Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 52 World Advancement, The Great Thousand Worlds

On her way back to Wanshou Mountain, Hongyun received a reward from the system, which was supposed to be a certain amount, but in reality, she only received three branches of the Fusang tree.

Hongyun planted all three hibiscus branches on the sun star in the Qiankun World.

The Fusang tree is a tree of supreme Yang energy, and the Sun Star is the most suitable place for it to grow. However, Hongyun's Qiankun World is still too small, and the Sun Star is barely adequate.

However, this is not a real hibiscus tree, but just three branches. For now, the growing environment is not bad.

In the entire universe, the best-growing tree today is undoubtedly the Jianmu, also known as the World Tree.

The tree grew ever more magnificent, and became connected to the very origin of the world.

The growth of the world is like the growth of the Jianmu tree. It's likely that before long, this Jianmu tree will grow to be as large as the entire world.

Just like Mount Buzhou, which stands tall and upright, the Jianmu tree, once it grows up, can cover the entire universe.

By then, Jianmu will have become the true World Tree.

Back to Longevity Hill.

Zhen Yuanzi hasn't returned yet; he's probably gone to the East Sea. Hongyun didn't bother with him and went back into seclusion to cultivate.

And so, time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, countless hours had passed.

On this day, Hongyun was cultivating when suddenly, he heard a system notification.

"Ding, we have detected that the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan are about to engage in a second war. Please make the following selection."

"Option 1: Help the Witch Clan fight against the Demon Clan, and you will receive a drop of Pangu's essence blood as a reward."

"Option Two: Help the Demon Clan and fight against the Witch Clan to receive a drop of Chaos Golden Crow Essence Blood as a reward."

"Option 3: Remain neutral and continue your seclusion; you will receive a World Origin as a reward."

Upon hearing the system's notification, Hongyun immediately opened her eyes, a look of surprise and delight in them.

The origin of the world.

This time, the reward is actually the origin of the world.

After so many years of development, the Qiankun World has long since stabilized and become a Middle Thousand World with three thousand Lesser Thousand Worlds.

These three thousand lesser worlds are its foundation, which can assist the universe and make it more stable.

Especially behind the red cloud, twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls and other innate spiritual treasures that were no longer needed were incorporated.

Such a vast source directly laid a solid foundation for the Qiankun World.

Of course, the most important thing is the Jianmu tree. It is because of this chaotic spiritual root that the Qiankun World was able to fuse into so many innate spiritual treasures in such a short time, thus strengthening its origin.

Furthermore, the Jianmu tree also contains the Dao of the world, which, when added to the Qiankun World, allowed the Qiankun World to grow to its current state in a short period of time.

"The Qiankun World has now reached the limit of the Middle Thousand Worlds. Even if it grows further, it will only be accumulating foundations. It is just lacking the opportunity to advance. And now, this world origin is the opportunity for its advancement."

Hongyun chose the third option without hesitation. She would remain neutral and continue her seclusion.

He couldn't control how the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan fought, since he didn't have the ability to do so, and he had already fulfilled his obligations.

We can't risk our lives just because of a ruler.

We may be close, but if you don't listen to what I say, there's nothing I can do. Hongyun remained perfectly calm.

As Hongyun made her choice, the system's rewards were then distributed.

With a thought, Hongyun saw a mysterious and unfathomable source appear before him.

This is the origin of the world. At first glance, this origin of the world appears to be a stream of energy, neither clear nor turbid, containing extremely terrifying energy.

It can be said that this source of the world, in terms of energy alone, is no less than the Primordial Purple Qi bestowed by Hongjun.

As Hongyun gazed at the origin of this world, a thought flashed through his mind.

His current cultivation level is mainly divided into two parts. One part is the attainment of the Dao by severing the three corpses. He has already severed the good and evil corpses, which is the mid-stage of the Quasi-Saint realm.

Another part is related to the Qiankun World, specifically the cultivation level required to attain the Dao of the world. When the Qiankun World was first created, as a minor world, it corresponded to the cultivation level of severing one corpse, which is the early stage of Quasi-Saint.

Now, as a member of the Middle Thousand Worlds, that level is the cultivation of severing two corpses, the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

However, now that Hongyun has obtained another World Origin, it is very likely that the Qiankun World will advance once again with the help of this World Origin.

From the Middle Thousand Worlds, it ascends to the Great Thousand Worlds.

At that time, Hongyun's two methods of attaining enlightenment will actually lead the way for world enlightenment, which was originally not favored.

It is even quite possible that Hongyun has achieved enlightenment through the world, but has not yet succeeded in achieving enlightenment by severing the three corpses.

This is very likely.

Now, Hongyun has also discovered that if proving the Dao by severing the three corpses is still a conventional breakthrough relying on Dao enlightenment, then proving the Dao by the world is largely just the accumulation of energy, where quantitative change leads to qualitative change, causing the world to advance, and then driving the breakthrough of cultivation.

It is precisely because of this that Hongyun was able to cultivate both methods of enlightenment simultaneously without conflict.

However, Hongyun's ability to do this largely depended on the Jianmu wood he had acquired. This allowed his world to quickly absorb energy and develop steadily and rapidly.

If it were Zhen Yuanzi, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible.

Therefore, Hongyun can use this world's origin to break through and advance, but she cannot take Zhen Yuanzi with her.

For now, Zhen Yuanzi can only continue on the path of severing the three corpses to prove his Dao.

"In the primordial world, there is a legend of a Jianmu tree, but its whereabouts are unknown. If we can find it, then Brother Zhenyuan can also break through by accumulating world energy, just like me." Hongyun sighed.

After looking at the origin of the world again, Hongyun had a thought and immediately absorbed this origin of the world into the Qiankun World.

Hongyun controlled this world's origin and sank directly into the depths of the earth, where countless roots of the Jianmu tree resided.

These roots seemed to sense the origin of the world, and immediately began to frantically penetrate towards it.

Each root continuously penetrates into the origin of the world.

Then, it greedily absorbed the enormous energy contained in the origin of the world, and in an instant, the entire Jianmu tree was growing rapidly.

It gets bigger and bigger.

It grows taller and taller.

At the same time, the Jianmu tree itself is one with the Qiankun world. As the Jianmu tree grows, the entire Qiankun world is also expanding.

The world is becoming increasingly vast and solid.

"Buzzing!!!"

As the world continues to grow, Hongyun has also sensed and deduced a great deal of information.

Once the entire world's origin is absorbed, the advancement of the Qiankun World will most likely be no problem.

Moreover, in addition to this, when the Qiankun World is upgraded to the Great Thousand World, there will be some extraordinary changes.
