Chapter 801: Chapter 483: The Collaboration Between Hong Jun and Di Jun
In Di Jun’s mind, the image of the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor unwittingly emerged.
If one were to explore the Heavenly Dao, perhaps the harmonized Hongjun Taoist Ancestor would be more suitable.
At this moment, Di Jun seemed to sense something, stood up from the Law Throne, took a step out, and left the Heavenly Realm, leaving the Primordial World.
He arrived in the Chaos, traversing space guided by his own intuition, and saw the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor standing in the Chaos, awaiting his arrival.
However, the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor before him seemed to have returned to simplicity, like an ordinary mortal being.
Completely different from his manifestation in the Primordial World, without the Heavenly Dao Law Golden Wheel behind him, nor the awe-inspiring might.
“I meet the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor.”
Di Jun said, looking at the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor.
“No need for such formalities, Demon Emperor.”
The Hongjun Taoist Ancestor replied.
Di Jun remained silent, quietly waiting for the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor to speak, as there must be a reason for summoning him here.
The Hongjun Taoist Ancestor calmly looked at the Demon Emperor before him and slowly began to speak, “Has the Demon Emperor gained anything from peering into the future within the River of Time?”
Upon hearing this, Di Jun’s expression remained unperturbed.
His exploration of the River of Time was something he was confident could be hidden from other Saints within the Primordial World, yet he never imagined it could be concealed from the one before him.
The Hongjun Taoist Ancestor had harmonized with the Dao for an incredibly long time, with an unparalleled understanding of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, and his cultivation realm was unfathomable.
Even with Di Jun’s current cultivation realm, he could not compare to the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor.
However, Di Jun’s greatest advantage lay in his comprehension and the life-level enhancement gifted by Pangu God.
Relying on these two points, the gap between Di Jun and the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor had not widened; rather, it was gradually closing, albeit slowly, but steadily closing.
Di Jun gently nodded, as there was no point in deceiving the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor.
“The future is not definite; even a slight change may alter the future. Did the Demon Emperor see the future he wished for?”
Di Jun gently shook his head and said, “The future is ultimately limited; under the River of Time, there is mostly emptiness.” ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel-fire.ɴet
“Perhaps the future has yet to evolve, or perhaps my cultivation is insufficient to glimpse it.”
The Hongjun Taoist Ancestor’s gaze fell upon Di Jun, saying, “Time is unfathomable. The past is the past of the present, and the future is the future of the present.”
“With our understanding of time, we cannot return to the past to change the present, nor can we travel to the future to change it.”
“This matter will not be allowed by the Primordial Heavenly Dao or even the Primordial World.”
Di Jun naturally understood this, and as the laws among the Primordial Heaven and Earth became more stringent, this matter would also become increasingly difficult.
He knew in his heart that the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor’s warning this time might also be prompted by the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
Just as when he once used Heavenly Punishment to prevent Fu Xi from becoming a Saint, Di Jun immediately said, “Thank you, Taoist Ancestor, for the reminder. I will certainly keep it in mind.”
The Hongjun Taoist Ancestor, upon hearing this, lightly nodded and continued, “Unless you and I possess the great power of the Pangu God, allowing a wisp of Divine Sense to journey from the past time to the present time, only then can everything in time be changed.”
“Whether it is the past or the future.”
As the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor spoke, his eyes were filled with longing.
Yet Di Jun realized the oddity in the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor’s words.
The Hongjun Taoist Ancestor could think this in his heart, but he should not speak it out.
As a harmonization practitioner with the Primordial Heavenly Dao, every word and deed would be recorded by the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
Now he actually longed for the power to defy the Primordial Heavenly Dao, unless…
The Demon Emperor Di Jun was quite astonished, then looked at the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor and said, “Congratulations, Taoist Ancestor, on breaking free from the cage.”
Unless the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor had broken free from the Heavenly Dao, only then could he speak such words so freely.
However, this mattered enough to surprise Di Jun, as it was breaking free from the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, regaining freedom.
More importantly, the Primordial Heavenly Dao seemed not to pursue this matter, allowing the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor to break away.
And not even the slightest sign was revealed within the Primordial World.
“Breaking free from the cage?”
The Hongjun Taoist Ancestor whispered.
“How difficult this matter is. I still have a long way to escape the binds of the cage.”
Upon hearing this, Di Jun’s expression shifted from surprise to confusion.
If the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor had not broken free from the cage, then why would he say this? Could it be that his understanding of the Primordial Heavenly Dao was flawed?
The Hongjun Taoist Ancestor seemed to notice the confusion on Di Jun’s face and slowly began to speak:
“I merely used the Secret Technique gifted by the Pangu God to temporarily break away from the constraints of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, gaining brief freedom.”
The Secret Technique of Pangu God?
Having also received a gift from Pangu God, Di Jun naturally understood that anything bestowed by the Pangu God was not simple.
Just as Di Jun was pondering, the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor spoke again, “Little friend Di Jun, you and I have a profound connection.”
“During the ancient battle between Dao and Demon, when I first preached, I noticed you, as well as the East King beside you.”
“The East King was merely mimicking me at the time, but you were learning from me.”
“When I preached in the Purple Cloud Palace, you both continued in the same manner.”
“The East King, in imitating me, lost his own path, even in founding the Immortal Court, not following my tradition.”
“While you, in the process of learning from me, found your own path. Now, even I cannot fully comprehend your cultivation realm.”
