Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Zhen Yuanzi planned to expand Wuzhuang Temple and set aside a separate Taoist temple as Hongyun's residence. After all, Hongyun was already a sage, and even if he was indifferent to fame and fortune, he couldn't be too much inferior to the Three Pure Ones.

"Do you want to choose another place of practice, or continue to live in Wuzhuang Temple? If you live in Wuzhuang Temple, I can expand it and build a magnificent pavilion that reaches into the clouds." Zhen Yuanzi asked Hongyun what she wanted to do, but his words already revealed what he wanted to do.

Hongyun understood the choice Zhen Yuanzi gave him; it wasn't a choice between two options, but a choice he happily accepted.

However, this answer was exactly what Hongyun wanted.

Hongyun had no desire to leave. Living at Wuzhuang Temple was so wonderful; Zhen Yuanzi took care of everything, from visitors to magical artifacts and spiritual roots. He only needed to ask. Why would he waste such a good life going out to suffer? He'd be a fool.

Although he didn't know why Zhen Yuanzi didn't want him to leave, Hongyun wasn't the type to pry into everything. He simply assumed that the two were close friends and that Zhen Yuanzi didn't want to live alone in Wuzhuang Temple with his young disciple, cultivating in solitude without anyone to talk to.

"Then I must be living at Wuzhuang Temple! I can't live without you now~" Hongyun said cheekily, hugging Zhenyuanzi's arm and rubbing her head against it.

Unexpectedly, this simple action seemed to have touched a nerve with Zhen Yuanzi, causing him to jump up, shove Hongyun's head away, and only after his eyes changed from fear to rage did he speak, "Stay away from me!"

Hongyun stared blankly at Zhen Yuanzi, wondering what was going on.

"We're brothers, why are you making such a fuss if I touch you? You're not a virgin!"

Hongyun left after saying that. "Hmph, fine, I won't touch you then. Do you think you're some kind of virgin who'll let others take advantage of you?"

It was only after Hongyun had been gone for a long time that Zhen Yuanzi calmed down the turmoil in his heart.

A streak of light flashed from Zhen Yuanzi's body, and Zhiwo Shi Hongchen stood opposite Zhen Yuanzi.

"You coward! If it were me, I would never have let him leave in anger." Hongchen, abandoning his gentle demeanor towards Hongyun, looked at Zhenyuanzi with sarcasm and disdain.

Zhen Yuanzi remained silent and began casting a spell to retract the Corpse of Wozhi into his body. However, to his surprise, his true self could not control the retraction and release of the Corpse of Wozhi.

Hongchen snorted coldly: "It seems you are truly unsettled, not even aware of your own breakthrough in the Self-Controlling Corpse cultivation."

Zhen Yuanzi then discovered that Hong Chen had actually broken through to the late stage of Quasi-Saint, and was able to fight against him without being at a disadvantage.

When Zhen Yuanzi severed the three corpses, he knew that the cultivation level of the three corpses would increase according to the cultivation level of the main body, but would never exceed that of the main body. But now, the corpse that controls me has broken through in cultivation without his knowledge and is no longer obeying his commands.

"Return to my body!" Zhen Yuanzi commanded in a deep voice.

Hongchen sneered, "If I wanted to go back, why would I have come out in the first place?"

"You coward, I'll do what you can't do. Just watch!"

Zhen Yuanzi angrily rebuked, "Your heart is despicable! You are forbidden to appear before Hongyun before the New Year, lest you ruin Hongyun's cultivation!"

"It is your despicable and vile mind that formed your obsession, leading you to sever my corpse. It is also your intensified obsession and inability to control your mind that allowed my cultivation to break through."

Do you think that the one who cut off my body and harbored such despicable thoughts was me and not you?

I am the witness to your despicable, shameless, and vile thoughts!
