Hearing the system's notification, Qin Feng was instantly invigorated and sprang to his feet with a kip-up. He immediately began to inspect his rewards.

Previously, Hong Yun had answered correctly, earning him generous rewards as well.

However, Qin Feng currently possessed no cultivation base, so he dared not consume those spiritual fruits recklessly.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Primordial Creation Scripture!] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining Epoch Pill *18] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Chaos Bead!] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining Merit *888,888 points!] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining Great Dao Laws *100!]

Qin Feng grinned from ear to ear, laying out all his rewards before him.

In addition to the items from the gift package, there were also Great Dao Laws *18, Yellow Middle Plums *6, Top-grade Purple-patterned Flat Peaches *12, and Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures *6.

He began to examine each item one by one.

Primordial Creation Scripture?

Qin Feng picked up a scroll of the scripture. As soon as he opened it, it transformed into a stream of light and submerged into his mind.

A vast and mighty power surged in frantically, nearly shattering Qin Feng's consciousness in an instant.

At this moment, Qin Feng felt as if he were standing in the midst of a boundless, infinite starry sky.

In what felt like a mere split second, Qin Feng seemed to have lived through countless tens of thousands of years.

An ancient and weathered aura erupted violently, completely cleansing his body of all chaotic impurities.

At the same time, enlightenment dawned upon his heart.

The Primordial Creation Scripture contained all manner of supreme creations from the past, present, and future. It was a peak cultivation technique capable of crossing to the other shore and leading directly to the end of the Great Dao!

As for the many cultivation methods contained within it, Qin Feng only had a superficial understanding for now.

Withdrawing his focus for the time being, Qin Feng continued to inspect the other items.

"System? What is an Epoch Pill?"

[Epoch Pill! It is the result of the Water-Fire Banner previously paid by Di Jun for his answer. The system decomposed the power within it and refined it into eighteen Epoch Pills. Each Epoch Pill contains the mana a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal can condense in one epoch!] [And within this spiritual treasure, there were 100 Great Dao Laws, which have also been awarded to the host!] [As well as the 800,000 years of mana deducted from Di Jun!]

Qin Feng was overjoyed!

The mana condensed by a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal over a single Epoch?

How powerful must that be!

It seems this Innate Spiritual Treasure is truly extraordinary!

Not only can it refine so many Epoch Pills, but it can also extract 100 Great Dao Laws.

If Di Jun were to know of Qin Feng's thoughts, he would surely be angered to death.

One must know that Innate Spiritual Treasures are fixed by the heavens and earth; once one is destroyed, it is gone forever.

As for the Great Dao Laws, once one reaches the Golden Immortal realm, they can be perceived and refined on their own.

As for mana?

What Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal would ever lack mana!

Those who reach the realm of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal have already spent countless Kalpas in the Primordial World; how could they possibly lack mana?

What they value more is their insight into the Great Dao!

That is why Di Jun didn't even blink when 800,000 years of his mana were deducted!

Qin Feng took a deep breath and asked again, "Then what are the uses of this Yellow Middle Plum and the Purple-Veined Flat Peach?"

[The Yellow Middle Plum and the Purple-Veined Flat Peach are both among the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots. Consuming them can improve one's Root Foundation and provides a certain chance to gain insight into the Great Dao.]

"And what is a Root Foundation?"

[The Root Foundation determines one's upper limit. With an Ordinary Root Foundation, it is difficult to even enter the Golden Immortal realm! A Houtian Demonic God Root Foundation can reach the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm! A Xiantian Deity Root Foundation has no upper limit and possesses the potential for Proving the Dao!]

Qin Feng sighed with emotion, "Are kings and nobles born with such status?"

The ancients did not deceive me; it seems that at any time, a person's foundation determines their upper limit.

If he hadn't obtained the Innate Spiritual Roots and the system, without such fortuitous encounters, let alone cultivating smoothly, he would likely have struggled just to keep his life.

After a brief exchange via Divine Sense, the system replied in a cold, mechanical, and emotionless manner according to its programmed settings, which made Qin Feng feel quite bored.

Having understood everything, Qin Feng decided to begin his cultivation immediately; he had to improve his strength rapidly.

First, he would consume the Yellow Middle Plum to change his own Root Foundation.

Six Yellow Middle Plums!

Twelve Top-grade Purple-patterned Flat Peaches!

And 18 Epoch Pills!

Hum!

A wave of pressure was quietly gathering.

It gradually spread—ten miles, a hundred miles... ten thousand miles!

Within a radius of ten thousand miles, a heavy, imposing force permeated the air. The stifling, oppressive atmosphere made the many demonic beasts restless.

One after another, they instinctively fled from this place.

Boom!

Qin Feng had already consumed all the Innate Spiritual Roots and Epoch Pills!

The tenth level of Qi Refining was broken through in an instant!

In the blink of an eye, he reached the Nascent Soul stage!

The next moment, he broke through several realms in succession, ascending to Earth Immortal!

He paused at the Earth Immortal realm, and after three breaths, he broke through to Heavenly Immortal!

He advanced all the way as if walking on flat ground, without a single bottleneck!

Finally, he stepped into the Golden Immortal realm!

Mid Golden Immortal!

Late Golden Immortal Grand Perfection!

Ahhh!

At this moment, Qin Feng was enveloped by violent power.

Within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, endless spiritual energy came rolling in.

Above the sky, a massive vortex, like a funnel, slowly rotated.

Endless spiritual energy surged madly into Qin Feng's body.

At this moment, Qin Feng had long since collapsed to the ground.

The towering tree he had previously crouched beneath, along with everything within a radius of several tens of thousands of meters, had been almost leveled to the ground by the terrifying pressure.

Feeling the formidable power within his body—the sensation that he could destroy the heavens and the earth with a mere gesture—Qin Feng could not help but look up and roar at the sky.

For a moment, the myriad demonic beasts within the surrounding ten thousand miles of forest were struck with terror, fleeing in all directions.

Countless beasts formed a surging tide, stampeding everywhere.

Within a radius of a million miles, many powerful cultivators were filled with suspicion and unease.

"Could a demonic beast be breaking through?"

"This aura is so powerful! It is almost comparable to a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!"

It was not just within a million-mile radius; even those at Buzhou Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, the Witch Race, and Penglai Immortal Island—many Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saints—could clearly sense Qin Feng's breakthrough.

However, these things only managed to catch their attention; they did not warrant much concern.

To these powerful beings, a mere Golden Immortal was not worth keeping an eye on.

Hoo!

Qin Feng felt the violent spiritual energy surrounding him and secretly felt a sense of regret.

If he had only known how to cultivate, he wouldn't have wasted so much mana in vain.

This was the mana of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal spanning eighteen Yuan periods!

It even contained the eight hundred thousand years of mana from Di Jun!

Yet, it had only allowed him to break through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Immortal realm!

However, he also made a guess.

Perhaps a portion of the mana had been wasted, and on the other hand, it was possible that this mana had all been consumed to force through his bottlenecks.

Although more than a dozen Innate Spiritual Roots had helped him alter his foundation, making his bottlenecks much weaker, he still required a massive amount of power to break through.

Furthermore, when he was breaking through just now, he keenly sensed that the Primordial Creation Scripture had begun to circulate on its own.

This cultivation technique had also absorbed a tremendous amount of power.

The Primordial Creation Scripture consisted of three types of techniques:

The Indestructible Past Technique!

The Myriad Tribulation Present Body!

The Shore of the Future Method!

These three techniques, encompassing divine abilities, Daoist methods, and physical cultivation, were extremely powerful.

There were all sorts of wonders that even Qin Feng, with his current Golden Immortal cultivation, had yet to fully comprehend.

Qin Feng quickly released his Divine Sense, his thoughts covering a radius of ten thousand miles.

Sensing that he was almost the only one left in this area, he couldn't help but offer a wry smile.

I wonder, he thought to himself, if the massive commotion caused by my breakthrough just now might have alerted other powerhouses in the Primordial World.

He quickly gathered the remaining items he hadn't had time to inspect, flew away, and sought out a safe place to land.

On the other side, Kunpeng had already arrived at the dojo of East Prince Gong.

Meanwhile, Di Jun and Taiyi had arrived at Buzhou Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, I never expected we would meet again so soon after our parting at Purple Cloud Palace!" East Prince Gong came out with a cheerful smile to welcome him.

A sharp glint flashed in Kunpeng's eyes. "Let's keep it brief. I have a great opportunity to offer you, Fellow Daoist!"

"Oh? Please, come inside and we shall talk!" East Prince Gong's expression remained unchanged as he led Kunpeng into the dojo.

Buzhou Mountain.

Nuwa did not appear, but her calm voice reached the ears of Taiyi and Di Jun. "Fellow Daoists, I am currently in seclusion and unable to come out to greet you. Please forgive my discourtesy!"

Taiyi frowned slightly. "In that case, we shall come another day!"

Nuwa replied indifferently, "You two should avoid suspicion. The Witch Race has already raised questions in the group earlier; if they see you here now, it will inevitably lead to misunderstandings!"

Di Jun replied in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, there is no need for such concerns! In my view, everything said in the Chat Group is true. The War of the Witches and Demons is absolutely unavoidable!"

Nuwa's expression changed drastically, and she appeared before them, drifting through the air. "Why are you both so certain?"

Di Jun narrowed his eyes. "That will require a bit of your time, Fellow Daoist. Let me analyze the current situation of the Primordial World for you, as well as the subsequent plans of the Demon Race!"
