Primordial Wilderness: Download Pangu's Cultivation at the Start - Section 22

Qing Tian glanced into the distance. Anyone who could set foot here was no mere trash.

Soon, he saw an old man in a purple Daoist robe, a whisk in hand, slowly emerging.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. This poor Daoist is Hongjun. This object is not something you can claim. I urge you to withdraw your hand."

The newcomer spoke to Qing Tian, but his gaze was fixed on the Jade Butterfly of Creation suspended in the void.

He never expected to obtain the Jade Butterfly of Creation—what an immense stroke of luck.

The newcomer was none other than Ancestor Hongjun.

Ancestor Hongjun had been cultivating on Yujing Mountain when, suddenly, a mysterious aura silently pulled him into Buzhou Mountain.

This astonished Ancestor Hongjun. To silently drag him from Yujing Mountain to Buzhou Mountain—what kind of power was that?

A Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin?

Ancestor Hongjun refused to believe that any being in the Primordial Wilderness could have broken through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin at this time.

Even he, a Chaos Demon God who had survived from the Chaos Era, was only at the perfected Golden Immortal of the Origin realm.

Just as Ancestor Hongjun was wondering who had pulled him here, a message appeared in his mind.

The Heavenly Dao had chosen him as the spokesperson of the Primordial Wilderness.

When the time was ripe, he could govern the Primordial Wilderness and become the master of the supreme world.

Upon receiving this message, Ancestor Hongjun was overjoyed.

Master of the world!

What an irresistibly tempting condition—especially for a world as mighty as the Primordial Wilderness.

Then, following the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, he arrived here and discovered the Jade Butterfly of Creation.

The moment Ancestor Hongjun saw the Jade Butterfly of Creation, his entire body trembled uncontrollably.

The Jade Butterfly of Creation!!

A Chaos Supreme Treasure.

A sacred artifact of creation.

Back in the Chaos Era, Pangu had suppressed countless Chaos Demon Gods. They speculated that Pangu must have relied on this sacred artifact of creation.

After all, this was a supreme treasure containing the three thousand Great Dao laws. Some Chaos Demon Gods even guessed that the opportunity to attain the Great Dao might lie within this treasure.

Thus, when Pangu sought to prove the Dao, they unleashed a great calamity.

As for the claim that Pangu's Dao-proving and the splitting of Chaos left them no place to cultivate—

That was utter nonsense.

How vast was Chaos? Even as Chaos Demon Gods, they had never known the true extent of the Chaos World.

The Primordial Wilderness that Pangu created was merely a corner of the Chaos World, so it naturally had no effect on them.

Their ambush of Pangu was fundamentally driven by their desire to seize this sacred artifact of creation—the Jade Butterfly of Creation.

Now, seeing the Jade Butterfly of Creation right before his eyes, how could Ancestor Hongjun not be excited?

After all, this was the treasure that three thousand Chaos Demon Gods had once fought over.

But just as Ancestor Hongjun was about to claim it, he naturally noticed Qing Tian, who was also reaching for the Jade Butterfly of Creation.

Hence!

The scene at the beginning.

"An Innate Demon God!"

Ancestor Hongjun had assumed the figure standing beneath the Jade Butterfly of Creation was a spirit or a ferocious beast, but he never expected it to be an Innate Demon God.

And his cultivation was the same as his own—both were Golden Immortals of the Origin.

You are!!

Ancestor Hongjun?

Qing Tian looked at the Innate Demon God who had suddenly appeared before him. At first, he didn't pay much attention.

But when he heard the name announced, Qing Tian was also taken aback.

This Innate Demon God was none other than the future, illustrious Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The supreme Dao Ancestor who governed the Heavenly Dao.

The most powerful boss in the Primordial Wilderness.

Qing Tian had once imagined a hundred different scenarios for meeting Ancestor Hongjun. After all, they existed in the same era, so a meeting was inevitable.

But Qing Tian never expected that his encounter with Ancestor Hongjun would be like this.

"May I ask this fellow Daoist's title? In which cave-dwelling of the Primordial Wilderness do you cultivate?"

Ancestor Hongjun asked Qing Tian. If he hadn't seen that Qing Tian's cultivation was roughly equal to his own, he would have already made his move.

Hongjun was no kind-hearted soul. To be able to govern the way of heaven and earth, he naturally possessed iron-fisted methods.

"My name is Qing Tian." Qing Tian replied coldly.

"You are Qing Tian?" Upon hearing Qing Tian speak his name, Ancestor Hongjun exclaimed in surprise.

Qing Tian!

Although Hongjun rarely walked the Wild Continent, he had still heard of Qing Tian's great name.

After all, Qing Tian was the Innate Demon God who had roamed the Wild Continent most frequently over these long years.

The other Innate Demon Gods mostly cultivated in secret, quietly accumulating their power.

In his early years, Ancestor Hongjun had wanted to meet this Qing Tian.

Since they were both Innate Demon Gods, Hongjun considered himself the foremost among them.

"I never expected it to be Fellow Daoist Qing Tian. In that case, this old man offers his greetings. This object is fated for me—might Fellow Daoist Qing Tian be willing to yield?"

Upon learning that the Innate Demon God standing opposite him was Qing Tian, Ancestor Hongjun naturally prepared himself thoroughly.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Hongjun, your words go too far. What do you mean, 'this object is fated for me'? Then I say the Pangu Banner on your person is fated for me—should you hand it over?"

Qing Tian laughed heartily, showing no regard for this future Teacher of Heaven and Earth, Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

After all, their strength was roughly equal at present—why should he fear him?

Besides, if it came to a real fight, no one knew who would win or lose.

Hearing that Qing Tian knew about the Pangu Banner on his person, Ancestor Hongjun was stunned once more.

"How does Qing Tian know I possess the Pangu Banner?"

This Pangu Banner was an Innate Supreme Treasure Ancestor Hongjun had obtained while wandering the Wild Continent tens of thousands of years ago.

It was a rare and precious treasure, never yet revealed to anyone—no one should know of it. Yet how did Qing Tian find out?

"Hmph, Fellow Daoist Qing Tian, we are both Innate Demon Gods. We should not be fighting each other. But this object is crucial to this old man's future path to enlightenment, so I ask Fellow Daoist Qing Tian to show mercy."

"Boom!"

As he spoke these words, a powerful aura erupted from Ancestor Hongjun's body, clearly intended to intimidate Qing Tian.

Feeling the aura radiating from Ancestor Hongjun, Qing Tian snorted. Trying to play rough? Let's see about that.

But just as Qing Tian was about to make his move, he suddenly detected a familiar aura on Ancestor Hongjun.

In an instant, Qing Tian's gaze snapped upward toward Ancestor Hongjun, and he saw a strange aura descend upon him.

Heavenly Dao!!

The aura descending upon Dao Ancestor Hongjun was none other than the Heavenly Dao that had vanished mid-battle with Qing Tian.

Damn it. So the Heavenly Dao ran off earlier to find a backer.

"Hmph, so what if you've brought Hongjun? Today I'll see what the two of you can do to me."

Qing Tian's gaze hardened. Today, he would see just what the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun could accomplish against him.

Seeing that Qing Tian's expression did not change at all under the pressure of his aura, Ancestor Hongjun's face darkened.

As expected of the Great Emperor Qing Tian, feared by both the Divine and Beast clans—his cultivation is indeed formidable. It seems a fierce battle is unavoidable today.

"Fellow Daoist Qing Tian, I will ask you one last time: will you yield the Jade Butterfly of Creation or not?"

Ancestor Hongjun demanded loudly once more, his aura surging several times stronger.

"Hmph!"

"If you want this Jade Butterfly, it depends on whether you have the skill to take it. If you think you're capable, then by all means, try."

"..."

Qing Tian wasted no more words.
