Issuing Tasks
"This team is getting bigger and bigger; you'd think they were on a pilgrimage to the West."
Looking at the group behind him, Xiang Dong couldn't help but sigh. When he first set off, he was all alone, but now he had five Great Unity Golden Immortals as his followers.
However, saying they went to the West to obtain scriptures is not appropriate. After all, the two Western saints, the future founders of Buddhism, are right here. Why would they need to go through all that trouble to obtain them?
Xiang Dong spoke without thinking, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti; the journey to the West had deeply moved them.
"Senior brother, I sense fortuitous opportunity, an immense fortuitous opportunity."
Zhun Ti seemed to see a tremendous fortuitous opportunity closely related to them beckoning to him. In that instant, he even saw a celestial Great Dao Tongtian Buddhist light.
Jie Yin also sensed something; he saw that Great Dao to Tongtian, and in that instant, he seemed to understand what his future Dao Path would be.
"Junior brother, I felt it too."
Before the two of them could even step onto the ground, Xiang Dong slapped them awake.
"You've misjudged the fortuitous opportunity. The fortuitous opportunity is right here. Come on, let's keep going."
Xiang Dong quickly brought the two Western Saints back to reality. The Dao Ancestor hadn't even founded his religion yet. If they were to go ahead of him, wouldn't the plot get completely messed up? Didn't the Dao Ancestor have any dignity?
"No, we all definitely sensed fortuitous opportunity!"
Zhun Ti wanted to say something more, but at this moment the Devil Ancestor and the Dao Ancestor had already started a full-scale war, and the Tribulation Qi of the Kalpa Calamity was sweeping across the entire Primordial World, centered on the west.
Zhun Ti and Jie Yin also sensed it; they gazed westward, their hearts filled with worry.
"The Kalpa began in the West. I wonder what the West will be like after this great Kalpa?"
After saying Jie Yin, he put his hands together, bowed his head, and remained silent.
"In the West, who is the Devil Ancestor fighting with?"
At this time, Zhun Ti and Jie Yin knew little about the Dao-Demon Conflict. Before they took on the important task of revitalizing the West, they were just two small fry, insignificant beings.
The last Kalpa mainly occurred in the Southern Continent, where the three races shattered the Earth Veins, causing widespread suffering and death.
Fortunately, the three races did not fight to the very end; otherwise, it would have been an easy task for the Southern Continent to recover its strength, since this land was not particularly famous to begin with.
This time it's the West. In the original ending, Luohou would detonate the entire western Earth Veins, turning the West into a desolate wasteland with scarce Spiritual Qi.
But now, things have taken a slight turn for the better.
Xiang Dong gazed westward. He knew that the conflict between the Demon Dao would deal a devastating blow to the west, and he did not want to see that happen, as it would bring no benefit to the Primordial World.
He glanced at the two future Western Saints beside him. Through their interactions over this period, he felt that their nature was not beyond redemption, at least not yet.
But if the West becomes a dead end, and they completely abandon their pride, dignity, bottom line, and principles in order to revitalize the West, then it will be a different story.
Therefore, he had to find a way to keep the damage caused by the conflict between the Demon Dao and righteous factions to the West within a controllable range.
Thinking this, Xiang Dong took out his phone, switched it to tablet mode, and then started screen mirroring, freeing his hands to quickly tap on the screen.
Xuehuang, Ao Yue, and Junshan Qilin watched from the side. Although they didn't know what Xiang Dong was doing, they seemed to see the name of their ancestor.
Using his authority, Xiang Dong issued tasks to the Primordial Qilin and the Primordial Phoenix. The Primordial Qilin was tasked with guarding the Earth Veins and mobilizing the Qilin Clan to maintain the western Earth Veins, while the Primordial Phoenix was tasked with regulating Yin-Yang and yang to maintain the Yin-Yang balance in the west as much as possible and prevent things from spiraling out of control.
Within the Immortal Volcano, Primordial Phoenix sensed it, Xiang Dong, through the mission issued by the Heavenly Dao, also sensed it. The Primordial Qilin, which was suppressing the Earth Veins, also sensed it.
The task issued by Xiang Dong is not mandatory, but it is still issued through the Heavenly Dao. Once you accept and complete the task, you will receive Merit.
For the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, Merit is a much-needed form of currency. Without eliminating the karmic obstacles on their heads, the strength of the three clans cannot be improved, and they will gradually decline over time.
Primordial Phoenix obeys!
"The Primordial Qilin obeys!"
After much deliberation, Xiang Dong decided to send a message to Yangmei, asking her to intervene and control the situation to prevent further damage.
The message has been sent, but Xiang Dong cannot guarantee whether Yangmei will actually do it.
The other party has already attained the Hunyuan and is a Celestial Venerable-level existence; he has no way to restrain them.
The West was too far away, and his own strength was not at that level, so he could not intervene in this Kalpa struggle. Therefore, after finishing all this, Xiang Dong composed himself and continued on his journey.
One person led three mounts, with Jie Yin and Zhun Ti closely behind. If they were somewhat reluctant before, after Xiang Dong mentioned the pilgrimage, they felt their Dao Path enlightenment had become clearer, so they willingly and happily followed him.
They even became somewhat solicitous, hoping to gain more benefits from Xiang Dong.
As the battle between the Western Demon Dao intensified, the blood pool Pangu Hall was churning like boiling water.
The Heaven-Opening Sha Qi within the blood pool had already been largely purified, with the remainder pushed to the edge. The water in the blood pool was crystal clear, like a beautiful treasure.
In the very center of this blood pool, the flesh cocoon that was nurturing the thirteenth Ancestral Witches, the Taichu, was growing rapidly, its size increasing exponentially before the naked eye could see.
After expanding to its limit, it begins to expand and contract rhythmically.
Each beat is like the heartbeat of Pangu, heavy and powerful.
The fleshy walls of the cocoon were thinning, and a figure could be vaguely seen inside through them.
Di Jiang, Zhu Jiuyin, Houtu, and the other Twelve Ancestral Witches sensed the changes in the Taichu. They temporarily interrupted their recuperation and gathered before the Blood Pool, looking at the flesh cocoon with anticipation and relief in their eyes.
"It seems my little brother will be born soon."
Houtu smiled serenely, quite happy at the thought of having a younger brother.
"It probably won't take many more years."
Zhu Jiuyin sensed it.
"Yes, my little brother has grown quite well too, he's gotten taller and stronger, hahaha." Di Jiang said with a look of satisfaction, "This is all thanks to me."
Zhu Jiuyin glanced at him. "We've all given our heart's blood, what do you have to boast about?"
Di Jiang: "But I'm the first, the first!"
Well, after all, he was the first to give his heart's blood, but if none of the Twelve Ancestral Witches had given their heart's blood and their own primordial Power of Principle, it would have been very difficult for the Taichu Beginning to be conceived and born, let alone grow to its current state.
Zhurong and Gonggong thought that once their younger brother was born, they could leave the Pangu Hall and go out to see what the Primordial World created by their Father God was like.
Oh, right, they also need blood food. What should they eat?
