Chapter 50

This showed that although Shen Ji had not broken through to the twelfth level of the Grand Unity Dao Realm like Tai Ming, he had still reached the tenth level.

This gave even the Grand Unity experts who had once witnessed Tai Ming's breakthrough a feeling that they could no longer keep up with the times.

As the functions of the Virtual Primordial World gradually opened, more and more Primordial Beings chose to cultivate, relax, and battle there.

The real Primordial World, by contrast, fell into widespread silence.

However, the real Primordial World was the foundation of all Primordial Beings. Before long, most of them still returned to reality and continued making their arrangements.

For the Primordial World, the emergence of the Virtual Primordial teleportation platform also brought about increased interregional communication.

And the price the beings paid for this gave rise to a new thing—currency.

At first, Shen Ji had created this platform only to open a convenient passage into the Primordial World for the Ghost Clan of his elder brother's Netherworld.

But inspired by Tai Ming, Shen Ji directly opened the platform to all beings.

Shen Ji provided paid teleportation services and soon received payment in all kinds of spiritual objects.

Some of the strange items were so unusual that even Shen Ji could not determine their value.

Thus, Shen Ji decided to establish a Currency Exchange Center beside the teleportation platform in the Virtual Primordial World.

This immediately caused the currency system of the Virtual Primordial World to flourish.

Many Primordial Beings had also wanted to trade, but they had previously lacked a suitable platform and method.

In the past, because it was difficult to define the value of items, situations often arose in which the strong plundered the resources of the weak.

Now, the emergence of the Virtual Primordial World had solved this problem. By clearly pricing items with virtual Primordial currency, it enabled equivalent exchanges and made everyone feel that things were fair.

Although the teleportation services for beings did not become overwhelmingly popular, the logistics and currency systems of the Virtual Primordial World were quickly born.

The vast majority of Primordial Beings possessed large quantities of unused spiritual treasures, spiritual materials, and the like. The emergence of this system gave rise to countless trades.

All kinds of resources were redistributed and fell into the hands of various Primordial Beings.

In addition, those who had ability but lacked resources began a craze for the Postnatal Auxiliary Great Dao.

Artifact-refining services, alchemy services, formation services, and the like—these Great Daos, which had originally been unpopular, suddenly became hot.

Shen Ji's breakthrough seemed to ignite the enthusiasm of all beings. Although the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws had not increased significantly, the cultivation of the Postnatal Great Dao became increasingly diverse.

The Origin Land of the Virtual Primordial World grew more and more complete as Shen Ji broke through and the world underwent tremendous changes.

Shen Ji, who had just broken through to the tenth level of the Grand Unity Dao Realm, exerted an increasingly profound influence on the entire Virtual Primordial World.

Shen Ji consolidated his cultivation in a short time, and his realm continued to rise.

Before long, he estimated that he would be able to break through to the eleventh level of the Dao Realm and become a Grand Unity expert.

At this moment, Shen Ji had cultivated the Grand Unity Dao Realm to the point where it resembled the Virtual Heavenly Dao. His growth was just like that of the Heavenly Dao Saints spoken of in legend.

The growth of the Virtual Heavenly Dao naturally drove Shen Ji's progress.

Although he was still absorbing the Dao rhythm of all living beings and was in an explosive stage, once the insights of the virtual beings had been extracted, the speed of this growth would gradually slow.

Even so, Shen Ji's cultivation ability remained extraordinarily unique, enough to make the Primordial Grand Unity experts green with envy.

As Shen Ji broke through, the Virtual Primordial World became more complete, and various systems appeared. He gained all kinds of unexpected benefits.

The most eye-catching was his destiny. It gathered together to form a Dragon of Destiny surrounded by a virtual Thirty-Six Colored Divine Light. Its scale even surpassed that of most established great powers.

Besides this, he also obtained a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—the Treasure Dropping Golden Coin.

This spiritual treasure represented the destiny of currency and trade. It could derive all the currencies currently found in the Primordial World.

As long as one was willing to expend one's own financial luck, one could even use it to bring down an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Of course, abusing the spiritual treasure and disrupting the currency system would also result in backlash.

But as the ultimate beneficiary, Shen Ji naturally had a way to deal with it.

Most importantly, Shen Ji's strength had increased.

At this moment, he sensed his powerful Grand Unity strength and finally revealed a satisfied smile.

Although he had currently reached only the tenth level of the Grand Unity Realm, he was confident that he would soon catch up to his elder brother's realm.

The core information was the creation and development of the Virtual Primordial World by Shen Ji, as well as the evolution of the Primordial forces.

The Virtual Primordial Shen Ji had already opened a sea of the Great Dao spanning Thirty-six Dao Realms, providing enormous assistance to his elder brother's cultivation.

Besides this, there was also a mysterious gift waiting for his elder brother.

Through the Virtual Origin Land, it seemed that he could see a place where Virtual Negative Energy was gathering. A mysterious life was slowly taking shape there.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of Yuan Hui passed. Because of the tremendous changes in the Virtual Primordial World, the Primordial World experienced a period of peaceful development.

The Five Directions Divine Race and the Three Sovereigns Dao Lineage were both searching for inheritors of the Ancient Three Sovereigns while actively recruiting the New Generation Prodigies.

As the most popular force in the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao Lineage remained firmly established despite Tai Ming's dazzling performance.

Dao Lord Hongjun's Immortal Dao Lineage attracted three thousand New Generation Prodigies, who became known as the Three Thousand Mortal Guests.

The Yin-Yang Ancestor opened the Five Great Yin-Yang Dao Lineages, while the Qiankun Ancestor established the Qian Kun Divine Dynasty, becoming the most populous branch of the Heavenly Dao Lineage.

The other Dao Lineages also displayed their own abilities.

Centered around the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Earthly Dao Lineage constructed a massive Ghost Domain network whose power was enough to make the other supreme Dao Lineages retreat.

The Five-Colored Human Race of the Human Dao Lineage spread and multiplied throughout the Primordial World. The Demi-human Race also grew rapidly, displaying the terror of overwhelming numbers.

With the breakthroughs of Ancestor Minghe and the others, as well as the occurrence of major events, even the Top Supreme Experts were full of admiration.

The continued development of the Virtual Primordial World under Shen Ji and the evolution of these forces together formed a magnificent picture of the Primordial World.

After a thousand years of reproduction, the groups of the Human Dao Lineage rapidly expanded.

Even though the probability of prodigies being born was extremely low, the power they gathered remained terrifying.

Among the many groups, the Three Sovereigns Dao Lineage and the Five Directions Divine Race were the most active.

However, the influence of the Five Directions Divine Race seemed to have declined somewhat.

The Dragon Clan acted first, forging the Innate Supreme Treasure Dragon Gate and merging it with all the water veins of the Primordial World, causing the bloodline of the Dragon Clan to spread throughout the Primordial World.

Any being could use the water veins to summon a projection of the Dragon Gate. After leaping over the Dragon Gate, they could enhance their Dragon Clan bloodline, becoming increasingly similar in form to the Ancestral Dragon and even gaining the aptitude of an Innate Divine Being.

In just a few tens of thousands of Yuan Hui, the number of dragons had surged to an immeasurable level.

To distinguish between the various Dragon Clans, Ancestral Dragon and the other Divine Lords divided them into many newly born Dragon Clans, such as the Nine-Colored Dragon Race.

The other members of the Five Directions Divine Race were unwilling to fall behind either.

The Phoenix Clan introduced Nirvana Power, allowing the beings of the Avian Lineage to join its force through nirvana.

The name Phoenix Offspring of Nine resounded throughout the Primordial World.

The Qilin Divine Race took the path of the Destiny Dynasty. Various Qilin subspecies, along with the Destiny Dynasties they supported, had spread throughout the Primordial World. The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races had broken free from the restraints of the Five Directions Divine Race and became known as the Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin Three Races.

However, the White Tiger Clan, which was also part of the Five Directions Divine Race, was suppressed by the Demonic Dao and gradually became demonized.

The Xuanwu Clan, because of its own habits and the laissez-faire attitude of its leader, fell into ** .

Some ambitious Xuanwu chose to submit to the powerful Dragon Clan, while those unsuited to life in the ocean returned to the Primordial land.

Thus, the Black Tortoise Divine Race gave people the impression that it was falling apart.

Despite this, no one dared to underestimate the Xuanwu Clan.

At the same time, the name of Kunpeng from the North Nether Palace lineage that had emerged in the north spread throughout the Primordial World.

The former glory of the Five Directions Divine Race had now led each of them down different paths.

Some had emerged in the new era, their ambitions to contend for supremacy in the Primordial World still intact. Some had been surrounded by conflict from the very beginning and were exhausted from dealing with schemes and struggles. Others had chosen to drift with the tide, regarding external battles as none of their concern.

Apart from the Three Sovereigns Dao Lineage and the Five Directions Divine Race, all the beings of the Primordial World were seeking development.

Some forces were surpassed by new ones, some chose to withdraw, new forces rose constantly, and others faded away in silence.

To gain a foothold and earn renown in the Primordial World, one needed at least Tai Yi-level battle power.

The divisions among the various groups became increasingly clear. Grand Unity experts were the standard for a First-Class Great Race or great force, while Tai Yi experts represented second-class, mid-tier forces. Those without a Tai Yi expert, supported only by an Immortal Venerable God, could barely maintain third-rate status.

Without an Immortal Venerable God, it was difficult to establish a foothold.

In the Primordial World, apart from these first-, second-, and third-class forces, there were also several universally acknowledged supreme top-tier great forces.

The Three Sovereigns Dao Lineage, the Five Directions Divine Race, and the five major Postnatal Dao Lineages of Immortal, Demon, Divine, Ghost, and Buddhist all belonged among them.

These forces could easily destroy ordinary Grand Unity groups.

Besides them, there was also the Virtual Primordial World Lineage of the Ghost Dao Lineage and Earthly Dao Lineage, the five major Dao Lineages of the Yin-Yang Ancestor under the Heavenly Dao Lineage, and the Qian Kun Divine Dynasty of the Qian Kun Daoist, among others.

But it seemed that one force had been forgotten—the Three Heavens of the former Realm of the Nine Heavens.

They had vanished without a trace after entering the starry sky, and the Heavenly Court of the Heavenly Realm Lineage had consequently fallen into stagnation.

The vacancy of an office at the level of a top Grand Unity Dao Realm prevented the Heavenly Court from fully emerging.

Although the Three Heavens had once been arrogant, their strength could not be ignored.

At the same time, in the boundless ocean of stars in the Primordial World, Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Yellow Heaven—the three Grand Unity experts of the Heavenly Dao Lineage whom all sides and the Primordial Beings were watching—were experiencing unprecedented humiliation.

They had lost their former arrogance and were fleeing toward the Primordial land in panic, with a terrifying existence apparently pursuing them from behind.

Before long, a tide-like procession appeared ahead beneath the starlight, advancing in orderly formation.

"Speed up the pursuit. Our god has used the Great Formation of the Stars of the Heavens to seal off the entire starry sky and space-time. They cannot tear space apart and escape."

"Three beings on the Primordial land actually dared to spy on the Sun Star where the god resides. Their actions are no different from seeking ** ."

"We must capture them and bring them before the god to atone for their crimes!"

Before the words had even ended, the enormous procession rapidly pursued the three beings.

Ahead, the Three Heavens were chased by a star-like army, their hearts filled with fury.

The eldest brother suggested directly eliminating these annoying Star Spirits, but the proposal was rejected.

If they stopped, that expert would catch up instantly. No one could withstand his Ancient Divine Bell, and a single strike might heavily injure them all.

They needed to return to the Primordial World as quickly as possible and summon the forces of the Heavenly Dao Lineage. Only then would they have the strength to contend with their opponent.

Just as they were about to break through the Starry Sky Barrier and return to the Primordial World, Cang Tian suddenly shouted, "Not good! That expert has caught up!"

The Dharma Form of the Ancient Divine Bell tore through the Chaos Qi and crashed down on everyone, blotting out the sky and sun.

Today, everything in the Virtual Primordial World proceeded as usual.

The Primordial Beings cultivated in the virtual world, each busy with their own affairs.

Suddenly, Shen Ji's figure appeared in the Origin Land of the Virtual Primordial World. He sensed that the starry sky of the Primordial World had changed.

The starry sky of the Virtual Primordial World had been concealed by some powerful force, preventing the Great Dao Laws from entering.

But today, the starry sky suddenly lifted its shielding, and the entire sky was completely illuminated.

Shen Ji, as well as the powerful figures of the Heavenly Dao Lineage—Dao Lord Hongjun, the Yin-Yang Ancestor, the Qian Kun Daoist, and others—also sensed this change.

Demon Ancestor Rahu in the Western Land, the Nameless Ascetic Monk on Mount Sumeru, and powerful figures such as the White Tiger Divine Venerable and White Tiger Jianbing Divine Lord in the Land of the Far West were also drawn by it at this moment.

The Dragon Kindred of the East Sea, including Ancestral Dragon, Heavenly Dragon, Qinglong, Winged Dragon, and the newly joined Heavenly Tortoise; the Phoenix Kindred of the Southern Undying Volcano, including Yuanfeng, First Phoenix, and Vermilion Bird; the Xuanwu Kindred deep in the North Sea; and the Qilin Kindred of Buzhou Mountain all sensed it.

Their divine senses crossed boundless space-time, seemingly witnessing the shocking event unfolding in that mysterious starry sky.

A long and sonorous bell toll came from the starry sky of the Primordial World, crossing through the myriad heavens.
