What Hongyun never expected was that the cushion he gave up would later turn into such a coveted item.
Six cushions meant six Saint positions.
It represented the qualification to become a disciple of Ancestor Hongjun, to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and to become a heavenly dao saint.
It was imaginable what kind of hatred Kunpeng, who was implicated by him and lost his cushion, harbored towards him.
That was the hatred of obstructing his Dao.
An irreconcilable hatred!
Later, during Hongjun's third sermon, Hongyun fortunately obtained another strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi.
He became the only mighty figure to possess Hongmeng Purple Qi, apart from the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti, who were destined Saints.
But despite all these years, the Three Pure Ones and the others had successively attained Dao.
Although he carried the treasure, he had never refined it and could not find his Opportunity to become a Saint.
It was precisely because of this that he argued with Zhenyuanzi.
He wanted to go out and seek Opportunity, while Zhenyuanzi tried to dissuade him, saying there were many dangers outside.
They disagreed.
Hongyun left in anger.
But now, Hongyun regretted it.
He shouldn't have come out.
Just as Zhenyuanzi said, it was too dangerous outside, and even more unluckily, he was the first to encounter Kunpeng.
He was injured by Kunpeng.
Unable to defeat him, he had no choice but to flee, as it was impossible to give up the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
And especially not to Kunpeng?
If he didn't give it to Kunpeng, he might still have a chance to live.
If he gave it to Kunpeng, he would definitely have no chance of survival!
After all, even if Kunpeng didn't kill him now, if Kunpeng obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi, refined it, and attained Dao.
After becoming a Saint, Kunpeng would definitely kill him first!
Fortunately, Hongyun's escape light was fast enough that Kunpeng could never catch up.
The two chased and fled, both moving extremely fast, which instead stunned the other mighty figures who also wanted to snatch it.
They suddenly realized that although Hongyun had left Five Villages Temple, they simply couldn't catch Hongyun.
Moreover, it wasn't a matter of whether they could catch him or not.
It was that they couldn't even touch Hongyun's shadow!
One day, in Hongyun's sight, his Dao field, Fire Cloud Cave, was already close at hand.
He had been chased by Kunpeng, fleeing all the way, and his magical power was greatly depleted.
He intended to return to his Dao field and then rely on the Dao field's Formation.
Although it was not comparable to Zhenyuanzi's Innate Earth Great Array formed by the Earth Book, it was certainly enough to deal with Kunpeng.
However, just at this moment, as Hongyun's escape light was about to rush into Fire Cloud Cave.
Suddenly—
Hongyun only felt as if the world had turned upside down.
He had been pulled into a Formation space.
At his doorstep.
He was about to enter.
Caught off guard, he was ambushed.
"Rumble!"
Hongyun fell into this Formation, only feeling a chaotic and extremely hazy expanse within it.
Various scenes, real and illusory, changed endlessly.
His expression changed involuntarily.
This Formation is so powerful!
He unleashed his Quasi-Saint Divine Ability, striking fiercely, but the force seemed to hit cotton.
It simply couldn't break through the Formation.
Moreover, at this moment, within the Formation, two figures appeared side by side.
This made Hongyun's face turn even paler.
Because the ones who appeared before him were two other mighty figures from the Heavenly Court—Emperor Jun and Taiyi.
Demon Emperor Emperor Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
"Fellow Daoists, are you also here to stand up for Kunpeng and snatch my Hongmeng Purple Qi?"
Hongyun knew he was beyond hope and spoke with a bitter voice.
In his eyes, a look of determination appeared.
Emperor Jun and Taiyi were slightly startled at his words, shook their heads, and then nodded.
Taiyi, holding the Chaos Bell in his hand, looked arrogant, gazing down at Hongyun.
And Emperor Jun smiled faintly, saying, "Fellow Daoist Hongyun is partly right, but not entirely so."
"We are indeed here for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, but not to stand up for the Demon Master."
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, you have comprehended the Hongmeng Purple Qi for so many years, yet you have not attained Dao. It is clear that you have no affinity with the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Why not hand it over to me?"
"I can guarantee Fellow Daoist's safety and am willing to mediate between Fellow Daoist and the Demon Master!"
Emperor Jun promised, his tone also revealing an intention to recruit Hongyun.
Although the Heavenly Court now had Nuwa, a Yao Race Saint, who had attained Dao, its strength had greatly increased on the surface.
But in reality, the Heavenly Court was already in imminent danger.
If there was an Opportunity, Emperor Jun naturally wanted to win over more powerful individuals.
For example, if Hongyun agreed to join the Heavenly Court, it would naturally be a great advantage.
Emperor Jun's sincere tone actually moved Hongyun a little.
After all, his current situation was indeed dire, a dead end.
With Emperor Jun and Taiyi here, trapping him with a Formation, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.
As for fighting, that was even less of a consideration.
He couldn't even defeat Kunpeng, let alone Emperor Jun and Taiyi combined?
However.
As soon as this thought arose, at that moment, a surge of Evil Qi seemed to appear out of nowhere, clouding his Primordial Spirit.
Hongyun's face twisted, and he suddenly looked up, declaring resolutely to Emperor Jun and Taiyi: "You all want my Hongmeng Purple Qi, do you?"
"Heh, I won't give it to you!"
Emperor Jun frowned slightly, while Taiyi was furious and was about to make a move, but unexpectedly, a figure rushed out from Hongyun's body at this moment.
This was Hongyun's benevolent corpse, which recklessly charged at them.
An extremely terrifying magical power fluctuation intensely emanated from Hongyun's benevolent corpse.
"How dare you!"
Emperor Jun and Taiyi's eyes were bloodshot, and they roared in anger.
But it was too late. With a loud bang, Hongyun's benevolent corpse exploded.
A huge amount of energy swept out in all directions.
With a 'dong' of the bell, the Chaos Bell suppressed and resisted the power of Hongyun's benevolent corpse's self-destruction.
At the same time, it stabilized the Great Array.
The Chaos Bell was indeed an innate supreme treasure, even in Taiyi's hands, not yet fully refined by him.
But the power it unleashed was already extremely terrifying.
Even if Hongyun self-destructed his benevolent corpse, he still couldn't turn the tables.
However, what neither Emperor Jun nor Taiyi expected was that just as their expressions softened and they breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, another violent magical power fluctuation emanated from Hongyun's body.
That's right, it was Hongyun's main body.
Hongyun was even going to use his own body for self-destruction.
Through the surging Turbulence, Emperor Jun could vaguely see the ferocity and madness on Hongyun's face.
He was greatly shocked and secretly regretted it.
If he had known Hongyun was so crazy, he shouldn't have harbored the idea of recruiting him.
Instead, he should have directly killed Hongyun from the start.
Now, Hongyun had self-destructed his benevolent corpse and was about to self-destruct his own body.
He had not anticipated this at all!
"Dong dong dong!!!" Accompanied by an even louder explosion than before, Taiyi frantically struck the Chaos Bell.
The Chaos Bell vibrated like a bell, but still couldn't stop it.
The immense explosion force directly broke through the Great Array.
A Primordial Spirit flew out from within.
It was Hongyun, who, by relying on the consecutive self-destruction of his benevolent corpse and main body, finally broke out of the Great Array and fled madly.
Furthermore, without his Physical Body, his Primordial Spirit's escape speed was even faster.
