Transmigrating to a chat group: After heeding advice, I became the ruler of the primordial world.

Chapter 114 The Divine Punishment Halo Has This Kind of Tactic? Quasi-Saints from All Sides Are Going All Out!

After Nuwa left, Lu Yun looked around and found that this place was indeed an excellent place for seclusion.

In particular, since he can now use the power of the Mountain and River Map, he casually made some simple modifications to himself, especially increasing the concentration of spiritual energy.

After thinking about it, he even increased the gravity of his location to give himself external pressure and enhance the effect of his cultivation.

Only after doing all this was he satisfied.

He was about to begin his cultivation when he realized he was live-streaming.

He immediately looked at the live stream and saw that everyone was still discussing it enthusiastically, especially the numerous cultivation resources that Nuwa had left for Lu Yun.

Many of them have already started to think about getting Lu Yun to upload the resources they want to the points mall, but they are struggling because they don't have enough points at the moment.

Lu Yun: "Everyone, this live stream is almost over! Thank you all for your support in the group! Without everyone's collective wisdom and efforts, I wouldn't have achieved this much!"

Liu Chongxiao: "Lu Yun, you're too kind! We should be thanking you for broadening our horizons!"

Xiao Ling'er: "That's right! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never have seen the primordial world in my entire life!"

Jiang Ye: "If you really want to thank us, then when you upload the resources later, just set the price a little lower!"

Lu Yun: "No problem! Everyone can think about what resources they need first. After I finish this seclusion, I will try my best to meet everyone's needs and give everyone a discounted price!"

Ling Yan: "Thank you very much! Lu Yun, don't worry about us anymore, go and start your secluded cultivation as soon as possible!"

Fang Xu: "This time you can focus on completing your breakthrough before making any further plans! I just realized that the world within Lu Yun's Mountain and River Map doesn't seem to be under the jurisdiction of the Primordial Heavenly Dao. Cultivating here probably won't be affected by the Heavenly Retribution Aura!"

Chen Hai: "Holy crap, is this even possible?!"

Lin Yan: "Damn it! I was already jealous enough, but then something even more jealous happened?"

Mingxi: "I'm mentally broken!"

……

As Lu Yun watched the comments section shift back to one of envy, jealousy, and resentment from the newcomers, or self-pity, he couldn't help but scratch his head.

Lu Yun: "Thanks for the reminder, Boss Fang!"

Lei Hong: "Lu Yun, don't be too happy yet. Although you're hiding inside the Mountain and River Map and won't be punished by heaven for the time being, the aura of divine punishment won't just disappear; it's more like it's just paused!"

Fang Xu: "Is that so? Has Lei Di encountered this before?"

Lei Hong: "I haven't encountered that myself, but I've seen older group members use similar magical artifacts to evade divine punishment, thinking they could skip the beginner stage and even improve their cultivation. But the moment they emerged from that artifact, they died!"

Fang Wenjie: "Hiss!"

Xiao Ling'er: "Hiss!"

Liu Chongxiao: "Hiss!"

……

Jiang Ye: "Terrifying! So hiding doesn't guarantee escape from divine retribution?"

Zhou Yu: "The Heavenly Punishment Halo can actually be paused? Does it really have to be targeted by the Heavenly Dao for thirty days before it counts?"

Lin Yan: "What's so scary about you bunch of old folks? You should be afraid of us newbies!"

Chu Xiong: "You're right! Luckily, we've already gotten past the beginner phase!"

……

Looking at the chat in the group, Lu Yun realized that the Divine Punishment Halo actually had this kind of situation.

Therefore, if his cultivation were to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, the dangers that might arise once he leaves the Mountain and River Map would probably be even more terrifying than they are now!

However, considering that he is already being targeted by Hongjun and is regarded as a thorn in the side by many saints in the prehistoric world, it seems that he is not too afraid of this danger!

Moreover, if he encounters a difficult situation, he can simply hide in the Mountain and River Map and continue cultivating!

If necessary, it might not be impossible to stay hidden until the universe is fully formed before going out!

Thinking of this, Lu Yun's mood immediately calmed down.

He said goodbye to the others in the live stream again, and then ended the live stream.

Then, he even closed the chat group, sat down cross-legged, and officially entered a state of cultivation.

……

On the other side, on the hill where Nuwa and the Styx River were located.

Nuwa's words instantly changed the expression on Styx's face.

He tried his best to remain calm and said, "Saint Nuwa, this is the greatest sincerity I can offer!"

"Yeah?"

Nuwa simply smiled calmly, "As far as I know, you possess more than one top-grade innate spiritual treasure!"

Styx's expression suddenly changed again, and he became somewhat nervous. He even took a step back to protect Abi and Yuantu in his hands.

He said in a deep voice, "Saint Nuwa is joking. These two items are half of my spiritual treasures. How could I possibly give them away?"

Nuwa shook her head and said, "I know that your two innate spiritual treasures are the foundation of your cultivation path. However, don't you have others?"

Styx paused for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he said, "You mean, the Twelfth-Grade Karmic Fire Lotus in my possession?!"

Nuwa nodded and said, "Not bad!"

In the primordial world, there once existed a Chaos Green Lotus, also known as the Creation Green Lotus. Because its origins were too strong, it was not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao and suffered divine punishment, dismembering itself into many spiritual treasures.

At the same time, seven lotus seeds were left behind, which fell to various places in the prehistoric world and eventually evolved into seven great twelve-grade lotus platforms, all of which are supreme treasures with both offensive and defensive capabilities, ranking among the best of innate spiritual treasures.

In the hands of Styx lies a twelve-grade karmic fire red lotus.

In addition to its top-tier defense, this item can also unleash Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, using the power of endless karmic fire to incinerate everything.

This magical treasure was naturally something that the Styx Ancestor valued highly.

Upon hearing that Nuwa actually wanted him to produce it, Styx's face immediately showed anger, and he resolutely refused, saying, "That's absolutely impossible!"

Hearing this, Nuwa's expression remained unchanged, but her tone became somewhat cold as she said, "Since that's the case, then you can leave now."

Upon hearing this, Styx couldn't help but feel flustered again.

After all, he came here to buy Hongmeng Purple Qi, so why is he being eliminated now?

Seeing Nuwa turn to leave, Styx hurriedly called out, "Wait! Saint Nuwa, do I have no chance left?"

Nuwa paused slightly, then said indifferently, "Do you know what my elder brother Fuxi and Zhen Yuanzi are willing to offer in exchange for Lu Yun?"

Styx asked nervously, "What...did they take out?"

Nuwa said, "My brother has offered the only top-grade innate spiritual treasure he possesses, the Fuxi Qin, and Zhen Yuanzi is willing to offer the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd left behind by Hongyun in exchange. Tell me, what comparison is there between your offer and theirs?"

Styx's pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in shock, "That Zhen Yuanzi actually went so far as to take out the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd?!"

He had absolutely no doubt about the story that Nuwa had made up to fool him, which was about Fuxi taking out the Fuxi Qin.

Nuwa remained calm and said, "That's right! Although Hongyun was his close friend and he cherished his friend's belongings, he never forgot the grudge against Hongyun! Clearly, he didn't want you or Dijun to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi!"

Nuwa paused slightly, then looked at the Styx River and said, "After all, if you were to become saints, you would surely try to kill him too, wouldn't you?"

Styx was terrified and speechless for a moment.

Nuwa chuckled at his appearance and said, "Since you, Styx, consider a spiritual treasure more important than attaining sainthood, why stay here any longer? I'll send you out now!"

Styx suddenly snapped out of his daze and immediately shouted, "Wait!"

His eyes flickered as he weighed the pros and cons.

If he cannot obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, he naturally cannot become a saint, and that's fine.

What's even more terrifying is that if Zhen Yuanzi obtains the Primordial Purple Qi, becomes a saint, and then comes looking for revenge, he will definitely be in big trouble!

Although Styx believed that Hongyun's death had nothing to do with him and he didn't even take action, Zhen Yuanzi clearly didn't think so!

Thinking of this, Styx gritted his teeth and said, "In addition to everything I've already mentioned, I can add the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus as a bargaining chip!"

When he finished saying those words, his heart was practically bleeding.

But he had no other choice.

What frustrated him even more was that Nuwa remained calm after hearing his words, simply saying, "I understand! Lu Yun is currently cultivating. You can stay here for now. Whether you can obtain the Primordial Purple Qi ultimately depends on the other bidders and Lu Yun's choice!"

After saying that, she didn't wait for Styx to say anything, and with a movement, she disappeared directly from Styx's sight.

Styx remained standing, filled with unease, silently praying that the others wouldn't offer too high a price.

But considering how determined Di Jun and the others were to win, and that Nuwa seemed to be willing to reveal other people's offers, he really didn't have any confidence.

……

Just as Styx had guessed, Nuwa then met with Dijun and the others, as well as many other powerful figures from the prehistoric world.

They all quoted the highest price they could offer.

Especially after they were told that Fuxi had taken out the Fuxi Qin, Zhen Yuanzi had taken out the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, and Styx had taken out the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, they went even crazier.

However, not everyone has a top-grade innate spiritual treasure to exchange for!

For example, Di Jun only possesses two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, the Hetu and the Luoshu, which he would never exchange for.

Therefore, he could only compensate with other conditions, such as a large number of mid-grade and high-grade innate spiritual treasures, as well as various supernatural powers and spells of the demon race, and other treasures.

Furthermore, Di Jun once again presented the position of a demon king, solemnly stating that he would allow Lu Yun to sit on equal footing with him!

Kunpeng did not participate in the competition alone this time, because he was a well-known pauper among the Quasi-Saints, and did not even have a single top-grade innate spiritual treasure, nor many other spiritual treasures.

Most of the other powerful beings in the primordial world didn't actually have any top-grade innate spiritual treasures, so they had to make up for it with other conditions.

For example, a powerful figure proposed that, in addition to his various riches, supernatural abilities, and cultivation techniques, he could also owe Lu Yun a certain number of favors. Once he became a saint, Lu Yun could then ask him to perform those favors an unlimited number of times!

Another powerful figure said that although he did not have any top-grade innate spiritual treasures for the time being, he could steal them for Lu Yun after he became a saint, and he could even steal two of them!

Nuwa did not mock them, but calmly indicated that she understood and told them to continue waiting for news.

After Nuwa had met with everyone and arranged them in different areas within the Mountain and River Map, a day and a night had passed without her realizing it.

Nuwa returned to the place where Fuxi was and found that Fuxi was still deep in thought, obviously not yet having figured out the path to sainthood.

Nuwa was not surprised by this.

After all, it took them a long time to even glimpse the chance to become saints after obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi.

She would be surprised if Fuxi could find the opportunity to become a saint as soon as he obtained the Primordial Purple Qi.

Afterwards, Nuwa went to Lu Yun's location and observed his condition.

The leap from the Dark Star stage to the Black Hole stage is quite difficult, so Lu Yun has not yet broken through. However, his aura is fluctuating, as if he has already touched the key to the breakthrough.

Seeing this, Nuwa was naturally very pleased.

Because she created the human race, seeing a peerless genius like Lu Yun born among them filled her with pride and a sense of accomplishment!

Then, Nuwa quietly withdrew.

She suddenly remembered that she had left Laozi and the others, as well as the Twelve Ancestral Witches, outside, and was very curious about the current situation outside.

She immediately began to investigate, conjuring a phantom image out of thin air to reveal the situation outside.

Nuwa was immediately taken aback upon seeing this.

Because what she saw at first glance was a group of humans gathered under the Thunder Spirit Immortal Tree, triggering the tribulation to become immortals, and one by one they were undergoing the tribulation to become immortals!

It turned out that after Lu Yun passed down the cultivation methods of literature and martial arts, countless humans in the prehistoric world began to cultivate them frantically, especially those gathered in the Zhushan tribe.

As a result, within just two days, several exceptionally talented prehistoric humans actually touched the threshold of becoming immortals.

They had no experience in transcending tribulations to become immortals, but when they thought of Lu Yun's feat of using the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood to resolve the tribulation lightning, they couldn't help but think that perhaps they could also come here to transcend tribulations.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches naturally had no objection to their actions.

That's why we're seeing a group of humans undergoing tribulations one after another under the Thunder Spirit Immortal Tree!

It was precisely because the Thunder Spirit Immortal Tree continuously absorbed the tribulation lightning that this group of humans had an exceptionally easy time undergoing their tribulation, and they all quickly became immortals one after another!

Such a scene naturally delighted Nuwa, who murmured, "I wonder what kind of spiritual root Lu Yun planted, that it could open up such an easy way for humankind to transcend tribulations and become immortals!"

She felt that the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood was somewhat inadequate to fight against the Golden Immortal Tribulation, and not everyone was like Lu Yun, but it was perfectly capable of helping the human race overcome the tribulation to become an immortal.

This desolate mountain outside the Zhushan tribe will likely become a sacred place for the prehistoric human race to transcend tribulations in the future!
