Lying Low in the Deep Palace, Living as a Homebody, and Managing Things Steadily (Please Bookmark and Recommend)

Hongjun's ascension to Sagehood thoroughly ignited the originally stagnant Primordial Wilderness. Countless powerhouses appeared one after another, calling friends and gathering companions as they formed groups to head for the Chaotic Purple Cloud Palace Beyond the Heavens.

They wished to uncover the mysteries and opportunities behind Daoist Hongjun's ascension to Sagehood, reflect upon their own Great Dao, and push their cultivation another step forward.

After Taiyi returned to the Sun God Palace beneath the Chaos Bell with his elder brother Dijun, he shut the palace gates and remained inside, managing things steadily.

He even had Dijun scatter the Hetu Luoshu across the starry regions surrounding the Sun Star, setting up this innate killing formation.

Even then, Taiyi was not at ease. He unfurled his Mountains and Rivers State Altar Diagram once more and laid down layer upon layer of Innate Restrictions.

Countless mountains and rivers, suns, moons, stars, earthly veins, dimensional spaces, spacetime traps, illusion formations, and deadly realms... all emerged throughout the Sun Star's domain, enveloping countless star systems and innumerable stars.

If any Primordial Wilderness creature accidentally entered the diagram, unless it possessed extraordinary talent or profound cultivation and immense magical power, it would never notice anything unusual. It would only think it had stumbled into another starfield.

That was because, once the Mountains and Rivers State Altar Diagram was fully unleashed, it became as vast as heaven and earth, containing a universe within. It perfectly replicated the laws and Great Dao of the Primordial World, nurturing celestial beings and transforming into all living things.

This diagram completely recorded the terrain and earth-vein patterns of the Primordial Wilderness. It was a miniature map of the Primordial Wilderness.

Within it lay a vast universe of mountains, rivers, peaks, dazzling wonders, suns, moons, stars, flowers, grasses, trees, Birds and Beasts, and mountain and earth veins...

Not only was the terrain exactly identical, even the principles and laws within were the same.

Thus, the creatures living in the Primordial World could not detect the slightest irregularity.

The boundless spiritual energy within the spiritual treasure nurtured hundreds of millions of living beings, who lived and died within it. It contained everything, as though the diagram held a real miniature world of civilization.

Therefore, those Primordial Wilderness creatures that accidentally entered the diagram would naturally travel through it, settle down, and survive there without noticing a thing.

Through the spiritual connection between himself and the treasure, Taiyi discovered that within only a few years, countless Primordial Wilderness creatures had accidentally entered the Mountains and Rivers State Altar Diagram. They multiplied and thrived within it, giving rise to another splendid world.

This also showed Taiyi what the strongest spatial Innate Spiritual Treasure in the Primordial Wilderness truly was.

Even a single Innate Spiritual Treasure was enough to make Daluo Realm cultivators covet it. It was the finest choice for self-protection and anchoring one's fortune.

After all, even the later Wa Sovereign Holy Mother, the supreme Nüwa, possessed no higher-grade treasure than the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Red Embroidered Ball.

This showed just how precious and scarce Innate Spiritual Treasures were.

Taiyi knew that people of later generations only focused their attention on the Three Pure Ones and the others.

They only saw those powerhouses battling with magic, Innate Spiritual Treasures flying everywhere.

Yet they failed to notice that among the countless Grand Luo Golden Immortal and Grand Yi Golden Immortal cultivators in the Primordial Wilderness, many did not possess even one Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Not to mention the Earth Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and the like, who were as numerous as the stars in the sky.

The lower-tier cultivators of the Primordial Wilderness likely did not even have a single spiritual treasure.

They could only painstakingly forge their own magical treasures, barely using them to protect their Dao, ward off tribulations, and survive.

Below the Sages, the stronger one's Innate Spiritual Treasure, the greater one's chances of survival.

For example, not long after Taiyi had appeared and assumed his form, the Golden Winged Great Peng had come to attack him.

Had he not possessed the Chaos Bell for protection and the spatial offensive divine abilities of the Mountains and Rivers State Altar Diagram,

given his cultivation and divine abilities at the time, he would certainly have fled in a sorry state.

Rather than fighting it to a draw.

After Dijun and Taiyi returned to the Sun Palace, Dijun was filled with doubts.

Yet once Taiyi returned to the Sun Star, he immediately shut himself inside the palace and refused to come out.

Although Dijun had his doubts, he could not casually disturb Taiyi's cultivation.

But five hundred years passed, and Taiyi Palace remained utterly silent.

Dijun grew anxious.

Especially when he watched the Primordial Powerhouses fly one after another from the Sun Star toward the Thirty-Third Heaven and beyond.

They crossed the endless layers of astral wind, passed through the world membrane, and entered the Chaos Sea. That made Dijun feel as though cats were clawing at his heart, leaving him unbearably restless.

On this day, Dijun finally could not remain in seclusion any longer. He went to Taiyi Palace, where his second brother Taiyi resided, and knocked on its gates.

"Second Brother, Elder Brother needs to speak with you."

A gentle divine sense passed through the image-recording formation at the palace gates. Dijun then waited outside the hall.

"Elder Brother, you were looking for me?"

Taiyi had been inside comprehending the mysteries of the World Tree. When he suddenly heard his elder brother Dijun calling for him, he opened the palace gates and walked out with a puzzled look.

During those five hundred years, Taiyi had been studying and developing the other abilities of the Jianmu Divine Tree. As a result, he had become rather unkempt, and his face looked somewhat weary.

"Uh, Second Brother, why do you look like this?"

Dijun stared at his younger brother's disheveled appearance in disbelief.

One had to know that when Taiyi first appeared, he had possessed peerless immortal beauty!

He could be called the most handsome man in the Primordial Wilderness.

Even Dijun himself had felt inferior.

Yet now, Taiyi had completely turned into a beggar.

"It is a long story, Elder Brother. We cultivators should not concern ourselves with such trivial details."

"Why did you call me out just now?"

Taiyi was not some ignorant fool who knew nothing of worldly matters. Although his elder brother Dijun would never dislike him,

Taiyi still casually cast a cleansing spell, removing five hundred years of dishevelment and restoring his appearance.

"Second Brother, when we first returned, I saw that you were in seclusion, so I did not ask."

"Now Elder Brother wishes to ask you this: Sage Hongjun is lecturing at the Purple Cloud Palace in the Outer Chaos Heavens. Should the two of us go listen?"

"You must know that this is the first Sage of the Primordial Wilderness expounding the Dao. For Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivators, it is a rare and tremendous opportunity."

Dijun spoke eagerly.

Although they had delayed for several hundred years, it did not matter.

After all, the Sun Star was not far from Beyond the Heavens.

Moreover, both brothers possessed Innate Spiritual Treasures for protection and did not fear the astral wind layers of the Thirty-Third Heaven or the Chaos Sea.

"Ah, Elder Brother, didn't I say that we brothers should stay home peacefully and not get involved in this matter?"

Taiyi looked at his elder brother in surprise, even pausing as he brewed tea.

Thanks to the Mountains and Rivers State Altar Diagram becoming a world of its own, Taiyi had discovered many spiritual teas born innately within it.

After a little processing and brewing, they became the finest spiritual teas in the world. Everyone who drank them praised them as good tea.

His elder brother Dijun liked them very much as well.

Thus, Taiyi brought out the newest variety of Blazing Green Tea to entertain his elder brother.

"Did you say that?"

Dijun looked somewhat confused.

"Er, fine. At the time, I only said we should cultivate in peace and ignore the outside world."

Taiyi slapped his forehead, speaking somewhat embarrassedly.

When he had first returned to the Sun Star, Taiyi's mind had been completely occupied by the newly acquired Jianmu Divine Tree.

In his excitement, he had casually given his elder brother Dijun a brief reminder before entering seclusion to study the Jianmu Divine Tree.

He did not expect that Dijun, who did not know the history of the later Primordial Wilderness, would not understand the dangers hidden behind the Purple Cloud Palace's lectures.
