Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation-Chapter 898 - 531: The Discussion Between Hong Jun and Di Jun (2)
Demon Ancestor Luo Hou serves as a point of reference.
During the Dao-Magic conflict, the cultivation realm of both was nearly identical, and their strengths were almost equal.
However, after Hongjun Taoist Ancestor merged with the Dao, the gap in their cultivation realms began to widen continuously.
Hongjun Taoist Ancestor’s talent and foundation were naturally extraordinary, yet he felt that compared to this Demon Emperor, his own talent and comprehension were perhaps quite ordinary.
According to what Hongjun Taoist Ancestor knew, although this Demon Emperor had deep connections with the Primordial, his various actions did not confine him too much within it.
He could be considered the most free and powerful Saint in the Primordial.
"Demon Emperor, please."
After Hongjun Taoist Ancestor spoke, the doors of the Purple Cloud Palace had somehow already opened, yet they kept endless Chaos Qi at bay outside.
Since Hao Tian and Turquoise Pool left the Purple Cloud Palace, its doors could no longer be guarded.
"With respect."
Di Jun said.
Subsequently, Demon Emperor Di Jun and Hongjun Taoist Ancestor stood shoulder to shoulder, stepping into the Purple Cloud Palace together, arriving at the place where Hongjun Taoist Ancestor had once imparted the Dao to all beings.
With a casual wave of Hongjun Taoist Ancestor’s hand, two yellow prayer mats appeared in the great hall.
"Demon Emperor, please."
"Daoist Ancestor, please."
The two sat cross-legged simultaneously, upright on the prayer mats.
"I don’t know why the Daoist Ancestor retained me?"
Demon Emperor Di Jun was the first to ask.
"Demon Emperor, do you still remember the agreement we made back then?"
Hongjun Taoist Ancestor did not answer Di Jun’s question but instead asked calmly.
Under such circumstances, Di Jun paused for a moment, gently furrowed his brow, and then said, "I naturally remember."
Back then, both wanted to explore the mysteries hidden by the human clan. Hongjun Taoist Ancestor, seeing Di Jun already scheming among the humans, then proposed this agreement.
Hongjun Taoist Ancestor started from the Heavenly Dao to explore the mysteries hidden within the human clan.
Demon Emperor Di Jun started from the human clan to seek out its hidden secrets.
Hongjun Taoist Ancestor gently nodded, and then continued, "I kept you here for this matter."
"Now that the Heavenly Dao has changed, under its suppression, the Human Dao has also changed."
"Should we exchange the information we’ve gathered to see what secrets are truly hidden within the human clan?"
Di Jun, listening to Hongjun Taoist Ancestor’s words, immediately replied, "Indeed, it is so."
The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously waved their hands, causing two scenes to appear in the Purple Cloud Palace.
The scene Di Jun saw was of Hongjun Taoist Ancestor continuously deducing the human clan’s destiny within the Heavenly Dao, involving various clues about the human clan.
Hongjun Taoist Ancestor was deducing within the Heavenly Dao, attempting to trace the origin of the human clan’s destiny.
But suddenly, one day, the clues he was deducing broke off unexpectedly, with no warning, very abruptly.
The things he had previously deduced about the human clan still existed, but they were stuck at this point. No matter how hard Hongjun Taoist Ancestor tried, he could not get past it.
Unwilling to accept this, he tried deducing again, but this time he did not deduce the human clan’s destiny but rather the traces of human race creatures within the Heavenly Dao.
However, such a deduction still led to the same result, reaching the same point where the clues broke off.
Within the Primordial Heavenly Dao, he could not advance further, only circle at this point, as if this were the source.
But both Hongjun Taoist Ancestor and Demon Emperor Di Jun knew that this was not the source, nor the hidden location of the human clan’s mysteries.
Yet, all the deductions led here, confirming one thing: this might be a path to explore the hidden mysteries of the human clan, unfortunately, it was a dead end, cut off.
All the attempts made by Hongjun Taoist Ancestor were displayed in this scene, yet they bore no fruit.
Seeing this scene, Demon Emperor Di Jun instantly recalled the points of break he encountered in his process of exploring, which were very familiar and very similar.
And what he showed Hongjun was the scene when he continuously explored the human clan’s destiny.
How similar!
As Hongjun Taoist Ancestor watched, he too felt a sense of familiarity.
It’s as if every point leading to the hidden secrets of the human clan is cut off to some degree.
The two exchanged a glance, simultaneously pondering in their hearts.
No, this isn’t a break.
The hidden secrets can influence the human clan in the Primordial World, as well as the Primordial World.
What’s severed is merely the path tracing upwards from the Primordial World, or perhaps the humans in the Primordial World cannot influence those hidden secrets.
Upon realizing this, both Hongjun Taoist Ancestor and Demon Emperor Di Jun fell silent, and the entire Purple Cloud Palace was very quiet, save for the two scenes playing continuously.
After a long period, Demon Emperor Di Jun waved his hand gently, making the scene he displayed vanish.
Seeing this, Hongjun Taoist Ancestor lightly waved the Buddha dust in his hand, and the scene he displayed also vanished.
"Daoist Ancestor, the key lies still within the human clan. If the destiny of the human clan is strong enough, the severed path will keep extending, and one day, it will cross the void and find the origin."
Demon Emperor Di Jun looked at Hongjun Taoist Ancestor and said seriously.
Recalling the scenes where Di Jun’s heart and mind were constantly extinguished, Hongjun Taoist Ancestor couldn’t help asking, "Even if that broken path reconnects, can the Demon Emperor withstand the Human Dao power?"
Before Demon Emperor Di Jun could reply, Hongjun Taoist Ancestor continued, "I think the key still lies with the Heavenly Dao."
"I have a hypothesis: the Human Dao and the Heavenly Dao are the same, independent yet entangled, and a part of the Human Dao is currently under the Heavenly Dao."
"The recent changes between Humanity and the Heavenly Dao illustrate this point."
Without insisting on an explanation, Demon Emperor Di Jun gently nodded, acknowledging Hongjun Taoist Ancestor’s words.
"What does the Daoist Ancestor intend?"
Di Jun asked, looking at Hongjun Taoist Ancestor.
"If our Primordial Heavenly Dao is strong enough, it can naturally encompass the Human Dao. At that time, all the hidden secrets within the Human Dao will reveal themselves."
Hongjun Taoist Ancestor spoke calmly.
Upon hearing Hongjun Taoist Ancestor’s words, Di Jun’s eyes lowered.
If it weren’t for all indicators showing that the being in front of him was indeed Hongjun Taoist Ancestor, Di Jun would have thought the Primordial Heavenly Dao himself was controlling this body.
"Increasing the human clan’s destiny is something we can still influence, but how should we proceed to enhance the Primordial Heavenly Dao?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
"This, the Demon Emperor should know better than I. The Celestial Heaven Star Formation and the Four Symbols Pillars originated from the Demon Emperor’s hand."
Pausing for a moment, Hongjun Taoist Ancestor continued, "Moreover, increasing the human clan’s destiny might be difficult to achieve."
"During this struggle between Heaven and Man, Humanity is suppressed by the Primordial Heavenly Dao. Under such circumstances, it could be exceedingly difficult to enhance the human clan’s destiny."
"Moreover, with the development of the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao has been constantly growing stronger. Sooner or later, it will be able to encompass the Human Dao."
Hongjun Taoist Ancestor’s words were firm.
When he realized that the path to exploring the human clan was broken, regardless of approaching from the human clan or the Heavenly Dao, he abandoned that notion.
He explored the human clan’s mysteries to free himself from the constraints of the Heavenly Dao and the state of merging with the Dao.
Since the human clan couldn’t offer reference, he’d follow his original plan and step by step disengage.
According to Pangu God’s legacy, each enhancement of the Primordial Heavenly Dao allowed him to use a secret technique to gain more freedom.
He didn’t know why Di Jun wanted to explore the mysteries of the human clan, but he could guide him using the human clan to enhance the Heavenly Dao.
Di Jun’s various behaviors instilled great confidence in Hongjun Taoist Ancestor toward him.
Di Jun listened to Hongjun Taoist Ancestor but remained silent, puzzled as to why Hongjun Taoist Ancestor wanted to enhance the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
Compared to enhancing the Primordial Heavenly Dao, strengthening the human clan’s destiny was evidently simpler.
Hongjun Taoist Ancestor was not in a hurry, waiting quietly.
After a long time, Di Jun finally said, "Since the Daoist Ancestor and I each hold our views, why not act according to our initial agreement?"
