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

On Mount Buzhou, within the Nine Heavens Dipper Layer, the Nine Heavens Dipper Wind howls, filling the area with endless gale-force winds.

Gusts of devastating wind blew toward the red clouds, as if to destroy them.

The crimson cloud body radiated divine light, enduring the fierce winds that blew against it, tempering its body, and persevering through the pain to continue climbing upwards.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The higher one goes, the stronger the destructive power contained in the gale becomes, forcing Hongyun to unleash his full power of profound energy.

Besides using the Nine Heavens Gale to temper his body, Hongyun also searches for treasures in the Nine Heavens Gale Layer, where, in addition to the violent gales, rare and precious materials occasionally form.

Hongyun collected all these rare and precious materials; they were all top-grade materials.

As Hongyun traversed the Nine Heavens Gang Layers, her expression suddenly shifted, and she vaguely sensed something.

"Could it be that destiny is calling me here?"

Thinking of this, Hongyun felt invigorated and immediately headed towards the place that had given him the feeling.

Under the onslaught of the Nine Heavens Gale, Hongyun arrived at a valley in Buzhou Mountain. Despite being in the Nine Heavens Gale Layer, there was no sign of the Gale blowing here.

Moreover, Hongyun could sense that the valley contained a rich elemental force of wind.

"Haha, as expected, there's an innate formation!"

Hongyun used his divine sense to perceive and indeed discovered a trace of array fluctuations hidden in the valley.

Next, instead of breaking through the formation directly, Hongyun began to comprehend the formation by using the Wenyun Diagram.

After a thousand years, Hongyun finally comprehended this innate grand formation. This formation is the Innate Xun Wind Grand Formation, and it seems that the spiritual treasures inside are related to the wind attribute.

A hint of excitement appeared in Hongyun's eyes. Then, she stepped into the formation, a world of wind where all kinds of winds evolved.

This place seems to belong to the kingdom of wind, where countless wind spirits dance. As far as the eye can see, the winds of the heavens, the winds of the sun god, and the winds of the netherworld are all evolving within it.

Hongyun's path is the Way of Literature, but his understanding of the Four Symbols is also quite profound, with wind being one of the Four Symbols.

As Hongyun absorbed and refined the power of the wind element, she walked towards the core of the array space.

Soon, Hongyun arrived at the core of the formation, and his gaze was immediately drawn to a dark green divine tree.

It was a paulownia tree that looked like it had been in a previous life, with flowers blooming like trumpets.

Hongyun's primordial spirit sensed the Heavenly Dao and learned the name of the Wind Chime Tree: "Wind Chime Tree, a superior-grade innate spiritual root!"

The Wind Chime Tree is no less superior than the Money Tree of Water Cloud and the Wutong Tree of Fire Cloud; both are top-grade spiritual roots.

However, unlike the money tree and the sycamore tree, the fruit of the bell tree cannot be eaten directly.

The bell tree takes three thousand years to bloom, three thousand years to bear fruit, and another three thousand years to mature. There is no limit to the number of flowers and fruits it produces; it depends on the energy it absorbs.

The flowers of the bell tree can be used to make magical artifacts, and its fruit (seeds) can be used to make elixirs.

The flowers of the bell tree, in particular, are especially effective in crafting magical artifacts because their shape resembles bells, chimes, suonas, and trumpets.

Hongyun casually plucked a flower and discovered that the bellflower contained the principles of wind, making it a natural treasure.

Recalling the previous situation with Shuiyun and Huoyun, Hongyun contacted Shuiyun, "Fengyun, can you sense anything?"

"My lord, this wind chime tree is connected to me."

The divine thoughts of Fengyun emanated from the Boundless Cloud Cloth.

A glint of certainty flashed in Hongyun's eyes. She took out the Boundless Cloud Handkerchief, and Fengyun emerged from it.

Fengyun is portrayed as a dashing young man, dressed in a light green Taoist robe, with an elegant demeanor.

Because he hadn't taken human form, Fengyun's figure was somewhat ethereal, which added to his agility.

"Fengyun greets this venerable one!"

Hongyun nodded and asked, "Fellow Daoist Fengyun, are you sure you have a connection with this wind chime tree?"

Feng Yun looked at the wind chime tree and said, "That's right. The moment I saw the wind chime tree, I sensed that this spiritual root could enhance my accumulation of origin."

Hongyun nodded and said, "Fengyun, since this wind chime tree is useful to you, you can take it!"

"Thank you for your support!"

Fengyun nodded, stepped forward, and entered the wind chime tree, harmonizing with the dragon and tiger, achieving yin and yang harmony, and circulating the primordial power between the two.

Seeing the changes in Fengyun, Hongyun shook her head and collected some of the bellflowers and fruits from the bell tree.

It would take a long time for Fengyun and the Wind Chime Tree to harmonize the dragon and tiger, so Hongyun thought for a while and decided to practice weapon crafting.

The wind chime flower embodies the principles of wind, a natural embryo for a magical treasure, and Hongyun wants to try refining it.

Hongyun took out a precious cauldron, and the Samadhi True Fire rose inside. A wind chime flower fell into the cauldron.

Using wind chime flowers as the main material for crafting, and adding various divine metals and rare materials, after three thousand years of refining, Hongyun finally crafted a bell-shaped magic weapon.

Hongyun slapped the refining cauldron, and with a bang, the lid opened, and a cyan spiritual treasure flew out.

"Haha, a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, capable of harnessing the power of wind, then let's call you the Xun Wind Chime!"

Looking at the Xun Wind Chime in his hand, Hongyun's eyes revealed satisfaction. This Wind Chime Flower truly lived up to its reputation as a potential magic weapon. This was the easiest time he had ever refined a spiritual treasure.

Just then, the wind chime tree behind Hongyun suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura.

Hongyun turned around and looked at the wind chime tree behind her.

Feng Yun emerged from the wind chime tree, but his cultivation had already broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level before he took human form.

"I have fulfilled my mission!"

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Fengyun."

Feng Yun smiled and nodded, then looked up at the sky. A series of booming sounds came as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged forth.

The next moment, celestial music began to play.

This sound is mysterious and profound, a melodious and ethereal sound, carrying a noble and majestic quality, and is truly beautiful.

"Haha, I'm going to transform into human form too."

Suddenly, Fengyun leaped into the sky.

At the summit of the heavens, the winds and clouds swirled, and spiritual energy gathered into a storm, involuntarily converging upon them.

A surge of spiritual energy, a myriad of rosy clouds, auspicious clouds, and golden flowers blooming everywhere—it was as if heaven and earth were celebrating for him.

Boundless spiritual energy poured into Fengyun's body, and beams of creative light descended from the sky. Hongyun felt as if he were bathed in a spring breeze, and waves of comfort emanated from his body.

The spiritual energy converged even more frantically.

At this moment, a ball of nine-colored light descended, transforming Fengyun's body; this phenomenon lasted for over a thousand years.

As the light faded, a dashing young man with disheveled hair stood in the void.

An overwhelming pressure rose from Feng Yun's body, his aura as an early-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal soaring into the sky.

"In this vast and boundless world, I am the force of wind and clouds!"

Fengyun's breakthrough to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm was an unexpected joy. After Fengyun completed his transformation, Hongyun asked him if he wanted to climb the mountain with him, but Fengyun thought about it and declined.

"Strictly speaking, I came here by chance. Once I leave this place, I will inevitably face the pressure of Pangu, and I may not be able to withstand it."

Hongyun nodded. He had climbed up the mountain step by step, so he was already used to Pangu's pressure, but Fengyun was not, and might be seriously injured.

Finally, Fengyun decided to stay in the valley to cultivate. It was located in the Nine Heavens Gang Layer, where the laws of wind converged, which would definitely benefit his cultivation.

Once Fengyun's strength has increased further, he can try to enter the Nine Heavens Gang Layer and explore around Buzhou Mountain; perhaps there will be other opportunities there.
