Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, First Qilin Emerge

What Hong Yuan brought out were precisely the fruits borne by the Spirit Candle Fruit Tree and the Falling Flower Immortal Fruit Tree.

These fruits require an entire Kalpa to mature, and each harvest yields only twelve fruits.

An ordinary Daluo who consumes one can instantly step into the Golden Immortal of the Origin.

Moreover, they greatly benefit future cultivation.

One cannot call them anything less than precious.

Even he did not have many—the combined fruits of all ten Chaos Spiritual Roots amounted to only a few hundred.

Truly precious.

Thus, even Causality and the others could not help but sigh at Hong Yuan's lavish generosity upon seeing these spirit fruits.

"I thank all fellow Daoists for your contributions to the Primordial Wilderness. These fruits are my reward to you, and they will greatly aid in restoring your origins."

Hearing this, Causality and the others made a bow to Hong Yuan.

"Many thanks, Daoist Hong Yuan. This item is indeed of great benefit to us, so we shall not refuse."

Seeing this, Luohu curled his lips, thinking to himself that a few measly fruits had bought them off already.

Truly a disgrace to the Chaos Demon Gods who had reincarnated.

Yet his hands carefully stowed away the Falling Flower Immortal Fruit that Hong Yuan had just tossed to him.

His eyes, however, were fixed greedily on the spirit fruits in Causality's hands.

Damn it, why did everyone else get two, while he alone got only one?!

That burning stare frightened Causality and the others into quickly tucking away their spirit fruits, afraid that Luohu would keep coveting them.

Seeing this, Hong Yuan said with exasperation, "Alright, Luohu, wipe your drool. Finish the task you promised me, and I'll give you another one then!"

Luohu snorted coldly in his heart.

As if he cared about those lousy fruits?

But what came out of his mouth was, "This Ancestor knows!"

Hong Yuan had long grown accustomed to Luohu's stubborn, hard-mouthed temper.

He simply nodded lightly and prepared to leave.

Before departing, Hong Yuan thought for a moment and directly struck the small fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation he had obtained into Luohu's body.

"Since you want this, then take it."

With that, Hong Yuan left directly.

He still needed to speak with Yang Mei about this matter.

After Hong Yuan left, Causality and the others also departed without a word.

"Luohu, we will visit you in ten Yuan Hui to complete Daoist Hong Yuan's instructions!"

With that, they quickly left.

Though Luohu's eyes burned for the spirit fruits in their hands, he chose not to stop them.

After all, those were given to Causality by Hong Yuan, and he could hardly snatch them by force.

He had just been thrashed, after all.

He truly did not want to run into Hong Yuan again.

Thinking it over, Luohu summoned some people to spread the news that he would invite all the great powers of the Primordial Wilderness to gather ten Yuan Hui from now.

After giving the orders.

Luohu finally sat back down on the Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus and began to probe what Hong Yuan had struck into his body.

What he saw left him stunned.

It was a fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation.

And this fragment was no smaller than the one he had obtained before.

"Hong Yuan... why would he give this to me?"

"Does he not know that this is a fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation?"

For a moment, Luohu was baffled.

"Is there something wrong with this Jade Plate of Creation that Hong Yuan gave this Ancestor?" That was the first thought in Luohu's mind.

Out of caution, he began to examine the fragment.

But to his surprise, he found nothing unusual about it.

Now Luohu was caught in a dilemma.

A supreme treasure before him—should he refine it, or not?

He had broken through to the Golden Immortal of the Origin so quickly entirely because of that other fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation.

Otherwise, even if he were stronger than Causality now, it would not be by much.

But if he were to refine it, he was also afraid there might be something wrong with the object.

After all, Hong Yuan had given it to him of his own accord.

Yet on second thought, if Hong Yuan wanted to make a move against him, he wouldn't need to go through so much trouble.

Besides, he still had a Falling Flower Immortal Fruit that Hong Yuan had given him.

Was he supposed to discard that too?

That wouldn't do.

Today, he had offended Causality and the others.

If they were to break through to Golden Immortal of the Origin and join forces, he might end up taking a beating.

So after thinking it over, Luohu made his decision.

"You dare to give it, Hong Yuan, and This Old Ancestor dares to take it. Does This Old Ancestor fear you, Hong Yuan?"

With that, Luohu directly pieced together the fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation that Hong Yuan had given him with the fragment he already possessed.

In an instant, the fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation blazed with brilliant light.

The Three Thousand Great Daos manifested.

And the grade of the Jade Plate of Creation fragment directly leaped to an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Compared to before, its power was immeasurably greater.

The originally blurry Three Thousand Great Daos were now countless times clearer.

Seizing this momentum, Luohu directly took out the Falling Flower Immortal Fruit.

Tilting his head back, he swallowed it whole.

Meanwhile, after leaving Mount Sumeru, Hong Yuan also sent a message to Yang Mei.

He hoped Yang Mei could join Luohu later in setting up some great arrays.

Yang Mei owed Hong Yuan many favors and had long wanted to repay them.

So upon receiving Hong Yuan's message, he immediately agreed.

After getting Yang Mei's confirmation, Hong Yuan put the matter out of his mind.

He wandered aimlessly along the way.

One Yuan Hui later, Hong Yuan arrived before a volcano.

Looking at this volcano, Hong Yuan immediately understood where he was.

It was the Volcano of Immortality.

The territory of Yuan Phoenix.

Just as Hong Yuan was pondering whether to go see Yuan Phoenix, the Fire Dao Laws that had been flowing peacefully around the Volcano of Immortality suddenly erupted like ignited gunpowder, bursting forth violently.

The flames surged with overwhelming force, spewing out from all directions like a raging sea, their momentum so fierce it seemed they would devour the entire world.

Accompanied by a phoenix cry that shook heaven and earth, a resplendent, colorful firebird emerged from the Volcano of Immortality amidst boundless auspicious signs.

Its light was dazzling, impossible to look at directly.

The aura of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal instantly swept across countless light-years around.

She raised her head and let out a long cry, the sound piercing clouds and splitting rocks, soaring straight through the nine heavens.

The phoenix crown on her head shone like a brilliant gem, and every feather on her body was like a meticulously crafted work of art, gleaming with mysterious and enchanting radiance.

Her entire being exuded nobility and majesty, and her phoenix eyes seemed capable of perceiving the mysteries of all things in the world.

Her posture was elegant and agile; when she spread her enormous wings, it seemed she could cover the entire sky.

The flapping of her wings stirred up fierce winds, like a gorgeous rainbow streaking across the heavens, bringing endless awe to all who witnessed it.

This was the first phoenix in heaven and earth—Yuan Phoenix.

Also known as Yuan Phoenix.

Not long after Yuan Phoenix's birth, Ancestral Dragon and First Qilin also emerged from the East Sea's shore and the Primordial Wilderness.

They were born almost simultaneously with Yuan Phoenix.

All three came into the world on the same day.

And in the Primordial Wilderness, many great beings sensed the birth of the three.

But none paid them any heed.

Just three beasts.

Although Yuan Phoenix, Ancestral Dragon, and First Qilin were each born with a share of destiny, in the eyes of those great beings who had stood firm in the Primordial Wilderness for countless years, that was all there was to it.
