"Reclining high on the nine-layered clouds, the prayer mat realizes the truth of the Dao. Outside the heaven and earth Xuanhuang, I shall be the Supreme Teaching Lord. Pangu gave birth to Taiji, and the Yin and Yang and Four Symbols follow their cycles. The undisputed leader of Xuanmen, one Qi transformed into Hongjun."

"I am Hongjun. Today, I am Proving the Dao and Achieving Sainthood, and all living beings should celebrate. Sensing that the Great Wilderness is incomplete and the path of cultivation is cut off, I shall spread the Dao across the Great Wilderness, imparting the Dao three thousand times. Three thousand Yuanhui from now, I will lecture in the Chaos Purple Heaven Palace Beyond the Heavens. Those with fated opportunity may all come to listen to the Dao..."

A vast, profound, indifferent, and majestic maxim of the Heavenly Dao, which oppressed all living beings of heaven and earth, resounded throughout the Great Wilderness. Auspicious signs appeared one after another between heaven and earth, drawing back the curtain on a new era in the Great Wilderness.

...

"Three thousand Yuanhui? As expected, it is not three thousand years! But thinking about it, it is normal. The Great Wilderness never keeps track of years in the ordinary way; with one Yuanhui counted as one year, how long and ancient those years are! Three thousand Yuanhui equals three thousand years, no problem!"

On the prayer mat in a huge palace inside the Fire Cloud Cave, Hongyun wore a fiery-red cloud-patterned Daoist robe, stepped on flying-cloud boots, and possessed a tall, upright figure with a rosy, jade-like face. Young and handsome like a reader-Saint Lord, with his hair casually scattered, exuding a sense of carefree and unrestrained spirit, Hongyun knelt submissively on the ground due to the Saint's might, but his mind was extremely active.

After a long while, when the might of Hongjun Achieving Sainthood dissipated, he stood up, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Hongyun was originally a youth from Huaxia on Earth. Just because Pangu splitting open the sky caused a momentary Chaos and dislocation in the Chaotic Time and Space, and it so happened that the Chaos Pearl, the 'Primordial World pimp', took an axe, the power erupting at the time of its shattering pierced through the Chaotic Time and Space, causing a sliver of True Spirit of Hongyun—who had been sent flying by a dump truck—to reverse back through the Chaotic Time and Space and come to the Great Wilderness.

When he slowly woke up, through the Innate Inheritance, he learned that he had come to the Great Wilderness, becoming a genuine native of the Great Wilderness with clear and distinct Origins rather than an undocumented person of the Great Wilderness. He was the first red cloud born at the very beginning of heaven and earth, stained with the heart's hot blood of Pangu, and one of the first batch of Innate Gods and Demons nurtured by the Heavenly Dao.

That is to say, he was Ancestor Hongyun, the Innate Gods and Demons who would in the future hand over his great fated opportunity to others in the Purple Heaven Palace, thereby bearing the Karma of the Saint Position and achieving a series of outstanding and remarkable titles such as the Great Wilderness's biggest unlucky person and the Great Wilderness's good old man!

Regarding this, Hongyun did not wallow in self-pity, nor did he care.

In the past, he was just an ordinary person without too many attachments, living the life of a '996 blessing' worker who had zero blessings and was completely a 'corporate slave and beast' laborer. He didn't have very high pursuits. Since he was already innately immortal, what more could he ask for!

Therefore, for endless years, Hongyun had been cultivating with a clear mind and bitter toil. Until today, he could finally wait for the main show to start, which was not easy.

"Next is the stage for us, the first batch of Innate Gods and Demons nurtured by the Heavenly Dao. I am looking forward to it a bit. The destiny of Ancestor Hongyun will definitely change. I am not that good old man Ancestor Hongyun; I have plenty of strength and means." Hongyun looked toward the west, his gaze profound, and smiled with confidence.

Then, sitting cross-legged on the prayer mat, his thoughts turned: "This time, with the birth of the Saint, there is naturally boundless good fortune. Not only can it save tens of thousands of years of bitter cultivation effort, but I also feel that the opportunity for a breakthrough to the Late-stage Daluo Golden Immortal is here. I should take advantage of this still relatively ample time to make a breakthrough first."

"At the same time, I can refine a few more Restrictions on my treasures. That Divine Ability produced because of the Transmigration factor should also be successfully cultivated right around then, and I might need it by then."

"It is only a pity that for endless years, I haven't walked out of the Dao Field to travel across the Primordial Land, search for various treasures and spiritual materials, nor have I visited and befriended that Ancestor of the Earth Immortals Zhen Yuanzi. Furthermore, many things like continuously wearing away Pangu's benevolent thoughts and intentionally deducing cultivation dharma methods are probably hard to completely perfect, which is somewhat regrettable."

Hongyun's thoughts were in disarray, but he gradually closed his eyes slightly. Between inhalation and exhalation, the rain-like, rich Innate Spiritual Qi surged over, and he slowly entered meditation for cultivation.

Looking at him now, floating above Hongyun's head was a chaotic, jade-like Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the chaos primordial qi bead, which dropped strands of special Chaos Qi for him to absorb and refine. Resting horizontally across his lap was a Xuanhuang gold-tinted Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler, which protected his mind and spirit as he comprehended the profound mysteries of the Dao.

These two treasures were both closely related to Hongyun's Transmigration.

The chaos primordial qi bead was transformed from a trace of Chaos Origin of that Chaos World inside after the Chaos Pearl shattered. It combined offense and defense, and possessed the ability to endlessly derive Hunyuan vitality.

This Chaos Origin Qi was actually a layer of Chaos Qi higher in energy level than Innate Spiritual Qi, but because of the chaos primordial qi bead, it lost its violent, chaotic, terrifying, and dangerous nature of devouring and assimilating everything. Instead, it became incomparably gentle, allowing anyone to easily absorb and refine it.

It was just that because of this, it lacked the additional effects of the original Chaos Qi, such as tempering and strengthening the physical body and Primordial Spirit. It could be considered a gain and loss, but its flaws did not obscure its virtues, and it was extremely heaven-defying.

Relying on this heaven-defying ability of the chaos primordial qi bead, Hongyun's cultivation was able to reach its current level; otherwise, there would still be a considerable distance from breaking through to the Late-stage Daluo Golden Immortal.

As for the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler, ever since Hongyun's consciousness awoke and he gradually refined this treasure, he vaguely knew that this treasure was a kind of compensation and an item to settle Karma with Pangu.

It was simply because when Hongyun Transmigrated, he carried a torrent of Human Dao Qi of unknown time and space, which attracted and triggered a large number of Innate treasures born and nurtured at the beginning of heaven and earth that had various connections with the Human Dao. They all flew towards Hongyun, wishing to throw themselves into his embrace.

Fortunately, at that time, heaven and earth had just opened, and the Heavenly Dao was still slowly being nurtured and formed. The Great Dao was above, operating the Primordial World, and the Power of Pangus Great Dao filled the heaven and earth, suppressing the entire Primordial World.

Therefore, a supreme might naturally arose to suppress everything. In the end, Hongyun did not obtain these treasures, and thus no major changes occurred.

At the same time, the supreme might also stripped that torrent of Human Dao Qi of unknown time and space from Hongyun's main body, leaving no hidden dangers.

However, doing so caused Hongyun to lose and cut off the fated opportunity of owning a large amount of Innate treasures. Coupled with the fact that the fundamental reason for Hongyun's Transmigration was caused by Pangu, there was inherently a karmic entanglement at the level of the Great Dao within this.

Therefore, the Great Dao was impartial, using the Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler—which originally had an unclear affinity and was condensed from ten percent of the Heaven-Opening Merit combined with the heaven-opening Xuanhuang Qi—as compensation to sever this Karma.

Although Hongyun was relatively satisfied with this, sometimes thinking about these things would still make his heart ache a little, and he would often act out like a drama queen, muttering: "Once upon a time, a pile of Innate treasures was placed before me, but I didn't have the ability to possess them. When I lost them, I felt endless regret. Nothing in the Great Wilderness is more painful than this."

"If Heaven could give me the ability to do it all over again, I would sincerely say three words to that pile of treasures: I want them all. If I must add a time limit to this need, I hope it is hundreds of millions of years!"

Of course, these were just jokes, and the Great Dao was impartial; it didn't push things to absolute extremes.

For example, that torrent of Human Dao Qi of unknown time and space, although forcibly stripped from Hongyun's main body, did not disperse just like that. Instead, it transformed into a profound Innate Origin, slowly evolving into an Innate Divine Ability of Hongyun.

It's just that this Innate Divine Ability required the cultivation of a Daluo Golden Immortal to comprehend and cultivate, which shows how difficult it was.

Ever since Hongyun cultivated for endless years and completed his Transformation into the world, the reason why he had not walked out of the Fire Cloud Cave in the subsequent long years, nor sought out various treasures like protagonists in many Great Wilderness novels, nor meddled in the Dragon-Han Tribulation, nor fought in the Dao-Demon War, was partly to comprehend and cultivate this Divine Ability, and it was still the same now.

Therefore, time passed leisurely, and in the blink of an eye, there wasn't much time left before the three thousand Yuanhui.

One day, Hongyun's body suddenly trembled, and the aura of the Late-stage Daluo Golden Immortal that he had broken through to long ago emanated. A profound golden light then erupted from between his eyebrows.

Immediately after, Hongyun opened his eyes, smiled broadly, and bowed to that profound golden light, saying: "Hongyun greets..."
