Chapter 1: Crossing the Red Cloud and Completing the Footprints

"Did I travel through time and space and become Hong Yun?" After sorting out the information, Hong Yun gradually accepted this fact.

He actually traveled to the ancient times and became the famous Red Cloud Ancestor.

Ah, this damn good guy.

Hong Yun, no, now he is Hong Yun, and Hong Yun is very clear about his fate in this wilderness.

That is simply a huge tragedy.

He gave up his throne with good intentions, but ended up bringing about serious consequences, leading to his death in the end.

As a sacrifice to mark the beginning of the Lich Calamity.

But now that I have become Hongyun, my future destiny will naturally be rewritten.

Hongyun is not pessimistic.

Because now, he is still in the state of not yet taking shape and his consciousness has just been developed for a short time.

In other words, he is still just a cloud now.

However, although it is called a cloud, this cloud is not ordinary. It is the first cloud in the prehistoric world.

It is the ancestor of all clouds.

Moreover, Hongyun’s roots are profound, and it contains the origins of three of the four spirits of creation.

Which three spirits of creation? They are water, fire and wind.

However, it was precisely because of this that the origin of the red cloud lacked land, but was somehow drawn to the Wanshou Mountain.

At this time, below the red cloud, covered by his body, was a towering tree.

Ginseng fruit tree.

One of the ten famous spiritual roots in the ancient times.

However, please note that this ginseng fruit tree is not Zhen Yuanzi. Zhen Yuanzi is still next to the tree.

Next to the ginseng fruit tree, there is a group of earth-yellow air currents that vaguely take on a human shape.

That is Zhen Yuanzi, whose great supernatural power is formed by the wisdom and intelligence nurtured by the essence of Wu Earth.

And right next to Zhen Yuanzi, there is a book that is connected to his origin.

This book is also powerful, but it is the Book of Earth, one of the three books about heaven, earth and man.

It is transformed from the fetal membrane of the earth and is extremely powerful. It can be used to set up the innate Wu Earth formation.

Its power is as great as that of a complete innate five elements formation, which is one-fifth of the innate five elements formation set up with the innate five-direction flags.

Seeing this, some people may say, what’s so great about just one-fifth?

However, the power of the innate five elements formation is enough to trap five saints who do not have innate treasures.

In other words, this innate Wu Earth formation, when activated, can completely trap a saint who does not have an innate treasure in his hands.

Isn't this kind of power amazing?
Of course, this is only a theoretical situation. First, the saint does not have the treasure. Second, even if he can be trapped, he can only be trapped for a thousand years at most.

After all, the complete innate five elements formation can only have a sealing effect of ten thousand years at most.

The Book of Earth and the Ginseng Fruit Tree are the foundation of Zhen Yuanzi's life.

It accompanied him through one calamity after another.

Hmm. Hong Yun looked at his good friend's wealth, and then looked at himself.

Hiss, it's an eye-opener. That's right, the red cloud itself doesn't even have a single hair.

They are both great supernatural powers, but the difference between them is as huge as heaven and earth.

Hong Yun was secretly feeling the hardship of his divine life.

But at this moment, suddenly a clear and pleasant voice like that of a soft girl sounded.

"Ding, it is detected that the host has successfully crossed over and become Hongyun. The God-level Selection System is officially bound."

"According to the host's current situation, tasks are being generated. Please select the first task."

"Choice 1: Devour Zhen Yuanzi, who has already nurtured spiritual wisdom, absorb the essence of Wu Earth, replenish your own Four Symbols Origin, and you will be rewarded with the Wu Earth Apricot Yellow Flag." "Choice 2: Zhen Yuanzi is my good friend, how can I bear to devour him? Live in harmony with Zhen Yuanzi, and you will be rewarded with a portion of the Origin of the Earth."

When Hongyun first heard it, he was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted.

Is this god-level selection system my golden finger?
Love it. Moreover, this novice mission is clearly to give me the origin of the earth.

Hong Yun quickly made a choice, "System, I choose two."

Since we can obtain the origin of the earth anyway, why should we devour Zhen Yuanzi?

This is my closest good friend.

As for the Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag, although it is one of the five innate flags, Hong Yun also endured it.

With this system in place, are you still worried about not getting good things in the future?
It was just a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but it could not compare to the deep friendship between him and Zhen Yuanzi.

Well, Hongyun’s sense of immersion is also very good, but where is the friendship in him now?

However, Hongyun believes that when dealing with outsiders, it doesn't matter what the hardest strike is, no matter how hard the means.

But we must protect our own people!

Anyway, I have been protecting Zhen Yuanzi for so many years, so I don’t mind continuing to protect him in the future.

As soon as Hong Yun made his choice, the system automatically prompted him that he had completed the task.

Mission rewards are issued.

"Host, would you like to use the origin of the earth immediately?"

Is there any need to ask this? Hong Yun answered directly. Then, Hong Yun felt his consciousness sink.

With a "boom", his whole body shook, and then a powerful and heavy origin was injected into it.

The red cloud, which originally appeared bright red, was now stained with a layer of brown and yellow.

Then red and yellow gradually intersected, and little by little, the essence of the red cloud changed.

The color is different.

If he only appeared red at the beginning, it was because among his three origins: water, fire and wind, the origin of fire was the most powerful.

But now, with the injection of the origin of the earth, the other two origins have also grown stronger.

In the end, the four origins reached a balance, so the red cloud's body now has a total of four colors: red, yellow, black and cyan.

Fortunately, the fancy colors did not stop, but continued to roll.

The four colors slowly blend together.

In the end, it turned into an indescribable color, neither black nor white, but a gray, chaotic color.

The red cloud replenished the origin of the earth. After the origin of the four symbols was complete, it actually transformed into a chaotic spiritual cloud.

At this time, even Hong Yun himself could feel his own power.

What would happen if this thing took shape?
Just like that, after who knows how many tens of thousands of years, the red cloud did not leave Wanshou Mountain, but just floated on the ginseng fruit tree.

Covering this spiritual root, and Zhen Yuanzi beside the spiritual root, other than that, he just absorbs and exhales spiritual energy as much as possible to continue to strengthen himself.

Finally, on this day, Hongyun felt that the opportunity for his transformation had come.

Like him, Zhen Yuanzi who was standing next to the ginseng fruit tree also transformed on the same day.

However, although this transformation was a big deal for the two of them, the whole process did not involve much noise.

As surging spiritual energy gathered together, it was suddenly swallowed by the two, and then there was a flash of light, and the two of them successfully transformed.

There was no thunder tribulation either, after all, at that time Daozu Hongjun had not yet achieved the Dao.

Living beings do not need to go through tribulations to transform.

After Hongyun transformed, he looked like a young man of about 23 or 24 years old, with a handsome face and a kind look in his eyes. He was wearing a long blue-gray Taoist robe and had a profound and extraordinary temperament.

Next to him was Zhen Yuanzi. His transformed appearance was that of a middle-aged man with a Taoist bun on his head, loose clothes with wide sleeves, and holding a book on the ground in one hand.
