In this primordial world, this Hongyun is too cowardly!

Chapter 71 The Taoist Taiqing visits, and Zhen Yuanzi cuts open his own corpse!

【Ding! 】

[Detection indicates that Daoist Taiqing is heading to Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, wishing to visit the host and Zhen Yuanzi. The host has the following options.]

[Choose option one: Refuse the visit of Daoist Taiqing, and you will be rewarded with a top-tier innate spiritual root, the Four Symbols Banana Tree!]

[Option Two: Defeat the Taiqing Daoist and be rewarded with a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Fire-attribute Banana Leaf Fan!]

[Option 3: Invite Taoist Taiqing to Wuzhuang Temple, and receive a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Wind-attribute Banana Leaf Fan, as a reward!]

Chen Ye, who was in seclusion refining fragments of the laws of space and time, suddenly heard a notification from the system and showed a puzzled expression.

What is this if not inexplicable?!

Why is this Taoist Taiqing not going to the human realm, but instead running off to Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain?!

Isn't this just a case of having too much time on their hands?!

Coming here won't help you achieve sainthood; it's really pointless to come here and disturb your seclusion.

However, despite having many thoughts in his mind, Chen Ye still pondered his choice.

Taiqing Daoist, besides Hongjun, is the first sage of the Daoist sect, and his strength is arguably the strongest among the six sages of the prehistoric world.

Taiqing's visit this time is probably not simple; it is highly likely that he is here to become a saint.

First of all, the idea of ​​killing Taiqing Daoist is obviously unrealistic, although Chen Ye could certainly do it with his current strength.

However, the final outcome will likely be that Heaven or Hongjun will have to intervene.

Therefore, Chen Ye completely ignored the option of killing.

The second was to refuse the visit of the Taoist Master Taiqing, and instead reward him with the Four Symbols Banana Tree.

These four banana trees are quite remarkable; they can be considered one of the world's finest forest roots.

This spiritual root has four banana leaves, each containing one of the four attributes of earth, water, wind, and fire. Each banana leaf is a powerful innate spiritual treasure, reaching the top level of innate superior grade.

Among them, the wind-attribute banana leaf was the innate spiritual treasure that Sun Wukong and his companions borrowed from Princess Iron Fan when they crossed the Flaming Mountain during the Journey to the West.

However, refusing a visit from a future sage would be impolite, and wouldn't it be a great thing to make Taiqing owe him a karmic debt before he even attains sagehood?

Therefore, after much thought, Chen Ye decided to invite the Taoist Taiqing into Wuzhuang Temple.

"System, I choose option three: invite Taoist Taiqing to Wuzhuang Temple."

Chen Ye quickly made his choice.

Swish!

The moment after making his choice, a primordial spiritual light appeared in the void. As the light dissipated, a banana leaf, entirely blue and radiating boundless Daoist charm, came into Chen Ye's view.

Within the banana leaf, Chen Ye also sensed the aura of the wind attribute law.

"Is this the banana leaf fan that Princess Iron Fan used during the Journey to the West?"

"It is said that with a single wave of this banana leaf fan, a powerhouse below the Great Luo Golden Immortal level can be sent flying back 108,000 miles. I wonder if it's true or not."

Looking at the banana leaf fan in front of him, which contained wind attributes, Chen Ye also revealed a strange expression.

If there is another calamity like the Flaming Mountain during the Journey to the West, I wonder what would be needed to wipe it away.

This time, the banana leaf fan was in his own hands.

Soon, Chen Ye realized that he had been thinking too far ahead; whether there would be another tribulation in the Journey to the West was another matter entirely.

"Zhao Gongming!"

Immediately, Chen Ye's voice resounded, and although it wasn't loud, it could be heard clearly throughout the entire Wuzhuang Temple area.

In an instant, Zhao Gongming, who had been in seclusion, also woke up. His figure flashed and he appeared in the backyard in front of Chen Ye.

"teacher!"

Looking at Chen Ye, Zhao Gongming bowed respectfully.

"Zhao Gongming, a top-tier Daoist from the Primordial World is about to visit Wuzhuang Temple. Go and wait for him outside Wuzhuang Temple."

"Bring this fellow Daoist in!"

Looking at Zhao Gongming, Chen Ye slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming's expression immediately turned serious, and he said, "Yes, Master, this disciple will go immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Gongming's figure disappeared directly from the Taoist temple.

Watching Zhao Gongming disappear, Chen Ye nodded slightly. "You see, this is the advantage of having a cheap apprentice. You don't have to do many things yourself; you can just hand them over to this cheap apprentice."

Outside Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhao Gongming looked serious at this moment, occasionally scanning the surrounding area to see if the person his teacher had asked him to wait for had arrived, not daring to relax in the slightest.

"To be called one of the top in the primordial world by the teachers, this senior must be incredibly powerful. We must not underestimate him."

At this moment, Zhao Gongming was also pondering to himself.

Swish!

Just as Zhao Gongming was pondering, with a whoosh, before he could react, the figure of an old man appeared directly in front of him.

Although he did not sense any terrifying pressure emanating from the old man, he was able to appear in front of Zhao Gongming with ease without being noticed.

Zhao Gongming could then realize that the old man's strength was beyond his imagination; he was probably the top being from the primordial world that his teacher had asked him to wait for.

"Zhao Gongming pays his respects to his senior; his teacher is waiting for him inside!"

Immediately, Zhao Gongming cupped his hands to Taiqing Daoist and said.

At this moment, not only was Zhao Gongming extremely shocked, but even the Taoist Taiqing was exceptionally shocked.

The moment he saw Zhao Gongming, he knew that although the young Taoist in front of him only had the strength of a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, he possessed the innate top-level divine and demonic foundation.

This foundation is comparable to that of Taiqing and others.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. May I ask who my master is?"

Taiqing Daoist didn't put on airs. After all, Zhao Gongming had the foundation of a top-tier innate god and demon, and might even become a saint in the future. So he directly cupped his hands and asked his question.

"My master is Daoist Hongyun."

Upon hearing Zhao Gongming's answer, Taiqing suddenly understood.

Also.

Perhaps only this being could accept someone with a top-tier innate divine and demonic foundation as a disciple.

Without much small talk, Zhao Gongming led Taiqing directly into the Wuzhuang Temple.

The moment Taiqing entered Wuzhuang Temple, he was also shocked by it. After all, such a sacred place of immortals was far superior to even Kunlun Mountain, where the Three Pure Ones resided.

The air in Wuzhuang Temple is filled with innate chaotic spiritual energy, which is a level higher than innate spiritual energy, something that countless living beings dream of.

Soon, under Zhao Gongming's guidance, Taiqing arrived at the backyard where Chen Ye was located, where a young Taoist priest with an inconspicuous aura was greeted.

"Taiqing greets Fellow Daoist Hongyun."

Looking at the Taoist in front of him, Taiqing instantly knew that this was the Red Cloud Taoist who had single-handedly defeated Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the other two.

"Haha! Greetings, Fellow Daoist Taiqing!"

"Fellow Daoist, please have a seat!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ye laughed heartily and gestured for Taiqing to sit down.

At this moment, Zhao Gongming stood respectfully to the side. After all, someone who could address his master as a fellow Daoist was definitely a top expert in this prehistoric world, at least a Quasi-Saint level expert.

With Zhao Gongming's strength, he was no match for such a powerful figure.

Master Taiqing didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.

Immediately, Chen Ye took out the fruit from the tree's innate top-grade spiritual root, and Zhao Gongming also received a portion.

Looking at the four kinds of top-tier innate spiritual roots in front of him—the Innate Peaches, Ginseng Fruits, Five-Needle Pines, and Yellow Plums—Zhao Gongming couldn't help but swallow hard.

Having been a disciple of Chen Ye for so many years, Zhao Gongming was extremely familiar with the entire Wuzhuang Temple, except for his senior uncle Zhen Yuanzi, who had never appeared since his birth.

Of all the Wuzhuang Temples, what Zhao Gongming coveted most were the four top-tier innate spiritual roots within the temple.

These are all among the top ten supreme spiritual roots! I never imagined that my master and Uncle-Master Zhen Yuanzi could actually collect four of them. This is simply unbelievable.

Ever since he became an apprentice, he had long wanted to taste the fruit of this top-grade innate spiritual root.

Unexpectedly, I'm actually benefiting from the influence of this senior Taiqing today.

Upon seeing these four fruits with top-tier innate spiritual roots, Taiqing's originally calm expression revealed a slight fluctuation. This was not something that ordinary fortune could possess.

From this perspective, one can understand just how extraordinary this Fellow Daoist Hongyun is.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun is indeed blessed with great fortune. Not only does he have such a disciple with extraordinary talent, but he also possesses so many kinds of top-tier innate spiritual roots. This old Daoist is truly envious."

Looking at Chen Ye, the Taoist Taiqing couldn't help but smile slowly and say.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"Fellow Daoist Taiqing, these kinds of items are nothing more than food to fill our stomachs, something to try once in a while."

"If we want to go further, these external things are useless to us."

Chen Ye shook his head slightly, but spoke directly.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Taiqing fell silent.

Indeed, this innate top-tier spiritual root is a rare and precious divine object in the primordial world.

However, for the powerful beings standing at the pinnacle of the primordial world, this is just a taste of the new world; to take it a step further is extremely difficult!

"Fellow Daoist, have you come here to attain enlightenment?!"

Looking at the silent Taiqing Daoist, Chen Ye asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Taiqing also came to his senses and did not refute. Instead, he looked at Chen Ye respectfully and said, "Fellow Daoist, your strength is extraordinary. You must also know the hardships faced by us primordial gods and demons."

"Junior Sister Nuwa has already attained sainthood with the help of the Primordial Purple Qi, but as the eldest disciple under my teacher, I have not shown any signs of attaining the Dao. Therefore, I have come to ask Fellow Daoist Hongyun and Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi for some guidance."

"However, it's a pity that Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi has been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years, so we'll never have the chance to meet him!"

Taiqing Daoist had heard from Nuwa that Zhen Yuanzi had already fully comprehended the Dao of Severing the Three Corpses. If he could gain some understanding of the complete picture of Severing the Three Corpses from him, it might be of great help to Taiqing himself in attaining sainthood.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, you have indeed been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years. Why don't we take turns? Perhaps we can gain something from it."

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Hongyun."

After exchanging words with the Taoist Master Taiqing for a while, Chen Ye immediately began his sermon.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongming, who was standing nearby, immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, his expression extremely serious.

For Zhao Gongming, a god-demon who had only been in human form for ten thousand years, the discussion between two top experts at the peak of the primordial world was an invaluable opportunity.

Every top expert has a different understanding of the Dao, but they have all reached a very deep level of understanding of their own Dao.

This was incredibly beneficial for Zhao Gongming, a sponge just starting out in his career!

The two have been discussing their respective doctrines for three thousand years.

Six thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over these six thousand years, the one who reaped the most benefits was not Chen Ye, nor Taiqing Daoren, but Zhao Gongming.

After all, his strength was weak, he had only recently taken human form, and his experience was naturally limited.

After their discussion, both of them were moved by each other's teachings.

Taiqing, in particular, was extremely shocked by Hongyun's method of attaining enlightenment in a dream.

This method is both unorthodox and righteous!

Rumble!

Just as the two were exchanging compliments, a powerful aura of law suddenly erupted from Wuzhuang Temple, and the powerful pressure swept across the entire temple.

Instantly, Chen Ye and Tai Qing looked towards the other side of the Dao Academy.

"It seems Fellow Daoist Taiqing is very lucky!"

"My old friend Zhen Yuanzi has actually emerged from seclusion at this time; it seems he has successfully severed his third corpse!"

Looking at the other side of the Taoist temple, Chen Ye also showed a hint of joy.

Zhen Yuanzi actually managed to sever his own corpse so quickly!

The third corpse has been severed!

Upon hearing this, Daoist Taiqing was utterly shocked and deeply moved.

Taiqing had wanted to sever this third corpse, the self-corpse, for a long time, but unfortunately he had no way to do so. He never expected that Zhen Yuanzi would actually sever the third corpse right under his nose!

Swish!Swish!Swish!

In the void, three figures slowly emerged, surrounded by three top-tier innate gourds, and powerful law power surged from their bodies.

The three not only looked alike, but their auras were also exactly the same!

"It really worked!"

"Sever all three corpses!"

Seeing this, Taiqing finally believed that Zhenyuanzi had truly severed his own corpse.

A moment later, the three figures slowly disappeared, and in their place was Zhen Yuanzi's true form.

"Congratulations, old friend. With the complete severing of your three corpses, attaining sainthood is within your grasp." Chen Ye cupped his hands in congratulations as he looked at Zhen Yuanzi's true form.

Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi!

Immediately afterwards, the Taoist Taiqing also offered his congratulations.

"Fellow Daoist Taiqing, it has been a long time since we last met."

Zhen Yuanzi's figure flashed and appeared in front of Chen Ye and the others. Then, Zhen Yuanzi looked at Taiqing Daoist and said, "Welcome, Fellow Daoist Taiqing, to my Wuzhuang Temple. It is truly an honor to have you here!"

"My old friend Zhen Yuanzi, forgive my intrusion, but I wonder how you severed your third corpse!"

Looking at Zhen Yuanzi, Taiqing couldn't wait to speak.

Sever the three corpses!

The good and evil corpses were easy to cut, but Taiqing could not cut the self corpse no matter what. Now that he saw Zhen Yuanzi cut it, he was naturally extremely excited.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Chen Ye, who nodded slightly in response.

"Fellow Daoist Taiqing, I won't hide it from you. This method of severing the three corpses requires three spiritual treasures of the same origin as a catalyst to sever the third corpse. Otherwise, it can be done by relying on merit to sever the three corpses."

"Besides these two, I'm afraid there's no other way!"

Looking at Taiqing Daoist, Zhen Yuanzi spoke directly.

Three spiritual treasures of the same origin!

Upon hearing this, Daoist Taiqing was stunned. After a long while, a bitter expression appeared on his face.

It's hopeless!

"Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist. I, Taiqing, have been presumptuous!"

Immediately, Daoist Taiqing cupped his hands and said to Chen Ye and Zhen Yuanzi, "Thank you both for your help this time. I will remember it."

After speaking, Master Taiqing bid farewell to the two of them.

Watching Taiqing Daoist's departing figure, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but sigh.

If it weren't for the guidance and help of my old friend Hongyun, I would probably be in the same situation as Taiqing Daoist right now.

Disappointed to the point of despair!
