In the blink of an eye, fifty Yuan Hui had passed.
After all these years, the Myriad Races of the Great Desolation had finally regained some of their vitality.
Many new living beings had also been born.
However, this newly born generation was utterly incapable of comparing to the generation that had perished in the great war, whether in Root Foundation or cultivation.
Quite a few of them had only reached the Heavenly Immortal realm.
After all, regardless of strength, the previous generation had more or less been connected to the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods who had fallen before, or to Pangu.
The newly born generation, on the other hand, was separated by several generations.
Naturally, their Root Foundations could not compare with those of the past.
Moreover, this situation would gradually worsen as time passed.
But no matter what, the various regions of the Primordial Wilderness were no longer as desolate as they had been after the war.
During these fifty Yuan Hui, there had been some conflicts between the Myriad Races and the Fierce Beasts. However, under the restraint of the leaders on both sides, those conflicts had not escalated.
After all these years, Cuiwei, Han Su, and the others had buried the grief of the fallen attendants deep within their hearts.
Instead, they transformed their grief into motivation. With the aid of Heavenly Dao Merit, they had broken through one after another over the years.
Cuiwei and Han Su had pulled far ahead of the rest, breaking through to the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
The Grand Unity Dao Fruits they had condensed were not complete twelve-petal ones, but they had still reached nine petals.
Though it was only nine petals, that was enough for Cuiwei and Han Su to stand proudly over the entire Primordial Wilderness.
At present, aside from those ancestors who had inherited most of their previous lives' origins, Cuiwei and Han Su could truly say that there was not a single opponent worthy of fighting.
Even now, Cuiwei and Han Su found it difficult to believe. By their own estimations, given their Root Foundations and fortunes, six petals should have been their limit. Yet they had unexpectedly condensed nine-petal Grand Unity Dao Fruits.
Still, they vaguely sensed that their master must have intervened.
Other than Cuiwei and Han Su, the remaining attendants had not progressed slowly either. Most had reached the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, while a small number had broken through to the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
Their progress could not be called anything but astonishing.
It was even much faster than it had been in the Hong Yuan Realm.
Of course, that was not because the Primordial Wilderness was more suitable for cultivation than the Hong Yuan Realm. On the contrary, cultivation in the Hong Yuan Realm was countless times faster than in the Primordial Wilderness.
It was simply that some experiences and insights could not be gained through blind cultivation alone.
Then, on this day, Primordial Phoenix suddenly appeared at the foot of Zhou Mountain.
After giving Zhou Mountain a slight bow, she spoke softly. "Primordial Phoenix requests an audience with the Dao Venerable."
When Hong Yuan, who was within the Hong Yuan Realm, saw Primordial Phoenix, he was somewhat surprised.
Why had Primordial Phoenix come looking for him?
Still, he waved his hand and directly brought her before him.
In an instant, Primordial Phoenix felt her vision blur, and she abruptly appeared before Hong Yuan.
But in the next moment, she was shocked by the gentle and incomparably clear Great Dao Laws surrounding her.
Those Great Dao Laws were like a lake of warm springs, continuously flowing into her body.
That sensation of comfort left Primordial Phoenix unable to recover for a long while.
Seeing Primordial Phoenix enter a state of enlightenment, Hong Yuan did not speak to awaken her. He simply sat there quietly, occasionally taking a sip of clear tea.
After an unknown length of time, Primordial Phoenix finally awoke from her enlightenment.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Hong Yuan before her.
Her cheeks immediately flushed slightly. She had actually been so discourteous before the Dao Venerable.
Thus, she hurriedly bowed to Hong Yuan and apologized in trepidation. "Primordial Phoenix has been discourteous. I hope the Dao Venerable will forgive my offense."
Hong Yuan waved his hand and chuckled.
"It is nothing. Not just you—even when Yang Mei comes to my Dojo, he reacts the same way. I am used to it by now."
Upon hearing this, Primordial Phoenix's red lips parted slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes.
Even Ancestor Yang Mei lost his composure like that?
"By the way, the Fierce Beast Kalpa has yet to pass. Why are you here at my place today instead of cultivating properly?"
Upon hearing this, Primordial Phoenix hurriedly took out the many treasures she had collected over the years.
Placing them all before Hong Yuan, Primordial Phoenix lowered her gaze and spoke softly. "Thanks to the Dao Venerable's grace, the young phoenixes of my clan have been born, and many Phoenix Fruits have also grown. Primordial Phoenix knows that the Dao Venerable may not lack such trifles, but Primordial Phoenix still wishes to thank the Dao Venerable for his kindness toward my Phoenix Clan."
At this point, Primordial Phoenix could not help pausing. "If not for the Dao Venerable, Primordial Phoenix would likely have died at that gathering on formations three Kalpas ago."
Hong Yuan could not help sighing as he looked at the items Primordial Phoenix had brought out.
Primordial Phoenix had likely brought every presentable item possessed by her Phoenix Clan.
Among them were quite a few Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures and spiritual plants.
Though he did not care for such things, if they were placed outside, they would likely trigger a bloody storm.
Although he had little use for them, after pondering for a moment, he decided to accept the gifts. Hong Yuan immediately called to the attendant girl outside the hall, "Zi Qiao, hurry in and put away our honored guest's gifts!"
After hearing Hong Yuan's words, Primordial Phoenix could not help letting out a long breath of relief.
She had truly feared that Hong Yuan would look down on her things.
Upon hearing him, Zi Qiao, who stood outside the hall, scampered excitedly inside.
She was also the attendant girl who constantly spoke of stuffing enemies' heads into steel gates.
Her true form was an orchid from the Hong Yuan Realm.
Though her name sounded quite lovely, the other side she hid beneath that obedience and cuteness made even Hong Yuan reluctant to admit that she was his attendant girl.
When Zi Qiao saw Primordial Phoenix, she was somewhat surprised as well.
It was her first time seeing anyone besides Ancestor Yang Mei come to her master's Dojo.
But always mindful of etiquette, she knew when to speak and when to keep quiet.
Thus, she obediently put away everything Primordial Phoenix had taken out.
There was no disdain on her face for those so-called treasures.
Before she had ventured into the Primordial Wilderness, she might have thought Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures were nothing remarkable.
They were precious, certainly, but surely there could not be too few of them.
At the very least, every Grand Unity Golden Immortal should have one, right?
But after going out this time, she discovered that she had been outrageously wrong.
Put simply, none of the enemies she had encountered possessed a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Even the strongest among them, an existence at the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, possessed only a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Only then did she understand just how precious the treasures in her hands truly were.
It was not only her; the other attendants and attendant girls were the same.
Only then did they realize that their master was actually so awesome—far, far more awesome than they had imagined.
Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures were practically like miscellaneous items to him, so numerous that they could not even be counted.
