Tianlu looked up at the thunderclouds raging to the extreme, curled his lips, and muttered disdainfully.
"Stingy bastard!"
He then ignored Heavenly Dao. Daluo Golden Immortal-level mana roared through his body, and with a thought, the power of the Law of Space, one of the Six Great Laws, instantly gathered in his palm.
Silver-white Dao patterns of the Law of Space swirled around his claw tips, emanating a profound aura capable of twisting the void and piercing all laws.
Tianlu gently pressed his claw against the invisible Xiantian Array barrier. The power of the Law of Space seeped into it like spilled mercury, beginning to unravel and analyze the array's operating principles.
Though this Xiantian Array was exquisitely profound, before a Daluo Golden Immortal who wielded the Law of Space, it still had traces to follow.
In less than a few days, Tianlu had completely seen through the array's reality. His body flickered slightly, turning into a streak of light that forcefully pierced through the array's barrier and vanished entirely from the Primordial World.
As the Xiantian Array had been nurtured by heaven and earth's Creation, it inherently possessed the powerful ability to conceal Heavenly Secrets and obscure the Law of Cause and Effect.
Once Tianlu entered, it was as though he had completely evaporated from the Primordial World. Heavenly Dao temporarily lost its lock on him and could not find any trace of Tianlu.
After circling and roaring above West Kunlun for a long time, Heavenly Dao had no choice but to slowly withdraw the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning that filled the skies. The thunderclouds dispersed, and heaven and earth returned to clarity.
At the same time.
Elsewhere.
Yujing Mountain, within White Jade Capital.
As the final victor of the Dao-Devil War, Hongjun was currently seated cross-legged beneath the Jade Plate of Creation, surrounded by profoundly mysterious Great Dao rhythms.
He was attempting to unite his good corpse, evil corpse, and self-obsession into Three Corpses Unity, using this to achieve the Dao and become a supreme Heavenly Dao Saint.
With Hongjun's unfathomable foundations and heritage, he had originally possessed the chance to pursue the path of the free and unfettered Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, unrestrained by Heavenly Dao.
But Creation toyed with him. During that incomparably brutal Dao-Devil War, which had shattered the Primordial World, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, seeing that the greater momentum was lost, had madly detonated the earth veins of the entire Western Continent.
That self-destruction not only instantly turned the once-prosperous Western Lands into a barren wasteland devoid of spiritual qi, but also forced Hongjun, the victor, to bear the overwhelming karma of the Law of Cause and Effect.
Such Law of Cause and Effect, enough to crush eternity itself, directly severed his hope of attaining Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortalhood.
In the current Primordial World, only by entrusting one's Primordial Spirit to the Heavenly Dao Void and attaining the status of a Heavenly Dao Saint could one draw upon Heavenly Dao's vast and boundless power to slowly repay this endless Law of Cause and Effect.
Only the position of Heavenly Dao Saint could contain someone like Hongjun.
Yet just as Hongjun was immersed in the mystical state of Three Corpses Unity and cultivating with bitter focus, a vast, boundless, supreme will descended into his sea of consciousness without warning.
It was Heavenly Dao's consciousness.
Without the slightest emotional fluctuation, Heavenly Dao's consciousness coldly conveyed an edict to Hongjun.
Go to West Kunlun, find an Auspicious Beast Pixiu, and make it hand over the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus.
Upon receiving this edict, Hongjun abruptly opened his eyes. A trace of astonishment flashed through them as he was forced to halt his cultivation.
He was briefly stunned. His brows furrowed tightly as stormy waves surged through his heart.
What was going on?
The Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus?
Wasn't that the destined Numinous Treasure of the Three Pure Ones?!
This was the ordained fate of the Primordial World!
Long before the Dao-Devil War, he had used the Jade Plate of Creation's deductions to calculate the ownership of this wondrous treasure.
Red Flower White Lotus Green Lotus Leaf, Three Teachings Are One Family.
The Creation Green Lotus was destined to split into three and become the Dao-Completion Dharma Treasures of the Three Pure Ones, thereby suppressing the Fortune of Three Teachings.
But now, where had this Pixiu come from?
It had suddenly appeared and intercepted the destined fate of the Three Pure Ones?
And more importantly, Heavenly Dao had specifically issued an edict to him, the future Heavenly Dao Spokesperson, over a mere Pixiu?!
Could it be... a variable?!
Hongjun's gaze became incomparably deep. He frantically deduced the Heavenly Secrets, only to find that everything concerning that Pixiu seemed shrouded in mist, impossible to calculate.
The Great Dao numbered fifty, Heaven derived forty-nine, and The One That Escaped remained.
Could this Pixiu be The One That Escaped?
Was it an existence beyond Heavenly Dao's control?
Though Hongjun harbored countless doubts regarding Heavenly Dao's edict and even felt a trace of wariness toward this mysterious variable,
he had yet to become a Saint and still needed to rely on Heavenly Dao's power. There was simply no room for refusal.
Unable to do anything else, Hongjun could only let out a soft sigh and rise to his feet.
With a sweep of his sleeve, he transformed into a streak of purple qi, departed White Jade Capital, tore through the boundless void, and headed straight for West Kunlun to find the Pixiu mentioned by Heavenly Dao.
At the same time.
West Kunlun, within the Kunlun Sacred Realm concealed by the Xiantian Array.
Having successfully broken the array with the Law of Space, Tianlu stepped into this secluded Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
The moment he entered, Xiantian Spiritual Qi a thousand times denser than that outside rushed toward him, nearly condensing into tangible spiritual liquid as it nourished his body.
Tianlu took a deep breath and immediately felt refreshed from head to toe.
He raised his eyes and looked at the dreamlike sight before him, unable to stop himself from voicing an astonished exclamation.
A self-formed divine hall!
At the center of this vast Cave Heaven Blessed Land, immortal flowers blossomed and phantasmal Auspicious Beasts galloped. Upon the Spirit Spring Immortal Mountain, where the spiritual qi was most concentrated,
there stood palace complexes of breathtaking beauty and majestic grandeur, rising from the earth.
Within this Cave Heaven Blessed Land, palaces had actually formed themselves. Flying pavilions and crimson terraces, jade towers and jeweled halls radiated ancient and sacred Primordial Dao Rhythms.
After his surprise faded, Tianlu found it only natural.
After all, this was the wondrous Primordial World of Creation.
High in the heavens, wasn't the future Thirty-Three Layer Heavenly Court ruled by the Demon Race also constructed by heaven and earth's own mighty power?
Perhaps East Kunlun also had such naturally formed palaces; he simply had not found them before.
But on second thought, this was West Kunlun. According to the ordained fate of the Primordial World, this sprawling cluster of magnificent palaces should be Queen Mother of the West's Dao field.
But Tianlu did not care about any of that. Since he had entered, all the opportunities here belonged to him now.
His eyes gleamed as Tianlu immediately began swaggering through this Cave Heaven Blessed Land in search of its hidden opportunities and treasures.
His Daluo Golden Immortal divine sense spread out. Wherever it passed, whether rare immortal herbs and spiritual roots or spirit stones shining with treasure light, he opened his mouth and sucked them all into his Abdominal Space.
At this moment, in the deepest part of this Cave Heaven Blessed Land,
a yet-untransformed wisp of Primordial Yin Qi was curled up at the bottom of a spiritual vein, trembling violently.
She was horrified beyond measure. She could not understand how anyone had forcibly broken through the extremely profound Xiantian Concealment Array guarding her Accompanying Birth Dao Field and intruded into her territory.
What drove her further into despair was that the aura sweeping over her without restraint was vast as an abyss. It was clearly at the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
Such terrifying strength was unquestionably far beyond her, a wisp of Primordial Yin Qi that had not even taken form.
Faced with such a domineering intruder, she could not summon even a trace of resistance, only hoping that this mighty being would leave soon.
