Hao Yun was actually quite vague about the Dao. He was able to cultivate to the level of a Quasi-Saint because of the cultivation experience left behind by Xu.
However, it was enough to fool Hongjun, so Hao Yun started spouting nonsense to him.
Seeing Hongjun's thoughtful expression, Hao Yun couldn't help but find it amusing.
If it weren't for preventing the collapse of the main world, Hao Yun wouldn't be cultivating so diligently; he would have already found a world full of beautiful women to live a carefree life.
The two sat and discussed the Dao, without uttering any profound pronouncements or any unusual occurrences in the world.
However, Hao Yun sensed that Hongjun was about to break through.
Upon seeing this, Hao Yun immediately fell silent. If Hongjun were to break through to the Quasi-Saint level, things would get interesting.
Hongjun's rising momentum slowed, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Fellow Daoist?"
Hao Yun smiled without saying a word, and finally Hongjun shook his head with a bitter smile and sighed inwardly.
"Please rest assured, fellow Daoist, I am prepared for my demise. It's just a pity that I'm one step away from breaking through. Fellow Daoist, please make your move."
A golden ball of light the size of an egg appeared. Hongjun smiled slightly as he recalled his cultivation journey from the birth of his consciousness to the present day.
Forcibly suppressing the Heavenly Dao Origin within his body, Hao Yun looked at Hongjun suspiciously. He hadn't expected Hongjun to offer up the Heavenly Dao Origin on his own initiative.
"Are you really going to sacrifice yourself?"
Hongjun smiled and nodded, showing no intention of resisting.
"Then I'll really get started!"
Hao Yun released the Heavenly Dao within his body, holding it back to prevent it from rushing forward.
"Let's get started."
Hongjun closed his eyes and quietly awaited his demise.
Sizzle!
The Heavenly Dao's origin before Hongjun shattered, and the origin of the main world, like a hungry wolf, devoured the Heavenly Dao of this world in a few moments.
Hongjun's body began to fade, transforming from a physical entity into a phantom, and he began to perish from the very beginning.
"Why!"
At the last moment, Hao Yun softened and began to explain the true meaning of the Dao, as a way of thanking Hongjun.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist. If I hear the Dao in the morning, I can die content in the evening!"
Hongjun, now in ethereal form, began his transformation, progressing from a Great Luo Golden Immortal to a Quasi-Saint.
Under Hao Yun's watchful gaze, Hongjun successfully broke through, and his cultivation level continued to rise.
not good!
Realizing something was wrong, Hao Yun immediately recalled the origin of the world and prepared to flee.
After breaking through to the Quasi-Saint level, Hongjun quickly advanced towards the Saint level.
From the cultivation experience left behind by Xu, Hao Yun knew how terrifying a sage was. If Hongjun successfully broke through to become a sage, he would be in big trouble.
Without saying a word, Hao Yun opened the portal.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait."
Hongjun's ethereal form materialized, successfully evolving into a Heavenly Saint.
"Farewell!"
Hao Yun wasn't going to be foolish enough to stay behind; he simply slipped through the portal and ran away.
As Hao Yun entered the time tunnel, Hongjun made his move to pull Hao Yun out, but he was a step too late.
Back in the virtual palace, Hao Yun wiped the cold sweat from his brow.
"Damn! I'm still too green. I actually got fooled by this old codger and almost got killed."
Still shaken, Hao Yun took out the Heavenly Dao Origin to examine it, and his expression instantly turned extremely gloomy.
I've been scammed! I actually got scammed!
Biting his lip, Hao Yun was filled with rage, wishing he could go back and kill that old bastard Hongjun!
The improvement gained from the Heavenly Dao Origin was not significant. Logically speaking, devouring the Heavenly Dao Origin of a middle-thousand world would replenish many of the missing parts.
However, only a small portion of the Heavenly Dao Origin in Hao Yun's possession has been replenished, indicating that the Heavenly Dao Origin that Hongjun presented was not the complete one.
No wonder he was able to break through to the Heavenly Dao Saint level instead of the Great Dao Saint level. It turns out that this old guy had a trick up his sleeve; he still had the Heavenly Dao Origin within him.
Actually, this can't be blamed on Hongjun. It can only be blamed on Hao Yun's lack of experience. Hongjun merged with the Heavenly Dao, but he didn't control much of the Heavenly Dao's origin.
The origin of the Heavenly Dao in the Middle Thousand Worlds is mostly in the hands of the Heavenly Dao itself; Hongjun only controls a small portion.
"I'm so angry!"
Hao Yun was getting a little frustrated. If Xu were still around, that bastard wouldn't dare to be so arrogant. Even if he broke through to the Heavenly Dao Saint level, he would definitely not be Xu's match.
"Why!"
Squatting on the ground, Hao Yun began drawing circles, cursing that old bastard Hongjun to the point of choking to death with his saliva.
"How naive I was!"
With a sigh, Hao Yun secretly resolved that he must never be soft-hearted again and must be ruthless. If he encountered a situation like this again, he must kill without hesitation!
Chapter 243 Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-
After calming down, Hao Yun could only continue his journey through time, searching for other worlds to devour their origins in order to fill the gaps in the main world's origin.
To prevent the destruction of the main world, Hao Yun had no choice but to work diligently.
"Alas! There is no such thing as a peaceful and carefree life; it's just that someone is bearing the burden!"
After glancing at the main world and at his parents who were living peacefully, Hao Yun broke through the time tunnel and headed to the next world.
Successfully traversed the area and landed smoothly.
Hao Yun began to observe this world, and after just one glance, he was shocked.
What kind of place is this? Orcs? Lizards that can pull carts?
Just as Hao Yun was about to extend his divine sense to investigate, an invisible force locked onto him.
"Oh no, we've been discovered!"
Hao Yun immediately shielded his aura and suppressed the origin of his inner world.
Unseen gazes swept over him, but Hao Yun pretended to be nonchalant and blended into the crowd.
With the stares gone, Hao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself.
"The origin of this world is quite vigilant; it discovered me the moment I landed. It seems I need to be careful."
Plundering the source is no easy task. If Hao Yun were to swagger over and devour the other party, the other party would definitely fight desperately. Even if they couldn't destroy the world's source of the main world, they would do everything in their power to eliminate Hao Yun.
It might even self-destruct, dragging Hao Yun and the origin of the main world down with it.
If Hao Yun possessed genuine strength, he wouldn't need to fear these things at all. Capturing the origin of a small world would be no different than capturing a chick.
Concealing himself, Hao Yun began to think about how to secretly plunder the origin of this world. If the other party did not discover him, he could sneak over, release the origin of the main world to bite him, and then run away.
But now that I've been discovered, the other party definitely won't let me get close.
"%%￥￥#@"
Hearing birdsong, Hao Yun turned his head and looked at the boy shouting in the street, whose clothes were completely different from those of this world. He couldn't help but use his divine sense to probe into the boy's brain.
"Holy crap! I finally know where I am, 486!"
Hao Yun exclaimed in surprise, his expression somewhat complicated. Before being chosen by the virtual selection, Hao Yun often watched anime and movies.
486 is one of them; this world is an alternate world where life starts from zero.
"Huh?"
Hao Yun scanned the Japanese high school student, 486, with his divine sense and sensed a trace of the origin of the world within him.
"A witch?"
Hao Yun stroked his chin and began to recall the plot of the anime.
If he hadn't interfered, Subaru would be the protagonist, well... the protagonist who suffered the most.
Basically, 486's gameplay revolves around being killed, resurrected, killed again, and resurrected again...
As for why he was able to be resurrected, it was all thanks to the witch.
When the topic of witches came up, Hao Yun recalled some information about them. It is said that many years ago, there were several witches in this world.
One of the witches devoured the others and took control of half of the world's origin.
The witch wreaked havoc, but was eventually sealed away by a dragon and a great mage.
Hao Yun narrowed his eyes, and his gaze towards 486 changed. Since the witch had chosen him, could he find the witch through him, steal and devour the world's origin that she controlled?
As soon as this idea came to mind, Hao Yun's gaze towards 486 became intense, for this was half of the origin of a small world!
By reading 486's memory, Hao Yun successfully obtained the other party's language.
"Wow! I've been transported to another world! The beautiful girl who summoned me is here!"
As an otaku, Subaru was deeply addicted. After a brief moment of shock, he was completely engrossed in excitement.
Hao Yun could understand this feeling. After all, everyone who travels to another world thinks they are the protagonist and have a halo.
In reality, that's exactly the case. Even without a halo, they all have cheat codes, each one more awesome than the last.
"Hey sir, wanna buy some fruit?"
A green-haired, fierce-looking, muscular fruit stall owner on the street started trying to sell fruit to 486.
Hao Yun, who was standing not far away, began to observe secretly. This was 486's first save point, which was also his respawn point after death.
When I first watched this anime, some people even said that the fruit stand owner was one of the bosses.
