"Why is that? Can't I create Cell Small Worlds first, then merge the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws into them?"
Naturally, you can create Cell Small Worlds first. However, without the operation of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws, those Cell Small Worlds would be completely useless and could easily be destroyed by enemies in battle. It is recommended that the host first collect the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws before creating Cell Small Worlds. At present, the host's Great Dao Laws can only support 360 million Cell Small Worlds.
"So that's how it is. I understand now!"
It seemed he still had to raise his proficiency level as quickly as possible. Once he unlocked the shop, he could exchange for Great Dao Law Talismans and break through his realm sooner.
Fortunately, his current strength was not weak either. At the very least, he was considered a T1 powerhouse in the Great Desolation. As long as the Heavenly Dao did not intervene, he could go wherever he pleased.
He should go out and take a look first. Otherwise, Houtu and his brothers-in-law would probably worry about him.
Immediately afterward, Ling Wudao exited the Divine Talisman Space. But when he emerged, he discovered that the Twelve Ancestor Witches had already entered seclusion to cultivate.
"Ah! Looks like I came out a little too late. But it's fine. Leaving behind a Divine Sense avatar will be enough."
As soon as he spoke, Ling Wudao split off a Divine Sense avatar and handed twelve Heaven-Covering Talismans to it. Then, he vanished from Pangu Hall in a flash.
When he appeared again, he had already arrived above Jade Capital Mountain while remaining invisible.
Hongjun, Hongjun... I'd like to see what secrets you've hidden inside Jade Capital Mountain.
Whoosh!
Ling Wudao's body instantly vanished. When he reappeared, he was already inside Hongjun's cave abode, where he immediately began searching.
After searching for a while, he found that the outer area contained only relatively low-grade spirit roots.
"Although these spirit roots are a bit low-grade, there are quite a lot of them. They'll be good for helping the human race build a foundation."
With that, Ling Wudao directly stored all the surrounding spirit roots in the System Space.
Then he headed deeper into the cave abode. Upon reaching its depths, he found nothing inside. That shouldn't be right! Hongjun did not allow any living beings to enter this place, so there had to be some secret treasure or hidden secret here.
But there was nothing here now. Could it be that Hongjun had moved all the treasures from this place into Zixiao Palace?
No, that was absolutely impossible. Hongjun was wary of the Heavenly Dao, so how could he bring secret treasures or secrets into Zixiao Palace? He must have hidden them somewhere. He should search carefully first; if there truly was nothing, then so be it.
With that thought, Ling Wudao began searching the area. Yet even after a thorough search, he failed to find any mechanisms or hidden formations.
"Damn old bastard, he actually didn't keep his treasures here. This is infuriating."
After saying that, he kicked a pebble beneath his foot away. Bang!
A crisp sound rang out. Hearing it, Ling Wudao immediately walked over and knocked on the stone wall several times.
This stone wall was hollow. Which meant...!
With that thought, Ling Wudao immediately gathered his Mana and struck out with his palm.
Rumble!
The stone wall shattered. As broken rocks fell to the ground, a dark and profound passage was revealed behind it.
"There really is a secret."
With that, he walked into the passage.
No one knew how much time passed before Ling Wudao finally reached the deepest part of the passage. Just as he was about to leave it, he discovered that a sealing formation stood at the exit.
This was the Five Elements Sealing Array. Hongjun used this to seal the passage—could it be to stop whatever was inside from escaping?
Whatever. His purpose in coming here was to find treasures, so he should go in and see what was inside first. In any case, he had the Chaos Pearl. No matter how powerful the thing inside was, he could flee at any time.
Thinking this, Ling Wudao directly summoned the Chaos Pearl and passed through the Five Elements Sealing Array.
When he entered, Ling Wudao nearly cried out.
There were simply too many treasures inside, even more than in the Ancestor Witch Treasure Trove. There were not only pills and cultivation techniques, but also vast quantities of spirit roots and magical treasures.
Ling Wudao inwardly cried out, I'm rich! I'm rich!
Just as he was rejoicing inwardly, a voice interrupted his delight.
"Brat, I never expected you to possess the legendary Chaos Pearl. Who exactly are you?"
Hearing this, Ling Wudao narrowed his eyes slightly, then raised his head and looked toward the source of the voice. In the center of the cave was a mass of black mist, tightly bound by countless golden chains and utterly unable to escape.
Looking at the black mist ahead, Ling Wudao spoke coldly. "Who are you, and why has that old bastard Hongjun imprisoned you here?"
"Ha ha ha!!"
"I never expected there to be someone in the Great Desolation who does not recognize me. Boy, listen carefully. I am Demon Ancestor Luo Hou."
At those words, Ling Wudao could not help showing a shocked expression.
"You're Luo Hou? That can't be right! Didn't you fall at Hongjun's hands in ancient times?"
"Hmph!"
"I did indeed lose to Hongjun, but I did not fall. In that battle, I self-destructed and destroyed the entire Western World. Yet I never expected that I would not completely perish, instead preserving a trace of my Divine Soul."
"But unfortunately, although I preserved a trace of my Divine Soul, I fell into Hongjun's hands and was imprisoned in this damned place."
"Boy, judging from what you said earlier, you seem to bear a deep grudge against Hongjun as well. Otherwise, you would not call Hongjun an old bastard."
"Luo Hou, isn't it a bit much for you to call me boy? You should know that my strength is no weaker than Hongjun's."
"Ha ha ha!"
"Boy, do you think I can't see through your cultivation? You're merely a little cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage!"
"For me to call you boy is already giving you plenty of respect."
Ling Wudao looked at Luo Hou with disdain. "No wonder you lost to that old bastard Hongjun. You underestimate others too much and only believe what you can see."
"Sometimes, you shouldn't judge only by appearances. Otherwise, you'll lose terribly."
"Enough. I don't have time to chat with you. It's more practical for me to take Hongjun's treasures. Talking to you brings me no benefit and is completely meaningless to me."
After saying that, Ling Wudao turned around and began gathering up the treasures and magical artifacts on the ground.
Before long, Ling Wudao had stored every treasure Hongjun kept here inside the Chaos Pearl.
After collecting everything, he turned to look in Luo Hou's direction.
"Luo Hou, we'll meet again if fate allows!"
Hearing this, Luo Hou immediately became anxious. "B-Boy... no, fellow Daoist, please save me from this place."
"As long as you can rescue me from here, how about I give you the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc?"
So that was it. Hongjun had imprisoned Luo Hou for the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc. No wonder this fellow had not completely perished even now.
