Great God Pangu's manifested will began to dissipate.
The blessed grotto-heaven where Taiqing stood also began to fade, vanishing completely before his eyes in the blink of an eye.
"Father God, wait! I still want to ask how to invoke Merit of World Creation."
Taiqing reached out and hurriedly called after him.
But Great God Pangu's figure had already disappeared completely.
Merit of World Creation possessed boundless mysteries.
If they could actively invoke Merit of World Creation, then even if Heavenly Dao and Hongjun joined forces, they would not be able to harm the Sanqing or the Twelve Ancestral Witches in the slightest.
But after he took form and entered the world, that Merit of World Creation had hidden deep within his Primordial Spirit.
No matter how he tried to draw it out, the Merit of World Creation remained utterly unmoved.
Having failed to make use of Merit of World Creation, he had only then thought to ask Great God Pangu.
"Inheritance..."
As if in response, Great God Pangu's voice came through, but Taiqing only heard the two words "inheritance"; the rest was impossible to make out.
"Inheritance?
It seems everything must wait until the inheritance appears before we can truly establish ourselves in the Primordial Wilderness."
Everything came back to the inheritance, to the Sanqing becoming one. It would have to wait until Yuqing and Shangqing entered the world.
"No, I can't just sit and wait for death. Ten Eons!
Who knows what those two old thieves, Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, might do over these ten Eons.
I can't leave the initiative in someone else's hands. I have to strike first.
I'll try my luck in the Eastern Sea and see whether I can find the Three Immortal Islands."
Taiqing immediately made up his mind and set out for the Eastern Sea in search of the Three Immortal Islands.
He was not someone who would hand the initiative over to others.
Heavenly Dao and Hongjun might be plotting against the Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches even now.
Taiqing did not know that because of him, the Will of Pangu had manifested, shaking the Primordial Wilderness.
Every great power who had reincarnated from the Chaos Demon Gods into the Primordial Wilderness to cultivate anew, including Hongjun, rushed toward Buzhou Mountain.
After planning his route, Taiqing comprehended the Will of Pangu atop Buzhou Mountain.
He used Pangu's Pressure to temper his physical body.
After offering three more incense sticks to Pangu's memorial tablet and worshipping devoutly, Taiqing finally made his way unhurriedly toward the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
"Sure enough, before the time is right, none of these Innate Spiritual Treasures or Innate Spiritual Roots will enter the world.
I thought I could use my foresight to find a few Innate Spiritual Treasures or Innate Spiritual Roots."
On Buzhou Mountain, Taiqing did not rush down the mountain to head for the Eastern Sea and search for the Three Immortal Islands.
Instead, he leisurely searched all over Buzhou Mountain, hoping to encounter some opportunity.
There were quite a few opportunities on Buzhou Mountain: the Innate Gourd Vine and the seven gourds it bore.
The Innate Banana Tree, whose four banana leaves possessed the functions of stabilizing earth, wind, water, and fire, each one a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
And the Innate Five Elements Pine, a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, among others.
Unfortunately, those Spiritual Treasures and Spiritual Roots were all still gestating, and Taiqing could not sense the corresponding opportunities.
Boom!
Just then, a terrifying figure shot swiftly across the sky above Taiqing.
The aura of Five Elements Law emanated from that terrifying figure. It was Old Ancestor Wuxing, who had rushed over from his Daoist Arena.
"Hm? Since when has Pangu's Pressure on Buzhou Mountain become so weak?
A mere Grand Unity Golden Immortal ant can actually withstand Pangu's Pressure and reach this place?
Forget it. I'll first go to the summit of Buzhou Mountain and see what is going on with Pangu.
Has he truly revived or not?"
Above him, Old Ancestor Wuxing noticed Taiqing as he flew past and let out a surprised sound. Though puzzled and shocked, his thoughts remained on Pangu.
He paid no attention to Taiqing and headed straight toward the summit of Buzhou Mountain.
Although even Hunyuan Golden Immortals could not withstand Pangu's Pressure above Buzhou Mountain's midpoint.
Old Ancestor Wuxing was no ordinary Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
His origin was the Five Elements Demon God, once ranked near the forefront among the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods of Chaos.
Relying on his reincarnated Chaos Demon God origin and secret techniques, he could temporarily resist Pangu's Pressure.
He would not need much time merely to investigate the summit of Buzhou Mountain.
Below, Taiqing's expression turned solemn.
After Old Ancestor Wuxing left, he immediately activated the Taiji Diagram to conceal all information about himself.
To be safe, Taiqing also used the Chaos Bell to disrupt all information in the area.
Then he gathered his thoughts and quietly hurried down the mountain.
"Why would Old Ancestor Wuxing come to Buzhou Mountain? Could it be because of Father God's will?"
Taiqing did not need to guess to know that the figure just now had been Old Ancestor Wuxing.
With such powerful Five Elements Law, what native being born in the Primordial Wilderness at the beginning of Genesis could possibly have attained such a level?
Since Old Ancestor Wuxing had come, what about the other powerhouses reincarnated from the Chaos Demon Gods?
They would most likely also come to Buzhou Mountain to investigate.
To be safe, Taiqing had better remain cautious.
If any of those so-called Old Ancestors caught him, he would have no power to resist.
Especially Old Thief Hongjun and old Luohu.
Sure enough, after Taiqing concealed his figure and information, several more figures soon flew over his head in succession.
One figure bore Yin-Yang Laws. It was Yin-Yang Ancestor.
One figure bore the Law of Reincarnation. It was Ancestor Reincarnation.
One figure bore Demonic Path Laws. It was Devil Ancestor Luohu.
One figure bore Immortal Dao Law. It was Old Thief Hongjun.
"Good thing I concealed my aura. If Old Thief Hongjun had discovered me, I fear it would have been difficult to escape today."
Seeing Old Thief Hongjun, Taiqing inwardly rejoiced that he had decisively hidden his information.
If Old Thief Hongjun had discovered him, he would likely have been taken back for a thorough study.
After all, Taiqing had entered the world many Eons earlier than the time originally decreed by Heavenly Dao.
Taiqing did not yet know that Hongjun had long since visited the place where the Sanqing were gestating.
Moreover, Hongjun had plotted against the Sanqing's Companion Treasures.
When Heavenly Dao Power encountered Merit of World Creation, Heavenly Dao was severely wounded, and Hongjun was likewise blasted into serious injury.
Several more figures appeared one after another afterward, heading toward the summit of Buzhou Mountain.
But Taiqing had no mind to pay attention. Concealing his aura, he hurried toward the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
"An altar table? Who set up a memorial tablet here to worship Pangu?"
Old Ancestor Wuxing was the first to arrive at the summit of Buzhou Mountain. Pangu's Pressure collided with the secret technique surrounding him, producing specks of light.
The summit of Buzhou Mountain was extremely flat, making the altar table particularly conspicuous. The moment Old Ancestor Wuxing reached the summit, he saw it.
Old Ancestor Wuxing cautiously approached the memorial tablet Taiqing had erected.
He did not reach out to touch or inspect it, instead carefully studying Pangu's memorial tablet.
Anything connected to Pangu demanded caution from Five Elements.
After all, back in Chaos, Pangu had opened the Primordial Wilderness.
The sight of a single axe strike killing vast numbers of Chaos Demon Gods remained vivid in his mind.
For all he knew, Pangu might have left behind some method that would suddenly appear and give him an axe strike the moment he touched the memorial tablet.
Wouldn't that mean Five Elements died an unjust death?
"Better wait for the other Daoist Friends to arrive and discuss it. Perhaps some unlucky fool will be stubborn enough to inspect it first?"
Old Ancestor Wuxing muttered in a sly, low voice.
Before long, the others arrived one after another.
More than ten of them stared at Pangu's memorial tablet, all inwardly astonished. Yet they merely looked at it without making any move.
Each of them had countless schemes in mind, waiting for someone else to act first and test the danger for them.
"Daoist Friend Wuxing, you arrived first. Did you discover anything?
If you found something and hid that information for yourself, wouldn't that be rather unfair to us old friends?"
Before you continue
