Time flowed unnoticed in the Primordial Wilderness as a Huiyuan Era quietly passed.
Qing Huan set out on the road to the Eastern Sea.
Along the way, with keen treasure-seeking instincts, he swept all the Spiritual Roots and Precious Medicines he encountered into his possession, not even letting Acquired Spiritual Roots slip by.
After all, once the Witch-Demon Calamity was over, Spiritual Roots and Precious Medicines would inevitably become scarce goods.
Among the Demon Race's countless trillions of beings, which one didn't need Spiritual Roots and Precious Medicines to cultivate?
Though the Primordial Wilderness was vast and boundless, it couldn't withstand such consumption; there would always come a day when it was scraped clean.
Of course, Qing Huan wasn't simply plundering these resources for himself—he would surely give back to the Primordial Wilderness in the future. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Dao came to settle accounts, the loss would far outweigh the gain.
In the process of collecting Spiritual Roots and Precious Medicines, Qing Huan also encountered quite a few amusing incidents.
Once, he discovered a spiritual herb hidden deep within a valley, surrounded by layers upon layers of grand formations, clearly guarded by some unknown being.
Qing Huan offered up the Xuanhuang Seal, and with a single strike, he shattered that seemingly impressive formation, successfully claiming the herb.
Finally, Qing Huan arrived at the shore of the Eastern Sea.
Before him, the boundless Eastern Sea stretched in majestic waves, towering ten thousand zhang high, crashing against the coastal reefs and splashing up layers of snow-white foam.
The sea wind howled past, carrying a salty, damp scent.
Gazing at the vast, endless ocean, Qing Huan suddenly recalled that hidden within this Eastern Sea were five immortal islands, their quality a full tier above even the top-tier Blessed Lands.
Only one, Penglai Immortal Island, had ever been discovered, and that was when East Prince founded the Immortal Court.
As for the other four islands—Yingzhou, Fangzhang, Daiyu, and Yuanjiao—they were like treasures shrouded in mist, still mysteries because no fated one had found them.
"Tsk, if only I could be lucky enough to find one," Qing Huan murmured to himself, a glint of longing shining in his eyes.
"After all, these immortal islands were formed from fragments of Chaos; each island itself is a top-tier great thousand world. The unsurfaced Innate Spiritual Roots and Spiritual Treasures on them are all... ah!
It seems that after Hongjun's second lecture at Purple Firmament Palace, I'll have to follow East Prince and see if I can seize Penglai Immortal Island ahead of time.
If I could own one island, I could give up Zhongnan Mountain Jade Pillar Cave.
Zhongnan Mountain is fine, but it can't escape the fate of heaven-cracking and earth-shattering in the future, when Innate Spiritual Qi turns into Acquired Spiritual Qi.
These five immortal islands are different—they exist alone within the space of the Eastern Sea, forming their own great thousand worlds, unaffected by the changes of the outside world."
Just as Qing Huan was lost in thought, from a mountain peak on the shore of the Eastern Sea, a wild burst of laughter suddenly rang out, accompanied by a flash of golden light.
"Ahahahahaha! I, Ye Lingtian, have finally reached the late stage of the Golden Immortal of the Origin! System, check in."
["Ding" Congratulations to the host for reaching the initial first stage, first level, first tier, early first rank of the Golden Immortal of the Origin's peak great perfection. This system specially rewards:
Host Ye Lingtian: Primordial Sacred Sword, Hongmeng Supreme Treasure; Sky-Supporting Cudgel, Hongmeng Supreme Treasure; Hongmeng Pearl, Hongmeng Supreme Treasure; Hongmeng Supreme Treasure, Primordial Sacred Sword.
Hongmeng-level Great Dao cultivation art, Creation Art; one Pangu Essence; twelve drops of Pangu's Essence Blood; one Pangu Marrow; one Pangu Heart; one Pangu Kidney; ten strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi; and a jade talisman containing an attack power surpassing Pangu's peak strike, capable of directly slaying Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, including Hongmeng Divine Luo Golden Immortals above Pangu's realm.]
"Sigh! The system's output is truly top-notch. One-click claim." Ye Lingtian held these treasures in hand, his spirits soaring, a powerful aura radiating from his whole body, as if he could look down on the world.
"It seems I won't need long to beat Hongjun and kick the Heavenly Dao. Then This Seat will pass down the method of Dao Proving through Laws for all living beings to achieve the Origin. At that time, the countless trillions of beings in the Primordial Wilderness can all prove the Origin.
Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao's damn Three Corpses Method is nothing but poison to the countless trillions of beings in the Primordial Wilderness.
Clearly, all living beings could cultivate the Origin and all become Hunyuan Limitless Grand Unity Golden Immortals, but this dead earthworm suppresses every living being in the Primordial Wilderness.
The three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man in this Primordial Wilderness should unite, requiring at least twenty-seven Sages. Yet only six are Heaven-ordained—how utterly ridiculous.
Little do they know that only when the three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man unite is the Primordial Wilderness complete.
That bastard Hongjun, for his own selfish desires, has turned the Primordial Wilderness into a land of suffering, plotting all kinds of Calamities and Heavenly Tribulations, utterly unworthy of being called a son of man. He even suppresses the Dao of Earth and the Dao of Humanity from awakening, directly crushing them—his crimes are unforgivable."
The worst was scheming Old Ancestor Hong Yun to death, scheming the Witch and Demon Races to mutual destruction, scheming the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors into being trapped in Fire Cloud Cave, scheming the last Human Emperor out of existence, scheming Houtu into eternal reincarnation, and scheming the annihilation of the ten thousand immortals of the Jie Sect.
The Jie Sect truly cared for the living beings of the Primordial Wilderness, and yet they were schemed out of existence like this—ah!
Sect Master Tongtian cherished the common people of the Primordial Wilderness, but unfortunately, he was schemed into swallowing the Saint-Slaying Pill...
Ye Lingtian stood within the mountain peak, overjoyed, talking to himself, his face full of disdain and mockery.
He picked up the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure in his hand, feeling the immense power contained within, as if at this moment he could face Hongjun head-on, his combat power rivaling the Heavenly Dao, or even beating Pangu with ease.
At the shore of the Eastern Sea, Qing Huan keenly sensed a powerful aura surging from a mountain peak, accompanied by a burst of laughter. The fluctuation of this aura seemed to have just broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, instantly piquing his interest.
With a single thought, he arrived at the mountain's summit in an instant. There on the slope stood an Innate Lifeform, his face wild with joy, occasionally letting out bouts of foolish laughter.
"This person... is he mentally ill? Laughing like an idiot nonstop?"
At this moment, Qing Huan was utterly baffled.
"Who dares to spy on This Seat?"
Ye Lingtian suddenly looked in Qing Huan's direction, his eyes wide open, his face full of disdain and mockery, the corners of his mouth curling into a contemptuous smile, as if the Qing Huan before him was nothing but an insignificant ant.
"Young friend, what matter has brought you such joy? Why not share it so I can be happy too."
Qing Huan plopped down on a large green stone, a teasing look in his eyes as he watched Ye Lingtian below.
In his eyes, this mere Golden Immortal before him, daring to look at him with such a contemptuous gaze, was truly courting death—he already had a path to doom.
Ye Lingtian radiated a terrifying aura of law and dao resonance as he flew directly before Qing Huan, standing aloft in the void.
"A mere ant—This Seat truly admires your courage. A paltry Great Unity Golden Immortal dares to provoke a Golden Immortal of the Origin? How utterly blind to your own limits."
Ye Lingtian naturally saw through Qing Huan's cultivation at a glance, his tone dripping with contempt.
"Oh?"
Qing Huan paused, sinking into brief thought.
"That's it? And he calls himself a Golden Immortal of the Origin?"
But in an instant, something seemed to click, and he speculated inwardly:
"This guy's probably a transmigrator, isn't he! And he claims to be a Golden Immortal of the Origin...
He must have transmigrated into a fragment of the Primordial Wilderness inside some top-tier great thousand world.
In these low-martial Primordial Wilderness great thousand worlds, you can reach Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin in almost ten thousand years...
Even without a system, you can break through to Hunyuan Limitless Grand Unity Golden Immortal, usually within no more than ten Kalpas.
When Pangu split Heaven, he didn't just create the Primordial Wilderness—he also opened countless great thousand worlds of the Primordial Wilderness, along with billions upon trillions upon quadrillions of worlds...
Things like the Milky Way universe, infinite multiverses, omniverses, Level 10 civilization universes, divine-grade universes, the Three Thousand Cosmic Seas...
Aren't all of these just specks of dust in the Chaos? And they all revolve around the Solar Star."
"Pfft—hahahaha."
Qing Huan couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
"This kid most likely has some so-called system on him.
In a great thousand world like this, a Great Unity Golden Immortal could create who knows how many with a single thought... including his side's Heavenly Dao, Great Dao, and cosmic system."
