Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Ancestors, Daoist Hongjun, Great Immortal Yang Mei, and Others Gather

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Sure enough, powerful auras swept in from all directions, shaking the mountains and rivers. Every one of them carried vast heavenly might, trampling through the clouds...

"Ancestor Dragon..."

"Yuanfeng..."

"First Qilin..."

The three mighty beings arrived at the same time. The instant they came into contact, they immediately clashed, murderous intent exposed as they faced one another. A battle could erupt at any moment.

Ancestor Dragon was a burly man, overbearing and savage. A single glance from him made hearts tremble. His dragon might surged forth, his voice resounding through the clouds in all directions and the nine heavens of thunder...

First Qilin was a muscular middle-aged man, mighty and extraordinary. Countless bolts of lightning swirled in his tiger-like eyes, and every time he opened or closed them, heaven and earth seemed to turn upside down.

Finally, there was Yuanfeng, an exceedingly beautiful woman in red robes. Her phoenix eyes were sharp, and her striking face was filled with coldness and arrogance.

"This region belongs to the Qilin Clan. You two, leave at once. If you want to fight, I will give it my all..." First Qilin swept his gaze across the two sides and declared domineeringly.

This region belonged to the domain of beasts and should rightfully be divided among the Qilin Clan. Even with the Twelve Ancestral Witches present, they were not strong enough to contend with the Qilin Clan and could only retreat...

"Hmph... First Qilin... Heavenly treasures belong to those with the destiny to obtain them. Who do you think you are? If you want to fight, then fight..." Yuanfeng snorted haughtily. Her phoenix eyes were sharp, and she was ready to battle at any moment.

"Hahaha..." Ancestor Dragon threw his head back and laughed. "You are as foolish as ever. The strong are respected. When a treasure appears, the one with the bigger fists naturally becomes king."

Killing intent erupted in an instant, shaking the sky...

A battle among the three clans' ancestors could break out at any moment, truly igniting the Great Tribulation of the Primordial World. Chen Xuan was terrified. As expected of the Primordial World big shots—even a single wave of their might left him unable to breathe.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Another series of powerful auras descended...

One was an old man with white hair and beard and a benevolent face. His entire being seemed utterly hollow. In his presence, time itself appeared to have become a mere decoration, leaving him incomparably ethereal.

Another wore Daoist robes and was surrounded by purple energy. His bearing was extraordinary, as though heaven and earth were being enacted within him. With every step he took, endless Dao charm surged forth, and he glanced toward the ancestors of the three clans.

"Hongjun..."

"Yang Mei..."

Whether Ancestor Dragon, Yuanfeng, or First Qilin, all three were shocked. They had never expected to encounter those two. All of them had the bloodlines of Chaos Demon Gods, so they were naturally extremely wary.

Especially Ancestor Dragon, Yuanfeng, and First Qilin. They had been transformed from the remnants of Chaos Demon Gods, were powerful, and had inherited their memories. To be reborn during the Pangu Creates the Heavens calamity, none of them was an ordinary figure...

"Haha... Fellow Daoists Ancestor Dragon, Yuanfeng, and First Qilin, the treasure that has appeared today is fated to belong to me, Hongjun. I hope you three will be magnanimous..." Hongjun greeted them with a smile.

"Daoist Hongjun... Why should it be fated to belong to you? This is clearly the territory of the Qilin Clan." First Qilin rebuked him, not fearing Hongjun in the slightest.

"Fellow Daoist First Qilin... If you refuse to yield, I do not mind. At worst, I will simply suppress you..."

As Hongjun, dressed in Daoist robes, smiled, divine light appeared. A jade disc hovered above his head, shimmering with three thousand Dao Lights. It was none other than the Jade Plate of Creation.

According to legend, Pangu had been nurtured within the Chaos Green Lotus. Aside from the Creation Axe, there had also been a jade disc bearing the Three Thousand Great Daos. It carried the path of the Great Dao, including how to attain the Path of Hunyuan and even the Hunyuan Limitless Great Dao...

As Pangu Creates the Heavens, the chaos shattered and the Primordial World was formed. This mysterious jade disc was broken into many pieces, some of which fell on Kunlun Mountain and were obtained by Hongjun, giving him the method to prove the Dao and become a Saint...

"Hongjun..."

Ancestor Dragon, who had been watching the show all along, widened his eyes. He was an exceptionally proud and unruly being who had never held anyone in his regard, but now he was deeply wary.

"The Jade Plate of Creation..."

Yuanfeng's phoenix eyes were sharp as she restrained her greed. This was a Chaos Supreme Treasure from before Pangu Creates the Heavens. Even if it was damaged, she was still no match for it.

"I will give you face. I hope you will not interfere in the struggle between our three clans." First Qilin turned and left. Ancestor Dragon and Yuanfeng were deeply unwilling, but they also departed one after another, aside from their fear of Hongjun...

There was also the mysterious Great Immortal Yang Mei...

"Haha... Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you truly have impressive methods. With a single sentence, you drove away three great fiends. In the entire Primordial World, there really are not many who can subdue them." Great Immortal Yang Mei teased him.

"Which of them was not transformed from a Chaos God-Demon? They were born powerful, and now they have grown even stronger. Their momentum is fierce enough to sweep across the entire Primordial World. Give them a little more time, and I fear no one will be their match..." Hongjun glanced at the sky, then toward the west.

The Dragon-Han Calamity and the conflict between the Dao and demons were both part of the Will of the Primordial World and the Heavenly Dao's Great Trend. No one could resist them unless they left the Primordial World and traveled through the chaos...

"Hehe..." Great Immortal Yang Mei smiled without saying anything.

Boom...

A thunderous sound shook the surroundings. The mountain ranges split apart, and a seven-colored holy light shot into the sky, transforming into a splendid cloud. It was incredibly beautiful.

"Is this the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud? Why is it pressed beneath the Spiritual Vein? Shouldn't it be in the sky? It's a cloud, after all..." Chen Xuan was dumbfounded...

"It is said to have been transformed from a breath of Pangu's chest. It possesses endless yang energy and the power of auspiciousness, and can suppress fiends and demons. It is one of Hongjun's trump cards..." Nuwa explained.

Fuxi, Duobao, and Big Yellow looked at one another, completely unable to understand. It seemed extremely powerful, at any rate. Faced with the methods of the two big shots, Daoist Hongjun and Great Immortal Yang Mei, they could only stare blankly...

"Collect."

Daoist Hongjun took the treasure with one hand. He then glanced at Nuwa, Fuxi, Duobao, Big Yellow, and finally Chen Xuan. For some reason, he seemed unable to see through him...

The heavenly secrets of the Primordial World were in chaos, making deduction impossible. He could only give up and wait until after defeating Luohu before dealing with it...

"What is it?" Great Immortal Yang Mei also sensed something. He glanced at everyone and smiled. "He is an ordinary life-form of the Primordial World who has yet to become an immortal. Yet his physical structure contains the mysteries of divinity without divine nature. Wonderful, wonderful..."

"Let's go... We should hurry. The conflict between the three clans is only a step away from erupting. Once the killing calamity of the Primordial World begins and Luohu proves the Dao through slaughter, none of us will survive..."

Hongjun shook his head...

He was searching for Luohu and intended to make preparations in advance. In the conflict between the Dao and demons, either you died or I lived.

The two of them transformed into streaks of light and vanished without a trace...

"Whew..." Chen Xuan let out a breath of relief and said, "As expected of the Primordial World's big boss, Hongjun. A single glance from him almost scared my soul out of me. He is truly terrifying..."

That kind of terror was like having a single eye of the heavens watching you at all times, making every hair on your body stand on end.

"Your courage is really that small? But you people of later generations have always written Hongjun as the greatest hidden villain. That is not entirely without reason. He is too powerful..."

"Daoist Hongjun's path to proving the Dao was basically smooth sailing aside from his battle with Luohu. He was invincible in the Primordial World. I really wonder what he is plotting."

Nuwa was very puzzled...

Later generations had become the Age of Dharma's End. Even when a Grand Unity Golden Immortal descended, his cultivation was forcibly suppressed, leaving him unable to display even one ten-thousandth of his strength. What exactly had happened?

"How would I know? No one knows whether Hongjun is a villain." Chen Xuan waved his hand.

"Look... There's another treasure..."

Another cry of surprise rang out. It was Duobao, who transformed into a streak of light and landed beneath the Spiritual Vein. A mystical tea tree stood quietly there, nourished by the aura of heaven and earth.

"Such powerful Dao charm. Could it be..." Fuxi's heart trembled.

"It should be... The Enlightenment Tea Tree, one of the Primordial World's Ten Great Spiritual Roots. Although it cannot compare to the Yellow Middle Plum, Mount Pantao, or the Ginseng Fruit, it is at least one of the Innate Spiritual Roots, like the Bitter Bamboo and Five-Needle Pine..." Chen Xuan stared at the Enlightenment Tea Tree, his eyes shining.

"Take it away... Take it away... Since it is the Enlightenment Tea Tree, don't leave behind a single leaf. We can brew tea with it every day in the future." Great God Nuwa took it away with one hand.

"Great God Nuwa... Remember to share the spoils." Chen Xuan reminded her.

"When have I ever treated you unfairly?" Great God Nuwa rolled her eyes.

"Hehe... Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Chen Xuan retorted. There were already piles of treasures in Great God Nuwa's hands, and she could deal with them however she pleased. He could not beat her, anyway.

"Keep hehehe-ing, and I'll smash your dog's head. You need to farm in the later generations. Do you need any magic treasures or the like? Just transplant some specialties of the Primordial World..." Great God Nuwa was not polite.

Only beneath a Five-Colored Lotus in the later generations had it become a field rich in spiritual energy. According to Great God Nuwa's deductions, they had to bring along more spiritual roots to improve the spiritually depleted later generations...

"I don't care! This Enlightenment Tea Tree is mine..." Chen Xuan said bluntly.

"Hehe..." Great God Nuwa sneered.

"You..." Chen Xuan gritted his teeth.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

At this moment, streaks of five-colored and ten-hued divine light descended one after another. It was Houtu returning.
