Pangu Marrow

"The Five Elements trail suddenly cut off here.

There are three possibilities. Either that ant was rescued by someone whose cultivation surpasses mine.

Or it possesses a Five Elements Supreme Treasure that erased the Five Elements trail.

Or it entered some strange place that blocked the Five Elements' investigation."

Old Ancestor Wuxing immediately began analyzing the situation with great clarity, displaying the breadth of his knowledge.

He had actually guessed the reason Taiqing had vanished.

Just as Old Ancestor Wuxing was analyzing matters, Hongjun quickly caught up from behind.

Seeing that Old Ancestor Wuxing had failed to capture that ant, he felt rather disappointed.

"Daoist Friend Wuxing, what exactly did you discover that made you care so much about a mere Grand Unity Golden Immortal ant?"

Hongjun caught up, frowning slightly as he looked at the void ahead.

That Grand Unity Golden Immortal definitely possessed some great secret. Otherwise, an existence like Old Ancestor Wuxing would never have pursued him.

"Hmph! Nothing much. I merely sensed something on him that is fated to me."

Old Ancestor Wuxing snorted coldly, clearly displeased with Hongjun.

He had practically been about to succeed, only for that old thief Hongjun to interfere.

If old thief Hongjun had not interfered, he would likely have already captured that Grand Unity Golden Immortal and learned the secret of the Will of Pangu.

Old Ancestor Wuxing had no interest in sharing secrets with others.

He casually made up an excuse to brush off old thief Hongjun.

"Daoist Friend Hongjun, could it be that you intend to seize the thing fated to me?"

Old Ancestor Wuxing's Late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal cultivation erupted as he fixed Hongjun with an unfriendly gaze.

"Oh? It is merely something fated to you?"

Hongjun did not believe a single word Old Ancestor Wuxing said.

In secret, Hongjun communicated with the Heavenly Dao, attempting to use Heavenly Dao Power to sneak into the Innate Great Formation.

Unfortunately, no matter how he communicated with the Heavenly Dao, it gave him no response.

He could not even draw upon the slightest trace of Heavenly Dao Power.

*Forget it. There is no need to offend that old Five Elements bastard beyond repair.

I should leave first and focus on preparing for my Dao struggle with Luohu.

Perhaps when the time comes, I may even need that old Five Elements bastard's help, using him as cannon fodder to test Luohu.

Offending this piece of cannon fodder to the death over some unknown object on a Grand Unity Golden Immortal is not worth it.

If he helps Luohu when I battle Luohu in a Dao struggle, that would be quite troublesome.*

Unable to communicate with the Heavenly Dao or draw upon Heavenly Dao Power, Hongjun's plan to secretly infiltrate the Innate Great Formation fell through.

In order not to completely offend Old Ancestor Wuxing, this Hunyuan Golden Immortal Great Power and valuable piece of cannon fodder, old thief Hongjun had already decided to retreat.

"Hahaha, Daoist Friend Wuxing, do not be angry. Poor Daoist was merely curious for a moment.

After all, the Will of Pangu had only just awakened, and you were pursuing a Grand Unity Golden Immortal ant.

It was only natural for me to become suspicious. It is not that I wished to seize the thing fated to you.

Poor Daoist apologizes to you here.

This is the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Purple Lightning Hammer. Consider it an apology gift. I sincerely hope you will not take this matter to heart.

Do not let it damage the friendship between us that has lasted countless Eons."

Hongjun cupped his hands in salute and produced a hammer flashing with endless purple lightning—the Purple Lightning Hammer.

Its grade was actually that of a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

In order to prevent Old Ancestor Wuxing, this powerful piece of cannon fodder, from harboring resentment, Hongjun had paid a hefty price.

Now it was Old Ancestor Wuxing's turn to feel awkward. Looking at the Purple Lightning Hammer, he did not know whether to accept it or not.

However, recalling what Old Ancestor Hongjun had done atop Buzhou Mountain, he sneered inwardly and accepted the Purple Lightning Hammer.

"Hmph! Old thief Hongjun, do you think a mere top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure is enough to dispel my resentment toward you?

I will accept your Purple Lightning Hammer. Let us see how you survive your future Dao struggle with Luohu."

Hongjun's Dao struggle with Luohu had long ceased to be a secret. All of them, powerful beings who had been Chaos Demon Gods reborn and cultivating anew, knew of it.

By accepting the Purple Lightning Hammer, he could weaken old thief Hongjun somewhat. Old Ancestor Wuxing was more than happy to do so.

"Then, Daoist Friend Wuxing, Poor Daoist shall take his leave. Do not keep this matter in your heart."

Seeing Old Ancestor Wuxing accept the Purple Lightning Hammer, Hongjun sneered inwardly, though he wore a cheerful smile.

He cupped his hands in salute, transformed into a streak of light, and headed toward Jade Capital Mountain.

"Hmph! Old Five Elements bastard, my Purple Lightning Hammer is not so easily accepted.

Once you accept the Purple Lightning Hammer, you will have formed Causality with this Old Ancestor. Otherwise! Hmph hmph, Causality will make you suffer.

Once your value has been drained dry, will this Purple Lightning Hammer not return to my hands anyway?"

Hongjun's calculations were excellent. He would use the Purple Lightning Hammer to forge Causality between himself and Old Ancestor Wuxing.

Then, during his Dao struggle with Luohu, Old Ancestor Wuxing would settle this Causality by serving as cannon fodder for Old Ancestor Hongjun and dying with his Dao extinguished.

The Purple Lightning Hammer would then return intact to Hongjun's hands.

It was a perfect scheme to profit without investment.

"Hmph, Causality? Does he think Old Ancestor Wuxing is so easily fooled?

You, Hongjun, are merely an earthworm who has only gained the favor of the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness.

Back in the Chaos era, I was one of the Top Ten Chaos Demon Gods.

You still have an entire epoch to go before you can use Causality to scheme against me."

Feeling Causality coil around him, Old Ancestor Wuxing snorted coldly. He already had his own plans regarding the Causality tied to the Purple Lightning Hammer.

Putting away the Purple Lightning Hammer, Old Ancestor Wuxing built a simple cave dwelling where Taiqing had vanished and began lying in wait.

Inside the Innate Great Formation, Taiqing was utterly stunned by the sight before him after entering.

Within the Innate Great Formation was something like a Great Thousand World.

Immortal cranes danced within it, while auspicious beasts roamed about.

Countless immortal herbs and spiritual roots absorbed and exhaled Innate Spiritual Qi.

Pools of spiritual liquid formed from liquefied Innate Spiritual Qi lay scattered throughout the Innate Great Formation.

Most importantly, Fifteen Suns hung high above the Great Thousand World within the Innate Great Formation.

Their gentle radiance illuminated the entire Great Thousand World. The spirit beasts, spiritual roots, and spiritual liquid within this world

had all been derived from those fifteen brilliant suns high in the sky.

Bathed in the light of those Fifteen Suns, Taiqing felt the power of his physical body slowly increasing.

When he swept his divine sense over those fifteen gentle suns,

Taiqing was even more shocked. His entire body trembled, and he began dancing with excitement.

Those things high in the sky were not fifteen suns at all. They were clearly Fifteen Pangu Marrows!

No wonder Taiqing danced about, his body trembling from joy and excitement.

Anyone who encountered such a heaven-defying opportunity would react as Taiqing had.

Some might even fare worse than Taiqing.

"Th-this... this is too wonderful!

Father God, I simply love you to death! You truly did not forget us.

You arranged Pangu Marrow for all Fifteen Brothers.

Rest assured, Father God. Taiqing will definitely make sure my younger brothers and sisters cultivate diligently and protect the Primordial Wilderness you created."

Taiqing was overjoyed. That bout of pitiful pleading atop Buzhou Mountain had not been in vain.

Fifteen Pangu Marrows—Taiqing did not even need to think about it. These were surely one each for the Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Moreover, each living being could only absorb one Pangu Marrow. Absorbing a second would have no effect whatsoever.

Absorbing a second one would be nothing but wasteful.

"Father God, you are truly too great. You opened the Great Desolation World, transformed into all things in the Primordial Wilderness, and created the myriad races.

You have also cared deeply for us fifteen brothers and sisters.

Father God, Taiqing will certainly offer incense to you often in the future."
