In Untainted Land, Hong Meng Immortal Qi disappeared just after Hongyun's death. The Individual Cultivators who wanted to strike scattered and left. They were not aware that, deep in the mountains billions of meters away from Wuzhuang Taoist Temple, a Taoist with a red robe stood with a deathly pale face. But there was a smile on his face. Was that not the supposedly dead Hongyun?

Hongyun sat with his legs crossed and regulated his breath for a while, as a healthy complexion returned to his face. He looked towards Wuzhuang Taoist Temple with a proud expression. "Hmm, you're all too slow to rob my Foundation of the Great Way. I came up with this trick to get out and kill thousands of Da Luo Golden Immortals. It's a pity that I didn't manage to kill those Sages-to-be. When I become a Sage, I'll avenge my Good Separation."

It was Hongyun's Good Separation that exploded earlier. It was in the Early Stage of Sage-to-be and separated from his Wind and Fire Fan, a Mid Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure. With Hongyun's cultivation, he could actually avoid the surveillance of Da Luo Golden Immortals. However, it was pointless as the Sages-to-be had laid numerous traps outside. Hongyun had no way to run.

So he baited them with his Good Separation. He first launched a sneak attack, killing several Da Luo Golden Immortals, and drew off the Individual Cultivators. He then seized the chance to run in the opposite direction and escaped. But what he pulled off was incredibly dangerous. Everything would have been for naught if the slightest mishap happened.

Hongyun's Good Separation was in the Early Stage, which was not that much different than his true self in the Secondary Stage of Sage-to-be. Yet there were stark differences between Ranks in the Realm of Sage-to-be. If he allowed things to drag on, it would be obvious to others that he was using his Good Separation. Thus, Hongyun decided to forgo everything and lay down a Formation to blow himself up. The Good Separation exploded as well, disguising the truth that it was not Hongyun himself.

With his Good Separation destroyed, Hongyun was also badly hurt. His Original Spirit was injured and his Humanly Flower of the Three Flowers almost withered. Fortunately, he could still gather the pieces of his Good Separation. But before that can happen, Hongyun had to mend his injuries and cultivate the Humanly Flower again, so he can recall his Good Separation using the Primordial Spiritual Treasure. It would just cost him a lot of time, perhaps tens of thousands of years or more.

When Hongyun felt a little better, he continued on his way. He was cautious and completely hid the vital force around him. He did not even dare ride the clouds and only walked on the ground with his Magic Skills. It was much slower, but safer.

Before long, he felt numerous ice swords running down his back. Shocked, Hongyun realized it was a sneak attack. He called the red gourd on his waist and red sand surged from the mouth of the red gourd, devouring the ice swords. At this moment, an eagle-eyed and crooked-nosed Taoist walked out of the forest. Like Hongyun, he was one of the 3,000 cultivators who listened to the sermon in Zixiao Palace. It was the Taoist Kunpeng.

Kunpeng thought Hongyun looked like a burnt child dreading a fire and sneered. "Hongyun, where were you going? You pulled a good trick, making a fool of those idiots. What a pity to destroy your Good Separation to kill thousands of Da Luo Golden Immortals. That's really a good trick, but it's hard to imagine it's something the honest man of Untainted Land would do."

Hongyun stared at Kunpeng bitterly. Facing with Kunpeng's sarcasm, he asked angrily, "Kunpeng, there's no enmity between us. Why did you attack me? Was it for the Hong Meng Immortal Qi?" That was the only reason he could think about.

Kunpeng scoffed. "No enmity? When we were in Zixiao Palace, if you haven't given your place to Zhunti, I wouldn't have lost the chance to be a Sage. But why did you still end up getting the Foundation of the Great Way? Of course I need to demand an explanation. If you give me Hong Meng Immortal Qi, I'll consider our old scores settled. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel."

Hongyun said angrily, "How was it my business that you lost out on being a Sage? You should go to Zhunti and Honoured Lord of the Origin. Don't dream about my Foundation of the Great Way. We're both in the Secondary Stage of Sage-to-be. Once we fight, I'm afraid it'll be hard to decide a victory. If those Individual Cultivators return, you can never get Hong Meng Immortal Qi." Hongyun was so desperate he pinned the blame on Honoured Lord of the Origin and Zhunti, who both forced Kunpeng to leave.

Kunpeng smiled coldly. "I'll deal with Zhunti and Honoured Lord of the Origin when I become a Sage. But our enmity should end today. Since your Good Separation has been destroyed, you must also be seriously injured. It won't take much to kill you."

Hongyun's expression worsened when Kunpeng pointed out his weakness. His Good Separation was destroyed and he himself was affected. It was hard for him to exert all his strength. He should go while he still had the chance. Thinking of this, Hongyun wiped his red gourd and numerous red sand surged from its mouth towards Kunpeng. He himself retreated quickly, wanting to escape.

With a sneer, Kunpeng waved his sleeves and astral wind emerged from his cuffs, instantly blowing the red sand away. He then transformed into a large bird, spreading its wings and flying towards Hongyun. In Untainted Land, only a few people were faster than Kunpeng. Hongyun was obviously not one of those people.

In just a short while, the bird caught up with Hongyun, its sharp claws mauling his heart from behind him. Hongyun evaded Kunpeng's attack, but when he turned around, Kunpeng had blocked his way. Hongyun was forced to stop. It seemed that it was impossible for him to run.

Kunpeng looked at Hongyun, smiling coldly. "Hongyun, don't waste your time. In terms of speed, you're slower than me. Hurry up and give me Hong Meng Immortal Qi and I'll spare your life. If you lost your life, you would end up with nothing. What use would Hong Meng Immortal Qi be to you then?"

Kunpeng obviously wanted to defeat Hongyun without a fight. Once they battle, he would not be able to win in a short period. As Hongyun's words, it would be bad for both of them if they attracted the attention of those Individual Cultivators. Besides, what worried Kunpeng the most was the actions of Emperor Jun at Heavenly Court and the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery. If things dragged on, Hong Meng Immortal Qi would never belong to him.

Hongyun gritted his teeth. "Kunpeng, stop dreaming about my Hong Meng Immortal Qi. I'd rather die than give it to you. You speak too much nonsense. If you want a fight, I'll give you one. Take this! I'll use the Nine Nine Spirit-Killing and Life-killing Red Sand to kill you."

Hongyun picked up the Nine Nine Spirit-Killing Gourd in Mount Buzhou. It was a Top Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure, containing spirit-killing red sand that could kill a person's soul and body. It was the most toxic Magic Weapon. Hongyun did not give in this time. Since he could not escape, he could only try and finish their fight as soon as possible.

All the red sand flew towards Kunpeng, carrying with them an unpleasant smell. Red light veiled the Heaven and Earth. Kunpeng dared not be careless. This time, the red sand was much stronger and plentiful than before. He could no longer deal with them with just the Astral Wind from a flick of his sleeves.

A mini palace appeared in Kunpeng's hand. When he murmured incantations, the palace began spraying black water, rushing to the red sand. The palace was Kunpeng's Eternal Spiritual Treasure, a Top Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure. After he created the demon characters, he engraved the characters on his treasure, greatly enhancing its power. So Kunpeng named the treasure Demon Palace.

The red sand and black water clashed, not yielding to each other. Hongyun activated the Nine Nine Spirit-Killing Gourd as he cast his Taoist Seal. He muttered, "Clouds gather, winds blow, all things change. Red sand fills the sky killing people's spirit and body. Nine Nine Red Cloud Formation, begin!"

It was once again the Red Cloud Formation, but this time it was an improved tactical formation with the Nine Nine Spirit-Killing Gourd as the Eye of Formation. The Formation contained not only the power of thunder and fire, but also the spirit-killing red sand, which was further strengthened.

Laced with thunder and fire, the red sand attacked Kunpeng. He immediately felt more pressure and had to contract his defense. The Northern Underworld black water wrapped around him like an iron bastion. Though the red sand paired with thunder and fire attacked Kunpeng brutally, it was hard to break through his defense.

Hongyun worried that if the fight continued, they would attract attention. Looking at the huge Red Cloud Formation, Kunpeng sneered and activated the Demon Palace. "Ice swords, break the formation." The treasure hurled ice swords with great power.

A sound similar to Kunpeng's voice floated into the Formation from outside. It said, "Astral Wind of Nine Heavens, break the formation." Hongyun was shocked when the ice swords and Astral Wind simultaneously attacked the Formation from the inside and outside. The red sand, together with thunder and fire, was annihilated and his Formation instantly collapsed.
