Chapter 2456 Seeking Skin from a Tiger
Emperor Ji has the supernatural power of "My Taoist Wonderful Appearance" after his promotion, but unfortunately he cannot use it, otherwise he will be suppressed by the great avenue of the universe.

Yuanshi Tianwang simply did not have the means to surpass the realm of Heavenly Dao, so naturally he could not defeat Emperor Ji quickly. The two could only fight against each other based on the Dao they had comprehended and their own understanding of their own paths.

Whoever wins this battle will represent the one whose Tao is stronger and more perfect.

This is not something that can be decided in a short period of time.

At this point, Dayan Shenglong, a powerful being in the realm of Heavenly Dao in the Infinite Universe, was held back by Honghuang Heavenly Dao, while Yuanshi Tianwang was held back by Jiehuang.

The powerful people in the Heavenly Dao realm in both universes are unable to take action against all the living beings in the universe.

Hongjun, who was hiding in the dark, was envious of Emperor Ji and Yuanshi Tianwang, who were using their own Dao to evolve the universe's myriad spirits to fight against each other. This was the power of the Heavenly Dao Realm, which could evolve Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian at will, and even countless immortal gods and powerful beings.

In the eyes of the strong men in the realm of Heavenly Dao, he, the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, is nothing at all. Ever since the strong men in the realm of Heavenly Dao appeared, in the two universes, the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian is no longer the top combat force, but is in the second echelon.

Seeing that the Heavenly Dao Realm possessed such grace, Hongjun was naturally unwilling to accept it. He had been planning for so long, even giving up the honorable position of the protagonist of the prehistoric world and joining the infinite universe. Until now, he has only reached the Great Perfection Realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, and he is still one step away from achieving the Heavenly Dao Realm.

And the gap at this step is a chasm.

Without the opportunity to go against the will, or the universe’s avenue personally infusing the origin of the universe, there is no way to break through.

Looking at his own world that had lost the Heavenly Egg, Hongjun's hatred for Zhang Qian increased. If it were not for Zhang Qian, relying on the mystery of the Heavenly Egg, he would have achieved the Heavenly Dao realm long ago.

"Zhang Qian! This fellow has plotted against me time and again, taking away my opportunities. If I don't take revenge, what future can I have?"

But thinking of Zhang Qian’s current strength, Hongjun immediately lost his confidence. The other party was a strong man in the realm of heaven, and the ruler of the origin world. How could he fight against him?
"Hongjun, this ancestor has long told you that as long as you merge with this ancestor, it is easy to advance to the Heavenly Dao realm. Unfortunately, you did not listen to this ancestor's good advice! How is it now? Your contemporaries, and even your descendants, have achieved the Heavenly Dao realm! That Emperor Ji was just a pawn in your control of the Heavenly Court, but now he has surpassed you and achieved the Heavenly Dao realm. Are you willing to accept this?"

Deep in Hongjun's soul, the voice of Wudaozi suddenly rang out. Wudaozi had always wanted to use the fragments of his own will to devour Hongjun's will, replace it, and live a second life.

Unfortunately, Hongjun had been on guard against him, leaving him no chance at all. Now that he sensed Hongjun's declining self-confidence, he immediately saw an opportunity and attacked him immediately.

"Hmph!" This time Hongjun did not continue to refute, but snorted coldly, "You just want to devour my will. Don't dream of replacing me. I won't give you a chance. You might as well cooperate with me and let me help you find a suitable candidate to devour the other person's will and live a second life!"

Hongjun naturally didn't want Wudaozi to succeed, but he still wanted to get his help. The other party was a transcendent being, not to mention the realm of heaven, even if it was the realm of the great way, there might be a way to break through.

He was extremely envious. If he had not lacked the confidence to defeat Wudaozi's will fragment, he would have devoured the other party with his own will and obtained all of his secrets.

It's a pity that he didn't dare.

"Cooperate with you? Hongjun, in my eyes, you are the most suitable candidate. I don't like the rest!"

Wudaozi simply stopped pretending, since Hongjun couldn't do anything to him anyway.

"I think there is someone more suitable than me!" "Who! Tell me!"

Wu Daozi asked insincerely.

"What do you think of the Ancestor Yang Mei? He is the best in the universe in terms of both his background and talent. He was born in accordance with the laws of space. If he had not encountered Zhang Qian's calculations, he would not have failed and would have even become the master of the Origin Conference. If the Ancestor replaces him, it is possible to follow the path of the Ancestor Yang Mei again!"

"Yang Mei? That fellow is also a genius, but unfortunately he lacks luck. Well, if you can suppress Old Ancestor Yang Mei, I may cooperate with you."

Hongjun was overjoyed when he heard this. He had long been fed up with the Wudaozi in the depths of his soul. The other party would come out from time to time to seduce him, making him careful and alert at all times, fearing that the other party would seize the opportunity and replace him.

After so many years, Hongjun's life has been very tiring. He has to carefully complete the mission of the Infinite Universe, guard against the plots of powerful people in secret, and guard against Wudaozi's will taking over his body.

He didn't dare to relax for a moment. He had had enough of this kind of life. He was willing to pay a huge price as long as he could get rid of Wudaozi's entanglement. Unfortunately, the other party had set his eyes on him and refused to leave no matter what.

Now hearing that Wudaozi was willing to leave and replace Patriarch Yangmei, Hongjun was overjoyed.

Wu Daozi naturally sensed Hongjun's joy and sneered, "Hongjun, since the ancestor Yang Mei was defeated by Zhang Qian and even his own void world was swallowed up, he has disappeared. Are you sure you can find him?"

Ever since Zhang Qian defeated Yang Mei and devoured his world, Yang Mei disappeared and no one has seen him since.

Many people even believed that Yang Mei had been secretly eliminated by Zhang Qian.

"Of course I have confidence. Others can't find him, but I can. But you have to promise me that as long as you find Yang Mei and I suppress her, you will leave my soul. In addition, you have to give me the method to break through the Heavenly Dao realm! Oh, right! And the Dao text that Zhang Qian used, that should be the original Dao text!"

Hongjun was extremely greedy, and the lion opened his mouth wide.

"Hahahaha, do you think it's possible? The original Dao text is impossible, but there are many methods to break through the Heavenly Dao. I have countless such methods, so it's not impossible to give you one."

The method to break through the realm of heaven is extremely precious in Hongjun's eyes, but in the eyes of the former transcendent Wudaozi, it is something not worth mentioning. He has experienced countless reincarnations of the universe and witnessed endless methods of cultivation.

The method of breaking through the Heavenly Dao Realm was just a minor method for him. He could come up with tens of thousands of them at will, so it was no big deal to give Hongjun one.

However, the original Dao text is different. This kind of Dao text is something that only transcendent people can master. Even if it is intimidating enough to him, he naturally will not give it to Hongjun.

"Don't bargain with me, this is all you can get. Go find Yang Mei now. If you delay my important business, you will be in trouble!"

After making the threat, the fragment of Wudaozi's will hid again in the depths of Hongjun's soul and would not come out no matter how Hongjun called upon it.
