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

Chapter 38, The Battle of the Dragon and Phoenix

Zhen Yuanzi took several breaths to calmly speak: "I need to go into seclusion!"

If he hadn't gone into seclusion immediately after speaking, Hongyun would have truly believed he wasn't angry.

Hongyun curled her lip, "A primordial being, a Grand Luo expert, what a stingy person."

"You stingy person drinks cold water, but you'll burn your mouth if you drink hot water!" Hongyun rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath.

Zhen Yuanzi's brow twitched. He was so close to Hongyun, and she was a Great Luo cultivator; how could she not hear him?

[Ding! 100 points of anger have been credited to your account!]

"I won't drink water!" Zhen Yuanzi left these words and went into the room, even setting up a barrier so that Hongyun couldn't go in and disturb him.

Hongyun was also wronged. She really didn't mean it. Who cares about a hundred or so points of anger? Why did Zhen Yuanzi get angry? It's such a small matter.

However, Zhen Yuanzi made it clear that he wouldn't let him in, and Hongyun couldn't force his way in, so he had no choice but to entrust the Moyu Hanmei to Mingyue Qingfeng for care before going back to his room to cultivate in seclusion.

When she emerged from the pass again, she was awakened by a dragon's roar, followed by the cry of a phoenix. Hongyun opened her eyes and went out to investigate, only to find a dragon and a phoenix locked in a life-or-death battle.

The place where they fought was far from Longevity Mountain, and Hongyun only watched the excitement and guessed who won and who lost based on the sounds.

However, this proves that the great calamity of the dragon and phoenix is ​​about to begin.

This matter is none of Hongyun's concern. Hongyun should simply remain in his secluded corner and cultivate diligently on Longevity Mountain. He can venture out again after the great calamity has passed and Hongjun has become a saint! Going out now would be too unsafe, and he might easily incur karmic entanglements.

Zhen Yuanzi also came over, not to watch the excitement, but to prevent Hongyun from following along just to watch the excitement.

Hearing those two voices, he knew that both the dragon and the phoenix were masters among masters, far surpassing him. If Hongyun were to follow out of curiosity, even without angering them, he would still be caught in the crossfire of their fight and injured.

Hongyun wasn't that foolish; he guessed even more than Zhen Yuanzi. This dragon and phoenix had fought their way up Wanshou Mountain, and possessed such profound magical power; they were definitely not unknown figures. They were very likely the Ancestral Dragon and the Primordial Phoenix.

Only a fool would move forward at this point; they'd be too busy dodging to move forward.

"Has there been any breakthrough?" The first thing Zhen Yuanzi asked Hongyun when he saw him was his cultivation level.

That's an unnecessary question. If it were a breakthrough, spiritual energy would definitely leak out, and since he was also at Wuzhuang Temple, he could naturally sense it.

Hongyun looked helpless: "There's no difference at all, it's perfectly stable."

Zhen Yuanzi was also somewhat disappointed. He had been in human form for a long time, but his cultivation had not improved at all. He clearly had a good foundation and talent, so why was he still not seeing results after all his efforts?

Looking at the current state of the primordial world, turmoil is brewing again. Who knows when it will affect Wuzhuang Temple? If we don't have the ability to protect ourselves, what will we do?

"Let's continue our seclusion!" Zhen Yuanzi sighed.

Since there are higher realms, their inability to break through means they haven't put in enough effort, and the only option for now is to continue their seclusion.

Hongyun instantly wailed; if he continued in seclusion any longer, he'd grow mushrooms! Children raised in later generations simply couldn't endure years of stillness; without a calm mind, how could anything be effective?

"Don't go into seclusion anymore! We've been in seclusion for so many years and still haven't made any progress. Why not go out for a walk, relax, and maybe your cultivation will break through when you're in a better mood!"
