Seeing Zhenyuanzi Again

Previously, Hong Yun genuinely protected him, and this time, Cihang is also genuinely plotting for Hong Yun's benefit.

I hope Hong Yun will have a better future.

"Fellow Daoist, your soul has not yet fully recovered, so there's no rush to make a choice. You can take this time to think it over."

Seeing that Hong Yun was clearly hesitant, Cihang did not rush him to make a choice.

It's perfectly normal to hesitate when it comes to matters concerning the future.

"I am indeed finding it difficult to make a decision right now and need to think about it carefully."

Given my current condition, I am unable to leave, and I will have to trouble you for a while longer!

Hong Yun felt both gratitude and guilt towards Cihang.

He was grateful to Cihang for saving him under such circumstances, and felt guilty for causing Cihang trouble.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to overthink it. You helped me a great deal back then."

Why are you being so polite, fellow Daoist!

Fellow Daoist, you can simply stay here and cultivate from now on.

Cihang didn't say much more to Hong Yun, but led Hong Yun into a side hall so that Hong Yun could focus on recovering.

At the same time, Cihang also sent a message to Zhenyuanzi, informing him of Hong Yun's situation.

Informing Zhenyuanzi in time will also save him from further worry and self-blame.

After handling everything, Cihang began to focus on the power of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Because of the oath made to the Heavenly Dao, Minghe did not leave any hidden traps in the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Cihang easily completed the initial recognition of the Lord.

Although he was not the destined master of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, he was the Transform into Human Form of the White Lotus.

The shared origins allowed him to achieve twice the results with half the effort in refining the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Next, you just need to refine it slowly, and you will be able to use it freely.

Just as Cihang finished refining several restrictions, Zhenyuanzi hurriedly arrived at the Glazed Immortal Realm.

It's clear that there was absolutely no delay.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, is Hong Yun really alright?"

Upon seeing Cihang, Zhenyuanzi immediately inquired about her.

"It was too late when I made my move; I couldn't completely protect Fellow Daoist Hongyun."

As a result, Fellow Daoist Hongyun is now only left with a remnant of his true spirit; his physical body and origin have been completely shattered!

Cihang still felt somewhat regretful about this.

"This is already quite remarkable."

Compared to you, fellow Daoist, I am the most derelict in my duty.

I clearly promised to protect Hong Yun forever, but I never expected that such an accident would happen during my seclusion!

Upon confirming that Hong Yun had not completely perished, Zhenyuanzi felt both joy and deep guilt and self-reproach.

"Hong Yun's fate was already sealed, and neither you nor I can stop it."

Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Hongyun did not perish completely.

He wouldn't want to see his fellow Daoist like this either!

Cihang knew very well that Zhenyuanzi valued Hong Yun even more than he did.

This ordeal with Hong Yun has become his biggest regret.

"How is Hong Yun doing now?"

Zhenyuanzi knew that Hong Yun wouldn't blame him, but he was blaming himself.

But none of that mattered; he was more concerned about Hong Yun's current situation.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun is recovering in the side hall. Why don't you go and see for yourself?"

Cihang did not disturb the two, but left the time to them.

Even among close friends, there are differences in closeness and distance.

Cihang herself didn't contribute as much as Zhenyuanzi, so naturally she wouldn't care about these things.

All he needed to know was that Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun were genuinely friends with him.

Unexpectedly, the two did not talk for very long.

The two then entered the Temple of Life together.

Nourished by the Life Divine Fluid, Hong Yun's true soul has been fully restored.

Although he still lacked cultivation, the danger of his life fading away at any moment was gone.

Upon entering the main hall, the two bowed in gratitude to Cihang once again.

Zhenyuanzi was filled with gratitude.

"You two fellow Daoists have always been so polite, but you haven't regarded Cihang as a close friend."

This time, it was Fellow Daoist Hongyun encountered calamity.

I believe that if I were in danger, my two fellow Daoists would not stand idly by!

So please, you two, don't stand on ceremony with me any longer!

After Cihang's explanation, Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun finally relaxed.

Their friendship with Cihang was genuine.

As Cihang said, there is indeed no need for such politeness between us.

Instead of constantly saying thank you, it's better to keep it in your heart.

The future is long, and there will always be a time to repay this Karma and effect.

"Now that your soul has recovered, fellow Daoist, it's time to make plans for your renewed cultivation. Have you made your choice?"

Cihang then looked at Hong Yun.

He had thought it would take Hong Yun some time to recover, but the restorative power of the Life Divine Fluid exceeded his expectations.

"I have made my choice; I intend to restore my innate Hong Yun origin."

Hong Yun said with a firm expression.

He had discussed this matter with Zhenyuanzi before.

The three options Cihang offered were all undoubtedly very suitable for Hong Yun.

But he also knew that it would require an enormous amount of resources.

Hong Yun really didn't want to trouble Cihang too much.

"Fellow Daoist, are you really sure you want to do this?"

Compared to refining the original essence, the other three options are undoubtedly easier and have no hidden dangers.

If you're worried about those resources, there's absolutely no need. They mean nothing to me.

Hong Yun was somewhat surprised to hear Hong Yun choice.

Given Hong Yun's current situation, it would be extremely difficult for it to re-condense its original essence.

Reuniting with one's original essence is indeed possible, but it's difficult to return to one's peak state.

Hong Yun has already failed once, and rebuilding it will inevitably face significant challenges.

Rather than that, it's better to take another path.

By refining past wisdom and achievements, a different outcome should be achieved.

"I do have concerns in this regard, but it's mostly because I can't let go of my original self."

Moreover, before I self-destructed, I left behind a trace of my primordial power at Wuzhuang Temple.

With this as a guide, it will be easier to reunite with our original source!

Hong Yun began to explain.

He had already made considerable preparations before deciding to risk his life in the robbery.

One of them is one's own Innate Origin.

"It's good that you're prepared, fellow Daoist. Then I'll give you three drops of the Life Divine Fluid."

With this Life Divine Fluid present, the condensation of the origin can be accelerated!

Having Innate Origin certainly makes things much easier.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

Hong Yun happily accepted the Life Divine Fluid.

"Since you have already made your decision, it would be best to rebuild your physical body as soon as possible. I will not keep you any longer."

When you recover, I will be waiting for you to discuss the Dao together!

Since Hong Yun has chosen to reunite with his original source, it is naturally not suitable for him to remain in the Glazed Immortal Realm.

After thanking Cihang once again, Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi returned to Longevity Mountain Wuzhuang Temple together.

With the loss of the Primordial Violet Qi, Hong Yun's calamity had already dissipated.

Apart from Kunpeng, no one cares about Hong Yun.

Although rebuilding is difficult, with Hong Yun's wisdom and foundation, achieving quasi-sainthood is not difficult.

It remains to be seen whether Hong Yun will embark on the Primordial Chaos Path.

A thought flashed through Cihang's mind.

Hong Yun's future is entirely up to him.

At this moment, he needs to continue refining the Karmic Fire Red Lotus to sever his good corpse as soon as possible.
