A low table, two cups of tea, and two figures on the left and right.

The simple-looking Lingjiu Mountain, which looked a bit desolate, was now suspended in the center of the secret realm that Fang Hongjun had used as his escape route.

Hongjun lowered his head and sighed, picked up the tea and took a sip.

"You really think I can't find you if you hide in the Sea of ​​Chaos?"

The spirit in the coffin spoke warmly, holding the teapot and filling it with water for Hongjun.

"You have to give it a try, otherwise you will definitely not give up, and it turns out that you are just causing trouble for yourself. In fact, you could have stayed out of the matter by breaking the jade dish of creation.

"Hongjun, Hongjun, I've survived millions of years, and it's just the last few years that are missing.

"A person who travels a hundred miles is half a mile, this is true."

Hongjun whispered: "Fellow Taoist, you win."

"What's going on here," the spirit in the coffin said with a smile, "Don't be too nervous, I always have good intentions towards you."

"I can't help but be impatient."

Hongjun laughed sadly:

"At this moment, my evil corpse was sealed off by Taishang Laojun, the six paths of reincarnation were established, and the way of heaven became stronger again.

"I originally occupied 30% of the land of Heavenly Dao, but now I only have less than 20% left.

"If we wait for the six sect leaders to return together, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me, the evil corpse, to occupy even 10% of the Heavenly Dao.

"When I discovered that Tiandao had taken a crucial step and began to sense living beings, I couldn't help but arrange the chess pieces to be embedded in Tiandao, and then I got out of control... This time, there was no way to attack."

The spirit in the coffin shook his head: "Then why do you think there is nothing we can do?"

"My evil corpse has merged with the way of heaven. This secret cannot be hidden from Taiqing and the others. If Sanqing wants to come to me to settle the matter, how should I deal with it?" Hongjun said with a frown.

The spirit in the coffin wondered: "Can't you just let the evil corpse withdraw from the way of heaven?"

Hongjun said silently: "It is difficult to retreat through the water."

"I think you are unwilling to give up such a good opportunity," the spirit in the coffin said, "you will eventually have to pay the price for your greed."

Hongjun said displeasedly: "Fellow Taoist, please don't say such sarcastic words. You may not be able to design a more comprehensive plan than me in a different place."

"Hahaha."

The spirit in the coffin smiled while stroking its palms, and raised its head towards Hongjun:

"I will convince you today. Recall for yourself, what did I say to you when your shadow appeared in front of me during the Battle of the Sea of ​​Blood?"

Hongjun frowned slightly: "You said that you also arranged for Xuanyuan to die in battle...isn't it Kunpeng? Although Kunpeng was a chess piece made by you, he was later helped by the Chaos Bell..."

The spirit in the coffin smiled and shook his head, saying: "Fellow Taoist, please call the Chaos Bell and give it a try."

Hongjun raised his sword fingers and slid them gently, and a mysterious charm bloomed on his fingertips and disappeared into the dark.

Hongjun couldn't help but be stunned.

The spirit in the coffin imitated Hongjun's movements, raised his sword and drew a simple talisman.

Just as the soft jingling of a bell sounded from outside the secret realm, a shallow vortex appeared behind the spirit in the coffin, and a chaos bell the size of a bell flew out of the vortex.

The Chaos Clock swayed from side to side, and the clear tinkling sound was endless. Dao of fairy light spread from the Chaos Clock, transforming into a graceful woman, who looked like she was twenty-eight years old, with a plump figure and a complicated ancient skirt.

Chaos Bell Spirit.

With a slight smile on her lips, she folded her hands in front of her and bowed her head in salute to the spirit in the coffin.

"Meet the teacher."

"Well," the spirit in the coffin patted the futon on the side of the low table, "Xiao Hua, come sit here and apologize for deceiving fellow Taoist Hongjun."

Chaos Zhong Ling just smiled and shook his head, meditating from the left side of the low table.

Hongjun frowned tightly: "Fellow Taoist, have you been plotting against me since ancient times?"

"Hmm," the spirit in the coffin said leisurely, "Don't worry, I'll call another Taoist friend over."

The chaotic bell spirit named Xiao Hua gently shook the bell, and a figure slowly formed from across the low table. It was wearing a cloak and was short in stature. It lowered its head and saluted the spirit in the coffin, and then sat opposite Xiao Hua.

He took off his cloak and put an earthen xun aside.

Fuxi’s good corpse!

Hongjun smiled bitterly: "I knew you were related to the Transcendent, so the Fuxi corpse I saw at the beginning was also a fake?"

Fuxi Shanshi slowly shook his head: "Pindao and fellow Taoist Fuxi have severed ties due to different pursuits. Pindao's Taoist name now covers the clouds."

"The relationship between the three corpses and the main body?"

"I did it," the spirit in the coffin said with a smile, taking two teacups and adding tea to Taoist Zhanyun and Xiaohua.

The spirit in the coffin said leisurely:

"Hongjun, you really didn't drink the toast this time but drank as a penalty.

"Originally, you only need to complete the tasks I set for you, give the Hongmeng Purple Qi to the six leaders at the right time, and let the six leaders become the saints of heaven and give up the saints and fruits of the great avenue. This is enough.

"Your value has been perfectly demonstrated. You are qualified to leave with me. I will never let you down.

"Why do you insist on going through all this trouble?"

Hongjun lowered his head to think, then smiled miserably, his expression a little more regretful, and then turned into relief.

"I was not defeated unjustly."

Hongjun said slowly:

"I thought I accidentally connected with the Chaos Clock in ancient times, but in fact it was you who asked the Chaos Clock to trap me.

"But what I didn't expect was that those chaotic beasts were actually your subordinates."

"Part of it," the spirit in the coffin said, "I can't really hide in the wild world without leaving any backup options."

Hongjun said: "You said before that you also arranged for Xuanyuan to die in battle, but you actually planned the whole plan, including the confrontation between Li Ping'an and me in the illusion of heaven?"

"There are many kinds of calculations. It is enough to grasp the key points and control the momentum."

The spiritual path in the coffin:

“The specific steps can be easily adjusted, and you should leave some room for improvisation when making plans.

"It's just like you, if you plan carefully and even make every step precise to the right time, what can you do?

"Do you know what your biggest mistake was?"

Hongjun sighed: "I would like to hear the details."

"You have been ignoring one question, and that is why I am hiding in the Great Desolate Lord's Heaven and Earth."

The spirit in the coffin smiled and said:

"This move is called creating momentum in the void.

"My identity as a transcendent person, and my ability to still suppress the leader even after being suppressed by the rules of the prehistoric world, are all my assets.

"Let you subconsciously feel that I must stay in the Lord's heaven and earth.

"Actually... when the heaven and the earth are destroyed, I can extract the original objects of the heaven and the earth as long as I am near the heaven and the earth. There is no need to stay in the main heaven and the earth. This is the bargaining chip I made for myself out of thin air.

"The bargaining chip without cost has now brought many benefits."

Hongjun stared at the spirit in the coffin: "This calculation is indeed exquisite, but there is one thing I don't quite understand."

The spirit in the coffin said leisurely: "Just ask. After today, we can talk about anything."

Hongjun struggled to explain: "You used leaving the world as a bargaining chip, and all you got in exchange was Li Ping'an's kneeling. Does this mean anything?"

"How come you still can't understand."

The spirit in the coffin raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows:

"But I can't blame you. You still don't stand high enough. You are just limited to the space between heaven and earth.

"The cycle of birth and death of heaven and earth begins again and again, and all living beings are just passers-by. Those who can escape from the cycle of birth and death of heaven and earth are transcendent. This kind of living beings are more valuable than heaven and earth itself.

"I have worked so hard to change my apprentice's favor and change my apprentice's basic concept of me. Isn't this enough?"

Hongjun was startled for a moment.

The spirit in the coffin continued: "Pangu's opening of the sky was only the means for the birth of heaven and earth, not the only means."

Hongjun frowned and stared at the spirit in the coffin.

Hongjun whispered: "I have another question."

"ask."

"If I hadn't broken the jade plate of creation back then..."

"It was you who insisted on showing your loyalty to me and took the initiative to break the jade plate of creation," the spirit in the coffin sighed. "If you think about it carefully, when did I take the initiative to put pressure on you? I really wanted to train you to achieve perfection.

God, it's just that you are too suspicious."

Hongjun closed his eyes and sighed, and said nothing for a long time.
To be continued...
