Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

Chapter 39 The Innate Soul-Nourishing Gourd Above the East Sea!

Poor Hongyun, who attained enlightenment in the primordial Hongyun, was one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao, and a top power in ancient times.

Just because he gave up a seat, he ended up in a deadly predicament.

If Hongyun were alone, Zhao Gongming might not have come to her rescue.

Ke Hongyun's best friend is Zhen Yuanzi, a top-tier powerhouse among top-tier powerhouses.

Zhen Yuanzi will be extremely grateful for saving Hongyun.

When the Three Pure Ones have a falling out and split up in the future, his Shangqing lineage will have a solid ally.

As for that wisp of primordial purple energy, Zhao Gongming wasn't particularly interested.

What is the Primordial Purple Qi? To be precise, it should be called the Primordial Purple Qi of Heaven.

When talking about the Primordial Purple Qi, one must mention the method of attaining enlightenment.

In the primordial world, there were three methods to attain enlightenment.

These are respectively: proving the Dao through laws, proving the Dao by severing the three corpses, and proving the Dao through merit.

When the great god Pangu created the world, he proved the Dao with force, which was actually the Dao he proved with the law of force.

The second method of severing the three corpses to attain enlightenment was created by Hongjun.

After a cultivator reaches the Quasi-Saint level, they need to use three innate spiritual treasures of the same origin to sever their good corpse, evil corpse, and self-corpse, and finally merge the three corpses into one, thereby proving the Dao.

At first glance, this method of enlightenment seems to have no problems.

However, upon closer examination, two major traps can be discovered hidden within.

First, there are innate spiritual treasures. In the primordial world, innate spiritual treasures are not as common as cabbages, which are found everywhere.

Each innate spiritual treasure is the result of the creation of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and moon, and is nurtured for hundreds of millions of years before it can be obtained.

For example, Demon Master Kunpeng, a quasi-saint cultivator and one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao, possessed a powerful spiritual treasure that was only a Demon Master Palace of the acquired level.

Of course, after being refined by Kunpeng for countless millennia, the power of the Demon Master Palace is no less than that of an innate spiritual treasure.

But this is enough to indirectly show how precious innate spiritual treasures are!

Many cultivators simply cannot gather three innate spiritual treasures.

The second pitfall is the shared origin.

In the primordial world, innate spiritual treasures are already extremely rare, let alone innate spiritual treasures of the same origin.

In any case, even the most powerful Taiqing Laozi, the number one second-generation Xuanmen master, couldn't gather them all, let alone others.

In any case, as far as Zhao Gongming knew, only Hongjun had succeeded in attaining enlightenment by severing the three corpses.

The six sages of later generations all attained enlightenment through the third method: accumulating merit!

The third way is to attain enlightenment through merit. In order to attain enlightenment through merit, one needs to accumulate a large amount of merit.

One must also have the foundation of the Great Dao, that is, the Primordial Purple Qi, to attain enlightenment.

The Primordial Purple Qi, also known as the Primordial Purple Qi of the Heavenly Dao, is, in a sense, a product of the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao.

Using the Primordial Purple Qi to prove the Dao, on the surface it seems that the primordial spirit is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, touched by cause and effect but not tainted, enduring countless eons without being worn down, existing eternally with Heaven, and coexisting with the Dao.

In reality, every action of a sage is constrained by the Way of Heaven; they are not truly free and unfettered.

In any case, Zhao Gongming never intended to use the Primordial Purple Qi to become a saint from the very beginning.

Therefore, this Primordial Purple Qi held no allure for Zhao Gongming.

"I choose option two!"

Zhao Gongming quickly made his choice. As soon as he finished speaking, a round, golden gourd appeared in the system space!

The gourd is decorated with golden patterns on its top and bottom, and its whole body exudes a warm and comfortable feeling like sunshine.

This is the Innate Soul-Nourishing Gourd, ranked among the top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Its greatest function is to nourish the soul, even after suffering severe injuries.

As long as the soul is placed into the Soul Nourishing Gourd, it can be slowly repaired and eventually restored to its original state.

"Let's go, follow me to a place."

Zhao Gongming smiled at Liu Er.

"May I ask, teacher, what place is this?"

Liu Er looked like a curious child.

You'll see when you get there.

"Oh, oh."

With a thought, Zhao Gongming, along with Little Black Tiger and Six Ears, transformed into a streak of light and fled into the distance.

In a certain place in the primordial wilderness, red clouds were wandering aimlessly, breathing in the fresh air.

He sighed, a look of delight on his face, "The outside world is so wonderful!"

Ever since Hongyun preached at Zixiao Palace and incurred the wrath of Kunpeng, Kunpeng has been coming to cause trouble for Hongyun every now and then.

Kunpeng was a mid-stage Quasi-Saint cultivator, while Hongyun was only at the early stage of Quasi-Saint. Every time, Kunpeng made them look very embarrassed.

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi directly invited Hongyun to come to Wanshou Mountain and stay at Wuzhuang Temple for an extended period.

He also made a threatening statement, saying that anyone who dared to cause trouble for Hongyun again should not blame Zhen Yuanzi for being impolite.

Hongyun stayed there for tens of thousands of years. During those tens of thousands of years, Kunpeng seemed to have disappeared and never came to bother Hongyun again.

After staying there for a while, Hongyun felt extremely bored.

Some time ago, he finally spoke properly with Zhen Yuanzi and left Wanshou Mountain and Wuzhuang Temple to travel through the prehistoric world.

At this moment, Hongyun was traveling across the primordial land, breathing in the fresh air, and felt incredibly happy.

In a secluded space unnoticed by anyone, the Medicine Demon Master Kunpeng smirked, revealing a sinister grin.

"Old man Hongyun, you've finally shown yourself! This day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"

As Kunpeng's voice faded, ripples suddenly spread across the space around him.

Then, a tall man, dressed in a golden crow imperial robe, with a majestic and imposing face, walked out from inside.

Kunpeng's expression instantly turned solemn. "Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor."

That's right, the man in front of us is one of the two demon emperors of the Heavenly Court, Donghuang Taiyi!

"Stay close to Hongyun and don't let him get away. I will protect you from the sidelines."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Kunpeng quickly responded, its wings fluttering slightly as it chased after Hongyun.

After Kunpeng departed, Donghuang Taiyi's lips curled into a domineering and confident smile. "The Primordial Purple Qi will be mine sooner or later!"

With a thought, the solid void quietly turned into dust and then disappeared.

On the cloudless, azure East China Sea, Hongyun lay leisurely on his companion spirit treasure, the Nine-Nine Red Cloud Soul-Scattering Gourd, munching on a ginseng fruit.

The ginseng fruit, like an unborn baby, was pink in color.

It emits a unique aroma; take a bite, and juices burst forth, a refreshing fragrance spreading through the air.

In just a few bites, a ginseng fruit was gone.

Hongyun smacked her lips, still somewhat dissatisfied, so she waved her hand, and another ginseng fruit appeared in her palm.

After eating three ginseng fruits, a satisfied smile finally appeared on Hongyun's face.

"I must say, the ginseng fruit my brother grows tastes really good. It's a pity I only have about a hundred left, so I have to eat them sparingly."

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Hongyun closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.

Halfway through her sleep, Hongyun suddenly opened her eyes, a look of vigilance on her face.

"Who's there? Who's lurking around like that? Show yourself right now!"

On the shores of the East China Sea, in the boundless void, ripples slowly spread across the sky.

Kunpeng, with his hands behind his back, slowly walked out of the space.

He gave Hongyun a strange smile, his face revealing an extremely cold expression. "Old man Hongyun, it's been a long time."
