Inside a courtyard to one side of the main hall.
Hong Yuan invited Yang Mei to take a seat.
Once the two were seated, a group of attendants slowly brought over the freshly picked Spiritual Fruits and Spirit Tea with great ceremony.
After setting them down, the attendants slowly withdrew.
At that point, only Hong Yuan and Yang Mei remained in the courtyard.
Hong Yuan poured Yang Mei a cup of tea and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, try my Heavenly Mulberry Tea."
The ten Chaos Spiritual Roots Hong Yuan had obtained were:
Heavenly Mulberry Divine Tree, Immortal Nurturing Wood, Seven Star Universe Tree, Spirit Candle Fruit Tree, Falling Flower Immortal Fruit Tree, Flowing Splendor Square Leaf, Creation Red Lotus, Green Grain Fragrant Flower, Dark Truth Tree, and Nine Purity First Fruit Tree.
Each of the Ten Spiritual Roots had its own wondrous uses.
Among them, Heavenly Mulberry Tea was brewed from the leaves of the Heavenly Mulberry Divine Tree.
A single cup of tea was enough to allow a living being with an acquired foundation to transform into one with an innate foundation.
It could even save a Primordial Origin Golden Immortal several Yuan Hui of cultivation.
Even to a Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, it was extraordinarily useful.
Yang Mei looked at the Heavenly Mulberry Tea before him and picked it up to take a sniff.
He sighed with feeling.
"What excellent tea!"
With that, Yang Mei took a sip.
The moment he drank it, Yang Mei's eyes lit up.
He actually felt his origin grow slightly stronger.
Though it was only the slightest bit, it was enough to save him an immeasurable amount of time.
Yang Mei no longer hesitated and drank the Spirit Tea in his cup in one gulp.
"As expected of an Ultimate Chaos Spiritual Root. Even in Chaos, such a thing is exceedingly rare. Just one cup of tea has restored a little of this old Daoist's origin. If those people in the Primordial Wilderness learned of it, they would surely come knocking one after another. Even this old Daoist can barely resist such temptation." Yang Mei shook his head with a helpless smile.
Hong Yuan did not take his words to heart. It was already fortunate enough if he did not rob others—did they dare rob him?
Who knew how many lives they had to spare?
He merely smiled and said to Yang Mei, "Since it is useful, Fellow Daoist may as well drink more. I certainly cannot give you the tree, but you may eat these tea fruits as you please. After all, quite a few have accumulated over the years."
Hearing Hong Yuan's words, Yang Mei wanted to keep himself from appearing too excited.
Yet the excitement in his heart still showed on his face.
"Many thanks for Fellow Daoist's generosity!"
Hong Yuan waved a hand casually. "No need!"
In the blink of an eye, another Kalpa passed.
On Mount Sumeru, Luohu, who was seated cross-legged upon the Lotus Platform of the Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, suddenly opened his eyes.
Overwhelming demonic energy poured forth from his body.
"It is time!"
After speaking, Luohu tilted his head slightly upward and looked into the sky.
His expression was neither joyous nor sorrowful, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.
"Once the Demon God of the Law of Demons, now Daoist Luohu has endured endless years and finally attained perfection! Today, I am born into the world. May the Great Dao bear witness!"
The next second, a majestic Dao voice that only Luohu could hear resounded in his mind.
"Granted."
Only upon hearing that voice did Luohu finally let out a breath of relief.
Other living beings might not need the Great Dao's approval when they were born.
But Chaos Demon Gods like them, who carried memories from their past lives, were different.
This declaration was also meant to inform the Great Dao.
The former master of the Law of Demons no longer existed. All that remained was Daoist Luohu, who was also drawing a clear line between himself and his former self.
Only then could he truly merge into the Primordial Wilderness.
Rather than remain an outsider.
Only then did Luohu feel that he had truly integrated into the Primordial Wilderness.
Although they had been safe before, they could always faintly sense the Primordial Wilderness rejecting them.
Moreover, as the Heavenly Dao born from the evolution of the Primordial Wilderness revealed itself, that rejection would likely grow ever stronger.
For the sake of the future, Luohu had to sever himself from his previous life.
Causality, Five Elements, and the others were the same as Luohu.
The moment they were born, they declared themselves to the Great Dao.
They drew a distinction between this life and their previous ones.
Their cultivation was the same as Yang Mei's when he had first been born, at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
Yet they all shared one thing in common: every one of those who had already been born had previously discussed the Dao with Hong Yuan.
Elsewhere in the Primordial Wilderness, Hongjun, with a fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation floating above his head, wore an extremely unsightly expression.
"Damn it! How were these people born before this venerable one?"
Hongjun truly could not understand it. He clearly possessed a fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation.
So why had Causality, Luohu, and the others still been born before him?
According to his previous calculations, he should have been the first to be born.
At this moment, Hongjun was also deeply conflicted.
He did not know whether he should be born now.
His cultivation was still some distance away from the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
If possible, he still wanted to raise his cultivation to the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm before being born.
But the problem was that Luohu and the others had already been born.
He did not know whether these people possessed fragments of the Jade Plate of Creation.
If they did, then things would be troublesome for him.
After all, he also possessed a small fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation.
Through the Jade Plate of Creation, he could sense the presence of other fragments within a certain range.
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you do not lose it next time.
One had to know that the complete Jade Plate of Creation was a Chaos Supreme Treasure.
He did not want to miss this opportunity.
After hesitating for some time, Hongjun gritted his teeth and made a decision.
He would be born!
A deficient realm could still be caught up, but once an opportunity vanished, it was truly gone.
Besides, the Primordial Wilderness was so vast that he likely would not encounter any danger.
Thus, on this day, Hongjun was finally born as well.
Over the next period of time, more and more figures emerged throughout the Primordial Wilderness.
Nearly ninety percent of them were formed from the origins of Chaos Demon Gods.
Only a small portion had evolved from the heaven and earth of the Primordial Wilderness.
Their cultivation levels varied, but even the weakest among them possessed the realm of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
If the strength of those currently in the Primordial Wilderness were ranked,
Then Luohu and Causality would belong to the first tier.
Qiankun, Five Elements, Hun Peng, and Creation were slightly weaker than those two.
Below them came Hongjun, Yin Yang, Destiny, Reincarnation, and the others.
Naturally, this did not include Hong Yuan and Yang Mei.
As for the remaining Chaos Demon Gods, their origins had split too greatly, and they had not retained their memories at all.
Perhaps they would only have a chance to recover those memories once they regained more of their origins.
As all these living beings were born,
The Primordial Wilderness gradually gained a trace of vitality.
And the number of living beings continued to increase over time.
Within the Hong Yuan Realm,
Hong Yuan and Yang Mei finally stopped cultivating.
Yang Mei had now reached the late stage of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm.
His progress could not be called anything but rapid.
If not for Hong Yuan, he would now have been the strongest person in the Primordial Wilderness.
But Hong Yuan was even more outrageous, advancing directly from the Second Heaven of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to the Fourth Heaven of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal.
Do not be fooled by the mere difference of two heavens.
At the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm, every advance of one heaven was like the difference between two entirely different people.
Even back in Chaos, the Chaos Demon Gods had not dared claim that they could advance a single heaven within one Kalpa.
One could imagine just how outrageous Hong Yuan's improvement was.
And this was only his cultivation. If he truly fought, even a Sixth Heaven Primordial Origin Golden Immortal might not necessarily be his match.
After all, the number of Great Dao Laws within Hong Yuan's body was simply too enormous.
The current Hong Yuan possessed a full three hundred and fifty Great Dao Laws within his body.
More than twenty of them had already reached the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm.
This was all thanks to the Ten Chaos Spiritual Roots planted outside and the enhancement of Hong Yuan Hall, allowing his cultivation to advance so quickly.
Yang Mei had initially been delighted by his own improvement, but after seeing Hong Yuan's progress, he was left speechless.
After a long while, Yang Mei finally sighed and said, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, on your greatly improved cultivation!"
He also sighed inwardly. The karma he owed this time was far too great.
For quite some years to come, he would likely have to repay this karma.
Facing Yang Mei's congratulations, Hong Yuan merely waved a hand and said, "The same to you!"
After speaking, a hint of amusement appeared on Hong Yuan's face. "The Primordial Wilderness has already grown lively. Now that we have broken through, let us go out and have some fun."
"Very well. This old Daoist is also quite curious how many old friends there are in the Primordial Wilderness besides Causality and the others."
With that, the two directly left the Hong Yuan Realm.
But this time, Hong Yuan did not have the exit appear within Zhou Mountain.
Instead, they emerged at the foot of the mountain.
Only then did Yang Mei discover that the exit to the Hong Yuan Realm was actually located at the foot of Zhou Mountain.
Not much time had passed since Pangu split open the heavens.
Naturally, the immense pressure of Zhou Mountain had not diminished much.
Feeling that vast pressure upon his body, Yang Mei was filled with emotion.
"As expected of Fellow Daoist Pangu. Merely the lingering might he left behind is enough to make this old Daoist's scalp tingle."
Hong Yuan did not respond, instead observing the current state of the Primordial Wilderness.
The Primordial Wilderness had changed enormously compared to before he entered seclusion.
When he had previously traveled through the Primordial Wilderness, there had not been a single living being outside.
But now, within the range of Zhou Mountain alone,
He discovered no fewer than tens of thousands of living beings.
There were also countless heaven-and-earth spiritual treasures.
In the future, some precious spiritual herbs and Spiritual Fruits would be left by the roadside without anyone bothering to pick them up.
After all, spiritual energy was currently so dense that countless such spiritual herbs and Spiritual Fruits grew every day.
They were practically no different from weeds.
Hong Yuan and Yang Mei, who had suddenly appeared at the foot of Zhou Mountain, were also noticed by some living beings.
Though they did not know who the two were,
They knew these two were not people they could afford to provoke.
Because they could not see through either of them.
It was as though the two were shrouded in mist.
Some of the cleverer ones turned and fled at once.
But one not-so-clever fellow still walked straight up to them.
"Who are you? How dare you appear here? Do you not know this is this ancestor's territory?"
If you cannot find it by searching the book title, try searching the author instead. It may simply have been renamed!
