Primordial Era: I, Hongyun, take charge of the literary path

Hongyun took out the Cangwu Palace and placed it on the mountain.

Previously, Cangwu Palace was sealed off, and Hongyun did not notice anything unusual. Now that the restrictions have been lifted, Cangwu Palace has completely opened itself up to Hongyun.

Next, Hongyun used his divine sense to scan Cangwu Palace again and again, his goal being the inheritance of the Cangwu Ancestor.

Through his tireless efforts, Hongyun finally found an unusual place, hidden within the array on the dome of Cangwu Palace.

Hongyun sensed it once, and analyzed it again using the Wenyun Diagram, discovering that the key to unlocking the inheritance was missing.

"The key is missing? And where is the key?"

After thinking for a moment, a flash of inspiration struck Hongyun. He suddenly remembered the crystal that Ancestor Cangwu had dropped. Could the crystal be the key to unlocking the inheritance?

Hongyun took out the crystal and placed it on the dome that resembled a starry sky. Sure enough, the array on the dome reacted.

Thousands of star-shaped divine beads detached from the dome and rotated around the crystal, directly forming a cultivation method.

Hongyun murmured, "The Cangwu Scripture?!"

Judging from the name, it should be the cultivation method of the Cangwu Ancestor, which Hongyun recorded in the Wenyun Diagram.

The changes had not stopped. A moment later, the thousands of star-shaped divine beads resumed their operation, and divine techniques evolved one after another, while the crystals were gradually worn away.

Until the crystal was completely worn away, the Wenyun Diagram Record contained a total of 3927 cultivation methods, covering methods for cultivating the primordial spirit, methods for cultivating magical power, as well as mysterious arts such as supernatural powers, alchemy, weapon crafting, and formations.

After the crystal disappeared, thousands of Star God Beads returned to the dome, and the strange phenomenon also disappeared.

"This was a huge success."

Hongyun's face lit up with surprise. The cultivation method of Cangwu Scripture alone had already filled him with immense joy.

Because this cultivation method encompasses the cultivation insights and specific methods from Celestial Immortal to Primordial Golden Immortal, it played an unimaginable role in Hongyun's creation of the eighth chapter of the "Hongyun Dao Scripture," the Primordial Golden Immortal chapter.

Besides the Cangwu Sutra, there is another Dharma text that specifically records the formations left behind by the Cangwu Ancestor on Cangwu Mountain.

The Cangwu Mountains contain numerous array formations and restrictions set up by the Cangwu Ancestor, but because no one controls them, most of these formations and restrictions are dormant.

To activate the formation, you either need to actively attack it, causing it to trigger its response mechanism and then be passively activated, or someone else needs to reactivate the formation.

Hongyun found a way to control it.

After Hongyun's research, it was found that the great formation protecting the Cangwu Ancestor's Daoist temple was a Hunyuan Golden Immortal level formation.

However, due to the passage of time and changes in the environment, the power of the protective formation has inevitably declined.

Even so, the protective formation of this dojo is so strong that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would not be able to break through it in less than three to five years.

Besides the protective formation, there is also a teleportation array in the mountains, which was set up by Ancestor Cangwu when he was young, just to leave himself a way out.

However, Ancestor Cangwu never used it. He grew up smoothly to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal and never encountered a life-or-death crisis, so he naturally had no need for the teleportation array.

The teleportation array was built by Ancestor Cangwu for his own escape, and it has been upgraded many times since then. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal cannot detect the changes in it.

"There's always a way out!"

Hongyun was overjoyed. He immediately followed the inherited method and found the location of the teleportation array.

But Hongyun didn't rush to leave because he had another idea: to activate all the formations to trap the crane and buy him time to escape.

Without further ado, Hongyun began activating the protective array, which consisted of thirty-six arrays, including killing arrays, trapping arrays, illusion arrays, and bewildering arrays. Each array was personally set up by Ancestor Cangwu and possessed extraordinary power.

Hongyun activated these formations one by one, connecting and amplifying them. When the last formation was activated, the entire desolate mountain trembled, and a terrifying aura surged into the sky from the mountain.

Sensing the presence outside, the crane frowned slightly. "What's that kid up to?"

The crane stood up, and the Divine Light of Annihilation unfolded behind him, ready to strike at any moment.

On the other side, Hongyun exhaled a breath of turbid air, and all the protective formations were activated. The power of the formations was enough to trap a Grand Luo Golden Immortal for at least two or three years.

"Two or three years is enough time for me to travel far away."

Without delay, Hongyun immediately followed the guidance in the inheritance and found the teleportation array.

Standing on the teleportation array, Hongyun channeled his magic power, causing the surrounding space to distort and disappear instantly.

When the red cloud reappeared, he had arrived in an unfamiliar valley hundreds of millions of miles away.

The valley is not large, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and a stream flows through it, with crystal clear water.

Hongyun took a deep breath, and a surge of fresh air filled his lungs, invigorating him.

"Haha, we finally escaped."

Hongyun felt a pang of emotion, but he didn't linger. The crane might discover his escape at any moment, so he had to leave as soon as possible and find a safe place to hide.

Hongyun used the Earth Escape Technique to sink underground and continued to escape southeast (to Buzhou Mountain).

This time, Hongyun still did not fly, because flying would make him too conspicuous and easy to be discovered. Although earth escape is slower, it is better at concealment.

On the other side, the crane waited for a long time outside the desolate mountain, but Hongyun did not come out, and finally lost patience.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can hide."

The crane stood up with a cold face, and the annihilating divine light suddenly swept out, directly bombarding the barren mountain.

Boom, rumble—

The void surrounding the desolate mountain distorted, and array patterns appeared, activating the thirty-six protective arrays.

At the same time, the illusion array that had enveloped the barren mountain was dispelled, and a magnificent and beautiful mountain range appeared before the crane.

Under the protection of the great formation, the crane's destructive divine light did not cause any damage to Cangwu Mountain.

The crane frowned slightly. He hadn't expected these formations to be so sturdy, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

The Divine Light of Annihilation was unleashed once more, this time with its full power, causing a slight fluctuation in the protective array.

The crane muttered to itself, "Only at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm? It has actually declined to this extent."

Having tested the strength of the protective array, the crane ceased its attack and instead proclaimed loudly, "Bald Taoist, hand over the phoenix tree, and I will spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for burning your soul to ashes."

There was no response from within the formation. The crane, unaware that Hongyun had already escaped, thought that Hongyun was "refuting the polite offer and thus having to suffer the consequences," so it no longer showed any mercy.

Next, the cranes launched a frenzied attack on the formation.

Boom, boom, boom—

One year, two years, three years later, the Cangwu Mountains finally couldn't withstand it anymore and collapsed with a roar, sending rocks flying everywhere.

At the very moment the mountain collapsed, the crane's divine sense swept across the ruins, but it found no trace of Hongyun.

"Huh? That kid got away?!"

The crane's face turned extremely ugly.

He was a dignified Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet a Taiyi Golden Immortal escaped right under his nose. If word got out, where would he put his face?

Thinking of this, the crane was furious and unleashed its full divine sense, covering an area of ​​millions of miles, but it searched every inch of the land and still could not find Hongyun.
