Six Paths of Reincarnation, Netherworld Underworld

In the Northern Darkness, Kunpeng sensed the improvement in his Dao Realm, his eyes brimming with excitement, shock, and agitation. "With the heavens and earth expanding like this, it must have evolved!"

The Primordial World might soon regain the glory of the ancient era of Wu and Yao.

"Which reclusive expert could have driven the evolution of the Primordial Wilderness? I must find an opportunity to pay them a visit."

Within the Blood Sea, waves surged violently, and the ringing of swords thundered through the air, reflecting Styx's unsettled heart.

"The Primordial Wilderness is truly evolving!" he thought excitedly. "Who could have brought about such a blessing?"

For Styx, this was a rare opportunity. Without hesitation, he entered seclusion to cultivate.

Above West Kunlun, the graceful Queen Mother of the West sensed the advancement of her Great Dao, her heart filled with delight.

More than that, she noticed that the fortune of West Kunlun was also strengthening.

"The Primordial Wilderness is finally about to welcome another glorious era!" she sighed.

As the Source of Primordial Yin Qi, Queen Mother of the West had personally experienced the most prosperous era of the Primordial Wilderness.

She had originally believed that the Primordial Wilderness would decline for a long time, and had even planned to leave West Kunlun for Chaos.

Yet now, she had witnessed such a world-shaking feat!

"I wonder which great expert could accomplish all this."

Suddenly, a trace of doubt flashed through her eyes. "Could it be that Saint?"

Remembering how Taiqing Saint had once preached the Dao to all beneath heaven, something unprecedented in the history of the Primordial Wilderness, she considered the possibility.

Perhaps Taiqing Saint was the one driving the evolution of the Primordial Wilderness?

Yet in the end, she dismissed the thought.

Inside Fire Cloud Cave.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were all shaken.

Fuxi deduced the heavenly secrets, yet found no clues whatsoever.

He could not help murmuring, "Who could achieve such a grand undertaking?"

Shennong guessed, "Could it be the Dao Ancestor?"

Fuxi let out a cold laugh upon hearing that.

"The Dao Ancestor? Would he possess such broad-mindedness?"

The Dao Ancestor had been unfair to both the Human Race and Nüwa.

The other Human Emperors might not have known.

But as Nüwa's Elder Brother and one skilled in deducing heavenly secrets, Fuxi had vaguely sensed some clues.

Xuanyuan smiled. "Why bother pursuing the reason?"

"This is an unprecedented upheaval, a great opportunity for the Human Race!"

Human Race territory.

Great Qin Empire.

Ying Zheng held the Imperial Sword and gazed into the distance.

The heavens and earth had undergone a drastic transformation unlike anything seen before.

Ying Zheng pointed his sword toward the West and issued an order to the civil and military officials of the Great Qin Empire behind him.

"Meng Tian, Xiang Yu, Han Xin, Zhang Liang, where are you?"

"Lead five hundred thousand troops westward and unite the land."

"Wherever my sword points shall become the territory of the future Immortal Qin."

"I shall present this eternal, unified, immortal Immortal Qin as a gift when I meet my master!"

"Yes!"

The civil and military officials answered in unison.

Where the blade pointed, it reached straight to the borders of Immortal Qin! The Great Qin Iron Cavalry was bound to trample across the entire Primordial Land... At Western Sacred Mountain, Tathagata, Burning Lamp, Maitreya, and the other Buddhas were all stunned.

Who could possibly drive the evolution of the Primordial Wilderness? What kind of being was that? "Could it be the Dao Ancestor?" "Very likely." "Haha, the Heavenly Dao favors the West. The Dao Ancestor must favor us as well." The Buddhas of Spirit Mountain all felt pleased with themselves, but Duobao alone did not believe it. "The Dao Ancestor may not possess such ability. Why had the Primordial Wilderness never evolved after countless kalpas?" But if it was not the Dao Ancestor, who could it be? "Could it be Senior Grand Uncle?" Duobao's heart trembled. Senior Grand Uncle Taiqing's vision and bearing might indeed be connected to this matter, but he found it difficult to believe. Even if his grand uncle was a Heavenly Dao Sage, could he truly accomplish this?

At the peak of Spirit Mountain, light flickered in Kong Xuan's eyes beneath his concealed face. He did not care who had driven the evolution of the Primordial Wilderness, but he rejoiced at the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

His cultivation of the Primordial Dao-Forging Method had accelerated. He would eventually break through the shackles of the Buddhist Sect and return to the Primordial Wilderness to wash away his humiliation!

Within the Hall of Celestial Supremacy, Haotian was deeply shocked by the unprecedented change in the Primordial Wilderness.

Yet soon, wild joy appeared on his face.

"The Primordial Wilderness is evolving. This means the power controlled by the Heavenly Court will become even stronger." Haotian firmly believed that the force behind the evolution of the Primordial Wilderness had to be either the Dao Ancestor or the Heavenly Dao. No one else could possibly accomplish it.

At the same time, Haotian became even more determined in his conviction—he had to seize control of the Human Race as soon as possible!

He feared that the rise of the Human Race would weaken the fortune and authority of the Heavenly Court.

Haotian sat upon his imperial throne, his icy gaze looking down at the Great Qin Iron Cavalry sweeping across the land like a tide below.

"All authority in the Primordial Wilderness belongs to the Heavenly Court. How can these lowly humans be allowed to lay their hands on it?" Haotian snorted coldly. "The day my cultivation reaches perfection will be the day Tyrannical Qin is destroyed!"

Within Wa Huang Palace in Grand Simplicity Heaven, Daoist Lu Ya, who had been cultivating, was suddenly startled awake.

Looking at the violent changes taking place in the Primordial Wilderness, he was both shocked and puzzled. He decided to seek guidance from Saint Nüwa at Wa Huang Palace. "Lady, do you know why the Primordial Wilderness has undergone such a tremendous change?"

As Lu Ya looked upon the vibrant Primordial Wilderness, a trace of excitement rose in his heart.

This was because the original lifeforms of the Primordial Wilderness could be regarded as the Yao Clan if they had no innate affiliation.

This symbolized the Yao Clan's former authority over the skies of the Primordial Wilderness.

As the Golden Crow Crown Prince, Lu Ya no longer had ambitions of contention, but deep in his heart, he still held profound feelings for the Yao Clan.

After calming his excitement, Lu Ya respectfully asked, "May I ask, Lady, which great being brought this about?"

Lu Ya said without hesitation, "Lu Ya will surely offer my thanks!"

However, Lu Ya was not truly asking Nüwa. It was merely an expression of emotion.

He knew that he would certainly have no chance to meet such a supreme great being.

At this moment, Nüwa gazed thoughtfully at the Primordial Land, then turned to Lu Ya with a faint smile.

"I do not know about this matter either, but if your fate runs deep enough, perhaps you will have a chance to meet them."

"You should focus on cultivation first."

Hearing this, Lu Ya was stunned for a moment before excitement surged within him.

Did Saint Nüwa's words not mean that she already knew?

Lu Ya did not dare ask further and could only suppress the excitement in his heart.

"Thank you for your guidance, Lady. Lu Ya shall take his leave."

After Lu Ya left, Nüwa rested her chin on her hand in thought, wisdom glimmering in her eyes.

She repeatedly deduced the matter, yet never found an answer.

In the end, she looked toward Taiqing Daluo Heaven and murmured softly.

"Who in this Primordial Wilderness possesses such an ability to turn decay into magic?"

"Could it be Senior Taiqing?"

Though Nüwa had her suspicions, she could not conceal the doubts in her heart.

Could even a Heavenly Dao Sage truly accomplish such a world-defying feat?

Perhaps not even the Heavenly Dao could do it!

Jade Clarity Realm, Clear Micro Heaven.

Within Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain.

Yuanshi, who had been comprehending the Primal Chaos Nine Revolutions Celestial Art, was also alarmed by the unprecedented transformation of the Primordial Wilderness.

Naturally, he was incomparably shocked as well.

The Primordial Wilderness could actually evolve again?!

How was that possible?!

Could Elder Brother truly accomplish something that even the Heavenly Dao might not be able to do?

Such a thought suddenly flashed through Yuanshi's mind.

"Perhaps Elder Brother can accomplish what the Heavenly Dao cannot?"

"Of course he can!"

Thinking of this, Yuanshi could not help feeling somewhat excited.

Perhaps it truly was Elder Brother's doing!

After all, Elder Brother possessed the legacy of Pangu's Disciple.

But in truth, Yuanshi was merely guessing and had no concrete evidence.

He had not even performed any deductions.

He simply thought Elder Brother was formidable!

Longevity Mountain.

Five Villages Monastery.

As the only Saint remaining in the Primordial Wilderness, Zhen Yuanzi was performing deductions.

Yet he found nothing.

However, sensing the faint joy of the Earth Book and the growth of his own Great Dao, Zhen Yuanzi could not help sighing.

"The Primordial Wilderness can actually evolve. This has never happened in history."

"I wonder which great expert created such a heaven-defying feat!"

The Primordial World had progressed tremendously, regaining the splendor of ancient times.

The current Earthly Immortal Realm was merely a small part of the Primordial Wilderness.

From this perspective, Zhen Yuanzi's authority had indeed weakened.

But from another perspective!

If the Primordial Wilderness continued evolving, how powerful would the Earthly Immortal Realm become in the future?

Zhen Yuanzi felt both excited and emotional at the thought.

Suddenly, he looked toward Taiqing Daluo Heaven, and a thought arose in his mind.

Could the immense transformation of the Primordial World be connected to Taiqing Saint?

Zhen Yuanzi swiftly shook his head and denied it.

Such an unprecedented change was beyond the power of a Heavenly Dao Sage.

Six Paths of Reincarnation, Netherworld Underworld.

Houtu's face was filled with shock.

She had only just broken through to the Dao Realm, and the Underworld had improved somewhat, when the Primordial World suddenly underwent a complete upgrade.

For a moment, Houtu suspected that she had triggered this drastic change.

But she quickly came to her senses and murmured.

"No, it was not me. It was Taiqing."

"The cause of all this must be Fellow Daoist Taiqing."

Though Houtu had no conclusive evidence, she believed it without the slightest doubt.

Taiqing had once displayed the Earth Dao Divine Seal, which surpassed the Heavenly Dao!

Even the Heavenly Dao could not accomplish such a thing. Only Taiqing might be capable of it.

Houtu sighed with countless emotions.

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Taiqing's true plan is. Dealing with Hongjun may only be the tip of the iceberg."

"When that time comes, what other surprises will he bring us?"

Houtu could not help whispering softly, her admiration for Taiqing growing ever deeper.

West, Western Paradise.

Receiver and Cundi were likewise unable to understand why the world had evolved.

It was an event unseen through the ages, one that even Saints found difficult to comprehend.

But they did not care about the source of the change.

As long as it benefited the West, that was enough.

The Two Sages of the West looked down upon the Primordial Land and were astonished to discover that the Human Race army was sweeping across the entire world.

The Human Race army was unstoppable, invincible wherever it went.

Cundi frowned tightly. "The Human Race's momentum is far too astonishing."

But Receiver smiled. "The Human Race's fortune is flourishing. This is precisely an opportunity for the Buddhist Sect to develop."

Cundi smiled as well. "That is right. The tribulation lies with the Buddhist Sect, and destiny lies with the Buddhist Sect. The Buddhist Sect is bound to flourish."

"Senior Brother, should we begin preparing for Buddhist Dharma Eastward Transmission?"

Receiver nodded with a smile. "The time is right.

"The Human Race's fortune is at its peak. It is the perfect time for Golden Cicada to reincarnate."

"Once Sun Wukong has achieved success in cultivation, Buddhist Dharma Eastward Transmission can officially begin."

"By then, no one in the West will be able to contend with us."

The two Saints eagerly plotted the grand undertaking of Buddhist Dharma Eastward Transmission.

If Taiqing learned of this, he would surely sneer.

Using the fortune of the Primordial Wilderness to strengthen the Buddhist Sect?

Did you ask me?

Beyond Chaos, within Purple Cloud Palace.

In a short span of time, Hongjun had already deduced 1.296 billion times.

Yet he had still gained nothing and could not find the reason.

The Heavenly Dao showed no reaction at all to the changes in the Primordial Wilderness.

The reason was actually simple.

The evolution of the Primordial Wilderness was a good thing for the Heavenly Dao.

What reason did it have to react badly?

Was it supposed to bestow merit upon the person behind it all?

The problem was that the Heavenly Dao wanted to bestow merit.

Yet it could not find any trace of the person behind the scenes!

Could merit still be bestowed under these circumstances? This was actually an inevitable outcome.

Beneath the concealment of the Chaos Pearl, even the Heavenly Dao could not detect Taiqing's existence.

If the Heavenly Dao had been able to detect Taiqing, Hongjun, who wielded the Heavenly Dao Authority, would not have failed to deduce anything at all.

At last, Hongjun withdrew his gaze, his eyes dark and heavy.

Even his expression had changed in a rare display.

The upgrade of the Primordial Wilderness was not frightening. What was truly frightening was that Hongjun had no control whatsoever over it.

This meant that an extremely terrifying Mysterious Existence stood behind it, and Hongjun knew nothing about it!

Even the Heavenly Dao could not detect this existence!

"Just who was this person?"

"Could he have been behind what happened between Sun Wukong and the Underworld before?"

Hongjun's brows furrowed even tighter.
