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

"Regardless of whether Fellow Daoist Tongtian blames me or not, I feel guilty. If Fellow Daoist Tongtian is unwilling to accept this Southern Flame Banner, it means he is unwilling to associate with me anymore. I urge Fellow Daoist Tongtian to accept it, so that I can continue to play with Fellow Daoist Tongtian in the future."

Hongyun saw through Tongtian's sincerity; he truly didn't blame him for proposing the competition. But since the gift had already been given, he wouldn't take it back. He wanted Tongtian to accept the Southern Flame Banner so that they would have fewer worries when playing together in the future, and he would feel less guilty when Tongtian got beaten up.

Indeed, after seeing Tongtian's attitude, Hongyun also regarded Tongtian as a fat sheep, except that Hongyun was eyeing the wool rather than the mutton.

"Then...then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Hongyun." Tongtian refused several times but finally accepted the Southern Flame Banner.

However, he was still a little embarrassed, since the Southern Flame Banner was a supreme innate treasure, and its value was beyond question. So he said, "I have no return gift to offer. Why don't you come with me to Kunlun Mountain as a guest? The pills refined by my eldest brother and the magic weapons refined by my second brother are both of the highest quality. Please feel free to choose one."

"There's no rush to visit Kunlun Mountain. We're good friends, so why worry about not having the opportunity to visit Kunlun Mountain?"

"Now, I am traveling through the primordial land with Fellow Daoist Xiangtongtian, but unfortunately, the three races are currently engaged in a great war in various parts of the primordial land. Going out at this time will inevitably involve me in karma." Hongyun sighed, somewhat regretfully.

Previously, they hid back in Wuzhuang Temple for safety reasons, but now that one of the Three Pure Ones is with them, safety is no longer a concern.

Tongtian possessed the merits of creating the world and was the most protected person by the Heavenly Dao. Even the Ancestral Dragon and the Primordial Phoenix would not antagonize him.

That title alone is enough to make others wary. Hongyun ate several dragons, schemed against several phoenixes, and almost lost his life, but Tongtian acted as if nothing had happened, and no one ever bothered him.

Tongtian sighed and complained, "My two elder brothers said the same thing, not letting me go down the mountain to get involved in karma, and keeping me in seclusion on Kunlun Mountain. But they have been in seclusion for a long time, and their cultivation has not improved. Instead, their tempers have become more and more irritable."

Hongyun looked at the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi with a troubled expression. This was Yuanshi's innate spiritual treasure, and it was connected to Yuanshi's mind. Whatever the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi heard, would Yuanshi also hear it?

Because she was unsure whether the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi had the ability to listen or transmit sound in real time, Hongyun became much more cautious in her speech:

"It's certainly a good thing to be able to settle down and go into seclusion. I'm just the kind of person who can't sit still. When I go into seclusion, Zhen Yuanzi has to urge me on and keep an eye on me, and he even has to use a barrier to keep me locked up in Wuzhuang Temple. Compared to the diligence of Fellow Daoists Laozi and Yuanshi, I'm really far behind!"

Tongtian flicked his sleeves in annoyance: "Second Brother is just stubborn. If I hadn't repeatedly assured him that I was coming to Wuzhuang Temple to find you two fellow Daoists and wouldn't stop along the way, he definitely wouldn't have agreed!"

There's only one Wuzhuang Temple, and both Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi are blessed with good fortune. But how long can he stay? He finally found a like-minded Daoist friend, Hongyun, but they ended up in the same boat, both being watched closely by Zhenyuanzi.

Suddenly, Tongtian's eyes lit up, and he secretly asked Hongyun, "If we were to visit Kunlun Mountain, would Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi agree?"

If they agree, they can go anywhere after leaving Wuzhuang Temple, and Zhen Yuanzi will not know at all, let alone chase after them.
