Primordial Lord of Heaven Arrives

Gold could actually come from the purple pool!

He hurried forward to check the reward.

[Congratulations, Host. You drew a gold-tier reward and obtained the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art!]

Excitement surged through him.

It was actually the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art!

For Su Yang, if he wanted to grow stronger quickly, this was undoubtedly the most suitable cultivation art!

This art had been created specifically to make up for deficiencies in one's constitution. It could not only devour all the energy in the world to strengthen its user, but also seize other people's constitutions and enhance one's own!

In the original story, Ruthless Great Emperor had relied on this art to devour and evolve step by step, eventually becoming a Chaos Body and invincible beneath the heavens!

Now that Su Yang had also obtained the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, his heart was bursting with excitement!

In this lifetime, he had yet to begin cultivating and knew nothing about his own constitution.

But in his view, he was merely a mortal by birth. Even if his talent was exceptional, it would still be limited.

Now that he had the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, everything was different! He could constantly alter and strengthen his constitution!

In the Primordial World, one's talent and constitution were determined at birth and could never be changed.

That was precisely why countless mighty figures placed such great importance on one's roots!

One's roots determined one's future!

Primordial Lord of Heaven, one of the Three Pure Ones, valued pedigree above all else. If someone's aptitude was poor, he would not even spare them a second glance!

It could be said that in the Primordial World, one's roots determined everything!

And what were these so-called roots, if not talent and constitution?

Aside from those ancient mighty figures who were born with divine abilities, most living beings in the world came from extremely ordinary backgrounds.

Especially in the Earthly Immortal Realm. Since it was impossible to truly embark on the immortal path there, it had instead given rise to a cultivation system belonging to mortals!

Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit, Refining Spirit into Void, and Refining Void into Dao!

These four realms formed the fundamental path of cultivation in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Whether human or demon, all followed this path.

Now that Su Yang had obtained the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, his aptitude could gradually improve, and his cultivation speed would become as swift as a gale, soaring all the way!

His heart surged with excitement, and without hesitation, he committed the entire contents of the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art to memory.

After completely mastering the art, he immediately sat down cross-legged and began attempting to cultivate.

At that moment, inside Wa Huang Palace beyond the Chaos.

After Nuwa returned to the palace, she was arguing with Caiyun Boy about something.

"Empress, that 'Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin' must be fake. Storms rage throughout the Chaos, and the currents are violent. Even Grand Unity Golden Immortals would not dare remain there for long. Only quasi-saints and Saints can move freely within it."

"Something like that is simply impossible. Why trouble yourself over it, Empress?"

Nuwa, however, gently shook her head and slowly said, "The 'Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin' may not be mere fabrication. If it really were forged, that storyteller named Su Yang could not possibly bear such karma."

Hearing her say this, Caiyun Boy was rendered speechless.

At first, he had only wanted to accompany Nuwa to watch the excitement and listen to a story to pass the time.

Who would have thought that she would take it so seriously, developing a keen interest in the authenticity of the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin and the Ancient Starry Road, to the point of neglecting even her cultivation?

This gave Caiyun Boy a headache.

At that moment, Nuwa seemed to recall something. Her fingertip moved slightly as she began divining with her fingers.

A moment later, however, she narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a trace of surprise.

"The Earthly Immortal Realm... I actually can't find him?"

She looked somewhat stunned.

She was a Saint!

She possessed the cultivation of a Primal Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

Aside from the five mighty figures at her level and the Dao Ancestor who had long since united with the Dao, there should be no one else in the world capable of evading her divination!

Yet now, she could not even locate Su Yang. His origins were shrouded in fog, making them utterly impossible to discern!

"Interesting."

Interest surfaced in Nuwa's eyes. "I not only want to know the location of the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin and the Ancient Starry Road, I also want to know this man's identity."

To conceal his traces right beneath her nose, that storyteller from Qingshan City was clearly far from as simple as he appeared.

She simply did not know what sort of extraordinary person he was, or why he knew those little-known secrets.

A trace of anticipation rose in Nuwa's heart. She pondered that when Su Yang gave his next lecture, she would have to set out early, lest she miss any of the exciting parts.

She drew in a gentle breath and recalled the methods Su Yang had used while telling his story. He had made people feel as though they were actually present within it. Even an existence like her had unconsciously become immersed while listening!

"Empress, those are all made-up stories."

Caiyun Boy urged her helplessly, but Nuwa did not respond. She merely instructed him softly, "When Su Yang gives his next lecture, don't forget to call me."

"Senior Sister, where are you going?"

As they spoke, a voice came from the depths of the Chaos and reached Wa Huang Palace.

Nuwa's brows lifted slightly as she looked toward the person approaching through the Chaos, secretly wondering, Why has he suddenly appeared?

Even so, she did not think much of it. She slowly walked out of Wa Huang Palace to greet him and said calmly, "Senior Brother, what brings you to my Wa Huang Palace today?"

"Of course, I have an important matter on which I wish to consult Junior Sister."

The other party smiled as he answered, stroking his white beard with a composed expression.

"Then please come inside so we can discuss it in detail." Nuwa raised a hand in invitation and led him into the palace.

Inside the palace, Caiyun Boy and a young female attendant saw the newcomer and hurriedly bowed. "Greetings, Lord Primordial Beginning."

The newcomer was one of the Three Pure Ones, the master of the Elucidation Sect—Primordial Lord of Heaven.

"Bring the Dao Comprehension Tea I left here earlier."

Nuwa instructed Caiyun Boy.

"Yes, Empress."

Caiyun nodded, then turned and went inside to prepare the tea.

Nuwa turned back to Primordial Lord of Heaven and asked, "Senior Brother, what exactly brings you here today?"

Primordial Lord of Heaven chuckled and waved his hand. A projection of light appeared in the air.

Nuwa swept her gaze over it, and her expression immediately changed. A trace of chill flashed through her eyes.

The light screen showed a scene of her and Caiyun Boy listening to a story at the inn.

"Senior Brother, what are you trying to say?"

Her tone turned cold as she stared at Primordial Lord of Heaven, waiting for his response.

In the Primordial World, who besides a Saint had the ability to record a Saint's movements?

Now, Primordial Lord of Heaven had displayed her image before her eyes. Clearly, he had come prepared.

"Junior Sister, after the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, Teacher issued an order. Saints may not set foot in the Earthly Immortal Realm without permission, much less enter the Primordial World at will."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Primordial Lord of Heaven's voice. "You appear to have obeyed the order, but secretly came down to the lower realm and entered the Earthly Immortal Realm."

"If this matter reaches Teacher's ears, what do you think your future circumstances will be compared with Tongtian's?"

After hearing this, a faint smile appeared at the corners of Nuwa's lips, but a trace of coldness quietly flashed through her eyes.

Her mood was no longer calm.

Nuwa looked at Primordial Lord of Heaven and said calmly, with a hint of mockery in her voice, "I thought Senior Brother had come today to discuss some important matter. I never expected you to come here to pressure Junior Sister."

She gave a soft laugh, her eyes cold and sharp, then continued, "If Senior Brother insists on reporting this to Teacher, then please do as you wish."

At these words, Primordial Lord of Heaven's expression shifted slightly. He stared at Nuwa and said, "Nuwa, don't be so ungrateful."

Nuwa's expression did not change. She still replied indifferently, "And what of it? Could Senior Brother truly intend to fight me?"

As soon as her voice fell, a sharp aura suddenly erupted from Primordial Lord of Heaven's body!

The force shook the Chaos. Laozi, who was hidden within it, immediately opened his eyes. His gaze pierced through layer upon layer of Chaos and fixed directly on Wa Huang Palace.

Immediately afterward, Laozi's figure silently vanished and sped toward Wa Huang Palace.

At the same time, in the Western Outer Heaven, within Mahayana Buddhism—

Because of the operation of the Heavenly Dao, Buddhism was currently flourishing. Thus, the two Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, had not gone far from the Primordial World.

The two sensed the sudden disturbance in Wa Huang Palace, and their expressions instantly grew solemn.

Zhunti looked at Jieyin and asked in a low voice, "Elder Brother, should we go take a look?"

Jieyin nodded slightly, his tone resolute. "We should."

Before his voice had even faded, the two figures had already disappeared, heading straight for the site of the incident.

In the depths of the Chaos, inside Zixiao Palace—

Hongjun sat upright on a meditation cushion, while Sect Master Tongtian cultivated in meditation with his eyes closed opposite him.

Suddenly, the Chaos trembled, and Primordial Lord of Heaven's aura spread outward, startling Sect Master Tongtian.

He opened his eyes and looked toward Wa Huang Palace, calling softly, "Teacher..."

Hongjun slowly opened his eyes. His pupils were devoid of emotion. At this moment, he was already the Dao Incarnation, completely united with the Heavenly Dao, without the slightest trace of emotional fluctuation.

Sensing Tongtian's confusion, Hongjun gently closed his eyes and said indifferently, "Do not interfere."

Sect Master Tongtian could only let out a sigh. His gaze passed through the Chaos and landed on the two figures confronting each other inside Wa Huang Palace.

He thought silently, Is Elder Brother Yuanshi stirring up trouble again?

Inside Wa Huang Palace, Nuwa watched the pressure spreading around Primordial Lord of Heaven. Her expression grew increasingly cold as she said, "Senior Brother, this is my residence. What exactly are you trying to do?"

As she spoke, she too slowly released the might of a Saint.

In an instant, the two Saints revealed their auras, and the entire Wa Huang Palace began to shake violently!

Chaos Qi surged without end, and a storm was about to take shape!

Under such power, even Grand Unity Golden Immortals could only retreat far away.

Yet the two Saints stood unmoving, their auras resisting each other, neither able to gain the upper hand.

They were both Saints. Neither was inferior to the other.

Seeing this, Primordial Lord of Heaven's expression darkened, and he was secretly startled. When did Nuwa become so forceful?

Provoke a conflict between Saints?

Primordial Lord of Heaven naturally had no such intention.

To him, if a battle between Saints truly erupted at this moment, the consequences would be extremely serious.

He might even be given an excuse by Hongjun and locked inside Zixiao Palace together with the others, losing his freedom.

Seeing the aura surge within Nuwa's body, Primordial Beginning's expression changed slightly. He then restrained his own pressure.

Seeing Primordial Beginning withdraw his aura, Nuwa said, "If Senior Brother has nothing else, please return."

"Caiyun, put down the Dao Comprehension Tea and see our guest out. Senior Brother isn't accustomed to this sort of beverage."

With that, she turned and was about to return to Wa Huang Palace.

However, at that moment, three more figures appeared in the Chaos. Their auras were clear, drawing Nuwa's attention.

She slightly furrowed her brows and thought to herself, Could these people have nothing better to do and come here specifically to interfere?

"Brother Yuanshi, it has been a long time."

The two Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, bowed to Primordial Lord of Heaven and spoke in calm tones.

"Fellow Daoists, I trust you have been well."

Primordial Lord of Heaven returned the greeting.

"Yuanshi, what brings you to Wa Huang Palace?"

Grand Pure Laozi looked at Primordial Lord of Heaven and asked with slight puzzlement.

Primordial Lord of Heaven appeared somewhat displeased at this, but still replied, "Elder Brother, why must you be so aggressive? Junior Sister and I were merely discussing some matters. We simply failed to reach an agreement."
