Finally, Fuxi and Nuwa decided to go together with Ye Chuanze to the Purple Cloud Palace outside the Thirty-Three Heavens to listen to Hongjun's teachings. Ye Chuanze would never narcissistically think that he had convinced them; based on his understanding of them, it was clear that Fuxi and Nuwa thought it was a free opportunity to hear Dao Law, and there was no loss in going, so why not? Ye Chuanze deeply felt that this idea was likely shared by more than just Fuxi and Nuwa; sometimes, the Primordial immortals could be quite troublesome.
In any case, Ye Chuanze ultimately got his wish and went with Fuxi and Nuwa to the Purple Cloud Palace outside the Thirty-Three Heavens to attend the lecture by the renowned master.
Ye Chuanze shrank in size, becoming a palm-sized Black Lotus resting on Fuxi's white-clad shoulder. Nuwa slightly turned her head and glanced at the quiet Black Lotus on Fuxi's shoulder, its layers of black petals resembling jade, shimmering with flowing purple-black light, looking beautiful and enchanting. Unable to resist, Nuwa said, " Ye Chuanze, have you considered becoming a flower and adorning my hair?"
"No." Ye Chuanze firmly refused without room for negotiation. "Men and women should not be close!"
Nuwa choked slightly and retorted angrily, "So it's acceptable for men to be close to each other?"
Inside the Twelfth-Rank Black Lotus, Ye Chuanze looked at her with disdain. "Lack of culture is truly frightening!"
"..." Nuwa.
In a certain sense, Nuwa was indeed onto something. Since ancient times, those who engage in same-sex relationships have been prevalent; if one does not engage in such relationships, they are not part of that world. Under the Brokeback Mountain, lilies bloom; one pair of lilies represents one pair of same-sex lovers.
As for the Purple Cloud Palace, it lies outside the Thirty-Three Heavens. To reach the Purple Cloud Palace, one must first pass through the Thirty-Three Heavens. This is no simple task; each layer of the Thirty-Three Heavens is filled with chaotic energy raging fiercely, with chilling winds swirling around like sharp blades capable of penetrating an immortal's defenses and injuring their body. Not to mention the numerous dangers hidden within the miasma and fog, where threats lurk everywhere. The Thirty-Three Heavens are fraught with peril; each ascent through a layer increases the danger.
Fuxi and Nuwa thought to themselves that regardless of whether Hongjun Daoist was truly as unfathomable as Ye Chuanze claimed, just the fact that he could establish a Daoist temple outside the Thirty-Three Heavens showed his extraordinary courage and strength.
As Ye Chuanze accompanied Fuxi and Nuwa toward the Purple Cloud Palace outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, many Primordial immortals also rushed from all directions to attend the lecture at the Purple Cloud Palace. Indeed, many shared Ye Chuanze's sentiment—free teachings were available; why not listen when it costs nothing? A small number came purely out of curiosity to join in on the excitement; in short, there were probably very few immortals who genuinely came with sincere intentions to listen.
This cannot be blamed on them; it is solely because Hongjun has been too low-key. Few among today's Primordial immortals know him; those who do are either dead or have withdrawn from society. It’s akin to a complete stranger suddenly standing before you claiming they are impressive and inviting you to study under them! More importantly, this person is entirely unknown and has just appeared out of nowhere. No normal person would believe such a claim; they would either think it’s a scam or that this person is delusional.
Thus, when Fuxi, Nuwa, and Ye Chuanze arrived at the Purple Cloud Palace, they found the vast palace eerily quiet with hardly anyone present. They only saw the Three Pure Ones seated on the Lotus Platform ahead alongside Hongyun Daoist dressed in simple plain robes. Ye Chuanze and Fuxi were taken aback; they did not expect that among those who arrived earliest would be the typically proud Three Pure Ones.
The Three Pure Ones are renowned in the Primordial realm, or perhaps infamous? The three brothers possess formidable skills, and what is even rarer is their deep bond, united as one. This truly embodies the saying that when brothers work together, their strength can cut through metal. If one were to ask who in the Primordial realm is least desirable to provoke, the Three Pure Ones would undoubtedly top the list. Offending one of them means offending all three. What’s more frustrating is that any one of these brothers is not to be trifled with; dealing with just one is already challenging enough, and facing all three together would leave you wishing for a swift end.
The Three Pure Ones are not only famous but also carry an air of arrogance and disdain for the mundane world. They are transformed from the Primordial Spirit of Pangu the Great and have always prided themselves on being the true descendants of Pangu, believing their origins to be legitimate while dismissing other immortals of less noble birth. Ah… the superiority complex of those damned nobles! They deserve to be hunted down and burned daily.
In this Primordial realm, it is not just the Three Pure Ones who are arrogant; every immortal here is born from extraordinary spiritual beings. You may be proud, but I am prouder. Over time, the Three Pure Ones have gradually isolated themselves from many other immortals in the Primordial realm, sitting high above on their cloud, becoming a solitary flower on a steep cliff… If placed in modern terms, they could easily be described as goddesses!
As someone of illegitimate birth with a dark and cruel lineage suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, Ye Chuanze has cursed the Three Pure Ones in his heart more than once. Ah! That solitary flower growing on a cliff! It deserves to be picked and trampled! That lofty and pure beauty, that “goddess”! It deserves to be beaten into a state of paralysis. Do not underestimate a man's jealousy; the Real Person's Three Pure Ones are undoubtedly envied and hated by Ye Chuanze.
It was already shocking enough for the ever-arrogant Three Pure Ones to come to Purple Cloud Palace to listen to an unknown Daoist preach, but what was even more unexpected was that they were among the first to arrive, occupying half of the available seats.
Inside the main hall of Purple Cloud Palace, there were seven Lotus Platforms arranged. One Lotus Platform was placed at the very center at the top, clearly designated for Hongjun Daoist. Below it, there were two rows with three Lotus Platforms each, making up a total of seven. Excluding Hongjun Daoist's platform, each of the Three Pure Ones occupied one platform, leaving only three Lotus Platforms remaining.
Hongyun Daoist, who entered Purple Cloud Palace first, casually chose one of the remaining three Lotus Platforms to sit down. After sitting down, he turned to Fuxi and Nuwa with a smile and glanced at Black Lotus resting on Fuxi's shoulder, saying with a smile: "Fuxi, Nuwa, Ye Chuanze, you all arrived early!"
Fuxi smiled gently and replied: "Not as early as you, Hongyun Daoist."
Nuwa also responded affirmatively and greeted Hongyun Daoist.
Even Ye Chuanze, who had been quietly resting on Fuxi's shoulder, spoke up: "Long time no see. Hongyun Daoist looks well; why haven't we seen Zhen Yuanzi?"
It is said that there is an intense camaraderie among certain pairs—one pair of lilies and another pair of boys. But in Ye Chuanze's eyes, it is truly the Primordial realm that embodies this camaraderie! The reputation of Red Cloud and Zhen Yuanzi as good friends has spread throughout the Primeval Continent; everyone knows them.
Hongyun Daoist is an incarnation of Red Cloud from the beginning of heaven and earth; hence his name. Red Cloud has a gentle disposition—perhaps too gentle—never quarreling over trivial matters and always willing to yield; he is quite the nice guy. Such a nice guy is often easy to offend. Unfortunately for him, Hongyun Daoist enjoys wandering around and has gotten into trouble numerous times over the years. If it weren't for his good friend Zhen Yuanzi supporting him from the side, he might have faced dire consequences several times.
Speaking of his good friend Zhen Yuanzi Daoist—now that's a prominent figure! In later tales like Journey to the West, when Sun Wukong passed by Wuzhuang Temple and destroyed the Tree of Life, he was ultimately captured by Zhen Yuanzi. It is said that Zhen Yuanzi was transformed from the Tree of Life among the ten innate spiritual roots and possesses the Earth Book as his treasure. The defensive capabilities of Earth Book are legendary; only a Sage can break through it. In fact, even Sages find it extremely difficult to breach its defenses. The Earth Book later became fundamental for earth immortals achieving ascension; thus Zhen Yuanzi was known as the ancestor of earth immortals.
Although Zhen Yuanzi Daoist did not become a Sage later on, his strength was formidable enough—while he might not stand much chance against Sages above him, he had no rivals below them. He is indeed one of the most established Quasi-Saints in Primordial history; how could he lack hidden strength?
In summary, Zhen Yuanzi is a remarkable and impressive figure. Although Red Cloud tends to offend people and get into trouble, he has a very impressive and capable best friend, which has allowed him to navigate through challenges without being harmed.
Ye Chuanze has always been puzzled as to why someone as composed as Zhen Yuanzi would form a close friendship with the rather impulsive Red Cloud. Clearly, their personalities do not match! It is baffling. Could it be that they complement each other? The overly composed Zhen Yuanzi and the overly impulsive Red Cloud… it does seem quite possible.
Ye Chuanze couldn't help but sigh. Just look at Red Cloud—how foresighted he is, how visionary! He knew early on to find a solid backing; after all, it's good to lean against a big tree for shade. How could he have let go of Hongjun, such an unbeatable ally? Pride, face, and dignity—can those be eaten?
He began to regret, criticize, and despise himself again. Ever since he learned that Purple Robe and Flowing Hair's Hongjun Daoist would become the future formidable Dao Ancestor, he has been in this state.
Upon hearing Ye Chuanze's words, Red Cloud smirked and said, "Him? I haven't seen him in a long time."
"…Hongyun Daoist, have you gotten into trouble again? Are you afraid to meet Zhen Yuanzi?" Ye Chuanze's lips twitched as he spoke.
For thousands of years, this has been the pattern: Red Cloud gets into trouble outside and goes to Wuzhuang Temple to hide. Then Zhen Yuanzi steps in to help him resolve the issues. This cycle has repeated countless times until Red Cloud himself felt embarrassed. Every time he got into trouble, he would hide alone and stop seeking out Zhen Yuanzi. However, that was just the surface; in reality…
"Red Cloud, my friend…" Ye Chuanze couldn't help but sigh again. "Have you ever thought about why every time you cause trouble, those issues mysteriously fade away without anyone coming after you?"
At these words, the smile on Red Cloud's lips vanished.
Ye Chuanze continued, "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? Red Cloud."
