Hong Huang: I Kept Offering Poisonous Plans! Hou Tu Urged Me to Calm Down

Chapter 23: The Plan for the Sainthood; the Primordial Realm Shakes; the Tribulation Rises!

“Even if the other side really intervenes, it doesn’t matter to me! After all, this is just a pastime for me! My real plan is not here.”

Chu Xuan did not share the latter part of this statement with Hou Tu.

It was not about distrust; rather, it was a significant matter with far-reaching implications, absolutely not under the Heavenly Tribulation system. In certain respects, it might even surpass it. Until he was ready, he could not share it with others.

Hou Tu understood the brilliance of Chu Xuan’s strategy and ultimately did not express any intention to obstruct him.

However, before proceeding, Hou Tu still spoke up.

“This matter needs to be discussed with my brothers and sisters in advance. Although we have already started, we should clarify it!”

Hou Tu took the initiative to attribute the decision made by Chu Xuan solely to the two of them, which made Chu Xuan somewhat pleased.

The right thing was indeed to notify the other Ancestors of the Wu race.

Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for them to remain oblivious while the entire Primordial Realm was in an uproar.

Moreover, the Twelve Ancestors of the Wu race, as some of the few great beings in the world, had extensive friendships. If they could bring them in, they could quickly elevate this plan to the next level.

Though it was merely a pastime, Chu Xuan still attached considerable importance to this plan.

“If it can be accomplished, it can alleviate some pressure for the future!”

Chu Xuan was calculating.

He immediately tore through space with Hou Tu and reappeared in the Pangu Palace.

Not long after Chu Xuan and Hou Tu left the Pangu Palace, they returned suddenly, which caused the other Ancestors of the Wu race to be somewhat surprised.

At this time, Zhu Rong and the other Ancestors of the Wu race had yet to successfully break through. After all, it was the Quasi-Saint realm; how could it be that simple?

Di Jiang immediately asked curiously, “How come you’re back so soon? Is there something else?”

Facing the curious gazes of the Ancestors of the Wu race, Chu Xuan exchanged a glance with Hou Tu and did not hide anything. He directly recounted what had happened earlier.

Listening to the various speculations and calculations from Chu Xuan, even the Twelve Wu Ancestors were moved.

This was the Quasi-Saint era and the Saint era!

Even the Wu Ancestors found it difficult to remain calm.

They originally thought the greatest threat, the Yao race, had been resolved, but now it seemed that that was just beginning.

They had indeed anticipated the Quasi-Saint era, which was why they were eager to break through. However, they never expected that behind it all, there was likely the existence of a Saint era.

A Saint era, where six great Saints would emerge?!!!

Even Di Jiang, the strongest among the Twelve Wu Ancestors, couldn’t help but change color at this moment, repeatedly asking, “Is little brother serious? Are those six cushions really for the future Saints?!”

Although the Ancestors of the Wu race already knew that Chu Xuan was not one to speak carelessly, when it came to matters concerning Saints, even they found it difficult to remain calm, and were unable to stop verifying it multiple times.

On this point, Chu Xuan spoke quite naturally.

“Whether it is true or not, from the laws of preaching, the third preaching will very likely concern the Saint Dao! Moreover, if the Saint Dao is revealed, how could that person not seize it for himself? Besides the cushions, I can’t think of any other possibilities! Furthermore, as I said, for our Wu race, it is better to believe it exists than to doubt it!”

Hearing Chu Xuan emphasize this again, Di Jiang immediately gave up on that unrealistic fantasy.

Chu Xuan was right; the Wu race was strong, and no matter what, they could not escape such changes.

Thinking of this, Di Jiang gritted his teeth.

“Alright, since that’s the case, let’s proceed according to your earlier plan! Even if it offends that Dao Ancestor Hongjun, we must prepare for the future! Brothers and sisters, contact your friends and secretly spread the news! This is our Wu race’s strategy; we must not show any mercy!”

Di Jiang gravely instructed the Wu Ancestors to carry out the plan and forbade any mercy.

Without needing Chu Xuan to say anything, Di Jiang already knew what to do next.

The Ancestors of the Wu race clearly understood Di Jiang’s words; no mercy meant that if this plan succeeded, those they contacted would mostly be affected, even drawn into it. And the competition for the Saint’s position could not be underestimated, as it presented immense danger.

However, for the sake of the Wu race, the Ancestors of the Wu race gritted their teeth and nodded.

The prophecies of the Saint era had an overwhelming impact and compelled them to consider the Wu race’s interests.

Fortunately, the Wu race was arrogant and did not have many excessively close friends; otherwise, making this decision would have been much more difficult.

Thinking of this, the Ancestors of the Wu race looked at Chu Xuan with a mix of relief and complexity.

Their little brother had repeatedly proposed such vicious strategies.

The previous Heavenly Tribulation system was manageable; it only suppressed those below the Da Luo Golden Immortal level.

Though it had a wide reach, there was still some leeway; it was not too chaotic.

But now, this move would directly involve all beings above the Da Luo Golden Immortal level.

The entire Primordial Realm was destined to be disturbed by Chu Xuan’s vicious strategy.

It is unknown whether having such a cunning person born among the Wu race was a blessing or a curse!

Zhu Rong felt embarrassed of having told Chu Xuan that being big in stature meant strength.

This vicious plan had already shown him the power of wisdom.

“If this plan unfolds, perhaps a great being will fall, and it may not be just one!”

The Ancestors of the Wu race were greatly shaken.

They all anticipated various outcomes.

…………

Soon, as the Ancestors of the Wu race actively began to contact some friends and secretly spread some information, a breeze started to circulate throughout the Primordial Realm.

Sainthood! Just these this word were enough to make all beings above the Da Luo Golden Immortal level tremble.

Most importantly, the speculations in that message felt particularly real and reasonable.

They coincided with their own past thoughts.

The highest level of deception is to tell people what they want to hear, and the key is that Chu Xuan was truly not deceiving them.

News related to this spread wildly; almost before long, all great beings received first-hand information.

The atmosphere became complex behind the scenes.

Some masters fell into silence, some showed complex expressions, while many others were angry.

Almost immediately, a Kunpeng in the Northern Sea of the Primordial Realm roared in fury. Its terrifying magical power nearly shattered the Northern Sea’s sky and turned it into dust.

“Hongyun!”

It was no wonder the Kunpeng was so furious. Once, it had also possessed a cushion, but ultimately, due to the persuasion of that Hongyun fellow, he was forced it to give it to Zhun Ti and Jie Yin.

If he hadn’t known the importance of the cushions, it might have been alright; now that he did, he didn’t even have time to hate Zhun Ti and Jie Yin and directed all his hatred toward Hongyun instead.

Only those who truly possessed something and then lost it could feel the deepest pain!

…………..

Meanwhile, in Wuzhuang Temple, Hongyun was also taken aback and gave a bitter smile.

“I didn’t expect that cushion to actually be a Saint Position. It seems I ultimately do not have the opportunity to become a Saint!”

Compared to Kunpeng’s concern, Hongyun, the good-natured person, maintained a much better mindset and was not overly radical.

However, although he did not care too much, Zhen Yuanzi beside him suddenly saw the crux of the matter and grew serious.

“It’s fine if you do not care about that cushion, but do not fall into this scheme! But I fear that there will always be those who care about this. Do not forget that you not only let go of your own cushion back then but also that of Kunpeng. If Kunpeng takes issue with this, you will definitely be killed!”

“Killed!!” Hongyun felt a bit of a headache, his heart pounding. “Is it really that serious? It’s still just a speculation. The Dao Ancestor has never made it clear!”

………………….

Ps:

1.Hongyun is just that kind of person; he had a similar downfall when he obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

2.Hongmeng is the original, undifferentiated, chaotic state from which everything arises—a more abstract, absolute void.
