The existence of Hongng Purple Qi is definitely sothing Jiang Liu cannot simply ignore.
Having the ga system at his disposal, Jiang Liu was confident that, given enough ti, reaching level 100 and max level was a certainty.
But what about breaking through level 100? And attaining saintliness? Wouldn't Hongng Purple Qi be needed then?
Therefore, even though he had not yet reached the level of a Taiyi True Immortal, Jiang Liu's heart was still very much concerned with Hongng Purple Qi.
Was the Hongng Purple Qi originally inside Yuanling's body?
So where exactly was the Hongng Purple Qi now?
It must no longer be with Yuanling now; that was certain. Otherwise, Kunpeng would have sensed the existence of Hongng Purple Qi and stripped it from Yuanling instead of asking the Maitreya Buddha to hand it over.
Jiang Liu naturally knew about Yuanling's resurrection through borrowing a corpse.
If we say the Hongng Purple Qi had been stripped away, it must have happened before Yuanling resurrected, right?
"Wukong, when you resurrected Yuanling back then, did you find the existence of Hongng Purple Qi inside its body?"
After pondering for a mont, Jiang Liu felt that his only option was to try to reason backwards and so he asked Sun Wukong.
"Hongng Purple Qi? What's that? Master..." Hearing Jiang Liu's question, Sun Wukong looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked.
Facing Sun Wukong, Jiang Liu naturally had no intention of being secretive and began to explain the evolutionary history of the Primordial Continent, the existence of Saints, and the news of the Hongng Purple Qi in detail.
Although he had already reached the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal and Sun Wukong's strength was indeed very powerful,
Jiang Liu considered Sun Wukong to be the Daluo Golden Immortal with the least exposure in the Three Realms and Six Paths.
"So, it turns out to be like this?" Upon hearing Jiang Liu's narration, Sun Wukong's eyes widened in surprise and shock.
Sun Wukong had always thought that the Tathagata was the most powerful being in the world, only to find out that he was rely a disciple of a Saint.
This was the first ti Sun Wukong had even heard about the existence of Saints.
Jiang Liu's explanation gave Sun Wukong the feeling that this was how the world was all along and perhaps he finally understood the true scene of the world.
Sun Wukong's worldview seed to be collapsing a little.
"So, even the Ancient Great Demon Kunpeng fought desperately for this Hongng Purple Qi. We know that after Yuanling ca back to life, the Hongng Purple Qi should no longer exist, but where exactly is that Purple Qi?" After explaining the significance of the Hongng Purple Qi, Jiang Liu followed up by asking Sun Wukong.
"Master, this Hongng Purple Qi you ntioned, I, Old Sun, did not discover it when I resurrected Yuanling. I only learned about it today,"
Hearing Jiang Liu's question, Sun Wukong gathered his thoughts and imdiately shook his head in response.
"Hmm, I naturally trust you!" Jiang Liu nodded upon hearing Sun Wukong's reply.
Had the Hongng Purple Qi in Ancestor Hongyun's body disappeared when Sun Wukong used the technique of Borrowing a Corpse to Resurrect the Soul?
So, where exactly did the Hongng Purple Qi go?
Hongng Purple Qi was tied to the chance of attaining saintliness, and his master so easily believed him when he said he was unaware of it?
Warmth flickered in Sun Wukong's heart, grateful for Jiang Liu's trust.
His face showing a thoughtful expression, Sun Wukong then spoke, "Master, could it be that those three know about it?"
"Those three?" Sun Wukong's reminder caused Jiang Liu's heart to stir slightly.
Of course, Jiang Liu knew who they were. Sun Wukong must be referring to the Tiger Deer Sheep Sages, right?
Because back when Yuanling was looking for a body to resurrect into, those Sages were the first to find one, weren't they?
Could it be possible they knew sothing about the clue to Hongng Purple Qi?
Even though Jiang Liu felt that the Tiger Deer Sheep Sages might not be qualified to know about the existence of Hongng Purple Qi, perhaps they could still know sothing?
Even if there was only a one in a thousand chance, wasn't it worth his while to investigate it seriously?
"Yes, you make sense..." After pondering for a mont, Jiang Liu nodded slightly and said.
In the anti, Jiang Liu asked Sun Wukong to go back and find Zhu Bajie and the others, while he himself turned around and flew towards Fla Cloud Entertainnt City.
With Jiang Liu's Art of Cloud Soaring, his speed was already very fast.
It did not take much ti for Jiang Liu to arrive in the vicinity of the Fla Cloud Entertainnt City.
Upon reaching the Fla Cloud Entertainnt City, although there were many things to discuss with the Tiger Deer Sheep Sages, going straight to them could draw unnecessary attention, right?
Therefore, Jiang Liu also spent so ti in the entertainnt city and after gambling for a while, he arrived at the mahjong parlor level.
In a very secluded corner, the three demon sages each occupied a position.
As for Jiang Liu? He took a seat in the last position with an air of nonchalance.
The mahjong ga began, with four people carelessly shuffling the tiles and engaging in disjointed small talk in low voices.
Naturally, after a few exchanges, Jiang Liu steered the conversation toward the ice cave of Zhongnan Mountain.
Although the Holy Monk's sudden inquiry about the ice cave on Zhongnan Mountain greatly puzzled the Tiger Immortal, Deer Immortal, and Sheep Immortal, they didn't think too much of it and recounted the events concerning the ice cave in great detail to Jiang Liu, without omitting anything.
The Tiger Immortal, Deer Immortal, and Sheep Immortal were ticulous in their account, prompting Jiang Liu to be even more so. Whenever he encountered a vague description, he would ask for clarification.
From the mouths of the Tiger Immortal, Deer Immortal, and Sheep Immortal, Jiang Liu gradually ca to understand the situation inside the ice cave quite well.
Indeed, as they said, they stumbled upon the cave by chance and discovered the body of a child encased in ice.
However, after they entered the ice cave, their primary objective was to search for scriptures or Dharma Treasures that might be inside the Immortal's Cave.
Having found nothing, the Tiger Immortal, Deer Immortal, and Sheep Immortal didn't feel inclined to stay any longer in the ice cave, so they left.
They had no interest in the body of the Great God Hongyun.
Of course, after thoroughly asking and getting the details, Jiang Liu further inquired if there had been any signs of others entering the ice cave before them.
The Tiger Immortal, Deer Immortal, and Sheep Immortal all shook their heads, indicating that they'd stumbled upon the entrance to the cave by chance. Before their discovery, the entrance had been sealed, and there were no traces of anyone else having entered.
"That's strange…" Jiang Liu murmured to himself after learning about the situation from the Tiger Immortal, Deer Immortal, and Sheep Immortal.
He felt his perplexity deepen.
According to the trio, it seed that before their arrival, no one had entered the ice cave. However, why hadn't they discovered the presence of the Hongng Purple Qi?
Had soone powerful entered before them and then concealed their tracks upon leaving, hence the trio saw no evidence of this?
Or perhaps the Hongng Purple Qi was hidden within the body of the Great God Hongyun, and the trio simply couldn't detect it?
So, after they left Zhongnan Mountain, did soone else go in and take the Hongng Purple Qi away?
"Holy Monk, is there sothing amiss about the ice cave?"
As Jiang Liu mused over the circumstances of the Hongng Purple Qi, the Tiger Immortal, Deer Immortal, and Sheep Immortal exchanged looks before the Tiger Immortal quietly asked Jiang Liu.
"Oh, as for the matters of the ice cave, it's better for you not to know!" Jiang Liu, snapping back to reality upon hearing the Tiger Immortal's question, shook his head and responded.
After his reply, Jiang Liu paused for a mont before adding, "Furthermore, it's likely that soone else will try to inquire about the ice cave from you, either overtly or covertly. When that ti cos, just answer them as you have told ."
"Understood, Holy Monk, we get it!"
Realizing that there must have been an incident for Jiang Liu to specifically admonish them this way, the Tiger Immortal, Deer Immortal, and Sheep Immortal all nodded gravely.
Since the Holy Monk had told them to stick to their story, they would follow his instructions.
Moreover, since the Holy Monk didn't want them to know about these matters, it was likely that knowledge of it would bring them no good.
With all the necessary information shared and the conversation concluded,
Jiang Liu played a few more rounds of mahjong and then refrained from saying much more, eventually dispersing the group.
After leaving Fla Cloud Entertainnt City, Jiang Liu floated in midair; he wasn't in a hurry to find Sun Wukong and the others, but continued to ponder deeply.
The Hongng Purple Qi had disappeared at the ti of the Yuanling's resurrection.
And the Tiger Immortal, Deer Immortal, and Sheep Immortal were unaware of the existence of the Hongng Purple Qi.
So, where exactly did the Hongng Purple Qi go?
Who took it, or when was it taken?
"Eh, wait, there's sothing else that doesn't add up…" While absorbed in silent contemplation, Jiang Liu suddenly registered another inconsistency.
Did the dying Eastern Emperor Taiyi leave the body of the Great God Hongyun and the Hongng Purple Qi to his last remaining son?
So who is this last surviving child of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi?
Isn't it the final Golden Crow left behind by Houyi after shooting down the suns, known as Taoist Lu Ya during the Era of Deification?
And now, isn't he Master Wuchao?
"Master Wuchao, a Quasi-Saint in terms of cultivation level, why didn't he keep the Hongng Purple Qi for himself instead of sealing it within the body of the Great God Hongyun to hide it? That seems to be the biggest question, doesn't it?
