The Great Wilderness knew no years.

Time slowly slipped by.

Within the Boundless Chaos, Primordial Lord and Zhenyuanzi sat in quiet meditation. Endless chaotic energy intertwined around them. Looking closer, one could discover that a world seemed to be gestating within it!

Creating a world and reassembling Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind was exceedingly simple for a Saint.

But for a Quasi-Saint, it was incredibly difficult.

Although Primordial Lord was assisting him, Zhenyuanzi was the one directing the creation of the Earth Immortal Realm, which was why progress was so slow.

Now, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of years had hurried past.

Zhuanxu of the human race abdicated, and Diku descended into the world. True Person Yuding went to the human race to teach Diku.

Everything developed steadily.

Yet on this day, tremendous upheaval manifested within the Boundless Chaos.

Blazing divine light burst forth, illuminating the myriad heavens and worlds.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion caused the boundless Chaos to tremble.

Within the Chaos, ancient lifeforms sensed it. All were disturbed by the commotion and slightly opened their eyes, wanting to see what had happened.

But soon, they all sensed a tremendous forbidden aura from the source and hurriedly dared not look directly at it.

A new world had been created!

The Earth Immortal Realm!

As this world was created, Heaven and Earth sensed it in the unseen realm. Boundless merit descended, transforming into acres of golden clouds of merit that manifested and merged into Zhenyuanzi's body.

"Thank you for your assistance, Sect Master!"

Feeling the boundless merit within him, Zhenyuanzi knew that if he refined all this Heavenly Dao Merit, his strength would certainly rise another level!

Naturally, he had not forgotten Primordial Lord's assistance. Without Primordial Lord, he would not be where he was today.

Now, he had completely acknowledged his identity as a member of the Chan Sect.

A smile appeared on Primordial Lord's face. "This is your own opportunity. I merely added flowers to brocade."

After saying this, he left directly and returned to the Chan Sect.

He could clearly sense that after Zhenyuanzi became one of the Chan Sect's Deputy Sect Masters and created the Earth Immortal Realm, the Chan Sect's fortune had surged along with it, completely suppressing the other great sects!

It had already become the undisputed number one sect in the Great Wilderness!

Watching Primordial Lord's departing figure, Zhenyuanzi could not help sighing. "As expected of the Jade Purity Saint. He takes no pride in his achievements. Such a realm is truly beyond my reach."

He did not go directly to Kunlun. Instead, he first returned to Wuzhuang Temple and moved the Ginseng Fruit Tree away. Now that the Chan Sect was flourishing, cultivating there for one day was far better than cultivating in other Cave Heaven Blessed Lands for a hundred days.

Moreover, he was the Chan Sect's Deputy Sect Master, so he naturally had to go to the Chan Sect to cultivate.

When the Interception Sect's fortune surged, it naturally caused quite a stir. In particular, the creation of the Earth Immortal Realm and the descent of endless Heavenly Dao Merit stirred countless immortals in the unseen realm.

"Zhenyuanzi actually created the Earth Immortal Realm!"

In the Netherworld Sea of Blood, Ancestor Minghe gazed into the Boundless Chaos, envy flickering in his eyes.

The creation of the Earth Immortal Realm would inevitably bring boundless merit. Zhenyuanzi was likely about to advance yet again.

"Zhenyuanzi created the Earth Immortal Realm. Why has the Chan Sect's fortune surged so much?"

Beside Ancestor Minghe,

Daoist Mosquito had a graceful figure, with surging blood energy around her and an even denser aura of ferocity.

She had transformed from the primordial savage beast, the Blood-winged Black Mosquito!

At this moment, she stared toward the Chan Sect in utter confusion.

What connection did Zhenyuanzi creating the Earth Immortal Realm have with the Chan Sect?

Ancestor Minghe's brows twitched slightly as he performed a deduction. Then, a look of astonishment appeared on his eternally unchanging face. "Zhenyuanzi actually joined the Chan Sect!"

Zhenyuanzi was one of the most ancient Quasi-Saints in the Great Wilderness and one of the three thousand guests of the Purple Cloud Palace.

He had always avoided worldly struggles. Yet now, he had actually joined the Chan Sect!

With Zhenyuanzi joining the Chan Sect and creating the Earth Immortal Realm, the Chan Sect, though it had not said so openly, was now unquestionably the true number one sect in the Great Wilderness!

"Daoist Primordial Lord truly has remarkable methods. He has now drawn Zhenyuanzi into the sect as well. Who knows what Daoist Primordial Lord intends to do in the future!"

Deep within the cycle of reincarnation,

Houtu was breathtakingly beautiful. The Earthly Dao Divine Wheel behind her shone brilliantly, radiating dense reincarnation Dao Rhyme.

She looked toward the Chan Sect, both startled and relieved.

What startled her was that Zhenyuanzi, who had always avoided contention, had actually become a member of the Chan Sect.

One had to know that Zhenyuanzi had always hidden himself from the world and avoided conflict.

Had Zhenyuanzi ever appeared during any of the countless cataclysms in the Great Wilderness?

What puzzled her was that the Chan Sect was now so prosperous, while the Five Emperors had yet to reach their end and the human race still held opportunities to pursue. Yet Primordial Lord was still recruiting allies and accumulating strength.

Could it truly be only to oppose the countless cataclysms?

With such foundations, let alone resisting the countless cataclysms, no sect in the entire Great Wilderness could stop the Three Pure Ones' sects now. They could already sweep across the Great Wilderness, invincible against all opposition!

What relieved her was that she had become one of Primordial Lord's allies long ago.

The stronger the Chan Sect became, the more confidence she would have in the future when she established the Earthly Dao and broke through Heaven's Dao's restrictions!

"This Zhenyuanzi refused to come to our Western Teachings, yet he joined the Chan Sect instead!"

In the deepest reaches of Western Heaven, Zhunti looked at the Chan Sect, whose fortune had surged yet again, his eyes burning with envy.

After the Western Teachings' fortune had been severed, he had naturally considered ways to remedy the situation: inviting great figures of the Great Wilderness to join the Western Teachings.

As an old-established Quasi-Saint of the Great Wilderness, Zhenyuanzi had naturally been among those he invited.

The result had been entirely unsurprising.

Zhenyuanzi had rejected him on the grounds that he did not wish to participate in sectarian struggles.

Now it seemed that "not wishing to participate in sectarian struggles" was simply an excuse. He looked down on our Western Teachings!

"Junior Brother, do not lose your temper. Although Zhenyuanzi has joined the Chan Sect and the Chan Sect's fortune has surged, I have also discovered an opportunity. If this person is used properly, perhaps he can drive a wedge between Tongtian and Primordial Lord!"

"Of course, I understand that we cannot act rashly for now. We still need to observe whether this person can be of use to our Western Teachings."

Jieyin smiled without saying anything.

Even if the Chan Sect was flourishing now, should the Three Pure Ones fight once more, their fortunes would still wear each other down. Thus, everything depended on how harmonious the relationship among the Three Pure Ones truly was!

And the person Jieyin had taken an interest in was none other than Chang'er Dingguang Xian of the Interception Sect!

At this moment, Dingguang Xian stood outside the Jade Palace, looking at the flourishing Chan Sect with indignation. "The mere Chan Sect! If Master had not strictly forbidden us from fighting with the Chan Sect's disciples, how could the Chan Sect have reached such a state?"

He was deeply dissatisfied.

In the past, the Interception Sect and the Chan Sect had often clashed. He had hoped to suppress the Chan Sect's disciples and make Sovereign Lord of the Heavens look upon him favorably, thereby promoting him to the status of a personal disciple.

One had to know that although he was one of the Interception Sect's Seven Attendant Immortals and held a lofty position in ordinary people's eyes, he knew that the gap between an attendant and a personal disciple was enormous.

Moreover, the Three Xiaos, who had joined the sect later than him, could become personal disciples. Why could he not?!

That was why he had always sought to distinguish himself before Sovereign Lord of the Heavens. As for the method, it was naturally to suppress the Chan Sect's disciples, who had always looked down on the Interception Sect.

But now, Tongtian had ordered that his disciples were not allowed to provoke the Chan Sect's disciples first. Moreover, the Chan Sect's disciples were different from before and no longer confronted the Interception Sect's disciples at every turn, showing an attitude of reconciliation.

This made the resentment in his heart even stronger.

"If the disciples of the Interception Sect and the Chan Sect make peace, how am I supposed to distinguish myself?"

Dingguang Xian looked at the Jade Palace, already making plans in his heart.

He absolutely could not let the Interception Sect and the Chan Sect make peace!

Only if the two sects resumed their conflict could he distinguish himself before Master!
