"Seeing that you have admitted your mistake with a good attitude, I will spare your life this time. I hope you take it as a warning! If you commit evil deeds again and I catch you, I won't let you off so easily!"

Yu Yuan sternly admonished with a serious demeanor, then waved his hand, signaling that the man in the black robe could leave.

The man glanced at the two spiritual medicines lying on the ground, reluctantly left, his eyes full of frustration and annoyance.

He originally passed by here and saw Yun Zhongzi gathering herbs, thinking to steal the Spirit Root and run away, but did not expect Yun Zhongzi to be a disciple of the Chan Sect, who casually shattered his bluffing attack.

He did not expect there to be Yu Yuan, such a formidable figure, who beat him up, and even took away the only two spiritual medicines he had.

So much so that he was a bit unclear for a moment, who exactly was the one robbing and stealing treasures?

After he left, Yu Yuan wrapped the two spiritual medicines with mana and handed them to Yun Zhongzi.

Yun Zhongzi hastily waved his hands and said, "These were snatched by the Black Bear Spirit; how could I accept them?"

Yu Yuan glanced at him in surprise, "What are you thinking? This is for you to keep for now; when you find the two Immortal Gods who were robbed, you can then return it to them."

"So that's what Brother Dao meant."

Yun Zhongzi breathed a sigh of relief, but his face grew hot.

After two days together, he deeply felt that the Qi Zhongjun in front of him was a person of great integrity and virtue!

He saw heavenly treasures as nothing and was happy to help others, doing everything sincerely and wholeheartedly!

Compared with him, he was far too lacking!

Right there, he made a solemn bow, and said with seriousness, "Please, Brother Dao, personally take care of these two spiritual medicines."

Yu Yuan nodded, without being polite, directly put the two spiritual medicines into his Qiankun Ruyi Bag.

Then, he sighed softly, "My dear nephew, don't blame me for scolding you earlier; I also understand that the survival of the fittest is the ultimate truth of the Primordial era, and we cultivators should not meddle too much, lest it affect the cause and effect.

But now is different from the ancient Barbaric era!

Now the Saints establish great religions, promoting teachings and passing on Daoist skills and Divine abilities, allowing weak creatures to have the ability to protect themselves and become stronger... Just like the Human Race, how weak were they before? They were almost completely exterminated by the Witch Demon races!

And yet now, the Human Race has become the protagonist of the Primordial world, and the once supreme Witch Demon races have become mere fleeting clouds... Why is this?

It is because the Heavenly Dao and the Saints helped the weak Human Race and punished the Witch Demons who relied on their strength to commit evils.

So, if we can all learn from the Saints, lend a helping hand to those in difficulty, and severely punish those who rely on their strength for evil, one day this cruel Primordial world will also become beautiful!"

"Brother Dao speaks very truly!"

Yun Zhongzi nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, especially the example of the Saints punishing Witch Demons and aiding the Human Race which removed all his doubts!

He nodded firmly, his expression solemnly said, "From today onwards, I wish to be like Brother Dao, extending a hand to help the weak in difficulty and punishing those who rely on their strength to do evil!"

"Good! Very good!"

Yu Yuan excitedly nodded, and patted Yun Zhongzi's shoulder, "Good nephew, your uncle truly didn't misjudge you! Now, we are truly fellows of the same path!"

Yun Zhongzi: "..."

"By the way, in the future, don't so readily reveal your identity... Think about it; those Immortal Gods who rely on their strength for evil, once they hear you are a disciple of the Chan Sect, they will definitely be scared away."

Yu Yuan gently and persuasively taught Yun Zhongzi, "How about you take a new Daoist name and change your aura slightly, hiding your true Dao cultivation Realm? That way, you will essentially have a new identity."

Yun Zhongzi, clearly not familiar with the saying "pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger," nodded in agreement, "That sounds good... then I shall call myself One Qi Immortal?"

Yu Yuan: "..."

If it wasn't for Yun Zhongzi's sincere demeanor, he would almost think his identity had been exposed.

Obviously, Yun Zhongzi choosing the name One Qi Immortal was to align himself with his "Uncle."

At that moment, he nodded with relief, looking at Yun Zhongzi, "From today onwards, you are the Loose Cultivator One Qi Immortal! Let us join hands to challenge the strong and support the weak while seeking treasures!"

Yun Zhongzi nodded vigorously, full of ambition.

...

In the afternoon.

The scorching sun was slightly harsh, and looking up at the sky, one could only see a golden brilliance, fiery and powerful.

The Taiyang Fire, extremely yang and intense, burning all things, but also brought light and warmth to the Eastern Emperor Heaven.

Yu Yuan, riding on a white cloud, accompanied by Yun Zhongzi, soared above Nine Heavens.

The vast Heaven and Earth sprawled with endlessly extending scenery.

The wide Heaven and Earth were theirs to traverse.

This Eastern Emperor Heaven, unknown how many eons it has been concealed within the chaos.

Strangely, although this Great Thousand World contained countless precious birds and Exotic Beasts, Great Medicines and Spirit Roots, there were no creatures that had awakened intelligence and embarked on the path of cultivation.

Yu Yuan and Yun Zhongzi discussed this issue but found no answer; they could only assume that this Great Thousand World might have been damaged during the great battle with the Witch Demon, thus causing some problems.

However, treasure hunting is currently the priority, everything else is secondary.

The two did not have a fixed direction; they simply wandered aimlessly, guided by Yun Zhongzi's intuition.

Not long after, a cloud-covered and mist-enshrouded mountain range with beautiful scenery appeared ahead.

From a distance, one could see a gourd-shaped valley below, where a towering firelight was blazing.

The dense forest within the valley was engulfed in flames, trapping many wild animals that had no time to escape; they could only desperately curl up waiting for death.

At the entrance of the valley, several figures stood, with a gray-robed man at the forefront who was over ten feet tall with a robust build, radiating a powerful presence.

They stood at the entrance, blocking the escape route of the living creatures in the valley like a city wall.

Suddenly, a splendid Green Bird flew out from the dense forest in the valley, carrying on its back a young-looking woman in green who appeared to be an Immortal.

"Quickly extinguish the fire!"

The woman in green urgently shouted, her voice as crisp as jade beads falling on a plate.

Upon receiving the command, the Green Bird flapped its wings, which were several zhang long, stirring up strong winds that immediately extinguished the fire.

At the valley entrance, the gray-robed man let out a weird chuckle: "The Immortal Lingyun is indeed hiding here! Fellow Daoists, let's not let her escape this time!"

The woman in green couldn't help but furrow her brows in anger, saying, "I found the Blood Phoenix Grass first! I was willing to let you take it, so why are you still aggressively pursuing and trying to kill me along the way?"

"Of course, because you possess treasures!" The gray-robed man coldly laughed, "It's merely the law of the jungle, no need for reasons."

While speaking, he suddenly transformed into a rainbow light shooting up into the sky towards the woman in the green riding the Green Bird.

"Quick, it's your turn to make a move!"

Yu Yuan urgently transmitted his voice to Yun Zhongzi.

The latter nodded nervously, took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly, "Hold your hands!"

With a light wave of the Jade Banana Leaf Fan in his hand, a breeze swept by like a large net, stopping the rainbow light and returning it to the ground.

The rainbow light disappeared, and the gray-robed man looked towards Yun Zhongzi, who had descended from the clouds, with a piercing gaze.

"Who are you to interfere in this matter?!"

"I am a Loose Cultivator, a One Qi Immortal!" Yun Zhongzi declared his identity and solemnly said, "You bully the weak by relying on strength, rob treasures, and even harmed the lives of many creatures in this valley, thus you should be severely punished!"

"Loose Cultivator? Heh, turns out it's someone not afraid of death!"

The gray-robed man eyed Yun Zhongzi and suddenly threw out a streak of light, sharp as an arrow aiming directly at Yun Zhongzi, emanating a terrifying killing intent.

A disagreement escalates to an attempt to take lives?

Yun Zhongzi trembled inwardly, shocked by the opponent's cruelty.

However, being highly skilled, he managed to grab the streak of light with his right hand before it could reach him.

The streak of light revealed its true form – a black spear about a zhang and two feet long, with a point still carrying faint traces of crimson blood.

Yun Zhongzi frowned in disgust and instinctively threw it back.

"Boom—"

A tremendous boom echoed through the valley, and amid flying rocks, the gray-robed man was impaled by his own spear, his shattered body deeply buried under the rubble.

The remaining Immortal Gods looked at Yun Zhongzi in midair with anger and a hint of fear in their eyes.

"You dare injure our senior brother; our Skywalking Sect will not let you go!"

"Leave quickly, there's still room for maneuvre in this matter!"

"Our Sect Master of Skywalking Sect is a disciple of Chan Sect; you being a Loose Cultivator dare to oppose us, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, we will still be able to find you…"

"…"

Hearing the words "Chan Sect disciple," Yun Zhongzi suddenly stiffened, becoming somewhat perplexed.

At this moment, Yu Yuan arrived on a cloud, holding the Mixed Gold Hammer and began to strike each one.

"Bang! Bang! Bang…"

A series of dull thuds.

The few Immortal Gods all collapsed to the ground, only able to groan in pain, no longer having the strength to shout.

"Now…"

Yu Yuan weighed the Mixed Gold Hammer in his hand, his gaze ominously sweeping over those few Immortal Gods, "If you want to live, hand over all your treasures!

All your ill-gotten gains must be confiscated!"
