Red Cloud: I'll Give Donghua a Great Opportunity

After Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun left West Kunlun, the two traveled leisurely on clouds.

"Brother Dao, you must control your mouth and your personality in the future, or you'll suffer for it sooner or later!" Zhen Yuanzi finally couldn't help but say.

Hong Yun maintained her nonchalant expression, took out her gourd, slowly took a sip, and then said gently:

"Brother Dao, don't be anxious or angry. Do you think I can't see through Zhunti's little schemes? I just don't bother arguing with him."

"Because those words were what I really wanted to say, and they were my opinions. So what if I was tricked? If I don't speak up because I'm afraid of being tricked, am I still Hong Yun?"

Zhen Yuanzi sighed helplessly, "Yes, if Ni Hong Yun really changes because of this, then you won't be yourself anymore."

Hong Yun laughed heartily, "Zhen Yuanzi truly understands me!"

Zhen Yuanzi sighed and said, "But today's events will indeed have a great impact on Tai Wei Daoist Taiwei. Di Jun is not a magnanimous person in this regard, and the karma you have created is considerable. It will be difficult to repay in the future!"

After hearing this, Hong Yun did not answer immediately. Instead, she changed her posture, lay on the clouds, and looked into the distance. The previous dazed look in her eyes was gone, and her eyes gradually filled with a sharp light.

Xu Xu said slowly, "Brother Dao, the East King Gong is not as simple as he seems. Do you really understand him?"

"Last time in the Western Region, although his Great Dao contained the Path of the Emperor, it was indeed not a method for proving the Dao. But what I see today is that his Path of the Emperor has been fully integrated, dignified, and omnipresent; all paths can become the Path of the Emperor."

"Even Di Jun can't do this, so how did the East King Gong manage to do it? What do you think he's trying to do?"

Zhen Yuanzi looked at Hong Yun in surprise. He couldn't understand how Hong Yun, who usually didn't care about anything, could be so insightful and see things so clearly, as if he were meeting her for the first time.

He asked in a deep voice, "What are you thinking?"

Hong Yun pondered for a moment, then chuckled softly, "I don't know. Actually, the last time I released the Primordial Violet Qi for him to comprehend, it was also as a test. I could sense that he was very interested, but also seemed indifferent."

"Brother Dao, you should know that the Primordial Violet Qi in my hand concerns the rules of the world's order, and is completely incompatible with my Great Dao, yet it was chosen by the Purple Sky Palace. I don't quite understand it!"

"But the moment the East King Gong Shen entered the Primordial Violet Qi, I could feel the pulsation of the Primordial Violet Qi, a feeling I had never experienced before."

At this point, Hong Yun gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "Don't laugh at me, fellow Daoist, but for a time, I even thought that I was able to obtain the Primordial Violet Qi because my teacher was plotting something."

"But then I thought about it and realized it was impossible. What virtue or ability do I, Hong Yun, possess to make my teacher use the Primordial Violet Qi to plot against me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi immediately used his supernatural powers to shield the Heavenly Secrets of the place, and hurriedly said, "Are you crazy? How dare you question your teacher like this? If your teacher really wanted to kill you, it would be as simple as lifting a finger. Why go through all this trouble?"

After Zhen Yuanzi finished speaking, he turned to stare at Hong Yun and said again, "Perhaps in this matter, the teacher is not wrong, and the choice of Primordial Violet Qi is not wrong either. The one who is wrong is you, fellow Daoist."

Have you ever considered that you might be on the wrong track?

"I know! I know that the path I am cultivating now does not align with my birth, but this is the path I have chosen," Hong Yun said calmly.

"I was born with the Innate Fire Virtue, and I possess the Huoyun Cave- Heaven, which boasts the most abundant imperial fortune in the world. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Primordial Violet Qi chose me."

"But Brother Dao, the Emperor's Path is not suitable for me. Even if I cultivate a path that is not suitable for me, I will never be able to attain enlightenment."

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Hong Yun, sighed helplessly, and ultimately said nothing.

He was afraid he might lose control and hit her if he said too much; those words were just too infuriating.

Whether it was your birth or your Heavenly Secret, Heaven had already fed you, Hong Yun, but you found the food unpalatable and smashed the bowl.

There's nothing anyone can do about it!

Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi remained silent, Hong Yun continued, "I can't fathom the thoughts of the East King Gong. On the surface, he doesn't compete or fight, focusing solely on the Dao and seemingly uninterested in anything, yet he always anticipates others' moves and his planning methods are extremely Gao Ming."

"Now, the Dragon and Phoenix Clans the Innate Three Races, have completely sided with the Purple Mansion. These two clans may not be the strongest, but the significance they represent is different."

"Many ancient clans, Innate Deities, and guests from the Purple Sky Palace are his subordinates."

"He has close relationships with Houtu and Zhu Rong of the Witch Clan, has a close relationship with Fuxi in the Heavenly Court, and is very close to Tongtian among the Three Pure Ones. Jieyin and Zhunti great favors for Jieyin and Zhunti of the Western Region, and is also a close friend of you, Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, and has even bestowed upon you the title of Ancestor of Earth Immortals."

"Upon closer examination, almost every prominent figure in the Primordial Wilderness today is connected to him."

"So what is he after?"

Zhen Yuanzi was taken aback when he heard these words. He had never calculated or cared about Donghua's connections, because their relationship was that of gentlemen. But now, thinking about it carefully, Donghua's connections were indeed extensive.

"So what you said today, was it a test or something else?"

Hong Yun had an inscrutable expression, completely unlike her previous dissolute image.

"It's a test, an examination of his character, and a trial!"

"Test?"

Hong Yun nodded and replied, "Yes, it is a test. If he passes my test, I will grant him an immense opportunity. If he fails, it means he is not destined for it!"

Zhen Yuanzi stared at Hong Yun in astonishment, as if he were meeting this old friend for the first time. He felt a sense of disbelief and a sudden sense of unfamiliarity.

Hong Yun smiled, patted Zhen Yuanzi on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice:

"I understand scheming and such, but I disdain and am too lazy to bother with it, yet it seems that many people treat me like a fool because of it."

"Others laugh at my madness, but I laugh at their ignorance!"

"I, Hong Yun, am devoted to the Dao, and my Dao is myself, is my heart. Where the heart leads, there the Dao lies."

Hong Yun turned to Zhen Yuanzi and asked, "Brother Dao, tell me, is my Dao wrong or right?"

Zhen Yuanzi chuckled and said easily, "Yes, you, Hong Yun, are still the same Hong Yun, you haven't changed at all."

"Now that you have attained enlightenment, what is there to right or wrong!"

At this point, Zhen Yuanzi waved his sleeve, performed a Daoist salute, and said, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on your enlightenment of the Great Dao! The Hun Yuan is within reach!"

Hong Yun smiled helplessly and said, "It's already slow enough. You all have long since comprehended your own Great Dao, while I only comprehended mine today. I'm already behind others, so what's there to be happy about?"

He then bowed and said, "Brother Dao, we have known each other since we took human form. On the Great Dao Path, we should support each other."

"The Way has no order of precedence; let us advance together!"

The two looked at each other and smiled!

"Brother Dao, you've been cultivating at Longevity Mountain for some time now. Why don't you come with me to stay at Huoyun Cave for a few days? Although I don't like that place, it's just as good as Longevity Mountain!"

Zhen Yuanzi glared at Hong Yun, and this time he couldn't help but want to take action again. He had never seen anyone so shameless.

Huoyun Cave is not just not bad, it's far superior!

Although his own Longevity Mountain was a blessed place, it was far inferior to Huoyun Cave.

Hong Yun laughed loudly and stepped forward, while Zhen Yuanzi smiled helplessly and followed behind!
