Inside the dojo.

Two figures stood in the courtyard.

One sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his features flawless beyond reproach. The other knelt prostrate on the ground, possessing an extraordinary bearing. Both were exceptionally handsome men.

Seeing that Yun Zhongzi was kind by nature,

Qingyuan felt gratified. He helped him up from the ground and said, "Since you have taken me as your master, I shall tell you who I am."

"I am Qingyuan, chief disciple under Sect Master Tongtian of Shangqing and First Disciple of Intercepting Sect. Since you have joined my sect, you will become a Third-generation Disciple of Xuan Sect in the future. You must remember that when walking the Primordial Wilderness, you must never commit countless evils. Do not do evil simply because it seems small. Otherwise, should you commit monstrous sins, even if it costs me my life, I will Purge the Sect!"

"Do not do evil simply because it seems small?"

Yun Zhongzi's eyes lit up. He bowed and asked, "Master, I have always helped others regardless of whether the good deed was great or small. Why was no one willing to help me when I was in trouble?"

"Because they were all your teachers."

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Yun Zhongzi was somewhat confused.

"Hahahaha! Didn't they teach you that indiscriminate kindness only leads to nothing?"

Seeing Yun Zhongzi's pensive expression, Qingyuan solemnly said, "Though you meant well in helping others, most only wished to use you and held no respect for you. They were also jealous that you had obtained Primordial Violet Qi, so why would they help you?"

"Actually, I have seen many people like you in society... in the Primordial Wilderness. Fresh out of graduation... cough, relying on your abilities to enter the Primordial Wilderness, believing that traveling far and wide to help the world would earn you countless good reputations. Perhaps you had no intention of building a name for yourself, but you must understand that not everyone knows gratitude. They will envy you, hate you, resent you, and despise you!"

"When you are flourishing, guests and friends will come from every direction. But when you fall, the monkeys scatter when the tree falls!"

"Let me tell you the story of The Farmer and the Snake. Long ago, a bitter winter suddenly arrived, freezing a venomous snake that had failed to hibernate unconscious. A cultivator named the farmer passed by and kindly saved it. Yet when the venomous snake awoke, not only did it fail to repay his kindness, it even bit the farmer in return, poisoning him to death before stealing his possessions and fleeing."

"There is nothing wrong with kindness. The mistake is placing it in the wrong person."

"Just like your good friend Great Immortal Zhenyuan. When he learned that you had been attacked and killed by Ancestor Kunpeng, he furiously wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Court and stirred up the Blood Sea, shaking heaven and earth and making ghosts and gods weep!!"

"That is the kind of friend who is truly a confidant."

"So, as your master, I beg you to restrain your kindness in the future. Do not help just anyone. Help those who are worth helping..."

Upon hearing those words,

Yun Zhongzi's mind roared.

It was as though lightning had struck him, leaving him frozen in place. He only felt as if something inside his heart had shattered.

Suddenly, a clear wind blew over, stirring his hair.

Yun Zhongzi's face flushed red as he abruptly vomited a large pool of black blood.

Upon his face,

There was the unrestrained relief of release, along with a helpless smile mocking his former self.

"This disciple understands. Thank you, Master, for imparting the Dao and resolving my doubts!"

Yun Zhongzi prostrated himself once more.

"Mm... do not dwell on the past. It was merely a little hardship."

Qingyuan fell silent before saying, "Since you have joined my sect, I shall grant you cultivation methods today."

Afterward,

Qingyuan bestowed the Nine Revolutions Primordial Art, the Azure Lotus Sword Technique, and a Mid-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure, the Azure Rainbow Sword, upon Yun Zhongzi.

Having received the methods,

Yun Zhongzi temporarily immersed himself in sorting through the "ppt" Qingyuan had sent him.

At that moment,

The system's reward feedback took effect.

[Ding! The host has bestowed the Azure Lotus Sword Technique and the Mid-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure Azure Rainbow Sword upon disciple Yun Zhongzi. Critical reward feedback has taken effect. The host is rewarded with the Chaos Purple Firmament Three Thousand Sword Techniques and the Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Innate Two Principles Qiankun Sword! Please keep up the good work!!] [Chaos Purple Firmament Three Thousand Sword Daos: Contains the supreme sword Daos of the Universe Myriad Worlds, the ultimate method of the Sword Great Dao!!] [Innate Two Principles Qiankun Sword: Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Contains the force of Yin-Yang Heaven-Earth. The twin swords contain Three Thousand Drowning Waters and Ziwei Heavenly Fire. Those who enter its formation will struggle to escape death!]

Seeing the Disciple-Acceptance System provide such benefits,

Qingyuan was overjoyed.

But it also confirmed some of his suspicions.

"As expected!"

"Using rewards granted by the system to bestow upon disciples will not trigger critical reward feedback. Only by giving them items that belong to me can I obtain rewards."

Regarding this,

Qingyuan did not care.

So long as he firmly secured his position as First Disciple of Intercepting Sect in the future, why would he have to worry about lacking disciples or resources?

He would only grow stronger and stronger!

Yun Zhongzi awakened from the cultivation methods Qingyuan had transmitted. Gratitude filled his face as he said, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing such methods. This disciple will certainly cultivate diligently and not disappoint Master's great kindness!"

Though he knew fragments of his past memories,

They were all fleeting fragments, like scenes passing before his eyes.

The cultivation methods of the past had long since vanished without a trace.

Originally, he had not expected a Mystic Immortal to give him any good cultivation methods. The Azure Lotus Sword Technique and the Mid-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure were examples of that.

Yet who would have thought that the other party would actually grant him a heaven-defying Primordial Wilderness method like the Nine Revolutions Primordial Art!

Even the former Hong Yun had never been permitted to read such a method!!

Forget it. There was no need to mention the past.

What did the past amount to?

It was merely a little hardship!!

"Mm. Go cultivate for now. I grant you this half-drop of Three Lights Divine Water. Take it back to stabilize your Primordial Spirit and recover properly."

Qingyuan divided the Three Lights Divine Water granted by the system into two.

He bestowed half upon Yun Zhongzi.

Then he pushed the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd floating in the air toward him. "Take the gourd back as well."

Yun Zhongzi froze and asked in disbelief, "Master, y-you are giving this gourd to me?"

It was no wonder Yun Zhongzi was shocked.

The Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd was a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. It contained Chaos Red Sand, and when that Red Sand formed the Red Sand Formation, it could grind to death all living beings who entered it. Even Grand Unity Golden Immortals would have their Primordial Spirits eroded and suffer Body Dies Dao Vanishes should they touch the Red Sand!!

Its viciousness was boundless!

Even Quasi-Saints with any standing would likely abandon all dignity to fight over it.

Yet this mere Mystic Immortal... was returning his gourd to him?

Fearing that Qingyuan did not know the gourd's power, Yun Zhongzi hurriedly explained the divine abilities of the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd.

But Qingyuan merely shook his head. "This is your magic treasure. If I were to keep even this from you, how could I have the face to be your master?"

"Go back and recover."

Qingyuan was unmoved. He had no intention of taking his disciple's treasure.

As far as he was concerned, treasures would only become more plentiful in the future, never fewer. On the other hand, the stronger his disciples became, the stronger he would become!

Besides, a single Innate Spiritual Treasure would not make him rich. Why create a rift with his disciple over a magic treasure?

Yet unexpectedly,

The system sounded once more.

[Ding! The host has bestowed the High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd upon disciple Yun Zhongzi. Critical reward feedback has taken effect. The host is rewarded with the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Nine-Nine Chaos Divine Firmament Spiritual Treasure Gourd!] [Nine-Nine Chaos Divine Firmament Spiritual Treasure Gourd: Contains Chaos Divine Thunder. Once the divine thunder is unleashed, heaven and earth are destroyed, Earth, Water, Fire, Wind collapse, and universe realms as numerous as Ganges Sand shatter and crumble. Even Hunyuan beings would not dare take it lightly!!]

"A Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?"

Qingyuan was inwardly shaken.

Fortunately, years of "suffering humiliation" within the Interception Sect had long since made him deeply composed, and his expression did not change.

Yun Zhongzi knew nothing of this.

He respectfully kowtowed three times before turning and leaving.

He flew to a secluded corner of Serene Peak, built a courtyard like Qingyuan's, and entered Secluded Cultivation to recover.

After Yun Zhongzi left,

Qingyuan stared at the pool of black blood on the ground and sighed inwardly. "A sudden clear wind condenses sword qi, slashing straight through a youth's resolve. I hope Yun Zhongzi does not keep being such a good person in the future. Otherwise, as a Disciple of the Sect of Interception, he might not even know when the Chan Sect gets him killed."

"The reason Hong Yun's remnant soul came to the Kunlun Mountains was likely because it had been drawn there by the Great Dao Spiritual Charm of the Primordial Wilderness's foremost sacred land. Then, over the distant Years, it devoured spiritual clouds and gained intelligence. That was why my senior uncle, Venerable Yuanshi, took it in, making it the True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue, Yun Zhongzi, of the Chan Sect. During the Red Dust Tribulation, he would encounter neither disaster nor hardship, living free and unrestrained."

"I wonder how my senior uncle will feel when he learns that a junior has stolen his opportunity..."

"Forget it. I should not think so much."

"I need to accelerate my cultivation as well. Otherwise, Duobao will come to kill me too..."

Suddenly,

Qingyuan laid down layer upon layer of formations.

He claimed the rewards granted by the system, including the Upper-grade Innate Demon God Origin and the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

Boom!

He felt his body tremble.

A terrifying and vast life force erupted within him, transforming into dragons and serpents that circulated through Heaven-Earth and frantically remolded his fleshly body and soul. The profundity was beyond description. Creation was like a silent spring rain, yet also like exploding thunder.

Qingyuan only felt his ears ring and his vision go dark as he lost all consciousness.

When he awoke again,

He discovered that his true body had become a Twenty-Four Petaled Innate Green Lotus. Creation, life force... all kinds of Laws and Dao Resonance surrounded him like stars.

At that moment,

He sensed that heaven and earth had changed.

The profound teachings that had once been difficult to understand now became clear with a single realization. By observing the Primordial Wilderness, he could sense all kinds of Laws manifesting. The Innate Spiritual Energy and Dao Resonance between heaven and earth surged toward him like a tidal wave.

Even if he did not cultivate actively,

He could simply sleep lazily inside the dojo and smoothly reach beyond the Golden Immortal realm.

After that, he would easily step into Taiyi and Daluo, without encountering any bottlenecks or tribulations.

As for his former Postnatal Origin, he likely would have struggled his entire life just to reach the threshold of the Golden Immortal realm, accomplishing nothing at all!!

"No wonder origin is so important in the Primordial Wilderness. Compared to before, the difference is like dust and stars—too distant to ever intersect!"

Qingyuan was inwardly astounded.

Feeling the vast Innate Spiritual Energy and Great Dao spiritual essence surging around him like waves,

He casually took a few breaths.

They were worth more than years of his former bitter cultivation in seclusion!

"An Upper-grade Innate Demon God Origin and the true body of a Twenty-Four Petaled lotus platform have actually allowed me to comprehend such difficult Laws as Creation and life force. My true body's innate talents are also Ten Thousand Evils Not Invade, endless vitality, and undying Creation. If paired with cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, my progress will likely advance by leaps and bounds."

"If I can cultivate an Indestructible Vajra Physique, who in the same realm could kill me?"

"No wonder Innate Divine Beings could sweep across the Primordial Wilderness and become Overlords unrivaled among its countless beings. The Innate Divine Abilities they are born with are simply too powerful—the difference is even greater than that between dust and the sun."

Qingyuan sighed.

A white and a black sword appeared in his hands. Each was six feet long, their blades etched with exquisite and intricate divine patterns.

The white sword was covered in Ziwei Stars, its elaborate fire patterns spreading across the blade like sunset clouds. The black sword was engraved with an endless Black Sea, waves surging and crashing against the shore. The moment the two swords appeared, heaven and earth lost color, the sun and moon trembled, Heaven-Earth twisted, and Yin-Yang wavered...
