I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

When Zhen Yuanzi saw the remnant soul of Hongyun, his eyes reddened.

Seeing this object reminds me of someone!

This wasn't the first time Zhen Yuanzi had seen the phantom of his sworn brother Hongyun.

This time, however, the illusion was incredibly realistic!

"My dear brother, I am utterly incompetent! I could not protect you!"

"It's all my fault, brother."

With tears welling in his eyes, Hongyun's remnant soul cried out, "Brother! Don't blame yourself! It's all my fault. If I had listened to you back then and stayed at Wuzhuang Temple, I wouldn't have brought this calamity upon me."

Zhen Yuanzi held the Earth's membrane in his hand. This treasure had no power to kill, but its defense was invincible!

The earth's membrane can connect with the primordial mountains and rivers; once the Earth Book Array is unleashed, it becomes a moral blackmail array!

When the earth's membranes are damaged and the primeval mountains and rivers are shattered, boundless karma will fall upon them!

Even sages wouldn't dare to forcibly break through the Earth Book Formation!

Zhen Yuanzi was stunned and lost in thought.

All I've seen in the past are phantoms of Brother Hongyun!

At this moment! Zhen Yuanzi truly sensed the fluctuations in his brother Hongyun's primordial spirit!

Zhen Yuanzi's Dao heart stirred up a monstrous wave, a shocking event!

As the primordial spirit probes and comprehends!

Zhen Yuanzi's eyes widened, and his body trembled, the tremors growing more and more intense!

He stretched out his hand, his fingers trembling, his voice quivering, his face filled with disbelief, "Brother...brother...you..."

Hongyun's remnant soul grasped Zhen Yuanzi's hand tightly, "Brother! Hongyun has really returned!"

Zhen Yuanzi then realized that it was all true!

My dear brother Hongyun! He's really back!

Then, the two embraced and wept bitterly.

I don't know how much time passed.

After the joy of reunion and surviving the ordeal.

Hongyun explained, "Back then, when I self-destructed, a wisp of my primordial spirit was hidden in the Soul-Scattering Gourd, and I remained in a daze for an unknown period of time..."

"The remnant soul was about to dissipate, but fortunately, a glimmer of hope appeared!"

"He was rescued by Li Yu, the supreme ruler of the human race."

"The sovereign of humanity?"

Zhen Yuanzi was shocked.

Li Yu emerged from the spiritual mist with a smile on his face, holding the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd in his hand.

"Congratulations on the reunion of the two seniors."

"I am relieved that Senior Hongyun has arrived at Wuzhuang Temple safely."

Zhen Yuanzi grabbed Li Yu's hand, "Where did you get the Soul-Scattering Gourd?"

Li Yu smiled calmly, "Everything has a glimmer of hope, or perhaps it is fate, and I was fortunate enough to obtain it."

Does the process matter? No, it doesn't!

The greatest joy for Zhen Yuanzi is that his beloved junior brother Hongyun is alive again!

Hongyun also sighed with emotion: "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Li Yu, I would have been annihilated long ago."

Zhen Yuanzi suddenly bowed deeply to Li Yu, saying, "Thank you!"

"Great Immortal Zhenyuan, you mustn't do that. You have already done a great service to the human race, how can you bow to a junior like me?"

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head, "No! I am not Zhen Yuan Daxian! Call me elder brother!"

Overjoyed, Zhen Yuanzi grabbed Li Yu's arm, declaring, "Today, this humble Taoist wishes to sleep side-by-side with my virtuous brother Li Yu!"

We discussed the Dao all night long! There was so much to say! We could talk for ten days and ten nights and still not finish!

Talking too much will inevitably make your mouth dry!

"Gentle breeze! Bright moon! Bring three fruits!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue awoke from their cultivation, completely bewildered. "Teacher, there are only three left..."

"Teacher...are we not leaving any of them?"

"Save them? Save them my ass! Bring them all on!"

"I am happy today!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue cried again, "The Human Race's so-called Lord... what a little glutton..."

Day two.

Unable to resist Zhen Yuanzi's enthusiasm, Li Yu said, "Brother, the lady has woken up. I'm going to take her to see the sunrise. Would you like to chat with Brother Hongyun first?"

"Alright, alright. Yunxiao's injuries haven't fully healed yet. It was my oversight that I've kept you chatting for so long."

Li Yu returned to the side hall.

Yunxiao had just woken up, her eyes still sleepy, and said, "Husband."

Her voice was languid and soft.

"I've gone to discuss the Dao with my elder brother."

Yunxiao looked puzzled. "Brother?"

"It's Zhenyuan Daxian."

There was no other way! Zhen Yuanzi wouldn't allow Li Yu to call him "senior" or "great immortal" anymore; he could only call him "elder brother" or "brother"!

Yunxiao was bewildered. Who was Zhen Yuanzi?

The three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace are all fellow Daoists who address their teacher as fellow Daoists, and their seniority in the world is extremely high!

How come overnight I've become my husband's older brother?

What exactly happened?

Li Yu only explained Zhen Yuanzi's hospitality and did not mention the Soul-Scattering Gourd.

Half a month later.

Zhen Yuanzi prepared a table and insisted on making Li Yu swear brotherhood on the spot.

On the table were five fresh ginseng fruits.

Li Yu was shocked. "Brother, didn't we already eat the last three ginseng fruits?"

Zhen Yuanzi remained calm, "The fruit trees ripened using the natural ripening agents, it's nothing, just a little bit of the natural ripening agents."

Li Yu: "??"

They swore brotherhood on the spot, but did not worship the Three Pure Ones; they only revered Heaven and Earth!

With Heaven and Earth as witnesses, after swearing brotherhood, they become blood brothers, though not related by blood.

Yunxiao was increasingly confused, but her husband had become sworn brothers with Zhenyuan Daxian? It seemed to have only benefits and no drawbacks.

After becoming sworn brothers.

Wuzhuang Temple truly became Li Yu's "new home".

Zhen Yuanzi built a special Taoist temple for Li Yu, right next to the ginseng fruit tree, so that his virtuous brother could absorb the spiritual energy of the ginseng fruit tree day and night while cultivating!

Half a month later, in a daze.

Li Yu bid farewell to Zhen Yuanzi, saying, "Brother, I will be returning now."

Zhen Yuanzi knew that his virtuous brother was the supreme ruler of the human race, and that there were hundreds of millions of human compatriots to take care of. So he said very rationally, "My virtuous brother must come home to visit often."

"Um!"

"How can Brother Hongyun recover?"

Zhen Yuanzi said, "First, nourish it with the essence of the ginseng fruit tree. Damaging its foundation is not something that can be rushed."

Li Yu: "?? Won't that damage the ginseng fruit tree's essence and lower its grade?"

Zhen Yuanzi said indifferently, "It's nothing! Just a little bit of essence! If it can heal my brother, then the fruit tree has its value."

Li Yu smiled calmly, "Very well! I underestimated the bond between Brother Zhenyuan and Brother Hongyun!"

Nine flying horses spread their wings, their cloud-borne steeds piercing the sky.

Yunxiao stared into deep thought as he looked at the twenty artificially ripened ginseng fruits on the cloud carriage.

"Husband... is it really alright for us to eat and take some things?"

Li Yu helplessly spread his hands, "My lady, you saw it too. If we don't take these fruits, my brother won't let us leave at all."

"There's nothing we can do."

"I'll take this back to my father-in-law and let my fellow apprentices have a taste."

……

It was during Li Yu's stay at Wuzhuang Temple.

In the west, at the foot of Mount Sumeru.

Zhunti suddenly opened his eyes, "Bitter! It's just too bitter!"

"My Western Paradise has not received any merit or good fortune for a long time."

"We've lost so much money!"

Jieyin looked worried and distressed; he was already used to his junior brother's quick wit and various suggestions.

"Junior brother, what do you want to do?"

Zhunti chuckled, "My senior brother understands me best."

"To be honest, senior brother, I've set my sights on the Heavenly Court's destiny!"

"Haotian was originally a primordial stone, and he has a younger sister named Yaoji, who is the eldest princess of the Heavenly Court."

"If Yao Ji were to fall into the hands of the West, wouldn't we be able to manipulate Haotian? Perhaps... even turn the Heavenly Court into the West's!"

Jieyin immediately understood his junior brother's thoughts: "I've come to disrupt the heavenly order!"

Zhunti summoned Tianyou Daoist, whose Golden Immortal cultivation was a direct descendant of the Western lineage!

"I have an important task for you..."

After a long time, Daoist Tianyou transformed into a ray of Brahma light and left for the west. With the help of the sage, he transformed into a handsome young nobleman and hid among the human race.

Zhunti, however, secretly infiltrated the Heavenly Court without anyone noticing and tricked the three-headed divine dragon into escaping from the Heavenly Court!

then!

Yao Ji went to the prehistoric world to pursue the three-headed divine dragon, but was instead ambushed by it and had her Dao heart shattered.

at the same time.

The clouds chased the flowing light across the sky, and happened to pass by this place.
