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

Chapter 18: Digging at the Corner of the Earth, the Golden Crow Descends for Tribulation!

As Chu Xuan had anticipated, Hongjun faced immense pressure as he started his lecture ahead of schedule.

Sitting upright on the platform, Hongjun’s gaze flickered open and closed. Above his head, the overwhelming might of the Heavenly Dao pressed down, no longer flowing harmoniously as it had before.

Each lecture represented a stage in Hongjun’s path of merging with the Dao.

His lectures strengthened the Primordial Realm. This was a price he paid for merging with the Dao. It required him to grasp the enhancement of the Immortal Dao and the extent to which the Primordial Realm’s growth would strengthen the Heavenly Dao.

Once the Quasi-saint Realm began, the strength of the Primordial Realm would rise significantly. This would also cause the strength of the Heavenly Dao to rise sharply, bringing tremendous pressure to Hongjun.

Strengthening the Immortal Dao meant enhancing Hongjun, which was beneficial for merging with the Dao. However, an increase in the Immortal Dao also indicated that the Primordial Realm and the Heavenly Dao were becoming stronger, which was not conducive to merging with the Dao.

There was a subtle balance in this.

Giving lectures indicated Hongjun’s grasp of this balance.

However, now, the Immortal Dao was constrained by tribulations and no longer experienced rapid growth. At the same time, tribulations perfected the Heavenly Dao, causing an alternative enhancement that already pressured him greatly.

The two forces gradually became unbalanced.

Furthermore, as the Quasi-saint Realm approached, it would enhance the Primordial Realm. Because of the existence of tribulations, some resources vacated by the Quasi-saint achievements could not be swiftly replenished, causing a predetermined disconnect in the progress of the Immortal Dao.

But he had to do it this way.

“Because tribulations are strengthening, even if I do nothing, the two will already be disconnected!”

“Now, starting the Quasi-saint Realm will greatly enhance the Immortal Dao, temporarily limiting the gap between the two!”

“Although the future gap will be larger, at least there will be some breathing room for a while!”

“Moreover, with three disasters and nine tribulations! There are tribulations, so naturally, there are methods to avoid them. With the improvement of the deities’ cultivation, they will soon be able to comprehend this!”

“Tribulations will not become a limiting factor for me, the old Dao!”

“Additionally, with the current imbalance between the Wu and the Yao, it is even more necessary to restore balance!”

“Lecturing is imperative!”

Hongjun’s gaze flickered as he prepared to correct the current trajectory, which had become somewhat deviated.

However, despite having a plan, a hint of doubt still flashed in his eyes.

“This tribulation appeared too early. Is it a natural evolution of the Heavenly Dao, a warning to me, the old Dao, or is there another powerful figure scheming behind the scenes?”

Hongjun calculated with his fingers but could not see clearly.

He could not help but recall the Wu tribe, which had recently attacked the Yao tribe’s Heavenly Court. He could not see through it under the cover of the Pangu Hall. Additionally, the sudden turmoil of the tribulation was also too coincidental.

Hongjun instinctively frowned, feeling suspicious, but then thought the Wu tribe did not seem to possess such clever schemes.

After pondering for a long time, he finally sighed.

“The remnants of Pangu are indeed a hindrance!”

“No wonder even the Heavenly Dao supports my layout against it!”

“The Heavenly Dao serves the order of the Primordial Realm. How can such a disregard for the heavenly order exist in the world?”

In three thousand years, the lecture will change everything!

Hongjun sat on the platform, continuing to merge with the Heavenly Dao.

……..

At the same time, Chu Xuan had already returned to the Earth tribe, exchanging ideas with many friends within the tribe.

A robust man holding a peach staff looked at Chu Xuan’s return and spoke with joy.

“Chu Xuan, you’re back!”

“I had warned you earlier not to rely on the Ancestor Wu’s favor to connect with the Ancestor Wu. When I saw you being summoned by the Ancestor Wu, my heart nearly jumped out!”

“I never expected you to be so lively!”

“Hey, wait, your cultivation level!”

Suddenly, the man with the peach staff widened his eyes, staring at Chu Xuan before feeling a wave of pressure radiating from him, causing a mix of astonishment and doubt.

Chu Xuan smiled, nodding at his friend.

“Indeed, I have broken through and reached the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal!”

“The Ancestor Wu, although thinking I am weak, cares for the race. They specifically bestowed their essence blood to enhance my cultivation!”

“Now we exist in the same realm!”

The man with the peach staff stared wide-eyed, somewhat shocked.

“What? Such a good thing exists!”

“If I had known earlier, I would have gone with you!”

“It’s all Hou Yi’s fault. He said you would definitely be punished by the Ancestor Wu, so I didn’t share tribulations with you!”

“Now I am already at the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. If the Ancestor Wu bestows benefits, I will not be far from becoming a Senior Shaman, even if I don’t achieve the level of a Da Luo Golden Immortal!”

“Damn it! It’s all Hou Yi’s fault!”

The man with the peach staff looked somewhat disappointed and filled with regret.

Seeing his genuine expression, Chu Xuan smiled. If his friend knew he was not merely a Taiyi Golden Immortal but had actually achieved the Da Luo Golden Immortal and even attained the status of Ancestor Wu, he would probably regret it even more.

However, now that Chu Xuan had achieved the Da Luo Golden Immortal and held the status of Ancestor Wu, it was sufficient to conceal all his transformations.

Even the Kua Fu before him could not detect anything.

Indeed, the figure before him was Kua Fu, the future catalyst for the battle between the Wu and Yao tribes. However, Kua Fu had not yet broken through to the Da Luo Golden Immortal and had not yet achieved the status of a Senior Shaman.

When Chu Xuan had just been born and arrived at the Earth tribe, he had encountered Kua Fu.

Because Kua Fu was destined to become a Senior Shaman in the future, he had actively approached to make friends.

Similarly, another Hou Yi was of the same reasoning.

He had intended to hold tightly to the two’s legs and slightly change their futures.

After all, he had been just a lowly Golden Immortal Shaman at the time, with a weak foundation. He never expected things to change so quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had already achieved the Da Luo Golden Immortal.

Though the situation had changed, the remaining friendship was real. The Wu tribe was straightforward, not foolish. How could they make friends without being sincere?

It was for this reason that Chu Xuan wanted to meet the two before leaving and prepare to give them an opportunity.

“After all, as another Ancestor Wu, when it comes to exposure, it is best to establish my own tribe. By then, these two well-known Senior Shamans will be just the manpower I need!”

As for digging at the corner of the Earth? In the future, the Earth will belong to me; I will not care about such details!

Chu Xuan’s thoughts flashed by in an instant.

But he continued speaking.

“Enough of that. At this time, where has Hou Yi gone? Aren’t you two always together?”

“What do you mean always together? Clearly, that guy clings to me!”

Kua Fu muttered in defense, but still pointed Chu Xuan in a direction.

“He went that way to face the tribulation!”

“He said he wants to become a Senior Shaman!”

“Damn it! In your words, he is secretly progressing on his own! He has abandoned the crowd and distanced himself from everyone!”

Kua Fu said indignantly, allowing Chu Xuan to finally understand why Kua Fu had felt so regretful earlier.

Hou Yi was preparing to break through to become a Senior Shaman at this time?

Chu Xuan was stunned but felt it was only natural. After all, in the originally planned future, he had indeed shot down the nine Golden Crows.

He had even refined Pangu’s essence blood as a backup for the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, making his talent undoubtedly the best.

As for whether his refining of Pangu’s essence blood now counted as snatching Hou Yi’s opportunity?

Chu Xuan thought it did not count. After all, this essence blood falling into his hands would change the future of the Wu tribe.

When Hou Yi refined it back then, it would have only led to a dead end, having no real effect. It was better to cultivate himself.

Nonetheless, because of their past friendship, Chu Xuan still intended to look out for him a bit.

However, just as Chu Xuan was thinking this.

Suddenly, the laws of tribulation within him trembled.

He instinctively looked up.

His gaze pierced through the void.

He saw, billions of miles away, boundless thunder tribulations beginning to converge. Most crucially, there was a faint shadow of a broken Golden Crow among them.

The Golden Crow’s gaze burned with hatred, as if it wanted to forcibly bring down tribulations

…

“Impossible!”

“Can a Golden Crow cause tribulations?”

The specter of the Golden Crow had never appeared at this time, and its power was naturally extraordinary.

With a hint of astonishment, Chu Xuan turned to look at Kua Fu.

“This will affect the Senior Shaman’s tribulation!”

“I’ll go take a look!”

Kua Fu nodded, though his face still held disbelief.

After all, the Golden Crow had never appeared since the birth of the Primordial Realm.

In the past, it had to go through cycles to reach such a level.

This time, Chu Xuan and Kua Fu rushed towards the scene of the tribulation.

But as they reached the vicinity, they noticed countless Golden Crows soaring across the sky, all trapped by the force of the tribulation, as if they had broken through the last cycle.

In an instant, Chu Xuan felt a hint of danger.

The descent of a Golden Crow was a great omen.

A hint of trepidation filled him, but then he felt the power of the Golden Crow pulsing through his heart.

The tribulations converged, and the energy of the Golden Crow resonated with the rules of tribulation.

He turned and shouted at Kua Fu.

“Kua Fu, pay attention! The Golden Crow may cause a dangerous scene! Don’t act recklessly!”

Kua Fu stared, instinctively alert.

In this realm, a Golden Crow’s existence was too strong, causing many heavenly rules to resonate.

When a Golden Crow was born, it was not long before countless disasters would occur.

Yet as they gathered their strength, the thunder tribulations scattered downwards, giving birth to a wave of unprecedented storms.

Thunder rumbled, and an immense amount of energy surged toward the surroundings.

Finally, an immense power converged, and in an instant, the golden light of the Golden Crow illuminated the world!

Amid the waves of thunder, a figure appeared among the Golden Crows and ascended to the tribulation!

“Hou Yi!”

With an agonizing expression, he spoke aloud.

In the face of the thunder, Hou Yi was not afraid, directly confronting the power of the Golden Crow, which brought the rules of heaven tumbling down.

“Huh?”

Chu Xuan was astonished, realizing that in such tribulations, Hou Yi’s talent was truly exceptional.

This was an opportunity that required a great risk.

The Golden Crow’s embodiment of the tribulation and the lightning that struck downwards signaled the arrival of tribulations.

In a single breath, the light condensed, and with a roar, Hou Yi stepped into the thunder tribulation, welcoming the embrace of the Golden Crow.

With this scene, the thunderstorm changed, resonating with his strength and blossoming into terrifying storms.

Chu Xuan couldn’t help but stand aside, feeling the pressure of the power emitted from the tribulation.

The shockwaves collided, and a series of loud bangs echoed, engulfing the world in chaos!

“Now I must act!”

Chu Xuan thought silently and began to prepare the essence of blood within him.

This was an opportunity to not only befriend a Great Witch but to gather strength from the tribulation!

In a moment of thought, Chu Xuan’s palms drew together, invoking the strength within him.

At this time, a massive energy emerged within his hands, fully charging his bloodline.

“Senior Shaman, obtain the power of the Golden Crow!”

He surged forth, directly facing the energy that surrounded him, brimming with the power of tribulation!

Yet at the same moment, a dreadful force came crashing down!

“Damn it!”

“Rewind!”

The lightning bolt bore down on Hou Yi, causing Chu Xuan to instinctively act.

In the following moment, an immense force from the tribulation struck downwards, like a massive Golden Crow ascending from the heavens!

However, Chu Xuan’s heart remained steady.

He stood as the center of the storm, welcoming the tribulation’s challenge!

As the lightning cracked, the sound resonated, echoing across the expanse.

In this moment, he and Hou Yi shared the tribulation, leading to the convergence of the two forces.

“Wonderful!”

He roared with delight, and countless powers began to collide.

In the chaotic sea of thunder and light, everything around them merged into one as tribulation descended.

In that moment, a golden light erupted!

Amidst the storm, a figure soared through the air, reaching for the lightning while claiming the Golden Crow’s essence!

Hou Yi roared wildly, seeming unyielding to the energy.

In the face of this overwhelming pressure, the Primordial Realm felt an unprecedented upheaval!

The Golden Crow!

And the legends that followed!

The rise of the Golden Crow was a catastrophe for the heavens!

The thunder rumbled, swirling across the sky as if it wished to bury everything beneath it!

“However, it is a golden opportunity!”

In the face of the storm, Chu Xuan’s heart was filled with unwavering belief.

He would grasp this chance, open the door, and summon the energy of the Golden Crow!

But the next moment, he suddenly felt that the essence of blood in his hands surged like a river breaking free from the dam.

With an overwhelming roar, the vast power surged forward!

And suddenly—

Boom!

The terrifying force of the Golden Crow instantly descended into the tribulation, igniting a ripple in the world!

At that moment, everything seemed to stand still.

The energy surrounding them erupted, radiating a dazzling golden light!

All laws seemed to shatter in the face of the Golden Crow!

In this moment of triumph, Chu Xuan felt the Golden Crow’s energy rise, igniting his heart!

“Now!”

A golden radiance enveloped him, and he soared forth!

Through the thunderstorm, he stretched forth his hands, merging with the laws and drawing the energy into himself!

The storm raged on, but he and Hou Yi stood firm, together facing the immense might of the Golden Crow!

They continued to merge, and in that moment, a powerful presence began to manifest!

At this moment, they stood at the peak of the tribulation!

However, among the raging storm, the echoes of the tribulation’s laughter rang out!

In this moment, he would rise beyond the horizon!

In the face of the Golden Crow’s tribulation, they would ascend!

And ultimately—

Boom!

The essence of blood poured forth from Chu Xuan, like a roaring dragon exploding from the earth!

In that moment, the entire Primordial Realm trembled beneath the Golden Crow’s wrath!
