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

Chapter 27, Breakthrough in Cultivation

"You won't tell me unless I ask; isn't this just forcing a sale?"

"Ding! All goods sold by this system are of high quality and low price, and are exclusively available from this one supplier. The host is expected to maintain respect for the system; otherwise, this system will activate its electric shock mode."

Hongyun rolled her eyes inelegantly. This unfair fate was something she couldn't resist. Fortunately, Jieyin and Zhunti were still at Wuzhuang Temple, so they could take advantage of her again and make up for it.

Unwilling to continue entangled with this unreasonable system, Hongyun immediately began cultivating. With the cultivation breakthrough he had just purchased, Hongyun directly challenged his long-standing bottleneck.

Where there had been stagnation and obstruction before, everything now seemed to flow smoothly and effortlessly, the passage of magical power becoming silky and supple.

Several hours later, Hongyun entered the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw Zhen Yuanzi waiting in the courtyard. He had also sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations when Zhen Yuanzi broke through, so he came over to check on the situation.

Having just sensed the calming of the spiritual energy within the room, Zhen Yuanzi knew that Hongyun had broken through. Seeing Hongyun emerge, he simply smiled and said, "Congratulations!"

He made no mention of his initial worry when he first noticed the surge of spiritual energy.

Hongyun laughed heartily, "Perhaps I was too focused during the fight with the ferocious beast, and some part of my energy broke through its limitations. I broke through while adjusting my breathing just now, and even I was surprised!"

Although Zhen Yuanzi wouldn't be jealous, no one could talk about the system. To avoid arousing suspicion, it was better to make up a reason, since Zhen Yuanzi wouldn't suspect anything anyway.

"Although Zhenyuan took human form a little later than me, the commotion he caused was much greater. It's clear that Zhenyuan's cultivation will surpass mine and soar to great heights." Hongyun was worried that Zhenyuanzi would be disappointed, so she specially comforted him.

But in reality, Zhen Yuanzi didn't care at all when he would break through. When the time was right and he had worked hard enough, he would naturally break through.

Zhen Yuanzi: "It's great that Hongyun has made such progress; it gives us an even better chance of winning."

"I'm going out to check the situation. I wonder how many ferocious beasts are still on Longevity Mountain," Hongyun said, frowning.

Hongyun couldn't just sit and wait to die. Even though he knew the ferocious beast would be destroyed, he couldn't bear to hide and coldly watch others sacrifice themselves.

Zhen Yuanzi shared this idea and nodded in agreement: "As beings of the primordial world, we should naturally protect it."

Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi reached an agreement, but Jieyin and Zhunti did not.

Sensing the fluctuations in spiritual energy, Jieyin and Zhunti also came over hesitantly. They walked a few steps and discussed it for a while. Just as they got close, they heard Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi talking. They hid not far away and eavesdropped for a few words.

They quickly stepped forward to stop them: "No, no! That ferocious beast is extremely brutal. If Fellow Daoist Hongyun is not protected by Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi's Earth Book, then there will be no protection for him."

Hongyun frowned and glanced at Zhunti: "If a large number of ferocious beasts attack, the Earth Book may not be able to protect Wuzhuang Temple for long."

Jieyin was terrified: "Then, what should we do? Let's find a more secluded place..."

"Do you intend to hide in the primordial wilderness and be destroyed by ferocious beasts?" Zhen Yuanzi glanced at the two with disdain and said no more.

People with different paths cannot work together. We were never on the same path. We only fought against a common enemy once, and it's not enough to call us friends.

"You may leave now. I will not pursue the matter of the ginseng fruit tree any further."

Jieyin and Zhun exchanged a glance, then turned and left.

The previous battle with the ferocious beast had left the two exhausted, both physically and mentally, and they no longer wanted to fight it. They thought that the Earth Book at Wuzhuang Temple would provide some safety, but it turned out to be the same. So why were they still staying at Wuzhuang Temple, being oppressed and enslaved by Hongyun?
