29: Chapter 29 Zhunti Tempts the Golden Crow, Shi Yan Sees Yang Mei

At the Coast of the East Sea, Shi Yan, possessing the Luck of the Earth Dao and the Human Race, sat cross-legged upon the 12th-grade Purifying World White Lotus, having entered a state of Cultivation, with the jade plate of creation above his head, his body seemingly flowing with the realms of life passing away and the Universe being reborn.

This retreat of Shi Yan lasted for a full ten thousand years.

During these ten thousand years, Shi Yan successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal and continued to Cultivate, while the Primordial World was also surging with undercurrents.

After the great battle at Mount Buzhou, within the Heavenly Court, almost all the Quasi-Saints of the Yao Race were recovering from their injuries in the Lingxiao Palace, where the Spiritual Qi was most abundant; only Kunpeng was recasting his Spirit Treasure, restoring the Demon Master Palace that had been damaged.

Inside Pangu Hall, Ancestral Witch Ju Mang used the Law of Wood and the Great Dao of Vitality to heal Xuan Ming in the blood pool, while the other ten Ancestral Witches were also tempering their Physical Bodies.

The Yao Race and the Wu Race did not engage in large-scale confrontations, only small-scale frictions at the Golden Immortal level.

As for the Two Sages of the West, Zhunti roamed the East like a starving wolf, shouting "This is fated with my West" to everyone he met, converting countless mountain Essence Spirits and Loose Cultivators, which made the Three Pure Ones extremely dissatisfied, yet out of respect for the dignity of Saints, they did not directly take action.

Jieyin sat in the Western Sect, teaching the creatures that Zhunti had converted.

In the territory of the Human Race, with the Innate Spirit Treasure and Spiritual Root given by Shi Yan, three Quasi-Saints (the Three Ancestors) were born, along with dozens of Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and countless Cultivators at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level and below.

Their Luck grew richer day by day, beginning to look like the future eternal Common Sovereign of the world.

And because the Luck of the Human Race rose, Shi Yan's speed in comprehending the Law also became much faster.

...

On the Eastern lands at this time, Zhunti, who had been converting creatures for ten thousand years, suddenly felt unsatisfied with these creatures of inferior Origins.

His gaze turned towards the Heavenly Court, the power of Heavenly Dao emerging in his eyes, and through the cover of the Zhou Tian Star Formation, he looked straight at the Ten Golden Crows playing in the Heavenly Pool, saliva unconsciously dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"These ten little Golden Crows are truly... very fated with my West."

"Their Origins are powerful, and they also carry immense Luck..."

Zhunti wiped his mouth clean, then his figure flickered and disappeared from the spot, leaving only traces of Heavenly Dao Qi.

Borrowing the cover of the power of Heavenly Dao, Zhunti silently sneaked above the Heavenly Court.

At that time, the Heavenly Court was shrouded in a layer of extremely dense Spiritual Qi.

Dijun held Celestial Empress Xi He in his arms, practicing the method of Yin and Yang harmonization, while Taiyi sat in the Lingxiao Palace, the True Fire of the Golden Crows slowly circulating around his body, monitoring the Ancestral Witches below at all times.

Only by the Heavenly Pool were the Ten Golden Crows playing recklessly, radiating ten thousand zhang of golden light, steaming the water of the Heavenly Pool into white mist.

Zhunti hid himself in the interlayer of the Void Realm, looking at the Ten Golden Crows, greed rising in his eyes like a wildfire, muttering to himself: "If I convert these ten little Golden Crows and let the West obtain the immense Luck of the sun and the Yao Race's Heavenly Court that they carry, the Luck of the Western Sect will certainly increase by another layer!"

"By then, the debts of my Senior Brother and me... will be paid off a little."

A spiritual tree treasure appeared in Zhunti's hand; it was the Spirit Treasure transformed from his own main body, the seven treasures tree.

He then took a Bodhi seed from the seven treasures tree, lightly tapped the Void Realm with his fingertip, and a subtle colorless spiritual light carrying the Bodhi seed silently sank into the brow of the Ten Golden Crows.

The Bodhi seed contained the power of conversion of the West.

Because the Ten Golden Crows had noble identities and were protected by the Luck of the Yao Race and the Luck of the sun, he could only change their temperament in this way, subtly making them yearn for the West.

After doing all this, a strange smile curled up on the corner of Zhunti's mouth, and then he returned to the West.

He was not in a hurry; he just needed to wait.

In the Heavenly Pool, the Ten Golden Crows continued to play, their golden wings flapping against the sacred water of the Heavenly Pool, splashing golden rain across the sky. The Bodhi seed that had sneaked into their brows merged silently into the depths of their Primordial Spirit, without stirring up the slightest ripple, just like spring rain moistening the soil, bit by bit engraving the idea of the "West" into the instincts of the Golden Crows.

Time flowed, and another thousand years of time passed.

Inside Pangu Hall, under the nourishment of Ancestral Witch Ju Mang's Law of Wood and the blood pool, Xuan Ming's injuries had fully healed, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches gathered in the hall, their Battle Intent reaching its Peak.

The small-scale frictions between the Yao Race and the Wu Race became increasingly frequent, the number of fallen members of both races increased day by day, and the haze of war had already begun to quietly permeate the Primordial World.

And Shi Yan finally came out of his retreat, looking at the tribulation Qi of this tribulation, which had already climbed to the top.

He sighed: "The ten suns crossing the sky, is it finally coming?"

Just at this moment, the System panel in Shi Yan's Primordial Spirit reacted.

[Ding!]

[Detected that the Space Demon God Great Immortal Yang Mei has appeared in the Chaos Sea outside the Primordial World, triggering a choice.]

[Option One: Do nothing and continue to Cultivate in the Primordial World.]

[Reward: Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, 12th-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus.]

[Option Two: Go to the Chaos Sea and establish Karma with the hollow willow branch that possesses the Origin.]

[Reward: The Chaos Pearl is restored to a Top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure.]

The System's multiple-choice question appeared again.

Shi Yan looked at the choices in front of him and felt a trace of surprise.

"Great Immortal Yang Mei actually returned outside the Primordial World?"

"What is he here for?"

Could it be that he wants to take advantage of the tribulation Qi reaching its Peak to come and settle the Karma with Hongjun?

"Option Two."

Shi Yan didn't even look at the first option; anyone would know how to choose between a Chaos Spirit Treasure and an Innate Spirit Treasure.

[The Host has made a choice, the reward has been placed!]

As soon as Shi Yan finished speaking, a warm and heavy humming sound came from the depths of his Primordial Spirit.

The original Chaos Pearl suddenly burst into brilliant and dazzling Chaos rosy light, and countless mysterious and unpredictable Laws of Chaos flowed, completed, and fused around it. In an instant, it was restored to a Top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure.

Shi Yan observed the restoration of the Chaos Pearl, and his own Great Dao advanced further; the Middle Stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal, which he had broken through not long ago, faintly showed signs of breaking through to the Late Stage.

The Chaos Sea within the Chaos Pearl also possessed purer Chaos Qi, and the two immortal islands and the Spiritual Root above them also benefited greatly.

Having gained amazing benefits, a large number of Spiritual Plants became Innate Spiritual Roots, and the Five-Needle Pine, one of the ten top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures, also had a tendency to evolve into a Chaos Spiritual Root.

"Awesome!"

This is the System, this is the cheat!

After experiencing the insights of the Law, the power of Earth Dao around Shi Yan trembled slightly, teleporting him to the edge of the Primordial World, after which he walked out of the Primordial World barrier and came to the Chaos Sea.

In the Chaos Sea, the Chaos Qi surged and roared, and the Laws were violent and wanton. If an ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortal stepped into this place, they would be ground into ashes in an instant.

Shi Yan formed a space barrier around his body to isolate the Chaos Qi, while taking out the hollow willow branch containing the Origin.

He let its spatial fluctuations permeate the Chaos Sea.

Accompanied by the breath fluctuations of the hollow willow branch, a Daoist surrounded by endless Laws of Space, with the aura of a hollow willow appearing and disappearing, appeared hundreds of thousands of miles in front of Shi Yan.

This Daoist stared fixedly at Shi Yan in front of him and the willow branch in his hand.

Feeling the faint yet extremely pure aura of the Great Dao around Shi Yan, even with his state of mind at the Peak of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, he couldn't help but set off a monstrous wave.

"The Great Dao of Space?!"

A look of unbelievable shock appeared on Yang Mei's face.
