Emperor Yu and the other two fell silent. If what Hongjun said was true, then there really wasn't anything wrong with the other party giving them the three corpses.
However, these people had been the big bosses of the perfect world for countless eras after all. They were extremely suspicious. No matter how much they desired it, they didn't dare to casually accept the three corpses of a Dao Ancestor. Who knew if there would be any hidden dangers in the future?
"Teacher, you don't have to be so anxious. After all, we are still far away from the Immeasurable Calamity. Disciple and the others can wait for you to fuse with the Dao first. After confirming that you are safe and sound, it won't be too late to refine teacher's three corpses! "Old Man Annihilation chuckled and bowed.
"That's right, Teacher. Dao Integration Stage will definitely be fraught with danger. If you were to suffer any injuries, you might still be able to use the Three Corpses. If the disciples were to refine them in advance, wouldn't that affect your plans?" Emperor Yu hurriedly chimed in.
"That's right. Teacher, you are so considerate of your disciples. How can disciple delay your important matters? Teacher, you can fuse with the Dao. After you safely fuse with the Dao, disciples can refine the three corpses without worry, right? "Grand Emperor also looked like he was thinking for his teacher, afraid that something would happen to his teacher during the Dao Integration.
Looking at the three grateful disciples below, who looked like they were thinking for him, Hongjun took a deep breath and finally suppressed the urge to slap them to death in his heart.
These guys were really suspicious. He couldn't take them down just by fooling them. This made Hongjun have no choice but to change his strategy.
"Since that's the case, I'll take back these three corpses first!"
Hongjun waved his sleeve, and the three corpses immediately turned into three streaks of rainbow light, circling around him, as if they would return to the space between his eyebrows in the next moment.
"However, I have to tell you in advance. After I fuse with the Dao, my emotions will gradually fade because of the Dao of the Heavens. It's hard to say if I will still care about the relationship between us in the future!"
"If Master doesn't allow the three of you to refine the three corpses because of my lack of emotions, then don't resent Master. After all, Master will be the Heavenly Dao at that time, and will no longer just be your teacher!"
Emperor Yu and the others immediately panicked upon hearing this. Hongjun's words made a lot of sense. Once he succeeded in the Dao Integration Stage and became the Heavenly Dao, he would lose his original feelings. It was hard to say if he would still allow them to refine the three corpses out of consideration for their master and disciple relationship!
"Teacher, please wait!" Old Man Annihilation hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Teacher, since this is Teacher's care for the disciples, we will listen to Teacher!"
"Teacher, we are willing to refine the Three Corpses!" Feather Emperor and Grand Emperor hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"If that's the case, the three of you can each choose a corpse to refine!" Hongjun waved his sleeve, and the three corpses appeared again. They stood in the air, waiting for the three to make their choice.
Old Man Annihilation chose the Good Corpse, Feather Emperor chose the middle-aged Evil Corpse, and Grand Emperor kept the Obsession Corpse in his sleeve.
"Teacher, the three of us will return to the cave abode now. After we refine the Three Corpses and become real Sages, we will come and pay our respects to Teacher!" After choosing their corpses, Feather Emperor and the others stood up and prepared to leave.
"Go. I hope that before Master reaches the Dao Integration Stage, I can see you become real Sages. It can be considered as fulfilling one of Master's wishes!" Hongjun's expression was much gentler, and his eyes were full of concern as he looked at the three of them.
Hongjun's attitude made Feather Emperor and the others mutter in their hearts.
Could it be that this old guy really treated them as his last disciples?
No matter how much they guessed in their hearts, the three of them didn't dare to completely trust Hongjun. After leaving the Purple Cloud Palace, the three of them wandered in the chaotic fog of the 33 Heavens for a long time, and even messed up the mysteries of heaven. After that, they carefully went to the Haotian Palace.
"Hong Jun is too mysterious and unfathomable. Even if he bestowed us with a great fortuitous encounter, he might be hiding some sort of calamity within it!"
"It's best to ask Master about this matter. After all, we're Master's servants. Now that we're Saints, we're very useful to him. Master won't watch us jump into the fire pit without doing anything!"
In the time it took for the three of them to speak, they arrived in front of the Haotian Palace. They didn't even knock on the door, and the door opened automatically to welcome them in.
Without any hesitation, Feather Emperor and the others walked through the door. They looked around at the scene that was similar to the Purple Cloud Palace. With one step, they came directly to the preaching square.
"Master, we have something important to report!" Old Man Annihilation said directly to the majestic figure on the high platform.
"Speak!" Cheng Hao nodded indifferently.
Old Man Annihilation didn't dare to show any disrespect. He recounted everything that had happened after the three of them entered the Purple Cloud Palace. Then he asked nervously, "Master, can we trust Hongjun's words?"
"If you refine his Three Corpses, you can indeed become real Sages. Hongjun is indeed preparing to merge with the Way. As variables, you can be counted as his real disciples. He didn't lie about this!"
Cheng Hao sat cross-legged on the high platform. Chaotic fog lingered around him, so Emperor Yu and the others couldn't see his expression clearly. Naturally, they didn't know that Cheng Hao had a mocking smile on his face.
"Master, merging with the Way and becoming the Untainted Way of Heaven. Why don't you fight for such a good thing? Why give it to Hongjun? In the future, when you face Hongjun, won't you have to lower your head? "Emperor Yu was suspicious. Even when facing his master, Cheng Hao, he still probed carefully.
"To merge with the Way, you need to be far more powerful than ordinary Sages. You also need to be a Sage! Merging with the Way has its advantages and disadvantages. Although you can improve your strength a lot, you can't leave the Untainted Land. After all, I'm not from the Untainted Land. Sooner or later, I will return to my previous world. I don't want to be bound here! "
"I see!"
Hearing Cheng Hao's answer, Emperor Yu and the others were relieved. When they thought that Cheng Hao would leave the Untainted Land in the future, they felt a little excited. Without this master, wouldn't they be completely free in the Untainted Land in the future?
"Master, according to your opinion, can we refine Hongjun's Three Corpses? Is he hiding some scheme in them?"
"Just refine them. No matter what scheme he has, it's better than you falling from your Sage Thrones because you can't fulfill your great ambitions in the future, right?"
"Master, you're right!"
Emperor Yu and the others nodded. After all, they already had a master above them. No matter how bad the situation was, they would just be controlled by Hongjun in the future and have another master behind them.
One master or two masters, what difference did it make to them?
