Pangu's Affection

Zixiao Palace is located in the endless chaos, and it's not an easy feat to travel back to Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island from there.

For an ordinary cultivator, just covering this distance would take a long time.

However, for Sect Master Tongtian, who was already a Saint, this short journey was naturally a piece of cake.

That being said, even this "piece of cake" took several days.

Returning to Jin'ao Island from the thirty-third heaven, Sect Master Tongtian had been constantly demonstrating his mastery of spatial laws, forging a path as they went. Finally, after a few days, the outline of Jin'ao Island appeared before Qin Hong.

As soon as they entered Jin'ao Island, Qin Hong went straight into the secret chamber that Sect Master Tongtian had already prepared for him.

As the son of Sect Master Tongtian and the young master of the Sect of Interception, Qin Hong was clearly not yet worthy of his position.

It couldn't be helped; his strength was too weak, having been sealed for countless eons. Even with his lineage as Sect Master Tongtian's son, his current strength was embarrassingly low.

Fortunately, his trip to Zixiao Palace this time had been incredibly fruitful, enough to elevate Qin Hong's strength by several levels.

Sect Master Tongtian didn't say anything about Qin Hong's situation. While he doted on his beloved son, he had his principles when it came to cultivation.

With the Investiture of the Gods Calamity about to officially begin, Sect Master Tongtian was eager to see Qin Hong's strength increase as quickly as possible.

Arriving in his secret chamber, Qin Hong couldn't help but smile as he looked at the formations arranged around him.

Sect Master Tongtian had personally set up a spirit gathering formation in Qin Hong's chamber using countless spirit stones. Standing at the center of the formation, Qin Hong could clearly feel the density of the spiritual energy, almost to the point of becoming liquid.

Sitting cross-legged in the center of the spirit gathering formation, Qin Hong directly took out the Pangu's Heart Blood he had obtained earlier.

Even though it was just a single drop of heart blood, its utility and the power it contained were immeasurable.

After all, as the son of Sect Master Tongtian, one of the Three Pure Ones who achieved their forms from a single source, Qin Hong's primordial spirit was naturally incredibly powerful.

However, the Three Pure Ones hadn't made significant advancements in terms of physical bodies.

When it came to powerful physiques in the entire Primordial Era, people would invariably mention the Ancestor Witches.

Born from Pangu's essence blood, the twelve Ancestor Witches possessed incredibly heaven-defying physiques. Ordinary cultivators relied on the strength and durability of their treasures in battle.

But these Ancestor Witches, with bodies comparable to Innate Spirit Treasures, could be imagined to be incredibly formidable.

Yet, these powerful Ancestor Witches were merely formed from Pangu's essence blood. Qin Hong, on the other hand, held a drop of Pangu's Heart Blood, which was even more precious and powerful than essence blood. If he could refine and integrate it into himself, he might be able to directly possess a physique no less powerful than that of an Ancestor Witch.

As for surpassing the Ancestor Witches, Qin Hong didn't have such grand ambitions yet.

After all, the cultivation methods of those Ancestor Witches were truly incredible.

They could withstand heavenly tribulations and clash with magical artifacts!

From time to time, they would court death, colliding with heavenly lightning and tempering themselves in divine flames.

Qin Hong felt that he wasn't as insane as them to adopt such life-risking cultivation methods at the moment.

Besides, tempering the physical body wasn't something that could be achieved overnight; it required accumulation over time.

What Qin Hong lacked the most right now was time.

Looking at the Pangu's Heart Blood floating quietly at his fingertip, feeling its dense blood energy and power, Qin Hong licked his lips.

With a thought, Qin Hong was about to swallow the heart blood.

Just as it was about to enter his mouth, he abruptly stopped.

"No, the power contained within this thing is too monstrous. If I can't handle it and explode, that would be truly embarrassing."

"And even if I could withstand it, the power contained within is too immense. If I can't use it all up quickly, I'd be stuck in seclusion for tens of thousands of years."

"By then, the Investiture of the Gods Calamity would have ended, and my old man would be gone!"

"Wouldn't that leave me all alone?"

"No, no, it's better to put it aside for now!"

After considering for a while, Qin Hong finally put the Pangu's Heart Blood back into the system.

"I'll use these cultivation points first. They're just sitting here anyway, and they're more conservative than this heart blood!"

No sooner said than done.

Qin Hong directly commanded the system:

"Use the 'Pangu's Affection' title and merge all rewarded cultivation!"

BOOM!

As Qin Hong's command was issued, five large characters materialized above his head.

"Pangu's Affection!"

The moment the five characters appeared, the spirit gathering formation beside Qin Hong instantly went out of control, and all the spiritual energy surged towards Qin Hong as if it were free.

As if that wasn't enough, the entire Jin'ao Island, the entire East Sea, and the entire Primordial Era were shaken. Countless spiritual energies converged with Jin'ao Island at the center. Even in the West, where spiritual veins were damaged and spiritual energy was depleted, a vast amount of spiritual energy surged towards Jin'ao Island, much to the tearful dismay of the two Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin.

Pangu's Affection: As the name suggests, the entire Primordial Era was created by Pangu; Pangu is the creator of the Primordial Era. With Qin Hong bearing the title "Pangu's Affection," it can be understood in a certain sense that Qin Hong is Pangu's designated successor.

Under such circumstances, it was natural for all the spiritual energy to surge.

However, Qin Hong was currently immersed in his cultivation and was completely unaware of the momentous events unfolding around him.

If Qin Hong had known, he would have exclaimed in surprise. He originally thought Pangu's Heart Blood was the main prize, but he never expected it to be merely a supporting act. This title, Pangu's Affection, was the true, supreme reward.

In the secret chamber, Qin Hong's eyes were tightly shut as he continuously absorbed spiritual energy into his body, integrating the cultivation base rewarded by the system.

Under the infusion of immense power, Qin Hong's cultivation speed was now soaring like a rocket.

As Sect Master Tongtian's son, Qin Hong's origins and talent were both top-tier. He was already at the mid-stage Golden Immortal realm right after emerging from his seal.

Now, his cultivation was increasing at an astonishing rate!

It was as if he had activated god mode in a game, with infinite health, wallhacks, and aimbot – incredibly powerful.

Mid-stage Golden Immortal, perfected...

Early-stage late Golden Immortal...

Mid-stage late Golden Immortal...

Late-stage Golden Immortal, perfected...

Boom!

A crackling sound erupted from within Qin Hong's body, and with it, his entire aura ascended several levels.

Early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal...

Under the title of Pangu's Affection, coupled with the abundant cultivation from the system and the surging spiritual energy throughout the Primordial Era, Qin Hong had broken through the Golden Immortal realm and entered the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.

"This... is what it feels like to be a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?"

Qin Hong opened his eyes, sensing the boundless power within him. Light flickered in his eyes, and countless streams of Daoist charm flowed around him. He couldn't help but speak.

The cultivation rewarded by the system was indeed potent, directly propelling Qin Hong to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

"Now that my realm has advanced, I shouldn't have to worry about being overloaded by the immense power of Pangu's Heart Blood!"
