Transmigrating to a chat group: After heeding advice, I became the ruler of the primordial world.

Chapter 292 The Sages of Heaven Join Forces to Create the Heavenly Origin! Lu Yun Announces the True Rewards of the Competition!

Hongjun watched in disbelief as Xiao Ling'er successfully refined the pill within the Yuanling Immortal Net, his heart filled with astonishment.

In Hongjun's view, it was fine to be able to fight and cast spells within the Yuanling Immortal Network, and he could also accept the ability to use formations.

But he found it hard to believe that it could also be used for alchemy!

He himself was also skilled in alchemy, and naturally knew that the art of alchemy was profound and complex, with countless variations in pharmacology and the control of heat. He wouldn't be surprised at all if Xiao Ling'er, this "extraterrestrial demon," was able to refine pills in the primordial world.

However, within this Yuanling Immortal Network, everything is an illusion, so why can such a complex alchemy process still be carried out?

He pondered it repeatedly, but still couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

This Yuanling Immortal Network seems to possess an unimaginable power, capable of simulating every detail of the real world, even including the mysterious and ever-changing art of alchemy.

Hongjun felt increasingly uneasy, realizing that the secrets behind the Yuanling Immortal Network might be far beyond his imagination.

He didn't even dare to stay there any longer, afraid that he would get lost in this illusory world, and even more worried that Lu Yun would notice his inner shock and unease.

So he hastily ended his exploration of the Yuanling Immortal Network, withdrew his consciousness from this spiritual world, and returned to the Zixiao Palace.

Upon returning to Zixiao Palace, Hongjun immediately awakened the saints of the Heavenly Dao camp, including Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian.

As a result, Laozi and the others disappeared from the Yuanling Immortal Network.

Lu Yun and the others, who had been observing them, naturally noticed their departure immediately.

Lu Yun couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that Hongjun has realized some of the true mysteries of the Yuanling Immortal Network."

Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Nuwa asked, "Will this bring any negative consequences?"

Lu Yun, however, did not seem to care and said, "No."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Houtu couldn't help but ask, "What exactly did Hongjun discover that made him so distraught?"

Lu Yun laughed and said, "If I tell you directly, wouldn't it take away some of the fun? Why don't you observe for yourselves?"

Everyone agreed wholeheartedly, and then they all curiously looked at the Yuanling Immortal Network again.

……

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace.

A group of saints from the Heavenly Dao faction are sharing their discoveries within the Primordial Spirit Immortal Network.

However, none of their individual discoveries were enough to cause Hongjun to lose his composure like this, so they were also very curious about what Hongjun had just discovered.

"Everyone, did you ever imagine that such a complex matter as alchemy could be carried out within the Yuanling Immortal Net?" Hongjun's voice carried an undisguised solemnity and shock.

Upon hearing this, Laozi and the others all showed expressions of astonishment. Although they had also entered the Yuanling Immortal Network, their focus had differed, and none of them had explored it as deeply as Hongjun. Now, hearing Hongjun's description, they realized that the wonders of the Yuanling Immortal Network far exceeded their imagination.

"This... how is this possible?" Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but exclaim in shock. He couldn't believe that such a complex operation could be carried out in such a virtual world.

The Tongtian Sect Leader frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "It seems our understanding of this Yuanling Immortal Network is far from sufficient. What is the deeper meaning behind Lu Yun's actions?"

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with solemnity and vigilance. They knew that Lu Yun's creation of such a miraculous Yuanling Immortal Net must be the result of a profound plan and calculation.

"Dao Ancestor, we must find out the truth about this Yuanling Immortal Net as soon as possible, otherwise it may have an immeasurable impact on the Heavenly Dao," Zhunti said in a deep voice, his tone carrying an undeniable determination.

Hongjun was somewhat helpless. He was naturally aware of this and wanted to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

But that's easier said than done.

Take Lu Yun's various schemes in the past, for example. He has never been able to see through their secrets, otherwise Lu Yun would not have been able to develop to this point.

Therefore, Hongjun felt that he should not be too ambitious and quickly calmed down.

He said, "Let's not worry about Lu Yun's plans for now. Let's discuss how Lu Yun implemented this Yuanling Immortal Network, especially the simulation of such a realistic battle, and even the alchemy and other skills."

As soon as Hongjun finished speaking, the atmosphere in Zixiao Palace became heavy and tense, and all the Heavenly Saints fell into deep thought.

Lao Tzu was the first to express his opinion: "According to Lu Yun, the Yuanling Immortal Network is a spiritual world, but this spiritual world should have a place to house it!"

Yuanshi nodded in agreement and said, "This humble Taoist agrees with your opinion, elder brother!"

Tongtian frowned and asked, "Then what exactly is this place? Could it be some kind of spiritual treasure?"

Zhunti's heart skipped a beat, and he guessed, "Could it be the Kunlun Seal, the supreme treasure of humanity, that he possesses?"

Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to ponder, and they all felt that Zhunti's guess was very likely!

Hongjun shook his head slightly and said, "Although the Kongtong Seal is a supreme treasure of the human realm, as far as I know, it does not possess such complex functions. The Yuanling Immortal Net can simulate such a realistic world, so there must be an even more powerful force supporting it."

Lao Tzu pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Perhaps, this is not something that a single spiritual treasure can achieve, but rather that Lu Yun has used the power of the human way, the earth way, and even the heaven way to jointly construct this spiritual world."

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.

They couldn't help but start to ponder, feeling that if the power of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man were used together to create a virtual space, it might indeed be possible to achieve the effect of the Primordial Spirit Immortal Network.

However, Kunpeng retorted, "We are all members of the Heavenly Dao camp, how could we not know when Lu Yun mastered the power of the Heavenly Dao?"

Laozi did not reply, but only looked at Hongjun.

Hongjun pondered for a moment before speaking, "I can confirm that Lu Yun currently has no connection with the Heavenly Dao."

Lao Tzu frowned and fell into deep thought again.

Suddenly, Yuan Shi had a thought and said, "Could it be that the Heavenly Dao power he used wasn't the Primordial Heavenly Dao at all?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was once again taken aback.

Even Styx couldn't help but ask, "You mean he mobilized the power of the Heavenly Dao from a world unknown to us, combining it with the power of the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao of the Primordial World to create the Primordial Spirit Immortal Net?"

Tongtian gasped, "This... is very likely!"

Zhunti's face darkened as he said, "So, his world is the vessel for the Primordial Spirit Immortal Network?!"

Jieyin then raised the question again: "So what was his purpose in doing this?"

Silence fell over everyone once again.

Hongjun listened to the discussions of the crowd, his expression changing repeatedly.

After a moment of silence, Hongjun gazed intently at the assembled sages and slowly spoke: "Purpose is often hidden behind actions. Lu Yun's actions, seemingly merely to hold a genius competition, are in fact a silent demonstration of the power and potential of his world, and a declaration to us that his understanding and application of the Great Dao may have already exceeded our imagination."

"More importantly," Hongjun emphasized, "he used the Yuanling Immortal Network to merge the human way, the earth way, and that unknown power of the heavenly way, constructing such a real and powerful spiritual world, luring all living beings in the primordial world into it. And he is the sole master of the Yuanling Immortal Network. Over time, won't all living beings in the primordial world gradually come to believe that he is the master of the world?"

The saints' expressions changed, and they were secretly alarmed.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable frowned and said in a deep voice, "If what the Dao Ancestor said is true, then how should we deal with it? Are we just going to watch it grow stronger step by step, eventually threatening the status of the Heavenly Dao?"

Hongjun took a deep breath and said, "I am already searching with all my might for the whereabouts of his world. Once we find his lair, we can naturally find a way to deal with it. But until we find it, I think it would be better if we joined forces to create another similar spiritual world to reflect the entire primordial world!"

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he agreed, saying, "Dao Ancestor's plan is brilliant! If we can create a spiritual world that can rival the Yuanling Immortal Network, we can not only attract the attention of all living beings in the prehistoric world, but also take this opportunity to demonstrate the power and wisdom of our Heavenly Dao camp and weaken Lu Yun's influence."

Styx looked troubled and said, "But Lu Yun has the power of the Primordial Human Path and the Earth Path that he can draw upon. In addition, he has the backing of an unfamiliar world, which allows him to draw upon the power of the Heavenly Path there. We, on the other hand, only have the power of the Primordial Heavenly Path available to us. How can we achieve the same effect as him?"

Everyone fell into deep thought again, unable to come up with a solution for the time being.

Hongjun suddenly asked, "How are your respective Daoist temples developing now?"

None of the saints knew why he had suddenly asked about this, but they all answered truthfully. Generally speaking, the temples that each of them had established were developing quite well.

Hongjun's gaze was profound, as if he could see through the doubts in the hearts of the sages, and he slowly said, "Gentlemen, perhaps we can consider a different approach. Since Lu Yun was able to construct the Primordial Spirit Immortal Network with the help of various forces, why can't we gather the power of the Heavenly Dao camp to create a vast world that we can completely control?"

Upon hearing this, Laozi's eyes flashed with understanding, and he slowly said, "Does the Dao Ancestor mean to use our respective Daoist temples as the foundation to merge them into a larger new world?"

Hongjun nodded slightly and said, "That's exactly right."

Everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Each of their dojos, through their own efforts, had evolved to the point that, although far from the vastness of the primordial world, each contained its own unique laws and power.

If they could be merged, they could indeed become a vast and impressive world, not only enhancing the overall strength of each world but also potentially giving rise to entirely new rules governing the universe, including the power of humanity and the power of the earth.

At that time, they will also have the power of the three rules of Heaven, Earth, and Man to use.

Unlike Lu Yun's side, they primarily used the power of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, supplemented by the power of the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao born from the merged new world!

Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment, then said, "This method is indeed wonderful, but merging Daoist entities is no easy task. How will the conflicts of laws and the balance of power involved be resolved?"

Hongjun smiled slightly: "Your five dojos will continue to operate independently, just like the five parts of the Great World. There will be no conflict between your laws and powers."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader's eyes flashed with excitement. He said, "If we succeed, we will not only be able to create a spiritual world that can rival the Yuanling Immortal Network, but we will also be able to use this opportunity to elevate the power of the Heavenly Dao faction to unprecedented heights!"

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance and expressed their agreement.

They felt that this was likely a crucial step for the Heavenly Dao faction in confronting Lu Yun, and even other threats they might face in the future.

Although Styx still had doubts, he was moved by the determination of the crowd and said, "In that case, I, Styx, am also willing to contribute. However, this will require a long time and endless energy, and we are afraid we will have no time to attend to the Primordial Genius Competition!"

Hongjun said, "Each of you should send one of your corpses to keep an eye on things! After all, you've already sent your disciples to participate in the competition, so they should be able to play a useful role."

Upon hearing this, all the saints nodded in agreement.

Immediately, Hongjun said, "The new world will be centered around Zixiao Palace and named Tianyuan. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, all the sages felt that the name "Tianyuan" was quite fitting, as it not only reflected the Zixiao Palace as the center but also contained the profound meaning of the supreme authority of the Heavenly Dao. They all nodded in agreement with Hongjun's proposal.

They began to delve into the details of building the new world, meticulously planning every aspect from the formulation of laws, the balance of power, cultural integration to the guidance of faith.

As the discussion deepened, the atmosphere inside the Purple Cloud Palace gradually became more lively. The sages expressed their opinions and offered suggestions for the birth of a new great world.

While Hongjun was discussing with everyone, he secretly contacted his own corpse, asking it to find Yang Mei as soon as possible and see if she could find Lu Yun's world.

Meanwhile, on the vast and desolate land, the first stage of the Primordial Genius Competition has been successfully completed.

"Congratulations everyone on successfully making it through the first stage! However, the second stage will be much more challenging!"

Within the Yuanling Immortal Network, Lu Yun looked at the contestants breaking through from all sides and found that everyone who had crossed the chat group had broken through, which did not surprise him at all.

The fact that these people were able to survive under such difficult conditions in the world they traveled to speaks volumes about their abilities.

Looking at the many disciples sent by the Heavenly Dao camp, although many were eliminated, Duobao, Guangchengzi, Xuandu and others successfully broke through and were among the 30,000 people.

They were all very low-key, as if they were afraid that Lu Yun would dislike them and eliminate them directly.

However, Lu Yun had no such thoughts at all. Instead, a smile appeared on his lips: "Now, it's time to give them a little push!"

Then, Lu Yun spoke loudly, saying, "Before the second stage begins, I would like to announce the true reward for the champion of this year's Primordial Genius Competition!"
