Chapter 2137 The Last Hexagram
Chapter 2137 The Last Divination
Only now did Luo Hong have time to examine her surroundings.
The space was extremely dark, with the only source of light being the blue runes that covered the surrounding area.
These runes all exude the pure aura of the true water law, and it is clear at a glance that they are the work of the Dao Ancestor who is the origin of water.
Because the restrictions here do not allow any force other than the power of sealing to exist, Luo Hong was unable to use her divine sense, so she could only use her naked eyes to detect information.
So far, Luo Hong has not seen the other sinful immortals imprisoned here.
However, at this moment, the evil corpse, which had been imprisoned like a statue, slowly floated up and drifted towards the dark and deep distance.
Upon seeing this, Luo Hong immediately followed.
About an hour later, the world in front of Luo Hong gradually began to brighten, and a golden light began to pierce the darkness.
After an incense stick had burned, Luo Hong could finally see the source of the light source clearly. It was a giant golden tower with flying eaves and glazed tiles, and it was exceptionally beautiful!
Numerous niches were deliberately left in the tower, where sinful immortals, sealed like evil corpses, sat cross-legged.
Judging from its appearance alone, it has a bit of the look of a Buddhist pagoda for ten thousand Buddhas.
"A time-based law of this scale must be a method left behind by the ancients or the present."
The golden tower exuded a magnificent aura of time, so much so that Luo Hong didn't need to sense it at all.
The evil corpse's destination was clearly this golden tower, and one of the empty niches in the wall was its place of imprisonment.
Because of its symmetrical structure, Luo Hong could calculate the total number of caves on the golden tower without having to walk around it once.
"There are a total of 720. If the other four Immortal Prisons also have such a golden pagoda, then there will be a total of 3,600!"
That's right, this golden pagoda is one of the foundation stones of the Three Thousand Dao Gods Grand Formation!
Having cultivated for so long, Luo Hong has already learned most of the mysteries of the Great Dao.
The total number of avenues in this world is three thousand six hundred, not one more and not one less!
However, finding the Three Thousand Dao Gods Formation was not Luo Hong's main objective this time.
He came here to search for traces of the Chaos Gods and investigate their possible conspiracy!
However, Luo Hong made no discovery until the evil corpse was sent to the golden tower and imprisoned.
Under his primordial divine eye, the power of the demon god could not be hidden at all.
"It's so clean! Those Chaos Gods never interfered with this place from beginning to end!"
This situation was far beyond Luo Hong's expectations, causing him to frown.
"Have I overlooked something?"
Just as Luo Hong was deep in thought, the Silver Fairy's voice suddenly came:
"Young Luo, the old man you left with me is dying. He wants to see you one last time."
Luo Hong was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then realized who the Silver Fairy was referring to.
"Wenren Ji? Is he about to disappear?"
As she spoke, Luo Hong flipped her hand, and a silver ball of light appeared in the palm of her right hand.
Within this sphere of light was a phantom figure, none other than the culprit who caused Luo Hong to transmigrate, the former abbot of the Tianyan Temple—Wenren Ji!
Luo Hong was not surprised by his disappearance, after all, this guy was not a complete primordial spirit, but just an obsession.
On the day the little black ball vanished and Luo Hong became the avatar of the Primordial Beginning, Wenren Ji lost his place of refuge.
More importantly, he learned a great deal about the secrets of the beginning from Luo Hong, including the ultimate truth of this world.
Wenrenji's obsession was precisely to find the answer, and now naturally there is no reason for his existence.
"Senior, is there anything else you wish to ask? Or perhaps, with reincarnation imminent, you wish to ask me for a helping hand?"
Although Luo Hong had the ability to forcefully keep Wenren Ji, he did not have such an intention, mainly because the existence of obsession was too painful.
Keeping him around is not helping him, it's harming him!
"Now that the Tianyan Observatory has been destroyed and the truth about the Primordial Demon has been revealed, I have no more worries in my heart."
Wenren Ji slowly shook his head, a relieved smile on his face.
Based on the information currently available, and from the perspective of all beings in the realms, the Primordial Demon truly lives up to its name.
The so-called Primordial Demon is actually a tool used by the Great Dao to restart the world.
The beginning and chaos, order and disorder, are eternally opposed, with absolutely no possibility of compromise!
Therefore, even though Luo Hong was extremely unwilling, when the Chaos faction began to gather its strength and he had no other choice, he was forced to refine all the heavens and myriad realms and fight against them.
To all the Heavenly Dao, Luo Hong is the demon destined to destroy them.
As for the Great Dao itself, Luo Hong is the chosen one, a pawn used to usher in a new era.
In other words, the actions of Tianyan Temple in hunting down the Primordial Demon can neither be called wrong nor right.
As for Luo Hong herself, she naturally resisted her destiny immensely.
After all, the power of the Primordial Chaos was perfectly balanced. If he did not make any effort, the only result would be to perish together with Chaos and become the resources for the new era.
In a way, this means Luo Hong is being made to act like Pangu!
Fortunately, Luo Hong knew that there was still the Heavenly Bottle, a supreme treasure that could determine the outcome of the battle, so she was not in despair at the moment.
"The Heavenly Evolution Instrument is currently in my disciple's hands, and there are still disciples living in the Heavenly Evolution Temple. If I have time in the future, I will help rebuild the Heavenly Evolution Temple."
Of course, the sect rule of hunting down the Primordial Demons will definitely not exist then.
Wenrenji had helped him a lot along the way, so Luo Hong didn't mind letting him leave with peace of mind.
As for his grudges with Tianyan Temple, even with the current abbot gone, he had no intention of settling scores.
"Thank you very much, little friend."
Wenren Ji bowed respectfully and then explained the purpose of his request to meet:
"Young friend, the road ahead will be extremely difficult. I am not strong enough to do more than offer you a final divination. Do you have any questions for me?"
"I see. Then, senior, please help me calculate this great formation."
Luo Hong knew that the other party could not possibly be considered as his primordial incarnation, so he pondered for a moment and then looked up at the golden tower in front of him.
"it is good."
Wenren nodded slightly, then quickly formed hand seals and began to calculate his final divination.
After a surge of profound and mysterious power of law, Wenren Ji quickly opened his eyes and shook his head at Luo Hong, saying:
"I am ashamed to say that I did not find anything unusual."
Luo Hong was not disappointed upon hearing this. Even he had failed to detect any trace of the Chaos Demon God, so it was even less likely that Wenren Ji, with his obsessive remnant soul, could do so.
Luo Hong simply didn't want to disappoint the other party's good intentions, so she decided to give it a try.
"but."
"Ok?"
Could there really be a discovery?
"Although I have not found any trace of the Chaos Demon God, the number of loopholes in this great formation is far beyond the normal range."
After this divination, Wenrenji's figure had become so ethereal that it was almost impossible to see clearly, but he didn't care at all and continued to analyze the situation carefully for Luo Hong.
"Too many loopholes? Please explain in detail, senior!"
For some reason, Luo Hong had a vague feeling that this was crucial.
"First of all, this formation accepts almost anyone who comes to be detained, and even if the power of the law has been repeated, it will not hinder them in any way."
Secondly, this formation should be a large-scale refining formation, yet it does not filter the power it refines.
If others were to learn of this, it could easily be exploited, so normally they would take precautions.
Wenrenji explained each point one by one.
“There are indeed significant problems here.”
Luo Hong frowned, also feeling that this Three Thousand Dao God Formation was a bit too crude.
The strongest law power on the evil corpse was the power of true lightning, which was not uncommon in the immortal realm, yet the golden tower still imprisoned him without any abnormality.
In other words, as long as there are still empty spaces on this golden tower, anyone who comes here can successfully climb the tower.
While ordinary cultivators may find it difficult to infiltrate this place, the Chaos Demon God certainly can.
The second vulnerability is even bigger!
In the original timeline, the Three Thousand Dao Gods Formation was activated with the Central Immortal Realm as its center. If it did not filter the power it refined, the Chaos Demon God could easily corrupt the ancient or the present simply by ambushing in the Central Immortal Realm in advance!
After all, the Three Thousand Dao Gods Formation is merely a catalyst for those who have advanced to the Chaos Dao Ancestor stage in ancient or modern times; its main power lies in the refining power of the formation.
This is the most direct form of pollution, and once you're affected, there's no going back!
If someone claims that neither the ancients nor the moderns knew of the existence of the Chaos God, Luo Hong would be the first to disbelieve it.
"That guy couldn't possibly be unaware of the dangers involved; this is truly suspicious!"
This arrangement was truly baffling to Luo Hong.
"Wait, there's another possibility!"
After a moment of contemplation, Luo Hong suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.
But then his face fell, and he couldn't help but doubt himself.
There was no other reason than that his very guess was simply too outrageous.
"Hey kid, stop making such a fuss. What are you thinking about?"
The Silver Fairy had somehow ended up sitting on Luo Hong's shoulder, and her curiosity piqued, she asked.
"Although Gu Huojin wanted to break the shackles on Daozu and enjoy true freedom and ease, he could not be so crazy as to disregard his own safety."
Therefore, the loopholes he left must have been intentional.
The only explanation for this is that the ancient or modern world has reached some kind of cooperation with the Chaos God.
Even if he wanted to become the Chaos Dao Ancestor, he would have to refine a certain number of low-level demon gods!
The more Luo Hong talked, the more reasonable his guess seemed.
Before this, he had always placed the Chaos God in opposition to everyone, which is why he found Gu Huojin's behavior extremely contradictory and incomprehensible.
But once you break free from this mindset, everything becomes reasonably explained!
"Those guys can cooperate? That's impossible, isn't it?"
Thinking of the twisted feeling the Blood God had given her, the Silver Fairy subconsciously began to have doubts.
"Anything is possible. I underestimated Gu Huojin before, thinking he was tricked by the Chaos Demon God."
In retrospect, it's highly likely that all of this was his own choice!
But why? Senior, do you have any thoughts? Senior?
Receiving no response, Luo Hong looked at her right palm, only to find that Wenrenji was no longer there, but a faint voice echoed:
"Young friend, perhaps there is also a Tianyan Temple on the other side of Chaos."
Yup!
Doesn't the Chaos Demon God fear death?
That was truly a wake-up call.
Luo Hong has stumbled and encountered countless hardships along the way, so there's no reason why the chosen one of the era from the Chaos side would be loved by all the demon gods.
On the contrary, those chaotic demons should be just as terrified of the appearance of the Child of the Epoch, just like the Heavenly Evolution Temple.
Because that would mean the end of an era, and all the demons would have to die!
If Gu or Jin obtains the power of chaos, he will inevitably become the Time Demon God.
This is among the top ranks of all the Chaos Gods!
Without a specific reason, Luo Hong didn't believe that the Chaos Demon God would help Gu Huojin in this way.
"Farewell, senior!"
Unexpectedly, Wenren Ji did her a great favor on his deathbed. Luo Hong bowed respectfully to him in gratitude.
"Young Luo, this fairy doesn't understand. What exactly have you figured out?"
The Silver Fairy blinked her big eyes, her face full of confusion.
"If all the conjectures are true, then it means that the appearance of the Time Demon God can effectively suppress the Epoch Children on the Chaos side."
For me, the later that guy appears, the better.
Unexpectedly, I share common interests with those chaotic demons!
This gain is crucial; once confirmed, it means Luo Hong will have the advantage of going first!
But if I want to make use of this, I have to ensure that either the ancient or the modern can succeed, but I can't just watch the immortal realm be destroyed.
Luo Hong's mind raced, and she thought of another crucial question.
"Forget it, there's no need to think about it now."
The most urgent task is to meet up with Old Demon Han and obtain more information from the spirit of the Heavenly Bottle.
After that, I still need to try my best to find out which Chaos Gods are cooperating with the ancient or modern, so as to completely gain the initiative!
A plan based on a bunch of guesses is obviously unreliable.
Fortunately, Luo Hong still had the Bottle Spirit as a source of information.
After speaking with him, many of his guesses should be confirmed.
time to go!
The trip took much less time than Luo Hong had expected, but since there were no other clues left, Luo Hong certainly wouldn't waste any more time here.
Immediately, Luo Hong made a hand seal and unleashed a burst of primordial power at the evil corpse.
A white beam of light entered the evil corpse's forehead, and soon condensed into a white rune resembling a vertical eye between its eyebrows.
"You know how to use it; it can save your life."
Clearly, this was a backup plan left by Luo Hong, and he wasn't worried about the evil corpse not cooperating, otherwise he would have been refined by Tai Chu first.
The sealed-off evil corpse was of course unable to respond, but apart from impotent rage, there was nothing it could do.
With a thought, Luo Hong created a small section of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Then, without waiting for the surrounding sealing forces to react, he summoned the Sky-Piercing Spear and soared into the sky!
Meanwhile, amidst the countless palaces and buildings above the Great Immortal Realm of the Central Plains, a handsome man in a magnificent golden robe pushed open the door to a forbidden hall.
After slamming the door shut with a loud bang, the man in the golden robe immediately said in a cold, deep voice:
Could you explain what this is?
As he spoke, he waved his hand and scattered a burst of light and shadow, which was the scene of the Heavenly Bottle smashing the golden giant hand!
