It was Candle Dragon!
Boundless Saintly Might filled the heavens, and the Dragon Clan erupted in celebration.
Wonderful!
The ancestor had attained the Dao of Primordial Unity and claimed a Saint position!
Dragon roars echoed throughout Wuji Heaven.
Kong Xuan stood among them, his face filled with envy.
Candle Dragon had actually attained the Dao of Primordial Unity!
The Dragon Clan had joined Wuji Heaven later than the Phoenix Race, yet a Sage had already emerged among them.
Meanwhile, the Phoenix Race did not even possess a single Quasi-Saint at the peak stage. He himself was merely a Late Quasi-Saint.
How enviable...
Kong Xuan sighed softly.
He had already grown tired of saying the word "envy."
The giant dragon soared across the nine heavens, shaking all living beings of the Primordial Wilderness.
A Sage!
Wuji Heaven had gained another Sage!
How long had the Dragon Clan been part of Wuji Heaven? They had directly attained the Dao of Primordial Unity!
Within Buzhou Mountain, Zhu Rong saw the Dragon Shadow in the sky and was overwhelmed with excitement. He rushed to She Bishi's side. "He became a Sage! Candle Dragon became a Sage! Another Sage has emerged from Wuji Heaven!"
She Bishi looked at him darkly, his expression wooden and utterly unmoved.
His heart had long since gone completely cold.
Was it not commonplace for Wuji Heaven to produce Sages?
Which Sage was this already?
"Longevity Immortal Venerable is practically a Sage-producing machine."
Hearing this, the excitement on Zhu Rong's face gradually faded, turning into a bitter smile.
Yes...
What was he happy about?
The one who had become a Sage was not from the Witch Clan.
Sigh!
The bitterness in his heart was beyond words.
When would someone from the Witch Clan attain the Dao of Primordial Unity?
At that moment, Di Jiang slowly spoke:
"Perhaps our Witch Clan should also make a trip to Wuji Heaven."
He had another plan in mind.
He wanted to determine whether the Heaven-Opening Profound Scripture was connected to Father God Pangu.
If it truly was related, the Witch Clan might be able to forge some ties with Wuji Heaven.
By then, as long as they clung tightly to Lu Changqing's golden thigh, why would the Witch Clan need to worry about producing no Sages?
That would not be a problem at all!
Thirty-three Heavens.
Within the Heavenly Court.
Di Jun and Tai Yi were equally stunned.
Good heavens!
How long had it been? Wuji Heaven had actually produced another Sage?
It truly lived up to its reputation as a Sage-producing machine!
That nickname was indeed fitting!
"I wonder when our Demon Clan will produce a Sage..."
Di Jun murmured, his expression complicated.
A Sage...
When would the Demon Clan possess a Sage of its own?
Though they no longer needed to fight the Witch Clan with weapons drawn, if the Demon Clan had a Sage overseeing them, they would be enough to firmly suppress the Witch Clan!
That alone would be enough!
Beyond the Nine Heavens.
Candle Dragon returned in high spirits and respectfully came before Lu Changqing.
He said excitedly, "Thanks to Great Master's guidance! Without your help, Candle Dragon would likely have never attained a Saint position in this lifetime!"
Lu Changqing nodded lightly.
The timing of Candle Dragon's ascension was just right.
The great array still required manpower. The more Sages there were, the faster its construction would progress.
He said bluntly, "Now that you have broken through, go assist with the array."
Candle Dragon immediately accepted the order, transforming into a streak of light that shot into the great array and began helping construct its formation nodes.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, two thousand years went by.
Over those two thousand years, Lu Changqing successfully spent another four trillion merit.
With a little more expenditure, he would gather twenty trillion merit—one-fifth of the system mission was within reach.
At the thought, ripples stirred in Lu Changqing's heart.
Soon!
After such a long time, he was finally about to complete one-fifth of it!
The dawn of victory had appeared!
He looked up and saw that the Sages were still urgently setting up the array.
Over two thousand years, the Sages had worked together to complete eighty percent of the great array.
Lu Changqing could not help but sigh. With so many Sages, together with the newly ascended Candle Dragon, working in unison, it had still taken two thousand years.
This showed just how profound and magnificent this array was!
Above the skies of the Primordial Wilderness, the eighty-percent-complete massive array radiated dazzling light.
Countless streams of profound spiritual resonance continuously poured forth from the array, filling heaven and earth with vast Dao intent.
Every node was surrounded by boundless mysteries, while every position guarded by a Sage contained infinite profound principles.
Endless Great Dao Divine Patterns wound and stretched through the array. Golden lotuses containing the aura of laws bloomed throughout the Primordial Wilderness beneath the array's shroud, spreading without end as far as the eye could see.
Dazzling golden radiance illuminated the Great Thousand World.
Lu Changqing quietly observed everything and yawned.
Simply watching was indeed rather boring.
But he absolutely would not personally take action—having already spent a vast amount of merit to hire the Sages, there was naturally no need for him to exhaust himself.
Besides, he had arranged for the newly ascended Candle Dragon to help as well.
That was already sufficient.
No one knew how much time passed before an astonishing phenomenon suddenly appeared throughout the Primordial Wilderness.
The entire world seemed to merge into one, with infinite mysteries blending and resonating, as though heaven and earth had become united.
This was a sign that the great array was about to be completed.
The resonance of heaven and earth meant the array was nearing completion!
Tongtian flew over, unable to conceal his excitement, his face beaming with joy:
"Hahahaha! It is done! After all these years, we have finally completed this great array!"
"Only the final step remains before we can activate it!"
Tongtian said joyfully.
Lu Changqing also smiled upon hearing this.
Once the array was activated, the speed at which he spent merit would increase once again—this was truly tremendous news for him.
The other Sages were likewise unable to hide their anticipation.
Was it going to be completed?!
It was finally going to be completed?!
After waiting for so long, they had finally reached the final moment!
They were about to witness the culmination of all their efforts over countless years.
Hongjun's eyes were also filled with hope.
This Supreme Great Array would finally be fully completed!
He too wished to personally witness what an awe-inspiring sight it would be when the array was activated.
"I have a feeling that we are creating history!"
Yuanshi sighed softly.
The Sages all nodded.
Indeed!
This array would surely lead the Primordial Wilderness into a brand-new era!
How could it not set their hearts racing?!
Beyond the Ninth Heaven.
Hongjun said calmly, "Only the final step remains!"
"The foundation of the great array has all been laid. The final step is to draw upon the origin of the Heavenly Dao!"
"Construct a web of Heavenly Dao order and completely forge it into the great array!"
"Only then can the array merge perfectly with the Primordial World!"
"Only then can it truly become a part of the Primordial Wilderness!"
After hearing this, the Sages all turned their gazes toward Lu Changqing.
There was no other choice.
In the entire Primordial Wilderness, only Lu Changqing could accomplish this.
Even the Dao Ancestor himself had to admit it.
If he drew upon the origin of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao would likely regard him as an aberration and directly send down heavenly punishment.
Only Lu Changqing could accomplish this.
At this thought, Hongjun's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
He was the dignified Dao Ancestor!
Yet this position as Spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao was far too stifling!
The Heavenly Dao treated Lu Changqing as though he were its own beloved child!
It obeyed his every word.
As for Hongjun, it was clearly the Heavenly Dao that told him what to do, and only then did he do it.
How miserable!
"Fellow Daoist Changqing, we will be relying entirely on you from here on!"
Tongtian said, unable to suppress the excitement on his face.
The Supreme Great Array they had worked on for so long was finally about to be completed!
This was tremendous news for the entire Primordial Wilderness.
Lu Changqing nodded slightly, and the Heavenly Dao Scepter appeared in his hand.
He directly activated its authority and drew upon the immense power of the Heavenly Dao.
Rumble!
The next moment, boundless heavenly might swept across the Primordial Wilderness.
Countless strands of profound Heavenly Dao power intertwined and crisscrossed across the firmament.
The River of Time and Space also faintly appeared and vanished—both were heavenly phenomena drawn forth by the immense power of the Heavenly Dao.
Immediately afterward, the phantom of a majestic Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel manifested beyond the Nine Heavens,
Hanging high above the Thirty-three Heavens.
This was the phantom of a complete Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel!
All living beings of the Primordial Wilderness looked up at the divine wheel, utterly shocked.
It had appeared again!
The phantom of a complete Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel!
Only Lu Changqing could summon the phantom of the complete divine wheel!
If it were Hongjun, he could manifest at most half of it!
There was no helping it—
This was the will of fate!
Even the phantom of the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel had appeared. Just what kind of immense power did this great array require?
Many great powers were confused.
Deploying multiple Sages to set up a great array was already shocking enough,
Yet now they had even summoned the phantom of the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel.
Was such a massive undertaking really necessary?
Everyone grew increasingly eager for the moment the great array was completed,
All wishing to see exactly what kind of peerless array it would be!
The Sages watched as the phantom of the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel manifested.
Each of them was filled with boundless emotion.
Fellow Daoist Changqing was indeed Fellow Daoist Changqing!
Only he could make the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel value him so highly that it directly manifested its complete phantom!
Brother Heavenly Dao, lend me your origin for a moment!
Lu Changqing looked at the phantom of the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel and spoke openly.
The moment those words fell, all living beings between heaven and earth froze.
What?!
Saint Changqing wanted to borrow the Heavenly Dao's origin?!
And he said it so casually!
Such a request was simply unheard of!
The Heavenly Dao's origin—
How could an ordinary cultivator possibly lay a hand on it?
Even if Dao Ancestor Hongjun made such a request, he would likely be struck by heavenly lightning!
It was like saying to a cultivator: Fellow Daoist, lend me your primordial spirit for a moment!
It was not a matter of whether one would lend it or not!
Zhen Yuanzi's eyelid twitched as he murmured, "Could it be that my knowledge is too shallow?"
Why did Saint Changqing always manage to do the unexpected?
It was truly shameful by comparison!
Within the Heavenly Court.
Di Jun, Tai Yi, and the other great powers of the Demon Clan looked at one another.
That tone.
That request.
Would the Heavenly Dao agree?
Or would it... directly unleash Heavenly Punishment?
At the summit of Buzhou Mountain.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches stood dumbfounded.
They prided themselves on their courage.
Yet compared to Lu Changqing, they were practically petty witches before a Great Witch.
That was the Heavenly Dao's origin!
The very foundation of the Heavenly Dao!
In the depths of the void.
Ming He and the other Sages wore shifting expressions.
Great Master was being far too...
He spoke of borrowing the Heavenly Dao's origin as though it were nothing?
Laozi and the other Sages stood equally stunned.
This was what Lu Changqing had meant?
This was clearly a heaven-shaking calamity!
Hongjun watched coldly from the sidelines.
He dearly hoped Lu Changqing would anger the Heavenly Dao.
He recalled how, as the Spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, he had been struck by lightning three times because of Lu Changqing!
Three times!
The Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel slowly turned.
After a moment, it actually conveyed its assent.
Dazzling divine light enveloped the Primordial Wilderness.
Endless laws manifested throughout the world.
On Longevity Mountain.
Zhen Yuanzi's face was full of shock.
Such a grand array!
No wonder it required the combined efforts of all the Sages!
Within the Heavenly Court.
Di Jun and Tai Yi were utterly shaken.
The Heavenly Dao had truly agreed...
It was simply inconceivable!
At the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches could hardly believe it.
Was this still the Heavenly Dao they knew?
Within the void.
The Sages were utterly astonished.
Ming He and the others secretly clicked their tongues.
Could Great Master be the Heavenly Dao's biological father?
Hongjun was completely dumbfounded.
Heavenly Dao, where were your principles?
You just agreed like that?
Rumble—
The order of the Heavenly Dao merged perfectly with the great array.
The great array quietly vanished into heaven and earth.
Lu Changqing stood with his hands behind his back:
"This array is called the Hunyuan Heaven and Earth Great Array!"
"Once the array is complete, all living beings of the Primordial Wilderness may travel ten thousand miles in an instant!"
Heaven and earth fell silent.
After countless beings tested it, they discovered it was indeed true!
They could actually roam the entire Primordial Wilderness at will!
Heavens!
There was actually such a profound array in this world!
Longevity Immortal Venerable was peerless beneath heaven!
Longevity Immortal Venerable's divine abilities were unmatched!
He could even set up such a great array!
Wuji Heaven was indeed extraordinary!
The hearts of all beings surged with emotion. This array was truly earth-shattering!
All living creatures of the Primordial Wilderness erupted in excitement.
Who could have imagined that such a divine array existed in the world!
This was a supreme formation that allowed one to instantly reach every corner of the Primordial Wilderness!
This had originally been the power of a Sage, yet it could now be achieved through a single array!
Longevity Immortal Venerable was truly formidable!
He could be called unparalleled!
Within the Primordial Wilderness, only he could accomplish such an array!
Within the territory of the Witch Clan.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches were utterly shocked.
