Mid-Stage Physical Profound Immortal

It was truly a case of a mountain seeming close enough to reach, only for the journey to kill a horse. After traveling for an Eon, Old Ancestor Styx had even comprehended a new divine ability, Soaring Golden Light, greatly increasing his speed. Yet in Old Ancestor Styx's eyes, Zhou Mountain still had not changed in the slightest! He could not help but sigh, "Great God Pangu truly is a role model for us all. His divine might is boundless. With one person and one axe, he created such a vast world."

The entire journey had been utterly desolate. Not to mention Spiritual Roots or Spiritual Treasures, he had not even seen a single blade of grass. Fortunately, after cultivating for so many years, Old Ancestor Styx's Dao heart had long since become unshakable. Had it been him when he had first arrived in the Great Wilderness, he probably would have gone mad long ago.

It made sense when he thought about it. Even after being refined by the Heaven and Earth Membrane, Chaos Spiritual Qi was still not something ordinary Living Beings could withstand. When he grew tired of walking, Styx would sit cross-legged on the Karma Red Lotus and focus on cultivating his physical body. With the Karma Red Lotus's spirituality, it would not veer off course simply because no one was directing it. Once he grew tired of cultivating, he would descend and continue traveling with Soaring Golden Light. After being used for so long, Soaring Golden Light was almost at the point of perfection!

Along the way, he had not encountered a single Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure. However, his physical cultivation had already caught up with his cultivation level, reaching the Mid-stage Profound Immortal realm as well. There were even signs that he was about to break through to the Late-stage Profound Immortal realm.

Although traveling for these two Eons had yielded no material gains, his state of mind had become even more tenacious after two Eons of tempering. The improvement in his state of mind had also driven the advancement of his realm. Although his cultivation level continued to be suppressed even more severely, his realm had already broken through to the early stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!

At the moment his realm broke through, Old Ancestor Styx suddenly felt a tugging force from within his bloodline. Following that sensation, he arrived at a mountaintop. There, Old Ancestor Styx discovered a Formation. This was the first Formation he had seen since leaving the Blood Sea. Delighted by the discovery, he did not destroy it by force. Instead, following the sensation from his bloodline, he began refining the Great Formation. Even though the bloodline resonance had greatly reduced the difficulty of refining it, Old Ancestor Styx still spent an entire Eon before completely refining the Great Formation.

After finishing the refinement, Styx could not help but feel relieved. Fortunately, he had refined his bloodline back then, leaving himself with only the Pangu bloodline. This time, he had also refrained from breaking the Formation by force. Otherwise, he probably would have died here and returned to the Blood Sea to be reborn!

It turned out that this Formation was called the Azure Emperor Heaven-Opening Formation. The object within it was none other than the World Tree, which, according to destiny, was meant to replace Pangu and support Heaven and Earth. It should have emerged directly when Pangu created the world and supported Heaven and Earth. However, whether Great God Pangu had been too hurried when carrying out World Creation or the battle at the time had been too fierce, the World Tree had not yet had time to emerge before it was struck by a ray of Pangu Axe Light. It had nearly been split in two! Even so, the World Tree had been gravely wounded and could no longer support Heaven and Earth. After the Great Wilderness was created, it fell from Chaos into the Great Wilderness!

It was also because the Pangu Axe Light remained within the World Tree that it both prevented the World Tree from recovering and caused the Great Dao, when evolving the Innate formations of innate objects, to combine the World Tree's Imperial Dao Qi as the ancestor of all Wood with the Projection of the Pangu Axe Light, thereby creating the Azure Emperor Heaven-Opening Formation!

This time, it was also because Old Ancestor Styx's bloodline originated from Great God Pangu. When he passed through this region, he was sensed by the Pangu Axe Light, which brought about Old Ancestor Styx's arrival. However, because the World Tree had been wounded by Great God Pangu, it instinctively rejected the approach of the Pangu bloodline, which was why the difficulty of refining it had increased. If not for the assistance of the Pangu Axe Light, Old Ancestor Styx would have had no chance of refining this Great Formation...
