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

"Literary talent is supernatural; it's all just empty talk!"

The Wen Yun Diagram emitted boundless golden light, and the righteous energy of heaven and earth surged forth. Then, a phantom of a golden-armored general, ten thousand feet tall, appeared behind Hong Yun.

The golden-armored general brandished his divine axe, which struck the void. Instantly, the void shattered, revealing a massive crack, and the array of Zhaocai Mountain was torn apart by him.

Upon seeing this, Hongyun rushed in and appeared in the great formation in the blink of an eye.

Hongyun entered the formation, but instead of rushing through it, he carefully studied it from the spot.

Hongyun used the Wenyun Diagram to comprehend the formation of Zhaocai Mountain and recorded his insights on the Wenyun Diagram.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of years have passed.

Hongyun took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and her eyes flashed with a dazzling golden light that made people afraid to look directly at her.

In Hongyun's vision, countless fine lines appeared in the void surrounding Zhaocai Mountain.

Many of the fine lines are mostly black, like a large net, enveloping the area around Zhaocai Mountain.

Among these fine lines, one is golden and extends deep into the mountains of Zhaocai Mountain.

Red clouds followed the golden thread into Zhaocai Mountain.

With the aid of the Wen Yun Diagram, Hong Yun also thoroughly studied the great formation outside Zhao Cai Mountain.

This is a Primordial Geng Metal Grand Formation, a comprehensive formation encompassing maze formations, trap formations, and killing formations.

Soon, Hongyun passed through the great formation and saw the immortal mountain lying on the earth.

On Zhaocai Mountain, ethereal music wafts through the air, and spiritual herbs and roots abound, making it a truly blessed and celestial paradise.

To be honest, Hongyun felt a strong sensation after entering Zhaocai Mountain.

Zhaocai Mountain definitely has a great connection with him.

Hongyun entered Zhaocai Mountain and, following a premonition, arrived at the main peak of Zhaocai Mountain.

On the main peak of Zhaocai Mountain grows a tree, but the fruit on the tree is different from that of ordinary fruit trees; it looks like the gold ingots of later generations.

Hongyun's primordial spirit sensed the Heavenly Dao and learned the name of the Money Tree. "Haha, it's actually the Money Tree!"

This money tree is a top-grade innate spiritual root, its grade is no less than that of the phoenix tree, and second only to the top-grade of the highest grade.

The fruit of this money tree is extraordinary; it takes three thousand years for it to flower, three thousand years to bear fruit, and another three thousand years to mature.

At one time, it can produce 81 bunches of money-making grapes, which are round on the outside and square on the inside. They look like ingots and each bunch contains about 30 money-making grapes.

The Money Fruit tastes good too; the flesh is golden, juicy and smooth. Eating one will grant you a thousand years of magical power, and eating a bunch will grant you thirty thousand years of magical power.

Besides being consumed, the Money Fruit can also be used to refine magical artifacts, such as one-time-use magic weapons, which have the effect of bringing wealth and good fortune.

Besides the money fruit, the leaves of the money tree are also of exceptional quality, believed to attract wealth.

The leaves of the money tree are round on the outside and square on the inside, resembling copper coins from a past life, with the characters "Yaoqian Tongbao" (meaning "money coin") on them.

Hongyun casually plucked a leaf and discovered that it didn't look like a leaf at all, but rather like real metal.

Just then, Shuiyun sensed something.

A hint of surprise appeared on Hongyun's face. She took out the Boundless Cloud Handkerchief, and Shuiyun emerged from it.

Shuiyun is a graceful woman dressed in a light blue dress, with a curvaceous figure. In that era in the back mountain, she was definitely a stunning beauty.

Because she hadn't taken human form, Shuiyun's figure was somewhat ethereal, adding to her delicate appearance.

"Shuiyun greets this esteemed one!"

Hongyun nodded and asked, "Fellow Daoist Shuiyun, you just said that this money tree is a stroke of good fortune for you?"

Shuiyun nodded and lowered her eyes, saying softly, "That's right. The moment I saw the money tree, I sensed that it could enhance my accumulation of essence."

Upon hearing this, Hongyun raised an eyebrow. He thought of a saying: "Wind controls population, water controls wealth."

Perhaps it is Shuiyun who is destined to be with the money tree, not him; they are simply one entity.

"Since this money tree is useful to you, you can keep it!" Hongyun gave the money tree to Shuiyun.

They were one entity; it didn't matter to Hongyun who controlled the money tree.

"Thank you for your support!"

Shuiyun nodded and stepped forward, walking directly into the money tree without any resistance.

In Hongyun's perception, the energy of the water cloud and the money tree are connected, the dragon and tiger are in harmony, and yin and yang are in balance. This change is beneficial to both.

Seeing the changes in Shuiyun, Hongyun shook her head and collected the first batch of money fruits from the money tree.

It would take a long time for Shuiyun and the Money Tree to harmonize the dragon and tiger. Hongyun thought for a moment, then sat cross-legged under the Money Tree, eating Money Fruit while beginning his cultivation.

The fruit was quickly digested, and a rich spiritual energy flowed into Hongyun's body, which he refined into magical power.

At the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, focusing on magical power further would be considered inferior; the Great Dao of Laws is superior, but the deeper one's understanding of the laws, the more difficult it becomes.

Hongyun didn't know how others maintained a steady rise in the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but he used the Literary Fortune Chart to evolve countless small worlds within it, allowing his numerous thoughts to be reborn in those small worlds.

Red Cloud, Water Cloud, Fire Cloud, Wind Cloud, and Blood Cloud—these five individuals recorded their insights into cultivation in the Literary Fortune Record, thus creating the most advanced world.

Each small world is born and destroyed, and each time it brings Hongyun some understanding of the laws.

Through countless lifetimes of reincarnation in the mortal world, through countless trials of the seven emotions and six desires, the mortal world has passed through women, men, the elderly, children, farmers, nobles, peddlers and laborers...

In the vast wilderness, years are forgotten; in the blink of an eye, the ocean has become a vast expanse.

After an unknown amount of time, the money tree behind Hongyun suddenly emitted a terrifying aura.

Hongyun was startled awake from her cultivation and turned to look at the high-grade innate spiritual root money tree—no, it was Shuiyun.

Shuiyun emerged from the money tree, but her aura was different from before. She had broken through, shattered the shackles of her origin, and broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm before taking human form.

Shuiyun: "Your Excellency, I have not failed in my mission!"

Hongyun: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Shuiyun."

Shuiyun smiled and nodded, her eyes shining brightly, as if the sun and moon were shining together, the Milky Way were turning upside down, and all things were being born and dying.

"Phew, it's time for me to transform into human form too."

Shuiyun looked up at the sky, and a rumbling sound appeared, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged forth instantly.

At the summit of the heavens, the winds and clouds swirled, and spiritual energy gathered into a storm, involuntarily converging upon them.

The next moment, celestial music began to play.

This sound is mysterious and profound, a melodious and ethereal sound, carrying a noble and majestic quality, and is truly beautiful.

A surge of spiritual energy, a myriad of rosy clouds, auspicious clouds, and golden flowers blooming everywhere—it was as if heaven and earth were celebrating for him.

Boundless spiritual energy poured into Shuiyun's body, and rays of divine light descended from the sky. Hongyun felt as if she were bathed in a spring breeze, and waves of comfort emanated from her body.

The spiritual energy converged even more frantically.

At this moment, a ball of nine-colored light descended, transforming Shuiyun's body; this phenomenon lasted for over a thousand years.

As the light faded, a woman with flowing hair, covering her private parts, appeared. She was elegant and graceful, with sparkling eyes, but these eyes quickly disappeared.

Hongyun turned her head away, as if to say, "Do not look at what is improper."

An overwhelming pressure rose from Shuiyun's body; her cultivation had reached the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"In this vast world, I am but water and clouds!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shuiyun noticed that she was completely naked. With a wave of her hand, a blue Taoist robe appeared.
