N-A-A Chapter 923 Gu Changqing is calm and collected, Hongjun is proud and aloof!
Chapter 923 Gu Changqing is calm and collected, Hongjun is proud and aloof!
The pupils of the three sages suddenly contracted!
This invincible "Illuminating All Heavens" divine power, which could even deceive the Heavenly Dao, actually... failed?!
how can that be!
This result was clearly beyond their expectations.
Just as the three of them were in shock and instinctively looked at Gu Changqing.
On the other hand, unlike their shock...
At this moment, Gu Changqing's look of astonishment flashed by.
Then, things seemed quite calm.
He shook his head, as if trying to sober up, and then, with a mix of drunkenness and confusion, he muttered to himself.
"Oh?"
"Uh... does this mean they're on guard?"
Is this a sign of preparedness?
Gu Changqing's casual self-talk sounded to the three sages like a thunderclap from the heavens!
Are they on guard?
What does that mean?
Did he foresee that this invincible supernatural power would one day fail?
The three beings who stood at the pinnacle of the primordial world—the Tongtian Sect Leader, Nuwa, and Houtu—had their minds completely blank at this moment.
They envisioned countless possibilities.
Perhaps Gu Changqing will be injured due to the backlash of his supernatural powers.
Perhaps, he will become solemn because he has discovered some earth-shattering secret.
But what they never expected was that Gu Changqing would react so calmly and nonchalantly!
It was as if his supernatural powers had failed, which was entirely within his expectations.
Or perhaps this spell was a test?
Unlike the three saints who were utterly horrified, Gu Changqing himself did not react much.
Not bad.
He wasn't surprised at all.
The great supernatural power of reflecting the heavens seems to be able to see through the past and the future, and know everything.
But he had already used it once before, outside the Zixiao Palace.
Having learned from that experience, how could Hongjun and those ancient Chaos Demon Gods, with their cunning and deep-seated schemes, not be wary?
With their extraordinary abilities that align with the laws of heaven and control creation, it would be no difficult task for them to set up targeted restrictions to prevent their detection.
Therefore, failure is the most normal outcome.
If everything went smoothly and the scene inside the Purple Cloud Palace was reflected directly, that would be truly bizarre.
but……
Whether or not it succeeds is no longer important.
Gu Changqing shook his still somewhat dizzy head, then picked up the purple-gold gourd and took a satisfying swig.
This result alone speaks volumes.
It could render his divine power, which transcends the Three Thousand Great Daos, ineffective, and prevent him from even realizing how the other party was blocking it.
Looking across the entire prehistoric world, who else could it be but the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who was high above and in harmony with the Heavenly Dao?
Or rather, Hongjun's attempt to cover up the truth already indicates that the Xuanmen sect has something to hide.
The answer is self-evident.
Inside Biyou Palace, there was a deathly silence.
The slight farce caused by the earlier comment that "women are such a hassle" has completely dissipated.
Instead, there was a deeper, colder, deathly silence.
The Tongtian Sect Leader opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
He looked at his apprentice and felt a chill run down his spine.
After all that, it turns out this kid wasn't courting death, nor was he flirting with the female saint.
He simply and effortlessly locked down the biggest suspect in a way that no one expected!
This effortless mastery, this effortless manipulation of even sages...
Just outrageous!
Meanwhile, Nuwa and Houtu finally recovered from their extreme shock.
They exchanged a glance.
They both saw in each other's reactions the undisguised solemnity and... a hint of bitterness.
The truth is clear.
Although there is no direct evidence, the failure of the supernatural powers is the best evidence!
It was Hongjun!
It was that Xuanmen leader, who spread his teachings throughout the world and was revered as the Dao Ancestor, who was secretly stirring up cause and effect, intending to overthrow the primordial world!
This realization made the aura of the two female saints, who already cared deeply for the common people, even colder.
Suppressed!
An immense sense of oppression, a rare occurrence, filled the heart of a saint!
They can contend with the will of Heaven and fight against sages.
But this time, the opponent is Hongjun! He is Nuwa and Tongtian's nominal teacher! And also the true representative of the Heavenly Dao!
More importantly, the cost of this gamble was far too high!
Hongjun and the others have staked the entire world on this!
If we fail, the consequences will be unimaginable!
The difficulty of this struggle exceeded their initial expectations.
"It seems..."
After a long while, Nuwa broke the silence, and the intertwined power of creation and annihilation around her slowly subsided.
"We should also make preparations as soon as possible and deduce the method to stabilize the primordial cause and effect."
There's no point in saying more now that things have come to this.
Now that we've identified the enemy, the next step is to figure out how to deal with them.
Houtu nodded solemnly upon hearing this.
The illusory image of the Six Paths of Reincarnation behind her slowly faded away, and the power of the Earth returned to calm.
"good."
That single word represented her unwavering determination.
No matter how treacherous the road ahead, no matter how powerful the opponent, they have no way to retreat.
In an instant, the atmosphere inside Biyou Palace became extremely solemn.
The three sages, representing the Jie Sect, the Human Path, and the Earth Path, reached a true consensus at this moment and formed an unbreakable alliance.
however.
This was a momentous occasion that could determine the future of the primordial world.
In the corner, the instigator who had acted like an outsider from beginning to end made a new move.
Gu Changqing let out a long hiccup, his eyes still blurry with drunkenness, and his gaze pierced through the dome of Biyou Palace, looking up at the endless sky above the thirty-three heavens.
He seemed to be looking at something, yet he also seemed to be looking at nothing at all.
He murmured to himself in a very low voice that only he could hear, with a hint of drunkenness and a hint of searching.
"I don't know either..."
"Uh……"
"Is the Great Cause and Effect Technique, one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, effective?"
……
Meanwhile.
Deep within the chaos, in the Purple Cloud Palace.
This place remains eternally quiet and deathly still.
Hongjun, Chaos Ancestor, and Laozi Yuanshi all sat quietly in Zixiao Palace with their eyes slightly closed.
But at one moment, Hongjun's expression shifted slightly.
Then, he slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, Hongjun was no longer as furious and gloomy as before.
His eyes were calm, as if he had regained the majesty and solemnity of being the representative of the Heavenly Dao!
There is no emotion in it, only endless Tao and reason intertwined, and the scenes of the birth and death of the universe and the changing of eras are flowing.
This is the true Heavenly Dao, Hongjun!
He seemed to sense something, and slightly turned his head to look in the direction of the primordial world.
More accurately, they were looking in the direction of the Jie Sect.
A cold laugh also came from his mouth.
"Hmph, Gu Changqing..."
"Do you really think that your little bit of supernatural power is invincible in the world, leaving even me helpless?"
