Hongjun asks the way, can't you fool him?

Let's not mention the disheveled Kun Peng.

After Ling Tian had dealt with Kun Peng.

He immediately turned his head and returned to the Primordial World.

Just kidding.

Ling Tian hadn't had nearly enough fun yet!

This trip.

Ling Tian had rushed to the North Sea at the fastest speed to complete the chosen mission.

This was how he was able to appear at the critical moment and rescue Kun Peng.

Now that the mission was complete.

Ling Tian naturally had to travel properly throughout the Primordial World.

Ling Tian, however, did not know...

Hongjun, far away in Zixiao Palace, happened to be ending his long seclusion at this very moment.

He was also preparing to come out of seclusion and travel the Primordial World.

The Primordial World does not keep track of years.

Ling Tian, who had arrived in the Primordial World.

Was like a fish in the ocean, swimming freely.

Over the years.

Ling Tian's eyes had been greatly opened.

Heavenly materials and earthly treasures, rare and exotic beasts, endless races...

It was simply a dazzling array of flowers that made one's eyes dizzy.

If not for Ling Tian's firm Dao heart, he might have truly become completely intoxicated.

However, what made Ling Tian feel most deeply was the Primordial Beings' pursuit of the Dao.

From Earth Immortals to Heavenly Immortals.

Up to Grand Unity Golden Immortals and Primordial Golden Immortals.

Almost all beings placed cultivation as their top priority.

During these years of travel.

Ling Tian's Dao heart had also continuously become more refined.

Ling Tian, however, did not know...

Unknowingly.

Ling Tian had condensed what countless Primordial Beings dreamed of...

The Heart of the Great Dao!

Although the Heart of the Great Dao could not immediately increase Ling Tian's combat power and cultivation.

But with the existence of the Heart of the Great Dao.

Ling Tian would be able to completely eliminate the disturbance of inner demons in the future.

Allowing Ling Tian to walk a smoother path in his cultivation journey.

This was an unexpected surprise.

Thus.

Ling Tian was immersed in this profound state, continuously traveling through the Primordial World.

Until one day, Ling Tian arrived at the edge of a cliff.

Ling Tian seemed to not feel the passage of time, gazing at the rolling sea of clouds before him, lost in thought.

Sun rose and set, day and night rotated.

At some unknown time.

A Daoist priest, dressed in a Daoist robe and holding a bamboo staff, came to Ling Tian's side and said softly.

"May I ask what little friend is doing?"

"Who?"

Hearing this voice.

Ling Tian immediately snapped out of that state, his eyes filled with vigilance.

At this moment.

The Heart of the Great Dao trembled slightly.

Ling Tian's Dao heart quickly returned to calm.

He had been too nervous just now.

Let alone that what was before him was just an old man.

Even if the Ancestral Dragon were to pursue him.

So what?

He was merely a clone.

Thinking of this, Ling Tian revealed a faint smile.

"Esteemed old man, I was merely lost in thought about the path of cultivation just now."

"Oh?"

Hearing Ling Tian's reply.

A look of interest appeared in the old man's eyes.

And when the old man carefully sensed Ling Tian's cultivation, the interest in his eyes deepened.

"I didn't expect a young friend like you to have such cultivation at such a young age. This old Daoist is impressed."

He paused.

The old man spoke again.

"May I ask what path of cultivation you were contemplating?"

Ling Tian did not hide anything and replied, "I was contemplating the method to become a Saint."

The method to become a Saint?

Ling Tian's words were like a thunderclap.

The old man's normally placid expression instantly changed, showing a rare loss of composure.

After a moment of silence.

The old man looked at Ling Tian with burning eyes, cupped his hands, and said.

"May I ask, young friend, what is the method to become a Saint?"

"Could you tell this old Daoist?"

Tell you?

Upon hearing this.

A hint of amusement flashed in Ling Tian's eyes.

This old man was truly impolite.

However, Ling Tian had nothing to hide, and was about to speak.

But at this very moment.

Ling Tian's body trembled, and he heard the long-lost system voice...

[Beep!]

[Detected Hongjun asking the host a question, please choose...]

[Choice 1: Sit and discuss the Dao with Hongjun, reward: Heaven-Suppressing Coffin, Hongjun's favor.]

[Choice 2: Refuse to discuss the Dao with Hongjun, reward: one strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi, gain Hongjun's animosity.]

Upon hearing the system's prompt.

Ling Tian's entire body shook.

No matter how much his inner Heart of the Great Dao trembled, it could not quell the shock in his heart.

What a coincidence!

His first time traveling in the Primordial World, and he encountered Hongjun?

This was the future Dao Ancestor, the strongest Saint!

Also, in the original work, Ling Tian was the final victor of the Dragon-Han Tribulation, the period he was currently in.

Ling Tian never expected.

He would actually meet Hongjun here.

This was simply too bizarre!

"Could it be the Heavenly Dao's scheme?"

Ling Tian suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

On the other side.

The old Daoist.

It seemed Hongjun had also sensed Ling Tian's astonishment.

However, Hongjun mistakenly thought Ling Tian was surprised by his words.

Hongjun's gaze was indifferent.

He was merely somewhat interested in Ling Tian's words.

It wouldn't matter if Ling Tian was unwilling to speak.

After all.

Hongjun had already created the Method to Sever Three Corpses and Attain Sainthood.

This was different from cultivating laws to achieve Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Although the Method to Sever Three Corpses and Attain Sainthood only achieved a Heavenly Dao Saint.

Its difficulty was far, far lower than achieving Sainthood through laws.

This was also Hongjun's greatest trump card.

It was also the fundamental reason why Hongjun was revered as the Dao Ancestor in later generations.

"Young friend, if you are unwilling to speak, it is also fine."

Looking at Ling Tian's conflicted expression.

Hongjun smiled faintly, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

"Heh!"

Hearing Hongjun's words, Ling Tian sneered inwardly.

Hongjun, despite his seemingly righteous appearance, was the most devious existence in the Primordial World.

This was something.

Others might not know.

But how could Ling Tian not know?

The Witch-Demon Tribulation and the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation in later generations originated from this Hongjun before him.

This seemingly amiable old man was definitely someone with a ruthless hand and an even blacker heart.

However, Ling Tian's current greatest enemy was Rahu.

And Hongjun was also Rahu's enemy.

An enemy's enemy is a friend.

Ling Tian would naturally not refuse a friend's request.

Moreover, Ling Tian had thought of a brilliant plan...

That was the Great Art of Deception!

Truth mixed with falsehood, reality intertwined with illusion.

Ling Tian didn't believe he couldn't fool Hongjun!

With this thought.

Ling Tian no longer hesitated and immediately shouted in his heart.

"System, I choose one!"

After making his choice.

Ling Tian's gaze towards Hongjun suddenly changed, becoming incredibly warm.

His face was also filled with a cordial smile.

"Esteemed elder, you wish to ask me the method to attain Sainthood, correct?"

"No problem!"

"Come, come, let's sit and talk, no need to rush."

As he spoke.

Ling Tian's divine sense moved.

He conjured a stone table, stone chairs, spiritual tea, and spiritual fruits on the cliff edge...

He appeared to be hosting a distinguished guest.

Extremely enthusiastic.

Looking at Ling Tian's series of actions.

Hongjun was dumbfounded!

Despite having cultivated for countless years and considering himself knowledgeable.

He had never seen a being like Ling Tian whose expression could change so rapidly.

Could it be that this being recognized him?

But he had always kept a low profile and hadn't traveled the Primordial World in years.

There was no reason for them to recognize him!

Hongjun couldn't help but start calculating.

But the result of his calculation made Hongjun's pupils contract sharply.

He actually couldn't calculate anything at all...

This was unscientific!
