Unfortunately, no matter how envious they were, it was useless. No immortal or god dared to speak up and ask the Northern Emperor for help.
World Fusion is a long process. More and more immortals and gods arrived around the Canglan Realm. They sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, each displaying their Divine Abilities to comprehend the mysteries born within the World Fusion.
As the stars shifted, a Yuanhui passed in the blink of an eye.
The Canglan Realm fused with hundreds and thousands of worlds, its world Rank reaching the Major Thousand Worlds in one fell swoop. As more worlds continued to merge into it, the Canglan Realm showed a faint trend of breaking through the shackles of the Major Thousand Worlds.
The Northern Emperor had joined in long ago, helping Emperor Canglan stabilize the situation.
The human heart can never withstand a test, and even Emperor Canglan was no exception.
Previously, Emperor Canglan had intended to be satisfied once the Canglan Realm was promoted to a Major Thousand Worlds, but now he felt it was better to push it to its limit in one go.
Seeing this, the Northern Emperor did not try to persuade him further. He simply joined in silently to stabilize the World Fusion situation. After all, if the sky fell, the tall ones would hold it up; they had Dao Ancestor Zi Wei above them, so what was there to fear?
However, with hundreds and thousands of worlds merging into the Canglan Realm, even the mere ripples leaking out made ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortals feel they were boundless.
As time passed, even the expressions of Yuan Phoenix and the others changed. The fluctuations of the Great Dao Laws leaking out from the unseen made them feel somewhat terrified.
"This... this has clearly exceeded the capabilities of a World God. I fear the Northern Emperor and Emperor Canglan won't be able to hold on. Should we go help?"
Yuan Phoenix hesitated. After all, she did not know the World Fusion techniques, and even if she went over, she wouldn't know how to help.
"Since the Northern Emperor and Emperor Canglan dare to act this way, they must have been prepared. Perhaps Dao Ancestor Zi Wei's gaze is fixed right here at this moment."
The Ancestral Dragon's expression was exceptionally serious. He was also somewhat tempted by Yuan Phoenix's suggestion; such an Opportunity to show loyalty was rare. However, not understanding the mysteries within, rushing in blindly might actually be counterproductive.
"Fellow Daoist Ancestral Dragon is right. We should just continue to Cultivate the Dao. Such a scene is a rare find. Missing it would surely lead to lifelong regret."
"Everyone knows the great power of Dao Ancestor Zi Wei. This situation is a small matter before Dao Ancestor Zi Wei. Fellow Daoist Yuan Phoenix, there's no need to worry."
The Beginning Qilin looked at the increasingly massive Canglan Realm and felt the fluctuations of the Great Dao Laws within, feeling somewhat trembling with fear.
As the Canglan Realm expanded again, all the immortals and gods had to distance themselves further from it once more.
Although everything before them began to become very dangerous, not a single immortal or god left.
After all, the gains they had obtained previously were too great. The Great Dao Law fluctuations currently leaking from the Canglan Realm were like a giant Treasure Trove; as long as they could comprehend even a tiny bit, it would be a great Opportunity.
Fire Dawn and the others had also left the Northern Emperor's side early. After all, the Northern Emperor was helping Emperor Canglan merge the worlds and no longer had the energy to look after them.
Looking at the growing Canglan Realm, Black Mountain Lord was both shocked and delighted.
It was a good thing that the Canglan Realm was getting larger, but after the event, immortals and gods from the outside world would surely enter to compete with them for resources.
She didn't know how many resources they, as seven Grand Unity Golden Immortals, could protect.
"The fluctuations caused by the Fusion of the Great Dao Laws are leaking more and more now. It's clear that Master and Junior Martial Uncle are losing control of the situation."
"I hope Master, Junior Martial Uncle, and the Canglan Realm will be alright."
While they were talking, the Canglan Realm suddenly expanded again, forcing them to retreat quickly.
If they were caught by those leaking Great Dao Law fluctuations, even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal would perish within.
Even Fire Dawn could see it, so the Innate Deities naturally could too. They were also somewhat uncertain, but they couldn't let go of this great Opportunity, so they could only each bring out their Spirit Treasures for protection and risk comprehending the Great Dao Laws.
Firm-willed Innate Deities like Zhenyuanzi, Dijun, Fuxi, Jieyin, the Queen Mother of the West, and the Duke of the East would certainly not miss this great Opportunity.
Dao Ancestor Zi Wei had opened the Divine Way, and his Incarnations had successively opened two methods to Attain the Dao.
As fellow Innate Deities, they naturally had their own pride and were unwilling to fall behind others. They all thought about opening a path to Attain the Dao for themselves.
Although they were proud, they also had self-knowledge and did not harbor delusions of opening a completely new Dao path like Dao Ancestor Zi Wei.
With the Northern Emperor and Emperor Canglan before them, they felt they had gained some clues.
The true thought of the Innate Deities was to be like the Northern Emperor and Emperor Canglan, relying on the Divine Way and the Immortal Way to forge a path that suited them best.
And while this great Opportunity before them was dangerous, it was also a good chance to get close to the Great Dao Laws, observe the evolution of the Dao, and experience the intertwining and Fusion of the Great Dao Laws.
It could quickly build up their foundation. As the saying goes, danger and Opportunity coexist; if one retreats every time, when can they Attain the Dao?
Wuji Palace.
Wang Chen had already gathered all his Disciples. The Opportunity contained within this sudden change would also be of great use to his Disciples.
They sat on prayer mats. Everything in the Wuji Palace had already vanished, and the surrounding scenery had turned into an infinite starry sky.
The Canglan Realm was right before their eyes. Everyone felt as if they were personally there, able to focus on comprehending the Great Dao Laws without worrying about any danger.
As the situation became increasingly out of control and seeing that their Master showed no intention of taking action, the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and the others began to get anxious.
"Master, how about letting us go help the Northern Emperor and Emperor Canglan?"
Seeing the Northern Emperor and Emperor Canglan struggling to hold on from such a close distance, they spoke with some pity.
"Hmph, they didn't consider the consequences before acting. The bitter fruit they face now is of their own making."
Wang Chen couldn't help but cold snort. Among all his Incarnations, the Canglan Incarnation had the most humanity. Since he began to Cultivate, he had always maintained this Heart-Nature, which could be seen from the Red Dust Immortal Way he created.
Sometimes people have a flash of inspiration and suddenly do things that exceed their own control.
This was especially true for the Canglan Incarnation walking the Red Dust Immortal Way.
Looking at it from another angle, was this not also a tribulation for the Canglan Incarnation?
Seeing that their Master did not directly object, the Fox Ancestor understood that he had agreed. She hurriedly spoke a few soft words, and sure enough, their Master's expression gradually softened.
"For you, participating personally can also provide a different kind of insight. Consider it an Opportunity."
Ten streaks of divine light appeared out of thin air and flew into the foreheads of the nine Disciples and the Hundred Flowers Fairy.
Sanqing and the others checked the information within; it was precisely the World Fusion technique.
"White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Old Ancestor Xuanwu, Fox Ancestor, go and help the Northern Emperor and Emperor Canglan stabilize the situation."
As he spoke, their figures instantly appeared beside the Northern Emperor. The four, including the White Tiger, did not hesitate and acted together to help the two quickly stabilize the situation.
With four more World Gods as assistance, the situation that was originally somewhat out of control was instantly suppressed. As the four including the White Tiger became more proficient with the World Fusion technique, the situation in the Canglan Realm began to be gradually recovered.
The leaking Great Dao Laws gradually decreased, which allowed those Innate Deities who had almost fled to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Dao Ancestor Zi Wei is indeed watching this place. Now we can truly rest easy."
Seeing the sudden appearance of the Vermilion Bird and the three others, Yuan Phoenix and the others exchanged glances and continued to comprehend the Great Dao Laws.
Their harvest this time was great. After returning and digesting it, they would have the chance to step into the Middle Stage of the World God Realm in one go.
Seeing the Canglan Realm stabilize again, the Hundred Flowers Fairy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
With Dao Ancestor Zi Wei here, the Canglan Realm would definitely be fine, but experiencing the changes of the Canglan Realm as if she were there and facing those violent Great Dao Laws, her heart was inevitably a bit nervous.
Not to mention the Hundred Flowers Fairy, even Sanqing and the others, under the constant warnings of their divine sense, almost brought out their supreme treasures for protection.
However, with their Master sitting right in front of them, they forced themselves to suppress the impulse in their hearts.
It was unknown how much time had passed before they finally overcame this great terror of facing life and death.
After gradually adapting, a mysterious feeling rose from the bottom of their hearts, and their state of mind underwent a transformation because of it.
Seeing this, Wang Chen was very satisfied with their performance. Within life and death, there is great terror, but also great Opportunity.
"Your Realm and strength are insufficient, so stay here and comprehend the Dao."
"You can combine it with the World Fusion technique to comprehend together; perhaps you will gain more."
As he finished speaking, Wang Chen vanished from the Dao Platform.
Next, for the Canglan Realm to be promoted to an Origin Realm, there would be another great upheaval, an upheaval from the Great Dao Laws to the world itself.
As long as it passed peacefully, the Canglan Realm would become the Canglan Origin Realm, crossing the hurdle of the Major Thousand Worlds in one go.
An Origin Realm, as the name suggests, not only has more complete Great Dao Laws, but the world itself has its own Origin and can independently bestow Karma, blessings, and Karma, etc.
If it could take this step, it would be a complete transformation.
This promotion of the Canglan Realm could be said to have opportunities outweighing the crisis.
Emperor Canglan's flash of inspiration this time did have some merit.
Exchanging hundreds and thousands of Minor Thousand Worlds and Middle Thousand Worlds for an Origin Realm could only be called a small profit.
After all, opening an Origin Realm was not very difficult for him now, but the Dao that the many immortals and gods comprehended during this period was a pure gain.
Buzz~
With six World Gods acting together, the Canglan Realm gradually stabilized. Just when they thought there was no problem.
An invisible ripple of the Dao swept out, and everyone's expression instantly changed drastically.
The Heavenly Daos of all the worlds had already merged into one, but the changes in the Canglan Realm did not seem to stop because of it; instead, an even more violent reaction occurred.
It was promoting toward an Origin Realm, but its own condition was insufficient to support this promotion.
At this stage, Emperor Canglan and the others could no longer continue to intervene.
After all, within the World Fusion technique, there was no method to help a world promote to an Origin Realm.
"Do not panic. The Canglan Realm has fused too many worlds at once, and its essence has already exceeded the scope of a Major Thousand Worlds; it is promoting toward an Origin Realm."
"However, its interior is full of holes. In this state, it cannot be promoted to an Origin Realm. I still need to clear some hidden dangers for it."
A vast divine light illuminated the infinite starry sky, and appearing along with it was the pressure of the Creator God, comparable to the descent of the Heavenly Dao.
Wang Chen stepped out from the divine light.
The appearance of Dao Ancestor Zi Wei instantly put all the immortals and gods at ease. In the hearts of all immortals and gods, Dao Ancestor Zi Wei was an omnipotent existence.
At this point, the World Fusion that had taken one Yuanhui was finally coming to an end.
Thousands of immortals and gods surrounded the newborn Canglan Realm, feeling that the harvest from this comprehension was enormous.
It was practically comparable to a sermon by the Creator God.
In some respects, this kind of real evolution was even more likely to spark a flash of inspiration.
"We pay our respects to Dao Ancestor Zi Wei."
Wang Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this, and with a wave of his hand, a vast divine light enveloped the Canglan Realm.
The original world Rank of the Canglan Realm was not high, and it had fused so many worlds at once without any time to digest them.
This resulted in everything appearing to be well-fused on the surface, but its interior was still full of holes and many disharmonious places.
If such a Canglan Realm were allowed to continue its promotion, the result would undoubtedly be bad.
The world collapsing or even the entire Canglan Realm turning into nothingness was possible.
Only with Wang Chen personally taking action could the Canglan Realm successfully promote to an Origin Realm.
As the divine light enveloped it, all the immortals and gods also saw the true situation of the Canglan Realm.
The disharmonious parts gradually became harmonious within the divine light, like countless scrambled puzzle pieces gradually becoming a perfect painting.
Only then did the immortals and gods understand why Dao Ancestor Zi Wei had personally taken action.
The Fusion of the Canglan Realm was somewhat too hasty. Fusing so many worlds at once meant the digestion was incomplete, and many hidden dangers had no time to heal before new worlds were merged into it.
Now that the promotion of the Canglan Realm was imminent, ordinary methods were clearly useless. If they wanted the Canglan Realm to promote successfully, only this incredible method before them would work.
The Innate Deities watched the changes in the Canglan Realm with burning eyes, which could only be described as being entranced.
Within that divine light, the Great Dao Laws of the Canglan Realm became more perfect, the world itself was also undergoing a massive change, and all things were evolving. It was no longer like before, as if forced together; everything became natural.
A world is the external manifestation of the Great Dao Laws, and similarly, a world is the foundation that carries the Great Dao Laws.
Only when the two are perfectly matched can the world function better, and this was exactly what Wang Chen was doing.
Flowers, grass, trees, mountains, rivers, seas, heaven, earth, time, and space were all sublimating.
Blessed lands and grotto-heavens were nurtured under the operation of the Great Dao Laws, and spiritual lands and treasure lands were quietly born.
All things originally in the Minor Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, and Major Thousand Worlds began to undergo transformation under the effect of the Great Dao Laws, becoming existences that matched the current Canglan Realm.
A dilapidated world within the divine light seemed to have undergone endless years of natural evolution and repair.
A perfect Canglan Realm was born right before everyone's eyes.
"Is this the great power of the Creator God? Even the Great Dao Laws can be kneaded at will."
A deep sense of awe couldn't help but rise in the hearts of all the immortals and gods.
With the help of the divine light, the Canglan Realm's promotion to an Origin Realm became very smooth, even described as a natural progression.
The immortals and gods witnessed Dao Ancestor Zi Wei turning the tide, allowing the Canglan Realm to leap over the Major Thousand Worlds in one go, becoming the first Origin Realm born in the Great Desolation, successfully promoting to a higher level.
Seeing that everything had settled and that Dao Ancestor Zi Wei had not yet left, Yuan Phoenix, the Ancestral Dragon, and the other four were unwilling to miss this Opportunity. They hurriedly rode the divine light to the Dao Ancestor's presence and bowed respectfully.
(Minor Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, Major Thousand Worlds, Origin Realm, Dao Realm, True Realm)"Oh, it's you guys. Your cultivation has progressed quickly. Just as the Canglan Origin Realm has been promoted, come walk with me."
A divine glow helped Zulong and the others up. Wang Chen glanced at them with a faint smile, then turned to walk towards the Canglan Origin Realm.
"It's our honor."
Zulong and the others followed closely behind Wang Chen, feeling somewhat nervous and quickly reflecting on whether their clans had committed any mistakes recently.
During their conversation, the primordial heavens dao had bestowed 170,000 mu of heavenly dao merit, thirty percent of which fell toward Wang Chen.
Two portions went to the Canglan Emperor, while the Northern Emperor, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise Ancestor, and Fox Ancestor each received one portion.
Without any visible movement from Wang Chen, those three portions of heavenly dao merit vanished as soon as they approached him.
Wuji Palace.
The three portions of heavenly dao merit fell into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, causing the water to shine with a brilliant golden light.
As more heavenly dao merit merged into it, the golden lotus of merit rooted in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool glowed even more brightly.
It was clearly visible that the speed at which the golden lotus of merit bloomed had quickened compared to before; it looked like the day of its formal emergence was not far off.
Outside the Canglan Realm, the Innate Deities watched Dao Ancestor Zi Wei enter the Canglan Origin Realm, hesitating for a moment.
They wanted to enter but feared offending Dao Ancestor Zi Wei, so they could only stand there staring at each other.
Only Fire Dawn and the others had no such concerns.
The Canglan Realm—no, it should be called the Canglan Origin Realm now.
The Canglan Origin Realm was their hometown, and Dao Ancestor Zi Wei was their Father God.
They now wanted to return to the Canglan Origin Realm to see how it had changed and also wanted their Father God to see their current achievements.
But before that, Fire Dawn decided to ask his Master for instructions; if his Master agreed, entering the Canglan Origin Realm would be safe.
On the other side, the Canglan Emperor was staring blankly at the Canglan Origin Realm.
Coming back to his senses, he realized how reckless he had been; a single stray thought of his had almost caused the Canglan Realm to turn into nothingness.
Looking back now, those memories felt hazy, and he could no longer recall his thoughts at the time, which was an incredible thing for a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal.
For some reason, the Canglan Emperor did not dwell on it further but began thinking about other matters.
'Sigh, my state of mind cultivation is still lacking. Trying to preserve humanity to the greatest extent without being swept away by it—finding the right balance is so difficult!'
The Canglan Emperor felt he was unworthy of the two portions of heavenly dao merit he had received. With a wave of his hand, he prepared to merge them into the Canglan Origin Realm to strengthen its Origin.
"No need for that. Keep at least one portion; you might need heavenly dao merit for your cultivation in the future."
Seeing this, the Northern Emperor quickly stopped the Canglan Emperor.
A divine light flashed in his eyes as he saw a wisp of pure red dust energy at the center of the Canglan Emperor's brow. Clearly, this was a tribulation on the Red Dust Immortal Way.
It seemed the Canglan Emperor was unaware of his current situation.
The Northern Emperor performed a brief calculation with his left hand behind his back; the result was that this tribulation was a mix of blessing and misfortune.
Clearly, if the Canglan Emperor could overcome this step, his cultivation would surely advance greatly.
This was the first time the Northern Emperor had seen a path where tribulations descended during cultivation.
Previously, whether the primordial immortals and gods cultivated the Immortal Path, God Path, or Demonic Path, no such tribulations had descended.
This situation was truly unique and might be related to the Canglan Emperor cultivating the Human Path and following the Red Dust Immortal Way.
The Northern Emperor planned to perform a calculation using the Divine Ability Purple Star Numerology after parting with the Canglan Emperor to investigate the matter further.
He didn't dare to point out the Canglan Emperor's current state directly; if doing so caused something bad to happen, it would be troublesome.
"This... you're right. I'll keep one portion then."
The Canglan Emperor hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Just then, Fire Dawn flew over on a fire cloud, his face filled with unconcealable joy.
"Master, Junior Martial Uncle, I wonder if we can return to the Canglan Origin Realm now."
Seeing his disciple approach, the Canglan Emperor's expression cleared slightly for a moment, and he frowned almost imperceptibly.
But it vanished in an instant. He smiled and tapped Fire Dawn's head, saying, "What a little rascal. Go back without worry; Dao Ancestor Zi Wei will not blame you."
Fire Dawn shrunk his neck, but upon hearing he could return, he cheered, "Thank you, Master, Junior Martial Uncle!"
Fire Dawn hurriedly bowed in farewell and steered his fire cloud toward the Canglan Origin Realm.
Black Mountain Lord and the others, who had been watching Fire Dawn, bowed to the two and then followed closely behind him into the Canglan Origin Realm.
The immortals and gods who had not yet left became restless upon seeing this.
Many immortals and gods looked toward the Northern Emperor; in the starry sky, listening to him was always the right choice.
The thoughts of these immortals and gods were obvious; he had mentioned this after the sermon ended.
The immortals and gods surely remembered his words clearly, but now that Dao Ancestor Zi Wei had entered, they still didn't dare to go in without explicit instructions.
This was the manifestation of Dao Ancestor Zi Wei's Divine Might in the hearts of all living beings!
Earlier under the heaven-reaching sacred tree, the original body's intention had been very clear, so the Northern Emperor naturally followed the plan.
"I said before that you may enter, but you must not disturb the lives of the beings in the Canglan Origin Realm."
The Northern Emperor's majestic voice resounded through this part of the starry sky.
"We respectfully obey the Northern Emperor's decree."
The immortals and gods showed expressions of joy, bowed toward the Northern Emperor, and then turned into streaks of light to enter the Canglan Origin Realm.
This included many Innate Deities. The Northern Emperor's gaze lingered on Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi for a moment.
He wondered how they would react after learning about the existence of the Imperial Dynasties and Luck Dynasties.
The Northern Emperor looked forward to it.
"I have a feeling and intend to walk around the Canglan Origin Realm."
The Northern Emperor saw that the Canglan Emperor had become aware of his own state. After Fire Dawn arrived, he clearly regained clarity for a moment, and at that time, the Canglan Emperor transformed that one portion of heavenly dao merit into a golden wheel of merit for protection.
With the presence of the golden wheel of merit, he could now maintain a trace of clarity, and his state was much better than before.
Since the Canglan Emperor didn't ask for help, it meant he had to overcome this tribulation on his own.
Under the Northern Emperor's gaze, the Canglan Emperor transformed into an ordinary beast tribe youth and landed in a city of the Tianyù Imperial Dynasty, seemingly to experience the life of a Mortal.
The Northern Emperor was puzzled by this method of cultivation, but he simply informed the original body of his memories and conjectures and then stopped worrying about the Canglan Emperor.
After all, he was a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal with few rivals in the entire Primordial World; there was no need for him to protect him.
The Northern Emperor found a quiet place and began to perform Purple Star Numerology... A light rain drizzled from the sky, containing rich Innate Spiritual Qi.
All things were nourished by it, becoming more prosperous, with flowers, grass, and trees competing in beauty.
Birds, Beasts, insects, and fish bathed in this rain, their ailments vanishing as they became energetic and even slightly stronger with every breath.
This rain would grant wisdom to many creatures, leading them onto paths different from the past and toward different lives.
Wang Chen stood in the Void Realm with Zulong and the other three, quietly watching everything.
In the Canglan Origin Realm, besides the newly nurtured grotto-heavens and blessed lands, the most eye-catching thing was the civilization that had developed completely differently from the Primordial World.
Kingdoms, Imperial Dynasties, and Sects filled every corner of the Canglan Origin Realm.
What caught the eyes of Zulong and the others were the various royal and imperial cities, where the Luck of the entire nation converged.
"How is it? Have you gained anything from seeing the many kingdoms and Imperial Dynasties of the Canglan Origin Realm?"
Wang Chen's voice betrayed no emotion, as if he were merely asking about an ordinary matter.
Zulong and the others didn't dare to be careless; they exchanged a quiet glance, and Zulong spoke first.
With a solemn expression and respectful words, he said, "In reply to the Dao Ancestor, I have indeed gained some insights. These Imperial Dynasties have great prospects and much potential to be explored."
Zulong didn't dare to guess Dao Ancestor Zi Wei's thoughts, so he could only speak the truth.
"In reply to the Dao Ancestor, these Imperial Dynasties rule over many races and consolidate the Luck of a nation. It's somewhat similar to the three tribes of Scales, Beasts, and Birds we established, but the cohesion seems to be stronger."
The Beginning Qilin spoke next; he saw shadows of the Beast tribe in these Imperial Dynasties.
When it came to Yuanfeng, she didn't answer immediately but observed carefully for a while before speaking.
"In reply to the Dao Ancestor, I observe that those kings and ministers all have Luck upon them, and some dynasties can even mobilize national Luck to a certain extent."
"This is still under the control of low-Realm immortals and gods. If top-tier immortals and gods were to establish an Imperial Dynasty, the power they could exert would be unimaginable."
Yuanfeng observed seriously, and as Black Mountain Lord happened to return to the Myriad Beast Kingdom, she noticed some clues.
"Correct. If I said that the three tribes are not allowed to establish nations in the Primordial World, would you blame me?"
Wang Chen's words remained calm, but Zulong and the other three began to break out in a cold sweat.
"We respectfully obey the Dao Ancestor's decree. Since the Dao Ancestor does not allow us to establish nations in the Primordial World, it must be for our own good. The three tribes will have no complaints."
Yinglong, who had been silent, immediately bowed respectfully. Hearing this, Zulong and the other two came to their senses and followed suit.
Wang Chen didn't turn back to look at them, his tone still as flat as before.
"This method of Imperial Dynasties seems to have a great future, but whether it can adapt to the situation of the Primordial World is unknown. However, it is certain to stir up a fierce struggle."
"The three tribes have only just emerged from the last Great Calamity, and I do not want you to be caught up in another one."
"Cultivate in peace. If you truly want to stretch your muscles, you can come to the Inner Chaos. Many worlds will be opened up next, and there is no danger of a Great Calamity there. You can do as you please."
The more Zulong and the others heard, the lower they bowed their heads. Yinglong even trembled slightly under the invisible Divine Might.
It was clear that Dao Ancestor Zi Wei was warning the three tribes. Yinglong could already imagine that if the three tribes were caught in a Great Calamity again, they would likely meet a bad end.
"We respectfully obey the Dao Ancestor's decree. My Phoenix Clan is willing to go to the Inner Chaos and no longer participate in the disputes within the Primordial World."
Yuanfeng quickly made a decision. The only way to avoid disputes was to stay away.
Being in the middle of it would lead to times when one had no choice. Anyway, they hadn't been established in the starry sky for long, so there was no harm in moving again.
Moreover, she knew that any world existing in the Inner Chaos had to be at least an Origin Realm. If she could secure an Origin Realm for the Phoenix Clan because of this, it would be an incredible gain.
The Phoenix Realm in the starry sky was merely a Major Thousand World, which would certainly be insufficient for their increasingly prosperous clan.
Beside her, Zulong and the Beginning Qilin couldn't help but widen their eyes, not expecting Yuanfeng to be so decisive as to choose to go to the Inner Chaos directly.
Are you such a sycophant? Does the rest of your Phoenix Clan know?
Yinglong thought for a moment and understood Yuanfeng's reasoning, so he winked frantically at Zulong.
Zulong immediately understood and followed suit, saying, "The Dragon Clan is also willing to go to the Inner Chaos and stay away from the disputes of the Great Calamity from now on."
With the Phoenix and Dragon Clans having made their choices, the Qilin Clan had no other option. If the Qilin Clan chose to stay in the Primordial World, he didn't dare to imagine what would happen next.
"Dao Ancestor, my Qilin Clan is also willing to go to the Inner Chaos. I only beg for the Dao Ancestor's mercy to take in the Qilin Clan."
Although the Beginning Qilin didn't know what Yuanfeng and Zulong were thinking, following them was the right move.
After all, the three tribes had always been like this.
"Sigh, since you insist, I can only agree."
"Since the three tribes trust me so much, I will not treat you poorly."
"I will open up a top-tier Origin Realm for each of you in the Inner Chaos for the members of the three tribes to live in."
"However, a total migration of the entire clan is not necessary. It's fine for some clan members below the Daluo Realm to remain in the Primordial World."
Having the three tribes go to the Inner Chaos was the result of Wang Chen's careful consideration. As the three tribes grew stronger, it was inevitable that some members would have expanding ambitions.
If this led the three tribes into another Great Calamity, the resulting damage would be immense.
They already had four World Gods, and there might be more in the future. Once an all-out war broke out, the destruction could be described as earth-shattering.
This could not be allowed to happen under any circumstances.
The Inner Chaos happened to be vast. Since they had the energy, they might as well develop the Inner Chaos; this was something he had planned long ago.
Hearing this, Yuanfeng was delighted. A top-tier Origin Realm was enough for the current Phoenix Clan to survive. Moreover, Dao Ancestor Zi Wei had said that in the Inner Chaos, they could do as they pleased, no longer having to live in fear every day like they did now, worrying about being caught in a Great Calamity again.
"Dao Ancestor Zi Wei is merciful; the Phoenix Clan will keep this in our hearts."
The cold sweat on Yuanfeng vanished, and her face became filled with smiles.
"Hmm. To prevent you from finding the Inner Chaos boring, I used the leaves of the World Tree to refine some divine vessels that can travel through it."
"With these, it will be more convenient for you to communicate in the future."
Yuanfeng was always so sensible; Wang Chen was very satisfied with her.
With a wave of his hand, ten brilliant divine vessels appeared before Zulong and the others. Four fell into Yuanfeng's hands, three into Zulong's, and the last three went to the Beginning Qilin.
Yuanfeng looked at the four divine vessels in her hands with great joy. Treasures that could travel freely in the Inner Chaos were, in a way, even more precious than Innate Spirit Treasures.
Out of the ten, she had received four, nearly half. This made Yuanfeng's mood even more wonderful.
It was clear from this that her position in the Dao Ancestor's heart was significantly higher.
It seemed that everything she had done before was useful.
Zulong and the Beginning Qilin naturally understood that this was the reward for being the first to speak.Yuan Feng and the other three each went back to prepare and handle their clan's affairs.
Next, he would also be busy for a period of time.
"How is it? Have you calculated anything?"
Wang Chen took a step forward and arrived beside the Northern Emperor, speaking with a playful expression.
"I've calculated some things. When living beings owe too much Karma to heaven and earth, it will transform into various calamities that descend upon them."
"First there was heaven and earth karmic debt, and now there are karmic calamities, this..."
The Northern Emperor looked at Wang Chen with a Face full of disbelief, as if saying: Was this also your suggestion?
"That's right, it's exactly as you guessed."
"Having only heaven and earth karmic debt is not enough. To extend the mass calamity indefinitely, one must transform the great calamity into small calamities. Only then can the growth of calamity qi between heaven and earth truly be prevented."
Wang Chen smiled very proudly. The immortals and gods of the past had lived too well, having not a shred of reverence for the Primordial Heaven and Earth.
There were very few immortals and gods who knew gratitude and gave back to heaven and earth. For the sake of Attaining the Dao, they all fought like dogs.
And the restrictive methods of the Heavenly Dao were too slow and ineffective; gradually, many immortals and gods became unscrupulous.
Whether it was the Heavenly Dao Saints or the Heavenly Court, they were all methods the primordial heavens dao tried to use to restrain the immortals and gods.
Unfortunately, this system didn't seem to work. Even the Saints and the Heavenly Court would personally participate, which led to even greater destruction of the Primordial World.
In Wang Chen's view, that system was not effective. The best way to restrain immortals and gods was for the Heavenly Dao to directly establish a set of rules to reward good and punish evil for all beings in the Primordial World.
Once it involved their own path of cultivation, the immortals and gods would naturally know what to do.
"It truly is you. If all living beings knew that these rules of the Heavenly Dao all originated from you, I wonder what they would think."
"Hehe, I only give suggestions to the Heavenly Dao. Whether the Heavenly Dao adopts them or not is not my business."
"Where do you think these karmic calamities came from? It's because the heaven and earth karmic debt I suggested before was too effective, so the Heavenly Dao made this change."
Wang Chen could hardly suppress the upward curve of his lips.
It's fine for the immortals and gods to suffer a little; it's all for the sake of Attaining the Dao.
Moreover, compared to a mass calamity, this kind of karmic calamity is simply too gentle.
Using such a small price to prevent the arrival of a mass calamity is a pure profit.
Furthermore, this way it won't affect innocent beings. Whoever created the heaven and earth karmic debt, whoever owes the karmic calamity, let them be the ones to pay it back.
This is very fair, isn't it? All living beings in the entire Primordial World are treated equally.
A great liquidation like a mass calamity not only causes great damage to the Primordial World but also results in many innocent and weak beings being caught in the crossfire and dying miserably.
What wrong have those beings done who only want to live a free and stable life?
Since it's a liquidation anyway, it's better to be precise.
The Northern Emperor couldn't help but shake his head and laugh upon hearing this. After this series of moves, the influence on the Divine Path was the smallest.
Cultivators of the Immortal Path, Martial Path, and Demonic Path would have a headache. It was estimated that the Primordial World would be in a state of Chaos for a while.
"It's just that Emperor Canglan seems to have quite a bit of Karma for the Primordial Heaven and Earth; how could he be entangled by a calamity?"
"His is not a simple calamity. The Heavenly Dao previously condensed nine strands of Grandmist Purple Qi and had nowhere to use them, so it transformed them into Heavenly Positions."
"Only those with great Karma towards the Primordial World can have such an Opportunity."
"So that is both a calamity and an Opportunity. If he passes it, he can obtain a Heavenly Position, which can be considered a good thing."
Since Wang Chen appeared, the primordial heavens dao found that many things it had prepared before were useless.
The Grandmist Purple Qi lost its original purpose as soon as it was born. With the suggestions proposed by Wang Chen, the primordial heavens dao had no need for Heavenly Dao Saints at all.
As for protecting the Primordial World, there was even less need for Heavenly Dao Saints. With Innate Divine Spirits, who shared glory and ruin with the Primordial Heaven and Earth, there was less trouble and less risk of them running away.
The cases of merging with the Dao that Wang Chen had shown the primordial heavens dao before also played a role.
Most importantly, Wang Chen had told the Heavenly Dao about some of the drawbacks of Heavenly Dao Saints.
Without someone to merge with the Dao, the Heavenly Dao's binding power over Saints would drop sharply. The Saints' actions could not be guaranteed, so the Heavenly Dao Saints would have no meaning for existence.
The Northern Emperor felt relieved after learning that Emperor Canglan was fine.
Now that the matters here were handled, Wang Chen took the White Tiger and the others back to the Wuji Palace.
The Sanqing, Nuwa, and Houtu continued their secluded cultivation to prepare for a Breakthrough. With the accumulation from the Canglan Origin World, Attaining the Dao would become smoother.
They might even be able to master more Great Dao Laws, making their own Great Dao Laws even stronger.
Wang Chen had already comprehended all the Innate Spirit Treasures; next, other matters were waiting for him.
Leaving the Divine Realm, the creation divine sword appeared by his side. He was going to start opening worlds in the Inner Chaos.
This was both to open up worlds needed for the three clans to survive and to prepare Spirit Treasures for his disciples who were about to Attain the Dao.
He currently only had six innate supreme treasures in his hands, but he had nine disciples.
With Wang Chen's personality, he would absolutely not favor one over the other, so he was still lacking three innate supreme treasures.
The innate supreme treasure four swords of zhu xian for the White Tiger.
The Acquired supreme treasure grandmist measuring heaven ruler for Xuanwu.
The innate supreme treasure taiji diagram for Laozi.
The innate supreme treasure pangu banner for Yuanshi.
The innate supreme treasure green lotus of creation for Tongtian.
The innate supreme treasure qiankun cauldron for Nuwa.
Wang Chen had already arranged the six innate supreme treasures in his hand. Although the grandmist measuring heaven ruler was not an innate supreme treasure, its power was definitely not inferior to one.
Among the remaining three disciples, the easiest one to solve was Houtu. Currently, the Netherworld Reincarnation was not yet fully nurtured.
The supreme treasure of the Reincarnation Demon God, the Reincarnation Disk, had not yet been fully assimilated and absorbed by the Primordial World. Going to salvage it now and obtaining an innate supreme treasure-level Reincarnation Disk would not be a problem.
He had already communicated with the Heavenly Dao about this and made many compensations, including the reincarnation tree and the Canglan Incarnation.
After Reincarnation is born, the Heavenly Position of the Canglan Incarnation will also appear, and after that, the Canglan Incarnation will become the Great Emperor of Fengdu.
The Ghost Gate, Yellow Springs Road, Naihe Bridge, River of Forgetfulness, Fengdu City, Three-Life Stone, Terrace of Looking Home, Yama Hall, Eighteen Levels of Hell... To ensure the Netherworld would not be affected, Wang Chen used the qiankun cauldron to refine many Innate Spirit Treasures.
Only when the time was right would the Heavenly Dao open the portal to the Netherworld for him.
Before that, Wang Chen still needed to open two Dao Realms and use the power of the entire Dao Realm to nurture innate supreme treasures.
In the Inner Chaos, the sword light of the creation divine sword flashed continuously as worlds were opened under Wang Chen's sword.
To ensure that the Innate Spirit Treasures nurtured by the two Dao Realms were sufficient to become innate supreme treasures, Wang Chen also used the method of world Fusion.
The Fusion of Dao Realms was very time-consuming, but because of the Canglan Origin World incident, he had also deduced the world Fusion method to a higher level.
Looking at the prototypes of the Innate Spirit Treasures being nurtured by the world Origin in the two Dao Realms, Wang Chen nodded in satisfaction.
To ensure that these two innate supreme treasures matched the Dao of his disciples, he also took the auras of the Vermilion Bird and the Fox Ancestor and placed them inside.
Even the Great Dao Laws used when opening the Dao Realms were very similar to theirs.
Wang Chen separated two Divine Thoughts to monitor the situation in the Dao Realms at all times.
He then set about opening three Origin Realms for the three clans. These three worlds were quite far from the Divine Realm.
The three clans didn't seem like the peaceful type, so Wang Chen placed their worlds further away to avoid disturbing his peace.
As for the reason why he didn't directly open Dao Realms for the three clans, it was simple. Although the three clans were subordinate to him, they were not entirely his own people.
Some rewards didn't need to be given in full all at once; some space should be left.
After the three clans performed meritorious deeds in the future, Wang Chen would teach them the world Fusion method.
At that time, let them work for their own prosperity.
He believed that by then, in order to upgrade their worlds to Dao Realms, the Inner Chaos would become much more lively.
Putting away the creation divine sword, Wang Chen pointed his finger, and three imprints appeared in the Origin Realms.
With these imprints, the divine ark in the hands of the three clans could follow the guidance of the imprints to their respective worlds.
The remaining matters didn't need Wang Chen's concern; he believed the three clans could complete them on their own.
A top-tier Origin Realm contains many Opportunities. He believed the three clans would be pleasantly surprised when they truly entered.
Opening these worlds had already taken a lot of time, yet the Heavenly Dao had not yet sent word that he could go to the Netherworld.
Helplessly, he could only continue opening worlds to pass the time. However, most of these worlds were ordinary Origin Realms, with only a few reaching the level of top-tier Origin Realms.
These Origin Realms were distributed throughout the Inner Chaos and were not clustered together. If there was anything in common, it was that they were all between the Divine Realm and the Great Wilderness.
After approaching the Great Wilderness, Wang Chen stopped opening worlds. By a rough calculation, he had opened hundreds of Origin Realms along the way, which could be considered as adding much Origin to the Primordial World.
'Hmph, for the sake of these Origin Realms, can't you speed up the nurturing of the Netherworld?'
After complaining about the Heavenly Dao in his heart, his figure appeared in the Great Wilderness.
In the Chaos not far from the Great Wilderness, beneath a small tree that was constantly shedding Mysterious Yellow Qi, Ancestor Yang Mei, who was sitting in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes.
He sensed Wang Chen's aura, a smile appeared on his Face, and with a wave of his hand, he disappeared into this patch of Chaos along with the Mysterious Yellow Mother Tree.
Wang Chen, who was observing the nurturing status of Hongjun and the other two, sensed Ancestor Yang Mei's aura rapidly approaching.
"Heh, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei truly cares about you all, choosing a Dao field so close by."
Wang Chen's gaze swept downward. After two eonss of nurturing, Hongjun and the other two had already gained consciousness. All that remained for their complete return was to recover their memories and be born.
However, those still required some time to complete.
As their Realm and strength increased, Hongjun and the other two would successively find back everything that belonged to them, except, of course, for those external possessions.
The opening of the Great Wilderness was a joint effort by Wang Chen and Ancestor Yang Mei.
Even among Dao Realms, the Great Wilderness could be ranked in the upper-middle tier.
It was not difficult to ensure that Hongjun, Luo Hou, and Ancestor Yinyang were at the Zenith Heaven Realm upon birth.
"How does Fellow Daoist Ziwei have the leisure to come to the Great Wilderness?"
Ancestor Yang Mei had been waiting for a long time. He had been waiting for Ziwei to come over so he could show off the Mysterious Yellow Mother Tree he had created.
"Between secluded cultivation and handling some matters in the Primordial World, I haven't had much time to come and take a look."
"Now that I have some time, I have come to visit the three Fellow Daoists."
"Unfortunately, it will still take some time for the three Fellow Daoists to fully return."
"As for Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, you truly are a man of your word. I didn't expect you to actually place your Dao field near the Great Wilderness."
Seeing the smile on Ancestor Yang Mei's Face, Wang Chen knew he had encountered something good and likely wanted to share it with him.
This made it all the more reason not to ask proactively, so Wang Chen pretended not to see it and genuinely explained his reasons.
Seeing Great Emperor Ziwei's act of ignorance, Ancestor Yang Mei's smile suddenly stiffened.
"Sigh, was this old man's expression too obvious? I've been seen through by Fellow Daoist Ziwei. As expected, I can't hide anything from you."
"Look, this is the Mysterious Yellow Mother Tree I created. Unlike your World Tree, after it takes root in Chaos, it will constantly shed mysterious yellow mother qi."
"When this mysterious yellow mother qi combines with Chaos Qi, worlds will be born one after another. Although it's different from your World Tree, it has similar wonders."
Ancestor Yang Mei held up the Mysterious Yellow Mother Tree; it was clear he was truly happy.
"The Mysterious Yellow Mother Tree. Fellow Daoist Yang Mei has truly created something incredible."
"mysterious yellow mother qi can be called the Origin Qi of heaven and earth. It can evolve into all things and forge the Foundation for worlds. It's no wonder you are so happy with such a divine object."
"Moreover, this mysterious yellow mother qi is also a rare treasure for refining Spirit Treasures."
Ancestor Yang Mei was truly doing big things quietly. Even Wang Chen was a bit envious of this Mysterious Yellow Mother Tree.
As Ancestor Yang Mei listened to Ziwei's praise of the Mysterious Yellow Mother Tree, the smile on his Face became even brighter than when he arrived.
He stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, fully agreeing with Great Emperor Ziwei's words.
"Fellow Daoist Ziwei is right. This old man's Dao field will be forged using this shedding mysterious yellow mother qi."
"Given time, my Dao field might even surpass a Dao Realm and become a True Realm."
Ancestor Yang Mei saw the fleeting envy on Wang Chen's Face and couldn't help but feel a touch of pride.
Back then, he had really liked the World Tree, especially since it contained a branch of his original body.
Unfortunately, during that time, all the innate spiritual roots had already been messed with by Great Emperor Ziwei; otherwise, he would have started preparing then.
But looking at it now, perhaps it was a good thing. If he had immediately started creating an Acquired spiritual wood back then, what he created might not have been the Mysterious Yellow Mother Tree.
A single thought can make a huge difference.
"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, how is our relationship?"
Looking at Ancestor Yang Mei's smug Face, Wang Chen suddenly smiled.
Ancestor Yang Mei's hand stroking his beard paused, and he moved the Mysterious Yellow Mother Tree a bit further away.
"We have known each other for a long time, and our relationship has always been good. Why does Fellow Daoist Ziwei ask this?"
Wang Chen laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "Since our relationship is very good, now that you've obtained such a divine object, surely you won't forget me?"
Wang Chen gave Ancestor Yang Mei a 'you know' look, his eyes fixed intently on the shedding mysterious yellow mother qi.
Ancestor Yang Mei almost laughed out of frustration.
"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Ziwei to have such a slippery side. It's quite rare. Very well, I haven't saved up much mysterious yellow mother qi, but I will gift you some."Ten strands of mysterious yellow mother qi floated in Ancestor Yang Mei's hands.
Forget the mysterious yellow mother qi; even a single wisp of mysterious yellow qi was incredibly heavy.
An ordinary Small World could not even carry the existence of the mysterious yellow mother qi.
The Innate Spiritual Qi within the Great Desolation was actually absorbed upon nearing the mysterious yellow mother qi, and wisps of mysterious yellow qi gradually began to form; it was quite miraculous.
"As expected of the mysterious yellow mother qi. It would be excellent for a world to be nourished by mysterious yellow qi for a long time."
Wang Chen took the mysterious yellow mother qi from Ancestor Yang Mei's hands; the moment it touched his palm, he felt a sense of immense weight, as if he were holding up ten worlds.
Putting away the mysterious yellow mother qi, Wang Chen glanced at the xuanhuang mother tree.
"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, do you have any remaining mysterious yellow mother qi? I am willing to exchange for it."
Seeing polaris's expression, Ancestor Yang Mei didn't know whether to be happy or exasperated for a moment.
He stopped thinking about showing off the xuanhuang mother tree and quickly put it away; he feared that if he didn't, the tree might be plucked bald in a moment.
"Fellow Daoist polaris, you may not know, but this xuanhuang mother tree grows extremely slowly. Those strands of mysterious yellow mother qi I just gave you already account for nearly half of what I have."
"Most of the rest was used by me to open up my Daoist rite, so I really don't have much on hand now."
Upon hearing this, Wang Chen's eyes lit up instead of showing disappointment.
"Not much means there's still some. I won't make things difficult for you, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei; I will exchange nine heavens breathing soil and World Tree leaves with you."
Ancestor Yang Mei had directly given ten strands of mysterious yellow mother qi, which was already beyond Wang Chen's expectations.
He was not a greedy person and would not rely on his strength to oppress those around him.
He had many treasures himself, so he directly picked out two treasures of similar value for the exchange.
"Oh? The nine heavens breathing soil is more attractive to this old Daoist. Then let us exchange nine heavens breathing soil for three strands of mysterious yellow mother qi, and World Tree leaves for two strands."
The nine heavens breathing soil would certainly be useful for the xuanhuang mother tree; exchanging some to help the tree grow faster was a win-win situation no matter how one calculated it.
Furthermore, the World Tree leaves were no ordinary items; each leaf possessed the power to carry a world, and endless Great Dao Laws flowed within them, making them highly valuable for research.
Both of them were very satisfied with this transaction.
"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Yang Mei to care so little for Spirit Treasures while having such a great fondness for these Spiritual Roots."
With a wave of Wang Chen's hand, blooming auspicious clouds appeared beneath them, lifting them up.
In the center of the cloud platform stood a somewhat strange Acquired spiritual wood, with a round table and two prayer mats below it.
On the round table were a teapot and two teacups.
"Spirit Treasures are ultimately external objects; one or two for protection are enough. One's own strength is the foundation."
Wang Chen nodded in agreement; given Ancestor Yang Mei's status as a Chaos Demon God, he was indeed qualified to say such a thing.
After all, every Chaos Demon God possessed their own Dao Legacy.
After Ancestor Yang Mei's Reincarnation into the primordial world, his Dao Legacy was likely incomplete.
But looking at the current situation, the Legacy for the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm should still be intact.
Therefore, Ancestor Yang Mei only needed to cultivate step by step, so he naturally had little interest in comprehending the Great Dao Laws within Innate Spirit Treasures.
To put it bluntly, most Innate Spirit Treasures in the primordial world that contained the Law of Space were inferior to a single twig from Ancestor Yang Mei's body.
Of course, it was also possible that Ancestor Yang Mei did not want to form too much Karma with the primordial world.
The two sat facing each other, and under Ancestor Yang Mei's gaze, Wang Chen began to brew tea.
"As for Spiritual Roots, before seeing the World Tree, this old Daoist didn't care much for them either."
"It was also that time that allowed this old Daoist to discover that the combination of Innate and Acquired could actually give birth to such incredible things."
"The knowledge contained within is incomparably profound; the slightest change can give birth to countless possibilities."
"The reason this old Daoist cares about the World Tree is that I saw the possibility of it surpassing an innate spiritual root. How could that not surprise me?"
"I can only say that every time I meet Fellow Daoist polaris, you bring surprises to this old Daoist, and it seems this time is no exception."
Ancestor Yang Mei looked at the somewhat strange Acquired spiritual wood beside him; the patterns on every single leaf outlined a completely different appearance.
Some depicted the sun blooming with brilliant golden radiance, others the moon emitting a cold silver glow.
There were flowing rivers, vast oceans, and deep, cold pools.
Some patterns were like true Dragons, Phoenixes, Qilins, Vermilion Birds, and Golden Crows, each one vivid and lifelike.
Each was distinct and unique.
Every leaf emitted a different Dao Rhyme.
"This tree is called the enlightenment tea tree. It absorbs the Dao Rhyme of heaven and earth to nurture its leaves."
"These leaves contain different Great Dao Laws; the higher the leaf, the better the effect."
"Every leaf has the effect of allowing one to gain enlightenment, and the small cluster at the very top even has the effect of making one feel closer to the Great Dao Laws."
"However, at our Realm, this tea can only be appreciated for its taste."
Having said that, Wang Chen poured a cup of enlightenment tea for Ancestor Yang Mei.
This cup of enlightenment tea was composed of three lights divine water and several leaves from the very top of the enlightenment tea tree.
Even in the entire primordial world, it was a rare treasure.
Ancestor Yang Mei was quite interested; True Man Kong Ming was very fond of tea, and in his memory, he had drunk quite a lot of spiritual tea.
His Incarnation drank it often, but this was the first time for his true body, and it was the highest-grade tea in the primordial world right from the start.
Ancestor Yang Mei also became interested, picking up the teacup and naturally taking a small sip to savor it carefully.
Upon entering his mouth, his mind became clear, and he felt a magical power enhancing his Comprehension Ability; at the same time, he felt a bit closer when comprehending the Great Dao Laws.
His first thought was that the taste was excellent; no wonder True Man Kong Ming loved drinking spiritual tea so much.
Soon after, the effects contained within the enlightenment tea gradually began to manifest.
polaris was right; this enlightenment tea was indeed a good thing. While enhancing comprehension had little effect on him...
...feeling closer to the Great Dao Laws seemed to have some effect on him. Ancestor Yang Mei did not immediately draw a conclusion but took two more sips to feel it carefully.
A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and his gaze toward polaris became somewhat unreadable.
"Fellow Daoist polaris, you may not know, but your enlightenment tea tree actually has some effect on this old Daoist. You know my origins; just now, when I was comprehending the Great Dao Laws, it felt a bit better than before."
Ancestor Yang Mei stared intently at the enlightenment tea tree.
"Oh? Since it can help you, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, I am not a stingy person; I will gift some to you."
The way Ancestor Yang Mei looked at the enlightenment tea tree was very familiar to Wang Chen; it was similar to the gaze he had just given the xuanhuang mother tree.
"I originally intended to gift you some mysterious yellow mother qi so that you would owe me a bit of Karma, but in the end, it turned into an exchange again."
Ancestor Yang Mei looked at the ten boxes of enlightenment tea, shaking his head with a wry smile.
"I also didn't expect the enlightenment tea tree to be of such help to you. It seems I must have the Hundred Flowers Fairy take good care of it from now on."
"Exchanging this enlightenment tea for your mysterious yellow mother qi in the future would be good as well."
Wang Chen and Ancestor Yang Mei smiled at each other, though there was a hint of helplessness in Ancestor Yang Mei's smile.
He hadn't expected that as a dignified Grand Unity Golden Immortal, he would be swayed by an enlightenment tea tree.
In Wang Chen's eyes, the enlightenment tea and the mysterious yellow mother qi were clearly not on the same level of treasure, but this enlightenment tea happened to have the effect of affinity for the Great Dao Laws.
And Ancestor Yang Mei's origins meant that the primordial heavens dao could not possibly welcome him, so the value of the enlightenment tea was instantly raised in Ancestor Yang Mei's eyes.
"It seems this old Daoist's mysterious yellow mother qi won't be safe."
Ancestor Yang Mei put away the enlightenment tea; the two did not dwell on the topic, as it was just a minor matter to them.
With Ancestor Yang Mei's Realm and strength, he could simply comprehend the Great Dao Laws directly within Chaos; the primordial heavens dao was not his only choice.
The reason Ancestor Yang Mei continued to comprehend the primordial heavens dao was largely due to Wang Chen.
First was to comprehend the Martial Dao; there were many immortals and gods practicing the Martial Dao in the primordial world, and many of their novel ideas were worth learning from.
Second was to study the Divine Way; as the saying goes, stones from other hills may serve to polish jade. He had personally experienced the power of the Innate Divine Dao and did not yet know where its limit lay, making him very curious.
What he looked forward to most was seeing how far Wang Chen, the founder of the Divine Way, could go and where he would end up.
Third was to comprehend the primordial heavens dao; with Wang Chen's several interventions, the primordial heavens dao had become increasingly perfected, and some Great Dao Laws were very attractive to him.
Especially after the primordial world's promotion when the Earthly Dao and Human Dao were born.
The two gradually began to discuss the current situation of the primordial world.
Ancestor Yang Mei saw the changes in the primordial world through True Man Kong Ming; they could be described as changing with each passing day.
Opportunities would descend every so often, and the overall strength of the primordial beings had entered a period of explosive growth.
This was different from any previous Great Tribulation period; Ancestor Yang Mei could not understand polaris's method of nurturing the primordial beings.
But he knew that this Dao Ancestor polaris must be playing a grand game of chess.
"Fellow Daoist polaris, do you intend to promote the way of Imperial Dynasties and Luck within the primordial world?"
"I see that many immortals and gods, after coming out of the Canglan Origin World, are preparing to establish their own Imperial Dynasties."
"It can be said to have a wide impact. Are you not afraid that the primordial world will fall into Chaos and trigger another Great Tribulation?"
Ancestor Yang Mei saw no benefit in this method of Imperial Dynasties; instead, he felt it was a source of disaster, much like the three tribes of the past.
Logically, polaris had personally experienced the era of the three tribes and should be very clear about the stakes involved.
"Heh, you think too highly of them. The immortals and gods jumping out now are all bark and no bite; none of them will amount to anything."
"Besides, do you think that if I didn't introduce it, the method of Imperial Dynasties wouldn't appear?"
"Cities, Luck, commerce... all sorts of basic conditions have been met, and the prototype of the Imperial Dynasty has long since appeared."
"Even if I didn't introduce it, those immortals and gods would have discovered it sooner or later."
"As various cities gradually grow stronger, communities of shared interests have already formed, with some being dependent and others cooperating."
"Look again, Fellow Daoist; is that not the prototype of an Imperial Dynasty?"
"What I am planning this time is not some method of Imperial Dynasties and Luck, but to let order take root in the primordial world earlier."
"As the various tribes of the primordial world grow stronger, if there is no corresponding order, they will sooner or later fight among themselves for profit."
"Although the establishment of an Imperial Dynasty is accompanied by bloodshed, it also signifies the emergence of order."
Wang Chen explained some simple concepts to Ancestor Yang Mei; his true purpose was to allow the Heavenly Court to be born normally.
The Saints of the Heavenly Dao created by the primordial heavens dao were not that great, but the Heavenly Court was indeed quite good—provided its Laws were strict and it didn't turn into a reckless Demon Court.
However, he would not tell Ancestor Yang Mei these things.
Ancestor Yang Mei thought for a moment and, once he understood, felt that polaris's words made some sense.
As tribes grow, their ambitions naturally expand; if left unchecked, they would eventually fight each other.
Perhaps establishing Imperial Dynasties could bring a more lasting peace?
Ancestor Yang Mei thought no more of it; he wasn't very interested in those things to begin with and had only asked to hear polaris's thoughts.
In his eyes, the state of the primordial world was not as interesting as the three Fellow Daoists about to be born in the Great Desolation.
At a certain moment, Wang Chen's expression shifted; the primordial heavens dao had contacted him.
"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, I have matters to attend to. Let us part for now."
"By the way, take these four Vicious Beasts, Fellow Daoist, and find a suitable time to release them into the Great Desolation."
Wang Chen stood up, put away the enlightenment tea tree, and bid farewell to Ancestor Yang Mei.
Before leaving, he handed over Chaos, Taotie, Qiongqi, and Taowu—who had been imprisoned for an unknown amount of time—to Ancestor Yang Mei.
"Is Fellow Daoist polaris afraid the Great Desolation won't be lively enough in the future, that you're putting them in as well?"
Ancestor Yang Mei smiled and took the four Vicious Beasts, showing no intention of refusing; instead, a look of anticipation could be seen in his smile.
"After all, those three Fellow Daoists are all calculating veterans. If we don't add some variables, I'm afraid they won't easily make a move."
"It's only with more variables that things become exciting."
Wang Chen's words were somewhat meaningful; he was clearly looking for entertainment.
Hearing this, Ancestor Yang Mei did not stop him but instead nodded in agreement.
"Fellow Daoist polaris is right. It just so happens that this old Daoist has some free time recently to think carefully about how to add some variables."
Wang Chen smiled and glanced at the Great Desolation below before vanishing.
In the blink of an eye, he crossed endless space-time from the Inner Chaos into the primordial world, and with another step, he arrived at the location guided by the Heavenly Dao.
Waves of cold and eerie aura emanated from the newly opened portal before him.
Upon entering, Wang Chen keenly perceived that this place was filled with the Great Dao Laws of the Dao of Reincarnation.
This Netherworld region had not yet been born; it was currently exceptionally empty and quiet, with no living beings residing within.
"Oh? There's even an unexpected harvest: the book of life and death and the Judge's Pen?"
With Wang Chen's strength at the Creator God Realm, nothing in the Netherworld could escape his detection.
Furthermore, the primordial heavens dao had no intention of hiding anything; everything was laid bare before his eyes.
The Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man all possessed incredible power. The Book of Earth had long since appeared and was currently in the hands of Zhenyuanzi.
The Book of Heaven might be in the Heavenly Court, while the book of life and death and the Judge's Pen before Wang Chen were the Book of Man among the Three Books.
The Book of Man represented a portion of the Netherworld Underworld's authority; every single being of the Human Dao was recorded within it.
It governed the life, death, and Reincarnation of Human Dao beings, forming part of the Netherworld Underworld's Reincarnation order and authority.
To be honest, Wang Chen was quite curious about the book of life and death; exactly what Realm was required to transcend it?
Wang Chen began to refine it initially, and with a thought, he searched for his true name, Great Emperor Ziwei,After putting away the Book of Man, Wang Chen took out the Innate Spirit Treasures he had refined. He would use them to stabilize the Netherworld Underworld first before taking the reincarnation plate.
The reincarnation tree, the Ghost Gate Pass, the Yellow Springs Road, the Naihe Bridge, the Home-Viewing Pavilion, the Ten Yama Palaces, the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the City of the Wrongfully Dead, the Capital of Fengdu, the Sansheng Stone, the Soul-Suppressing Gong, the Nether Bell, the Soul-Hooking Chain, the Mirror of Retribution... Wang Chen took out the Innate Spirit Treasures he had refined one by one. To him, Reincarnation was no longer a novelty.
From the reincarnation tree to the Reincarnation of the Six Realms, many results had been accumulated from the Dragon-Han Calamity to the present.
The reincarnation tree began to bear the burden of Reincarnation for the Canglan Realm during the Dragon-Han Calamity. Later, after it grew, it took on the responsibility for the entire Cangyun Domain's Reincarnation with the help of the Canglan Incarnation.
After countless ages of refinement, untold numbers of living beings had completed their Reincarnation through the reincarnation tree, an act of immeasurable Karma.
The dao patterns within it had long since transformed into a different form. Compared to before, they were infinitely more profound, possessing a sense of being naturally formed by the Dao.
"I believe that under the nurturing of the primordial heavens dao, you will become even better."
The reincarnation tree held a very special place in his heart. Although it was an accidental creation, its role was of no small importance.
The method of Acquired Spirit Wood had provided Wang Chen with significant assistance; it was because of this technique that the creation divine sword had come to him.
After the emergence of the Netherworld Underworld, the Reincarnation of the entire Primordial World would be managed by the Netherworld Underworld. Integrating the reincarnation tree into the Netherworld Underworld was its best final destination.
Most of the ten-plus Innate Spirit Treasures were the infrastructure of the Netherworld Underworld, or rather, treasures to help the Six Paths of Reincarnation operate more smoothly.
In the Primordial World, the Realm of most immortals and gods was extremely high. Ordinary treasures might be useless against those with great Divine Abilities. Therefore, Wang Chen refined Innate Spirit Treasures such as the Sansheng Stone, the Soul-Suppressing Gong, the Nether Bell, the Soul-Hooking Chain, and the Mirror of Retribution.
With the help of these Innate Spirit Treasures, ordinary immortals and gods would not be able to cause any trouble at all.
With so many treasures forming the Netherworld Underworld, even the Heavenly Court likely did not enjoy such treatment.
Wrapped in the power of the Heavenly Dao, the dozen or so treasures merged into various parts of the Netherworld Underworld, with the reincarnation tree receiving the best treatment.
It took root very close to the core of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Wang Chen followed the reincarnation tree to the core of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, where the reincarnation plate was clearly visible.
Reincarnation of life and death, harmonizing Yin and Yang, karmic retribution, bringing the dead back to life... this innate supreme treasure was incredibly powerful. No matter the Realm or strength of an immortal or god, as long as a sliver of their true spirit remained, the reincarnation plate could bring them back to life.
The function of this innate supreme treasure was unique, and its authority within the Primordial World was immense.
The reincarnation plate was once a supreme treasure in the hands of the Reincarnation Fiendgod. After the Reincarnation Fiendgod was slain by Pangu, this treasure fell into the Primordial World and became the Foundation of the Netherworld.
After being renurtured by the Primordial World, the appearance of the reincarnation plate had changed significantly.
The surface of the reincarnation plate was engraved with the diagram of the Six Paths of Reincarnation: the Deva Path, the Asura Path, the Human Path, the Hell Path, the Hungry Ghost Path, and the Animal Path.
With a gentle wave of Wang Chen's hand, the reincarnation plate easily detached from its original spot and fell into his palm.
It seemed the Heavenly Dao had fully prepared before allowing him to take the treasure. With the dozen or so Innate Spirit Treasures present, the reincarnation plate could leave the Netherworld entirely without issue.
"The Law of Reincarnation is dense here; it is a good place to comprehend the Dao. Since there is nothing urgent, I shall stay here to contemplate the Great Dao of the Netherworld."
Wang Chen sat cross-legged on the spot and began to contemplate the reincarnation plate and the Great Dao of the Netherworld... Time flew by like an arrow, and years passed like a shuttle.
Three eonss passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, the Primordial World developed very rapidly.
Relying on its vast territory and abundant resources, the living beings on the Primordial Great Land developed and multiplied quickly.
The more living beings there were, the more soil there was for cities and Imperial Dynasties to survive, and the relevant regions became increasingly prosperous as a result.
On the current Primordial Great Land, the prosperity of some regions was no longer inferior to the Mountain Sea Realm.
In fact, as time passed, there was a trend of gradually overtaking it.
It is worth mentioning that the Northern Emperor placed the five-colored divine soil given to him by the Black Emperor under the heaven-reaching sacred tree.
With the enhancement of several types of divine soil, the heaven-reaching sacred tree grew rapidly, and with its help, the Mountain Sea Realm successfully promoted to an Origin Realm.
Due to development issues, many forces in the Mountain Sea Realm had originally considered moving away.
However, after the Mountain Sea Realm was promoted to an Origin Realm, not only did the world itself grow larger, but the resources nurtured within it also became more abundant.
Consequently, some clans and forces with a Foundation in the Mountain Sea Realm abandoned their plans to move.
The remaining ones were optimistic about the development of the Canglan Origin World and the Primordial Great Land, choosing to go there and take a gamble.
The Canglan Origin World had experienced three eonss of Imperial Dynasty hegemony and had now stabilized for a period. However, this was not the end, but rather the various forces digesting their previous gains.
Ever since the Canglan Realm was promoted to an Origin Realm, it suddenly entered a stage of rapid development, and the Foundation laid down previously erupted quickly.
The Six Arts of Immortal Cultivation advanced further on their previous basis, and many Geniuses of the new generation were unearthed. Their collisions with the older generation led to the research of many good things.
Because the native beings of the Canglan Origin World were weak, the Northern Emperor ordered it to develop steadily for one eons. Only after one eons could external immortals and gods participate.
This was also the reason why the Great War of Imperial Dynasties lasted for three eonss.
By today, two of the original four major forces of the Canglan Realm had disappeared.
The previous four major forces of the Canglan Realm were the Hegemon Blade Sect of the West, the Myriad Beast Kingdom of the South, the Tianyù Imperial Dynasty of the East, and the Wolf Court of the North.
They had ruled the Cangyun Domain for a long time and reached their peak because each of the four forces had someone Attain the Dao as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
Chu Qianren of the Hegemon Blade Sect, Black Mountain Lord of the Myriad Beast Kingdom, Wolf King Xiao Yue of the Northern Wolf Court, and Lu Qiankun and Yun Su of the Tianyù Imperial Dynasty.
Along with Fire Dawn, these were the first few people in the former Cangyun Domain to Attain the Dao as Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
Except for Fire Dawn, they were all members of the four major forces.
During the one eons of internal development, the four major forces rarely campaigned against each other.
They knew there was a pack of hungry wolves outside waiting impatiently to come in and share the feast, so they were all doing their best to develop themselves.
Their previous territories were so minuscule in the face of the successfully promoted Canglan Origin World.
Therefore, for a long time, they spent their days occupying land, collecting resources, and strengthening themselves.
This allowed them to accumulate a profound heritage; even during this one eons, they successively cultivated five more Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
The addition of new strength made them full of confidence to welcome the external forces.
But the determination and strength of the external immortals and gods still exceeded their imagination.
The Hegemon Blade Sect and the Northern Wolf Court, these two soft persimmons, nearly exhausted their heritage in the confrontation with external forces.
If not for certain misgivings, these two forces might have been uprooted entirely.
Helplessly, the Hegemon Blade Sect, which was almost converted, chose to submit to the Tianyù Imperial Dynasty, while the Northern Wolf Court, after suffering a violent beating, joined the Myriad Beast Kingdom.
The immortals and gods who chose to enter the fray far exceeded the imagination of Lu Qiankun and the others in both strength and number.
There were even many Innate Deities involved.
Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, and Xihe of the Sun Star; Changxi of the Taiyin Star; Zhunti and Jieyin from the west of the Primordial World; King Pan, Kunpeng, and Ancestor Ming He from the east of the Primordial World... among them, some Innate Deities truly wanted to participate, while others just wanted to come and see for themselves.
In addition to the Innate Deities, many lesser-known immortals and gods also participated together.
With such a group of immortals and gods entering, the four major forces felt their scalps go numb.
If not for the existence of the Canglan Emperor, the four major forces would have wanted to flee.
Fortunately, the opposing side was not of one mind, and they basically had no Foundation in the Canglan Origin World.
Black Mountain Lord was the first to cooperate, winning over Changxi. Having this ally prevented the Myriad Beast Kingdom from being so passive.
Afterward, other forces followed suit, though some succeeded while others invited wolves into their homes.
In fact, many Innate Deities had set their main stage on the Primordial Great Land, but the Imperial Dynasties in the Canglan Origin World had been developing for a long time, and various systems were relatively complete.
So, the group of Innate Deities intended to come and learn first, so they could use it on the Imperial Dynasties they would establish on the Primordial Great Land in the future, which would save a lot of time.
Since the timing on the Primordial Great Land had not yet arrived, they could only establish cities to gather and expand their forces first, so the Innate Deities focused their primary energy on the Canglan Origin World.
During this period, a dark horse also emerged among the native immortals of the Canglan Origin World, named Xie Zhixuan. He was an immortal with a heart for justice and an incredibly firm inner resolve.
He had walked out of the Small World of Dao-Merging created by Wang Chen, even managing to resist and give up the temptation of merging with the Dao.
After that, Xie Zhixuan's reputation remained obscure as he practiced in silence. It wasn't until the day he Attained the Dao as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal that he completely entered the sight of the various forces.
His obscurity was only relative to the Canglan Origin World as a whole; the immortals from the same world as him all held him in high regard.
With a group of loyal followers by his side, he established the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty step by step.
In the Early Stage, he only occupied a very remote area, gathering a group of homeless people or those who yearned for peace, developing quietly and never engaging in conflict with any force.
Slowly, he managed to make a region that was like a backwater quite prosperous.
As his fame grew, he sensed a crisis, so he personally went to the Myriad Beast Kingdom and the Tianyù Imperial Dynasty to seek help and cooperation. This move gradually allowed the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty to occupy a place in the Canglan Origin World.
Canglan Origin World, South, Great Sun Dynasty.
In a magnificent palace, Dijun was handling the affairs of the Imperial Dynasty. He was studying the various policies of other Imperial Dynasties, hoping to find some suitable ones to apply to the Great Sun Dynasty.
"Dijun, since there won't be any conflicts here in the Canglan Origin World for the time being, shouldn't we also shift our focus back to the Primordial Great Land?"
"I think Kunpeng's method is very good. After occupying territory here, he trains talents and transports resources to his North Sea. Now his influence is already not to be underestimated."
A golden glow from the sun shone into the opulent palace as Xihe's figure stepped out from the light, her body seemingly wrapped in a layer of flowing golden-red mist.
In the Great Sun Dynasty, Dijun now oversaw the Canglan Origin World, while Donghuang Taiyi oversaw the Primordial World. Xihe spent most of her time by Dijun's side. Although they did not address each other as siblings, their relationship was extremely close.
Many ministers privately felt that she would become the Empress.
"Xihe, you've come at the right time. I was just about to discuss this with you. Now that the Great Sun Dynasty has stabilized here, it is time to increase our support for the Primordial World. I have prepared many resources and intend to expand rapidly there next."
"As for that Kunpeng, he is not a concern. He is focused on managing the North Sea; we can easily take over his influence here in the Canglan Origin World."
Xihe smiled and nodded upon hearing this. She knew Dijun already had a complete plan in mind, so she stopped speaking further.
"Then I will go and deliver the resources to Taiyi."
Xihe was about to turn and leave, but Dijun quickly called out to her.
"Don't be in such a hurry. I intend to have Taiyi come here to oversee the Canglan Origin World while I go to the Primordial World to continue expanding our influence. What do you think?"
Xihe thought for a moment.
"It's fine. It doesn't matter who oversees things here in the Canglan Origin World. By the way, have you still not given up on the idea of establishing the Yao Race?"
Xihe's gaze toward Dijun was somewhat strange. The name 'Yao Race' seemed to have become an obsession for Dijun. Even after establishing the vast Great Sun Dynasty, he still couldn't forget those two words.
"Yes, I have that intention, but there's no rush. I'll wait for the Primordial World to fall into chaos. When the various races seek peace, I will raise the great banner of the Yao Race. At that time, it will surely receive a hundred responses to a single call."
Xihe stared at Dijun calmly and without blinking.
Dijun felt a bit guilty under her gaze, and the more he spoke, the less confidence he had.
"Sigh, I really can't figure it out. As an Innate Deity, why must you insist on being some Yao Emperor?"
"The three races only followed the Dao Ancestor to move to the Inner Chaos; they aren't dead."
"Although you and Taiyi have also Attained the Dao to become World Gods, do you know how many World Gods the three races have?"
Xihe's words were not polite at all. Dijun knew full well that what she said was the truth, and he was momentarily speechless.
He also knew Xihe meant well, but he and Donghuang Taiyi seemed destined to be the Yao Emperors, something they could not let go of.
Looking at Xihe's somewhat disappointed eyes, it took a long while before Dijun spoke with a bit of a headache, "I have already had Taiyi put out the name of the Yao Race. Even if we don't raise this banner, others will."
"Most importantly, the concept of the Yao Race has already been recognized by the Heavenly Dao."
Dijun didn't quite dare to look Xihe in the eye and could only pretend to lower his head to handle official business.
"Heh, you really did quite a lot while I was in secluded meditation. Fine, since you won't listen to my advice, then go ahead and do it."
"There's no need to have Taiyi come over. I'll oversee the Great Sun Dynasty here. Just looking at the two of you makes me angry."
Xihe had a special background, so she fared very well in the Mountain Sea Realm. She was very familiar with the deeds of the three races; after all, Dao Ancestor Zi Wei had risen during that era.
Xihe knew very well that the waters of the Primordial World were extremely deep, far beyond what the three of them, as Innate Deities, could stir up.
After a long time, Xihe ultimately couldn't bear it and gave a small warning.
"Sigh, do not create too much slaughter. We don't have a Dao Ancestor to strategize for us, and the Primordial World now is completely different from back then. Don't think that just because others could safely survive a Calamity, you can too."
"I don't want to lose the two of you."
As her words fell, the golden glow in the palace slowly receded, and Xihe disappeared along with that touch of warmth.
A long while later, a sigh echoed from that imperial throne
