Analysis and Arrival

Hong Yi had a very clear understanding of his position in the Primordial Wilderness. It was not even for that "Nothingness," which was clearly several levels higher than that of the other Myriad Heavens Worlds, but for his Great Vow.

"All Beings Are Like Dragons, All Shall Reach The Other Shore!"

This was his Great Vow, and even more so, his path.

The newly born human race in the Primordial Wilderness was undoubtedly the best opportunity for him to put his own Dao into practice.

Ye Fan: "Be careful. We won't be able to help you."

Meng Qi: "It would be best to send an avatar, and sever its connection with your true body before gaining the Primordial Wilderness's recognition."

Ji Ning: "Does Dao Friend Hong Yi need an avatar technique? I am quite proficient in that area."

Hong Yi: "Thank you, everyone. I have already made my preparations."

Hong Yi's resolve was firm. Seeing this, the other Group Friends could only offer him some advice or support.

Fang Xun: "If you insist, it is not impossible. But you all said before that you had methods to gain the Primordial Wilderness's recognition. You can tell me now, right?"

Hong Yi: "First, there is you. Fang Xun, the fact that you were able to be born in the Primordial Wilderness proves that it is not forbidden ground for transmigrators."

Hong Yi: "Second, I am truly going there to teach. It will not only be me who benefits if the human race grows stronger."

Ye Fan: "A stronger human race is not the same as All Beings Are Like Dragons. Aside from Nuwa and Fang Xun, I fear no one in the Primordial Wilderness truly wishes for all beings to become like dragons."

Fang Xun: "I very much agree with that."

He had also seen Nuwa's hesitation when she had instructed him earlier. Humanity's future would not be a smooth road. Once the Purple Cloud Palace's lectures ended, the schemes and struggles of all sides against the human race would become extremely intense.

Hong Yi: "I do not need to make a Great Vow in the Primordial Wilderness again."

Fang Xun: "?!"

Meng Qi: "?"

For a moment, none of the Group Friends knew how to react. Fang Xun was somewhat bewildered.

Hong Yi: "My heart is fulfilled. Why would I need to make another vow?"

Hong Yi: "Besides, I really am going to be a schoolteacher. I have no intention of imitating The Two from the West."

Ah, this... Fang Xun's lips moved, but he said nothing.

He had always thought Hong Yi intended to improve his cultivation through making such a Great Vow.

As far as Fang Xun knew, "All Beings Are Like Dragons" came from the Book of Changes—not Hong Yi's Book of Changes, but the one Fang Xun knew from his previous life.

It contained the line: When a group of dragons appears without a leader, it is auspicious. It meant that among the dragons, there was no leader, yet everyone possessed the spiritual realm of a leader among dragons. Naturally, that was the greatest of good fortune.

The concept of "All Beings Are Like Dragons" originated from this. It was one of the Book of Changes' finest hopes for humanity.

If Hong Yi were to make a Great Vow in the Primordial Wilderness based on this, the Heavenly Dao Merit he received would certainly not be less than what The Two from the West had obtained. Even without Primordial Violet Qi, it would be enough to raise his cultivation to an unimaginable level.

Afterward, if he fed his insights back into his own world, he might truly be able to fulfill the supreme Great Vow of "All Beings Are Like Dragons, All Shall Reach The Other Shore," achieving a further transcendence in realm.

But Hong Yi apparently had no such intention?

Ye Fan: "Dao Friend, your virtue is saintly. I misunderstood you earlier."

Meng Qi: "As expected of Yi Zi."

Ji Ning: "Shameful, shameful."

Clearly, the other Group Friends had shared the same thoughts as Fang Xun.

Hong Yi: "It seems everyone thinks a little too highly of me..."

Hong Yi: "When I go to the Primordial Wilderness, I naturally will not return empty-handed either."

No one else said anything. Even a schoolteacher needed tuition fees!

Fang Xun: "Yi Zi, welcome to the Primordial Wilderness for a second career. But gaining the Primordial Wilderness's recognition does not seem so simple, does it?"

Hong Yi: "I may need your help."

Fang Xun: "...I am only a Taiyi Golden Immortal. This burden is too heavy for me."

Hong Yi: "It is the Myriad Heavens Chat Group Core."

Hong Yi: "The Chat Group Core on you can function normally in the Primordial Wilderness, such a high-level world. That means it has obtained some kind of permission. Otherwise, why would it take the form of a Chat Group familiar to you?"

Hong Yi: "I estimate that this may be related to your state of mind at the time. You feared the vastness of the Primordial Wilderness and wished for help, which was why the Chat Group appeared. Finally... I suspect it may be related to Pangu."

Fang Xun: "What is your basis?!"

This was the first time Fang Xun had had someone analyze his inner thoughts so deeply, and it made his scalp tingle.

But thinking back carefully, Hong Yi was actually right.

It had not been obvious when he had been a tree. He only needed to cultivate and look forward to Transformation. But after transforming, he had to face an incomparably dangerous Primordial Wilderness.

At that time, he had indeed felt fear. Then the Myriad Heavens Chat Group had appeared at just the right moment, bringing him four "familiar" Group Friends.

Those four Group Friends had helped him steady his mind and guided him forward based on his own "story."

Fang Xun suddenly felt both absurdity and relief.

Naturally, he had investigated the Myriad Heavens Chat Group Core and concluded that it was at least a special treasure on the level of an Innate Supreme Treasure. Yet at the same time, he had developed an obstruction of understanding and could see no further.

Hong Yi: "If you insist on a basis, there is half of one. In your story—your story—you did not possess the Chat Group Core. This is the true meaning of 'Nothingness.'"

Hong Yi: "And based on what you now know of the Primordial Wilderness, the only one who has obtained the true meaning of 'Nothingness' is Dao Ancestor Hongjun."

Hong Yi: "Let us assume Dao Ancestor knew of the Core's existence on you. If so, the fact that he did not erase this variable means there is also a certain chance that he will ignore my entry into the Primordial Wilderness."

Bringing Hong Yi, whose cultivation was comparable to Da Luo, into the Primordial Wilderness was entirely within Dao Ancestor Hongjun's control.

Hong Yi: "If Dao Ancestor does not know about the Core on you, then it may be connected to an existence of an even higher level."

Who in the Primordial Wilderness could surpass Heavenly Dao Hongjun other than Great God Pangu?

The odds of Great God Pangu ignoring Hong Yi's entry into the Primordial Wilderness were greater. At the very least, he would not bring down an axe.

Hong Yi: "There is roughly a seventy percent chance of success. An Opportunity for Enlightenment lies before me. That is enough for me to take this gamble."

The few people in the group all fell silent, each with their own thoughts.

Fang Xun: "If you insist, then for safety's sake, I will go into Chaos first."

Within Chaos, the Heavenly Dao was cut off and would not notice him immediately.

Fang Xun glanced at the human race, which had temporarily settled down amid the mountains and wilderness, then took out Penglai Immortal Island's Realm Bead and returned directly.

Penglai Immortal Island's will now stood alone beyond Chaos, truly becoming Nuwa's daily cultivation ground.

Fang Xun returned to Penglai Immortal Island. Sensing the Heavenly Dao's might receding into the distance, he took a deep breath and placed a Clay Figurine before himself.

Hong Yi: "I am ready."

Hong Yi: "Dao Friends, let me scout the way for you all."

Hong Yi: "I will trouble you, Fang Xun."

Fang Xun took a deep breath and gently stirred the Chat Group Core deep within his primordial spirit, activating "Descent."
