#1809 - Return to the Triple Heaven!
“Where do you want to go back to? The Netherworld Hong Tree, or do you want to go to the Hong Forest to train?”
“Let's go back to the Netherworld Hong Tree. I want to think about how to rile up that old codger Hong Lord. But Master, I still have a few questions. First, where did the creatures in that Leather Sack Hong Tree go?”
In the Heavenly Dao space, Ji Dongfeng obtained the complete Original Nine Gates Dao. At this moment, his aura has merged with the heavens and earth, making him look more composed.
Hearing this, Heavenly Dao said, “They all returned to the Hong Trees where they were born. You want to ask about the whereabouts of the two Hundred Lifetimes Clans and Annihilation Chengfeng, right? Don't worry, they are all still alive, but their current state is a bit special. You will meet them sooner or later.”
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng chuckled and said, “That's good, otherwise I'd be missing a figurehead for my ship.”
“Speaking of leather sacks, your monkey leather sack is still there. That thing is still somewhat useful to you, and you can use it at any time. I have already removed Hong Lord's power, so you can use it with peace of mind,” Heavenly Dao said.
“Thank you, Master! I have another question. As you know, I am a Hundred Lifetimes Clan member, and my next Hundred Lifetimes task is to withstand thunder tribulations. But my cultivation system has changed, so I don't know if there will still be thunder tribulations,” Ji Dongfeng asked.
“When the gate opens, there will still be thunder tribulations descending, but your thunder tribulations are extremely special. It's best to choose a place where no living beings can see you undergoing the tribulation,” Heavenly Dao instructed.
In the next moment, Ji Dongfeng wanted to ask about matters related to Fang Zhiyuan and the Hall of Laws, but they were all brushed aside by Heavenly Dao.
“Alright, I have already told you too much today. The rest is unspeakable, and you should not inquire further. The Dao of Heaven and Earth emphasizes striving forward, but also pursues following the natural course. Ji Dongfeng, I will give you two more pieces of advice. Remember what I said to you. Although you are my disciple, I will not casually help you, even if you face a certain death situation. As the Heavenly Dao, I need to consider things far more than you think.” Heavenly Dao said in a deep voice.
“In name, you and I are considered master and disciple, but don't treat me as a real master. Among all living beings, it's already good enough that I occasionally glance at you.”
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng chuckled and said, “Don't worry, Master, I know what's what.”
After a few words, Heavenly Dao waved his hand, and Ji Dongfeng's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
“Ji Dongfeng, your speed of opening the gate needs to be faster. The speed of the world's changes is too fast, and there is not much time left for you,” Heavenly Dao said in a deep voice.
When Ji Dongfeng regained his senses, he found that he had returned to the Third Heaven. At this moment, he was standing on a grassland, surrounded by emptiness.
“Damn it, where did he send me?” Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice, then quickly looked at his exclusive space. Since Hong Lord appeared, the living beings and souls in the exclusive space and Hundred Lifetimes space had been in a state of time stasis.
“Goddess, how are you feeling?” Ji Dongfeng asked.
Hearing this, Qingfeng frowned slightly and said, “What just happened? Where is Hong Lord? Didn't he appear? What happened after that?”
“Kid, what's going on with your aura? Your realm… isn't your realm at the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Heart Realm?! No, your aura seems even stronger,” Yinglong said.
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng breathed a sigh of relief and briefly explained what had happened.
The living beings like Qingfeng all showed shock upon hearing this.
“Are you saying that you not only received the protection of the Hall of Laws, but also became a disciple of Heavenly Dao?!” Zhulong exclaimed.
“It's really… a bit outrageous…” Wuliao Shengqu said in a deep voice.
“Wait! Does that mean I've become Heavenly Dao's grand-disciple?!” Zhao Guanlan shouted with excitement.
Hearing this, Qingfeng said in a deep voice, “Your position in the world seems to have instantly risen several levels.”
“Goddess, you don't seem too happy,” Zhao Guanlan asked, puzzled.
“If it was just to protect this kid, Heavenly Dao wouldn't need to go to this extent. With the protection of the Hall of Laws, Hong Lord wouldn't dare to act rashly. In my opinion, as the Heavenly Dao, one should be cautious in everything they do, but now it seems that Heavenly Dao's actions are a bit rash,” Qingfeng said.
Hearing this, Yinglong said in a deep voice, “That's right, that's indeed the case… Directly accepting him as a disciple of Heavenly Dao is indeed an extraordinary move. This may mean that Heavenly Dao has sensed something.”
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng chuckled and said, “Let's just let nature take its course, why worry so much? Anyway, I can now show off… cough cough, I mean, I can cultivate properly now. I still need to study this original energy.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Dongfeng's mind moved, and he directly entered the Hundred Lifetimes Space.
As soon as he entered the space, Ji Dongfeng felt that the atmosphere of the Hundred Lifetimes Space was a bit strange. All the souls had strange expressions and were silent.
Seeing this, Ji Dongfeng thought for a moment and understood what was going on.
“I know you are in a complicated mood. After all, the Hundred Lifetimes Clan was a plan initiated by Hong Lord. Before today, you should have also firmly believed that Hong Lord was on the side of so-called justice, and we should serve Hong Lord to clear away the turbidity,” Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice.
“But at this moment, even if we don't know what Hong Lord is planning in his heart, at least we can be sure of one thing: Hong Lord wants to eliminate me, which also means that he wants to eliminate you.”
Hearing this, Zulong sighed and said, “I still remember when I flew out of the Ninth Heaven and saw Hong Lord for the first time. At that time, Hong Lord had just finished fighting with the Filth Lord. When he saw me, his eyes were full of surprise. Actually… I talked to him for a long time. The first thing he said was… I finally have a capable helper.”
“Everyone, I will only ask you one question here. Are you currently a part of Hong Lord's Hundred Lifetimes plan, or are you one of my previous lives?”
Hearing this, all the previous lives changed their expressions slightly.
“Tch, how annoying. Why is it so troublesome? Compared to Heavenly Dao, Hong Lord is nothing. I don't have so many messy thoughts. I'll just follow whoever is the strongest.”
