Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Zhen Yuanzi smiled knowingly as he watched Hongyun almost run away.

As Hongyun had arranged, Zhen Yuanzi doubled the frequency of his sermons, distributed a lot of black jade plum blossoms to them, and refined magical treasures for each of them.

He even personally went to the Sun Star to retrieve branches of the Fusang Tree and plant them. The three-legged golden crow perched on the Fusang Tree, making cultivation twice as effective. Zhen Yuanzi used many methods to ensure the survival and growth of the Fusang Tree in Wuzhuang Temple, setting up layer upon layer of barriers before he felt at ease letting Huiyu revert to her original form.

However, Yu Sheng and Yu Heng secretly cried again when they saw the Fusang tree. They were no longer the three-legged golden crows, and could no longer roam freely in the sky with their brothers, sleep on the Fusang tree, or play in the Valley of Tang.

Three hundred years later, Huiyu broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Four hundred years later, Kong Xuan broke through to the Quasi-Saint level and went into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation.

Six hundred years later, Yu Sheng and Yu Heng also achieved breakthroughs.

Following the initial encouragement given to them, Hongyun took them to Kunlun Mountain as guests, leaving the remaining disciples with Zhen Yuanzi.

Before leaving, Zhen Yuanzi earnestly instructed: "You are already saints, role models for others. You must not act willfully or recklessly, and you must not fool around with Tongtian anymore."

Hongyun retorted defiantly, "Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. What can I do to be willful?"

Zhen Yuanzi: I've never been a child. When have I ever gone out without being willful?

"I cannot go with you. Remember not to meddle in other people's business, not to get involved in karma, and to avoid being alone with Tongtian."

Perhaps still not entirely at ease after giving Hongyun these instructions, he turned to Huiyu, who was just around Hongyun's waist: "Keep an eye on your master Hongyun. If he causes trouble, send word back, and I'll come to fetch you!"

"Yes, Master!" Huiyu replied respectfully.

Hongyun was speechless. How unreliable must he be to have Zhen Yuanzi instruct a child who only reached his waist to watch over him?

Should he thank Zhen Yuanzi for not reminding the three-headed Yu Sheng and Yu Heng?

Hongyun had been holding back for a long time, but she couldn't take it anymore. She placed one hand on Huiyu's head and looked at him, saying, "If Huiyu were any taller, I wouldn't say anything if you told him to. But look at him, he's the kind of person who might not even be able to find his way back if he goes out on his own. Making him watch over me, isn't that a bit insulting?"

Zhen Yuanzi was amused once again: "Can a Great Luo Golden Immortal not find his way home?"

"Even if you can't find it, it can't be lost."

Hongyun stared wide-eyed at Zhen Yuanzi, her gaze filled with resentment.

How could you humiliate me like this, a friend of many years? He's already a saint, and yet he managed to get lost. That would truly make him famous, surpassing even the other saints.

It was rare for Zhen Yuanzi to humiliate Hongyun, so he laughed heartily.

He concluded with a final warning: "If you still want to go to Kunlun Mountain, don't mess around with Tongtian anymore, or Yuanshi really will erect a monument at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, forbidding you from entering!"

Hongyun pursed her lips, thinking to herself: Otherwise, they're going to separate soon anyway, so what difference does it make whether they let me go or not!

Meanwhile, Tongtian of Kunlun Mountain, having learned in advance that Hongyun was going to take his disciples to visit guests, was excitedly arranging accommodations when he was summoned by Yuanshi.

"Second Brother, what do you want?" Tongtian was so engrossed in the joy of finally ending years of boredom that he hadn't noticed his second brother's increasingly dark face.

Yuanshi cleared his throat: "Fellow Daoist Hongyun has come to Kunlun Mountain as a guest, and Kunlun Mountain should naturally treat you well. However, Xuandu's current cultivation level as a Quasi-Saint is sufficient to handle these matters, so you don't need to bother."
