Primordial Wilderness: Download Pangu's Cultivation at the Start - Section 21

How is this possible?

How could this being possess the Pangu Axe?

The Heavenly Dao governs the Primordial Wilderness, and naturally knows every Innate Treasure like the back of its hand—but wasn't the Pangu Axe already shattered long ago?

Moreover, the Heavenly Dao is fully aware of the locations of every treasure that was broken apart.

An anomaly!!

This being is a great anomaly; he must be eliminated.

The Heavenly Dao's Eye gazed at Qing Tian, who held the Pangu Axe. At first, it had perhaps considered making Qing Tian its avatar to govern heaven and earth.

But now, seeing this scene, the Heavenly Dao knew it had to eliminate this being. Otherwise, he would inevitably threaten the development of the Primordial Wilderness in the future, which would naturally be disadvantageous to it.

The Heavenly Dao wanted to eliminate Qing Tian, and Qing Tian wanted the same—to slay the Heavenly Dao.

Slaying the Heavenly Dao—this was an act for the ages!

Though!

This Heavenly Dao's Eye was merely one of the Heavenly Dao's avatars, it was still part of the Heavenly Dao.

Just thinking about it was thrilling.

"Kill!"

"First Style of Heaven-Opening!"

"Open!"

Qing Tian gripped the Pangu Axe tightly and, facing the Heavenly Dao's Eye standing in the void, swung the axe with all his might in a sweeping arc.

Rip!

The axe cleaved as if splitting open the heavens, and a mighty aura descended upon the entire Buzhou Mountain.

The Heavenly Dao's Eye watched the axe-light hurtling toward it and burst forth with a Seven-Colored Radiance, a dazzling, colorful barrier forming before it as a natural shield.

As the Supreme Heavenly Dao governing the Primordial Wilderness, the Three Thousand Laws came to it as easily as reaching for a thread. The power of those laws coalesced into a divine spear that descended.

The Heavenly Dao Divine Spear!

This spear could annihilate any living being. If it were a spear condensed by the true Heavenly Dao, even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin would fall.

Unfortunately!

This Heavenly Dao's Eye was only a part of the true Heavenly Dao; the power it displayed was far too meager. Moreover, the Primordial Wilderness was still under the jurisdiction of the Great Dao.

"Break!"

"..."

Qing Tian watched the descending Heavenly Dao Divine Spear, surged upward against its flow with his formidable physical body, and swung his giant axe down once more.

With a crack!

The Heavenly Dao Divine Spear was split in two by the Pangu Axe and fell from the void.

The Heavenly Dao's Eye was astonished at this scene—if it had a face, it would surely be one of utter shock.

Then, Qing Tian saw the Heavenly Dao's Eye suddenly flee.

He wasn't mistaken!

After Qing Tian shattered the Heavenly Dao Divine Spear, the Heavenly Dao's Eye simply vanished.

What the hell was going on?

Qing Tian was deeply frustrated by this sudden turn of events—it had fled halfway through the fight without a word.

Qing Tian paid no further attention to the fleeing Heavenly Dao and turned his gaze to the place where he had already torn open a crack.

"Today, This Emperor will see just what the Heavenly Dao is trying to hide."

Qing Tian gripped the Pangu Axe and slashed down at the void with all his might.

Boom!

The mighty axe-light tore through the void. The already precarious crack, under such a powerful assault, could no longer hold.

Bang!!

In an instant, the hidden void shattered completely. A purple light burst forth from within, and a powerful aura leisurely spread outward.

What?

He never expected it to be this—no wonder the Heavenly Dao had tried to stop him.

When Qing Tian saw the treasure revealed from the shattered crack, he finally understood why the Heavenly Dao had appeared early to block him.

It was all because of this object.

The Jade Butterfly of Creation!

There, in the torn void, appeared a jade butterfly several zhang in size. However, this jade butterfly seemed incomplete—only a little more than half remained.

The Jade Butterfly of Creation was a supreme instrument of enlightenment, recording the complete Three Thousand Great Daos within it. It was truly an unparalleled supreme treasure.

The Jade Butterfly of Creation consists of three thousand jade fragments, each one recording a method of the Great Dao.

If a fortunate being obtains one of these fragments and comprehends it, they will surely break through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, and even attaining the Supreme Dao is not impossible.

The reason Dao Ancestor Hongjun would later become the teacher of the Primordial Wilderness is entirely because a large portion of the Jade Butterfly of Creation's fragments fell into his hands.

"So now I understand. No wonder the Heavenly Dao went to such lengths to block the rift I tore open, even offering me the chance to become a Heavenly Dao Sage—it was all because of this thing."

Qing Tian naturally understood the immense power of the Jade Butterfly of Creation. The Heavenly Dao could not allow any other living being to obtain it; only the Heavenly Dao's chosen spokesperson could receive it.

That was also why, in all the Primordial Wilderness, only Dao Ancestor Hongjun had ever obtained the Jade Butterfly of Creation.

After all, with such a treasure, the Heavenly Dao would never let it fall into the hands of another being.

And since Dao Ancestor Hongjun upheld the Heavenly Dao, he was already bound to it. The Heavenly Dao had no fear of Hongjun making any underhanded moves.

Qing Tian dispersed his dharma body, withdrew the Pangu Axe, descended to the ground, and looked up at the Jade Butterfly of Creation shimmering with purple light.

"System, can this thing be recycled?" Qing Tian suddenly asked. After all, this Jade Butterfly of Creation was a Chaos Supreme Treasure. Even though it had shattered into countless pieces during Pangu's Heaven-Opening, its grade still surpassed that of an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"Ding!"

"Master, the energy contained in the Jade Butterfly of Creation is too powerful. The system cannot absorb this item at present."

"Please upgrade the system to version 2.0."

"..."

Qing Tian heard the system's reply. He hadn't expected the Jade Butterfly of Creation to be so powerful that even the system couldn't recycle it.

Wait.

What the hell is version 2.0?

Qing Tian was puzzled.

"This system has a total of ten levels. Currently, it is at the initial level, capable of downloading at most ten targets, and sacrifices can only be made with items below the Innate Supreme Treasure level."

"Ten levels?"

"..."

Qing Tian was naturally shocked by the system's answer. Such a powerful system was still at its initial level.

"How do I upgrade the system?" Qing Tian asked.

"Master, each time you recycle a spiritual treasure, you gain upgrade progress. Currently, it is at three percent."

"Pfft!"

Qing Tian heard the upgrade conditions given by the system. This was too difficult. Did he have to sacrifice all the Innate Spiritual Treasures of the Primordial Wilderness?

Forget it!

He would set aside the matter of upgrading the system for now. The priority at the moment was to collect this Jade Butterfly of Creation.

Although the Jade Butterfly of Creation was of little use to Shi Hao—after all, he didn't need to cultivate; he could just download cultivation levels—why bother with such worries?

But as for a treasure like the Jade Butterfly of Creation, he naturally couldn't just leave it be. Was he really going to leave it for Hongjun?

Dream on!!

Qing Tian reached out a hand, ready to grab the Jade Butterfly of Creation floating in the void.

However.

Just then, a sudden aura descended upon Buzhou Mountain, interrupting Qing Tian's movement.
