Primordial Wilderness: Starting by Downloading Pangu's Cultivation

With her breakthrough in cultivation, Meng Wu was naturally overjoyed—after all, she had been stuck at this step for a million years.

A Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

In the current Wild Continent, that counted as a powerhouse on one level, and even within the Phoenix Clan, it was considered a respectable cultivation base.

"Thank you, Master." Meng Wu rose and spoke respectfully to Qing Tian. Her view of him had shifted somewhat by now.

"A trivial matter. If you serve this Dao Lord well, even the Golden Immortal of the Origin is a realm I can let you enter."

Qing Tian laughed heartily.

"Hmph!" Meng Wu didn't take his words seriously at all. A Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal might be broken through with external help, but a being at the level of a Golden Immortal of the Origin was not something external forces could easily achieve.

After all, who knew how many ages had passed since Pangu split open the heavens and earth to create the Wild Continent? Yet even now, there were fewer than a hundred Golden Immortals of the Origin in existence.

A hundred might seem like many, but consider how many living beings there were in the Wild Continent?

Just their Phoenix Clan alone had countless members, yet within such a vast race, there were only a dozen or so Golden Immortals of the Origin.

"By the way, do you know where this place is on the Wild Continent?" Qing Tian asked.

"Master, if we go further ahead, we'll reach the Netherworld Sea of Blood," Meng Wu replied.

"The Sea of Blood?"

"I never expected this Dao Lord to end up here."

Qing Tian was taken aback by Meng Wu's answer. He had been heading for Buzhou Mountain—how had he come to the Sea of Blood?

Right!

A thought suddenly struck Qing Tian.

After Pangu split the heavens, a mass of filthy blood from his body fell and became the Netherworld Sea of Blood.

And within that Sea of Blood, a life was conceived and born, named Old Ancestor Minghe.

He was born with two swords at his side, called Yuantu and Abi.

This being, born from the Sea of Blood, was quite a famous figure in the history of the Wild Continent. Unfortunately, his luck was poor, and he never attained the Origin realm.

But his strength was nothing to scoff at—that saying, 'As long as the Sea of Blood does not dry up, Minghe will not perish,' was enough to prove his power.

Originally, Qing Tian's first target had been Buzhou Mountain.

He wanted to see the majestic stature of the so-called number one divine mountain of the Wild Continent. But since he was already at the edge of the Sea of Blood, he might as well go and investigate it first.

Having made up his mind, Qing Tian said in a low voice, "Transform, and carry me to the Sea of Blood."

"Yes, Master!"

"Caw!"

Meng Wu let out a cry, and suddenly, a massive flame-covered phoenix divine beast materialized on the ground.

This was Meng Wu's true form—a member of the Vermilion Bird lineage, bearing the bloodline of a sacred beast that commanded flames.

Within the Phoenix Clan, her grade was not low, sitting at the upper-middle tier.

Seeing Meng Wu's transformed body, Qing Tian stepped onto her back and stood there.

Standing on her back, he sat cross-legged and said, "Serve this Venerable well, and in the future, I can advance your bloodline a step further."

With that, Qing Tian closed his eyes and fell into slumber.

"Thank you, Master."

Meng Wu was overjoyed. If her bloodline advanced further, it would be enough to rival the level of an ancestor.

Then, Meng Wu spread her massive wings and soared into the sky, heading toward the Netherworld Sea of Blood.

The journey from the small realm to the Netherworld Sea of Blood, with Meng Wu carrying Qing Tian, went smoothly without obstruction.

After all, Meng Wu was from one of the three primordial races—the reputation of the Phoenix Clan was no joke.

Moreover, since Meng Wu herself was a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, naturally no one dared to block her way.

And so, she flew toward the Netherworld region.

Several days later.

A flame-covered phoenix slowly appeared at the entrance to a vast, boundless sea of blood.

Before them lay a crimson sea, from which waves of thick, pungent blood stench emanated.

The Sea of Blood—called such because of the blood itself.

The Netherworld Sea of Blood was originally formed from a mass of filthy blood at the dawn of creation, and over the ages, endless blood energy had flowed into it from all over the Wild Continent, leaving millions of miles around it devoid of any living being daring to approach.

Meng Wu landed at the entrance to the Sea of Blood, lowered her body, and said, "Master, ahead is the Netherworld Sea of Blood."

Hearing Meng Wu's voice, Qing Tian, who had been sleeping, awoke. He opened his eyes and looked ahead.

"So this is the Netherworld Sea of Blood?"

Qing Tian gazed at the boundless sea of blood before him, sensing the aura emanating from it—even he felt a trace of wariness.

After all, he was already at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm, merely a step away from the Hunyuan Realm.

Yet even he could not see through this Blood Sea, and he simply couldn't fathom how Minghe would later refine it.

Could there be some hidden secret behind it, or what?

Qing Tian dared not take the novel's plot as absolute truth, given that he was now truly living in the Primordial Wilderness.

"Let's go. Follow This Seat into the Blood Sea." Qing Tian stood at the entrance of the Blood Sea.

Meng Wu stood beside Qing Tian and said, "Master, I'm afraid I cannot follow you into the Blood Sea."

Qing Tian asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Master, the oppressive force of the Netherworld Sea of Blood is too strong. Meng Wu simply cannot withstand the pressure within."

Meng Wu explained.

The Netherworld Sea of Blood was formed from Pangu's navel, so the power contained within it was naturally immense.

Even a Hunyuan Golden Immortal entering it would face nine deaths and one chance of survival, let alone Meng Wu, who was only at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm. Rushing in recklessly would be nothing short of suicide.

Qing Tian thought it over and agreed—even he felt a hint of danger from this Blood Sea.

"This point This Seat failed to consider. Then wait outside. If This Seat has not emerged from the Netherworld Sea of Blood in ten thousand years, you may go to Buzhou Mountain and wait for me."

With that, Qing Tian plunged headlong into the endless Blood Sea.

Seeing Qing Tian enter the Blood Sea, Meng Wu also found a spot where the blood qi intrusion was weak and began to cultivate.

The moment he stepped into the Blood Sea, Qing Tian felt a wave of bloody qi rushing toward him.

Fortunately, Qing Tian had already broken through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal level; otherwise, he truly could not have blocked the invasion of this bloody qi.

Search!

Without any superfluous words, Qing Tian released his divine sense and began searching for Minghe within the Blood Sea.

The Blood Sea was so vast that even a Saint could not fully scan it, let alone Qing Tian at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm.

Thus, this search stretched on for several hundred years.

"Damn it!"

"This Blood Sea is way too big!"

Qing Tian stood atop the Blood Sea, gazing at the endless crimson expanse around him, and couldn't help sighing inwardly.

He had originally thought that once he entered, he would find Minghe quickly, but this search had consumed centuries of time.

Fortunately, this was the Primordial Wilderness era—time was but fleeting smoke to them.

Perhaps a single seclusion could last millions of years.

"Doesn't the novel say the Primordial Wilderness is littered with treasures? Then why haven't I found any?"

Qing Tian was also baffled by the Blood Sea. After all, it was formed from Pangu's navel—how could there not be a single treasure? This left him utterly speechless.

Though treasures were of little use to Qing Tian—his physical body already rivaled an Innate Spiritual Treasure, and with the Heaven Burying Saber, an Innate Supreme Treasure, ordinary treasures held little value for him.

Still, who would ever tire of having more treasures? Even if he couldn't use them, he could keep them to devour later and boost his strength.

Rumble!!

Boom!!
