This primordial world is not serious!

Chapter 562 - 367: Daoist Ancestor, Time to Take Your Medicine

Seeing the growing struggle in Hong Jun's eyes, the Dao Contamination Venerable continued to exert pressure.

"After the Daoist Ancestor harmonizes with the Dao, you will no longer be a lonely seeker, but closely tied to the destiny of the entire Primordial world."

"You will bear the rise and fall of the Primordial world and dictate its future."

Xuanqing's voice grew increasingly persuasive in Hong Jun's ears: "Harmonization is not destruction, but rebirth. It is not bondage, but transcendence."

"You will protect the Primordial world you cherish in another way, and at the same time, in the Heavenly Dao, you can find the ultimate destination of your personal Great Dao."

"This is a win-win situation, benefiting both others and yourself. I hope the Daoist Ancestor will consider it carefully."

The Three Pure Ones each explained the reasons for Hong Jun's harmonization with the Dao clearly and thoroughly.

These reasons not only considered the strategic development of the Taiwei Divine Court but also precisely addressed the bottleneck and predicament in Hong Jun's personal cultivation, ultimately elevating it to the moral heights of protecting the Primordial world and achieving perfect merit.

This was no longer a simple case of coercion and temptation.

Hong Jun fell into silence.

His mind was now in turmoil, thinking that the Three Pure Ones were both right and wrong.

Refuse? Does he still have the capital to refuse now?

His primordial energy was severely damaged, and with these three joining forces, he had no power to resist.

Accept? It seemed... not entirely devoid of benefits either.

If he could really, as they said, proactively merge into a controllable new Heavenly Dao and cultivate using its power, perhaps he could truly break through his current predicament and even glimpse that legendary higher realm.

What's more, he indeed harbored deep feelings for the Primordial world and its myriad living beings.

If he could continue protecting them in this way, it seemed... not entirely unacceptable.

[Daoist, begin alchemy!] Xuanqing gave Taishang a signal.

Taishang immediately opened the furnace for alchemy.

Xuanqing waved his hand and built a palace in this chaos, on which was inscribed "Purple Cloud Palace".

Yu Chen saw it and almost laughed out loud.

Purple Cloud, isn't that Meng Wuyou's alias?

Seeing the changing expression on Hong Jun's face, fluctuating between gloom and brightness, Xuanqing knew his mind was already wavering, so he continued with his persuasion: "Don't worry, Daoist Ancestor; taking the elixir won't cause immediate harmonization."

"Daoist Ancestor cares for the Primordial world and has the great responsibility of teaching the world; only then can you leave with peace of mind."

Hong Jun's expression was evidently somewhat dazed: "Indeed, I wield the Holy Artifact of education and am meant to teach under the heavens."

"Only by transmitting the Dao can harmonization be achieved more effectively!"

"Yes, it's like that."

Hong Jun's thoughts became increasingly chaotic, yet his expression grew more resolute.

Soon, auspicious light floated gently, and the scent of the elixir filled the air.

Xuanqing's tone was gentle but carried an unquestionable decisiveness: "Daoist Ancestor, it's time to take the medicine!"

"The 'Innate Dao Nine Revolutions Undying Primordial Chaos Pill' is prepared for you."

"Take this pill, and we will assist you in harmonizing with the Dao."

"This is an act of following destiny and being in harmony with humanity. It's also the only way to resolve all causal ties between us and create a better future for the Primordial world."

Hong Jun asked: "Where's the elixir?"

Xuanqing replied: "The elixir... is in the pill furnace."

Hong Jun's gaze fell on the Purple Gold Eight Diagrams Furnace.

Taishang took the Purple Gold Gourd, collected the Primordial Chaos Pill, and then handed it to Hong Jun.

"Harmonization... harmonization." Hong Jun's gaze grew firmer.

He poured out the Primordial Chaos Pill.

"I... to hell with you all!"

At the last moment, a glimmer of clarity flashed in Hong Jun's eyes.

He threw the red pill aside and turned to leave.

"Daoist Ancestor, where are you going?" Xuanqing grabbed his sleeve and swung out the Soul Hook, pulling him back.

"Daoist Ancestor, take my hammer!" Yu Chen clasped his other hand, pulling out the Innate Unlimited Purple Lightning Hammer, and struck Hong Jun down with it.

Taishang retrieved the elixir, stepped forward quickly, and stuffed the Primordial Chaos Pill into Hong Jun's mouth.

"Daoist Ancestor, it's time to take the medicine!"

[You... you all wait, don't let me find a chance!]

Hong Jun ended in a way he had never imagined, or perhaps was reborn anew.

Because the effects of the medicine took hold.

[Nine Revolutions Undying?] Hong Jun's vision went black.
