Heavenly Dao: Are You Teaching Me How to Do Things? Hongjun: Don't Get Involved, I'm Afraid River Gods Will Misunderstand, Again!

"The Upper Method involves significant matters. With the current scale and foundation of the Primordial Era, it's difficult to implement. If the Lower Method and Middle Method are rolled out, then the Upper Method can be promoted."

At this moment, Tang Xuan continued leisurely.

"The Upper Method can't even be implemented right now?"

Hongjun's pupils constricted. The Heavenly Dao was also moved. The name of the Upper Method that Tang Xuan had just mentioned appeared in both their minds.

The Heavenly Dao Sequence Plan!

Just hearing the name made it sound incredibly powerful, high-class, and sophisticated!

If the Lower and Middle Methods were already so terrifying, then the Upper Method would be even more incredible, wouldn't it? It would reach the heavens!

Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao developed a strong interest and anticipation for this Upper Method.

"Universal Creation... Universal Creation..."

"Coupled with the selection of Calamities..."

"If this can be achieved, who would care about that so-called Gate of Taboo? Who would need that so-called Gate of Taboo!"

"Even scheming to become the Lord of the Heavenly Dao is just because the foundation is so limited. If there were a better plan, why bother refining the Primordial Era to become the Lord of the Heavenly Dao!"

Hongjun's breathing quickened, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

In the past, he was conflicted about whether to be a good person or a bad person. Now, Hongjun understood.

Before, he had no choice. Now, he only wanted to be a good person, a good person with an immortal demeanor who dedicated himself to the Primordial Era!

Hongjun wasn't a fool; how could he not know how to choose between benefits and drawbacks?

As for the Heavenly Dao, its thoughts were even simpler.

It could already see the terrifying opportunities contained within this plan and the immense benefits it would bring to the Primordial Era.

Immediately, the Heavenly Dao wanted to reward Tang Xuan with Merit. However, realizing that Tang Xuan already had more Merit than itself, the Heavenly Dao decisively ordered Hongjun to give Spirit Treasures.

"?"

Hongjun.

Wait, you're not giving it, and you want me to?

Isn't my money money?

Hongjun felt wronged, but he didn't say anything. He obediently took out the other four banners of the Innate Five-Colored Banner – the Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Banner, the Southern Flame Light Banner, the Western Cloud Realm Banner, and the Northern Mystic Water Control Banner – and tossed them into the river.

As the Innate Five-Colored Banner, formed from the lotus petals of the Creation Green Lotus, each was of the highest-grade Innate Spirit Treasure level. If the five were paired together, they would be no less than an Innate Supreme Treasure.

This made Tang Xuan glance at Hongjun.

So Hongjun had all the Innate Five-Colored Banners?

He remembered that the Central Banner was with the Primordial Heavenly Venerate, the Eastern Banner with the Jieyin Daoist, and the Southern, Western, and Northern Banners were with the Dao De Tianzun, Yaochi, and Minghe respectively.

It seemed that Hongjun had placed them on the Treasure Distribution Cliff, and these individuals obtained them, or perhaps they obtained them from Hongjun through other channels. Tang Xuan understood.

As expected of the one hailed as the ultimate boss behind the scenes in the Primordial Era, he truly possessed many Spirit Treasures, not much less than the treasure vaults of the Three Clans.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior."

Hongjun said respectfully.

From the horizon, the Heavenly Dao's grateful voice, faint and indistinct, also echoed.

"It was just an exchange according to the rules, no need to thank me."

Tang Xuan waved his hand, his body gradually becoming transparent, leaving only his voice echoing between heaven and earth: "When the Primordial Era is perfected and undergoes transformation, you may then ask what the Upper Method is."

"We respectfully send off Senior."

Chaos, Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun returned, his heart surging with emotion.

He had intended to directly discuss this grand vision drawn by Tang Xuan with the Heavenly Dao. However, recalling how the River God had secretly spoken to the Heavenly Dao just now, Hongjun felt uneasy and wanted to understand the situation.

"Heavenly Dao, what did Senior River God say to you just now?"

Hongjun asked.

The Heavenly Dao Golden Wheel illuminated, and the Heavenly Dao's indifferent voice resounded throughout the main hall: "Are you telling me what to do?"

As the Heavenly Dao, the embodiment of rules, it could not lie. But it didn't matter. Since it couldn't reply directly, it would use the River God's words to silence Hongjun.

"..."

Hongjun.

"%……&*%￥#."

Hongjun.

Fine, fine, so that's how we're playing.

The River God disdains it, and you're joining the fun too?

Then... endure!

Hongjun took a deep breath like a wronged little wife, calmed his emotions, and didn't ask further.

Wouldn't that be asking for humiliation? He didn't dare to provoke the unfathomable River God, nor could he afford to provoke the Heavenly Dao.

"Deduce the feasibility of the Lower and Middle plans mentioned by Senior River God, and refine the details."

Hongjun changed the subject.

"Good."

The Heavenly Dao Golden Wheel vanished.

Hongjun waved his hand, shielding the heavenly secrets of Zixiao Palace and excluding the Heavenly Dao.

"Calculating the time, according to what they said, Yang Mei should be arriving in the Primordial Era soon. I need to make plans."

"I originally intended to hide my strength, but now it seems it's no longer necessary."

"If the Lower and Middle methods are implemented, the future development of the Primordial Era is immeasurable. I, must hold the dominant position, so I need to establish my authority."

"The Dragon-Han Tribulation has already made me lose face. Yang Mei's arrival is a perfect opportunity for me."

His eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment of thought, Hongjun mused inwardly.

Sensing something, Hongjun frowned and slightly raised his eyes.

The next moment, an invisible roar sounded, and the entire main hall quickly became dim, as if all light had been swallowed.

In the blur, a mysterious, ancient, and strange portal slowly appeared, filled with a strong sense of evil and chaos.

"What do you want with me?"

Hongjun said calmly.

"The Mythical Method, what exactly is it?"

"Variables should be erased."

"Hongjun, don't forget our agreement."

"Under the Immeasurable Tribulation, only we can allow you to transcend."

"Hongjun, have you forgotten who helped you?"

Violent, cold, sinister, and chaotic whispers emanated from the dark portal. In the blur, it seemed as if strange figures could be seen struggling within the portal, as if trying to break free.

"Am I familiar with you?"

"Don't make a fuss, I'm afraid Senior River God will misunderstand."

Hongjun looked at them coldly, sneered, and waved his hand, forcibly obliterating the portal.

Before, he had no choice. Now that a bright future lies before him, who would want to associate with you rats from the gutter? Stay away, I refuse.

"???"

Gate of Taboo.

Dismissing his thoughts, Hongjun closed his eyes, preparing to consolidate his realm while deducing and refining the methods given by Tang Xuan.

The secret conversation between the River God and the Heavenly Dao just now flashed through his mind, and then... nothing more.

The more Hongjun thought about it, the more uneasy and anxious he became. He simply opened his eyes and stood up abruptly.

No, he still needed to gather some information.

"Swish!"

With a flash, Hongjun disappeared from Zixiao Palace, leaving secretly and silently, even concealing it from the Heavenly Dao.

The bottom of Tongtian River.

Tang Xuan had already continued to enhance his comprehension and deduce the Nine Breaths Assimilation.

Suddenly, sensing something, Tang Xuan stopped his deduction and slowly opened his eyes.

"Can't wait already?"

A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes, and Tang Xuan looked up.

He saw that on the bank of Tongtian River, Hongjun's figure had... reappeared!

The bait has taken the hook!

"What is that gate? The answer... can now be revealed!"

His eyes narrowed, and a curve appeared at the corner of Tang Xuan's mouth as he stood up.
