Return to Hong Yuan Hall

If it weren't for the fact that the speaker was Hong Yuan, Luohu would have started fighting by now.

What the hell do you mean?

What influence could I possibly have on the Primordial Wilderness?

This Old Ancestor hasn't even been born yet.

But Luohu also knew that since Hong Yuan had said this, he must have known something.

So after pondering for a moment, Luohu took a deep breath and said, "I can promise you, Hong Yuan, that I will not cause any too severe impact on the Primordial Wilderness."

Hearing this, Hong Yuan nodded.

He naturally believed the answer Luohu had given.

After all, people like them would never stoop to lying about such matters.

Once a promise was made, it would definitely be kept.

Besides, wasn't he here to keep watch?

If Luohu dared to break the agreement, he would just kill him outright.

Before coming, Hong Yuan had actually been considering whether to kill Luohu right then and there.

But every time he had this thought, the Primordial Wilderness would give him a faint sense of resistance.

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

After all, the Primordial Wilderness rarely expressed itself unless that person played a significant role in it.

Hong Yuan guessed that Luohu might provide some function in the evolution of the Heavenly Dao within the Primordial Wilderness.

So, after giving up on the plan to slay Luohu, Hong Yuan decided to give him a warning instead.

Because in the future, after Luohu fought Hongjun and was defeated, he would drag the Earth Veins of the Western Primordial Wilderness into a self-detonation along with him.

His methods were undeniably ruthless.

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

That was why Hong Yuan had beaten Luohu up as soon as he arrived.

And after Luohu promised not to cause too great an impact on the Primordial Wilderness, Hong Yuan felt a little more at ease.

If worst came to worst, he would just make some preparations in advance.

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

His Law of Demons had not yet reached the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin realm.

Though Luohu was somewhat unwilling, he still obediently joined Hong Yuan in discussing the Dao.

This discussion lasted for three Yuan Hui.

All three gained considerable insights.

Among them, Luohu and Hong Yuan benefited the most.

After all, Luohu's cultivation was the lowest of the three, while Hong Yuan, having never reached the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, was inherently at a disadvantage in comprehending the laws compared to Yang Mei and Luohu.

After the discussion, Hong Yuan felt that he was not far from the third heaven of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin realm.

So he spoke to Luohu, "Since the discussion is over, This Venerable should take his leave! Having been away for over two Kalpas, it's time to return to my Dojo and have a look."

With that, Hong Yuan turned to Yang Mei.

"Old Yang, would you like to come see my place?"

Yang Mei thought for a moment, then smiled and agreed, "Sure."

He was also curious about what the Dojo of Hong Yuan, who was practically the master of half the Primordial Wilderness, looked like.

So he didn't refuse.

After Yang Mei agreed, Hong Yuan directly connected to the Brand of the Hong Yuan Hall within his Primordial Spirit.

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 in recent years.

After all, the Hong Yuan Hall was a gift from Elder Brother Pangu and the Great Dao.

It contained a portion of their power.

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

Of course, this only worked for the return trip.

It had no effect when leaving.

The two had just returned to the Hong Yuan Realm.

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

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

Compared to Hong Yuan's dojo, the dojos of the rest of them were practically fit for beasts.

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

The utterly pure Chaos Qi was dense to an extreme degree.

Especially here, the manifestation of the Great Dao Law was countless times clearer than in the Primordial Wilderness.

If he cultivated here, he was confident that in just ten kalpas—no! In only five kalpas, he would recover to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin realm.

It could be called a thousand miles in a single day.

Watching Yang Mei's face full of shock, 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, Yang Mei, for some reason, suddenly felt a strange premonition.

It was as if, within this Hong Yuan Mountain, there was something of his own.

That feeling grew stronger the closer they approached Hong Yuan Mountain.

Until he saw the pillar-like stone statues beside the wide Jade Steps, he suddenly swallowed his saliva: "Is this a portion of the original essence of Soul Fellow Daoist and Giant Stone Fellow Daoist?"

He vaguely seemed to guess the reason for the stirring in his heart.

And as they ascended the Jade Steps step by step.

The shock in Yang Mei's heart grew stronger.

Along the way, he saw stone pillars radiating the aura of Chaos Demon Gods, all so familiar to him.

Finally, he saw his own stone pillar.

This discovery immediately stirred up immense joy in his heart.

After all, they, the Chaos Demon Gods reborn in the Primordial Wilderness, were not like those others who had completely fallen.

But after falling once, they had little of their original essence left.

And much of that lost original essence had scattered into the Primordial Wilderness, absorbed by it.

So one could imagine Yang Mei's excitement at seeing a small portion of his own original essence appear here.

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

His own original essence would be partially replenished, which would greatly benefit both his cultivation and his future path.

If possible, even if Hong Yuan set any conditions, he would obtain this small portion.

But before Yang Mei could rejoice, his excitement was doused by a single sentence from Hong Yuan.

"Old Yang, don't even think about it. This was left by my Elder Brother and the Great Dao. If you're not afraid to die, go ahead and try."

"Uh..." Yang Mei instantly deflated like a punctured ball, unable to speak for a long time.

Hong Yuan smiled and patted Yang Mei on the shoulder, comforting him: "Anyway, you, Yang Mei, don't lack this bit of original essence. There's no need to covet this little bit in my dojo."

Though Yang Mei wanted to cry, he still had to nod along with Hong Yuan's words.

"That's true. I don't lack that little bit of original essence."

But his words sounded so forced.

After all, that was his original essence.

To fully restore his damaged original essence, who knew how much time it would take?

This was measured in hundreds of kalpas.

And even then, it might not fully recover.

But that portion in Hong Yuan's dojo would save him several kalpas' worth of time.

"Fellow Daoist, let's leave quickly. Watching this pains this old Daoist!" Yang Mei forced a smile and spoke to Hong Yuan.

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

So he smiled and nodded.

"Alright."
