"Ding dong, detected that Hongjun has become a Sage. In three thousand years, he will lecture on the profound essence of creation in the Outer Chaos Heavens, demonstrating the mysteries of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. At this special moment, please make the correct choice in accordance with the Homebody Choice System."
"Choice One: Follow the original course of Primordial Wilderness history, leave the Sun Palace, head to the Outer Chaos Heavens, attend Sage Hongjun's lecture, and become one of the three thousand guests of the Purple Cloud Palace. Reward: the lower-grade innate spiritual root, Fusang Divine Tree."
"Choice Two: Stay home, remain steady and do not venture out. Hole up in the Sun Palace and diligently cultivate the Sun Law, becoming one who follows the path of lying low. Reward: World Tree—Jianmu Divine Tree."
"Choice Three: Don't be a homebody. Become a carefree wanderer, roam the Primordial Continent as you please, travel the four seas, and be a happy young man, facing the sea as spring flowers bloom. Reward: one of the Innate Five Directional Flags among the Ten Great Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures—the Southern Off-Earth Flame Light Banner."
When Taiyi saw the reward for the third choice, his heart stirred, and he nearly drooled.
"It's actually the Southern Off-Earth Flame Light Banner, one of the Innate Five Directional Flags!"
"Is the Homebody System trying to make me gather all Ten Great Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures and summon a divine dragon?"
Have to say, this choice was incredibly tempting.
Taiyi had been born from heaven and earth as a Three-legged Golden Crow, appearing in transformed form, and he had naturally cultivated the Source of the Sun Law from birth.
The supremely rigid and blazing Solar Truefire, feared like tigers by the myriad beings of the Primordial Wilderness, was nothing more than a little toy to Taiyi.
Meanwhile, the Southern Blazing Fire contained within the Off-Earth Flame Light Banner was the natal divine flame possessed by the Phoenix Clan, one of the Innate Three Clans during the Dragon-Han Era.
Since the Phoenix Clan had been born within the Undying Volcano, this Southern Blazing Fire could also be regarded as the fire of the earth's core.
It stood in perfect contrast to Solar Truefire—one in the heavens, one upon the earth.
If Taiyi could obtain the Off-Earth Flame Light Banner, he might be able to fuse the Southern Blazing Fire within it and raise the power level of his Solar Truefire by an entire tier.
Ordinary Solar Truefire was enough to make beings below the Great Luo realm flee as if from snakes and scorpions. What if Solar Truefire incorporated the Southern Blazing Fire?
Even a Great Luo might have to stain his robes with blood.
However...
Taiyi still shook his head and turned his gaze toward the second choice.
"System, I choose two."
Taiyi had his reasons for choosing the second option.
First, the third option could be ruled out immediately.
Ever since he had appeared in transformed form and bound the Homebody Choice System, Taiyi had deeply realized one thing: this system wanted him to become a homebody.
And since he was a homebody, naturally he could not go wandering around everywhere.
The system was bound to the Sun Star, and only by not leaving the palace could he receive rewards.
Taiyi was determined to become a stay-at-home sunshine nerd.
As for the first choice, it could simply be ignored.
After all, whether it was leaving the palace to compete for a seat at the Purple Cloud Palace and listen to the lecture,
or choosing that lower-grade innate spiritual root, the Fusang Divine Tree,
neither was what Taiyi wanted.
As he had said before, the Homebody Choice System existed to make Taiyi stay at home.
It had even reminded him earlier to make the correct choice in line with the stay-at-home system.
Taiyi naturally knew what the correct choice was.
Heaven was vast, earth was vast, but System Daddy was the greatest.
Sure enough, after Taiyi made his choice, the Homebody Choice System sounded a pleasant congratulatory chime.
"Ding dong, congratulations, Host. You made the correct choice and successfully obtained the selection reward: World Tree—Jianmu Divine Tree."
"The reward has been distributed to the system warehouse. Please check and receive it."
With a thought from Taiyi, he saw a towering azure divine tree stretching toward the heavens.
It stood majestically within the system warehouse, almost bursting the System Space apart.
In an instant, information about the Jianmu Divine Tree flooded into Taiyi's mind.
"So this is the Jianmu Divine Tree's true form? I really underestimated the World Tree!"
After reading its basic introduction, Taiyi was shocked.
This Jianmu Divine Tree could actually connect to infinite worlds!
Please note: infinite worlds!
And they were higher planes at the same power level as the Primordial Wilderness!
Taiyi instantly felt as though he had stumbled upon a priceless treasure.
Even Heavenly Dao Sage Hongjun, after merging himself with the Dao, could not leave the Primordial World.
Not to mention the Six Sages of the heavens; Hongjun would never allow them to leave the Heavenly Dao's surveillance.
Yet the World Tree—Jianmu Divine Tree—that Taiyi had received as a reward could actually connect to other higher planes!
What did that mean?
It meant Taiyi had gained a completely safe escape route!
If I can't beat them, can't I still run?
The karmic burden of the Demon Clan weighing on me?
I'm out!
The Witch and Demon Cataclysm comes knocking?
I run!
The Twelve Divine Demon Array?
I flee!
Taiyi refused to believe that these Primordial Wilderness Sages could chase him all the way into another high-power-level world.
Thinking of this, Taiyi let out a foolish chuckle.
Dijun, standing beside him, looked utterly confused.
Why was his Second Brother so happy?
Could it be because Sage Hongjun was holding a lecture?
Noticing his strange behavior, Taiyi gave a light cough, composed his expression, and continued examining the Jianmu Divine Tree's information.
Clearly, the Jianmu Divine Tree he had just acquired did not yet possess such an incredible ability to connect infinitely to higher planes with power levels comparable to the Primordial Wilderness.
The Jianmu Divine Tree was still inactive, so Taiyi did not yet know what world it would connect to first.
Besides, the two brothers were currently outside the Sun Palace, and it was not suitable to casually reveal a treasure of heaven and earth.
Taiyi understood a thing or two about keeping one's wealth hidden.
Earlier, it had been because the aura leaked out while refining the Rivers and Mountains Map
that the Golden Winged Great Peng had become greedy and attacked to seize it.
Furthermore, connecting to infinite worlds was not without restrictions.
Taiyi needed to continuously infuse the Jianmu Divine Tree with mana and nourish it.
It could be said that the current Jianmu Divine Tree was merely a little girl who needed Taiyi to pour in his heart and effort to nurture her.
The moment he received the reward, the Jianmu Divine Tree had already bound itself to Taiyi as its master, bearing his imprint from then on.
"The Primordial Wilderness is in turmoil right now, and the outside world is too dangerous. I'd better take my brother and lie low on the Sun Star for a while."
After sorting through his chaotic thoughts, Taiyi returned to the Sun Palace with Dijun, and they closed the palace, refusing to emerge.
Moreover, Dijun set up the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Formation throughout the starfield surrounding the Sun Star, with threads of Killing Intent hidden within.
Anyone who wished to force their way onto the Sun Star would first have to pass through this top-tier innate killing formation.
"Hmph, I shall spare you two juniors for now. Once this Daoist obtains the opportunity to become a Sage, I will return to settle today's score with you."
After Hongjun Daozu withdrew his Sage's pressure, Daoist Zhunti rose to his feet as well.
He first gazed toward the chaotic space Beyond the Heavens, then noticed Taiyi and Dijun flying away beneath the Chaos Bell above their heads. Unable to suppress his resentment, he thought to himself.
Daoist Zhunti had never been a magnanimous man and was extremely vengeful.
His catchphrase, "You have an affinity with my Western land," had cheated no one knew how many accomplished cultivators.
He was absolutely one of the most unprovokable beings in the Primordial Wilderness.
Even Shen Gongbao, Yuanshi's Chan Sect's discarded disciple, and his famous line, "Fellow Daoist, please stay," paled in comparison. It was inferior by three parts and had to yield its place.
