Emerging in Human Form, Clearing Mount Buzhou

A hundred yuanhui passed leisurely. To the Primordial World, it was no more than the blink of an eye, but for the enormous egg within Pangu Divine Hall, which had accumulated boundless power, it was a crucial period for fully transforming potential into strength.

On this day, the originally steady currents of Chaos Qi within Pangu Divine Hall suddenly boiled! Centered on the largest giant egg, invisible powers of time and space twisted and expanded, like a cosmic singularity on the verge of birth.

Upon the eggshell, silver-gray spatial Dao patterns shone to the utmost brilliance, Intertwined with the faint Flowing Light of the Time Law and stirring the Law of Force imprints buried deep within its bloodline. At the same time, phantoms of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth revolved around the eggshell, while all manner of phenomena—Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning—rumbled and flashed through the divine hall!

Crack—

A crisp Dao sound that seemed to resound through the very origin of the Primordial World rang out from Pangu Divine Hall. Yet most of it was blocked by the hall's own power; only the vague resonance with the Great Dao could not be completely concealed.

A crack containing infinite profundity spread across the giant egg. There was no earth-shaking explosion, only endless divine light surging from the crack. Within that light, a figure slowly condensed.

His figure was tall and straight, as though he supported the Four Extremes of Heaven and Earth. He had a handsome face, sword-like brows, and starry eyes, combining Pangu's majesty with the easy confidence from the memories of his past life.

His black hair cascaded like a waterfall, naturally draped behind him, with spatial ripples rippling at its tips. The Dao rhythm around him was naturally formed. He possessed both the immense vitality of the Ancestral Witch Bloodline, which shook the void, and the clear radiance of a Primordial Spirit, reflecting all laws.

It was none other than Di Jiang, who had emerged in human form! As one formed from the purest essence blood of Pangu, his foundation was naturally closer to Pangu's physical origin than the Three Pure Ones, who had formed from the divided Primordial Spirit! The moment he was born, he immediately stirred resonance throughout the Primordial World!

Outside Pangu Divine Hall, although the divine hall concealed the phenomena from the outside world, purple qi arrived from the east for thirty thousand miles, golden lotus phantoms sprang from the earth, and the Great Dao's sacred hymns faintly sang in praise. Heaven and earth were congratulating the birth of another of Pangu's True Lineage! At this time, the Three Pure Ones had already been born!

At that very moment, that vast, impartial, icy will—the Primordial World Heavenly Dao—descended once more.

Yet unlike the oppressive sensation last time, which had carried the intent of extermination, the Heavenly Dao Will this time was more like a simple registration and witness. It swept over Di Jiang, confirmed his identity as Pangu's True Lineage, recorded his cultivation at peak Golden Immortal, and sensed the dense Heaven-Opening Merit upon him, as well as the lawful and legitimate origin of his foundation.

Di Jiang could clearly sense that the Heavenly Dao held no personal emotions toward him—neither hostility nor favor. It merely operated according to established rules, acknowledging his existence and status.

"The Primordial World Heavenly Dao is impartial indeed."

The last weight in Di Jiang's heart fell away, and he was completely at ease. "It has no self-awareness. It is merely the highest program maintaining the Primordial World's operation. So long as one does not violate its core rules, such as destroying the world on a massive scale or obstructing the greater trend, it will not target anyone."

With his thoughts clear, Di Jiang's aura grew ever more harmonious and unfettered. Feeling the vast power within him, like a sea of stars, his peak Golden Immortal cultivation was incomparably stable. He could even faintly touch the threshold of the Primordial Golden Immortal! Born at the peak—looking across the entire Primordial World, who else could compare?

Di Jiang lowered his head to inspect the handsome appearance he had carefully fine-tuned according to his past life's aesthetic standards after taking human form, then nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good. Strength and looks coexist. This is the presence a transmigrator ought to have!"

Di Jiang's gaze swept over the Chaos Bell and Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler floating quietly beside him. He sensed the Innate Five Directions Banner and Five Elements Spirit Pearls within him, already half-refined, then looked toward the six blood embryos in Pangu Blood Pool, whose auras had become even purer and deeper due to his earlier assistance.

A surge of heroic spirit rose within him.

"Primordial World, I, Di Jiang, have arrived!"

"In this life, the fate of the Witch Clan will be rewritten by me! The order of this Primordial World should change as well!"

Di Jiang took one step forward, and the space around him naturally folded, as though all of Pangu Divine Hall welcomed the awakening of its true master. He was ready to walk the road ahead alone, but at this moment, his confidence soared!

After emerging in human form and sensing both his own surging power and the "fairness" of the Heavenly Dao, Di Jiang turned his gaze beyond Pangu Divine Hall, toward the towering, boundless Mount Buzhou that held up heaven and earth.

As the manifestation of Pangu's spine, Mount Buzhou held extraordinary meaning in Di Jiang's heart. It was not only a symbol of Pangu's True Lineage, but also the foundation he had claimed as his own—the future site of his Daoist sanctuary! In terms from his past life, this was his home in the Primordial World!

However, Di Jiang's divine sense spread like an invisible tide, instantly covering the entire Mount Buzhou region. Yet the scene it relayed back made him frown slightly.

The Primordial World was still in its early stages. As the center of the world and the source of spiritual qi, Mount Buzhou was also rumored to be a treasure-filled land, drawing countless Innate Beings to seek opportunities and establish their cave abodes.

Among the mountain clouds and mist, streaks of escaping light could often be seen darting about. Immortal cranes carried spiritual mushrooms in their beaks, spirit apes climbed the cliffs, and many beings who had taken Dao bodies discussed the Dao or fought beside mountain streams and brooks... It was truly lively!

"Tsk, has my front door practically become a public tourist attraction?"

Di Jiang rubbed his chin, a trace of displeasure flashing through his eyes.

"How can others be allowed to sleep beside my bed!"

If he was Pangu's True Lineage and the natural "heir" of Mount Buzhou, then he believed he had both the duty and ability to preserve this place's peace and dignity. More importantly, he did not want a crowd of unrelated neighbors watching whenever he cultivated or did anything in the future.

"Clear them out! They must be cleared out!"

With his mind made up, Di Jiang's figure flickered and merged into the surrounding space. Like an invisible ghost, he began a thorough inspection throughout Mount Buzhou.

Di Jiang's methods were simple and efficient. The Space Law activated silently. Whether they were Gold Immortals meditating and refining qi, Grand Unity Golden Immortals fighting over spiritual herbs, or cultivators sleeping soundly in their cave abodes...

They only sensed a minute, almost imperceptible fluctuation in the surrounding space. The next moment, the scene before them abruptly changed, and they had already appeared beyond Mount Buzhou's sphere of influence.

The Innate Beings looked at one another in bewilderment, scanning their surroundings in confusion. They had no idea what had happened and could only attribute it to Mount Buzhou's mystery and unfathomability.

The entire process was silent, and Di Jiang could not even be bothered to show himself and explain. Before him, a master of space and Peak Da Luo, these Gold Immortals and Grand Unity Golden Immortals were no different from ants. Asking them to "move house" naturally took no effort at all.

However, when he inspected a particularly elegant valley on Mount Buzhou, his movements paused slightly.

The valley was filled with dense spiritual qi, babbling streams, and countless exotic flowers and grasses. A male and female Daoist were discussing the Dao within it. The man was handsome and refined, with an ancient zither laid across his knees and an innate Dao rhythm about him. The woman had a graceful figure and peerless beauty, with Qi of Creation flowing around her as though she had gathered all the spiritual beauty of heaven and earth into herself.

They were Fuxi and Nuwa!

"So it's the two siblings." Di Jiang understood. These two had also been born from Mount Buzhou and possessed extraordinary foundations. They were the future heaven-ordained Saint and Heavenly Emperor of the Human Clan. According to the original course of events, they indeed seemed to have been born on Mount Buzhou and stayed there for some time before later moving to Phoenix Perch Mountain. However, Di Jiang guessed they had most likely been driven away by the Ancestral Witches.

At this moment, however, Fuxi and Nuwa's auras were strong, but they were only mid-stage Golden Immortals. Clearly, they had not been born long ago and were still in the accumulation stage.

Di Jiang's gaze could not help lingering for an instant on Nuwa's flawless Innate Dao Body and beautiful face.

"Tsk, as expected of the Primordial World's goddess. Her looks really are top-tier in the Primordial World."

Di Jiang gave an objective assessment in his heart.

But immediately afterward, Di Jiang's mind sharpened, and his will became as firm as a rock:

"However, I, Di Jiang, am a Sigma Male. There is only the Great Dao and power in my heart. How could I be tempted by mere beauty? The peace of my Daoist sanctuary comes first!"

Thus, without the slightest hesitation, Di Jiang silently spread the Space Law over the entire valley once more. Fuxi and Nuwa, who were discussing the Dao, suddenly became alert. They only felt the space around them solidify as a force they could not resist enveloped them!

"Which Daoist friend is this? Please show yourself!" Fuxi shouted in alarm. His ancient zither hummed as he attempted to resist.

Nuwa frowned as well, waving her jade-like hand and sending streams of pure creation qi to protect herself.

But it was all futile. Before Di Jiang, a Peak Da Luo who commanded the Space Law, their mid-stage Golden Immortal cultivation appeared utterly powerless. The next moment, space shifted. Fuxi and Nuwa only felt their vision blur before finding themselves in an unfamiliar mountain forest billions of miles from Mount Buzhou.

After sending away the final two holdouts, Di Jiang swept Mount Buzhou with his divine sense once more and confirmed that no foreign beings remained.

"Good. The idle outsiders have been cleared out. Time to set up the anti-theft net!"

With a thought from Di Jiang, five streams of Flowing Light flew from his body and expanded with the wind, transforming into five enormous banners that blotted out heaven and earth. They stood in the east, south, west, north, and center of Mount Buzhou respectively! They were the Innate Five Directions Banner!

Immediately afterward, five spirit pearls containing the innate Five Elements origin soared into the sky and entered the five precious banners respectively, serving as the great array's energy cores and amplifiers!

"Five Elements Great Array, rise!"

Di Jiang formed hand seals, drawing upon his immense mana and the Five Elements Law. In an instant, Five-Colored Divine Light shot into the heavens. Golden, azure, blue, red, and yellow radiance flowed without cease, forming an enormous Five Elements barrier that covered the entire Mount Buzhou region!

Upon the barrier, Five Elements Power generated and restrained one another in an endless cycle, forming a world of its own and separating within from without! The profundity of the formation even faintly possessed the effect of twisting time and space and concealing heavenly secrets!

From the outside, the towering Mount Buzhou, once clearly visible, became hazy and indistinct, like a mirage. It could no longer be approached, while divine sense entering it vanished like a clay ox entering the sea.

Di Jiang looked at his masterpiece in satisfaction.

"Mm, now it's peaceful and safe. From now on, Mount Buzhou is my private territory—the absolute domain of Pangu's True Lineage!"

Di Jiang clapped his hands. His figure vanished from the spot and returned to Pangu Divine Hall. It was time to properly plan how to make use of this greatest mansion in the Primordial World and begin his journey of stirring up trouble—no, his journey of seeking the Dao.
