Honghuang: I'm Hong Yun, and I Head to Zixiao Palace from the Start

After Pangu’s actions dragged me into transmigrating to the Primordial World, I became the first red cloud between Heaven and Earth, stained with the blood from Pangu’s heart. That is, I became the innate demon-god Ancestor Hong Yun, who would one day give away his chance to become a Saint in the Zixiao Palace, incur karmic debt tied to the Saint’s position, earn a whole string of distinctions including the Primordial World’s unluckiest fool and biggest good guy, and ultimately meet a tragic end. But Hong Yun did not blame fate. He stayed quietly in Fire Cloud Cave, focusing on cultivation, refining treasures, mastering the divine ability of the Three Lives and Three Incarnations, eradicating the kind thoughts of Pangu contained in the blood from Pangu’s heart that had tainted his innate demon-god origin, and, aware of the dangers hidden in his inheritance, devising a cultivation method better suited to himself. Only after Hongjun became a Saint did Hong Yun leave Fire Cloud Cave. With the Primordial Chaos Pearl above his head, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler in his hand, and the Three Lives and Three Incarnations concealed within him, he ventured into the chaos beyond Heaven to seek out the Zixiao Palace. He took his seat on a cushion, watched Jieyin and Zhunti of the West, and waited for the drama in the Zixiao Palace to unfold. He would overturn the karmic fate that had doomed him to misfortune and tragedy, proclaim the might of Ancestor Hong Yun, and reveal his sainthood to the Primordial World! He even gazed up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, struck by inspiration, and composed this poem: Pangu’s deeds dragged me to the Primordial World, Hong Yun stained with blood between Heaven and Earth. In the Zixiao Palace, a chance at sainthood, given away and leaving karmic debt behind. The Primordial World’s unluckiest good guy, a tragic end that stirs pity. Ancestor Hong Yun bears no resentment, meditating and cultivating in Fire Cloud Cave. Refining treasures, revealing divine powers, tempering the Three Lives and Three Incarnations. Erasing Pangu’s kind thoughts from my origin, devising a new path despite the dangers of my inheritance. Hongjun becomes a Saint, and Hong Yun emerges, the Primordial Chaos Pearl above his head. The Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler in hand, three incarnations concealed deep within. Seeking the Zixiao Palace in the chaos beyond Heaven, seated on a cushion as the drama unfolds. Jieyin and Zhunti stand for the West, while Hong Yun’s fame resounds through the heavens. Karmic fate overturned at last, revealing my might as a Saint in the Primordial World.
