On Yujing Mountain, Hongjun sensed the information within the jade talisman, his brows slightly furrowed.
Yang Mei invited him to deal with That One Beast Emperor; this was not a simple matter.
That Beast Emperor's strength could be described as terrifying. Even he wasn't confident in suppressing him; at most, he could fight to a draw.
Adding in the other Innate Sacred Beings, there wouldn't be much difference either.
Although they all appeared to be Innate Sacred Beings, having been birthed with almost no difference, as time flowed by, enormous gaps also emerged between the Innate Sacred Beings.
For example, the current him should be standing at the apex among the other Innate Sacred Beings. The only one capable of matching him was likely That One Beast Emperor; all the others were still lacking slightly.
A slow first step leads to slowness in every step. He was the first to pioneer the Great Luo Dao and the first to walk it. How could later existences easily surpass him, seeing as they were merely following the path he had already trodden?
He would always walk ahead of them. It was not easy for latecomers to catch up.
Conversely, the same situation occurred among other Innate Sacred Beings. For instance, those possessing an Innate Spirit Treasure naturally found their cultivation assisted and thus progressed much faster.
Therefore, the relative strength of the Innate Sacred Beings in the Primordial World has largely been determined.
The strong become stronger, and the weak become weaker. For example, some Innate Sacred Beings have already moved ahead of the others.
Yang Mei, Shichen, Yin and Yang, Five Elements, and others had long since distanced themselves from ordinary Innate Sacred Beings.
Therefore, when going to besiege and kill That One Beast Emperor, these existences absolutely had to stand in front of the other Innate Sacred Beings.
Otherwise, those ordinary Innate Sacred Beings would be slain by That One Beast Emperor within a few moves. Wouldn't that be the end of it?
If he went, the final result would surely be that he stood in the front ranks.
Therefore, if he truly went this time, he needed to make some preparations. The Beast Emperor's strength was not to be underestimated.
After some thought, Hongjun finally made up his mind. He still had to go. If they grew stronger, how could That One Beast Emperor not grow stronger as well?
Once he evolves endless Innate Vicious Beasts and lets them devour freely across the Honghuang World...
That Beast Emperor's strength would naturally become even greater. If they didn't seize this opportunity to kill him now, it would not be so easy to suppress him later.
Hongjun didn't hesitate and walked toward the outside of Yujing Mountain, preparing to go to the location Yang Mei had given him.
Just as he was about to move, the pangu banner hurriedly flew out from within his body and spoke with some displeasure:
"Hongjun, you want to leave? I still haven't absorbed one instance of Origin and Law yet.
I don't care! It's only a hundred years away. You have to let me finish devouring the Origin and Law Power before you can leave."
The Tool Spirit of the pangu banner materialized, pouting its small mouth and speaking angrily toward Hongjun.
Hongjun watched this scene, his mouth twitching. How could the Tool Spirit of the pangu banner have the Heart-Nature of a child? Wasn't this going to mess things up?
If he truly let it absorb his Origin right now, he estimated that when he met Yang Mei and the other Innate Sacred Beings, his identity might be exposed.
After all, his aura would definitely become unstable after having his Origin absorbed.
Looking at the Tool Spirit, Hongjun was not angry; instead, he tried to persuade it gently.
"Fellow Daoist, it's not that I won't let you devour and absorb it, but the Space Sacred Being Yang Mei has invited me to join them in suppressing That One Beast Emperor Shen Ni.
I promise you, Fellow Daoist, that after this matter is resolved, I will compensate you double. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"
Hongjun's face carried a hint of sincerity, but the pangu banner's Tool Spirit shook its head, full of displeasure, and spoke to Hongjun:
"Peh! I didn't ask you for it when you were in secluded cultivation before. Now that you've finally come out, you want to go negotiate with some Innate Sacred Beings about dealing with That One Beast Emperor and affect me again!
This time, I absolutely won't allow it! You discuss your matters, and I'll absorb mine."
Just as Hongjun was about to say something, the pangu banner's Tool Spirit flew back into his body, refusing to come out no matter what.
A trace of helplessness appeared on Hongjun's face. Alas, the Tool Spirit of this heaven-opening supreme treasure was still too childlike in Heart-Nature. Persuasion was useless, as he had indeed broken his agreement previously due to his secluded cultivation.
There was nothing he could do about that, but now, it seemed he had to think of other methods. It would be best if those Innate Sacred Beings didn't discover his true identity.
Otherwise, things would be slightly better before the Beast Emperor was defeated, but once he was defeated, there would be some trouble.
Therefore, the method for concealing himself was crucial. Fortunately, he hadn't been unprepared all these years. The Great Dao of Equality had advanced further, and his own strength had become increasingly terrifying.
The dao mark evolved by his own Dao, falling into those Parallel Time and Space, were constantly feeding back into him. His cultivation speed was far more than just a little fast.
Hongjun looked at the coordinates sent by Yang Mei, didn't hesitate, and rushed toward that location, bringing the pangu banner with him.
On the Primordial Continent, within the endless Void Realm, inside a special space, numerous Innate Sacred Beings were gathered.
They seemed to be Incarnations of the Primordial World's Innate Great Dao, radiating terrifying Dao Power just by standing there.
In the center of this space, however, sat an Innate Sacred Being dressed in green robes. This was Daoist Yang Mei.
His gaze swept over the surrounding Innate Sacred Beings, but he didn't take them seriously at all. These Innate Sacred Beings were not very powerful; most could only be considered support.
The ones he was truly waiting for were the few existences who would lead the main attack.
Suddenly, within this space, wisps of Yin and Yang Power materialized. Terrifying Yin Yang Great Dao Power pierced through everything; even this space seemed faintly about to shatter. This was Daoist Yin Yang arriving.
"Yin Yang Sacred Being, long time no see. Who knows how much progress Fellow Daoist has made these past few years."
Inside this space, Innate Sacred Beings familiar with Yin Yang greeted him and exchanged a few polite words with Daoist Yin Yang.
Following the arrival of Daoist Yin Yang, other Innate Sacred Beings followed one after another. Five Elements, Yuan Feng, Ancestral Dragon, Qiankun, and other such existences followed closely behind.
After these existences arrived, another force, filled with boundless Power of Destruction, entered this space.
At this moment, Luo Hou also arrived here. Since this was about dealing with That One Beast Emperor, every Innate Sacred Being of the Primordial World had to contribute their share of strength.
At this point, Daoist Yang Mei sensed the situation in this space. Most of the Innate Sacred Beings had arrived. Without hesitation, he stood in the Void Realm and spoke to the Innate Sacred Beings below:
"Fellow Daoists, it has been a long time. The purpose of inviting everyone this time should be clear to all: it is to deal with That One Beast Emperor and protect the peace of the Primordial World.
However, That Beast Emperor is immensely powerful. The reason for inviting everyone this time is to discuss how to deal with That One Beast Emperor so that losses can be minimized. Does anyone, Fellow Daoists, have any suggestions regarding this matter?"
"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, I am late. I truly apologize."
At this moment, Hongjun arrived, staggering, his face pale, and his footsteps seemingly somewhat shaky.
Yang Mei looked at Hongjun's state and asked with a hint of confusion:
"Fellow Daoist, what's wrong? Why do you feel so weak?"
