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

A set of battle flags floated in front of the red cloud.

The banners radiated boundless divine light, their brilliance layered upon layer, their mysterious light dazzling, bringing auspiciousness to all beasts.

The twenty-seven array flags, connected by a shared energy, moved and evolved, their arrangement wondrous, displaying a myriad of strange phenomena.

Under the influence of the array flags, the spiritual energy around the red cloud was subtly boiling, and streams of spiritual energy were suspended above it.

Even though they were separated by space, Hongyun could still feel the vast and mysterious aura emanating from the array of flags, as well as the boundless divine light of the heavens.

"Let's call it the Three Talents Formation Flag!"

Hongyun gave the array flags a name. Three of these flags can form an array, nine can form a medium-sized array, and twenty-seven can form a large-scale array.

The large formation contains the medium formation, and the medium formation contains the small formation. With each formation linked to the next, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could withstand it.

Hongyun casually put away the Three Talents Array Flags, then took out the Four Symbols Furnace, preparing to refine a batch of pills.

For Hongyun at this moment, his weapon crafting was not weapon crafting, nor was his pill refining; rather, he was exploring the Dao.

Every time he forges a weapon or refines an elixir, he is verifying his Dao. In the end, whether he succeeds or fails, it is a rare experience.

Moreover, Hongyun prefers failure to success, as failure allows for better learning and lessons.

While verifying the Great Dao, Hongyun's speed was not slow. He used the Fiery Cloud Escape technique to chase stars and the moon, making the world seem within reach.

As he wandered aimlessly, Hongyun would occasionally land and explore some of the mountains.

When they encounter rare medicinal herbs, Hongyun will collect them and cultivate them. Among Hongyun and his companions, the Hundred Herbs Chart is considered an essential spiritual treasure, as they all have the heart of a gardener.

On this day, Hongyun arrived at a majestic mountain range and landed on the main peak to rest.

"Hooray!!"

Just as he landed on the mountain peak, a chilling howl reached his ears, and Hongyun flew over to investigate.

Soon, Hongyun saw a wild bull that was seventy or eighty thousand feet tall, with long hair on its body that resembled mountain peaks.

This beast is called the Eight Desolate Ox, which means a wild ox that can be found in all four seas and eight wastelands. It is a relatively common type of immortal creature.

The Eight Desolate Ox race has difficulty transforming into human form. Some Eight Desolate Oxen cultivate to the Taiyi level, but still retain their original form.

This is also the situation of all immortal species in the primordial world.

If we classify the myriad races of the primordial world according to "race," they can be divided into spirit races, immortal races, and alien races.

Spiritual seeds can take human form even when one is below the Golden Immortal level, while immortal seeds may not necessarily take human form even when cultivated to the Golden Immortal level or above.

The alien species are classified separately from the spirit species and immortal species because there is no clear hierarchy in their transformation, and because they are powerful individuals and have a small population.

The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races are all spirit species, and the future human race will also be a spirit species. The lower limit of a spirit species is low, and the upper limit is high.

The Eight Desolate Oxen before Hongyun, a ferocious beast almost extinct in the primordial world, all belong to the category of immortal species.

The lower limit of immortal seeds is high, but the upper limit is low. Those who cultivate from immortal seeds to Hunyuan Golden Immortals are almost non-existent in the current prehistoric world, and may have existed in even more ancient times.

The six-winged golden cicada, the Kui ox of the Tongtian Sect Master, the green ox of the Supreme Lord Laozi, and so on, belong to the exotic species of the primordial era.

The alien species has a high lower limit and a high upper limit. If it weren't for their small numbers, they would be the absolute overlords of the primordial world.

Hongyun looked at the Eight Desolate Ox in front of her.

At this moment, the Eight Desolate Ox, exuding a fierce aura, was polishing its fur on the rocks, making a rumbling sound as large pieces of rock were rubbed off.

Hongyun sensed the aura of this Eight Desolate Ox; it was at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, meaning it must have recently broken through.

Even this Eight Desolate Ox, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, couldn't transform into human form. Hongyun sighed at the hardships of this race. They had the limitations of being born as innate deities, but they didn't receive the treatment of innate deities. No wonder most Eight Desolate Oxen ended up at the bottom.

For most immortal beings, size is an important factor in judging their strength. Those who are 100 zhang or less are below the Golden Immortal level, those who are 1,000 zhang are at the Golden Immortal level, those who are 10,000 zhang are at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, and those who are 100,000 zhang are at the Daluo Golden Immortal level.

This physique is the threshold for reaching the corresponding level, but due to different racial talents, the physiques of immortals of the same level are also different, but the general threshold is the same.

Just as Hongyun was observing the Eight Desolate Ox, the Eight Desolate Ox suddenly looked around alertly.

Seeing this, Hongyun frowned slightly.

He concealed his aura very well; how could a Taiyi Golden Immortal's Eight Desolate Ox possibly detect him?

Just as Hongyun was thinking this, the Eight Desolate Ox suddenly launched an attack, its bristles flying like missiles, bombarding Hongyun.

After the burrs detached from the body, they shimmered with an eerie red light, and a dangerous aura emanated from them.

"Interesting. They actually refined the bristles on their bodies into something like a magical artifact, and then used it to create terrifying destructive power through self-destruction."

Hongyun's eyes lit up slightly.

As is well known, the power of a magical artifact's self-destruction is far more terrifying than its normal use, almost on a completely different level, and could even kill someone of a higher level in a sneak attack.

The bristles refined by the Eight Desolate Oxen are mostly of the level of magic weapons, but there are also some of the level of spiritual treasures.

Although those spirit treasure-level bristles are only low-grade acquired spirit treasures, they are still a threat to Taiyi Golden Immortals. If one is not careful, one may fall into their hands.

Of course, the Eight Desolate Ox's petty tricks were no match for Hongyun.

Suddenly, Hongyun appeared, pointed a finger, and the void froze, with the bristles stopping in mid-air.

Then, Hongyun flicked his hand, and all the burrs flew into the sky and exploded with a series of booming sounds.

A series of violent explosions rang out, and terrifying energy waves swept in, tearing the sky apart.

Seeing that Hongyun had defused his attack, Bahuangniu looked terrified and then turned and ran away.

On this unnamed mountain range, the Eight Desolate Ox of the Taiyi Golden Immortal should be the king of beasts here.

An ordinary mountain range gave birth to a Taiyi Golden Immortal level Eight Desolate Bull Beast King. This Eight Desolate Bull could even sense him, which aroused Hongyun's curiosity.

Hongyun felt that this mountain range was extraordinary.

Resources in ordinary mountains are limited, and it is not easy for even one Golden Immortal to be born. For a Taiyi Golden Immortal to be born is extraordinary.

Over the years, Hongyun has traveled to many famous mountains and rivers, and these experiences have become part of his knowledge.

Hongyun followed Bahuangniu at a leisurely pace, wanting to explore the secrets of this mountain range.

This wild ox is undoubtedly a traitor.

Boom boom boom...

Hongyun would occasionally make a move, creating a commotion and putting immense psychological pressure on Bahuangniu.

Under the immense pressure from the red clouds, the Eight Desolate Ox will instinctively choose a place that makes it feel safe.

Under the pressure of the red clouds, the Eight Desolate Ox charged left and right, head down, towards a certain direction of the mountain range.

"Hooray!!"

The Eight Wild Ox charged into a valley in the mountains, and its figure suddenly disappeared in front of the red clouds.

"An array? There's a powerful innate array here?"

Hongyun was taken aback at first, then a look of joy appeared on her face. She hadn't expected to have such an unexpected gain.

He had no connection with this place, or perhaps his connection was very shallow, so Hongyun didn't have that strange feeling.

But out of curiosity, this opportunity eventually fell into his hands, which surprised and delighted Hongyun.

Suddenly, Hongyun took a step and arrived directly in the valley, his primordial spirit sensing the anomaly in the void.

"There really is a primordial grand formation!"
