Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 79 Yun Zhongzi Attains Dao! (First Update, Please Subscribe)

Yun Zhongzi stood there dumbfounded. He had only come with Zhen Yuanzi to join in the fun and to witness the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Why would Jiang Heng want him to find a job in the Six Paths of Reincarnation? He is indeed a disciple of a sage, but what kind of job could there be in the Six Paths of Reincarnation?

Are they asking him to detain the wronged souls? Or to judge the sins committed by them? Or perhaps to send them on their way to reincarnation?

Every living being in the primordial world knows that there is great merit in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. If one has a job in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it is equivalent to having a continuous stream of merit.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't joke around. My cultivation is still shallow, and I have no relation to the witch clan in the Underworld. How could I possibly find a job there?"

Yun Zhongzi shook his head. He knew his own limitations and didn't think he could find a job in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Jiang Heng could easily find Yun Zhongzi a job in the Six Paths of Reincarnation with just a word.

This decision was made partly out of respect for Yun Zhongzi's previous incarnation, the Old Ancestor Hongyun, and partly because of Zhen Yuanzi.

For a veteran quasi-saint like Zhen Yuanzi, nothing else holds much appeal for him except becoming a saint.

Yun Zhongzi, however, is the reincarnation of Hongyun Laozu, a close friend of Zhen Yuanzi, and is someone Zhen Yuanzi cares about very much.

Jiang Heng offered Yun Zhongzi a favor, and Zhen Yuanzi had no choice but to accept it. In the long run, Zhen Yuanzi would be bound to the human race's war chariot.

The significance of a top-tier Quasi-Saint is considerable in the primordial world. For Jiang Heng, this investment is naturally quite worthwhile.

"Fellow Daoist, please look. The six realms of reincarnation are filled with vengeful souls filled with sins. Only by enduring hardships in the eighteen levels of hell can they wash away their sins."

"Some wronged souls are indeed unforgivable, but some wronged souls are influenced by evil energy and are tainted by sins that they did not want to be!" Jiang Heng said slowly.

Yun Zhongzi looked closely and saw that it was indeed as Jiang Heng had said. The wronged souls who entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation all carried sins to some extent.

Now is the time of the Great Calamity of the Lich King, and the world is filled with malevolent energy. Before entering the cycle of reincarnation, the wronged souls of many who died unjustly will be tainted by this malevolent energy and thus be burdened with sins.

"Many of these wronged souls are indeed innocent, but resolving this matter will likely not be easy!" Yun Zhongzi sighed.

"Fellow Daoist, you are a disciple of the Primordial Sage, so you should know the methods for liberating the souls of the dead. If you silently recite scriptures within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, you will surely be able to help countless wronged souls wash away their sins!"

I was born into the human race, and my cultivation methods were learned from the teachings of the Sage Taiqing. I am not very skilled in the methods of liberating the souls of the dead.

"That's why I asked you to find a job in the underworld, so that you could help countless wronged souls find peace. This is a great act of merit!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

This is the great merit that Jiang Heng bestowed upon Yun Zhongzi. As long as the matter is accomplished, with the merit of the Six Paths of Reincarnation bestowed upon him, it is only a matter of time before Yun Zhongzi becomes a Quasi-Saint.

Doesn't the Western religion want to devise a system of reincarnation in the six realms? And didn't Ksitigarbha make the great vow, "I will not become a Buddha until hell is emptied"?

Jiang Heng simply gave this great act of merit to Yun Zhongzi, completely severing any thoughts of Ksitigarbha and the Western Sect. Jiang Heng wanted to see what other tricks the Western Sect could come up with.

Moreover, Yun Zhongzi is, after all, a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun. Would Yuanshi Tianzun turn a blind eye to such a great merit?

If the Western Sect were to attempt to establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation again, it would not only be facing the Supreme Saint, but also possibly the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

"This? Fellow Daoist, how can you accept this? Such great merit is beyond my ability!"

Yun Zhongzi was naturally tempted. The immense merit was right in front of him, practically guaranteeing him entry into the Quasi-Saint realm. How could he not be tempted?

But Yun Zhongzi, as expected of the reincarnation of the Red Cloud Ancestor, still retained a trace of his kind-hearted nature from his previous life. Faced with such a great temptation, he still hesitated.

"Fellow Daoist, please do not refuse. This matter cannot be left to you alone! If you have any concerns, you may do your utmost to protect the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the future!"

"As long as this land of six paths of reincarnation remains peaceful, it will be an immeasurable merit for the entire primordial world!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

Yun Zhongzi wanted to continue declining, but after Jiang Heng's repeated persuasion, he finally had no choice but to agree.

Jiang Heng discussed the matter in detail with Yun Zhongzi, and they finalized Yun Zhongzi's future duties in the underworld.

Then, under Jiang Heng's guidance, Yun Zhongzi took a step and arrived in the air of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

"Today, I was moved by my visit to the Six Realms of Reincarnation. I cannot bear to see the countless wronged souls burdened by sins. Therefore, I will recite scriptures in the Six Realms of Reincarnation to deliver the souls of the dead."

"I will do everything in my power to help millions of wronged souls cleanse themselves of their sins, and may Heaven bear witness!" Yun Zhongzi said loudly.

After saying this, Yun Zhongzi sat cross-legged above the Six Paths of Reincarnation and began to silently recite scriptures for deliverance, such as "The True Scripture of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable on Attaining the Dao and Being Born in Heaven."

As the chanting of sutras resounded throughout the six realms of reincarnation, profound Taoist principles began to envelop the bodies of countless wronged souls.

In just a moment, wisps of black energy rose from the bodies of countless wronged souls and then dissipated.

With their sins washed away, the wronged souls no longer needed to endure the eighteen levels of hell to be reborn. Countless wronged souls knelt on the ground, thanking Yun Zhongzi for his grace in delivering them from suffering.

"Boom!"

Heaven, sensing this, bestowed boundless merit directly upon Yun Zhongzi, causing his cultivation to rise steadily.

In just a short while, Yun Zhongzi, who had not yet reached the Golden Immortal realm, had already reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Although he is a Great Golden Immortal, as long as Yun Zhongzi can cultivate in the underworld for tens of thousands of years and continuously convert wronged souls, reaching the Quasi-Saint realm is not difficult.

If Yun Zhongzi can reach the Quasi-Saint realm, becoming the Emperor of Fengdu is not entirely impossible.

Jiang Heng nodded in satisfaction. In the original historical trajectory, there was a reason why Ksitigarbha of the Western Sect was able to become the Ksitigarbha King.

There is a lack of a place for the salvation of wronged souls in the six realms of reincarnation, and this is precisely why Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of the Western Paradise was able to attain enlightenment.

Now that Yun Zhongzi has taken over the position of performing rituals to deliver wronged souls, it has become extremely difficult for the Western Sect to find another opportunity to plan the cycle of reincarnation.

Having given the favor and also sabotaged the Western Sect's plan for the Six Paths of Reincarnation, how could Jiang Heng not be satisfied?

Enveloped in boundless merit, Yun Zhongzi closed his eyes, and a look of enlightenment slowly appeared on his face.

"Having just awakened from a great dream, I realize that a thousand years have passed in the world! I am deeply grateful to my fellow Daoist for granting me this opportunity to attain enlightenment!"

After a while, Yun Zhongzi opened his eyes, bowed to Jiang Heng, and said with infinite gratitude.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Hongyun, on remembering your past and present lives! Congratulations!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

Jiang Heng could naturally see that, with the help of boundless merit, Yun Zhongzi's cultivation level was raised to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and he also awakened his memories of his past life.

"Red Cloud is a thing of the past, let's not mention it again. From this day forward, I am Yun Zhongzi!" Yun Zhongzi said with a hint of melancholy.

The Old Ancestor Hongyun perished in his tribulation, and only after enduring hardships was he able to be reborn. In this life, he was able to attain enlightenment again, which can be considered as the end of suffering and the beginning of happiness.

From this day forward, Yun Zhongzi will be blessed with the merits of the six realms of reincarnation, ensuring his continued good fortune and freedom from any further misfortunes.

Yun Zhongzi was naturally quite grateful to Jiang Heng. In his previous life, as the Hongyun Ancestor, he was forced to self-destruct by the demon master Kunpeng and the Styx Master.

If it weren't for Jiang Heng, the Old Ancestor Hongyun didn't know if he would have had the chance to reincarnate again. Now, it is with Jiang Heng's help that he has been able to attain enlightenment once more.

Whether it was the grace of saving his life or the grace of attaining enlightenment, it was a grace greater than the heavens for Yun Zhongzi, so how could he not remember it in his heart?

Yun Zhongzi quickly composed himself and once again silently recited scriptures in the cycle of reincarnation to help countless wronged souls find peace.

After some time, Zhen Yuanzi returned from the Netherworld Blood Sea and was overjoyed to see Yun Zhongzi's current state.

Zhen Yuanzi made many efforts to help Yun Zhongzi recall his past and present lives, but unfortunately Yun Zhongzi's cultivation level was still too low.

Now, with Jiang Heng's help, Yun Zhongzi has finally awakened his memories of his past life. Upon seeing his old friend again, he naturally has many feelings to share.

Zhen Yuanzi was also very grateful to Jiang Heng, and all his words of gratitude were reduced to a deep bow to Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng had no doubt that if the human race were to face any difficulties in the future, Zhen Yuanzi and Yun Zhongzi would come to their aid without hesitation, with just a word.

With the matter of the Six Paths of Reincarnation temporarily resolved, Jiang Heng did not linger there but quickly returned to the human race.

In fact, Jiang Heng had considered leaving this great merit within the Six Paths of Reincarnation to a powerful member of the human race.

Whether it's the Cangwen clan or the Ziyi clan, as long as they can obtain such enormous merit, reaching the quasi-saint realm will be no problem at all.

But after much deliberation, Jiang Heng decided to give up this readily available opportunity. The reason was simple: doing so would be too conspicuous.

Even with a powerful figure like Jiang Heng, the human race today is still considered weak by countless prehistoric creatures.

If the human race were to obtain the boundless merit within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it would surely attract the attention of countless beings in the primordial world.

With the Lich War about to begin, the human race must keep a low profile and try not to cause any major disturbances.

Moreover, as long as he has enough luck points, Jiang Heng can exchange for divine medicine in the system shop to help Cangwen and Ziyi complete their breakthroughs.

After careful consideration, Jiang Heng gave this merit from the Six Paths of Reincarnation to Yun Zhongzi, which can be considered to make the best use of it.

After returning to the human race, Jiang Heng went into complete seclusion, and the human race once again became unknown in the primordial world.

Not only the human race, but the entire primordial world fell into an eerie calm. Beneath this calm, the atmosphere of the primordial world grew increasingly heavy.

A storm is brewing! Countless prehistoric creatures with foresight already knew things were going badly and began to shut their doors to visitors.

And so, a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye, until this day.
