A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 612 Ancient Giants

Ever since the jade pendant first spoke, Chao Bufan has wanted to know the true identity of "Seventh Master." Unfortunately, Seventh Master has never mentioned his true identity, and to this day, Chao Bufan still doesn't know what "Seventh Master" is called.

In this unknown world, Potato had been hoping that Seventh Master would protect him, but now, Seventh Master had just left without a word, leaving Potato feeling somewhat lost...

After a long silence, Potato sighed and muttered to himself, "Fine! Since you won't help me, I'll explore this unknown world myself!"

He looked up at the mountaintop and muttered, "The Daoist temple of Ancestor Hongjun, Hong... what? Ancestor Hongjun?" As he spoke, he was startled and thought in alarm, "Isn't Ancestor Hongjun the eldest disciple of the Primordial Spirit?"

With a swift thought, a passage describing the Hongjun Ancestor appeared in his mind: "Taking nothingness as the Dao, and spiritual essence as its nature, it is clear and vast, bright and mysterious, containing within the emptiness and desolation, within the boundless and mysterious void, lonely and immeasurable. If one speaks of existence, its form is unseen; if one speaks of non-existence, all things arise from it. The eight directions, the boundless void, gradually began to separate. Subtle things formed below, becoming the world, and there was the Hongyuan, standing in the emptiness, floating in the profound void. Therefore it is said: I was born before the formless, arose before the beginning of time, grew at the beginning of the primordial era, and moved at the beginning of the primordial chaos. Standing alone, vast and unmatched. Unseen by sight, unheard by sound, intangible by touch. The so-called Hunyuan (Primordial Chaos) began from this. High above the nine layers of clouds, on a futon, I attained the true Dao. Beyond the darkness and yellow of heaven and earth, I shall be the supreme master. Pangu gave birth to Taiji, and the two polarities and four symbols followed. One Dao was passed on to three friends, and two teachings, Chan and Jie, were established." The leader of the Xuanmen sect, one Qi transformed into Hongjun.

Isn't this talking about Hongjun Laozu? He actually traveled back to the beginning of time. It's the will of Heaven, truly the will of Heaven!

A slight smile played on his lips, and then he vanished in a blur, hurtling towards the mountaintop.

Inside the Hongjun Pavilion, Lu Ya Daoist smiled slightly, then asked Hongjun Patriarch, "Senior Brother, are you somewhat surprised?"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Patriarch nodded and said, "What a cruel twist of fate! It seems that what Master said back then was absolutely right."

Nuwa asked, "Fourth Brother, you've been in his presence for so long, how much do you really know about him?"

Lu Ya Daoist smiled slightly, then shook his head and said, "I don't know much about him. He's like a mystery, always elusive. However, this transmigrator is called Potato. He was originally a robot, but this kid successfully cultivated his primordial spirit. Senior Brother, don't underestimate this Potato. He can master any cultivation technique in a very short time after just one glance."

Hongjun Patriarch laughed and said, "In the future, someone who will surpass us will be even more powerful than him, even my master said. Do you think he can be ordinary?"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Then, the Grandmaster Hongjun said, "Second Junior Brother, this boy is destined to face a calamity. It is his fate. When the time is right, bring this calamity upon him!"

Grandmaster Hunkun nodded and smiled, saying, "Senior Brother, I know."

“Alright,” Hongjun Patriarch said with a smile, “Since we’re all here, let’s go take a look together!”

The four siblings of Hongjun Patriarch walked out of Hongjun Pavilion and headed towards the front door...

When Potato arrived at the mountaintop, he suddenly saw auspicious clouds and thousands of streams of auspicious energy in the sky above him, with a strange fragrance wafting around him. He saw four Taoists, three men and one woman, some holding bamboo staffs, some holding palm-leaf fans, some carrying lotus platforms (the woman's), and some holding tree branches. He was greatly surprised and quickly scanned the information of these four people with his mind.

The one holding the bamboo staff is the master of the immortal laws—Hongjun Daozu. This person was transformed from a wisp of righteous energy in the chaos, and his accompanying chaotic spiritual treasure is the Righteous Energy Whisk.

The one holding the palm-leaf fan is none other than the Primordial Chaos Master!

The one holding the lotus platform is none other than the goddess Nuwa!

The one holding the tree branch is none other than Lu Ya Dao Ren!

Potato dared not be careless and quickly stepped forward, bowing and paying his respects to each of them: "Junior Potato greets Ancestor Hongjun, Ancestor Hunkun, Goddess Nuwa, and Daoist Luya. Hmm?"

As he spoke, Potato exclaimed in surprise, immediately speculating in his mind, "Why does Lu Ya Daoist's temperament seem so similar to Seventh Master's? Could it be..."

Upon hearing this, the four, including Hongjun Patriarch, were all startled. Then, Hongjun Patriarch closed his head and said, "How do you know our names?"

Potato quickly replied respectfully, "In response to Ancestor Hongjun, the saying 'one generation plants the trees so that another can enjoy the shade' is a lie that future generations will enjoy talking about."

Upon hearing this, both Hongjun Patriarch and Nuwa looked at Lu Ya Daoist. Lu Ya Daoist understood and nodded. Hongjun Patriarch sized up the potato, then asked Nuwa, "Third Junior Sister, have you figured out what's going on?"

Nuwa nodded and smiled, saying, "This is the will of Heaven. The first is Fifth Junior Brother Yangmei Immortal, the second is Lingmu Daoist, and the third is this Potato. All of them are heartless and carefree, and are different kinds of people."

Potato quickly replied, "Goddess Nuwa, you are mistaken. If you say that I am an outlier, I agree. But if you say that I am heartless, I simply cannot accept it."

Hongjun Patriarch smiled and said, "You did not understand the meaning behind Third Junior Sister's words. The so-called 'no heart' is better than having a heart, and 'no lungs' is better than having lungs. This is the will of Heaven."

Potato was puzzled, but Goddess Nuwa laughed and said, "Potato, let me ask you, do you know what your duty is?"

Potato replied, "I know that fate is hard to defy, so I came to ask you seniors for some advice."

In fact, Hongjun Laozu and others already knew everything about Earth.

Hongjun Patriarch laughed and said, "If you only came here to learn from us, then you've come for nothing."

"Why?" Potato asked.

Lu Ya Daoist laughed and said, "Potato, you must already know who I am, right?"

Potato nodded and replied, "I know, you are Lu Ya Dao Ren, and also the Seventh Master I know."

Nuwa said, "Now that you know your fourth junior brother's true identity, you should remember what he told you before, right?"

Upon hearing this, Potato's mind raced, countless thoughts flashing through his head in an instant. He nodded, then shook his head, and said, "Goddess Nuwa, I was created by you, so I know what my mission is. I believe Senior Lu Ya has already told you everything about me, including the purpose of this trip. Therefore, I humbly request the four seniors to generously help me overcome this difficulty and save all living beings from suffering."

The goddess Nuwa smiled and said, "The difficulties can naturally be overcome, but have you thought about a long-term plan?"

Upon hearing this, Potato was clearly taken aback, but then smiled and said, "Goddess Nuwa, this junior does not understand what you mean by 'long-term plan'."
