10: All the great powers gathered at the summit of Mount Buzhou

Great God Pangu's body of will began to dissipate.

The grotto-heaven where Taiqing was located also began to dissipate, and in the blink of an eye, it had completely vanished from his sight.

"Father God, wait! I still wanted to ask how to trigger the Heaven-Opening Merit."

Taiqing reached out his hand and hurriedly spoke.

But Great God Pangu's figure had already completely disappeared before his eyes.

The Heaven-Opening Merit possessed infinite mysteries.

If he could actively trigger the Heaven-Opening Merit, even if Heavenly Dao Hongjun joined forces, they would not be able to harm the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches in the slightest.

But after he took form and was born, that Heaven-Opening Merit remained hidden deep within his Primordial Spirit.

No matter how he tried to coax it, that Heaven-Opening Merit remained completely unmoved.

His plan to utilize the Heaven-Opening Merit had failed, which was why he only now remembered to ask Great God Pangu.

"Legacy..."

As if in response, Great God Pangu's voice drifted over, but Taiqing only heard the word Legacy clearly; the rest was impossible to make out.

"Legacy?

It seems everything must wait until the Legacy manifests before I can truly establish a firm foothold in the Great Desolation."

Matters returned to the Legacy, to the union of the Three Pure Ones, and would have to wait until Yuqing and Shangqing were born.

"No, I cannot sit and wait for death. Ten long periods of time...

Who knows what actions those two old thieves, Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, will take during these ten long periods of time.

I cannot leave the initiative in the hands of others; I must take the offensive.

I'll go to the Eastern Sea to try my luck and see if I can find the Three Immortal Islands."

Taiqing immediately made up his mind and set off for the Eastern Sea to search for the Three Immortal Islands.

He was not the type of person to hand the initiative over to others.

Heavenly Dao and Hongjun probably don't even know how they are plotting against the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Taiqing did not know that because of him, Pangu's Will had appeared, causing the Great Desolation to tremble.

All the Reincarnated Experts of Chaos Demon Gods who were cultivating anew in the Great Desolation, including Hongjun, were all rushing toward Mount Buzhou.

Having planned his itinerary in his mind, Taiqing spent some time on the peak of Mount Buzhou sensing Pangu's Will.

He used Pangu's Pressure to Cultivate his Physical Body for a while.

After offering three more sticks of incense to the pangu tablet and bowing devoutly, Taiqing finally made his way unhurriedly toward the foot of Mount Buzhou.

"It really is true; until the time is right, none of these Innate Spirit Treasures or Spiritual Roots will appear.

I thought I could rely on my foreknowledge to find a few Innate Spirit Treasures or Spiritual Roots."

On Mount Buzhou, Taiqing was in no hurry to descend and head to the Eastern Sea for the Three Immortal Islands.

Instead, he searched unhurriedly all over Mount Buzhou, wanting to see if he could encounter any Opportunity.

There were many opportunities on Mount Buzhou, such as the innate gourd vine and its seven gourds.

There was also the innate banana tree, whose four banana leaves possessed the power to stabilize the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire, all of which were Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

It even had supreme grade innate Spiritual Roots like the Innate Five Elements Pine.

Unfortunately, these Spirit Treasures and Spiritual Roots were all still gestating, and Taiqing could not sense the corresponding Opportunity.

"Boom!"

Just then, a terrifying figure swept rapidly across the sky above Taiqing.

That terrifying figure radiated the aura of the Five Elements Law; it was Ancestor Five Elements, who had rushed over from his dao arena.

"Eh? Since when has Pangu's Pressure on Mount Buzhou weakened to such an extent?

An ant of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal could actually withstand Pangu's Pressure and walk to this place?

Forget it, I should first go to the peak of Mount Buzhou to see what exactly is going on with Pangu.

Has he actually been resurrected?"

Above, Ancestor Five Elements noticed Taiqing's figure as he flew past and let out a soft exclamation of surprise. Although he was bewildered and shocked, his mind was occupied with Pangu.

He didn't pay Taiqing any mind and headed straight for the peak of Mount Buzhou.

Although Pangu's Pressure from the mountainside of Mount Buzhou upward was something even a Hunyuan Golden Immortal could not withstand.

But Ancestor Five Elements was no ordinary Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

His origin was the Five Elements Demon God, who had ranked highly among the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods in the past.

Relying on his origin as a reincarnated Chaos Demon God and his secret techniques, he could briefly withstand Pangu's Pressure.

Simply going to the peak of Mount Buzhou to investigate the situation would not take much time.

Below, Taiqing's expression was solemn.

After Ancestor Five Elements left, he immediately activated the Taiji Diagram to conceal his information.

To be safe, Taiqing also used the chaos bell to scramble all information about his location.

Then, focusing his mind, he quietly hurried down the mountain.

"Why would Ancestor Five Elements come to Mount Buzhou? Could it be because of Father God's Will?"

Taiqing didn't need to guess to know that the figure just now was Ancestor Five Elements.

With such powerful Five Elements Law, what creature born natively in the Great Desolation could reach such a level at this beginning of the world?

Since Ancestor Five Elements has come, what about the other Reincarnated Experts of Chaos Demon Gods?

Most likely, they will also come to Mount Buzhou to investigate.

To be safe, it was better for Taiqing to be cautious.

Once caught by these so-called Ancestors, he would have no power to resist.

Especially that Old Thief Hongjun and Old Man Luohu.

As expected, after Taiqing concealed his presence, several more figures soon flew past above him one after another.

A figure possessing the Law of Yin and Yang was Ancestor Yin Yang.

A figure possessing the Law of Reincarnation was Ancestor of Reincarnation.

A figure possessing the demonic dao law was Demon Ancestor Luohu.

A figure possessing the Immortal Dao Laws was Old Thief Hongjun.

"Fortunately, I masked my aura. If Old Thief Hongjun had discovered me, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to escape today."

Seeing Old Thief Hongjun, Taiqing felt lucky that he had decisively hidden his information.

If Old Thief Hongjun found him, he would likely be captured and thoroughly researched.

After all, he, Taiqing, was born many long periods of time earlier than the time originally prescribed by the Heavenly Dao.

Taiqing didn't know yet that Hongjun had already visited the gestation place of the Three Pure Ones.

Furthermore, because Hongjun had plotted for the Natal Supreme Treasures of the Three Pure Ones...

...the Power of the Heavenly Dao had collided with the Heaven-Opening Merit, resulting in the Heavenly Dao being severely injured and Hongjun likewise being shaken into a state of heavy injury.

Afterward, several more figures appeared one by one, heading toward the peak of Mount Buzhou.

Taiqing had no interest in watching; masking his aura, he quickly rushed toward the foot of Mount Buzhou.

"An altar? Who actually set up a tablet here to offer sacrifices to Pangu?"

Ancestor Five Elements was the first to reach the peak of Mount Buzhou, where Pangu's Pressure collided with his secret techniques, creating streaks of light.

The peak of Mount Buzhou was very flat, so an altar was naturally very conspicuous; Ancestor Five Elements saw it the moment he reached the top.

Ancestor Five Elements cautiously approached the sacrificial tablet Taiqing had set up.

He did not reach out to touch or investigate it, but instead carefully examined the pangu tablet.

Anything related to Pangu forced Five Elements to be cautious.

After all, back when Pangu created the Great Desolation within the Chaos.

The scene of that single axe strike cleaving a vast number of Chaos Demon Gods to death was still vivid in his mind.

There was no guarantee that Pangu hadn't left some method behind, such as suddenly appearing to give him an axe strike the moment he touched the tablet.

Wouldn't he, Five Elements, then die a very undeserved death?

"Better to wait for other Fellow Daoists to arrive before discussing it. Perhaps some unlucky fool will be stubborn enough to investigate it first?"

Ancestor Five Elements muttered to himself very slyly.

Soon, the others arrived one after another.

The group of over ten people all looked at the pangu tablet, their hearts filled with wonder; however, they all just stared at the tablet without making a move.

Each and every one of them had eight hundred schemes in mind, waiting for someone else to act first and clear the mines for them.

"Fellow Daoist Five Elements, you arrived first. Have you discovered anything?

If you have found something and are keeping the information to yourself, that would be a bit unfair to us old friends."
