Mythical Grand Unity, Saints Beg Me Not to Show Off

After settling in, Ao Chen immediately sat cross-legged, sinking his mind into the vast and boundless Dao rhythm of Buzhou Mountain, his Heaven-Defying Comprehension fully activated!

He attempted to grasp the mysteries of the Force Law that supported heaven and earth;

He tried to capture the lingering imprint of creation left behind from Pangu Creates the World;

He sought to comprehend the true meaning of stability and immortality contained within the world's pillar...

Yet the Great Dao contained in Buzhou Mountain was too vast, too profound! It was the legacy of Pangu the Great, the very foundation of the Primordial World.

Even with Ao Chen's Heaven-Defying Comprehension, it felt like a mortal gazing at the heavens—he could only glimpse a fraction of the iceberg, unable to delve deeper.

Every attempt to analyze further was repelled by the overwhelming Pangu's Will or the pressure of the Great Dao, causing his Primordial Spirit to sting.

"So difficult! No wonder it's called Pangu's Spine!"

Far from discouraged, Ao Chen grew even more excited.

"But precisely because of this, it's worth comprehending!"

He changed his strategy, no longer forcing a leap to the summit. Instead, he calmed his mind, like a sponge absorbing water, taking in, absorbing, and verifying bit by bit.

He discovered that merely enduring the pressure from Buzhou Mountain was an excellent tempering for himself!

The omnipresent Pangu's Pressure, like billions of divine hammers, constantly pounded his flesh, Primordial Spirit, and the Star River Universe within him!

This caused his recently perfected Mythical Earth Immortal realm to be continuously compressed, refined, and consolidated! His foundation became unprecedentedly stable!

His physical body grew tougher under the pressure, as if imbued with a trace of Buzhou Mountain's immortal essence.

His Primordial Spirit became more condensed and pure.

The operation of the Star River Universe within him also became smoother and more stable, and his control over the Space-Time Law grew more adept.

"This Buzhou Mountain is not only a sacred ground for enlightenment but also an excellent place for tempering the body, refining the spirit, and stabilizing the Dao foundation!" Ao Chen rejoiced inwardly.

Just as he immersed himself in this unique state of cultivation, he keenly sensed that within the vast region around Buzhou Mountain, there seemed to be a faint, elusive Sha Qi filled with violence and slaughter!

Occasionally, from extremely distant directions, earth-shaking sounds of battle and the aftershocks of law collisions reached him.

"Oh? It seems the Primordial Continent is not peaceful."

Ao Chen opened his eyes, thoughtful.

"The Witch and Demon Clans must be starting to show themselves, contending for the position of world protagonists, beginning to clash, right?"

He shook his head, temporarily setting aside these conflicts.

"The turmoil outside has nothing to do with me for now."

"The urgent task is to use the pressure and Dao rhythm of Buzhou Mountain to polish my foundation to perfection, preparing fully for the future breakthrough to Mythical Heavenly Immortal."

Having made up his mind, Ao Chen closed his eyes again, sinking his mind entirely into the comprehension of Buzhou Mountain's Great Dao and the tempering of his own Dao foundation.

He decided to cultivate quietly here at the foot of Buzhou Mountain for a time!

To use this foremost divine mountain of the Primordial World as the first whetstone on his path to enlightenment!

Chapter 12: The Demon Emperor's Hidden Hatred and Killing Intent Stir, Pangu's Bone Spur Transforms into a Divine Edge

While Ao Chen was slaying Demon Saint Ci Tie and continuing his journey toward Buzhou Mountain, Far away in the Purple Cloud Palace, amidst the chaos beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, the sage Hongjun sat on a high platform, speaking the true words of the Great Dao. Heavenly flowers fell, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth.

Below, the Three Thousand Red Dust Guests listened with rapt attention, each immersed in the profound principles of the Dao.

Suddenly, one of those seated on the foremost mats—surrounded by blazing solar true flames, wearing an imperial crown, and bearing a dignified countenance, the Demon Emperor Dijun—felt his mind jolt violently!

He clearly sensed that a trace of his lifebound mark, left within the Primordial Spirit of his capable general, Demon Saint Ci Tie, had completely extinguished!

Ci Tie had fallen?

An uncontrollable rage surged from the depths of Dijun's heart!

Ci Tie was a pillar of his Demon Clan Heavenly Court, a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal-level Demon Saint, immensely powerful and utterly loyal!

And now he had fallen silently? During the time Dijun had come to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the Dao?

Who? How bold! To dare kill a Demon Saint of his Demon Clan Heavenly Court?

A golden flame flickered in Dijun's eyes, and he instinctively tried to deduce the heavenly secrets to find the true culprit!

But this was a sage's dojo; the heavenly secrets were already obscured, and with Hongjun lecturing, the manifestation of the Great Dao's laws further interfered with all deduction!

He could only vaguely sense the general area of Ci Tie's fall, seemingly near Buzhou Mountain, but the specific murderer and the methods used were completely unclear!

"Hmph!"

Dijun suppressed the fury and killing intent in his heart, maintaining the appearance of listening to the Dao, but inwardly he had already condemned the unknown murderer to death!

"Whoever you are—a remnant of the Witch Clan, or some blind hidden power—daring to slay my Heavenly Court's Demon Saint, once I leave this Purple Cloud Palace, I will annihilate your soul, ensuring you never reincarnate for eternity!"

Beside him, Eastern Emperor Taiyi seemed to sense his elder brother's emotional fluctuation and cast a questioning glance. Dijun gave an almost imperceptible shake of his head, signaling they would discuss it later.

The sound of the Dao still echoed faintly in the Purple Cloud Palace, but in the heart of Demon Emperor Dijun, a seed of certain death had already been planted.

On the other side, completely unaware of this, Ao Chen continued to comprehend the Dao within Buzhou Mountain.

However, he did not seek out a place to go into seclusion. Instead, like a true pilgrim, carrying reverence for the great god Pangu and curiosity toward this foremost divine mountain of the primordial world, he began to wander the outer regions of the Buzhou Mountain range.

The Pangu's Pressure here was even more terrifying—the earth was incomparably hard, and the space was extraordinarily stable. Yet at the same time, the Dao resonance between heaven and earth was clearer and more active.

Ao Chen endured the pressure to temper his physical body and inner universe while activating his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, observing the unique creatures and sights of this place.

He saw strange innate vines, rooted in the mountain rock, that could slowly grow by absorbing Pangu's Pressure;

He saw giant beasts bearing rare bloodlines, honing their bodies under the pressure, their roars resonating with the laws;

He also discovered peculiar ores and spirit herbs that had been twisted and transformed by Pangu's Will and the aura of Buzhou Mountain.

"As expected of something formed from Pangu's spine—everywhere is creation, everywhere is Dao resonance!" Ao Chen felt more and more that this journey was worthwhile.

One day, he ventured deep into an extremely precipitous giant canyon that seemed to have been split open by a massive axe.

Here, Pangu's Pressure was even more concentrated, and faint strands of extremely sharp Sha Qi, as if capable of cutting through anything, lingered in the space.

Suddenly, Ao Chen's heart leaped. He sensed that deep within the canyon, hidden within the rock wall, there was an extremely restrained yet sharply revealing special aura, carrying a sense of immortality and unyieldingness!

"What is this?"

Ao Chen's mind stirred. He pushed aside the rubble ahead and arrived at the source of that aura.

There, on a smooth, mirror-like black stone wall, a sword about three feet long, shaped like a beast's bone, its entire body a simple, ancient gray-green color with no luster on its surface, was deeply embedded within it!

This sword looked ordinary, even somewhat damaged, but the moment Ao Chen saw it, the Star River Universe within him involuntarily accelerated its operation, and a craving and resonance arose from the depths of his Primordial Spirit!

He reached out his hand, fully activating his Heaven-Defying Comprehension to analyze the essence of this sword!

In an instant, a vast, ancient torrent of information, filled with Supreme Might and a sense of sharpness, flooded into his sea of consciousness!

"Pangu... Spine Bone Spur?"

"Pangu Creates the World, the spine as the pillar, enduring countless kalpas, tempered by the aura of heaven and earth and Pangu's Will, born of nature and nurtured by the earth—it has actually transformed into an Innate Spirit Sword?"

Ao Chen was utterly shocked!

He could clearly sense that within this seemingly ordinary bone spur were contained forty-eight complete and powerful innate restrictions!

Its quality was so high that it was unmistakably a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure! And a killing-type sword-shaped spiritual treasure at that!

This was like having a pillow handed to him just when he was feeling sleepy.

He had just created the Grass Extinguishing Sword Art and was worrying about lacking a suitable divine weapon that could perfectly bear his Sword Intent of Annihilation. Unexpectedly, right here at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, he encountered an innate divine sword formed from Pangu's Bone Spur.

"Kunwu... This sword shall be named Kunwu!"

Inspiration struck Ao Chen, and he settled on a name for the divine sword that was about to come into his possession.

Kunwu, an ancient divine mountain, also meaning divine iron, perfectly matched the origin of this sword formed from Pangu's Spine Bone Spur!

Suppressing his excitement, he began to attempt to claim this Kunwu Sword.

However, just as his hand was about to touch the hilt, the Kunwu Sword suddenly trembled violently!

An unyielding will from Pangu and the supreme sharpness of Pangu Creates the World erupted without warning!

WUMMMM!!!

A terrifying Sword Intent shot into the sky, as if it would split this canyon, even heaven and earth itself! The surrounding space was instantly sliced into countless fragments!

If Ao Chen hadn't been prepared and shielded himself with the Star River Universe in time, he would have been severely wounded on the spot by the autonomous counterattack of this masterless divine sword!

"What a powerful Sword Intent! Truly a legacy left by Pangu!" Instead of being alarmed, Ao Chen was delighted, his battle intent surging even higher. "But today, you are destined to belong to me!"

He held nothing back, unleashing the full power of his Mythical Earth Immortal cultivation!

The power of the Star River Universe within him surged forth, and at the same time, he formed a sword with his fingers, executing the Grass Extinguishing Sword Art he had just comprehended!

A gray Sword Qi, containing the true meaning of Annihilation, met the Pangu's sharpness erupted by the Kunwu Sword!

Sword Intent against Sword Intent, Dao against Dao!

Ao Chen would use his self-created Mythical Grand Unity Method and Grass Extinguishing Sword Art to subdue this supreme divine blade formed from Pangu's Bone Spur!
