, the space behind Hongjuns Clone distorted, and Di Jiang's figure could be seen quietly appearing in the area behind him.
Without any nonsense, Di Jiang, upon appearing, threw a punch toward where Hongjuns Clone was.
Before the Clone could make a move, Di Jiang took the initiative to attack: "Space Imprisonment!"
In an instant, the power of the Law of Space swept out, directly imprisoning Hongjuns Clone in place, unable to move.
At that very moment, Di Jiang's fist had already landed, striking his body.
"Ah..."
With a scream, Hongjuns Clone's chest directly exploded, large chunks of flesh and blood flew everywhere, countless blood splattered, and his entire aura rapidly withered at this moment.
But he did not give up there; waving the whisk in his hand, countless silver threads swept out, forcibly forcing Di Jiang back. Continuous attacks even landed on Di Jiang's body, splashing large sparks, with bloodstains faintly oozing out.
Although Di Jiang, who had just advanced to Quasi-Saint, had furthered his Physique, he had not yet reached the level of truly rivaling a top-tier Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Facing an attack from a Cultivator of the same Realm controlling a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, he also felt somewhat uncomfortable.
For a moment, Di Jiang was both shocked and angry.
He never expected this guy he had never seen before to be so powerful, but the anger in his heart grew even more intense as he looked toward the distant area and said, "Taiqing, what are you still waiting for!"
"He must die for intruding upon Mount Buzhou, and since you took the innate supreme treasure, he won't let it go either. Only by completely killing him here is the best choice!"
Clearly, Di Jiang intended to join forces with Laozi to eliminate this person.
This made Laozi a bit startled. After all, the conflict between the Ancestral Witches and the Sanqing was significant; they were previously at each other's throats, and now this sudden cooperation was truly something he wasn't used to.
But this emotion only lasted for an instant before Laozi calmed down and said, "The whisk belongs to me!"
"No problem!"
Waving his hand, Di Jiang said dismissively, "His corpse belongs to me. I want everyone to know the consequences of intruding upon Mount Buzhou without the approval of my Wu Tribe's Ancestral Witches!"
In an instant, both sides reached an agreement.
Without any hesitation, Laozi raised his sword and rushed forward to cooperate with Di Jiang in besieging Hongjuns Clone.
Under the pincer attack from front and back, the Clone was already heavily injured and now didn't even have the ability to escape. Under the siege of the two, his injuries grew more severe, and his aura was rapidly withering.
"Hiss—"
"Am I seeing things?"
Seeing this scene, the crowd of Great Divine Power Holders in the distance couldn't help but gasp, subconsciously exclaiming in shock, "Ancestral Witch Di Jiang and Laozi are joining forces?"
"They are determined to kill that mysterious Quasi-Saint."
"If the Sanqing and the Ancestral Witches join forces, who in the entire Prehistoric World could be their match?"
"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, Fellow Daoist Tongtian, has the conflict between you and the Wu Tribe's Ancestral Witches been resolved?"
