Ling Tian, still consolidating his cultivation, naturally had no idea.
His name had spread to every corner of the Primordial World.
Everyone knew of him!
If Ling Tian had known,
he probably would have sighed again at how exceptional he was!
Meanwhile,
inside the Southern Ming Undying Volcano,
because Ling Tian had achieved the Twelfth-grade Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm,
the entire Phoenix Clan was overcome with joy.
This was an unprecedented Twelfth-grade Grand Unity!
One had to know,
the strongest member of the Phoenix Clan, Yuanfeng, had only achieved Tenth Grade Grand Unity back then.
That alone had made Yuanfeng one of the strongest beings in the Primordial World.
Once Ling Tian, a Twelfth Grade Grand Unity, grew up,
the Phoenix Clan's standing in the Primordial World
was easy to imagine.
Inside Yuan Feng's Cave Mansion,
Yuanfeng stood with her hands on her hips, laughing uproariously at the sky.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Son, you're simply amazing!"
"I've decided: once your cultivation reaches the Primordial Golden Immortal realm,"
"I'll toss the clan leader position to you, then take Qing Luan off to have fun everywhere."
"Just thinking about the look on those two old fossils, Ancestral Dragon and First Qilin, makes me laugh to death..."
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Yuanfeng had never expected Ling Tian to be so outstanding, and she was overjoyed.
Beside her, Qing Luan was just as excited, her pretty face flushed and her bright eyes sparkling.
She had a feeling that the day Ling Tian would protect her was not far off!
For a time,
the entire Phoenix Clan was swept up in a sea of joy.
But the Phoenix Clan didn't know that...
After Ling Tian achieved Twelfth Grade Grand Unity,
the situation in the Primordial World had undergone a drastic change.
Ancestral Dragon and First Qilin had secretly met several times.
No one knew...
What agreement had they reached in secret?
Time passed without notice in the Primordial World.
Inside Yuanfeng's womb,
Ling Tian had finally finished absorbing the Origin Power of the Primordial World.
He had also completely consolidated his Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
He had even made considerable progress, and seemed not far from the middle stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
Ling Tian couldn't help stretching.
"Ah, that feels good!"
Ling Tian had grown quite a bit over the years.
As he stretched, his body crackled.
But just then,
Ling Tian's expression shifted as a system notification suddenly rang in his ear...
[Beep!] [The host has become famous throughout the Primordial World. Please choose...] [Choice One: Seize this opportunity, emerge and unify the Primordial World. Reward: Innate Supreme Treasure, Chaos Bell.] [Choice Two: Keep lying low and absolutely refuse to be born. Reward: Innate Chaos Grand Array.] [Note: The Innate Chaos Grand Array is the strongest defensive array. With the Chaos Bead as its core, it can suppress Chaos, repel all evil, and render all techniques ineffective. Its defensive power increases with the array-user's strength.]
The system's choice task had appeared again!
Looking at the two options the system had given him, Ling Tian was at a loss for words.
"Damn system, giving me a bell again!"
"It's still determined to get me killed!"
Ling Tian made up his mind at once.
Choice One was absolutely out of the question.
Emerge and unify the Primordial World?
What kind of international joke was that?
Did Ling Tian have a death wish?
Although he had achieved the unprecedented Twelfth Grade Grand Unity,
Ling Tian was still only a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
Forget Rahu, the Demon Ancestor who was eyeing him covetously—
Ling Tian couldn't even defeat Ancestral Dragon or First Qilin right now.
Did the damn system think it could trick him?
Not a chance!
Compared to the suicidal Choice One, Choice Two was much more appealing.
For one thing, staying hidden and refusing to be born was exactly what Ling Tian wanted.
And the [Innate Chaos Grand Array] was something he simply couldn't refuse.
The Phoenix Clan's decision to seal off the mountain seemed foolproof.
But Ling Tian knew just how powerful Rahu was.
What's more, anyone who had read Primordial World novels knew this saying...
The general trend could not be reversed!
During the Dragon-Han Tribulation, the Phoenix Clan, which was supposed to vie for supremacy, had sealed off the mountain.
Ling Tian didn't believe the Primordial World Heavenly Dao would simply let that go.
In Ling Tian's view,
the Phoenix Clan Protection Array still wasn't foolproof.
The [Innate Chaos Grand Array] had come at just the right time!
With that thought,
Ling Tian immediately called out to the system.
"I choose Two!"
As soon as he spoke,
a formation diagram made up of countless patterns appeared before Ling Tian.
It was the reward for this choice...
[Innate Chaos Grand Array Diagram]!
Just from the aura of the laws contained in the diagram,
Ling Tian could tell it was extraordinary.
The [Innate Chaos Grand Array] used the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the [Chaos Bead], as its core.
Its power was certainly something to look forward to.
Ling Tian didn't waste a moment and immediately began studying the [Innate Chaos Grand Array].
But what Ling Tian didn't expect was...
A plot targeting the Phoenix Clan had already begun!
When Rahu learned that the one who had achieved Twelfth-grade Grand Unity Golden Immortal was Ling Tian,
his heart shook, and a thought immediately arose in his mind.
Could it be that the one who had kept foiling his plans all along wasn't Yuanfeng?
Could it have been Ling Tian, in Yuanfeng's womb?
But the thought flashed through Rahu's mind and vanished.
How could an unborn fetus be so calculating?
Rahu had no idea
that Ling Tian was a transmigrator who had read countless Primordial World novels.
At this moment, in the Primordial World,
the one who understood Rahu best was none other than Ling Tian, the unborn fetus.
It was worth mentioning that...
Although Ling Tian's achievement of Twelfth Grade Grand Unity made Rahu extremely wary,
it also gave Rahu an excellent opportunity to force open the Phoenix Clan's gates.
With Rahu's secret machinations,
First Qilin and Ancestral Dragon, who had once regarded each other as mortal enemies, had met secretly countless times over the years.
In the end, they reached a consensus...
They absolutely could not let the Phoenix Clan continue developing in peace.
Above all, they couldn't give Ling Tian time to grow.
Once Ling Tian reached the peak of his cultivation and attained the Late Stage Primordial Golden Immortal realm, or even the legendary Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm,
their fate would be easy to imagine.
Neither Ancestral Dragon nor First Qilin could have been unaware of the principle that one would not allow another to sleep peacefully beside one's bed.
What surprised First Qilin and Ancestral Dragon was...
At that moment,
the leader of the Flying Birds, Chongming Bird, a Primordial Golden Immortal in the early stage, suddenly sought them out.
Its aim was exactly the same as theirs.
First Qilin and Ancestral Dragon were puzzled,
but since they all shared the same goal,
they had no reason to refuse.
For a time,
the three major forces openly known throughout the Primordial World—the Flying Birds, Walking Beasts, and Scaled Creatures—began marching toward the Southern Ming Undying Volcano in an openly aggressive show of force.
This scene
immediately drew the attention of countless Primordial Beings.
They weren't fools.
The spectacular sight of Ling Tian achieving Twelfth-grade Grand Unity Golden Immortal was still vivid in their minds.
Now the three great powers—the Flying Birds, Walking Beasts, and Scaled Creatures—had gathered together and were heading toward the Southern Ming Undying Volcano with murderous intent.
Their purpose
was obvious!
The Primordial World Beings had no confidence in the Phoenix Clan at all.
No matter how powerful the Phoenix Clan was,
before Ling Tian had grown to his full potential,
the clan was even weaker than the Kirin Clan and Dragon Clan, which had expanded wildly in recent years.
And now the Flying Birds, led by Chongming Bird, had joined them.
The Phoenix Clan was likely facing the danger of annihilation.
Within the Western Ancestral Vein,
Rahu, having succeeded in his scheme, couldn't help revealing a cruel smile.
"Yuanfeng!"
"No matter how cautious you are,"
"in the end, you've still become a piece on this lord's chessboard!"
