Primordial: From a grain of soil to the ancestor of all paths

Chapter 195 Merging the Three Immortal Islands, Hongjun's Contingency Plan

West Kunlun.

Dragon Moon City.

When the Queen Mother of the West returned from the East Sea, dozens of her trusted female immortals came to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

She casually waved her sleeve and parted her lips slightly.

"good!--"

"You may all leave now!"

Among the female immortals under his command and the Lu Wu clan, there are two powerful beings at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, twenty-six Great Luo Dao Masters, and as many as a hundred Taiyi experts.

Such strength would be considered a top-tier force even in the primordial world!
They originally thought that the Queen Mother of the West was doomed this time, but they did not expect that the Queen Mother had such a close relationship with the senior Taichu that he personally appeared to protect her.

Some of the female immortals who had initially considered fleeing abandoned their thoughts and became increasingly at peace.

With Senior Taichu as her powerful backer, Your Highness has nothing to fear from other forces as long as you don't cause trouble in the future.

“Swish!——”

Stepping into the sacred realm of Yaochi where she had taken her own form, and feeling the aura of harmony with the Great Dao, the Queen Mother of the West did not go into seclusion to heal her injuries, but went straight to the Yellow Plum tree by the Yaochi.

"Huang Zhongli, do you still remember the Primordial Daoist, the ancestor of all lands?"

The Queen Mother of the West forcibly awakened the spirit of Huang Zhongli and continuously poured the divine water of Yaochi onto the tree roots.

"Susu-"

Upon hearing her words, the previously calm Huangzhongli tree immediately trembled, its branches emitting wisps of pure Daoist charm and a unique fragrance of the Great Dao.

Sensing its somewhat agitated emotions, the Queen Mother of the West spoke again.

"I know that you have longed for Fellow Daoist Taichu for thousands of years. Now I have decided to give you to Fellow Daoist Taichu. Are you willing?"

“Puff puff puff!——”

The Yellow Plum trembled violently, and its nine newly formed pink flower buds condensed into wisps of special Daoist charm, as if they were impatient to wait.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother of the West was speechless.

She painstakingly cared for Huang Zhongli for countless years, but it always remembered the beginning.

It's too heartless to be so eager to change owners after just making this suggestion.
But soon——

The Queen Mother of the West realized that it only possessed spiritual awareness and did not have true intelligence. Moreover, only by following Tai Chu would it have the opportunity to truly develop intelligence and embark on the path of cultivation in the future. Her heart was completely at ease.

"good!--"

"Since you agree, then I will send you to Tianyuan Mountain!"

After saying that—

The Queen Mother of the West waved her hand lightly.

The mountain range where Huang Zhongli is located is included.

…………

a few days later.

She arrived at Tianyuan Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Taichu, this humble Daoist is the Queen Mother of the West who has come to pay her respects!"

Just as she finished transmitting her voice, a Daoist energy array gate appeared, from which wisps of pure chaotic spiritual energy surged forth, giving everyone a jolt of energy.

"Senior Queen Mother of the West, the master is waiting in the main hall, please!"

A green-haired, youthful-looking boy with delicate features emerged from the array gate; he was none other than Dao Yuan, transformed from the first innate ginseng in the primordial world.

"good!--"

"Thank you very much, young friend!"

The Queen Mother of the West smiled and nodded, then presented him with a golden plum.

She knew in her heart—

In the past, when I visited in person, it was always Fellow Daoist Taichu who came to greet me personally. Now, however, he sent his attendant Daoyuan. Clearly, my previous act of taking advantage of others' power had already displeased them.

"Many thanks, Senior Queen Mother of the West!"

Daoyuan accepted the yellow plum and bowed respectfully.

It is given by the elders and cannot be turned away.

The master will decide on the gift after we meet him.

Stepping into the magnificent and imposing central hall, the Queen Mother of the West saw Tai Chu and Tian Yan sitting opposite each other, the brother and sister making moves on a chessboard.

In the beginning, the universe held black; the heavens evolved and held white.

Neither side exuded any particular aura, yet an endless killing intent emanated from the chessboard.

There were swords and horses, and two armies clashing.

Slowly——

The black and white chess pieces on the board evolved into the principles of Yin and Yang, merging with each other to form a unique Tai Chi pattern, which completely calmed the mind of the Queen Mother of the West who was watching the game.

"Snapped!--"

When Yan Touzi conceded defeat on that day, all the strange phenomena of the Great Dao vanished.

The Queen Mother of the West also awoke from her reverie and discovered that her cultivation had actually improved significantly, which greatly shocked her.

Having only watched half a game of chess, he actually gained hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation. Just how terrifying must the strength of fellow Daoists Tai Chu and Tian Yan have reached now?

"Thank you, fellow Taoists!——"

Coming to her senses, the Queen Mother of the West solemnly bowed to Taichu and Tianyan.

"Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, there's no need for such formalities!"

Tai Chu waved his hand casually and invited her to sit down.

Various spiritual fruits and rare delicacies, as well as fine wines and elixirs, were laid out on the jade table. After filling the spirit crystal jade cup, Dao Yuan bowed and stepped aside.

The Queen Mother of the West expressed her gratitude to Taichu once again, then exchanged pleasantries about their friendship spanning tens of millions of years before finally explaining her purpose.

"Whoosh!—" She waved her right hand lightly.

A massive mountain range appeared outside the main hall, with a golden plum tree facing the Primordial Beginning.

“Puff puff puff!——”

Sensing the aura of the Primordial Beginning, Huang Zhongli violently shook its branches, condensing an incomparable source of spiritual consciousness that floated in front of him.

"This spiritual root has been thinking of you dearly, and we even formed a bond before our first meeting. I cannot bear to see it hopeless in its transformation, so I beg you to give it a chance to live!"

The Queen Mother of the West spoke very eloquently. She did not use this spiritual root to repay the kindness of the Primordial Beginning, but instead stood on the path of Huang Zhongli and asked him for help.

"good!--"

"Since you put it that way, fellow Daoist, then this humble Daoist shall accept it without hesitation!"

Tai Chu understood the meaning behind Xi Wangmu's words, and he accepted the top-grade innate spiritual root without hesitation.

A single Huangzhong plum can nurture a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Such a top-tier spiritual fruit is incredibly precious to other beings, but it has virtually no effect on Taichu.

The reasons for accepting this top-grade spiritual root are threefold: first, to win the favor of the Queen Mother of Anxi; second, to use this top-grade spiritual fruit to brew wine or refine pills; and third, to see if it can be grafted to cultivate more low-grade 'Huangzhong Plum'.

These low-grade plum trees can be given to the Wu tribe to help them replenish their physical strength and blood, thus avoiding the need to kill living beings for nourishment.

After exchanging pleasantries once more, the Queen Mother of the West took the initiative to say goodbye.

“Swish!——”

Tai Chu took out a jar of "Wind and Thunder Immortal Apricot Wine" and presented it to the Queen Mother of the West as a return gift.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!——"

Seeing that his attitude towards her remained unchanged, the Queen Mother of the West finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities!"

Tai Chu waved his hand dismissively and watched her leave.

Next-

He brought the Huangzhong plum tree to the Spirit Root Garden atop the mountain, created a separate mountain for it, and covered its roots with a thick layer of Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

"Gudong Gudong——"

The Three Lights Divine Water poured down continuously, and Huang Zhongli greedily absorbed these nutrients.

"Wow—"

"Wow—"

Nine flower buds on the tree bloomed simultaneously, their pink petals like lotus stamens, bursting forth with strands of incomparably pure Dao essence.

After taking a breath, Tai Chu felt refreshed and invigorated.

"I haven't treated you unfairly either!"

With a flick of his finger, a stream of 'primordial essence' merged into the root of Huang Zhongli.

“Puff puff puff—”

The branches of the Huangzhongli tree trembled violently once again, and a powerful life force emanated from it.

Back when Tai Chu was only at the Xuanxian realm, Huang Zhongli coveted the 'Yuanxi Essence' condensed from his innate divine power.

Now that he has broken through to the eighteenth level of the Great Luo Heaven, the efficacy of this 'Primordial Essence' has increased many times over.

Whether you can embark on the path of cultivation depends on your own destiny!

Tai Chu glanced at Huang Zhongli, then went to the Spirit Root Garden where the Immortal Apricot was located.

"Susu-"

Sensing his presence, all the spiritual roots trembled and stretched out their branches in a respectful bow.

"good!--"

Tai Chu nodded slightly, expressing his appreciation for Dao Yuan's management of the Spirit Root Garden.

What made him somewhat relieved was—

The 'Innate Banana Tree', which had previously lost its vitality, has begun to recover after its own efforts to restore its life force and has even produced thirty-six bunches of bananas.

Each bunch of bananas has twelve branches, shaped like a crescent moon, and exudes a rich, innate Daoist fragrance.

"The innate banana tree will ripen in another Yuanhui. I wonder what it will taste like?"

After the Primordial One poured some of the Three Lights Divine Water, he began to look forward to it.

Back to the main hall—

He looked at Tianyan, who was preparing to go into seclusion.

"Tianyan, now that the Celestial Court has been destroyed, our next step should be to merge the three Celestial Islands and reverse their Chaos Origin Crystal. I wonder what kind of opportunities we will gain then?"

In the beginning, there was a vague premonition.

If the three immortal islands could be reversed into Chaos Origin Crystals, an unimaginable great opportunity would surely be obtained. Could the legendary Chaos Treasure, the World-Destroying Millstone, be among them?

"Brother——"

"I always feel that there are still traces of Hongjun's mark on this Treasure Sharing Rock. If we merge it with the three immortal islands, will it attract the attention of the Sage Hongjun?"

Over the years—

The reason they did not immediately merge the three immortal islands after obtaining the Treasure Sharing Rock was not only because they were worried that the Eastern King Duke's Immortal Court would cause trouble, but also because they were afraid that Hongjun would take action to seize it.

After all, Hongjun had refined this Treasure Dividing Rock. If he knew that the Treasure Dividing Rock was the key to merging the three immortal islands, he would not only regret losing this era, but he would also very likely take action regardless of his status.

"To be on the safe side, let's go to Buzhou Mountain and have Qinglian use Pangu's will to check whether there are any hidden tricks left by Hongjun on this Treasure Dividing Rock!"

Upon hearing Tianyan's words, he dared not be careless in the slightest and suggested going to Buzhou Mountain to find Qinglian.

"good!--"

Tianyan nodded slightly, then returned to Yandao Palace and put the Treasure Sharing Rock into his sleeve.

"Daoyuan, your sister Tianyan and I are about to go out, so we will leave Tianyuan Mountain in your care!"

"I will obey the master's order!——"

After activating the protective array of the Daoist temple and arranging everything, Tai Chu led Tian Yan towards Buzhou Mountain.
