After speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, "My junior brother is right. It's a true pity. If we could have brought it back, I guarantee that within a hundred years, the three of us senior brothers would have advanced to the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm!"

Yuanshi exclaimed with admiration, "The demeanor and style of that expert are truly unfettered and unpredictable. I can't see or guess anything about them. I truly wonder if I'll have another chance to witness the expert's brilliance again."

Laozi smiled faintly and said with confidence, "Don't worry, my two junior brothers. Your senior brother already has a plan."

Tongtian and Yuanshi were both excited, "Eldest Brother, please tell us quickly."

Laozi said proudly, "I've observed for a long time that the expert also enjoys calligraphy and painting, which happens to be something I excel at."

Tongtian was full of admiration, "Eldest Brother truly thinks of everything."

"Although in terms of cultivation and realm, Eldest Brother, you cannot compare to the expert, when it comes to calligraphy and painting, I firmly believe you are no worse than the expert. Next time, I truly look forward to seeing you compete with the expert." Yuanshi also praised.

Laozi chuckled, "You flatter me, junior brother. How could my meager skills be compared to the expert's?"

Tongtian said indignantly, "Eldest Brother, don't be so modest. If there's a chance next time, you can certainly spar with the expert."

Laozi smiled without speaking. He casually cast several incantations, and the cloud chariot suddenly accelerated, rapidly disappearing towards Kunlun Mountain.

Behind them, Hongyun watched the disappearing Three Pure Ones and asked hesitantly, "Zhen Yuanzi, perhaps we should head back too."

Zhen Yuanzi was furious, "Hongyun, Hongyun, why are you so timid? You were scared off by the Three Pure Ones after just a few words."

Hongyun quietly retorted, "It's not that I'm afraid. I was just thinking that since the Three Pure Ones have already gone, any benefits or opportunities are likely already taken by them. If we go now, it would just be a wasted trip."

"You're truly foolish. If that were the case, why would the Three Pure Ones waste their breath on us and try to mislead us? This is obviously strange. I must go and investigate to be satisfied," Zhen Yuanzi said resentfully.

"Alright, since I get along well with you, fellow Daoist, I'll go with you then," Hongyun said again.

Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand, "As you wish. You can leave on your own; I won't force you."

He thought to himself, Bringing you along is just a burden anyway. You might cause trouble for me at any moment.

"Let's hurry," Hongyun urged.

Zhen Yuanzi said no more, and the two of them left quickly.

In the small courtyard, Jiang Ping ate two bowls of rice porridge, two tea eggs, and one steamed bun, finishing his dinner.

He was too lazy to clean up afterward, thinking about Miss Feng whom he had seen earlier.

He was pondering now that Miss Feng's identity must be extraordinary.

The Primordial Era was so dangerous, yet she dared to wander around alone. She was much bolder than he was.

However, he hadn't felt any pressure from a powerful being on her. She was most likely a disciple of some sect or something.

Probably just a beginner.

If she came again next time, he would take the opportunity to ask her about the Primordial World, so he could plan for his future. He couldn't just hide in this small courtyard forever.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ping was also secretly surprised. Recently, guests had suddenly started visiting.

Could it be related to the system's disconnection?

After all, when the system was present, he hadn't seen a single living person.

Doesn't that mean he had already been exposed to the senses of the great powers of the Primordial Era?

Forget it, who cares. If he was exposed, he was exposed. He was just an ordinary person, who would notice him.

What if some great power of the Primordial Era noticed him, saw his unique aptitude, and used their great divine powers, or gave him some heavenly treasures, perhaps he could start cultivating.

He didn't want to be a Grand Unity or anything like that. Being a Heavenly Immortal would be good too. At least he could live for tens of thousands of years.

Anyway, there were no video games, no food, and entertainment in this Primordial World. It would be better to die early and reincarnate, maybe he could even return to Earth.

Jiang Ping mused, and casually said, "Da Huang, and the Heng Ha Generals, don't wander around randomly recently. I'm afraid it's not safe outside. Also, there might be other guests visiting. Da Huang, don't bark randomly."

"Alright, I need to rest again. Find something to eat yourselves, and absolutely do not make any noise!"

After speaking, Jiang Ping yawned and went inside.

In the courtyard, the Heng Ha Generals and Da Huang quickly gathered together.

"Master's words have a deeper meaning, as if hinting to us that great changes are coming to the Primordial Era."

"No way, the Dragon-Han Tribulation just ended. Could there be another tribulation in the Primordial Era?"

"No, I think it might be about the Dao Ancestor's sermon."

"Hiss! Master's divine abilities are too incredible. He can actually predict the next sermon at Purple Heaven Palace."

"What's there to be surprised about? Anyway, for the time being, let's not worry about other things and just cultivate in peace."

"Right, Da Huang, no matter who comes to the door later, we won't pay attention. Master specifically mentioned this point just now."

"Alright, then we'll just cultivate in peace."

"Okay, let's disperse now. Don't talk too much, lest we wake Master."

At Nuwa's dojo, after discussing the Dao with Houtu and Fuxi, they each entered into quiet cultivation.

Nuwa thought to herself, "The expert said last time that in the Primordial World, humans are the foundation. Does this mean that the human race will be the protagonist of the Primordial Era in the future?"

"This is truly incredible. Besides the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans, there is no other race in the Primordial Era that can contend with the Witch and Demon races."

"Where did this Human Race come from?"

"I've spent the last few days searching all the ancient texts of the Primordial Era, and I haven't seen this term anywhere."

"Could it be that the esteemed expert is referring to something else?"

"Human, that's right, the esteemed expert said he was just an ordinary person."

"Could it be that the Human Race is the kind of being the esteemed expert is now?"

"But their origins are too ordinary. It will be extremely difficult for them to cultivate successfully, and they won't be able to contend with the Witch-Demon races at all."

"Never mind, I'll prepare myself recently and properly consult the esteemed expert. However, I must be tactful and absolutely cannot ask directly, as that would be equivalent to exposing the esteemed expert's identity."

With this thought, she immediately sent a telepathic message to Houtu and Fuxi.

"Brother, Houtu, I'm going to visit the esteemed expert these next few days. I'll let him know in advance and ask if I can bring two friends. If he agrees, that would naturally be wonderful."

"If the esteemed expert does not permit it, then consider it that your opportunity has not yet arrived. Please keep the esteemed expert's secret for me."

Houtu and Fuxi nodded: "Don't worry, of course."

"Good, please wait patiently for a few days while I prepare."

Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi, each with their own thoughts, soon noticed a small courtyard ahead.

Hongyun was very surprised. It seemed the Three Pure Ones were indeed honest and didn't lie to us.

Zhen Yuanzi, however, was very wary. With the Three Pure Ones being so blunt, he wondered what tricks they were up to.

The best-case scenario is that an opportunity awaits, but what if it's a trap?

Let me examine it carefully.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, remember to obey my commands and act according to my words. Do not act rashly!"

Zhen Yuanzi earnestly instructed again.
