Honghuang: I, Huanglong, refine the heavens and do not join the Chan sect

Chapter 117 Tianyang's identity, the pressure doubled
"I am indeed short of some people who can run away. You have Bai Ze's recommendation. If you want to become my disciple, it is not impossible."

Since the four spirit ghosts of gold, wood, fire and earth have been driven away, it may arouse Hongjun's suspicion.

On the contrary, taking them into Yunmeng Fairy Island can avoid arousing suspicion and will not expose one's own secrets.

If after the establishment of the underworld, it is confirmed that the four clans of ghosts of gold, wood, fire and earth have no relationship with Hongjun.

They can also be asked to help build the underworld, increase the underworld's influence in the prehistoric world, and enhance the underworld's authority. It is really a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

After a pause, Huang Long continued:

"But you must remember, once you become my disciple, you must not cause trouble without reason, commit murder without reason, or seek to create karma. You must not bully your master and destroy your clan!"

"If you violate this, you will be confined to reflect on your mistakes at the very least, or be killed physically and spiritually at the worst. Do you understand?"

"Please rest assured, sir. We will keep it in mind!"

Without any hesitation, the four tribes of ghost spirits nodded excitedly.

Although it was the first time they saw Huang Long, it was not the first time they heard of Huang Long's name.

Looking at the entire Heavenly Court, Huang Long was the only one who dared to kill a Daluo Jinxian in front of Dong Wanggong and others at the feast of the Heavenly Court, and was able to escape unscathed in the end.

Afterwards, the Immortal Court issued a huge reward for the arrest of Huang Long. However, thousands of years passed and no trace of Huang Long was found.

Although the Immortal Court has now been destroyed, it is undeniable that it was once a giant in the prehistoric world.

Even if one has the strength to kill Hei Ze, few people dare to do it in the Immortal Court in front of the East Palace, and finally escape safely and remain unscathed under the pursuit of the Immortal Court.

Just based on such achievements, Huang Long gained a good reputation in the Heavenly Court.

In addition, all the monsters in heaven knew that Huanglong and Donghuang Taiyi had a very good relationship.

Thousands of years ago, at a banquet held by the demon clan to celebrate the establishment of the Heavenly Court, Bai Mi's cultivation level was only that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

However, as Huang Long's disciple, he was able to enter the reception area specially used for receiving Daluo Jinxian and was given an innate Wutong fruit.

It is said that after the battle of the Nine Heavens, Bai Mi took away another innate Wutong fruit, which was given to Huang Long by Donghuang Taiyi.

It can be seen how deep the friendship between Huang Long and Donghuang Taiyi is. Being able to become his disciple is something that many people wish for.

Now that they saw Huang Long nodding in agreement, how could they possibly refuse?
Huang Long did not pay attention to what the four tribes of spirits and ghosts were thinking, and asked them to swear an oath.

He brought them into the Yunmeng Fairy Island and placed them in four different locations according to the five elements. After explaining some precautions, he flew towards the Yunyin Taoist Temple.

"Master? You're back!"

As soon as Huang Long's figure landed in the Yunyin Taoist Temple, the three little ones who were basking in the sun on the roof were stunned at first, then showed a look of joy, hurriedly jumped down from the roof, and ran to Huang Long excitedly.

"Master, you are finally back. If you hadn't come back, we would have gone out to look for you!"

Huang Long: ...

If I hadn't seen you all leisurely lying on the rooftop, basking in the sun and eating spiritual fruits, I would have almost believed this...

Huang Long shook his head helplessly, looked at Bai Mi and asked:
"What did you gain from your trip this time? When did you return to Yunmeng Fairy Island? Did you encounter any danger?"

"Not long after I attended the Heavenly Court Banquet on Sun Star, I returned to Yunmeng Star Island. It's been many years since I came back, and I haven't been playing around outside."

Huang Long: ???
Sun Star? What's this?

How did Bai Mi end up on the Sun Star? How could he just go to such a troubled place? It was really unsafe.

Didn’t I give her the travel route? How could she have traveled to the Sun Star? Could something have happened during the travel?
Without waiting for Huang Longkai to ask, Bai Mi raised her little head, revealing her neck as white as jade.

"Master, Master, I'm on the Sun Star, and I brought you some good things."

As he spoke, Bai Mi took out two wooden boxes from his sleeves and opened them in front of Huang Long.

In the wooden box on the left, there is a fiery red fruit.

Even just by watching, Huang Long gained many insights into the Great Way of Fire and the Great Way of the Sun.

Huang Long had a hunch that if he ate this fruit, and with the accumulation of these years, he might be able to comprehend 50% of the Great Dao of Fire, and let the seed of the Great Dao of Fire break its shell and sprout!
Even on Sun Avenue, there can be certain breakthroughs.

But this was not what surprised him the most. When he looked at the wooden box on the right, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

This wooden box contains a spiritual fruit that looks exactly the same.

However, the aura of the great Dao of this spiritual fruit is even stronger and its age is also even older.

Although the aura of the Great Dao is different, the feeling that this innate Wutong fruit gives Huang Long is very similar to the yellow plum that the Queen Mother of the West traded to him.

In other words, this spiritual fruit is most likely the first batch of fruits produced by a top-grade innate spiritual root since the creation of the world.

Even for the powerful ones in the late stage of Golden Immortal or even the perfect stage, this fruit is of great value. It may be able to help them to further improve their cultivation. It can be said to be a precious spiritual treasure that can be encountered by chance but not sought after.

In addition, the spiritual fruit contains the rich avenue of fire and the avenue of the sun, and the white rice is obtained from the sun star.
Huang Long was soon guessed that these two spiritual fruits were most likely the innate Wutong fruits produced by the top-grade innate spiritual root - the innate Wutong tree.

What puzzled Huang Long was that even the young innate Wutong fruit was a treasure of Heaven, which some Golden Immortals might not even be able to get their hands on.

Bai Mi is only a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Even if she could attend the banquet in Heaven, it would be impossible for her to get such precious spiritual fruit.

Not to mention that among these two innate Wutong fruits, one is the first batch of innate Wutong fruits produced after the creation of the world.

But Huang Long's doubts did not last long, and he heard Bai Mi explain:

"The Xiantian Wutong Fruit on the left was given to me by Uncle Bai Ze, and the one on the right was given to me by Uncle Dong Huang..."

"Wait a minute, let me slow down a bit."

Huang Long's face showed a look of shock and confusion.

Huang Long could barely understand Bai Ze sending him a Xiantian Wutong fruit. After all, he had sent the four tribes of gold, wood, fire, and earth spirit ghosts. Even the earliest water ghost tribe might have been arranged by Bai Ze. Although he didn't know what Bai Ze's purpose was, it was not difficult to see that Bai Ze was showing goodwill. So it seemed reasonable for Bai Ze to send another Xiantian Wutong fruit to deepen their friendship.

But Donghuang Taiyi is the most powerful ruler in the Heavenly Court, and he has no friendship with him. Why did he give him such a precious innate Wutong fruit?

If I were to say who I know among the demon clan, it would be Tianyang.

Thinking of this, Huang Long suddenly had a bold idea.

Is it possible...

This is unlikely. Who is Donghuang Taiyi? Why would he steal spiritual fruits with me at the fairy palace banquet and travel around the prehistoric world secretly with me?
Although this seemed unlikely no matter how you looked at it, but considering what Chang Xi and the others had said, plus this first batch of innate Wutong fruit, he felt that it was not impossible.

After a moment of silence, Huang Long took a deep breath and asked:

"The uncle Donghuang you are talking about is Donghuang Taiyi?"

"Yes, yes!"

Bai Mi nodded, and looked at Huang Long with eyes full of admiration.

"Master, you are so amazing. When I was in the West, I was stopped by two quasi-saints, Jie Yin and Zhunti, who wanted me to join the West and help them repair the earth veins."

"I thought I would never come back this time, but I didn't expect that I just shook the bronze bell that my grandfather gave me, and Uncle Tianyang, also known as Donghuang Taiyi, appeared next to me in an instant, scaring Jie Yin and Zhunti."

"Then I crushed the stone and summoned Sister Hou Tu as well."

"Finally, under the joint pressure from Uncle Donghuang and Sister Houtu, Jieyin and Zhunti had no choice but to take out a few innate spiritual treasures as compensation with gloomy faces."

Huang Long: ...

Well, there is no need to ask anymore, it is confirmed that Tianyang is Donghuang Taiyi.

But why would Donghuang Taiyi, the ruler of the demon race, want to steal Taiyi Jinxian's spiritual fruits with me in Taiyi Jinxian's reception area?
Then you ignore the expansion of the Temple of the Sun and wander around the prehistoric world with me?
Perhaps this is what a strong person is like. There is no need to have any scruples and just follow your heart.

Huang Long sighed helplessly. If Tianyang was just a Daluo Jinxian in the Heavenly Court, even if he was a perfect Daluo Jinxian, as long as everything went well, he would be sure to save Tianyang's life in the war between the wizards and the demons.

But if Tianyang is Donghuang Taiyi, then he is not sure he can save Donghuang Taiyi in the war between the wizards and the demons.

The four overlords of the demon clan and the twelve ancestor witches of the witch clan had long been listed on Hongjun's kill list.

Only because Nuwa created human beings and became a saint, and Houtu transformed into reincarnation and severed ties with the demon and witch clans, were they able to save their lives.

Even after Nuwa became a saint, she could only protect a wisp of Fuxi's soul and let it enter reincarnation with all her might. As for Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, no one could protect them.

Even if Huang Long's plan went smoothly, on the eve of the war between wizards and liches, he could become a true saint and prevent Hou Tu from being suppressed by the way of heaven, so that she could have more power and exert stronger combat power.

It would also be difficult to save some of the Witch Lord's people and rescue Donghuang Taiyi at the same time with Hongjun's intervention.

However, if Donghuang Taiyi can be saved and become another authentic saint in the future, with the combination of yin and yang, the underground will have more power, and the strength of the authentic saints in the prehistoric world will also increase.

As for saving Di Jun in the war between the wizards and the liches, Huang Long had never thought about it. He knew very well that this was not something he could do at all.

Huang Long has no idea how to save Donghuang Taiyi, so how can he think about saving Di Jun?

Moreover, even if he is sure to protect Donghuang Taiyi in the future, he will not interfere with Di Jun's life or death, and he still has to give face to Hongjun.

If the four overlords of the demon clan had not died in the war between wizards and liches, several of the twelve ancestor wizards of the wizard clan would have survived.

So how would Hongjun proceed with his next plan? How could he allow such a thing to happen? If it went wrong, he would use the power of Heaven to forcibly correct the matter.

"Let's talk about everything after I become a saint..."

Huang Long sighed, put the matter deep in his heart and didn't think about it anymore.

If one cannot achieve the Hun Yuan fruition and become a genuine saint, no matter how brilliant a method one comes up with, one will not have the strength to implement it.

The current top priority is to practice the Eight-Nine Profound Art as soon as possible, strive to become a quasi-sage as soon as possible, push open the door to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal, see the scenery behind the door, and increase the chances of breakthrough in the method of proving the Tao through merit.

After becoming a saint, your vision will be broadened, and you will have a better understanding of the great way of heaven and earth and the ancient world. Then, you will be able to gain more by thinking about these issues again.

Then, Huang Long took the two wooden boxes from Bai Mi's hands.

On the premise that one's cultivation level has not fallen behind, this top-grade innate spiritual fruit, even if it has not been refined into source liquid, can greatly increase the speed of practicing the Eight-Nine Profound Art.

"It would be great if I had a top-grade innate spiritual root like a phoenix tree or a yellow plum..."

Huang Long shook his head with a little regret. In his sleeves, there was a large amount of life source fluid.

If he had a paulownia tree or a top-grade innate spiritual root such as the Huangzhongli, he could greatly shorten the maturation time of the top-grade innate spiritual fruit with the help of these life source fluids.

With enough top-grade innate spiritual fruits, Huang Long's speed in practicing the Eight-Nine Profound Art will be faster, and he can practice to the third level earlier, possessing a cultivation base comparable to that of a quasi-saint, thus opening the door to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

If he could become a quasi-saint one day earlier and see the scenery after becoming a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and wait for the day when infinite merits would descend, Huang Long would have a greater chance of achieving the Hunyuan fruition through the method of becoming a saint through merits.

Unfortunately, looking throughout the entire prehistoric world, there are only a few top-grade innate spiritual roots. Some of them are hidden in unknown places and have not yet been born, or they are already owned by someone. Even if Huang Long wants to find one, he doesn't know where to start.

Huang Long did not feel lost for too long. He was always very clear-headed and understood that everything depends on chance.

If the opportunity has not arrived, even if he kills the current owner of the top-grade innate spiritual root, he may not be able to obtain that top-grade innate spiritual root.

If the opportunity comes, perhaps after he travels in the prehistoric world, a top-grade innate spiritual root will come to him.

Huang Long quickly adjusted his mentality and asked Bai Mi to recount in detail his experiences when he traveled in the wild a few years ago.

When Bai Mi told the story of how a strange wind blew her from the coast of the West Sea to the vicinity of Mount Buzhou, Huang Long couldn't help but frown.

He always felt that something was not right. Even the wind-blown banana leaves of the banana tree today would probably not be able to do such a thing.

Bai Mi didn't know what Huang Long was thinking. She continued to tell her story. When she talked about how she left Buzhou Mountain and Hou Tu asked her to pass something to Huang Long, she took out a box from her sleeve and handed it to him.
