Slept for a Hundred Thousand Years

This axe strike directly shattered space itself!

Even with the axe light still billions of miles away, Li Xuan already felt an endless surge of qi rushing toward him, blasting his face with searing pain, his entire body seemingly about to split apart!

"What the f*ck!?"

In that instant, Li Xuan was so terrified he nearly soiled himself!

Without a second word, he spun around and fled back the way he came!

At the same time, he roared in his heart: "Isn't this setting me up!? When the hell did I become one of the Three Thousand Demon Gods!?"

But his speed was just as fast as when he arrived.

Coupled with his desperate flight, it took him only five seconds to escape back to his previous position.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump...

Back in that familiar expanse of chaotic gas, Li Xuan's heart pounded wildly.

He first glanced back to confirm the axe strike hadn't chased him.

Only then did his body go limp, collapsing onto the chaotic energy.

"What the f*ck... what the f*ck... what the f*ck..."

Cold sweat only now began to seep out. Li Xuan gasped heavily, raised a hand to wipe his brow, and cursed nonstop...

He had nearly died just now!

Too terrifying! This was absolutely too terrifying!

"Ding, host has completed watching the battle of the Three Thousand Demon Gods. Reward: one Innate Spiritual Root Gourd Vine, one Innate Supreme Treasure Thirty-Six-Petaled Primordial Creation Green Lotus."

Just as Li Xuan was panting heavily, still shaken, the Choice System's voice suddenly rang out.

Then.

First, a verdant green vine sprout appeared at Li Xuan's left side, swaying unceasingly.

Then, a lotus platform about ten feet across and five feet tall, entirely emerald green, shimmering with lively radiance, with a full thirty-six petals, appeared at Li Xuan's right.

Innate Spiritual Root, Gourd Vine.

Innate Supreme Treasure, Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform.

"Oh ho?"

The appearance of these two items instantly brought some comfort to Li Xuan's frightened little heart.

He shot upright, staring at the lush, adorable vine and the ancient, majestic lotus platform, his eyes gleaming with light!

These were some good stuff!

He gently reached out and stroked the gourd vine.

Then, with a shift of his body, he leaped onto the Thirty-Six-Petaled Primordial Creation Green Lotus.

He looked left, looked right, then cackled strangely as he sat cross-legged, putting on airs: "Ahem... Boundless Life Buddha..."

As an Innate Supreme Treasure, only one level below a Primordial Supreme Treasure.

The effects of the Thirty-Six-Petaled Primordial Creation Green Lotus went without saying.

The moment Li Xuan sat on it, he felt streams of spiritual energy continuously converging and merging into his body.

The Thirty-Six-Petaled Primordial Creation Green Lotus could convert chaotic energy into pure spiritual energy that was easier to absorb and refine!

Spiritual energy entering the body—this sensation was incomparably comfortable.

Coupled with his earlier frenzy and the scare from Pangu.

Already utterly exhausted, Li Xuan unknowingly slumped over on the lotus platform and fell into a deep sleep...

"Ding!"

He didn't know how long he had slept, when suddenly a crisp, pleasant notification sound rang out, jolting Li Xuan awake.

Wiping away some drool, Li Xuan groggily sat up and stretched.

"Choice System generating."

"Choice One: Travel to the center of chaos, witness Pangu's Open Heaven and creation of the Great Desolate World. Task completion reward: one random Primordial Supreme Treasure or one random Primordial Spiritual Root."

"Choice Two: Travel to the center of chaos, prevent Pangu's Open Heaven and creation of the Great Desolate World. Task completion reward: Primordial Supreme Treasure (Primordial Axe), Primordial Supreme Treasure (Chaos Pearl), Primordial Supreme Treasure (Earth-Splitting Chisel), Body-Tempering Treasure (Pangu's Essence Blood), Cultivation Sacred Method (Primordial Great Dao)..."

"Choice Three: Continue cultivating here for one hundred thousand years, reaching the Heavenly Immortal realm. Task completion reward: one random cultivation scripture."

Listening to the Choice System's prompts, the same kind of projection he had seen before appeared before Li Xuan's eyes.

Li Xuan had no idea how long he had slept.

He rubbed his eyes and looked over, seeing his own data attributes.

His cultivation, which had been Earthly Immortal Level One, had now reached Earthly Immortal Level Six.

Then, he stared at the three choices and let out a scoff: "Trying to trick me again? Pangu's axe strike didn't kill me before—that was my luck. Go back now? I'd get blown to death by his breath! And you want me to stop him from opening heaven? Do I look that big-balled to you?"

Thus, without a second thought, Li Xuan directly raised his hand and tapped the choice to cultivate for one hundred thousand years.

I'm not stupid—after what happened last time, there's no way I'll be fooled again!

Nothing matters more than my own life.

Let alone some Primordial Supreme Treasure.

After all, no matter how good something is, it's useless if you're dead to use it.

"Ding, host has chosen to cultivate for one hundred thousand years."

With the system's voice, the surrounding chaos energy rippled faintly, then returned to normal.

Li Xuan curled his lip, glanced at the Innate Spiritual Root Gourd Vine, which had grown noticeably longer and thicker, and let out a snicker.

Then he tilted his head again, flopped down onto the Thirty-Six Petaled Creation Green Lotus, and continued snoring away.

Sure, I'm lonely—but in my dreams, I've got everything...

The corner of Li Xuan's mouth curled up slightly; he was clearly having a good dream...

At the center of chaos...

Earth, water, fire, wind, and the roar of thunderous light churned without cease, evolving into a primal yellow hue, an immeasurable terror filling an unknowable expanse!

With such power, if Li Xuan had actually chosen to come here, he'd probably be reduced to ash the moment he showed up!

This boundless primal yellow light swelled slowly, expanding millions of miles with every breath.

And at the center of this primal yellow light stood a giant.

He trampled the dark beneath his feet, held the yellow above his hands, roaring endlessly, bellowing without bound!

His form swelled wildly—no longer measurable in mere billions or trillions of zhang!

Boundless beyond measure...!

The primordial world of heaven and earth had officially begun to take shape!

"Greetings, Sect Leader!!"

On the Thirty-Six Petaled Creation Green Lotus, Li Xuan sat cross-legged with a smug grin, putting on airs.

Below him, countless great beings, primordial creatures, and even the indistinct, unreadable Three Pure Sages, the Two Western Sect Leaders, and Empress Nuwa—all prostrated themselves before him.

He had already become the first sage of the primordial world!

"Hahaha! Rise, all of you, rise!"

Li Xuan laughed smugly, raising a hand to address the countless beings.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

Another loud cry came from the side. Li Xuan turned his head with a beaming smile.

But what met his eyes was a pair of eyes brimming with murderous intent.

Then, the owner of those eyes raised a hand and brought an axe down!

"Ah!!"

With a scream, Li Xuan's eyes snapped open. He shot up like a spring, drenched in cold sweat.

The Thirty-Six Petaled Creation Green Lotus still glowed faintly.

The Innate Spiritual Root Gourd Vine swayed gently, having clearly grown more than three times larger.

"Pant... pant..."

Standing on the lotus platform, Li Xuan gasped heavily a few times, raised a hand to wipe his cold sweat.

Only then did he mutter with lingering fear, "So it was a dream... scared the hell out of me..."

"Ding, host has completed the choice to cultivate for one hundred thousand years. Obtained cultivation technique: Profound Creation Marvelous Art."

"Ding, host's cultivation has broken through to Heavenly Immortal."

Just as he was wiping his sweat, another system prompt rang in Li Xuan's ear.

This time, it left him stunned.

Holy crap, I slept for one hundred thousand years!?
