Primordial Era: Me, starting with the Primordial Enlightenment Tree

Looking at the pitiful state of Jieyin and Zhunti, Tianci couldn't help but feel a sense of sincere admiration.

Judging solely from their superb acting skills, they are definitely top-tier actors. It's a real shame they don't perform on stage. Even the most outstanding actors in the mortal world would probably feel inferior and pale in comparison.

If he hadn't been a transmigrator who knew the whole story, he would have almost been fooled by them.

What's most astonishing is that their skin is thicker than the ancient city walls.

He cried out in front of all the ancient creatures in the hall, yet he didn't feel embarrassed or ashamed at all.

That's truly an unbeatable skill!

Tianci asked himself honestly, and he knew he could never have gone to such lengths.

There was a proverb that he always thought was extremely apt, and it couldn't be more fitting to describe the two of them at this moment.

That is: A tree without bark will surely die, and a person without shame will be invincible.

Jieyin and Zhunti continued to play the victim in the main hall of Zixiao Palace, tearfully recounting their story.

But is it really true that there are no seats left in this hall right now?

That's not actually the case; there are still two empty seats, just in a rather out-of-the-way location.

Tianci only needed to scan the area with his primordial spirit to discover that there were still two futons that were completely unoccupied.

Are they blind?

No, they just didn't want to sit there because they thought the location was too remote.

The stalemate continued.

A very, very long time passed.

Seeing that all the living beings in the room remained completely unmoved.

In the blink of an eye.

Jieyin's gaze fell directly on Hongyun.

He knew Hongyun, the famously kind-hearted man of the prehistoric world, all too well. A moment later, Jieyin and Zhunti's eyes flickered again, and they had already made a new plan in their hearts.

In the blink of an eye...

They had just declared that if they couldn't get close enough to hear the Great Dao of Hongjun, they might as well die here.

"Zhunti, my brother and I have such tragic fates; we might as well just die."

As soon as the guide finished speaking, he rammed himself straight into a towering jade pillar in the main hall.

"Brother!" Zhunti cried out in a broken voice.

Seeing Jieyin rush towards the jade pillar with a look of fearlessness, all the prehistoric creatures present couldn't help but secretly suppress their laughter.

"Heh, so you're finally resorting to this self-inflicted injury ruse, huh? Well then, it's Hongyun's turn to get up and offer you her seat!"

Tianci continued watching this wonderful drama with great interest.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, Hongyun stood up from the futon in front of him, sighed and said, "Alas... Daoist Jieyin, why do you have to demean yourself like this? Come, I will give you this position."

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, you mustn't!"

Zhen Yuanzi, standing behind Hongyun, shouted anxiously, but it was too late.

Just as the guide was about to collide with the jade pillar, the expression on his face instantly became incredibly interesting.

The self-inflicted injury ruse I staged has finally succeeded.

Immediately afterward, Jieyin's figure swayed violently, and he bowed deeply to Hongyun: "Thank you for your great kindness, fellow Daoist!"

Before Hongyun could make way, Jieyin plopped down on the prayer mat that originally belonged to Hongyun.

In that instant, all the primordial beings in the hall were dumbfounded.

Is Hongyun out of her mind?

You should know that these six prayer cushions in the very front row clearly contain an extraordinary opportunity, and you just casually gave them to this guy, the Guide?

What was he thinking?

Hongyun, a well-known kind-hearted person, actually gave up the sacred meditation cushion.

All the living beings in the hall stared at Hongyun in disbelief, as if they had misjudged her.

At the same time, they were filled with endless regret. If they had known that Hongyun would give up her position so easily, they would have stepped forward and staged this scene themselves.

But now, no matter how much I regret it, it's completely too late.

"It seems there was indeed something fishy about Hongyun giving up his seat. It really was Hongjun Daozu manipulating all of this behind the scenes!"

Seeing that Hongyun had so easily given up her position to Jieyin, Tianci couldn't help but ponder.

He had always felt that something was off about this whole thing, and now he was finally 100% certain that it was Hongjun Daozu who was secretly manipulating everything behind the scenes.

Just a moment ago, he suddenly sensed a completely different supreme aura that abruptly rushed into Hongyun's soul.

It was precisely because of the sudden appearance of that aura that Hongyun changed her mind and made the gesture of giving up her seat.

"Grandmaster Hongjun, you've certainly played your cards right!"

Otherwise, how could Hongyun have remained unmoved when Jieyin and Zhunti were crying so heartbreakingly?

Poor Hongyun!

Tianci sighed softly in his heart.

That's all. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him, so let Hongjun Daozu do whatever he wants! As long as he doesn't get his hands on it.

Moreover, if one does not have sufficient strength to resist the predetermined fate set by Heaven, then rashly intervening would be no different from courting death.

Just then, Jieyin, who had already snatched the position from Hongyun, glanced back at Zhunti beside him.

Immediately, their eyes met again, a cunning glint flashing in their gazes, clearly indicating a new scheme was brewing. Sure enough!

In the blink of an eye...

Jieyin and Zhunti both turned their gazes forward, landing on the five figures: the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and Kunpeng.

Well, the Three Pure Ones are the true descendants of Pangu's primordial spirit, and they are simply not to be trifled with.

Nuwa was a female immortal.

They couldn't bring themselves to scheme against him, and most importantly, they had just sensed a terrifying aura emanating from Tianci that made their very souls tremble, sending chills down their spines.

Therefore, they could not scheme against Nuwa, especially before they had figured out Tianci's background and strength.

Therefore, Nuwa has been completely excluded from their schemes.

Now, only Kunpeng remains as a target they can freely plot against.

Finally, the gazes of both Jieyin and Zhunti were fixed intently on Kunpeng.

Jieyin glanced at Kunpeng beside him, then lowered his voice and said, "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, my brother and I come from the barren west. We wonder if you would do us a favor and give us a place? We will repay you handsomely in the future."

"No, no, no, Fellow Daoist Jieyin, this is absolutely impossible. I am Kunpeng of the North Sea. I have come here to listen to the Dao, precisely to learn the Great Dao and enlighten the myriad beings of the North Sea. If I were to give up my place to you and not be able to listen to the true words of the Great Dao, then I would be ashamed before the billions of people of the North Sea."

Kunpeng waved to Jieyin repeatedly.

At the same time, he sneered inwardly, "Hmph, I'm not like that brainless pushover Hongyun, who would give up such a valuable position concerning the Holy Throne to you!"

When Jieyin and Zhunti heard Kunpeng's words, they were slightly stunned. They never expected that Kunpeng would use the name of the people of the North Sea to pressure them.

If that's the case, then all my previous attempts to play the victim would be completely useless!

That won't do at all!

Immediately, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged another glance and secretly discussed how to deal with the situation.

In a short while, their eyes lit up simultaneously.

They had already devised a plan to deal with Kunpeng and then snatch the prayer mat from him. However, this method would inevitably offend Kunpeng completely. But now that things had come to this, they couldn't care less about that. Getting the prayer mat into their hands was the most important thing.

Because they already had a vague premonition that the sermon by Hongjun Daozu was about to begin, they had no more time to waste.

In the blink of an eye...

Then Jieyin suddenly stood up, pointed at Kunpeng sitting on the futon beside him, and shouted sternly, "You creature born from moisture and hatched from an egg, covered in scales and armor, what right do you have to sit in the front row with us innate deities!"

Upon hearing this, the primordial beings within the Purple Cloud Palace were immediately enraged.

His words instantly offended most of the innate beings present.

Because at this moment, in this main hall of Zixiao Palace, even if there aren't a thousand creatures born from wet eggs and covered in scales and armor, there must be at least several hundred.

Even Nuwa, who created humans and became a saint, was indirectly insulted by these words!

But right now, in order to grab a seat on a front-row prayer mat as soon as possible...

The guide couldn't care less about anything else anymore...

As soon as the words of the guide fell, a living being suddenly stood up from the futon, his face filled with uncontrollable rage.

"Hmph, Jieyin, you're courting death!"

"After this sermon is over, I will definitely have a match with you to see who is better."

"So what if we are born from moisture and hatch from eggs, covered in scales and armor?"

"Do you think you're inherently superior to others?"

"You're nothing more than a golden lotus of merit in human form. Do you really think that just because of your origins, you can be so easily superior to us?"

"Well said!"

After Jieyin uttered those words, the entire Zixiao Palace instantly erupted into chaos.

Countless innate beings immediately began to curse loudly.

If this weren't the forbidden grounds of Hongjun Daozu's Zixiao Palace, they would definitely swarm forward and surround Jieyin to teach him a lesson.

The words Jieyin just said offended most of the cultivators present.

Seeing the chaotic scene before him, Tianci's amused expression deepened. It had to be said that Jieyin and Zhunti had truly gone to great lengths to compete for the front row prayer mats.

Just then, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Kunpeng's body. He pointed at Jieyin and shouted angrily, "After this sermon is over, I will be waiting for you outside Zixiao Palace. I will definitely fight you to the death."

However, facing Kunpeng's deafening roar, Jieyin remained unfazed and said, "We are primordial deities recognized by the true lineage of Pangu, with incomparably noble status. Kunpeng, you'd better obediently relinquish your position, Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, don't you agree?"

At this moment, the guide abruptly changed the subject, his gaze fixed on Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Ones.

He knew Yuanshi Tianzun's temperament and character very well. If he could win Yuanshi Tianzun over to his side, it would be much easier to take the position from Kunpeng.

After all, Yuanshi Tianzun is one of the Three Pure Ones, and a true descendant of Pangu! So when it comes to influence among the beings of the primordial world, there is absolutely no one in this hall who can compare to the Three Pure Ones.

This is precisely the key to the plan. As long as Yuanshi Tianzun is willing to stand up and say a fair word, then his plan will be more than half successful.

On the other side, after hearing Jieyin call his name, Yuanshi slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.

In fact, as early as when Yuanshi saw Kunpeng sitting on the fifth futon, he had already been harboring a lot of anger in his heart, but he had been holding back from expressing it.

It's simply because he utterly despises the Kunpeng from the bottom of his heart.

As for the obvious intentions of Jieyin and Zhunti to win him over and use him, how could he, as the true descendant of Pangu, not hear it? But he didn't care at all, because he truly loathed Kunpeng, a creature born from wet eggs and covered in scales and armor!

Although he also disliked Jieyin and Zhunti, he wouldn't mind being used by them for a little while compared to Kunpeng.

As everyone knows, in this primordial world, the Primordial Ones valued lineage the most and looked down on creatures born from moisture and eggs, covered in scales and armor.

Therefore, it is not surprising at all that the Primal Being held Kunpeng in contempt.

Moreover, before the Zixiao Palace was even opened, the Tongtian Sect Leader had already had an earth-shattering battle with Kunpeng.

The next moment, Yuanshi abruptly stood up from the futon, glancing at Kunpeng with disdain and saying with disgust, "Born from moisture and hatched from eggs, covered in scales and armor, I am ashamed to sit with you. Kunpeng, why don't you leave quickly? What are you waiting for?"

Yuanshi made no attempt to hide his disdain for Kunpeng; it was clearly written all over his face.

Upon hearing Yuanshi's words, Kunpeng's expression changed drastically, and his gaze turned gloomy.

This is blatant disrespect for him...

However, Yuanshi was the true descendant of Pangu and one of the Three Pure Ones.

Given his current cultivation level and strength, he is absolutely no match for the Three Pure Ones.

He was no match for Tongtian alone.

But he absolutely could not give up this position.

For a moment, Kunpeng's face turned extremely ugly, but he showed no intention of backing down and remained seated firmly on the futon.
