Primordial Era: Reborn as Taiyi, I Don't Need Brothers

Chapter 13 The Innate Gourd, Taiyi's Decision, Hongyun Takes It First

Fuxi felt a strong sense of frustration.

I originally thought that I was barely managing to keep the formation running by using various micro-managements and skillful maneuvers.

But then he suddenly realized that the formation could still function without him!

"How frustrating!"

At this moment, Taiyi ignored Fuxi, who was caught in self-doubt, and walked out first, having already kept Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun waiting long enough.

When Fuxi came to his senses, there was no one else there, so he could only quickly use his magic power to chase after them.

Zhou Mountain halfway up!

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun sensed from afar that four powerful auras were approaching them from the mountaintop.

The two exchanged a glance, knowing the other had arrived!

Each of these four auras was no weaker than the two of them! Especially the one in the middle, which was like an unfathomable abyss.

The four auras moved at extremely high speed!

In just a few breaths, they arrived not far from the two of them!

"Haha, I am truly flattered that you two have come. With your protection, I have nothing to worry about!" Before they arrived, their voices preceded their arrival! Taiyi greeted the two with a big laugh.

"We are truly flattered and honored to receive such praise from you, senior!" Hongyun stepped forward and said to Taiyi. As for Zhen Yuanzi, he stood there somewhat socially awkwardly, simply smiling and nodding.

Taiyi then introduced Fuxi, Nuwa, and Houtu behind him, and Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi also introduced themselves.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group officially became acquainted.

Along the way, Hongyun kept speaking up for Zhen Yuanzi, while Zhen Yuanzi himself didn't like to talk and only occasionally uttered a word or two.

Hongyun is like Zhen Yuanzi's mouthpiece! Perhaps that's why their relationship has always been so good.

After everyone finished exchanging pleasantries!

Taiyi waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down!

The five people focused their attention on Taiyi, awaiting his instructions.

"Fellow Daoists, it is fate that we have gathered at Zhou Mountain today. Today I sensed that a spiritual being is about to be born, and it is destined to be with you all! Please come with me, as a small token of my appreciation!" Taiyi said with a smile to everyone.

"Brother Taiyi, if the treasure is destined, why didn't we sense it?" Fuxi asked Taiyi with some doubt.

But then she jumped up with a "Ah!"

"Why did you step on my foot!" Fuxi glared angrily at Nuwa!

"If you don't want it, go back to the mountaintop and guard the formation. If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!" Nuwa said to Fuxi through gritted teeth.

Fuxi looked at his sister with a helpless expression, feeling that she was a complete stranger!

The remaining people, seeing the siblings playing around like this, also showed knowing smiles!

"Follow me, everyone!" Taiyi waved his hand and led everyone toward the place of perception.

At this time, the great calamity was in full swing, the secrets of heaven were in complete chaos, and the spiritual essence of living beings was greatly diminished, so they naturally could not sense the spiritual treasures that were destined for them!

But Taiyi is different; he doesn't need to sense anything because he already knows where the spiritual treasures are!

Zhou Shan Da! He can suppress countless worlds!

Taiyi led everyone, training their senses as they walked on Mount Zhou for several days!

Finally, we arrived at a smooth mountain wall!

They've come right up to it!

Hongyun suddenly exclaimed "Eh!"

"I sense it! Something here is calling to me!"

Hongyun's words drew Taiyi's attention!

There are so many people here, all of them possessing great supernatural powers, yet Hongyun was the first to sense a connection! Clearly, Hongyun truly has a special connection!

In fact, Hongyun's background is extremely special!

The first fiery cloud of the primordial world! It is a fusion of the primordial wind, water, and fire spirits! Wind and water each account for 30%, and fire accounts for 40%! It possesses almost all the fortune of the four primordial spirits, and its fortune is extremely abundant!

Unfortunately, Hongyun was born in the wrong era! He became a victim of exploitation!

If one were born in an earlier era, one might have become a great being and had the opportunity to attain enlightenment. If one were born in a later era, one could join any sect and become the most favored disciple of a sage, with the opportunity to achieve enlightenment.

He was born in this era, and as a guest in the Zixiao Palace, he was nothing more than a leek for Hongjun to harvest. Only by gathering the fortune of three thousand Great Luo could he represent the Primordial World and be in harmony with the Heavenly Dao!

"It's right here. Since Fellow Daoist Hongyun can sense this, please open the great formation for us!" Taiyi said, pointing to the mountain wall in front of him.

Hongyun didn't hesitate! She strode forward!

Upon reaching the mountain wall, I tentatively reached out to touch it! But the mountain wall seemed illusory, and the red clouds were not hindered at all.

The moment Hongyun entered, a passage officially opened!

The contents inside have also been revealed!

The Primordial Gourd!

Within the Zhou Mountains, a primordial spiritual root was nurtured: the Primordial Gourd!

On a single gourd vine, seven innate top-grade gourds grew, unparalleled in the world and rare in the primordial era!

In the original story, after Hongjun's discourse, the great gods left Zixiao Palace and entered the primordial world from the top of Zhou Mountain, sensing the emergence of a treasure! Subsequently, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Hongyun, Fuxi, Zhenyuanzi, Dijun, and Taiyi competed for it. Finally, after friendly negotiations and compromises among all parties, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Dijun, and Hongyun each obtained a gourd!

After Fuxi and the others arrived at Zhou Mountain, Taiyi was able to breathe a sigh of relief and began searching for the gourd vine!

Finally, when Hongyun arrived, he sensed the presence of the gourd vine. That's why he brought everyone here!

At this moment, seven gourds of various colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and black—were growing on the gourd vine! All the other gourds were ripe, except for the smallest black gourd, which was not yet ripe.

At this moment, everyone's attention returned to Taiyi, waiting for him to distribute the gourds!

Actually, this is a test!

The distribution of benefits is when you can best see changes in people's hearts, and it is also when conflicts are most likely to arise.

You should know that at this time, everyone was penniless except for Zhen Yuanzi. Who wouldn't want a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?

"This formation was opened by Hongyun, so let Fellow Daoist Hongyun choose the first treasure, shall we?" Taiyi said to everyone.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Hongyun wanted to refuse, but Taiyi stopped him, so he decisively stepped forward and took the first red gourd!

"Next, each of you fellow Daoists may take one gourd, shall we?" Taiyi asked, looking at Fuxi, Nuwa, Houtu, and Zhenyuanzi.

The group nodded in agreement. One for each person wasn't excessive!

Only Houtu frowned and said, "I am an Ancestral Witch, without a primordial spirit. This object is useless to me, so let's not take it!"

"A primordial spiritual object cannot be useless. Fellow Daoist, you are born with great opportunities, and you may even be able to give birth to a primordial spirit in the future. This gourd will surely be useful!" Taiyi waved his hand to stop Houtu's refusal. One cannot withhold something just because it is useless; giving what is due is the way of those in power.

Upon hearing Taiyi's words, Houtu did not refuse, and so the four of them each took a gourd.

Finally, everyone's gaze turned to Taiyi, because it was Taiyi's turn to retrieve the spiritual treasure.
