Hongyun Offers Incense

The Primordial World is vast and boundless.

Old Ancestor Hongyun traveled through the Primordial World, and one day, he arrived at an unnamed mountain range.

This mountain range covered an incredibly vast area, stretching far beyond what the eye could see.

The mountain was lush and verdant, filled with dense vegetation.

Immortal Cranes could be seen dancing between the peaks, while Spirit Beasts wandered about freely.

After walking for a short while, he saw a very ancient-looking structure ahead.

The building did not look large, appearing much like a temple.

In front of the temple gates, many Mountain Spirits and Wild Monsters were coming and going.

"This temple is truly miraculous! After offering incense here, my cultivation base actually improved!" one spirit creature said excitedly.

"Before I had even Awakened Intelligence, I stumbled into this temple by accident. I stayed here for a day, and to my surprise, I Awakened Intelligence!" another spirit creature said happily.

"This temple is simply magical! I come here to offer incense every single day now!"

Hongyun watched them and overheard their conversation.

Is this temple really that miraculous?

Without realizing it, Hongyun walked to the exterior of the temple.

"Fellow Daoist, are you also here to offer incense at this temple?" a spirit creature asked upon seeing Hongyun.

"This temple is very effective! You won't regret offering incense here!" another spirit creature added.

Hongyun looked at the temple; it was plain and unadorned, appearing to have nothing special about it.

The Mountain Spirits and Wild Monsters coming here to offer incense all looked extremely devout.

Hongyun thought for a moment; since he had nothing better to do, there was no harm in going inside to take a look, so he stepped forward and entered.

Walking into the temple, he felt the scene inside was very tranquil, and it made one feel exceptionally calm.

The spiritual energy within the temple was very dense, far richer than the energy outside.

For some reason, upon arriving in this temple, one felt a profound sense of inner peace; even if one did not intend to be calm, their heart would involuntarily settle down.

Coming into this temple made it impossible for anyone to harbor any ill intentions; the only thing one felt was respect for the temple.

Even though Hongyun was a mighty figure, after arriving at this temple, he felt a sense of reverence arise in his heart, a feeling he did not even notice himself.

The spirit creatures were offering incense, and shortly after, Hongyun took three sticks of incense from the side and went to offer them as well.

The spirit creatures did not know Hongyun's identity, nor did they think anything of it.

After all, upon entering this temple, the primary thought was one of respect; no one had the mind or the inclination to think about anything else.

After offering their incense, the spirit creatures left one after another.

Hongyun held the three sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner on the altar.

There was no deity enshrined here, only a wooden tablet with the words: Qingyi Mountain God.

This was a Mountain God Temple.

Inside the inner space of the Mountain God Temple, however, was an entirely different world.

It was filled with the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers, resembling a supreme Blessed Land.

Qin Yun was there now, sitting by the edge of a pond, quietly fishing.

At this moment, a voice rang out in Qin Yun's mind.

[Ding! Detected a Person of Great Luck offering incense. Triggered a ten-thousand-fold critical reward. Host has received 500,000 Incense Value!]

Hearing this sound, Qin Yun found it hard to believe for a moment.

Qin Yun had been in this world for ten years, and in those ten years, the total Incense Value he had accumulated was barely 100,000 points.

He never expected that today, he would suddenly receive 500,000 Incense Value in one go...

Qin Yun waved his hand in front of him, and the interior of the temple appeared before his eyes.

Inside the temple, there was a young Daoist dressed in red robes, looking every bit the immortal with his transcendent air.

Qin Yun looked at this Daoist, and information about him surfaced in his mind.

This Daoist was named Hongyun, the first red cloud to take form in the Primordial World, possessing an extremely profound foundation.

Seeing this information, Qin Yun began to doubt reality for a moment.

This... this is Hongyun?

Is this the Old Ancestor Hongyun from the Primordial World?

No way! Absolutely not!

Qin Yun knew he was in the Primordial World, but he never expected that the great Primordial figure, Old Ancestor Hongyun, would actually come to offer incense to him...

This... this is just too magical!

[Ding! Due to the Person of Great Luck offering incense, a special reward has been triggered. Host has obtained the cultivation technique: Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.]

[Host has obtained three Origin of the Great Dao Law of Clouds!]

The system's voice rang out once more, and Qin Yun was quite shocked.

Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, three Origin of the Great Dao Law of Clouds...

These were all incredible treasures!

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique was the Mystic Gate's method for physical cultivation, passed down by Dao Ancestor Hongjun to the Three Pure Ones.

This technique focused primarily on the physical body and was one of the supreme cultivation methods in the Primordial World, making it naturally invaluable.

The Law Origin could assist a cultivator in comprehending the corresponding Great Dao Laws, which was also extremely precious!

Hongyun was still inside the temple, preparing to leave.

Seeing him about to depart, Qin Yun's thoughts stirred. The next moment, Hongyun vanished from the temple and arrived within this inner space.

Qin Yun was the master of this temple, as well as the master of this inner space.

Within this temple, Qin Yun held absolute authority; this was a power bestowed upon him by the system.

Upon entering this temple, even a Saint would be restricted by the Rules of the temple.

The Rules of this temple dictated that once inside, one's heart would calm, and one would naturally feel a sense of reverence toward the temple.

Furthermore, Qin Yun could inspect the profiles of those who entered the temple and could summon them into this inner space.

Moreover, here, Qin Yun was effectively an invincible existence; no one could harm him.

Hongyun found himself inexplicably transported into this inner space, and for a moment, he was completely bewildered.

What was happening?

He had clearly been inside a temple; how had he suddenly arrived in a Blessed Land?

Here, birds sang and flowers bloomed in a peaceful, harmonious scene, much like a paradise hidden from the world.

However, where was this place?

"Fellow Daoist, greetings!" Qin Yun looked at Hongyun and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Hongyun noticed Qin Yun.

Qin Yun was sitting by the pond fishing, dressed in a light cyan robe, his features handsome and refined, looking every bit like a graceful young nobleman.

"You... who are you?" Hongyun asked.

"I am the Qingyi Mountain God," Qin Yun replied.

Qingyi Mountain God... the very same Qingyi Mountain God worshipped inside the temple?

Hongyun looked at Qin Yun in disbelief, while Qin Yun remained seated by the pond, fishing quietly.

Hongyun tried to discern Qin Yun's true depth, but no matter how he looked, he could see nothing.

This was the temple's inner space, and Qin Yun was its master. Anyone who arrived here would be unable to probe Qin Yun's background, even if they were a Saint.

Unable to see through him, Hongyun instead felt that Qin Yun was incredibly mysterious and unfathomable.

Could it be that this Qingyi Mountain God was a peerless expert living in seclusion?

"You..." Hongyun was somewhat dumbfounded, at a loss for words for a moment.
