At this moment!
Tongtian's body surged with supreme sword intent,
yet because the Heavenly Dao Power had suddenly intensified,
he was gravely wounded in an instant,
spitting out a mouthful of Origin Essence Blood.
Tongtian dropped to one knee,
using the Azure Purity Sword to support himself,
barely managing to remain upright.
A chilling aura descended upon him.
Tongtian struggled to raise his head,
only to see a pair of utterly emotionless eyes staring at him.
Hongjun!
Blood stained the corner of Tongtian's mouth,
yet it curled upward slightly,
revealing a mocking smile.
"Hongjun, there are things even you cannot control."
"I will definitely shatter this Purple Sky!"
"And leave this place!"
Hongjun's expression turned even colder.
"You arrogant fool!"
He was about to strike Tongtian down and scatter his soul.
However, at that very moment,
BOOM!!!
A violent tremor erupted through the void of the Primordial Wilderness,
as shocking as though the world were restarting.
The thunderous roar continued without end,
while the Heaven and Earth Membrane of the Primordial Wilderness rapidly expanded,
madly devouring boundless Chaos.
The entire world underwent astonishing, earth-shaking changes.
The Thirty-Third Heaven suddenly rose!
New heavenly palaces actually materialized!
The foundations of the thirty-three layers of earth also thickened and solidified!
New earthly wheels were likewise born!
The Four Seas churned violently!
They expanded to the utmost limit!
The broken Heavenly Pillar, Buzhou Mountain, rumbled thunderously!
It was actually growing taller as well!
Hongjun and Master Tongtian were both drawn to it at once!
They stared at the Primordial Wilderness in disbelief!
Hongjun's pupils constricted sharply!
His expression changed drastically!
This Primordial Wilderness!
Had transformed once more!
Even more drastically than before!
Taiqing Realm!
Daluo Heaven!
Immortal qi swirled through the air!
The Sanskrit sounds of the Great Dao drifted ethereally!
A supreme sacred aura filled the holy domain!
Within the void, boundless Great Dao Laws flickered between birth and extinction, manifesting countless phenomena and encompassing the truths of all heavens!
Phenomena appeared one after another, persisting for a long time!
Countless spiritual beings throughout Daluo Heaven benefited from it!
The Chaos Spiritual Root on Breathing Earth Divine Island released endless profound mysteries in particular!
Its ripples condensed into clouds and mist!
And within Daluo Heaven!
At the location of Eight Sceneries Palace!
Above it stretched an endless river of stars, cascading like a waterfall!
Boundless Primordial Mother Qi coiled around it, majestic and immense!
High above Eight Sceneries Palace, the phantom of a supreme Daoist sat between heaven and earth, reflecting all heavens.
Boundless starlight encircled him as the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws intertwined and flowed.
The phantom wore a Taiqing Ruyi Crown and a Mystic Yellow Taiji Robe. Seventy-Two Colored Lights blossomed above his head, while Great Dao Golden Lotuses bloomed around him.
His left hand formed a light pinch, while his right hand was gently raised. His features were hazy and impossible to behold directly, as though he bore the supreme Great Dao.
This was Taiqing Laozi's phantom. Endless Origin Essence aura radiated from him, as though he were the origin of the Dao of all things.
If any Saint had been present, they would surely have been utterly shocked.
A moment later, Taiqing slowly opened his eyes. Worlds were born and perished within his gaze, and the mysteries of the Great Dao emerged.
With a thought, he returned to simplicity, and every phenomenon vanished.
At that moment, the system's voice sounded:
Ding! Congratulations! The Primordial Wilderness world has advanced in rank! Current world rank: Beginner Taiji World!
A smile appeared at the corner of Taiqing's mouth.
The Primordial Wilderness had advanced into a Beginner Taiji World, greatly increasing its Origin Force. As the one bound to the Primordial Origin, he too had benefited immensely.
His Origin Force had reached an unprecedented height, surpassing that of a Primordial Saint.
Even so, although Taiqing's Dao Realm had reached the peak of Primordial Chaos, it had not yet achieved perfection.
Though Taiqing had yet to break through into the Primal Unity Limitless realm, he was already close.
He did not rush to cultivate, instead quietly awaiting the complete evolution of the Primordial Wilderness.
The system rewards would soon be distributed. When that time came, attaining Primal Unity Limitless would be effortless for him.
At this moment, Taiqing was deeply interested in the changes within the Primordial Wilderness.
Its evolution continued. Accompanied by deafening Dao sounds, tides of spiritual qi poured down like a reversed river of stars, blanketing the entire land.
Heavenly phenomena appeared: celestial flowers drifted down, Golden Lotuses surged from the earth, auspicious clouds filled the skies, and Purple Qi came from the East.
Countless Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, Innate Spiritual Roots, and Innate Spiritual Treasures emerged one after another. Trillions of beings were born, took form, became immortals, broke through realms, and attained the Dao.
The number of Primordial World Beings doubled. The world displayed a prosperity never seen before, and countless beings benefited from the spiritual qi tides.
The Primordial Wilderness once again underwent tremendous changes, while the laws of heaven and earth continued to evolve.
After Taiqing spread the Dao, the number of immortals in the Primordial Wilderness had soared. Now that it had advanced into a Beginner Taiji World, its Origin Force had increased enormously, and the number of Golden Immortals of Grand Da Luo rose accordingly.
This flourishing scene far surpassed the glory of the Ancient Wu and Yao era.
Even more exhilaratingly, vast quantities of ownerless Law Fragments scattered across the Primordial Wilderness, giving birth to countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, bringing unprecedented opportunities to all beings.
One had to know that after entering the Da Luo realm, comprehending Dao Laws was exceptionally difficult.
Yet now, such a tremendous opportunity lay before them.
In the Northern Abyss, Kunpeng fused with several Law Fragments. His comprehension soared, and his Great Dao cultivation rose to another level. He could not help but rejoice wildly. "These Law Fragments all belong to me. One day, I too shall attain the Dao."
Within the Blood Sea, light flickered in Styx's eyes, as though raging waves were churning in his heart.
The appearance of the Three Thousand Law Fragments shocked everyone.
"What kind of supreme fortune is this?"
Styx immediately began acting, doing everything in his power to gather those fragments.
At this moment, it concerned the breakthrough of his own Great Dao. Perhaps he could use this chance to attain the Dao and become a Saint.
Spirit Mountain Buddhist Sect.
The many gods and Buddhas were thrilled, joining the search for Law Fragments one after another.
This was undoubtedly a heaven-sent opportunity.
As the leader of Mahayana Buddhism, Duobao understood the importance of this opportunity well.
According to Taiqing's teachings, the more prosperous Buddhism became, the greater the benefits it would receive in the future.
Therefore, Duobao decisively gave the order, dispatching everyone to collect Law Fragments.
Boundless East Sea.
Although the Dragon Race bore karmic sins, they would never let such an opportunity pass them by.
The East Sea Dragon King, Ao Guang, dispatched large numbers of his clansmen to search for Law Fragments.
Countless experts and factions throughout the Primordial Wilderness launched fierce struggles, and innumerable conflicts followed.
However, amid this chaos, the Primordial World Beings discovered an astonishing fact—the space of heaven and earth in the Primordial Wilderness had become more stable.
Five Villages Monastery.
Zhen Yuanzi was utterly shaken.
"Whose handiwork could possibly create such a world-shaking spectacle?"
Law Fragments were meaningless to Saints.
Holding the Earth Book, Zhen Yuanzi paid greater attention to the changes occurring within the heaven and earth of the Primordial Wilderness itself!
The Primordial Wilderness was now broader and its heavens higher, while the strength of the world had increased dramatically.
Even Buzhou Mountain seemed to be recovering!
As Zhen Yuanzi sensed the Earth Book and gazed into the distance at Buzhou Mountain's broken section, he could not help but sigh with emotion.
If the Witch-Demon War had occurred now,
perhaps even two Ancestral Witches would have been unable to destroy the Heavenly Pillar.
Within the Underworld, inside the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Houtu sensed the changes in the earth, and her heart was filled with emotion.
The power of the Earth Dao had grown increasingly profound. Even she could sense the joy of the Earth Dao Divine Seal.
"I wonder which Dao Venerable has driven the evolution of the Primordial Wilderness. If fate permits, I must properly thank them."
A smile appeared on Houtu's face.
In the past, the Primordial Wilderness's heavens had collapsed and its earth had split apart, nearly ending in destruction.
Yet now, it had not only been repaired, but gone even further!
The Primordial World Beings had also become increasingly prosperous.
Houtu possessed great love in her heart, and she was filled with joy.
Just then.
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
Houtu suddenly sensed a faint yet powerful beating coming from deep within the earth!
It was like the pulse of a weak yet vigorous heart!
Houtu's gaze sharpened!
What was happening?
Saint power instantly spread across the entire land!
Very quickly, Houtu's Saint power locked onto a place she knew exceedingly well!
Buzhou Mountain!
By the time Houtu's Saint power arrived there,
the beating had already vanished.
Houtu's expression changed drastically, and a complicated look flashed through her eyes.
Deep within Buzhou Mountain was the place most familiar to their Witch Race—the Witch Race's sacred land, Pangu Hall.
Houtu was incomparably shocked. "That heartbeat came from Pangu Hall?" she murmured. "Could it be that Pangu's Heart is still beating?"
This thought made her furrow her brows, leaving her even more confused.
Pangu's Heart could still beat? That was simply inconceivable. Nothing like this had ever happened during the countless eons of the Witch Race's existence.
Could it be because of the evolution currently occurring in the Primordial Wilderness? Or was everything under the control of that mysterious mighty expert who had driven the Primordial Wilderness's evolution?
Houtu gently shook her head. Even Saints could not touch such a secret.
Perhaps only Taiqing Laozi might know.
She wanted to investigate further, but she could not enter Buzhou Mountain, much less Pangu Hall.
That place could even block heavenly secrets. Even with her cultivation, she had no way to perceive it.
"I must complete the establishment of the Earth Dao as soon as possible," Houtu silently resolved. "Then I can leave the Underworld and go to Buzhou Mountain to investigate."
She subconsciously looked toward Daluo Heaven. Perhaps only Taiqing Laozi could unravel this mystery.
Within Wa Huang Palace in Grand Simplicity Heaven, Nüwa felt deeply gratified at the flourishing abundance of Primordial World Beings.
Her path had always been the Dao of Creation, so she naturally held a fondness for living beings.
Yet Nüwa was equally astonished by the Primordial Wilderness's current level of evolution.
This had likely already surpassed the limits of the Primordial Wilderness!
"Who exactly was driving such a drastic transformation in the Primordial Wilderness?"
"Hongjun? Absolutely impossible. How could Hongjun possess such audacity?"
Nüwa shook her head and turned her gaze toward Purple Cloud Palace.
She wondered how the Dao Ancestor would react to the changes in the Primordial Wilderness.
Purple Cloud Palace.
Hongjun's expression shifted unpredictably.
This evolution of the Primordial Wilderness had completely exceeded his expectations!
Who was behind it all?
Tongtian could not help throwing back his head and laughing wildly.
"Hongjun, there are ultimately things you never anticipated!"
"Is this Primordial Wilderness truly under your control?"
Even though he was wounded and trapped, Tongtian showed no fear toward Hongjun.
There was a trace of boldness in his laughter.
And even contempt for Hongjun.
Hongjun shot Tongtian a cold glance.
Then his figure vanished in an instant.
He entered the void of the Heavenly Dao.
At this moment, he had no time to entangle himself with Tongtian.
His foremost priority was not to uncover the reason behind the Primordial Wilderness's evolution.
It was to seize complete control of the authority enhanced by the Heavenly Dao.
Otherwise, as the Primordial Wilderness advanced and the Heavenly Dao continuously strengthened,
his progress in merging with the Dao would be obstructed.
This was something Hongjun could not tolerate.
As for the Heavenly Court, still locked in fierce battle, and the nearly crazed Haotian,
Hongjun could not be bothered to pay them any attention.
Haotian might be incompetent, but he had plans of his own.
Human Emperor Ying Zheng was doomed to die!
Daluo Heaven.
Within Eight Sceneries Palace.
Taiqing paid no attention whatsoever to Haotian of the Heavenly Court.
Ying Zheng's campaign against the Heavenly Court was already a foregone conclusion.
Even if the Buddhist Sect intervened and Saints lent their aid, it would be of no use.
What Taiqing cared about now was the system reward.
Just then, the system notification sounded once more:
The Primordial World had completed its comprehensive advancement! The Primordial Wilderness had been detected advancing into the Five Tai World for the first time! The host's Origin Essence had transformed! Primordial Origin Authority had risen to intermediate level! The host would receive a transcendent reward!
A transcendent reward?
Taiqing was slightly stunned upon hearing this.
Then excitement surged within him.
The Primordial Wilderness advancing into the Five Tai World was bound to trigger enormous changes.
This reward was surely extraordinarily remarkable.
