System Restored

The Purple Heavens Palace is imbued with the flow of Dao Charm and shrouded in divine light.

Chu Feng took a step forward, and his figure appeared in front of the palace gate.

He gazed at the familiar dojo, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.

For some reason, today Purple Heavens Palace gave him an inexplicable sense of unease.

Chu Feng stopped thinking about it and stepped inside. In the center of the spacious hall, a stunningly beautiful figure sat quietly on a futon.

She wore a plain white Daoist robe, her long black hair cascading down like a waterfall. Her beauty was unparalleled, and her temperament was unfathomable, as if she were one with the entire universe.

"What do you want with me?" Chu Feng asked directly, his voice calm.

Hongjun slowly opened his eyes, and a complex emotion stirred within his indifferent gaze.

She didn't answer immediately, but just looked at Chu Feng quietly, "Can't I come to you if there's nothing wrong?"

After a long pause, she parted her lips slightly, her voice clear and cold, yet tinged with a hint of resentment.

Chu Feng's heart stirred.

Something's not right.

Hongjun and he had a very close relationship; how could he have ever acted like a little girl?

"You've been gone for so long, and you haven't come to the Purple Heavens Palace to see me."

Hongjun's tone grew increasingly resentful, like that of a wife who had been neglected for a long time.

Chu Feng's internal alarm bells rang, but his face remained calm. Instead, a playful smile appeared on his face as he probed, "What's wrong? Missing me? Jealous?"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun lowered his eyes as if in tacit agreement, his long eyelashes trembling slightly.

At this moment, Chu Feng's sense of unease reached its peak.

This is definitely not Hongjun!

However, before he could think it through, Hongjun suddenly stood up and walked towards him step by step.

"Cultivate with me."

She stood in front of Chu Feng and spoke in an authoritative tone that brooked no argument.

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, his mind racing.

He was almost certain that something was wrong with Hongjun in front of him.

However, the opponent's strength is unfathomable, and turning against them directly at this moment might not be a wise move.

He wanted to see what exactly was happening to Hongjun.

"Good."

Chu Feng readily agreed.

Upon hearing his answer, Hongjun stretched out her jade-like arm, grabbed Chu Feng's neck, roughly pulled him towards her, and pressed her fiery red lips directly onto his!

This kiss was full of aggression and possessiveness, wild and domineering, lacking any of Hongjun's usual coolness and indifference; it was more like a primal act of plunder.

Chu Feng sneered inwardly, but did not resist, letting the other party do as they pleased.

The Daoist principles of Yin and Yang circulated wildly between the two, transforming into streams of extremely pure energy that cleansed their Dao bodies.

The process of dual cultivation is far more intense than imagined.

After a long while, their lips parted.

The dual cultivation has ended.

A satisfied blush spread across Hongjun's face, and his breathing seemed even more harmonious.

Chu Feng's eyes sharpened as he quietly sensed the surging power within his body.

During the dual cultivation just now, the other party demanded far more than they gave, carrying an air of scrutiny and control.

Hongjun leaned lazily against Chu Feng, seemingly enjoying the tenderness of the moment.

However, Chu Feng slowly pushed her away, looked directly into her eyes, and said, word by word, "You are not Hongjun."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

"You are the Heavenly Dao, aren't you?"

Hongjun's languid expression froze instantly. "I am Hongjun."

"Oh."

Chu Feng let out a cold laugh, "Stop pretending. Hongjun wouldn't look at me like that, much less treat me in such a brutal way."

Though she appears aloof, she possesses a tender heart; you, on the other hand, offer only cold possession and domineering control.

"Hahaha... hahahahaha!"

A clear and melodious laugh echoed throughout the entire Purple Heavens Palace.

Hongjun straightened up, his expression completely changing, all pretense vanishing, replaced by an extreme majesty.

"As expected of an anomaly that even I cannot fathom."

Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao, spoke calmly, "You are right, I am the Heavenly Dao."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the entire Purple Heavens Palace froze, and an invisible pressure surged forth like a tide.

Chu Feng's expression remained unchanged; he was already prepared. He coldly asked, "What did you do to Hongjun?"

"She?"

The Heavenly Hongjun said indifferently, "I did nothing to her. She merged with the Dao with her body, and I merely temporarily took over her consciousness."

Chu Feng's eyes turned cold.

Suddenly, something occurred to him: could the changes in the Ancestral Dragon have also been related to the Heavenly Dao?

Aside from his debut, Chu Feng only faced pressure from the Ancestral Dragon, the Heavenly Dao, and the mysterious phantom in his early stages.

Now that his cultivation level far surpasses that of the Ancestral Dragon, and the mysterious phantom has been repelled by the Great Dao, Chu Feng began to suspect whether it was the work of the Heavenly Dao.

However, Chu Feng wasn't entirely confident, so he directly asked, "Back then, when the Ancestral Dragon suppressed me and then cultivated with me, wasn't that your doing?"

Chu Feng had pondered this answer for a long time, and now he realized that the suppressing force contained a trace of pressure that was extremely similar to what he was feeling at this moment.

Heavenly Dao Hongjun was not surprised at all and readily admitted, "It is I."

Goodness...

Or perhaps it was truly the work of Heaven.

Otherwise, why would Hongjun have called her a slut, the Heavenly Dao?

Damn it, if you want to cultivate with me, why don't you just tell me directly?

I'm not refusing, so why bother?

Chu Feng couldn't fathom the workings of the Heavenly Dao. Suddenly, his brows furrowed as he realized something. "Impossible! You and I are both at the Hunyuan Limitless Immortal Venerable Realm. Although you are the Heavenly Dao, you cannot possibly suppress me!"

That was before.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Tiandao Hongjun's lips. "Have you forgotten what you've been doing all these years?"

"You enabled Yuanfeng, Ancestral Dragon, First Qilin to break through and be spared the great calamity, and allowed the Twelve Ancestral Witches to give birth to primordial spirits."

Many beings in the Primordial World attained enlightenment ahead of schedule and broke through to higher realms because of you."

"Every time you help a Primordial World being become stronger, the origin of the Primordial World will grow stronger."

"And I, as the Primordial Heavenly Dao, will become stronger the stronger the world's origin."

"I am now the Hunyuan Limitless Saintly Venerable!"

The moment the words "Holy Venerable" were uttered, law came into play, and a terrifying pressure far surpassing that of the Hunyuan Limitless Immortal Venerable descended with a deafening roar!

Chu Feng's heart trembled violently, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!

I see!

Unexpectedly, the Way of Heaven was fed back to this extent by itself.

Just then, a cold, mechanical voice rang in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on your dual cultivation with the Primordial Heavenly Dao! The hidden condition has been met, and the system recovery progress has increased by 10%!"

"Current system recovery progress: 100%!"

"Ding, the system has been fully restored and is reloading the final module... Estimated loading time: three days."

Chu Feng was suddenly taken aback.

The system has been completely restored?

He thought that for the system to be fully restored, it would need to go through the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, or even the Journey to the West tribulation.

He forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, looked at the Heavenly Dao again, and asked in a deep voice, "Heavenly Dao, what exactly is your purpose?"

Heavenly Dao Hongjun gave him a deep look, then slowly spoke, "I... need your help..."
