In the Haotian Palace, Cheng Hao's gaze pierced through the void. Naturally, he saw Hongjun leading Emperor Yu and the other two into the Purple Cloud Palace.
Seeing this, Cheng Hao couldn't help but sigh. Hongjun, this old fellow, had planned for so long and was even willing to play along with him to help his disciple obtain the Saint position. Now, it was finally about to end.
Although he knew that the situation of Emperor Yu and the other two would definitely be very tragic, Cheng Hao had no intention of interfering in this matter.
Hongjun was plotting against Emperor Yu and the other two, plotting against the Heavenly Dao, and he, Cheng Hao, was also plotting against Hongjun!
"I've brought you a variable, and also brought you the hope of breaking free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. Fellow Hongjun, don't disappoint me!"
Looking at the Purple Cloud Palace shrouded in the chaotic mist, Cheng Hao smiled. Then, he slowly closed his eyes and immersed himself in cultivation again.
.....
In the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun sat on the dais. Emperor Yu and the other two sat obediently on the cushions below, quietly waiting for the Tao Ancestor's instructions.
After a moment of silence, Hongjun spoke, "Do the three of you know why I want you to stay?"
"Teacher, is it because the three of us made a great wish?" World Annihilation Elder raised his shriveled head and asked softly.
"That's right. The great wish has its pros and cons. It can let you become a Saint, but it can also pull you down from the Saint position. If you don't handle it well, you'll probably be the only ones to fall from the Saint Altar in the future!"
Hearing this, Emperor Yu and the other two were shocked. Grand Emperor even stood up impatiently and asked, "May I ask, teacher, if we complete the great wish, will we still fall from the Saint Altar?"
Hongjun was slightly stunned. He looked at Grand Emperor in surprise. He felt that the other party's confidence was a little unbelievable.
"Don't tell me that after making such a great wish, you still think you can complete it?"
Towards Hongjun's rhetorical question, Grand Emperor nodded somewhat guiltily. "We feel that although those great ambitions are difficult, they don't seem to be impossible to accomplish!"
"Idiot!"
Hong Jun shook his head helplessly. "Let's not talk about anything else. Just the 'everyone is like a dragon and can live forever' is something that the Heavenly Dao can't let you fulfill!"
Hearing Hongjun's firm conclusion, Feather Emperor's body trembled. He hurriedly stood up and asked, "Teacher, if we are unable to fulfill the grand wish, will we really fall from the Saint Thrones?"
"The three of you are equivalent to overdrafting the future in exchange for the strength of the Sages. It's like flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water. You may seem powerful, but you can lose it at any time! Before the arrival of the first Boundless Tribulation, if you are unable to fulfill all your wishes, the Heavenly Dao will definitely take back your Saint Dharmic powers and return you to your original forms! "
Hongjun's expression was calm, as if he was talking about something unimportant.
Feather Emperor and the other two looked at each other, then knelt on the ground together and kept kowtowing. "Teacher, please save us!"
Hongjun was silent and didn't speak, as if he was calculating the gains and losses.
"Teacher, please save us on account of our relationship as teacher and disciple!"
The three of them kowtowed even faster, as if they wouldn't stop if Hongjun didn't speak.
"Fine, who asked you to be my true disciples!" Hong Jun sighed. He looked as if he was going to help them if he didn't do so.
"True disciples?" World Annihilation Elder raised his head in confusion, not understanding the meaning behind it.
"Whether it's the Three Pure Ones or Nüwa, they are all Saints chosen by the Heavenly Dao. Even if I didn't want to accept them as disciples, I had to accept them for the sake of the Heavenly Dao."
"But you are different. You are variables. Even the Heavenly Dao didn't predict that you would come to the Purple Cloud Palace and become my disciples. In other words, the only people who are fated to be my disciples are the three of you!"
"I see!" World Annihilation Elder and the others looked at each other. They understood that what Hongjun said was probably true. After all, they weren't originally from the Untainted World, so it was true to say that they were variables.
"You are my disciples in the truest sense of the word. As your master, I naturally can't watch you fall from your Holy Thrones!"
As soon as he finished speaking, three rays of light flashed out from between Hongjun's eyebrows, then turned into three figures in mid-air.
One was an old man with a kind face; one was a dignified middle-aged man with a strong murderous aura, as if he had killed a lot; one was a young man with an indifferent expression, surrounded by the light of the Great Path, as if he couldn't be bothered with anything around him.
"These three are Master's Good Corpse, Evil Corpse, and Obsession. Each of them has the strength of a true Saint. Compared to your strength that you obtained through trickery, they are much more real and stable!"
"Master, you mean …" World Annihilation Elder's body trembled slightly. He had vaguely guessed what Hongjun meant.
"That's right. Each of you choose one of these three corpses and bring it back to refine it. After refining it, you will have the strength of a true Saint. Even if you can't complete your Great Wish in the future, you won't have to worry about falling from your Holy Thrones!"
Hongjun's expression was calm, but there was a trace of concern in his eyes as he looked at the three of them. It seemed that he really treated them as his disciples and didn't want them to fall from their Holy Thrones and become the laughingstock of the Untainted World.
"Master … if we refine your Three Corpses, will it affect your strength?"
Emperor Yu was the most suspicious. He didn't believe that there was such a selfless person in the world. Even between a master and a disciple, there couldn't be such a person!
"There will be some impact, but it doesn't matter. Because before long, I will fuse with the Way. Whether or not I have the Three Corpses won't have much meaning!"
After saying this, Hongjun's expression became more and more indifferent. Even Emperor Yu and the others couldn't stand his otherworldly aura. It seemed that the master in front of them could leave the Purple Cloud Palace at any time and become the high and mighty Way of the Heavens.
"Master, you want to fuse with the Way? You want to become the Way of the Heavens? " World Annihilation Elder widened his eyes in disbelief. This world could be played like this. This old man actually wanted to seize the Way of the Heavens?
"That's right. Previously, I've already discussed it with Tao Ancestor Haotian. The current Way of the Untainted World will give birth to self-consciousness soon. If that's the case, then the Way of the Heavens will no longer be a selfless Way of the Heavens, but a Way of the Heavens filled with all kinds of selfish interests. "
"After discussing it with Haotian, I feel that instead of letting the Way of the Heavens give birth to an uncertain personality, it's better for me to fuse with the Way of the Heavens, seize the consciousness of the Way of the Heavens, and become the Way of the Heavens myself!"
"Since I will become the Way of the Heavens in the future, then the Three Corpses won't be of much use. Instead of wasting them, it's better to leave them to you and help you solve the hidden dangers. This is also the last thing I'll do for you before I fuse with the Way!"
