Qing Tian looked into the distance. Anyone who could enter this place naturally wasn't trash.
Before long, an old man wearing a purple Daoist robe and holding a whisk slowly appeared.
"Fellow Daoist, I am Hongjun. Greetings. This item is not something you can claim. I hope you will stop here."
The newcomer spoke to Qing Tian, but his eyes were fixed on the Jade Butterfly of Creation floating in the void.
I never thought I would actually obtain the Jade Butterfly of Creation. This truly is heaven-defying luck.
The newcomer was none other than Ancestor Hongjun.
Ancestor Hongjun had originally been cultivating on Yujing Mountain, but a mysterious aura had suddenly dragged him into Buzhou Mountain without a sound.
Ancestor Hongjun was utterly shocked. What kind of power was needed to drag him silently from Yujing Mountain to Buzhou Mountain?
A Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal?
Ancestor Hongjun did not believe that any living being in the Primordial Wilderness could break through to the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm at such a time.
Even he, a Chaos Demon God who had survived from the Chaos Era, was only at the perfected Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.
Just as Ancestor Hongjun was wondering who had dragged him here, a piece of information appeared in his mind.
The Heavenly Dao had chosen him as the representative of the Primordial Wilderness' heaven and earth.
Once the time was ripe, he could take control of the Primordial Wilderness' heaven and earth and become the supreme master of the world.
After receiving this information, Ancestor Hongjun was overjoyed.
The master of the world!
This was an incomparably tempting condition, especially since it concerned such a powerful world as the Primordial Wilderness.
Then, following the Heavenly Dao's guidance, he came here and discovered the Jade Butterfly of Creation.
The instant Ancestor Hongjun saw the Jade Butterfly of Creation, his entire body began trembling uncontrollably.
The Jade Butterfly of Creation!!
That was a Chaos Supreme Treasure.
A divine artifact of creation!
Back in the Chaos Era, Pangu had been able to suppress countless Chaos Demon Gods. They had guessed that it was surely because of this divine artifact of creation.
After all, this was a supreme treasure containing the laws of the Three Thousand Great Daos. Some Chaos Demon Gods had even guessed that the opportunity to attain the Great Dao might lie within this treasure.
Thus, when Pangu proved the Dao, they had launched a great tribulation.
As for the claim that Pangu had opened up the Chaos by proving the Dao, leaving them without a place to cultivate—
That was complete nonsense.
How vast was the Chaos? Even when they had been Chaos Demon Gods, they had not known the true extent of the Chaos World.
The Primordial Wilderness opened up by Pangu was merely a corner of the Chaos World, so it naturally had no effect on them, the Chaos Demon Gods.
The fundamental reason they had ambushed Pangu was that they wanted to seize the divine artifact of creation, the Jade Butterfly of Creation.
Now that the Jade Butterfly of Creation was right before him, how could Ancestor Hongjun not be excited?
After all, this was the treasure once coveted by three thousand Chaos Demon Gods.
However, just as Ancestor Hongjun was preparing to claim it, he naturally noticed Qing Tian, who was also reaching for the Jade Butterfly of Creation.
Thus!
The scene at the beginning had occurred.
"An Innate Demon God!"
Ancestor Hongjun had originally thought that the figure standing beneath the Jade Butterfly of Creation would be a deity or a ferocious beast. He had never expected it to be an Innate Demon God as well.
Moreover, his cultivation was also the same as Hongjun's—the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.
*
You are!!
Ancestor Hongjun?
Qing Tian looked at the Innate Demon God who had suddenly appeared before him and initially paid him little attention.
But after hearing him announce his name, Qing Tian was also stunned.
This Innate Demon God was the future legendary Dao Ancestor Hongjun of the Primordial Wilderness.
The supreme Dao Ancestor Hongjun who would control the Heavenly Dao.
The most powerful BOSS in the Primordial Wilderness.
Qing Tian had imagined a hundred possible scenes in which he might encounter Ancestor Hongjun. After all, they were living in the same era, so they would naturally meet.
But Qing Tian had never imagined that his meeting with Ancestor Hongjun would happen like this.
"I wonder what your name is, Fellow Daoist? Where in the Primordial Wilderness do you cultivate?"
Ancestor Hongjun asked Qing Tian. If he had not seen that Qing Tian's cultivation was about the same as his own, he would have attacked long ago.
Hongjun was no kindhearted man. Anyone capable of controlling the laws of heaven and earth naturally possessed iron-blooded methods.
"My name is Qing Tian," Qing Tian replied coldly.
"You are Qing Tian?" Ancestor Hongjun exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Qing Tian state his name.
Qing Tian!
Although Hongjun rarely traveled through the Wild Continent, he had still heard of Qing Tian's reputation.
After all, Qing Tian was the Innate Demon God who had traveled through the Primordial Wilderness most frequently in recent years.
The other Innate Demon Gods were basically cultivating in secret, silently accumulating strength.
Many years ago, Ancestor Hongjun had wanted to meet this Qing Tian.
After all, as an Innate Demon God himself, Hongjun believed that he should rank first.
"I never thought you would be Fellow Daoist Qing Tian. In that case, this old man offers his respects. This treasure is destined for me. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qing Tian could yield?"
After learning that the Innate Demon God standing opposite him was Qing Tian, Ancestor Hongjun naturally made thorough preparations.
"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you're taking this a little too far. What do you mean, this treasure is destined for you? Then I also see the Pangu Banner on you as destined for me. Shouldn't you give it to me?"
Qing Tian laughed loudly, not taking the future teacher of heaven and earth, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, seriously at all.
After all, the two of them were currently about equal in strength. Why should he fear Hongjun?
Besides, if they truly fought to the death, it was still uncertain who would win.
Ancestor Hongjun was once again startled when he heard that Qing Tian knew about the Pangu Banner on him.
How does Qing Tian know that I have the Pangu Banner?
The Pangu Banner was an Innate Supreme Treasure Ancestor Hongjun had obtained while traveling through the Primordial Wilderness tens of thousands of years ago.
It was an exceedingly rare treasure, and he had never revealed it until now. No one should have known about it. How, then, had Qing Tian found out?
"Hmph, Fellow Daoist Qing Tian, you and I are both Innate Demon Gods. We should not have to fight one another. However, this treasure may help this old man attain the Dao in the future, so I ask that Fellow Daoist Qing Tian show mercy."
"Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura erupted from Ancestor Hongjun, clearly intending to give Qing Tian a warning.
Feeling the aura surging from Ancestor Hongjun, Qing Tian snorted. So you want to use force? Then let's try.
However, just as Qing Tian was preparing to attack, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura on Ancestor Hongjun.
In an instant, Qing Tian abruptly raised his head and looked toward Ancestor Hongjun. He saw a strange aura descend upon him.
The Heavenly Dao!!
The aura descending upon Dao Ancestor Hongjun was none other than the Heavenly Dao, which had suddenly vanished halfway through its battle with Qing Tian earlier.
Damn, so the Heavenly Dao ran away earlier to find reinforcements.
"Hmph, so what if you found Hongjun? Today, I'll see what the two of you can do to me."
Qing Tian's gaze turned cold. Today, he wanted to see exactly what the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun could do to him.
Seeing that Qing Tian's expression had not changed in the slightest under the pressure of his aura, Ancestor Hongjun's face also darkened.
As expected of Great Emperor Qing Tian, feared by the two races of deities and ferocious beasts. His cultivation was truly formidable. It seemed that a bitter battle was inevitable today.
"Fellow Daoist Qing Tian, I'll ask you one last time. Will you yield the Jade Butterfly of Creation or not?"
Ancestor Hongjun asked Qing Tian loudly once more, and the aura around him surged several times over.
"Hmph!"
"If you want this jade butterfly, you'll have to see whether you have the ability to take it. If you think you can, then by all means, come and try."
"..."
Qing Tian no longer bothered with words.
