Chapter 129 Xuanwu Seeks the Holy Throne
Exploring the Xianxia (fantasy martial arts) novel genre
The sunset enveloped the Yin-Yang Ancestor, whose gender-ambiguous appearance was captivating, while the pale-faced Acquired God Ancestor sighed softly.
Kunpeng was extremely wary, for there were no weaklings among the progenitors of the acquired divine path, and the Yin-Yang Ancestor before him was one of the giants of the primordial world. Those who cultivated to the level of [Primordial Quasi-Saint] were not simple beings.
With the support of the Pantheon and the amplification of Yin-Yang innate spiritual treasures, it is normal for the Yin-Yang Ancestor to exert the combat power of a mid-stage Quasi-Saint in the Primordial Chaos for a short period of time.
The Yin-Yang Ancestor's Yin-Yang Dao is unique; it is neither the Taiyin and Taiyang of the primordial starry sky, nor the Taiyin and Taiyang Qi controlled by the Phoenix Ancestor.
It is the practice of absorbing yin to replenish yang and absorbing yang to replenish yin; it is the original path of dual cultivation in the primordial world.
Although the disciples Yin Ancestor and Yang Ancestor are called disciples, they are actually the vessels for cultivation. In fact, the Yin Ancestor himself split open and transformed into Yin Woman and Yang Man.
Yin contains Yang, and Yang contains Yin; the Great Dao of Primordial Yin and Yang is mysterious and unpredictable.
Kunpeng said with difficulty, "Senior, Ancestor Hongjun is seriously injured and on the verge of death. I don't know exactly where he is."
With an imposing androgynous air, the Yin-Yang Ancestor said softly, "You jointly established the Great Luo Heaven and jointly built the Jade Capital; it's impossible that you weren't connected."
Kunpeng patiently explained, "The Primordial Ancestor Hongjun once orchestrated Ragnarok, and we were deceived once, so naturally we have less trust in each other!"
The innate divine path is very strong. The strongest group of gods, such as those from the Nine Heavens, ascended to the Chaos, while some innate gods perished and became part of the Heavenly Dao.
The primordial deities who remained in the primordial world suffered heavy losses in the Ragnarok. The Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches were the strongest.
Nuwa, Fuxi, Taiyi, and others could no longer trust Hongjun.
Being scammed once is forgivable, being scammed a second time is just stupid, and being scammed a third time is beyond redemption.
Kunpeng's collaboration with the Primordial Ancestor to trick the gods into going to Buzhou Mountain for a decisive battle already had a bad reputation, which the Primordial Ancestor was well aware of.
The Yin-Yang Ancestor flirted and said, "Alas, I have important information to inform Brother Hongjun, concerning the True Saint of the Heavenly Dao!"
The demon master feigned shock and said, "Then we must take action. Senior, you may search elsewhere."
"Kunpeng, in the Northern Wilderness, only you can find Hongjun. After all, you are the city lord and tower master of Baiyujing. One of the nine Heavenly Venerables of the Immortal Path, the ancestor of demon immortals."
"Senior, I am merely a Great Luo Immortal."
对视
Confrontation
The Yin-Yang Ancestor wanted to take direct action, but he held back, knowing that defeating Kunpeng and capturing Kunpeng alive were not the same thing.
Even in his full glory, the Yin-Yang Ancestor was not confident in capturing Kunpeng alive, let alone now that he is seriously injured!
Seated atop the Demon Immortal Tower, Kunpeng possesses the combat power of a Great Luo Demon Immortal, equivalent to a Great Luo with two Dao Fruits.
Once the battle against the Primordial Quasi-Saint Yin-Yang Ancestor is initiated, it will be enough to delay until the Xuanwu Ancestor arrives.
"Kunpeng, can't you see? Xuanwu is consolidating the resources of the Northern Wilderness in his quest for the position of True Saint!"
The position of "True Saint of Heaven" is now vacant, a position coveted by powerful beings of the Primordial Chaos Era.
The progenitors of divine beasts, demons, Hongjun, Yangmei, Xuanhuang, and the various acquired divine progenitors of the [Palace of Gods] are all engaged in open and covert struggles.
The current situation is clear: the combined forces of the Divine Beast Ancestors hold the greatest advantage, but the question of who will seize the position of [True Saint] first remains an irreconcilable conflict.
The strongest ancestral dragon was most capable of reaching the top, but it was opposed by all the progenitors of divine beasts, and even by all the quasi-saints of the Primordial Chaos.
The weakest of the White Tiger progenitors had the least chance, not because it was the weakest, but because it was alone and unable to hold its own.
Kunpeng said lazily, "It's obvious that the Xuanwu Ancestor wants the position of [True Saint], but it's only slightly better than the Baihu Ancestor, so it's not yet in a position to take the throne."
The Yin-Yang Ancestor nodded and explained, "The Candlelight, the Qilin, the Phoenix, and the Three Dragon Ancestors are all stronger than the Black Tortoise Ancestor. Although the Black Tortoise was the first to unify the Northern Wilderness, it was almost impossible for him to succeed, but there are always exceptions!"
"Except for the Xuanwu Ancestor, who received assistance from the [Escaped One], or from a Chaos Treasure?"
The Great Dao of the Primordial Era is fifty, and the Heavenly Dao has evolved into forty-nine, with only one remaining unaccounted for.
The vanished is omnipresent, residing in the bodies of all the Great Luo Immortals and in the bodies of the Primordial Quasi-Saints.
In all things in heaven and earth, in any place, yet not in any one place, there is no living being.
The Heavenly Dao cannot find the One who has escaped, nor can the Nine Heavens True Saints find him. Therefore, the general trend of the primordial world cannot be changed, but the minor trends cannot be predetermined.
As for the Chaos Treasures, the typical example is the Three Treasures of Pangu, while the Three Treasures of Creation have already been shattered.
The Heaven-Opening Axe, the Creation Lotus, the Creation Jade Butterfly.
Three thousand chaotic demons challenged Pangu. In the past, when they besieged the great god Pangu, they only possessed three chaotic treasures, the whereabouts of which remain unknown to this day.
Listening to Kunpeng's words, the Yin-Yang Ancestor shook his head and said, "No, Xuanwu naturally does not have such support, but it was recognized by the Dragon Clan as the first to attempt to become a True Saint."
Kunpeng squinted and repeated, "Dragon race?"
The Yin-Yang Ancestor revealed the secret: "Yes, it is the Dragon Clan that supports the Xuanwu Ancestor. The three Dragon Ancestors cannot seek to become True Saints first, because they will definitely be opposed by all the Hunyuan Quasi-Saints."
"Senior, where did you get this information?"
"Alas, I heard it from the First Emperor!"
Kunpeng frowned and asked, "Ancestral Dragon, it's not difficult for this senior to know these things, so why is he telling you?"
"Kunpeng, do you believe me if I say that the Ancestral Dragon and I can cultivate together to break free from the shackles of the Dragon Gate?"
what?
Dual cultivation!
The Dragon Gate is the shackles of the ancestral dragon...
I don't understand, I don't comprehend, and I'm skeptical.
It's not impossible that the First Dragon and the Yin-Yang Ancestor got together, after all, dragons are fond of sex, and the Yin-Yang Ancestor is like that!
The relationships among these senior colleagues are truly complicated, and they've really played their games.
Kunpeng was skeptical. If the Ancestral Dragon was behind it all, then the Xuanwu Ancestor could really try to verify the identity of the [True Saint] first.
The Yin-Yang Ancestor said with a complicated expression, "When it comes to the position of [True Saint], the three Ancestral Dragons are unwilling to yield to each other, the Phoenix and the Phoenix are competing, and the Qilin is outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds. The Candle Illuminates the Dark Firefly and is unwilling to sacrifice itself to help another. Only the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise are the most suitable, as they do not have much internal strife."
The Demon Master reluctantly agreed, saying, "The White Tiger Ancestor hasn't finished unifying the Western Wilderness yet, so the Black Tortoise Ancestor is the most suitable, but isn't the Ancestral Dragon afraid of what might happen?"
The Yin-Yang Ancestor sighed, "The Ancestral Dragon said there's no 'what if.' It believes that at least a Primordial Quasi-Saint is needed to achieve the position of True Saint, so the Xuanwu Ancestor is bound to fail. The price the Dragon Clan pays for supporting Xuanwu is terrifying; if they fail afterward, the Xuanwu Clan will have to submit to the Dragon Clan."
Shocking
Amazing investment
The Ancestral Dragon's audacity was terrifying; it dared to gamble on the failure of the Xuanwu Ancestor to seek the "True Saint," thus forcing the Xuanwu Clan and the Northern Wilderness to submit to the Dragon Clan.
How could something like this be leaked?
Kunpeng's head started spinning. The Yin-Yang Ancestor's leak was intentional, but what about the Ancestral Dragon's leak?
Was it intentional or unintentional, that Hongjun was lured to attack Xuanwu?
The Yin-Yang Ancestor retorted unwillingly, "I want to see Hongjun. His reputation is better than that of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, and he even has Yangmei as an ally!"
Kunpeng pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, I'll take you to see the Three Pure Ones. Whether you can see Hongjun depends on luck."
"You can't find the Three Pure Ones, can you? I can't even find Hongjun. It's very difficult to find someone of the same generation and realm..."
a moment
The teleportation array is activated, and time and space coordinates flash.
After blinking
The Yin-Yang Ancestor arrived at a certain place in the Eastern Wilderness, and Randeng looked at the Hunyuan Quasi-Saint in astonishment!
"It's you, the vice leader of the Chan Sect, and the third vice leader of the Second Immortal Pavilion, the Heavenly Immortal Pavilion. What's your name again?"
Randeng roared, "Kunpeng Demon Master, you really did scheme against me!"
"Stop talking nonsense and take this ancestor to see the Three Pure Ones."
At the same time
The Demon Immortal Tower welcomes its second Quasi-Saint of Primordial Chaos.
When the Xuanwu Ancestor descended, all the demon immortals except for Kunpeng fainted.
Kunpeng bowed respectfully.
The Heavenly Emperor cut to the chase: "Kunpeng, I hope you will support my claim to the position of [True Saint]."
