Becoming a Monkey on the Enlightenment Dao Tree

The Primordial Continent, vast and boundless!

Ye Jun slowly opened his eyes, taking in everything before him.

Looking out, there were nothing but great mountains, infinitely desolate.

"What the hell? Where is this place? How did I suddenly appear here?"

Ye Jun was completely bewildered, shouting at the top of his lungs.

Suddenly, he discovered that he had actually turned into a monkey? A monkey perched in a tree!

This tree was lush and green, its branches and leaves flourishing, filled with abundant spiritual energy. It swayed gracefully in the wind, and the laws of the Great Dao appeared around it from time to time.

This was an Enlightenment Dao Tree!

And he was a monkey living on the Enlightenment Dao Tree!

Seeing this, Ye Jun was even more dumbfounded.

What the hell was going on?

He had just been sleeping; how did he wake up to find himself like this?

At that very moment, a stream of information flooded into Ye Jun's mind.

Looking at this information, Ye Jun was stunned, rendered speechless for a moment.

He had actually transmigrated into the Primordial World—that world where strength was the only law, where one was nothing but an ant unless they became a Saint!

"How the hell am I supposed to survive this!" Ye Jun felt powerless to even complain.

If he had transmigrated as the Enlightenment Dao Tree itself, he would at least have had innate talent, but he had turned into a mere monkey?

He had been sent straight back to the新手村!

As a veteran fan of the Primordial genre, Ye Jun naturally understood the extraordinary nature of the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Drinking a cup of its tea could allow a cultivator to attain enlightenment; it was a rare opportunity in the Primordial World, a spiritual root comparable to the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots.

Thinking of this, Ye Jun's expression turned bitter. He was only a few meters away from having a heaven-defying origin!

The Enlightenment Dao Tree versus a monkey on the Enlightenment Dao Tree—fate was truly cruel!

Ye Jun groaned incessantly. As an ordinary monkey, wouldn't he just be at the mercy of others if he were discovered?

"This transmigration is way too difficult!" Ye Jun almost cried out, shouting helplessly.

Ye Jun's mind was in a state of chaos. What was he to do?

Suddenly, he noticed an elderly Daoist sitting beneath the tree, his Daoist robe giving him an ethereal, immortal air!

Beside the elderly Daoist sat a cup of tea!

Ye Jun's brow twitched. That cup of tea looked exactly like it had been brewed from the leaves of this very Enlightenment Dao Tree!

The old Daoist let out a low shout, and three clusters of pure qi emerged from the top of his head, shooting off in three different directions around him!

The moment the three clusters of pure qi hit the ground, they transformed into three identical old Daoists!

Watching from the sidelines, Ye Jun suddenly raised an eyebrow. Wasn't this technique the Dao Method of Slaying Three Corpses?

Then, this ethereal old Daoist must be the Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

"Oh my goodness, to run into Dao Ancestor Hongjun right after transmigrating—could this be compensation for my poor origin?" A glimmer of light flashed in Ye Jun's eyes.

If he could latch onto the thigh of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted in the Primordial World later on?

Even if he was just a monkey!

Thinking of this, Ye Jun couldn't stop his mouth from curling into a grin.

While Ye Jun was busy imagining a bright future, Dao Ancestor Hongjun beneath the tree formed hand seals, his body wreathed in purple qi, looking every bit like someone on the verge of attaining the Dao!

"Merge!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun gave a clear shout, and the laws of the Great Dao enveloped the heavens and earth. The three corpses transformed from the three clusters of pure qi behind him suddenly turned into three streaks of light, converging back onto the top of his head.

The three streaks of light plunged directly into Hongjun's body. In an instant, the entire mountain peak was filled with auspicious signs and golden light!

Around Dao Ancestor Hongjun, dragons and phoenixes sang in unison, and the Dao Rhyme flowed!

Seeing such a phenomenon, Ye Jun understood: Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Dao Method of Slaying Three Corpses had reached the realm of Great Completion!

It wouldn't be long before the first Saint of the Primordial World appeared!

Having just slain his three corpses, Dao Ancestor Hongjun opened his eyes, his face glowing, and drained the Enlightenment tea beside him in one gulp!

Seeing this, Ye Jun jumped straight down from the Enlightenment Dao Tree and said, "Greetings, Senior!"

"Rise," Dao Ancestor Hongjun said, his hands behind his back, exuding the detached air of an immortal, his expression indifferent.

With Hongjun's cultivation, he had long known of the monkey's presence on the tree, but it was merely an ordinary monkey.

There was no need to take it to heart!

Ye Jun steeled his heart and spoke up, "Senior, I wonder if you have any disciples under your tutelage?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun raised an eyebrow. Was this creature trying to take him as a master?

Ye Jun's gaze was burning, his face full of anticipation as he looked at the Dao Ancestor.

Such an opportunity was rare and hard to come by; if he missed it this time, he feared he would never encounter it again.

If Dao Ancestor Hongjun truly took him in, then even a monkey would be a disciple of a Saint!

"This poor Daoist has no disciples under his seat for the time being, but you and I share no fate of master and apprentice," Hongjun said, his face expressionless.

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Ye Jun's face.

But in an instant, Ye Jun gritted his teeth, wanting to strive for it once more.

This was the Dao Ancestor, after all! If he could really cling to this golden thigh, his future would be boundless!

"Senior, I..." Ye Jun had just opened his mouth...

But seeing a trace of disdain on the Dao Ancestor's face, he waved his hand directly: "You and I have no master-disciple fate; there is no need to say more."

Ye Jun sighed.

As expected, it wasn't so easy to become a disciple of the Dao Ancestor!

Without a Primordial Origin or the aptitude of a Saint, he truly couldn't catch the Dao Ancestor's eye.

Ye Jun turned his head and glanced at the Enlightenment Tea Tree!

Fine, even without the Dao Ancestor, having this Enlightenment Tea Tree that had raised him, he at least had a place to shelter in this chaotic Primordial world.

But in a flash, Hongjun also looked toward the lush and leafy Enlightenment Tea Tree.

A disciple of the Dao Ancestor was a destined Saint.

Their natural talent and Origin must be of the highest caliber.

Compared to this Enlightenment Tea Tree, this monkey before him... A trace of coldness flickered in the corner of Hongjun's eyes, and he remained silent.

"This Enlightenment Tree has the merit of helping me achieve Sainthood; it does indeed have quite a bit of affinity with me!"

As soon as the words fell, Hongjun waved his large hand, taking the Enlightenment Tree into the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud behind his head.

In an instant, it turned into a streak of light and vanished from Ye Jun's sight.

In that moment, Ye Jun was stunned.

What the heck? What the hell!

The Enlightenment Tea Tree... just taken away like that?

So, because I have no master-disciple fate, this Enlightenment Tea Tree has an affinity with you?

What kind of nonsense is this "no master-disciple fate"!

Isn't it just because you see that I am a mortal by birth and my Origin is inferior to that Enlightenment Tea Tree?

Ye Jun sneered. What a great Dao Ancestor! This distinction between high and low, this ranking into tiers... you have truly demonstrated it to the fullest!

"Hongjun, one day you will surely regret this!" Ye Jun muttered to himself.

Just at this moment, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Sign-in System has been activated!"

Hearing the voice, Ye Jun froze for a moment, then laughed wildly in his heart.

What the heck! Coming through as a transmigrator really does come with a system as standard equipment!

I hope this system doesn't let me down!

"What functions does the Sign-in System have?" Ye Jun asked tentatively.

"Sign-in System: every time you arrive at a new location in the Primordial world, you can perform a sign-in."

"And grant the host a sign-in reward!"

"You cannot sign in at the same location twice!"

The cold system voice rang out in Ye Jun's mind once more.

Sign-in System? Sounds pretty good!

"Ding~"

"Signed in at Kunlun Mountain. Sign-in task completed. Rewarding host with Nine Revolutions Profound Art!"

As soon as the system's mechanical voice ended, a ball of light appeared before Ye Jun.

What the heck! I'm at Kunlun Mountain? Is this reward coming at such a timely moment?

After Ye Jun opened the restriction on the light ball, an ancient, simple tome floated in mid-air.

Chaos Bead!
