Looks like my guess that Ren Zu was Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable, was wrong.

Paragraph where the owner troubled Ren Zu... Is this implying that at the legends of Ren Zu were based on an actual person? If so then I think there's a possibility that Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable's name might be Ren Zu, being the first Rank 9 as in the story he interacts with Wisdom Gu and the other Gu mentioned are probably rank 9 too. If this is true wonder if Ren Zu was the first human and first venerable at the same time or did other humans/gu masters exist at that time too. Going on with the theory, Primordial Venerable created this story of <<The Legends of Ren Zu>> for some purpose, maybe for his name to be recorded deeply in history while masking his experiences as a venerable with these many rank 9 gu into a legendary tale that would be popular and passed on as both reference material and a legend. Heavenly Court's purpose/goal isn't too clear, but it most probably would be based on Primordial Origin's goal since he created the sect/organisation. Also the end of this chapter with the Heavenly Court gu masters saying a Hairy man owned this blessed land, isn't this practically confirming Ren Zu was probably an actual person? The hairy man caused trouble to him in the past from all the gu leaving him in the story, and now it's causing Heavenly court problems too.
