Chapter 547: Chapter 385: My Most Powerful Divine Power: Self-Destruct!_1
Upon seeing this colossal figure of the sky.
The followers in the square outside the main hall may not have recognized this gigantic silhouette, but they could feel a tremendous pressure emanating from it, as if a massive mountain weighed upon them, making it difficult to breathe.
Meanwhile, high in the sky.
"Father God!" Taishang Laojun was shocked and hurriedly paid his respects to the giant illusory figure.
Xuanqing, however, looked on with burning eyes, fixating on the Pangu illusion.
By analysis, Pangu should be a member of the Ancient God Clan, and within this clan, a very formidable presence, indeed.
"This Pangu God must have practiced the world's cultivation techniques; otherwise, he wouldn't have created this Primordial World," he thought.
Just as he was pondering this.
The enormous Pangu illusion that covered the heavens and earth suddenly looked in the direction of Black Wind Mountain and even gave a meaningful glance.
"Hiss~"
Xuanqing inhaled sharply.
Could it be that Pangu God has not died?
No, that's not right.
According to the legends of the Primordial World, Pangu God never died but instead his physical body transformed into the Primordial World and his God Soul into the creatures of the Primordial World.
What's more.
In the rumors, the main part of Pangu God's God Soul split into three, namely Taiqing Daode Tianzun, Tongtian, and Lingbao Tianzun.
"Calculated this way, I… am actually a disciple of Pangu God?" Xuanqing's face showed a strange expression, his mind filled with myriad thoughts.
….
While everyone was shocked by the reappearance of Pangu God's illusion,
an unexpected event occurred!
The vast Pangu illusion's eyes turned into Yin Yang fish, and then started to spin rapidly.
Whoosh~
The speed of rotation increased, eventually forming a fantastical screen of illusion.
Within the screen was an endless void with nothing inside, not even light existed.
And in the very center of this void, six figures stood on alert as if guarding against something.
"My own self?"
"Great Ancestor?"
In the skies above.
Seeing this scene, both Xuanqing and Taishang Laojun called out after recognizing the figures in the image.
However,
this scene had only appeared briefly when it turned into a scatter of starlight and vanished along with the illusion of Pangu.
Everything disappeared as if it had never existed, like bubbles.
Seeing this scene,
Xuanqing was full of questions, and he immediately said to Taishang Laojun, "Great Ancestor, I have many questions to ask you, could we step aside to talk?"
"Fine," Taishang Laojun nodded slightly.
Afterward,
the voices of the two faded away above the square, leaving only the followers of the Dao Court still in the square, absorbing and digesting the cultivation they had just improved.
It was just from that one wave,
Gentleman Bai She successfully underwent metamorphosis and reached Great Luo Realm, while the Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals also gained something. Only Heaven, Human, and Emperor reached the peak of their cultivation, with no further progress possible.
As for the ordinary cultivators, they were breaking through several cultivation levels one after another.
What's more,
the spiritual Qi of the entire Black Wind Sacred Mountain transformed into a more advanced 'Innate Essence' and, taking it as the center, spread in all directions, covering most of the Black Wind Country.
This meant… The environment of Taichu Dojo would gradually become like the early days of the Primordial era.
For cultivators, practicing in this 'Innate Essence' filled with the rhyme of the Dao would be as natural as fish swimming in water.
Eventually… an era where the Immortal Body is as common as dogs and Taiyi roam everywhere will occur in Black Wind Country, and it will become the Cultivation Holy Land of the Three Realms.
It's well known,
even the Immortal Qi in Heavenly Court is merely a slightly more advanced form of spiritual Qi than the Heaven and Earth spiritual Qi but still less advanced than Innate Essence.
….
Without concerning the outside world,
Inside the main hall of Taichu Dojo,
Xuanqing sat opposite Taishang Laojun.
"Great Ancestor, what was the deal with that scene in Pangu God's eyes just now? Please enlighten me!"
Upon hearing this,
"Ah!"
Taishang Laojun sighed.
He had not intended to bring it up, but now that Xuanqing had grown to this stage, and considering the scene with Father God's origin just now… Well then!
"This is how it is… originally, before Primordial was Primordial, it was…."
Next,
The secret history of the Primordial World was recounted by Taishang Laojun.
So it turns out!
Pangu God wished to ascend to a higher realm through the creation of the Primordial World.
However, while creating the world, he was ambushed by creatures living in the endless Chaos, also known as the legendary three thousand Gods and Devils.
Although Pangu God was incomparably powerful, slaying these Gods and Devils with ease, almost decimating them, the ten most powerful managed to barely escape with their lives.
But since he was attacked by three thousand Gods and Devils at the most critical time of his practice, the ambush caused his creation to fail, leading to a backlash.
Ultimately,
Before dying and his Dao fading away, Pangu God expended his last bit of strength, even offering his physical body and God Soul, to forcibly complete the Primordial World.
It was for this reason that the origins of the Primordial World dwindled increasingly, to the point where it could hardly maintain the operation of the world.
Of course,
The decline of the world would not normally happen so quickly.

Chapter 548: Chapter 385: My Most Powerful Divine Power: Self-Destruct!_2
The reason why, within a mere one or two Convention years in the future, it would be completely eroded by the Endless Chaos—besides the imperfect nature of the Primordial World itself—
Was an even more important cause, which was…
The Ten Great Gods and Devils!
These were the mightiest ten among the three thousand assailants who had fled during the Pangu God's slaughter.
As natives of the Endless Chaos, their power might not have matched that of the Pangu God, but to the creatures of the Primordial World and even to the Primordial World itself, they were already very powerful.
After these Ten Great Gods and Devils managed to survive, they did not leave but quietly waited outside the Primordial World, ready to strike when their wounds had healed.
Their target… was the Primordial World that had merged with the flesh and God Soul of Pangu, waiting for the moment it would be eroded by the Endless Chaos to devour and refine it.
To these Gods and Devils, the entire Primordial World was like a delectable piece of fat meat, tantalizingly within reach.
Therefore!
As time passed, the injuries of these ten Gods and Devils also healed completely, and they planned to devour the Primordial World.
It was at this moment that the Primordial World sensed a fatal crisis and automatically released a sliver of opportunity.
This thread of opportunity was seized by Dao Master Hong Jun, who became the Primordial World's first Sage, the first to merge with the Great Dao in body and spirit.
Afterward.
Dao Master Hong Jun appeared outside the Primordial World within the Endless Chaos, holding off the attack of the Ten Great Gods and Devils, but in a situation of one against ten, he too suffered irreparable injuries.
Having no alternative,
He had to consume what little of the Primordial World's Origin remained to create seven wisps of Hongmeng Purple Qi, forcibly bringing into existence six within-realm Chaos Immortals, also known as… Sages!
Finally.
Dao Master Hong Jun fully merged into the Heavenly Path of the Primordial World, and the task of holding off the assault of the Ten Great Gods and Devils fell upon the heads of the six Sages.
…
…
This tale took three days and nights to be fully recounted.
After hearing it,
"So, the images previously displayed by the illusion of the Pangu God are those of the Endless Chaos beyond the Primordial World?"
"The crystal ball is our Primordial World where we live, and the Uncle Teacher along with the other five Sages, are those guarding around the Primordial World, defending against the Ten Great Gods and Devils that survived from the past!"
Xuanqing's face showed a look of sudden realization.
"Correct, the situation is exactly as you have imagined it to be!" Taishang Laojun nodded and affirmed Xuanqing's words.
This moment,
Having learned the true nature of the Primordial World,
Xuanqing couldn't help but have the idea to go on a journey to the Endless Chaos outside the Primordial World.
To see if the Endless Chaos connected to the Primordial World and the Endless Chaos connected to the Real World's Universe Space are indeed the same map.
By the way,
To also test how strong these so-called 'Ten Great Gods and Devils' are and if they could withstand the might of his self-destruction.
One must know,
Since the time he began to practice, he hardly had any real combat experience.
On the Real World's side, he was without peer, as the sole transcendent power of Water Blue Star, without any adversary to speak of.
In the Primordial World, although he had a few encounters with Shimen, those were only when he had a lower level of Cultivation fighting against the Yellow Wind Monster, and later, self-destructing to attack Guanyin, without any other battles since.
Now that his Cultivation had broken through to the status of a half-step chaos immortal, and he was only half a step away from the status of a Chaos Immortal, the realm of a Sage.
In the near future, he would enter the Endless Chaos World to make his mark.
It was a good opportunity to gauge the gap between himself and a true Chaos Immortal.
Besides,
The Primordial World was his second home, capable of generating so much Incense. Whether from an emotional or benefit perspective, he couldn't stand by and watch the Primordial World fall to destruction.
"Do you plan to go outside the Primordial World and have a look?" Taishang Laojun suddenly asked.
"Yes."
Xuanqing nodded and then explained, "To see if there's any way your disciple can help, and to assess the strength of these Gods and Devils."
Upon hearing this,
A flicker of worry passed through Taishang Laojun's eyes, but knowing he could not dissuade him, he simply cautioned, "Xuanqing, you possess the Resurrection Divine Power, yet you must be careful not to be sealed by the other side, be very cautious… and communicate more with your master's true self!"
"Thank you, Ancestor Master. I understand!" Xuanqing felt warmed by these words, nodding in response.
If anyone in the Primordial World truly cared about him, it was only Taishang Laojun and Great Immortal Zhenyuan.
"
Afterward.
Taishang Laojun didn't say much else, leaving behind only the words "Take care" before he departed from Black Wind Mountain.
…
Watching the Ancestor Master leave,
Xuanqing felt somewhat emotional.
This journey to the Primordial World, after deducting the Ingot needed to exchange for the second-tier Ancient Archon origin (Fake), left him with one hundred and forty-four trillion yuan Ingots.
Compared to the over thirty trillion yuan Ingots needed for a cultivation breakthrough, this one hundred and forty-four trillion Ingots was undoubtedly a huge sum.
Once he returned to the sun in the Real World and completed the process of Body Transformation World, he would then become a Chaos Immortal.
"Chaos Immortal… once I become a Chaos Immortal, my destiny will be so great that not even my mentor could withstand it, then…"
"Sigh!"
Xuanqing sighed, but his mind recalled the words of Taiqing Moral Heavenly Venerable from before.
When becoming a Chaos Immortal, that would be the day his fate with the Taoist sect ended, and also the day his fate as a disciple of Taishang Laojun ended.
However.
He was never one to indulge in sentimentality.
Moreover, the pursuit of the "Great Dao" was always a solitary path, and no matter how great the obstacles, nothing could stop his march forward.
Regaining his composure, he stepped onto a new journey once more.
His target… Endless Chaos beyond the bounds of Primordial World!
Xuanqing's eyes were resolute.
With a wave of the whisk in his hand, he easily shattered the Primordial World, creating a rift before him.
Afterward.
His figure flashed, making use of Spatial Rule Teleportation to leave Primordial World.
…
…
Accompanied by a brief dizziness.
Xuanqing opened his eyes.
The scene that met his gaze was an expanse of void, just like the one he had seen in the projection of the Pangu God before.
By his side.
There was a crystal ball emitting a faint light, but in this void where not even light existed, this glimmer was ineffectual.
Just as Xuanqing was surveying his surroundings…
A voice sounded in his ear!
"Xuanqing boy?" Taiqing Daode Tianzun looked surprised.
"Disciple pays respect to Uncle Teacher!"
Xuanqing quickly redirected his attention and gave a bow to Taiqing Daode Tianzun, then he explained:
"Disciple has inquired into the secrets of Primordial World and learned of the matters of the ten great Gods and Devils, and thought to venture outside the Primordial World to see if there was any way to be of help."
Upon hearing this.
Taiqing Daode Tianzun's expression changed, and he sternly reprimanded, "Reckless! You, a mere Half-step Chaos cultivation, how dare you come to such a perilous place?"
For him, the Xuanqing before him was not just the disciple of his own incarnation but also pivotal to the survival of the Primordial World.
Especially since… he had already felt the Primordial World regain a small portion of vitality. Although it was still a distance away from full recovery, it proved one thing… this lad truly possessed the ability to save the Primordial World.
If Xuanqing encountered danger or death outside of the Primordial World, wouldn't it mean that the last hope for the Primordial World was extinguished?
And so.
Taiqing Daode Tianzun was so unsettled.
Yet.
In the face of his uncle teacher's reproach,
Xuanqing smiled easily and then explained, "Disciple possesses the Resurrection Divine Power, even if my True Spirit perishes, I can be reborn."
In fact.
During the course of his conversation with Taiqing Daode Tianzun just now, he had already silently inquired the quantifier in his mind if the Endless Chaos World outside was part of the Game World, and if there were new maps to be discovered, among other questions.
In the end.
The result he received was that this Endless Chaos outside the Primordial World was still within the scope of the first map, and all functions of the quantifier were operating normally.
This meant that he, Xuanqing, could freely use the most powerful divine power he had attained up to this moment in the Endless Chaos… self-destruction!
"
Chapter 549: Chapter 386: Within a Hundred Years, the Primordial Era Will End!_1
Just as Taiqing Daode Tianzun was about to say something else.
Suddenly.
"Don't move from this spot!" Taiqing Daode Tianzun's expression changed; leaving behind these words, his figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot.
???
Xuanqing was taken aback.
Why did he suddenly leave when everything was fine..?
Could it be that the ten Great Demon Gods have come to invade again, and it's very dangerous, which is why his expression suddenly changed?
Although this was his guess, since his great-teacher's ancestor had instructed him not to leave this place, he would not act rashly.
….
In fact, it was almost as Xuanqing had speculated.
On this side.
Outside the void.
The ten Great Demon Gods had already gathered completely.
One of them, a man dressed in a black robe radiating a powerful and foreboding aura with long black hair cascading down his back, was staring intently at the void.
Behind him were nine other various-looking Demon Gods, each emanating an unparalleled savage strength.
Besides these.
A dense and uncountable army of lesser demon gods surrounded the crystal ball-created void, merely waiting for the command of the Demon Gods to rush into the void where the crystal ball was.
The leader.
Was the same Wutian Demon God who had last attacked the Primordial World.
Of course.
The 'Wutian' here is not the Wutian from the sequel to Journey to the West; to be more precise, the Wutian from the sequel to Journey to the West is simply a projection produced under the influence of the Demon God Wutian.
In other words, the Wutian from the sequel to Journey to the West can be said to be the Demon God Wutian, but the Demon God Wutian is not the Wutian from the sequel to Journey to the West.
It may sound a bit confusing, but that's the reality.
At this moment.
Apart from the ten Great Demon Gods joining forces to come here.
The six great Sages of the Primordial World were also bracing themselves, ready to face an imminent fierce battle.
"These ten Great Demon Gods have actually put aside their differences and joined forces… We are probably in danger!" Yuqing Lingbao Tianzun said solemnly.
Upon hearing this.
Shangqing Tongtian and Taiqing Daode Tianzun nodded their heads, they had a vague guess in their hearts as to why the other party would join forces.
Perhaps… it was because they felt the Origin of the Primordial World had suddenly become abundant, recovering to the state of Ancient Times.
Once the Primordial World returns to its former glory, by then… the entire world will be a solid unity, and the plans of these Gods and Devils over countless Yuan Convention years will fall through.
"We are the Chaos Immortals within this realm, and also the Sages of the Primordial World; if need be, we will sacrifice ourselves for our cause," Nuwa said with sharp eyes and a cold voice.
Adjacent to her.
Two Sages of the West, Zhunti and Jieyin, looked at each other, but they didn't speak, merely making their already-unpleasant faces even more unsightly.
However.
No matter what the six great Sages thought.
The entire army of the ten Great Demon Gods had already assembled, each looking at the only shining crystal ball in the void with bloodthirsty and greedy eyes.
"Kill!"
With a wave of Wutian Demon God's hand.
The nine other Great Demon Gods, leading the massive army of Lesser Demon Gods, charged towards the six Sages, for they knew, to obtain the Primordial World within the crystal ball, they must first kill these six Chaos Immortals.
Whoosh~
Countless lesser demon gods rushed to the front, only to die en masse under the divine powers of the six Sages, like dumplings dropped into boiling water.
Wutian Demon God watched all this indifferently, also looking for an opportunity to strike from the shadows.
These ten Great Demon Gods had never expected these lesser demon gods to accomplish much; their sole purpose was to distract the six Sages, thus creating an opportunity for the ten Great Demon Gods to strike.
….
….
The battle outside the void was raging.
Next to the crystal ball.
Xuanqing was getting a bit bored from waiting, so he decided to sit cross-legged and meditate to conserve his energy.
He planned to ask Taiqing Daode Tianzun about the 'ten Great Demon Gods' once he was done with his affairs or look for an opportunity to confront the ten Great Demon Gods himself.
He didn't know how much time had passed.
Suddenly.
A figure rushed over rapidly and eventually stopped next to the crystal ball.
Xuanqing opened his eyes.
He saw a woman with a pale face and a serpent's body, her aura weak like a thread, seemingly on the verge of death.
The newcomer was Nuwa from among the six Sages; after giving Xuanqing a glance, she did not speak and placed her hand on the crystal ball, connecting with the Origin of the Primordial World.
Humming~
Accompanied by a mysterious Taoist rhythm pulsing from the crystal ball, Nuwa's injuries rapidly healed, eventually restoring her to her peak condition.
After doing all this.
Nuwa finally opened her eyes.
Still having no time to say anything, she nodded toward Xuanqing as a greeting, and finally turned into a streak of light, darting back to the battlefield outside the void.
…
Witnessing this scene.
Xuanqing pondered silently.
The woman he had just seen, with a human head and serpent's body, had an aura so immense that it gave him a feeling similar to that of his great-teacher's ancestor, Daode Tianzun.
Combined with the words of his great-grandteacher, Taishang Laojun, it was not hard to guess that this woman with a human head and serpent's body was the legendary… Nuwa!
That Nuwa, according to the likeness of Pangu Father God, who created the Primordial Human Race!
"The expression of my great-teacher's ancestor changed drastically and he left in haste just now, and now this sage Nuwa has returned gravely injured, this situation… doesn't bode well!"
Xuanqing muttered to himself, slightly contemplative.
…
As he hesitated whether to continue heeding his great-teacher's ancestor's words to stay here and wait, or to leave this void to take a look around.
He saw… yet another figure flying over to stop by the side of the crystal ball.
And this time.
Chapter 550: 386
It was actually his grandmaster… Taiqing Daode Tianzun!
"Grandmaster!"
Xuanqing couldn't help but call out.
Just like Nuwa previously, Taiqing Daode Tianzun didn't speak and simply placed his hand on the crystal ball.
Moments later.
"Huff~" Taiqing Daode Tianzun recovered, opened his eyes to look at Xuanqing, his expression somewhat complex.
"Xuanqing, you… should go back to your own world!"
Unexpectedly.
The first words out of Taiqing Daode Tianzun's mouth were these?
Xuanqing looked a bit astonished, then couldn't help but continue to ask, "Grandmaster, is it that you can't hold on any longer?"
"Yes!"
Taiqing Daode Tianzun nodded, his expression somewhat grim, and after being silent for a while, he continued to speak:
"For some unknown reason, the ten great Gods and Devils set aside their past grievances and concentrated all their power on the formless Gods and Devils. Even with us, the sages of Primordial, fighting desperately, we could only manage to repel it."
"Several hundred years… no, perhaps within a hundred years, we will no longer be able to hold on. Along with the demise of Primordial, we will also perish."
"So… you should go!"
Having said that.
Taiqing Daode Tianzun transformed into a streak of flowing light, disappearing into the void like Nuwa had before, clearly going to battle with the ten great Gods and Devils.
….
Once again, he watched Taiqing Daode Tianzun leave.
A hint of an inexplicable color flickered in Xuanqing's eyes.
The ten great Gods and Devils…. within a hundred years…
From what Taiqing Daode Tianzun just said, it could be known that the Primordial World could last at least a hundred more years.
"It's just unknown what the Time Ratio outside Primordial is compared to the Real World, but… a hundred years should be enough!"
"Let's first try out the mettle of these Gods and Devils!"
Xuanqing's eyes were determined, but in his heart, he had already made a decision.
As long as the function of the Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device could be used normally, he wouldn't have to worry about dying and dissipating.
Even if he was ultimately banned, he could just start over with a new account; at most, he would lose all his current Cultivation.
The next moment.
His figure flashed, leaving the vicinity of the crystal ball, pursuing the footsteps of his grandmaster Taiqing Daode Tianzun, heading beyond the void.
Just as Xuanqing had barely left.
Buzzing~
The crystal ball radiated brilliantly.
An illusory shadow condensed above the crystal ball, revealing itself to be… the illusory shadow of Pangu.
The eyes of this Pangu illusory shadow followed Xuanqing's retreating figure, flashing with a hint of admiration.
Immediately after.
The Pangu illusory shadow turned into specks of starlight and dissipated above the crystal ball.
If Xuanqing had seen this scene, he would have certainly doubted—had the Pangu God truly perished? Or was there another method by which he continued to exist?
….
Xuanqing would not see this scene.
At this moment.
After breaking through the void!
Xuanqing found himself on a battlefield rife with combat.
The turbulent Chaos Energy and the fluctuations left behind by the use of divine powers permeated the surrounding space, and everywhere one looked there were oddly shaped lesser demon gods.
Not far away.
Two vast powers were colliding, and the mere shockwaves from their encounter caused a great number of gods and lesser devils to perish.
On closer inspection!
It was the Sage Nuwa battling a god and devil who had two horns on its head and three tails behind its back.
Nuwa, wielding a willow branch, swept it through the air, ripples of Taoist rhyme spreading delicately, looking very graceful, yet it also contained formidable power.
But that two-horned, three-tailed monster was no ordinary foe; relying on its incredibly powerful physical body and god soul, it actually managed to withstand Nuwa's divine powers.
Boom!
After enduring a hit, the two-horned three-tailed god and devil expelled a stream of black qi from its mouth towards Nuwa, and its horns also followed the black qi, thrusting forward.
"Not good!"
The color drained from Nuwa's face, and as she brandished her vine, she managed to dissipate the blackness but was unable to attend to the rushing horns.
Splurt~
Golden blood surged forth.
Without a moment to think.
Nuwa swiftly retreated, entering the void as before, seeking to use the crystal ball formed by the Primordial World for recovery.
However.
Only when she looked back did she realize that outside the empty space, apart from those densely-packed monsters, there was now a young man wearing a Taoist robe.
"Is that the extra-territorial creature who can save the Primordial, the disciple of Taiqing Daoist Friend?"
Nuwa cried out in alarm.
Nonetheless.
Feeling the presence of the two-horned gods and devils approaching from behind, she couldn't afford to ask any questions and swung her vine again.
"Danger, run quickly!"
Swish~
The vine wrapped around Xuanqing, pulling him into the void space where the crystal ball was, finally arriving beside the crystal ball.
Just like before.
Nuwa closed her eyes and placed her hand on the crystal ball.
Accompanied by the motion of the Origin from within the crystal ball of the Primordial World, all her injuries were healed.
"Her Highness Nuwa, I, humble…"
"Do not go out, danger lurks!"
Just as Xuanqing was about to say something, he saw that the Sage Nuwa had already recovered. With a twist of her serpentine body, she disappeared on the spot, leaving Xuanqing alone beside the crystal ball.
…
At this moment.
Beside the crystal ball.
Xuanqing was a bit dumbfounded.
What's happening here, he had just stepped out to take a look and, once again, had been pulled back by Her Highness Nuwa.
"Let's take another look!"
Xuanqing sighed and changed direction, then he manipulated the Rule of Law to tear open the void and entered the Endless Chaos.
…
Once more appearing.
The scene that came into view was still the battlefield.
Only, due to the change in direction, this time he did not appear next to Nuwa but beside his grand tutor, Taiqing Daode Tianzun.
"Xuanqing lad, you…"
Seeing his disciple emerge from the void space where the crystal ball was, Taiqing Daode Tianzun was extremely surprised.
"Did I not tell you to leave this place and return to your own world?"
Taiqing Daode Tianzun scolded him.
As he spoke.
He swung his duster, killing a large number of lesser demon gods and incidentally engaging in a bout with an oddly-shaped god and devil.
On the surface, Taiqing Daode Tianzun seemed much more powerful than Nuwa, but in reality… the gap between these two Sages wasn't so large.
Firstly, that two-horned and triple-tailed demon god was the second strongest existence among the ten great demon gods, besides Wu Tian.
Secondly, Taiqing Daode Tianzun, a divine thought left by Pangu, was indeed somewhat stronger than a native of the Primordial World like Nuwa.
"Grand Tutor, do not forget that your disciple possesses an Undying Body, so let me try these gods and devils!"
This time.
Xuanqing hurriedly began to explain.
He was afraid that if he were too late, his Grand Tutor would, just like Her Highness Nuwa before, directly throw him back into that empty space.
Upon hearing this.
Taiqing Daode Tianzun was stunned, and then uncertainly asked: "In this Endless Chaos, can you also die and be resurrected, even if your True Spirit is annihilated?"
This was somewhat too inconceivable for him.
In fact.
He had known from his avatar's memories about Xuanqing's affairs in the Primordial and that the other could resurrect within the Primordial World, even explosively sacrificing his God Soul and still managing to come back to life.
But having such a divine power of resurrection within the Primordial World was not too strange, as many innate holy beings were capable of it.
For example, Ancestor of the Styx River from the Blood Sea deep in the Netherworld could resurrect as long as the Blood Sea did not dry up, even if his God Soul was ground down.
Furthermore, even these Sages, whose Divine thoughts were entrusted to the Heavenly Path of the Primordial, could effortlessly achieve resurrection.
But there were significant restrictions to these abilities.
For instance, Ancestor of the Styx River could only claim this as long as the Blood Sea did not dry up; if the Blood Sea were to wither, then his death would be final.
Even these six Sages, to always have the 'undying' attribute, must stay near the void space around the crystal ball transformed from the Primordial World.
If they strayed too far or the Origin Power of the Primordial World was exhausted, these immortal Sages would likewise perish!
While Taiqing Daode Tianzun was lost in thought.
A few lesser demon gods had already charged over, among them one that had disguised itself, attempting to use this ruse for a stealth attack.
However.
"Vile beasts, you dare attempt an ambush in the presence of this Venerable!" Taiqing Daode Tianzun bellowed in anger.

Chapter 551: Chapter 387: The Shock of Taiqing Daode Tianzun!_1
With his realm, even if he were distracted, he wouldn't be approachable by those little gods and devils who were merely at the Half-step Chaos Immortal level.
Even if there was a real god or devil hidden amongst them, as long as it wasn't a peerless god or devil, or the powerful one with two horns and three tails that Nuwa had faced, in front of Taiqing Daode Tianzun, they wouldn't be worth a second glance.
Seeing this scene.
On the side.
Xuanqing's heart stirred, and he shouted to his mentor beside him, "Master, please leave one for your disciple."
As he spoke.
He then charged at one of the 'little gods and devils'.
Ironically enough.
This particular little god or devil was the one truly disguised as a god or devil, and upon seeing Xuanqing attack, it felt both shocked and furious!
It could sense that the youngster in front of it did not have the qi of a Chaos Immortal from within the realm, and his cultivation was only at the Half-step Chaos level.
It seemed… that the opponent must be an indigenous person from the targeted world!
Fury!
An indigenous person, not even a Chaos Immortal of this realm, dared to rush toward a god or devil that existed in the Endless Chaos.
"Die~"
The little god or devil tore off its disguise, reverting to its original form, its body giving off black mist, with a pair of heads full of sharp teeth, ferociously diving at Xuanqing.
"Be careful…"
The complexion of Taiqing Daode Tianzun changed, and he tried to intervene with a flick of his whisk in hand, but he was blocked by a group of little gods and devils.
In an instant.
Under the whisk of Taiqing Daode Tianzun, those little gods and devils, at the same realm as Xuanqing and only Half-step Chaos Immortals, were instantaneously dissipated.
But it was in this fleeting moment.
Xuanqing had already faced off against this true god or devil.
"Heaven Devouring Saintly Art!"
He activated his cultivation techniques, frantically mobilizing the world power within his body, imbuing it into his fist, and launching an attack at the god or devil with the sharp-toothed head.
Boom!
First came a loud noise, followed by… the sound of being smashed into a pulp.
Splat~
In just an instant of contact.
Xuanqing's physical body was directly pierced through by the sharp teeth of the little god or devil, bursting open with a violent force of chaos in the end.
Then… there was no 'then', as Xuanqing turned into a mist of blood, with even his God Soul being extinguished in the blink of an eye.
Done for!
Not far away.
Seeing this scene.
The expression of Taiqing Daode Tianzun changed, and just as he was about to show a look of sorrow, he discovered that another surprise had occurred.
Hum~
The blood mist in the vicinity disappeared out of thin air. Immediately after, a young Taoist priest appeared, dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a whisk, the other hand still clenched in a fist.
It was Xuanqing!
This figure was none other than Xuanqing, who had just performed Resurrecting on the Spot.
"He can… he can actually resurrect?"
Taiqing Daode Tianzun was dumbfounded.
Just now, he had clearly seen that under the attack of that commanding god or devil, Xuanqing's Physical Body, God Soul, and even True Spirit had all been completely obliterated.
Yet in the blink of an eye, he had resurrected, and the qi on his body showed no signs of decline, as if the death just now had never happened at all.
….
Not only was Taiqing Daode Tianzun shocked.
This moment.
The commanding god or devil, with a head full of teeth, was completely stupefied in place. It touched its own head… even doubting whether there was something wrong with its mind.
At this time.
A dazzling light erupted, and Xuanqing unleashed his most powerful technique… which was…
"Self-Destruction!"
Physical Body, God Soul, and even True Spirit transformed into vast power, bursting out instantaneously.
This fleeting power had surpassed the limit of a Half-step Chaos Immortal and had even touched the realm of a 'Chaos Immortal'.
Boom, boom, boom~
The commanding god or devil's face changed, but it was too late to avoid it, forced to take the hit head-on.
"Roar~"
Agony!
Intense agony!
Despite its powerful Physical Body and God Soul, barely surviving the self-destruction, it suffered significant injuries.
The reason for this was that the god or devil had been careless, first shocked by how Xuanqing had resurrected, and then completely unprepared for the opponent's self-destruction.
If it had been prepared, this mere touch of 'Chaos Immortal'-level power in the self-destruction would not have left it in such a sorry state.
What was more important was.
The commanding god or devil feared that if the Sage within the realm took the opportunity to make a move, then it would be finished.
It's often said that what you fear will come to pass.
One saw a whisk rapidly enlarging in front of it, and eventually, the whisk containing the enormous power of the Primordial struck its body.
Splat~
In an instant.
Seriously wounded and dying!!
"Now is the time…"
The face of Taiqing Daode Tianzun changed, ready to take advantage of its weakness and end its life, to reduce the enemy's numbers.
Whoosh~
A gust of Black Wind passed by.
The commanding god or devil that had been on the brink of death had vanished, leaving only a pitch-black figure in its place.
A god of the lawless heavens!
It was the god of the lawless heavens who had intervened!
"Hoo~"
A hint of regret flashed in the eyes of Taiqing Daode Tianzun, so close to causing the enemy to lose a member.
Even though this commanding god or devil was at the bottom tier among the ten gods and devils, it was still a Chaos Immortal level god or devil. Dispatching it would have taken some pressure off the Six Sages.
"Master!"
A familiar voice rang out, and the already self-destructed Xuanqing appeared next to him once more.
This moment.
Taiqing Daode Tianzun looked at his disciple with an extremely odd expression, as if trying to see through how exactly he managed to accomplish all this.

Chapter 552: Chapter 387: The Shock of Taiqing Daode Tianzun!_2
"Xuanqing, lad… how on earth did you achieve this?"
"It's just my Divine Power, Grand Ancestor," Xuanqing said with a wave of his hand, speaking offhandedly.
Upon hearing this.
The Taiqing Daode Tianzun nodded, his heart still filled with incredible shock. Yet, given the unfathomable vastness of the Endless Chaos, where the types of creatures were beyond measure.
In such circumstances, any kind of divine power could exist, and the one possessed by Xuanqing was indeed inconceivable.
"Having such a Divine Power, I am relieved," said the Taiqing Daode Tianzun, stroking his beard.
"However, you should leave soon—the Primordial World… may not last much longer."
The Taiqing Daode Tianzun spoke solemnly.
Although Xuanqing's arrival had severely injured that commander's minion of Gods and Devils, it did not mean that the Primordial World would survive.
Previously, the ten major Gods and Devils had their feuds, and even when attacking, they only appeared individually, necessitating only careful vigilance.
But for some unknown reason, the ten Gods and Devils, once hostile to each other, had now united.
Considering the Origin Power of the Primordial World… it probably could not hold on for long. It might even perish within a hundred years due to the depletion of its Origin Power.
This moment.
Hearing his Grand Ancestor instruct him to leave again, Xuanqing couldn't help but speak, "Grand Ancestor, your disciple can create Ancient Archon Origin Power. Could it be possible to keep the Primordial World going for a bit longer?"
However, upon hearing this.
The Taiqing Daode Tianzun, while annihilating a group of little Gods and Devils, waved his hand helplessly and said:
"A good cook can't cook without rice. The Primordial World's incense has been exhausted. Even if you have the ability to create Origin Power, there is no incense for you to use it on!"
Umm…
Xuanqing was somewhat embarrassed.
After a moment of silence.
He said softly, "Well, Grand Ancestor, your disciple still has some surplus, enough to create some Ancient Archon Origin Power. It should allow the Primordial World to persist a little longer!"
No sooner had he spoken.
"There's no need for that,"
The Taiqing Daode Tianzun, however, revealed a smile, appearing to have expected this response, yet not caring in the slightest.
Perhaps.
To him, if there were no major Gods and Devils, even if he knew Xuanqing had collected a high amount of incense, as long as it could save the Primordial World, what would it matter?
Others might have commitments to the Taoist sect due to incense relations, but they were ultimately not beings of the Primordial World and had no obligation to help for free.
As for now…
It was even less necessary. Even if he allowed his disciple from another realm to create some more Ancient Archon Origin Power, what would it matter? It would eventually be defeated under the joint assault of the ten major Gods and Devils.
"Just go. A little more time, a little less—it doesn't make much of a difference. That is the fate of the Primordial World,"
The Taiqing Daode Tianzun waved his hand again, his voice tinged with sorrow.
Nevertheless.
Sorrowful as he was, his actions did not stop for a moment. His Duster continuously swept through the air, slaying group after group of little Gods and Devils.
At the same time, he was on the lookout for any of the ten major Gods and Devils disguised among them.
"Grand Ancestor, please hold on longer!"
Xuanqing's expression was serious.
Then.
Without waiting for the Taiqing Daode Tianzun to respond, he continued to say, "Your disciple understands what you want to say, but… please consider, if your disciple were to self-destruct right now, he could injure that God or Devil from earlier."
"If your disciple attains the realm of Chaos Immortal and then employs the Self-destruction Art, could he not kill that God or Devil from earlier?"
No sooner had he spoken!
Boom!
The Taiqing Daode Tianzun's body trembled, and his heart became lively again.
Right, if his disciple attained the realm of Chaos Immortal and then self-destructed, even the most powerful heaven-defying Gods and Devils would probably not be able to escape unscathed.
If this were coupled with the assistance of the several other Great Sages, wouldn't they have the opportunity to kill the Gods and Devils, to leave them no way out?
One must understand.
The current situation between the Primordial World and the ten major Gods and Devils was like a balance scale with equal weights on both sides.
Without external interference, the side with the six Great Sages would eventually be defeated due to the consumption of the Primordial World's Origin Power.
But if Xuanqing were to intervene, the situation would be entirely different. It would be like adding a weight to an originally balanced scale, immediately tipping the odds in favor of the Primordial World.
"
However,
all of this is on the premise that Xuanqing can break through the foundation and become a Chaos Immortal.
With Xuanqing's current cultivation of half-step Chaos Immortal, even if he were to employ the Self-destruction Art, he could only manage to injure an entity ranked at the bottom of the top ten Gods and Devils.
Moreover, the reason why the commanding God or Devil suffered such injuries was solely because he did not react in time and did not defend or dodge.
Half-step Chaos Immortal, Chaos Immortal—though there seems to be just half a step between them, this half step represents two completely different heavens and earth.
The former is still bound by the world of creatures' origin, while the latter can transcend the world and enter a much vaster heaven and earth, the Endless Chaos.
With this thought in mind,
Taiqing Daode Tianzun asked, "Xuanqing, although you possess exceptional talent and even the Bloodline of Father God, to prove the Dao and become a Chaos Immortal…."
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing slightly pondered.
He quickly calculated in his heart.
According to the quantifier, the Time Ratio within the Endless Chaos is 'one to one' compared to the Real World.
If, as the Great Ancestor Teacher said, it takes several hundred years, or even just a hundred years, for the Primordial World to be breached, it means that he has at least a hundred years of Real World time.
Currently, his cultivation progress in the Swallow Heaven Saint Art's final step, Body Transformation into the World. has reached sixty-seven percent.
Continuing on, it will take a little more than one year at most to elevate the cultivation progress to one hundred percent.
Of course,
the process of transforming into a Chaos Immortal and increasing the cultivation progress does not actually consume much time.
What consumes the most time is elevating the cultivation progress to one hundred percent and then undergoing the final metamorphosis.
"A hundred years of time… should be more than enough, and moreover…. as the Great Ancestor Teacher said, how long one can withstand depends on how much Origin is left in the Primordial World. In that case…."
Soon,
Xuanqing had an idea in his heart.
He then spoke, "Great Ancestor Teacher, your disciple is confident that he can break through to Chaos Immortal within a hundred years."
"To be on the safe side, this disciple can further replenish some Origin for the Primordial World. By then… it should be foolproof."
This declaration made Taiqing Daode Tianzun turn sorrow into joy.
"Very good, very good~"
A thrill filled Taiqing Daode Tianzun's heart, and he repeated 'very good' thrice. After a long while, he finally calmed down.
Afterward,
he patted Xuanqing's shoulder with a look of anticipation in his eyes and said solemnly, "Xuanqing, the safety of the Primordial World… is now entrusted to you!"
"Yes,"
Xuanqing nodded seriously and said, "Then please Great Ancestor Teacher hold on a little longer, your disciple will now go and make the breakthrough."
As his words fell,
whoosh!
He plunged into the battlefield before him, his Qi suddenly bursting forth.
Accompanied by a 'boom', his entire body, God Soul, and True Spirit exploded, executing the Self-destruction Art once again.
"Damn it!"
Countless little demons were blown to death, and among them was actually another God or Devil preparing for a sneak attack, who was revealed by Xuanqing's Self-destruction Art and had to turn into a wisp of black smoke to flee.
Seeing this scene,
Taiqing Daode Tianzun's eyelids twitched slightly.
Even though he had just witnessed it, seeing Xuanqing employ the Self-destruction Art once more, he still found it hard to accept.
There are thousands of potent divine powers, but to use 'self-explosion' as a means of attack is indeed too bizarre for words.
"Let's hope the young xuanqing really can save the Primordial World, only… by then, he will have to be called 'Daoist Friend Xuanqing' for life~"
Looking in the direction where Xuanqing disappeared, Taiqing Daode Tianzun remained silent for a long time.
…..
….
In the Primordial World,
After returning to Black Wind Mountain,
like before, he first gathered all his subordinates in the Dao Court's martial practice field then flew up into the sky.
"Everyone, calm your minds and prepare to run your cultivation techniques!" Xuanqing, floating in the air, commanded in a clear voice.
"
Chapter 553: Chapter 388: Body Transformation World, Fusion!_1
After everyone was ready,
With a thought,
"Purchase forty-four trillion of second-rank Ancient Archon Origin (Fake)!"
[Ding…-44 trillion ingots!]
As the ingots were deducted, a massive group of the Ancient Archon Origin appeared in his Game Backpack.
"Go!"
The moment Xuanqing waved his sleeves, he took out all of the second-rank Ancient Archon Origin and then tossed it towards the sky.
Humming~
Forty-four trillion ingots fell from the sky like torrential heavy rain, landing on the Martial Arts Arena of the Taichu Dao Court.
In an instant,
Heaven and Earth trembled.
A thread of Innate Essence split into two, then rapidly expanded, turning into even more Innate Spiritual Qi.
The concentration was rapidly increasing.
The center of Black Wind Sacred Mountain's Dao Court Martial Arts Arena, although not as dense as the primordial Primordial era, had now returned to the state it was during the Conferment of Gods war.
During this process,
All disciples of the Taichu Dao Court did not dare to waste a single moment, concentrating to cycle their Cultivation Techniques and absorb as much of the Dao Rhythms as possible.
…
After a long time,
On the Martial Arts Arena,
The Black Bear Essence opened his eyes, the aura on his body suddenly erupted, exuding a heavy and imposing might of the earth.
He had broken through!
As one of the several elders of the Taichu Dao Court, he became the second creature to achieve the Great Luo realm after the Gentleman Bai She..
At the side,
The faces of the Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals showed envy as they stepped forward to congratulate, "Congratulations, congratulations to Elder Black Bear for attaining the Great Luo realm!"
"Hehe, it's all thanks to Sir's promotion," the black bear chuckled foolishly.
Upon hearing this,
The hearts of the Three Immortals were filled with envy~
It was known,
That with a breakthrough to the Great Luo realm, one had essentially stepped into the ranks of the 'Experts,' and only needed time to inevitably transform into a Quasi-Sage.
The Three Immortals had no idea how many years they practiced to breakthrough to the Great Luo realm back then.
Yet, this Black Bear Essence had managed to easily achieve the realm of Great Luo in merely a thousand years, safely relying on the massive ship that was the Taichu Dao Court.
…
While Black Bear Essence chatted with the Three Immortals,
Xuanqing descended from the sky and came beside Black Bear Essence, asking, "Black Bear, now that you have attained Great Luo, have you thought about which path you will take to attain Quasi-sage?"
Hearing this,
The Black Bear Essence scratched his head, his expression showing a hint of confusion.
Although his foundational bloodline was not bad, the fact that he had reached this point was mostly due to the luck of Taichu Dao Court.
"I… I don't know," the Black Bear Essence replied in a muffled voice.
As soon as he said this,
"Hehe!"
Xuanqing chuckled and shook his head, then gestured to the Gentleman Bai She who was not far away to come over.
"Sir?" the Gentleman Bai She asked, puzzled.
Following that,
Xuanqing's gaze swept over both the Gentleman Bai She and Black Bear Essence as he solemnly said, "Qingxu, Black Bear."
"Ever since I came to this world, you two have followed by my side, and after so many years you have worked diligently, which I find very gratifying."
"In a while, I will grant both of you the Ancient Archon Bloodline!"
The Ancient Archon Bloodline?
The Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She were somewhat puzzled; they had never heard of this bloodline. However, seeing the solemn expression on their master's face, it was evidently not an average foundational bloodline.
"Sir, what is this Ancient Archon Bloodline, and why have we never heard of it?" the Black Bear Essence asked with a hopeful look in his eyes.
At the side,
The Gentleman Bai She also pricked up his ears, as he already possessed the Luck Golden Dragon bloodline. However, from his master's intention, it seemed he wanted to replace their Luck Golden Dragon bloodlines with the 'Ancient Archon Bloodline.'
From this, it seemed that the Ancient Archon Bloodline was definitely a more formidable foundational bloodline than the Destiny Golden Dragon body.
"The so-called Ancient Archon Bloodline, you may understand it as a bloodline that shares the same origin as the Pangu God who created Heaven and Earth!"
Xuanqing spoke in a profound tone.
Upon hearing this,
Boom~
Th… The bloodline of the Pangu God?
The Black Bear Essence and Gentleman Bai She's lips trembled, their pupils shrinking to pinpoints due to the sheer shock.
It turned out that the 'Ancient' in Ancient Archon Bloodline was actually referring to the ancient Pangu God!
What's more significant was the possibility of a powerful bloodline being metamorphosed afterwards?
In the Primordial World of cultivation, it was common knowledge that some things, if not born with them, would never be possessed in a lifetime, and that very thing was… a bloodline.
Even the 'Destiny Golden Dragon body,' a bloodline achieved later in life, was already an incredibly defy-the-heavens matter, which required extremely stringent conditions to obtain.
All the more, the bloodline of Pangu God, revered by all living creatures as the 'Father God,' could not possibly be formed afterwards.
If it was anyone else telling this to the Gentleman Bai She and the Black Bear Essence, they would not believe a word of it.
But this was said by their own master, which made it different. In the eyes of the Black Bear Essence and the Gentleman Bai She, their own master was an omnipotent existence.
It wasn't just about granting them the Ancient Archon Bloodline; even if he told them they could create a new Primordial World, they wouldn't have the slightest doubt.
…
After a long time,
Both calmed down and immediately knelt on the ground, giving their master the most profound bow of prostration.
"Disciple… Thanks Sir!"
"Disciple… Thanks Sir!"
…
On the side,
The Three Immortals watched this scene, once again a tinge of envy flickering in their eyes.
Although the Three Immortals didn't know what the Master of the Primordial Beginning had said to Elder Gentleman Bai She and Elder Black Bear Essence, judging by the demeanor of the two elders, they undoubtedly had received tremendous benefits.

Chapter 554: Chapter 388: Body Transformation World, Fusion!_2
There was no way around it, who could blame them for following a great boss from the start, unlike those like myself who joined later? All I could do was envy!
Of course.
Further away, the Three Emperor siblings of Heaven, Earth, and Man remained calm, not caring in the slightest.
They had already stood at the pinnacle of the Primordial World. Unless they had Hongmeng Purple Qi, no matter how much they cultivated, their Cultivation would not increase.
"I am going into closed-door cultivation for a while to attempt a breakthrough to a higher realm. You two stay outside the palace and, no matter what happens, don't let anyone disturb me!"
Xuanqing instructed Gentleman Bai She and Black Bear Essence.
Following that.
He turned to address the Three Emperors and the Three Immortals of Fu, Lu, and Shou, saying in a clear voice, "I will be in closed-door cultivation for some time. I request the elders of the Three Emperors and the Three Immortals to assist in my protection."
"Yes, Dao Master!" The Three Immortals of Fu, Lu, and Shou cupped their hands in agreement.
The nearby Three Emperors nodded in acknowledgment as well.
Following that.
Xuanqing entered the Main Hall of the Taichu Dao Court.
"Exit Game!"
….
…..
In the real world, on Water Blue Star's Qingping Holy Mountain.
"Hu~"
Xuanqing opened his eyes, awakening from the Game.
This journey to the Primordial World not only netted him a sizable number of Incense Fire Ingots but also made him the savior of the Primordial World.
"Once I become a Chaos Immortal and resolve the crisis of the Primordial World, I can set off to explore the Endless Chaos with peace of mind," Xuanqing murmured softly.
The next moment.
His figure disappeared from Qingping Holy Mountain.
…
Upon reappearing.
Xuanqing was already above the sun.
He did not seek out Ancestor Chi Ying at the core. What was most important for him now was to bring his cultivation progress to one hundred percent and complete the Body Transformation World metamorphosis.
"Devouring Heaven and Earth!"
With just a thought, Xuanqing activated the Swallow Heaven Saint Art, and his entire body instantly grew to the size of several planets.
Countless ethereal roots extended from his body and finally burrowed into the sun, absorbing the Origin Power within this Perpetual Star.
Following that.
"Activate a 100-year time acceleration," Xuanqing silently commanded to himself.
[Beep..-100 trillion Ingots!]
The ethereal roots wildly writhed, and their speed of absorbing the Origin Power skyrocketed many times over, achieving in moments what would have normally taken a hundred years.
The vast Origin Power of the Perpetual Star turned into world power and entered his body.
Daring not to be the least bit careless,
Xuanqing closed his eyes and communicated with over five thousand planets inside him, urging them to merge into one and evolve toward becoming the Great Thousand Worlds.
After absorbing one hundred years' worth of world power and briefly resting, he continued to cultivate his art. Finally, he silently thought to himself:
"Activate a 100-year time acceleration!"
[Beep..-100 trillion Ingots!]
…
"Activate a 100-year time acceleration."
[Beep..-100 trillion Ingots!]
….
Aforementioned routine repeated over and over again.
…
Time slowly passed by.
One year later!
After not knowing how many… cycles of time acceleration, Xuanqing finally brought the last step of the Swallow Heaven Saint Art, the Body Transformation World cultivation progress, to one hundred percent!
"Open Character Panel!"
[Name: Xuanqing
[Faction: Ancient God Clan
[Cultivation: Half-step Chaos Immortal (Pending Metamorphosis)
[Rating: 999
[Ingots: 96.7 quintillion
[Chaos Point Balance: 0
PS: Body Transformation World Cultivation Progress: 100% (Pending Metamorphosis)
His gaze moved to the Character Panel.
There was no change in the "Cultivation" column; it remained at the level of a Half-step Chaos Immortal but with an added suffix of 'Awaiting Metamorphosis,' indicating that a metamorphosis into a Chaos Immortal could happen at any time.
As for the Ingot balance, a staggering 967 trillion remained!
If he hadn't exchanged forty-four trillion for a second-order Ancient Archon Origin (Fake) before leaving the Primordial World, he would have had even more Ingots remaining now.
"Hu!"
Xuanqing took a deep breath, feeling the state within his body that was ready to metamorphose at any moment, and his eyes gradually became resolute.
The next moment.
"Body Transformation World… Metamorphosis!" Xuanqing shouted lowly.
Boom~
…
…
On Water Blue Star.
A transformation that would impact all of humanity appeared alongside Xuanqing's body transformation to metamorphosis.
At this moment.
In Moonlight City.
Yang Ying, Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, and even Huai Qingyun and Cang Qingyu, all members of the Taiji Palace, gathered together.
They convened because they had just received a message from Xuanqing.
Within a hundred years or perhaps mere decades, the entire Solar System was to undergo a tremendous transformation; five thousand planets would fuse into one, forming a new world described as 'heaven round and earth square.'
"This matter will affect every human in the Great Yan Federation; once Water Blue Star metamorphoses into a Great Thousand World, everything will change," Elder Jingde was the first to speak, laying out the issue at hand, then asked, "Do any of you have thoughts on this?"
"Elder Jingde, I believe we should prioritize completing the Shinto and cultivator Law Enforcement Team divisions," Elder Qianqing said with a frown.
Once Water Blue Star metamorphoses into a Great Thousand World, a surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi will emerge.
At that time… the situation where one must rely on 'faith in Main God Taichu' to obtain Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi will completely change.
As the saying goes, with a vast forest comes all kinds of birds. On a base of billions of humans, it would be easy for some lucky ones to gain formidable powers by chance.
Under such circumstances, if not properly regulated, it could lead to great chaos.
The others naturally understood this rationale and nodded in agreement with Yang Ying's words.
"Very well, Elder Qianqing speaks wisely. The matters of Shinto and the Law Enforcement Team will become the first priorities for Taiji Palace," Elder Jingde declared.
"Apart from Shinto and the Law Enforcement Team, what are the plans for the secular world?" Elder Jingde asked, looking towards Yang Ying.
The secular world…
Yang Ying pondered for a moment before responding, "The secular side is relatively straightforward; although the world integration is somewhat tumultuous, the palace lord has said there will be protection from expert divine powers. The main thing is to prepare the public in advance to avoid panic…"
"In addition, after Water Blue Star metamorphoses into a Great Thousand World, the original administrative divisions will change. By then, the internal system of the Federation will likely need to be readjusted…."
…
Years later.
Qingping Holy Mountain.
As the site of God Taichu's cultivation, this place had been designated as sacred land for all humanity, and the small town at the base of the mountain was visited daily by countless cultivators coming to pay homage.
One day.
Ranges of mountains stretched endlessly, shrouded in mist!
Amidst the tranquil scenery of Qingping Holy Mountain, sounds of unusual activity could be heard.
"Squeak~ Squeak.."
Three little squirrels ceased their frolicking and, simultaneously, turned their gazes towards the direction of the Taoist temple atop the mountain.
Then.
Their bodies trembled, as if sensing something immensely terrifying, and one particularly timid squirrel even fainted on the spot.
The next moment.
Boom!
It was like a great sound from heaven and earth, as if echoing directly in the hearts of all creatures. The sunlight in the sky gradually faded, and darkness began to fall upon the ground.
Time passed without knowing how long.
The first strand of Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth was born within the Taoist temple of Qingping Holy Mountain, signaling the start of earth-shattering changes from this point.
…
In the tenth year of darkness on Earth, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi covered the entire Great Yan State region.
By the twentieth year… Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi filled all of Water Blue Star.
During these twenty years, humans living on Water Blue Star, the Moon, Mars… and other planets had already gotten used to days without sunlight.
Even though there was no sunlight, under Xuanqing's control, there was no impact on the livelihoods of creatures living on these planets, not even a single plant died.
…
When time reached the thirtieth year… the heavens and earth trembled.
A glimmer of dawn appeared on the horizon; Water Blue Star, which had not seen the sun for thirty years, welcomed its first gleam of dawn.
At the same time.
The earth began its metamorphosis.
The first world to integrate came, and it was… the Moon!!
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 555: Chapter 389: Sealing Ancestor Chi Ying!_1
"
There are many poems about the Moon, most of them expressing feelings of longing or adoration, all in all, they are rather beautiful reflections.
But when the Moon really started fusing with Earth, it was not such a beautiful thing at all.
Water Blue Star.
Inside a certain villa district.
Lin Yao looked at the Moon growing ever closer, feeling somewhat panicked.
Even though the Great Yan Federation had already issued notices, and there were often educational promotions about this matter.
But when such an event actually happened, he still couldn't suppress the fear in his heart.
"The Moon… it's so huge!" Lin Yao's mouth gaped slightly, his pupils had shrunk to tiny dots.
The next moment.
Boom~
The shaking was like a mountain collapsing and the ground splitting, as if a super earthquake of magnitude twelve had struck; mankind's buildings turned to dust in an instant.
It's over!
We're going to die!
Lin Yao closed his eyes, believing he was done for.
Yet the shaking around him continued; he even got buried by his house, but didn't feel the slightest agony.
Light!
A ring of light enveloped Lin Yao.
"Whoo~"
Lin Yao slowly opened his eyes, realizing the terrifying disaster was still ongoing, while his body was protected by a film of light, with all the rubble and cracks unable to penetrate the slightest bit.
He gently touched it with his hand, feeling warm and soft, as comforting as being back in the womb, his heart couldn't help but feel at ease.
Outside the film, the earth shook and the mountains rocked, as if it were the apocalypse!
Inside the film, warm and gentle, like the womb!
Two completely different worlds provided a novel sensory experience.
After calming down completely.
Lin Yao finally took a moment to observe the miraculous changes brought about by the fusion of these two worlds through the film.
What came into view… aside from the natural disasters and earth movements, was the land growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Yes!
The land seemed to have acquired a life of its own and was growing rapidly.
Lin Yao's home was in building 13, about sixty meters from building 14; but in such a short time, the original sixty meters had become eighty or ninety meters and was still increasing at a rapid rate.
"Is this what the Federation officials said about… Main God Taichu endowing the world with life, nurturing it to grow into a more advanced world?"
At this moment.
A few rings of light flew out from the ruins of building 14 not far away and hovered in midair.
"Hey, it's Brother Wang and his family!"
Lin Yao's heart stirred, thinking of having a chat with Brother Wang's family.
As this thought emerged in his mind, he found the film of light covering him was slowly moving with him.
Eventually.
It truly moved above the airspace of building 14, stopping beside Brother Wang and his family.
"Brother Wang, sister-in-law~"
"It's Little Lin, today was too shocking, could've scared someone to death. Fortunately, we have Main God Taichu's protection, otherwise… with our cultivation of Refining Essence into Qi, we wouldn't have been able to withstand it."
Brother Wang was in his forties, accompanied by an ordinary-looking woman who held a child in her arms.
In fact.
Whether it was Brother Wang or Lin Yao, they were just ordinary laborers.
The reason they could live in the villa district was because the emergence of interstellar migration had made land resources incredibly vast. Now, almost everyone in the Great Yan Federation had their own villa.
"Tell me about it, I almost wet myself just now!"
Lin Yao agreed with a nod, then pointed with his finger at both their houses, curiously saying, "Brother Wang, do you think that if our world has metamorphosed into the Great Thousand Worlds, will it be easier to practice cultivation?"
Upon hearing this.
Brother Wang shook his head; he was just a cultivator of Refining Essence into Qi, how could he understand such profound issues.
"I don't know, but I think the metamorphosis of the world must be a good thing!"
"Yeah, …"
….
The group chattered casually, expressing their shock and awe.
….
Just like the case of Lin Yao and Brother Wang's family, there were countless such situations on Water Blue Star.
Although the commotion was too great, leading to some minor disturbances, because the officials had issued early warnings and had started educating and spreading awareness very early on, these disturbances stayed within controllable limits.
Two hours later.
Water Blue Star finally swallowed the entire Moon. With the naked eye, one could feel the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy becoming somewhat denser.
However.
The film of light covering all of humanity hadn't disappeared yet, because this was only the Moon. There were still countless planets waiting to be assimilated into Water Blue Star.
…
…
The final step of "Swallow Heaven Saint Art"… Body Transformation World!
It involves integrating all the worlds that have been devoured and refined, using the accumulation of their number to create a qualitative change and eventually fuse to form a more advanced world.
This moment.
On the Sun.
Xuanqing sat cross-legged, the aura on his body becoming more profound. He sensed the changes inside him.
"The Moon has completely integrated. Next is Venus!"
"Merge!" Xuanqing operated his cultivation techniques, controlling Venus to fuse toward Water Blue Star.
The reason for merging all the planets into Water Blue Star was because he had originally used Water Blue Star as the basis for the Heaven-swallowing Tree Seed, so Water Blue Star must be the cornerstone to metamorphose into a more advanced world.
Under the lubrication of world power.
Venus and Water Blue Star, two colossal planets, merged into one, becoming even larger and the energy in their cores purer.
In fact.
If it weren't for the lubrication of world power, the collision and fusion of planets would have been an unparalleled disaster.
"
Chapter 556: Chapter 389: Sealing Ancestor Chi Ying!_2
Even with the power of the world as a buffer, the disturbance it caused was not something that the humans of today could endure.
Therefore.
The membranes of light on Water Blue Star were the means by which Xuanqing protected humanity, to prevent the death of humans during the world's metamorphosis.
The fusion continued.
Compared to the Moon, the much larger Venus took a full day before its fusion with Water Blue Star was complete.
….
This moment.
Water Blue Star, compared to its initial state, had expanded in volume by about one half, and the already sparse housing became even sparser.
For example.
In that villa area, Lin Yao's 13 buildings used to be fifty or sixty meters away from Brother Wang's 14 buildings, but after swallowing and fusing with Venus, the distance between them stretched to over a hundred meters.
…..
The fusion with Venus did not make Xuanqing stop his progress, instead, he continued to fuse the remaining planets of the Solar System with Water Blue Star.
In the following time.
They maintained a pace of completely fusing a planet every few days, continuously growing Water Blue Star toward the stature of the Great Thousand Worlds.
What's more interesting.
In this process, the originally spherical Water Blue Star was transforming into a flat, elongated shape under some strange rule.
This meant… when Water Blue Star grew to a certain size, it would take on a shape with round heavens and a squared earth.
….
…
Time slowly passed.
On the sun.
Xuanqing still sat cross-legged in meditation.
Since his initial breakthrough, a full eighty years had elapsed.
With one planet after another merging into Water Blue Star, his aura grew increasingly profound until it reached a certain critical point.
Hum hum~
A breakthrough!
After eighty years, he finally completed the fusion of all worlds and successfully metamorphosed into a Chaos Immortal.
"Hoo~"
Xuanqing opened his eyes, and merely a glance caused the space in front of him to distort, his breath alone could easily tear the fabric of space.
He gently clenched his fist!
Crack.. crack…
Instantly.
The space on the sun shattered, revealing the Endless Chaos World within, with abundant Chaos Energy permeating out.
Terrifying!
It was simply terrifying.
"Compared to before, I am at least a hundred times stronger; no wonder I, using the force of a self-explosion, could only inflict serious harm on it, and that too when the adversary was unprepared," said Xuanqing softly to himself.
Sometimes, without reaching this realm, one could never comprehend how mighty this realm really is.
Put it this way.
If he were to return to the Primordial World now, facing beings of the level of the Tathagata Buddha, it would take but a flick of his finger to snuff them out.
A single finger… just one finger, and it's that terrifying.
Chaos Immortal, Quasi-Saint Perfection, these two realms seem to differ by only one level, but in reality, the gap is as vast as that between humans and ants.
With a single thought.
"Open Character Panel!" Xuanqing silently commanded.
[Name: Xuanqing
[Faction: Ancient God Clan
[Cultivation: Chaos Immortal
[Rating: 1W
[Ingot: 96.7 trillion
[Chaos Point Balance: 0
His gaze fixed on the Character Panel, the Cultivation column had changed from the previous Half-step Chaos Immortal to the current 'Chaos Immortal'.
However.
The most significant change was in the rating, which had grown directly from nine hundred and ninety-nine to ten thousand, increasing tenfold once more.
"I had only a few dozen points when I just made the breakthrough to Half-step Chaos, but now that I've achieved Chaos Immortal, my rating has soared to ten thousand!" Xuanqing mused inwardly.
In the Primordial World, there's a saying, 'Without reaching the state of a Sage, one remains an ant'; he felt that it was the same with Chaos Immortals, without becoming one, you are still considered an ant.
Fortunately, he had now left the ranks of ants behind, successfully proving himself as a Chaos Immortal.
"Now that I have attained the state of Chaos Immortal, it's time to try and see if I can kill that Ancestor Chi Ying!"
Xuanqing stood up, his gaze falling to the earth beneath his feet.
Originally.
He had thought that once he broke through to Chaos Immortal, he would certainly be able to refine the entire sun, and at that time, Ancestor Chi Ying, who was connected to the sun, would naturally only be butchered by him.
However, judging by the current situation, it seemed impossible.
No other reason… the sun was simply too vast.
So vast that even after he had broken through to Chaos Immortal, he still had no way to deal with it.
Even to say.
The origin he consumed to certify and break through to Chaos Immortal was almost insignificant in reducing the mass of the entire sun.
Even if you were to just look at the mass, one sun was equivalent to one million three hundred thousand Earths.
If you were to calculate its energy, it would be even more terrifying. The sun is a perpetual star. It is on the same level as the 'Great Thousand Worlds', while planets are considered Small Thousand Worlds. The disparity between the two was simply too vast.
Such an immense sun was both a good and a bad thing for Xuanqing!
The good thing was that for a very long time to come, he would not need to exhaust his energy searching everywhere for planets to devour.
But there was also a downside, which was that he temporarily had no way to deal with Ancestor Chi Ying on the sun, because Ancestor Chi Ying had become one with the sun. To kill Ancestor Chi Ying, he would have to either exhaust the sun's origin or completely refine the sun.
"It's definitely impossible to kill Ancestor Chi Ying now, but I can still impose some restrictions on him!"
Xuanqing muttered thoughtfully.
In fact.
Murdering Ancestor Chi Ying was not his primary desire. He was more inclined to completely refine the sun so that Ancestor Chi Ying, who was connected to the origin of the sun, would be entirely under his control, which would be like having an additional Chaos Immortal minion.
It was just unknown whether Ancestor Chi Ying was merely a 'Chaos Immortal' or had a higher level of cultivation beyond Chaos Immortal.
"Let's go take a look at Ancestor Chi Ying first!"
Whoosh~
Xuanqing's figure turned into specks of starlight, dissipating on the surface of the sun.
He was actually using 'Spatial Rule Teleportation'!!
In fact!
After his cultivation broke through to Chaos Immortal, he discovered that he could withstand the immense mass of the sun and employ the rule of law in space there.
….
…..
In a special space deep within the sun.
Ancestor Chi Ying hung his head, his eyes lackluster.
Suddenly!
A humming sound vibrated through the space.
A young man clad in a Taoist robe, exuding a strong and solid aura, appeared in this core area.
It was that Ancient Archon!!
Ancestor Chi Ying lifted his head, then suddenly widened his eyes in amazement.
What did he see?
The Ancient Archon who tormented him last time was now enveloped in the aura of 'Chaos Immortal'.
Although Chaos Immortals were mere beginners in the Endless Chaos and, to him, were no more than ants.
But the key point was… last time he saw this youngster, he was not even Half-step chaos… not even close.
How much time had passed since then?
Even the Ancient God Clan couldn't transform into a Chaos Immortal so quickly.
"You…." Ancestor Chi Ying opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he uttered not a word.
Because.
He had cooled off again~
Spurt~
A mist of blood burst forth.
Moments later.
With the replenishment from the sun's origin, Ancestor Chi Ying soon returned to his original state, but he still looked at the Ancient Archon in front of him with shocked eyes.
Spurt~
Ancestor Chi Ying died once more, turning into a fine mist of blood and dust.
"Dust-suppressing Heaven!"
Xuanqing shouted in a low voice, as he swung the whisk in hand, and before Ancestor Chi Ying could be resurrected, he used the Dust-suppressing Heaven combat technique.
Boom~
A sealing technique formed with the motion of the whisk, striking the pillar where Ancestor Chi Ying was located.
Something miraculous occurred.
This time.
Ancestor Chi Ying did not resurrect and remained in a state of blood mist.
However, upon closer observation, it could be seen that this blood mist was actually not completely stationary, but gathering at an extremely sluggish pace.
The reason it appeared to be still was solely due to its excessive slowness. Given enough time, it would eventually resurrect.
This moment.
Xuanqing observed the blood mist reforming into a physical body and roughly estimated the time in his mind.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 557: Chapter 390: Water Blue Star Renamed to Bluewater Realm, Resolving Future Worries!_1
"In about five years, it will regather, and by then… all I need to do is come back early, turn it into a mist of blood, and reseal it, and nothing will go amiss!"
Xuanqing was very satisfied with this result.
After all, the Dust-suppressing Heaven was a battle technique he comprehended with the effects of sealing when he was at the Quasi-sage level. It could still exert effects at the cultivation realm of a Chaos Immortal. What more could he ask for?
Afterwards.
Xuanqing's body disappeared from the sun, but he had already used space travel to return to Water Blue Star's location.
…..
……
At the location of Water Blue Star.
This moment.
It had become extremely empty, and apart from the blazing sun that still cast its light and heat over, there was nothing else.
The reason for this.
Was that after completing the Body Transformation World practice, Water Blue Star had already left this Universe and had become a part of Xuanqing's physical body.
In such circumstances, returning to this starry sky was only because he was accustomed to being in this Star Domain.
"First, change state, then enter into the Primordial World, and settle the ten great Gods and Devils!"
Xuanqing floated in the starry sky and then uttered in a low shout:
"Body Transformation World!"
The next moment.
His physical body disappeared instantly, but this time it was not a use of the Rule of Law but rather becoming the state of an entire world.
If one looked carefully, one would find that at the original coordinates of Water Blue Star, there was now a crystal ball the size of a marble played with in childhood.
"Transforming into the state of a world is somewhat fascinating!"
This moment.
Xuanqing, having performed the Body Transformation World, suddenly felt his 'senses' change, experiencing a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree view in his mind.
This state was very magical, as if he truly became a world, with the feelings of living creatures aside, everything else was identical to the Great Thousand Worlds.
…
Water Blue Star.
Atop the Qingping Holy Mountain.
A semi-transparent illusory shadow slowly appeared, dressed in a Taoist robe, moving with a certain gait, and in its hand, it held a Duster.
"Hoo~"
Xuanqing opened his eyes and extended his hand to touch the air around him.
At this moment, he was not in a physical form, but rather a projection released while in the state of Body Transformation World.
It's worth mentioning that.
After completing Body Transformation World, Water Blue Star had become a part of his physical body, and he could no longer return to Water Blue Star in a physical state.
It's like how you can't enter your own body?
Even if your bird is long and enters the body in another manner, that's not truly entering; it's merely touching.
At most.
Like Xuanqing, using the method of projection to deliver one's God Soul into the physical body is considered an 'advanced' form of introspection.
Afterwards.
Xuanqing floated in the air, observing Water Blue Star through the vision of his God Soul.
At this moment, Water Blue Star…
If one were to describe the first impression it gave with a single word, it would be… huge!
Unbelievably huge!
If Xuanqing did not employ the world power, merely observing in the state of the God Soul, he could not grasp the vast expanse of Water Blue Star as it is now.
Five thousand!
A total of five thousand planets had all merged into Water Blue Star, expanding its original size by five thousand times.
It's worth mentioning that.
The size of Water Blue Star, under the conscious control of Xuanqing, although having expanded five thousand times, the gravity in the world had not changed substantially.
However.
This gravity was not constant and would increase gradually over time until it eventually returned to normal.
Only this way could the humans living on Water Blue Star adapt, otherwise… suddenly increasing gravity by five thousand times would mean death for all creatures except for a very few high-level cultivators.
….
Moreover.
Countless construction teams on Water Blue Star were busily engaged in building projects.
The Water Blue Star, having evolved into a Great Thousand World, was far too vast; all former infrastructures were discarded and could not be used, having to be rebuilt.
Seeing this scene.
Xuanqing had a thought.
Letting the humans on Water Blue Star rebuild such immense projects on their own would take who knows how many years.
Why not let him, the master of the world, take action, and he could complete all the basic constructions and restore the world-fused homes in a moment.
"You whose homes were damaged due to the world's elevation, today I will use the world power to help you rebuild your homes!"
Xuanqing pondered.
Apart from reconstructing the homes of the people living on Water Blue Star.
He also intended to use the world power of the Great Thousand Worlds to enhance their cultivation talents, so they could keep up with the gradually increasing gravity.
Afterwards.
His illusory figure dispersed into snowflake-like specks of light and vanished, still returning to the 'Body Transformation World' state.
"Rise!"
….
…
On Water Blue Star.
At a construction site.
Countless workers operated nuclear fusion-powered engineering vehicles, constructing a supersonic rail line.
Now and then, workers could be seen flying around the construction site, harnessing their Cultivation Techniques.
Nowadays.
The Great Yan Federation had completely integrated 'technology' with 'cultivation,' realizing universal cultivation among the populace.
Even those without cultivation talents could acquire great strength simply by getting an injection of Genetic Medicine.
After decades of development, the Genetic Medicine had been upgraded several times.
Those original side effects such as 'affecting fertility" and "affecting offspring's talent' have been gradually resolved throughout the upgrades.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 558: Chapter 390: Water Blue Star Renamed to Bluewater Realm, Resolving Future Concerns!_2
"
The only side effect left by the current genetic medicines is that after injection, one's strength becomes locked in place, unless they continue with an enhanced version of the genetic medicine.
"After finishing this job, I'll be able to exchange for a stick of Calming Incense from the Federation, and my son will be able to break through to the Turning Qi into God stage!"
A brawny man wielding a large hammer floated in the air, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then struck a pillar forcefuly with the hammer in his hand.
The brawny man's name was 'Zhang Hanlin'
Though his name carried the aura of scholarly books, in reality, Zhang Hanlin was not meant for academics; more lamentably, he also lacked any talent for cultivation.
In the current society, simply lacking the talent for cultivation was essentially resigning oneself to a life of little significance.
Therefore.
Zhang Hanlin dropped out of school early on.
He was arranged by the employment bureau to inject a 'Comprehensive Genetic Medicine', and he entered a construction enterprise, becoming a miscellaneous worker on the construction site.
Also, by official arrangement, he married Liu Xiumei, a woman of similar social status to himself, who is now his wife, and eventually they had three children.
What brought joy was that among his three children, the youngest son actually possessed cultivation talent, and his talent wasn't too lacking either.
Zhang Hanlin was overjoyed, feeling like a dragon was finally emerging from his family; his youngest son was destined to change their fortune and become an exalted cultivator up in the higher echelons.
"Keep on working!"
"Strive to get that Calming Incense as soon as possible!"
So encouraged himself Zhang Hanlin, accepting all kinds of work that could earn Federation points, regardless of the amount, as long as he could handle it, he took them all on.
…
Just as he was rolling up his sleeves to work harder.
Suddenly.
An ancient voice directly arose in his mind.
[Since your homes have been destroyed due to the ascension of the world, today I will use the power of the world to help you rebuild your homeland!]
Before he could come back to his senses.
Boom~
Sky-high iron structures shot up from the ground.
Like a Creator God, even more mystical than a certain block-based game, various buildings and facilities appeared out of thin air.
In the face of such a scene, the so-called Western 'Let there be light' seemed utterly weak.
The Main God Taichu said, let there be bridges~
Boom!
Bridges soared from the earth.
The Main God Taichu said, let there be maglev routes, and immediately maglev routes were created.
The Main God Taichu said, let there be shopping districts and houses, and instantly, towering buildings rose from the ground.
Not only that.
Beyond these basic facilities.
Large plazas appeared one after another, and in the middle of each plaza, a stage was established, with a Yin and Yang Bagua pattern in the center.
Teleportation Array.
Small Teleportation Arrays!
At this moment.
In a Body Transformation World state, Xuanqing was having fun as if playing a game, thoroughly enjoying himself as he embarked on large-scale construction within his world; everything he could imagine was just a thought away from materializing.
It could be said… on Water Blue Star, Xuanqing had truly become a Creator God; as long as the World Origin was sufficient, anything could be made possible.
Of course, if one insisted on arguing about 'creating a stone too heavy for oneself to lift', that sort of extremely foolish matter is a different discussion altogether.
….
….
Jiang City.
Heavenly Master Mansion.
Elder Jingde and the others were originally arranging for the Taoist disciples to rebuild the houses damaged by the world's ascension.
Then followed.
The arrival of Creator-like actions, all the buildings erupted from the ground.
This scene, akin to playing the Sand river game, left Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, Elder Yang Ying… as well as a multitude of Taoists.
Creating out of nothing?
What vast power was this?
"Our palace lord… is getting more and more majestic!" murmured Yang Ying with a dazed look in her eyes, speaking softly.
"Yes, creating from the void, integrating other planets into Water Blue Star, probably even the presence of the Three Pure Ones could not achieve this," said Elder Jingde, equally filled with deep emotion.
"
"
It was just over a hundred years ago that humanity did not have to break out of the universe themselves, yet the planet directly ascended to become one of the Great Thousand Worlds.
At this moment.
As everyone looked upon the vast expanse of land, they couldn't help but think:
"Now, Water Blue Star can probably no longer be called a planet. It should be known as… the Bluewater Realm!!"
While they were contemplating this.
"Indeed, I too find the name Bluewater Realm more fitting," said a voice.
Whoosh~
An illusory shadow suddenly appeared, startling everyone, but as they swiftly recognized the figure, they quickly bowed in respect.
"We greet the temple master!"
"Hmm."
Xuanqing nodded slightly, his gaze toward Yang Ying and the others filled with admiration.
"You've done very well. This world integration lasted for decades, yet you managed to immediately reorganize the entire Great Yan Federation afterwards."
One must realize,
the volume of the original Water Blue Star had inflated five thousandfold in an instant, and it had metamorphosed from a planetary state into a world with a round heaven and a square earth.
Under such massive change, to swiftly organize humanity was no simple task.
"Palace lord, will our Bluewater Realm… no, our Bluewater Realm continue to undergo metamorphosis?" asked Yang Ying curiously.
Elder Jingde and the others were equally all ears.
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing smiled slightly and then said, "I have refined the Bluewater Realm into my Body Transformation World. Therefore, as my strength grows, the Bluewater Realm will expand accordingly."
"However, now that the Bluewater Realm has transformed into the shape of round heaven and square earth, even if it continues to expand, it will only do so by growing outward from the edges."
The crowd nodded in understanding.
…
"How goes your practice?" Xuanqing suddenly asked.
As these words were spoken,
bitter smiles involuntarily appeared on everyone's faces. Then Elder Jingde took a step forward and respectfully said, "To report to the temple master, although we wield the power of authority and possess great strength, our own cultivation leaves much to be desired."
"To this date, I, Elder Qianqing, Elder Yang Ying, and Elder Huai Qingyun are all at the pinnacle of the refining gods and returning to the void stage, yet we are unable to take the final step… to condense the Immortal Body!"
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing nodded slightly.
This did not surprise him.
The journey of cultivation, with ample resources available, generally does not encounter significant bottlenecks in the early stages.
However, once one's practice reaches refining gods and returning to the void, advancing further to condense the Immortal Body and enter the Integration of Void Stage is not something that can be resolved with resources alone.
Even in the Primordial World, only a scarce few creatures manage to craft the Immortal Body, with most lacking the cultivation talent or lingering in the preceding realms.
Foundation, talent, and resources are indispensable.
For Elder Jingde and the others… they have resources, but their foundation and talent are somewhat lacking. To have cultivated to the current state in refining gods and returning to the void is already the result of an abundance of resources poured into them.
"Your bloodline and talent are somewhat lacking,"
Xuanqing explained.
Then,
just as everyone in the crowd felt disheartened and defeated, they heard another statement from their palace lord that straightened their spirits.
Xuanqing continued, "However, since you have followed me, I will help you resolve this matter of bloodline and foundation."
As he spoke,
Xuanqing's right hand lightly pointed.
A few strands of green sprouts grew from the tip of his finger, then condensed into a small green sphere.
"In this sphere, I have placed items that can improve bloodlines. After consuming it, it will release the Ancient Archon's Origin within your body, slowly replacing your foundational bloodline."
"Once your bloodline reaches a certain level of advancement, breaking through to the Integration of Void Stage and condensing the Immortal Body will be as natural as the flow of water!"
Having said that,
Xuanqing flicked his finger!
Swish~
Three green spheres transformed into beams of light, and before Jingde, Qianqing, and Yang Ying could react, they entered their minds.
Yang Ying's eyes widened.
She felt an additional green bead in her mind, a cool aura seeping from it, making her feel as though she was soaking in a nutrient solution.
Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing beside her also closed their eyes, attentively sensing the changes in their minds.
Not sure if it was an illusion, they felt that their stagnant cultivation seemed to be… slightly loosened.
"
Chapter 559: Chapter 391: Self-Destruction, The Terrifying Self-Destruction!!_1
"This is the bloodline of the Ancient Archon. Once you have absorbed it, I will replenish it for you until you achieve the status of an Ancient Archon!"
"The outside world is vast, while the Bluewater Realm… is very small. Practice well if you wish to keep up with my pace!"
…
The voice of Xuanqing echoed in their ears.
However.
When they lifted their heads to express their gratitude to their palace lord and to assure him of their diligent cultivation, Xuanqing's figure was nowhere to be seen.
…
Meanwhile.
Among the stars.
In an empty expanse of the starry sky, a translucent marble-like crystal ball shimmered with a trace of Spirit Light on its surface.
It was Xuanqing, who had disbanded the illusory shadow of the Bluewater Realm from within his body and returned to the state of a Body Transformation World.
This state was somewhat similar to that of the crystal ball in the Primordial World, only that the Bluewater Realm was of a much lower order compared to the Primordial World.
"First, let's 'recharge' the incense of these past decades, then enter the Primordial map of the Game World and resolve those ten Great Gods and Devils!"
Xuanqing murmured softly.
In the state of a Body Transformation World, the physical body was no longer considered human, nor even a creature, but rather like a world with feelings.
Of course, collecting incense became much easier, and there was even no need to circulate cultivation techniques, since he was the Bluewater Realm, and the Bluewater Realm was him.
There was no need for the God Soul to leave the body.
"Recharge!"
[Beep… 39420 trillion!]
Hearing the quantifier's prompting sound and the number that followed, Xuanqing silently calculated in his mind…
He had spent approximately thirty-six years in closed-door cultivation on the sun, and comparing this with the average daily incense income… three trillion!
3 trillion/day!!
Compared to before the retreat, this was about double the amount.
"It seems… while increasing the total population, it is also necessary to improve the overall quality," Xuanqing thought silently to himself.
In fact.
Over the decades, the population of the Bluewater Realm had not increased significantly.
Because the Water Blue Star had been in a state of devouring planets, human development had stagnated for decades, even basic survival needs such as eating were carried out within protected membranes, to say nothing of dating and having children.
However.
Although the total population had not increased, the quality had improved significantly, as the Bluewater Realm continuously devoured planets and secreted a large amount of substances beneficial to cultivation.
In this case, the humans within it would gradually improve their physical constitution even without doing anything. Otherwise… genetic medicine would not have developed so rapidly.
Therefore.
Even without an increase in numbers, the incense income still doubled, which could only be attributed to the improvements in quality.
Of course.
Besides the improvements in quality, as the world was transformed, humans witnessing many planets merging into their own world firsthand would feel profound shock, which would strengthen their faith and naturally increase their incense offerings.
All these factors combined were indeed the fundamental reasons for the doubling of the incense income.
….
After pushing aside the myriad thoughts in his mind,
Xuanqing looked towards the distant sun and thought, "It's time to deal with the ten Great Gods and Devils of the Primordial World."
He planned to enter the game directly in the state of a Body Transformation World, right from this stretch of the starry sky.
Because his physical body had transformed into the Bluewater Realm, appearing only as a crystal ball the size of a marble, it didn't create much disturbance itself.
In such circumstances, if he were to continue using camouflage, like setting up a formation to conceal and restrain his presence, it would be like the proverbial 'hiding a leaf in the forest.'
Moreover, the defense capabilities of the world itself were already quite secure, so there was no need to continue with such contrivances!
"Enter the game!"
…..
….
Primordial World.
Black Wind Mountain Taichu Dojo.
After entering the Game World, Xuanqing first felt the state of the heaven and earth, and finding no issues, he relaxed.
"Before leaving, the grand ancestor said we could hold out for a hundred years. Later, I added the origin of the Ancient Archon to the Primordial World, and indeed no problems have arisen."
"With that settled, I shall first check if there have been any complications in the Black Wind Country over these years."
Xuanqing muttered softly and, with a flash of his figure, left the Taichu Dojo and headed for the palace of the Black Wind Country.
…
Decades in the Real World had passed, which translated into several hundred years in the Primordial World due to the time ratio.
Several hundred years had not changed the structure of the Primordial World much.
Currently.
Being the protagonists of the world, humanity was still divided into three factions: Black Wind Country, the Tang Dynasty, and the Peacock Dynasty!
Among them, the Black Wind Country represented the emerging forces, its style not much different from that of a modern legal society. Even though it had gods, they served more as a support to the Human Race.
It goes without saying for the Peacock Dynasty, as it was the power of the Shimen, with its king being merely a puppet with little to no authority, most decisions being made by the monks of the Shimen.
As for the Tang Dynasty, it was the pinnacle of a feudal monarchy infused with both Shimen and Taoist powers, arguably the most complex empire.
"Reporting to Sir, at present, Black Wind Country, the Tang Dynasty Empire, and the Peacock Dynasty… all three powers are in a stable state."
"However… our economy is the best, were it not for the control of the borders by the Tang and the Shimen, their citizens might have already defected to our side."
…
The Imperial Capital of Black Wind Country.
Qingwan, clad in a Dragon Robe exuding a domineering imperial aura.
But at this moment, she was bowing her head and bending her body slightly, with an incredibly respectful demeanor, reporting to a young man.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 560: Chapter 391: Self-Destruction, The Terrifying Self-Destruction!!_2
"Indeed, these years… It has indeed been hard on you."
The young man stroked Qingwan's hair, just like he used to stroke the messy hair of that little girl thousands of years ago.
"Sir…" Qingwan's eyes reddened slightly.
As the empress of Black Wind Country, she was second only to none and above millions, and had long been accustomed to the loneliness of the divine fire.
Only when she lay on her bed every day would childhood memories occasionally surface, and she would recall the scenes when she was still Fat Ya.
"Alright, I need to go deal with some matters beyond the heavens. Once everything is settled, I will help you undergo the bloodline metamorphosis of an Ancient Archon," Xuanqing patted her shoulder.
Upon hearing this.
Qingwan nodded, performed a respectful kowtow, and said softly, "Then… Disciple sees Sir off."
"Hmm…"
Xuanqing nodded slightly, then his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
…
…
Void World.
It was still as before, with nothing but the crystal ball in the center, not even a ray of light existed.
Hum hum~
The crystal ball trembled faintly.
Suddenly, a young Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and holding a duster appeared beside the crystall ball—it was Xuanqing who had just emerged from the Primordial World.
"Huh~"
Xuanqing looked around.
The surroundings were empty, thankfully not like last time when he happened to encounter Nuwa and the Grand Master injured.
"First, let's see what the state of the battle in the Endless Chaos beyond the Void is like!"
Whoosh~
Xuanqing passed through the Void World and entered the Endless Chaos outside the Primordial World.
He planned to sneak in quietly, without drawing attention, to see if he had a chance to launch a surprise attack. With his current level of cultivation, if he self-destructed, surely… he could manage to slay a god or devil?
….
At this moment.
In the Endless Chaos beyond the Void.
An epic battle was unfolding.
On one side were the ten great Chaos Gods and Devils of the Endless Chaos, and on the other, the six great Chaos Immortals of the Primordial World!
The six great sages, led by Taiqing Daode Tianzun, were executing a joint battle formation. With the support of the World Origin of the Primordial World, they displayed not a shred of fear against the ten great gods and devils. In fact, they seemed to have the upper hand.
On this side.
The ten great gods and devils were led by the most powerful, the Boundless God and Devil, relying on their strong physical bodies and domineering combat skills, they kept charging towards the Primordial World.
"Roar~"
"Kill the Chaos Immortals from within, seize the Primordial World!"
Nine odd-looking gods and devils, seemingly tireless, charged madly into the Endless Chaos.
Numerous lesser demon gods, acting as cannon fodder, swarmed in great numbers, relentlessly marching towards death in their advance.
Behind them.
A figure in black robes, the Boundless God and Devil, simply stood with hands behind his back, eyeing the six great sages coldly, waiting for the right moment to strike and decide the outcome of the battle.
Boom!
Colorful divine powers collided with the nine gods and devils, and the mere shockwaves resulted in the deaths of hundreds to thousands of lesser demon gods.
Below the Chaos Immortals, all are as ants.
These lesser demon gods all had the realm of Half-step Chaos. Even if placed in the Primordial World, they would be considered among the top ranks. In the regular Great Thousand Worlds, aside from the Heavenly Path, probably no one could rival them.
However.
In this battle beyond the Void in the Endless Chaos, they were like ants, shattered into dust by the shockwaves of the battle between the sages and the gods and devils.
….
Just as the battle was reaching its most intense phase.
It moved!
The Boundless God and Devil moved.
With a single step taken, he left behind countless illusory afterimages, directly breaching the space to enter the battlefield.
"Tongtian… be careful. This Boundless God and Devil is most skilled in spatial divine powers…"
Taiqing Daode Tianzun had been paying close attention to Boundless among the ten great gods and devils. Upon seeing his movement, he immediately warned Tongtian, who was engaged in close combat.
Sure enough.
Before his words even faded…
"Exonerate!"
Boundless had already arrived at Tongtian's side, his robe billowing with black smoke, as he swiftly swung and emitted a mist.
Thump….
Fortunately.
The leader of the Sect of Tongtian, having received a warning, hastily retracted the Immortal Slayer Sword and used his magic treasure to block the attack, narrowly avoiding it.
"Huu~" The leader of the Sect of Tongtian let out a sigh of relief.
The mist from that god-devil of the Endless Chaos was not so easily endured, even if blocked by the magic treasure, it was still eroded creating a large hole, and couldn't be used for a while.
On this side.
The god-devil of the Endless Chaos, whose surprise attack had failed and with Taiqing Daode Tianzun arriving soon, had already retreated behind the group of greater and lesser demon gods.
The god-devil of the Endless Chaos was like a deadly serpent, coiled in a hidden corner, ready to leap out and deliver a fatal strike at any moment.
…..
The battle continued to be tense.
Whether it was the six sages of the Primordial World, or the ten god-devils of the Endless Chaos, neither side could gain the upper hand.
Every time a god-devil faced danger, the god-devil of the Endless Chaos, lurking at the back, would take action.
Conversely… if on the side of the Primordial World, any sage's battlefield encountered issues, Taiqing Daode Tianzun would intervene.
For a time.
The stalemate continued.
If the previous experiences were to be considered… this battle would last for a long time, ending only when the ten god-devils no longer had the strength to fight and would then leave the area.
At least.
That's what the ten god-devils thought.
Because this was a part of their plan, one might say it was a blatant strategy that the Primordial World side couldn't break through!
In the plans of the god-devil of the Endless Chaos, although these worlds' Chaos Immortals had infinite endurance thanks to their worlds,
If their World Origin was nearly completely exhausted, these Chaos Immortals (sages) would just be waiting to die.
Combined with the 'Chaos Immortals' inability to stray too far from their own worlds… this characteristic,
Then… a simple, yet very effective method formed, which was… to exhaust them!
After exhausting them in one go, they would distance themselves from the Primordial World, knowing that the sages couldn't pursue.
Once rested, they would continue to assault the Primordial World.
In this process, they only needed to ensure that they didn't suffer losses, maintaining the power to prevent the opponent from killing any of the god-devils.
….
"A few more assaults, and it should be nearly over!"
At this moment.
At the rear of the battlefield.
The god-devil of the Endless Chaos was constantly paying attention to the fight with the six saints, silently calculating the energy consumption.
However.
He had not noticed.
An illusory figure was slowly traversing the fierce battlefield, drawing closer to his position.
This figure was none other than Xuanqing, using the projection of his Body Transformation World.
He had minimized his presence, and with the battle raging fiercely, no one would think there would be a third party intervening.
So… incredibly, no one on the battlefield had noticed that this illusory figure had nearly crossed the battlefield and had reached the enemy commander's position.
"Almost there!"
Xuanqing carefully moved his steps, avoiding enemy detection with such caution that he didn't even use his peripheral vision, relying solely on his spiritual sense to approach the god-devil of the Endless Chaos.
One step… one, two steps… getting closer and closer.
Finally!
Xuanqing was now hundreds of kilometers away from the god-devil of the Endless Chaos, and yet, the latter had not the slightest clue.
The opportunity had arrived… now was the time!
"Self-destruct!"
First, a blinding burst of light appeared on the battlefield, followed by a vast shockwave emanating from behind the battlefield… the direction of the god-devil of the Endless Chaos.
Boom~
The sky fell and the earth collapsed.
The already furious Chaos Energy, under this self-destruction, churned even more violently, turning into shockwaves that scattered in all directions.
Some of the lesser demon gods at the rear of the battlefield, faced with the shockwave from the explosion, were instantaneously reduced to ash.
….
At this moment!
All creatures on the battlefield had instinctively stopped what they were doing.
The rampaging, mindless lesser demon gods also turned their heads, looking back at the explosion with puzzled eyes.
The six saints and the nine great god-devils also halted their actions, staring in shock at the site of the incident.
"It's Xuanqing… Daoist Friend Xuanqing!!!"

In the state of Body Transformation World, the difference from the human form was vast, especially in terms of sensory perception and awareness of the surroundings.
Not to mention the difference between a person and the world, even a person's eyes, ears, and touch perceive things completely differently from those of a dog.
This moment.
After returning to the Real World.
Xuanqing's first action was to focus his mind on the world within his body.
Upon seeing that inside the Bluewater Realm within his body, everything was in perfect order under the management of his Followers, he was able to relax.
By the way.
He collected the power of incense fire that had accumulated over this period and silently chanted in his mind:
"Recharge!"
[Ding… 1826 trillion Ingots!]
Compared to the over ninety million trillion Ingots he currently possessed, a mere one thousand eight hundred trillion was nothing.
But he was still very happy.
"This journey to the Primordial consumed ten years, which equates to one year in the Real World. According to this calculation… the daily income from the power of incense fire has increased to five trillion!"
Xuanqing's lips curled upward slightly.
Indeed.
Last time before he left, he first improved the constitution of subordinates like Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, and then he also enhanced the physiques of the billions of humans living inside it with the essence of the Ancient God Clan.
It had only been one year, and the results were showing—his income from the power of incense fire had leapt to five trillion a day, proving his management strategy was correct.
Once he returned to the Ancient God Clan in the Endless Chaos World, this power of incense fire would become the foundation for his rapid development.
"The cultivation and the faith of humanity, from now on, the development of the Bluewater Realm inside will focus on these two aspects. And for those with exceptional talents… bestowing the Ancient God bloodline and taking them to the Endless Chaos wouldn't be a bad idea," Xuanqing thought to himself.
Of course.
Even when the time came to select individuals from the Bluewater Realm to go to the Endless Chaos, he would only choose from those with the most devout faith.
Most of the time, loyalty… vastly outweighs talent.
Immediately afterward.
Xuanqing reviewed the situations in both the Primordial World and the Real World, and after finding no oversights…
It meant that he could confidently switch and log in to the Endless Chaos of the Real World.
"Switch map, log into the Endless Chaos – Northern Galaxy Region!"
[Friendly Reminder: Game character can only log into one map, are you sure you want to log into the Endless Chaos – Northern Galaxy Region?]
Without any hesitation.
"Log in!"
….
….
Northern Galaxy Domain.
Ancient World!
As the very center of the Northern Galaxy Domain, with the richest Chaos Energy available, naturally, the strongest entity in the entire Northern Galaxy Domain occupies this fertile land…
The Ancient God Clan.
To date, the Ancient God Clan has occupied the central position of the Northern Galaxy Domain for well over a hundred Yuan Years.
One Yuan Year = 10800 years
One Yuan Year = 12 cycles, corresponding to the world's twelve orbital cycles = 129600 years
This means that the Ancient God Clan has dominated the most fertile lands of the Northern Galaxy Domain for tens of millions of years.
Over such a long era, countless prodigies have been born within the Ancient God Clan, including one named: Pangu!
Pangu was born in the line of Ancestor Huang!
From birth, he showed exceptional might, being able to defeat adults while most of the Ancient God Clan were still in their youth.
After reaching adulthood, Pangu created his own Cultivation Method quite early, and his cultivation speed skyrocketed rapidly, soon becoming the forefront of his contemporaries.
Speaking of this.
We must mention the structure of the Ancient God Clan.
The Ancient God Clan!
Apart from the never-seen and even among the clan, the mysterious 'Chieftain of the God Clan,' the biggest entities are…
The Three Ancestors!
These are Ancestor Huang, Ancestor Yun, and Ancestor Dun!
The three ancestors of the God Clan each have their distinct characteristics.
Ancestor Dun: Known for his explosive temper, the cultivators of this line of the God Clan only cultivate the Physical Body… a body that is powerful to the extreme.
To pursue the ultimate Physical Body, Ancestor Dun even infused his entire God Soul into his Physical Body, retaining only the most basic Spirit Light for daily communication within the clan.
..
Ancestor Yun: The cultivators from this line of the God Clan can be deemed as the most peculiar. They are incredibly lazy, so much so that they won't even bother to argue if you yell at them.
Even… the cultivators from the line of Ancestor Yun prefer not to practice at all most of the time, relying solely on 'luck' and 'epiphanies' for progress.
This is because the Cultivation Techniques of Ancestor Yun's line are related to 'luck' and 'sleep'; they boost their luck through sleeping, which in turn makes their cultivation progress by leaps and bounds.
…
After talking about Ancestor Dun and Ancestor Yun, the last ancestor of the God Clan is Ancestor Huang, who is the most normal among them.
Ancestor Huang: A line with comprehensive qualities, cultivating both God Soul and Physical Body. Like most cultivators, they also worship their Lifebound Item, and they are rather calm by nature.
Of course, being calm is relative—it depends on who you compare them with. Compared to Ancestor Dun's line, they're certainly calm, but compared to other races in the Chaotic World, not so much.
In any case… for other races, it doesn't matter which line the Ancient God in front of you belongs to, it's best to walk around them if possible. Otherwise, at the very least, you face a beating, or at worst, instant death on the spot.

To get by in the Northern Galaxy Domain, the first thing one must do is recognize members of the Ancient God Clan… It's only by being acquainted with the Ancient God Clan that one can avoid courting disaster in their actions.
In any case.
In the entire Northern Galaxy Domain, the existence of the Ancient God Clan is notorious, belonging unequivocally to those who should not be provoked.
….
…..
This moment.
Right next to the teleportation platform in the Ancient World, a flash of light suddenly flickered.
"Eh… A bloodline inheritor from the Lower Realm has ascended."
"Alas, after so many years, an inheritor has finally appeared, but one wonders which clansman has perished outside!"
"Our Ancient God Clan only releases their origin on their own accord and gives birth to bloodline inheritors when they meet with accidental death. One can never be sure how many inheritors will emerge this time."
….
All the members of the Ancient God Clan who were passing by the teleportation platform stopped and gathered to catch a glimpse of what the newly appeared bloodline inheritor looked like.
It's worth mentioning that.
Besides the most fundamental way of procreating by having children, the Ancient God Clan also has a very special method known as: bloodline inheritors.
When a member of the Ancient God Clan perishes outside, they generally leave behind a wisp of obsession containing their origin. This obsession chooses a creature that shares a destiny with them and invokes the origin to transform this creature into a member of the Ancient God Clan.
"You all, keep it down and contain your qi, or this newly ascended inheritor won't be able to bear it."
A stern reprimanding voice sounded.
One saw a tall young man with a scar on his forehead, striding toward the front of the teleportation platform.
"Greetings to Senior Brother Zhang Zhen!"
"Greetings to Senior Brother Zhang Zhen!"
…
The crowd of Ancient God Clan onlookers hurriedly saluted the young man who had spoken and reprimanded them, and each began to restrain their qi.
It's worth mentioning that.
Once one's cultivation reaches a certain realm, the barrier of 'language' no longer exists. Take this 'Zhang Zhen' from the Ancient God Clan, for example; the reason he is called Zhang Zhen is that his name has been translated into the language of Water Blue Star using the Ancient Divine Language.
This moment.
Zhang Zhen stood guard at the entrance of the teleportation platform, his eyes closed as he quietly waited for the new inheritor to arrive.
Moments later.
The faint light suddenly intensified, accompanied by a wave of fluctuations that followed, and one could see a figure slowly emerging from the teleportation array.
All eyes turned to see.
Dressed in a dark cyan robe, the attire was nothing remarkable, but in the young man's hand, he held a 'furry' stick that still emanated a hint of Chaos qi.
"Eh… This inheritor's appearance is quite similar to our Ancient Gods. Could it be… a widow from another clansman who died outside?"
"Yeah, past inheritors didn't resemble Ancient Gods that much!"
"It seems he's likely a child of our clan that was lost outside."
…
The onlookers were abuzz with discussions, none having anticipated that this inheritor was not only an inheritor but also a clansman of the Ancient God Clan who had been lost outside.
In fact.
In the long history of the Ancient God Clan, cases like this, where one is both an inheritor and a clansman, have not been unheard of, though they are quite rare.
…..
This moment.
Xuanqing was somewhat bewildered.
How had he just logged into the game and already been surrounded by so many intimidating burly men?
He could sense waves of powerful qi emanating from these onlookers, feeling as though each could easily overpower him.
"You've had your fun watching, why don't you disperse now?"
Seeing Xuanqing's dumbfounded look, Zhang Zhen thought the many clansmen might have frightened the boy and quickly scolded the rubbernecking crowd.
"Understood, Senior Brother Zhang Zhen."
"Let's disperse, disperse!"
"Haah~ I'm so sleepy…"
It wasn't until the last god of Ancestor Yun's lineage, yawning and drowsy, had dispersed that the vicinity of the teleportation platform finally quieted down.
At this moment.
Zhang Zhen tried to soften his expression and turned his gaze to Xuanqing on the platform, asking:
"Kid, how old are you, and who is your father?"
???
"Hmm?"
Xuanqing's mouth twitched slightly.
Could it be that they took him for a fool, asking such a question right from the start?
However.
Maybe it was just that he was uninformed, or perhaps it was typical of the Ancient God Clan to question everyone returning to the group this way?
With this thought in mind,
Xuanqing's expression softened as he immediately spoke up, "Reporting to Senior Brother Zhang Zhen, I am Xuanqing, hundreds of years old, my father… um… could be considered a descendant of Pangu; my inheritance is also from Pangu."
When mentioning his father, he hesitated slightly, for on Water Blue Star, he had been an orphan with no parents since childhood, yet he still spoke a name related to Pangu according to his current lineage.
However.
After Zhang Zhen had heard this speech,
his body trembled, his eyes filled with an incredulous look, before he exclaimed,
"Is it… is it the Peak Master Pangu of Pan God Peak?"
"That should be him, he had once said that once I return to the clan's territory, I must join the Pan God Peak."
Xuanqing pondered for a moment.
Judging by the expression on Senior Brother Zhang Zhen's face, it seemed that Pangu God was indeed a very well-known existence within the Ancient God Clan?
"Ss…"
Zhang Zhen, upon receiving the confirmation, couldn't help but gasp in shock, his face changing dramatically as he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Oh my heavens… The Master of Pan God Peak has actually perished, the Master of Pan God Peak has actually perished…"
Instantly,
his loud voice was deafening, spreading very far and wide; many of the ancient gods who were practicing abruptly had their training interrupted, becoming furious, but then suddenly paid attention to the content of this shout.
The Master of Pan God Peak… has actually perished?
"Ah… The Master of Pan God Peak has actually perished, what happened?"
"Let's go and see, the sound seems to have come from the Teleportation Platform, could it be that the inheritor of Pan God Peak has appeared?"
"Is it true? The Master of Pan God Peak was the most likely to ascend to the position of Ancestor in the recent Yuan Year; how could such a powerful figure perish?"
"Everybody, hurry and take a look, it seems to be the inheritor of Pan God Peak, or perhaps the descendant of the Peak Master."
…
In an instant,
from the Teleportation Platform as the center, myriads of people from the Ancient God Clan converged from all directions.
They were initially shocked by the news of the fall of the Master of Pan God Peak, and then they became curious about the inheritor and descendants of the same.
When a throng of people from the Ancient God Clan came surging towards the Teleportation Platform, they found that a semi-transparent barrier had gone up around it.
Inside the barrier, there was a young man in a long robe, holding a staff-like magic treasure, and standing beside this young man was…
Standing beside him was… ah… Ancestor Huang!!!!!
Ancestor Huang??
Everyone was shocked, quickly kneeling on one knee, and respectfully shouting, "We pay our respects to Ancestor Huang!"
Since the mysterious Chieftain of the Ancient God Clan had disappeared, the entire Ancient God Clan had been ruled by three Ancestors, who were the most authoritative and powerful beings in the whole group.
"Disperse!"
Accompanied by a hoary voice, the Ancient God clan members, regardless of which branch, all dispersed and returned the way they came.
…
After everyone had dispersed,
the semi-transparent barrier slowly opened, revealing the two inside; besides Xuanqing, there stood a lean, middle-aged man with deep eyes—none other than Ancestor Huang of the Ancient God Clan.
"Child, seeing that you have come from the Netherworld, could it be that the little guy Pangu… perished there?"
Upon uttering these words,
Xuanqing was startled, as he hadn't expected the elder of the Ancient God Clan to see through his origin so easily and even inquire about Pangu.
After pondering for a while,
he felt it was best to be honest with such a being, and besides… apart from the Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device, there wasn't much else to hide.
With this thought at heart,
Xuanqing immediately spoke up, "Reporting to Ancestor Huang, my Father God did not perish in the Dark Realm, but in the Endless Chaos, although… not in the Northern Galaxy Domain."
Not in the Northern Galaxy Domain?
On hearing this,
a hint of surprise flickered in Ancestor Huang's profound eyes, then he continued to ask, "Not in the Northern Galaxy Domain? Could it be in some other domain of the Milky Way? But why have we of the Ancient God Clan not received any news?"
"It's like this…" Xuanqing took a deep breath, then started to recount the story…..

Chapter 563: Chapter 392: The Two Sages of the West Cause Trouble! _1
"It's Daoist Friend Xuanqing!"
The Taiqing Daode Tianzun blurted out.
…
A moment later.
The fluctuations from the self-destruction ceased.
Everyone's eyes shifted, and the god-devil from the explosion had vanished without a trace.
Then.
A roar rang out from not far away.
"Retreat!"
All that could be seen was the god-devil's gray robe in tatters, barely able to stand, its aura weakened to the extreme.
Immediately after the word 'retreat' left his mouth.
In an instant.
A deadly sense of crisis surged again.
"Not good, it's coming again!"
The god-devil's eyes were full of ruptured veins, heedless of his gravely injured body, he forcibly used his life force to cast a secret method to teleport and escape.
The next moment.
The spot where he stood was once again overwhelmed by colossal fluctuations.
Boom!
It was Xuanqing who, after resurrecting on the spot, once again reached the god-devil's side and unleashed the power of self-destruction.
"Tsk tsk~ Such a pity, truly worthy of being the chief among the ten great god-devils, such first-rate life-preserving skills."
The figure of Xuanqing slowly appeared in the center of the blast site, looking at the god-devil who had fled far away, clicking his tongue in lamentation and regret.
Following that.
He turned his gaze to the nine great god-devils still nearby.
"The god-devil has fled, but I cannot let the rest of you escape," Xuanqing said, a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
After that.
His figure vanished from the spot.
Upon witnessing this scene.
The nine great god-devils felt an icy chill envelop their bodies, and in addition to the terror in their hearts, they couldn't help but curse the god-devil for not having any loyalty and fleeing first.
"Not good, this guy can self-destruct indefinitely, let's get out of here!"
One of the god-devils squawked, an earlier encounter with Xuanqing flashing in his mind—when the latter was still at the half-step chaos cultivation level.
As these words were spoken.
The remaining eight great god-devils quickly came to their senses, wanting to flee immediately for fear of meeting their end here. Unlike Chaos Immortals, they couldn't rely on the Heavenly Dao of the World for resurrection.
However.
The six Great Sages, battle-hardened from years of warfare, with their immense combat experience, naturally knew what had to be done.
"All Sages, heed my command, stop the nine great god-devils from escaping!" Taiqing Daode Tianzun wielded his whisk with a sweep and loudly commanded.
While speaking.
His whisk transformed into myriad black and white chains, lashing towards the commanding claw-minion god-devil closest to him.
The commanding claw-minion turned pale, disregarding his wounds, and decisively spent his life's origin in an attempt to break free.
Crack… Crack…
And it seemed.
With his desperate efforts, given but a moment longer, he might have freed himself from the chains of the Taiqing Daode Tianzun.
But regretfully, the deity of self-destruction had already arrived at his side.
"Great Teacher… Senior Taiqing, I'm going to… explode!"
As the words fell.
"No!"
The commanding claw-minion god-devil's pupils contracted, his body trembling violently as he struggled with all his might to break free, but fell just short, feeling utter despair within.
Doomed!!
Regret, he should never have set his sights on the Primordial World, should never have listened to that god-devil's deception, how he regretted it~~~
Along with the final thought in the commanding claw-minion god-devil's mind.
Boom!
Rumble!
An immense wave of force erupted, the self-destructive power, potent enough to kill the god-devil, appeared close by him.
Without any surprises.
He perished on the spot!
Annihilated!
Not even a mist of blood was left, utterly dissipated within the Endless Chaos, turning into pure demonic essence and merging with the pervasive Chaos Energy, eventually disappearing completely.
Dead!
The ten great god-devils had battled the six Sages of the Primordial for so many years… yet today marks the first death among them.
"Pu… cough cough~"
Taiqing Daode Tianzun, spitting out blood, had nevertheless a bright smile on his face.
Even he could not withstand a self-destruction at such close range. Fortunately, he had prepared in advance and was only seriously injured.
Merely a serious injury, once back in the Primordial World beside the crystal ball, it wouldn't take more than a few moments to fully recover—it's the terrifying power of Chaos Immortals within their own realm.
…
On this side.
Xuanqing, having again unleashed the power of self-destruction to kill the commanding claw-minion god-devil, faintly heard the prompt of a quantifier.
[Ding..1 Chaos Point!]
However.
Though curious, the situation was urgent, with eight more god-devils waiting to be dealt with—so the prompt would have to be put aside for now.
"Resurrecting on the Spot!"
Xuanqing's figure instantly reappeared, with his body already restored to its peak state.
Whoosh~
This time.
He charged towards a god-devil that resembled a mother succubus, while Tongtian, one of the Great Sages, was her opponent.
At Tongtian's level, there's no distinction between male and female. It didn't matter how beautiful or enticing the succubus was; his Immortal Slayer Sword showed no courtesy.
This moment.
The mother succubus god-devil, still in shock from the death of the commanding claw-minion god-devil, suddenly saw that terrifying self-destructive figure heading her way.
"No, no… don't come any closer~~"
But alas.
In a world where the strong feast on the weak, especially as an invader, you must be prepared for death the moment you choose this path.
Boom!
With a furious fluctuation.
Another god-devil fell, the rich essence of the god-devil diffusing, merging with the surrounding violent Chaos Energy; born from Chaos and perishing within it!
Madness.
Complete madness.
The seven remaining god-devils, their eyes splitting with boundless fear, attempted to flee in a crazed state, willing to sacrifice their life's essence.

Chapter 564: Chapter 392: The Trouble-making West Saint Part 2!
"Control them, create an opportunity for Daoist Xuanqing!"
Taiqing Daode Tianzun shouted out loud.
As he said this, he dragged his seriously injured body and rushed towards the remaining few demons, his duster flowing with Daoist rhyme, once again using divine powers with sealing functions.
"Immortal Slayer Sword Array!"
"Bodhi Dust!"
"Reversal of Creation…."
…
At this moment.
Yuqing Lingbao Tianzun, Xiqing Zhunti Jieyin, Nuwa… along with the other five Sages, seized the opportunity and exerted their full strength to perform their divine powers to capture the enemy.
For the six Sages, as long as they could detain the enemy, it meant they could annihilate them.
For the demons, being detained meant enduring the might of self-destruction and being utterly obliterated.
Both sides were fighting for their lives!
After one breath.
Boom!
Another tremendous fluctuation appeared, signaling that the once ten great demons were now down by one more, leaving only seven demons remaining.
It was the demon controlled by Lingbao Tianzun that had been eliminated.
Just like Taiqing Daode Tianzun, even while suffering severe injuries from Xuanqing's self-destruction, Lingbao Tianzun still dragged his battered body and charged at the remaining demons.
The reason for such actions.
Was because everyone knew that this was the only chance to eradicate the demons.
If the opponent escaped this time, there would be no coming back without a way to withstand Xuanqing's terrifying self-destruction method.
Boom~
A massive surge once again shook heaven and earth!
At this moment.
There were only six demons left, and although every Sage of the Primordial World was wounded, there were also six of them.
Under similar realms, an Immortal of Primordial Chaos was far stronger than an ordinary Chaos Immortal, by not just a little bit.
It was over!
Completely done for.
The remaining six demons showed utter despair, reliant on their numbers to gradually wear down the origin of the Primordial World; now, in one-on-one situations, even if their adversaries were injured, they were no match for them.
In fact, after such a prolonged fight and completely exhausted, they couldn't even flee.
"Roar… such hatred…."
Boom~
Their voices were drowned out by the massive sound of self-destruction.
Six Sages against five demons certainly added another layer to the despair.
However.
No matter how desperate the demons were or how much they regretted in their hearts, Xuanqing's self-destruction continued relentlessly.
Boom~
Only four remained!!!
Boom… Boom…
Two breaths later, only the last two remained.
One with dual horns on its head and three tails behind it, and another muscular and solid as a rock humanoid demon.
The final two demons looked at each other and then burst into mad laughter.
"Hahaha~"
The aura emanating from their bodies was expanding intensely.
"Not good, these two demons are going to self-destruct too, run…."
The faces of the Two Sages, Jieyin and Zhunti, changed dramatically, sensing that the demons they controlled were about to self-destruct like Daoist Xuanqing had, they were extremely horrified.
Although their spirits were entrusted to the Heavenly Path, meaning they could gradually recover over time even if they died in the demons' self-destruction,
But the key point was… what if the Primordial World ran out of its origin and returned to the Endless Chaos before they recovered? Wouldn't they be truly finished?
And at the moment they fled.
An unexpected turn of events occurred.
"Foolish, you've been deceived!"
The two demons, originally poised for self-destruction, suddenly changed their auras, opting instead to perform an escaping technique.
Whoosh~
Two streaks of light flashed past.
The gaze swept across the area again, but there was no sign of any Demon Gods—they had indeed managed to escape.
???
Silence!
Utter silence!
Taiqing Daode Tianzun, Tongtian, Lingbao, Nuwa, and Daoist Xuanqing, who had just resurrected on the spot, all shifted their gazes in that direction.
"Uh… this… that…"
The Two Saints Zhunti and Jieyin looked embarrassed, as if they wanted to find a hole in the Endless Chaos and burrow into it.
Thick-skinned as they were, they still found it impossible to accept their own behavior just now; it was truly… too humiliating.
"No… we didn't expect the Demon God to be so cunning…"
"Alas… shameful, truly shameful…"
Saint Zhunti turned his head away, not daring to meet everyone's eyes.
To the side, Saint Jieyin was also hanging his head low, practicing nose-to-heart reflection, looking very docile.
Seeing this.
Everyone was speechless.
Tongtian, the leader of the sect, seized the opportunity and sarcastically mocked, "We, as immortals within the realm, have our primordial spirits entrusted to the Heavenly Path and cannot die. Why are you so cowardly?"
"That… that… that…" Saint Jieyin's face turned red, wanting to retort but not knowing how to begin.
"Enough, Tongtian, let's not speak of this anymore. Now that seven out of the ten great Gods and Devils are gone, only Wutian the Demon God and the two that fled are not to be feared," Taiqing Daode Tianzun said with an indifferent gaze as he glanced at the Two Saints of the West.
To be honest.
He had never held the Two Saints Zhunti and Jieyin from the West in high regard—after all, one of their saintly standings was begged from Daoist Friend Hongyun.
…
The Six Saints touched the crystal ball, healed their injuries first, and then, under the lead of Taiqing Daode Tianzun, approached Daoist Xuanqing.
"This time, the Primordial World has averted its crisis, all thanks to Daoist Friend's efforts. On behalf of all the creatures of the Primordial World, I pay my respects to you!"
Having spoken those words.
Taiqing Daode Tianzun wore a serious expression, his hands forming a mudra lifted high above his forehead… and bowed deeply to the other.
"Many thanks!"
"On behalf of all the creatures of the Primordial World, we thank Daoist Friend Xuanqing for his rescue!"
Leader Tongtian of the Supreme Clarity, Taiqing Lingbao Tianzun, the Two Saints of the West, and Nuwa—all five of the Sages—simultaneously formed mudras over their foreheads and solemnly bowed deeply.
Even the Two Saints of the West, who had past grievances with Xuanqing, were genuinely grateful at this moment.
If not for Xuanqing, under the united front of the ten great Gods and Devils, they could at best have held out for a hundred years, or even less, before the Primordial World would be devoured.
By then.
They, who had entrusted their primordial spirits to the Heavenly Path as Chaos Immortals within the realm, would perish alongside the world's destruction.
And for the creatures within the world, even if they managed to escape before its destruction, the first challenge would be facing the attack from the ten great Gods and Devils, as well as countless minor ones—a likely death awaited them.
At this moment.
Confronted with the salutations of the assembly of Sages.
Daoist Xuanqing quickly stepped forward to first help Taiqing Daode Tianzun up, then proceeded to assist Leader Tongtian of the Supreme Clarity and Taiqing Lingbao Tianzun to their feet.
After helping all the Sages rise,
"Seniors, while Xuan may come from beyond the heavens, the Primordial World can be considered half my home, and naturally, I would not stand by and watch it perish!"
"Moreover, my Taichu Dao Court lies within the Primordial, so the survival of the Primordial also concerns my own interests!" Daoist Xuanqing solemnly stated.
These words came from the heart—as he said, the Primordial World was half his home from an emotional perspective, and from a rational standpoint, the potential of the world's incense was immense, plus he had a substantial foundation there.
…
Upon hearing these sincere words from Xuanqing, the Sages were moved.
"Good, very good indeed!"
Taiqing Daode Tianzun said the word 'good' thrice in a row, unable to hide the gratification in his eyes.
As the original form of Taishang Laojun, he had formed a deep master-disciple bond with Xuanqing.
Even though he now had to forgo this connection since Xuanqing had become a Chaos Immortal, the sentiments were not to be relinquished.
"Daoist Friend Xuanqing, I've long heard of your power of creation, that you can effortlessly replicate the Ten Great Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth, possessing countless Ginseng Fruit and Nine Thousand Years Flat Peaches in your hand."
"Now that the Primordial matter is concluded and is indeed a great fortune for the world, why don't we return to the Primordial and host a banquet to drink a toast to our success?" Leader Tongtian suggested.
The Three Pure Ones were one, and although they had their differences due to the Conferment of Gods, with the emergence of the ten great Demons as their common enemy, the affection between them had been rekindled.
Therefore,
towards this former disciple of big brother, Leader Tongtian held a great affinity, with his words conveying a sense of closeness.

"Kikiki~ Precisely, I've heard that under Friend Xuanqing's command, there is one who can craft exquisite wine known as 'Drunk Golden Immortal'. I wonder what the taste is like."
Lady Nuwa also pursed her lips in a smile.
To one side.
Taiqing Daode Tianzun, being of a more solemn temperament, merely nodded towards Xuanqing.
As for Zhunti and Jieyin, the pair of challenged brothers, due to their earlier mishap of accidentally releasing two demon gods, could only offer an awkward chuckle.
Seeing this.
"Since it is so, I would respectfully comply. I, Xuanqing, suggest that we go to the Taichu Dojo on Black Wind Mountain and have a grand celebration to honor Primordial World's overcoming of the Catastrophe!"
Xuanqing declared loudly, naturally not willing to go against the wishes of the few Sages.
"Hahaha, excellent~ Let's go to Taichu Dojo for the celebration," Taiqing Daode Tianzun said, stroking his beard with a smile.
The other great Sages also showed a hint of anticipation in their eyes!
Speaking of which.
Ever since the Conferment of the Gods, when gods and devils began plotting over the Primordial World, these Sages of Primordial have been on high alert every single day, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
"It has been many years since I last returned to Primordial, I wonder how that little nine-tailed fellow is doing," Nuwa looked into the void behind her, reminiscing in her heart.
Even the Two Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, couldn't help but wonder how the Western Religion, which had been transformed into Shimen, was faring nowadays.
…
…
In the Primordial World.
An event that shocked the entire Three Realms occurred.
The Six Great Sages have returned to the world!!
The sky was filled with holy light and the immense power of the world, and descriptions such as 'earth spouting golden lotuses' and 'heavenly flowers falling in disarray' were not enough to describe one ten-thousandth of it.
"Haotian, pays his respects to all Sages!"
"Earthly Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, pays his respects to all Sages!"
"This humble monk Shakyamuni… pays his respects to all Sages!"
"Lu Ya Wuchao…."
"Kong Xuan….."
…
Under the astonished and stunned gazes of all beings, every notable figure in the Three Realms, no matter what they were doing, immediately put down what was in their hands and flew into the sky to pay their respects to the Six Sages.
For ordinary cultivators, both the leaders of the Three Realms and the Sages known from legends are extremely distant matters; they do not understand the significance of the Sages' return.
But these veteran leaders are very clear in their hearts.
In the Primordial World, Sages represent the sky for everyone, no matter the sect or power… when encountering a Sage, one must perform the rites due to 'Sir'!
Because the Sages' divine spirits are entrusted to the Heavenly Path, in a sense, they represent not only themselves but also the sky of this world!!
…
However.
What happened next.
Completely stupefied all beings in the Three Realms.
"Master of Primordial Beginning, Xuanqing… has saved Primordial and his contributions are indispensable. We six Sages pray… from now on, all teachings should hold Primordial as the supreme!"
The majestic voice reverberated throughout the Three Realms, echoing in the minds of all creatures, including those of Quasi-Sages!
Boom!
Burst~
Countless creatures couldn't help but gasp, utterly shocked at what Xuanqing had done to receive such treatment. Even the six Great Lords of the Primordial World bowed down to him… and even declared that all teachings should hold Primordial as the supreme!
….
Heavenly Court.
Atop Lingxiao Bao Hall.
The gods were already stunned by the sudden disappearance of their Jade Emperor, only to find out later that it was because of the return of the six Great Lords. Their hearts were already deeply shocked, and now they heard this news.
"Master of Primordial Beginning, Xuanqing… has saved Primordial and his contributions are indispensable. We six Sages pray… from now on, all teachings should hold Primordial as the supreme!"
The majestic voice of the Sages spread throughout the hall and echoed in their minds.
"All teachings should hold Primordial as the supreme…. All teachings should hold Primordial as the supreme…"
Taibai Venus's body trembled, unable to steady the Duster in his hand, repeatedly muttering to himself.
Inside the main hall.
Not only Taibai Venus, but also Donghua Emperor who had many dealings with Xuanqing, Universal Transcendence of the Department of Thunder, and 'Marshal Tianpeng and Purification Envoy' Zhu Ganglie…
Were shaken to their core.
…
Headquarters of the Celestial River Naval Forces!
Zhu Ganglie, riding on an immortal horse, trembled slightly and murmured to himself, "Junior Xuanqing… Junior… "
However.
As he prepared to utter 'Junior Xuanqing', he found he could not get the word 'Junior' out after saying 'Junior' no matter how hard he tried.
And.
A feeling of extreme dread washed over him. If he were to forcefully pronounce the two words 'Junior Brother', he feared he would die on the spot, his existence obliterated, beyond even the salvation of the Heavenly Path.
"Hiss….."
The scenario, which felt as sacred as reciting the name of a Sage, or rather, even more terrifying than that, stupefied Zhu Ganglie. He could no longer speak and simply kept drawing sharp breaths.
Chaos Immortal!
The immense status that came with it meant that even a Quasi-sage could not bear the karmic consequence of uttering 'Junior Brother', let alone someone at the level of Zhu Ganglie.
….
…
Deep in the Netherworld.
Inside a simple wooden hut.
The Earth Queen Lady Houtu stepped out of her home, looking up at the sky, her heart turned upside down like rivers and seas.
Since the great battle between witches and monsters, her personality became quite pessimistic. Regarding the world of Primordial… she came to feel it would inevitably come to an end.
So… even though the Witch Tribe had recovered over the years, she still wouldn't allow them to engage in the strife of Primordial.
Her plan was simply to nurture a few more individuals above the Great Luo realm, and before Primordial World utterly perished, send them out of Primordial to seek a new path in the Endless Chaos.
Her past regard for Xuanqing was such that she even gave away her most precious Magic Treasure, without the slightest desire for personal gain, solely because their paths of practice were 'aligned in spirit'.

"Saving Primordial… Primordial… Could it really be saved?" Earth Queen Lady couldn't quite believe it.
"It can be saved!"
A voice suddenly appeared, startling the deep-in-thought Earth Queen Lady, who exclaimed, "Ah… who?"
"Elder Houtu, it's been a while. I hope you've been well!"
Xuanqing wore a smile, bowing his hands towards the Earth Queen Lady.
The reason for addressing her as 'Elder' rather than 'Her Highness' as before was naturally due to the status of a Chaos Immortal.
If he forced himself to address her as 'Her Highness' just to show off his own moral character, it would only cause her to not bear the status and lead to adverse consequences.
"Xuanqing… Daoist Friend?"
Joy was evident in the Earth Queen Lady's expression; she had never expected Xuanqing to visit her in this Netherworld.
"Has Primordial truly been saved… Oh yes, may I know what does the Master of the Primordial Beginning seek in my Netherworld?"
"Seven of the ten great devils have already departed, and as for the matter of the origin of Primordial ebbing away, Xuan has a solution for it," Xuanqing explained with a smile.
He had a very favorable impression of Earth Queen Lady in his heart; he had never forgotten the Chaotic Treasure she once gave him.
As for why he came to the Netherworld, it was not just to explain that Primordial had been saved but also to invite her to the Taichu Dojo to attend the celebration banquet.
"Elder Houtu, with the six saints of Primordial converging at Black Wind, and as you are the master of the Earthly Path, Xuan naturally had to come personally to extend an invitation."
Xuanqing bowed his hands again.
Upon hearing this,
The Earth Queen Lady's eyes lit up, and then dimmed as she somberly explained, "This… I fear I must decline your kind offer."
"Ever since I merged with the Earthly Path, according to the rules of Heavenly Dao, I can never leave the Netherworld, even if before… it was merely incarnations."
"Alas!" The Earth Queen Lady let out a long sigh.
Spending her days in the gloomy Netherworld, how she also wished to visit the Human World, to experience the cold of the Tai Yin star and the warmth of the Sun Star.
But alas!
"Hehe~"
Xuanqing chuckled softly, then explained, "Elder Houtu need not worry so; the six saints have reported to Realm Master Hong Jun, and the Heavenly Path has issued a special pardon, allowing Her Highness to go to Black Wind to attend the banquet."
With these words spoken.
"Wow…" The Earth Queen Lady's eyes shimmered with crystalline light, her heart thrilling with joy.
She didn't doubt these words at all; after all, if the six saints truly spoke to the Heavenly Path, as long as it wasn't endangering the world, mere Heavenly Dao rules… were not important.
"Thank you!" The Earth Queen Lady smiled faintly.
"You're welcome."
Xuanqing smiled and waved his hand.
Afterward.
His figure disappeared into the Netherworld.
….
Next.
Xuanqing personally visited several places, Longevity Mountain Wuzhuang View, the Star Lord Mansion of Heavenly Court, the Headquarter of the Heavenly River Navy…
In the end, Xuanqing went to the Douluo Palace and found his former mentor, Old Lord Taishang. After a long conversation, Xuanqing expressed that although his cultivation had eliminated the ties of sect affiliation, he would never forget his past experiences.
All in all!
Xuanqing nearly visited all those who had shown him kindness in the past, personally inviting them to attend the banquet at Black Wind Mountain.
Although the six saints had returned and these dignitaries had gone to pay their respects, the reason he hadn't spoken up right then was because he felt it would put undue pressure on these benefactors.
For example.
If you truly consider someone a good friend and you've succeeded outside, and then when your friend pays respects to a VIP, if you invite the VIP, it can put a lot of pressure on them.
Therefore.
When the six saints appeared in Primordial and the bigwigs of the Three Realms came to pay tribute, he, the great hero of Primordial, didn't even show his face for fear of pressuring these people from his past.
….
…
Five Years later.
A banquet that shook the Three Realms was held in the Taichu Dojo at Black Wind Sacred Mountain.
According to incomplete statistics, anyone with any prominence in the Three Realms attended the event.
The highest in status were naturally the six saints of Primordial and the Earth Queen Lady of the Earthly Path, followed by Emperor Haotian, Tathagata Buddha… and so on.
"Today, we hold this banquet in the Land of Black Wind to celebrate Primordial overcoming a cataclysmic disaster, and from now on… our world shall exist in perpetuity!"
Xuanqing rose from the main seat, holding up a Golden Cup filled with an upgraded version of Drunk Golden Immortal… Drunken Da Luo.
As his voice fell,
The six saints sitting beside Xuanqing all stood up together, subtly conveying the feeling that they regarded Xuanqing as their big brother.
"I, Taiqing, on behalf of the Human Teachings, am grateful for the salvation grace of Daoist Friend Xuanqing!"
"I, Tongtian, on behalf of the Intercepting Teachings, am grateful for the salvation grace of Daoist Friend Xuanqing!"
"I, Lingbao, on behalf of the Expounding Teachings, am grateful for the salvation grace of Daoist Friend Xuanqing!"
"I, Nuwa, representing all of the Devil Race, am grateful…."
"I, Zhunti/Jieyin, representing the Western Religion, am grateful…."
"I…."
….
With the opening words of the six saints, the entire banquet was driven to an absolute climax.
After the six saints had finished speaking, all the creatures who had come to join the banquet stood up, their expressions filled with utmost reverence as they looked toward Xuanqing, who sat at the main seat.
"We the myriad creatures are grateful to the Master of the Primordial Beginning….."
Seeing this scene,
Xuanqing felt somewhat moved in his heart.
Regardless of the origins of these creatures, the gratitude they felt at that time was definitely heartfelt.
Because… he could already feel the dense incense belief arising, these creatures had actually started to hold faith incense fire towards him.
It is worth mentioning that,
the higher the cultivation of an individual, the more incense belief they can generate, but correspondingly… the higher the cultivation, the harder it is to generate faith.
From this, it can be known that these creatures were genuinely grateful to him, Xuanqing.
"Good, I, Xuanqing of the Taichu Dao Court, am willing to join you all in building a better Primordial World…."
…
…..
The banquet continued for another Five Years.
Finally,
there is no feast that doesn't come to an end; everyone from the Three Realms had their fill of both food and drink. Some creatures with old grudges seized the opportunity to turn their hostilities into friendships during the banquet.
After it ended,
the six Great Sages, including the Two Sages of the West, promised Xuanqing that they would allow him to replicate all the magical treasures they held in their hands.
Regarding this,
of course, Xuanqing graciously thanked them.
He planned to go to the endless chaos in the Real World after, and once he went there, he would start with nothing.
If he could replicate the magical treasures of the six sages of Primordial Chaos into the Game Mall, it would undoubtedly add to his foundation.
"Elder Zhenyuan, please take your time… Here is an Ancient God Pill, consuming it will strengthen your bloodline, take it with you…"
At the foot of Black Wind Mountain,
Xuanqing escorted Great Immortal Zhenyuan here and took out a green sphere wrapped around a fake second-tier Ancient Archon's origin from his bosom.
This object was created using a leaf from the Swallowing Sky Tree as a tool, which wrapped around the fake second-tier Ancient Archon's origin.
As a result,
the fake second-tier Ancient Archon's origin inside would gradually release the Ancient Archon's power over time, allowing one's physical body and God Soul to slowly strengthen.
This… was the 'Ancient God Pill' that Xuanqing had created himself.
At this moment,
facing the Elixir passed over by Xuanqing, Great Immortal Zhenyuan hesitated but eventually accepted the Elixir, saying,
"Thank you, Daoist Friend Xuanqing… however, from now on, you may simply call me Zhenyuan."
After saying this,
Great Immortal Zhenyuan glanced one more time at the six saintly lights atop the mountain. Though he considered himself the Ancestor of the Earth Immortals, he did not dare to regard himself as an equal to the Sages, let alone allow Xuanqing to continue to address him as Senior.
Hearing this,
Xuanqing was silent for a moment before seemingly coming to an understanding, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Very well, Daoist Friend Zhenyuan!"
Lastly, he added, "Daoist Friend Zhenyuan, please do make good use of this pill often. When the day comes that you attain the body of an Ancient Archon, I, Xuanqing, will take you to explore even vaster worlds."
As the saying goes, "A plum for a peach"—a favour returned for a kindness received.
How Great Immortal Zhenyuan had treated him in the past was something Xuanqing hadn't forgotten in the slightest. He most certainly wasn't the kind to play the faithless using the ploy of the divine power that enwraps one's mother.
A cultivator's… lifelong wish is to see higher scenery.
Therefore,
Xuanqing allowed those who had shown him kindness to stand on his shoulders and join him in gazing upon more distant views!

"Hahaha, good, good, good~"
Great Immortal Zhenyuan laughed heartily, filled with joy. The slight constraint he had felt towards Xuanqing dissipated at that moment, leaving nothing behind.
"I, Zhen Yuan, shall certainly follow in the Daoist Friend's footsteps and ascend higher to take a look!"
"Daoist Friend, there's no need to see me off, farewell!!"
….
Xuanqing watched as Great Immortal Zhenyuan departed.
Afterward.
He saw Taiqing Daode Tianzun flying down from the mountain and approaching him, and then spoke.
"Daoist Friend Xuanqing!"
Taiqing Daode Tianzun greeted with a cupped fist salute, subsequently wearing a secretive expression on his face, as if he was about to divulge something important.
"Hmm?"
Seeing this.
Xuanqing felt a touch of curiosity, what could this secretiveness be about?
Then…
He saw Taiqing Daode Tianzun point towards Heaven, lowering his voice to say, "Daoist Friend Xuanqing, that person has descended, and is now inside the Great Hall of the Dao Court."
That person?
Which person?
Xuanqing was momentarily taken aback, then quickly realized whom the other was referring to – the Heavenly Path of the Primordial World… that Daozu Hongjun who merged with the Way?
Could this being be visiting his Taichu Dojo for a matter concerning him?
"Thank you, Senior Taiqing, this junior shall return immediately," Xuanqing said as he bowed with clasped hands, then in an instant, disappeared from the base of the mountain.
…
…
Outside the Main Hall.
Following proper etiquette, he did not teleport directly inside but stood outside the door and knocked on the grand entrance of the Great Hall.
Knock~ Knock knock
Creak~
The door opened automatically.
"Huh~" Xuanqing stepped inside, and the scene that met his eyes surprised him.
He saw a figure with bulging muscles and a face covered in a beard and white hair, exuding both a majestic and a Daoist charm, a combination of a rugged 'old man' and a tower-like 'robust man.'
Dominance~ Elegance… These two completely different auras merged into one.
"You have arrived, lad!" the person spoke.
"Xuan has the honor to meet… err… Daozu Hongjun? Or Father God? Or…" Xuanqing opened his mouth, but for a moment, he did not know how to address the other.
He could tell at a glance that the person before him was definitely not entirely Daozu Hongjun.
"Hahaha… Titles are of little significance, you just need to know that I am from the Ancient God Clan, the master of the Pan God Peak lineage," the figure laughed heartily.
"Speaking of which… you, this little fellow, can be considered my descendant!"
Ancient God Clan… Pan God Peak?
Xuanqing silently noted down the name, and then respectfully performed a grand salute to the figure before him, who should be regarded as an incarnation of Pangu.
"Junior Xuanqing pays respect to the Master of Pan God Peak!"
"Hmm!"
The Pangu incarnation smiled and nodded slightly, then said, "Good lad, would you like to become my disciple?"
Upon hearing these words.
A thought stirred in Xuanqing's heart, a suspicion that perhaps the Pangu God intended to choose him as a successor, and then…
With that in mind.
He did not hesitate and replied:
"This junior is willing to enter the fold of the Master of Pan God Peak!"
"Hahaha…good, good, good, although I, Pangu, failed in my cultivation, acquiring you as a disciple makes this life worthwhile!"
The Pangu incarnation laughed loudly, his words filled with emotion.
Then.
He stretched out his right hand, gathered a point of light, and touched it to Xuanqing's brow.
"Master, what are you…" Xuanqing was startled, stepping back.
Seeing this.
The Pangu incarnation remained unperturbed, cheerfully explaining:
"Child, don't be afraid. I'm just marking you with the insignia of Pan God Peak, to prevent anyone else from claiming you when you return to the clan someday."
"Eh… Okay."
Xuanqing forced a smile.
It wasn't that he was scared since as a game player, how could he fear being taken over by the Pangu God? His retreat was merely a subconscious reaction.
Afterward.
The illuminated fingertip of the Pangu incarnation touched Xuanqing's forehead.
In an instant.
Xuanqing felt a coolness in his mind, then received information about the 'Ancient God' clan and a set of cultivation techniques.
Pantheon's Nine Transformations!!
Yet… strangely, this technique only had a name and a basic introduction, lacking detailed cultivation content.
Just as he was puzzled, he heard the voice of the Pangu incarnation.
"Child, this Pantheon's Nine Transformations is my cultivation method, but my current incarnation cannot contain its content. When you return to the clan, you should go to the Scripture Pavilion to search for it. I have placed it in…."
Hearing this.
Xuanqing understood.
This situation was fairly normal since cultivation techniques at a certain level contain 'dominating' information.
For example, his own Heaven Devouring Saintly Art would be too overwhelming to be recorded on ordinary paper, barely able to support even one character.
And this Pantheon's Nine Transformations, an art even above the Chaos Immortal level practiced by the Pangu God, understandably could not be contained by this fraction of a being.
Of course.
Although Xuanqing had now become a disciple under the Pangu God of Pan God Peak, he did not plan to cultivate the Pantheon's Nine Transformations.
At most, he would refer to it later to improve his own Heaven Devouring Saintly Art and deduce the parts related to Chaos Immortal cultivation.
"Many thanks to the Master of Pan God Peak!" Xuanqing bowed deeply, voicing his thanks.
"Hahaha…"
Accompanied by bursts of hearty laughter, the figure of the Pangu incarnation gradually faded and finally disappeared completely within the Great Hall.
…..
….
In the study of the Taichu Dojo.
Xuanqing was seated at the main position, with the six saints of the Primordial World each seated at his sides.

Chapter 568: Chapter 394: Hong Jun? Pangu? The True Origin!_2
"Now that all of you have returned to the Primordial World, it is certain that the sects of Jie, Chan, and Ren will be restarted, and Shimen will also return to the Western Religion,"
"However… We are all part of the Primordial World, and to prevent the events of the Conferment of Gods from occurring again, Xuanqing suggests that we sign a Peace Agreement…"
As he spoke,
He waved his right hand, and six rays of light flew towards the six saints, eventually turning into a stack of documents detailing the contents of the agreement.
A Peace Agreement?
The saints were curious as they picked up the agreement in their hands and scrutinized it.
There was a lot written on it, but the gist was that large-scale battles were not allowed, nor was the slaughter of mortals…
If there were any conflicts, they could only be resolved in a fighting arena, and cultivators' battles were not allowed to affect mortals… and so on.
Overall,
It was a Peace Agreement that ensured fair competition among all for the incense belief of mortals, without any underhanded tricks.
After reading it,
Tongtian, the leader of the sect, was the first to speak, and he said aloud, "Friend Xuanqing, this is a good method. If we had had this agreement during the time of the Conferment of Gods, it would not have…."
In saying this, he glared viciously at the Two Sages of the West, his meaning was clear: if there had been an agreement back then, these two thick-skinned ones wouldn't have been able to take advantage.
Taiqing Daode Tianzun also happily agreed; his Ren religion didn't have many followers to begin with, and he had no intention to compete for the world's incense belief.
Now that the Three Pure Ones had once again become one, with both Tongtian and Taiqing having spoken, the remaining Lingbao Tianzun naturally had no objections and silently nodded, indicating his agreement as well.
At this point,
Everyone turned their attention to Her Highness Nuwa, as well as Zhunti and Jieyin.
"It doesn't matter to me. The Devil Race has already withdrawn from the Primordial World's stage. Having Beiju Luzhou as a place to recuperate and proliferate is sufficient!" Her Highness Nuwa smiled and signed her name on the agreement.
Now, only the Two Sages of the West remained.
Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged glances, then spoke in turn, "We, too, are willing to sign this Peace Agreement."
And so,
The future power dynamics of the Primordial World were decided in the study room of the Taichu Dao Court.
After the agreement was signed,
Taiqing Daode Tianzun turned his attention to Xuanqing and asked, "Friend Xuanqing, do you know of the matter regarding the Father God's origin?"
Upon these words being uttered,
All eyes were on Xuanqing, and everyone perked up their ears.
Although the current crisis in the Primordial World had been resolved, it did not mean there were no more issues.
Even without the consumption caused by the ten great demons, the Primordial World would still, over time, see its World Origin slowly diminish and eventually be eroded by the Endless Chaos.
That is to say… whether the Primordial World could survive eternally depended on Xuanqing, the entity capable of creating Ancient Archon origins.
This was also the reason why, when Xuanqing had proposed the Peace Agreement, none of the six saints of the Primordial World had objected.
Forget fair competition; even if Xuanqing had forcefully fused their sects together, they would have agreed just to keep the Primordial World alive.
Of course, Xuanqing was never the kind of person to use unscrupulous methods, and certainly would not do such a thing.
Hearing the words of the former Grand Preceptor, he immediately responded,
"Senior Taiqing, rest assured, I have said before that the Primordial World is my second home, and the matter of the World Origin in the future… will continue just as before."
With these words,
Hearts of the saints were completely at ease, and the weight they carried on their shoulders was completely lifted.
And so… the Primordial World finally had no more worries for the future.
…..
Two days later,
With the departure of the six saints of the Primordial World, Black Wind Sacred Mountain once again returned to its usual tranquility.
In the main hall of the Taichu Dao Court.
Xuanqing sat cross-legged on the futon, his mind immersed in the Game Login Device, reviewing the notifications that had appeared in his mind when he had slain the demons.
[Ding…1 Chaos Point!]
[Ding…1 Chaos Point!]
…
Upon reviewing the notifications from the Game Login Device, there were seven messages in total, all indicating '1 Chaos Point.'
"I self-destructed to slay seven demons, obtaining seven Chaos Points?"
Xuanqing thought to himself.
Since the update of the Immortal Cultivation Game, besides Ingots, there was a new currency called Chaos Points. However, for so long, his Chaos Points had always been zero, so he hadn't paid much attention to it.
Unexpectedly,
Killing a demon actually yielded this Chaos Point, and for each demon, the increase was by one point.
However,
"
Xuanqing speculated in his heart that it probably had nothing to do with whether one was a demon god or not. The reason he obtained Chaos Points was because of the demon god's cultivation realm.
It is highly likely… that one could obtain 1 Chaos Point by slaying a creature of the Chaos Immortal Realm.
But, it was still unclear what these Chaos Points could be used for; perhaps they would be needed to upload higher-level goods in the Endless Chaos in the future, or there might be some new functions that would also require the consumption of Chaos Points.
"Perhaps… once I go to the Endless Chaos, I will be able to understand what exactly these Chaos Points are for."
Xuanqing thought to himself quietly.
…
Besides Chaos Points.
There was another puzzle in his heart.
It was a puzzle about the relationship between the 'Real World' and 'Game Character'… What exactly was their relationship?
Ever since he obtained the Game Login Device, there had always been a rule… that the cultivation levels in the Game World and the Real World influenced each other.
What does that mean?
If Xuanqing broke through to a Quasi-Sage in the Game World, then his physical body in the Real World would also break through to a Quasi-Sage, and their cultivation levels would become identical.
Conversely.
If he became a Chaos Immortal in the Real World, then his Game character would also possess the cultivation of a Chaos Immortal.
When Xuanqing became a Chaos Immortal in the Real World, it was by utilizing 'Body Transformation World', and the world within this 'Body Transformation World' was… Water Blue Star!
That is to say, the method he practiced to become a Chaos Immortal was by refining Water Blue Star into his Physical Body and integrating all the planets he had devoured into it, finally becoming a Great Thousand World.
So then… the question arises!
Would the Water Blue Star that had been refined into his Physical Body in the Real World manifest within his body after logging into the Game?
If Water Blue Star also manifested in the game after logging in, then… would the humans on Water Blue Star be manifested in the game as well?
This question was extremely important.
After his breakthrough to Chaos Immortal, he had only thought about dealing with the ten great demon gods; now that matter was resolved, this puzzle reentered his mind.
If the Bluewater Realm, and the humans living on it, were refined into his body, would that also be manifested?
Wouldn't that mean… there would be two identical lives?
Is there a Yang Ying in the physical entity of Water Blue Star?
Is there also a Yang Ying in the Game character's body?
With these doubts in mind,
Xuanqing stood up and began to operate his Cultivation Techniques…
Body Transformation World!!!
In an instant.
He went from his original Ancient Archon human form to a Crystal Ball, within which was the Bluewater Realm world.
Xuanqing looked into the Bluewater Realm, and after seeing the situation within clearly, he breathed a great sigh of relief.
He saw that the mountains, rivers, and even the buildings inside the Game character's body's Bluewater Realm were exactly the same as in the Real World.
But!!
There was one difference between the two.
The Bluewater Realm within this Game character's body had no life present, not even a single microorganism or viral cell.
It was merely the lifeless world of Water Blue Star that had been synchronized to the game!!
"It seems that life is unique, and even the Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device cannot manifest it."
Xuanqing muttered softly.
Now.
The matters of the Primordial World had… temporarily come to a close.
With this thought in mind,
"Exit Game!"
…
…
Real World, Universe Space.
Within the Solar System,
aside from the lonely sun emitting light and heat, there were no other planets in sight.
But in a corner of this star domain lay a marble-sized crystal ball, lying quietly.
Humming~
The crystal ball glowed faintly, as if life were awakening.
"The form of a crystal ball… is still a bit unfamiliar…"
"
Chapter 569: Chapter 395: The Bizarre Ancient God Clan and Ancestor Huang!_1
Under the state of Body Transformation World, the difference from the human form is too great, especially in terms of sensory perception of the surroundings.
Let alone between humans and the world, even between humans and dogs, what their eyes, ears, and touch can sense is completely different.
This moment.
After returning to the Real World,
Xuanqing immediately focused his mind on the world within his own body.
When he saw that everything in the Bluewater Realm inside him was in such perfect order under the management of his followers, he relaxed.
By the way,
he gathered up the power of incense fire that had accumulated during this time, and then silently chanted in his heart:
"Recharge!"
[Ding… 1826 trillion Ingots!]
Compared to the figure of over ninety million trillion Ingots he currently possessed, a mere eighteen hundred trillion was nothing.
But he was still very happy.
"This trip to the Primordial consumed ten years, which is one year in the Real World. By this calculation… my daily income from the power of incense has grown to five trillion!"
Xuanqing's mouth curved up slightly.
Indeed.
Last time, before he left, he improved the physique of his subordinates like Elder Jingde and Elder Qianqing, and then he also enhanced the physique of the billions of humans living inside with the Origin of the Ancient Archon.
It had only been one year, and the results were already evident; the income from the power of incense skyrocketed to five trillion a day, proving that his management direction was correct.
After returning to the Endless Chaos World and the Ancient God Clan, this power of incense would be the foundation for his rapid development.
"The cultivation of humanity, whether their faith is devout, in the future, the development of the Bluewater Realm within me will focus on these two aspects. If there are people with exceptional talents… awarding them with the bloodline of the Ancient Archon and taking them to the Endless Chaos wouldn't be bad."
Xuanqing thought to himself.
Of course.
Even when the time comes to select people from the Bluewater Realm within him to go to the Endless Chaos, he would only choose from those with the most devout faith.
Most of the time, loyalty… is far more important than talent.
Right after that,
Xuanqing reviewed both the Primordial World and the Real World and, finding that nothing had been overlooked in either place…
Next, it meant he could safely switch login and enter the Endless Chaos World of the Real World.
"Switch map, login to Endless Chaos – Northern Galaxy Region!"
[Warm Reminder: A game character can only log into one map. Are you sure you want to log in to Endless Chaos – Northern Galaxy Region?]
Without any hesitation.
"Login!"
….
….
Northern Galaxy Domain.
Ancient World!
As the very center of the Northern Galaxy Domain, with the richest Chaos Energy, naturally the strongest forces in the entire Northern Galaxy Domain occupy such a fertile place…
The Ancient God Clan.
To date, the Ancient God Clan has occupied the central position of the Northern Galaxy Domain for over a hundred Yuan Years.
One Yuan Year = 10,800 years
One Yuan Year = 12 Yuan Years, corresponding to twelve cycles of the world = 129,600 years
This means that the Ancient God Clan has dominated the richest land in the Northern Galaxy Domain for tens of millions of years.
Over such a long period of time, the Ancient God Clan has also birthed countless prodigiously talented individuals, including one named: Pangu!
Pangu was born in the line of [Ancestor Huang]!
From his birth, he showed extraordinary talent, such that while normal members of the Ancient God Clan were still in their juvenile stages, Pangu could already dominate adults.
And after Pangu reached adulthood, he soon created his own Cultivation Method, and his cultivation speed soared, quickly making him the foremost among his contemporaries.
Speaking of which,
we must mention the structure of the Ancient God Clan.
The Ancient God Clan!
Besides the 'Chieftain Ancient Archon' who has never shown himself, and who is even mysterious in the eyes of his clan members, the biggest are…
The three Ancestors!
They are [Ancestor Huang[Ancestor Yun[Ancestor Dun]!
The three Ancestors of the Ancient God Clan each have their own unique characteristics.
Ancestor Dun: With the most volatile temperament, those of this line in the Ancient God Clan cultivate only the Physical Body… a Physical Body that is intensely powerful.
Even to pursue the ultimate Physical Body, Ancestor Dun merged his entire God Soul into his Physical Body, retaining only the most basic Spirit Light for daily communication within the clan.
..
Ancestor Yun: This line of the Ancient God Clan is the quirkiest. They are extremely lazy in temperament, so lazy that even if you yell at them, they are too lazy to bother with you.
Even… the cultivators of the Ancient God Clan from Ancestor Yun's line are too lazy to practice on a regular basis, relying solely on 'luck' and 'epiphanies' for progress.
This is because the Cultivation Techniques of Ancestor Yun's line are related to 'luck' and 'sleep', gaining strength through sleep to enhance Luck, thus making cultivation more efficient.
…
After talking about Ancestor Dun and Ancestor Yun, the last Ancestor within the Ancient God Clan, [Ancestor Huang, is the most normal of them.
Ancestor Huang: A line with comprehensive qualities, cultivating both God Soul and Physical Body, and like normal cultivators, they possess their own Lifebound Items. Furthermore, they have a very calm temperament.
Of course, this calm temperament is relative. It depends on who you compare it with. If you compare it with the line of Ancestor Dun, then it is quite calm. But if you compare it with other creatures from the Chaotic World, then it's not so peaceful.
In any case… for other clans, it doesn't matter which line of Ancient God you're facing, it's best to avoid them. Otherwise… at best, you'll be beaten up severely, or at worst, killed on the spot.

Chapter 570: Chapter 395: The Bizarre Ancient God Clan and Ancestor Huang!_2
To survive in the Northern Galaxy Domain, the first thing to do is to recognize the Ancient God Clan… Only by acquainting oneself with the Ancient God Clan can one avoid attracting disastrous trouble when taking action.
In summary.
In the whole Northern Galaxy Domain, the existence of the Ancient God Clan is notorious and absolutely not to be provoked.
….
…..
At this moment.
Right beside the Teleportation platform of the Ancient World, suddenly a burst of light flickered.
"Eh… A bloodline inheritor from the Lower Realm has ascended."
"Alas, after so many years, an inheritor has finally emerged; no telling which clan member has perished outside!"
"Our Ancient God Clan only releases its Origin willingly upon an accidental demise, thus giving birth to bloodline inheritors; it's uncertain how many inheritors will appear this time."
….
All the Ancient God Clan members passing by the Teleportation platform stopped to watch, curious to see what the newly emerged bloodline inheritor looked like.
It is worth mentioning that.
The reproduction method of the Ancient God Clan, besides the most basic way of having children, there is another extremely special method, known as: bloodline inheritor.
When a member of the Ancient God Clan perishes outside, they generally leave behind a thread of Obsession containing their Origin which will select a creature of fate, therefore activating the Origin and transforming this creature into a member of the Ancient God Clan.
"Do not make a ruckus, collect and contain your Qi. This newly ascended inheritor cannot bear it."
A chiding voice sounded.
A tall figure with a scar on his forehead, the young man, stepped forward to the entrance of the Teleportation platform.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Zhang Zhen!"
"Greetings, Senior Brother Zhang Zhen!"
…
Many Ancient God Clan members who were spectating hastily paid their respects to the chiding young man and began to collect their Qi.
It is worth mentioning that.
Once one's cultivation reaches a certain realm, the barrier of 'language' is no more, just as this Ancient God Clan member called 'Zhang Zhen' is named after the translation of Ancient Divine Language into the language of Water Blue Star.
At this moment.
Zhang Zhen stood guard at the entrance of the Teleportation platform, quietly closing his eyes as he waited for the new inheritor to arrive.
Moments later.
The faint light suddenly intensified, followed by a wave of fluctuations, then from within the Teleportation Array, a figure slowly appeared.
All eyes turned to look.
The youth was wearing a dark cyan robe, rather unremarkable in attire, but he held in his hand a 'hairy' stick, which emanated a faint trace of Chaos Qi.
"Eh… This inheritor's appearance is almost like that of our Ancient God Clan; could it be… the offspring of other clan members who perished outside?"
"Yes, previous inheritors didn't look this much like Ancient Gods!"
"It seems he must be a child of our clansfolk who was lost outside."
…
The crowd buzzed with discussion, none having expected that this inheritor was not only an inheritor but also a clansman of the Ancient God Clan who had been lost outside.
In fact.
In the long history of the Ancient God Clan, such cases of being both an inheritor and a clansman had occurred, though they were quite rare.
…..
At this moment.
Xuanqing was somewhat bewildered.
Why had he barely logged into the Game and already found himself surrounded by so many terrifyingly robust men?
He felt waves of powerful Qi from these onlookers, feeling like each of them could effortlessly beat him up.
"You've had your fun by now; why don't you disperse?"
Seeing Xuanqing's dumbfounded look, Zhang Zhen thought the many clanspeople had frightened the boy and promptly scolded the surrounding rubberneckers.
"Understood, Senior Brother Zhang Zhen."
"Let's scatter, let's scatter!"
"Hah~ so sleepy…"
Until the last yawning member of the Ancient God Clan from Ancestor Yun's lineage left, the area around the Teleportation platform finally became quiet.
At this time.
Zhang Zhen tried to make his expression softer as he turned his gaze towards Xuanqing on the Teleportation platform and asked:
"Child, how old are you this year, and who is your father?"
???
"Hmm?"
Xuanqing's mouth twitched slightly.
Could it be that they were treating him like a fool, asking such a question right off the bat.
However.
Perhaps he was just unfamiliar with the situation, and the Ancient God Clan always did this, regardless of who returned to the clan?
With this thought in mind.
Xuanqing's expression softened, and he immediately spoke up, "Replying to Senior Brother Zhang Zhen, this one is Xuanqing, hundreds of years of age, my father… uh… is a descendant of Pangu, and the inheritance is also that of Pangu."
When talking about his father, he hesitated slightly; after all, he had been an orphan with no parents since he was a child on Water Blue Star. In the end, according to his current bloodline, he named Pangu.
However.
After hearing these words.
Zhang Zhen's body trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he exclaimed in shock,
"Is… is it the Peak Master of Pan God Peak, Pangu?"
"It should be. He once told me that when I return to the clan's land, I must go to Pan God Peak."
Xuanqing's heart stirred.
Judging from the expression of Senior Brother Zhang Zhen from the Ancient God Clan, it seemed that the Pangu God was also a very famous existence among the Ancient God Clan?
"Hiss…"
Zhang Zhen, having received a definite reply, inhaled sharply and then his face changed drastically, yelling at the top of his lungs,
"Good heavens…the Peak Master of Pan God Peak has fallen, the Peak Master of Pan God Peak has actually fallen…"
Suddenly.
The loud voice was deafening, spreading far and wide. Many Ancient Gods, who were about to curse in anger during their practice, were immediately struck by the content of this voice.
The Peak Master of Pan God Peak… has actually fallen?
"Ah… The Peak Master of Pan God Peak has actually fallen, what has happened?"
"Let's go take a look. The sound seems to be coming from the direction of the teleportation platform, could it be that the inheritor of the Peak Master of Pan God Peak has appeared?"
"Is it true? The Peak Master of Pan God Peak was the most likely person to become the Ancestor in the recent Yuan Year. How could someone so powerful fall?"
"Everybody hurry up and take a look, it seems to be the inheritor of the Peak Master of Pan God Peak, or maybe even the descendant of the Peak Master himself."
….
For a time.
Centered around the teleportation platform, countless members of the Ancient God Clan gathered from all directions.
First, they were shocked by the news of the fall of the Peak Master of Pan God Peak, and then they were curious about this inheritor and descendant of the Peak Master.
When a throng of the Ancient God Clan members arrived near the teleportation platform, they found that a semi-transparent barrier had been erected.
Within the barrier stood a young man clad in a long robe, holding a staff magic treasure in his hand, and beside this young man stood…
Stood… ah… Ancestor Huang!!!!!!
Ancestor Huang??
Everyone was shocked and swiftly kneeled on one knee, calling out respectfully, "We pay our respects to Ancestor Huang!"
Ever since the mysterious chieftain of the God Clan disappeared, the entire Ancient God Clan had been managed by three ancestors, the highest in rank and authority and the most powerful beings in the clan.
"Disperse!"
Accompanied by a hoarse voice, these Ancient Gods from various branches, who had rushed over, all returned the same way they came.
…
After everyone had dispersed.
The semi-transparent barrier slowly opened, revealing the two people inside, one being Xuanqing and the other a lean middle-aged man with profound eyes, indeed Ancestor Huang from the Ancient God Clan.
"Child, seeing you come from the Netherworld, that boy Pangu… could it be that he fell within the Netherworld?"
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing was startled, not expecting that the ancient ancestor of the God Clan would see through his origins with a single glance, and even inquire about Pangu.
After a moment's contemplation.
He felt that it was best to tell the truth to such a presence, and besides… aside from the Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device, there was nothing to hide.
With this in mind.
Xuanqing immediately spoke, "Reporting to Ancestor Huang, my Father God did not fall in the Dark Realm, but in the Endless Chaos, though not within the Northern Galaxy Domain."
Not within the Northern Galaxy Domain?
Upon hearing this.
A look of surprise flickered through Ancestor Huang's profound eyes, and then he continued to inquire, "Not in the Northern Galaxy Domain? Could it be another domain within the galaxy? But why has our Ancient God Clan not received any news?"
"The situation is like this…" Xuanqing took a deep breath and then began to narrate…..

Chapter 571: Chapter 396: Inheriting the Clan Heritage of Pangu_1
"The matter is as follows…"
"I am indeed a member of the Netherworld's Human Race, but I had the luck to travel to a Primordial World. In that world, there is a legend that during ancient times…"
…
"Eventually, I killed seven out of the ten demon gods, and my Father God appeared before me to pass down his legacy… and he instructed that upon returning to our clan's territory, I must go to Pan God Peak."
Xuanqing recounted the causes and consequences of his situation unhurriedly.
With his current cultivation, fabricating stories in front of an existence like Ancestor Huang was pointless. Moreover, he disdained to do so.
Therefore.
In his entire narrative, aside from concealing details about the 'Immortal Cultivation Game Login Device,' he spoke truthfully about everything else.
At this moment.
After listening to Xuanqing's story.
Ancestor Huang fell into contemplation, and only after a long while did he heave a sigh and say, "It's all about timing and fate, I have long heard that the Endless Chaos is immense… boundless indeed, but I never expected Pangu to have encountered such a fate."
"Child, indeed your God Soul and Physical Body belong to our Ancient God Clan, but you are not a descendant of Pangu. You are a descendant of Ancestor Yun's lineage from our Ancient God Clan."
"However… you are now the inheritor of Pan God Peak, which belongs to my Ancient Clan."
"So… child, would you prefer to stay on Pan God Peak, or return to the lineage of Ancestor Yun?"
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing was stunned.
He never imagined that he actually belonged to the Ancient God Clan, just not a descendent of Pangu but instead from 'Ancestor Yun'?
He was from the Bluewater Realm, which meant, by that logic, didn't it imply that the humans living on Water Blue Star in the Real World Universe were all descendants of Ancestor Yun's lineage?
After thinking it over.
He decided it would be better to go to Pan God Peak. After all, he had already promised Pangu, and he did not favor the Cultivation methods of Ancestor Yun's lineage.
"Replying to Ancestor Huang, I have already promised the master of Pan God Peak that upon returning to the clan territory, I am to go to Pan God Peak!" Xuanqing spoke.
"Hmm."
Ancestor Huang nodded, then waved at Xuanqing, saying, "Pangu has fallen, accompany me to complete the transition of Pan God Peak."
As his words fell.
Shua~
With a wave of Ancestor Huang's sleeves, Xuanqing was enveloped and vanished along with him from the Teleportation platform.
…
…
An hour later.
Xuanqing arrived at the foot of a mountain range that stretched endlessly into the distance.
This mountain range was named: Pan God Peak!
Despite being called a mountain peak, its size was far from small, even comparable to the not-yet-transformed Water Blue Star in the Great Thousand Worlds.
"Who would have thought that I would inherit such a vast legacy immediately upon returning to my clan's land!"
Gazing at the towering mountains piercing the clouds.
A tinge of emotion flickered in Xuanqing's eyes.
After that.
With a flip of his hand, a Token appeared in his palm. On the front of the Token were the words 'Pan God,' and on the back was his portrait.
"Open!"
Xuanqing uttered in a low voice.
It was as if a layer of obstruction in the air was broken, and a desolate mountain path appeared under his feet.
In the God Clan, no matter which peak of which lineage of the three Ancestors, they all have the unique defense Formations of the God Clan.
Only by possessing the corresponding Token can one open the Formation and enter.
Afterward.
Xuanqing stepped into the mountain range.
Rich Chaos Energy enveloped him, and without even deliberately operating his Cultivation Techniques, he could feel his Physical Body and God Soul slowly advancing.
Indeed, the local environment nurtures its inhabitants.
Just think.
Beings living in such an environment would likely be born with the cultivation of Great Luo, merely practicing a bit could step into Quasi-sage, which is referred to in this realm as a Half-step Chaos Immortal.
And for existences like the Ancient God Clan, who are inherently extraordinary, being born as Chaos Immortals, casual practice could make one a Chaos True Monarch.
"First, I shall build a Temporary Palace!"
Xuanqing glanced around, searching for a wide and flat area.
Subsequently.
With a sweep of his hand, he took out various building materials from his Game Backpack, all collected from the Primordial World.
"Go!"
The next moment.
Countless Natural Treasures started to arrange themselves in mid-air, some melting into Room Beams, some transforming into roofs, and others becoming neatly cut floor tiles.
Quite quickly.
A three-section Taoist temple was erected successfully.
Having been a Taoist for so many years, though he has renounced his monastic identity, he still found Taoist temples more comfortable to live in.
Entering the room.
He took out a Cushion from his Game Backpack once more.
"Hoo~"
Xuanqing sat cross-legged, feeling the familiar objects in the room, and finally relaxed.
…
Half an hour earlier.
He had accompanied Ancestor Huang to Ancient Drought Peak, where in addition to receiving a follower's Token, he obtained a few pale yellow Chaos Crystal Stones.
With a thought.
The Token inscribed with the words 'Pan God,' along with the pale yellow Chaos Crystal Stones, quietly floated in the air.
"This Token can not only be used as a pass for newcomers but also can be used for communication between clan members."
Xuanqing closely inspected the Token floating in the air.
From this viewpoint, the Token reminded him of the mobile Phone back in the Bluewater Realm; naturally, he became proficient with its operations quickly.
With a light tap of his Fingertips.
Another portrait appeared on the Token, and above the portrait was a name annotation…
Huang!
It was his only 'clan friend,' none other than one of the three Ancient God Clan Ancestors, Ancestor Huang. It was stored mutually when they exchanged Tokens.

Chapter 572: Chapter 396: Inheriting the Clan Heritage of Pangu_2
It's worth mentioning.
Though Xuanqing had just returned to the clan, he easily inherited a mountain peak and received a transmission from an ancestor.
In fact.
For the majority of the Ancient God Clan, the highest person they usually have contact with is just their own 'Master of the Peak,' and on ordinary days, they deal with Senior Brothers, the elders in the mission hall, Scripture Pavilion, Enforcement Hall… and so on.
The reason Xuanqing received such treatment as soon as he returned, and even directly obtained communication from one of the three ancestors, Ancestor Huang, was purely because he took great advantage of Pangu.
Years ago.
Pangu was the strongest individual of his time and the strongest in Ancestor Huang's lineage, touted as the genius most likely to become a new ancestor within the Yuan Year.
Naturally.
As such, Pangu held a special place in Ancestor Huang's heart, and as Pangu's inheritor, who was also a widower of the Ancient God Clan.
That's what allowed Xuanqing to enjoy such treatment upon his return to the Ancient God Clan.
Actually.
The Ancient God Clan was currently in an uproar. The news of the fall of the Pan God Peak Master had been staggering, and Xuanqing, as the successor to the Pan God Peak Master, had stirred everyone's curiosity.
They all wondered what this new Pan God Peak Master looked like, how his cultivation talents were, and whether he could recreate the legend of the Pan God Peak Master… and so on.
…
Putting away the token.
Xuanqing then turned his gaze to the side, where the pale yellow Chaos Crystals floated in midair.
"View information!"
[Name: Lower Grade Chaos Crystal
[Usage: Contains pure Chaotic Qi, can be directly absorbed for practice, or used for setting up formations, forging, powering up magic treasures… etc.
"This is a good item, equivalent to the Heaven and Earth spiritual crystals of the Primordial World?"
Xuanqing muttered softly, then held a Lower Grade Chaos Crystal in his hand.
Absorb!
Puff~
The pure Chaos Energy was absorbed, and finally flowed into the Bluewater Realm, turning into vast Heaven and Earth spiritual Qi.
"Not bad, it's good for aiding in cultivation."
Xuanqing picked up another Chaos Crystal that hadn't been absorbed and murmured to himself:
"Upload to the game mall!"
[Product uploading…5%…46%…98%…100%!]
The progress bar moved quickly, perhaps because the quality of this item wasn't high to begin with, or maybe it was because his cultivation had increased.
It took just a moment before the quantifier's notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding~ Congratulations, upload successful, mall increment: Lower Grade Chaos Crystal (1)]
"One point?"
Could it be….
Xuanqing's mind raced, and he immediately opened the game mall and located the Lower Grade Chaos Crystal he had just uploaded.
As expected.
The suffix of the item displayed that '1' Chaos Point was needed to purchase one.
"It's just a pity that Ingots can't be used to purchase it, and Chaos Points can only be obtained by slaying Chaos Beings."
"Just don't know if there are other ways to obtain Chaos Points, such as with Ingots, using some item to recharge…"
Suddenly.
Xuanqing looked at the Lower Grade Chaos Crystal in his hand and an idea struck him.
He had just thought about recharging; why not try recharging with this Lower Grade Chaos Crystal?
Immediately.
With a thought.
"Recharge!" With the Lower Grade Chaos Crystal in his hand, Xuanqing silently invoked.
[Ding…1 Chaos Point.]
Indeed!
The sound from his mind confirmed his guess, though it was a pity it didn't seem to be of much use.
After all, to exchange for a Lower Grade Chaos Crystal, he needed Chaos Points, and to get Chaos Points, he had to recharge with a Chaos Crystal.
"However, Chaos Points are certainly not just for purchasing items, they can also be used for higher level practical functions."
Xuanqing whispered to himself.
After the quantifier was updated, not only did the interface change, but also some former quantifier features were adjusted accordingly.
For instance, functions like Time acceleration and Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom, which could be used before becoming a Chaos Immortal by spending Ingots, now required Chaos Points after the breakthrough.
"Perhaps… by arbitraging goods, I could turn a profit in Chaos Crystals, then recharge them into Chaos Points, and exchange them for desired resources."
Xuanqing secretly pondered.
….
After studying Chaos Points and Chaos Crystal Stones,
Xuanqing began to contemplate his plans going forward.
First of all,
Ancestor Huang had told him that each returning clansperson could first go to the cultivation grounds of the Ancient God Clan to undergo the baptism of the Thunder Tribulation of Law.
Only after undergoing the baptism could they avoid being rejected by the Endless Chaos, and their bloodline and God Soul would be cleansed and significantly enhanced.
What's more important,
Lower Realm cultivators who aspired to become Chaos Immortals must first undergo the baptism of the tribulation to adjust to the law environment of the Endless Chaos if they wished to continue their cultivation.
"Rest for a few days, then undergo the Thunder Tribulation of Law baptism, and finally visit the Scripture Pavilion to see the cultivation techniques left by Father God Pangu."
Soon,
Xuanqing had worked out his itinerary for what was to come.
…
…..
Several days later,
At the cultivation grounds.
A few empty Martial Arts Arenas, plus a tower, composed the cultivation grounds of Ancestor Huang's lineage.
This place wasn't a traditional Martial Arts Arena, but rather a construction made up of countless overlaying spaces.
Cultivation… Inside the tower, each room was smaller than the Great Thousand Worlds, the entire tower put together… was probably several times bigger than the Primordial World.
If it was a Heavenly Tribulation baptism, it had to be conducted in the open Martial Arts Arena, because it required connecting to the laws of the Endless Chaos to form the unique Thunder Tribulation of Law.
"Halt!"
"I am Xuanqing, Master of Pan God Peak, here to undergo the Thunder Tribulation of Law."
As he spoke,
Xuanqing handed over the token that represented Pan God Peak.
Pan God Peak?
The guard was slightly startled, then exclaimed, "You are the Inheritor of the Pan God Peak, the new Master of Pan God Peak that has been the talk of recent days?"
"Mhm."
Xuanqing nodded slightly, his heart somewhat surprised; he had not expected his fame to have already spread throughout the Ancient God Clan upon his return.
The guard meticulously checked the token in his hand, and finding no issues, he then returned it to Xuanqing.
"Master Xuanqing, please enter. If you have any problems, feel free to call me."
"Thank you."
Xuanqing wasn't surprised by the guard's respectful address of him as 'Master',
among the Ancient God Clan, the lowest rung naturally consisted of ordinary disciples within the various peaks.
Moving upward, were the masters of the clan's mountain peaks.
And he, as the Inheritor of Pan God Peak, with Pangu being the sole occupant of that peak,
naturally assumed the mantle of Pan God Peak upon his return to the clan land, becoming the new Master of Pan God Peak.
This moment,
After watching the new Master of Pan God Peak enter the Martial Arts Arena,
the guard withdrew his gaze, a gossipy expression appeared on his face, and he immediately took out his own token, whispering mysteriously:
"Brothers, guess who I just encountered?"
"I bet you bumped into a Chiying Bird poking at your big bird," roared a cultivator from the Huang Faction.
"Tao brother, didn't you just take on a guard duty? Who else could you have bumped into?"
This was a cultivator of the Ancient God Clan from the Huang Faction, with stable temperament due to simultaneous cultivation of spirit and body.
"Ha~ I'm so sleepy, Tao, don't disturb me from sleeping. If I miss my cultivation because of you, I won't let you off easily."
The last one, naturally, was a cultivator from the Yun Faction, who cultivated through sleep and sudden insights, always preferring to lie down rather than stand.
…
Reading the comments from his clansmen in the token,
"Heh heh~"
The guard was not annoyed but chuckled instead, and stopped beating around the bush, immediately saying:
"The former Inheritor of Pan God Peak, the new Master of Pan God Peak!"
As soon as these words were uttered,
Instantly,
The entire chat group within the token exploded.
You should know,
In the recent days, the entire Ancient God Clan had been buzzing with discussions about the 'Fall of the Pan God Peak Master', 'Appearance of Pan God Peak's Inheritor', 'Historically weakest Master of the Peak'… and so on.
In this world, where the main theme was cultivation, the usual entertainment activities apart from fighting were gossip about various mighty beings and their secrets.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 573: Chapter 397: Shocking, Surpassing Pangu!_1
Unfortunately.
As the strongest of his time, Pangu was always the focus of the entire Ancient God Clan, and as Pangu's inheritor, Xuanqing naturally received a great deal of attention as well.
The boundless messages in the token appeared all at once in an instant.
"It's over, I can't sleep, and since I'm not sleepy anyway, why not go to the Martial Arts Arena in Huang Faction and see how many Thunderbolts of Law this new Pan God Peak master can withstand?"
"Let's go together, let's go together!"
"I want to see what kind of skills this new master has, to be so valued by the former Pan God Peak master and chosen as the inheritor."
…
Whiz~
The guard put away the token, his face revealing an excited smile.
Afterwards.
His eyes fixated unwaveringly in the direction of the Martial Arts Arena. This was major news, not to be missed even by those who weren't hindered by 'Luck Veins'.
….
Soon.
The news that the Pan God Peak inheritor was ready to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation at the Martial Arts Arena spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, throughout the Ancient God Clan.
Because of Pangu's fame within the clan, many were extremely interested in Xuanqing. After hearing the news, they rushed towards the Martial Arts Arena.
Soon.
The area around the Martial Arts Arena was filled with clan members from all three factions of the Ancient God Clan.
….
…..
At this moment.
Martial Arts Arena.
Nine black pillars stood all around, each with radiance flowing upon them. This was a Formation to attract the Heavenly Tribulation of Law.
Once the Formation was activated, the nine pillars would function, thereby drawing the Endless Chaos's Thunder Tribulation of Law.
In the Northern Galaxy Domain, nearly all forces with a name had such a facility, used to welcome those coming up from the Lower Realm.
It's worth mentioning that.
Those cultivators coming up from the Lower Realm were especially welcomed among the various powers in the Endless Chaos.
Because such creatures usually embodied the Heaven and Earth of some world below, inheriting Great Luck from birth.
Although this Great Luck would weaken somewhat in the Endless Chaos, it still made it easier for them to cultivate to higher levels compared to ordinary Chaos Beings.
"Huff~"
"Begin transcending the Heavenly Tribulation of Law!"
Xuanqing took a deep breath and then initiated the Formation.
In an instant.
The nine pillars burst out in cascades of azure light, countless streaks of Electricity swirling within, pulling at the omnipresent Chaos Rules.
Crackle~
He carefully perceived the Rules within the Electricity, feeling that they were identical to those in the Primordial World, yet more advanced in terms of hierarchy.
"So… the Heavenly Tribulation of the Primordial World was derived from the Thunder Tribulation of Law in this Endless Chaos."
Xuanqing's eyes brightened with realization.
Presumably, when the Pangu God created the Primordial World, many of its rules were based on the Endless Chaos as a blueprint for their creation.
Hum… Humming…
An oppressive aura hovered over the Martial Arts Arena, the sky clouded into blackness as thick fog gathered.
It's coming!!
Boom!
A thunderbolt as thick as a water bucket descended from Heaven, emitting a piercing and shrill sound.
What was more terrifying,
this was not an ordinary Heavenly Tribulation but one containing 'Chaos Rules.' Various powers of Law wreaked havoc within it. One careless move could assimilate one into a senseless being of Law, completely losing oneself.
However.
As the saying goes, where there is great Crisis, there often lies great opportunity.
As long as one could withstand this Thunder Tribulation of Law, and extract the 'Chaos Rules' within, one could easily refine them, greatly cleansing both Physical Body and God Soul, making them more attuned to the powers of Law in the Endless Chaos.
…
Not long after Xuanqing initiated the Formation.
The area outside the Martial Arts Arena had become densely packed with people from the Ancient God Clan, idly chatting with one another, all discussing the 'Pan God Peak master.'
Rumble!
Accompanied by the first thunderbolt falling.
"Here it comes, it's starting!"
"Is this the Heavenly Tribulation of Law for the inheritors from the Lower Realm? What a terrifying feeling!"
"It is said that only the inheritors freshly returned to the clan land can initiate this Thunder Tribulation of Law."
"Wonder how many waves of Tribulation this inheritor can withstand, and how much Chaos Rule he can extract."
"According to the clan records, the original Pangu Peak master withstood five waves of Tribulation, and on average, refined over seventy percent of the Chaos Rules in each wave."
"Yes, I heard that during the first wave, the original Pangu Peak master achieved a one hundred percent refinement rate, setting a new record among the inheritors."
"Pangu Peak master was so formidable; I hope this Pan God Peak inheritor does not tarnish his reputation!"
…..
At one point,
the sound of the discussions grew so loud that they almost drowned out the sound of the Tribulation itself. But… whether from any one of the three factions of the Ancient God Clan, no one could deny they had loud voices.
…
At this moment.
Inside the Martial Arts Arena.
Xuanqing's eyes were tightly closed, his spirit highly concentrated, fully sensing the Chaos Rules within the Thunderbolt.
With his current strength of Physical Body, he could completely disregard these thunderbolts; his only concern was to focus on extracting and refining the Chaos Rules within.
"Inhale… Inhale… I absorb!!"
"Here's another thread of Law, come to me… to me!" Xuanqing exerted all the Power of the Soul, striving to refine all the Chaos Rules in this wave of Heavenly Tribulation.
Crackle~
Time slowly passed.
Soon.
The first wave of Tribulation was almost over, and the Chaos Rules within the Tribulation had been absorbed by Xuanqing without a trace left.
"Eh… the Chaos Rules are gone?"
…
….
Outside the Martial Arts Arena.
The previous sounds of debate had completely vanished.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 574: Chapter 397: Shocking, Surpassing Pangu!_2
Quiet!
Unparalleled silence.
Apart from the rough breathing of the Ancient God Clan, no other sound could be heard.
All the people of the Ancient God Clan widened their eyes, staring intensely at the dark clouds above the martial arts arena.
It was as though the Chaos Rules within the Heavenly Tribulation had been squeezed dry like a man spent, not a drop more could be eked out.
"Hiss!"
With the sound of a member of the Ancient God Clan sharply inhaling, the effect of a domino cascade occurred.
In an instant.
The area surrounding the martial arts arena erupted with noise, unleashing a clamor several times greater than the previous thunderbolts.
"This, this, this… a full 100% absorption rate!!"
"Terrifying, too terrifying, can this really be achieved by an Ancient Archon?"
"Among the inheritors of the last few Yuan Years, probably only the former peak master of Pan God Peak, Pangu, managed to refine the first wave of Heavenly Tribulation to completion!"
"Could it be… our Ancient God Clan is about to produce another figure like the peak master of Pan God Peak?"
…
Everyone gasped and exclaimed in astonishment.
This moment.
Not only the clan of the Dungu lineage ceased their wildness, but the Yun Gu lineage's clan was no longer confused, and the members of the Ancient Clan were inhaling sharply non-stop.
However.
Soon everyone's attention was once again captured by the scene above the martial arts arena.
Sizzle, sizzle~
With the complete end of the first wave of Heavenly Tribulation, countless dark clouds gathered again, clashing against each other and igniting countless sparks.
The second wave of Heavenly Tribulation… was about to arrive!
Everyone fixed their eyes on the figure seated cross-legged on the futon above the martial arts arena, eager to see… whether this new peak master of Pan God Peak could continue to create miracles.
That's right.
A 100% absorption rate for Chaos Rules, in the eyes of all members of the Ancient God Clan, was a miracle that should be impossible.
It can be said that ever since the Ancient God Clan proliferated, over hundreds of Yuan Years, those who could achieve full refinement during the first wave were few and far between.
In recent Yuan Years, apart from Peak Master Pangu, there hasn't been any inheritor who has been able to do it.
It is worth mentioning.
The overlord Pangu, who suppressed two eras, was also an inheritor from the Lower Realm, but due to the time being too long, it's unclear which Lower Realm he came from.
"Who knows to what extent this inheritor will be able to refine Chaos Rules in the second wave of the Thunder Tribulation of Law."
"If the second wave can also maintain a 100% rate, then…"
"What are you thinking about? Even Peak Master Pangu only achieved ninety percent refinement in the second wave of Heavenly Tribulation."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. To refine the first wave of Thunder Tribulation of Law completely was already a miracle."
"Yes, although inheritors from the Lower Realm are often blessed with luck, luck can bring about a miracle only once; it can't keep creating them consecutively."
…
In the martial arts arena.
Very soon.
Under the watchful eyes of the multitude, the second wave of Thunder Tribulation of Law descended.
Boom!
A Heavenly Tribulation even more colossal than before, carrying dense Chaos Rules, descended upon the martial arts arena.
Normally, in face of this second wave of Thunder Tribulation of Law, even the Ancient God Clan renowned for their Physical Bodies and God Souls wouldn't dare resist head-on.
Most inheritors would multitask during this Tribulation, using their Cultivation Techniques to resist, while also capturing the Laws within the thunderbolts to refine them.
And.
Those who faced the Thunder Tribulation of Law for the first time were inheritors who had just ascended from the Lower Realm. Besides having strong luck, whether in terms of Physical Body or God Soul, they couldn't compare to the native Chaos Beings.
As such, they needed to expend much more energy to resist the force of the Heavenly Tribulation, only able to allocate a small part of their spirit to gather the Chaos Rules, and naturally, their efficiency would decrease.
…
This moment.
The dark clouds in the sky had thickened to the extreme, casting an oppressive shadow over everything below.
Countless thunderbolts rained down like downpour.
In the face of such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.
Xuanqing remained unmoved, not even making the slightest resistance, still bearing the onslaught of the Heavenly Tribulation with his pure Physical Strength.
The reason.
Was because his spirit was completely immersed in the search for Chaos Rules.
"Found it!"
Xuanqing's eyebrows twitched, and then his God Soul burst forth from his Body, traveling through the dense thunderbolts, directly capturing the Chaos Rules within the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Come to me…"
Hum, hum~
His Physical Body became like a massive Taotie maw, constantly devouring the Chaos Rules within the Heavenly Tribulation, and ultimately refining them.
Boom!
Boom boom!
The thunderbolt continued, but the Chaos Rules within it were diminishing at a visible speed to the naked eye.
One tenth… two tenths… five tenths…
A devouring momentum.
It quickly reached the ninth tenth in refinement, but the thunderbolt showed no sign of stopping, which meant… there was still time to continue refining.
…
Outside the martial arts arena.
Many members of the Ancient God Clan were breathing rapidly.
"Nine tenths, he has refined nine tenths, there's a chance!"
"Could it be that today, I will witness a miracle?"
"It's almost done, just a little bit more, hurry…"
…
The spectating members of the Ancient God Clan were glued to the martial arts arena, their expressions extremely tense as if it were not someone else crossing the tribulation but themselves.
They all wanted to know whether the inheritor of Pan God Peak could create a miracle, accomplishing what even the master of Pan God Peak could not.
Finally.
The last trace of the Chaos Rules was successfully refined!
It's done!
He actually succeeded!
The area around the arena first fell into a brief silence, followed by a tsunami-like eruption of cheers.
Their excitement was as if the Bluewater Realm's former Great Yan national football team had scored a goal.
"A miracle… a miracle indeed…"
"This inheritor's physical body is too powerful, truly worthy of being an offspring of the Pan God Peak's master."
"To possess such formidable physical strength before even experiencing the refinement of the Thunder Tribulation of Law, and to directly withstand the second wave of the tribulation…"
"Terrifying, simply terrifying!"
…
As an ancient race that had proliferated in the Northern Galaxy Domain for hundreds of Yuan Years, it wasn't that no one had analyzed the technique of refining Chaos Rules within the thunder tribulation.
But even with this knowledge, it was of no use.
Because you must ensure that your physical body is strong enough, strong like Xuanqing, who directly withstood the thunder tribulation, ensuring full concentration on refining the tribulation.
Moreover.
Even if your body can withstand the second wave, you also need to have rich experience in refining to ensure that the Chaos Rules are completely refined before they dissipate.
All things considered.
This Thunder Tribulation of Law seems tailor-made for Xuanqing.
With a physical body and God Soul strong enough, and practicing the "Swallow Heaven Saint Art," he could be said to have refined his way here.
When it comes to the skill of refining… Xuanqing can confidently say… 'Refining… that is my specialty.'
…
No matter how shocked the spectating god clan members were outside the martial arts arena, it couldn't stop Xuanqing from continuing his path of crossing the tribulation.
The thunder tribulation… was still ongoing.
The area outside the martial arts arena was unusually silent, save for the sounds of breathing and the oppressive friction from the clouds in the sky.
Thus.
In this tense atmosphere.
The third wave of the heavenly tribulation… arrived!
Boom!
Rumble!
Xuanqing did not let the onlookers down; he did not put up any defenses, still choosing to withstand the tribulation from heaven with his physical body.
Soon.
Xuanqing, fully dedicated to refining the Chaos Rules, found his target.
"Come to me… Refine!"
In the Real World's Universe, Xuanqing had accumulated a vast experience in the devouring and refining of origins.
Although refining the Chaos Rules within the thunder tribulation was not the same as refining the World Origin, there were still some similarities.
The speed of refinement was swift.
Just like with the first and second waves of the tribulation.
One tenth!
Two tenths!
Three tenths… five tenths… nine tenths… without any pause, the speed of his refinement was even faster than the last time.
Boom!
With the skies filled with thunderbolt, the last bit of the Chaos Rules was also refined.
And after all that, only half of the third wave of the tribulation had passed.
…
At this moment.
In the face of such a heart-stirring scene.
The members of the Ancient God Clan surrounding the martial arts arena fell into silence.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 575: Chapter 398: The Irritable Ancestor, The Terrifying Ninth Thunder Tribulation of Law!_1
Not only the ordinary members of the Ancient God Clan who were spectating.
Not far away.
An emaciated old man with a restrained aura was also paying attention to the information from the Martial Arts Arena. This old man was none other than Ancestor Huang of the three branches of the Ancient God Clan.
When Ancestor Huang saw the second wave of the Heavenly Tribulation, and that Xuanqing had also completed it perfectly, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
And when he saw Xuanqing survive the third wave of the Heavenly Tribulation, still refining all the Chaos Rules within it, his heart pounded fiercely.
An incredibly strong thought appeared in Ancestor Huang's mind.
"This child… might still achieve a perfect refining rate of the Chaos Rules in the fourth wave of the Heavenly Tribulation," Ancestor Huang murmured to himself.
"Huang, it seems our clan has witnessed the rise of another little genius,"
Suddenly.
A rough voice resounded in Ancestor Huang's ear.
Turning his head to look.
He saw a muscular giant, like a towering iron tower, who had appeared beside Ancestor Huang without anyone realizing.
"Dun, this child is walking the same path as Pangu, how far do you think he can go?" Ancestor Huang suddenly asked.
"Um… I don't know, perhaps letting 'Yun' have a look would tell us the outcome,"
Ancestor Dun shook his head, his voice deep and sonorous.
Yun?
Upon hearing this name,
"Hehe!"
Ancestor Huang chuckled wryly but didn't continue the topic. Clearly, he believed that getting Ancestor Yun involved was nearly impossible.
Speaking of which.
The Ancient God Clan had three ancestors, but in reality… the ancestors who commonly walked among them and dealt with affairs were only two.
One was the hot-tempered Ancestor Dun, and the other was the more even-tempered Ancestor Huang.
And during their conversation…
The fourth wave of the Thunder Tribulation of Law began.
Boom!
The sky above the Martial Arts Arena had turned into a purgatory of thunder, with innumerable thunderbolts writhing like mad snakes.
In the Martial Arts Arena.
Xuanqing sat cross-legged, feeling the power of the thunder above his head, and still chose to withstand it head-on with his Physical Body.
Boom~
The dense thunderbolts, striking his skin, left countless dark spots, spreading a tingling sensation all over his body.
However.
Throughout all this,
Xuanqing seemed oblivious as he immersed himself in seeking and Refining Chaos Rules.
…
Swift as the wind!
His speed of absorbing the Chaos Rules accelerated once again.
In the fourth wave of the Thunder Tribulation of Law, with only a third passed, he had identified all the contained Chaos Rules and refined them completely.
Others were getting slower as they progressed.
But with Xuanqing, each wave of Heavenly Tribulation was quicker than the last, overturning the perceptions held by the Ancient God Clan members.
…
Just when everyone thought that this was the limit,
a miracle happened again.
The fifth wave of Heavenly Tribulation… still a perfect refining!
The sixth wave of Heavenly Tribulation… still perfect!
The seventh… the eighth… the speed of refining slightly decreased, but… within the Heavenly Tribulation, the Chaos Rules were still…
Perfectly refined!!!
At this moment.
No one spoke of whether this new master of Pan God Peak could create a miracle, because the miracle was already before them.
Even the great Pangu, who ruled an era, had not achieved a perfect refining, let alone traversed beyond the sixth wave of the Heavenly Tribulation.
How about Xuanqing?
This Thunder Tribulation of Law had been surpassed in an unprecedented eighth wave, something unheard of in the history of hundreds of Yuan Years of the Ancient God Clan.
…
In the distance.
Ancestor Dun and Ancestor Huang of the Ancient God Clan were also dumbstruck and shaken as they watched in the direction of the Martial Arts Arena.
Both had their mouths slightly open but were at a loss for words.
Originally.
They were discussing whether this child, who followed the old path of Pangu, could achieve much, but the scene before them now left them devoid of such thoughts.
Eight waves of Heavenly Tribulation, each wave's Chaos Rules were refined to perfection!
Not just within the Ancient God Clan.
Even in the entire Northern Galaxy Domain, and perhaps the entire galaxy's five domains, such an event was unique.
In such a case.
As long as this child does not fall midway, his future achievements… will certainly exceed everyone's imagination.
"The Ancient God Clan is probably about to witness the rise of a fourth ancestor!" Ancestor Huang and Ancestor Dun exchanged a look, expressing the thoughts in their minds at that moment.
…
"Let's see how this child fares in the ninth wave of the Heavenly Tribulation, whether he can…"
Ancestor Dun spoke in a low voice.
However,
Before he could finish his sentence, he sprang up from the ground as if startled, leaping into the air.
Ancestor Huang too jumped in shock.
What had happened?
An old man clad in pajamas, with a face full of beard and closed eyes, was lying at their feet.
What was utterly strange was…
The bearded old man lying at the feet of the two Ancient God Clan ancestors had no breath of life, not the kind that returned to a primitive state, but rather one completely devoid of 'life's essence,' akin to lifeless stone.
Upon seeing this,
Ancestor Dun could no longer hold back.
"Damn you, Yun, you scared the crap out of me!"
Boom~
With a punch,
Splat~
Ancestor Yun's body was sent flying like a cannonball.
However,
Before Ancestor Yun could even hit the ground, the irate Ancestor Dun had already intercepted him mid-air.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 576: Chapter 398: The Irritable Ancestor, The Terrifying 9th Thunder Tribulation of Law!_2
Immediately following that.
Crackle and pop~
A series of punches and kicks as dense as those Universe had experienced during the Heavenly Tribulation earlier cascaded down, all landing squarely on Ancestor Yun.
….
Below.
Watching Ancestor Dun beating up Ancestor Yun.
Ancestor Huang's mouth twitched slightly, as he wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead and muttered wordlessly:
"These two old fellows, after so many Yuan Years, they still enjoy making such a fuss."
So tiring~
When will the Chieftain of the Ancient God Clan return? Partnering with these two abnormal fellows makes him feel utterly exhausted.
It used to be alright when the Ancient God Clan Chieftain was around, both Ancestor Yun and Ancestor Dun could get along in harmony.
But ever since the Chieftain 'Ancient Archon' left, these two ancestors have been like unleashed Huskies, causing a ruckus every time and turning the world upside down.
What's more important.
These two, they always make trouble on Ancestor Huang's turf, even his cave mansion has been knocked down countless times by them.
Indeed.
After a single breath.
Boom~
Dust billows.
Ancestor Huang's eyelids twitched, and he looked at his once again collapsed cave mansion with tears but no place to cry.
…
Moments later.
Only to see Ancestor Dun staggering over with a scruffy old man in his hand, approaching Ancestor Huang.
"Huang, this old thing really can sleep, I've beaten him so much and he still hasn't woken up!"
Ancestor Dun shook Ancestor Yun's neck, swinging it up and down a few times, yet there was no reaction from him, still with his eyes tightly closed and his breathing long and steady.
"Sigh!"
The answer to Ancestor Dun was a long sigh.
Ancestor Huang shook his head without speaking, merely pointing towards the direction of the Martial Arts Arena not far away.
This moment.
Above the Martial Arts Arena, thick dark clouds had accumulated, with the Chaos Rules within them being extremely dense.
A sense of 'Destruction' was mixed within the Thunder Tribulation.
The ninth wave of Heavenly Tribulation… was about to begin!
Thump~
Ancestor Dun's spirits picked up, and he tossed Ancestor Yun onto the ground before concentrating his attention on observing the Martial Arts Arena.
Ancestor Huang, too, set aside the issue of his cave mansion being destroyed again. Right now, it was more important to see how much the kid could refine the Chaos Rules in the ninth wave of Heavenly Tribulation.
What the two ancestors failed to notice.
Was that 'Ancestor Yun', casually thrown onto the ground, had at some point opened his eyes.
Ancestor Yun, with sleepy eyes, blankly stared at the Martial Arts Arena.
But if one were to observe carefully, they would detect endless power hiding within those dull eyes, like a boundless whirlpool that could capture one's soul.
As the rulers of the Northern Galaxy Domain for hundreds of Yuan Years, none of the three ancestors of the Ancient God Clan were simple; each one was a fierce figure who had dominated several eras!
….
…
On this side.
Inside the Martial Arts Arena.
Xuanqing had already opened his eyes, staring intently at the sky.
He could feel an immensely violent aura of destruction emanating from the ninth wave of clouds.
However.
Crisis often comes with opportunity, and within this violent force of destruction, tremendous Chaos Rules were hidden.
Just the Rules within this wave of the Heavenly Tribulation surpassed the sum of the first to the eighth waves.
"I'm afraid… that relying purely on the physical body, I can no longer withstand this wave of the Heavenly Tribulation."
Xuanqing murmured softly.
If he couldn't bear the Heavenly Tribulation with his body, it meant that unlike before, he could not achieve a perfect refining.
"But…"
Xuanqing gritted his teeth.
Looking once more at the extremely rich Chaos Rules within the Heavenly Tribulation, he steeled his heart and thought of a crazy idea.
Take a gamble!
Continue to withstand with the body, and if he couldn't bear it, then simply resurrect on the spot.
What wasn't known was whether the Heavenly Tribulation would dissipate after death. If it did, the Chaos Rules in this wave would also vanish, and it would all be for naught.
So… he would take a gamble that if he resurrected quickly enough after death, before the Heavenly Tribulation had time to react, he would resurrect on the spot.
Moments later.
The clouds overhead were poised to strike.
"Hoo~"
Xuanqing took a deep breath, his spirit tensely wound, ready to use "Resurrecting on the Spot" the moment the Heavenly Tribulation struck him dead.
….
….
Outside the Martial Arts Arena.
The members of the Ancient God Clan were startled by Xuanqing's actions at this moment.
"Such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation likely possesses the majesty of a Chaos True Monarch. Could the Inheritor be planning to resist it with his Physical Body?"
"What does the Inheritor want to do?"
"It's over, could it be that our Ancient God Clan, having finally found an exceptional genius after so much difficulty, is going to fall to this Thunder Tribulation of Law?"
"No, someone go quickly and report to the Ancestor, let the Ancestor stop the Inheritor!!"
…
For a time.
The news about Xuanqing planning to endure the ninth wave of the Heavenly Tribulation with his Physical Body spread like cold water in hot oil, instantly causing an uproar.
The Ancient God Clan has always been incredibly united.
Or rather, most of the existing races in the Endless Chaos are very united, for those races that weren't united had long since disappeared in the river of history.
Naturally.
When the onlooking members of the Ancient God Clan saw Xuanqing's madness, they were shocked, and some felt fear.
The Ancient God Clan… had stood tall in the Northern Galaxy Domain for hundreds of Yuan Years, relying on a constant stream of geniuses.
Every member of the Ancient God Clan with extraordinary talent received the support of the majority of the clan. Only in this way could the Ancient God Clan continue to inherit its dominant position.
…
In the distance.
Atop Ancient Drought Peak.
Dun, Yun, and Huang, these three old men, were also startled by Xuanqing's actions.
Among them.
Ancestor Yun was jolted awake from his nap, his originally hazy eyes widening like lanterns.
What to do?
Ancestor Dun, known for his explosive temper, immediately spoke, "No, this lad is too reckless; we cannot let him die to this mere Thunder Tribulation of inheritance!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Ancestor Huang also nodded, feeling that the typically rash Ancestor Dun was being somewhat more prudent this time.
However, he did not speak immediately but instead turned his gaze to the side… toward Ancestor Yun, who had been beaten black and blue.
Even though Ancestor Yun was often bullied by Ancestor Dun in their daily scuffles, when it came time to make a decision, it was still Ancestor Yun who called the shots.
Just as Ancestor Dun was about to lose his patience and rush over to intervene.
"Hehe!"
Ancestor Yun let out a gentle chuckle with narrowed eyes.
It was this slight chuckle that made Ancestor Dun stop his actions, and then he glared at Ancestor Yun discontentedly, saying,
"I'm telling you, old fellow, you're always dragging your feet like this when you do things. Speak up… are we going to make a move or not?"
Ancestor Dun rolled his eyes.
While his words were fierce and brash, he obediently stopped in his tracks and awaited Ancestor Yun's word.
There's a saying, isn't there? Those who speak the harshest words often act the most timidly, and that describes Ancestor Dun perfectly.
"No rush, this child is flush with destiny, not showing signs of untimely death, and even under this Thunder Tribulation, his Chaos Immortal Destiny doesn't fluctuate in the slightest!"
Finally.
Ancestor Yun slowly opened his mouth to speak.
After hearing this, both Ancestor Huang and Ancestor Dun breathed a sigh of relief.
However!
Ancestor Dun was ticked off, itching to express his anger. With his violent temperament prompt by his bloodline cultivation techniques, he was always quick to act.
The last thing he could stand was Ancestor Yun's lazy manner. Had he not been aware of his own lack of wits, he surely would not wish to work with him.
He was anxious… but the other party was telling him not to be. Who could stand that?
Just as he was about to continue saying something, he heard Ancestor Yun's slow voice once again rise by his ear.
"Don't speak, the ninth wave of the Heavenly Tribulation… is upon us!"
No sooner had Ancestor Yun finished speaking.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning descended like an Ancient Thunder Dragon.
…
…..
Inside the Martial Arts Arena.
Xuanqing still maintained his seated, cross-legged posture.
Facing the descending Heavenly Tribulation, which roared like an Ancient Thunder Dragon, he showed not a hint of fear.
In his eyes, he was focused solely on the vast, ocean-like Chaos Rules within the Thunderbolt.
Thundering booms~
"Now is the time, give it to me… absorb!" Xuanqing shouted loudly.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 577: Chapter 399: Slaughtering your own people? I think you're an idiot!_1
Boom!
A brutal strike of the Law of Thunder hammered down on Xuanqing's physical body.
In an instant.
Skin split and flesh burst open.
The entire Martial Arts Arena was filled with the scent of scorched flesh. One could even vaguely see the white bones under the charred skin.
Faced with such injuries.
Xuanqing didn't even furrow his brow, as if unable to feel any pain at all.
"Suck in!"
Throughout the entire process, his attention was fixed on the Chaos Rules. He activated the Heaven Devouring Saintly Art and used his abundant skills in absorbing Origin to easily capture the Chaos Rules brought by this strike of the Thunder Tribulation of Law.
"I need to speed up…"
Xuanqing looked up, his gaze firm as he stared at the clouds of tribulation in the sky.
The next moment.
He did something that went against… well… common sense.
He stood up and, before the next Thunder Tribulation of Law could descend, he leapt into the thunderclouds.
Sizzle sizzle~
Suddenly.
The omnipresent Heavenly Tribulation charred his entire body to a crisp state. Perhaps the next moment, his physical body would completely collapse.
So… seize the opportunity to capture more of the Chaos Rules as quickly as possible.
One strand… two strands… ten strands… fifty strands… the rules within the Thunder Tribulation were rapidly diminishing.
….
Outside.
Seeing Xuanqing's actions, the crowd, which had already been desensitized, held their breath once again, watching the scene in utter shock.
"He must have a death wish, daring to rush into the thunderclouds. Does he really think this Endless Chaos is like the lowly Lower Realms?"
A fellow Inheritor who had also returned from the Lower Realm couldn't help but cry out in disbelief.
Before he returned to his clan, he was also a chosen one in his home world, having done things like defeating enemies above his level and using his physical body to endure lightning, experiencing changes in fortune over thirty years… and so on.
After returning to his clan in the Endless Chaos, although his luck was still better than that of ordinary members of the Ancient God Clan, he could no longer perform the feats he did in the Lower Realms.
Far away at the Ancient Main Peak!
Ancestor Yun was also wide-eyed, shouting, "This kid is insane! But in my opinion, his physical body will surely not withstand the tribulation."
"Old Yun, is this kid really alright?"
"Stay calm!"
Ancestor Yun smiled slightly, squinting his eyes at the thunderclouds, his curiosity piqued.
With their insight, they could tell at a glance that Xuanqing's physical body was on the verge of shattering, perhaps the next second it would be completely destroyed.
If they were to wait until that moment to use any defensive divine powers, it would be too late!
However.
Under the observation of his Eye of Luck, he also saw that the other's luck was like a rainbow, with no sign of decline, a reason for his curiosity.
Had his Eye of Luck not always been accurate, he might have thought that the other was doomed to be destroyed under this Heavenly Tribulation.
….
Just as the three Ancient Archon ancestors had estimated.
This moment.
Within the Thunder Tribulation of Law.
Accompanied by a 'pop' sound.
Xuanqing's physical body completely collapsed, turned to ashes under the barrage of the tribulations.
Having prepared for this moment, he silently recited 'Resurrect on the Spot' in his mind upon dying.
Swipe~
In an instant.
His previously shattered physique was restored to its peak state, and under the refinement of the tribulation, it became even more resilient.
It should be noted.
This wasn't just some imitation Heavenly Lightning released by the Heavenly Path of the Lower Realms; this was a Heavenly Tribulation that contained the Chaos Rules within the Endless Chaos.
"Indeed, it works. As long as I resurrect quickly on the spot, the tribulation will not vanish!"
Xuanqing's spirits lifted.
Without any worries, he let go completely. Unconsciously, he performed a Body Transformation World.
Buzz buzz~
The massive World Avatar enveloped the entire space above the Martial Arts Arena, and even several mountain ranges of the Ancient God Clan were within its scope.
Luckily, Xuanqing now had a substantial reputation.
The lords of these mountain ranges all knew of this Inheritor undergoing the refinement of his physical body by the Thunder Tribulation of Law, and they generously let Xuanqing do as he pleased.
"Devour!"
Following the Body Transformation World, Xuanqing showcased his powerful devouring ability, his inner Great Thousand Worlds stimulated, and all of the Chaos Rules, even including the tribulation… were completely devoured by him.
In this way.
In just a short time, he had devoured half of the Chaos Rules contained within this ninth wave of tribulation.
However… devouring quickly also meant dying quickly.
There, see!
Crack… crack… his physical body once again collapsed. This time, he made some progress, not being blasted into powder, but instead dying as pieces broke apart.
Resurrect on the Spot!!
Rolling up his sleeves to carry on, Xuanqing, who had the ability to resurrect on the spot, only had to bear the heart palpitations at death, with no other losses.
Continue to devour!
Death… Devouring… Death… Devouring!
In this cycle of repetition, the Chaos Rules within this ninth wave of the tribulation were reduced in large swathes, and no matter how numerous the Chaos Rules were, they couldn't withstand such devouring and refining.
Eventually.
All the Chaos Rules, just like the previous eight waves of the tribulation, were completely devoured and refined by Xuanqing.
"Whew~"
Xuanqing took a deep breath, cancelling his Body Transformation World state and descending from the high skies.
Having completely devoured the Chaos Rules, there was no longer a need to withstand the tribulation with his physical body, as it continued.
Buzz buzz!
His body emitted a glow, blocking all of the tribulations.
Then.
He sat cross-legged in the middle of the Martial Arts Arena, waiting for the thunder tribulation in the sky to end, while checking his condition.

"Open Character Panel!"
[Name: Xuanqing
[Faction: Ancient God Clan
[Cultivation: Chaos Immortal
[Rating: 9.99…W
[Ingot: 96.7 Trillions
[Chaos Point Balance: 8
On the Character Panel, his realm remained unchanged, still at the level of a Chaos Immortal, but the rating had undergone a tremendous change.
"From the original ten thousand, without any change in cultivation realm, it actually shot up to 9.99… ten thousand!"
Ten times!
An entire tenfold increase.
He even suspected that the 9.99 ten thousand rating wasn't merely where it stood; instead, it was likely that the limit of a Chaos Immortal's realm couldn't break through one hundred thousand.
….
…..
Just as Xuanqing was examining the changes in himself.
The Ancient Main Peak.
Three ancestors of the Ancient God Clan were deep in thought.
"This child… he's actually done it!" Dungu Ancestor's face turned red, his neck veins bulging with excitement.
Their Ancient God Clan… might be witnessing the rise of an extraordinary figure.
The Chaos Rules of the nine waves of Thunder Tribulation, perfectly absorbed in full, not to mention the Northern Galaxy Domain, even throughout the entire five domains of the galaxy, no one had ever achieved this, not even heard of.
This moment.
Compared to the extremely excited Ancestor Huang and Dungu Ancestor,
Ancestor Yun, however, furrowed his brows.
"Fellow clan members, with this child's prodigious talent, if word gets out… he might be in danger of a premature demise~"
As these words were spoken.
Dungu Ancestor's excited face immediately stiffened.
Indeed… if it were only within the Northern Galaxy Domain, unless the three major powers joined forces, they were no match for the Ancient God Clan.
But the vastness of the Endless Chaos, without bounds.
Besides the Northern Galaxy Domain, there were the Southern Galaxy Domain, Eastern Galaxy Domain, Western Galaxy Domain, and the Central Galaxy Domain.
After so many years of development, although the Ancient God Clan dominated the Northern Galaxy Domain, the enemies they had made were countless.
"What to do?" Dungu Ancestor gasped for breath, his expression becoming anxious.
Ancestor Huang glanced at his old friend and then said in a deep voice, "Old Yun, you must already have a plan, right?"
"Mhm."
Ancestor Yun nodded slightly and then gestured towards the surrounding clan members in the Martial Arts Arena, speaking slowly and deliberately:
"We just need to make sure everyone keeps their mouths shut, and give that kid a strict warning, and there should be no problems."
As these words were spoken.
"Hiss~"
Dungu Ancestor's eyes nearly burst out of their sockets as he sharply inhaled, then roared, "Damn you, Yun, these are children!!"
"I absolutely won't allow you to do this, today unless you step over my dead body… don't even think about harming any child!"
Having said that.
He immediately took a stance, knowing full well that if they were to really fight, his daily punchbag, old man Yun, wouldn't be so easy to bully.
???
Ancestor Huang was taken aback.
Ancestor Yun rolled his eyes and expressionlessly spit out two words…
"Idiot!"
As high-ranking ancestors who had lived for various Yuan Years and whose cultivation and brute strength had soared, they still had wooden heads with no improvement in IQ.
"I am Ancestor Yun, with a pair of eyes of destiny, not only for discerning fate. Why would I slaughter our people?"
Ancestor Yun snorted coldly, looking at his old friend as if he was looking at an idiot.
Ah…?
Dungu Ancestor's expression froze, and scratching his head in embarrassment, he muttered with a sheepish laugh, "As long as there's no slaughter, heh, that's good… no slaughter is good…"
"Sigh, Old Dungu, all these years, have you ever seen us sacrifice our younger generation for the sake of interests?"
Ancestor Huang scolded him without a good temper.
"Yes, yes, yes, I misunderstood just now, I thought…" Dungu Ancestor knew he was at fault and was very eager to apologize.
Speaking of which.
It wasn't just Dungu Ancestor; the entire Dungu lineage of the Ancient God Clan had such straightforward characters, willing to admit faults, and stand to attention when beaten, but quarrelsome and irritable in temper.
What's more.
Within the Ancient God Clan, there had never been a notion of sacrificing the 'individual' for the sake of 'collective interest'.
….
…
Martial Arts Arena.
After testing for a while,
Xuanqing finally had a rough understanding of his own strength.
"Compared to before, my current strength has increased by several times at least. If I were to fight to the death, exploding myself against the enemy, it would be equivalent to at least ten times the power!"
"No wonder the rating on the Character Panel shot up from the original ten thousand to over ninety-nine thousand. So it directly calculates the might of a self-explosion."
Afterward,
he opened the formation of the Martial Arts Arena and left the place.
…
Outside,
after Xuanqing emerged, he felt something strange when he looked at the surrounding scenery.
He saw the Martial Arts Arena was deserted except for one or two Ancient God Clan members hurriedly passing by and the guards at the entrance.
"Eh?"
"I remember during the Crossing Tribulation, countless clan members were watching. Why… is there no one now?"
Xuanqing was very puzzled.
Suddenly!
A voice rang by his ear.
"Yo, congratulations, hearty congratulations, congrats to the Master of Pan God Peak for passing the five Thunder Tribulations of Law—your future knows no bounds~"
This was said by an Ancient God Clan member guarding the entrance, his face beaming with a smile as he bowed his hands.
However,
the words of the guard made Xuanqing even more puzzled.
Five Thunder Tribulations of Law?
Had he not passed all nine Thunder Tribulations of Law?
"Could it be…."
An idea flickered in Xuanqing's mind, guessing at a possibility.
From the information provided by the quantifier earlier, and the incarnations of Pangu, he had learned some basic information about the inheritors.
Could it be because he was too talented that Ancestor Huang noticed him and, fearing that "the outstanding tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind," had hidden his information?
Then… the clan members he felt watching during his tribulation had only two possibilities.
One was that they were gagged, and the other was that their memories had been erased, and it was even possible that this period of time had been completely obliterated.
With this thought,
"Fortunate, how fortunate…."
Xuanqing first bowed his hands to the guard.
Afterward,
he stepped away and, after fully leaving the Martial Arts Arena, he couldn't help but glance in the direction of Ancient Main Peak.
He wasn't sure if it was an illusion,
but it seemed to him that several gazes were meeting his from Ancient Main Peak, which made him quickly avert his own gaze.
…
….
Pan God Peak.
Inside the main hall of the Taoist temple with three entrances and exits,
a young man dressed as a Taoist sat with his back against an armchair, holding a teacup, sipping lightly at intervals.
"This Endless Chaos, worthy of being a high-level world, has increased my power manifold, simply by coming here to pass a Thunder Tribulation of Law meant for cleansing the physical body!"
Xuanqing murmured in contemplation.
"Next, I shall go to the clan's Scripture Pavilion to see if the Cultivation Techniques left by Ancestor Pangu can provide any reference for me to extrapolate the follow-up techniques of 'Swallow Heaven Saint Art'."
The highest level of 'Swallow Heaven Saint Art' he practiced was the Body Transformation World—beyond that, he didn't know how to continue cultivating.
Back when he extrapolated 'Swallow Heaven Saint Art,' still within the Primordial times, the highest he had encountered was Quasi-sage, having never even seen a Chaos Immortal.
Now,
having arrived in this Endless Chaos, he had no intention of practicing the Cultivation Techniques of his predecessors. Instead, he aimed to extrapolate one on his own.
It is said… the world has no formidable Cultivation Techniques, only the most fitting ones!
Once he finished his tea,
he opened the door.
Xuanqing left Pan God Peak and headed towards the direction of the Scripture Pavilion.
…
….
Scripture Pavilion!
The Ancient God Clan had three Scripture Pavilions, each located on the main peak of the Ancient Clan, Yun Gu Clan, and Dungu Clan respectively.
The reason they weren't placed in the same location…
firstly, was because the Ancient God Clan territory was too vast, and secondly, the members of the three clans had too different cultivation methods. If the techniques were mixed, it was easy for careless clan members to run into complications in their cultivation.
"Halt, please show your token!"
"Senior Brother, I hail from Pan God Peak."
The old man at the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion examined the token in his hand and, upon hearing Xuanqing's words, became somewhat curious.
"Ah, it's Xuanqing, the Master of Pan God Peak who has just returned. Please, come in!"
