The moment Yuan Yi opened her eyes, she became the second Ginseng Fruit Tree in the Great Wilderness. Faced with three fatal conditions – a Heavenly Dao loophole, lingering karm...
Chapter 33: Hongjun Returns to the Nine Heavens - The Thirty-Third Day of Creating the Game...
It is important to know that the first thing Hongjun did after becoming a saint was to hold the Hongjun Preaching Conference, which recruited three thousand disciples. He even took in six disciples based on the futon. These six disciples were all extraordinary and would become saints in the future.
The speaker was the first sage of the primordial world, and the audience consisted of the top three thousand powerful beings of the primordial world. Those who were accepted as disciples by the speaker would also become sages in the future.
One can imagine how large this ancient sermon was, how heavy the responsibility was, and how much of a topic it generated.
As the game's creator, Yuan Yi, by pursuing the topic and traffic of the prehistoric era, had already laid out the general outline of the game when Hongjun became a saint.
Of course, if you want to enjoy the spoils, you can't forget to share with the real big shots who provided these channels. After all, cooperation and mutual benefit are the only way for the game to continue in the long run.
Yuan Yi: "This game is designed specifically for preaching. Ordinary preaching requires first recruiting disciples to pass on the teachings generation after generation before it can spread across the vast land."
"But this game uses an online card-drawing professional teaching function. As long as the senior inputs the great Dao he wants to tell into it, the primordial beings who draw the corresponding card in the future can repeatedly comprehend it."
"The complicated steps that normally require explaining to each disciple can be covered in just one explanation once this game is promoted, making it an essential tool for teaching and spreading the great Dao."
When speaking to the game's future investors, Yuan Yi was animated and forceful, directly targeting Hong Jun's personal pain points in the promotion.
Hongjun had never seen this kind of tactic before, and he was indeed moved by Yuan Yi's words.
After all, although He Dao became the Dao Ancestor and bore the heavy responsibility of imparting the three thousand Great Daos and leading the prehistoric world, he had been cultivating in seclusion in the mountains since his birth and had no real experience in imparting the Great Daos.
Now, to understand Yuan Yi's meaning, one only needs to input the card image, and all beings in the primordial world can hear him preach. Isn't that time-saving and convenient?
Seeing that Hongjun's expression had eased slightly, Yuanyi changed the subject: "After all, this is an online game, and it can only impart some fragments to the beings of the prehistoric world. But given your abilities, even a few words are enough to benefit people."
"This game can only be used for basic promotion of the Great Dao. If you want to explain the Great Dao in depth, you still need to teach in real offline classes."
Hongjun's idea of teaching the Three Thousand Great Daos solely through this game failed, but considering that the game could help promote the Three Thousand Great Daos, he still agreed to the game.
"Can."
Well then, he will continue teaching at Zixiao Palace according to fate, since he still has five master-disciple relationships to settle.
Hongjun glanced at Tongtian and saw that Tongtian had already obtained a test version of the half-finished game and was enthusiastically drawing from the unlimited card pool, but it would take a long time to get a golden Heavenly Grade card.
A smile flashed across Hongjun's face. It would be a good thing to be able to play with him outside the Nine Heavens in the future.
Now that he is a Dao Ancestor, blessed by the Heavenly Dao, he will definitely be able to draw the card he wants before Tongtian.
After receiving Hongjun's approval, Yuan Yi instantly switched from being a game promoter to a friend and junior.
Without any hesitation, she shoved the game formation into Hongjun's hand: "Senior can try to input your understanding of the Dao into the card. In the future, you will be in a class of your own, and anything that can be associated with you will be considered a Heavenly Grade! The probability of getting a top-grade card is only one in ten thousand of a Heavenly Grade card!"
Tongtian suddenly raised his head: "One in ten thousand!" When will it be able to be extracted?
Yuan Yi rolled her eyes at him: "Senior is your master. If you want to hear your master's teachings, you can just ask him directly. You don't have to draw a top-tier card like us to hear his teachings."
That's right. The thought that he could learn the true meaning of the cards that everyone in the prehistoric world had painstakingly drawn over thousands of years by chatting with his master made Tongtian feel like he had made a profit.
Without hesitation, he increased the difficulty for the others: "One in ten thousand is still too conservative. This is my master's teaching of one in a million."
This is a unique record of the Dao Ancestor's sermons, a one-of-a-kind record in heaven and earth. I believe other players of the prehistoric world will understand why the difficulty has been increased, after all, he is the master's only disciple.
Seeing that Tongtian Yuanyi was trying to dig a hole for himself, he ultimately showed mercy and didn't manipulate the probabilities. Whether seeing other players' screen recordings and actually drawing the same card is the same thing, Tongtian will understand once the game officially launches.
Yuan Yi buried his mischievousness in his heart and decided to repeat this sentence verbatim when the Tongtian Card-Drawing Crash happened later.
"However, if the card art was recorded by a senior, there's no need to draw it again; it will appear directly in the senior's account." After all, he is the future star of the game, so Yuan Yi restrained his usual wicked sense of humor and did not implement the salary recovery plan.
She smiled and added one last point: "When seniors record their cards, they can choose the preaching mode, which can simulate the scene of lecturing to many disciples. After the lecture, they can also replay their lecture. I've tried it, and it's very useful."
This feature was designed specifically for Hongjun, since this taciturn senior would be giving his first lecture in a large classroom with three thousand people. Although there shouldn't be any problems in theory, it's always good to familiarize yourself with it beforehand.
"Good." Hongjun was very satisfied with this function. He fluttered his sleeves and stuffed the game given to him by Yuanyi into his bag.
After several exchanges, the sun rose in the sky and the clouds turned pink, signaling the time for Hongjun to depart.
Hongjun looked at his two young friends again: "I have attained the Dao, and I cannot stay in the Primordial World for long. In the future, I will reside outside the Nine Heavens and will not enter the Primordial World."
The implication that they would never meet again was palpable. Tongtian accepted the jade slip from Hongjun with both hands, his eyes slightly reddening.
"Your disciple will certainly cultivate diligently and will not tarnish your master's reputation."
Yuan Yi saw that the two looked as if they were facing a life-or-death separation, but he felt it was unnecessary. After they preached at Zixiao Palace and even after becoming saints, wouldn't you two be able to see each other whenever you wanted?
Yuan Yi immediately waved to Hongjun in mid-air: "Senior, I have already left you a message in the game. Remember to team up for battles in the future."
In an instant, the melodramatic atmosphere of a life-or-death separation vanished.
Tongtian stuffed the jade slip into his pocket and revealed a big smile: "That's right, Master, remember to call your disciple when you record card art in the future. I also want to try out how amazing top-grade card art is."
Yuan Yi didn't stand on ceremony and made a megaphone shape with his hand: "Senior, please remember to help me promote the game. I still need to do prenatal education for my disciple."
So this is what it feels like to become a saint and enter the Nine Heavens? I almost laughed, but also felt a warm feeling. This was the first time Hongjun had ever felt this way.
He poked the Jade Disc of Creation in his dantian, but received no response. So he nodded to his two young friends, sensing that they would meet again someday.
When Hongjun went to the outer reaches of the Nine Heavens and sat in the Zixiao Palace, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth roared, and all living beings in the primordial world felt the majesty of the sage and bowed in the direction of the Nine Heavens.
"I am Hongjun, now the Dao Ancestor. A hundred years from now, I will preach the Three Thousand Great Daos in the Zixiao Palace outside the Nine Heavens. Anyone who can break through the Nine Heavens' fierce winds and reach my palace gates will be able to hear the Dao."
All living beings in the primordial world were overjoyed upon hearing this, and upon looking towards the west, they saw people riding magical artifacts flying towards the sky.
Many invitations have appeared in the game chat interface of "Farm Battle" to go to the Nine Heavens to listen to the Taoist Ancestor's lecture.
Following the sequence of events from his memory, Yuan Yi marked the conflict between Dao and Demon, and then the Dao Ancestor preached at Zixiao Palace.
However, the Ninefold Gale Wind is not a place that a lowly cultivator like her can venture into. If she wants to go there, she will have to find another way.
But let's put that aside for now. What's extremely urgent right now is that Zhen Yuanzi discovered his younger sister wasn't at Wuzhuang Temple after leaving seclusion, and that he was using the Earth Book to search for the earth's veins and bombarding Yuan Yi with countless messages.
Yuan Yi, who had secretly left home to deal with the western ley lines and become entangled in the conflict between the Dao and Demonic factions, which left a deep-seated hatred among the three races, and who had also taken on two disciples, wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and immediately blocked all information about the ley lines with a single click.
And replied: "I'm traveling, this place is safe, I'll be right back."
Tongtian, just three steps away, was facing the same predicament. The shielded Yuanshi kept sending messages with a red exclamation mark above his head, and even the usually indifferent Laozi urged him to return quickly.
Tongtian made a quick decision: "I'll send you back to Wuzhuang Temple first, and then I'll fly back to Kunlun on my sword."
Yuan Yi touched the bluish-purple hairpin on her head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Riding a horse is still a bit slow. I have the hairpin given to me by my senior for protection. Why don't you take me to try flying on a sword?"
"good."
At this point, Tongtian had unconditionally trusted Yuanyi. When she said she could control a sword, Tongtian immediately stepped onto the Azure Lotus Sword, pulled Yuanyi onto the sword, and flew towards the direction of Wuzhuang Temple.
In the sky, some people were already flying towards the outer heavens with brute force, just like flying kites, but the sight of Tongtian riding a sword was indeed a sight never before seen.
He stood on his sword and flew straight forward, the sword leaving a white trail in the sky. After the clouds cleared, the ground beneath his feet changed.
Although he could sense the earth's veins even from the sky with the hairpin on his person, Yuan Yi dared not lower his head at this moment. He had anticipated this and added several immobilization formations to himself during the gap when he drew his sword.
But faced with Tongtian's all-out flight speed, even though he was prepared, Yuan Yi was dizzy and disoriented, no longer knowing what the world was like.
Based solely on his senses of the farms in various places, he judged that he was getting closer and closer to Wuzhuang Temple.
Yuan Yi's body trembled slightly. She gripped Tongtian's shoulders tightly with both hands, her lips pressed together as if afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would swallow a mouthful of air.
When they sensed that the formation below was getting denser and denser, and they were less than 10,000 miles away from Wuzhuang Temple.
Yuan Yi suddenly felt something was wrong; as someone with a vein in the earth, her intuition was always very accurate.
She used both hands to push forward, leaning her body forward and bumping her head directly into Tongtian's back, shouting, "Stop, Tongtian!"
Tongtian immediately stopped the Azure Lotus Sword, but the sudden stop still gave Yuan Yi a mouthful of wind, which even messed up his hair.
"Put me down right now, but don't let me touch the ground. Just before I hit the ground, throw me down." Yuan Yi's hair stood on end. This familiar sense of oppression reminded her of a hundred years ago.
"You drop me off and go back to Kunlun first. Don't worry about anything else. I'll explain everything to you in the game."
If she doesn't get lost soon, it will be too late. Her brother is almost here. She can still tell the difference between running away from home and eloping.
"Alright." Sensing Yuan Yi's urgency, Tongtian descended, but before even passing through the clouds, he noticed that Yuan Yi had closed his eyes and jumped down on his own initiative.
"Run!"

Author's Note: Yuan Yi: Oh no, this familiar sense of oppression... I hope I'm not really going to be turned into a pancake! [fear]
