The Primordial Wilderness changed with each passing day. Since Kunpeng created Demon Script and left behind methods of inheritance, countless Demon Cultivators had risen in succession. After three thousand years of development, another three hundred and sixty-five great demons of the Demon Race had emerged. These great demons were no ordinary beings either. Though their cultivation could not compare with the Ten Great Demon Gods, each possessed the realm of a Golden Immortal and ruled over a stretch of heaven and earth, living carefree lives.
As the Demon Race developed, they inevitably encountered the shaman tribes beneath Mount Buzhou.
The two races seemed born enemies. Whenever they met, it was either your death or mine. Though the shaman tribes numbered only a million, their cultivation was supremely powerful. The Demon Race was still in the early stages of development, and whenever its members clashed with the shamans, they suffered more defeats than victories.
However, though the shaman tribes numbered a million, compared to the entire Primordial Wilderness, they were but a grain of millet in the vast sea. They could not stir up the slightest wave, nor could they occupy much territory. For a time, although there were minor frictions between the two races, they did not amount to much.
As time passed, the Primordial Wilderness gradually recovered its former vitality and became lively once more.
A host of great powers who had only just taken form also left their mountains and abodes, beginning to travel the Primordial Wilderness. Gradually, they gained some fame as well.
Among the famous ones was Redcloud Ancestor, formed from the first primordial streak of red cloud. From the moment he took form, he possessed the cultivation of a Daluo Golden Immortal. Redcloud Ancestor was truly extraordinary. He had once occupied a Sagehood seat in the Purple Cloud Palace and was known throughout the Primordial Wilderness as a good old fellow.
There was an Immortal named Zhen Yuanzi, formed from the Rejuvenation Grass, also known as the Ginseng Fruit Tree, one of the Ten Primordial Spiritual Roots. Like Mu Jizi, he was a primordial plant spirit. At birth, he held one of the Three Treasures, the Top-tier Innate Spirit Treasure Earth Book Treasure Mirror. His cultivation had also reached the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
Three Taoists were the Three Pure Ones: Grand Pure Moral Heavenly Venerable, Laozi Li Er; Primordial Heavenly Venerable; and Numinous Treasure Heavenly Venerable, Heaven-Connecting Cult Master. These three Taoists were even more extraordinary. They had been formed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit split into three, carrying Primordial Clear Qi within them. They possessed boundless merit from the creation of heaven and earth. They were future Saints and the forefathers of Taoism. From birth, the Three Pure Ones stood at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Peak. Laozi Li Er in particular held the Xuanhuang Pagoda, a postnatal merit-based defensive supreme treasure condensed from the Black-Yellow Qi of creation. This pagoda had nine levels. With it suspended above one's head, one would remain undefeated. It was truly a fine treasure.
There were also two True Persons. One was Emperor Donghua, formed from the first streak of yang qi at the creation of heaven and earth, and he possessed the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal from birth. The other was Queen Mother of the West, formed from the first streak of yin qi at the creation of heaven and earth, and she too possessed the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal from birth. Both were extraordinary. After Hongjun Dao Ancestor's first sermon, they were appointed to govern the male and female immortals of heaven and earth. Drawn together by yin and yang, they became Dao companions. When the two joined forces, they could claim a place among Daluo Golden Immortals.
There were two more, named Zhunti and Jieyin. One was formed from Subhuti, a primordial plant spirit, while the other was formed from the golden geng qi of heaven and earth. They too possessed the Dao practice of Daluo Golden Immortals. Like Mu Jizi and Kunpeng, they traveled as friends. They would become the future leaders of the Western Teaching and be numbered among the Sagehood seats, truly no ordinary figures. At birth, Zhunti refined his original body into a magical treasure named the Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree. Jieyin, meanwhile, was born holding a First-rate Innate Spirit Treasure named the Jieyin Divine Banner.
There were two more ancestors. One was Styx Ancestor, formed from a placenta within the Nine Nether Blood Sea. Styx Ancestor was truly blessed with great fortune. At birth, he held three Top-tier Innate Spirit Treasures: Yuantu, Avici, and the Twelfth-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus! His cultivation had also reached the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal. The other was Burning Lamp Ancestor, formed from a primordial coffin. At birth, he held the Coffin Lantern, one of the Four Symbols Spiritual Treasures and a First-rate Innate Spirit Treasure. His own cultivation had likewise reached the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal. In later generations, he would become Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha, first among Buddhism's Seven Ancient Buddhas, also known as Dingguang Buddha!
There were also two fairy maidens, named Xihe and Yuehua. Both had been formed from the essence of moonlight and possessed great divine abilities, with the cultivation of Daluo Golden Immortals. Xihe would later become the wife of Dijun, emperor of the Demon Race, and after taking charge of the Heavenly Court, she would govern the rear palace.
There were also Nuwa and Fuxi, great sages of the Demon Race. One would become one of the future Saints, while the other would become one of the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race. Both possessed immense divine abilities.
There were also the two Golden Crows born upon the sun, Dijun and Taiyi, as well as the Twelve Ancestral Shamans formed from Pangu's blood essence. There was naturally no need to say more about these figures!
Thus, great powers gathered throughout the Primordial Wilderness, making it truly bustling beyond compare!
That morning, warm winds danced, and strands of golden sunlight spilled across the entire Primordial Wilderness. The sunlight shone upon the morning dew, adding several more touches of vitality to the lively land!
In the distance, two figures rode auspicious clouds as they drifted leisurely through the air. Looking closer, were they not Mu Jizi and Kunpeng? The two conversed casually, carrying an air that transcended the mundane world.
"Brother, on this journey through the Primordial Wilderness, whether in scenery or treasures, nothing compares to what we found when we first traveled this land!"
Kunpeng lowered his cloud and casually reached out. A piece of Primordial Plant Essence emitting a faint spiritual aura landed in his hand. As he weighed the plant essence in his hand, he curled his lips in disdain.
"Getting an advantage and still acting spoiled!" Mu Jizi could not help shaking his head. Then, with a single stride, he arrived beside Kunpeng and said, "The Primordial Wilderness is no longer as it was at the beginning of creation. First, countless primordial objects took form. Then the devils created by Devil Ancestor Luohu ravaged the Primordial Wilderness for hundreds of years. After that, many great powers like us collected primordial objects, and finally, countless trees and monsters that took postnatal form gathered them to refine magical treasures and the like. All this has led to the extinction of primordial objects!"
At this point, Mu Jizi glanced at the smug Kunpeng, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant. Then he laughed and cursed, "How long have we even been off the island? You have already gained so much, yet you are still dissatisfied. You truly are no son of man!"
After sparring, the brothers Mu Jizi and Kunpeng left the North Sea and came to the Primordial Wilderness. Seeing that the land was no longer covered in primordial objects as it had been at the beginning of creation, they could not help feeling somewhat emotional. Then their childlike spirits suddenly stirred, and in a moment of playfulness, they made a wager to see who could find more primordial objects!
Whether Mu Jizi's luck was too poor, Kunpeng's luck was too good, or both were true, from the time of the wager until now, Mu Jizi had not collected a single primordial object.
Kunpeng, on the other hand, would pick up a piece of Primordial Plant Essence now and then, then gather a crystal of primordial geng qi...
Had that been all, Mu Jizi would not have had cause to curse him. But Kunpeng was somewhat shameless. It would have been one thing if he merely picked up primordial objects, yet he also kept making sarcastic remarks. It was truly infuriating!
At this moment, Kunpeng nodded and actually smiled again. "Brother speaks rightly. Your foolish younger brother has been too greedy. I should be like Brother and pay these primordial objects no heed!"
After saying this, Kunpeng deliberately paused. When he saw Mu Jizi's expression become like an overcast sky on the verge of rain, and recalled Mu Jizi's methods, he could not help shuddering. He hurriedly added, "Brother, how about we call off our wager here and now?"
After saying this, Kunpeng saw that Mu Jizi's expression had yet to improve. Gritting his teeth, he could only continue, "Does Brother not know that my Roc Form possesses not only the ability to Devour all things, but also the art of treasure-seeking? If Brother and I were to fight, I would be far from Brother's match. But if it is merely a matter of searching for primordial objects, with my innate divine abilities assisting me, Brother is far from my match!"
After saying that, Kunpeng secretly glanced at Mu Jizi again. Seeing his expression gradually improve, Kunpeng could not help letting out a slight sigh of relief!
