Chapter 19 The Rogue Pixiu, Hongjun's Shock
Upon hearing this, Tianlu inwardly sneered.
Should the Creation Lotus be surrendered?
The treasure that went inside the Pixiu's belly, does it still want to vomit it out?
Dream on!
Relying on his status as a favorite of the Great Dao, Tianlu's inherent unbridled nature instantly erupted.
Instead of backing down, he refuted them with righteous indignation.
"Immortal Ancestor, you are mistaken! If this Creation Lotus truly has a predetermined destiny, then that destiny must be mine, Tianlu!"
"I've already seized this opportunity, and even refined all thirty-six innate restrictions. Whose opportunity is it if not mine?"
Tianlu got more and more excited as he spoke, raising his chin high and looking smug.
"Moreover, in the primordial world, opportunities and good fortune have always prevailed, and those with ability have obtained them!"
"I, Tianlu, am the number one Pixiu in the world, a lucky beast recognized by heaven and earth, bringing wealth and prosperity!"
"Wherever I go, that place becomes a blessed land; whatever I set my sights on becomes my good fortune!"
"Those so-called destined people who can't hold onto their opportunities are simply unlucky!"
"Having their opportunity stolen by this auspicious beast is, in effect, shielding them from disaster; it's their honor!"
"They've received such an incredible blessing; they should be thanking me!"
Tianlu rattled off his twisted and fallacious theories, his shameless and self-righteous demeanor showcasing the ultimate expression of robber logic.
Hongjun stood there, listening to Tianlu's utterly shameless remarks and looking at his utterly despicable face, his eyes twitching slightly involuntarily.
He had lived through so many eras and seen arrogant and domineering people, but he had never seen anyone so shameless yet able to speak so elegantly.
Hongjun knew that reasoning with this stubborn person was pointless; the little Pixiu was determined not to hand over the Creation Lotus.
Since words are useless, the only option is to use force to suppress them.
A cold glint flashed in Hongjun's eyes, but just as he was about to make his move, an extremely strong sense of life-or-death crisis suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart.
In the darkness, an extremely terrifying backlash hung above his head.
It was as if if he dared to harbor even the slightest murderous intent towards this Pixiu, unspeakable calamity would befall him, and even the Heavenly Dao could not protect him.
Hongjun was greatly alarmed and quickly dispersed the magical power he had gathered.
He was filled with doubt; what exactly was going on?
How could someone with the cultivation of a peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal feel such fear towards a beast in the mid-stage of a Daluo Golden Immortal?
Without making a sound, he secretly activated the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc by forming hand seals within his sleeves.
Profound laws of the heavens flowed from his fingertips, and countless lines of cause and effect intertwined in the deduction.
Could this Pixiu be the one that escaped?
Is it an anomaly that transcends the laws of nature?
"That's not right..."
Hongjun frowned, secretly calculating in his mind.
"If one of them is omitted, the secrets of heaven should be in complete chaos, impossible to deduce at all."
"But I can clearly deduce the origins of this little Pixiu. It is the first Pixiu in the world, and not some indescribable being."
Just as Hongjun was racking his brains trying to figure it out, the light from the Creation Jade Disc suddenly touched a trace of Tianlu's soul's essence.
In an instant, a supreme, ancient, and boundless aura surged forth from the causal line of deduction, striking directly into Hongjun's mind.
Wait, what is that aura?!
Hongjun's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart was filled with shock.
He sensed a trace of the Great Dao emanating from this smug little Pixiu.
As the reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God who was once born in chaos and wielded the laws of immortality, Hongjun was extremely familiar with this aura.
Upon careful reflection, wasn't this very pure aura of the Great Dao emanating from Pangu when he wielded the Heaven-Opening Axe to shatter chaos and slay three thousand demon gods in the primordial chaos?
Hongjun gasped, and came to a conclusion that sent chills down his spine.
"This Pixiu is actually the second-generation Child of the Great Dao, a true darling of the Great Dao?!"
Hongjun's heart was in turmoil, and he could not calm down for a long time.
The Great Dao recedes into the shadows, and the Heavenly Dao shall rise; this is the ironclad law of the primordial world.
But who could have imagined that before the Great Dao retreated into the depths of chaos, it would leave behind such a heaven-defying anomaly?
No wonder the Heavenly Dao hesitated to strike with the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, and no wonder that I, a dignified peak Primordial Golden Immortal holding a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation, felt a fatal crisis the moment I had the thought of killing.
The other party's background is not within the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao at all, but is directly protected by the Great Dao.
Tianlu watched Hongjun stare blankly for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
He didn't have time to stand there staring at Hongjun.
This vast and boundless world is full of unclaimed opportunities and spiritual roots, waiting for this auspicious beast to grace it with its presence and bestow blessings. There's no time to waste here.
"Immortal Ancestor, if you have nothing else to do, this auspicious beast will take its leave."
"I have to go and deliver blessings to all living beings in the primordial world, I don't have time to just stare at you like this."
Tianlu curled his lip, pushed off with his four claws, and rode the mid-grade innate spiritual treasure cloud beneath his feet, intending to bypass Hongjun and continue flying towards Buzhou Mountain.
"Wait a moment, young friend!"
Seeing that Tianlu was about to leave, Hongjun instantly snapped out of his shock, his figure transforming into a streak of light, and once again blocked Tianlu's path.
Since forceful suppression was not an option and the rules of Heaven could not restrain this Pixiu, the only option was to reason with it and offer it benefits.
"Young friend, the twenty-fourth grade Creation Lotus is a predetermined number in the operation of the Heavenly Dao, and it is involved in the great cause and effect of the future primordial world."
"It is inappropriate for you to claim it as your own and forcibly change the number of days."
"With such immense karmic burdens, even with your great fortune, you will inevitably face setbacks in the future."
"How about this? I'll exchange a supreme spiritual treasure for the Creation Lotus."
Hongjun patiently and earnestly tried to persuade him.
Upon hearing the word "exchange," Tianlu was immediately delighted. He looked Hongjun up and down, his eyes full of doubt.
"Exchange? What will you exchange it for?"
"That's a twenty-fourth-grade Creation Lotus, a supreme treasure containing the complete laws of creation!"
"What treasures could an Immortal Ancestor possess that could compare to my Creation Lotus?"
"Even if you truly possessed a treasure of that caliber, would you be willing to exchange it for something else?"
Faced with Tianlu's barrage of questions and disdainful gaze, Hongjun took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to slap the brat to death.
With a wave of his sleeve, he instantly created a chorus of Buddhist chants and a fragrant aroma in the air.
A lotus flower, radiating endless, dazzling golden light, slowly drifted out from his sleeve and floated in mid-air.
This lotus flower has twelve petals, and its entire body is as if cast in gold. Each petal is engraved with incomparably profound innate Dao patterns.
As soon as it appeared in the world, a vast golden light of merit shot into the sky, dyeing the sky for tens of thousands of miles around a sacred gold.
In the void, there were faint, strange phenomena such as flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses emerging from the earth, accompanied by a terrifying aura that was impervious to all laws and suppressed all heavens.
