Pangu's Affection

Zixiao Palace lay within endless chaos. Returning from Zixiao Palace to Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island was no easy task.

For ordinary cultivators, that distance alone would take a very long time to cross.

But for Sect Master Tongtian, who was already a Saint, such a journey was naturally nothing difficult.

Even so, that "nothing difficult" still took several days.

On the way back from the Thirty-Third Heaven to Jin'ao Island, Sect Master Tongtian continuously displayed his Law of Space, opening paths without pause. Finally, several days later, the outline of Jin'ao Island appeared before Qin Hong.

The moment he entered Jin'ao Island, Qin Hong went straight into the secluded chamber Sect Master Tongtian had long prepared for him.

As Sect Master Tongtian's son and the Young Sect Master of the Interception Sect, Qin Hong was clearly somewhat unworthy of his position at present.

There was no helping it. His strength was simply too weak. Having been sealed away for countless years, even though he was Sect Master Tongtian's son, his current cultivation was rather embarrassing.

Fortunately, the trip to Zixiao Palace had yielded tremendous gains, enough to raise Qin Hong's strength by several levels.

Sect Master Tongtian said nothing about Qin Hong's decision. Though he dearly loved his adorable son, he still had his principles when it came to cultivation.

Now that the Investiture of the Gods Calamity was about to officially unfold, Sect Master Tongtian was naturally happy to see Qin Hong increase his strength as quickly as possible.

Upon entering his secluded chamber, Qin Hong looked at the formations arranged around him and could not help smiling.

Sect Master Tongtian had directly used countless spirit stones to set up a grand spirit-gathering formation within Qin Hong's chamber. Sitting at its center, Qin Hong could clearly sense the dense spiritual energy, as though it were about to condense into liquid.

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

Though it was only a single drop of heart blood, its effects and the power contained within it were simply immeasurable.

After all, as the son of Sect Master Tongtian, one of the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Qin Hong's primordial spirit had been monstrously powerful since birth.

However, the Three Pure Ones had not achieved much when it came to physical bodies.

Throughout the primordial world, whenever physical strength was mentioned, people would undoubtedly think of the Ancestral Witches' bodies.

Formed from Pangu's essence blood, the physical bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches were unbelievably powerful. Ordinary cultivators relied on the strength and durability of their treasures in battle.

But the Ancestral Witches' physical bodies were comparable to Innate Spirit Treasures. One could only imagine how formidable they were.

Yet even such powerful Ancestral Witches were merely formed from Pangu's essence blood. Qin Hong, on the other hand, possessed a drop of Pangu's Heart Blood, which was even more precious and powerful than essence blood. If he refined it and fused it into himself, he might directly obtain a physical body no weaker than an Ancestral Witch's.

As for surpassing the Ancestral Witches, Qin Hong did not yet have such lofty ambitions.

After all, those Ancestral Witches' cultivation methods were simply insane.

They endured heavenly tribulations head-on and clashed directly with magical treasures!

Every so often, they would court death by confronting heavenly lightning and tempering themselves in divine fire.

Qin Hong did not consider himself crazy enough to use such life-risking cultivation methods at his current stage.

Besides, tempering one's physical body was not something that could be accomplished overnight. It required gradual accumulation over time.

What Qin Hong lacked most right now was time.

Looking at Pangu's Heart Blood quietly floating above his fingertip and sensing its rich vitality and power, Qin Hong smacked his lips.

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

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

"No, the power contained in this thing is way too ridiculous. If I can't handle it and explode to death, that would be utterly humiliating."

"Besides, even if I can endure it, it contains too much power. If I can't use it all up quickly and end up cultivating in seclusion here for tens of thousands of years..."

"By then, the Investiture of the Gods Calamity will already be over, and Dad will be finished!"

"Wouldn't that leave me all alone?"

"No, no. I should put it aside for now!"

Qin Hong considered it for a while before ultimately putting Pangu's Heart Blood back into the system.

"I should use this cultivation first. It will just sit there otherwise, and it's safer than the heart blood anyway!"

He acted as soon as he decided.

Qin Hong directly commanded the system:

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

Boom!

Following Qin Hong's command, five enormous characters materialized above his head.

"Pangu's Affection!"

The instant the five characters appeared, the spirit-gathering formation around Qin Hong immediately lost control. All the spiritual energy surged toward him as though it cost nothing.

That was not enough. Jin'ao Island, the entire Eastern Sea, and the whole primordial world were thrown into upheaval. Countless streams of spiritual energy gathered around Jin'ao Island. Even in the west, where spirit veins were damaged and spiritual energy had run dry, countless streams of spiritual energy rushed toward Jin'ao Island before the tearful eyes of the two Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin.

Pangu's Affection: As its name implied, the entire primordial world had been created by Pangu, and Pangu was the creator of the primordial world. With Pangu's Affection above Qin Hong's head, it could, in a sense, be understood that Qin Hong was Pangu's designated successor.

Under such circumstances, all spiritual energy naturally went berserk.

However, Qin Hong had already immersed himself in cultivation and had no idea that such an enormous event was unfolding because of him.

If he had known, Qin Hong would definitely have exclaimed that he had thought Pangu's Heart Blood was the main prize. Who would have expected it to be merely a supporting reward? The title Pangu's Affection was the true supreme reward.

Within the secluded chamber, Qin Hong kept his eyes tightly shut, continuously absorbing spiritual energy into his body while fusing the cultivation rewarded by the system.

With such powerful energy pouring into him, Qin Hong's cultivation speed soared as though he were riding a rocket.

As Tongtian's son, Qin Hong possessed top-grade foundations and talent. The moment he emerged from his seal, he was already at the mid-stage Golden Immortal realm.

Now, his cultivation rose even faster!

It was like playing a game with invincibility, wallhacks, and auto-aim enabled—absurdly overpowered.

Mid-stage Golden Immortal, perfected...

Initial late-stage Golden Immortal...

Mid-stage late-stage Golden Immortal...

Late-stage Golden Immortal, perfected...

Boom!

Crackling sounds rang out from within Qin Hong's body, and with them came a direct rise in his entire aura by several levels.

Initial early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal...

Under the title Pangu's Affection, combined with the abundant cultivation stored in the system and the upheaval of spiritual energy throughout the primordial world, Qin Hong broke through the Golden Immortal realm in one stroke and entered the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

"Is this... what it feels like to be a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?"

Qin Hong opened his eyes and felt the vast power within his body. Light flickered in his eyes, while countless gleaming Dao rhythms flowed around him. He could not help speaking.

The cultivation rewarded by the system was truly incredible. It had directly brought Qin Hong to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

"Now that my realm has risen, I shouldn't have to worry about being burst apart by the immense power in Pangu's Heart Blood, right?"
