"Innate Yin Yang Divine Light!"
Yang Jian instinctively knew the name of that silver light.
In an instant, his Heavenly Eye opened, and silver divine light burst forth in a rampage as heaven and earth roared.
The laws of order throughout the entire world began to surge wildly, and the heavenly secrets fell into chaos in an instant.
A terrifying divine light split heaven and earth in two, as if it were creating the world.
The entire Heavenly Court, even the Three Realms, was enveloped in silver divine light.
The power of the Yin Yang Origin Law rampaged through heaven and earth, and the Origin Laws of this world were also drawn out beyond control.
In an instant, the Heaven and Earth Laws roared, and waves of Dao sounds rang out, leaving all living beings in the Three Realms utterly dumbfounded. Then came shock and horror, and overwhelming fear.
The Six Saints of the Heavens were especially shaken, so much so that they lost some of their Sage dignity. They had none of their usual aloofness, that detached bearing of looking down on all things and all living beings.
Of course, though the commotion was so great, this was only the Heavenly Eye's final afterglow.
After all, that wisp of Yin Yang Qi had already fused with the Heavenly Eye and adapted to this world's Origin Laws. Its rank had fallen, and the divine light faded.
The Three Realms seemed to return to peace.
The Heavenly Eye at the center of Yang Jian's brow also closed.
Yang Jian knew very well that although his Heavenly Eye had grown much, much, much stronger, it no longer possessed the terrifying might it had just displayed. That had been its final afterglow.
Still, it had given Yang Jian a profound understanding of just how terrifying the level Bai Yu stood at was.
Yang Jian also knew that fusing with the Heavenly Eye had lowered the rank of that wisp of Yin Yang Qi, apparently so it could adapt to this world's Origin Laws.
It was a pity that the wisp of Yin Yang Qi was in Yang Jian's hands rather than Hongjun's. Otherwise, perhaps the Yin Yang Origin Law of this world would have undergone a transformation, just like in the High Martial World where Shi Yaoyao lived.
"Still, it's so terrifying. I can even fight a Sage now..." Yang Jian secretly clicked his tongue and murmured in amazement.
At that moment, the Innate Yin Yang Divine Light within the Heavenly Eye contained the Yin Yang Origin Law. Although its rank had fallen, it had reached completion, equivalent to containing a complete Yin Yang Origin Law.
In this world, to some extent, it could even count as attaining Sagehood through a Law. Unfortunately, Yang Jian couldn't fully unleash the might of the Innate Yin Yang Divine Light. Even so, it made him invincible beneath the Sages.
He could even fight a Sage. Well, if Yang Jian disregarded the consequences, he could forcibly unleash a beam of Heavenly Eye divine light with power to match a Sage.
Paying no further heed to Yang Jian, who was both startled and delighted, Bai Yu's gaze, tinged with a trace of indifference, swept over the entire world once more.
Although this was the Lotus Lantern World, not the Primordial World, if one traced it back to its roots, it could still be considered part of the Primordial World.
After all, the Six Saints of the Heavens and Ancestor Hongjun existed here, and even the powerful beings between heaven and earth were much like those of the Primordial World.
Dense Law divine light shone in Bai Yu's eyes. At that moment, the main focus was the Time Origin Law.
With the Time Law as the main force and the many other Laws as support, he began to capture this world's Time Origin Law, then the River of Time.
It was easy. Bai Yu saw the River of Time in this world, then vanished from where he stood and appeared within it.
This world was a Middle Thousand World, where no Origin Great Dao existed. Therefore, for Bai Yu, this world's River of Time could be completely suppressed and even controlled.
With a thought from Bai Yu, the Origin Laws flowed, and he began to swim upstream through the River of Time.
In the next instant, Bai Yu returned to the Investiture of the Gods era.
By then, the Six Saints of the Heavens and Dao Ancestor Hongjun had also reacted, and they entered the River of Time one after another.
The Six Saints of the Heavens couldn't swim upstream through the River of Time, and could only stare helplessly.
Hongjun glanced at the Six Saints of the Heavens and said, "An Outer Realm Saint has descended. The fact that they can ignore the order of the Heavenly Dao and swim upstream through the River of Time shows how terrifying they are. First stabilize the Three Realms, then investigate the earlier disturbance in the Laws."
With that, Hongjun placed the Jade Plate of Creation above his head and, bearing the majestic might of the Heavenly Dao, swam upstream through the River of Time, leaving the Six Saints of the Heavens staring at one another.
When Bai Yu reached the time of the Witch-Demon Calamity, he stopped, as though waiting for something.
Before long, Hongjun, with the Jade Plate of Creation above his head, appeared before Bai Yu.
"Fellow Daoist, why are you interfering with the River of Time in this world?"
Hongjun watched Bai Yu warily, gave him the courtesy of a fellow equal, and spoke in an indifferent tone.
But inside, he was utterly shocked. He found that he couldn't see through this Outer Realm Saint before him at all. The Origin Laws seemed to cloak the Saint's entire body, while divine light swirled around him.
Even more terrifying, this Saint had comprehended and mastered not just one Origin Law. The divine light of so many Origin Laws made Hongjun's heart tremble.
With the Jade Plate of Creation in his possession and having merged with the Dao, Hongjun could be called the one supreme existence in this world.
Because he had merged with the Dao, Hongjun could use all the Origin Laws of this world. But strictly speaking, he was merely borrowing them, not comprehending and mastering every Origin Law himself.
Hongjun knew very well just how difficult it was to master even a single Origin Law.
The path of attaining Sagehood through a Law was an exceedingly arduous road to proving the Dao.
Yet this Outer Realm Saint before him had mastered so many Origin Laws. It was simply unimaginable, utterly shocking!
Moreover, Hongjun clearly sensed that this Outer Realm Saint's Origin Laws surpassed those of this world.
At that thought, Hongjun's heart shuddered. He realized he might not be a match for the Outer Realm Saint before him.
And this was on his home ground.
So Hongjun didn't attack at once. Otherwise, the mere fact that Bai Yu had swum upstream through the River of Time and interfered with the past would have been enough for Hongjun to show no mercy and suppress Bai Yu in a single blow.
"Rest assured, I won't destroy this world. I've come here only to take a few spiritual roots." Bai Yu looked at Hongjun, his expression indifferent, and spoke calmly.
Hongjun frowned and continued, "May I ask which spiritual roots you want?"
"The Peach Tree of Immortality, the Bodhi Tree, the Ginseng Fruit Tree, Fusang Wood, and Yellow Bell Plum."
That was right. Bai Yu had come to this world for these five Elemental Innate Spiritual Roots.
Although this world was only a Middle Thousand World, its Innate Spiritual Roots certainly couldn't compare with those of the Great Thousand Primordial World.
They weren't even remotely comparable.
But Bai Yu had no choice. He couldn't obtain the five Elemental Innate Spiritual Roots of the Great Thousand Primordial World, so he could only settle for second best.
Although their ranks and grades weren't on the same level, they could at least be called of the same root and origin.
As long as he brought them back to the Great Thousand Primordial World and carefully cultivated and nurtured them, replenishing their origins, then even if they still couldn't compare to the Innate Spiritual Roots of the Primordial World, they probably wouldn't be far behind.
Of course, this was only Bai Yu's guess. As for the specifics, he would first have to obtain these five kinds of Innate Spiritual Roots from this world.
