68: Chapter 68 Conflict Among the Three Clans, Rahu Attempts to Mediate Peace

At Yujing Mountain, Hongjun watched the retreating figure of Daoist Yin Yang and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Could Rahu truly possess a method to Breakthrough to the Hunyuan Realm? Should I go and test it out?"

His gaze fell upon the golden wheel of merit and the boundless Luck behind him; he had already traversed a vast distance along the path of the Saint.

The path of Hunyuan was completely different from that of a Saint. The former involved choosing to settle one's Karma with Heaven and Earth to transcend this world.

Furthermore, the path of Hunyuan was not easy to walk. Although the path of the Saint lacked some freedom, once the Karma with Heaven and Earth was settled, one could rely on the insights gained during their time as a Saint to push their Hunyuan cultivation to an extremely profound Realm.

This Realm would otherwise require countless years of refinement by an existence who had just stepped into the Hunyuan stage.

This was the true meaning of accumulating strength to achieve greatness.

Hongjun shook his head, pushing those thoughts aside.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, it has indeed been a long time. I am Daoist Five Elements, and today I wish to withdraw from the Immortal Path."

Outside Yujing Mountain, the voice of Daoist Five Elements rang out.

Hongjun's face darkened as he cursed inwardly, "That damned Rahu, is he trying to sever the Foundation of my Immortal Path?"

Yet he suppressed his inner fury. He understood the nature of those Innate Sacred Beings all too well.

The phrase 'stopping at nothing in pursuit of the Great Dao' was more than just talk.

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on his face as he walked toward Daoist Five Elements outside Zixiao Palace.

"Fellow Daoist, won't you reconsider? My Immortal Path can offer much, and even Innate Spirit Treasures are not out of the question."

"My apologies, Fellow Daoist Hongjun. From this day forth, do not call me 'Fellow Daoist'; call me 'Fellow Demon'."

"Damn it, Rahu, you really are a bastard!"

“Pah! Hongjun, how dare you slander the Great Demon Ancestor? He provided us with the path to step into Hunyuan. How can you be allowed to slander him so? From now on, our ties are severed.”

The voice of Daoist Five Elements echoed within Zixiao Palace.

"Five Elements, you..."

...In the Primordial World, upon Mount Sumeru, the scene was entirely different.

Innate Sacred Beings gathered one by one, their auras incredibly grand and majestic.

These existences were naturally not mere Incarnations, but their true Sacred bodies.

Among them, there were even several who had also stepped beyond the Peak Daluo.

"Ahem, it seems everyone has arrived. Then, it is time to discuss our next steps in development."

"You have all clearly seen the things I have given you, haven't you?"

"The path to Hunyuan has been opened for you all, but for you Fellow Daoists to achieve a Breakthrough is no easy task."

"Particularly for those who have fused with the Great Dao of the Primordial World, breaking through will be even more difficult."

At this moment, the Innate Sacred Beings seated on Mount Sumeru nodded in succession.

Daoist Yin Yang and others, in particular, could better appreciate the difficulty of fusing with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Having reached their Realm, they had already begun to fuse with the Great Dao. To take a step further was not as simple as sacrificing Chaos Demon Gods.

It also required 'Severing the Dao'—cutting off their connection with the Great Dao of Yin and Yang within the world.

But once they reverted to ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortals, how could they achieve Hunyuan? This was the most difficult problem.

Rahu looked at the worried faces of the Innate Sacred Beings and continued to speak.

"Everyone, there is actually no need to worry about this matter. I have long since found a solution."

"We of the Demonic Path naturally need to use clever means."

"The Primordial World is too powerful, and severing Karma with the world is too difficult."

"So, why not change our thinking and directly steal the insights and power of the Chaos Demon Gods?"

Rahu chuckled softly, while the Innate Sacred Beings below showed expressions of alarm.

Stealing the insights and power of Chaos Demon Gods—he really came up with such an idea.

Yet after some reflection, they felt there was some merit to it.

The question of how to carry this out remained a difficult problem.

Rahu did not hesitate, sending a beam of spiritual light into the bodies of the many Innate Sacred Beings present.

Was this the method for stealing the power and insights of Chaos Demon Gods?

Did they really think he had been idle all these years?

No, Rahu had been constantly progressing.

Although he was still a tiny bit away from the Hunyuan Realm, he was not lacking in other aspects.

Whether in terms of Realm or insights, combined with what he had obtained from the Beast Emperor...

Regarding knowledge of the Chaos Demon Gods, aside from That One and the Reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God, Daoist Yang Mei, he could be said to be the existence who understood them best.

In these years, he had even continuously attempted to steal the power of Chaos Demon Gods and had gained quite a lot.

The Innate Sacred Beings below were no longer calm. Sensing the methods and details of how to steal the power of Chaos Demon Gods, they looked up at Rahu.

No wonder this fellow's cultivation increased so rapidly; just how many insights from Chaos Demon Gods had he stolen?

Pah! To think their bitter cultivation couldn't even compare to a thief.

But when they spoke, they were extremely sincere.

"Lord Demon Ancestor has truly exhausted himself for our cultivation and to enhance the strength of us Innate Sacred Beings!"

"This plan is brilliant. On one hand, it can weaken the power of the Chaos Demon Gods, and on the other, it opens the path for our Breakthrough to Hunyuan."

"Lord Demon Ancestor's merit will last for thousands of generations. We believe that in the future, the entire Primordial World will be led by the Demon Ancestor."

Among the Innate Sacred Beings, Daoist Yin Yang immediately stood up and spoke.

The other Innate Sacred Beings below cursed him for his shamelessness.

Daoist Qian Kun was even more bewildered; was this still the Yin Yang he knew?

"Fellow Daoist Yin Yang is right. The Demon Ancestor's merit truly lasts for thousands of generations!"

No matter how angry the other Innate Sacred Beings were, their words were surprisingly consistent.

You must be joking; they had never played such a sinister game before.

The Chaos Demon Gods were far too powerful. Although Rahu had taught them the steps, they lacked experience with the specific details.

In case they ran into trouble, they would still need Rahu to step in.

Naturally, they should praise him as much as possible now. If they didn't praise him enough, who would be willing to help them handle a crisis?

Rahu watched this scene, his heart incredibly calm.

They were just Innate Sacred Beings; in some aspects, they were no different from Innate Living Beings.

As long as there was something they needed, they were still willing to fight for their interests.

The interest they required was nothing more than the path ahead.

That was exactly what Rahu could give them.

Rahu looked toward the world. With the addition of these existences, it was time to proceed with the next step of the plan.

It was also time for those members of the Three Innate Clans to return.

"The world is so filthy. Next, what we must do, besides verifying the path to Hunyuan, is to make the Three Innate Clans stop their war."

"To succeed in this experiment, we must unite all the forces that can be united."

Rahu looked at the Innate Sacred Beings and proposed his next plan.

"Fellow Daoist Rahu, how are we to make the Three Innate Clans stop their war?"

Rahu gave a light chuckle.

"Heh, it's simple. We just beat them into submission."
