Hundred Herbs Valley

"Several cycles have passed since my last journey through the Primordial World."

As Zhou Yuan walked across the Primordial Great Land, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and disillusionment.

For the Great Luo Dao Lord...

Time has no meaning for them.

Perhaps a period of seclusion can last for tens of thousands of years.

However, during these several eons, astonishing changes occurred in the Primordial World.

On the continent, there are still Divine Demon Imperial Dynasty and Divine Demon Tribes.

But among the mountains, rivers, and lakes, each Demon Cave is like a nail driven into the Primordial Great Land.

This highlights the presence of the Demon Clan.

Besides the Demon Clan Primordial Divine Demon Dao Lineage, there is another force: the Witch Clan.

The Witch Clan was created by the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

Centered on Buzhou Mountain, they split into countless tribes, scattered across the Primordial Continent.

The Witch Clan uses turbid and malevolent energy to temper their bodies and uses their bloodline as evidence to uncover the hidden laws within their bloodline.

They were following in the footsteps of the Twelve Ancestor Witches and Pangu.

They are naturally proud and warlike, claiming to be descendants of Pangu, and believing themselves to be the true lineage of the Primordial World and the ruler of all spirits.

Zhou Yuan has witnessed many battles along the way.

There are Witch Clan and Demon Clan.

There is a lineage between the Demon Clan and the Primordial Divine Demon Dao Lineage.

There is also the struggle between the Witch Clan and the Primordial Divine Demon Dao Lineage.

"Ultimately, it all boils down to a struggle for cultivation resources; the Struggle for the Great Dao and the struggle for cultivation have always been like this."

Zhou Yuan, holding a bamboo staff, strolled across the Primordial Great Land.

What meets the eye is a scene of vibrant life, where all creatures vie freely under the frosty sky.

But a Heavenly Light between Zhou Yuan's brows illuminated the entire universe.

But they discovered that wisps of Calamity Qi were forming, only to vanish in an instant.

"Calamities often accumulate from the smallest negligence, and wisdom and courage are often thwarted by what one is addicted to."

'The liches and demons, along with the Divine Demon Dao Lineages, have frequently clashed over the struggle for survival and resources for cultivation.'

'Although all parties are currently restrained by higher-level Celestial Venerables Dao Lords, they are barely able to suppress the Calamity Qi.'

'But if things continue like this, the accumulated hatred from generation to generation will eventually erupt like a landslide or a tsunami, becoming uncontrollable.'

Zhou Yuan's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

This is the grand trend of the operation of the Heavenly Dao.

To become the ruler of the state, the king of the world, the protagonist of the Primordial World —how can one succeed without enduring countless risks and tribulations?

'This is an unstoppable trend that even Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate or Great Divine Ability User cannot reverse.'

Even a saint cannot control the Mortal World desires in the hearts of countless living beings.

With Mortal World thoughts and desires arise, and when desires intertwine, calamities and Tribulation of Slaughter occur.

Zhou Yuan shook his head, dismissing the thought from his mind.

Continue walking on the earth.

He had no specific destination, wandering around as he pleased, relying entirely on his own intuition.

This day.

Zhou Yuan arrived at a valley.

Looking up, one can see wisps of pure energy rising into the sky.

It contains a mixture of various woody scents.

It was serene and natural, and faintly carried with it a profound Mysterious Yellow Merit aura.

"I walked across the Primordial Great Land, only to see blood everywhere and a malevolent aura covering the sky."

"I never expected there to be so many kind people here."

"That's really rare."

Zhou Yuan clapped his hands in admiration.

"You flatter me, senior."

Just as Zhou Yuan was speaking...

Suddenly, an old woman in a green robe appeared in the void.

The old woman had a kind face and a gentle expression, and held a locust wood cane in her hand.

She called herself Granny Huai.

"We are all born from the Plant Spirits."

"They live on dew and wind, do not kill, and do not eat flesh and blood."

"In my spare time, I tend to herbs and medicinal plants, and tend to the earth's veins and auspicious burial sites."

Therefore, purity arises spontaneously, and merit is naturally achieved.

"I don't deserve your praise."

Granny Huai was only at the True One level of cultivation and could not discern the true nature of the Daoist before her.

But when the divine sense probed, it was as if it had entered a mountain and sea, and the person in front of it seemed to be in the high heavens and the azure sky.

A cold sweat broke out all over my body immediately.

She secretly groaned:

'I wonder where this powerful being came from.'

'I only hope for ten virtuous people.'

'Otherwise, my Hundred Herbs Valley might face a cataclysmic disaster today.'

Perhaps they sensed the old woman's fear.

Zhou Yuan did not wish to intimidate such people who practiced asceticism and performed meritorious deeds.

He smiled amicably:

"This humble Daoist priest happened to be passing by your esteemed place."

"Seeing this place filled with the pure and virtuous aura of Blessing and Virtue, I can only sigh in admiration."

"A place that accumulates good deeds will surely have Yu Qing."

"If you uphold the righteous path, you may one day ascend to the Great Dao."

Seeing Zhou Yuan's gentle expression, full of goodwill.

Granny Huai breathed a sigh of relief.

Fine.

The visitor was a virtuous man.

"We should treat you well as a senior has arrived."

"But this place is barren and lacks delicacies; only fine tea and fruits await us."

"If you don't mind, senior, please rest in the valley and let this old woman show you some hospitality."

Granny Huai thought the Daoist priest wouldn't take her polite words seriously.

Impoverished rural areas are hardly suitable for formal occasions.

How could we allow such a being to set foot inside?

Little did they expect that Zhou Yuan had other plans in mind.

'Since attaining enlightenment, my fortune has flourished like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.'

First it was the Innate Grotto-heaven of Wuyi Mountain, and now another karmic connection has been triggered by these plant spirits.

No matter how he calculated it...

This predestined connection remained unfulfilled.

'It seems we share some kind of destiny.'

'But it was not a preordained opportunity.'

Zhou Yuan pondered these thoughts.

Only by spending more time with the spirits and creatures of the valley can one truly understand its essence.

So he went along with it and laughed:

"Good!"

"This Dao Cultivation the earth for over a hundred years."

"We were just looking for a place to rest."

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, young friend."

Unaware of Zhou Yuan's thoughts, Granny Huai accepted the invitation from the Daoist priest.

He was stunned for a moment, then his expression quickly changed.

He said enthusiastically:

"Greetings, senior."

Having said that, he led Zhou Yuan into the valley.

Within the valley, spiritual energy abounds, rare flowers and herbs flourish evergreen, and all sorts of celestial blossoms thrive.

Plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, chrysanthemums, pines, cypresses, and ancient

There are nearly a thousand kinds of plants and trees.

Numerous plants swayed their bodies, bowing respectfully, and the boundless energy of the plants manifested various wondrous phenomena.

Zhou Yuan was delighted upon seeing this.

In this life, my true form is also green bamboo.

Plants and other living things are already rare.

Quite a few of them here have developed intelligence.

With a thought, a jade bottle appeared in his hand.

The water in the bottle shimmered with the colors of the sun, moon, and stars.

Although these spirits have developed intelligence, they are mostly in a state of confusion and ignorance.

Using the Three Lights Divine Water to nourish oneself rashly would be counterproductive.

The jade bottle contains the Three Lights Divine Water, diluted with innate spiritual spring water.

This is most suitable for this context.

"I am very pleased to meet you all today."

"Immortal herbs and divine trees should be nourished with the water of spiritual springs."

After saying this, Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, tilted the jade bottle in his hand, and the spiritual spring inside immediately turned into a sky full of spiritual rain.

It fell into the valley in a light drizzle.

At this moment, all the Plant Spirits felt a pure and ethereal energy emanating from their primordial spirits.

It then swept over his entire body.

At this moment, the world became clearer and more distinct in their hearts.

Many Plant Spirits directly transformed into their Dao Body and respectfully bowed to Zhou Yuan:

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Zhou Yuan gazed at the garden full of spring colors, clapped his hands, and laughed:

"Great kindness."
