Chapter 627: Chapter 396: Hong Jun Bestows a Treasure

Upon hearing the news, Turquoise Pool also revealed a smile on her face.

Just as Hong Jun Daozu had said, Yao Ji had always been under their care, and naturally, there was emotion between them.

However, the many Saints and other beings in the Purple Cloud Palace couldn’t help but feel puzzled when they heard this name.

Besides the master (teacher/Daozu) and the two children, Haotian and Turquoise Pool, were there other beings in the Purple Cloud Palace?

They instinctively tried to calculate in their Primordial Spirits but unfortunately arrived at no information.

Compared to the other beings present, Di Jun had much less confusion.

He naturally knew who Yao Ji was. In the legends of the past life, Yao Ji, as the mother of the illustrious deity Erlang Shen, was quite well-known.

But now that Haotian was not the Heavenly Emperor but became the Immortal Emperor, would Yao Ji, like in her past life, fall in love with a mortal and give birth to Yang Jian?

Di Jun was also quite curious about this in his heart.

With a thought, Di Jun sensed a movement in the Law of Destiny he had comprehended.

Through the memories of past legends, he explored the mysteries of destiny by examining the numerous events occurring in this life.

Di Jun had a sense in his heart that no matter what the destiny of Yao Ji in this life, when he truly saw it, the Law of Destiny he had comprehended would advance further.

For someone of Di Jun’s realm, sometimes the progress in cultivation was like a flash of inspiration.

Of course, since Yao Ji was related to his own cultivation, Di Jun subconsciously tried to calculate everything about Yao Ji as well.

Unfortunately, even with the use of the River Map and Luo Book, everything he calculated remained very vague, with no precise information.

Hong Jun Daozu naturally sensed the actions of the various Saints within the Purple Cloud Palace, but he did not speak.

He looked at Haotian and Turquoise Pool with satisfaction, then waved the Buddha dust in his hand.

A space unfolded in the Purple Cloud Palace, where lotus flowers swayed and immortal energy permeated, with Innate Spiritual Energy condensing into mist, nurturing everything within the space.

Haotian and Turquoise Pool were not unfamiliar with this space, having entered it many times.

Secret Realm.

The Saints in the Purple Cloud Palace instantly thought.

Only, the level of this Secret Realm surpassed even most of the Small Worlds within the Primordial World.

With a thought, Hong Jun Daozu caused a plain and unsophisticated stone to fly out of the lotus pond, passing through the space barrier and appearing in the Purple Cloud Palace.

Chaos Stone.

Many Saints in the Purple Cloud Palace couldn’t help but frown lightly as they looked at this plain and unsophisticated stone.

And at the moment this Chaos Stone appeared, they sensed the spiritual wisdom contained on it, though still weak.

At the same time, the calculations they previously couldn’t do on Yao Ji, suddenly yielded results.

The intertwining of many causes and effects emerged.

Di Jun also looked at the Chaos Stone and couldn’t help but think: Is that Yao Ji?

In Di Jun’s eyes, though Yao Ji’s root was the Chaos Stone, it was not very good.

Chaos, Primordial.

It seemed that Chaos was much stronger, broader, and deeper than the Primordial.

Indeed, that was the case.

But this did not mean that all matters from Chaos were better than those from the Primordial.

Just like how Acquired Spiritual Treasures or Supreme Treasures were not necessarily weaker than Innate Spiritual Treasures or Supreme Treasures.

Thus, something that carried the word “Chaos” was not necessarily good.

Of course, Chaos Stones came in many grades, but as for Yao Ji’s root, not only was it inferior compared to these Innate Sacred beings, but even compared to beings like Maitreya and Bo Huang, it was far from good.

The Chaos Stone slowly came before Haotian, who caught it with both hands, looking at the Chaos Stone with gentle eyes.

He, Turquoise Pool, and Yao Ji before him were all Chaos Stones from within Chaos.

The three of them were originally located in a place within Chaos, nourished and eroded by Chaos Qi, but he and Turquoise Pool were of much better quality than Yao Ji.

For this reason, they were fortunate to be enlightened as children by Hong Jun Old Man, exempting them from countless years of arduous cultivation.

As for Yao Ji, she wasn’t so fortunate and remained a Chaos Stone.

But Haotian and Turquoise Pool did not abandon her; rather, with the consent of Hong Jun Old Man, they nurtured her in the Secret Realm space.

Now that they were about to leave the Purple Cloud Palace, they naturally took Yao Ji with them.

Haotian carefully put away the Chaos Stone and once again bowed in salute, saying, “Thank you, Old Master.”

Hong Jun Daozu nodded and then continued, “You two have listened to the Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace for a long time, thus belong to the Xuanmen.”

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa Saint clearly understood the implications of Hong Jun Daozu’s words.

They too were disciples of the Xuanmen, meant to look out for each other.

Though they understood, how they would act was up to them.

“Yes, Old Master. Haotian (Turquoise Pool) belongs to Xuanmen.”

At this moment, Jieyin Saint and Zhunti Saint observed their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, pretending to be uninvolved.

These two brother disciples originally belonged to Xuanmen as well, but unable to achieve sainthood within Xuanmen, they had no choice but to establish Buddhism, with its revitalization as their mission.

Now, if they rashly involved themselves in this topic, it would only add to their embarrassment.

Hong Jun Daozu looked at Turquoise Pool and Haotian once more and said.

“You both have served me in the Purple Cloud Palace for a long time. Even if there is no merit, there is hard work.”
