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

"With the blessing of literary fortune, the azure sky breaks through!"

Hongyun roared, and the Ice Soul Sword flew out of his hand, transforming into a dazzling sword rainbow to meet the descending hoofprint.

The sword and hoofprint collided, unleashing a deafening roar. The shockwave dispersed the clouds over a radius of millions of miles, and mountain peaks collapsed one after another.

Blood flowed from Hongyun's seven orifices. His body was sent flying backward by the enormous recoil, crashing through mountain peaks before finally embedding itself in the rock face of a cliff.

At this moment, Hongyun's internal organs shifted, and more than a dozen bones in his body were broken, resulting in severe injuries.

However, the black tiger's hoofprints were also shattered by the sword rainbow, turning into countless black light spots that dissipated.

Xuanhu's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He did not expect that Hongyun would actually withstand his third move, especially when he had used only 15% of his strength.

At this moment, Xuanhu even began to doubt whether his attainment of the Great Luo Golden Immortal was genuine. He believed that even a trace of his power should have been enough to crush Taiyi, but he couldn't even defeat him with just 15% of his power.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Xuanhu said "good" three times, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. Regardless of Hongyun's cultivation level, his perseverance and courage deserved his respect.

"Your name is Hongyun, right? I'll remember you."

Xuanhu withdrew his imposing aura and said calmly, "I keep my word and never go back on my word."

"You've completed three moves; you may leave now."

Hongyun struggled out of the rock wall and clasped his hands in thanks to Xuanhu, saying, "Thank you for your mercy, senior."

Xuanhu waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me, you accepted it on your own merit."

"However, I must remind you that the Phoenix Clan, the Dragon Clan, and the Qilin Clan will not let this go."

"That sycamore tree is too important; the pursuit you face will only become more and more intense."

Hongyun nodded without saying anything more, then turned and flew towards Buzhou Mountain. His injuries were severe, and he needed to find a safe place to heal as soon as possible.

But he couldn't stay at Tiger Head Mountain for long. Although he didn't know why Xuanhu had let him go, if the Qilin Clan found out that he was here, they would definitely not let him go.

After Hongyun left, another figure appeared, and Xuanhu bowed to that figure.

"Old Ancestor White Tiger, that Taoist priest has left."

Baihu nodded and said with a smile, "Xuanhu, you did a good job. You did a very good job on this."

"Everything was guided by the Ancestor."

Xuanhu offered a flattering remark, then asked with a hint of doubt, "Ancestor, why did we let that Blood Cloud go?"

A glint of light flashed in Baihu's eyes as he recalled the scene he had witnessed while his mind was wandering through the void.

A pair of eyes, seen from downstream in the river of time, struck the very heart of the White Tiger Ancestor.

"Leave a favor for the tiger clan."

Xuanhu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. Wasn't that Taoist just a rogue cultivator of the Taiyi realm?

What good would a favor from a rogue cultivator of the Taiyi sect do? But Xuanhu dared not question what the ancestor had said.

The White Tiger Ancestor didn't explain. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk, but that he couldn't. Whenever he tried to open his mouth, he would feel uneasy, as if a strong sense of crisis would arise.

Hongyun flew for a whole day before finally leaving the Tiger Head Mountain Range. He found a secluded valley, dug a hole in it, and crawled inside.

The cave was small, only big enough for one person to sit cross-legged. Hongyun set up an array and began to heal his injuries.

His injuries were severe, with varying degrees of damage to his internal organs and more than a dozen broken bones.

If it weren't for his special physique and the protection of the Wen Yun Diagram, he would have died at the hands of Xuan Hu.

"This was truly a near-death experience!"

Hongyun smiled wryly, took out a Rejuvenation Pill, swallowed it, and began to circulate his internal energy to repair the injuries in his body.

The medicinal power of the elixir transformed into a warm current, flowing slowly through the body and repairing the damaged bones and internal organs.

Time passed day by day, and it took Hongyun seven whole years to heal her injuries before she finally recovered.

In the seven years that followed, the outside world had undergone tremendous changes, and the news of the birth of the phoenix tree spread like wildfire throughout the entire prehistoric world.

The Phoenix Clan, Dragon Clan, and Qilin Clan all dispatched numerous powerful individuals to search for Hongyun's whereabouts.

The Phoenix Clan's pursuit was the most ferocious, because the phoenix tree held the greatest significance for the Phoenix Clan's birds.

Yuan Feng personally ordered that whoever could reclaim the phoenix tree would be rewarded with the title of guest elder of the Phoenix Clan.

The Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan were not to be outdone, offering generous bounties, either for elders or resources.

In an instant, Hongyun became the most sought-after figure in the prehistoric world, and cultivators throughout the prehistoric world were searching for Hongyun to obtain the bounty promised by the three races.

Of course, this immense popularity was definitely not a good thing for Hongyun; on the contrary, it was a huge problem.

Hongyun's aura has already been released by the Phoenix Clan, and countless cultivators are searching for him based on it.

After recovering from his injuries, Hongyun emerged from the cave, took a deep breath, and sensed the surrounding atmosphere. He expanded his divine sense and quickly detected several powerful auras in the distance, searching in this direction.

"Damn it, not again..."

Hongyun shook his head helplessly, his figure transforming into a streak of light as he continued his escape towards Buzhou Mountain.

Mount Buzhou is imbued with the oppressive power of Pangu, making it a rare place for living beings, and even the territories of the three races cannot be invaded.

Hongyun had already made up her mind to go to Buzhou Mountain and find a place where the three clans' forces could not reach her to hide.

He will emerge again after the Dragon-Han Calamity ends, but he will have to go to Buzhou Mountain, which will cross the spheres of influence of the three races. This will undoubtedly be a journey with a slim chance of survival.

Year after year passed, and Hongyun flew over countless mountains and rivers, encountering hundreds of pursuits along the way.

On one occasion, several fire crows from the Phoenix Clan found him, but their cultivation level was not high, and they were easily killed by Hongyun.

Once, a dragon from the Dragon Clan, whose cultivation was comparable to Hongyun's, was killed by Hongyun after much effort using the Fire Cloud Banner.

Another time, it was a black Qilin from the Qilin clan, whose cultivation was a small realm higher than Hongyun's, being at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Hongyun did not engage in combat but fled.

Each chase was a test of his skills. Hongyun was like a sponge absorbing water; after each battle, his cultivation would inevitably improve.

Through countless battles, Hongyun not only persevered but also broke through to the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Although his magical power had only reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, Hongyun could sense that his primordial spirit was also nearing its limit and could break through to the peak of the Taiyi realm at any time.

However, his physical body didn't improve much. In order to escape the pursuit, Hongyun didn't even have time to refine pills. Relying solely on honing his physical body, the rate of improvement was too slow.

With his cultivation level improved, Hongyun's speed increased, and he was getting closer and closer to Buzhou Mountain.

During this process, several hundred Taiyi Golden Immortals were killed by Hongyun, including many peak Taiyi Golden Immortals. As for those below the Golden Immortal level, the number was countless.

A large number of cultivators were killed by Hongyun. He thought he could scare away others, but at this time, the great calamity was in full swing, and everyone was blinded by the calamity energy, rushing forward like madmen.

Countless rogue cultivators rushed into the territories of the three races in pursuit of Hongyun. Among them were many members of the three races who took advantage of the chaos, and the Western Demon Clan who also fueled the flames.

As a result, the conflict between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans escalated continuously. Sometimes, before Hongyun even saw him, they would already be fighting, giving Hongyun a good show to watch.
