"What is this?"
Dong Wanggong waved his jade sleeve and caught the eerie glow in his hand.
Black and white blended together, and several divine patterns appeared. The object in his hand looked like a disk and seemed to constantly give off a faint aura of reincarnation.
Could it be related to the Reincarnation Law?
[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the supreme treasure, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk (incomplete). This spirit treasure is the Reincarnation Demon God's personal treasure and contains the supreme will of reincarnation.] [The Six Paths Reincarnation Disk in your possession is only half complete. If you can find the other half, you can restore it fully and make it a Top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure.]
Just as Dong Wanggong was wondering about it, the system appeared in time.
The Six Paths Reincarnation Disk! He never expected it to be the Reincarnation Demon God's treasure. Dong Wanggong was overjoyed.
The Reincarnation Law was one of the supreme laws, unfathomably profound.
If Dong Wanggong could master the Reincarnation Law, his combat power would rise to another level.
"System, can I comprehend the Reincarnation Law now?"
Dong Wanggong furrowed his brow.
It seemed the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk had been sealed by some mysterious force. Fortunately, that was the case; otherwise, if the Soul Devouring Beast Emperor had wielded the Reincarnation Law, Dong Wanggong would have been no match for him.
[Ding! The Six Paths Reincarnation Disk is incomplete and has been sealed by the Reincarnation Demon God. Only by restoring the spirit treasure can you comprehend the Reincarnation Law.]
Hearing this, Dong Wanggong had no choice but to give up.
If he had the cultivation of a Limitless Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, he could break the seal in an instant. But without that strength, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk was nothing more than an ornament.
"Dragon Son, let me leave a Primordial Spirit Mark on Tongtian Jianmu. Then we'll head for the last of the three islands, Yingzhou Island!"
Dong Wanggong could tell that the Space Gate leading to Yingzhou Island was on Tongtian Jianmu.
It was a pity that Tongtian Jianmu, a Chaos Spiritual Root, had not developed intelligence. Otherwise, its potential would have reached at least the Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
"I'll do as you say, husband!"
Ying Long readily agreed. She had no designs on Tongtian Jianmu.
Soon, Dong Wanggong branded Tongtian Jianmu with one Primordial Spirit Mark after another. The Immortal Dao Law, Yin-Yang Law, and Law of Strength inscribed countless divine patterns upon it.
"Done!"
Dong Wanggong spoke softly, then put an arm around Ying Long and stepped through the Space Gate. The two set off through the Chaos Qi Flow toward Yingzhou Island.
Outside Tongtian Jianmu.
Taiqing suddenly opened his eyes, his expression filled with shock.
"I never thought Fellow Daoist Dong Wanggong would actually defeat the Soul Devouring Beast Emperor. The measures I left within Tongtian Jianmu have been erased!"
"Who said the Three Pure Ones had boundless destiny? Compared to Dong Wanggong, we're nothing but ants!"
"I have something to say, though I'm not sure I should say it. We Three Pure Ones are damn useless!"
Yingzhou Island.
There were no spirit beasts or Spiritual Plants, only rampant Chaos Qi.
There was not a trace of life here. Endless Gale Winds and Space Turbulence surged, giving rise to Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. The energy was incredibly chaotic.
Chaos Stubborn Stones covered the land.
They were useless unless you wanted to refine artifacts.
It was said that Haotian Boy and Yaochi Boy had been born from Chaos Stubborn Stones. They had been enlightened by Dao Ancestor Hongjun and protected by Heavenly Dao Destiny before they could take human form.
Their origins were not top-tier, but as Dao Ancestor Hongjun's attendants, their cultivation and foundations were naturally profound.
"Let's head for the center of Yingzhou Island. There seem to be glimmers of golden light over there. There must be a treasure, and it seems to be connected to space!"
"I hope it gives me a pleasant surprise!"
Dong Wanggong's gaze was keen as he peered through the void.
Somewhere in the deepest reaches of the Space Turbulence, willow branches swayed, gleaming with golden light.
Before long, the two reached the center.
Before them stood a willow tree several yards tall, radiating boundless Space Law. But only a few dozen branches swayed, and even its trunk was only half intact.
Faint golden light illuminated the surroundings.
"Husband, the Space Law! This willow tree contains the origin of space. If you can refine it, you'll reach mastery of the Space Law and gain control of spatial abilities!"
"Could this be the Space Willow Tree?"
As Ying Long spoke, her red lips gradually fell open, as if she could fit an ice pop in her mouth. Her shock was no less than when she and Dong Wanggong had enjoyed the pleasures of cultivation.
At the same time, a storm raged in Dong Wanggong's heart.
The Space Willow Tree was the true form of the Space Demon God Yangmei. During the World-Opening Tribulation, it had been struck by the Pangu Axe and split in two, before falling into the Chaos Qi Flow.
One half of the Space Willow Tree had inherited the will of the Space Demon God and taken human form as Old Ancestor Yangmei. He wielded the Space Law and fought Demon Ancestor Luohu alongside Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
No one knew where the other half had gone. He never expected it to be on Yingzhou Island.
What a stroke of fortune!
"Whatever happens, this Space Willow Tree is mine now. After the three lectures at the Zixiao Palace, I'll go into seclusion to comprehend the Space Law. I won't come out until I've mastered it!"
"Chaos Bead, absorb it!"
Dong Wanggong brought out the Chaos Supreme Treasure once more. A vast torrent of Chaos Qi surged forth, gradually enveloping Yingzhou Island before it vanished without a trace.
The Space Willow Tree would be safer inside the Chaos Bead.
Then—
The two appeared above the East Sea, with surging waves beneath their feet.
"Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?"
Dong Wanggong scratched his head and blurted out the words without thinking.
He hadn't offended anyone lately!
As Dong Wanggong hesitated, an Auspicious Cloud appeared in the void. It was none other than Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!"
In an instant, every living being who sensed him appeared. Dong Wanggong bowed slightly as well. But why did Dao Ancestor Hongjun look so displeased?
Could he be feeling under the weather?
"Dong Wanggong, you've caused me a great deal of trouble!"
"You took the Space Willow Tree, and Old Ancestor Yangmei sensed it. He's heading for the Primordial World right now, attacking the World Barrier with his Space Dao Principles!"
"If Old Ancestor Yangmei weren't one realm below me, he might already have entered the Primordial World and ground you to dust!"
Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke slowly.
At his words, the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, Jieyin, and the other mighty beings gaped in astonishment. They could not hide their envy.
Dijiang, in particular, was practically drooling.
If he could obtain the Space Willow Tree, he might have a chance to attain the Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
In an instant, Dong Wanggong understood why he had felt uneasy. It was that old fox, Old Ancestor Yangmei. It seemed he wanted to force Dao Ancestor Hongjun's hand and make him surrender the Space Willow Tree.
At the thought, Dong Wanggong felt the pressure mount.
This was the greatest crisis he had faced so far.
If Dao Ancestor Hongjun lost to Old Ancestor Yangmei, wouldn't he be done for? Although the Dao Ancestor had the advantage in cultivation, Old Ancestor Yangmei had countless tricks up his sleeve.
Time reigns supreme; space rules all!
Of the Three Thousand Laws, aside from the Law of Strength, the Space Law ranked second.
During the World-Opening Tribulation, Old Ancestor Yangmei had fought Great God Pangu for three hundred rounds. There was no denying his strength.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun had been born from the primordial qi. He didn't seem like the favored contender!
"Dao Ancestor, can you beat him?"
After a moment's thought, Dong Wanggong asked Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
His voice sounded a little weak!
"Get lost!"
"Come with me to Outside the Chaos and witness me fight Old Ancestor Yangmei. You can learn from a Saint's power and improve your comprehension of the Heavenly Dao!"
With a wave of his hand, Dao Ancestor Hongjun sent Dong Wanggong flying with the Immortal Dao Law, though he did not hurt him.
It was more like the helpless affection of Dao Ancestor Hongjun for him.
The dignified representative of the Heavenly Dao—a Dao Ancestor who couldn't even hurt a fly—was about to fight another old man. It was truly awkward!
After all, Old Ancestor Yangmei had once been his dear friend!
Suddenly!
Immortal Dao power surged, and in the next moment, everyone appeared Outside the Chaos.
Amid the vast Chaos Qi Flow, beyond the World Barrier of the Primordial World, an elderly figure bombarded the barrier before him, wielding boundless power that overturned the cosmos.
"Fellow Daoist Yangmei, you should stop!"
Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared before Old Ancestor Yangmei. They stood amid the raging Chaos Gale Winds, yet neither showed the slightest trace of unease.
At their level, they were already impervious to tribulations and would live for eternity.
"Since you withdrew into the Chaos, why have you returned to the Primordial World?"
"I know you came for the Space Willow Tree. But as the Dao Ancestor, I must protect the living beings of the Primordial World, especially promising juniors!"
"If you insist on this, I won't hesitate to kill you!"
Dao Ancestor Hongjun was no longer his usual benevolent self. Instead, he radiated boundless killing intent.
The peak aura of a Heavenly Dao Saint swept across a vast expanse of void.
It was truly terrifying!
