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

Chapter 417

"These are innate treasures; each of you may choose one!"

The Peng Demon King, who had just joined the Wuzhuang Temple, was shocked. He hadn't even completed the apprenticeship ceremony yet, and he was already being given a legendary innate treasure.

Is it really that good to be a disciple of a sage?

Is it really that good to acknowledge someone as your father?

Zhen Yuanzi looked at Hui Yu, who was at the head of the group: "Hui Yu, since your senior brother isn't here, you can start!"

Huiyu's gaze swept over the several magical artifacts, and finally she chose the Six Pure Bamboos.

Hongyun nodded in satisfaction. These six pure bamboo sticks can seal off an opponent's tongue consciousness, body consciousness, mind consciousness, eye consciousness, ear consciousness, and nose consciousness, leaving the opponent completely unaware, as if they are in a void. They are extremely effective in one-on-one combat.

Only Huiyu can unleash the full power of this item. If it were someone else, even if they sealed their opponent's six senses, they might not be able to kill them in one strike.

Afterwards, the group took turns choosing, and each person received the most suitable magic weapon for themselves. Even Mosquito Taoist, Multi-Eyed Centipede, and others who had never formally become disciples received magic weapons to enhance the power of the formation.

The newly appointed Peng Demon King chose the Blessed Divine Pestle, the very thing that, in the original story, turned Kong Xuan back to his original form.

Having obtained the magical artifact, the Roc Demon King knelt down once more: "Thank you, Master!"

Hongyun couldn't say whether she liked or disliked him; she was merely being entrusted to teach him a thing or two. Seeing that Peng Demon King didn't have much blood energy, she didn't seem unwilling.

He asked casually, "What is your name?"

Surely no one would call themselves the Peng Demon King!

Peng Demon King said, "My name is Ji Chong. I am called Peng Demon King because I resemble a roc."

Zhen Yuanzi was slightly displeased: "Since you call yourself the Demon King, why don't you go to the Demon Realm with your father?"

Zhen Yuanzi had always disliked Kunpeng. Although he wouldn't show it outwardly, he was unwilling to let Hongyun take Hongchen's son as his disciple. If Kunpeng frequently visited in the future, wouldn't that give Hongchen a chance to rise from the ashes?

Peng Demon King quickly explained, "I used to be a rogue cultivator with little skill, so I joined forces with the demon race. Occasionally, we would fight, but it was always a struggle to protect ourselves. My attacks were inevitably a bit ruthless, and having a name that exudes a fierce aura would intimidate others."

"Now that I am fortunate enough to have a sage as my teacher, I will definitely devote myself to cultivation and never again act recklessly or violently."

Hongyun said, "Since I promised your father I would take you as my disciple, I will not go back on my word. However, now that you have joined the Wuzhuang Temple, you must no longer utter the words 'Demon King'."

Hongyun knew Zhen Yuanzi's thoughts, but there was really no need to make things difficult for a junior, so she spoke up to ease the tension.

"Yes, disciple will obey your orders!" Peng Demon King finally breathed a sigh of relief. Being a disciple of a saint was so good; he didn't want to be beaten back to that little demon's state.

Tongtian suddenly noticed Lu Ya, who was staring expectantly at him, and asked, "Lu Ya, what are you doing here?"

Lu Ya was a little confused. Hadn't he just bowed and explained why he was here?

However, since there were so many people, he naturally wouldn't expose his master's mistake, so he explained again: "When my senior brother and I were helping Beihai, we happened to meet you. We haven't seen each other for many years, and I really didn't want to part, so I asked my senior brother for permission to stay with you at Wuzhuang Temple for a while."

Tongtian immediately reprimanded, "Then what are you doing here? The two sages are distributing treasures to their disciples, and what are you just standing there watching?"

"Even if you are the son of an old friend, the disciple of a close friend, or the younger brother of their disciple, you are still not a disciple of Wuzhuang Temple. Do you think the two sages will give you anything just because you're watching them longingly?"
