Lineage on Par with the Three Pure Ones, a Top-Tier Grotto-Heaven Paradise?

Watching Nuwa descend upon Mount Shouyang while seated atop the Five-Colored Golden Phoenix, both Grand Pure One Laozi and Zhunti and Jieyin showed a flicker of surprise.

Nuwa was the first among the Heavenly Dao Six Sages to attain the Dao and become a Saint. She had neither established a Saint sect nor taken any disciples.

After becoming a Saint through creating humanity, she had established Wa Sovereign Heaven within the Primordial Starry Sky and secluded herself from the world. She didn't even concern herself with the Human Race she had created.

Who could've imagined that, after Heavenly Dao had successively bestowed Merit four times, even the detached Nuwa could no longer sit still and had personally descended upon Mount Shouyang?

"The Human Race is gone?"

Setting aside the thoughts of the Saints and numerous Great Supernatural Beings, Nuwa sat atop the Five-Colored Golden Phoenix, her expression neither sorrowful nor joyful. Yet when her divine sense swept across the empty Mount Shouyang, where no trace of the Human Race remained, a ripple still rose in her heart.

The Human Race was far too weak. After creating such a frail race, she had never concerned herself with it again, letting it fend for itself in the Primordial World.

Her descent upon Mount Shouyang this time had also been for Merit.

After all, no matter how detached she was from worldly affairs, Heavenly Dao Merit was still immensely tempting even to a Saint!

Who could've imagined that the Human Race had now vanished from the Primordial World without a trace? No matter how she deduced, she couldn't derive any information about their whereabouts.

"Forget it!"

Seeing that her deductions yielded nothing, Nuwa simply stopped. No matter what, the Human Race was the race she had created. As the Human Race Holy Mother, she would forever enjoy thirty percent of the Human Race's Fortune!

As long as the Human Race Holy Mother existed, even if she couldn't obtain Merit, thirty percent of the Human Race's Fortune would still gather upon her!

With that thought, her expression remained indifferent, neither sorrowful nor joyful. Seated atop the Five-Colored Golden Phoenix, she vanished from the spot—coming in haste, leaving in haste.

"What misery! What misery!"

Over here, Zhunti and Jieyin also wore bitter expressions. They had come this time hoping to scoop up some benefits.

Who could've imagined that not only had they gained nothing, but Grand Pure One Laozi had beaten them until their heads were covered in lumps, making them lose face badly? Saints were undying and imperishable, and valued face above all else.

Though the Two Western Sages didn't care much about such things, that was only if there were benefits to be gained!

Seeing the Human Race vanish and even Nuwa leave, the Two Western Sages moved and disappeared from the spot as well.

"This..."

At this moment, Grand Pure One Laozi's expression was also extremely ugly.

No matter how weak the Two Western Sages were, they were still Heavenly Dao Sages. Making them lose face so severely this time had created no small karmic entanglement!

His opportunity had been snatched away, and he had formed no small karmic entanglement with the Two Western Sages. Grand Pure One Laozi had nearly been angered into vomiting blood again, but he quickly calmed down.

Saints wielded Heavenly Dao Authority and were undying and imperishable. Since the opportunity had already been lost, there was no use dwelling on it.

The next moment, Grand Pure One Laozi moved and left. Before long, most of the numerous Great Supernatural Beings departed as well.

Only a small number remained unwilling to give up, still lingering near Mount Shouyang. But the Human Race seemed to have vanished completely, leaving behind no trace whatsoever.

"Phew! Top-tier Sage Lineage, achieved!"

In a hidden restriction trillions upon trillions of miles from Mount Shouyang, Zhao Gongming slowly opened his eyes after refining the successive Heavenly Dao Merits.

His lineage underwent another transformation, rising in one sustained push from the level of an ordinary Sage Lineage to that of a top-tier Sage Lineage.

Yes, even top-tier innate sacred beings—the level of Sage Lineage—had differences between them.

Zhunti and Jieyin naturally belonged to the very bottom tier.

Nuwa belonged to the second tier!

As for the Three Pure Ones, transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, they naturally possessed the most outstanding lineage among Saints.

They had nearly reached the limits of the Primordial World, just one step away from the legendary Chaos God-Devil Lineage.

His lineage had now reached the level of the Three Pure Ones. To say Heaven favored him would be no exaggeration. Compared to before, Zhao Gongming could clearly sense that his cultivation speed had surged by more than a hundredfold. Even without actively cultivating, the spiritual energy and laws between heaven and earth poured into his body on their own. Every movement seemed blessed by the power of heaven and earth, emanating an astonishingly sacred aura. The Fortune hidden in the unseen likewise underwent a tremendous surge.

After all, with the birth of the Three Ancestors of Humanity and the Human Race Fundamental Cultivation Method, the Human Race was now multiplying and thriving, its Fortune soaring. He held the Kongtong Seal, a Supreme Treasure of the Human Race that gathered its Fortune, so he naturally received the greatest share of those benefits. Combined with the Fortune explosively increased by his lineage's transformation, golden Fortune light around him now shrouded a radius of a thousand zhang, manifesting one golden Fortune lotus after another. To call his fortune soaring to the heavens would not be an exaggeration!

"I wonder what kind of treasure I can find if I use the Great Destiny Art with my current Fortune?"

Zhao Gongming murmured, anticipation appearing on his face. The next moment, he acted without hesitation and immediately used the Great Destiny Art!

"Seek out the remaining twelve Dinghai Divine Pearls, as well as an opportunity most suited to me!"

Buzz!

At that moment, a black hole emerged with him at its center. In a short time, an oceanic amount of Fortune was devoured.

Very soon, an unseen pull arose within Zhao Gongming's heart.

Clearly, this was the location of the remaining twelve Dinghai Divine Pearls. Though it consumed an astonishing amount of Fortune—

Compared to Zhao Gongming's terrifying Fortune at present, it was hardly worth mentioning!

Boom!

Yet at that moment, an even more terrifying black hole vortex appeared. Then, to Zhao Gongming's alarm—

With him at its center, one-third of his Fortune was swallowed in a mere instant, and it showed no signs of stopping at all!

"What?"

Zhao Gongming was stunned, but instead of being shocked, he was delighted. After all, the more terrifying the Fortune consumed by the Great Destiny Art, the more astonishing the opportunity it found would naturally be.

With the Kongtong Seal by his side, as the Human Race multiplied and thrived, a continuous stream of Fortune gathered to him. Moreover, the Great Fortune Art and the Fortune-Governing Compass also gathered Fortune.

Even if his Fortune was consumed, he could recover it at the fastest possible speed.

Soon, when the black hole vanished, Zhao Gongming discovered that more than half the Fortune around him had been consumed. The golden Fortune light had also sharply contracted to within a hundred zhang.

Before he could recover his senses, an unimaginably powerful pull suddenly arose from within his heart.

That pull was too intense. It even made Zhao Gongming's heart pound instinctively, causing his expression to change abruptly.

"This opportunity is in the same location as the Dinghai Divine Pearls?"

Zhao Gongming's expression shifted slightly as he sensed the pull's location, and a guess surfaced in his heart.

The next moment, he acted without hesitation, transforming into a clear breeze and following the unseen pull straight toward the Eastern Sea.

Riding the wind, he looked down upon the Primordial World from high in the sky. As he felt the gentle breeze blowing toward him, many insights soon arose in Zhao Gongming's heart.

[You ride upon the clear breeze, comprehending the gentle breeze between heaven and earth. You gain a little insight; your Wind Law has improved. Current Wind Law: 55%]

[You continuously ride the clear breeze. Combining it with the Wind Law, a flash of inspiration strikes, and you comprehend the minor divine ability—Wind Riding.]

"Here?"

The Primordial World was boundlessly vast. Following the unseen pull, Zhao Gongming came to a stop. With the Wind Law upon him and the minor divine ability Wind Riding, he could cross tens of millions of miles in an instant.

Even so, it had still taken him a full hundred years to barely reach the depths of the Eastern Sea. This showed just how indescribably vast the Primordial World was.

Yet before him, aside from the endless seawater stretching as far as the eye could see, there was nothing at all.

Boom!

The Myriad Heavens World carried terrifying might as it smashed violently down ahead. The formerly tranquil Eastern Sea was struck into towering waves hundreds of millions of zhang high.

The next moment, as an arcane ripple emerged, an enormous and complex restriction slowly manifested before Zhao Gongming's delighted gaze.

"This is... a top-tier Innate Restriction?"

Zhao Gongming nearly cried out in surprise. Though he had already guessed as much, joy and excitement still surged within his heart at this moment.

Within a top-tier Innate Restriction lay a legendary top-tier Grotto-Heaven Paradise!

One had to know that even Heavenly Dao Sages found it difficult to locate a top-tier Grotto-Heaven Paradise to serve as their own Daoist sanctuary.

When Eastern King Lord established the Eastern Sea Immortal Alliance, its momentum had once been unmatched. What he relied upon was the Penglai Immortal Island he had found.

From this, one could see what kind of resources a top-tier Grotto-Heaven Paradise contained. It could even be enough to create an enormous faction.

With that thought, Zhao Gongming suppressed the excitement in his heart. With a wave of his hand, the Myriad Heavens World rumbled forth, enveloping an area of hundreds of millions of miles and isolating the restriction's ripples and aura.

Then he immersed his mind and began breaking it directly. Under his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, he easily found the key nodes of numerous formations.

The incomparably complex top-tier Innate Restriction was being broken at an astonishing speed.

Before long, numerous insights surfaced in his mind.

[You break the restriction of Yingzhou Immortal Island and gain a little insight. Your Formation Law has improved greatly. Current Formation Law: 57%]

[You break the restriction of Yingzhou Immortal Island. Your Formation Law has improved greatly, and you comprehend the Purification Law. Current Purification Law: 65%]

[You completely break the restriction of Yingzhou Immortal Island. Your Chaotic Cosmos Formation has been perfected, and you comprehend the Five Elements Law. Current Five Elements Law: 45%]

"This is... Yingzhou Immortal Island?"
