"Hmm?"
"This person … I … I seem to have seen him somewhere before!"
Patriarch Nether River muttered as he looked at the appearance of the Origin Spirit. However, when Ye Xuan heard it, his expression changed, and the aura around his body fluctuated to the extreme.
"Think about it carefully. Where have you seen him before?" Ye Xuan's breathing quickened.
"Let me think about it. This person is …!"
"It's him?"
"Impossible. It's absolutely impossible. How can he still be alive?"
Suddenly, Ancestor Nether River let out a low roar. His entire body trembled as if he had discovered a huge secret.
"Who is he?"
Ye Xuan grabbed Ancestor Nether River's shoulder. His eyes were flashing fiercely. He kept shaking Ancestor Nether River's shoulder to show how excited he was.
Ye Xuan was already disappointed. He thought that Ancestor Nether River did not know who Yuan Ling was and that he was just lucky to draw Yuan Ling's appearance. However, Ancestor Nether River gave him a huge surprise. He actually recognized Yuan Ling.
"Tell me, who is he?"
Looking at Ancestor Nether River's shocked expression, Ye Xuan roared. His eyes were bloodshot because he was about to know who Yuan Ling was.
"Ancestor Red Cloud. This person is Ancestor Red Cloud."
The Nether River Patriarch finally recovered from his shock and spat out a person's name. However, when Ye Xuan heard it, his expression froze.
"Ancestor Red Cloud?" Ye Xuan muttered to himself.
"That's right. It's Ancestor Hongyun. Although it's been a long time and I've almost forgotten about him, I only remembered him today when I saw Hongyun's appearance." Elder Minghe said firmly and confidently.
"Pangu split the heavens and Hongjun preached the Dao. That year, the Primordial World had just been created. There were no Saints in the world. I had just taken form from the Netherworld Blood Sea. After countless years, Dao Ancestor Hongjun killed the three corpses and became a Saint. He even announced to the Three Realms that he wanted to preach the Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace."
"In the Purple Cloud Palace, I met Ancestor Hong Yun once. Back then, his cultivation was already extremely high. However, he was easy-going and kind by nature. He never competed with others. Yet, he obtained the seventh Hong Meng Immortal Vapor."
"But it was also because of this seventh Hong Meng Immortal Vapor that he was besieged by two Demon Race Celestial Emperors as soon as he walked out of the Purple Cloud Palace. Countless Sages-to-be attacked him in secret. That battle was earth-shattering. Ancestor Red Cloud also died tragically between heaven and earth. At that time, Hong Meng Immortal Vapor also disappeared without a trace."
"I can't be wrong. This person is Ancestor Hongyun. I can't be wrong."
The Nether River Patriarch spoke quickly, but his expression was uncertain. "But he is clearly dead. Why would he change his name to Yuan Ling?"
At this moment.
Ye Xuan became silent. It was as if he did not hear the Nether River Patriarch's words. His fists were clenched tightly, and the aura around him was fluctuating to the extreme.
"Hong Meng Immortal Vapor is indeed his doing!"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan roared. His eyes shone with a fierce light. He was finally sure that the Hong Meng Immortal Vapor was something that Yuan Ling deliberately allowed him to obtain.
"Tell me, where is Ancestor Hong Yun's foundation?" Ye Xuan roared loudly at the Nether River Patriarch.
Looking at Ye Xuan's agitated expression, the Nether River Patriarch frowned slightly. Then, he slowly shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know. Legend has it that Ancestor Hong Yun was the first red cloud in the world to take human form. I've never heard of him having any foundation. Moreover, this person only appeared for a short period of time. He only listened to Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace during the early years of the Untainted Land. Then, he died between heaven and earth."
"No, this can't be right!"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan muttered to himself. This was because he clearly remembered the teachings that Yuan Ling gave him during the four years of the Blood Sea Battlefield. Yuan Ling appeared as an Immortal Spirit. He was also someone's External Incarnation.
Moreover, Yuan Ling once said that his original body did not appear in front of Ye Xuan because he was afraid that the Sages would notice him. Furthermore, Yuan Ling was a person who was respected as an Ancestor in the Three Realms.
To be respected as an Ancestor, he must be a person that the living beings in the Three Realms were familiar with.
However, Ancestor Hong Yun died tragically between heaven and earth back then. The later generations would not know about him at all. This was obviously contradictory.
"Is it possible that Ancestor Hong Yun died tragically back then and this red cloud was actually someone's External Incarnation?" Ye Xuan asked in surprise.
"Now that you mention it, it's highly possible. Back then, I saw Ancestor Hong Yun die under the Bell of Chaos with my own eyes. However, Donghuang Taiyi said something strange," the Nether River Patriarch said in a deep voice.
"What did he say?"
"He offended someone, someone he could not afford to offend. He even returned to the Ancient Demon Court with a long sigh," the Nether River Patriarch said solemnly. Clearly, he had also thought of something extremely terrifying.
"Ye Xuan, you must know that Ancestor Hong Yun was a Sage-to-be. If he was just someone's External Incarnation, but he dared to let his External Incarnation go to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to Dao, then this person is too terrifying," the Nether River Patriarch said in a trembling voice.
Fog, a great fog. Ye Xuan originally thought that he knew Yuan Ling's true identity, but he was greatly disappointed.
If Ancestor Hong Yun was also Yuan Ling's External Incarnation, then who was his original body?
How dare he listen to Dao Ancestor Hong Jun, who was already a Sage, and even obtained the seventh Hong Meng Violet Vapor?
Ye Xuan was now absolutely certain that the Hong Meng Violet Vapor in his hand was deliberately given to him by Yuan Ling. Moreover, Yuan Ling wanted to use it to destroy his path of Dao through strength.
Thinking of such a vicious scheme, Ye Xuan broke out in a cold sweat. If he had not broken free at the last moment, if he had really chosen to become a Sage through virtue, he would have fallen into Yuan Ling's trap.
At this moment, Ye Xuan felt extremely horrified. It was as if a pair of eyes were staring at him all the time. If he made a mistake, he would definitely be consigned to eternal damnation.
"The Eastern Emperor Taiyi. Perhaps the Eastern Emperor Taiyi has some understanding of the Yuan Ling you mentioned," the Nether River Patriarch said in a low voice.
Clearly, the conversation with Ye Xuan today had frightened the Nether River Patriarch. He felt that he had fallen into a huge trap, and it gave him a sense of extreme danger.
This feeling was so strong that it made the Nether River Patriarch's hair stand on end.
"The Eastern Emperor Taiyi?"
Ye Xuan muttered to himself as if he had grasped an extremely important clue. At this moment, he also thought of Sun Wukong's warning to him and became even more suspicious of Patriarch Subhuti.
The Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Subhuti!
These two people were an extremely important clue. However, Ye Xuan was now the focus of everyone's attention. He also had to face the great calamity of the Ancient Demon Court. He simply could not do anything else.
"Ye Xuan, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. You're on your own in the future."
The Nether River Patriarch already had the intention to leave because he already felt that he had fallen into an extremely terrifying trap. He also found that there were too many suspicious points about Ye Xuan. It was better not to get too close to Ye Xuan. As for the Hong Meng Violet Vapor, he could only think of other ways to obtain it.
