Information and the Journey to the Ruins of Return
The information displayed on the light screen continued to flood into Li Yunjing's mind.
In addition to the map, there are also some annotations and explanations left by the True Lord Taichu.
In his commentary, True Lord Taichu provides a detailed account of the history of the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm and the situation of its various forces.
Based on this information, Li Yunjing knew that the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm was born three million years ago, evolving from a Primordial Divine Light.
The three Dao Lords were among the first beings born from the Primordial Divine Light, and they each controlled the three primordial powers of wood, fire, and metal.
After a long period of cultivation, the three Dao Lords finally gained power.
Unfortunately, due to the upper limit of the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm, although the three Dao Lords had long lifespans, their cultivation levels were always stuck at the Dao Union Perfection.
In order to consolidate their rule, the three Dao Lords joined forces to suppress other talented cultivators and prohibited anyone from breaking through to the Dao Union Perfection Realm.
Any cultivator who has a chance to break through to the Dao Union Perfection will be ruthlessly eliminated by them.
Even so, it still couldn't stop some highly talented people from reaching this level.
At this point, the three Dao Lords would adopt other strategies, the simplest of which was to use the treasures they had collected due to their long lives to bribe these geniuses.
Many geniuses couldn't resist the temptation and were bribed by the three Dao Lords.
Of course, the three Dao Lords did not directly bribe them, but rather used the pretext of researching ways to break through the limits to bring these people into their camp.
The True Lord Taichu experienced this kind of thing from the very beginning.
Originally, even the True Lord Taichu believed it and planned to join the camp of the three Dao Lords.
But soon, the True Lord Taichu noticed something was wrong.
The Primordial Beginning Azure Lotus unexpectedly issued a warning, which immediately alerted the True Lord Taichu, who quickly broke away from the group.
Unfortunately, the three Dao Lords were too despicable, resorting to such a sneak attack.
In addition to these, the True Lord Taichu also marked the degree of danger and the distribution of treasures in various places of the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm in the annotations.
For example, there is a place in the Eastern Domain called the Ancient Tomb of a Hundred Beasts, which contains many ancient beasts from the High Antiquity era and many precious treasures, but it is also extremely dangerous.
In the vast desert of the Western Regions, there is a sacred mountain, beneath which an High Antiquity ferocious beast is suppressed. If the ferocity of that beast is almost completely eradicated, it can become a docile spiritual beast, which would be quite good as a pet.
The Southern Region and Northern Domain also have markings indicating the presence of certain treasures.
Li Yunjing glanced at these annotations and then ignored them.
Now is not the time to focus on these markings; the right time will come after we conquer the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm.
What concerned Li Yunjing the most was that the True Lord Taichu left the following passage at the end of his commentary.
[The three Dao Lords are not invincible. Although they control the power of origin, their Dao principles are incomplete. As long as the core of the Taichu Origin can be found, their power can be suppressed. The core of the Taichu Origin is located within the Taichu Divine Mountain in the Holy Domain.]
After Li Yunjing had digested all the information, the light screen slowly dissipated.
He opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.
This map and the annotations left by the True Lord Taichu gave him a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm.
He now knows the weaknesses of the three Dao Lords, as well as the situation in various parts of the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm.
Next, he only needs to follow the plan, gradually integrate the forces in the Eastern Domain, and then expand to other regions, while waiting for the Luozhen Sect's army.
"My lord, are you alright?" Hei Feng asked anxiously when he saw Li Yunjing open his eyes.
Li Yunjing shook his head and said, "I'm fine. That ray of light just now was a complete map of the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm left behind by the True Lord Taichu."
"A complete map of the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm?" Golden Wing King, Azure Scale King, and Hei Feng exclaimed simultaneously.
They have lived in the Eastern Domain for thousands of years, yet they don't even have a complete map of the Eastern Domain, let alone a map of the entire Primordial Beginning Dao Realm.
The Primordial Beginning Dao Realm is vast, with many areas being uninhabited and fraught with danger.
Having a complete map is like having the key to the entire Primordial Beginning Dao Realm.
"That's right." Li Yunjing nodded and said, "This map not only marks the geography of each domain, but also the distribution of various forces, the location of Spirit Vein, the location of High Antiquity ruins, and even detailed information about the three Dao Lords."
The Golden Wing King exclaimed excitedly, "Excellent! With this map, we'll never have to worry about getting lost again when traveling in the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm!"
The Azure Scale King added, "Furthermore, we can use the markings on the map to search for High Antiquity ruins and obtain even more treasures and legacies!"
Li Yunjing smiled faintly and said, "These are all secondary. The most important thing is that with this map, we can formulate a detailed plan to gradually conquer the entire Primordial Beginning Dao Realm."
The Golden Wing King, the Azure Scale King, and the Hei Feng exchanged glances, each seeing excitement and anticipation in the other's eyes.
Although they had reigned supreme in the Eastern Domain for thousands of years, they had always lived in the shadow of the three Dao Lords.
Once the order came from the Holy Domain, the three demons had no choice but to obey.
Now that Li Yunjing has actually declared his intention to conquer the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm, it means that the three demons have a chance to turn their lives around.
As for conquering the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm, the three demons firmly believed that Li Yunjing could accomplish it.
There's nothing else to it; the strength Li Yunjing has demonstrated is enough.
"My lord, we will obey you! We will do whatever you ask us to do!" The three demons bowed to Li Yunjing at the same time, their tone extremely firm.
Li Yunjing nodded and said, "Alright, now, let's leave this cave abode. The Myriad Demon Hall has been destroyed, and the Eastern Domain is now leaderless."
We must seize this opportunity to integrate all the forces in the Eastern Domain, establish a unified regime, and prepare for future wars.
After saying this, Li Yunjing took one last look at the withered bones of the True Lord Taichu, then turned and left the cultivation room with the Golden Wing King, the Azure Scale King, and the Hei Feng.
When they emerged from the cave abode, the sky outside had already darkened.
The Spiritual Qi Tide has ended, and peace has returned to the world.
Golden Wing King walked to Li Yunjing's side. "My lord, let's go back to my cave abode and rest."
Li Yunjing shook his head. "There's no need."
Immediately afterward, Li Yunjing said directly, "Go straight to the Ruins of Return Manor Ruins of Return Manor take it over first."
Upon hearing this, the three demons immediately became excited.
Because he had a map in his mind, Li Yunjing knew where Ruins of Return Manor was.
So he immediately harnessed the rainbow light and planned to fly towards the Ruins of Return Manor.
However, at this moment, the Golden Wing King volunteered, "My lord, leave the matter of traveling to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Golden Wing King transformed back into his beast form.
A Golden-Winged Peng blotting out the sky, appeared in the heavens.
The Golden Wing King's bloodline is that of High Antiquity divine bird, and it flies at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing this, Li Yunjing smiled and said, "Alright, that'll save me some effort."
Then, Li Yunjing leaped onto the back of the Golden Wing King.
The Azure Scale King and Hei Feng also wanted to hitch a ride, but they were blasted away by the Golden Wing King.
"You have no manners! I'm your older brother! Go on your way!"
Having said that, the Golden Wing King flapped its wings and transformed into a Golden Light, disappearing from the spot in the blink of an eye, leaving only a golden trail in the air.
