Chapter 18 - Unnamed

AI Model: gemini-3.1-flash-lite

Old Ancestor Yang Mei heard this and greatly admired Wang Chen's idea; he was indeed worthy of being someone he acknowledged.

Old Ancestor Yang Mei had always believed that treasures were ultimately external objects, and even if they provided some assistance, they should not be valued too highly.

What a cultivator ultimately needed was their own cultivation Realm; after all, no matter how powerful a Spirit Treasure was, if one's own cultivation was insufficient, it would be difficult to unleash its full power.

It was just like the pangu banner in Hongjun's hands.

"Then this old Daoist will release Fellow Daoist Qiankun. How about you discuss the follow-up matters with him, Fellow Daoist Ziwei?"

Old Ancestor Yang Mei and Ancestor Qiankun were both Chaos Demon God Reincarnations in the Primordial World, so there was actually some sentiment between them, and he was quite happy that the other party did not need to perish.

Of course, the little friendship between them was not worth mentioning compared to Wang Chen.

"Good."

Seeing Wang Chen nod in agreement, Old Ancestor Yang Mei waved his hand, and the figure of Ancestor Qiankun appeared beside him.

Upon sensing that he had been released by Old Ancestor Yang Mei, Ancestor Qiankun opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with dead silence, as if he had already foreseen his own end.

His memory still lingered on the scream of Ancestor Yin and Yang, after which he had been taken away by Old Ancestor Yang Mei's Divine Ability. He could not perceive any information from the outside and could only wait bit by bit for the outcome of events.

Wang Chen and Old Ancestor Yang Mei naturally saw the expression on Ancestor Qiankun's face clearly, and the two smiled at each other.

"Does Fellow Daoist Qiankun still recognize this Emperor?"

Wang Chen was the first to speak with a smile.

After a brief moment, Ancestor Qiankun also realized that something was wrong; the two people beside him were not Hongjun and Old Ancestor Yang Mei, but the Great Emperor Ziwei who had saved Ancestor Yin and Yang.

However, this result did not seem any different to him; he was now a fish on the chopping block, with his life and death entirely in the other party's hands.

He also did not know if this Great Emperor Ziwei was as greedy for the supreme treasures on him as Hongjun was.

"I naturally recognize Great Emperor Ziwei; that Sword of Stars left a deep impression on me."

"I just do not know what the situation is now. I ask that you two Fellow Daoists please enlighten me."

Seeing that they did not seem to have any intention of attacking, Ancestor Qiankun stood up and asked in confusion, intending to understand the situation first before saying anything else.

"Fellow Daoist Qiankun, it is better for you to see for yourself."

Old Ancestor Yang Mei sent out a Divine Thought which was read by Ancestor Qiankun. A moment later, he finally understood everything that had happened after he was taken away.

Of course, this did not include the series of events where Wang Chen helped the three clans obtain Karma.

Upon learning that Ancestor Yin and Yang had been killed by Luo Hou, Ancestor Qiankun sighed; one could feel that he was somewhat sorrowful.

When he saw Wang Chen force out Hongjun's trump card, he looked at him with a face full of shock.

One had to know that trading blows evenly was a completely different concept from forcing out the other party's trump card.

Wang Chen and Old Ancestor Yang Mei smiled without speaking, signaling him to continue watching.

When Ancestor Qiankun saw the starry sky replace the original sky and the power of the stars blessing Great Emperor Ziwei, that imposing momentum shocked him so much that he retreated repeatedly, even though it was only a memory.

The shock on his face was even more intense than before, and it even carried a sense of disbelief.

However, he knew that the other party had no need to deceive him with things that were easy to investigate.

When Ancestor Qiankun finally saw Hongjun perish, his face had returned to calm. For a moment, he actually did not know what kind of mood to use to face all of this.

Now the situation was very clear: Ancestor Yin and Yang had perished under Luo Hou's god slaying spear, and Hongjun had perished under Great Emperor Ziwei's Great Array of Heavenly Stars.

And the other party did not covet the supreme treasures on him; they just wanted him to help deal with Luo Hou.

Ancestor Qiankun finally let out a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted. No matter what, he had survived, and he was already very happy with this outcome.

"Fellow Daoist Ziwei's business is my, Ancestor Qiankun's, business. If you have any instructions, Fellow Daoist Ziwei, just say them directly; this old Daoist will definitely not refuse."

Ancestor Qiankun's attitude towards Wang Chen was very polite, and he even directly agreed to help him crusade against Luo Hou.

"Then this Emperor thanks Fellow Daoist Qiankun and Old Ancestor Yang Mei here. With the help of you two Fellow Daoists, I believe this plan will proceed much more smoothly."

"However, we cannot be careless. This Emperor knows a thing or two about Luo Hou's trump card."

"The four swords of zhu xian are supreme treasures that, like the five elements sword, can set up a Formation. The four killing swords combined can set up a fiercely powerful killing Dao Formation."

"Luo Hou's interference in the calamity has the reason of collecting Killing Intent and Evil Qi for it; these can all enhance the power of that supreme treasure."

"This Formation is exceptionally dangerous. Once we enter it, we need four people with strength similar to Luo Hou's Realm, and we must also have supreme treasures to protect ourselves in order to have a chance to break the Formation and get out."

As Wang Chen continued to speak, the expressions on the faces of Ancestor Qiankun and Old Ancestor Yang Mei gradually began to become serious.

They both knew that Luo Hou had a trump card, but they did not expect the other party's trump card to be this powerful.

"In that case, the supreme killing treasure that we felt under Mount Sumeru back then must be these four swords of zhu xian."

Old Ancestor Yang Mei recalled the scene when they joined forces to investigate Mount Sumeru.

"Previously, when the three clans attacked Mount Sumeru, the four swords of zhu xian were exposed. Originally, we thought that was the supreme treasure nurtured under Mount Sumeru."

"Although we knew its power was extraordinary, after seeing it, we didn't take it too much to heart. Now that we have been awakened by Fellow Daoist Ziwei, we finally realize how ridiculously wrong our previous thoughts were."

Ancestor Qiankun shook his head with a bitter smile; they had even mocked Luo Hou before.

They did not expect that while the other party quietly made them lower their guard, he had also set a big trap, just waiting for them to step into it.

"We severely underestimated Luo Hou before. Fortunately, we have Fellow Daoist Ziwei on our side, who has seen through Luo Hou's schemes and tricks."

"As long as we prepare well, we will definitely make that Formation of Luo Hou useless."

At this moment, Ancestor Qiankun also understood why Great Emperor Ziwei wanted him to help. However, even knowing the cause and effect, he would not back down because of it.

"It is just that we only have three people here who can deal with that Formation. To break the Formation quickly, we are still missing one top-tier expert who is a Late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal."

Ancestor Qiankun's gaze looked towards Great Emperor Ziwei; presumably, the other party should already have a countermeasure.

Wang Chen nodded upon seeing this.

"That is indeed the case. It is just that I was born relatively late, and I do not know many top-tier experts. Now, I can only let the Ancestral Dragon and the other two cooperate with the Formation to hold one side first."

"However, doing so carries some risks. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qiankun can invite the Five Elements Ancestor to come out and help us break the Formation?"

Wang Chen's words made the corners of Old Ancestor Yang Mei's and Ancestor Qiankun's eyes twitch, but what he said was the truth, and the two had no way to refute it.

After the three consulted, Ancestor Qiankun and Ancestor Yangmei went together to invite Five Elements Ancestor out of seclusion.

Wang Chen, meanwhile, began refining the Spirit Treasures he had acquired this time, preparing more thoroughly for the upcoming battle.

The main items he refined this time were the pangu banner, taiji diagram, myriad heavens celebration cloud, and green lotus precious color flag. Since he didn't have much time, he did not perform deep refinement.

However, these four Innate Spirit Treasures were inherently powerful, and even preliminary mastery could provide him with significant assistance.

Decades passed quickly, and the Three Clans and Ancestor Qiankun returned one after another.

The Three Clans have now purged the clansmen entangled by calamity qi, and used heavenly dao merit to cleanse the Karma and calamity qi on their bodies. Now, the Karma and calamity qi on the Three Clans have been greatly weakened.

The Karma on certain individual clansmen could only be redeemed by them remaining in the Great Desolation.

Ancestor Qiankun successfully invited Five Elements Ancestor. The latter's Realm was still Mid-stage Primordial Golden Immortal, and with such great commotion previously in the Great Desolation, he had no mind to peacefully enter seclusion for a Breakthrough.

Five Elements Ancestor was relatively clear about the entire sequence of events. His relationship with Ancestor Yinyang and Ancestor Qiankun was good, so he held some reservations toward Ancestor Yangmei.

However, under the guidance of Ancestor Qiankun, Five Elements Ancestor finally set aside his prejudices and chose to come out of seclusion to help them.

"Now that everyone on our side has arrived, we should head to Mount Sumeru immediately to eliminate Rahu, this major hidden danger, lest delays cause unforeseen complications."

After Wang Chen exchanged a few brief greetings with everyone, he went straight to the main topic.

Ancestor Qiankun had already clearly explained the situation concerning Rahu on the way here, and Wang Chen was already clear about the subsequent plan and what he needed to do.

"These are the four directional Jade Seals of the Myriad Phenomena Life and Death Great Array. I will temporarily lend them to the four Fellow Daoists, in case we fall for Rahu's scheme. With them, your safety will have a certain guarantee."

Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Phoenix, and Beginning Qilin were overjoyed upon hearing this. They knew how powerful the complete Myriad Phenomena Life and Death Great Array was; even Hongjun was forced to reveal his trump card.

They had long coveted the method for the subsequent refinement of this Formation, and now they finally had a chance to glimpse its true appearance.

Although Five Elements Ancestor's expression remained neutral, he was extremely happy inside. The Formation was one of the reasons they had previously schemed against the Three Clans, and now that he had the opportunity to study it, his gains would surely be significant.

Especially since he had watched the Great Emperor Ziwei make his move from beginning to end. Both the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation and the Myriad Phenomena Life and Death Great Array were extremely powerful Formations in his eyes.

As for the Great Array of Heavenly Stars, it had already been elevated to a divine altar in his heart. Its value and status, in the heart of Five Elements Ancestor, surpassed that of an innate supreme treasure.

Therefore, even though it was their first meeting, Five Elements Ancestor was very courteous toward Great Emperor Ziwei.

"Thank you, Great Emperor."

After the four received the Jade Seals, they couldn't help but carefully examine them, occasionally uttering sounds of astonishment.

Ancestor Qiankun's gaze also remained fixed on the Jade Seals; he was actually very curious about the profound mysteries within them.

Anyone in the Great Desolation who knew the details of Wang Chen's actions developed a strong interest in the Dao of Formations, including Ancestor Qiankun and Five Elements Ancestor.

Wang Chen was somewhat mentally prepared for this. While he was happy that these people recognized the Formation he created, he spoke to Ancestor Yangmei beside him.

"I trouble Fellow Daoist Yangmei to lead the way for us."

"No trouble, it's a minor matter."

Ancestor Yangmei waved his hand, and layers of ripples appeared in the Space. Immediately afterward, everyone present vanished instantly.

The West.

At this time, the land of The West was in complete chaos, with endless slaughter unfolding within it.

The Demon Race received Rahu's order and were now killing any living creature they encountered. Even within the Demon Race itself, they were slaughtering wildly.

In order to quickly gather Killing Intent and Evil Qi, Rahu was now acting recklessly.

"It seems Great Emperor Ziwei frightened Rahu quite badly; he has now started resorting to unscrupulous means."

Ancestor Qiankun looked at everything below and gained a clear understanding of Rahu's ruthlessness once again.

If he could be so ruthless to The West, a region he had managed for endless years, what else could Rahu not do?

"That is why we must be even more careful."

Wang Chen frowned slightly, feeling displeased with this chaotic situation.

It truly shouldn't be that so many innocent creatures died tragically like this. Thus, his gaze turned to Ancestor Dragon and the other two beside him, and he said.

"The Demon Race is currently ravaging The West. Now is a good opportunity to acquire heavenly dao merit."

Wang Chen didn't say much, assuming Ancestor Dragon and the other two could understand his meaning.

With a single thought, Wang Chen's many Incarnations were already rushing toward The West.

Northern Emperor's pace was slightly slower, but he conveyed this information to White Tiger and Vermilion Bird, among others.

After receiving Wang Chen's guidance, Ancestor Dragon and the other two instantly understood and immediately ordered the Three Clans to stop the Demon Race's slaughter.

Under the lead of Ancestor Yangmei, Mount Sumeru quickly appeared before their eyes. Everyone was tense, ready for battle at any moment.

Wang Chen further conjured the sun moon crystal wheel and attacked Mount Sumeru. In an instant, the Devilish Qi above Mount Sumeru sensed it and immediately began to riot.

A Black-Purple Great Array appeared out of thin air, actually intercepting the attack of the sun moon crystal wheel directly.

Mount Sumeru was Rahu's Dao field after all, so it was reasonable for it to be protected by such a Formation.

Wang Chen had long anticipated this and was not surprised in the slightest.

The zijie sword, Yin Jie Sword, and Yang Jie Sword—three Divine Swords—appeared beside him, and Divine Power poured into them.

The stars in the sky began to emit light, and moments later, a massive Star Sword descended directly from the heavens.

Bang~ Crackle~

Without any surprise, the Formation protecting Mount Sumeru was directly pierced by this strike, and then shattered inch by inch.

Several members of the Demon Race at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm appeared in Mount Sumeru. They desperately tried to support the Formation, but unfortunately, their cultivation was insufficient against the power of the Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation.

"Something is wrong. With such a massive commotion, Rahu still hasn't appeared."

Ancestor Yangmei frowned deeply. With a wave of his hand, the few Grand Unity Golden Immortals on Mount Sumeru were sent before him without any power to resist.

He pointed a finger at the center of one Grand Unity Golden Immortal's brow, performing Soul Search directly, but unfortunately, he didn't obtain much useful information.

He only learned that Rahu was not currently on Mount Sumeru and had told them to guard Mount Sumeru before leaving.

When probing the memories related to Rahu, Rahu simultaneously sensed the situation here.

Before anyone could react, this Demon Race member at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm directly turned into ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth.

"It seems Rahu was well prepared and might have guessed our plan."

Ancestor Yangmei looked at Wang Chen. They didn't know where Rahu had gone, and since the Great Desolation was currently in the midst of a Calamity eruption, the Heavenly Secrets were obscure, making it difficult to deduce his location.

For a moment, none of the many top-tier powerful figures present had a solution. Their gazes all turned toward Great Emperor Ziwei.

Wang Chen ignored these gazes and fell into deep thought. His spiritual sense told him that the longer they delayed, the more dangerous it would become, so they had to find Rahu as quickly as possible.

Immortal Slaying Sword Formation... Evil Qi... Killing Intent. These pieces of information flashed continuously in his mind. Finally, his gaze turned toward the direction of the Sea of Blood.

If one were to talk about where Evil Qi and Killing Intent could be purer, what place could surpass the Sea of Blood?

Wang Chen wasn't entirely sure about this guess, but he was willing to take a gamble.

If he gambled correctly, he would gain everything. If he lost, he would likely lose the initiative.

"Fellow Daoist Yangmei, let's go to the Sea of Blood."

Wang Chen's gaze was serious and firm. Old Ancestor Yangmei's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist Ziwei indeed has extraordinary insight. There's a high probability that Luohu went to the Netherworld Sea of Blood."

With that, he no longer hesitated, directly annihilating the forms and spirits of those several Demon Race Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and then taking them to the Netherworld Sea of Blood.

Upon realizing that Old Ancestor Yangmei was searching the memories of his Demon Race Grand Unity Golden Immortals, Luohu's face, beside the Netherworld Sea of Blood, showed a smug smile.

The Netherworld Sea of Blood is the most defiled place in the Great Desolation. Surely, those people would never imagine he'd come here.

Especially Great Emperor Ziwei, who hasn't been out for long and doesn't know much about the various places and secrets of the Great Desolation.

"Soon. Once this Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is completely refined by this Venerable One, I will let you experience what despair truly is."

"The ultimate victor of this Dao conflict will surely be I, Demon Ancestor Luohu."

Looking at the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, which was continuously absorbing Killing Intent and Evil Qi, Luohu's face revealed a confident smile.

Luohu sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, refining the four swords of zhu xian while also beginning to comprehend the unique Law of this place.

He began to Cultivate.

As for his subordinate Demon Race, he no longer cared. It would be best if they could still contribute, but if they were massacred by the enraged Great Emperor Ziwei, he wouldn't feel any heartache.

As long as he won the Dao conflict, he could have as many Demon Race members as he wanted.

"Haha, Great Emperor Ziwei, your guess was indeed correct. This Luohu is truly hiding in this Netherworld Sea of Blood."

In the Void Realm, Wang Chen and the others had arrived at the Netherworld Sea of Blood.

Old Ancestor Yangmei's spatial attainments were profound. Even with several of them, Luohu didn't detect their arrival in advance.

Old Ancestor Five Elements and the others also beamed with joy upon seeing Luohu, praising Wang Chen's decision one by one.

"We must not give Luohu a chance to use the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. This Emperor will directly activate the Great Array of Heavenly Stars."

"You all should not show yourselves for now, but secretly cut off Luohu's escape routes."

Without letting Old Ancestor Five Elements and the others continue speaking, Wang Chen directly began to arrange the subsequent plan.

Everyone understood the purpose of this trip and all listened to Wang Chen's arrangements.

Wang Chen stepped out of Old Ancestor Yangmei's space. The Great Array of Heavenly Stars instantly activated, and the starry sky emerged, enveloping the Netherworld Sea of Blood.

The place that had been perpetually without sunlight now had heavenly light descending upon it.

The moment Wang Chen stepped out, Luohu sensed his aura. At this moment, Luohu was extremely shocked, not expecting the other party to find him in such a short time.

"Fellow Daoist Ziwei, do you truly intend to exterminate me? You should know that this Venerable One still has many unrevealed methods. Even if your Formation is powerful, I am not afraid."

"It would be good for both of us if you retreated now."

Luohu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the four swords of zhu xian behind him cooperatively emitted a terrifying Killing Intent.

If he could threaten Great Emperor Ziwei away, that would be for the best. If not, he would have to let the other party experience his Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

"Hmph, Fellow Daoist Luohu, your hidden trump card wouldn't be the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, would it?"

Wang Chen sneered, then, without waiting for the other party to react, he unleashed his full power.

The reason he had wasted that little bit of time earlier was to allow others to block all of Luohu's escape routes.

Now that everything was ready, he would no longer be polite to the other party.

"How is that possible? How could you know?"

Luohu's expression became uncertain with surprise. He didn't know why Great Emperor Ziwei knew his trump card, nor how much information the other party knew.

But he knew that this battle would absolutely be the most perilous one since his emergence.

Under the augmentation of the Great Array of Heavenly Stars, the sun moon crystal wheel attacked Luohu with full force.

At the same time, the taiji diagram and the pangu banner also unleashed unprecedented power in Wang Chen's hands.

Although these two innate supreme treasures were only initially refined, and not many Innate Restrictions had been refined.

However, with the augmentation of the Great Array of Heavenly Stars, his Realm strength in a short period had subtly surpassed the World God Realm.

He directly used his current Realm strength to forcefully unleash the power of these two innate supreme treasures.

After all, at this moment, it was no exaggeration to say that his Divine Power was endless.

Just before Luohu could fully unleash the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, the taiji diagram directly pressed down upon the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

The mighty power of the Heavenly Stars was directly added to it, and the taiji diagram evolved countless profound mysteries.

Even though the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, under Luohu's control, put up the fiercest resistance, it still couldn't break free in a short time.

Luohu's face was extremely grim at this moment. This was the disadvantage of having his trump card known by the opponent; it was suppressed before he could even use it.

Helpless, Luohu could only hold the god slaying spear to barely block the attack of the pangu banner, then charge towards the taiji diagram.

His only way out now was to free the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation as quickly as possible.

Wang Chen snorted coldly at the sight. In an instant, Luohu felt a dizzying sensation, his mind hazy.

He was greatly alarmed, clearly Great Emperor Ziwei had used the great Divine Ability of 'Words Become Law' again.

But this time, the other party didn't speak, but merely snorted coldly, which caught Luohu off guard.

By the time Luohu regained consciousness, he had already been struck down by a giant astral hand, and the sun moon crystal wheel was approaching. Infinite danger enveloped him at this moment.

The Heaven-Opening Blade directly broke through the defense of the world-destroying black lotus. Luohu urgently twisted his body, but half of his body still turned into ashes.

A mouthful of fresh blood gushed from his mouth, but the crisis was not over. The sun moon crystal wheel attacked him from front and back.

Luohu hastily used the nine demon pagoda and the newly acquired yin yang mirror to defend, while simultaneously thrusting the god slaying spear with all his might, attempting to catch the taiji diagram off guard by directly attacking it across space.

At that point, with the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation resisting with full power and the god slaying spear assisting from outside, it would be an opportunity for the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to break free from the suppression.

Clang~

Unfortunately, Wang Chen was already prepared. The green lotus precious color flag directly appeared beside the taiji diagram, making it impossible for the god slaying spear's attack to break through the defense.

At this moment, Luohu finally experienced the despair Hongjun felt back then. He was unable to resist, and even a slight flaw could lead to his demise.

The moment his trump card was known by the opponent, his chances of victory were already slim.

What's more, this time, his trump card, which he had nurtured for endless years, didn't even have a chance to be used and was directly suppressed ruthlessly.

The nine demon pagoda and the yin yang mirror resisted for a moment before being struck flying by the sun moon crystal wheel. Luohu injected infinite magical power into the world-destroying black lotus, finally shaking off the sun moon crystal wheel just before it struck him.

But what awaited him was the next irresistible attack.

In front of Wang Chen, who was augmented by the Great Array of Heavenly Stars, Luohu appeared incredibly weak at this moment.

Temporarily breaking free from the attacks, Demon Ancestor Luohu seized the fleeting gap to instantly circulate his magic power, restoring his body to its original state.

"Pfft!"

His body had been restored in a rush, and the residual Laws of the Heaven-Opening Blade had not been completely purged. Demon Ancestor Luohu had no time to carefully treat these wounds; he could only endure the injuries and continue to face Wang Chen's attacks.

"Boom!"

A bolt of purple divine lightning descended from the sky, its terrifying aura causing ripples to spread across the Void Realm.

Powerful attacks also struck him from other directions.

The attacks from the sun moon crystal wheel and the pangu banner left Demon Ancestor Luohu overwhelmed, placing him in mortal danger multiple times. Now, facing an even more ferocious assault, he could no longer hold his ground.

The defenses of the world-destroying black lotus, the nine demon pagoda, and the yin yang mirror were shattered in the blink of an eye, and the purple divine lightning pierced straight through Demon Ancestor Luohu's body and Divine Soul.

His body crashed down from the sky, the violent impact causing the Netherworld Sea of Blood to surge with waves.

Demon Ancestor Luohu braced his broken body and severe Dao wounds to stand up with difficulty; he now had no path of retreat.

Without the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, he lacked the confidence to resist Great Emperor Ziwei.

The opponent's strength was immeasurably greater than his own; he couldn't even break through the opponent's attacks, let alone dream of escaping.

Not to mention that other top experts might be hidden in the shadows, especially Old Ancestor Yangmei. With him present, Demon Ancestor Luohu knew he could not outrun them.

'It is a pity that this is not the West; otherwise, I could have detonated the Western ley lines and dragged Great Emperor Ziwei down with me.'

Demon Ancestor Luohu knew he had no chance of survival. He had just tried to trigger the contingency plans he left in the West, but unfortunately, this region had long been sealed off by Great Emperor Ziwei, rendering his methods completely useless.

"I never expected that after all the fighting between Hongjun and me, it would be a junior like you who reaped the benefits in the end. How truly unwilling I am."

As Demon Ancestor Luohu spoke, chains of Law had already completely bound him.

Wang Chen looked at him; a sarcastic smile first bloomed on his face, then gradually returned to calm, with only a flash of unwillingness visible in his eyes.

"Your actions from beginning to end have run contrary to the Primordial World. Even without me, you would never have been able to defeat Hongjun."

Wang Chen delivered this cruel truth to the Demon Ancestor before him.

"Cough, cough!"

Demon Ancestor Luohu coughed up two mouthfuls of black-red blood, with purple thunder constantly jumping and flashing within the blood.

The blood of a Late Stage Quasi-Saint was soon completely obliterated by the purple thunder.

"Oh? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Ziwei knows some unknown inside information?"

Demon Ancestor Luohu did not care about his own injuries; he was already bound and lacked even a shred of power to resist. His fate was entirely up to a single thought from this Great Emperor Ziwei.

Instead, he was now more interested in Wang Chen's words.

"The mission of the Heavenly Dao is to let the Primordial World develop better, and even to allow the Primordial World to ascend. Do you really think the Demonic Path can shoulder such a heavy responsibility?"

After saying this, Wang Chen stopped talking to Demon Ancestor Luohu and pointed a finger at the center of his brow, giving him the same treatment as Hongjun.

Sensing the somewhat turbulent Demonic Path Laws within Demon Ancestor Luohu, Wang Chen advised, "I advise you not to have too many thoughts; that will only lead you to destruction."

"If you do not resist, I will let your true spirit survive, and there will be a time for your return."

"This place is sealed by me, so you cannot even communicate with the Heavenly Dao, and there are seals from other Fellow Daoists outside. Even if you were prepared, how many layers of seals could you break through?"

He looked at Demon Ancestor Luohu with a meaningful smile, but in the eyes of Demon Ancestor Luohu, this smile was more terrifying than any flood or beast.

Just how vast and powerful was this Great Emperor Ziwei? Why did he, the dignified Demon Ancestor Luohu, seem like an open book in the eyes of the other?

Everything about him had been seen through; his defeat was not unjust.

Watching Great Emperor Ziwei suppress the world-destroying black lotus and the god slaying spear with one hand, Demon Ancestor Luohu finally abandoned the idea of self-detonation to escape.

This method was originally prepared for Hongjun and others; it seemed it would not be needed after all.

Thinking of this, Demon Ancestor Luohu was so angry he laughed.

'This Heavenly Dao is far too biased, having told Great Emperor Ziwei almost all of his information.'

'What is the point of this Dao struggle? You might as well just appoint Great Emperor Ziwei directly.'

These were Demon Ancestor Luohu's final thoughts.

Old Ancestor Yangmei and the others watched as Great Emperor Ziwei took out a jade bottle and collected Demon Ancestor Luohu's true spirit.

"Does Fellow Daoist Ziwei really intend to give him a chance to return?"

Ancestor Qiankun frowned slightly and looked at Wang Chen with some confusion.

Wang Chen had not hidden those words from them, so the few top experts present had all heard them.

"I do indeed have this intention. Not only is Demon Ancestor Luohu's true spirit here, but Hongjun's true spirit is also in my hands."

"As long as I can Attain the Dao as the Creator God, I will allow these two Fellow Daoists to return."

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Qiankun and the others nodded in understanding. Knowing that Great Emperor Ziwei had his own plans, they stopped asking questions.

"Now that the Dao struggle has ended, the Primordial World will return to peace in a few days. I must now go to the West to handle some matters, so I will take my leave."

"Thank you all for your help this time. In the future, when you have time, you are welcome to visit Ziwei Star, and I will be sure to entertain you properly."

Wang Chen collected all of Demon Ancestor Luohu's Innate Spirit Treasures, thanked them once more, and then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared.

"I truly did not expect that this Calamity, under the intervention of Fellow Daoist Ziwei, would be passed so easily."

Everyone who had experienced the previous Calamity deeply agreed with these words from Ancestral Dragon.

Many emotions stirred within their hearts.

The tragedy of the Fierce Beast Calamity was still fresh in their minds; it would be no exaggeration to call it a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Countless Innate Deities and Innate lifeforms had fallen at the hands of the Vicious Beasts, and many gifted experts had perished on the path to resisting the beasts.

"On the surface, this Calamity was a struggle for hegemony among the three clans, but in secret, it was actually a Dao struggle concerning the future direction of the Primordial World."

"To be able to reach this point today, I must say that Fellow Daoist Ziwei deserves the greatest credit."

Old Ancestor Yangmei had already received a promise from Great Emperor Ziwei, allowing him to remain in the Primordial World after Attaining the Dao.

Therefore, he was in a good mood and was willing to chat with them here for a while.

"Perhaps from the moment we headed to the starry sky, his every move had been quietly influencing us."

"However, the most critical turning point must have started when Great Emperor Ziwei gave each of our three clans a Formation."

Yuan Feng sorted out the development of the entire matter and finally looked at the fiery red jade seal in her hand.

"That's right, Great Emperor Ziwei left in such a hurry just now that we haven't returned this jade seal to him yet."

Beginning Qilin's sudden remark successfully broke the original atmosphere.

In an instant, the gazes of Five Elements Ancestor, Ancestral Dragon, and Yuan Feng all turned toward Beginning Qilin as if looking at a fool; did he really think they didn't know about this?

"If Fellow Daoist Beginning Qilin is unwilling to comprehend it, you can leave this opportunity to me."

Ancestor Qiankun looked at the earthy yellow jade seal in Beginning Qilin's hand with fiery eyes.

"Haha, since Fellow Daoist Ziwei did not take it back, he must have given us the opportunity to comprehend it. Why don't we find a place to practice and comprehend it together?"

Seeing this, Five Elements Ancestor gave Ancestor Qiankun a reassuring look and then extended an invitation.

"Good."

"Agreed."

"That is exactly what I intended."

Everyone agreed without the slightest hesitation; even Old Ancestor Yangmei intended to go and take a look.

After Demon Ancestor Luohu fell, there was no sign of the fragment of the jade disc of creation at the site, which was also the reason why Wang Chen hurriedly bade farewell to the others and returned to the West.

"I wonder if Demon Ancestor Luohu sent it away through some secret means, or if he never carried it on him from the very beginning."

Wang Chen was more inclined towards the second guess; after all, there were likely very few means in the Primordial World capable of breaking through his blockade at that time.

One must know that at that time, he was empowered by the Great Array of Heavenly Stars, and his Realm and strength far exceeded those of Demon Ancestor Luohu; every move the other made was clearly visible to him.

Returning to the West again, the great battle here had not yet subsided, and one could easily see the scene of the three clans battling with the Demon Race.

Near Mount Sumeru, Wang Chen's Incarnation, along with the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger, were currently battling with a Grand Unity Golden Immortal of the Demon Race.

It had to be said that the foundation of the Demon Race was still very deep; even though many had been killed by Old Ancestor Yang Mei, so many Grand Unity Golden Immortals were still emerging now.

He did not interfere in the battle below; after all, those might turn into heavenly dao merit after the tribulation ended.

Moreover, he had important matters to attend to now and had no time to deal with these.

The Formation on Mount Sumeru had now recovered on its own, though its operation was not as seamless as before.

Behind Wang Chen, the sun moon crystal wheel bloomed with divine radiance, appearing like a small sun and a small moon as it collided resoundingly with the Formation guarding Mount Sumeru.

Crack! Crack!

The entire Formation crumbled inch by inch under the passage of the sun moon crystal wheel, and there was no longer any possibility of it recovering.

The Lord of Heart Demons stood before the Immortal Cave of the Demon Ancestor, watching everything happen with his own eyes without making the slightest move.

From the moment Demon Ancestor Luohu fell, he had a premonition and knew that the Demon Race was finished.

Although the other party had covered it up, and added to the fact that the heavenly secrets were obscure and unclear during the period of the tribulation, that feeling in his heart of losing his backbone could not be faked.

Without the protection of Demon Ancestor Luohu, the Demon Race was even worse off than the three clans; having been too notorious before, they would certainly face reckoning.

Now that the one who would carry out the reckoning had arrived, he had no ability to resist, nor did he dare to retaliate.

Great Emperor Ziwei's vast Divine Thought shrouded the entire Mount Sumeru, and the next moment, the other party's figure appeared before his eyes.

Even though he had been prepared, the Lord of Heart Demons still felt his pupils constrict.

A powerful and overbearing pressure forced all of his Devilish Qi back into his body.

Before the Lord of Heart Demons could react, Wang Chen tapped a finger on his brow, beginning to examine the other's memories.

From the moment of the other's birth until Demon Ancestor Luohu left Mount Sumeru, at the end of the images, everything suddenly disappeared, leaving only the figure of Demon Ancestor Luohu in place.

"So, I have failed after all."

Demon Ancestor Luohu closed his eyes for a long time before completely accepting this fact.

"I did not expect that Fellow Daoist Ziwei would truly fulfill the promise and preserve my true spirit."

Demon Ancestor Luohu sensed it for a while and could not help but sigh with emotion; it was he who had measured a gentleman's stature with a petty man's yardstick.

Putting himself in the other's shoes, if he had won in the end, he would absolutely not have spared the other's true spirit.

"My word is worth a thousand pieces of gold; I naturally would not easily go back on it. When I said that you would have a day of return, it was not false."

Demon Ancestor Luohu watched Great Emperor Ziwei say these words with a serious face, and he suddenly laughed.

"I did not expect that there would be someone like you in the Primordial World. However, it is also fortunate that it was Fellow Daoist Ziwei who won the Dao struggle in the end."

"I presume Fellow Daoist Ziwei has come to look for the fragment of the jade disc of creation. It is in my Immortal Cave, where there is a Demon Realm that I have pioneered, and that fragment is within it."

"I look forward to the day we meet again, Fellow Daoist."

"Hmm."

After Wang Chen obtained the answer he wanted, a smile appeared on his face as well.

Demon Ancestor Luohu's figure disappeared, quietly awaiting the day of his return.

Wang Chen withdrew his hand; the figure of the Lord of Heart Demons was no longer before his eyes, having fallen under the backlash of the River of Time.

Demon Ancestor Luohu had cast his will from the upstream of the River of Time relying on the memories of the Lord of Heart Demons, and the final backlash was not something a Grand Unity Golden Immortal could withstand.

However, considering his contribution, Wang Chen preserved his true spirit.

Before entering Demon Ancestor Luohu's Immortal Cave, Wang Chen sacrificed all his protective Spirit Treasures, and the star chart was hung above his head early on, ready at all times.

After all, it was Demon Ancestor Luohu's Immortal Cave; he still chose to be a little careful to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

Gently waving the pangu banner, the Chaos Sword Qi broke the Formation guarding the outside of the Immortal Cave, and Wang Chen stepped inside.

Rather than an Immortal Cave, it would be better to say that this place was a world.

As one of the top blessed lands in the Primordial World, the size of the blessed land was completely not inferior to a Major Thousand Worlds.

Above the blessed land, two suns hung in the high sky; one was a projection of the Primordial Sun Star, and the other was a black sun filled with sinister Devilish Qi.

The Devilish Qi emitted by the black sun permeated the entire blessed land, and the creatures inside had long been eroded by the Devilish Qi and had changed; now, whether plants or other living beings, they were all living very well in the Devilish Qi.

Wang Chen did not pay attention to these ordinary things; with a few steps, he had already appeared before a palace.

The entire palace was very magnificent and imposing, crafted entirely from black jade, and one could vaguely see Demon patterns appearing within it; it was clearly an Acquired Spirit Treasure.

However, this time Wang Chen's destination was not here; after he entered the blessed land, that large fragment of the jade disc of creation in his Divine Sense reacted.

Behind Demon Ancestor Luohu's palace, there was a garden created relying on natural scenery, which should be a place for Demon Ancestor Luohu to relax in his spare time.

There were mountains and water here, with a scene at every step, and every place secretly conformed to the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

Surrounding it were some innate spiritual roots that Demon Ancestor Luohu had collected from the Primordial World.

Such as bitter bamboo and purple jade grapes, etc.

Without checking them one by one, he came to the deepest part of the garden, where a world was quietly suspended above a dark pool.

According to the guidance of the fragment of the jade disc of creation in his Divine Sense, the one Wang Chen was looking for was within this world.

Before his eyes was a Major Thousand Worlds pioneered by Demon Ancestor Luohu, in which various kinds of Demon Race lived; it seemed that Demon Ancestor Luohu should have made many attempts within it.

The Heavenly Dao of this world vaguely coincided with that fragment of the jade disc of creation, and through various clues, Wang Chen could see that Demon Ancestor Luohu was also researching the method of merging with the Dao.

After carefully investigating and confirming there was no danger, Wang Chen reached out and grabbed, and the fragment of the jade disc of creation flew into his hand.

From then on, all fragments of the jade disc of creation were in his, Wang Chen's, hands.

"A Chaos Supreme Treasure! Haha, I have two of them."

Wang Chen laughed out loud.

After preliminarily refining the fragment of the jade disc of creation in his hand and storing it away, Wang Chen finally turned his gaze toward the Immortal Cave before him.

As the premier top-tier blessed land in the West, its value was self-evident.

The West today had not suffered major destruction to its ley lines because of Luo Hou, so whether it was Mount Sumeru itself or the entire West, its resources were still extremely abundant.

"Let me organize things a little and see which Incarnation is willing to take Mount Sumeru as their Daoist temple."

Regarding the environment of the West and Mount Sumeru, the first Incarnation Wang Chen thought of was the Black Emperor, though he still needed to see his own opinion.

Crack~

Surging cold air erupted from the pitch-black pool, and everything around the pool was covered in a layer of ice crystals.

Wang Chen clearly felt death, extreme cold, resentment, and Evil Qi within that pool...

Previously, his focus had been on the world itself, but now, upon careful observation, he realized this pitch-black pool did not seem to be an ordinary object either.

Extracting a drop of the pitch-black water into his hand, after careful observation, Wang Chen finally confirmed that the water in this pool was netherworld true water.

netherworld true water discarded the water's extreme softness and life-nurturing power, so in terms of lethality, it could rank among the top of the many divine waters.

Freezing all things and sealing three thousand worlds was the true reflection of netherworld true water.

Furthermore, netherworld true water also contained some characteristics of the earth's evil, so it had an erosive effect on a Cultivator's Divine Soul as well as Magic Treasures and Spirit Treasures.

"If the Black Emperor knew there was netherworld true water here, I probably wouldn't even need to open my mouth; he would be begging me to bestow this place upon him."

Wang Chen smiled and collected some netherworld true water with a jade bottle, then his gaze lingered on the Major Thousand Worlds opened up by Luo Hou.

Since this place was to be given to his own Incarnation as a Daoist temple, this Immortal Cave needed to be tidied up a bit to avoid any subsequent errors.

Wang Chen held the Demonic Path Major Thousand Worlds in his hand, and with a gentle turn of his palm, everything originally in the Major Thousand Worlds vanished.

The entire world fell into a restart state; no matter what methods Luo Hou had left inside, they would disappear completely.

The sun crystal wheel behind him pierced through space, and the next moment, the sun emitting Devilish Qi in the sky dissipated.

The sun crystal wheel hung in the sky, blooming with immeasurable brilliance, illuminating the entire Mount Sumeru Immortal Cave, and in a short time, all the Devilish Qi was purified completely.

Putting away the bitter bamboo and purple jade grapes, Wang Chen walked toward Luo Hou's palace.

Since Luo Hou had already fallen, this Acquired Spirit Treasure no longer had an owner, and the autonomously operating Restriction could not block Wang Chen at all, forcing it to let him enter.

After taking a tour, he found that there was nothing useful inside.

With this, the purpose of coming here had been accomplished.

Before leaving, he completely returned the palace to its original state, so that after the Black Emperor arrived, he could refine his own palace according to his own needs.

Walking out of the Mount Sumeru Immortal Cave, the battles across the West were drawing to a close, and it was presumed that it wouldn't be long before the rampaging Demon Race would be completely wiped out.

Casually setting up a Formation to protect Mount Sumeru, Wang Chen transformed into a stream of light and left the Western Continent, heading toward Yujing Mountain.

There was still a top-grade innate spiritual root, the Ren Water Flat Peach, there.

Central Primordial, Yujing Mountain.

Yujing Mountain was not located on the Primordial Great Land; in fact, it was a white jade immortal mountain floating above the Nine Heavens.

The entire Yujing Mountain was constantly emitting immortal light, and even within that immortal light, there were traces of golden light of Karma.

Only when Wang Chen got close did he realize that this Yujing Mountain was just like Mount Zhou, constantly converting Chaos Qi into Spiritual Qi.

"No wonder the entire Yujing Mountain emits a faint golden light; this Daoist temple is simply a level higher than Mount Sumeru."

Among the many Immortal Caves he had seen, this Yujing Mountain could be considered the most marvelous and extraordinary.

"I wonder if the legendary Three Immortal Islands are as marvelous, but it's not yet the time for them to emerge, and they are still drifting in some Void Realm."

"When I have time, I can go to Kunlun Mountain for a walk and compare them to see which one is better."

Thinking this way, Wang Chen realized that he had not been to many famous places in the Primordial world.

Since his birth, he had spent most of his time managing the starry sky and Cultivating.

Successfully arriving at Yujing Mountain, Wang Chen put Hongjun's true spirit back into the jade bottle.

This place was indeed a bit hard to find, and Wang Chen had no choice but to let Hongjun help point the way.

Guarding Yujing Mountain was an Innate Grand Array; if an ordinary person did not obtain the recognition of the Formation's owner, then they could never arrive at Yujing Mountain.

Fortunately, Hongjun had already handed him the method to master this Formation.

Wang Chen's hand seals changed constantly, and the originally slightly illusory Yujing Mountain gradually solidified with the changes in the hand seals.

Only by truly understanding this Innate Grand Array would one understand its trickiness.

As long as you do not understand the Great Dao Laws and Formation principles contained within it, then Yujing Mountain is like a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water; even if your escape speed is fast, you cannot get close to it.

If you were to force your way in, the entire Yujing Mountain would escape into the Void Realm and disappear.

One wonders how Hongjun managed to crack this Innate Grand Array back then.

Wang Chen walked in leisurely, and soon after, the scenery suddenly changed, and the incoming Spiritual Qi made him feel refreshed.

Everything before his eyes was like a true Immortal Realm.

The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth condensed into mist.

Everywhere he looked, there were immortal flowers not commonly seen in the Primordial world.

Perhaps only Mount Zhou in the entire Primordial world could steady surpass this Yujing Mountain Immortal Cave.

The most eye-catching part of the entire Immortal Cave was the center, the floating immortal island surrounded by ten thousand mountains.

It was surrounded by clouds and mist, emitting bursts of soft immortal light.

After careful investigation, Wang Chen discovered that this Yujing Mountain Immortal Cave was much larger than the Mount Sumeru Immortal Cave.

Walking a few steps to the center of the Immortal Cave, the cascading waterfalls fell like the Milky Way, and various immortal lights radiated from the misty water.

Riding a cloud and landing on the island, he easily found the top-grade innate spiritual root, the Ren Water Flat Peach.

Wang Chen's Divine Sense swept across the entire immortal island, and a look of surprise appeared on his face again.

The Yujing Mountain Immortal Cave itself had given him a surprise.

Unexpectedly, on this immortal island, there were two more surprises left for him by Hongjun.

At the center of the island was a golden pool, where strands of heavenly dao merit were accepted and integrated into the golden pool water.

Above the golden pool water, a twelve-grade golden lotus of merit that had not yet fully bloomed floated quietly, its roots taking hold in the pool water, constantly absorbing heavenly dao merit to nurture itself.

These two treasures were none other than the Eight Treasures Merit Pool and the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit.

"Can I just say, as expected of Hongjun; he has so many Innate Spirit Treasures that he can use them to decorate his Daoist temple."

After once again sighing at Hongjun's wealth, Wang Chen stood on the clouds and looked around the Yujing Mountain Immortal Cave, liking it more the more he looked.

This was not just a Daoist temple, but a Karma manufacturing machine; as long as Yujing Mountain could convert Spiritual Qi, then heavenly dao merit would be indispensable.

It seemed like there wasn't much heavenly dao merit in the short term, but accumulated over time, it was also a terrifying number.

Moreover, Hongjun did not extensively decorate the place after obtaining this Daoist temple; everything here almost maintained its original flavor, which was the best part.

He very much disliked how Luo Hou had made the Mount Sumeru Immortal Cave such a mess.

Since he liked it, he would not stand on ceremony; he arrived at the core of the Immortal Cave.

There was a jade stone tablet here, just like the one outside Yujing Mountain, engraved with three dao patterns; no matter what creature looked at it, they would understand its true meaning.

Yujing Mountain!

Wang Chen erased the mark Hongjun had left inside and began to gradually refine and take control of the entire Yujing Mountain.

While refining this Immortal Cave, Wang Chen was also constantly comprehending the Innate Grand Array guarding this place; he had to say, he was very interested in the Great Dao Laws contained within it.

Time flew, and dozens of years passed quietly.

Perhaps because he had won the Dao struggle, Wang Chen found that his speed in comprehending the Great Dao of heaven and earth was much faster than before.

The Formation that was originally expected to take a hundred years to comprehend was now completed in nearly half the time.

Closing his eyes to feel it, sure enough, his own Luck was constantly increasing at a slow pace.

Wang Chen had always cared about his own Luck; during the time he first appeared, his Luck was suppressed by the ziwei fate plate.

Since he obtained the chaos bead, this Chaos Supreme Treasure had been responsible for suppressing his own Luck.

Looking at his vast and majestic Luck, Wang Chen felt that his Luck alone might be comparable to or even exceed that of the three clans.

"I'll go out and take a look, then go into seclusion to Breakthrough to the Creator God as quickly as possible."

"As the winner of the entire Primordial Dao struggle, and also the one with the greatest Luck in the Primordial world, I can't really let Ancestor Yang Mei be the first to Breakthrough to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal."

"If that really happened, it would not only cause me to lose face, but I would also lose a huge amount of Luck."

"In the Primordial world, as long as you are the first, you will have corresponding Luck added to you; being the first to Attain the Dao as a Creator God will definitely yield extraordinary gains."

Thinking of this, Wang Chen quickly left Yujing Mountain, and while heading to Ziwei Star, his gaze turned toward the Primordial Great Land.

He wanted to confirm before going into seclusion whether this calamity had truly ended.

Decades passed, and most parts of the West had returned to their original tranquility, with only sporadic fighting occurring in some places.

Through the memories of his Incarnation, Wang Chen understood the situation instantly.

In those few places, some were Demon Race Great Overarching Immortals who had hidden themselves, gathering the scattered Demon Race to claim territory as kings.

There were also a few places where the Vicious Beast clans that Luo Hou had once taken in remained, the most powerful of which were Qiongqi, Taowu, Taotie, and Hundun.

They were able to survive in the West only because of Luo Hou's favor, and now that Luo Hou had fallen, they actually spontaneously began to resist those who were hunting the Demon Race.

Looking at it this way, although these Vicious Beasts were fierce, they also had some loyalty, but this obviously did not fit Wang Chen's plan.

The Primordial world must quickly return to its former peace, and any budding signs that might cause the calamity to erupt again must be nipped in the bud.

With the star chart hanging above his head, the Great Array of Heavenly Stars once again blessed him.

Wang Chen raised his hand and pressed down toward the West from afar.

In an instant, the clouds above the Nine Heavens dissipated, a giant hand covering the sky descended, and those fiercely resisting Demon Race were wiped out in an instant.

Immediately after, the starlight giant hand split into four, and the Four Fierce Beasts were snatched away like little chicks, without any power to resist.

The three clans, who were originally fighting with the Demon Race and Vicious Beasts, were full of shock when they saw this scene.

"Is... is this the method of Great Emperor Ziwei?"

"A Grand Unity Golden Immortal seems to be no different from an ordinary creature in front of him."

"There is still a little difference; for ordinary creatures, Great Emperor Ziwei only needs to take a look, but for a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, it's different; he needs a giant hand covering the sky."

The three clans who saw this scene gathered together and began to discuss.

One of the Qilin Clan Grand Unity Golden Immortals, after hearing the words of a Dragon Clan Taiyi Golden Immortal, analyzed it for the other with great pride.

Ignoring the three clans arguing together, Wang Chen's Incarnation and Vermilion Bird and others saw that the matters below were finished, so they prepared to return to the starry sky together.

"Eh? Black Emperor, are you not returning to the starry sky with us?"

White Tiger saw the Black Emperor standing still and asked as he turned back from mid-air.

"No, Great Emperor Ziwei said that Luo Hou has fallen, and Mount Sumeru is temporarily ownerless, so he bestowed it upon me."

"I heard he also left me a surprise, and I intend to go see it first."

The Black Emperor's words were very flat, but White Tiger's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Really? I wonder if we can go see it together."

I don't know when, but Vermilion Bird, Old Ancestor Xuanwu, Fox Ancestor, and True Man Kong Ming had all returned.

"All right, it doesn't hurt to go see it together."

It was hard for the Black Emperor to imagine why a group of Great Overarching Emperor Lords loved to join in the fun so much.

Watching the crowd following the Black Emperor away, the Northern Emperor stood in the Void Realm and couldn't help but sigh.

"I really envy them, having the time to visit some Immortal Cave, while only the two of us are left to return to the starry sky as quickly as possible to deal with all kinds of matters."

"I don't know if anything went wrong while we were away from the starry sky."

The Northern Emperor and the Canglan Incarnation looked at each other, as if they saw someone in the same boat, shook their heads and smiled bitterly, then turned into streams of light and headed toward the starry sky.

As all the resistance from the Demon Race vanished, the calamity qi in the sky suddenly dissipated by more than half.

The remaining calamity qi would dissipate once the three clans began to truly fulfill their Heavenly Dao vows.

Wang Chen's action just now also alarmed everyone who was comprehending the Myriad Phenomena Life and Death Great Array, and at the same time, they also noticed the changes in the calamity qi between heaven and earth.

The three, Ancestor Dragon and the others, looked at each other, knowing that now was not the time to comprehend the Formation; it was obvious that Great Emperor Ziwei was eager to let this calamity dissipate.

At the same time, this was also what they thought in their hearts.

"Fellow Daoists, we must return to fulfill our Heavenly Dao vows, so I'm afraid this Formation can only be comprehended up to this point."

Although Ancestor Qiankun and Five Elements Ancestor felt it was a pity, they also understood the priorities, so they nodded and said goodbye.

"Three Fellow Daoists, please return with peace of mind; the matter of the calamity is more important."

After saying goodbye, they each returned to their own Daoist temples.

After they left, the four square jade seals simultaneously turned into streams of light and returned to Wang Chen's hands.

Five Elements Ancestor and Ancestor Qiankun kept watching the jade seals disappear; it was clear that they had gained a lot during this period and were reluctant to see the jade seals leave.

Wang Chen saw all of this in his eyes.

"Since you like them so much, when I Attain the Dao as a Creator God, I will reward each of you with a set."

As the three clans began to gradually fulfill their oaths, the calamity qi between heaven and earth quickly dissipated.

Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Beginning Qilin did not break their word either; they brought the vast majority of their clansmen to the starry sky.

Each of the three clans selected a Star Domain to open up a world of their own.

Due to their extensive comprehension of the Myriad Phenomena Life and Death Great Array, the three leaders, including Ancestral Dragon, discovered that many of the methods within were inextricably linked to the creation of worlds.

This unexpected surprise made the process of opening their worlds much smoother.

Previously, the starry sky was sealed, so the three clans had no concept of its development; it wasn't until they truly witnessed the brilliant civilization of the Mountain Sea Realm that they realized their previous behavior was indeed somewhat primitive.

Many young members of the three clans began to linger and forget to return after visiting the Mountain Sea Realm, and Ancestral Dragon and the others were happy to see this happen.

The Divine Dao was prevalent in the Mountain Sea Realm; it was good to let the younger generations learn more about this knowledge now.

Great Emperor Ziwei won the great dao struggle in this Great Calamity; as long as he could take one step further, the Divine Dao would become the mainstream of the Primordial Great Land.

Not to mention those young members of the three clans, even Ancestral Dragon and the other two were frequently visiting Vermilion Bird and the others.

Great Emperor Ziwei was in seclusion, so they did not dare to disturb him lightly.

To understand the cultivation methods of the Divine Dao, they could only get to know those who had followed the Great Emperor for a long time.

The three clans no longer competed for hegemony, and their Realm and strength could no longer improve; they urgently needed to find a new path.

The Divine Dao happened to be the best choice; someone had already blazed a trail ahead, and they only needed to follow it step by step.

Under Wang Chen's instructions, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and the others did not keep secrets and began to explain the cultivation methods of the Divine Dao to Ancestral Dragon and the others.

At this point, the three clans could be considered to have settled down peacefully in the starry sky.

With the Primordial Great Land suddenly lacking the rule of the three clans, many living beings were overjoyed and spread the news, bringing a lot of Life Qi to the Primordial Great Land for a time.

Although many places were a mess due to the fighting and homes were destroyed or even disappeared, the creatures originally living there were willing to work together to restore their homes to their former glory.

It was a scene of prosperity.

As for the members of the three clans who remained on the Primordial Great Land, most of them were those burdened with Karma.

To repay the Karma on their bodies, they were assigned to various positions one by one to begin benefiting the Primordial Great Land.

Depending on their individual Karma, there were Dragon Clansmen suppressing the Sea Eyes and those who brought clouds and rain.

To prevent any chaos, Ancestral Dragon left Azure Dragon on the Primordial Great Land to preside over all of this.

As one of the three ancestors of the Dragon Clan, Azure Dragon had enough prestige and strength to convince all the Dragons.

The so-called three ancestors of the Dragon Clan were Ancestral Dragon, Yinglong, and Azure Dragon.

However, since the Dragon Clan settled in the starry sky, Yinglong had never appeared again.

In fact, if the Dragon Clan didn't say it themselves, outsiders wouldn't know for a short time.

Unfortunately, a young Dragon accidentally revealed a piece of news while drinking and making merry in the Mountain Sea Realm.

That was, after Yinglong came to the starry sky, he began seclusion to fully switch his cultivation to the Divine Dao.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was attentive.

Soon, this news spread through various circles.

Later, for some unknown reason, that Dragon disciple actually came out to explain that he was just talking nonsense while drunk.

This explanation didn't help; instead, it made things worse, and all sorts of rumors began to fly all over the Mountain Sea Realm.

From then on, that Dragon disciple never showed his face in the Mountain Sea Realm again.

According to a certain Dragon who wished to remain anonymous, that Dragon disciple seemed to have been thrown into the Four Seas to suppress a Sea Eye, and then he said no more.

With this incident, the three clans once again experienced the difference between the Mountain Sea Realm and the Primordial Great Land.

They still had a long way to go to completely integrate here.

Five hundred years after the three clans came to the starry sky, Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Beginning Qilin found the Northern Emperor together.

Over the years, they had also understood that Great Emperor Ziwei generally did not manage the affairs of the starry sky; everything was handled by his Incarnation, the Northern Emperor.

"Primordial Phoenix greets Fellow Daoist Northern Emperor."

After the three of them exchanged greetings with the Northern Emperor one by one, they began to talk about the purpose of their visit.

"Fellow Daoist Northern Emperor, five hundred years have passed, and our three clans are also fulfilling the oaths we made back then one by one."

"Now, only a small amount of calamity qi remains in the world. Presumably, once we complete the final merit of enlightenment, the calamity qi will completely disappear."

"It's just that our three clans have no previous experience in this area, and we are afraid of making mistakes. I wonder if you could teach us."

Primordial Phoenix's phoenix eyes were fixed on the Northern Emperor. Now only the last step remained; once this step was taken, her Phoenix Clan could rest easy.

"Oh? So it's about this. Speaking of enlightenment, I happen to have some insights."

"The so-called enlightenment is to guide living beings to develop in a better direction. The simplest way is to lead them toward kindness."

"Of course, you can also teach them cultivation methods, or spread the Dao far and wide, or take disciples to resolve their doubts."

"These are all forms of enlightenment, but you must also be careful to carefully screen the Heart-Nature of living beings when spreading the Dao. If those with evil intentions learn your Daoist methods, it may damage your Karma at that time."

Ancestral Dragon and the others nodded repeatedly, and they also had some direction regarding the enlightenment of living beings.

"I heard that most of the three clans remaining in the Primordial Great Land are burdened with Karma?"

Finally, the Northern Emperor looked at Ancestral Dragon and the others and asked.

Ancestral Dragon immediately understood the Northern Emperor's meaning upon hearing this.

"Rest assured, Northern Emperor. The matter of enlightenment is of great importance. We will definitely select those with excellent Heart-Nature to go and enlighten the living beings."

The Northern Emperor nodded upon hearing this.

"That is for the best."

"If you have anything you don't understand later, you can also come and ask me."

"Moreover, when it comes to enlightening living beings, the two Great Divine Courts in the Mountain Sea Realm are very experienced."

"You can also find them and have them teach your clansmen how to carry out enlightenment."

Ultimately, the Northern Emperor was still somewhat uneasy about the three clans. This matter concerned the Great Calamity; only success was allowed, and failure was not.

"Thank you for the guidance, Northern Emperor. Since the two Divine Courts have experience in this area, we don't need to grope around blindly anymore."

"It just so happens that we can invite some deities back to educate those worthless clansmen in our clan."

Ancestral Dragon also nodded in agreement.

"The two Divine Courts were able to stand out among the many Innate races; their strength in all aspects is indeed beyond doubt."

"Being able to invite the Divine Court to teach those juniors in the clan will surely allow them to learn a lot of knowledge."

Ancestral Dragon's words were indeed sincere; he knew exactly what the Merfolk Clan used to be like.

Look at them now; people from the Divine Court are all over the Mountain Sea Realm, and even in other worlds in the starry sky, their figures can occasionally be seen.

A race that originally didn't even have a God Realm is now about to have a Great Overarching Emperor Lord.

The development trajectories of the Merfolk Clan and the Feather Clan are almost like Great Emperor Ziwei's; if one is not careful, they have already become behemoths

After Ancestor Dragon and the other two left the Northern Emperor's dōjō, they immediately headed to the two great Divine Courts.

With the help of the Northern Emperor's oracle, both sides smoothly reached an agreement.

From then on, the three races officially began to civilize the three major groups: the Scaled, the Feathered, and the Beasts.

A thousand years slowly passed.

Amidst many expectant gazes, the calamity qi between heaven and earth finally dissipated completely.

Rumble~

An invisible Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao resonated within everyone's minds.

The gates of Ziwei Palace also swung open at this moment, and Wang Chen slowly stepped out. The Dao charm around him had become more harmonious and even more unfathomable.

"The calamity qi has dissipated; heaven and earth are clear and bright."

"As expected, there are many ways to end a Great Calamity."

"As long as one can ensure the subsequent development of the Primordial Great Land is better, it will suffice."

Through this Great Calamity, Wang Chen successfully verified that his previous conjecture was correct.

This was a cause for great celebration for Wang Chen.

This proved that he didn't have to follow a set path, and the Primordial Great Land didn't have to suffer immense destruction during the Great Calamity.

With this experience, he now had ways to deal with the subsequent Witch-Demon Tribulation and the Investiture of Gods Calamity.

As long as he remained in the Primordial Great Land, he would not let the Great Calamity develop in a way that harmed it.

Now that the Dragon-Han Calamity had just ended, he was blessed with great Luck, and his cultivation speed progressed by leaps and bounds.

Wang Chen would strive to Breakthrough to become a Creator God before Ancestor Yangmei; by then, everything would be settled.

Achieving the Dao as a Creator God would also increase his confidence in facing subsequent Great Calamities.

If anyone were disobedient, he would simply open up a world in the Chaos and throw them in.

Since they had so much energy, they could go and open up the Chaos.

Doing so would prevent them from ravaging the Primordial Great Land, help it accumulate its foundation, and allow these little fellows to release their energy.

Thinking about it this way, it was killing three birds with one stone—a plan worth considering deeply.

Everything Wang Chen did was to allow the Primordial Great Land to continuously ascend.

Divine Dao practitioners and the Primordial Great Land could be said to complement each other; a Breakthrough for either side was beneficial for both.

By helping the Primordial Great Land enhance its foundation, Wang Chen himself would also gain much from it.

If the Primordial Great Land could ascend to an Eternal Great World, then he, Great Emperor Ziwei, would also have the chance to achieve the Eternal Dao alongside it.

By helping the Primordial Great Land, he was actually helping himself.

Although his conjectures and plans were proceeding smoothly, he couldn't relax. After all, everything now was different from his memories, and he didn't know if the subsequent Great Calamities would also change.

This was the point Wang Chen needed to be most vigilant about.

This method of passing through a Great Calamity might also bring even greater crises in the future.

It might even cause the next Great Calamity to erupt more violently.

The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races had survived this Great Calamity.

Although they had lost some Origin Qi, with their foundations, they would likely recover quickly.

One must know that in the coming time, many Innate Deities would be born in the Primordial Great Land.

With three more factions surviving from the previous Great Calamity, the variables would certainly increase.

Especially the two Golden Crows on the Sun Star; among them, Dijun seemed to Cultivate the Law of the Imperial Dao.

He wondered what Dijun would think upon learning that he was an Innate Deity born from the Ziwei Imperial Star.

Furthermore, the current starry sky was vastly different from his memories. After one Great Calamity of development, countless worlds had been added to the starry sky, and the number of beings living there was immeasurable.

Coupled with the Seeds of Life that Wang Chen had placed into the primordial heavenly stars, which would also be born in this Great Calamity, this was clearly an Era of Great Contention.

It seemed he would need to make careful arrangements after achieving the Dao as a Creator God.

While Wang Chen was contemplating the future of the Primordial Great Land, thousands of golden rays appeared in the sky, and infinite heavenly dao merit was gathering.

Under countless expectant gazes, the gathered heavenly dao merit finally descended.

This time was different from before; the heavenly dao merit poured down like a heavenly river, cascading toward the Primordial Great Land.

Countless small streams fell into the hands of those Immortals and Gods who had made contributions during this Great Calamity.

Among them were the three races and the Vermilion Bird, who had finally cleaned up the rampaging Demon Race.

Even more fell into the hands of beings Wang Chen was unaware of, but who had also been silently contributing to the Primordial Great Land.

As the golden light grew more intense, more and more Karma descended from the sky.

Gradually, a thicker stream of heavenly dao merit poured down, eventually falling into the hands of Ancestor Yangmei.

At the same time, two significantly smaller streams of heavenly dao merit fell into the hands of the Five Elements Ancestor and Ancestor Qiankun.

After Luohu's fall, the two of them had traveled across the Primordial Great Land and performed many good deeds during that time; now, they were finally being rewarded.

Streams of heavenly dao merit continued to fall across the Primordial Great Land. Although the heavenly dao merit decreased over time, it was clear that seventy to eighty percent still remained.

Just as everyone wondered which other Immortals and Gods would be granted heavenly dao merit by the Heavenly Dao, a waterfall of heavenly dao merit cascaded down toward the Ziwei Star.

If the merit for ordinary Immortals and Gods was like rain from the sky, and for Ancestor Yangmei and the others like descending streams...

...then the heavenly dao merit descending toward the Ziwei Star was like great rivers and oceans falling from the heavens.

Even Wang Chen was shocked by such a massive amount of heavenly dao merit. Was the Heavenly Dao going all out?

However, since the Heavenly Dao had bestowed it, he had no reason not to accept it.

With a wave of his hand, all the heavenly dao merit immediately gathered behind Wang Chen, forming a golden wheel of merit.

He didn't plan to integrate this batch of heavenly dao merit into the sun moon crystal wheel; he would keep it for now in case of future need.

As Wang Chen was collecting the heavenly dao merit, countless people were shocked upon witnessing this scene.

So much heavenly dao merit bestowed upon a single person—did he save the world?

This was what those beings who didn't know what had happened during the Great Calamity thought.

Facing the questions of many beings, some who knew the inside story began to provide answers.

"You don't even know this? That location is the Ziwei Star, the dōjō of Great Emperor Ziwei."

"As for the achievements of Great Emperor Ziwei, this god could speak of them for days and nights without finishing. In short, you just need to know that the reason the Great Calamity ended so quickly is because of this Venerable Deity."

On the Primordial Great Land, an Innate Being who had heard of Wang Chen's deeds was traveling through the land performing good works.

Happening upon this descent of Karma, he began to tell those weak beings about the deeds of Great Emperor Ziwei.

At this very moment, this scene was playing out in many places across the Primordial Great Land simultaneously.

Most of them were Immortals and Gods who were grateful for Great Emperor Ziwei's benevolence and voluntarily spread his name.

From then on, the name of Great Emperor Ziwei was praised among many weak and newborn beings.

His feat of defeating the evil Demon Ancestor Luohu and saving the West from his hands became deeply rooted in the hearts of Western beings.

Meanwhile, the beings of the East and the Four Seas were more grateful that Great Emperor Ziwei had ended the hegemony of the three races, allowing the Primordial Great Land to return to its original state.

At this moment, not only did Karma descend from the heavens, but Power Of Faith also continuously gathered toward the starry sky.

In most places across the Primordial Great Land, the grandest celebrations were held on this very day.

They discussed the major events that occurred during the Calamity and celebrated their good life today.

Ziwei Star.

Wang Chen's gaze looked across the Primordial Great Land; everything was so beautiful.

After a long while, Wang Chen withdrew his gaze, his heart becoming more determined to protect this beautiful conviction.

"I am about to enter seclusion. This time, it may take a long while. Keep an eye on matters in the starry sky and on the Primordial Great Land."

His words echoed in the heart of every Incarnation.

With the Incarnations present, he could know in time even if something major happened.

Returning to Ziwei Palace, Wang Chen took out the complete jade disc of creation and began to comprehend the Dao.

After the Calamity ended, the Luck on him had increased several times over.

Now, his speed in comprehending the Dao was faster than before by an unknown amount.

This was certainly due to him winning the Dao struggle; the Luck of Hongjun, Luo Hou, and others had almost all come to him.

But it was certainly also because the Heavenly Dao was unwilling to let Old Ancestor Yang Mei be the first to Attain the Dao.

After all, the opponent was a Chaos Demon God Reincarnation in the Primordial Great Land; the Heavenly Dao was never at ease with these Chaos Demon Gods.

However, all of this was a good thing for Wang Chen. Although their starting points were different, his goal and the Heavenly Dao's goal were consistent.

Both wanted to be the first to Attain the Dao!

The heaven and earth Laws of Wang Chen's own world began to manifest in Ziwei Palace, intertwining and verifying with the Dao on the jade disc of creation.

The world he created began to perfect itself at an extremely fast speed, and various Daos were comprehended.

I do not know when, but the Heavenly Dao's gaze looked here, and the Laws between heaven and earth began to become exceptionally active.

In an instant, Wang Chen felt as if the Great Dao Laws of the entire Primordial Great Land were completely open to him.

From then on, the Daos of Wang Chen, the primordial heavens dao, and the jade disc of creation manifested in Ziwei Palace. They intertwined and verified each other, progressing at a speed that ordinary immortals and gods could not understand.

Hum~

Under this state, in just a few thousand years, Wang Chen successfully broke through to the Late Stage of the World God, and he continued to progress at a terrifying speed.

Time flew like a shuttle, the years passed like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, three eons had already passed.

The Primordial Great Land not only recovered its past vitality and prosperity, but because of frequent exchanges with the starry sky, scattered large cities were built throughout the Primordial Great Land.

At first, they completely copied the mode of cities in the Mountain Sea Realm, but after using it for a period of time, they discovered that the creatures on the Primordial Great Land and the creatures in the Mountain Sea Realm had different habits.

Thus, these creatures began to make modifications, and gradually, various cities began to flourish day by day.

Creatures in the Mountain Sea Realm, out of curiosity, would also come to the Primordial Great Land to experience different customs and practices.

Back and forth, the two sides gradually became familiar with each other. Among them, the Divine Court and merchant caravans were the first to discover business opportunities, and from then on, trade between the two sides began.

The growth of a city cannot be separated from the gathering of population.

Every city needs to have some unique foundation to attract people to settle here.

Starfire City in the West.

This is a city that developed mainly based on Artifact Refining. It took a volcano as the center and built outwards in all directions.

The location of Starfire City was quite particular. Not only was there a volcano that could help creatures with Artifact Refining, but it also had the richest mineral veins in the West.

There were many places around containing immortal gold and divine ores.

This was also the main reason why Starfire City could attract many bottom-tier creatures to settle here; they could exchange mining for considerable Spirit Stones.

Possessing a complete ecological environment also made Starfire City the most sought-after Artifact Refining city on the Primordial Great Land.

And the owner of this city was Iron Fiend, the Clan Chief of the Mountain Pig Clan who had been rescued by the Northern Emperor.

The reason why Iron Fiend built the city in the West was also because the Black Emperor's Dao arena was built on Mount Sumeru.

Since learning about the relationship between Great Emperor Ziwei, the Northern Emperor, and the Black Emperor, Iron Fiend did not hesitate and resolutely came to the West.

It was to respond to the Black Emperor's call to develop the West. While wanting to be closer to his benefactor, Iron Fiend also had his own small calculations.

Since settling in the West, he often ran to Mount Sumeru, claiming to listen to teachings.

In reality, his little thoughts were seen clearly by everyone, but it just so happened that this fellow got his wish.

Iron Fiend often claimed that his life had three major changes.

One was when Great Emperor Ziwei allowed his ignorant self to possess true wisdom and a future; the second was when the Northern Emperor saved his life and the lives of the Mountain Pig Clan from the hands of the Demon Race.

And the third was that he successfully became the Disciple of the Black Emperor; this action also caused his status and position to rise instantly.

The Mountain Pig Clan had always been proud of Iron Fiend's deeds and spread them on various occasions.

Of course, the Primordial Great Land had many changes during these three eons, and what was just described was only an insignificant fraction.

There were also quite a few major events.

First, there were four more World Gods in the Mountain Sea Realm.

With the methods left by Wang Chen, Vermilion Bird, Old Ancestor Xuanwu, Fox Ancestor, and White Tiger successfully broke through to become World Gods.

This matter also caused quite a sensation throughout the Primordial Great Land, and thus made the starry sky lively for a long time.

Under the heaven-reaching sacred tree, there were four consecutive lectures by powerhouses at the World God Realm, which also made the Divine Dao prevail in the Primordial Great Land for a period of time.

So many years had passed; now, the Divine Dao had firmly surpassed the Immortal Dao in the Primordial Great Land.

Even in the Heavenly Dao Legacy of the Innate Deities, there were methods for practicing the Divine Dao.

For example, some Innate Deities who had just been born in this Calamity practiced the Divine Dao from the very beginning.

For example, Nüwa and Fuxi, which led to the second major event in these three eons.

In these three eons, many Innate Deities successfully took human form and were born.

Their figures had already left many footprints on the Primordial Great Land.

Among them, the more famous ones included:

The two Innate Deities on the Sun Star, Dijun and Tai Yi.

Ancestor Ming He in the Netherworld Sea of Blood.

Old Ancestor Kunpeng in the North Sea.

Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian of Eastern Kunlun,

Queen Mother of the West of Western Kunlun.

East Prince of Fangzhu Mountain in the East Sea.

Nüwa and Fuxi of Mount Zhou.

Zhenyuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple, and Hongyun of Huoyun Cave.

Jieyin and Zhunti of the West.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches of Pangu Hall on Mount Zhou.

And the two Innate Deities on the Taiyin Star, Changxi and Wangshu.

Among them, Wangshu was not an Innate Deity who was born only in this Calamity.

She was the first Lord of Taiyin Star and had fallen during the Fierce Beast Calamity. Fortunately, Wangshu's true spirit did not fall along with it in the Calamity.

Under various coincidences, Wangshu's true spirit returned to the Taiyin Star and was reborn through its gestation.

Now, Wangshu and Changxi were born together as sisters.

Mountain Sea Realm.

Under the heaven-reaching sacred tree, a small banquet was being held here.

Those who could come to attend this banquet were all significant immortals and gods in the Primordial Great Land.

Among them, the highest-ranking ones were Great Emperor Ziwei's three Incarnations, True Man Kong Ming, Ancestor Qiankun, Five Elements Ancestor, White Tiger, Fox Ancestor, Vermilion Bird, and Old Ancestor Xuanwu.

These immortals and gods were either Incarnations of deities at the World God Realm or were World Gods themselves.

Next were deities at the Perfection of the Great Overarching Emperor Lord, such as Yuan Feng, Ancestral Dragon, Beginning Qilin, and Yinglong.

Below, many Great Overarching Immortals also attended this banquet, including newly born Innate Deities such as the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa.

Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches spent a lot of energy to attend this banquet together.

The Witch Race had been born for quite some time now, and they had a full understanding of their own situation.

The Witch Race had no Primordial Spirit and could not practice the Immortal Dao, but there was more than one practice method in the Primordial Great Land besides the Immortal Dao.

There were also the more prevalent Divine Dao and Martial Dao.

The Witch Race could practice both of these; among them, the Martial Dao was the choice of most Ancestral Witches.

The reason they did not choose the Divine Dao was that the current practice methods of the Divine Dao were somewhat unsuitable for the Witch Race.

Although they could barely practice it, the effect was extremely poor. They came here to listen to the Dao to find more possibilities.

This small banquet almost included the top batch of immortals and gods in the Primordial Great Land; the lowest Realm that could come here had to be the Great Overarching Immortal.

There were also quite a few newly born Innate Deities sitting below.

This small banquet was originally intended for the three clans to spend a large amount of resources to invite the four World Gods to lecture to them.

Unexpectedly, I do not know who leaked the news, which led to the current result.

The immortals and gods came upon hearing the news, including Ancestor Qiankun and Five Elements Ancestor at the Perfection of the Hun Yuan Golden Immortal. The three clans originally did not want to agree to other immortals and gods participating, but they could not afford to offend these two.

Therefore, they could only invite the Northern Emperor to come forward, and finally, this result was formed.

Calling it a banquet, in essence, it was a lecture. It was just that because top-tier mighty figures like Ancestor Qiankun and Five Elements Ancestor were present, considering the face of all parties, and also not wanting more immortals and gods to know about this matter, it was held in the name of a banquet.

This small banquet had been held for four thousand years and had not yet ended.

The four, including Vermilion Bird, had no choice; the immortals and gods below gave too much. The four Creator Gods each lectured for a thousand years.

The plan was for this small banquet to last five thousand years, and the last thousand years would be the time for all parties to discuss the Dao with each other.

All the immortals and gods who participated cherished this banquet very much; a Dao discussion conference of this scale was definitely the most valuable in the history of the Primordial Great Land.

"Fellow Daoist Yinglong, I heard before that you had reached the Perfection of the Great Overarching Emperor Lord and had already begun preparations to break through to the World God. I wonder if you have any new gains from this trip."

Yuan Feng and Beginning Qilin came to the Dragon Clan side together, smiling as they looked at Yinglong, who was sitting with the Ancestral Dragon, and asked.

"The four Seniors lectured together, and I have naturally gained a lot. After going back to prepare, I think it will not take long to find the Opportunity for a Breakthrough."

"Is that so? Then I will congratulate Fellow Daoist Yinglong here and wish you to Attain the World God soon."

Beginning Qilin's face turned black for a moment upon hearing this, but it quickly turned into a smile.

"It just so happens that Fellow Daoist Beginning Qilin and I have also gained some insights. Why don't we discuss the Dao here?"

Yuan Feng spoke, intending to take this Opportunity to test and see how far this Yinglong had actually gone.

The words here successfully attracted many gazes, all wanting to see who was preparing to break through.

Seeing that the speaker was Yinglong, they did not find it strange.

This Old Ancestor of the Dragon Clan had switched to practicing the Divine Dao as soon as he came to the starry sky; it is not strange that he had such a foundation.

Although the three clans had not killed each other since coming to the starry sky these years, there were still many secret struggles.

It was just that this struggle had evolved from previous battles into competition in the marketplace and private comparisons.

Obviously, the Dragon Clan had once again gained the upper hand among the three clans because of Yinglong's gamble.

At the moment when Yuan Feng, Ancestral Dragon, and Beginning Qilin had successively switched to practicing the Divine Dao and dropped from their original Hun Yuan Golden Immortal Early Stage Realm to the Great Overarching Emperor Lord, the Phoenix Clan and Qilin Clan had once again united to resist the Dragon Clan.

However, this time it was different from when the three clans were fighting for hegemony. Because of Vermilion Bird, the Phoenix Clan received many favors, which led to the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan being able to firmly suppress the Dragon Clan when they joined forces.

Now, the four of them had all reached the Perfection of the Great Overarching Emperor Lord and only needed an Opportunity to break through to the World God. This was also the reason why the three clans chose to join forces to invite Vermilion Bird and the others to lecture.

"Haha, I didn't expect their relationship to be the same as always, with both struggle and cooperation."

Ancestor Qiankun's gaze toward the Ancestral Dragon and the other two was very nostalgic.

"I really envy the three Fellow Daoists, Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin, for having such courage to choose to abandon their original path and switch to practicing the Divine Dao."

Five Elements Ancestor looked at the wine in his cup and sighed.

The reason why he and Ancestor Qiankun came here to listen to the Dao together was also because the road ahead was unclear. Although they had broken through to the Perfection of the Hun Yuan Golden Immortal, they were slow to find the path forward.

The two of them were different from Old Ancestor Yang Mei; they were more seriously injured, and many Legacies from the time of the Chaos Demon Gods had been lost. Being able to practice to the Perfection of the Hun Yuan Golden Immortal was already the limit.

"After all, the Divine Dao has a broad path ahead; it is not surprising that they could make such a resolution."

True Man Kong Ming had a smile on his lips. His gaze looked down below with some doting; there were his two proudest Disciples.

Under his guidance, Vast Thunder and Little Lingzhi had now broken through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and they were even dual cultivators of Immortal and Martial arts, with extraordinary combat power.

"I wonder how Fellow Daoist Ziwei and Fellow Daoist Yang Mei are doing now; I haven't seen their figures for a long time."

Ancestor Qiankun picked up a purple jade grape, suppressed his thoughts, and looked at the Northern Emperor and True Man Kong Ming, asking.

"Haha, it is naturally excellent. I presume Attaining the Dao is not far off."

The Northern Emperor and True Man Kong Ming looked at each other, smiled at each other, and then threw out a bombshell.

In an instant, the entire banquet quieted down.

Even the three clans that were just probing each other looked over.

Those newly born Innate Deities hurriedly inquired about the deeds of Great Emperor Ziwei and Old Ancestor Yang Mei.

"One practices the Divine Dao, one practices both Immortal and Martial arts. I don't know who will be the first to Attain the Dao."

I do not know who whispered a sentence, which triggered deep thought among the crowd.

Now, no one in the Primordial Great Land questioned the future of the Divine Dao, but the two major practice systems would always be compared with each other.

Regardless of which one Attains the Dao first, it will inevitably affect the entire Primordial Great Land.

After three eons of development, the creatures on the Primordial Great Land and the Mountain Sea Realm had learned a lot. Now, the speed of information dissemination in the Primordial Great Land was completely incomparable to the past.

Various Magic Treasures for message transmission were launched one after another.

This kind of Magic Treasure was first brought out by the Fox Clan. Unexpectedly, it won the favor of many immortals and gods. After all, not every immortal or god had the Realm of Taiyi or Great Overarching; with this Magic Treasure, it could also facilitate communication.

The Fox Clan also made a fortune because of this Magic Treasure, and they even repeatedly stated that this Magic Treasure was created by Great Emperor Ziwei.

This also accelerated the popularization of message transmission Magic Treasures quite a bit.
