Time flowed like water, and years were meaningless in the Primordial World. After Mount Buzhou was completely sealed off by the Innate Great Array, which enveloped hundreds of millions of miles and emanated Five-Colored Divine Light, a veil of mystery was cast over the hearts of countless beings in the Primordial World.

At first, many cultivators, drawn by its reputation, sought to explore its secrets. However, numerous Great Powers, unwilling to accept this, went and returned.

They gazed from afar at the majestic yet unreachable divine mountain, sensing the surging Innate Spiritual Qi and the faint resonance of the Great Dao emanating from within, their hearts filled with an unbearable longing. That was Mount Buzhou! The supreme treasure land of creation!

Yet, no matter what divine abilities they unleashed or what magical treasures they wielded, upon touching the five-colored barrier, they were either gently but firmly pushed away, or worse, triggered the array's backlash. The Five Elements Power would cycle, annihilating their attacks into nothingness or even reflecting them back, leaving the attackers in disarray.

After countless attempts and considerable costs, the vast majority of beings despaired, realizing that this path was blocked. They could only leave with endless regret and speculation, regarding Mount Buzhou as a legendary place beyond reach.

Among them were also clever individuals who were perceptive and understood how to assess the situation. They saw that this great array was not naturally formed but was owned by someone, and that the cultivator's skill and array mastery were unfathomably deep.

Thus, they tidied their robes, prepared gifts, and respectfully bowed outside the great array, announcing their names loudly, stating their admiration for the mountain lord's demeanor, and requesting an audience.

As the voices entered the array, Di Jiang, seated within the Pangu Divine Hall, lazily raised an eyelid, his divine sense sweeping over the figures outside, some appearing immortal and refined, others strange and peculiar.

"Heavenly Fire Cave's exotic beasts? West Mountain's enlightened Innate beings? East Sea's Dragon Clan? ...All insignificant nobodies. Some of them aren't even Golden Immortals. How dare they seek an audience with me?"

Di Jiang curled his lips, utterly uninterested.

He was Pangu's True Lineage, bearing the Space-Time Law, wielding supreme treasures, and naturally, his standards were very high. In his opinion, at least the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain, Minghe of the Sea of Blood, Jieyin and Zhunti of Mount Sumeru, or Kunpeng of the North Sea, those Great Divine Powers of that caliber, should come!

Perhaps only then would he consider granting an audience, to satisfy his curiosity about the famous figures of the Primordial World. As for others? Let them go find a cool place to stay and not disturb his cultivation.

Therefore, no matter how respectful or earnest the people outside the array were, there was always silence within Mount Buzhou, no response. Over time, those who had tried the polite approach also lost heart, knowing the mountain lord had no intention of making new acquaintances, and they too departed.

Of course, the Primordial World was vast and never lacked arrogant fools who thought highly of themselves and didn't believe in evil, or foolish individuals blinded by greed. There were always some who, relying on their powerful magic (at least at the Golden Immortal level), or possessing strange divine abilities, or backed by powerful forces, attempted to forcibly break the array.

Some unleashed their Natal Spiritual Treasures, transforming them into colossal mountain peaks that smashed fiercely against the barrier; others manifested their true forms and rammed against it with brute force; still others attempted to find the array's operational patterns and weak points to sneak in...

To these ungrateful intruders, Di Jiang showed no mercy. He didn't even need to appear personally. With a mere thought, the Five Elements Great Array revealed its ferocious side.

If they attacked directly, the Five Elements would reverse. In an instant, Geng Metal sword Qi would tear through the sky, Southern Bright Leaving Fire would incinerate the heavens and boil the seas, Gui Water Yin Thunder would explode silently, Wu Earth Divine Mountains would descend to suppress them, and Yi Wood Green Qi would entwine and devour them...

The intruders, often before understanding what was happening, would perish along with their spirits and forms under the power of the cycling Five Elements Law, leaving not even a trace behind.

If they attempted to sneak in through trickery, space would instantly distort and fold. The intruders would fall into an endless maze, losing all sense of direction, with up and down, east and west reversed. Eventually, their magical powers would be exhausted, and they would be trapped to die, or Di Jiang would casually toss them into some remote corner of the Primordial World with a spatial rift, leaving their fate to chance.

After several such incidents, all cultivators who attempted to force their way in, whether solo or in small groups, never returned, vanishing completely from the Primordial World. Outside Mount Buzhou, a silent warning paved with the bones of Golden Immortals gradually appeared.

Such thunderous methods, ruthless and decisive, finally made all beings in the Primordial World clearly realize – Mount Buzhou had a master! And it was an reclusive Great Power whose strength was unfathomable and whose temper seemed rather unpleasant!

The news that Mount Buzhou was guarded by a peerless Great Power with heavenly array mastery, and that unauthorized entry was forbidden, spread rapidly through the high-level circles of the Primordial World.

Great Powers from all sides, whether the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa and Fuxi, Di Jun and Taiyi, or Zhenyuanzi, Hongyun, Minghe, Kunpeng, East Prince Gong, and others, all heard of this matter to varying degrees. They developed a strong interest in the mysterious master of Mount Buzhou, while also harboring deep apprehension.

To be able to make a place like Mount Buzhou, the center of the Primordial World, into a private dojo, and to set up a great array that could easily annihilate even Golden Immortals, their strength had likely reached the pinnacle of the current Primordial World.

Thus, Mount Buzhou and its never-before-seen master became a new legend in the Primordial World, an object of awe and a forbidden existence that no one dared to touch lightly.

And Di Jiang, content with the peace, continued his cultivation and planning within the absolute safety of Mount Buzhou, silently accumulating power sufficient to change the future landscape.

After an unknown period, within the Pangu Divine Hall, time seemed to fall into absolute stillness, and then, as if the universe was just beginning, it violently expanded! An aura, transcending that of Golden Immortals, profound and mysterious, as if one with the myriad transformations, erupted from Di Jiang, who had been in seclusion for a long time, filling the entire divine hall space!

Primordial Golden Immortal! It was a natural progression, without any obstacles. Relying on the solid foundation of absorbing the origins of the eleven Ancestral Witches, his status as Pangu's True Lineage, the assistance of numerous supreme treasures, and his profound understanding of laws such as space-time, Di Jiang finally took this crucial step, officially joining the ranks of the top Great Powers in the Primordial World, becoming one of the few Primordial Golden Immortals in the current Primordial World!

Sensing the vast magical power within him, which was completely different from before and seemed to resonate more deeply with the laws of the Primordial World, Di Jiang was in high spirits, unable to resist a smile of satisfaction.

"Primordial Golden Immortal! I've finally made it! In this era where Saints have not yet appeared, I finally have enough power to protect myself and can begin to act more freely."

The increase in his strength also made him want to do more. In the legends of his past life, the greatest trump card of the Witch Clan was not just the strength of any individual Ancestral Witch, but the Great Formation of the Myriad Heavens, which shook the Primordial World!

"Using the Pangu essence blood of the Twelve Ancestral Witches as a guide, gathering the boundless malevolent energy of heaven and earth, to manifest the true form of Father Pangu. Even if it's just an illusion, it possesses the power to create heaven and earth! In the original timeline, with this great formation, the Ancestral Witches could roam freely even in the era of Saints, directly confronting Saints!"

Thinking of this, a flicker of fiery light flashed in Di Jiang's eyes. Theoretically, he possessed the complete bloodline and potential of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and he had no shortage of Pangu essence blood. Did this mean he, alone, could potentially set up this Great Formation of the Myriad Heavens?

Once this thought arose, it grew wildly like weeds. If successful, this would be a terrifying trump card in his hand, surpassing even Innate Supreme Treasures!

Di Jiang calmed himself and meticulously deduced the key elements of the great formation. Pangu essence blood was the core catalyst, which he had. But the other crucial element – heaven and earth malevolent energy – made him frown slightly.

"Malevolent energy, especially sufficiently dense and vast malevolent energy, where is the most in the Primordial World now?"

Di Jiang's divine sense moved, connecting with the information of heaven and earth, and he instantly understood.

The Dragon-Han Calamity had only recently ended. Although the calamity's energy had dispersed, the immense malevolent energy left behind by the destruction and slaughter of the great battle had not completely dissipated.

And among them, the western lands were the most severely affected! Legend had it that at the end of the Dao-Demon Conflict, the Demon Ancestor Luohu self-destructed, almost destroying the western spiritual veins, turning it into a barren land where malevolent energy and death qi converged.

"It seems I have no choice but to leave Mount Buzhou." To test this ultimate killing formation, a trip to the west was imperative.

Di Jiang always acted with prudence. With a thought, he first reinforced the Five Elements Great Array that enveloped Mount Buzhou, ensuring that no one could break in even if he left. At the same time, he left a phantom image of the Chaos Bell and a trace of his divine sense in the core of the Pangu Divine Hall as the final defense and early warning system. The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, however, he carried with him.

With the security measures at home settled, it was time to go out and collect experimental materials!

With all preparations complete, Di Jiang's figure flickered, and without causing any spatial fluctuations, he silently appeared outside Mount Buzhou, at the edge of the five-colored barrier. He glanced back at the home he had managed for countless eons, then turned and took a step forward.

Space folded and stretched beneath his feet like obedient silk. He didn't use any escape light or tear through space for long-distance jumps, but rather walked leisurely through the layers and veins of space. After all, he had to take a good look at this magnificent landscape left by Pangu!

Although he appeared to be walking on solid ground, Di Jiang's speed was incredibly fast. He leisurely headed towards the western lands, where malevolent energy surged.

This was the first time since his transformation that he had truly left Mount Buzhou and stepped into the vast Primordial World. And his target was directly aimed at the west, which was now devoid of life and considered a barren land.
