Hongjun was bewildered. When she had first met Chu Feng, he had merely been a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, with no noteworthy foundation to speak of, aside from his somewhat stronger Yang attribute law.
Yet now, Chu Feng's cultivation had suddenly risen to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. He was even a Thirty-six petal Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and had obtained the foundation of a Primary Innate God-Demon.
To Hongjun, everything about Chu Feng was utterly inconceivable, leaving her greatly astonished.
Chu Feng scratched his head and said with a grin, "If I told you I had cheats, would you believe me?"
Hongjun pursed her lips and glared at him irritably. "If you don't wish to tell me, then I won't ask further. Why must you make fun of me?"
Chu Feng merely chuckled foolishly without saying more. He did not want to answer Hongjun's question directly.
Besides, he was confused himself. After binding with the system, it had said it had done something earth-shattering.
However, Chu Feng had no idea exactly what earth-shattering deed the system had done.
Chu Feng even suspected that the system had turned all the mighty experts of the Primordial World into women.
But after thinking about it, Chu Feng felt that was unlikely. What kind of system would be bored enough to do something like that?
Just then, Hongjun's expression turned serious. "The Primordial World originally had no male living beings. Where did you come from? When you took form, did you possess any ancient memories?"
Chu Feng shook his head, indicating that he had no ancient memories.
He was deeply puzzled himself and did not know what was happening. The system had fallen dormant, so he had no way to ask it.
Hongjun sighed softly and nodded slightly. "You have great potential. I think highly of you."
She blinked her large, watery eyes and cast Chu Feng a flirtatious glance...
"Oh, is that so? Senior, then can you give me some rewards?" Chu Feng wore a wicked grin as his gaze wandered over Hongjun's body.
"Hmph, in your dreams."
She gave a light laugh. "However, if you can break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm within a million years, I may consider it."
"Hehe, does that mean you're tacitly agreeing, Senior?"
At that point, Chu Feng changed the subject. "Actually, if the two of us became Dao Companions now and brought about the first marriage in the Primordial World, we would also receive Heavenly Dao Merit. By then, perhaps you could use that Heavenly Dao Merit to advance your cultivation even further."
Upon hearing Chu Feng's words, Hongjun fell into deep thought. She immediately formed hand seals and deduced the Heavenly secrets.
Before long, her expression changed. According to her deduction, bringing about the first Heavenly Marriage in the Primordial World would indeed bring merit.
However, the Heavenly Dao suddenly issued her a warning: she could not accomplish this with Chu Feng.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Seeing that Hongjun looked unwell, Chu Feng walked over, seized her hand, and casually wrapped an arm around her slender waist as he asked.
"It's nothing. We can discuss this later."
Hongjun spoke calmly, yet unusually, she did not push him away.
"You are now a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and with thirty-six petals blooming, you barely possess the strength to protect yourself. You may venture out and gain experience."
Hearing Hongjun say this, Chu Feng nodded in agreement. "That was exactly my intention. I've been cultivating on this island the whole time, and I'm getting bored. Besides, I want to try stopping the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans War."
"Mm, proceed carefully. There are things one should do and things one should not. The Heavenly Dao moves in cycles, and karma never errs. Follow it, and fortune will come."
After leaving those words behind, Hongjun moved and departed.
In the void.
Hongjun's expression shifted slightly as she patted her chest. "Strange, why do I feel something unusual?"
She shook her head and stopped dwelling on it. She had just received guidance from the Heavenly Dao: killing Luohu was her Opportunity to become a Saint, and she needed to make preparations.
Hongjun's feelings were complicated now. She knew that Chu Feng wanted to stop the War of the Three Clans, and that it might affect her path to becoming a Saint.
Yet Chu Feng was the first male in the Primordial World, and his origins were mysterious. She did not know what might happen in the future.
In an instant, countless thoughts arose in her mind. In the end, she decided to let Chu Feng handle the matter himself.
Luohu, on the other hand, did not have so many tangled thoughts. She was a Career Queen and only wanted to focus on her ambitions, to Prove Dao through killing.
"Strange, why do I feel as though I'm about to lose something?"
While cultivating, Luohu suddenly opened her eyes.
"I wonder how that kid is doing." Luohu suddenly thought of Chu Feng, then laughed at herself and stopped thinking about it.
She was preparing to fully scheme for the calamity. Although Chu Feng was interesting, compared to the great matter of her proving Dao, he was only a trivial concern.
Meanwhile, Ancestral Dragon decided to once again demand the Sacred Artifact from the Phoenix Clan.
She then sent a group of envoys to the Phoenix Clan, claiming that they had evidence the Phoenix Clan had hidden the Dragon Clan's Sacred Artifact and hoping they would return it.
After hearing this, Yuanfeng directly shook her head. "We have never stolen your Dragon Clan's Sacred Artifact. Don't make baseless accusations."
The Dragon Clan envoy's expression darkened. "Whether it's here or not, we'll know after searching."
Yuanfeng trembled with anger and sneered. "Do you take our Phoenix Clan for a place you can enter and leave whenever you please?"
The two sides disagreed after only a few words, and the atmosphere immediately became tense. They were on the verge of fighting.
At that moment, the Great Elder stepped forward to stop them. "Don't act rashly yet. The matter hasn't been investigated clearly. Fighting will benefit no one."
She urged Yuanfeng to calm down. The Dragon Clan's sudden arrival might have some other reason behind it.
Yuanfeng's expression fluctuated as her emotions surged. "Hmph, I think they're deliberately picking a fight! Do they really think our Phoenix Clan is so easy to bully?"
The Great Elder wanted to say more, but she was interrupted by a commotion among the crowd.
"The Dragon Clan didn't come for the Sacred Artifact at all. They came to wipe out our Phoenix Clan."
Words like these grew more and more outrageous as they spread, and every member of the Phoenix Clan became red-eyed with fury.
In truth, these rumors had been spread by spies planted by Luohu.
They had infiltrated the Phoenix Clan for quite some time, always waiting for a suitable opportunity.
Now that the time had come, they emerged at just the right moment to stir up trouble.
Yuanfeng grew even angrier, her chest heaving with rage as she gave the order on the spot. "Drive them out!"
The Dragon Clan envoys refused to back down, and the two sides finally came to blows, descending into chaos...
After cultivating for three hundred years, Chu Feng left Hongjun's Dao Field. He wandered about aimlessly and inadvertently arrived at an Immortal Mountain.
As he was taking in the scenery, he suddenly heard people arguing ahead.
One wore a dark hemp dress, with a beast-bone hairpin in her hair and a jade pendant at her waist. Her skin was as white as snow, delicate and smooth, while her eyes were clear and bright and her nose elegantly straight.
The other was dressed more lightly in a plain-colored long dress, with her hair draped over her shoulders. Her features were exquisite, her eyes lively, and her fair skin like jade, naturally carrying a divine radiance.
As Chu Feng approached, he saw that they were fighting over an Immortal Fruit.
The woman in the plain dress stood with her hands on her hips, her face flushed red with anger. "I saw this fruit first, so of course it belongs to me!"
The other woman refused to yield, shouting at the top of her lungs, "I was clearly the first one to touch it! Why should I give it to you?"
The two were arguing heatedly when they finally noticed there was someone nearby watching the show.
After noticing Chu Feng, the woman in the plain dress turned and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what brings you here? And how should we address you?"
