Tai Yi and Di Jun Enter the Great Wilderness

This movement naturally caused the two immortal islands to shake violently, with spiritual energy becoming chaotic and colliding. Fortunately, the two brothers had already withdrawn the spiritual roots and treasures in advance.

Otherwise, under such harsh conditions, few would have survived.

Immediately after, the Chaos Pearl suddenly erupted with boundless might, mobilizing and assimilating Chaos Qi, causing the Chaos World Projection to transform from illusion into reality.

"Boom!"

His hands slammed together abruptly, and the Chaos World Projection, like the gaping maw of Taotie, swallowed both immortal islands whole.

But just as Xuanyuan withdrew the two islands, he had no idea that outside Guixu, the entire Primordial World seemed to be violently shaken by an invisible giant hand, the heavens and earth changing color, the sun and moon losing their light.

Guixu nearly severed all heavenly secrets, yet it was still part of the Primordial World. Though the islands had fallen into it, they still maintained a faint connection to the Primordial World.

But now, with Yuanqiao and Daiyu taken by Xuanyuan into the Chaos Pearl—which completely isolated karma and heavenly secrets—the resulting impact was naturally different.

The Five Elements were incomplete, and Heavenly Condemnation was inevitable.

Even a being as mighty as the Dragon-Kin Giant met a tragic end.

Because of the Chaos Pearl, Xuanyuan wouldn't be targeted by the Heavenly Dao.

But Old Ancestor Five Elements, who had only been somewhat involved before, was now seen by the Heavenly Dao as the chief culprit and suffered terribly.

He was no match for Hongjun to begin with, and after the Heavenly Dao inflicted Heavenly Condemnation, he became even more wretched.

Back in Guixu, after collecting the two immortal islands, Xuanyuan glanced at the six enormous tortoise shells radiating dense Sha Qi but did not take them.

He pulled Tongtian along and swung his ruler, shattering endless time and space, breaking through Guixu's barriers, and returning to the Primordial World.

After returning to the Primordial World, they went back to the East Sea.

The two brothers continued to investigate the water veins, preparing to search for the remaining three immortal islands still floating on the East Sea.

But because of the earlier commotion, the water veins of the Four Seas had become greatly disordered. After wandering for three thousand years, the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler had not detected any special time-space anomalies.

"The time is not yet ripe. It seems those three immortal islands won't emerge now." Xuanyuan sighed softly.

Their journey across the East Sea had been for the Three Immortal Islands, yet in the end, they never saw them. Instead, they fell into Guixu, disrupted Old Ancestor Five Elements' plans, and obtained the two islands of Yuanqiao and Daiyu.

In the unseen workings of fate, there was a destined flow of fortune. Without the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler and the Chaos Pearl, the two brothers could have wandered the East Sea for ages and never fallen into Guixu.

Just as when they had searched for Buzhou Mountain without success, all Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have their destined time to appear.

Xuanyuan could change some things, but not everything.

The Three Immortal Islands would likely become the foundation of Dong Wang Gong's immortal court.

In the original timeline, when the Witch Race existed, the Heavenly Court established by the Demon Race could not tolerate Dong Wang Gong's court. Now, without the Witch Race...

A flash of insight struck Xuanyuan. He sensed that the Calamity Qi of the Kalpa Tribulation in the heavens and earth had accumulated to a critical point. The eruption of the Kalpa Tribulation was an unstoppable trend.

Since the Ancestral Witches did not Establish a Clan, other Great Divine Powers would have to be sacrificed to dissipate the Calamity Qi.

Destined to be the leader of all male immortals and ambitious, Dong Wang Gong would most likely be the opponent facing Di Jun and Tai Yi on the chessboard of the Primordial World.

"A pity. If those three immortal islands truly haven't been plundered by Old Ancestor Five Elements, they must hold Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures," Tongtian said.

"We can come back later. For now, let's return to Pangu Hall. I still have matters to discuss with Sister Houtu." Xuanyuan shook his head.

Houtu and Nuwa were the best candidates for the Human Path. As an Ancestral Witch, Xuanyuan's establishment of the Human Path would have to wait until Houtu created the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Would she be forever trapped after transforming into the Six Paths of Reincarnation?

Xuanyuan felt this outcome was not good.

Guixu inherently carried the meaning of extinction and ceaselessly devoured Lost Souls. It would be better to let Houtu cultivate here and, when the time was right, use Guixu—this half-finished realm of reincarnation—to create the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The six tortoise shells of Golden Ao would also serve their purpose, corresponding to the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Wasn't that fate?

Hearing this, Tongtian had no objections.

The two immediately set off toward Buzhou Mountain.

This time, Xuanyuan did not travel slowly. Instead, he used his mastery of spatial power, combined with the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler—a Houtu Merit Spiritual Treasure capable of piercing space—to hasten their journey.

Before long, they arrived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain and entered Pangu Hall through the Mysterious Gate.

The two of them secluded themselves in Pangu Hall, which severed all heavenly secrets, and paid no heed to worldly affairs. However, because of the earlier upheaval in the heavens and earth, the entire Primordial World Earth had grown lively.

On the Sun Star, Di Jun and Tai Yi, the two brothers, grew restless from stillness. Carrying the Chaos Bell and the River Diagram and Luo Book, they set out to wander the Primordial World Earth, also planning to cause trouble for Dong Wang Gong and Ziwei Star Lord.

It is said that after Pangu Opens Heaven, the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Sky-Opening Axe, split into three, transforming into three Innate Supreme Treasures:

The Axe Blade became the Pangu Banner, the supreme offensive treasure;

The Axe Surface became the Taiji Diagram, capable of suppressing Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind;

These two treasures were still in Hongjun's hands, to be distributed later on the Treasure Distribution Rock to Laozi and Yuanshi.

The Axe Handle became the Chaos Bell, which was both offensive and defensive. Because it suppressed the starry sky, it fell onto the Sun Star and became Tai Yi's Companion Treasure. It was also the only Innate Supreme Treasure currently in the Primordial World.

The God-Slaying Spear, Pangu Banner, and Taiji Diagram were all in Hongjun's hands, and Hongjun resided high in the Purple Palace.

Not counting Xuanyuan, Tai Yi's Chaos Bell was the most powerful treasure in the Primordial World at this moment.

Last time, the two brothers had just Formed and Born and had not yet fully refined their treasures' restrictions, which allowed Dong Wang Gong to rescue Ziwei Star Lord.

Now, after several Eons of Secluded Cultivation, they could truly unleash part of their Supreme Treasures' power.

The Chaos Bell appeared in a form of chaotic, profound yellow; outside its body, the sun, moon, and stars, along with earth, water, fire, and wind, revolved around it, while inside, mountains, rivers, and the myriad races of the Primordial World Earth were faintly visible. Five-colored divine light illuminated the heavens, and the chaotic saintly might shook the universe.

It possessed the power to suppress the "Hongmeng World," the force to reverse the "Time and Space of the Heavens," the function to evolve the "Mysteries of the Heavenly Dao," and the ability to refine "Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind."

When fully activated, it could freeze time, suppress space, rebound attacks from any divine treasures or magical weapons, and negate damage from all divine powers and spells. It integrated offense and defense into one, and when worn atop the head, it ensured invincibility from the start.

Facing Tai Yi and Di Jun, who wielded such formidable treasures, Dong Wang Gong, despite being born from the first strand of Pure Yang Qi and possessing extraordinary origins, could only fight and retreat. In the end, he and Ziwei Star Lord withdrew all the way to the East Sea, relying on its boundless Water Qi to contend with them.

The Great Sun Golden Flame and True Sun Fire burned the sky and boiled the sea. As time wore on, the scale-armored creatures within the sea suffered heavy losses from the aftershocks of the battle.

And as the overlords of the East Sea, the Dragon Race was inevitably drawn into the conflict among these four Great Divine Powers.

At first, the Great Divine Powers paid it little heed, but later, as more and more Dragon Race Strong Practitioners fell, Candle Dragon and the Nine Sons of the Dragon, who had only recently emerged from seclusion, could no longer sit idly by.

This battle also forced many Great Divine Powers, who had Formed and Born after the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, to take a serious look at the Dragon Race—a once-mighty overlord now in decline!

One Golden Immortal of the Origin and nine Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection!

Even Tai Yi and Di Jun, with the Chaos Bell and the River Diagram and Luo Book, could only temporarily avoid their edge.

The grand trend could not be altered, but the effects of the constant accumulation of minor deviations were becoming More and More noticeable.

Undercurrents Surged across the Primordial World Earth, yet within Pangu Hall, all was serene.

"Dear Siblings, my Brother and I traveled the East Sea and obtained two Top-level Blessed Lands. They are fated to be with Gou Mang, Zhurong, Gonggong, Rushou, and Houtu."

Pangu Hall was formed from Pangu's heart, containing a world within. Though the two immortal islands were not small, they could be easily accommodated.

As soon as the immortal islands appeared, a pagoda and a pine tree were also brought out by Xuanyuan.

In an instant, the entire Pangu Hall was enveloped by the Dao rhythm of the Five Elements. The dense Innate Five Elements Essence Qi made the five Ancestral Witches—Zhurong and the others—stare wide-eyed.
