Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

Zhou Yi keenly caught the fleeting hesitation in Zhu Yin's eyes, and with a slight smile, he confidently said, "Let me show you something."

Then, a large ball of golden light of merit bloomed in his palm, illuminating the surroundings.

To others, it was just a strange light, but to Zhuyin, it meant much more than that, and his eyes widened instantly.

His eyes were filled with shock and longing.

"Why do you possess such a vast amount of golden light of merit?" Zhuyin asked, his voice trembling slightly.

Although this golden light of merit seemed ordinary and unremarkable, in Zhuyin's eyes it was extremely precious.

Possessing this golden light of merit is enough to allow anyone to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm without any risk. This is an opportunity that countless cultivators dream of, and now, this opportunity is clearly presented before his eyes.

"Now you can rest assured, right?" Zhou Yi said.

At this moment, Zhuyin was completely attracted by the golden light. He seemed to hear only the buzzing sound of the flashing golden light and could no longer hear Zhou Yi's words clearly. His eyes were fixed on the golden light.

Judging from Zhou Yi's attitude, Zhu Yin realized that this golden light of merit was not indispensable to her.

In fact, Zhou Yi never relied on merit to enhance its power. The large amount of merit obtained in the past was either integrated into objects and transformed into treasures, or it was used to ignite divine fire at the critical moment of pursuing the Way of Literature, purifying the literary energy.

It's perfect every time I use it.

"You won't lose out by exchanging this for this cooperation. This is exactly what you need right now, am I right?" Zhou Yi's words rang in Zhu Yin's ears again.

Ao Yin, standing to the side, quietly observed everything. Although he was not clear about the core content of the conversation between the two, he vaguely sensed from Zhu Yin's reaction and Zhou Yi's confident expression that his ancestor seemed to have been caught by the other party.

"Cooperation is possible, but now that you've offered the Golden Light of Merit, what else do you hope to gain from me?" Zhuyin finally asked.

Hearing this, Zhou Yi's smile didn't fade, and she answered decisively, "A magic weapon!" Although the food court's business could provide her with a continuous supply of magic weapons, the number of high-quality magic weapons was limited.

In the past, these magical tools might have been sufficient to deal with various situations, but the situation is different now, and this issue has long attracted the attention of the I Ching.

After all, even top human experts like Xiao Ling'er and Shan are lacking in spiritual treasures, which is clearly a problem that needs to be solved.

The fact that the dragons actively sought cooperation suggests that everyone knows the dragons possess abundant treasures.

The Book of Changes would naturally not miss this excellent opportunity.

Zhu Yin remained silent for a moment, as if a fierce debate was taking place in his mind. On the one hand, he believed that the transaction was not equitable and that he had gotten a great deal.

A doubt arose in his mind: could this be a trap?

After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Despite these considerations, his current situation made him desperately need the merits of those golden lights.

After internal struggle and weighing the options, he finally nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yi smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Zhuyin said, "In that case, let Aoyin take you back to the Endless Seas. We'll settle this face to face: you give me your merits, and I'll give you a spiritual treasure."

Hearing this, Ao Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

He was extremely anxious because he was caught between the two men and unable to move.

However, Zhou Yi gently waved his hand, indicating, "No need. With your flame, I can find your location."

These words startled Zhu Yin. He was in the deepest part of the Endless Sea, where the environment was so special that even using magic was extremely difficult.

How could it be found just by a single flame?

But what happened next shocked him even more.

A golden mountain appeared behind Zhou Yi, with various mysterious and luminous characters floating on it.

Then, the character "追" (chase) flew out from the text, and a purple flame touched it. Instantly, the character "追" transformed into an arrow pointing into the distance.

"See you soon."

After Zhou Yi finished speaking to Zhu Yin, he soared into the sky.

"Zhou Yi is indeed quite capable; I wonder how he will reveal himself."

Zhuyin gazed in the direction they had left, pondering to himself.

The answer was soon revealed.

It was as if a depth charge had been dropped on the endless seas, with a deafening roar and surging, splashing waves.

Zhou Yi swiftly submerged into the sea, steadily navigating the turbulent waters, the arrow still pointing towards the endless depths of the four seas.

Speeding along the direction of the arrow, inside the Dragon Palace, two other dragons seemed to be awakened by some force, suddenly opening their eyes, their eyes filled with astonishment.

"Oh no! Enemy attack!"

They shouted almost simultaneously and immediately flew toward the Book of Changes.

It quickly transformed into its true form, its enormous dragon body like a mountain range blocking her path, attempting to stop her advance.

"Who are you? Stop right now!" they shouted.

But Zhou Yi seemed to ignore their words and continued on his way.

He lightly extended his hand and waved it seemingly casually.

The two enormous dragon bodies were pushed aside, and the seawater surged due to this force, forming a huge whirlpool.

The two dragons were stunned, hardly believing their eyes. They revealed their true forms and tried their best to block, but were pushed away so easily.

How is that possible?

They are preparing to cast their spells again, attempting to use the seawater to stop the progress of the I Ching.

However, Zhou Yi merely glanced at them, and his gaze seemed to possess a magical power, instantly freezing them in place.

At that moment, a sigh came from the depths of the endless seas; it was the voice of Zhuyin: "No need to stop him, he has come to find me."

Upon hearing this, the two dragons reverted to human form, staring blankly at Zhou Yi's departing figure. Suddenly, they remembered Ao Yin, who had been sent to the human world, as if recalling an important clue.

"Could this be the legendary human Zhou Yi?"

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock. Meanwhile, Zhou Yi had already ventured deep into the boundless seas, his golden light illuminating the dark underwater world like the sun.

The enormous body of Zhuyin was already waiting there, and when it saw the Book of Changes, it was also deeply shocked.

It could sense the powerful aura emanating from the Book of Changes, a power that even its elder brother in his prime could not match, let alone itself now that it was trapped.

"A literary sage? He truly lives up to his name," Zhu Yin thought to himself.

Zhou Yi was also observing Zhu Yin, especially the chains wrapped around it, which were filled with heavy karma that almost overwhelmed Zhu Yin.

Zhu Yin's gaze fell on the words in front of Zhou Yi, his eyes revealing surprise and understanding.

Even during the most prosperous era of the dragon race, their research on writing was far less profound than that of the human race.

Looking at these things created by humans, Zhu Yin felt a mix of emotions, which ultimately turned into a sincere exclamation: "Humans are truly extraordinary in their methods and their strength is unfathomable."

"You flatter me, senior. Your spirit is equally admirable," Zhou Yi replied with a smile.
