Space fluctuated, revealing a land of creation atop Mount Zhou.
The supreme-grade innate spiritual root, the innate gourd vine, emitted a seven-colored divine light, rooted there.
Seven gourds hung from the vine; six were already ripe, while one was still gestating.
However, this innate gourd vine was somewhat too Heaven-Defying; every gourd it bore was a prototype for a supreme-grade innate spirit treasure.
For the last black gourd, the innate gourd vine was clearly exhausted and unable to bring it to maturity.
"I can see you desire Perfection, but you lack the strength. Since I have found you, I shall complete your creation."
The innate gourd vine seemed to welcome him, Dao Ancestor Zi Wei, as its slightly withered leaves swayed gently.
From those withered leaves, it was evident that the innate gourd vine before him was nearing the end of its life.
To save the innate gourd vine, before picking the six ripe gourds, he had to find a way to restore some vitality and Origin to it.
Wang Chen took out a bottle of three lights divine water and poured it over the roots of the innate gourd vine.
After the innate gourd vine slowly absorbed some of the three lights divine water, under the effect of the divine water, it finally regained some vitality.
The originally yellowed and withered leaves finally regained some of their green color.
However, the innate gourd vine's Origin was severely damaged; it was unrealistic to expect it to recover fully with just that bit of three lights divine water.
But with that three lights divine water, its life had a turning point, and it could gradually recover through other means later.
For such a Heaven-Defying innate spiritual root, Wang Chen was determined to save it no matter what.
"Rest easy. This Dao Ancestor is the Creator God. Once I return, I will specifically open up a world to help you recover."
Hearing this, the innate gourd vine's gourds and leaves swayed slightly, as if expressing its happiness.
Wang Chen could feel that the innate gourd vine's gestation of the final black gourd had not stopped, even though it was dying.
If the innate gourd vine were viewed as a mother, she was undoubtedly a very qualified one.
With a wave of his hand, he collected the six ripe gourds, and then immediately took away the entire plot of land nurturing the innate gourd vine, along with the vine itself.
Having successfully found the innate gourd vine and preserved its life, Wang Chen was very satisfied.
"Since I've come out with difficulty, I'll go to the East Sea and take a look. I remember there's also a great Opportunity there."
He came out this time to search for treasures; although he held the noble title of Dao Ancestor Zi Wei, he was poor.
Now that he had accepted nine Disciples, he definitely had to bestow Spirit Treasures upon them. As it turned out, the few pieces in his hands were not enough to go around.
They were all his Disciples, and Wang Chen didn't want to favor one over the other, so the gap between the bestowed Spirit Treasures could not be too large.
He had obtained many Innate Spirit Treasures from Hongjun before, but most were of low rank; those were fine to give to grand-Disciples.
It just so happened that the Three Immortal Islands would emerge during this Calamity. He would go to the East Sea to see if he could find these Three Immortal Islands.
Penglai, Fangzhang, Yingzhou.
Wang Chen stepped out of the Void Realm, his Dharma Eye piercing through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; any slight disharmony could not escape his perception.
Everything in the East Sea was visible to him. Soon, these Three Immortal Islands, formed from fragments of Chaos, were found by Wang Chen.
At this time, they were still hidden in another space-time, and immortal mist rose around the three islands; an Innate Formation was guarding them.
Before the time for their emergence, even if an immortal or god accidentally entered that space-time, it would be difficult for an ordinary immortal to discover the Three Immortal Islands hidden within.
Especially since the Innate Formation guarding the Three Immortal Islands was extremely powerful; the Innate Three Talents Grand Array could be called a powerful Formation that exhausted all the profound mysteries of the world.
For an ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortal without an offensive-type supreme treasure, breaking the Formation was almost impossible.
"This Innate Three Talents Grand Array is not bad; it's worth comprehending for a while."
Wang Chen took some interest in this Formation, so instead of forcibly breaking it, he began to comprehend it on the spot.
Time passed quickly, and dozens of years vanished in the blink of an eye.
Wang Chen had thoroughly comprehended the Innate Three Talents Grand Array. It was time to enter the Three Immortal Islands and see what kind of Opportunity was contained within.
Behind Wang Chen, the sun moon crystal wheel projected a divine light, easily carving out a path through the Formation guarding the Three Immortal Islands.
The Three Immortal Islands that met his eyes were like a scroll painted with light ink, with mountains and rivers faintly visible.
Under the permeating Immortal Qi, everything on the immortal islands appeared ethereal, looking exactly like the most perfect image of an immortal Realm imagined by Mortals.
Mist wrapped around the island peaks like light gauze, sometimes gathering into white silk and sometimes scattering into rosy clouds.
Any one of the Three Immortal Islands was a top-tier blessed land.
Wang Chen stepped onto Penglai Immortal Island.
The immortal island was wreathed in clouds and mist; on the cliffside, rare herbs and flowers bloomed brilliantly, with crimson pearls of dew.
At the bottom of the ravines, spiritual plants reached for the sky, their gnarled branches intertwined, and their leaves glowing with golden light.
In the forest, exotic grasses swayed in green, their faint fragrance greeting people.
The scenery on Penglai Island was not inferior to Yujing Mountain. If there was any difference, it was only that it could not convert Chaos Qi into Innate Spiritual Qi.
But with his current Realm and strength, it wouldn't be difficult to make this immortal island achieve that.
Whether by setting up a Formation or creating a spiritual tree, it could be done.
The outer scenery wasn't much to see; after a brief appreciation, he arrived at the core of Penglai Immortal Island.
A pool of Chaos-colored water met his eyes, and within the pool, a pure and flawless twelve-grade lotus platform swayed gracefully.
This was a supreme-grade innate spirit treasure, sharing the same Origin as the golden lotus of merit and the world-destroying black lotus in his hands; all were transformed from the seeds of the chaos green lotus.
There were five seeds of the chaos green lotus in total. After falling into the prehistoric world, they transformed into the green lotus of creation, the world-destroying black lotus, the golden lotus of merit, the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire, and the world-purifying white lotus before Wang Chen.
Each lotus platform contained extremely powerful Laws of the Great Dao, and they were all existences with unparalleled defense.
The world-purifying white lotus possessed the power to purify all things, eliminating all filth and evil Qi.
Against practitioners of the Demonic Path, Ghost Path, and other non-Righteous Paths, the world-purifying white lotus had a natural suppression.
Innate Spirit Treasures containing the Law of Purification were also extremely rare in the prehistoric world.
The world-purifying white lotus before him reminded Wang Chen that there was another Opportunity on Mount Zhou.
The green lotus of creation.
Transformed from the only fully matured seed of the chaos green lotus.
Unlike the other four lotus platforms, the green lotus of creation was an innate supreme treasure, also known as the Twenty-Four Grade Green Lotus of Creation.
Originally, this lotus platform was to be divided into three supreme-grade innate spirit treasures: the Taiyi Whisk (or Coiling Dragon Staff), the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and the Qingping Sword, forming the allusion that "the red flower, white root, and green lotus leaf—the three religions are originally one family."
Furthermore, these three supreme-grade innate spirit treasures would become the Dao-attaining treasures of the Sanqing.
Wang Chen wouldn't go as far as to snatch his own Disciples' Opportunity, but he felt it was truly a pity for an innate supreme treasure to be divided into three supreme-grade innate spirit treasures.
"Forget it, I'll take it back and see what they choose for themselves."
Thinking of this, Wang Chen recalled the future of the Sanqing.
He did not want his Disciples to turn against each other. The prehistoric world had already undergone great changes, and he hoped such changes would also happen to his Disciples.
To hell with the "Three Religions."
However, the path is walked by oneself. He can educate and try his best to change things, but the final choice still rests with them.
"Do not disappoint your Master."
After collecting the world-purifying white lotus along with the primordial chaos liquid, his Divine Sense swept over the entire Penglai Island. Confirming there were no other Opportunities to attract him, he disappeared.
Some primordial chaos liquid remained at the bottom of the pool that nurtured the world-purifying white lotus. Below it was a spring eye, from which wisps of Chaos Qi rose, gradually condensing into new primordial chaos liquid.
In the future, new primordial chaos liquid would condense here, and the destined person who came here would receive this creation.
After leaving Penglai Immortal Island, Wang Chen arrived at Yingzhou Island. He could clearly feel that this island was slightly inferior to Penglai Island.
Not in terms of Spiritual Qi or scenery, but lacking a hint of divine charm.
Arriving at the core of Yingzhou Island, it was shrouded in a field of chaos astral wind.
Wang Chen walked into it as if strolling in a courtyard. The sun moon crystal wheel radiated thousands of rays of light, and the chaos astral wind could not approach him in the slightest.
What met his eyes was an innate spiritual root bearing nine fruits. Its flowers were similar in shape to lotuses, and the petal patterns naturally formed "Huangzhong" seal script characters.
The nine fruits were bead-like, and the skins also displayed the characters "Huangzhong." The fruits were already ripe, with three-colored radiance enveloping each one.
The yellow plum's nurturing environment could be said to be very demanding.
It needed to be cultivated with Chaos Qi and three lights divine water, and the growth process also required isolation from the erosion of Acquired Qi.
The soil beneath this yellow plum was all Innate Wutu Essence.
Of course, the fruit borne by this innate spiritual root would not disappoint any immortal or god. This first batch of fruits, even if consumed by a low-Realm being, could create a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
This was the yellow plum; the cost and harvest of cultivating it were worth it.
"Heh, this Emperor really has an affinity with innate spiritual roots. Just the ones I've obtained include the star tree, heaven-reaching sacred tree, bitter bamboo, and purple jade grapes."
"That's not even counting the Vermilion Bird's mythical tree. Adding the innate gourd vine from before and the yellow plum in front of me, most of the innate spiritual roots in the prehistoric world are in my hands."
Thinking of this, Wang Chen couldn't help but laugh. In the future, even if he did nothing else, just taking care of these innate spiritual roots would take up a lot of time.
Could it be that his Luck was too immense and his strength was at the top of the prehistoric world, causing the innate spiritual roots to want to follow him?
Wang Chen couldn't help but think narcissistically.
Smiling, he packed up even the chaos astral wind outside and stepped onto Fangzhang Island.
Fangzhang Island had overlapping mountains and rivers, and flowers that did not wither in any season were everywhere.
In the center of the island was a huge Chaos stone, with Chaos Qi swirling around the island's center.
Unlike the Chaos Qi in the Chaos, the Chaos Qi here was not violent. Intertwined with the Dao charm of Fangzhang Island, it would not damage the island; instead, it would frequently bring down heavy rain of Innate Spiritual Qi.
A magical immortal island where Chaos and creation were intertwined.
The Opportunity of Fangzhang Island lay at the very top of the Chaos stone.
The grandmist measuring heaven ruler. It was surrounded by Primordial Qi, with faint purple light flowing, carrying the aura of the Dao, and endless Laws living and dying on the ruler's body.
It was condensed from ten percent of the Creation Merit and Grandmist Dark Yellow Qi.
The grandmist measuring heaven ruler possessed extreme offensive power; every strike contained the power to break through all Laws.
With every swing, infinite Chaos power followed, easily suppressing endless time and space, leaving enemies with nowhere to run.
Not only was its offensive power great, but it could also suppress Luck, measure heaven and earth, and switch between virtual and real. Moreover, as an Acquired Karma Supreme Treasure, killing with it did not incur Karma.
Truly worthy of the Three Immortal Islands; every island contained a great Opportunity.
Any one of these items could cause countless immortals and gods to fight for them.
Wang Chen could be considered to have returned with a full load. He had already taken the great creation; let the Three Immortal Islands remain for those destined for them.
The Three Immortal Islands themselves were also startling Opportunities, capable of serving as a Creator God's Dao arena.
"These Three Immortal Islands are not far from their emergence. I wonder who will obtain them; it will surely be another fierce struggle then."
After leaving the Three Immortal Islands, Wang Chen returned to Mount Zhou. He took out the ziwei fate plate and, using a wisp of the Sanqing's aura, followed a faint guidance to a hidden grotto.
At the deepest part of the grotto, Wang Chen saw that Twenty-Four Grade Green Lotus of Creation.
Upon sensing someone approaching, the green lotus of creation actually showed a tendency to break through space and leave. It seemed he was not the destined person this innate supreme treasure was waiting for.
"There's no need for that. This Emperor has come for my Sanqing Disciples. If you are willing, I can send you to their side."
As the Creator God, Wang Chen could easily suppress this masterless innate supreme treasure.
Since the Spirit Treasure had a spirit, he planned to be polite before using force.
Sure enough, after hearing about the Sanqing, the space around the green lotus of creation gradually calmed down.
Thus, Wang Chen collected this innate supreme treasure without any effort. The place where the green lotus of creation was rooted also contained a great creation.
The surrounding pool water was three lights divine water, and the soil below was exactly the same as the soil where the innate gourd vine was rooted: nine heavens breathing soil.
"A bountiful harvest."
There was unmistakable joy in Wang Chen's voice. The harvest this time was comparable to the time he killed Hongjun.
The Innate Spirit Treasures to be bestowed upon his Disciples were finally found. Combined with the Innate Spirit Treasures to be gestated after creation, his group of Disciples would be quite wealthy.
He would strive not to favor one over the other, giving each a supreme treasure, which would not disgrace his status as the Creator God.
"It's a pity that the chaos green lotus was divided into too many Innate Spirit Treasures; otherwise, I would have to make this Chaos Supreme Treasure reappear in the world."
Wang Chen returned to the Divine Realm and nodded in satisfaction upon seeing his Disciples practicing hard.
After those thirty thousand years of listening to the Dao, the Sanqing, Nuwa, and Houtu had all reached Great Luo Perfection and could prepare for the Breakthrough to World God and Hun Yuan Golden Immortal.
Among the five, the Sanqing and Nuwa all practiced the Divine Dao, while Houtu now mainly practiced the Martial Dao.
Although she had some ideas for a Divine Dao Cultivation Technique that Ancestral Witches could also practice after listening to the Dao, she still needed to organize them.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy said that once they attained the Dao of World God or Hun Yuan Golden Immortal, their Master would open up a world for them and gestate Innate Spirit Treasures.
Houtu believed that a Breakthrough in the Divine Dao would still take quite some time. She didn't want to hold back her Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, so she planned to Breakthrough to Hun Yuan Golden Immortal via the Martial Dao first.
Seeing this, the Vermilion Bird and others were very moved that their Junior Sister was so sensible.
They would definitely not mistreat her in the future.
In the Great Desolation, almost all top-tier Immortals and Gods were digesting the insights gained from the 30,000 years of preaching, hoping to achieve a Breakthrough.
Nevertheless, some content from the preaching was quickly leaked within a short period.
Every piece of information about Dao Ancestor Zi Wei's preaching would attract the attention of all living beings in the Great Desolation.
During this period, the Great Desolation was much quieter with top-tier Immortals and Gods in seclusion comprehending the Dao, while ordinary Immortals and Gods were incredibly lively, discussing the news they obtained from various channels.
The most popular topic of discussion was where Dharma Assemblies were being held.
Immortals and Gods who returned from listening to the Dao either went into seclusion to comprehend on their own or held Dharma Assemblies to discuss the Dao with each other.
The latter was often the choice made by Immortals and Gods who had no hope of Breakthrough and lacked sufficient talent and Comprehension Ability.
Most Immortals and Gods who held Dao discussion Dharma Assemblies were Ancient Gods and Taiyi Golden Immortal, with only a handful of Grand Unity Golden Immortal holding such events.
They relied on their own comprehension but couldn't find a Breakthrough opportunity in a short time, so they hoped to jointly comprehend the Great Dao preached by the Dao Ancestor through Dao discussion Dharma Assemblies.
This news was leaked by someone, and upon learning of the existence of such Dao discussion Dharma Assemblies, the entire Great Desolation boiled over again.
Countless Immortals and Gods' most important daily concern was to inquire where Dao discussion Dharma Assemblies were being held.
Especially those Dao discussion Dharma Assemblies at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, they were something countless Immortals and Gods would fight tooth and nail just to hear a single sentence from.
Dao discussion Dharma Assemblies and 'fated individuals' instantly became the hottest topics in the Great Desolation.
It turned out that some people discovered that even if some Immortals and Gods didn't go to Wuji Palace and just Cultivated in their own Immortal Cave, they could still hear Dao Ancestor Zi Wei's preaching.
Although it wasn't complete, it was still an extraordinary great fortune.
Many busybodies called these people 'fated individuals'.
Some Immortals and Gods discovered in their discussions that these fated individuals were either Immortals and Gods who believed in Great Emperor Ziwei, or those who devoted themselves to the Dao in seclusion in their Immortal Cave.
This news, along with the Dao discussion Dharma Assemblies, spread rapidly throughout the Great Desolation, and countless Immortals and Gods envied them immensely.
So, after some deliberation, everyone decided to bring treasures and ask them to preach.
Some fated individuals were willing to share their gains with the Immortals and Gods, which naturally resulted in universal joy.
Some fated individuals with insufficient strength, constrained by the sheer number of people and their persistent polite requests, reluctantly agreed.
While some made polite requests, others resorted to force, coercion, and threats of life and death, with all sorts of human conditions playing out across the Great Desolation.
Even the 33,000 Immortals and Gods who listened to Wang Chen preach in Wuji Palace had their own ulterior motives, let alone the common populace.
Some listeners held Dao discussion Dharma Assemblies with the goal of mutual Dao discussion and shared progress, merely wanting to use this opportunity to benefit all beings while spreading the prestige of Dao Ancestor Zi Wei.
A portion of listeners, however, held Dao discussion Dharma Assemblies simply out of greed for treasures, Luck, and other such things.
Although their motives differed, it indeed led to a flourishing Cultivation scene in the Great Desolation.
During this period, some listeners showed off their experiences in Wuji Palace, which inevitably led to the spread of certain information.
Of course, all of this was tacitly approved by Wang Chen; he never intended to conceal what happened during the preaching, otherwise, no one, regardless of who they were, could have spread it.
The leaked information included Karma and heaven and earth karmic debt.
This was a major issue concerning all Immortals and Gods in the Great Desolation; if they didn't understand it, their future actions would surely be constrained.
Thus, some Immortals and Gods began to take the lead in investigating this matter. As the leading Immortals and Gods all came from major clans with very strong backgrounds and financial resources.
They purchased a five-story building in the most prosperous city of the Mountain Sea Realm to coordinate and gather information from various regions.
This five-story building was named the Karma Observation Tower.
The one who managed to organize this event and bring together the willing Immortals and Gods was the Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey, one of the Four Primordial Mixed Monkeys.
Knowing Yin and Yang, understanding human affairs, skilled in coming and going, avoiding death and prolonging life—these were the Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey's Innate Divine Ability.
This monkey understood the profound mysteries of worldly Karma and could seek good fortune and avoid disaster. Akasaru was the name of this Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey.
Akasaru's Innate Divine Ability allowed him to keenly sense that this was an opportunity for him.
Both the Three Clans and the two Divine Courts were very concerned about the matter of heaven and earth karmic debt.
So, he quietly blended in, gradually developed his own team, and finally, little by little, brought all parties into the game, and thus the Karma Observation Tower was established.
Akasaru knew well that the two Divine Courts and the major Innate races had very extensive intelligence networks; if he slowed down even a little, the Karma Observation Tower would become useless.
Then all his previous plans would turn into nothingness.
Under Akasaru's coordination, the Karma Observation Tower began to collect intelligence from all sides at an extremely fast pace, regardless of cost.
And because the commerce in the Mountain Sea Realm was extremely developed, the wealthy Karma Observation Tower directly spent a lot of money to hire people to test heaven and earth karmic debt and Karma.
You help me test heaven and earth karmic debt and Karma, and the Karma Observation Tower will give you enough money to squander.
Both sides got what they needed; for those Cultivators who had no intention of seeking the Dao, this was a good thing to compete for.
Thus, the Karma Observation Tower began various tests across all Realms, and the results were eventually compiled and delivered to the Karma Observation Tower.
Just when everyone thought the Karma Observation Tower would sell this information, to their surprise, Akasaru directly released it for free.
In an instant, the name Karma Observation Tower swept across the Great Desolation, and along with it, the name Akasaru was also spread.
"This Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey is truly extraordinary; he managed to leap from a wild monkey to a respected guest of all parties, completing his initial accumulation. Now he has both connections and wealth."
Wang Chen took all of this in.
However, the results of Akasaru's research could only guarantee usefulness for a short time; the Heavenly Dao is constantly changing and perfecting.
When the existing heaven and earth karmic debt can no longer prevent Immortals and Gods from destroying the Great Desolation, it is believed that the Heavenly Dao will undergo other changes.
Perhaps it will unleash Lightning Tribulation, or Karma fire will burn their bodies, or they will be expelled from the Great Desolation.
Perhaps comprehending the Dao will become difficult, to the point of being unable to comprehend the Dao Law.
Or perhaps they will be bound by Law chains, causing them to transform into the Dao to give back to heaven and earth.
I, the Creator God, am painstakingly working for the advancement of the Great Desolation, yet you little Cultivators wantonly destroy my achievements. You truly don't put me in your eyes.
So Wang Chen offered many suggestions to the primordial heavens dao, and it remains to be seen how the Heavenly Dao will use them.
"This time, by Fusion with the jade disc of creation and the Heavenly Dao, I offered many suggestions to the Heavenly Dao. I only hope that the changes in the Great Desolation can significantly postpone the time of the Great Tribulation."
In fact, heaven and earth karmic debt is equivalent to a minor Great Tribulation.
Previous Great Tribulations accumulated to a certain extent, after which calamity qi emerged in heaven and earth, followed by a major reckoning by the primordial heavens dao.
However, heaven and earth karmic debt targets individuals, which means that the Great Desolation is constantly reckoning with those Immortals and Gods who damage it.
Wang Chen and the Heavenly Dao hope to use this method to significantly postpone the time of the Great Tribulation, or even prevent Great Tribulations from ever appearing in the Great Desolation again.
In addition to heaven and earth karmic debt, the future Great Desolation will also see the emergence of 'fortune'.
When living beings do good deeds, but not enough for the Heavenly Dao to bestow Karma, then fortune will descend from heaven and earth.
fortune will make Immortals and Gods' Cultivation smoother, and their own Luck will also change.
Those with profound fortune can even subtly influence their own destiny and Karma, in short, its uses are endless.
Wang Chen always paid attention to the changes in the Great Desolation, wanting to see if these changes could bring about better development for the Great Desolation.
Ten thousand years later, radiant multicolored light filled the sky of the Great Desolation, and the Heavenly Dao manifested.
After completely fusing with the jade disc of creation, the Heavenly Dao became even more perfect, and countless Great Dao Laws filled every corner of the Great Desolation.
This anomaly lasted for nine years.
When the anomaly disappeared, the Heavenly Dao became even more vast, boundless, ethereal, and unfathomable.
Such a change in the Heavenly Dao undoubtedly made it exceptionally difficult for Immortals and Gods of lower Realms to comprehend the Great Dao.
This situation once caused panic among many Immortals and Gods in the Great Desolation.
Countless Immortals and Gods began to visit the Northern Emperor and the Three Clans, hoping that these deities, who stood at the pinnacle of the Great Desolation, could show them a clear path.
Yuanfeng looked at the anxious immortals and gods, and said with a solemn tone.
"In the Great Desolation, Dao Ancestor Zi Wei is the only one most likely to understand the situation or have a solution."
Since the Northern Emperor is currently in seclusion to comprehend the Great Dao, all the immortals and gods could only turn to the Three Clans.
In fact, this change in the Heavenly Dao also had a significant impact on the Three Clans.
So when other immortals and gods approached them, Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Beginning Qilin did not refuse.
"As things stand, the three of us can only go to Wuji Palace together to visit Dao Ancestor Zi Wei."
Ancestral Dragon pondered for a long time before finally stating his idea.
They had already thought of all possible solutions; some even tried to communicate with the Heavenly Dao, but received no response.
When the Three Clans mentioned Wang Chen's name, he was planting the World Tree in the Inner Chaos.
This tree had already fully grown, and there was no problem with it rooting in the Inner Chaos.
"Fellow Daoist Ziwei, the Heavenly Dao is now elusive and unpredictable. Some people can't wait to come looking for you."
Ancestor Yangmei, sensing something, arrived at some point. His gaze burned as he looked at the World Tree, seemingly very eager to study it.
"The Perfection of the Heavenly Dao is a good thing. I and the Heavenly Dao already have a countermeasure for this matter, Fellow Daoist Yangmei, rest assured."
"As for the three of Ancestral Dragon, I will personally receive them. When they return and bring back the news of the emergence of the Earth Dao and Human Dao, the worries of all beings will naturally disappear."
"However, Fellow Daoist Yangmei, why are you here instead of establishing your Daoist temple?"
Ancestor Yangmei showed a look of understanding after hearing Wang Chen's explanation, but soon his attention was drawn back to the World Tree.
It seemed that the emergence of the Earth Dao and Human Dao was not as captivating to him as the World Tree before his eyes.
"This old Daoist originally wanted to open up a world in this Inner Chaos, just like Fellow Daoist Ziwei, but after much thought, I felt that doing so would be too mundane."
"Coincidentally, I sensed a disturbance here, so I came to see what great deed Fellow Daoist Ziwei was up to again."
In truth, Ancestor Yangmei felt that he clearly had no advantage over the Creator God in opening up worlds.
If the Daoist temple he established was too far inferior to the Divine Realm, and other immortals and gods found out, he would surely lose Face.
Upon seeing the World Tree, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he decided to take an unconventional path.
Ancestor Yangmei smiled and came to Wang Chen's side.
Seeing his expression, Wang Chen knew that Ancestor Yangmei definitely had something to ask for, and combining it with his previous words, Wang Chen already had some guesses.
"Fellow Daoist, please speak freely."
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Ziwei is straightforward. Actually, this old Daoist wants to exchange for star tree branch cuttings and heaven-reaching sacred tree branch cuttings. I wonder if Fellow Daoist is willing."
"It seems Fellow Daoist Yangmei also wants to refine a World Tree. Then, what treasures does Fellow Daoist Yangmei intend to exchange?"
Ancestor Yangmei had long since obtained the method for refining Acquired Spiritual Wood. To refine a World Tree, he now only lacked branch cuttings of innate spiritual roots.
"How about these two Spirit Treasures?"
When he clearly saw the true appearance of those two Innate Spirit Treasures, Wang Chen's expression couldn't help but become serious.
Because the Spirit Treasures in Ancestor Yangmei's hands were none other than the qiankun cauldron and the five elements sword.
"Fellow Daoist Yangmei, please don't joke. The value of these two Innate Spirit Treasures is in no way inferior to the two innate spiritual roots themselves."
Since these two Innate Spirit Treasures appeared in Ancestor Yangmei's hands, Ancestor Qiankun and Five Elements Ancestor must have already obtained the method to attain Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
"Indeed, so Fellow Daoist will also need to give this old Daoist some other things."
Ancestor Yangmei stroked his beard, looking as if he had Wang Chen cornered.
Heh~
Wang Chen laughed inwardly. Ancestor Yangmei didn't care about these Innate Spirit Treasures at all. He wanted to see what kind of awkward situation Ancestor Yangmei would be in if he took on a disciple one day and had no treasures to bestow.
Wang Chen's Face remained impassive.
"Fellow Daoist Yangmei, just say what you want. I'm sure you already have a goal in mind."
"Haha, I won't hide it from Fellow Daoist Ziwei. I wish to exchange for all of Fellow Daoist's insights since creating Acquired Spiritual Wood."
"As well as two sections of heaven-reaching sacred tree branch cuttings, two sections of star tree branch cuttings, and one section of each innate spiritual root branch cutting that Fellow Daoist possesses."
"Finally, this old Daoist also desires a fusang tree branch cutting and an osmanthus tree branch cutting. Fellow Daoist Ziwei, please procure them for this old Daoist."
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ziwei can accept these conditions."
The more Ancestor Yangmei spoke, the darker Wang Chen's Face became. The other party wanted a lot, but the qiankun cauldron and five elements sword were definitely worth these things.
As for a fusang tree branch cutting and an osmanthus tree branch cutting, the Sun Star and Taiyin Star already had owners. Obtaining these two branch cuttings would require exchanging more treasures.
It might even incur Karma with them, so Ancestor Yangmei simply let Great Emperor Ziwei do the work.
Wang Chen pondered for a long time, and out of consideration for the chaos bead and creation divine sword, he finally agreed.
Actually, this transaction would not be a loss as long as he had no plans to refine Acquired Spiritual Wood in the short term.
With the nine heavens breathing soil and three lights divine water in his hands, the recovery speed of innate spiritual roots would be greatly accelerated by these two treasures.
And with these two treasures, almost all innate spiritual roots would not refuse to exchange a branch cutting.
However, doing so would undoubtedly halt the expansion of the Mountain Sea Realm for a long time.
This period happened to be a time of rapid development for the Mountain Sea Realm.
The current plan could only be to use this opportunity to let the Mountain Sea Realm drive the development of the entire starry sky.
"I agree, but I cannot give Fellow Daoist the innate gourd vine's tendrils. Its current state is not good, and it is unable to spare its Origin."
"It's no matter, just a small thing. This old Daoist can understand."
Ancestor Yang Mei smiled as he handed over the qiankun cauldron and the five elements sword; he was very satisfied with this transaction.
His true form was the hollow willow, making him exceptionally sensitive to the Luck of Spiritual Roots. Many Spiritual Roots in the prehistoric world were connected to Great Emperor Ziwei, so Ancestor Yang Mei decisively chose to trade with his old friend, Great Emperor Ziwei.
"Sigh, for the sake of my disciples, this Emperor has truly spent much effort."
Wang Chen put away the qiankun cauldron and the five elements sword, then sighed with emotion.
"Even this old Daoist envies Fellow Daoist Ziwei's good fortune. Your disciples' natural talent, background, and Comprehension Ability are all top-tier in the prehistoric world. They will surely become a great help to you in the future."
Ancestor Yang Mei stroked his beard and spoke with a smile.
He had observed them during the sermon; all nine of Great Emperor Ziwei's disciples possessed the potential to prove their Dao as Creator Gods, and their futures were limitless.
"I don't dare to hope for help; as long as they can live in harmony, this Emperor will be satisfied."
Wang Chen was very happy to hear Ancestor Yang Mei praise his disciples, but he still offered a modest reply.
"This Emperor will return now to prepare the innate spiritual root cuttings for you."
"Since you seem to be quite fond of this World Tree, I ask Fellow Daoist Yang Mei to look after it for a while."
Seeing Ancestor Yang Mei glancing at the World Tree from time to time, Wang Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart.
So what if he was a Chaos Demon God or a Space Demon God? He was still captivated by a small World Tree.
"Fellow Daoist Ziwei is as generous as ever. It is my blessing to have a friend like you."
Ancestor Yang Mei's eyes lit up upon hearing this. When he first saw the World Tree, it had just been born, and many of its divine wonders had not yet manifested.
With his Hun Yuan Golden Immortal Realm strength at the time, he actually hadn't completely seen through this World Tree.
Most importantly, he hadn't paid much attention to this Acquired spiritual wood created by Great Emperor Ziwei back then.
In short, Ancestor Yang Mei had underestimated it.
Now that he had proven his Dao as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, looking at it with his current Realm and strength, he discovered many deep-seated secrets.
If the dao patterns previously inscribed within the World Tree were seeds, then the current World Tree had long since passed the stage of rooting and sprouting.
Through natural evolution, the original dao patterns no longer looked as they once did; they had become more profound and natural, easily carrying the Great Dao Laws of many worlds.
To say it was 'carrying' them wasn't quite accurate; in Ancestor Yang Mei's eyes, it looked more like the Origin of the Great Dao Laws.
Whether a world ascended or a new world was born, the tree itself would grow, and this growth seemed to have no upper limit.
Ancestor Yang Mei was very curious about where its limit lay.
"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei and I have achieved mutual success. Since you like it, there's no harm in looking closer."
Wang Chen flicked his finger, and a dao pattern merged into the void around the World Tree. The Innate Grand Array protecting the World Tree emerged and opened a gateway.
This Innate Grand Array was an improvement of the Formation protecting Yujing Mountain. In the event of danger, the Innate Grand Array would carry the World Tree and vanish into the Chaos.
After Wang Chen's reinforcement, even Ancestor Yang Mei would have to expend a great deal of effort to get close to the World Tree without his permission.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Ziwei's Formation attainments are indeed extraordinary. I have seen this Innate Grand Array at Yujing Mountain, and after your improvements, it has become truly remarkable."
It was already known throughout the prehistoric world that Great Emperor Ziwei was proficient in the Dao of Formations, so Ancestor Yang Mei was only slightly surprised for a moment.
"Just a minor trick."
After speaking, Wang Chen returned to Wuji Palace and had Hundred Flowers Fairy wait for the arrival of Ancestor Dragon and the other two.
He then began to comprehend the Great Dao Laws contained within the Innate Spirit Treasures he had just Acquired.
Before bestowing these Innate Spirit Treasures upon his disciples, Wang Chen had to comprehend them first; otherwise, his efforts would truly be in vain.
With his Creator God Realm cultivation, Wang Chen quickly comprehended the Innate Restrictions within these Innate Spirit Treasures.
On average, it took Wang Chen a hundred years to completely comprehend a supreme-grade innate spirit treasure. Only the innate supreme treasures presented some difficulty and required more time.
At a certain moment, Wang Chen put away the myriad heavens celebration cloud he was comprehending.
"Dao Ancestor, Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Phoenix, and Beginning Qilin are outside requesting an audience."
Hundred Flowers Fairy walked in quickly, bowed, and spoke.
"Yes, I am aware."
Without seeing Wang Chen make any movement, the three leaders—Ancestor Dragon and the others who were waiting anxiously outside Wuji Palace—instantly appeared inside the palace.
The sudden change startled the three, but they quickly regained their composure.
They could be considered experienced now, able to handle such situations calmly.
Yuan Phoenix and the other two stepped forward together and bowed.
"Greetings, Dao Ancestor Zi Wei. Please forgive us for our presumptuous intrusion."
"Now that the prehistoric world has changed greatly and the Heavenly Dao is distant, Cultivators with low Realms find it difficult to comprehend the Dao. We have come to seek the Dao Ancestor's guidance."
As it concerned the future development of her race, Yuan Phoenix, despite her internal nervousness, boldly asked the question.
"I already know the purpose of your visit. There is no need to panic."
"The Heavenly Dao is gradually reaching Perfection, making the Great Dao Laws difficult to comprehend, but all things have a glimmer of hope."
"Within ten thousand years, the Earthly Dao and the Mortal Dao will emerge. At that time, the immortals and gods with low Realms will have their own path."
When Wang Chen finished speaking, Ancestor Dragon and the others listening below were overjoyed. According to Dao Ancestor Zi Wei, from now on, immortals and gods with insufficient Realms would also have the Earthly Dao and Mortal Dao to comprehend; their worries no longer existed.
"Dao Ancestor, Ancestor Dragon emboldens himself to ask: what is the difference between the Earthly Dao, the Mortal Dao, and the Heavenly Dao?"
Since it was rare to visit and see Dao Ancestor Zi Wei, Ancestor Dragon naturally wanted to ask clearly.
"The Earthly Dao is the concrete manifestation of the Heavenly Dao in the prehistoric world. It carries virtue, nourishes all things, and is the Foundation of the prehistoric world."
"After the Earthly Dao emerges, immortals and gods can comprehend all things in heaven and earth, thereby following the heavenly seasons and understanding the changes of the world."
"The Earthly Dao exists within all things in the prehistoric world: the flowers and trees, the mountains and seas, and the four seasons of Reincarnation are all part of it."
"As for the Mortal Dao, all sentient beings are part of it. From the rise and fall of dynasties to the seven emotions and six desires, all are manifestations of the Mortal Dao."
"The Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Mortal Dao complement each other."
"The Earthly Dao and Mortal Dao need to comply with the Heavenly Dao Laws for the prehistoric world to function better."
"The Mortal Dao complies with the Heavenly Dao and Earthly Dao so that sentient beings can survive better."
"The Earthly Dao needs to comply with the Heavenly Dao and carry the Mortal Dao to make the prehistoric world better and better."
Wang Chen said a lot at once; he believed these would become the future directions of the prehistoric world's development.
He hoped Ancestor Dragon and the others would take his words back, resolving the doubts of all beings while understanding the true essence themselves, and together make the prehistoric world better.
Yuan Phoenix and the others grew more delighted as they listened. This was no less than a sermon; the fundamental changes of the prehistoric world's future were all contained within.
After hearing this, the three instantly understood many things, and their future paths became much clearer.
"Dao Ancestor Zi Wei is merciful. We dare not forget today's teachings and will surely convey this information to all beings in the prehistoric world."
Ancestor Dragon and the others bowed sincerely. This visit was well worth it; they had gained clarity and understood the Laws governing the prehistoric world.
"Go now, do not keep the sentient beings waiting."
Before Ancestor Dragon and the others could react, they appeared outside the Dragon Realm.
"This..."
Ancestor Dragon and the others looked at each other, speechless.
Dao Ancestor Zi Wei's great power was beyond what words could describe.
Presumably, the moment they mentioned Dao Ancestor Zi Wei's name, the Dao Ancestor already knew everything.
For a moment, the three felt a sense of trepidation and didn't dare think further.
"Sigh, going there took decades or centuries, but returning took only an instant. The gap between a Creator God and a World God is comparable to that between a Mortal and a World God."
Ancestor Dragon, who had been somewhat arrogant because the Dragon Clan had two World Gods, felt instantly sobered after experiencing all this.
If the Dragon Clan wanted to develop better, nothing else was important; following closely in Dao Ancestor Zi Wei's footsteps was what mattered most.
Once the thought of submission arose, the world suddenly felt wide.
If one treated Dao Ancestor Zi Wei as an imaginary enemy, one would surely need to be cautious at every moment and live in constant fear.
But when you treat Dao Ancestor Zi Wei as a reliance and a backer, there is only peace of mind.
As long as one did not violate Dao Ancestor Zi Wei's will, one could walk tall throughout the prehistoric world.
Wait, that didn't seem right either; Dao Ancestor Zi Wei had nine disciples. If the Dragon Clan wanted to walk tall in the prehistoric world, they were still missing something.
Beginning Qilin saw the changes in Ancestor Dragon's expression and wondered why his state of mind had suddenly shifted.
"Forget it, I don't understand. I'll ask Mu'er when I get back."
Beginning Qilin thought for a moment but had no clue, so he could only follow Ancestor Dragon and Yuan Phoenix, turning into a streak of light and entering the Dragon Realm.
After returning to the Dragon Realm, Ancestor Dragon gathered all the immortals and gods as quickly as possible.
None of the immortals and gods gathered there expected the three leaders to return so quickly.
"I wonder if the three Seniors—Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Phoenix, and Beginning Qilin—have seen Dao Ancestor Zi Wei?"
Once all the immortals and gods had arrived, Dijun was the first to speak.
After returning, he and Donghuang Taiyi had already decided to establish the Yao Race.
Therefore, Dijun was exceptionally concerned about this matter.
Waiting in the Dragon Realm, besides Innate Deities like Dijun and Zhunti, were also the various city lords of the prehistoric world.
Seeing Dijun ask the question on their minds, all the immortals and gods stopped talking and looked at the three leaders with expectation.
Seeing this, Yuan Phoenix showed a confident smile.
"The three of us have indeed seen Dao Ancestor Zi Wei."
"Dao Ancestor Zi Wei already knew our questions and has provided the answers."
When Yuan Phoenix finished speaking, the area below suddenly became noisy. Smiles couldn't help but appear on the faces of all the immortals and gods; this way, they would have an answer when they returned.
Before long, all the noise below vanished.
"Dao Ancestor Zi Wei is merciful. Not only did he resolve our doubts, but he also explained the ultimate Laws governing the prehistoric world's operation."
Ancestor Dragon scanned the crowd below and then spoke with a devout expression.
"The matters you were most worried about have received answers from the Dao Ancestor."
"Within ten thousand years, the Earthly Dao and Mortal Dao will emerge. At that time, immortals and gods with low Realms can simply comprehend the Earthly Dao and Mortal Dao."
The three leaders together recounted their experiences at Wuji Palace without missing a single detail.
For a time, everyone listened as if entranced. The explanation of the Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Mortal Dao benefited the gathered immortals and gods immensely.
"Dao Ancestor Zi Wei is merciful. Thank you for your hard work, Seniors."
After hearing the account from the three leaders, the gathered immortals and gods bowed one after another.
Among them, Dijun's and Zhunti's eyes were particularly bright; they already had better plans for the future.
"Everything is a gift from Dao Ancestor Zi Wei. We do not dare take credit. After you return, you must also faithfully convey this information and not hide anything."
After seeing Ancestor Dragon's devout look, Beginning Qilin finally understood. He quickly spoke, looking at the immortals and gods below, and gave a serious warning.
Watching the departing immortals and gods, the three leaders did not mention how they had returned.
Smart people would naturally figure it out, while those who couldn't could only hope for the best... When Dijun returned to the Sun Star, he found Donghuang Taiyi hosting a guest. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the Canglan Emperor Lord.
Who among the immortals and gods living in the starry sky wouldn't know of Dao Ancestor Zi Wei's three great Incarnations?
The Northern Emperor who managed the affairs of the starry sky, the Canglan Emperor Lord who often traveled through the Mortal world, and the most mysterious Black Emperor.
"Greetings, Canglan Emperor Lord. I wonder what brings you here?"
Dijun felt a bit uneasy. Could it be that Dao Ancestor Zi Wei had discovered his plan to establish the Yao Race and sent the Canglan Emperor Lord to stop him?
However, regardless of the reason, the other party was someone he couldn't afford to offend, so he quickly bowed with a smile.
"Brother, Senior Canglan has come this time to exchange for a fusang tree branch cutting."
Seeing his brother return, Donghuang Taiyi quickly stepped forward to explain.
"No need for formalities. I have come this time wishing to exchange for a fusang tree branch cutting."
"If you two are willing, I can offer two star fruits and two bottles of three lights divine water in exchange. Additionally, I will provide separate compensation to the fusang tree."
After speaking, the Canglan Incarnation took out two fruits that looked like small suns; they were clearly the sun fruits grown on the star tree.
As soon as the two sun fruits appeared, they caught the eyes of Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.
The two fruits emitted a dense solar essence, which would be quite useful even to a Great Overarching Emperor Lord.
This was not even counting the two bottles of three lights divine water. Most importantly, he didn't have to worry about the fusang tree's side; this was essentially a cost-free trade.
It had to be said that the Canglan Emperor Lord was very generous, and the two brothers were tempted.
"We two brothers agree."
Dijun took a deep breath and then spoke solemnly to the Canglan Incarnation.
"Excellent."
Led by the two brothers, the Canglan Incarnation arrived at the location of the fusang tree.
However, the situation before them greatly surprised all three.
"Oh? Is the Sun Star about to give birth to another Innate Deity?"
Nine small suns were hanging from the fusang tree. The Canglan Incarnation recognized at a glance that they were the small suns produced by the Vermilion Bird's blazing sun tree.
What surprised the three was that these nine small suns were merging into one.
For some reason, they were being wrapped and nurtured by the Great Dao Laws of the fusang tree and the Sun Star.
Clearly, once these nine small suns completely merged, the Sun Star would gain another Innate Deity.
The Canglan Incarnation saw that Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi were also surprised, realizing they had only just discovered this as well.
Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi looked at each other, and in that moment, many things crossed their minds.
They could personally accept the Sun Star nurturing another Innate Deity.
However, those little suns were closely related to the Vermilion Bird; once this Innate Deity was truly born...
What if she returned to the embrace of the Vermilion Bird? In the future, would the Sun Star be ruled by their brothers, or by this Innate Deity backed by the Vermilion Bird?
Thinking of this, waves of killing intent surged in the hearts of Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.
However, this emotion was quickly suppressed by them; it was already too late.
Everything here was being watched by Emperor Lord Canglan. If they tried to strike and erase this Innate Deity now, they would undoubtedly offend the Vermilion Bird to the death.
The Vermilion Bird was not only a World God in terms of Realm and strength, but had also become a disciple of Dao Ancestor Zi Wei.
No matter which identity it was, she was an existence they could not afford to offend.
As for their current plan, they had no other choice but to endure, wait for an opportunity, and see how things developed.
At this moment, Dijun once again thought of the conjecture that Emperor Lord Canglan had come to prevent him from founding the Yao Race.
Combined with everything happening before his eyes, he couldn't help but be suspicious.
"We two brothers are also very delighted that the Sun Star can have an additional Innate Deity."
Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi acted as if they were truly happy, smiles instantly appearing on their faces.
With the experience of the Canglan Incarnation, how could he not see through the thoughts of Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi?
That faint, flickering killing intent from just now was perceived very clearly by him with his Hun Yuan Golden Immortal Realm and strength.
Looking at Emperor Lord Canglan, who was shaking his head and laughing, the smile on Dijun's face became hard to maintain, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom.
"I wonder why the Emperor Lord is shaking his head and laughing."
The more straightforward Donghuang Taiyi asked directly, though he regretted it immediately after speaking.
Dijun's expression changed slightly, but things had reached this point, and there was no way back.
"This Emperor is laughing because you two juniors have too many thoughts; I don't know who you learned it from."
In the hand of the Canglan Incarnation, at some unknown point, a section of emerald-green bamboo appeared.
This was an Innate Spirit Treasure refined by the Canglan Incarnation from a section of bitter bamboo, named the Dust-Fate Bamboo.
This bamboo can allow one to see their true nature clearly. Where it resides, it can reflect all aspects of the world, from the seven emotions and six desires in the hearts of living beings below, to various Karmas of the Mortal World above.
This was undoubtedly an Innate Spirit Treasure that perfectly suited the Canglan Incarnation.
Under the horrified gazes of Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, they were powerless to resist, watching helplessly as the Dust-Fate Bamboo gently tapped them on their heads.
Dong~
Donghuang Taiyi activated the donghuang bell, but the donghuang bell only rang once before being firmly bound by several threads of Mortal World silk.
However, it was itself an innate supreme treasure. If the Canglan Incarnation's Realm were not that of a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal, and the Innate Spirit Treasure in his hand were not an extraordinary object, he truly wouldn't have been able to suppress this innate supreme treasure controlled by a Great Overarching Emperor Lord so easily.
The moment the Dust-Fate Bamboo fell, Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi were terrified.
They hadn't expected this Emperor Lord Canglan to actually be a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal; rumors in the starry sky said his Realm was that of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
Alas, rumors have truly harmed our two brothers. If we had known the other party was a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal, we wouldn't have been so completely defenseless.
Now, it could be said that no matter how they cried out, there would be no response.
However, the development of events was not the lethal strike they had imagined.
"Eh, I'm fine."
Donghuang Taiyi subconsciously touched his head, and soon he noticed the changes in himself.
His mind and body had become more transparent, various mortal desires were severed, and there were no longer any distracting thoughts affecting his state of mind.
"I am fine as well."
From Dijun's words, the Canglan Incarnation could hear the feeling of having survived a disaster.
Looking at the easily bound river chart and luo scroll and the donghuang bell, Dijun felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart again.
However, as soon as these thoughts surfaced, a soft spiritual light rose within his soul, making his body and mind transparent and flawless once more.
"As long as you do not do things that harm the Great Desolation, Dao Ancestor Zi Wei will not care what you do."
"Furthermore, these little suns were likely just placed here by the Vermilion Bird in her spare time; there aren't as many schemes and calculations as you think."
"If she wanted the Sun Star, heh, to put it bluntly, neither of you would have lived to this day."
"Also, the most important point: if a World God wants to deal with you, they don't need any schemes; they can just crush you all the way, and you wouldn't be able to resist."
"Your state of mind is too poor; go back and temper it well."
Saying this, the Canglan Incarnation casually threw out a copy of the "Xuanxiao Jade Manual · Mind Cultivation Chapter". Then, ignoring the reactions of Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, he walked toward the fusang tree to discuss the trade.
Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi felt somewhat ashamed upon hearing this. After respectfully receiving the "Xuanxiao Jade Manual · Mind Cultivation Chapter", they gave a sincere bow to Emperor Lord Canglan and then turned into streaks of light, returning to the Sun Divine Palace.
"Teacher Canglan is right, our state of mind indeed needs to be tempered. As rulers, breadth of mind is very important."
Dijun sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, holding the "Xuanxiao Jade Manual · Mind Cultivation Chapter" in his hands as he spoke firmly.
"Fortunately, Teacher Canglan woke us up in time. Otherwise, plunging into that rolling Mortal World with such a state of mind, who knows what kind of disaster would have been brewed."
To this end, all of Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi's plans were postponed; before achieving great things, they had to temper themselves first.
On the Canglan Incarnation's side, under the temptation of three lights divine water and nine heavens breathing soil, he successfully obtained the fusang tree branch cutting.
After leaving the Sun Star, the Canglan Incarnation came to the Taiyin Star.
Under the osmanthus tree, Changxi was making osmanthus cakes with the Moon Rabbit.
That Moon Rabbit possessed the Bloodline of Wangshu and Changxi; it was likely a creature created from their two Bloodlines combined with other treasures.
"Greetings, Emperor Lord Canglan. Sister Wangshu shifted to the Divine Dao while listening to Dao Ancestor Zi Wei's lecture and is currently in secluded meditation. She cannot come out to greet Senior; please forgive her."
Changxi put down the unfinished osmanthus cakes, cleaned herself up, and stepped forward to bow.
She had a cold personality; even though the one before her was an Incarnation of Dao Ancestor Zi Wei, there were no extra changes on her face.
"Fairy Chang Xi, there is no need for such formality. Speaking of which, Dao Ancestor Zi Wei and Fellow Daoist Wangshu have many connections."
"He is also very happy that she was able to return from her tribulation."
Changxi didn't dare to respond to these words and could only say: "Thank you, Dao Ancestor Zi Wei."
Then, seeing the Canglan Incarnation's gaze fall upon the osmanthus cakes, she quickly changed the subject.
"While my sister is in seclusion, I learned some skills for making pastries, hoping to let her taste them when she comes out."
"Fairy Chang Xi and Fellow Daoist Wangshu share a deep sisterly bond; it is truly enviable."
Facing the cold Changxi, the Canglan Incarnation didn't have many topics to chat about, so he went straight to the point.
"I have come this time wishing to exchange for a section of the osmanthus tree branch cutting. I wonder if Fairy Chang Xi is willing."
"These are two Taiyin Fruits and two bottles of three lights divine water. Additionally, these two little moons are a congratulatory gift from me for Fellow Daoist Wangshu's return."
Changxi stared blankly at the treasures in Emperor Lord Canglan's hand. She had originally intended to simply cut a branch and give it to him.
But after seeing the treasures in his hand clearly, she hesitated.
Especially the Taiyin Fruits and the little moons, which moved her heart the most.
