Boom, boom, boom!!!
Dao sounds rang out in unison, and dense Spiritual Qi descended from the Floating Island, nourishing the vast Chan Sect.
In an instant, every disciple could clearly feel that the Spiritual Qi within the Chan Sect's territory had grown dozens of times denser!
Not only that, but rich Dao Rhyme intertwined throughout the area. The obscure and incomprehensible Dao Rhyme of the past now seemed to be freely comprehensible.
The entire Chan Sect underwent an astonishing transformation. Even the most ordinary location had Spiritual Qi denser than any Cave Heaven Blessed Land in the Great Wilderness.
Meditating for one day was now far better than meditating for dozens of days before!
It was not only the Spiritual Qi that had improved. If a powerful expert proficient in the art of qi observation peered into the Chan Sect, they would discover that with the appearance of the Floating Island, the Chan Sect's destiny had risen dramatically as well!
Countless disciples were shaken and awakened from their cultivation, wanting to see what had happened within the Chan Sect.
When everyone saw the Floating Island stretching across the sky above the Chan Sect, their gazes came to a halt.
They saw a massive island suspended in the air.
The Spiritual Qi upon it was so dense that it had liquefied and poured downward.
The instant it fell into the void, it transformed into dense Spiritual Qi, forming a visible vaporization effect that nourished the Chan Sect.
Daoist Randeng, Immortal Weng of the South Pole, and the Twelve Golden Immortals successively landed on the Floating Island. Seeing Primordial Lord of Heaven standing at one corner of the island, they all went over.
"Your disciple pays respects to Master. May I ask, Master, is the thing deep within this island a Chaos Spiritual Root?"
Ran Deng asked tentatively.
As the Deputy Sect Master of the Chan Sect and one of the three thousand guests of Purple Cloud Palace in the past, he was highly knowledgeable.
But this many Chaos Spiritual Roots still shocked him too deeply, and for a moment, he did not dare confirm it.
"That's right. The ones in the center are all Chaos Spiritual Roots."
"As for the other spiritual roots, they are all Innate Spiritual Roots."
Primordial Lord nodded without hiding anything.
"What? The ones in the center are all Chaos Spiritual Roots?!"
"Hiss! Even the weakest spiritual root on the entire island is actually an Innate Spiritual Root!"
Everyone drew in a sharp breath.
One had to know that there were at least dozens of Chaos Spiritual Roots in the central area.
And that was without even mentioning the tens of thousands of Innate Spiritual Roots surrounding them.
There were simply too many spiritual roots.
Even before the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, perhaps no one had ever seen so many. Not to mention that even the Witch-Demon Calamity had already passed, with countless spiritual roots becoming claimed by others or vanishing in one immeasurable calamity after another.
The many disciples stared at Primordial Lord of Heaven, their shock almost materializing in their eyes.
With so many spiritual roots, Master must have dug straight into a nest of them!
Primordial Lord ignored everyone's shock. Pointing at one of the Chaos Spiritual Roots, he said, "For example, that tree is called the Chaos Enlightenment Tree. It currently covers the entire Chan Sect."
"As long as one comprehends the Great Dao within the range covered by the Chaos Enlightenment Tree, the effect will be tenfold. In other words, things that could not originally be understood can be comprehended as long as one is within the range covered by the Chaos Enlightenment Tree."
"Hiss!"
Everyone drew in a sharp breath together.
"A tenfold effect? Doesn't that make it even more powerful than the legendary Enlightenment Tea?"
True Person Huanglong found it unbelievable.
Primordial Lord immediately laughed. "Enlightenment Tea? What does Enlightenment Tea count for? In front of the Chaos Enlightenment Tree, it is worthless!"
"From now on, this Floating Island shall be the forbidden ground of our Chan Sect. Without my order, anyone who enters without authorization will be killed!"
Primordial Lord's voice was cold.
Afterward, he laid down layer upon layer of restrictions throughout the island.
Now, this Floating Island could already be considered one of the foundations of the entire Chan Sect. It could not be allowed to suffer any mishap.
The many disciples also knew how important the Floating Island was to the Chan Sect. They immediately cupped their fists and said, "This disciple will protect it even at the cost of my life!"
"Mm. You may all withdraw."
Primordial Lord nodded. After sending the many disciples away, he returned to Jade Void Palace.
He continued cultivating.
No matter what happened, his own strength would always come first.
Under the leadership of Fuxi Clan, the human race rose with renewed vigor.
Although its population was now less than one ten-thousandth of what it had been before the Demon Race slaughtered the humans, and its numbers were still small,
its prosperity was already just around the corner.
Just as the human race was flourishing, an infant was born in one of its tribes.
At the moment of the infant's birth, the winds and clouds shifted, heaven and earth changed, and the earth shook as mountains swayed.
A mountain peak turned to flying ash amid the shaking earth and swaying mountains.
Then countless auspicious beasts came to the door to offer their congratulations, while auspicious cranes flew through the sky in celebration.
Above the firmament, clouds of good fortune gathered and refused to disperse.
Thus, this infant was given the name Lie Shan Clan.
Lie Shan Clan's birth, like that of Fuxi Clan, was accompanied by manifested celestial and terrestrial omens.
Countless human tribes spread the news far and wide.
At that moment, beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, in Eight Sceneries Palace,
Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality awoke from his cultivation. He received a heavenly revelation in the unseen, and then ordered his eldest disciple, Xuandu, to go to the human race and accept Lie Shan Clan as his disciple.
"Another Human Emperor has fallen under the tutelage of the Three Pure Ones. Our Western Teachings are suffering!"
"Especially that Chan Sect. Its destiny is soaring to the heavens. Compared to it, our Western Teachings are far too weak. In the future, catching up to the Chan Sect will probably be impossible."
In the deepest reaches of Western Heaven,
Zhunti and Jieyin watched this scene, their teeth grinding audibly.
Ever since returning from the human tribes, they had begun paying attention to the Chan Sect's destiny.
Now, they could sense that the Chan Sect's destiny was undergoing a tremendous increase.
This left him both envious and jealous.
His Western Teachings were now far behind the Chan Sect.
In the future, they might not even have a chance to catch up.
One had to know that of the eight positions of Sage Teacher, they had not obtained even one. Previously, when they had followed the Dao Ancestor's decree and gone to bring Fuxi to Fire Cloud Cave, they had even been brutally beaten by the Three Pure Ones.
Not only had their physical bodies been destroyed, but Primordial Lord had extorted them as well, directly taking away six Innate Spiritual Roots.
Those were six Innate Spiritual Roots!
The already impoverished Western Heaven had suffered yet another blow, to the point that even its foundations had been shaken!
Now, the second Human Emperor had descended into the world and had become another opportunity for the Three Pure Ones, leaving no connection with the West. This made the two even more unwilling to accept it.
Jieyin's face was filled with misery. His eyes flickered as if he were recalling the distant years, filled with emotion.
"Junior Brother, our Buddhist Gate has not had an easy journey!"
"We originally rose after the Dragon-Han Tribulation and were destined to flourish. Who could have expected that Demon Ancestor Rahu would destroy our Buddhist Gate's pure land and the holy land of the bodhisattvas, leaving our countless Buddhist followers suffering unbearably!"
"Then, under such difficult circumstances, we encountered the Witch-Demon War, and our Buddhist Gate could not gain the slightest advantage!"
"We thought that when the human race flourished, we could obtain some benefit from the positions of the three Human Emperors' Sage Teachers. Unfortunately, the Three Pure Ones were heartless."
"They seized our Western Sage Teacher positions and extorted the West. It was simply unbearable!"
Zhunti's expression was also gloomy.
Their West had truly endured too much along the way!
"Senior Brother, our West has suffered so much through these years. I wonder when such days will finally end..."
His gaze was deep. Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped.
His originally gloomy expression suddenly revealed a trace of wild joy.
"Senior Brother, we have an opportunity!"
"I inadvertently peered into the heavenly secrets just now and learned that in the future, Earth Emperor Shennong Clan will have a daughter named Nüwa, whose destiny holds a tribulation!"
"Our Western Teachings may be able to scheme over this matter!"
