23: God's Rebellious Ambition

Leaving the Pangu Shrine, Qing Wu and his companion walked outside.

Qing Wu did not take offense at Pangu Great God's act of "driving them away" halfway through.

Of course, it wasn't his place to take offense anyway.

After all, he had run into someone else's heart and teased their descendants, so being kicked out was normal.

As they neared the foot of the mountain, Qing Wu suddenly felt a familiar, refreshing Qi wafting toward him.

"It's three lights divine water, and a lot of it!"

He had just given twelve drops to the Ancestral Witches, and now this appeared, just in time to replenish his stock.

He wondered if some being had specially arranged this.

If so, it would be best if they arranged a whole pool for him.

Yuan Feng frowned slightly, "Could it be another Innate Spiritual Root?"

Her guess was not without reason; the Formation of three lights divine water required gathering the power of the Zhou Tian Starry Sky and borrowing the great power of the sun, moon, and stars to condense into drops.

Innate Spiritual Roots themselves grew very tall and could receive starlight from a wide area.

Their spiritual light would naturally gather starlight and condense three lights divine water.

One could say that every Innate Spiritual Root was a machine for condensing three lights divine water.

As a Supreme-Grade Acquired Spiritual Root, Qing Wu's true form often condensed three lights divine water.

Although it only produced one drop every few thousand years, that single drop could be used for a long time.

Thus, they didn't lack three lights divine water.

However, his intuition told him that this time, there was a great deal of three lights divine water.

Following the guidance, the two walked straight ahead.

They soon discovered a space protected by an Innate Formation.

Obviously, the aura of the three lights divine water was coming from within.

Having already established a connection, indicating he was fated with what lay inside, the Formation was quickly broken by them.

Upon entering the Formation, Qing Wu and his companion's eyes lit up.

Perhaps because of this Formation, the three lights divine water produced by the Innate Spiritual Roots in the vicinity had all been gathered here.

Thus creating this sight.

Before them was a small lake filled with three lights divine water, reflecting dazzling divine light under the starlight.

"They really did arrange a whole pool!"

"It could even be used for bathing!"

Thinking this, Qing Wu for some reason turned to glance at Yuan Feng.

The latter was completely unaware, her beautiful eyes fixed on a shadow in the center of the lake.

"There's a treasure there!"

Truly, Yuan Feng was like a treasure-hunting rat; she was excellent at finding treasures.

Qing Wu looked toward the center of the lake and indeed found something hidden there.

Looking closely, he saw it was a glazed vase, which was suppressing the lake of three lights divine water.

Qing Wu immediately understood; this was likely arranged for him as a container, fearing they wouldn't be able to carry away so much three lights divine water.

This vase should be the Glazed Jade Purifying Vase, which was originally supposed to be obtained by Yuanshi and later given to his Disciple, Daoist Cihang, becoming their signature Magic Treasure.

This vase didn't have much use; its greatest function was to hold the three lights divine water.

Qing Wu sent out his dharmic power and began to connect with the Glazed Jade Purifying Vase, attempting to refine it.

Considering that the image of holding the vase was more suitable for a female form, Qing Wu let Yuan Feng refine it.

Once the Glazed Jade Purifying Vase was in her hands, Yuan Feng also grew quite fond of it, gesturing with the vase around Qing Wu.

It was as if she were collecting three lights divine water from his true form.

Qing Wu shook his head, "Hurry and collect the three lights divine water. Without the suppression of this vase, it will eventually flow away."

Hearing this, Yuan Feng stopped her movements and began to activate the Glazed Jade Purifying Vase.

A mysterious suction acted upon the lake water, creating ripples.

Slowly, the three lights divine water automatically gathered toward the vase.

Having finished, the two left the place.

After this, they rarely found any more treasures.

Excluding the possibility of someone setting this up—after all, that person wouldn't care for such minor treasures.

This meant their Opportunity had come to an end; staying longer was useless, so the two decided to leave Mount Buzhou and head to Kunlun Mountain.

Along the way, the two noticed that the baleful qi between heaven and earth was becoming increasingly thick.

Especially within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains of the Northern Lands, which were shrouded in baleful qi.

That Vicious Beast emperor should have already gathered a significant force.

The Northern Lands, the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

Many Vicious Beasts gathered here, and the baleful qi had reached an extreme density.

Atop a mountain peak, a figure was looking down upon the Primordial World; it was the Beast Emperor—Shen Ni.

Those eyes were full of ambition and desire, yet also carried a hint of resentment.

Why was his Vicious Beast race abandoned by the Primordial World since birth?

Not only was it difficult for them to develop intelligence, but their Cultivation required the baleful qi of this Primordial World.

This was formed from the resentment within the fragments of Chaos Gods and Demons that fell into the Primordial World after their fall.

Absorbing too much of this stuff would rot one's brain.

No wonder many Vicious Beasts, despite having great strength, still couldn't develop intelligence, let alone transform into an Innate Dao Body.

But Vicious Beasts were born with powerful Physical Bodies; at the same level of strength, they were much stronger than Primordial beings.

And since he was born as the emperor of the Vicious Beasts, he should naturally lead this race to dominate the Primordial World and fulfill his desires.

Thinking about it now, a race that only listened to his orders and was single-mindedly obsessed with fighting might be the most beneficial for him.

Shen Ni held a pitch-black spear, the murderous Qi flashing upon it chilling to the bone; it was that baleful treasure—the God-Slaying Spear.

With this command, ten thousand beasts submitted.

As he pointed toward the sky, four Vicious Beast Kings at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level stepped forward.

With a shout, they led ten thousand beasts to follow, departing from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

Beast Emperor Shen Ni began his move.

The Primordial World shook; the myriad races were about to face their first impact.

The Chaos Gods and Demons traveling through the Primordial World also felt something.

They all looked toward the Northern Lands.

Hongjun, Yin and Yang, Five Elements, and others also began their respective actions... Additionally, the myriad races of the Primordial World were forced to begin large-scale contact with the Vicious Beasts.

Starting from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the beings of the north were disturbed by this sudden invasion.

They began to flee in all directions, seeking protection.

Gradually, some tribes began to unite, spontaneously resisting the Vicious Beasts.

However, in the face of the powerful Vicious Beasts, their union was useless, and they were still steamrolled.

The myriad races could only continue seeking protection from powerful tribes... At this time, Qing Wu and his companion had just arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

The Kunlun Mountain before them was like a giant Dragon, stretching across the Primordial Land for countless hundreds of millions of miles.

In later generations, it was generally divided into East Kunlun and West Kunlun, which was actually related to several famous Innate Sacred Beings who appeared later.

East Kunlun was the Dao Field of the Three Pure Ones, while West Kunlun was the Dao Field of the West Queen Mother.

But in reality, even if the Dao Fields of several people were added together, they would not encompass the entirety of Kunlun Mountain.
