Chapter 15

This mountain reached the heavens and touched the earth. Revered as the progenitor of the boundless Dragon Veins of the Primordial Wilderness, it was the source of Chaos Spiritual Qi conversion and undoubtedly the center of the Primordial World.

Do not assume that Buzhou Mountain was merely an ordinary mountain.

It continued to draw in Chaos Spiritual Qi, providing Innate Spiritual Mechanism for the entire Primordial World.

Its towering body pierced through the nine layers of the great realms and their highest heavens, extending deep into the Chaos Void Universe.

Every moment, one could feel Buzhou Mountain continuing to rise.

Surrounding the divine mountain were countless great realms. They constantly evolved and perished, converging into a boundless ring of the cosmos.

The summit was forever shrouded in chaos, and no one had ever seen its true form.

The height of Buzhou Mountain could not be described in words.

Below it, layer upon layer of divine mountains formed from earth veins spread outward. These earth veins sustained the Ancestral Qi and spiritual mechanisms of the entire Primordial World. They were the Primordial World's greatest treasures, possessing boundless might.

With every passing instant, the entire Primordial World expanded and grew alongside Buzhou Mountain.

The earth veins devoured Chaos Turbid Qi and released pure Chaos Spiritual Qi, causing the Primordial World to grow increasingly vast.

As long as Buzhou Mountain existed, the resources of the Primordial World would grow ever richer, and the realms of the Innate Divine Beings would grow ever stronger.

As he drew closer and closer to Buzhou Mountain, Tai Ming felt a powerful will crushing down upon him.

Even though he had already reached the realm of an Immortal Venerable God, ordinary living beings would still find it impossible to take even a single step here.

They could only watch helplessly as Buzhou Mountain moved farther and farther away from them.

After three thousand six hundred Yuan Hui, Tai Ming stood at the source where Buzhou Mountain had formed, his face filled with reverence.

The surrounding environment looked desolate, yet it was saturated with Pangu's pressure and the chaotic Great Dao Spiritual Mechanisms.

The worlds of various sizes surrounding the mountain constantly appeared and vanished like breaths. Their sheer number made Buzhou Mountain seem wrapped in clouds and mist.

After passing through several immeasurable spacetime eras, the myriad things created when Pangu created Heaven and Earth had endured for an ancient age.

Buzhou Mountain bore Pangu's boundless will. As the years passed, that will had not weakened in the slightest.

Even the Chaos Demon Gods of old would have been unable to withstand Pangu's might, even if they joined forces.

Tai Ming was filled with amazement at Pangu's great power. Yet he did not stop because of it, continuing to challenge Buzhou Mountain.

The instant he stepped onto the divine mountain, the pressure of Pangu's Will crashed down like a mountain upon his head.

Tai Ming immediately mobilized the Power of the Great Dao, his Innate Spiritual Mechanism and Innate Dao Qi, his Immortal Blood Essence, and his immense Ghost Dao Ancestral Qi Spiritual Light to resist it.

At the same time, he resolutely revealed his Dao Heart Will, facing all the negative emotions head-on. He knew full well that this was an unavoidable path of self-tempering.

After tens of thousands of years of cultivation, Tai Ming's figure was as frail as a guttering candle in the wind, but his will was incomparably resilient.

As time passed, his mental will gradually bloomed with radiance under Buzhou Mountain's trials, like a lighthouse amid a storm, and like a volcanic mountain of molten fire yet to erupt, tenaciously resisting the baptism of Pangu's Will.

After ten thousand Yuan Hui, Tai Ming had crossed beyond the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

At this moment, his will was as pure as the bright moon, and he had learned to restrain its radiance.

His Dao Heart Will had materialized, translucent like the bright moon.

The surrounding Pangu's Will was like a Chaos Yin-Yang Mill, grinding apart everything tangible and intangible.

Tai Ming's Dao Heart was as steady as a boulder. No matter how the winds and clouds changed, he remained unmoved ** .

After fifty thousand Yuan Hui, Tai Ming seemed to be carrying an ancient divine mountain on his back. Every step forward felt like trudging under a heavy burden.

At this point, the spiritual radiance of his Dao Heart Will had been compressed to its limit, transforming into a divine disc of will that revolved behind his head.

Pangu's Will was like a Chaos Divine Mountain, seeking to suppress him completely.

At this stage, Tai Ming was already nearing his limit.

"Is this my limit? It seems I have not even reached the waist of Buzhou Mountain."

He asked himself.

The sense of inferiority buried deep within his heart suddenly erupted. Dark divine patterns appeared within his originally brilliant divine light of will.

His mind was filled with the voices of countless heavenly demons. His past origins had left a profound mark on him—the stark contrast between an ant and an Innate Divine Being was branded deep within his soul.

Every lifeform possessed a survival instinct rooted in its life origin. Tai Ming yearned to transform into an Innate Divine Being.

His Inner Demon erupted. His face instantly paled, and the spiritual radiance of his Dao Heart Will flickered as though it were about to be extinguished by Pangu's Will.

The voice of the Inner Demon ceaselessly corroded him: "Fall into depravity. Give up.

You are merely a mortal ant. Even if you transform into an Innate Divine Being, your essence will not change."

All kinds of negative emotions filled his mind, as though the entire world was urging him to give up.

Yet Tai Ming knew that these were merely the words of the Inner Demon—and, at the same time, his innermost and most genuine thoughts.

Under the Inner Demon's assault, he sank into deep struggle and contemplation.

Tai Ming faced calamity after calamity. Even the Heart of the Earthly Path within him seemed to sense his predicament and prepared to lend him a hand.

At this critical moment, the divine ring of his Dao Heart Will shattered instantly. A particle of will resembling a black hole emerged, devouring all the wills around it—including the brilliant will, the boulder-like will, and the Inner Demon that had been running rampant in Tai Ming's mind.

He muttered to himself, "Whether I am a mortal or an Innate Divine Being, the core is always myself.

"My Dao Heart is the persistence that will never waver, no matter how much turmoil exists in the outside world or how many tribulations I encounter.

"My Dao Heart was already nurtured when I first came into being."

At this moment, Tai Ming's Dao Heart Will was firmer than ever before, transforming into a tangible Will Abyss. Any existence that tried to interfere with him would be devoured and become nourishment for the growth of his Dao Heart.

This Will Abyss was comparable to an supreme divine ability of will.

Having comprehended all this, Tai Ming finally saw his truest self, and the surrounding heaven and earth of the Primordial World became as clear as if dust had been brushed away.

He reached out his hand, as though he wanted to grasp his Dao Heart and the Great Dao.

Even I had not expected that the transformation of your Dao Heart could rise to the outstanding level among the Grand Unity Venerable Gods.

You brat, you truly possess the talent to rank among the extraordinary.

After undergoing the baptism of Pangu's Will on Buzhou Mountain, you, Tai Ming, now possessed the potential of a Top-grade Innate Divine Being.

But when faced with Buzhou Mountain, which was like a heavenly chasm, you did not force the matter. You calmly accepted the current situation and stored your supremely refined Dao Heart within your Nascent Soul.

You smiled and announced that you had climbed this far for now, but next time you would surely explore the secrets of a higher level.

In the Hun Ming Mountain Range of the northern Primordial Wilderness, a Nine-Colored Divine Light shot through the sky, drawing the attention of countless cultivators.

An Innate Spiritual Treasure had appeared, and countless living beings rushed to gather.

Dao Sounds lingered in the void as Immortal Venerable Gods descended one after another.

In a short time, tens of thousands of Primordial Wilderness cultivators had gathered nearby.

Among them, three famous Innate Divine Beings—You Quan, Divine Zi Xu, and another Azure Figure—were particularly eye-catching.

Divine Zi Xu's provocation of You Quan drew everyone's attention.

But You Quan did not back down. His reply revealed the deep grudge between them.

Their conversation was filled with intense conflict and tension.

"Today, fellow Daoists of the Xuanwu Clan have gathered here. An Innate Spiritual Treasure has happened to appear, so let us use this opportunity to settle our old grudges."

During their verbal clash, the identity of the Ancestor of Molten Rock Turtle, the Innate Divine Being of the Xuanwu Clan—Molten Mountain Daoist—was revealed beyond doubt.

His former identity had been that of an Innate Divine Being of the Netherworld branch of the Earthly Dao Lineage. Although he had achieved the Taiyi Realm, he had emerged too late and missed the era of the former Earth Emperor.

Now, the Five Directions Divine Race ruled the Primordial Wilderness, while the Xuanwu Clan controlled its northern region.

The old grudges between people like us from this new era are precisely what the Five Directions Divine Race seeks to suppress.

"Today, Daoist Zi Xu and I will join forces and use you as a stepping stone to help us embark on the Taiyi Path!"

Immediately afterward, Daoist Zi Xu and Molten Mountain Daoist activated the Houtian Magic Treasures One Mirror, One Mountain and launched an attack on You Quan.

Seeing this, You Quan knew he could not evade. Within the surrounding Hun Ming Mountain Range, the spiritual radiance of Innate Dao Qi and magic power danced wildly, and the nearby rogue cultivators and mountains were also affected.

At this moment, the Innate Undying Spiritual Light in the distant Hun Ming Mountain Range fully revealed itself, attracting You Quan's attention.

Daoist Zi Xu seized the opportunity to launch a successful sneak attack.

Daoist Zi Xu mocked, "You Quan, you have your day too."

He had seen through the fact that You Quan had discovered and begun refining the spiritual treasure before it emerged. He now sneered, "Do you think Molten Mountain and I just happened to appear here?"

In the Primordial World, cultivation realm was certainly important, but inherited foundations, spiritual treasures, and divine abilities were indispensable as well.

Although You Quan's realm was higher, as a rogue cultivator, he had no spiritual treasure, no divine ability, and no inheritance. His strength was therefore greatly reduced.

Faced with Daoist Zi Xu's smugness, You Quan's eyes were filled with unwillingness.

He had finally discovered an Innate Spiritual Treasure Embryo, only to encounter a life-and-death calamity before the treasure could even emerge.

You Quan snorted coldly, "Enough nonsense.

"If my Earthly Dao Lineage had not remained hidden, how could it be your turn to act so arrogantly here today?"

He resolved to fight to the death and would not surrender meekly.

In the vast and boundless northern lands of the Primordial Wilderness, Tai Ming's figure suddenly appeared.

After undergoing the baptism of the Buzhou Mountain Range, his will had undergone an unprecedented sublimation, far surpassing his current realm.

As he explored deeper into the lands of the Primordial Wilderness, his powerful will constantly accelerated his cultivation. He could even gain sudden flashes of insight into the Ghost Dao merely by walking.

In just a few thousand Yuan Hui, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds like a rocket, rising from the initial stage of the Immortal Venerable God realm to the late stage he had now reached.

At a certain moment, he sensed a faint attraction coming from afar.

As an Innate Divine Being born from the Netherworld and acknowledged by the will of the Netherworld, Tai Ming immediately realized that this was a fluctuation in the fortune of the Earthly Dao.

The Heart of the Earthly Path explained to him that, as an existence acknowledged by the Netherworld and the Heart of the Earthly Path, he naturally belonged to the Earthly Dao Lineage.

He had previously encountered no other Innate Divine Beings who could trigger fluctuations in the fortune of the Earthly Dao, so this disturbance in its fortune drew particular attention.

Following the attraction, he arrived at the Hun Ming Mountain Range and saw the scene of Daoist You Quan being surrounded and attacked.

Seeing this, the Heart of the Earthly Path within Tai Ming could not help crying out in alarm, unable to understand how the Earthly Dao Lineage's situation in the Primordial Wilderness had become so miserable.

A Daoist You Quan of the Taiyi Realm was actually unable to defeat two Immortal Venerable Gods. It could not accept this.

Thus, it urged Tai Ming to hurry and save Daoist You Quan, so they could understand the Earthly Dao Lineage's ** in the Primordial Wilderness.

At this moment, the Heart of the Earthly Path desperately wanted to end this farce and investigate the current state of the Earthly Dao Lineage.

Tai Ming was also eager to try, preparing to investigate the matter's ** .

Tai Ming gazed at Daoist You Quan and Daoist Zi Xu on the battlefield, his heart utterly unmoved.

Even if Daoist You Quan of old had lost all his cultivation, Tai Ming still regarded him as a powerhouse of the Taiyi level.

As for the two Immortal Venerable Gods, Daoist Zi Xu and the other, he did not feel that they posed any threat.

At this moment, he had been looking for an opponent to test his strength against. The scene before him happened to give him a chance to stretch his limbs.

Thus, Tai Ming stepped onto the battlefield.

The moment Daoist Zi Xu saw him, along with the unmistakable characteristics of the fortune of the Earthly Dao Lineage, his expression changed drastically.

He had just been about to speak when a dark Ghost Dao law swept over him.

Tai Ming said coldly, "You bullied someone from my Earthly Dao Lineage, and now someone is unhappy.

"No need for more words. Just accept your death!"

As he spoke, Ghost Dao power emerged from his body, and top-tier laws such as yin and yang, life and death, and reincarnation arose upon the Ghost Dao.

Daoist Zi Xu and Molten Mountain Daoist had only enough time to drive their Houtian Magic Treasures forward to block.

However, the two treasures were instantly corroded by the power of the Ghost Dao.

"How could this be?"

Daoist Zi Xu and Molten Mountain Daoist were both horrified. "A Dao Opener? You are actually an entirely new Dao Opener?"

They looked as though they had witnessed something utterly unbelievable.

Seeing the terror on the faces of the two Innate Divine Beings, Tai Ming decided to press his advantage and unleash his strongest divine ability, the Will Abyss.
