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

The Three Patriarchs had also arrived at Hongjun's dojo.

They were none other than the Five Elements Ancestor, Yin-Yang Ancestor, and Ancestor Qiankun.

The three peak Hunyuan Golden Immortals had all reincarnated from Chaos Demon Gods and cultivated anew!

The only thing that disappointed Hongjun was that he had also invited Yang Mei, but that fellow was extremely cautious and refused to take the bait.

Not only did he refuse to come here, he would not even enter the Primordial Continent. This left Hongjun somewhat helpless.

Fortunately, it was not a major problem. Even without Yang Mei suppressing the space of the Primordial World, there were still others present. With so many people, stabilizing the space was more than enough. It was harmless.

"Fellow Daoists, the great calamity is approaching. I have already uncovered the truth behind the war between the Three Tribes. Luohu has been secretly pulling the strings. He is refining the Three Tribes into the Zhu Xian Sword Formation. Once the Zhu Xian Sword Formation is completed, the entire Primordial World will be destroyed."

Hongjun said solemnly.

The three ancestors' gazes sharpened when they heard Hongjun's words, and their brows furrowed slightly. However, none of them expressed an opinion. They merely looked at Hongjun in silence.

"As far as I know, Luohu's Zhu Xian Sword Formation has already been initially completed. He is secretly pushing things along now, and the final battle between the Three Tribes could erupt at any time."

"This matter is of great importance. It concerns all the Primordial Era Beings, as well as the place where we reside. The Primordial World is facing a crisis, and we cannot shirk our duty."

Hongjun spoke with measured cadence and force.

The Three Patriarchs treated his words as nothing but crap, letting them enter one ear and leave the other.

Luohu was not a good person, but did that make Hongjun one?

They could listen to these words, but did he really take them for fools and think he could deceive them?

If he were truly so kindhearted, he would not have sat by while the Three Tribes slaughtered one another. He could have simply exposed Luohu's scheme to the Three Tribes. Would they still have continued fighting then?

Seeing that the three men had no reaction, Hongjun naturally understood what they were thinking. Thus, he offered them a bargaining chip: "The Heavenly Dao has sent me a message. As long as Luohu falls and the Three Tribes are destroyed, all of us can prove the Dao and become Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals. I can swear to this upon my Dao heart."

Well, proving the Dao as a Hunyuan Golden Immortal was definitely possible. But when they would achieve it was something he had not mentioned.

"Prove the Dao as a Hunyuan Golden Immortal?"

The three men exchanged glances and smiled.

"What you say is absolutely right, Fellow Daoist."

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

"Luohu intends to destroy the world? Then we'll fight! As long as we are alive, we will never allow Luohu to wreak havoc in the Primordial World!"

The three men rose and voiced their positions one after another, speaking with faces full of anger and righteous indignation.

"Good."

A trace of a smile appeared on Hongjun's face. "Then, the three of you, let us first discuss the Dao. We shall wait for Luohu to provoke the final battle between the Three Tribes. Once the Three Tribes begin fighting, that will be the moment for us to act."

"That is as it should be."

The three men nodded.

The Primordial Continent, near the East Sea.

After refining eleven rivers, Tang Xuan's body began to radiate an obscure aura. In a trance, the sound of waves seemed to arise around him.

The Great Dao of Water seemed to manifest itself. Streams of water elements rapidly gathered toward Tang Xuan, seemingly transforming into strands of the profundity of water that coiled around him.

A breakthrough—the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

With his eyes slightly closed, Tang Xuan carefully comprehended the profundity and wonder of the late Great Luo stage. Then he opened his eyes and exhaled.

"Next, as long as I continue refining rivers step by step and break through to the peak of the Great Luo realm, I can begin scheming for the East Sea."

"Fortunately, the Heavenly Secrets are in chaos because of the calamity. Otherwise, refining rivers like this would probably have already attracted the attention of the Heavenly Dao or Hongjun."

Tang Xuan's eyes flickered, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

At that moment, he sensed something. His spirits lifted, and his eyes lit up.

This was... feedback from the Wish Origin!

Within his true spirit, the operational template belonging to the Dao of Wishes had already been refined and split apart, and it was now running!

After scheming for so long, it was finally time to reap the harvest!!!

You can't find the book by searching its title? Try searching for the author instead. Maybe it was merely renamed!

"It seems the Three Tribes have already made their decision and begun acting in secret."

Tang Xuan smiled. With a sway of his body, he vanished from the spot, decisively halting his refinement of the rivers and returning to his main body.

It was time to see how much Wish Origin he had managed to obtain this time!

Within his main body, the river.

Tang Xuan sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed. Through that mysterious, profound perception, he seemed to vaguely see wisps of origin extending from the Four Seas, the Immortal Volcano, and the Void Plain.

As though inspiration had suddenly arrived, Tang Xuan felt a trace of enlightenment rise within his heart.

What was a wish? It was a heartfelt wish—a thought of desire.

What was hope? It was hope, and also longing.

The reason he could obtain the Wish Origin, or what could also be called the Fantasy Origin, by fulfilling the wishes of others and changing the trajectories of living beings was that living beings possessed a special nature.

Living beings were born with spirit. Every living being itself often represented inconceivable and infinite possibilities. Naturally, the origin fed back after their evolution was also filled with this characteristic.

Of course, there were certainly deeper mysteries involved, such as why this origin possessed the ability to evolve everything.

As for that aspect, the level involved was too profound, far beyond what Tang Xuan could comprehend.

At his current level, Tang Xuan could only understand and sense these superficial profundities.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant that seemed eternal, Tang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes.

Ten thousand strands of origin!

A full ten thousand strands of Wish Origin!

To put it simply, the Wish Origin previously stored and possessed by the system amounted to less than a thousand strands. From this, one could imagine just how enormous these ten thousand strands of Wish Origin were.

And this was merely the first batch!

He could already sense that more and more Wish Origin was continuously converging.

Tang Xuan took a deep breath and licked his lips.

He had struck it rich?

He had struck it rich!

If the entire Dragon-Han Calamity ended, the amount of origin he could obtain would be utterly unimaginable!

With a thought, Tang Xuan sensed how much Wish Origin would be needed to raise his own status.

Through that mysterious feedback, Tang Xuan gained enlightenment.

His current status belonged to the Spirit River, which could also be called the Innate River. The quality of a single drop of river water far surpassed the quality of the entire universe from his previous life.

There were many possible directions for him to advance his status. One was the Chaos River, which could contain all laws and smelt all Daos, as if it bore the Three Thousand Great Daos. This would require as much as ten billion strands of origin, and it was the strongest status at the next higher level.

Aside from that, there were also various river statuses such as the Law River, Magic River, and Divine Dao River. These would be much cheaper.

But obviously, Tang Xuan could never choose those advancement paths.

Only if his brain were broken would he choose magic or laws. He was in the Primordial World, where the cultivation system was the Immortal Dao. What use was there in choosing something outside the Primordial World's cultivation system? Not to mention that the Chaos River was the most powerful. If he was going to choose, he would naturally choose the strongest one.

Fortunately, although ten billion strands of Wish Origin was an enormous amount, it was not completely unattainable. For example, he could first obtain the partial status of the Chaos River bit by bit, then complete the transformation and advance fully in the end.

"As long as I advance to the Chaos River, the next step will be the Destiny River, the River of Cause and Effect, and then... the River of Time!"

"Moreover, if my main body becomes the Chaos River, its sheer strength alone will be enough for me to surpass the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and truly become immune to all laws."

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

It was only ten billion strands of origin. It seemed like a lot, but it was not actually unattainable.

Tang Xuan had calculated that if everything proceeded according to his plans, the amount of origin he could obtain from merely the Dragon-Han Calamity would reach at least hundreds of millions, or even more than a billion!

He took a deep breath and calmed himself before sensing the amount of origin once more.

Very good. In just this short while, the origin had increased by several thousand strands again, and it was about to reach twenty thousand strands of Wish Origin.

It felt incredible to officially set the plan into motion!

"Now that the first batch of origin is in hand, it is time to resolve this matter as well."

Tang Xuan muttered to himself.
