The Zixiao Palace's three lectures concluded, and Hongjun merged with the Heavenly Dao.
The Great Powers, carrying their respective gains, returned to the Great Desolation.
The following ten thousand years ushered in the most tranquil period of the Primordial World.
Within their own Dao Fields, the Great Powers either entered seclusion to comprehend the Heavenly Dao or refined spiritual treasures.
After returning to their Dao Field, Nuwa and Fuxi recounted the events of Zixiao Palace to Qing Xuan.
[Hongjun has merged with the Dao, and the Witch-Demon Tribulation has begun to unfold.]
[I have already reached the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. With a series of methods, ordinary Grand Unity cultivators cannot do anything to me.]
[It's time to go out and see this Primordial World.]
"Master, I plan to go out and travel to seek a breakthrough."
Qing Xuan acted on his thoughts immediately, saying to Nuwa.
After arriving in the Great Desolation, he had become the Jianmu Tree. After taking human form, he came to Nuwa's Dao Field and hadn't had a chance to properly see the Primordial World yet.
Hearing that Qing Xuan wanted to travel, Nuwa was a little worried.
After all, although Qing Xuan's cultivation speed was fast, his realm as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal was still a bit low.
However, Nuwa couldn't forbid Qing Xuan from going out forever, as Qing Xuan's uniqueness destined him to never be ordinary.
Nuwa had always been clear about this.
After some thought, Nuwa took out the Rivers and Mountains Painting she had just obtained and handed it to Qing Xuan.
"This is a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure bestowed by the Dao Ancestor, the Rivers and Mountains Painting. It can trap people and collect objects. Take it with you. If you encounter a strong enemy, you can trap them within it, or hide within it yourself."
Thinking it wasn't entirely safe, Nuwa casually plucked a few strands of her hair.
The hair fell into Nuwa's hand, shimmering with light, emanating the aura of creation.
"Keep these hair strands close to you. They carry my aura and can unleash a full-powered strike of a Primordial Golden Immortal in times of crisis."
Seeing Nuwa's concerned expression, Qing Xuan felt a surge of emotion.
Qing Xuan put away the items.
He suddenly took a step forward and embraced Nuwa.
Nuwa's body stiffened abruptly. She instinctively wanted to resist but feared hurting Qing Xuan.
Qing Xuan buried his head near Nuwa's neck, his voice muffled.
"Thank you, Master. Don't worry, Master, I will return safely."
[No one has ever cared about me like this before!]
[Don't worry, with me here, I won't let you become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao.]
[I will definitely protect Master.]
Listening to Qing Xuan's inner thoughts, Nuwa gradually relaxed her body and slowly reached out to embrace Qing Xuan back.
Her voice carried deep concern and tenderness.
"Come back safely. I... I will wait for you at the Dao Field."
After saying this, Nuwa, her face flushed red, vanished from Qing Xuan's sight in an instant.
A smile appeared on Qing Xuan's face, and he then turned into a stream of light and left the Dao Field.
After Qing Xuan left, Nuwa reappeared in her original spot, gazing in the direction Qing Xuan had departed, lost in thought.
Fuxi appeared beside Nuwa at some point.
"Little Sister, this brother-in-law of yours is quite good. I approve."
Nuwa snapped back to reality and glared at Fuxi with a blushing face.
Fuxi chuckled heartily, then turned serious.
"Qing Xuan's uniqueness is destined to stir up the Primordial World. What we can do is not to be his burden."
Nuwa nodded, she naturally understood.
She would also do her best to protect Qing Xuan.
Qing Xuan left the Dao Field, feeling the vastness of heaven and earth.
"Where should I go first?"
Qing Xuan stood in the clouds and pondered for a while, deciding to go to Buzhou Mountain first.
After all, having come to the Great Desolation, Buzhou Mountain was a must-visit landmark.
The Witch-Demon Tribulation had already begun. If he didn't go now, he wouldn't be able to go once Gong Gong knocked down Buzhou Mountain.
With his mind made up, Qing Xuan wasn't in a hurry. He rode the clouds and slowly headed towards Buzhou Mountain.
A mountain in sight, but a horse's death on the road.
Even though Nuwa's Dao Field was not far from Buzhou Mountain, it still took Qing Xuan a thousand years to reach it.
Buzhou Mountain is the main base of the Witch Race, with traces of their lives everywhere.
Qing Xuan doesn't want any connection with the Witch Race for now, as most of them, except for Houtu, are rather single-minded.
Qing Xuan has a concealment technique provided by the System, so as long as he doesn't wish to be found, these witches naturally won't detect him.
Without disturbing the Witch Race, Qing Xuan arrived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
Buzhou Mountain, transformed from Pangu's spine, stands as the pillar supporting heaven and earth, its grandeur beyond any words.
Pangu's pressure lingers on Buzhou Mountain, increasing with altitude, making it an excellent place to temper the physical body.
Qing Xuan practices the Great God Pangu's Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique, which has reached the perfection of the fourth revolution and is about to enter the fifth.
For ten thousand years, Qing Xuan, enduring Pangu's pressure, advanced step by step towards the summit of Buzhou Mountain.
During this process, Qing Xuan's physical body continuously strengthened, and the bottleneck for the fifth revolution began to loosen. He only needed a catalyst to successfully break through to the fifth revolution and achieve the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
After an unknown amount of time, after exhausting all his strength, Qing Xuan finally succeeded in reaching the summit of Buzhou Mountain.
Just as Qing Xuan reached the summit of Buzhou Mountain, he suddenly sensed his destined opportunity.
Following the guidance, Qing Xuan arrived before a Grand Formation.
Before Qing Xuan could even think about how to break the formation, it distorted, and a powerful suction instantly drew him in.
The moment Qing Xuan's thoughts returned, he summoned the Jianmu Divine Spear, holding it horizontally before him, his gaze focused and vigilant.
This place should be an independent small world, akin to the Chaos.
"Hmm, an interesting junior."
A voice suddenly echoed, seemingly from everywhere.
"May I ask which senior is present? This junior has unintentionally intruded upon senior's Dao Field, I beg for your forgiveness."
Qing Xuan spoke politely, placing himself in the position of a junior.
After all, the ability to pull him into the formation without even giving him a chance to react was a feat far beyond ordinary Great Powers.
As soon as Qing Xuan finished speaking, a phantom image suddenly appeared before him.
The phantom image appeared silently, as if it had been standing there all along.
The phantom image had disheveled hair, a bare torso, and solid muscles filled with boundless power.
Qing Xuan averted his gaze immediately after a single glance.
With just one look, Qing Xuan felt as though he was about to achieve Dao enlightenment, a feeling akin to facing the Great Dao, making it impossible to look directly.
"I am Primordial Heavenly King, of the Pangu Clan. You, a junior, cultivate my technique yet do not recognize me."
Primordial Heavenly King? Pangu Clan? Great God Pangu?
Qing Xuan's pupils constricted.
He quickly put away the Jianmu Divine Spear in his hand and respectfully bowed again to the phantom image.
"This junior, Qing Xuan, greets Great God Pangu."
"This junior unintentionally obtained Great God Pangu's inheritance, I beg for Great God Pangu's forgiveness."
Pangu's phantom image smiled indifferently.
"This is your destiny. I am merely a wisp of a phantom image about to dissipate. I awakened upon sensing the aura of the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique."
"Encountering a successor as I am about to dissipate is also a form of destiny. Then, I shall grant you an opportunity. Watch carefully, learn well."
After speaking, the phantom image pointed a finger, and a stream of spiritual light entered Qing Xuan's Sea of Consciousness.
Qing Xuan froze on the spot, his Primordial Spirit seemingly transported to the moment of Heaven Opening.
He saw a giant wielding a great axe, continuously slashing in the dark Chaos.
Streams of axe light gradually split open the Chaos.
Countless beings with powerful auras slowly emerged, attempting to stop the giant's actions, but they were all slain by the giant's great axe.
Pangu seemed to sense something and glanced in Qing Xuan's direction.
Then, the movements of his axe became more rhythmic, each action imbued with some aspect of the Great Dao.
