Feng Xi didn't delve too deeply into Dayi's gossip.

His strength didn't allow it, and he had more important matters to attend to.

The Witch Clan's diplomatic visit allowed him to witness the vastness of the outside world. Perhaps there was even a chance to get close to other Great Divine Ability Users and behold some great existences!

Even though his strength meant he could only play a minor role in such an event.

Still, it was a rare opportunity.

Feng Xi prepared with a hundred-ten-thousandth of his effort.

"Clang!"

A heavy, solemn bell chime resounded throughout Buzhou Mountain.

Brilliant radiance poured down, making the place sacred and extraordinary.

A massive ceremonial procession was already fully assembled and ready.

When the bell's chime echoed through heaven and earth, it was like a signal. Divine dragons roared, pulling the chariot. Escorted by tens of thousands of fierce warriors and gods arrayed in formation, they ascended straight into the firmament, riding the wind and harnessing the lightning!

This was the Witch Clan's delegation for an external visit.

Two Ancestral Witches—Dijiang and Houtu—mobilized their true forms to travel across the Primordial Era, visiting one Great Divine Ability User after another to establish cooperative relationships.

As they represented the entire Witch Clan, the grandeur of the occasion could not be understated. It was both a testament to the esteemed status of the Ancestral Witches and a show of respect to the Great Divine Ability Users being visited, highlighting the formality of the journey.

Among the hundreds of thousands of Witch Clan warriors brought along to fill out the ranks, not a single one was below the Golden Immortal realm.

And towering above them were the generals of the Witch army.

They had another title—Great Witch, beings whose status in the Witch Clan was second only to the Ancestral Witches.

One Great Witch commanded a hundred thousand Witch soldiers.

Here, several Great Witches stood, their auras echoing each other. A light emanated from them, an eternal, immortal light!

That light originated from their souls, from the Great Dao, illuminating infinite time and space, existing forever.

Grand Unity!

Golden Immortals as soldiers, Grand Unity as generals… such a display, how powerful was it?

Only supreme, mighty beings like the Ancestral Witches could easily command such a force and display their majesty.

A true man should be like this.

Feng Xi yearned with envy and aspiration, while cautiously gripping the reins… feeling the boundless, infinite power on the other end, like pulling apart vast universes, making one's heart tremble.

Even though he knew the divine dragons pulling the chariot were docile, the sheer disparity in power made him, the charioteer, unable to remain calm.

"The dragons pulling the chariot are stronger than me. This is utterly unfair," Feng Xi's eye twitched incessantly. "Nine dragons, nine Grand Unity experts!"

"In the Primordial Era, each of them would be a hegemon of their own region…"

A Grand Unity expert, within their body, could evolve a nascent form of primordial energy, capable of transforming elemental energy, arranging the laws of the Great Dao, and constructing all phenomena.

Ordinary individuals could establish their own realms; the most exceptional among them could even construct multiverses, fully displaying their divine power of creation!

Even in a world like the Primordial Era, with its meticulously precise rules and order, they possessed supreme might, second only to the Grand Unity Supremes who controlled the authority of space-time and could reverse past and future. They were the strongest!

Yet now, such powerful beings were pulling a chariot.

"Heaven have mercy, I'm only a Golden Immortal," Feng Xi grumbled inwardly. "Although the chariot is worth more than the driver, that's normal… but why do I feel so sad?"

Being the driver for Ancestral Witch Dijiang, instead of being like the other foot soldiers, should have been a happy occasion.

But truly feeling the gap in strength made it impossible to be happy.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before Feng Xi rallied his spirits, changed his mindset, and sent a wisp of his spiritual will along the reins to one of the Grand Unity-level true dragons. Through it, he began to ponder the principles behind its magical power circulation and glimpse the mysteries of the Grand Unity realm.

Being the driver for a supreme being was an opportunity to see and learn, and even a little would be immensely beneficial to him.

While experiencing the enhancement of his knowledge, the broadening of his horizons, and the slow but clear climb of his cultivation and dao attainment, he gazed out at the vast Primordial Era. Seeing the outside world firsthand over these past few hundred years filled Feng Xi with a profound, soul-deep shock—

The Primordial Era, what a magnificent and vast universe!

It appeared as a single realm, but it was far from it.

The Primordial Continent alone was equivalent to countless universes fused together!

On that vast land, one could occasionally see immense mountain ranges undulating like dragons, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles… Yet, compared to the true scale of this world, they weren't even comparable to a small hill.

But even in such a remote corner, countless races and infinite beings lived.

So many divine dynasties stood tall, established by cultivators claiming their own territories. Each kingdom was filled with a multitude of powerhouses, occupying blessed lands and pure soils.

Feng Xi could see these divine dynasties warring with each other, armies of millions of cultivators clashing, all to occupy better territories and seize more resources.

In the midst of battles and conquests, some perished, and some rose to prominence… Joy and sorrow were woven into the fabric of existence, composing a song of the mortal world.

However, relative to the infinite vastness of this world, what was the passage of time over countless epochs?

Not even a speck of dust… perhaps.

This was the Primordial Era as seen by a Golden Immortal cultivator, and it was already so magnificent and spectacular.

Can Golden Immortals see the entirety of the world?

Of course not.

Using his identity as a charioteer to borrow the power of the divine dragons pulling the chariot, Feng Xi briefly possessed the perspective of a Grand Unity. Through this, he comprehended the rules of space, understood the mysteries of cosmic laws and dimensional arrangements, and glimpsed a vaster heaven and earth.

The myriad heavens and myriad origins!

Every speck of dust and grain of sand, every flower and tree... their essence contained transcendent Dao rhythm and Dao light.

This was the manifestation of the Primordial Dao.

And the Dao could give birth to all things, possessing infinite creation.

Feng Xi focused his gaze and saw a flower.

This was a flower, yet it was also a real and true world.

One body, two aspects, coexisting without contradiction.

Within this world inside the flower, there was material primordial energy, myriad races, and myriad spirits; there were also cultivators pursuing the truth of the Great Dao and embarking on the path of cultivation... Although the Great Dao within this world was only a part of the complete laws of the real Primordial Era, possessing its own limits.

However, the beings within were not without hope of eternal ascension—as long as they reached the peak of their world and then made a final leap, breaking through the turbulent sea of space, they would "ascend" to the Primordial world, the origin of all, and begin a new life!

And how many worlds like this were there?

There were infinite, endless worlds, so many that Feng Xi could never count them in his lifetime.

They were also a part of this vast heaven and earth.

Such a heaven and earth is called—the Primordial Era!

For the first time, the immensity of the universe and the breadth of worlds formed the most intuitive impression in Feng Xi's mind.

It declared its existence with an overwhelming force, so vast, so colorful!

"Are you very surprised? Do you think this is all there is to the Primordial Era?" Ancestral Witch Dijiang asked, sensing the intense changes in Feng Xi's heart, and smiled faintly. "No, this doesn't even count."
