He made his way to the middle-upper reaches of Buzhou Mountain.
The surroundings were as tranquil as a still lake. Perhaps because the pressure grew greater the higher one climbed, there was no sound here at all—only the power of laws permeating the surroundings.
The immortal grasses and vines did not stir in the slightest, yet they brimmed with life. Being able to grow on the upper half of Buzhou Mountain made them quite extraordinary.
But Chi Yu remained unmoved. His sole purpose now was to seek an opportunity and a fortuitous chance for a breakthrough.
By the system's usual behavior, ever since he had begun climbing Buzhou Mountain, he should have received a system prompt. After all, that pressure could count as a form of combat.
Yet for some reason, the system had remained completely silent!
He had thought he might obtain the Law of Force and prove the Dao through force like Pangu. In the end, ideals were plump while reality was painfully thin.
All along, the system had determined whether he was fighting an enemy, after which his cultivation had naturally risen on its own. He had never been able to experience the various insights involved.
This was also a regret buried deep in Chi Yu's heart!
Although the system had helped elevate him, those insights were genuinely real. He simply could not understand how the system accomplished it.
If the system had gained intelligence, it would definitely have disdainfully snapped at him:
Just tell me whether you enjoyed it or not?
"Master, hurry up! There are so many low-grade innate spirit roots here!"
Red Sparrow called out to Chi Yu, her face full of excitement.
Helpless, Chi Yu gave her a spatial Lingbao.
"Here! Take it and gather them all!"
After receiving the spatial Lingbao, Red Sparrow happily ran off to collect the spirit roots.
What he could not understand was why there were still so many spirit roots here. Could it be that the other great experts disdained low-grade innate spirit roots? Or had their strength not yet reached the level needed to climb this high?
Wasn't it said that during the Early Primordial Era, Hongjun had extensively swept up most spirit roots and supreme treasures? That was why his Treasure Distribution Rock had been so abundantly stocked. After the Purple Firmament Three Lectures, the Three Thousand Guests had gained quite a lot!
Had that fellow become lazy?
Chi Yu shook his head, tossing the doubts from his mind.
Watching Red Sparrow in the distance scour for spirit roots as though she were picking mushrooms, he shook his head with a smile.
Then he spread out his divine sense and began to investigate.
"Hm?"
"What is that?"
In a corner, laws overflowed in every direction as waves of divine light emerged. An innate great array isolated everything, preventing Chi Yu's perception from penetrating it.
After giving Red Sparrow a few instructions, he headed toward the great array.
Upon arriving before the array, Chi Yu used the Formation Dao Laws to decipher this innate great array.
The array here was complex and ever-changing. The difficulty of breaking it was no less than that of the Primal Chaos Mitiān Grand Formation on Floating Pagoda Island.
However, even with his Formation Dao Laws at perfection and the system's assistance, it still took him a hundred years before he finally broke through it.
Ding! Detected that the host is currently battling an enemy! Enemy: Hunyuan Trapping Awareness Grand Formation No matter how strong he is, you are stronger! Congratulations to the host! Formation Dao Laws have advanced to mastery. Mastery increased by 5%!
Chi Yu now had two laws that had advanced to mastery, which was effectively an increase in his strength.
With the array broken, Chi Yu stepped inside.
Ahead of him, Void drifted and swayed as mist stretched endlessly.
With a wave of his hand, the mist scattered. What appeared before him was an enormous divine lotus pool.
Chi Yu's eyes widened, and he grinned from ear to ear.
"Damn, this is..."
"A whole pool of graded white lotuses."
After counting them, there were roughly more than a dozen.
Chi Yu was numb with shock!
"How could there be so many white lotuses here?"
One-grade, three-grade, four-grade, even nine-grade and ten-grade.
"Did I stumble into a white lotus nest?"
"As far as This Seat knows, the World Cleansing White Lotus only reaches twelve grades!"
Suddenly, he thought of something.
At the same time, his Companion Supreme Treasure, the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus, stirred within his body and flew out on its own.
"Hm? You noticed it too?"
The Creation Green Lotus floated to the center of the pool, then cast down vast swathes of Azure Light.
Immediately afterward, the white lotuses in the pool seemed to have encountered family. They began pouring into the Azure Lotus, merging with it one after another.
Chi Yu watched blankly.
Very soon, the Azure Lotus absorbed the more than ten white lotuses. White Stripes appeared across its surface, making it even more miraculous.
Just as the Azure Lotus was about to return to Chi Yu's body.
Suddenly! Turmoil erupted beneath the pool, and the white lotus pool split apart down the middle.
Next, vast amounts of white light burst forth, far more dazzling than the light from before.
Chi Yu waved his hand again, revealing an even larger white lotus before him.
"Damn! It really is you!"
"The Twelve Grade World Cleansing White Lotus!"
Yet the white lotus seemed sentient. As though displeased, it launched an attack on the Azure Lotus.
The disparity in grade caused the white lotus to be quickly suppressed.
Just as Chi Yu excitedly prepared to go over and collect it.
The Azure Lotus directly swallowed the white lotus!
"Uh..."
It had swallowed it, not merged with it.
Chi Yu immediately pointed at the Azure Lotus and began cursing!
"You useless cheat, did This Seat tell you to make a move? Huh? It was one thing for you to appear without This Seat's permission, but now you didn't even leave this Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure for This Seat!..."
He cursed for more than six hours straight. Only when he was truly exhausted from cursing did he finally stop.
Azure Lotus: Good thing this baby has no intelligence! Curse all you want!
The Creation Green Lotus, now interwoven with azure and white, returned before Chi Yu and slowly entered his body.
Chi Yu was completely speechless!
His mouth dry and parched, he instinctively reached out to touch the water in the pool, as though he had forgotten that he was a mighty Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
The moment he touched it, the system sounded again!
Ding! Detected that the host is currently battling an enemy! Enemy: Three Lights Divine Water No matter how strong he is, you are stronger! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 50% Life Law. (Currently at perfection) 50% Void Law 50% Reincarnation Law. (Currently 70%) 50% Life-and-Death Law Congratulations to the host! Physical cultivation has advanced to the peak of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
Chi Yu froze!
It took him quite a while to recover, and he was so excited that words could not describe it!
"My heavens, an entire pool of Three Lights Divine Water!"
Once the golden Sunlight Divine Water, silver Moonlight Divine Water, and purple Starlight Divine Water merged into one, they became the foremost sacred healing medicine. They could dispel all poisons, counter all supposedly incurable toxins, heal every wound and illness, and even restore flesh to bare bones and revive the dead.
One had to know that this was the Primordial World's number one sacred medicine! And there was an entire pool of it.
Chi Yu wanted to immediately store even the entire pool inside his Void Bracelet.
But he did not do so. Instead, he took out a treasure bottle he had acquired some time ago and tossed it over the pool.
The Three Lights Divine Water visibly began to decrease as it was drawn into the treasure bottle.
This treasure bottle was a mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Its internal space was many times larger than the Void Bracelet, like an entire world. It was more than enough to hold this pool of Three Lights Divine Water!
Until the next day.
Chi Yu, who had been meditating beside the pool, opened his eyes.
All the Three Lights Divine Water had entered the treasure bottle. Chi Yu took the bottle and burst into laughter.
Then he rose to his feet, glanced at the pool, nodded, and vanished from the secret realm in a flash.
When the fortuitous chance fell, the divine light vanished!
After he left the secret realm, this great array and the white lotus pool disappeared without a trace, as though they had never existed here.
"Master!"
Red Sparrow ran over with a flattering smile.
"Master, guess how many spirit roots I gathered?"
Chi Yu shook his head with a smile, and Red Sparrow pouted.
"Come on, Master, take a guess!"
"A hundred at least, a thousand at most!"
"Uh! How did you know?"
"Just look at how excited you are. It is quite adorable!"
"Hahaha!"
Red Sparrow became even more admiring and infatuated with Chi Yu.
"What are you standing there for? Let's go! We should reach the summit as soon as possible!"
Red Sparrow came back to her senses and stuck out her tongue.
"Got it!"
Fu Xi and Nüwa's cave abode.
The brother and sister were still eagerly comprehending the Saint Method. This Saint Method was exceedingly marvelous!
If not for their extraordinary foundations and peerless aptitude, even getting started would have been as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Nüwa entered the gate before Fu Xi.
After getting started with the Saint Method, she instantly sensed her own transformation.
It was not merely in terms of laws. After comprehending the initial entry point, even her foundation had improved slightly.
This delighted Nüwa immensely.
This Saint Method had been jointly created over many years by Chi Yu, who controlled the Creation Law, and Qing Wei, who controlled the Merit Law.
Chi Yu had included many of his insights into laws without holding anything back. It could be said to point directly toward the peak of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
As for insights into mastery, he had not included them. That could wait until later!
The main reason was that his own Primordial Spirit cultivation had not advanced to Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal, the Heavenly Dao Realm.
"I wonder how much Elder Brother has comprehended?"
Nüwa murmured with a smile as she sensed Fu Xi, whose eyes remained tightly closed.
Then she sensed her own Master.
"Hm? Master went out?"
After thinking it over, she closed her eyes and continued comprehending the Saint Method!
At the same time, Hongjun, Yang Mei, and the others were building up their strength, preparing to join hands against Luo Hou.
This great undertaking of subduing demons could not tolerate the slightest carelessness.
After continual probing in the early stages, they had roughly learned Luo Hou's strength.
Only the Immortal Slaying Sword Array was difficult to deal with. Four great experts would have to each choose one position and fight separately before there would be any chance of breaking it.
It was worth mentioning that even now, Yang Mei and the others did not know that Hongjun, that scheming villain, had secretly created the Three Corpses Severing Method. He had already successfully severed the Three Corpses, waiting to stab them in the back.
According to Hongjun, the Primordial World did not need so many great experts. One great expert—him—was enough. The Primordial World should revere Hongjun above all.
"What do you Fellow Daoists think?"
Hongjun explained the Immortal Slaying Sword Array and prepared to join forces with Yang Mei, Qiankun, Yin-Yang, and the others to resist it.
The straightforward Qiankun and Yin-Yang quickly agreed. By now, they trusted Hongjun completely.
Yang Mei did not respond. He hesitated, for he vaguely sensed that something was amiss!
Seeing Hongjun and the others all looking at him, he thought for a moment and decided to keep something in reserve, just in case!
But on the surface, he still nodded.
Seeing that the others had agreed, Hongjun was reassured!
"Hahaha! Excellent!"
"Since it has been settled, we shall wait for the right moment!"
"We shall await the right moment!"
Western Demon Hall.
Luo Hou let out a breath.
Luo Hou's comprehension of the Immortal Slaying Sword Array was nearing perfection, yet that final shackle was like his cultivation—no matter what, he could not cross it.
"This Immortal Slaying Sword Array is truly marvelous, yet I cannot comprehend that final step!"
"If I could comprehend it to perfection, what would mere Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals amount to?"
Chi Yu's terrifying strength remained vivid in Luo Hou's mind, becoming an inner demon he could neither overcome nor dispel.
Whenever he thought of the battle on Floating Pagoda Island, he gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Damn it! Why can't I achieve perfection? Chi Yu, This Seat will definitely defeat you..."
Troubled by Chi Yu's inner demon, Luo Hou had devoted all his attention to Chi Yu and failed to sense that his nemesis, Hongjun, had joined forces with Yang Mei and the others to break his Immortal Slaying Sword Array.
Instead, Chi Yu had indirectly drawn away the hatred.
The middle section of Buzhou Mountain.
Chi Yu and Red Sparrow scavenged all the way!
They had nearly stripped the place bare. Now that Chi Yu's fortune was unparalleled, opportunities always came knocking without invitation.
An Upper Grade Innate Spiritual Root, an Upper Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and he had even obtained a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—the Profound Yellow Sword.
"What is this Profound Yellow Sword? Was there such a sword in the Primordial World?"
Weighing the Profound Yellow Sword in his hand, Chi Yu shook his head with a smile.
"Whatever! It's a free Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Why wouldn't I take it?"
Chi Yu had been beaming with smiles these past few days.
"Master, we're almost at the top, right?"
Chi Yu looked ahead, nodded, then shook his head again.
"Alas! We've finally reached the summit, yet there's still not the slightest clue about the Law of Force."
"In those Primordial World novels I read in my previous life, there would always be Pangu Blood Essence, Pangu Jade Marrow, Pangu Heart, Creation Jade Plate Fragments... Why do I find it so hard to believe now?"
After thinking for a moment, he turned to Red Sparrow.
"Let's go! The next level!"
