The Four Great Primordial Experts on White Jade Capital Go to the Dragon Clan to Steal Treasures
"What Thieves Couple? What are you two doing, talking about some secret no one else can know? Tell me..."
Great God Nuwa was just about to blow up when she was interrupted by someone approaching. It was Houtu, dressed in blue like a clear swan, with the immortal bearing of a beauty holding a Mysterious Ice jade flask. She was truly one of the rarest goddesses in the Primordial World.
"Senior Houtu... We're planning to pull off something big. Do you dare join us?" Chen Xuan asked expectantly. If he could bring one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches into the alliance and form a common-interest group, they could scheme throughout the Primordial World.
"Oh? What is it? There aren't many things in the entire Primordial World that I wouldn't dare do, Little Xuanzi... Don't call me Senior anymore. Call me Sister. After all, your bones are far too young. I'm countless years older than you..."
Houtu teased him. Time had no meaning in the Primordial World, but she was at least several hundred million years older than Chen Xuan. Her strength was already equivalent to that of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
The Jade Emperor from Journey to the West had also cultivated for two hundred million years before stepping into the Grand Unity realm and enjoying boundless blessings. From this, one could see how difficult cultivation was—harder than ascending to the heavens...
Chen Xuan could be considered an anomaly...
He had entered the Deity Transformation stage in just a few days, practically like he had a cheat. That was because he was supported by immeasurable merit, leaving him without any bottlenecks...
"Sister Houtu... The Dragon-Han Calamity has officially begun. We're planning to visit the Dragon Clan's territory and look around, and perhaps bring back some treasures. I heard they have an immortal delicacy called Dragon Tooth Rice..."
"As long as you eat it, it can strengthen your body, cleanse your marrow, increase your cultivation, and it tastes great too..."
Chen Xuan explained everything, emphasizing the last sentence. Delicious food was the key to winning someone's heart.
Houtu's eyes lit up. Her main concern was clearly anything delicious. She said, "What are you waiting for? Let's leave at once..."
"All right..." Chen Xuan was very surprised. He had originally thought he would need to persuade her a little, but she had agreed without hesitation.
"Little Wa... I'll go with you too." Fuxi was at his wits' end. Ever since Chen Xuan arrived, his younger sister Nuwa's heart had gone wild...
"Brother... You can come, but just keep watch outside. The three of us will infiltrate the Dragon Clan. Be ready to receive us." Nuwa was quite satisfied.
"I..." Fuxi was speechless for a moment. So he had been reduced to a lookout? Shouldn't they all be sneaking around and stealing together?
Woof, woof, woof...
Big Yellow barked as well, waving his paws and dancing around to show that he would definitely follow everyone and help steal treasures.
"Hehe... This is going to be something big. I heard the Dragon Clan loves glittering treasures and has plenty of them. I can hardly wait." Duobao rubbed his fists, already eager to begin.
"Good... Our Primordial World Bandit Gang is officially established today. We'll steal the treasures of the Primordial World, with Great God Nuwa as the Thief Leader—in other words, the Head Boss..." Chen Xuan announced excitedly.
"Drop dead..." Great God Nuwa punched him. Chen Xuan flew dozens of meters through the air and rolled along the ground in a sorry state. He shouted, "You're the thief boss..."
Chen Xuan took a beating and ended up bruised and swollen, close to tears. Who could blame him when he was no match for her? Thirty thousand years in the east, thirty thousand years in the west—never look down on a poor man's future self. Just wait...
The Great Tribulation of the Primordial World had begun...
The three clans had accumulated grievances for a long time, and they had finally gone to war...
Boom...
Above the heavens, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Wind and fire swept across the Three Thousand Provinces, blotting out the sun and moon. A terrifying battle had begun—the slaughter between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans...
Many Innate Great Gods secluded themselves from the world to avoid the tribulation...
Wuzhuang Temple had only recently been established...
The two Golden Crows on the sun did not dare show themselves...
The three Taiyin sisters on the moon watched quietly...
A tigress rose to prominence in West Kunlun...
The Three Islands of Penglai established the Pure Yang Daoist temple...
A gigantic bird descended into the North Sea and transformed into a massive fish...
A fiendish god was born within the Endless Sea of Blood, establishing a realm of influence...
An old man, a middle-aged man, and a young man dared not emerge, hiding in their caves because thunderous explosions shook the outside world...
The Three Thousand Red-Dust Guests did not dare show their faces...
The conflict between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans continued. The myriad races caught in the battle were annihilated in an instant, frightening each of them into hiding.
"The tribulation has begun. I wonder what Daoist Hongjun plans to do next?"
Above a celestial paradise stood an abode of immortals called White Jade Capital. Two immortals were playing chess there: Great Immortal Yang Mei and Daoist Hongjun.
"Heaven and Earth are like a chessboard, and all living beings are pawns. Black and white are both the Dao. This battle is about the future of the Primordial World. Who will be the one to prove the Dao in the end? That will depend on everyone's methods."
Daoist Hongjun remained calm and unruffled, with the bearing of an immortal and an aura of extraordinary grace. Even Great Immortal Yang Mei was deeply wary of him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
One stream of divine light after another descended. Dao charm surrounded them both, and their cultivation had reached the pinnacle of creation. They were Half-step Saints, among the few peerless experts in the Primordial World.
They were Yin-Yang Ancestor and Qiankun Ancestor...
"Thank you both for coming to White Jade Capital. The general trend of the Primordial World is clear now. The tribulation has begun, and all living beings have entered a moment of life and death. Once the slaughter has been refined to its extreme, it will be time for us to fight Luohu."
Hongjun placed down a chess piece, his gaze calm. The overall situation of the Primordial World lay entirely within his grasp.
"Good..."
Yin-Yang Ancestor and Qiankun Ancestor nodded together. As former Chaos Demon Gods, they knew how terrifying Luohu was. He was an existence that even Great God Pangu had not feared.
Once he proved the Dao and spread the demonic path throughout the Primordial World, all that awaited them was destruction. All living beings would be annihilated...
"With the three of you helping, we should be able to stop Luohu. But what exactly is he planning? He actually incited the three clans to slaughter one another, triggering a war among the myriad races. The boundless tribulation aura has gathered, forming the calamity of the Primordial World..."
Hongjun sighed, clearly deeply worried.
He did not know what methods Luohu had employed. With such boldness, he had single-handedly initiated the Dao-Devil War. He must possess some heaven-defying weapon of slaughter, one capable of making even ghosts and gods tremble...
"Daoist Hongjun, there's no need to worry. With our support, the demonic path won't be allowed to run rampant." Great Immortal Yang Mei comforted him.
"That's right... How could the creation of the Primordial World be overturned by Luohu alone? We will unite our strength and save all living beings." Qiankun Ancestor was filled with righteousness. Heaven and Earth possessed righteousness, and the universe was vast and upright. That was the Dao he cultivated.
"Qiankun Ancestor is absolutely right..." Yin-Yang Ancestor nodded kindly.
"First, let me thank the three of you, Daoist friends. Once the tribulation ends, I will certainly present the Jade Plate of Creation and let you observe Great God Pangu's path of cultivation."
Hongjun answered decisively.
This was his promise. There was no such thing as help without reason, so the three men naturally smiled brightly.
On the shore of a vast sea...
A group of people descended there. Nuwa, Houtu, Fuxi, Chen Xuan, Big Yellow, Duobao, and the others had formed the first bandit expedition in the Primordial World.
"Everyone... This expedition of our Primordial World Bandit Gang may only succeed, never fail." Chen Xuan stood atop the wind and waves, issuing a solemn warning.
"Exactly... We must be extremely careful and absolutely not act recklessly. Brother will keep watch and receive us later, while Sister Houtu and Little Xuanzi will enter the Dragon Clan's territory with me."
After giving her instructions, Nuwa took Chen Xuan and leaped down toward the depths of the sea.
"There are far fewer members of the Dragon Clan in the Endless Sea Region. Ancestor Dragon has entered seclusion, so it seems we chose the right time..." Houtu looked around at the sea. Many sea clans were standing guard, but their cultivation was too low for them to notice the group of experts infiltrating the ocean.
"Don't let your guard down. I can withstand Ancestor Dragon's Wrath, but no one will be able to save you." Nuwa avoided the many sea clans and continued deeper. Soon, they saw a forbidden sea region.
"The Dragon Clan is truly arrogant. They made themselves a domain of their own, yet don't even have a formation protecting it." Houtu was somewhat surprised. Most regions had powerful formations guarding them, which also suited the Wu Clan's style of doing things: anyone who dared come would be beaten into submission.
Waves rose across the sea. The group immediately stepped into the area and arrived at a sacred land of green mountains and clear waters, where lush greenery flourished everywhere.
"Look... Is that Dragon Tooth Rice?" Houtu immediately spotted a field of grain shining with golden light. Her eyes lit up at the sight of so much food.
"That's right... Little Xuanzi, you have a brand-new food supply now..." Nuwa was also very excited.
Chen Xuan examined it. The Dragon Tooth Rice was huge, shaped like ivory. It truly deserved to be called a specialty of the Primordial World, with abundant spiritual power and sturdy roots...
"Great God Nuwa... Take as much as you can..." Chen Xuan wished he could take everything.
"No... None of this has ripened yet. We can only take part of it." Great God Nuwa shook her head.
"Then take part of it, and let's look around somewhere else..." Chen Xuan sighed.
"If you want treasures, the Ancestor Dragon Hall is definitely the place to go." Houtu looked into the distance. Beyond the spatial domain stood a grand and imposing Dragon Palace, magnificent and towering, its golden radiance reflecting across thirty thousand miles.
