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

Chapter 310

The nine-headed pheasant spirit, having been so humiliated, naturally retorted, "What you say, Daoist, makes you seem so noble. If you truly look down on a mere demon like me, why did you take my son away?"

What's the point of taking in a son? The Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit doesn't have Ji Chang's penchant for this. He was about to refuse earlier, but he just didn't have the chance.

Now is the perfect time!

Ji Chang gently reprimanded her, "Xi Mei, don't talk nonsense!"

Although he had heard the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit explain the differences between the Chan and Jie sects, and although he didn't have much faith in the Chan sect, he had no better choice at the moment.

You can't just hold on to the only straw that's left to save you until you get ashore, or grab onto an even thicker straw.

"It would be a blessing for my son if the Daoist Master were willing to teach him," Ji Chang said, and was about to hand the child over to Yun Zhongzi.

"My lord, please name this child."

Upon hearing that Ji Chang was going to hand the child over to him, Yun Zhongzi smiled. It was fortunate that this Marquis of Xibo was pragmatic, knew what the will of Heaven was, and could distinguish between the orthodox lineage of immortals and demons.

With his cultivation level, he would have naturally discovered the child abandoned in the wilderness long ago. However, he could not simply take the child in.

This child has a father-son relationship with Ji Chang, and must be personally handed over to him by Ji Chang to become his substitute for the calamity.

Ji Chang would name the child and then hand the child over to him, so that the child could protect him from calamity.

The Chan Sect has always followed the will of Heaven. If he forcibly seizes this child and takes him back to Zhongnan Mountain, he will be going against the will of Heaven.

Although the actions may seem similar, the different procedures lead to completely different results.

Ji Chang laughed and said, "This child was born in response to thunder and lightning, so let's name him Lei Zhenzi!"

Boom!

As his voice fell, a thunderclap appeared out of nowhere in the void.

Then, the baby in Ji Chang's arms burst into laughter.

But as the baby was laughing, a look of utter terror suddenly appeared on its face.

The Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit and Yun Zhongzi both looked up at the sky, one in shock and the other in fury.

The moment he heard Zhen Yuanzi's cries, Yun Zhongzi reacted instantly. A pillar-like magical artifact appeared in his hand.

Immediately, a dragon's roar resounded. Forty-nine fire dragons coiled up and protected Lei Zhenzi within them.

"hey-hey."

Seeing Yun Zhongzi react so quickly, Wu Yunxian, dressed in black robes, sneered.

Under the crushing pressure of cultivation level, even magical treasures could not play a significant role, and the Heavenly Divine Fire Pillar was directly shattered.

Wu Yunxian is one of the Seven Immortals who attend Tongtian. He has profound cultivation and is only one step away from becoming a Quasi-Saint. In a one-on-one fight, he is even stronger than Randeng, the Vice Leader of the Chan Sect.

Yun Zhongzi, despite his good fortune, has not made a breakthrough for many years and remains at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. How could he possibly be a match for Wuyun Xian?

The pillar of divine fire shattered instantly, and Lei Zhenzi, after letting out a shrill scream, turned into dust and scattered in the wind.

Then, a primordial spirit emerged from Lei Zhenzi's physical body, and it actually looked like a chaotic demon god.

Wu Yunxian was stunned for a moment. Sure enough, even those who took the place of the calamity were all extraordinary. They truly deserved to be disciples of the Chan Sect. What a despicable act of following the will of Heaven.

Once again, the spell broke through Yun Zhongzi's defenses, forcing Yun Zhongzi to watch helplessly as the person who was supposed to take his place died before even becoming his disciple.

Everything happened in an instant. After killing Lei Zhenzi, Wu Yunxian did not linger and turned to leave.
