Cangyuan thought of such a possibility!

In the Primordial World literature he understood from his past life, there was no specific mention of when Zhenyuanzi created the Earth Vein Great Array!

If Zhenyuanzi hadn't thought of it during this period... then could he perhaps drop a hint?

Just then, the system panel emerged, and the system's notification sound rang in his ears.

"Ding! Detected that the current Zhenyuanzi has not yet created the Great Array of Moral Coercion. The host may make the following choices...

Choice One: Prompt Zhenyuanzi to create the Great Array of Moral Coercion.

Reward: Array Dao Law fragments *2!

Choice Two: Remain silent and let nature take its course, allowing Zhenyuanzi to contemplate and realize it on his own.

Reward: High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure -- Wood Spirit Pearl!"

The Choice of Destiny appeared once again.

Without his intervention, the shattered Primordial Spirit of Old Ancestor Hongyun might simply dissipate.

However, there were rumors that among the future Three Sovereigns of the Human Race, the Earthly Emperor Shennongshi was very likely the reincarnation of Old Ancestor Hongyun.

He didn't know if it was true or false.

After some thought, Cangyuan decisively chose one!

"System, I choose one."

System: "The host has made the Choice of Destiny, please go and complete it."

After saying this, the system's voice fell silent.

It was as if it had never appeared at all.

Looking at Zhenyuanzi, whose anxious brows were almost twisted into a knot, Cangyuan coughed twice: "Senior Zhenyuanzi, I have heard that you possess a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure called the Book of Earth, which can connect all the earth veins of the Primordial World. I do not know if this is true."

Although Zhenyuanzi did not know why Cangyuan was mentioning his Book of Earth at this moment, he still nodded in acknowledgment.

The Sanxiao Sisters and Bai Lianxin all cast curious gazes toward them.

Cangyuan continued: "I once heard my teacher say that when the Dao Ancestor fought the Devil Ancestor, it caused the western earth veins to be detonated, leaving the west barren ever since, and the Dao Ancestor himself suffered some influence and Heavenly Retribution.

I was thinking... what if Senior Zhenyuanzi used the Book of Earth to connect the earth veins and create a great array?

For instance, if the array were deployed, and someone were to shatter it, the Primordial World earth veins connected by the Book of Earth would also be shattered. I wonder... who could withstand such Heavenly Retribution and the burden of Karma?"

Cangyuan's words were like a spark of inspiration, exploding thunderously within Zhenyuanzi's Primordial Spirit!

Zhenyuanzi was suddenly enlightened!

As a Quasi-Saint powerhouse of the Primordial World and the owner of the Book of Earth, Zhenyuanzi saw much further than Cangyuan.

Cangyuan had merely described the Great Array of Moral Coercion based on his knowledge from his past life, but Zhenyuanzi saw through to the future in an instant, and a complete plan had already formed in his mind.

"Wonderful! Truly wonderful!"

A brilliant light erupted in Zhenyuanzi's eyes, and he was extremely excited: "This method is too brilliant. I have held the Book of Earth for so many years, yet I never thought in this direction. I am ashamed."

After hearing this, Old Ancestor Hongyun felt his scalp tingle. As a kind-hearted man, he saw the drawbacks of this method at a glance: "The defensive capabilities of this array are not important. If someone truly fearless were to shatter this array, the earth veins of the entire Primordial World would shatter. Wouldn't that be a bit... not very moral?"

"To hell with morality!"

As an enlightened powerhouse, Zhenyuanzi had his composure, but at this moment, he couldn't help but curse: "Is your life more important, or is morality?"

"If you die, I, Zhenyuanzi, will have no heart to explain right from wrong!"

Old Ancestor Hongyun fell silent.

He knew Zhenyuanzi meant well, but Old Ancestor Hongyun was very unwilling to have countless living beings suffer because of him.

But Zhenyuanzi clearly did not intend to take his opinion into account.

With his current shattered Primordial Spirit, he could not stop Zhenyuanzi either.

In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Sigh."

Zhenyuanzi looked at Cangyuan with gratitude: "Nephew-Disciple Cangyuan, oh no, Esteemed Brother Cangyuan, I will not forget your guidance. This is a great favor. Why don't we swear an oath to become sworn brothers today—you, me, and Hongyun? From now on, my Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain is your home. You can eat as many Ginseng Fruit as you like!"

It was not just because of Old Ancestor Hongyun.

Cangyuan's guidance today had undoubtedly provided him, Zhenyuanzi, with a transcendent method.

Once the Earth Vein Great Array was successful, let alone Dijun and Taiyi of the Heavenly Court, even a Saint would not dare to easily attack him, Zhenyuanzi!

If it caused the Primordial World earth veins to shatter, the monstrous Karma that would descend could knock even a Saint off their Saint Position!

With this array, he, Zhenyuanzi, could not only protect Esteemed Brother Hongyun, but also keep his Wuzhuang Temple transcendent and detached from worldly affairs.

Zhenyuanzi was sincerely grateful to Cangyuan.

Cangyuan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Sworn brothers?

Esteemed brother?

During the Journey to the West, Senior Zhenyuanzi was particularly fond of swearing brotherhood, even going so far as to become sworn brothers with Monkey Brother.

So, this habit of his already existed back then.

"That won't do."

Cangyuan said, "Senior Zhenyuanzi, you and my teacher are peers who both listened to the lectures at Zixiao Palace back in the day. You should be my martial uncle, so if we were to swear brotherhood... the seniority would be all messed up."

If he really swore brotherhood with Zhenyuanzi, wouldn't that put him on the same level of seniority as his teacher, Tongtian?

"Eh."

Zhenyuanzi had clearly made up his mind: "From now on, we shall each count our own."

"You call me martial uncle, and I will call you worthy brother."

Old Ancestor Hongyun, that troublemaker who loved to watch the chaos, started fanning the flames.

"Exactly, exactly. Cangyuan, my worthy brother, you might as well just give in."

"But..."

Cangyuan wanted to say something more, but Zhenyuanzi stomped his foot and glared: "Are you not giving me, Zhenyuanzi, any face? Or is it that because I haven't traveled the Primordial World for many years, I no longer have any standing in the Primordial World?"

"Alright then."

Cangyuan had no choice but to agree sheepishly, lest he fear Zhenyuanzi might beat him up.

"Hahahaha."

Zhenyuanzi laughed heartily: "That's more like it! Come, worthy brother, I don't have much in the way of good things, but please accept this High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."

As he spoke, Zhenyuanzi pulled an earthy-yellow, smooth bead from his Primordial Spirit and handed it to Cangyuan: "This is the Earth Spirit Pearl, one of the Five Innate Spirit Pearls. When the five Innate Spirit Pearls are combined into a set, their power is comparable to a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure."

Before Cangyuan could refuse, an earthy-yellow bead was already in his hand.

It was indeed the Earth Spirit Pearl!

Counting this one, Cangyuan had now collected the Water Spirit Pearl, the Fire Spirit Pearl, and the Earth Spirit Pearl. He only needed the Gold Spirit Pearl and the Wood Spirit Pearl to complete the set of Five Innate Spirit Pearls.

After a moment's thought, Cangyuan took it in stride: "Since that is the case, I will not refuse."

"Hahahaha, that's the spirit."

Zhenyuanzi was overjoyed.

It wasn't that Zhenyuanzi was unwilling to give away better things.

He only possessed one Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Book of Earth, which was his only real asset; he couldn't very well give that to Cangyuan, could he?

A High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure was nothing to sneeze at; many Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals didn't even have one.

At this moment, Qingfeng and Mingyue returned, pushing a cart of Ginseng Fruit.

The cart was piled high with Ginseng Fruit.

"Come, come, don't be polite. Eat to your heart's content. If that's not enough, I have plenty more in stock. Although they are older fruits, the taste is not the least bit inferior."

"What? You can't eat all of these? If you can't finish them, just stuff them in your pockets and take them back to eat slowly."

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author; perhaps the title has simply been changed!
