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

Chapter 347

Although the number of heavenly lightning bolts above Mount Sumeru was the same as when Zhao Gongming broke through, several sages could see that the Heavenly Dao had clearly given Mount Sumeru a hard time.

Those thunderbolts sounded deafening, but they were actually empty.

"Poor Huiyu suffered such hardship, falling behind them all the way." Hongyun pounded the wall in anger.

Zhen Yuanzi's face was also ashen, but he still comforted Hongyun: "Don't be angry, it won't help."

Hongyun looked helplessly at Zhen Yuanzi's needle. He really knew how to comfort her; her anger vanished instantly!

After the person in Mount Sumeru broke through, the heavenly lightning did not stop, but moved to a different position and began to fall from the sky on Mount Kunlun again.

The same number, slightly more powerful than at Mount Sumeru, but still far inferior to those over the East China Sea.

"My Huiyu~" Hongyun was completely speechless, only feeling heartache for Huiyu.

Zhen Yuanzi: "It's only a few years later, Huiyu may still have a chance to break through to the Quasi-Saint level."

"Sigh~"

The consecutive breakthroughs of three Quasi-Saints caused an uproar in the prehistoric world, with speculation, envy, and all sorts of reactions.

Chu Xin could also see these heavenly lightning bolts in Chaoge, and was shocked and puzzled.

First came the Jie Sect, then Buddhism, and then the Chan Sect. Among the abodes of sages, only the Human Sect, which had only one disciple who was already a quasi-sage, and the Wuzhuang Temple were left behind.

Every cultivator dreams of breaking through to become a powerful being. But there are only a few spots for saints, so if one can't dream of becoming a saint, one can only strive to become a quasi-saint.

Chu Xin's initial aptitude was not as good as Bu Ran's, but he had been diligent in his studies and had not fallen behind Bu Ran. He had also been holding back his efforts, wanting to break through to the Quasi-Saint level and surpass Bu Ran.

Now that he had seen the thunder, he could no longer contain himself. He handed over the affairs of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion and hurriedly returned to Wuzhuang Temple.

"Greetings, Master, Saint Zhenyuan!"

Hongyun knew what the original intention was and could understand his current feelings, but such eagerness did not seem like the kind of person who could accomplish great things.

He frowned and asked, "Why are you back?"

Huiyu knelt on the ground and stammered, "This disciple has seen that the Jie Sect, Buddhism, and Chan Sect all have been struck by lightning tribulations, but my Wuzhuang Temple has not... I wonder if Senior Brother Huiyu is a little late? Is there anything this disciple can do to help you in the mortal realm?"

"Although the human race is small and weak, it has great fortune and many opportunities, which may be useful to Senior Brother Huiyu."

"Your senior brother Huiyu was rescued, but his cultivation level dropped, and he is now recuperating in the temple." Hongyun knew Huiyu's thoughts, and it was normal for a young person not to want to fall behind others, so she did not make things difficult for him.

"Who injured Senior Brother Huiyu?"

Chu Xin was greatly shocked. In his eyes, Senior Brother Huiyu was already an extremely powerful person, only one step away from breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm. Who could have injured Senior Brother Huiyu and caused his cultivation level to drop?

"Aren't Senior Brothers Yusheng and Yuheng always with Senior Brother Huiyu?" Could it be that the three of them being together would be at a disadvantage?

"Yu Sheng and Yu Heng are dead." Hong Yun sighed again.

It's embarrassing to even talk about what happened between the three of them!

The two sages of Wuzhuang Temple were arguably the most powerful in the primordial world, yet their beloved disciple was killed and the matter was left unresolved.

Although Jieyin died once and his strength was weakened, it could not make up for the damage Huiyu suffered.

Chu Xin stared in disbelief: "How could this be? Who is it?"

"Do you think anyone would dare to provoke my Wuzhuang Temple?" Hongyun sneered.

Thinking of the disgusting things done by the Chan Sect and Buddhism, he then instructed, "You all must be careful in all things in the human world. Now the Great Calamity is no longer just a battlefield in the human world; various sects have also begun to plot against each other."

Previously, a disciple of the Chan Sect attempted to ambush Mo Wang, but your senior brother Kong Xuan witnessed it. Although he swallowed the disciple, he was also injured.

Furthermore, the three Huiyu brothers went out on a mission but were betrayed, resulting in two deaths and one injury. Your senior brother Huiyu was also marked with a Buddhist saint's primordial spirit imprint; although he has been successfully rescued, his cultivation level has declined.

Chu Xin quickly calmed himself down. He had always been in the mortal realm and was unaware of all the things that had happened in his sect. Now that he thought about it, he was truly shocked.

When sages engage in a battle of magic, aren't these lowly minions just there to be killed and used as provocations?

His dream of becoming a Quasi-Saint shattered instantly. Even the combined efforts of the three Huiyu brothers could result in such a tragic outcome. How could a mere human, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, possibly get involved in the Quasi-Saint competition and attract the attention of those Saints?

"Master, rest assured, your disciple will stay in Chaoge obediently and act carefully in all things, and will never tarnish your reputation." Chu Xin repeatedly agreed, but it was clear that he was still a little scared.

"How is the war going in the human world?" Hongyun nodded and suddenly asked.

Hongyun only remembered after seeing Chuxin that Yuanshi and Jieyin had been causing trouble lately, and he hadn't paid attention to the situation in the human world for a long time.

Chu Xin hesitated for a moment before speaking: "When Junior Brother Mo Wang sent the message, he mentioned that Ji Chang has already promoted Buddhism and has even earned the reputation of a Western Sage in Xiqi. In addition, he has three sons who have already been ordained."

"His second son, Ji Fa, became a disciple of Jiang Ziya of the Chan Sect and began to study magic. He entered the Xiqi court and showed signs of rivalry with Boyi Kao."

Hongyun glanced at him indifferently: "How about Chaoge?"

Logically speaking, Chu Xin should know the situation in Chaoge best, and should explain the matter in Chaoge first, and then relay the message from Mo Wangchuan.

But Chu Xin hesitated and skipped over Chaoge, which means that something happened in Chaoge, and that he had done something wrong.

"Nothing serious has happened in Chaoge." Chu Xin lowered her head even further, not daring to look at Hong Yun's face.

Seeing that he was answering too slowly, Zhen Yuanzi simply calculated it himself.

After a moment, the scrutinizing gaze fell upon Chu Xin: "Is the nine-tailed fox still obedient? Has it indiscriminately killed innocent people? Has it enslaved the common people?"

Chu Xin instantly broke out in a cold sweat; he knew he couldn't hide it anymore, but...

"The Nine-Tailed Fox wholeheartedly assisted Emperor Xin and never committed any murders. However, Queen Jiang was jealous of the Nine-Tailed Fox's exclusive favor with Emperor Xin and repeatedly framed and attempted to kill her."

Shortly before the disciple returned to the mountain, Queen Jiang died as a result of the Nine-Tailed Fox's scheme, and was personally killed by Emperor Xin.

This is nothing serious. Intrigues and schemes abound in the imperial harem. Even if the nine-tailed fox were just an ordinary woman, it would be easy for her to take lives when vying for favor.

"Is there anything else?"

If it were just this one thing, the original intention shouldn't have been like this.

As expected, Chu Xin continued, "Because of Queen Jiang's death, Princes Yin Jiao and Yin Hong hated the Nine-Tailed Fox and their disciple. In order to avenge Queen Jiang, they became involved with the Chan Sect."

"This is because you failed to do your job properly!" Hongyun said coldly.

"It is my incompetence that I failed to control the situation," Chu Xin immediately admitted his mistake and apologized.

"No matter what scheme the Nine-Tailed Fox used to kill Queen Jiang, since you and the Nine-Tailed Fox are on the same side, you should clear the evidence for her and establish the guilt of Queen Jiang at the time of her death."
