Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 10 Zhen Yuanzi's Strange Encounters

Fortunately, since it is an acquired restriction, it is weaker than an innate restriction. At least with Hongyun's cultivation level, he can slowly refine the first forty-eight restrictions.

As for the final layer of restrictions, that will be quite challenging. Don't underestimate this final layer of restrictions; in the primordial world, there are many spiritual treasures with forty-eight layers of restrictions.

However, those with forty-nine layers, which can be called supreme treasures, are extremely rare.

The difficulty of this final layer of restriction is often many times greater than the combined difficulty of the previous forty-eight layers of restriction.

Hongyun wasn't greedy. As long as he could refine nearly half of the restrictions on the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, he could slowly break through the rest through sheer effort.

In any case, the Primordial Measuring Ruler is already in his hands. This treasure is not only powerful, but most importantly, it can help him suppress his destiny.

Generally speaking, acquired treasures cannot suppress one's fortune, but since it is a treasure of merit, what can one do?

Acquired treasures cannot suppress destiny, but treasures of merit can.

However, Hongyun did not expect that it would not be long before he had managed to refine two or three layers of restrictions on the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

An unexpected event forced him to leave seclusion.

Zhen Yuanzi has also come to the Wu tribe.

Hongyun was somewhat confused. She hadn't revealed that she was from the Witch Clan, had she? How did Zhen Yuanzi get here?

Ok.

It's Houtu again.

Hongyun never expected that he and the Zhen Yuanzi brothers could be captured in one fell swoop.

That's enough, right? Good brothers share both hardship and happiness.

The moment Hongyun saw Zhen Yuanzi, she gave him the Fire Cloud Shuttle she had obtained.

However, Zhen Yuanzi turned around and took out a white lotus flower of the ninth grade and gave it to Hongyun, which made Hongyun's eyes widen.

"You... Pure Lotus of the World?" Hongyun asked in disbelief.

"Where did you go?" Hongyun asked again as soon as she finished speaking. This was because it perfectly matched the plot of some later prehistoric fantasy novels.

A certain time traveler went to the East Sea and found the three immortal islands of Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang. On the islands, he gathered a family of pure white lotuses that had lived together for generations.

So, Zhen Yuanzi was also a time traveler?

"East China Sea."

Zhen Yuanzi spoke succinctly, then casually pulled out an even larger twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus, saying, "I went to the East Sea and happened to come across a fairy island called Yingzhou. On the island, I found these two white lotuses growing in pairs."

"How about it? I'll use this 12th grade one, and I'll give you this 9th grade one." Zhen Yuanzi was filled with a sense of accomplishment as the elder brother.

Although his cultivation level was not as high as Hongyun's, he felt that he still had a firm grip on Hongyun's treasures.

Looking at the ninth-grade Pure World White Lotus presented to her, Hongyun resisted the urge to continue competing with Zhen Yuanzi.

The two brothers, reunited, naturally had a lot to say to each other.

What they talked about were their respective experiences, after learning that Hongyun had not only found a grotto-heaven no less than Longevity Mountain.

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but feel a little worried and asked Hongyun if she had any plans to move to Huoyun Cave.

However, Hongyun said that he only regarded Huoyun Cave as a separate residence, and Zhenyuanzi then laughed and said: "It just so happens that I also obtained a separate residence this time. The spiritual energy of Yingzhou Island is no less than that of our Wanshou Mountain."

"If you have time in the future, you can go and have a look with me."

"By the way, didn't you say you could get that Enlightenment Tea Tree? Where is it?" Zhen Yuanzi asked again.

Hongyun took out the Treasure Plate and asked Zhenyuanzi to look into it.

Good heavens, Zhen Yuanzi almost burst out laughing, because the Enlightenment Tea Tree in the Treasure Plate was completely bare.

There wasn't a single leaf left.

"So, there's no tea left to drink now?" Zhen Yuanzi asked.

"There are still some."

Hongyun said, "I didn't expect those Ancestral Witches to like drinking tea so much. I simply broke off a few branches of the tea tree and let them plant them themselves."

Hongyun then took out several tea canisters from the treasure plate; these were the tea leaves he had treasured for Zhen Yuanzi.

"Although they all grow on the same tree, each leaf is different. The ones I've left for you are the best. Come, let me teach you how to brew tea."

So Hongyun made another tea set and demonstrated how to boil, brew, and drink tea.

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi smelled the aroma of the tea and said, "Is there really so much to it about drinking a cup of tea?"

"But it is quite elegant."

"Later, let's hold a tea and fruit gathering in the backyard of Wuzhuang Temple. It will be even more enjoyable to drink tea and enjoy fruit together."

Hongyun also strongly agreed with this.

When Hongyun took out the twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls he had obtained, as well as the Primordial Measuring Ruler, or more precisely, the Primordial Measuring Ruler.

Zhen Yuanzi's eyes widened in surprise. "You mean, this Primordial Measuring Ruler was a gift from the Ancestral Witches?"

"They're so generous?"

Hongyun nodded, and Zhen Yuanzi immediately felt a pang of regret, saying, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Fellow Daoist Houtu also told me to go to the treasure vault to take one item, but I felt I shouldn't covet other people's treasures, so I didn't go."

However, Zhen Yuanzi didn't dwell on it. Instead, he was happy for Hongyun. Suddenly, he changed the subject and started talking about another thing that had happened to him.

"Brother, do you think there are any higher realms above the Great Luo Golden Immortal?" Zhen Yuanzi asked.

"Um?"

"After I found Yingzhou Island in the East China Sea, I unintentionally stumbled into another island, which was called Fangzhang."

Zhen Yuanzi said, "Moreover, this Fangzhang Island is even more magical. Although it is located in the East China Sea, it is actually just a point in space that overlaps with the East China Sea. It will only truly appear on the sea at specific times."

"Otherwise, at other times, this island is actually hidden deep within the infinite void."

Upon hearing this, Hongyun's heart was filled with turbulent emotions, and she couldn't help but ask, "Then what treasure did you obtain on Fangzhang Island, brother?"

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said, "I don't have any treasures, but I met an old Taoist priest on the island."

"An old Taoist priest?"

"Hmm, a Taoist priest who looks very old, his eyebrows are very long." Zhen Yuanzi gestured and said, "They almost drag on the ground."

"The old Taoist's cultivation level is very high, it can be said to be unfathomable, and it definitely surpasses that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal."

"The old Taoist was also somewhat surprised by my appearance, so he talked to me about some things that had happened on the primordial land."

"By the way, Hongyun, do you know who Hongjun is?" Zhen Yuanzi suddenly asked.

"Hongjun?"

Hongyun was already stunned, and at this moment she only subconsciously replied with a sentence.

Zhen Yuanzi had no idea how significant the name Hongjun was to Hongyun; he simply assumed that Hongyun didn't know who Hongjun was either.

Zhen Yuanzi continued, "That old Taoist mentioned the name Hongjun many times, saying that the immortal path in the prehistoric world actually originated from Taoist Hongjun."

"Do you think this is believable?" Zhen Yuanzi asked.
