Chapter 8 Ye Tiandi’s Offering Ceremony (Please Subscribe)_1
WHOOSH.
Ji Hongxia's graceful body landed before Hongmeng. With just a light flick of Hongmeng's arm, the Yin-Yang Lock Soul Chain automatically loosened, detaching from her body and drawing a spray of blood.
"Hmph!"
With a stifled grunt, Ji Hongxia fell forward, collapsing into Hongmeng's arms, yet her hands involuntarily clung tightly to Hongmeng's sturdy waist.
Sigh, what a hassle!
Looking at Ji Hongxia, Hongmeng found himself in a predicament.
He definitely had to save her. But how?
Sensing that the commotion here had spread and that experts from the Sacred Grounds of Yaochi would soon arrive, Hongmeng carried Ji Hongxia and flashed back to God's kingdom.
SWISH, SWISH, SWISH.
Barely two breaths after Hongmeng departed, several figures appeared at the location. Among them were Nangong Mengyao and other Half-step Daluo Golden Immortal powerhouses from the Sacred Grounds of Yaochi.
"Such formidable strength! This place holds the Path left by a Daluo Golden Immortal expert!"
"What exactly happened? Why would a Daluo Golden Immortal expert suddenly appear here, and who was their target?"
"Elder Sister just left Yaochi. Could it be her?" Nangong Mengyao suddenly voiced.
Upon her remark, the expressions of the others changed dramatically.
"What? Hongxia?"
"Hongxia's soul lamp is still lit; she's not dead!"
After confirming that Ji Hongxia was not dead, the group relaxed slightly. But Ji Hongxia had disappeared. They each employed their Divine Skills, attempting to locate Ji Hongxia's whereabouts, but found nothing.
Soon, a beauty in palace attire appeared. Her eyes, holding the depth of ages, contained endless mysteries, and her aura was as profound as the sea.
"Greetings to the Supreme Elder!"
Nangong Mengyao and the other experts bowed in salute. This palace-dressed beauty was, indeed, one of the foundational pillars of the Sacred Grounds of Yaochi, a Daluo Golden Immortal expert. Ji Hongxia was the Elder Sister of the Sacred Grounds of Yaochi and had a high chance of breaking through to become a Daluo Golden Immortal. Naturally, they could not give up on her so easily, thus compelling them to request the Supreme Elder to come out of seclusion to investigate.
"There's no need for such formalities!"
With a gentle gesture from the palace-dressed beauty, an invisible force lifted everyone to their feet. Then, with a sweep of her hand, time in the surroundings flowed backward, replaying the previous events one by one.
"It's the Yin Yang Sect!"
"Yin Jiao has some nerve, scheming against the Elder Sister of my Sacred Grounds of Yaochi! He's truly seeking death!"
"That's the Yin Yang Path Golden Pill!"
"Despicable!"
One after another, the Yaochi experts seethed with anger, but any trace of Hongmeng failed to materialize.
The palace-dressed beauty frowned slightly. Endless Dao Runes manifested in her beautiful eyes, and the terrifying power of the Great Path surged as she tried to forcibly restore the erased scenes. She knew Ji Hongxia must be in the hands of that Daluo Golden Immortal.
As she increased her power, space and time trembled, rippling like boiling water. Following that, the scene of Yin Jiao's murder became increasingly clear, and the one who killed him was about to be revealed. The Yaochi experts held their breath. The person who took Ji Hongxia away was about to come to light.
HUM.
However, at this very moment, an overwhelmingly terrifying murderous aura permeated the air. Space and time instantly shattered. The palace-dressed beauty's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but take a step back.
"Supreme Elder!" everyone exclaimed in concern.
"It's nothing." The palace-dressed beauty gestured dismissively, her eyes filled with shock and helplessness. "The adversary possesses an Innate Treasure, a Demon Sword that can obscure fate and karma. Even I cannot trace his whereabouts!"
"What should we do then?" Worry filled the eyes of the Yaochi experts. One Elder suggested, "Should we ask an expert from the Heavenly Secrets Sect to perform a divination?"
The palace-dressed beauty shook her head. "The adversary is a Daluo Golden Immortal and possesses an Innate Treasure that can obscure heavenly secrets. Even if the Heavenly Secrets Sect tried to find his whereabouts, it would be very difficult. It's likely only a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal could deduce his traces!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Above the Daluo Golden Immortals were the Primordial Golden Immortals. Above the Primordial Golden Immortals were the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals. Their Sacred Grounds of Yaochi currently lacked the ability to request the intervention of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, unless the Saint Master of Yaochi personally intervened. But the Saint Master of Yaochi had long been missing. Although Nangong Mengyao was consecrated as the Sacred Girl by the Saint Master of Yaochi, in truth, the Saint Master had not appeared; Nangong Mengyao only possessed the Saint Master's token.
"The one who rescued Hongxia from Yin Jiao doesn't necessarily harbor ill intentions towards her. I once observed Hongxia's fate; it is not one of a short life."
"Although fate is unpredictable, some things can still be discerned. Let this matter rest here for now!"
"However, Yin Jiao, the Holy Son of the Yin Yang Sect, schemed against someone from my Sacred Grounds of Yaochi. This absolutely cannot be forgiven!"
A sharp glint appeared in the palace-dressed beauty's eyes. The other experts were similarly filled with righteous indignation. If not for Yin Jiao's scheme, Ji Hongxia would not have suffered this calamity. Although Yin Jiao had already been killed by that unknown Daluo Golden Immortal expert, this debt was now to be settled with the Yin Yang Sect.
Hongmeng paid no mind to Yaochi's actions. He had already returned to God's kingdom with Ji Hongxia.
Ji Hongxia possessed a voluptuous figure, like a seductive serpent: long and slender, with full, round buttocks, a slim waist, and fair arms. Her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were soft as water as she clung to him like a koala. Her restless, lotus-like arms kept moving over his body.
Beast? Or worse than a beast?
Hongmeng tilted his head, his burning gaze fixed on Ji Hongxia. Like a willow in the wind, Ji Hongxia's supple body swayed gracefully, exuding an captivating allure.
Hongmeng reached out and grasped Ji Hongxia's delicate, jade-like hand, sending a thread of Divine Sense into her body to carefully assess her current condition.
Sigh, this is indeed rather problematic!
Hongmeng had a headache. He knew he could use his Origin Power to forcibly expel the medicinal effects of the Yin Yang Path Golden Pill. However, the pill's effects were already active. If he forcibly removed them now, it would be like extinguishing a fire when a meal was only half-cooked. The result would be a ruined dish, neither proper rice nor a proper meal.
"You little rascal!"
At this moment, Ji Hongxia's hazy eyes gazed at Hongmeng. Her luscious red lips drew near, her breath fragrant as orchids, her fair, jade-like arms wrapping tightly around his neck as she said, "Give it to me!"
Hongmeng raised an eyebrow, initially thinking Ji Hongxia had recognized him. But upon closer inspection, he realized her consciousness was clouded; she was merely calling out subconsciously.
To think she remembered me after only two meetings. Could this be because my fortune is strong, and I too am receiving protagonist-level treatment?
Hongmeng couldn't help but think of the nine Fortune Golden Dragons on his person, then looked at the restless demon squirming in his embrace. Ji Hongxia's figure was a tapestry of alluring curves. Her gauze dress outlined her devilish physique, accentuating its every contour, making her appear petite, graceful, and exceedingly tantalizing.
Forget it, being a beast is better than being worse than a beast!
Hongmeng made his decision.
He wasn't lusting after her body. He simply had no other choice.
If he truly forcibly removed the pill's medicinal power from Ji Hongxia's body, her future cultivation would be ruined, and it would likely be impossible for her to ever break through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
Conversely, if he lent Ji Hongxia a helping hand, combined with the efficacy of the Yin Yang Path Golden Pill, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance she could break through to become a Daluo Golden Immortal in one fell swoop.
Having made his decision, Hongmeng, being a decisive person, lifted Ji Hongxia and strode inside. Ji Hongxia squirmed restlessly. Her eyelashes were long, her eyes dreamy, her dark hair flowed, and her skin, fair and delicate, exuded a subtle fragrance.
Placing Ji Hongxia on the couch, Hongmeng reached out to encircle her slender, yet delightfully full, waist, pressing his lips against her charming face. Ji Hongxia's lithe and supple jade-like body twisted and writhed like a water serpent, her hair disheveled, her skin crystalline and flushed a jade-like pink.
Endless Spiritual Energy surged from the surroundings, forming a dense fog. As the two figures tumbled and intertwined, Ji Hongxia's Path of Six Desires Mortal World was displayed without reservation.
Hongmeng pondered. When Ji Hongxia woke up, she would surely recognize him. He could concoct a story about being saved by a Daluo Golden Immortal benefactor or a great Power who was passing by. After all, Ji Hongxia would not believe he possessed an Innate Treasure, much less that he had the Cultivation Level of a Daluo Golden Immortal. As for the Hongmeng Path, Hongmeng did not want to reveal it.
Therefore, he selected a Spatial Path of the Heavenly God-Level and the Heavenly God-Level, Seven Sins Path to engage in dual cultivation by merging them with Ji Hongxia's Path of Six Desires Mortal World. The Spatial Path, being a top-tier Path, was neither overly shocking nor out of place for his genius identity. The Heavenly God-Level, Seven Sins Path was supplementary. Many prodigies, in addition to their main Path of cultivation, would also cultivate some other Paths; this was perfectly normal. Hongmeng chose the Heavenly God-Level, Seven Sins Path because these seven Paths shared many commonalities with the Path of Six Desires Mortal World and would be of great help to Ji Hongxia.
Path after Path intertwined around them, evolving into endless phenomena. These phenomena were primarily manifested by the Path of Six Desires Mortal World: the myriad temptations of the mortal realm, bustling and chaotic; scholars and beauties, heroes and righteous swordsmen, imperial ambitions, men tilling and women weaving...
Hongmeng contemplated it for a while. With his comprehension ability and the enhancement of his various halos, coupled with Ji Hongxia's unreserved display, he quickly comprehended the Path of Six Desires Mortal World at the Peak of Lord God.
After comprehending it, Hongmeng focused all his attention on Ji Hongxia herself.
Compared to a Path at the Peak of Lord God, Hongmeng was more interested in her body. He already possessed over a hundred Paths at the Peak of Lord God, and nearly ten God-King Level Paths. A Path of Six Desires Mortal World at the Peak of Lord God, he truly wasn't that concerned about.
Meanwhile, Ji Hongxia was fully immersed in comprehending the Path. This was the effect of the Yin Yang Path Golden Pill. Simultaneously, as the two cultivated, the medicinal power of the Yin Yang Path Golden Pill also merged into Ji Hongxia's body, enhancing her Origin Power and improving her innate talent and potential.
In the mountains, time loses meaning; years pass unnoticed in cultivation.
「Outside.」
The friction between Yaochi and the Yin Yang Sect intensified, and a battle seemed imminent. A storm was brewing.
But for the moment, these matters had little to do with Hongmeng. His followers in various worlds were also diligently spreading his teachings.
「Yue Girl Sword World.」
Yue Buqun had successfully convinced Xi Shi, Ah Qing, and Goujian to join the Hongmeng Divine Sect. Furthermore, with his absolute strength, he helped Goujian sweep across all opposition.
「Covering The Sky World.」
The confrontation between Ye Hei and the two major Killer God Dynasties was in full swing.
「On this day.」
Ye Hei gathered millions of followers at the former Yao Guang Holy Land, preparing to offer sacrifices to Hongmeng.
Among the crowd, several figures with flickering gazes were interspersed.
Ye Hei, accompanied by Yan Ruyu, Weiwei, Yao Xi, Qin Yao, and others, walked out of the grand hall. When he reached the front of the crowd, he paused and sneered, "Vermin from Hell and the human world, since you're all here, why bother hiding? Won't you show yourselves?"
"KEKEKE! You know we're here, yet you don't run? Aren't you bold?" A sinister voice echoed in the void. Yan Ruyu and the others felt as if an Evil Spirit was sneering right beside their ears. A chilling coldness involuntarily penetrated their bones, making their scalps tingle and their hair stand on end.
