Taiyin Imperial Dynasty.
Changxi had already left her elder sister to undergo solitary training for a long time; she was still aloof, but no longer as naive as before.
Coming to the Canglan Origin World and establishing the Taiyin Imperial Dynasty was the final training plan she had set.
The current structure of the Canglan Origin World is that the Ten Thousand Beasts Imperial Dynasty and the Tianyù Imperial Dynasty occupy the Central Great Land and parts of the Eastern Great Land of the Canglan Origin World.
Immortal Gods from outside occupy the remaining regions. The minimum qualification for Immortal Gods to enter is the Great Overarching Emperor Lord Realm, and one Great Overarching figure per Imperial Dynasty is not enough.
For example, Changxi also had a period where Wangshu oversaw things, and only after Changxi achieved a Breakthrough to World God did Wangshu leave. However, everyone knows these two sisters are one entity, so they tacitly assume the Taiyin Imperial Dynasty is overseen by two World Gods.
The Great Sun Dynasty, the Taiyin Imperial Dynasty, and the Seven Treasures Dynasty are currently considered the three strongest Imperial Dynasties in the Canglan Origin World.
Zhunti and Jieyin of the Seven Treasures Dynasty occupy most of the western region of the Canglan Origin World. Both of them cultivate the Immortal Dao and attained the Dao of a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal by relying on a self-created Martial Dao Cultivation Technique.
To a certain extent, their talent is quite good.
However, the Seven Treasures Dynasty differs from the other Imperial Dynasties in the Canglan Origin World. Zhunti and Jieyin established a large number of temples within the dynasty to collect the incense and faith of Mortals.
However, this situation has not lasted long, and the other Imperial Dynasties have yet to figure out the intentions of the Seven Treasures Dynasty... "Demonic Flame Dragon Chicken, Grand Void Ghostly Serpent, are you ready?"
On an open field on Mount Sumeru, Fang Yuan and Fang Qing were each commanding their respective beasts in preparation for battle.
Since obtaining the beast taming ring, the two of them had grown very fond of it, spending all their free time traversing mountains and fields to capture Yao Beasts.
Once their beasts were sufficiently trained, the two would arrange to meet in an open area to begin their beast fights.
This was one of the few pleasures the two boys had on Mount Sumeru.
The one fighting on Fang Qing's side was the Demonic Flame Dragon Chicken. This Yao Beast's original name was Flame Dragon Chicken, and it possessed a trace of the Dragon Clan Bloodline.
It was one of the beasts Fang Qing acquired early on. Its intrinsic combat power was not strong, but after Fang Qing meticulously nurtured it and bestowed upon it a Demonic Path Cultivation Technique, its combat power soared, making it Fang Qing's proud creation.
In order to showcase the power and uniqueness of his beast.
Fang Qing thought for a long time and finally settled on the name Demonic Flame Dragon Chicken.
The situation with the Grand Void Ghostly Serpent was similar to that of the Demonic Flame Dragon Chicken, except that this black snake was originally cultivating a Demonic Path Cultivation Technique.
It was just that later, Fang Yuan disliked its low-level Cultivation Technique. Since Fang Qing's beast had achieved good results after changing its Cultivation Technique, he also found a Demonic Path Cultivation Technique for the black snake and gave it a name that sounded extremely powerful.
From then on, the fate of these two Yao Beasts underwent earth-shattering changes.
There was a reason why the two boys chose Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques. In order to research the method to Attain the Dao, the Black Emperor created many Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques. Most of them were not worth his attention, but outside, they were precious Cultivation Techniques worth fighting over.
During these three eonss, the Black Emperor first used the Martial Dao to Attain the Dao of a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal, and subsequently used his self-created Great Law of Seven Emotions and Six Desires to Attain the Dao of a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal, effectively making him a dual Hun Yuan Golden Immortal of both the Demonic and Martial Paths.
The Black Emperor did not preach the Dao when he used the Martial Dao to Attain the Dao of a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal, but only announced his sermon after he had Attained the Dao of a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal using his self-created Cultivation Technique.
On the day of the sermon, the sentient beings who came to listen were astonished upon learning that he had Attained the Dao of a dual Hun Yuan Golden Immortal, leaving a deep impression on the Immortal Gods present.
"Since Dao Ancestor Zi Wei Attained the Dao, peak mighty figures in the Great Desolation have been continuously emerging like bamboo shoots after the rain."
This was a heartfelt sigh from an Immortal God who had come to listen to the Dao. First, there were Dao Ancestor Zi Wei's five disciples, then the Black Emperor, followed by figures like Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, Jieyin, Zhunti, the Queen Mother of the West, Zhenyuanzi... During these three eonss, many Immortal Gods spent their time listening to sermons, and upon returning, they would hear about various major events happening in the Great Desolation.
For instance, which Imperial Dynasty had risen, which city had changed its City Lord, where a new city had been established, and so on.
The Immortal Gods of the Great Desolation felt a sense of urgency for the first time, as various events occurred one after another, keeping them constantly busy.
A humorous incident also occurred during the Black Emperor's sermon: Jieyin and Zhunti, for reasons unknown, actually wanted to take the Black Emperor as their Master, but the Black Emperor did not agree.
However, the two of them seemed determined to seek apprenticeship, constantly finding excuses to show concern and offer greetings, completely disregarding their own dignity. This became a widely discussed topic in the Great Desolation.
Many Immortal Gods did not understand the intentions of these two. Although the Black Emperor had Attained the Dao of a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal earlier than them, and was a dual Attainer of the Demonic Path and Martial Dao, it still shouldn't warrant such persistent efforts to become his disciple.
"Demonic Flame Dragon Chicken, don't be afraid! It can't stay hidden in the Void Realm for long. Transform this battlefield into a Demonic Flame Hell!"
"Grand Void Ghostly Serpent, don't rush! Wait for it to exhaust its strength and then deliver the fatal blow."
Just as Fang Qing and Fang Yuan were commanding their beasts in the heat of battle, Jieyin and Zhunti once again arrived at Mount Sumeru.
Jieyin walked barefoot ahead. He was six feet tall, with a yellow complexion and his hair tied into a topknot. He was constantly accompanied by an extraordinary, transcendent aura and auspicious light.
Zhunti lagged slightly behind Jieyin. He had two topknots, a yellow, thin face, and often wore two flowers on his hair buns, holding the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his hand.
The two boys were very familiar with these two auras. Seeing that it was them, Fang Qing and Fang Yuan exchanged a look and sighed.
They reluctantly put away their respective beasts, forcing a small smile onto their tense young faces.
"You two Seniors are truly persistent. I will go and inform Master now."
Fang Qing wrinkled his little nose and said, looking at Zhunti and Jieyin.
Zhunti's face beamed with an enthusiastic smile. After approaching, he covered the distance in quick strides to stand before the two boys.
"I apologize for troubling you two. This is a rare Great Desolation species I discovered by chance. Knowing you two boys would like them, I specifically captured them to give to you."
Immediately afterward, Zhunti swept his Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, and two figures appeared before Fang Qing and Fang Yuan.
"It's a Gu Sculpture and a Kaiming Beast."
Fang Qing exclaimed in surprise. Because they tamed beasts, they had studied various related knowledge and naturally recognized these two distinctive exotic beasts before them.
The Gu Sculpture looked like a vulture but had goat horns. Its cry resembled a baby's wail, and its wingspan was ten meters. Its feathers were like immortal gold and divine iron, capable of splitting mountains and cracking stones.
Its Divine Ability could refine the world's evil thoughts, condensing them into "Gu Pearls." If a Cultivator obtained one, their mind would become clear and untroubled by external distractions.
The Kaiming Beast resembled a tiger but had nine heads, each with a pair of vertical pupils, capable of seeing through illusions, discerning evil spirits, and reading heavenly secrets.
Its fur was like black jade covered in golden patterns, and its roar could shatter the mind. It was a famous Guardian God in the Great Desolation, loyal to its Master, and its nine heads could attack simultaneously with powerful combat strength.
The two boys' eyes lit up; they clearly adored these two exotic beasts.
Fang Yuan was the first to snap out of it. He quietly tugged on Fang Qing's sleeve and subtly shook his head.
However, such minor movements were perfectly clear in the eyes of a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal. Seeing this scene, Jieyin couldn't help but show a look of appreciation.
"Senior Zhunti, this gift is too valuable; we cannot accept it."
"Please wait a moment, Seniors. I will go and ask the Black Emperor for instructions now."
Fang Yuan politely declined Zhunti's kind offer. Following Master's teachings—that unsolicited generosity from outsiders often hides malicious intent—they dared not accept these two precious exotic beasts.
After being reminded by Fang Yuan, Fang Qing stopped looking at the two exotic beasts. His young face was tense, and he kept his gaze straight ahead, no longer looking at the Gu Sculpture and Kaiming Beast.
Inside the Cave Heaven of Mount Sumeru, the Black Emperor saw all of this and nodded in satisfaction.
Although the two boys were a bit playful usually, they still remembered his teachings, and their daily duties were also completed perfectly.
Outside the Cave Heaven, Zhunti saw Fang Yuan go to ask for instructions, while Fang Qing maintained a businesslike demeanor. He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Jieyin.
To be honest, Zhunti had expended a great deal of effort to capture these two exotic beasts.
The Gu Sculpture and Kaiming Beast were indeed rare, and even Zhunti himself was quite tempted.
Jieyin and Zhunti had been together since their birth, so Jieyin understood the meaning in Zhunti's gaze instantly.
"There is no reason to take back a gift once it has been given. Don't forget why we came here today."
Jieyin used Divine Thought transmission to remind Zhunti. If he took back the two exotic beasts now, he would surely leave a bad impression on the Black Emperor, and the chance of taking him as a Master would become even slimmer.
Thus, Zhunti also imitated Fang Qing, keeping his eyes straight ahead and avoiding looking at the two exotic beasts.
The scene instantly quieted down, leaving only the two exotic beasts standing rooted to the spot, not daring to move.
They were both intelligent; they knew they could not afford to offend either of these two parties right now.
Before long, Fang Yuan walked out of the Cave Heaven. He extended his hand and invited them in.
"Seniors, please come in. Master has agreed to see you."
Jieyin and Zhunti were overjoyed upon hearing this. Previously, whenever they came to Mount Sumeru, they were sent away with various excuses. The fact that he was willing to see them this time meant that this matter was about to reach a conclusion.
Success or failure hinged on this one action.
Led by the two boys, Jieyin and Zhunti finally met the Black Emperor.
As soon as they entered the palace, the two felt an aura as vast as the deep sea. This aura was even more profound and unfathomable than when he had preached the Dao.
"Jieyin (Zhunti) greets the Black Emperor."
The two respectfully bowed to the Black Emperor, acting just as they would when greeting a Senior, with every movement strictly proper.
Hearing this, the Black Emperor opened his eyes as if he had just noticed their arrival. A stream of purplish-black divine light pierced the Void Realm, heading toward Jieyin and Zhunti.
Surprisingly, the two made no movement, remaining completely still in their bowing posture.
The purplish-black divine light dissipated in the air. The Black Emperor secretly felt bored and said, "Rise. What is the purpose of your visit?"
Only then did Jieyin rise, placing himself in the position of a junior with every action.
"Replying to Senior Black Emperor, we sincerely wish to take you as our Master. We implore Senior Black Emperor to accept us as disciples."
As he spoke, Jieyin immediately knelt down, followed closely by Zhunti without the slightest hesitation.
"Senior Black Emperor is merciful. Please accept my elder brother and me."
The Black Emperor fell silent upon hearing this. If these two Innate Deities were Grand Unity Golden Immortals, he would have accepted them given their sincerity.
However, Jieyin and Zhunti were both Hun Yuan Golden Immortals, residing in the same major Realm as him.
To be so persistent in seeking him as a Master under these circumstances naturally made him suspect that the two of them might have ulterior motives.
The only identity he possessed that would warrant these two seeking apprenticeship was that he was the Incarnation of Dao Ancestor Zi Wei.
He wanted to see what reasons Jieyin and Zhunti could offer, so the Black Emperor directly voiced the doubts in his heart.
"I observe that both of you have reached the Realm and power of a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal, placing you in the same major Realm as this Emperor. Why are you so persistent in seeking me as your Master?"
Jieyin knew immediately upon hearing this that the most crucial question had arrived. If their answer was slightly incorrect, their hope of becoming disciples would likely vanish.
"Zhunti, is it? You speak first."
The Black Emperor had observed the two of them and clearly saw that Jieyin was the dominant one, so he specifically named Zhunti to speak first.
Regardless of whether they had prepared their speech beforehand, the Black Emperor would be able to detect any clues if there were falsehoods in their words.
Jieyin had just prepared to speak, but upon hearing the command, he immediately swallowed the words he had ready.
Zhunti was startled. He hadn't expected the Black Emperor to call him out specifically, but he recalled his elder brother's instructions upon arrival.
"Just answer truthfully; do not deceive or fabricate."
Zhunti calmed his mind and let out a soft breath, saying, "Replying to Senior Black Emperor, my brother and I have been in the West since we first gained sentience."
"We personally witnessed the cruelty and slaughter of the Demon Race, and we deeply felt the actions of Demon Ancestor Luohu."
"For the West to achieve its current prosperity, Dao Ancestor Zi Wei's contributions are immense."
"To Attain the Dao, Luohu resorted to all means necessary. The methods he left behind in the earth veins caused us, who had not yet been born at that time, to feel profound fear."
"It was Dao Ancestor Zi Wei who led the Three Clans and the Starry Sky Immortal Gods to save the West, saving both my elder brother and me."
"Furthermore, we personally witnessed Senior Black Emperor eradicating the Demon Race. From that time on, your magnificent figure has been etched into my memory."
After finishing the string of words, Zhunti cautiously glanced at the Black Emperor. Seeing that the expression on his face hadn't changed much, only a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, he felt a little relieved.
But his spirits quickly sank again. Although the Black Emperor's expression had changed slightly, he showed no intention of speaking, as if saying, 'Continue, I am listening.'
Seeing this, Zhunti felt a pang of bitterness and could only continue, "The reasons mentioned above are the main ones, but my brother and I also have a small selfish motive."
"Innate Deities are already scarce in the West. My brother and I were isolated and helpless outside, often looked down upon, so we were determined to strengthen the West."
"The journey has been very difficult. My brother and I have experienced the hardship of having no Dao Lineage to rely on."
"Most Legacies in the Great Desolation come from the Divine Dao, and there are very few fellow practitioners of the Immortal Dao that we cultivate."
"There are many unclear points in our cultivation, and few Seniors can provide answers, forcing us to explore on our own."
As he spoke, Zhunti secretly glanced at the Black Emperor again, as if unsure whether he should continue speaking.
Subconsciously, he wanted to look at his elder brother beside him, but at this moment, the Black Emperor spoke, his tone carrying an irrefutable meaning: "Continue."
Zhunti's body trembled upon hearing this, knowing well that the following words would determine his and his elder brother's fate.
Instantly, he recalled his elder brother's words from earlier. Steeling his heart, he began: "My elder brother possesses outstanding natural talent and astonishing Comprehension Ability, having realized another Dao path from within the Immortal Dao."
"However, the road ahead is arduous. My brother and I have been groping along, hitting walls everywhere and failing to grasp the essentials. Therefore, we wish to find a Master to guide us."
After Zhunti finished speaking, he felt parched and intensely nervous. He dared not look at the Black Emperor, nor his elder brother, and simply stood still, awaiting the judgment of fate.
"These two little fellows are really interesting. I thought they would take the Northern Emperor or the Canglan Incarnation as their Master, but I didn't expect them to choose you in the end."
Wang Chen's words echoed in the Black Emperor's mind; everything here was being watched by him.
"I am also very surprised. Logically speaking, since I practice the Demonic Path, they shouldn't have asked to be my Disciples. I didn't expect them to refuse to give up even after being rejected once."
"What do you think? Should you reject them once more?"
For a moment, the Black Emperor was somewhat undecided, so he asked in his heart.
"The path they mentioned should be the Buddhist Path, cutting off the 'three poisons' of greed, anger, and ignorance, emphasizing 'Heart Liberation,' attaining the 'Emptiness of all phenomena,' and eventually becoming a Buddha or a Bodhisattva."
"This path is different from the Immortal Dao. The Buddhist Path focuses on cultivating the heart, with Precepts, Meditation, and Wisdom as the foundation. Cultivation depends on Karma, Power Of Will, and wisdom, emphasizing Reincarnation, Karma, and Karma, breaking attachments to realize emptiness, and compassionately saving the world."
"It can be considered a path to heaven. The more prosperous the Human Dao, the more the Buddhist Path flourishes."
The Black Emperor fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.
"No matter how I think about it, wouldn't it be more suitable to take the Canglan Incarnation as their Master? The Demonic Path has always been about seizing the creation of heaven and earth and encroaching upon the mysteries of the sun and moon. In terms of Heart-Nature, it emphasizes being free and self-centered, without being bound."
"The Demonic Path itself can be seen as a link in the tribulations of all living beings, which is the complete opposite of this Buddhist Path."
"How am I supposed to teach them?"
With such excellent Innate Deities, it wasn't that the Black Emperor didn't want to accept them as Disciples, but rather that the other party was too outstanding, and he feared he would lead them astray. This was why he had been reluctant to agree.
The communication between Wang Chen and the Black Emperor was completed almost in a single thought. Although the time was short, Jieyin and Zhunti were still very nervous.
Finally, the two, with hearts full of apprehension, heard the Black Emperor's words.
"I have already understood the path you have realized. The Demonic Path and the Buddhist Path are completely opposite."
Hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti's faces instantly turned pale, and their hearts sank. For the Black Emperor to say this meant he was rejecting them again.
Moreover, since he even knew the path they had realized, the gaze of Dao Ancestor Zi Wei must also be watching this place. In that case, they truly wouldn't have even a sliver of a chance left.
"But seeing that you two are sincere and determined, I shall accept you as Named Disciples. I will teach you, but you two must not call yourselves my Disciples when you are outside."
Jieyin and Zhunti's moods could be described as having ups and downs; they were satisfied even with being Named Disciples.
Without the slightest hesitation, the two immediately knelt on the ground and performed a formal bow.
"Jieyin (Zhunti) pays respects to Master."
Sincere and clear smiles appeared on their faces.
"Rise. I haven't finished speaking yet."
The Black Emperor smiled as he helped the two up, while taking out a jade plaque in his hand.
"The fact that you two could realize a path to heaven from the Immortal Dao shows that your Comprehension Ability and talent are of the highest caliber."
"I fear that my teaching alone might delay your cultivation. You may take my token and head to the Canglan Origin World to pay respects to Emperor Canglan. If you are fated, you two may also officially join Emperor Canglan's sect."
The purple jade plaque in the Black Emperor's hand fell into Jieyin's hands.
Jieyin received it respectfully with both hands. Although his Heart-Nature had undergone a thousand refinements, today's joy still made him overjoyed.
"Thank you, Master. Your great kindness will be remembered by your Disciples forever."
Jieyin felt that no words could express their current feelings, so he bowed deeply once again.
Beside him, Zhunti followed suit, the smile on his face even more radiant than Jieyin's.
"This Reincarnation Sutra records the method of Attaining the Dao through the seven emotions and six desires, and the method of Attaining the Dao through Reincarnation martial arts. Take it and comprehend it."
Jieyin and Zhunti received the Reincarnation Sutra as if it were a priceless treasure. Currently, Reincarnation has not manifested in the Primordial World, making it very difficult to comprehend Reincarnation. Immortals and gods who have realized the Reincarnation Great Dao Laws are even rarer than phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Since this Reincarnation Sutra could lead one to cultivate to the Hun Yuan Golden Immortal level of martial arts, the Reincarnation Great Dao contained within it would certainly not be little.
No matter from which angle one looked at it, the value of this Reincarnation Sutra was immeasurable.
Two methods to Attain the Dao as a Hun Yuan Golden Immortal could themselves serve as a foundation.
Once their Realm and strength were high enough in the future, they could fully comprehend the true meaning within and then use the Buddhist Path to explain these two methods of Attaining the Dao.
Whether it be the seven emotions and six desires or Reincarnation, both were compatible with the Buddhist Path and would be of significant help to their comprehension of the Buddhist Path.
The two of them had already known this since the time their Master preached the Dao, which was also one of the reasons they had the idea of becoming his Disciples.
Having accepted these two as Named Disciples, the Black Emperor naturally had to answer their questions and resolve their doubts.
The Black Emperor had been prepared for this, having obtained scriptures and classics of the Immortal Dao and Buddhist Path from Wang Chen in advance.
With his Hun Yuan Golden Immortal Realm and cultivation, he could experience ten thousand years in an instant, reading through these scriptures and classics in his Sea of Consciousness in a short time.
It was certainly impossible to deeply comprehend these Great Daos, but answering some simple questions was not difficult.
After a session of teaching, the smiles on Jieyin and Zhunti's faces never stopped, and they repeatedly praised their Master for his vast knowledge and talent.
The two of them did not hold back either, recounting the Buddhist Path they had realized in its entirety.
They asked very few questions about the Immortal Dao; most of their doubts were about the Buddhist Path they had comprehended themselves.
As question after question was asked, the Black Emperor could see that they had indeed hit many walls and encountered a great many problems.
From their descriptions, it could be seen that the Buddhist Path was still very immature.
Its level of Perfection was far inferior to the Great Dao recorded in the scriptures and classics left by Dao Ancestor Zi Wei.
However, the two of them had already realized the general framework and understood which direction their subsequent path should take.
Although the subsequent path would be full of difficulties, they only needed to continuously perfect it.
Facing Jieyin and Zhunti's doubts, the Black Emperor sometimes pointed out a direction for the two, letting them comprehend it on their own.
Other times, he would break through the mist for them and point out a clear path.
In just a short thousand years, Jieyin's comprehension and understanding of the Buddhist Path could be described as changing with each passing day.
His understanding of the Buddhist Dharma was such that he could grasp it instantly and even continuously expand and extend upon the original foundation.
Zhunti was slightly inferior to Jieyin, but he was also very talented in the Buddhist Path.
It was as if the two of them were born to practice the Buddhist Path; the speed of their progress surprised even the Black Emperor.
"Alright, this session of answering questions ends here. You two go back and digest it well. If you have any more doubts in the future, you can come and find your Master."
While the Black Emperor was comprehending those Buddhist scriptures and classics, he was also answering questions for Jieyin and Zhunti. Now that the simpler problems had been mostly resolved, the subsequent questions would definitely be deeper. To maintain his dignity as a Master, the Black Emperor decided to send them away.
Although Jieyin still wanted more, the gains this time were indeed very large, and he really needed to go back and digest them.
With a thousand years of answering questions, if he and his Junior Brother were to comprehend the gains on their own, an eons might not even be enough.
"Thank you for your teachings, Master."
Jieyin and Zhunti bowed respectfully, then left the Xumi Cave Heaven under the guidance of the two boys, Fang Qing and Fang Yuan.
As Zhunti left the Xumi Cave Heaven and saw the Gu Sculpture and Kaiming Beast still trapped in place, he felt as if a lifetime had passed.
This trip was very successful; they successfully became Disciples, and the doubts they had accumulated over endless years were answered.
It could be said to be a full harvest.
Zhunti turned to look at the two boys and said with a smile, "Two Junior Brothers, are you willing to accept your Senior Brother's gifts now?"
Fang Qing and Fang Yuan's small faces were tense, but the corners of their mouths, which kept curling up, could not be hidden no matter what.
Fang Qing's watery big eyes met Zhunti's gaze. Seeing that the words of this Senior Brother Zhunti, whom their Master had just accepted, did not seem fake, he finally couldn't resist the temptation of the exotic beasts.
"Thank you for the gifts, Senior Brothers."
Fang Qing and Fang Yuan set aside their previous prejudices. Calling them "Senior Brother" one after another made Jieyin and Zhunti quite pleased.
So, with the help of the two, the two boys finally each used a beast taming ring to subdue an exotic beast.
Fang Yuan subdued the Gu Sculpture, and Fang Qing subdued the Kaiming Beast.
Now, the mindsets of the four were vastly different.
Having successfully become a Disciple, Zhunti no longer felt distressed about these two exotic beasts; instead, he felt that this Beast Taming Arts was quite interesting.
"This beast taming ring was refined by Senior Brother Iron Fiend; it is quite novel."
"Yes, it's a gift from Senior Brother Iron Fiend. Besides this, there are two Immortal Artifacts that can sign contracts with the tamed beasts and allow them to feed back cultivation."
Fang Qing's Heart-Nature was relatively pure, and he had no defenses against his two Senior Brothers, directly revealing his trump cards.
This time, not only did Zhunti become interested in the Beast Taming Arts, but even Jieyin began to seriously study it.
Listening to Fang Qing's words, Fang Yuan felt as if the sky had fallen. Although the other party was their Master's Disciple, they couldn't be without any defenses at all.
However, Fang Yuan also knew Fang Qing's character; he was the type who would be willing to give his heart and soul to anyone who was good to him.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This Beast Taming Arts was their foundation, and under their research, it could be considered a path with a bright future.
Those top-tier immortals and gods might look down on it, but the Beast Taming Arts was a way out for those immortals and gods with poor backgrounds and mediocre Aptitude.
"Senior Brothers, this Beast Taming Arts is our foundation, and we have poured a lot of heart and soul into it. Please do not spread it for the time being."
Fang Yuan clearly considered more. If this method of beast taming were spread, it would surely earn a lot of Karma, which would be a significant Opportunity for the two boys.
He was very at ease with Senior Brother Iron Fiend's character; this Beast Taming Arts was even planned for them by Senior Brother Iron Fiend. But these two in front of him... when their Master was preaching to Senior Brothers Jieyin and Zhunti, they were also present, and that Buddhist Path looked like a grand Righteous Path.
But these two Senior Brothers in front of him were actually coaxing information out of Fang Qing, which truly made Fang Yuan wary.
Seeing the joy on Fang Yuan's face disappear, replaced by a serious expression, Zhunti knew that his actions just now had caused dissatisfaction in this boy.
"Junior Brother Fang Yuan, rest assured, I will not seize this Karma, and we will never spread this Beast Taming Arts to outsiders."
Jieyin immediately understood the true meaning upon hearing this, so he spoke up to guarantee.
"This Beast Taming Arts is quite interesting. I was curious, so I couldn't help but explore its mysteries."
"This was my fault. How about this, next time I come, I will prepare another gift for each of you."
Zhunti knew he had been a bit reckless, but his heart was like glass, and he certainly had no ill intentions.
"Phew, I misunderstood you two Senior Brothers. Sorry. Let this bottle of netherworld true water be an apology."
Fang Yuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then a smile reappeared on his face as he sincerely brought out a bottle of netherworld true water.
Zhunti's eyes lit up at this, but he did not accept it immediately.
"It was my mistake first; Junior Brother Fang Yuan doesn't need to apologize. How about this, I have liuli pure water here; shall I exchange it with you?"
Saying this, Zhunti took out a glass bottle. The liuli pure water and the glass bottle complemented each other, with bursts of glass-colored divine light illuminating the surroundings.
"Although this liuli pure water is not Innate divine water, its effects are also quite extraordinary, such as purifying the mind, eliminating Karmic Obstruction, calming the spirit, and enhancing wisdom."
"Although it cannot compare to Junior Brother's netherworld true water, it also aids in cultivation and is a rare treasure."
Fang Yuan agreed without the slightest hesitation.
"Then thank you for your kindness, Senior Brothers."
Fang Yuan handed the netherworld true water to Zhunti and took the glass bottle.
"Senior Brother Zhunti, this is too much."
Fang Yuan subconsciously glanced at the liuli pure water in the bottle. To be honest, this holy water was truly too magnificent, making one unable to resist looking at it a few more times.
But only when Fang Yuan's Divine Sense probed into it did he discover that there was another world inside the glass bottle, and the liuli pure water inside was much more than what it looked like from the outside.
"Haha, the extra amount is my apology."
Without giving the two boys time to react, Jieyin and Zhunti flew away on a cloud.
"Master's two Dao boys have really good personalities."
"Junior Brother Fang Qing is pure-hearted, kind, and straightforward. He treats people sincerely and repays kindness; he is truly lovable."
"Junior Brother Fang Yuan first made things clear, then retreated to advance by apologizing to us. He expressed his own attitude while not wanting to offend us. He is clever and has an exquisite mind."
"Seeing them makes me want to enlighten two Dao boys myself."
"By the way, Senior Brother, I think that method of beast taming is truly good. In the future, we can exchange for it to pass on to our Disciples."
On the auspicious cloud, Zhunti looked at Jieyin with a smile and said.
Jieyin did not answer directly but closed his eyes in deep thought for a moment before shaking his head.
"The Beast Taming Arts ultimately relies on external objects; it cannot be considered a Great Dao. It's inappropriate, inappropriate."
"If Disciples with low Realms all rely on these external objects, how can they refine a Buddhist heart?"
Zhunti's expression became serious upon hearing this.
"Senior Brother is right. I have learned my lesson."
After that, Zhunti never mentioned the Beast Taming Arts again.
The two returned to Spirit Mountain and began closed-door cultivation to comprehend what they had gained this time.
This Spirit Mountain was also quite extraordinary, being considered the second-best grotto-heaven and blessed land in the West.
Since the western ley lines were not detonated by Luo Hou and remained intact, Spirit Mountain was also undamaged.
To a Mortal's eye, this mountain appeared beautiful and elegant.
To an immortal's or god's eye, this grotto-heaven and blessed land was filled with Spiritual Qi and extraordinary Dao rhyme.
It truly could be described as:
Rising a hundred feet into the sky, towering into the clouds. Bowing one's head to watch the sunset, reaching out to pluck the flying stars.
Flowers are beautiful when spring comes, pines are green after the rain. Purple Ganoderma and immortal fruits are elegant year after year, the red phoenix dances with a thousand spiritual feelings.
The second-best grotto-heaven and blessed land in the West truly lives up to its reputation.
Inner Chaos.
The innate supreme treasures Wang Chen prepared for the Vermilion Bird and the Fox Ancestor were finally fully nurtured; nurturing innate supreme treasures was much more difficult than he had imagined.
A single Dao Realm was completely insufficient to nurture an innate supreme treasure; he subsequently opened several more Dao Realms and fused them into it before he could successfully nurture the innate supreme treasures.
To hasten the birth of these two innate supreme treasures, Wang Chen also infused a significant amount of mysterious yellow mother qi into them; otherwise, there was no telling how long it would have taken for them to be nurtured and born.
Since it was a success, then everything was worth it.
The world-burning purple gold furnace and the limitless umbrella were the names of these two innate supreme treasures.
The world-burning purple gold furnace had three legs and two handles, its entire body a purple-gold color. Its lid featured profound hollowed-out patterns, with various divine fires burning wildly within, the flames flickering through the patterns to form colorful divine flares above.
As an innate supreme treasure that had witnessed the birth and destruction of worlds, the world-burning purple gold furnace symbolized fire, creation, and destruction.
It could ignite flames that gave new life to all things, and it could also rain down heavenly fire to incinerate worlds.
This innate supreme treasure was prepared for the Vermilion Bird, while the limitless umbrella was prepared for the Fox Ancestor.
The limitless umbrella symbolized "Limitless."
When opened, the umbrella became an unparalleled defensive innate supreme treasure, obscuring heavenly secrets, warding off all evils, and being impervious to all techniques, possessing the power to pacify earth, water, fire, and wind.
When closed, its interior formed a chaotic world of its own, capable of capturing enemies at its smallest and containing the might of the universe at its largest.
Both innate supreme treasures were exceptionally powerful, a fact that Wang Chen was very satisfied with.
"It's time for the Vermilion Bird and the Fox Ancestor to come and collect their treasures."
With a wave of his hand, Wang Chen sent two divine talismans piercing through the infinite Chaos, descending directly upon the Mountain Sea Realm.
In the span of three eonss, all of his Disciples had become World Gods.
The opportunities he had previously promised were also fulfilled, as Wang Chen bestowed most of the Innate Spirit Treasures in his possession upon his Disciples.
The Innate Spirit Treasures obtained by the White Tiger included the four swords of zhu xian and the wuji apricot yellow banner... The Innate Spirit Treasures obtained by the Vermilion Bird included the earth separation flame light banner and the god slaying spear... The Innate Spirit Treasures obtained by the Black Tortoise Ancestor included the grandmist measuring heaven ruler and the xuan yuan water control banner... The Innate Spirit Treasures obtained by the Fox Ancestor included the world-purifying white lotus, the yin yang mirror, and the qiankun ruler... The Innate Spirit Treasures obtained by Laozi included the taiji diagram, the green lotus precious color flag, and the eight visions palace lantern... The Innate Spirit Treasures obtained by Yuanshi included the pangu banner, the myriad heavens celebration cloud, and the jade void glazed lantern... The Innate Spirit Treasures obtained by Tongtian included the green lotus of creation, the five elements sword, the primordial golden dipper, and the purple electric hammer... The Innate Spirit Treasures obtained by Nuwa included the qiankun cauldron, the lotus lantern, the red hydrangea, and the mountain and river state map... The Innate Spirit Treasures obtained by Houtu included the reincarnation plate and the golden lotus of merit... Wang Chen had prepared one innate supreme treasure plus one supreme-grade innate spirit treasure for each of his nine Disciples.
As for the remaining lower-grade Innate Spirit Treasures, he allowed them to divide them amongst themselves.
At that time, the innate supreme treasures for the Vermilion Bird and the Fox Ancestor were still being nurtured.
Wang Chen took several of his Disciples to observe the nurturing process of the innate supreme treasures, and then sent them back to their respective ashrams.
They had been cultivating within the Divine Realm ever since the sermon began, and by now, it had been a long time since they had returned to their own ashrams.
The Disciples also had their own affairs to attend to, and their future paths were for them to walk on their own.
He had already passed down the method for Attaining the Dao as a Creator God; whether his Disciples followed this path or used it as a reference to comprehend their own methods of Attaining the Dao, Wang Chen approved of both.
When he was teaching the Creator God method, he had already discussed this matter with his Disciples.
If they could comprehend a path more suited to themselves, it would certainly be a great thing; even if they failed, they had him, their Master, to back them up.
Not long after the divine talismans left, two excited voices came from nearby.
"Master, is my innate supreme treasure finished being nurtured?"
The Vermilion Bird looked very happy and asked impatiently after performing her salutations.
Hearing this, Wang Chen smiled and pointed; immediately, the Vermilion Bird's eyes were drawn to the world-burning purple gold furnace floating within a world of flames.
"Master, Master, what about mine?"
The Fox Ancestor arrived a bit later and saw that the Vermilion Bird was already playing with her innate supreme treasure, unable to put it down.
She was also full of anticipation; what exactly would the innate supreme treasure Master prepared for her look like?
"Over there, the limitless umbrella has automatically hidden itself, but you should have some perception of it."
The Fox Ancestor looked in the direction her Master pointed, but saw only a patch of Chaos, completely failing to sense any treasure existing there.
However, since it was Master who said so, it certainly couldn't be wrong. The Fox Ancestor released her own Dao Rhyme and then sensed carefully, finally discovering a faint response.
But that response felt as if it were separated by endless space-time, ethereal and elusive, making it hard to grasp.
The Fox Ancestor did not rush; instead, she gradually established a connection with the limitless umbrella, slowly feeling out its location, and finally found it after spending a considerable amount of time.
The moment she saw the limitless umbrella, the Fox Ancestor was extremely happy; this innate supreme treasure suited her desires perfectly.
When the limitless umbrella was closed, its physical form existed between reality and illusion, surrounded by chaotic qi.
When the limitless umbrella was opened, it seemed as if Yin and Yang were evolving, with various profound images of worlds being born and destroyed surfacing.
It was so difficult to find just now when the divine object was concealing its brilliance; if she refined it, how powerful would this innate supreme treasure's ability to obscure heavenly secrets be?
After the two of them had initially refined their respective innate supreme treasures, they brought the treasures to Wang Chen's side.
"Looking at the two of you, it seems you really like these two treasures."
Wang Chen was also very satisfied seeing this; wasn't everything he did for the sake of seeing this scene?
"Thank you, Master. I really like the world-burning purple gold furnace; it aligns perfectly with my Great Dao. From now on, it will be my most precious treasure, and I will take good care of it."
The Vermilion Bird held the world-burning purple gold furnace in her hands, stroking it from time to time, the affection in her eyes impossible to hide.
"Thank you, Master, for your hard work in nurturing these two treasures for us. I will definitely cultivate diligently upon my return and will not fail Master's expectations."
The Fox Ancestor held the limitless umbrella tightly in her arms, showing none of the demeanor of a World God.
She looked just like a young girl from the mortal realm clutching her most precious possession.
"Good, as long as you like them. Go back and refine them well; I believe comprehending the Innate Restrictions within will also allow you to take another step forward."
"Hehe, by the time we meet again, we will definitely have broken through to the Middle Stage of the World God realm, and then we'll give Master a surprise."
"Dummy, you've already said it out loud, how can it be a surprise for Master?"
Whether it was because she was by her Master's side or because she was simply too excited, the Vermilion Bird looked a bit dazed.
The two Disciples began to frolic like children.
Wang Chen did not stop them upon seeing this; in fact, he preferred this way of interacting, as it also demonstrated the closeness his Disciples felt toward him.
After chatting briefly about interesting events in the Primordial World, Wang Chen sent the Vermilion Bird and the Fox Ancestor back to their respective ashrams.
At this point, Wang Chen finally had some free time. Everything in the Primordial World was now on the right track, and there was no need to worry about his Disciples for the time being.
Next, Wang Chen planned to go to the Great Wilderness to check on the nurturing status of his three Fellow Daoists, and while he was at it, catch up with Ancestor Yang Mei and exchange for some mysterious yellow mother qi to replenish his supplies.
With each step, a Great Dao of purple qi appeared within the Chaos; Wang Chen observed the worlds he had opened along the way as he walked.
Most of these Origin Realms already had living beings born within them, and a few specific Origin Realms had been discovered and occupied by the three clans.
After the three clans had nearly finished exploring their own worlds, they organized their clansmen to begin exploring the Inner Chaos.
Having been suppressed in the starry sky for so long and now possessing divine ark, the three clans naturally developed the desire to explore the Inner Chaos.
Many of the clansmen themselves were the type who couldn't sit still, and they also wanted to know the current situation of the Inner Chaos.
Thus, the three clans once again began exploring the Inner Chaos in unison.
Due to his previous promise, the three clans explored in all directions except for the Divine Realm, which they did not dare to enter.
One had to say their luck was quite good; they actually managed to occupy some worlds, and it was believed that before long, they would also discover the patterns by which these worlds were opened.
However, Wang Chen didn't care about any of this; they were just a few worlds, and since the three clans were obedient, he would keep his promise.
While they were in the starry sky, the three clans had actually intentionally controlled their own development, fearing they would be swept into a Great Tribulation once again.
Upon arriving in the Inner Chaos, they began to completely let loose, gradually learning from the development paths of the Mountain Sea Realm and the Canglan Origin World.
"Hehe, not bad. They really have discovered quite a few treasures, and after lifting the Restrictions, they are developing very quickly."
When these Origin Realms were nurtured, many treasures were naturally born; now that these were being obtained by the three clans, it could be considered an Opportunity.
After they chose the Mountain Sea Realm and the Canglan Origin World, the number of cities began to gradually increase; currently, it wasn't other reasons limiting the number of cities, but rather that the populations of the three clans were not yet large enough.
Among the three clans, the Dragon Clan acted the most boldly; they bestowed the Dragon Clan Bloodline upon the indigenous beings of the newly found Origin Realms.
Giving them the chance to breed, grow, and leap through the Dragon Gate.
Many members of the Dragon Clan also bred with these beings, which led to the appearance of all sorts of creatures possessing the Dragon Clan Bloodline within the three Origin Realms occupied by the Dragon Clan.
It was believed that before long, these worlds would become incomparably prosperous; furthermore, after arriving in the Inner Chaos, the Dragon Clan had begun researching the methods of Luck Dynasties within the worlds they opened, and they had already achieved some results.
The value of the three ancestors of the Dragon Clan was still rising.
The number of Origin Realms newly found by the Phoenix Clan was the same as the Dragon Clan's; their actions were slightly slower than the Dragon Clan's, but the Phoenix Clan had many divine ark—each additional divine boat meant an extra sliver of Opportunity.
After arriving in the Inner Chaos, Yuan Feng remained in seclusion for a long time, and the outside world did not know the reason.
Only Wang Chen knew that after arriving in the Inner Chaos, Yuan Feng had used her essence blood combined with a strand of Innate Yin and Yang Qi and a strand of Innate Five Elements Qi to nurture two eggs.
"It seems these are the Peacock and the Golden-Winged Great Peng; I wonder what heights you can reach with Yuan Feng's personal cultivation."
Neither of Yuan Feng's two children was simple, especially that Peacock; during the Investiture of the Gods period, Kong Xuan had few rivals below the rank of Saint.
With his Five-Colored Divine Light, he tormented a host of immortals and gods to the point of wishing for death, forcing Jiang Ziya to hang up the "refuse battle" sign.
It wasn't until the Western Saint Zhunti took action that Kong Xuan's Divine Ability was broken, and he was finally subdued.
This also confirmed his status as the number one person below the rank of Saint.
Even after joining the Western Sect, his status was very aloof, but it was a pity there was no possibility of further advancement.
As for the Golden-Winged Great Peng, he could be said to have played a winning hand terribly; he didn't make good use of the Innate Yin and Yang Qi, instead using it to refine a Magic Treasure, and eventually faded into mediocrity.
Among the three clans, the Qilin Clan was the most pathetic, having found only one Origin Realm; its development speed was also significantly slower than the other two clans.
It was evident that the barrier of the Inner Chaos prevented the Beginning Qilin from monitoring the development of the other two clans in real-time, causing his decision-making to fall behind.
If things continued this way, the Qilin Clan would surely be left behind until they were on a completely different level.
Wang Chen only took a cursory look at the development of the three clans; how they developed and to what extent was entirely up to them, as he would not interfere.
With a few steps, he arrived at the Great Wilderness. Surprisingly, the Great Wilderness was noticeably larger than before, and its world Origin was a bit more robust.
A divine light flashed through Wang Chen's eyes as he saw over a dozen strands of mysterious yellow mother qi within the world Origin; without even thinking, he knew it was the handiwork of Ancestor Yang Mei.
It seemed that during the time he was away, Ancestor Yang Mei had also been very attentive to the development of the Great Wilderness.
His gaze turned toward the nurturing place of the three—Hongjun and the others—and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Under the nurturing of this period, Hongjun, Rahu, and Ancestor Yinyang had completely returned and were each accumulating their foundations in preparation for their birth.
It seemed that Ancestor Yang Mei's mysterious yellow mother qi was quite effective, as the time of their return was sooner than expected.
His eyes' divine light pierced through the infinite Chaos; Wang Chen intended to go see what Ancestor Yang Mei's ashram was like.
With so much mysterious yellow mother qi invested, it must surely be quite extraordinary.
Before long, a Mysterious Yellow Great World came into Wang Chen's view.
This world itself was not far from the Great Wilderness, so it didn't take Wang Chen much time to find it.
At the same time Wang Chen discovered this world, Ancestor Yang Mei also sensed his arrival.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Ziwei has come. It just so happens that this old Daoist's ashram has also taken shape; why not come here for a chat?"
The space outside the Mysterious Yellow Great World rippled slightly, and Ancestor Yang Mei stepped out with a smile.
"Since Fellow Daoist Yang Mei has invited me, I shall not be polite. I happen to be quite curious about this world of yours as well."
Wang Chen did not stand on ceremony at all and stepped to Ancestor Yang Mei's side.
"Fellow Daoist Ziwei, please."
Ancestor Yang Mei gestured with his hand, and Wang Chen followed him into the Mysterious Yellow Great World.
This world could be described as high-profile; one could easily perceive the mysterious yellow qi contained within the heavens and earth.
Moreover, at the very first glance, one would clearly know the name of this world. One thing, however, was rather unexpected to Wang Chen.
"It is truly surprising that Fellow Daoist Yang Mei would be willing to hand over management of your ashram to the primordial heavens dao."
"Sigh, ever since Fellow Daoist Ziwei opened numerous worlds in the Inner Chaos, the primordial heavens dao's control over the Inner Chaos has gradually deepened."
"Especially since the Mysterious Yellow Great World is so close to the Great Wilderness, and this old Daoist's ashram is so enticing, it was naturally targeted by the Heavenly Dao."
"If I didn't hand it over to the primordial heavens dao to manage, I wouldn't be able to withstand it constantly peeking over every few days."
Ancestor Yang Mei's expression was both helpless and proud. Previously, the primordial heavens dao had disliked him greatly, but now it was coveting his Mysterious Yellow Great World.
Because of this, however, the primordial heavens dao had become less repulsed by him.
As soon as he entered the Mysterious Yellow Great World, Wang Chen felt that the Dao rhyme of the entire world was completely different from other worlds.
The Heavenly Dao of this world leaned more towards the Martial Dao, and the entire world was filled with martial virtue.
"This Mysterious Yellow Great World is truly unique; its world resources are rich, enough to support the prosperity of the Martial Dao."
"Indeed, with the mysterious yellow mother qi present, this world of this Old Daoist is extremely rich in various Heaven And Earth Treasures, making it very suitable for Martial Dao cultivation."
"Moreover, this Old Daoist very much likes the arrangements Fellow Daoist Ziwei made in the Great Desolation."
"So I also want to make the Mysterious Yellow Great World a bit more lively; Martial Dao cultivation is all about competing."
"All practitioners climb over each other; only through constant fighting and constant tempering of one's Martial Dao can true powerhouses be created."
Great Emperor Ziwei's arrangements reminded Ancestor Yang Mei of those years when he was a Chaos Demon God.
Survival of the fittest, the struggle for the Great Dao—one could say they fought as soon as they met.
The years in the Great Wilderness had smoothed his edges somewhat, but fortunately, after cultivating the Martial Dao, he found that original feeling again.
"The number of living beings is small, but each has amazing Martial Dao talent; they look much more brash than the Great Wilderness Cultivators."
"This Emperor's blood is also boiling a bit; why don't we have a spar in the Chaos using only the Martial Dao?"
The Martial Dao is the path of tapping into the body's potential, and it has always possessed infinite potential.
Wang Chen also wanted to see how far Ancestor Yang Mei's Martial Dao had progressed and what kind of scenery he had seen in it that made him choose to value the Martial Dao so much.
"Haha, since Fellow Daoist Ziwei has such an interest, then this Old Daoist will respectfully comply."
The two smiled at each other, both curious about the other's progress. They entered the Inner Chaos one after the other, and after moving far away from the worlds that had been opened, Wang Chen and Ancestor Yang Mei stood facing each other.
Vast Blood Qi pierced through the Chaos, and infinite Martial Dao True Intent penetrated the universe.
Neither held a weapon in their hands; they tacitly began with hand-to-hand combat.
As their Aura continued to climb, the Martial Dao True Intent behind Ancestor Yang Mei combined with his Blood Qi, transforming into a hollow willow that reached through the heavens and earth.
Every time it swayed, infinite worlds were opened, and the mere leaked Great Dao rhyme caused the surrounding billions of miles of Chaos Qi to vanish completely.
On the other side, the Aura on Wang Chen's body was also incomparably vast and powerful; an Aura that governed the universe and suppressed the boundless Chaos suddenly descended.
His Blood Qi and Martial Dao True Intent gathered to become the primordial heavenly stars, and in the center of the starry sky, a noble star emitting infinite purple qi stood quietly.
The primordial heavenly stars moved in profound trajectories; wherever they passed, the Chaos was opened. In the Face of such vast and boundless power, worlds could no longer be born within it.
Wang Chen's Martial Dao rhyme turned billions of miles of Chaos into nothingness, and even the Great Dao Laws were excluded.
Except for Wang Chen's own Great Dao Laws, other Great Dao Laws could not even approach; at this moment, he displayed a dominance unlike before.
Boom! The vast True Intent Manifestations collided, and the extreme Dao rhymes crushed and annihilated each other.
The Great Dao Laws of the two wore each other down in the collision.
A flash of surprise crossed Ancestor Yang Mei's eyes; it was also his first time seeing this side of Great Emperor Ziwei.
He had originally thought that Great Emperor Ziwei's emphasis on the Martial Dao was limited, but he hadn't expected that he was simply disdainful of revealing it.
If not for today's event, even Ancestor Yang Mei would not have discovered that Great Emperor Ziwei's attainment in the Martial Dao actually exceeded his own.
'As expected of the pioneer of the Martial Dao, it seems today's battle won't be easy.'
He never expected that this person before him had still been hiding something in the last battle.
However, it was true that Great Emperor Ziwei had first attained the Dao as a Creator God.
In other words, his Martial Dao had made a flying leap in progress after he attained the Dao as a Creator God.
It had to be said, Great Emperor Ziwei always managed to pique his curiosity.
At the very instant Ancestor Yang Mei's thoughts wavered, Wang Chen's entire Aura changed.
His right punch was thrown in an instant, and his Martial Dao Manifestation, the Ziwei Star, governed the Sun and Moon to bless his fist.
The Sun and Moon shone together, and Yin and Yang annihilated everything.
Wang Chen's punch instantly pierced through Ancestor Yang Mei's Martial Dao Manifestation, and the primordial heavenly stars turned into boundless starlight, annihilating everything ahead.
The Ziwei Star hung high behind Wang Chen, remaining motionless like an emperor commanding thousands of troops and horses.
Facing such an attack, Ancestor Yang Mei instantly snapped back to his senses, inwardly cursing his own carelessness.
His palm traced a profound trajectory in front of him, and then he slowly clenched it.
A Dao rhyme of the rebirth of all things diffused from Ancestor Yang Mei's Martial Dao Manifestation, and the hollow willow that had been mostly annihilated was restored in an instant.
There was a sense of endless vitality on Ancestor Yang Mei's fist.
Buzz~
Before one could blink, the two fists slammed together, and the point where they met was as if the heavens and earth were being split open.
Ripples after ripples penetrated the Chaos, causing the Chaos Qi of the Inner Chaos to stir up boundless waves.
Fortunately, before the battle, they had used great magic power to isolate the directions where there were worlds; otherwise, those Origin Realms would have become small boats in a great sea.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Wang Chen's offense seemed endless; punches, palms, elbows, knees, and legs—the continuous onslaught made Ancestor Yang Mei look rather disheveled.
Wang Chen's fighting didn't have the concept of 'you charge up an attack, then I charge up an attack'; as long as he caught an opening, it would be a storm of continuous attacks.
Moreover, as the battle continued, the Aura on Wang Chen's body actually began to gradually increase.
This kind of combat was completely different from the Great Wilderness immortals using Magic Treasures and other external objects to fight.
Martial Dao combat appeared more primitive and savage, as if truly returning to the Chaos era before Pangu had opened the heavens.
Wang Chen and Ancestor Yang Mei were like two Chaos Demon Gods; every punch and kick contained Great Dao Laws.
A single wisp of leaked Aura could collapse an Origin Realm; destroying a world was much simpler than creating one.
Everywhere the two passed, everything turned into nothingness; nothing could remain in the wake of their battle.
Even the Great Dao Laws were bossily pushed aside.
Ancestor Yang Mei was like a small boat in a violent storm; although he relied on his endless Martial Dao True Intent to continuously take Wang Chen's attacks head-on, this situation was definitely unfavorable for him.
The more he fought, the more alarmed he became while focusing on dealing with Wang Chen's offensive.
The Martial Dao Manifestation behind Wang Chen became more and more condensed, and gradually all the stars merged into the Ziwei Star.
A mysterious and profound Aura diffused from the Ziwei Star behind Wang Chen, and purple divine radiance dyed the Chaos purple.
By the time Ancestor Yang Mei reacted, even his Martial Dao Manifestation had been dyed with a hint of purple.
A barely perceptible smile curled at the corner of Wang Chen's mouth, and Ancestor Yang Mei inwardly sensed trouble.
Although he didn't know what would happen, it definitely wasn't anything good; if this continued, he would undoubtedly lose.
At a certain moment, brilliant divine radiance lit up on Ancestor Yang Mei's body, and his entire Aura suddenly changed.
The hollow willow vanished in an instant, replaced by a Seed of Life, with infinite vitality nurturing within it.
In the next moment, the endless Dao rhyme vanished, replaced by the extreme Great Dao of Space.
A hollow willow even larger than before broke out of its cocoon, and in the blink of an eye, a Martial Dao Manifestation many times larger than before appeared.
The space between Wang Chen and Ancestor Yang Mei was infinitely stretched, and the distance between the two became incomparably vast; Wang Chen did not resist this.
He also wanted to see how far Ancestor Yang Mei had progressed.
Feeling the Aura emanating from the opponent, it was many times stronger than just now, which could be seen from the Martial Dao Manifestation.
However, things did not exceed Wang Chen's expectations; the current Ancestor Yang Mei was strong, but not strong enough.
If he had only reached this step, then he couldn't be blamed for showing a bit of his strength.
"It seems this is Fellow Daoist Yang Mei's true Martial Dao strength; you were still hiding something just now."
As Wang Chen spoke, the Martial Dao Manifestation behind him slowly shrank under Ancestor Yang Mei's shocked gaze, eventually merging into one with Wang Chen's body.
"Then this Emperor shall also be a bit more serious."
In an instant, an Aura that made the universe tremble swept through the Chaos.
Wang Chen opened his eyes, and his pupils seemed to have turned into two Ziwei Stars.
Purple divine radiance was draped over him, and a brilliant Purple Light Wheel floated behind his head, containing a profound star map within it.
The Aura on Wang Chen's body was not concealed in the slightest.
The magnificent and vast Dao rhyme collided with Ancestor Yang Mei's hollow willow, and waves of spatial ripples undulated outwards.
Facing such an Aura, Ancestor Yang Mei instantly felt as if he were facing a great enemy; having been incomparably confident just now, his heart had now sunk to the bottom.
He had thought to pull out his trump card and win against Great Emperor Ziwei once, but he hadn't expected the other party to hide even deeper than him, which caught him off guard.
Even if Wang Chen's current Aura made him feel very uneasy, he still had his own pride; being suppressed and beaten all the time made him lose a lot of Face.
Although no one knew except the two of them.
Thinking of this, Ancestor Yang Mei decided to take a gamble. His Martial Dao Manifestation swayed gently, and in an instant, a Space Storm blew up in the Chaos ahead.
His right hand clenched gently, and a scepter condensed from the Great Dao of Space appeared.
Ancestor Yang Mei did not hesitate for a moment and swung his hand down towards Wang Chen.
He did not move a single step, yet that scepter crossed endless time and space to appear directly above Wang Chen's head.
Wang Chen made no movement in response; the Purple Light Wheel behind him turned slightly, and misty purple light illuminated the Chaos.
When the scepter in Ancestor Yang Mei's hand collided with that purple light, it actually made a crisp 'ding' sound, and then he felt the scepter being imprisoned.
Ancestor Yang Mei just wanted to exert force to break free when his Face suddenly changed drastically.
His divine senses were frantically warning him, giving him a feeling that a great terror was about to descend.
Without a moment's hesitation, he abandoned the scepter in his hand and immediately fled far away.
Wang Chen smiled slightly at this.
"Too late. From the moment I merged with my Martial Dao Manifestation and you didn't flee, your failure was already destined."
The profound Primordial Star Map in the Purple Light Wheel shone with great brilliance, and at the same time, the Purple Light Wheel turned once more.
Great sound is silent, great form is shapeless.
Everywhere the misty purple light covered, all things returned to the void.
Before Ancestor Yang Mei could escape the range covered by the purple light, he felt his Martial Dao Manifestation being annihilated without any power to resist.
At this moment, he could no longer care about much; all his strength erupted, and layer upon layer of space blocked the purple qi.
A streak of immortal light pierced through the Chaos, opening a gap in the purple light.
The moment he sensed the spatial blockade had vanished, Ancestor Yang Mei's figure immediately disappeared from the spot.
Having successfully run out of the purple light's range, Ancestor Yang Mei felt cold sweat breaking out on his body.
The area covered by that purple light banned all Great Dao except for the Great Dao Laws on Wang Chen's body; if your strength was not enough to contend with it, you would become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
For a brief moment, Ancestor Yang Mei even wondered if Great Emperor Ziwei wanted him to perish.
Crack~
The sound of space shattering rang in his ears; at some unknown point, Great Emperor Ziwei had actually appeared behind Ancestor Yang Mei.
Wang Chen reached out a finger and gently poked the Space Barrier protecting Ancestor Yang Mei's body, and the space instantly shattered.
"Dao Ancestor Zi Wei, stop the fight, stop the fight! This Old Daoist admits defeat."
Ancestor Yang Mei was so scared that he fled from the spot, waving his hands repeatedly in surrender.
"Haha, it seems Fellow Daoist Yang Mei's Martial Dao practice isn't quite there yet; I'm sure that after returning this time, you will definitely have gained a lot."
"The guidance fee for this time cannot be small, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei."
Wang Chen looked at Ancestor Yang Mei with a smile; the Purple Light Wheel behind him slowly vanished, and the Aura on his body also disappeared.
His entire Aura was simply harmless compared to before; seeing this, Ancestor Yang Mei's eyes twitched.
'You really can hide; if I hadn't fought you this time, I wouldn't have known you still had these trump cards.'
'The depth of your Martial Dao wasn't even tested this time, and Ancestor Yang Mei doesn't even dare to imagine how much your Divine Dao can hide.'
Ancestor Yang Mei couldn't help but shout in his heart.
He was even a bit unsure of his own background as a Chaos Demon God; he couldn't quite understand Great Emperor Ziwei's cultivation progress.
"Haha, this Old Daoist has indeed benefited immensely this time and will certainly not let Dao Ancestor Zi Wei suffer a loss."
"This Old Daoist doesn't have any suitable treasures on hand for now, but a supreme treasure is currently being nurtured within the Mysterious Yellow Great World."
"It's just that I don't know when this supreme treasure will be born, and the grade of the treasure cannot be determined yet; Dao Ancestor Zi Wei will have to wait for a while."
"Sigh, the matter of treasures is optional. Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, calling me 'Dao Ancestor Zi Wei' one after another is a bit too formal; you should still call me 'Fellow Daoist' as before. There's no need for such politeness between you and me."
This time Ancestor Yang Mei was truly frightened, even becoming polite with his forms of address. Wang Chen laughed inwardly, but it didn't show on his Face.
As for supreme treasures or whatever, he didn't care much; at his level, there were very few things in the Great Wilderness he couldn't obtain.
"This Old Daoist was also shocked by Fellow Daoist Ziwei's Martial Dao progress; your Martial Dao wasn't this terrifying during our last spar."
"I didn't expect that when we sparred again, your Martial Dao would suddenly become so much stronger."
"Especially the feat of merging the body and the Martial Dao Manifestation; it can be said to have pushed the Martial Dao forward by another step."
Faced with Ancestor Yang Mei's lament, Wang Chen smiled without speaking; if he told Ancestor Yang Mei that every single star in his Martial Dao Manifestation nurtured a Great Divine Ability, wouldn't he just explode?
"It was an occasional flash of inspiration that led to some comprehension, so I'm considered one step ahead of you. But with Fellow Daoist Yang Mei's talent and Comprehension Ability, I'm sure it won't be long before you can also take that step."
Ancestor Yang Mei smiled and nodded upon hearing this.
He indeed had some comprehension; in fact, he had basically reached the end of the path for the Martial Dao Manifestation.
He had been thinking about the subsequent path, and now that Great Emperor Ziwei had fully displayed the subsequent path before him, he would also be able to take that step quickly after going back and entering seclusion once.
Wang Chen followed Ancestor Yang Mei to his Daoist rite. Besides the xuanhuang mother tree, there were several other Spiritual Roots here.
It was obvious that Ancestor Yang Mei had spent time researching Spiritual Roots, as evidenced by the several Acquired spiritual trees in his Daoist rite.
The two sat facing each other. Ancestor Yang Mei drew spiritual water from a Guishui Divine Tree to brew enlightenment tea.
With silent understanding, neither of them mentioned the spar they just had.
"In the blink of an eye, several eonss have passed. I wonder how Fellow Daoists Ancestor Qiankun and Five Elements Ancestor are doing now."
Wang Chen remembered that these two had obtained the method to Attain the Dao as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal from Ancestor Yang Mei.
"Ever since they exchanged for the Righteous Path method from this old Daoist, we haven't been in contact."
"I haven't felt their presence within the Primordial World. Most likely, they headed into the Chaos to make their Breakthrough."
Wang Chen nodded at his words and tasted Ancestor Yang Mei's tea.
The characteristics of this gui water were ultimate softness, permeation, and spirituality, possessing the divine effect of nourishing all things.
The enlightenment tea brewed with gui water was very soft on the palate. As the tea entered the body, it permeated into the limbs and bones, allowing the effects of the enlightenment tea to be fully utilized.
Its inherent nourishing effect could even nurture the spirituality of living beings. It felt quite good and had a unique flavor.
"Seeing that the three Fellow Daoists including Hongjun are about to emerge, yet Fellow Daoists Qiankun and Five Elements are nowhere to be found."
"I hope they can successfully Attain the Dao and return."
Ancestor Yang Mei smiled noncommittally. How difficult it was to Attain the Dao as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and the foundations of Ancestor Qiankun and the Five Elements Ancestor were clearly incomparable to his.
Even if they successfully attained the Dao as Grand Unity Golden Immortals, it would still take several eonss.
"I see that Fellow Daoist has not yet cast the four Vicious Beasts into the Great Wilderness. I wonder what concerns you have?"
Before coming to the Mysterious Yellow Great World, Wang Chen had not seen the figures of the four Vicious Beasts in the Great Wilderness.
"There is indeed a slight concern. Luo Hou saved the lives of the four Vicious Beasts. Although it's unlikely they would repay him given their nature, it still feels somewhat inappropriate."
Their original intention for placing the four Vicious Beasts in the Great Wilderness was not to provide assistance to Luo Hou.
Rather, it was to make Hongjun, Yin Yang, and Luo Hou fight among themselves; only then would it be interesting.
If a fight that was originally evenly matched became one-sided because of the four Vicious Beasts, that was not something they wanted to see.
Listening to Ancestor Yang Mei's explanation, Wang Chen's expression remained calm as he continued to sip the enlightenment tea.
There were many ways to solve this matter; it just depended on which one they wanted to use.
"Has Fellow Daoist Yang Mei thought of a solution?"
"I do have a few ideas. First, temporarily Seal some of their strength. Second, find some Spirit Beasts and Auspicious Beasts from the Primordial World. Third, refine a few treasures specifically to restrain the four Vicious Beasts."
Hearing this, Wang Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "Regarding the first point, I'm sure neither you nor I would deign to do such a thing."
"As for the second point, the three clans have been quite idle lately, and most of their clansmen are within the Inner Chaos. Fellow Daoist Yang Mei can go find them directly."
"Under the Vermilion Bird's command, there are also some Spirit Beasts and Auspicious Beasts, such as Bifang, Zhongming Bird, Xiezhi, and so on. In the Primordial World, there are also Tiangou, Tengshe, Bai Ze, Qinyuan, Baixi, etc. In short, there are many choices."
"Even beside your Incarnation True Man Kong Ming, there are Little Lingzhi and Canglei."
"The third point is even easier. For this matter, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, you can simply follow your own choice."
Ancestor Yang Mei understood Great Emperor Ziwei's meaning. This matter was being fully entrusted to him; Great Emperor Ziwei would not interfere in how he did it.
"In that case, this old Daoist will walk around a bit and make a decision after returning."
Wang Chen nodded and no longer concerned himself with this matter. Now that he had seen the Great Wilderness, he planned to return and Cultivate in seclusion.
During this period, his comprehension of the Great Dao had improved again. The primordial heavens dao had also become more and more Perfected. After returning and cross-referencing with the primordial heavens dao, he expected to take a big step forward in the Realm of Creator God Early Stage.
As for those trivial matters, they could be left to others to handle.
At Ancestor Yang Mei's invitation, the two discussed the Dao for a while. During this time, Ancestor Yang Mei always intentionally or unintentionally steered the direction of the discussion toward the creation of worlds.
Ancestor Yang Mei had his own little thoughts. It was no secret in the Primordial World that Great Emperor Ziwei loved creating worlds.
Ancestor Yang Mei suspected that the reason he progressed so quickly might be because he obtained a great Opportunity from the Dao of world creation.
During the Chaos period, Pangu wanted to create a world. After the Primordial World was born, Great Emperor Ziwei also wanted to create worlds, and both of them were excessively strong.
Ancestor Yang Mei couldn't help but suspect whether there were unknown secrets hidden within.
He planned to learn a move. After Great Emperor Ziwei left, he would create a world within this Inner Chaos to see if he could research the truth behind it.
He had conveniently created worlds before, but there had been no gains.
Looking at it now, it was possible he just hadn't discovered where the Opportunity lay.
Ancestor Yang Mei's little thoughts were quickly noticed by Wang Chen, who couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei needn't test me like this. Creating worlds indeed helps my Cultivation."
"No matter how you control the Great Dao Laws of each world when you create them, they will always be somewhat different. And this difference will grow larger and larger with the passage of time and the shifting of worldly affairs."
"There are many things within this that can be comprehended, especially since I am an Innate Divine Spirit; my perception of these Great Dao Laws is even deeper."
Wang Chen's words stopped there; he didn't want to discuss the more secretive topics that followed.
For example, creating a world would increase the foundation of the Primordial World, which would make the primordial heavens dao more Perfected.
So creating a world was a double harvest for Wang Chen.
Ancestor Yang Mei fell silent for a long time upon hearing this, sighing, "Regrettably, this old Daoist has already walked too far on the path of a Chaos Demon God and cannot glimpse the mysteries of the Innate Divine Dao."
"I only hope to follow closely in Fellow Daoist Ziwei's footsteps on this path of Martial Arts and achieve something in the future."
"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei. So far, the Dao paths of those who follow me have been very smooth."
Wang Chen raised his teacup and clinked it with Ancestor Yang Mei's. The two smiled at each other, everything understood without words.
After the discussion ended, Wang Chen returned to the Divine Realm to begin his seclusion. He had gained much during this period and intended to use this seclusion to transform those gains into his own foundation.
In the center of the Primordial Great Land was the living place of the Witch Clan.
Since the Ancestral Witches returned from listening to the Dao, the expansion of the Witch Clan had been very restrained.
Especially after Hou Tu returned, they began to learn from the experiences of the Mountain Sea Realm and the Canglan Origin World.
Various tribes began to build cities. At the same time, if any Witch was willing to establish an Imperial Dynasty, they could expand outward on their own after receiving permission from an Ancestral Witch.
In other words, if one wanted to establish an Imperial Dynasty, they needed to leave the current lands of the Witch Clan and take those willing to leave with them.
Of course, the Ancestral Witches were not abandoning them. If they encountered someone bullying the weak, the Ancestral Witches would not stand by and watch.
The current Twelve Ancestral Witches were not the same as before. After practicing the witch scripture", they had already condensed a Martial Dao Primordial Spirit.
Every one of them was putting in their best effort, all in seclusion practicing the Divine Dao.
Furthermore, Hou Tu had also made a series of plans for the future of her brothers and sisters.
She knew about the existence of Status, so she planned to scheme ahead while few people knew about it.
As a Disciple of Dao Ancestor Zi Wei, the Ancestral Witches trusted Hou Tu's planning immensely, but it would still take some time to achieve results.
Currently, the Ancestral Witches' Divine Dao cultivation was still shallow; they needed to practice for some time before they could lay out plans to obtain Status.
However, the Ancestral Witches themselves had their own natal Laws, which was a great help to their practice of the Innate Divine Dao.
Similarly, Nuwa, who resided on Mount Zhou, returned to practice in seclusion for a while, while also discussing the Dao with her brother Fuxi.
Afterward, having nothing else to do, the two of them toured the Primordial World together, intending to see its changes and perhaps collect some fated treasures along the way.
At Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones made a similar decision to Nuwa. The three of them toured the Primordial World together, also intending to collect some treasures to bolster their family assets.
With their Master as a preceding example, if they were to take Disciples in the future, they naturally wouldn't mistreat them.
But with their current assets, it was clearly very difficult to bestow Spirit Treasures impartially as their Master did.
It was the perfect time to go out and tour the world, and while admiring the scenery of all things, look for some treasures nurtured by heaven and earth.
And indeed, because Hongjun had fallen early at Wang Chen's hands, there were still many Innate Spirit Treasures in the Primordial World that had not been taken by Hongjun.
For instance, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, who often wandered in the west, had found several Innate Spirit Treasures.
Among them were the Divine Blessing Pestle, the Golden Bow, the Dharma Wheel of Extinction, and so on.
It's just that these two were currently not in the Primordial Great Land, but in the Canglan Origin World, following and practicing beside the Canglan Emperor.
With the Black Emperor's token, they naturally found the Canglan Emperor, who was practicing in the Mortal World.
After several eonss of tempering in the Mortal World, the Canglan Emperor's state of mind, Realm, and strength had all improved.
That strand of pure Mortal World Qi between his brows could no longer easily affect him.
Although this tribulation lasted a long time, the gains were not small, and even greater gains would come after passing the tribulation.
The Canglan Emperor had already walked a very long distance in the Hun Yuan Golden Immortal Early Stage. If he were to go into seclusion once with peace of mind, it wouldn't be hard to break through to the Hun Yuan Golden Immortal Middle Stage.
However, in his current situation, he didn't dare to easily enter seclusion. If the tribulation suddenly erupted again during seclusion, he would have no choice but to return to the embrace of Great Emperor Ziwei.
He was originally unwilling to take Disciples during this time, but the token came from the Black Emperor, who knew his situation.
Since he still sent Jie Yin and Zhun Ti to take him as their Master, this matter must also be beneficial to him.
Thus, he kept the two by his side, temporarily as Named Disciples.
He would observe them first. If they were fated, it wouldn't be too late to formally accept them as Disciples once he had escaped his tribulation.
Three Hun Yuan Golden Immortals walked in the human world like Mortals.
During this time, the Canglan Emperor also gradually came to understand the situation of Zhun Ti and Jie Yin.
"The Buddhist Path? I once walked through the Seven Treasures Dynasty, but it was very different from the current situation."
The Canglan Emperor looked at the newly built temples where many living beings came and went, either burning incense or praying for blessings. This scene was very different from other Imperial Dynasties.
"Master, this is also something we figured out ourselves. We found that by practicing through the Power Of Will, incense, and faith of believers, Buddhism progresses much faster than through general methods."
"So we promoted this method throughout the Seven Treasures Dynasty, intending to accumulate experience bit by bit and observe the effects of these on Buddhist Path cultivation."
The Canglan Emperor had already understood the matters of the Buddhist Path and had also asked for a copy of the Buddhist Path scriptures, which he had been studying during this time.
This Buddhist Path indeed offered great help to his Mortal World Dao, with many points worth referencing.
Since their Master had spoken, he must be very concerned about this matter, or perhaps he had doubts or found errors.
Jie Yin and Zhun Ti did not dare to be careless and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
They had followed the Canglan Emperor as ascetic monks for a while, seeing many things they hadn't stopped to look at closely before.
Now being in the midst of it and experiencing it like Mortals, they truly had different insights, especially since their Master often spoke words full of Zen meaning.
If they hadn't confirmed that their Master practiced the Immortal Dao, they would have suspected he also practiced the Buddhist Path.
"Your way of doing things is a bit eager for quick results. The people in these temples are not practicing the pure Buddhist Path, and they haven't studied the Buddhist scriptures for long; they cannot be considered Buddhist Disciples."
"Some abbots don't even possess a kind heart. What exactly is being nurtured in such temples—a Buddha or a demon?"
The Canglan Emperor's words were flat, but they made Jie Yin and Zhun Ti's bodies tremble.
"Master, we also have no choice. The Buddhist Path is equivalent to a new Dao path, a brand new sect."
"If we were to promote it grandly now, I'm afraid many Immortals and Gods would target us."
Zhun Ti explained somewhat urgently.
"What you should do is let the pure land in your hearts coexist with the world, rather than being indecisive and creating such neither-fish-nor-fowl things."
"If you want to practice the Buddhist Path, just walk it boldly. If you want to spread the Buddhist Path, just do it. As long as you don't do things that harm the Primordial World, Dao Ancestor Zi Wei won't care."
"As for the other Immortals and Gods in the Primordial World, it's impossible for all of them to be hostile toward you just because you opened a new Dao path."
"You should know that true dragons aren't raised in shallow water. Don't forget that the Divine Dao was also carved out by Dao Ancestor Zi Wei through killing."
Jie Yin and Zhun Ti felt somewhat ashamed, their faces turning red. Ultimately, it was Zhun Ti who asked the question in his heart.
"By doing this, we are almost snatching faith from the Acquired Divine Spirits. If the Buddhist Path is exposed, we will surely be hated by the Acquired Divine Spirits."
Zhun Ti spoke very tactfully; in truth, they were worried about the Northern Emperor's displeasure.
"Acquired Divine Spirits? How many World Gods do the Acquired Divine Spirits have? Besides the Northern Emperor, no one has attained the Dao as a World God yet. What are you afraid of?"
"As for the Northern Emperor, he would care even less. As Incarnations of Dao Ancestor Zi Wei, we are here to make the Primordial World better, not to compete for profit with its living beings."
"In the world of Immortals and Gods, survival of the fittest is the norm. Just go and compete boldly."
The Canglan Emperor gave Jie Yin and Zhun Ti an annoyed look.
He really hadn't expected Jie Yin and Zhun Ti to actually treat the Northern Emperor as an imaginary enemy.
This was probably one reason why they had persistently insisted on taking the Black Emperor as their Master.
"Go on. Change begins with these temples. I will stay in the Seven Treasures Dynasty for a while longer."
The Canglan Emperor waved his hand, signaling that the two could leave, and then walked into the nearest temple alone.
After Jie Yin and Zhun Ti left, they looked at each other, bitter smiles appearing on their faces.
It turned out their previous worries and concealment were all in vain. To use a Mortal saying, they had judged the heart of a gentleman with the mind of a petty man.
"This is a good thing. If it weren't for this matter, we wouldn't have persistently sought to become Disciples."
Zhun Ti first thought of the benefits this matter had brought them.
"Our two Masters have shown us kindness as heavy as mountains. They allowed us to avoid many detours and even pointed out the path ahead. We must not let Master Canglan down."
Jie Yin nodded, fully agreeing with Zhun Ti's thoughts.
With peace of mind, they began to act in an upright and honorable manner. All the temples in the entire Seven Treasures Dynasty were closed overnight.
