19: Wandering in the primordial wilderness, encountering Hongjun

After a period of stabilizing his Realm, Qing Wu decided to head out into the Primordial World again with Yuan Feng.

This world should not be limited to the Nanming Undying Volcano, nor should it be confined to the Southern Land.

Although they had yet to travel across the entire Southern Land since their birth,

After discussing the Dao with the two individuals, Five Elements and Yin and Yang, Qing Wu felt a yearning for a sacred place in his heart.

That was the heavenly pillar of the Primordial World—Mount Buzhou.

Qing Wu set it as the first stop of this journey.

Formed from the spine of the Pangu Great God after the opening of the Primordial World, it carried too much of Pangu's Karma.

It was not as simple as just being the pillar supporting the sky of the Primordial World.

It was more of a boundary, or a connecting link, between Chaos and the Primordial World.

According to what those two Fellow Daoists said, going to Mount Buzhou would more or less grant some Opportunities.

Furthermore, there was a chance to glimpse the heroic posture of the one who opened the Primordial World.

Qing Wu naturally wanted to go and see it.

As for Yuan Feng, her heart was already stirred upon hearing Qing Wu mention that treasures were everywhere on Mount Buzhou.

However, before setting out, they still needed to organize the situation at home.

Nowadays, although there was a lot of activity from living beings on the mountain,

Compared to the Immortal Volcano, which was composed of countless volcano clusters, these few living beings were still too few.

Even if they were out for a long time, there was no need to worry about any Chaos breaking out.

After checking the various Formations on the mountain and communicating with the will of the Immortal Volcano, the two left the Immortal Volcano.

At this time, a faint trace of vicious, evil aura permeated between heaven and earth.

Certain information was being transmitted within it secretly, but Qing Wu had no way to decode it.

It should be that Emperor of Vicious Beasts who had already begun to take action, starting to issue a call to the Vicious Beasts within this Primordial World.

Sure enough, Vicious Beasts were frequently attracted by this Evil Qi and headed towards the north.

Qing Wu had no good feelings toward this race that lacked intelligence and knew only slaughter.

Their appearances followed no patterns; you could see them in all sorts of places.

Regardless of whether there was a gap in strength between the two sides, once they set their sights on you, they would give you a vicious blow.

They were truly like the 'blind boxes' of the Primordial World.

Except, nothing good could be opened from these blind boxes.

Logically speaking, the existence of Vicious Beasts was harmful and of no benefit to the Primordial World.

Slaying them should result in Karma being bestowed.

But along the way, the two of them slew many Vicious Beasts, yet the Great Dao showed no reaction, let alone bestowing Karma.

It seemed that at this time, the activities of the Vicious Beasts were not yet enough to attract the attention of the Great Dao.

After all, that Vicious Beast Emperor had only just taken action; it would still take a long time to brew into a Great Calamity.

Qing Wu took this time to have a good look at this Primordial World.

The direction of Mount Buzhou was very easy to distinguish.

In the Primordial World, the sky is round and the earth is square, and Mount Buzhou is the center of this world.

You might not know where you are, but you cannot not know which direction Mount Buzhou is in.

Because it can be seen just by looking up.

Along the way, Yuan Feng continued to have constant Opportunities, often being favored by various treasures, with their Qi falling upon her head.

Yuan Feng's standards had also risen significantly by now; if a treasure's grade wasn't high, or if it didn't have a specific use, she no longer cared for it.

There was no helping it; as one of the few Innate Sacred Beings currently in the Primordial World, she simply wouldn't lack treasures.

Sometimes Qing Wu would wonder why, as fellow Innate Sacred Beings, Yuan Feng was born earlier than the Three Pure Ones, Dijun, Taiyi, and Zhenyuanzi.

Being born to meet the calamity was one aspect.

Qing Wu thought of a reason that was even more suitable for Yuan Feng.

Currently active in this Primordial World, besides the Vicious Beasts, were the Reincarnations of the Chaos Gods and Demons.

If so many treasures were grasped by them, wouldn't it be a loss for the Primordial World?

Combined with Yuan Feng being so dedicated to finding treasures, this explanation was not without merit.

Stopping and starting along the way, tens of thousands of years passed.

The Mount Buzhou before them became increasingly tall and grand, which meant they were already very close to Mount Buzhou.

At this moment, a Daoist came walking toward them.

Seeing Qing Wu and the other traveling together, the newcomer immediately stopped in his tracks, seemingly sizing the two of them up.

Similarly, Qing Wu and his companion were also sizing him up.

Observing his aura, he should undoubtedly be a solid Daluo, and he was somewhat stronger than the two of them.

But with Qing Wu and the other working together, they wouldn't be afraid of him.

“Qing Wu, this person...” Yuan Feng was just about to ask how to treat this person.

But she saw Qing Wu with a look of contemplation on his face.

Although the newcomer had not yet announced his name, this temperament of his was enough to explain his identity.

Dressed in plain clothes, with a deep expression, he was naturally surrounded by dao rhyme.

Behind him, the All Heavens Celebration Cloud radiated a supreme, noble Qi.

This was a supreme protective treasure formed from a strand of noble Qi within the chest of the Pangu Great God.

It had the effect of being immune to all techniques and repelling all evil, making it very recognizable.

And this Daoist was a heavyweight character.

As a Reincarnation of a Chaos God and Demon, he was not powerful among the many Chaos Gods and Demons.

Yet he was able to rely on step-by-step brilliant calculations to trap all the Chaos Gods and Demons one by one.

In the end, he merged with the Heavenly Dao and became the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial World.

Whether this result was what he had calculated from the beginning was unknown.

After a brief exchange of looks, the newcomer took the initiative to approach.

His entire aura was very kind, and the radiance of the Celebration Cloud made him look full of righteous Qi.

“This poor Daoist is Hongjun. To meet you two Fellow Daoists today, we truly have a fated connection.”

Since the other party was so polite, Qing Wu naturally returned the greeting: “Poor Daoists Qing Wu and Yuan Feng greet Fellow Daoist.”

Upon hearing the name, Hongjun's brow furrowed slightly.

Secretly, the light of the creation jade plate surged as he was performing a calculation.

It was only because the feeling Qing Wu gave him was somewhat similar to a certain Fellow Daoist he was wary of.

It wasn't to say that the Great Daos the two practiced were the same.

Rather, as Qing Wu was the transformation of a Heavenly Spiritual Root, it naturally made him draw an association.

But upon calculating that Qing Wu was a true-blue Primordial World creature and that no Dao struggle existed between them,

Hongjun's brow smoothed out. “Fellow Daoist is actually the transformation of a Heavenly Spiritual Root; to have such profound cultivation is truly rare in heaven and earth.”

At this moment, Qing Wu did not reply but instead looked at him somewhat coldly.

Calculating someone's origins right in front of them was truly a bit too rude.

You could do this behind their back, or do it after going back.

To calculate in front of someone's face carried a bit of a provocative meaning.

But Hongjun seemed to pay too much attention to that one person, so after meeting Qing Wu, he subconsciously activated the creation jade plate to calculate whether there was a connection between the two.

After all, the transformation of a Heavenly Spiritual Root was truly rare in the Primordial World.

Whether that person was involved in this, he really had to make it clear.

The two of them, Qing Wu and Yuan Feng, had the lidi firelight banner to obscure their own heavenly secrets, so it was difficult for Hongjun to calculate the full picture.

But it was enough just to know that his existence had nothing to do with that Fellow Daoist.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Hongjun then took out an item. “This item is a small Opportunity this poor Daoist obtained while traveling the Primordial World. Since I have a fated connection with you two today, I shall gift it to you.”
