The Primordial Era: Starting from Being Forced to Become an Apprentice of the Three Pure Ones

Taibai arrived at the edge of the protective array of Kunlun Mountain, passed on a passage incantation to Hongyun, and then led him safely into the array.

Hongyun will be an important assistant to him in the future, and his resurrection was carried out by Master Tongtian himself, with all the secrets of heaven being concealed.

Looking across the vast wilderness, even other sages might not be able to fathom its secrets.

Therefore, Taibai did not intend to report Hongyun's rebirth to his two teachers, Taiqing and Yuqing. The fewer people who knew, the safer it would be.

"Sir, who is this gentleman...?"

Xiao Hei had just woken up from meditation and saw a cultivator with an unfamiliar aura accompanying Tai Bai, which made him quite curious.

"This humble Taoist, Hongyun, greets fellow Taoist."

Hongyun stepped forward and spoke first, her voice calm and gentle.

"Red Clouds?"

Upon hearing the pronunciation of the name, Xiao Hei instinctively took a half-step back.

Although he was a Golden Immortal, he was in a sacred place like Kunlun Mountain, so he had heard about many of the major events that happened in the prehistoric world.

He naturally knew the news that the Old Ancestor Hongyun had been besieged by a group of powerful figures and ultimately died.

The fact that someone dared to use a Taoist name so similar to Hongyun's made him uneasy.

In the primordial world, names and karma are of utmost importance.

If this "Hongyun" is indeed that "Hongyun," or if there is a deliberate attempt to get involved with him, it could lead to unimaginable trouble.

Xiao Hei glanced at his master, seeing that Tai Bai's expression was normal and there was nothing unusual, before turning to Hong Yun and hesitatingly saying:

"Fellow Daoist, are you not afraid of being entangled in karma with the late Ancestor Hongyun?"

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. My Daoist name is 'Hongda' (meaning 'great') and 'Yun' (meaning 'luck'), and has nothing to do with that ancestor."

Taibai had already secretly deduced that even if Hongyun continued to use her old name, because her past karma had been settled with the annihilation of her primordial spirit,

The newborn body and soul are both brand new, and may not necessarily be subject to new tribulations.

However, changing one's Taoist name is ultimately a safer option, as it can at least avoid a lot of unnecessary trials and troubles.

"Alright. Now that you've left the mountain, continue patrolling and guarding outside the mountain gate. Be careful to identify those with heavy karma and don't let them enter the mountain again."

"Yes, Xiao Hei understands."

Although Xiao Hei had doubts, it dared not ask any more questions. It responded and then transformed into a streak of black light, flying towards the outer edge of Kunlun Mountain.

Taibai passed on all the methods of cultivating the primordial spirit he knew to Hongyun.

Now, Hongyun is just a soul; her primordial spirit has dissipated, and everything must start from scratch.

These cultivation methods are the foundation for him to quickly reunite his primordial spirit and restore his cultivation level.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

"Master, a spiritual treasure has appeared in Wuyi Mountain, and two cultivators are elusive. I cannot find them for the time being."

Just then, Qingmu's voice suddenly rang in Taibai's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay here and cultivate in peace. I have something to attend to and must leave for a moment."

Taibai patted Hongyun on the shoulder, and with a swift movement, he transformed into a golden light and sped off towards Wuyi Mountain.

In his memory, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were not highly skilled, and the Falling Treasure Coin was not a weapon. Logically speaking, Qingmu should have had no trouble dealing with them.

The fact that Aoki has come seeking help indicates that these two are indeed facing a difficult situation.

Taibai speculated that Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao likely possessed some kind of extremely powerful concealment ability, which was why Qingmu was unable to track them down.

He had to get there as soon as possible, otherwise the opportunity he had gained would slip away once the two of them escaped.

However, even if Taibai were to unleash its full power of the Golden Light that Soars Across the Earth, it would still take at least five or six days to travel from Kunlun Mountain to Wuyi Mountain.

These next few days, it all depends on whether Aoki can trap the person.

If they do manage to escape, all one can do is sigh that their opportunity hasn't arrived yet.

At this moment, in the Wuyi Mountains, Qingmu had already set up numerous arrays, covering the mountains.

He could immediately sense anyone who touched the barrier, and no matter how skillful the other party's concealment technique was, it would be difficult to completely avoid the fluctuations of the array's power.

Just in case, Aoki summoned all the cultivators in the mountain who had taken human form and assigned them tasks:

"Spread out, one person every ten paces, and keep a close watch. If there is any unusual movement, immediately warn me and report back to me!"

Although the cultivators in the mountains are not highly skilled, their large numbers and distribution in various places make up for their strength, forming a tight security network.

As long as they stand there, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao will inevitably feel increased pressure.

When their minds are in disarray, their movements are more likely to reveal their weaknesses.

After giving his instructions, Aoki himself did not relax. His figure transformed into a green shadow as he carefully searched the mountains and forests.

Meanwhile, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were hiding deep inside a secluded cave.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng, what should we do? That wolf demon is a Golden Immortal."

"You and I are merely at the True Immortal realm. Even if we possess the Treasure-Falling Coin, it can only knock away people's treasures; it cannot harm them in the slightest."

Xiao Sheng remained silent, his brows furrowed.

They originally planned to transform into human form after Qingmu left Wuyi Mountain, but a few days ago they were unable to suppress their cultivation and had to risk transforming into human form.

If it weren't for my quick reflexes and decent stealth skills, I'm afraid I would have been captured by that wolf demon long ago.

After a long while, Xiao Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and stared intently at Cao Bao:

"Strike first, strike hard. Rather than sitting here waiting to die, we should look for an opportunity to break out. Otherwise, we'll be discovered sooner or later."

"But the opponent is a Golden Immortal, and has already set up a great formation. If we force our way out, wouldn't we be walking into a trap?"

Cao Bao was startled; being a calm and collected man, he was unwilling to take any risks.

"That wolf demon is surrounded by merit, so it is definitely not a bloodthirsty creature. Even if it is captured, its life should not be in danger."

Seeing that Cao Bao was still hesitant, he took out the coin from his pocket and threw it at Cao Bao:

"If you insist on staying, I will not force you. But I am determined to give it a try."

After saying that, Xiao Sheng concealed his aura and cautiously peered out of the cave.

Cao Bao clutched the still-warm coins, struggled for a moment, then gritted his teeth and quietly followed.

The two men, one in front and one behind, cautiously made their way down the mountain, using the cover of grass, trees, and rocks.

Suddenly, Xiao Sheng stopped in his tracks, turned around abruptly, and shouted at Cao Bao behind him:

"Fellow Daoist, escape at once!"

Immediately, Xiao Sheng took a step back, his magical power rapidly gathering around him, and he prepared to attack Qingmu.

Aoki simply stood still, not even glancing at the two. In his eyes, these two mere Celestial Immortal cultivators were no different from ants.

He even felt a bit mischievous, wanting to see just how far the two of them could struggle.

However, Aoki was ultimately careless. If he had known the function of the Treasure-Falling Coin, he would never have taken out the spiritual treasure.

Just as Aoki raised his longsword, preparing to casually shatter Xiao Sheng's attack, the treasure-dropping coin in Cao Bao's palm flashed silently.

The longsword in Aoki's hand flew out and landed steadily in Cao Bao's palm.

Xiao Sheng's attack, which Qingmu had initially dismissed, was now closing in on him.

Aoki's magical power faltered, and caught off guard, he was forced to retreat several steps.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao did not hesitate; they turned around and transformed into two streaks of light.

They sped away into the depths of the mountains and forests, disappearing into the vegetation in the blink of an eye.
