The Great Battle Begins-Houyi Chops Down the Tree?

The world, after a long period of division, tends to unite; after a long period of unity, tends to divide.

After the retreat of the Primordial Wilderness and Witch and Demon Races, there were no transcendent forces on the continent, resulting in a weakening of human power.

Although the Heavenly Court is the supreme power among all the heavens in the Three Realms, it is a power with a refereeing nature and is the administrator of the Three Realms.

The Primordial Wilderness is destined to be a place where a hundred flowers bloom, and it is impossible for one flower to stand out alone.

Therefore, a new race is bound to rise, just like the Innate Three Races in the ancient times, as well as the Witch and Monster Two Clans. It remains to be seen who can shoulder this heavy responsibility now.

As the saying goes:

The mighty Yangtze River flows eastward, its waves washing away the heroes of the past. Right and wrong, success and failure, all vanish in the blink of an eye. The green hills remain, witnessing countless sunsets.

White-haired fishermen and woodcutters on the riverbank are accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine brings joyful encounters. So many things, past and present, are all consigned to laughter and conversation.

In the Southern Continent of the Primordial Wilderness, within a mountain range, two major clans are locked in a standoff: the Sky Eagle Clan and the Azure White Crane Clan. These two clans were originally vassals of the Phoenix Clan. After the Phoenix Clan's defeat, these two clans fell into a period of peace, practically living in seclusion.

The two races emerged before the First Yuan Dynasty, and then began to vie for power and profit. Now, the Southern Continent is in a period of power vacuum.

The Phoenix Clan was already small in number, and now some of them are guarding the Volcano of Immortality while others have followed Yuan Jin into the Heaven Realm, causing some clans in the Southern Continent to become restless.

With such a large pie in front of them, who wouldn't be tempted? So, all the races began to prepare themselves, slowly developing their power and also starting to infiltrate the Southern Continent to see how the Phoenix Clan would react.

In the end, they discovered that the Phoenix Clan didn't care about any of this and let them do as they pleased, so all the clans developed rapidly until eventually they came to border each other. With borders came conflicts.

This is how the conflict between the Sky Eagle Clan and the Azure Sky White Crane Clan originated, and to this day the two sides are locked in battle in the canyon plains.

"Kongling, the Tianyuan Mountains are the territory of our Tianying clan. Retreat immediately, or I will spare your life!" Tiancheng Daoist, the patriarch of the Tianying clan, shouted sternly.

The Void Ancestor snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Old thief Tian Cheng, you talk too much. If you want to fight, then fight. Why waste words? Everyone knows that since the ancient times, the Tianyuan Mountain Range has been the territory of our White Crane Clan. This was said by Lord Yuanfeng himself."

"Hmph, Kongling, times have changed. The glory of the Phoenix Clan is gone, and we are no longer its Phoenix Clan. What's the use of saying all this?" Tian Cheng Daoist's attitude was extremely arrogant, showing no regard for the Phoenix Clan whatsoever.

However, Tian Cheng certainly had the ability to do so. After all, who could have imagined that the weak Tian Cheng Daoist would become the ancestor of the Sky Eagle Clan and achieve the Quasi-Saint status?

The Phoenix Clan now appears to consist of only a few Quasi-Saint magical power, just a handful of minor figures, and doesn't seem like much.

However, with the Phoenix Clan joining the Purple Mansion, and now in the Heavenly Court, no one dares to underestimate them.

Kong Ling took out a flag, held it in her hand, and said, "Tian Cheng, stop with the nonsense. Rules are rules. Even if the Phoenix Clan has declined, you still have to abide by them. Today, you either retreat or taste the power of the Ancestor's Tian Feng Flag!"

Seeing that the two sides could not reach an agreement, Tian Cheng stopped stalling and directly summoned the spiritual treasure, the Golden Flame Blade.

"Thump!"

With a deafening roar, the two sides quickly clashed, with millions of troops from both races fighting on the Tianyuan Plain.

Such battles not only occurred in the Southern Primordial World, but also in the east and north. Only the Western Continent remained quiet. This was partly due to the Jieyin and Zhunti, and partly because there were no large clans here, only some small clans. These small clans had no ambition to dominate and only wanted to live peacefully in the Primordial World Continent.

In the Heaven Realm, Donghua roams above the Sun Star, overlooking the entire Primordial World Continent.

Since the deaths of Di Jun and Taiyi, the Sun Star has been without a master, or rather, there has been no suitable person to be its master.

The Sun Star, the Moon Star, and the Ziwei Star —this is the most special place in the Starry Sky, and also the star with imperial destiny.

"Lu Ya, you are truly skilled. I, the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, could not find you in the Hun Yuan Primordial Wilderness. Could it be that you have really escaped from the Primordial Wilderness?"

Donghua's purpose in coming to the Sun Star this time is to find Lu Ya, also known as the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow.

However, his motivation was not revenge, but rather the fate of the Golden Crow Clan. He wanted to see if he could allow the Sun Star to give birth to Golden Crow again, and thus get the Sun Star running again.

However, he searched the entire Three Realms but could not find Lu Ya's existence, which was truly unbelievable.

This situation could mean that Lu Ya either escaped from the Primordial Wilderness, or that someone helped Lu Ya and covered up Lu Ya whereabouts.

He didn't believe that Lu Ya had escaped the Primordial Wilderness. With the cultivation of a mere Daluo Golden Immortal, if he dared to venture into the chaos, he wouldn't even know how he died. Even if Lu Ya was forced by his own pressure, he wouldn't make such a choice.

So upon careful consideration, it must be that Saint intervened to help Lu Ya evade his search.

"Is it Nuwa or the Western Two Saints?"

In later generations, Lu Ya only had connections with Nuwa and the Western Two Saints; he had no relation to the Three Pure Ones, and Lu Ya didn't even dare to seek them out.

"Never mind, it's not important anymore. It seems that if we want the Sun Star to have its own master, we'll have to wait for its birth; otherwise, no one will meet this condition."

Donghua's gaze lingered on the Moon Star, and after a moment's thought, he landed directly on it.

"Chop, chop, chop, is chopping all you know?"

As soon as Donghua entered the Moon Star, he heard a voice; it was Chang'e's voice.

In the cool, dimly lit Moon Star, a Moon Laurel Tree, as if carved from white jade, stood there, with Chang'e and Houyi standing beneath it.

Houyi stood with his back to Chang'e, his divine bow transformed into a divine axe, which he used to chop down the Moon Laurel Tree. He did not use any magic or the Great Dao Power, but only his physical strength.

Donghua was a little taken aback, wondering what the two of them were up to. If Houyi went all out, he might be able to cut down the Moon Laurel Tree, but if that were the case, he wouldn't be able to cut it Moon Laurel Tree even if he spent his whole life trying.

Although the Moon Laurel Tree is not among the top ten spiritual roots, it is still a top-tier spiritual root in the Primordial Wilderness, and its resilience is even stronger than that of Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure.

The key is that spiritual roots also possess the characteristics of immortality and self-healing, so it's like an ant trying to kill an elephant—it's simply impossible.

What are you guys doing?

Upon seeing Donghua appear, the two turned around and said, "Greetings, Great Heavenly Venerate!"

"Tell me, what are you doing? Especially you, Houyi, if you really cut down the Moon Laurel Tree, I will personally grind you to dust, and you won't even have a chance to be reincarnated!" Donghua looked at Houyi and asked sternly.

At this moment, he was genuinely angry. Who was this person he had saved? If Houyi had truly cut down the Moon Laurel Tree, he would be held responsible.

The Moon Laurel Tree is not just a simple spiritual root. This tree is rooted in the Moon Star and is the core of the entire Moon Star. If the Moon Laurel Tree falls, the Moon Star's essence will be directly lost by more than half.

It's like you bailed Houyi out of Heavenly Dao's prison, only for Houyi to turn around and make a huge mistake.

Houyi made a mistake; how could Heavenly Dao forgive him?

Houyi Yi stammered for a long time without being able to utter a word. Chang'e spoke up, "Great Heavenly Venerate, Houyi wants to sever ties with me. I said if you would cut down the Moon Laurel Tree without using your cultivation, I would agree."

"I never expected that he would actually go and cut down Moon Laurel Tree; he's already cut down a whole juncture of them."

Chang'e's expression turned forlorn as she finished speaking. Finally, she turned to Houyi and said, "Since you're so eager to sever ties with me, I agree. You may leave."

"Perhaps our relationship ended during the Lich War; your heart is as cruel as someone who cut down Moon Laurel Tree."

"Every axe blow you struck wasn't aimed at the Moon Laurel Tree, but at my heart. Since your resolve to leave is so firm, how can I stop you? Go!"

Looking at the two people before him, Donghua felt an urge to slap them to death. "You two lovebirds having a fight, what kind of joke is this, using the Moon Star as a weapon? Don't you have any sense of responsibility as a Celestial Venerable and Great Witch?"

"You guys are really something!" Donghua was so angry he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Donghua was truly angry, Houyi quickly said, "Your Great Heavenly Venerate, this matter is entirely Houyi's fault. Punish me if you must, it has nothing to do with Chang... or the Moon Star."

Donghua snorted coldly and said, "So you know you made a mistake? Did I save you to cut down the Moon Laurel Tree?"

"Since you love chopping so much, then stay on the Moon Star and chop down the Moon Laurel Tree for me. That way, you can shake the Moon Laurel Tree and brew wine with its blossoms!"

After Donghua finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao Power formed an unparalleled power of rules, and he struck Houyi with a palm.

"Buzz!"

The greatest sound is silent; a ripple surged from Houyi's body before returning to calm.

At that moment, Houyi seemed to have lost his mind, carrying his divine axe to the Moon Laurel Tree, and began to chop Moon Laurel Tree down instinctively.

With every swing of the blade, osmanthus blossoms fall!

Upon seeing this, Chang Xi quickly bowed and said, "Great Heavenly Venerate, this matter is my..."

Before Chang Xi could finish speaking, Donghua said directly, "I naturally know that you were also at fault in this matter, so you should also reflect on your actions."

After Donghua finished speaking, he waved his hand and sealed Chang Xi's cultivation with a single finger, stopping her at the peak of Grand Unity.

"Where is the patriarch of the Jade Rabbit clan?"

A beautiful young woman appeared before Donghua; she looked delicate and frail, yet extremely beautiful.

However, do not underestimate her. Her cultivation level is at the peak of the Grand Unity. She was Great Luo Demon God of the Yao Court and a demon race directly under the jurisdiction of Xi He and Chang Xi.

"Greetings, Great Heavenly Venerate!"

Donghua hummed in agreement and said softly, "The Moon Emperor Sovereign has committed a grave crime. I have sealed his cultivation and ordered him to meditate in seclusion on Moon Star for a while. He will then personally refine the Moon Laurel wine and deliver it to the Heavenly Court, where your Jade Rabbit clan will keep it under his care."

"If the Moon Emperor Sovereign dares to commit any more crimes, I will personally send you all into the cycle of reincarnation!"

After Donghua finished speaking, he left Moon Star directly. Coming to Moon Star this time was worse than not coming at all; it was truly a disappointment.

After Donghua left, the Jade Rabbit Clan Chief looked at Chang Xi with a troubled expression. Wasn't it putting her in a difficult position to be in charge of supervising her superior?

Chang Xi tried to mobilize the Great Dao Power and the authority of the Moon Star within her body, but found that she could not mobilize any of them at this time, as if she had never possessed those powers before.

"Hunyuan Expert is truly terrifying!"

Chang Xi sighed inwardly. She was Great Powers in the Mid Quasi-Saint, yet she was sealed by Donghua's finger and couldn't even put up a fight. It was truly terrifying.

He then turned to the Jade Rabbit Clan Chief and said, "You may leave. I will not leave Moon Star. For the time being, you will be in charge of operating Moon Star and prevent anyone else from entering Moon Star."

The Jade Rabbit Clan Chief hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your Emperor Lord!"

"Your Emperor Lord, may I arrange for someone else to come and serve you? Your cultivation is currently sealed, which makes things very inconvenient for you."

Chang Xi shook her head and said softly, "There's no need for that. I've never liked this kind of thing. Now I can finally relax a bit and spend some time with him here. This is probably the last time I'll spend with him. You may leave."

Seeing this, the Jade Rabbit Clan Chief could not say much and could only turn and leave. Letting her guard the Emperor Lord was simply courting death.

Since the formation of the Primordial World, the Jade Rabbit clan has been under the command of the Moon Emperor Sovereign, starting with the first generation Wangshu, and continuing to Xi He and Chang Xi later on.

So how could they possibly dare to keep an eye on Chang Xi!

Chang Xi walked to the Moon Laurel Tree. With each swing of Houyi's sword, laurel blossoms fell. Chang Xi reached out and caught the blossoms, collected them, and began to brew laurel wine.

After leaving Moon Star, Donghua, with a stern expression, went directly to Taisu Heaven to find Nuwa.

"What could have made Junior Brother so angry? Why are you still so stern in front of your Senior Sister?" Nuwa asked Donghua with a smile.

As soon as Donghua entered Taisu Heaven, he saw Nuwa standing among the flowers, pruning the branches with scissors transformed from Red Embroidery Saber.

Her full head of black hair fell naturally, without any makeup.

So beautiful!

Donghua shook his head and said nothing more. It was absurd to even talk about it. Two Quasi-Saint Great Powers, one the Moon Emperor Sovereign and the other the Great Witch of the Witch Clan, were doing things like children playing house.

That's truly laughable!

Is Lu Ya with you?

Nuwa paused for a moment, then turned around and said, "Lu Ya? You mean the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow, right?"

"Um!"

"He's not with me. I haven't seen him since the battle of Longevity Mountain," Nuwa said.

Donghua glanced at Nuwa, who seemed quite at ease.

"It seems Lu Ya really isn't with Nuwa, so he must be with the Western Two Saints. Those two are truly interesting; they dare to take in just anyone."

Donghua didn't ask any more questions. Since he had asked Nuwa himself, she wouldn't lie to him about such a trivial matter.

"Fuxi has successfully reincarnated. How are your discussions with the Taishang?"

Nuwa smiled and said, "You guessed wrong this time. Senior Brother Taishang is very open-minded and directly let Xuandu teach his elder brother."

"During this visit, I discussed the Dao with him, and I felt that Taishang's cultivation had improved again; he should be close to breaking through. You need to be careful."

Donghua nodded. It was indeed very suitable for Xuandu to teach the young Fuxi, after all, Xuandu was also Innate Human Race and one of the earliest people created by Nuwa.

"Isn't your cultivation about to break through as well?" Donghua said directly to Nuwa.

He could sense the aura emanating from Nuwa, the Daoist charm that flowed unintentionally, and the immense power mixed within it.

This is because he can't control his strength, and it's also a sign that his cultivation is about to break through.
