Zhen Yuanzi! Winds and Clouds Rise! Gourd Appears!

"Zhen Yuanzi."

Di Jun uttered three words, then slowly said, "Don't you find his relationship with Hong Yun too close? Always by his side, always traveling together."

"If they were brothers of the same womb, I could understand, but they are not. Even Junti and Jieyin only allied for mutual benefit. So what about Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi? For what reason? Even the Primordial Violet Qi doesn't move Zhen Yuanzi. That is strange."

Perhaps someone might say, can there not be people who are closer than brothers without being brothers?

To this, Di Jun neither affirmed nor denied. Such people could indeed exist, but they absolutely did not include the Primordial World. After all, this ancient mythological world was fundamentally one of the strong preying on the weak, filled with schemes and calculations.

Especially since Di Jun had read Primordial World novels, he understood and knew Zhen Yuanzi even better.

"It does seem so. Your Majesty, if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have thought of this question. It's as if I deliberately forgot. That's a problem. Zhen Yuanzi seems to have set up a huge scheme? What exactly does he intend to do to Hong Yun?"

Taiyi said, pondering.

Not only Taiyi, but after carefully recalling, the others also revealed expressions of shock on their faces, all unconsciously sinking into deep thought.

"Who is behind the Three Immortal Islands? What is Zhen Yuanzi scheming? The Primordial Violet Qi on Hong Yun? Later ages indeed never spoke of where Hong Yun's Primordial Violet Qi went. Hmph, that is thought-provoking."

"According to the original trajectory's records, Taiyi, I, Minghe, Kunpeng, and others schemed and besieged Hong Yun from all sides, wanting to seize the Primordial Violet Qi on him. Although Hong Yun ultimately fell, no one obtained the Primordial Violet Qi."

"Looking at it now, the waters of the Primordial World are indeed very deep!"

"If Zhen Yuanzi had always protected Hong Yun and warned him, how could Hong Yun have 'accidentally' left Wuzhuang Temple and been caught by the Primordial Great Powers?"

"And where did Zhen Yuanzi learn that Hong Yun would definitely obtain the Primordial Violet Qi, spending endless years to earn Hong Yun's trust and lay out this scheme?"

"Interesting, very interesting. This kind of Primordial World is much more fun. If it were really like many Primordial World novels from my past life, where all the Primordial Great Powers were idiots, that would be unrealistic. Each of them has lived for countless kalpas at the very least—how could there truly be idiots?"

With many thoughts flashing through his mind, Di Jun smiled, the smile on his face growing increasingly bright.

Isn't this more exciting? Otherwise, even growing stronger or suppressing the Primordial World would be far too dull.

"Alright, no need to think too much. We will know the result in time. First, resolve the matter of the Innate Gourd Vine—that is the most important."

Pushing aside his thoughts, Di Jun exhaled and turned his gaze to the Innate Gourd Vine, shrouded by the Innate Grand Formation.

As time passed, this Innate Grand Formation had now... completely dissipated!

Purple Mansion.

"Heavenly Court... Di Jun. Heh, what a grand display of power. Wait, just wait. Soon, very soon. Once I complete my work here, Di Jun, your death will be at hand!!!"

Withdrawing his gaze from Mount Buzhou, East King Duke revealed a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth, his eyes blazing with fierce ambition.

Supreme treasures?

Opportunities?

So what!

Even if he obtained them, in the end, they would only benefit him and be kept for him.

He was East King Duke, East Hua Imperial Sovereign East King Duke, the Dao Ancestor's appointed Head of Male Immortals. All the male immortals of the entire Primordial World should be under his command. He was the one and only ruler of the Primordial World!!!

"Dao Ancestor... They. Hmph, you treat me as a chess piece, but am I not also scheming against you? As long as I can attain the Dao, I will leap out of this cage and become a player myself!"

With deep eyes and a burning heart, East King Duke took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

Soon, soon it would be completed!!!

Wuzhuang Temple.

Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi returned and sat down beneath the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

The changes and terror of the Heavenly Court and Di Jun surfaced in his mind. A faint unease rose in Zhen Yuanzi's heart. His brows tightly furrowed, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, then he took a deep breath and suppressed his inner turmoil.

"Hong Yun, my brother, the atmosphere of the Primordial World is growing increasingly strange and delicate. And you bear the Primordial Violet Qi, the foundation of the Heavenly Dao. Do not leave Wuzhuang Temple for the time being. We must stay together at all times to prevent any unexpected upheaval."

His gaze falling on Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi earnestly admonished him.

"Daoist Brother, rest assured. Although I delight in charity and helping others, I am no fool. When it concerns my life and property, I naturally understand."

Hong Yun said with a cheerful laugh, patting his chest.

"Good."

Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's expression relaxed slightly.

Winds rose and clouds surged!

Undercurrents churned!

Because of the Heavenly Court's two actions, because of the Purple Mansion's silent stillness, the entire Primordial World felt as if a storm was brewing. In the unseen, it seemed a great upheaval was about to erupt.

Powerful figures from all sides, numerous great beings, the boundless multitudes—the atmosphere of the entire Primordial World had grown increasingly inexplicable. A faint unease lurked in everyone's hearts, as if sensing the calm before the storm. When the storm arrived, it would be earth-shattering!

For a time, the entire Primordial Continent was in a strange state, as if maintaining a delicate balance, at any moment an unimaginable change could occur. All eyes were fixed on the Heavenly Court and the Purple Mansion.

Everyone understood clearly: one mountain could not hold two tigers. Now that the Heavenly Court's momentum was growing, how could East King Duke sit still? Thus, the true great war... was about to come!

Mount Buzhou.

"So this is the Innate Gourd Vine? Sigh... Seven gourds, and each one is a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!? How is that possible! This is a Chaos Spiritual Root! A Chaos Spiritual Root whose grade dropped after being affected by the Great Tribulation of Creation!"

Hearing Di Jun's words, everyone looked toward the area where the Innate Grand Formation had dispersed. When they clearly saw what was inside, Taiyi unconsciously gasped, a look of shock appearing on his face.

Not only Taiyi, but everyone who saw it was visibly moved, shock appearing in their eyes. They all understood why Di Jun placed such importance on this Innate Gourd Vine.

Chaos Spiritual Root!

It was actually a shattered Chaos Spiritual Root!!!

Gazing into the distance, one could see a vine spanning billions upon trillions of kilometers suspended in the void. Its surface was covered in Chaos Qi, swirling and churning as if breathing out mist, gleaming with resplendent golden hues like flowing molten metal, as though flowers rained from the heavens and golden lotuses surged from the earth.

Imprints of the Three Thousand Great Daos and projections of countless lesser Daos—every single breath it took seemed to carve out an independent space, containing unimaginable might and filled with unparalleled profundity.

The seven gourds on the vine—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—were even more miraculous. Each one bore twenty-nine layers of restrictions on its surface, manifesting twenty-nine strands of Dao resonance. Gazing intently, one could faintly see that beyond these twenty-nine divine prohibitions, numerous illusory restrictions flickered in and out of visibility.

Every single one was a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

And all of them were Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures with limitless potential!!!

"Just as I imagined—exactly as I thought!"

"With this, the foundation of the Mythological Imperial Dynasty is complete!"

"The true great era shall begin from this moment—from Imperial We!"

His gaze swept across the Innate Gourd Vine, as if confirming something. Di Jun's eyes blazed bright, and even with his current state of mind, he could not help but feel a surge of excitement.

The great era was about to be born!

And he, Di Jun, was the one who would orchestrate this great era!!!
