Luohu, Hongjun Emerge, Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin Fourth Heaven

In a courtyard off to one side of the main hall, Hong Yuan invited Yang Mei to take a seat.

Once the two were seated, a group of child attendants, observing proper etiquette, slowly brought over freshly picked spiritual fruits and spirit tea.

After setting them down, the attendants quietly withdrew.

Thus, only Hong Yuan and Yang Mei remained in the courtyard.

Hong Yuan poured Yang Mei a cup of tea and said with calm elegance, "Daoist friend, try this Heavenly Mulberry Tea of mine."

The ten Chaos Spiritual Roots Hong Yuan had obtained were:

the 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 the Nine Purity First Fruit Tree.

Each of the Ten Spiritual Roots had its own marvelous uses.

Among them, the Heavenly Mulberry Tea was brewed from the leaves of the Heavenly Mulberry Divine Tree.

A single cup of this tea was enough to allow a being with an Acquired foundation to successfully transform into one with an Innate foundation.

It could also save a Golden Immortal of the Origin the effort of several Yuan Hui.

Even for a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, it was extremely useful.

Yang Mei looked at the Heavenly Mulberry Tea before him, picked it up, and sniffed it.

He let out a sigh of admiration.

"Truly fine tea!"

With that, Yang Mei took a sip.

The moment he drank, his eyes lit up.

He actually felt his own origin essence strengthen by a trace.

Though it was only a trace, it was enough to save him countless eons of time.

Without further hesitation, Yang Mei drained the cup of spirit tea in one gulp.

"As expected of an Ultimate Chaos Spiritual Root—even in the Chaos, such things are rare. Just a single cup of tea has allowed this old Daoist's origin to recover a little. If the beings of the Primordial Wilderness learned of this, they would likely come knocking one after another. Even this old Daoist finds it hard to resist this temptation." Yang Mei shook his head with a wry smile.

Hearing this, Hong Yuan didn't take it to heart. He didn't rob others; if they dared to rob him, he wondered how many lives they had to spare?

He simply smiled and said to Yang Mei, "Since it's useful, Daoist friend, feel free to drink more. I certainly can't give you the tree, but you're welcome to help yourself to the tea and fruit! Over the years, I've managed to stockpile a bit."

At Hong Yuan's words, Yang Mei tried hard to appear unruffled.

But the excitement in his heart still showed on his face.

"Thank you for your generosity, Daoist friend!"

Hong Yuan waved a hand casually. "It's nothing!"

In the blink of an eye, another Kalpa passed.

Within Mount Sumeru, Luohu, seated cross-legged on the Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus Platform, suddenly opened his eyes.

Torrential demonic aura surged out from within him.

"It is time."

With that, Luohu lifted his head slightly to look upward.

His expression was neither sorrowful nor joyful, impossible to read.

"In the past, the Demon Demon God; today, the Daoist Luohu, after endless ages, has finally attained perfection. On this day, I emerge into the world. I beseech the Great Dao to bear witness!"

The next moment, a grand Daoist voice, audible only to Luohu, resounded in his mind.

"Granted."

Hearing this voice, Luohu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were any other living being, they might not need the Great Dao's permission to emerge.

But they, the Chaos Demon Gods bearing memories of a past life, were different.

This declaration was also to inform the Great Dao.

The former master of the Law of Demons was no more; what remained was only the Daoist Luohu, making a clean break with his former self.

Only then could he truly integrate into the Primordial Wilderness.

Rather than remain an outsider.

At this moment, Luohu finally felt himself truly merge with the Primordial Wilderness.

Though they had been safe and sound before, they had always felt a faint, intangible rejection from the Primordial Wilderness.

And as the Heavenly Dao, born from the evolution of the Primordial Wilderness, manifested, this feeling of rejection would likely grow stronger.

For the sake of the future, Luohu had to draw a line between himself and his previous incarnation.

The same was true for Luohu, as well as for Causality and the Five Elements.

They too, upon emerging into the world, immediately proclaimed to the Great Dao.

They drew a clear line between this life and the previous one.

Their cultivation levels were all at the peak of the Golden Immortal of the Origin, just like Yang Mei when he first emerged.

But these people shared one thing in common: every single one of them who had now emerged had once debated the Dao with Hong Yuan.

Meanwhile, in a certain corner of the Primordial Wilderness, Hongjun, with fragments of the Jade Plate of Creation hovering above his head, wore a rather grim expression.

"Damn it, why are these people emerging earlier than This Seat?"

Hongjun simply could not understand. He clearly possessed fragments of the Jade Plate of Creation.

So why were Causality, Luohu, and the others still emerging ahead of him?

Based on his earlier deductions, he should have been the first to emerge.

At this moment, Hongjun was also quite conflicted.

He did not know whether he should emerge now or not.

His current cultivation was still some distance from the peak of the Golden Immortal of the Origin.

If possible, he would still prefer to first raise his cultivation to the peak of the Golden Immortal of the Origin before emerging.

But the problem was that Luohu and the others had already emerged.

He had no idea whether these people possessed fragments of the Jade Plate of Creation.

If they did, then things would be bad for him.

Because he too held a small fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation.

Through the Jade Plate of Creation, he could sense other fragments of the Jade Plate of Creation within a certain range.

If you find this book enjoyable, to avoid losing it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.

After all, the complete Jade Plate of Creation was a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

He did not want to miss this opportunity.

After hesitating for a while, Hongjun gritted his teeth and made a decision.

He would emerge!

If his realm was insufficient, he could still catch up, but if an opportunity vanished, it would truly be gone forever.

Moreover, the Primordial Wilderness was so vast that he should not encounter any danger.

And so, on that day, Hongjun finally emerged.

In the following period, one after another, figures emerged into the Primordial Wilderness.

Nearly ninety percent of these people were incarnations of the original essences of Chaos Demon Gods.

Only a small portion were evolved from the heavens and earth of the Primordial Wilderness.

These people had varying levels of cultivation, but even the weakest among them had reached the Golden Immortal of the Origin realm.

If one were to rank the strength of these people in the Primordial Wilderness right now, then Luohu and Causality could be considered the top tier.

Meanwhile, Qiankun, Five Elements, Hun Peng, and Creation were slightly weaker than those two.

And below them were Hongjun, Yin Yang, Destiny, Reincarnation, and the others.

Of course, Hong Yuan and Yang Mei were not included in this ranking.

As for the other Chaos Demon Gods, because their original essences had been divided too many times, they had not retained their memories.

Unless they could recover a greater portion of their original essences, they might have that possibility.

With the emergence of All Beings, the Primordial Wilderness suddenly gained a trace of vitality.

Moreover, the number of living beings continued to increase with time.

Meanwhile, within the Hong Yuan Realm, Hong Yuan and Yang Mei had finally stopped cultivating.

At this point, Yang Mei had already reached the late stage of the Golden Immortal of the Origin.

His progress was undeniably fast.

If not for Hong Yuan, he would now be the number one person in the Primordial Wilderness.

As for Hong Yuan, he was even more outrageous, directly advancing from the Second Heaven of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to the Fourth Heaven of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Do not be fooled by the mere two heavens.

One must understand that within the realm of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, every single heaven's advancement made one a completely different person.

Even back in the Chaos, none of the Chaos Demon Gods dared to claim they could advance one heaven within a single Kalpa.

From this, one can imagine just how absurd Hong Yuan's advancement truly was.

And this was merely in terms of cultivation; if it came to an actual fight, even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin at the sixth level might not necessarily be a match for Hong Yuan.

After all, within Hong Yuan's body, the number of Great Dao Laws was simply too vast.

As of now, Hong Yuan possessed a full three hundred and fifty Great Dao Laws within him.

Among them, over twenty had already reached the realm of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

This was all thanks to the ten Chaos Spiritual Roots planted outside and the blessing of the Hong Yuan Hall, which allowed his cultivation to advance so rapidly.

Yang Mei had originally been quite pleased with his own improvement, but after seeing Hong Yuan's progress, he was left speechless.

After a long while, Yang Mei sighed and said, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on your great increase in cultivation!"

In his heart, he also lamented that the karmic debt incurred this time was far too heavy.

He estimated that for many years to come, he would be repaying this Causality.

Facing Yang Mei's congratulations, Hong Yuan waved his hand and replied, "Joy to us both!"

With that, a hint of playfulness crept onto Hong Yuan's face: "The Primordial Wilderness has already grown lively. Since we have both broken through, let us go out and have some fun."

"That works too. This old Daoist is also curious about how many old friends remain in the Primordial Wilderness besides Causality and the others."

With that said, the two of them directly departed from the Hong Yuan Realm.

But this time, Hong Yuan did not have the exit appear within Zhou Mountain.

Instead, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

It was only then that Yang Mei realized the exit of the Hong Yuan Realm was actually at the base of Zhou Mountain.

Not much time had passed since Pangu's creation of the world.

The overwhelming pressure within Zhou Mountain had naturally not diminished much.

Feeling the immense weight upon him, Yang Mei was filled with mixed emotions.

"As expected of Fellow Daoist Pangu. Even the mere remnant of his might sends chills down this old Daoist's spine."

Hong Yuan did not respond, instead observing the current state of the Primordial Wilderness.

The Primordial Wilderness now was vastly different from before he entered seclusion.

When he had traveled through it earlier, there was not a single living being outside.

But now, within the range of Zhou Mountain alone, he had discovered no fewer than tens of thousands of living beings.

Among them, heavenly treasures and spiritual artifacts were countless.

In the future, some precious spiritual herbs and fruits were now left lying by the roadside, untouched by anyone.

After all, the spiritual energy was now so dense that countless such herbs and fruits could grow every day.

They were hardly any different from weeds.

And the sudden appearance of Hong Yuan and Yang Mei at the foot of Zhou Mountain was noticed by some living beings.

Though they did not know exactly who the two were, they understood that these were not people they could provoke.

Because they could not see through either of them at all.

It was as if they were shrouded in a thick fog.

Some of the smarter ones turned and fled immediately.

But there was still one who was not so clever and directly approached them.

"Who are you people, daring to appear here? Do you not know that this is the territory of this old ancestor?"
