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

Chapter 420

Zhen Yuanzi looked over with curiosity: "You can actually let Tongtian intercept you?"

Hongyun explained, "If I don't fight, Tongtian can still snatch a few items from Jieyin. It's not good to let Tongtian just watch!"

"I just didn't expect that even after obtaining five innate treasures, he would still covet my Seven Treasures Tree. Isn't this like eating someone else's fruit and then uprooting the tree instead!"

"Lu Ya looked so pitiful; he really didn't have a good master, and was forced into that state!"

"Do you think Tongtian will take the Seven Treasures Tree?" Hongyun was really heartbroken and kept nagging about it.

Zhen Yuanzi: "It shouldn't be like that. Lu Ya is already a quasi-sage, so he's not afraid of having his magic treasures stolen. What's wrong with letting Lu Ya see it himself? Besides, Lu Ya and Hui Yu are brothers and often visit each other at Wuzhuang Temple. If Tongtian takes away the Seven Treasures Tree, that would be too..."

Zhen Yuanzi didn't say anything too harsh, but Hongyun felt that Tongtian was capable of making things look terrible.

Suddenly, Hongyun sensed a slight fluctuation in the spiritual energy flowing within the Chaos Pearl, which was definitely not caused by their cultivation. This feeling, more like an impending eruption, must be from the Spiritual Stone Monkey.

"I'm going into the Chaos Pearl for a bit; it seems the Spiritual Stone Monkey is about to be born." After giving Zhen Yuanzi this instruction, Hongyun was already inside the Chaos Pearl.

After glancing at the five-colored stone, Hongyun said to Yuan Hong, "Use your own meridians to circulate the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique and connect with the five-colored stone."

Yuan Hong and the others all guessed that the brothers in the five-colored stone were about to be born, and without asking any questions, they all obeyed orders.

Before long, the primal power of Yuan Hong, Wuzhiqi, and the Six-Eared Macaque all converged into the Five-Colored Stone.

The air currents were gradually changing. The five-colored stone was undergoing a transformation that even the red clouds could not predict.

This future Monkey King, because he was brought from Flower Fruit Mountain into the Chaos Pearl, already possesses a much stronger foundation than in the original story.

Hongyun was also very curious about this creature born of nature, wondering what realm it would reach after its birth. He wondered if it could replicate some of the Chaos Demon Ape's splendor.

Of course, for Hongyun, investing in the Five-Colored Stone was just a casual move.

Hongyun doesn't have high expectations for his future achievements, or how much he can achieve.

Suddenly, with a loud bang, the five-colored stone shattered into pieces, from which sprang a small, golden, furry monkey, its entire body red, like a small fireball.

The little monkey did a few somersaults and landed on the ground, curiously looking at the few of its kind surrounding it.

Yuan Hong patted the little monkey's head and said, "I am the Long-Armed Ape!"

"I am the Six-Eared Macaque!"

"I am a red-bottomed macaque!"

As fellow members of the Four Mischievous Monkeys, Wuzhiqi and the others had a natural affinity for the Spirit Stone Monkey. They introduced themselves one by one, becoming familiar with the little monkey who had just been born and knew nothing about the world.

"Do you have a name?" Tongtian slowly walked over, restraining his hand that was about to reach for the little monkey, and asked.

The little monkey shook its head innocently.

"Quickly kneel down and pay your respects, this is a sage!" Wuzhiqi urged the little monkey behind him.

Although the little monkey was oblivious to the outside world while inside the colorful stone, upon seeing the red cloud, it felt a deep sense of awe and a desire to submit.

He immediately knelt down as Wuzhiqi instructed, saying, "Greetings, Sage!"

"Since it doesn't have a name, let's call it Lingming!"

"Spirit refers to the inner world or mental state."

A clear and pure state of mind: Your mind is pure, your thoughts are clear, and your purity is flawless, which is perfect for this name.

You are also a monkey, more perceptive and intelligent than ordinary people. I hope you can see through illusions and not be misled by appearances.

Hongyun shared his understanding of the name, as if he had poured immense effort into the creation of the Spirit Stone Monkey. Even Wuzhiqi and Liuer felt a pang of sadness, as they hadn't received this treatment.

But in reality, Hongyun is just lazy.

The name "Wukong" has a very significant meaning in Buddhist texts, and Hongyun didn't want him to have any connection with Buddhism, so naturally she couldn't let him use this name.

But naming is a very troublesome matter, requiring repeated consideration and constant revision. Hongyun is not a very patient person. Zhenyuanzi had already chosen the names for Yusheng and Yuheng, so she simply took the name Lingming from the Lingming Stone Monkey.

As a result, she still had to explain why she used the name "General," otherwise she would seem too perfunctory. Hongyun had been thinking about that explanation for quite a while!

Lingming bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Sage, for bestowing upon me a name. I have a name now!"

"I wish to take you as my disciple, are you willing?" Hongyun asked again.

Yuan Hong and his companions were not surprised at all; this was something they had already guessed.

Only Lingming, overjoyed, danced with delight and knelt down in an awkward manner to pay homage to his master.

Hongyun stroked Lingming's head and instructed, "Yuan Hong, you guide him to cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique. Only after he breaks through to the Taiyi level can he leave the Chaos Pearl."

"Yes!" Yuan Hong obeyed.

Lingming's talent is the best among the Four Chaotic Monkeys. With the help of Yuan Hong and others in his cultivation, and with the abundant spiritual energy within the Chaos Pearl, breaking through to the Taiyi realm should not be difficult, nor should it take long.

Once one of the four has reached the Great Luo level and the other three have reached the Taiyi level, the formation can begin to be refined.

After leaving the Chaos Pearl, Hongyun told Zhenyuanzi about how he had taken the Spirit Stone Monkey as his disciple.

Zhen Yuanzi remained calm. During this period, Hongyun seemed to have become addicted to taking on disciples, taking on more than he had in the previous tens of millions of years.

But the news that Zhen Yuanzi revealed shocked Hongyun.

"Tongtian took the Seven Treasures Tree!"

"I even picked one of your unripe black jade plum blossoms and traded it with Lu Ya!"

"Lu Ya was reluctant to part with her and even got kicked a few times."

After Tongtian left, Huiyu came to complain.

Hongyun's expression shifted from shock to helplessness. How come Tongtian is doing all sorts of things now?

"What should I do? I feel so awful, I want to punch him!"

"But just beating him up won't suffice. What will suffice?"

Hongyun looked to Zhen Yuanzi for help.

Zhen Yuanzi was also helpless. He rarely left Wuzhuang Temple, so what solutions could he come up with for Hongyun?

Especially considering how despicable Hongyun and Tongtian were, he couldn't have imagined or done such a thing.

In the end, all he could do was comfort him, saying, "Wait until the great calamity ends. After the calamity ends, you can beat him up. If one beating isn't enough, then two."

Hongyun slumped into Zhen Yuanzi's arms like a deflated balloon, still accusing Tongtian.

"He put on an act when he took the five innate treasures, and he put on an act again when he had Lu Ya trick me into giving him the Seven Treasures Tree. How can he be such a drama queen now!"

Hongyun remained engrossed in Tongtian's actions, constantly lodging accusations.

Little did he know that when he leaned into Zhen Yuanzi's arms, Zhen Yuanzi froze instantly, then embraced Hongyun and moved to another spot.

By the time Hongyun realized something was wrong and tried to struggle, the room had already been enchanted, making it impossible for her to get in or out.
