Hongjun: Luohu Will Act Immediately! The Three Ancestors Unite! The Origin Feedback Is Here!

On the other side, in front of the thatched cottage on Jade Capital Mountain.

Within Hongjun's Dao field, three powerful beings had arrived.

They were the Five Elements Ancestor, the Yin Yang Ancestor, and the Qiankun Ancestor.

Three peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm experts, all of whom were reincarnated Chaos Demon Gods who had cultivated anew!

The only regret for Hongjun was that he had also invited Yang Mei, but that fellow was extremely vigilant and refused to take the bait.

He wouldn't even set foot on the Primordial Continent, let alone come here, which left Hongjun somewhat helpless.

Still, it wasn't a major problem. Without Yang Mei to stabilize the Primordial space, there were others around. So many people were enough to keep the space firm—no real harm done.

"Three fellow Daoists, the great calamity is approaching. This Daoist has already uncovered the truth behind the Three Tribes' war: Luohu is secretly pulling the strings. He is using the Three Tribes to refine the Zhu Xian Sword Formation. If the Zhu Xian Sword Formation is completed, the entire Primordial Era will be destroyed."

Hongjun spoke with a solemn expression.

The three Ancestors heard Hongjun's words, their gazes sharpening and brows slightly furrowing, but none of them spoke up. They simply watched Hongjun in silence.

"As far as This Daoist knows, Luohu's Zhu Xian Sword Formation has already been completed in its initial stage. He is now secretly driving events, and the final battle of the Three Tribes could erupt at any moment."

"This matter is of great importance. It concerns all Primordial Era Beings and the very dwelling place we inhabit. The Primordial Era is facing a crisis, and we cannot shirk our duty."

Hongjun's voice rose and fell with emphasis, ringing out with force.

To this, the three Ancestors treated it as pure hot air, letting it go in one ear and out the other.

Luohu wasn't a good person, but was Hongjun any better?

They'd hear the words and let them pass. Did he really take them for fools, thinking he could trick them like idiots?

If he were truly so kind-hearted, he wouldn't have sat by and watched the Three Tribes slaughter each other. Why not just tell the Three Tribes about Luohu's scheme directly? Would the Three Tribes still be fighting?

Seeing no reaction from the three, Hongjun naturally understood what they were thinking, so he laid out his bargaining chip: "The Heavenly Dao has already sent word to me. As long as Luohu falls and the Three Tribes are destroyed, all of us can attain the Dao of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. On this matter, I swear by my Dao heart."

Well, attaining the Dao of Zenith Heaven was certainly possible—it was just a matter of when they would attain it. He hadn't specified that part.

"Attain the Dao of Zenith Heaven?"

The three exchanged glances and smiled.

"What you say is most reasonable."

"For the sake of the Primordial Era, we cannot shirk our duty."

"Luohu wants to destroy the world? Then we fight! As long as we still live, we will never allow Luohu to wreak havoc in the Primordial Era!"

The three stood up one after another, voicing their stance with faces full of righteous indignation.

"Excellent."

A smile appeared on Hongjun's face. "Then, the three of you, let us first discuss the Dao and await Luohu's strike and the Three Tribes' war. Once the Three Tribes' battle begins, that will be the moment for us to act."

"It should be so."

The three nodded.

On the Primordial Continent, near the East Sea.

After refining eleven rivers, Tang Xuan's body emitted an obscure aura. In the unseen realm, it seemed as if the sound of waves crashing appeared around him.

The Great Dao of Water manifested as if made visible. Streams of water elements rapidly converged toward Tang Xuan, transforming into ripples of water essence that swirled around him.

Breakthrough—Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, late stage!

Closing his eyes slightly, he carefully sensed the mysteries and wonders of the late Zenith Heaven stage, then opened his eyes and let out a breath.

"Next, as long as I continue refining rivers step by step and break through to the Zenith Heaven peak, I can start planning for the East Sea."

"Fortunately, the Heavenly Secrets are in chaos during the great calamity. Otherwise, refining rivers like this might have already drawn the attention of the Heavenly Dao or Hongjun."

Tang Xuan's eyes flickered, a faint smile spreading across his face.

At that moment, sensing something, Tang Xuan's spirit jolted, and his eyes lit up.

This was... the feedback of the Wish Origin!

Deep within his true spirit, the operational template of the Dao of Wishes—already refined and broken down—was now activating!

After scheming for so long, the time for harvest had finally arrived!!!

It seemed the Three Tribes had made their decision and were already moving in secret.

Tang Xuan smiled. His form flickered and vanished from the spot, decisively pausing the river refinement to return to his main body.

Time to see just how much Wish Origin he had reaped this time!

Within the main body's river.

Tang Xuan sat cross-legged, eyes slightly closed. Through that mysterious, profound connection in the unseen realm, he seemed to glimpse strands of origin extending from the Four Seas, the Immortal Volcano, and the Void Plain.

As if struck by a sudden epiphany, a sense of clarity rose in Tang Xuan's heart.

What is a wish? It is a desire of the heart, a thought of longing.

What is a hope? It is an aspiration, also a craving.

The reason one can obtain the Wish Origin—or, one might say, the Fantasy Origin—by fulfilling others' wishes and altering the trajectories of living beings is that the essence of Wish Power stems from the peculiarity of life itself.

Living beings, born as spirits, each inherently represents the inconceivable and infinite possibilities. Naturally, the Origin they nurture and feed back through their evolution is likewise imbued with such characteristics.

Of course, there must be deeper mysteries at play—for instance, why this Origin possesses the ability to evolve into anything at all.

As for that aspect, the level involved is far too high for Tang Xuan to comprehend.

At Tang Xuan's current level, he can only vaguely grasp and perceive these shallow profundities.

"Shua!"

In an instant that felt like eternity, Tang Xuan's eyes snapped open.

Ten thousand Daos of Origin!

A full ten thousand Daos of Wish Origin!

To put it in perspective, the Wish Origin previously stored and existing in the system was only about less than a thousand Daos. From this, one can imagine just how immense these ten thousand Daos of Wish Origin truly are.

And this was only the first installment!

He could already sense an unceasing stream of Wish Origin converging toward him.

Tang Xuan took a deep breath and licked his lips.

A jackpot?

A jackpot!

If this Dragon-Han Calamity were to run its full course, the sheer magnitude of Origin he could obtain would be utterly unimaginable!

With a flicker of thought, Tang Xuan sensed how much Wish Origin would be required to elevate his own rank.

Through the obscure feedback from the void, Tang Xuan gained insight.

His current rank belonged to the Spirit River, also known as the Innate River. The mass of a single drop of its water far surpassed the entire mass of his previous world's universe.

As for the paths to elevate his rank, there were many. One was the Chaos River, which could both encompass all laws and refine all Daos, much like bearing the Three Thousand Great Daos. This required a staggering ten billion Origin and was also the strongest rank at the next level.

Beyond that, there were other river ranks, such as the Law River, the Magic River, the Divine Dao River, and so on. These were far cheaper.

But obviously, Tang Xuan would never choose such paths.

He would have to be out of his mind to pick something like Magic or Law. He was in the Primordial Wilderness, on the path of Immortal Dao. What use was there in choosing something outside the cultivation system of the Primordial Wilderness? Not to mention that the Chaos River was the most formidable—if he was going to choose, he would naturally pick the best.

Fortunately, though ten billion Wish Origin was enormous, it wasn't impossible. For instance, he could gradually acquire partial rank of the Chaos River, then complete the full ascension later.

"Once I ascend to the Chaos River, the next step will be the Destiny River, then the River of Cause and Effect, and then... the River of Time!"

"Moreover, if my true body becomes the Chaos River, its sheer strength alone would allow me to stand above the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, truly achieving invulnerability to all laws."

Tang Xuan licked his lips, his eyes bright and his breathing slightly quickened.

Wasn't it just ten billion Origin? It seemed like a lot, but in reality, it wasn't unattainable.

Tang Xuan had estimated that if everything went according to his plan, the amount of Origin he could obtain from just the Dragon-Han Calamity alone would be at least hundreds of millions, or even over a billion!

He took a deep breath, steadied his emotions, and sensed the Origin count again.

Good. In just this short while, the Origin had increased by several thousand Daos, and it was about to reach twenty thousand Daos of Wish Origin.

It felt great to finally put the plan into action!

"Since the first installment of Origin is already in hand, it's time to settle this matter."

Tang Xuan murmured to himself.
