Primordial Era: I, Hongyun, take charge of the literary path

Driven by certain individuals in the shadows, suspicions surrounding the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans have deepened, and the calamity-inducing energy has grown stronger, making a decisive battle a possibility at any moment.

After Hongyun broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, his understanding of the Great Tribulation deepened, and he was also shocked by the power of the three races.

Before entering the Great Luo realm, he viewed the three races as mere flowers in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water. Only after entering the Great Luo realm did he realize that it was just the tip of the iceberg, a glimpse of the whole picture through a tube.

When Hongyun broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, transcended the river of time and space, and interfered with the cause and effect of fate, he sensed a series of gazes, each one belonging to a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

There were also some gazes that made Hongyun feel pressured just from the corner of his eye. If it weren't for the Wen Yun Diagram and the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler suppressing his fortune, his background would probably have been sensed from afar and would have come knocking on his door at any moment.

"Ah, if you don't enter the Great Luo, you're just a fish in the river; if you do enter the Great Luo, you're just a fisherman on the riverbank."

Hongyun sighed. The moment he broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he transformed from a chess piece into a chess player.

Chess players are chess players, but there are big and small players, and Hongyun is obviously an insignificant one.

Having broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Hongyun may have the right to sit back and watch the changing winds and clouds, but he is not qualified to participate in them.

Hongyun has no intention of participating in the Dragon-Han Great Calamity. He'd rather be a bystander detached from the battlefield, and perhaps even profit from the chaos of war.

His era will be in the next great calamity; the next Lich calamity will be the time for Hongyun to truly shine.

Thinking of this, Hongyun looked at the incarnations born from the three origins of "water, fire, and wind," and could clearly see their appearances and personality traits from their appearances.

There is no distinction between male and female in the primordial beings. Their appearance is a product of their hearts. They are neither male nor female, but can be male or female. They are a unified whole of yin and yang before they are separated.

Regarding the appearance of her incarnation, Hongyun was not bound by her memories of her past life and decided that the appearance was male.

The embodiment of water is a gentle-looking woman with a mild temperament. She mainly cultivates the Dao of Arrays and secondarily cultivates the Law of Water. She is named Shuiyun Daoren and her main cultivation technique is "Shuiyun Tu", which is modified from Hongyun's "Hongyun Daojing".

The incarnation of fire is a burly man with a violent appearance and a fiery temper. He mainly cultivates alchemy and secondarily cultivates the laws of fire. He is named Daoist Huoyun and his main cultivation method is the "Huoyun Scripture", which is modified from Hongyun's "Hongyun Dao Scripture".

The incarnation of the wind is a handsome and dashing man with an elegant personality. He mainly cultivates the art of weaponry and secondarily cultivates the laws of wind. He is named Fengyun Daoren and his main cultivation technique is "Fengyun Lu", which is modified from Hongyun's "Hongyun Daojing".

In terms of naming, Sanyun uses "Yun" (cloud) as its name, inheriting the "Yun" character from Hongyun: Shuiyun (water cloud), Huoyun (fire cloud), and Fengyun (wind cloud).

The three incarnations are now Taiyi Golden Immortals. Based on the origins they occupy, a Taiyi Golden Immortal can take human form once they reach perfection, and if their foundation is sufficient, they can take human form as Daluo.

For innate deities, transformation is also an opportunity to defy fate and change their destiny. If they have enough accumulation, they may be able to improve their own foundation.

Therefore, although Hongyun broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he was still in no hurry to transform into human form. He wanted to continue accumulating his foundation and make it as solid as possible.

Hongyun has high expectations for his incarnation, as can be seen from his main cultivation of the Great Dao. "Danqi Formation" is the specialty of the Three Pure Ones, but in the future, Hongyun may not necessarily be weaker than the Three Pure Ones.

In addition, the Three Pure Ones are skilled in alchemy, weapon crafting, and formations; the Supreme Pure One is skilled in alchemy; the Jade Pure One is skilled in weapon crafting; and the Upper Pure One is skilled in formations, but none of them attained enlightenment through alchemy, weapon crafting, or formations.

Although there are three thousand great paths, each leading to enlightenment, the differences can be vast depending on the path chosen.

The Way of Laws, which prioritizes the Laws over the Way, is also known as the Innate Way. It takes the laws of Heaven as its template. Early cultivation is easy, as it focuses on imitating the Heavenly Way. Later cultivation is difficult because those who learn from me will live, while those who imitate me will die.

Those who cultivate the laws of the Way and wish to attain the Primordial Chaos must obtain permission from the Heavenly Dao.

That's right, it's the Primordial Purple Qi.

The speed at which the laws of the Heavenly Dao evolve are much faster than those of cultivators who merely imitate the Heavenly Dao. Without the permission of the Heavenly Dao, it is almost impossible for anyone to attain enlightenment on this path.

The way of the acquired world is to follow the Way before the law. Taking the literary Way that Hongyun cultivates as an example, there are no literary laws in the primordial world, so Hongyun has nowhere to learn from or imitate.

As a path of acquired knowledge, the way of literature has been innovative from the very beginning, and every step has been fraught with difficulties.

Once this path is cleared, Hongyun will prove his Dao through literature, achieve sainthood through primordial chaos, and the laws of literature will be written into the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World. At that time, he will be the literary ancestor of the Primordial World, with a status equivalent to the immortal ancestor Hongjun and the demon ancestor Luohou.

The Dao of Alchemy, the Dao of Weapons, and the Dao of Array also have this potential, and the Three Pure Ones originally had the best chance of achieving enlightenment through this.

However, after Hongjun preached, they cultivated to sever the three corpses, became Hongjun's disciples, and obtained the Primordial Purple Qi. In order to become saints, they neglected the alchemy, weaponry, and array, and thus went astray on this path.

They could have become the Ancestors of Pills, Weapons, and Arrays, but in the end, they were forever inferior to Hongjun.

Instead, he quietly and discreetly guided others to the Buddhist path, eventually becoming the Buddha and being called a fellow Daoist by Hongjun.

This is Huo Yun and his group's chance. The Three Pure Ones may disdain the three paths of alchemy, weaponry, and array formation, but they won't. If you don't want the Ancestor of Alchemy, the Ancestor of Weapons, and the Ancestor of Array Formations, then they will take them.

Just as Hongyun was pondering, his clone suddenly transmitted a message to him, asking him to use the Wenyun Diagram for help. It turned out that the clone had apparently discovered an innate formation.

Good heavens, another opportunity to create a clone has come?

The clone only shared a portion of Hongyun's fortune, yet it has already acquired countless treasures.

Without hesitation, Hongyun focused his consciousness on his clone and began to comprehend the Wen Yun Diagram.

On the other side, where the clone was located.

Hongyun's clone stood on a mountain, looking southeast, where a volcano stood, its fiery heat making even breathing painful.

Hongyun's clone was already a Taiyi Golden Immortal, yet even he felt a burning pain when he breathed, which shows how concentrated the fire element was here, and this was not just due to the volcano.

"Literary and Taoist supernatural powers make one impervious to water and fire."

Hongyun used his supernatural power to become immune to water and fire. A blue and red spiral halo enveloped him, and he could breathe smoothly again, no longer experiencing that burning pain in his lungs.

Hongyun approached the volcano for observation and, with the help of the Wenyun Diagram, finally discovered the innate grand formation.

The innate grand formation was not located at the crater, but rather on the mountainside, in a valley that appeared unremarkable but was exceptionally rich in fire element.

At first, Hongyun didn't find anything strange, but after entering the valley, he discovered its mysteries.

This valley is located in the Bing Fire position of the volcano, where the fire energy is surging but not yet released, resembling a hidden dragon. All the fire elements emitted by the volcano converge here.

Hongyun discovered the problem with this place, and then used his divine sense to investigate. With the help of the power of the Wenyun Diagram, he finally discovered that there was indeed a primordial formation hidden in the valley.

Next, Hongyun began to comprehend the formation, and the Wenyun Diagram was fully activated, making the comprehension twice as effective with half the effort.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed. Hongyun comprehended this formation, which is called the Innate Bing Fire Formation.

The orientation is Bing Fire, and the formation is also Bing Fire, so it seems that the spiritual treasures or spiritual roots inside should be of the fire attribute.

"Let me see what's inside."

Hongyun walked directly into the great formation and saw a spirit root that was entirely crimson and had skin like dragon scales.
