The Ruins! Enlightenment Tea Tree! The Winds and Clouds Rise!

The Land of Guixu.

It lies deep where the four seas converge, the region of the Primordial Continent closest to Chaos, hailed by all living beings as Little Chaos.

Any below the Golden Immortal Realm who enter risk falling; only those at the Grand Unity Realm can barely move through it unimpeded. Its environment is violent and filled with turbulent Chaos airflow, which is precisely why almost no one ever ventures inside.

The Primordial Continent already teems with opportunities. The Land of Guixu is dangerous, and its fortunes are scant—after all, with Chaos airflow and Chaos storms, how many heavenly treasures could possibly be nurtured? They are destroyed before they even take shape. So who would take an interest?

Now, deep within the Land of Guixu, a patch of Chaos airflow begins to spread, and a space once hidden beneath the barrier of Chaos gradually reveals itself.

In an instant, a dazzling radiance shines forth. The Three Thousand Great Daos shine together, their lofty and profound power spreading outward as if to envelop the entire Land of Guixu. Ancient, weathered, mysterious, wondrous—it seems to contain an indescribable charm.

Even a single thread of it appears capable of cleansing everything around, transforming all it touches.

As its breath pulses, it evolves and constructs myriad domains, as if one phantom realm after another, conceived and nurtured by the True meaning of Great Dao, appears and collapses.

Gilded clouds, ancient Dao Rhyme, wondrous Immortal Music, divine Immortal Flower petals, purple and auspicious qi. In but an instant, the visions within the Land of Guixu have spread across half the Primordial Continent, turning the boundless heavens and their clouds ashen.

With a single glance, one can vaguely make out an ancient giant tree hidden among the mist and Chaos, as if it supports the very operation of the world and bears the foundation of the Great Dao. Each time the giant tree sways, it scatters a torrent of divine principles and Dao Rhyme. Even falling upon the void, it seems to cleanse the void itself, elevating the very fabric of space.

Not only that, but the Three Thousand Great Daos are devoured and refined by this giant tree. In the hazy blur, one can see divine principles radiating three thousand kinds of light flickering on the tree, each leaf as if transformed from the Great Dao, imprinted with its true meaning and mystery.

This is—

"The Enlightenment Tea Tree!"

"A Chaos Spiritual Root, the Enlightenment Tea Tree that was damaged during the Great Tribulation of Creation and hidden in the Land of Guixu!"

"So that's it, so that's it! No wonder the Land of Guixu has never yielded any fortune or treasure since the beginning of creation—all heavenly materials and earthly treasures were devoured by the Enlightenment Tea Tree to repair itself!"

"Exactly ten Yuanji have passed since Pangu's Creation and the birth of the Primordial Continent. The Enlightenment Tea Tree has emerged!"

In an instant, from every Blessed Land or Dao field across the Primordial Continent, one mighty figure after another, one great power after another, shot to their feet. Divine light blazed from their eyes. Every mighty figure and great power revealed joy on their faces, their expressions brimming with excitement.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, rolling thunder erupted from all corners of the Primordial Continent. Vast, terrifying auras surged straight into the clouds. Countless mighty figures and great powers set out at once, heading directly for the Land of Guixu.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree had emerged—the entire Primordial Continent stirred!

The delicate and strange balance of the atmosphere was shattered instantly. The deathly stillness of the Primordial Continent seemed to revive in that moment, immediately filling with clamor and bustle, as if vitality had reached its peak.

In Chaos, within the Purple Cloud Palace.

Hongjun slowly withdrew his hand and gazed into the void. Several indifferent, supreme eyes deep within Chaos also slowly withdrew, as if some invisible contest had taken place, or as if a consensus had been reached.

"Since we are placing our bets, let us see whose piece proves superior."

His expression indifferent, neither joy nor sorrow, Hongjun seemed to speak to himself, or perhaps to certain existences.

With that, Hongjun waved his hand, and the Purple Cloud Palace once again concealed itself within Chaos, its traces lost.

A faint smile appeared on his previously cold face. His eyes deep, Hongjun let out a soft laugh before slowly closing his eyes.

"The Enlightenment Tea Tree has emerged. The pace will quicken. This poor Daoist would like to see how much longer you can hide."

His murmured words echoed through the Purple Cloud Palace, and the entire palace swiftly returned to silence.

Mount Buzhou, within the Ancestral Witch Hall.

"Big brother, the Enlightenment Tea Tree has emerged. It would be a great help to our Witch Clan too. Should we make a move?"

Zhu Rong said eagerly.

"The time is not yet right. The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Great Formation has not been fully deduced. Wait. Now is not the time for us to emerge."

"Our Dao fruits are already at the peak of Golden Immortal of the Origin. Even if we took the Enlightenment Tea Tree, it could not let us attain the Origin. Since that is so, what use is it? Let us first develop our people. When our Witch Clan emerges to contend for supremacy and unify the entire Primordial Continent, we will naturally attain the Origin. There is no need for this thing."

Di Jiang slowly opened his eyes and spoke calmly.

Ever since the battle over the Innate Gourd Vine, when they witnessed the Heavenly Court's Grand Formation of the Stars of the Heavens, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had been provoked. They went into seclusion together, seeking to deduce a formation that could contend with—or even crush—the Grand Formation of the Stars of the Heavens. Thus, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Great Formation was born.

Compared to its original timeline, where it would not emerge until the Witch-Demon Tribulation, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Great Formation had now been brought forth countless ages early!

"Yes."

Zhu Rong thought it over and found the reasoning sound, so he closed his eyes.

Purple Mansion, Donghua Palace.

Boom!!!

East King Duke's eyes snapped open. Substantial divine light shot from his pupils. The void directly collapsed, space compressed layer upon layer, and dense cracks spread across the void before instantly repairing and vanishing as his eyes blinked.

"The Enlightenment Tea Tree... Perfect timing!"

"That feathered beast Di Jun will certainly not let the Enlightenment Tea Tree go. This is the perfect chance to test Di Jun and see how the Heavenly Court has developed."

"I have Their investments. Whether I obtain the Enlightenment Tea Tree or not makes no difference to me. But this is an excellent opportunity to probe the Heavenly Court!"

A gleam of sharp light flashed in his eyes. A smirk curled at the corner of East King Duke's mouth. He took a deep breath, his lips moved as if sending a transmission, and then he closed his eyes.

Heavenly Realm, within the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Hum!!!

Di Jun, who had spent tens of millions of years in seclusion deducing the Mythological Cultivation System, slowly opened his eyes. One after another, phantom images of the Great Dao gradually dissipated. The Great Dao Runes floating around Di Jun retracted into his body. His entire aura returned to simplicity, as if he were an ordinary mortal.

"The Mythological Cultivation System's deduction progress has greatly accelerated—only one medium is needed to deduce the general outline and the first realm!"

"The Enlightenment Tea Tree. I never imagined the Primordial Wilderness would also have such a thing. It's truly a universal remedy. Perfect—if I integrate the Enlightenment Tea Tree into the Heavenly Court, then the Mythological Cultivation System will be born. Enough. It will fully emerge into the world!"

Gazing into the void, Di Jun's eyes pierced through countless layers of space as if landing on the Land of Guixu, his gaze growing increasingly bright.

Only the medium remained to complete it entirely!

And the Enlightenment Tea Tree was that medium!!!

Yet

"Is it really this coincidental?"

Thinking of something, Di Jun's brow furrowed slightly.

"The Primordial Wilderness's current situation is delicate. The clash between the Purple Mansion and the Heavenly Court is nearing its end, a critical moment. Neither early nor late—why does the Enlightenment Tea Tree emerge precisely now?"

Recalling the various performances of East King Duke in their past battle and his own suspicions, Di Jun's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Somewhat... interesting."
