Return to Hong Yuan Hall

If the one speaking had not been Hong Yuan, Luohu would have started fighting by now.

What the hell did he mean?

What influence could he possibly have on the Primordial Wilderness?

He had not even been born into the world yet.

But Luohu also knew that since Hong Yuan had said such a thing, he must have learned something.

After pondering for a moment, Luohu took a deep breath. "I can promise you, Hong Yuan, that I will not have any overly serious impact on the Primordial Wilderness."

Hong Yuan nodded at that.

Naturally, he believed Luohu's answer.

People like them disdained lying about such matters.

Once they gave their word, they would certainly fulfill it.

Besides, wasn't he here?

If Luohu dared break the agreement, he could simply kill him.

Before coming here, Hong Yuan had actually considered killing Luohu now.

But whenever that thought arose, the Primordial Wilderness always sent him a faint sense of resistance.

Thus, Hong Yuan completely abandoned the idea of killing Luohu immediately.

After all, the Primordial Wilderness rarely expressed its stance unless that person played an enormous role in it.

Hong Yuan guessed that Luohu might be able to contribute in some way to the Primordial Wilderness's evolution of the Heavenly Dao.

So, after giving up on killing Luohu, Hong Yuan decided to give him a warning.

After all, when Luohu later fought Hongjun and was defeated,

he would drag the Earth Veins of the western Primordial Wilderness down with him in self-destruction.

His methods could only be called ruthless.

As a result, the West never recovered, even as the Primordial Wilderness gradually declined in the future.

That was why Hong Yuan had beaten Luohu up the moment they met.

Only after Luohu promised not to have too great an impact on the Primordial Wilderness did Hong Yuan feel slightly reassured.

If worst came to worst, he could make preparations in advance.

After voicing his warning, Hong Yuan pulled Luohu into a discussion of the Dao.

His Law of Demons had yet to reach the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

Although Luohu was somewhat unwilling, he still honestly joined Hong Yuan and Yang Mei in discussing the Dao.

That discussion lasted for three Yuan Hui.

All three of them gained quite a few insights.

The ones who benefited most were undoubtedly Luohu and Hong Yuan.

After all, Luohu's cultivation was currently the lowest among the three, while Hong Yuan had never reached the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm himself. In terms of comprehending Laws, he was innately behind Yang Mei and Luohu.

After the discussion, Hong Yuan felt that he was not far from the third level of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

Thus, he said to Luohu, "Now that the discussion has ended, it is time for me to leave. I have been away for more than two Kalpas, so I should return to my Dojo and take a look."

As he spoke, Hong Yuan looked toward Yang Mei.

"Old Yang, do you want to come take a look at my place?"

Yang Mei thought for a moment, then agreed with a smile. "Sure."

He was also very curious what the Dojo of someone who was practically half the master of the Primordial Wilderness looked like.

So he did not refuse.

After Yang Mei agreed, Hong Yuan immediately connected with the brand of Hong Yuan Hall within his Primordial Spirit.

After bringing Yang Mei along, he returned to the Hong Yuan Realm in the blink of an eye.

This was something he had only figured out over the years.

After all, Hong Yuan Hall had been gifted to him by Big Brother Pangu and the Great Dao.

It contained a portion of both their powers.

By relying on the brand within his Primordial Spirit, so long as he was within the Primordial Wilderness, Hong Yuan could instantly return to Hong Yuan Hall from anywhere in the Primordial Wilderness.

Of course, this only worked for the journey back.

If he left, it would not work.

The moment the two returned to the Hong Yuan Realm,

Yang Mei was immediately stunned by Hong Yuan's Dojo.

Even in Chaos, he had never seen a world like the Hong Yuan Realm.

Compared to Hong Yuan's Dojo, the Dojos of people like them were practically places for livestock.

Within the Hong Yuan Realm, he could even feel his cultivation slowly improving.

The incomparably pure Chaos Qi was unbelievably dense.

Most importantly, the manifestation of Great Dao Laws here was countless times clearer than in the Primordial Wilderness.

If he cultivated here, he was confident that he would need only ten Kalpas—no, merely five Kalpas—to recover his Primordial Golden Immortal cultivation.

His progress would be nothing short of astonishing.

Seeing Yang Mei's shocked expression, Hong Yuan found it rather amusing. This was nothing yet.

He then led Yang Mei deeper into Hong Yuan Mountain.

The closer they got to Hong Yuan Mountain, the more Yang Mei inexplicably felt a strange premonition arise within him.

It was as though something belonging to him lay within Hong Yuan Mountain.

That feeling grew stronger as they gradually approached the mountain.

Until he saw the pillar-like stone statues beside the broad Jade Steps, he suddenly swallowed. "Are these portions of the origins of Fellow Daoist Soul and Fellow Daoist Boulder?"

He vaguely seemed to have guessed the reason behind the stirrings in his heart.

As they continued upward along the Jade Steps,

the shock in Yang Mei's heart grew ever stronger.

Along the way, he saw stone pillars radiating the Chaos Demon God aura that was so familiar to him.

Finally, he saw the stone pillar that belonged to him.

The discovery instantly filled him with overwhelming joy.

After all, although Chaos Demon Gods like them who had revived in the Primordial Wilderness had not completely perished like the other Chaos Demon Gods,

after dying once, very little of their original essence remained.

Much of the missing original essence had scattered throughout the Primordial Wilderness and been absorbed by it.

One could easily imagine Yang Mei's excitement upon seeing a small portion of his original essence here.

As long as he could absorb this portion of his original essence,

a small portion of his own original essence would be restored. This would greatly benefit both his cultivation and his future path.

If possible, no matter what conditions Hong Yuan demanded, he would obtain this small portion.

But before Yang Mei could celebrate, the excitement in his heart was extinguished by Hong Yuan's words.

"Old Yang, don't even think about it. Big Brother and the Great Dao left this behind. If you are not afraid of dying, go ahead and make a move."

"Uh..." Yang Mei was like a deflated ball, unable to say anything for a long while.

Hong Yuan smiled and patted Yang Mei on the shoulder, consoling him. "Besides, you, Yang Mei, are not lacking such a tiny bit of original essence. There is no need to covet this little bit in my Dojo."

Although Yang Mei wanted to cry, he still had no choice but to nod along with Hong Yuan.

"That's true. I do not lack such a tiny bit of original essence."

Yet his words sounded exceedingly forced.

That was his original essence, after all.

Who knew how much time it would take to completely restore his damaged original essence?

It would take hundreds of Kalpas.

Even then, it might not be fully restored.

Yet the portion in Hong Yuan's Dojo alone could save him several Kalpas of time.

"Fellow Daoist, let us leave quickly. Looking at it pains this old Daoist's heart," Yang Mei said to Hong Yuan with a strained smile.

Hong Yuan was amused by the incomparably complicated expression on Yang Mei's face.

So he nodded with a smile.

"Alright!"
