I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

Time is like fine sand.

Ten thousand years have passed.

Within the vast Eastern Eight Desolations Realm, the Primordial System has already been established.

Following the example of Jieyin and Zhunti, the Seven Desolations, including Styx, Zhenyuanzi, Randeng, and Sun Wukong, issued indentures, which mobilized their enthusiasm and caused production capacity to surge.

Over the course of ten thousand years, the eight wastelands have produced a total of 19.6 million Xuan Frost Jade Marrows and over one million catties of Primordial Ink Crystals.

In addition, they plundered the Eastern Supreme Saint's stock.

At this moment, Li Yu already had more than 20 million catties of Frost Jade Marrow and more than 2 million catties of Primordial Ink Crystal.

Ten thousand years is but a blink of an eye for a cultivator.

Although they don't spend much time away from home, the primordial world is the root of all cultivators!

Having made a fortune overnight, people naturally want to bring their assets back home.

However, since the Eastern Extremes and Eight Desolations have just been established, cultivators are needed to guard them.

Jieyin and Zhunti went directly to Li Yu and said, "Your Majesty, we will not be returning to the prehistoric world for the time being."

Returning to the primordial wilderness, returning to the West, isn't it still barren?

Here! Jieyin and Zhunti have found their greatest value!

The tattered Guiding Banner and the Seven Treasures Tree in his hands were only half a step away from reaching the level of a Primordial Treasure!

Staying and making money is the only way to go!

Actually! Jieyin and Zhunti are quite shrewd too, their wealth in the Eastern Regions is enough to flow into the Jie Sect!

I heard that a sage has escaped. If the other side sends reinforcements back, and Li Yu can't defeat them, then he's doomed.

and so!

Jieyin and Zhunti need to work overtime to gather resources!

No other reason than I was terrified of being poor!

Our ancestors were terrified of poverty for generations!

The West has never been rich!

The West chose to stay.

Taiqing and Yuqing plan to return to the Primordial World on a giant ship, intending to open their mountain gates wide, recruit manpower, and send them to mine!

Duobao chose to stay, saying, "Nothing's wrong, don't worry."

"No cultivator in the world has ever been able to trap Master Dao."

"I'll stay here to keep watch; nothing will go wrong!"

……

When they arrived, there were billions of cultivators from the primordial era!

When they returned, there were only five billion cultivators.

And tons of resources!

This day!

The colossal warship, the Primordial Era, pierces through the starry sky and embarks on its journey home!

On the ship, the smiles on the faces of all the cultivators were impossible to suppress!

"Now, it can be considered a triumphant return home!"

Li Ping'an was merely the sect leader of a third-rate immortal sect in the primordial world, and was at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

I heard that the First Emperor issued an edict to launch a distant expedition to the far east and the eight wastelands.

Li Pingan signed up without any hesitation.

Thank goodness! My application was approved!

Li Ping'an was able to follow the First Emperor in his conquest of the Eastern Extremes and the Great Realm!

A battle raged across the eight wastelands of the Eastern Pole!

Li Ping'an, relying on his profound magical power and superb fighting skills, captured hundreds of mining slaves at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Subsequently, Li Ping'an was assigned to a small mine in the vast mountains of the Eastern Wilderness!

He commands three hundred Taiyi Golden Immortal realm mining slaves to mine!

Mining slaves in the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm can extract one or two resources in a hundred years.

Even in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, it takes a thousand years to barely extract one or two ounces.

then!

Three hundred miners dug for ten thousand years and unearthed three hundred catties of Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow and thirty catties of Primordial Ink Crystal!

Excluding the 80% that was handed over to the central government.

Li Ping'an still has 60 jin of Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow and 6 jin of Primordial Ink Crystal left!

Li Ping'an possesses a celestial sword, passed down from his ancestors, which is a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure!

Don't underestimate the value of acquired spiritual treasures!

Beneath the spiritual treasure lies the magic weapon!

Given the title of "spiritual treasure," its power is already quite remarkable!

Li Ping'an then took out ten catties of Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow and one catty of Primordial Ink Crystal, and asked a fellow Daoist who knew how to refine weapons to reforge the immortal sword!

However, everything was beyond Li Ping'an's expectations!

His acquired mid-grade spiritual treasure had actually jumped to the level of an acquired top-grade spiritual treasure?

The power increased by more than ten or a hundred times.

This surprised and delighted Li Ping'an!

"What a wonderful and mysterious mine!"

Li Ping'an then wanted to add fuel to the fire, "Please, fellow Daoist, refine and melt the rest, and see if we can upgrade its grade to a Primordial Spiritual Treasure."

"It's a bit mysterious. I heard that at least 500 catties of Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow and 50 catties of Primordial Ink Crystal are needed to upgrade a spiritual treasure to the level of a Primordial Spiritual Treasure."

Five hundred catties is no small amount.

It would take a Great Luo Golden Immortal five hundred thousand years of tireless digging to achieve this!

Li Pingan laughed upon hearing this, "Five hundred jin? That's not much!"

In ten thousand years, Li Ping'an harvested sixty catties of Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow and six catties of Primordial Ink Crystal.

If three hundred miners work for another hundred thousand years, they can possess a primordial spiritual treasure!

The Sword of Primordial Incarnation!

So delicious!

"Work hard! Two hundred thousand years from now, I want to possess a second innate spiritual treasure!"

With a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure in hand, Li Ping'an could already imagine that when he returned to his sect, he would shatter the Dao hearts of those old fogies!

of course!

Li Ping'an is only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, so his progress is slow!

I heard that a fellow Daoist at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm was incredibly brave during the battle, charging forward while shouting "Loyalty to the First Emperor!"

He single-handedly captured eight hundred mining slaves at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

"Holy crap! So over these ten thousand years, wouldn't he have harvested at least 1600 jin of Xuan Shuang Jade Marrow and 160 jin of Primordial Ink Crystal?"

"Who says it isn't?"

"If he used the motivational work methods of the great sages Jieyin and Zhunti, there would only be more!"

"Holy crap! In just ten thousand years, he managed to acquire three innate spiritual treasures! Has that fellow Daoist struck it rich?"

"What is your name, fellow Daoist?"

"I don't know, I heard he's a disciple of Fellow Daoist Liu Hong."

"Holy crap! He's actually Fellow Daoist Liu Hong's disciple. No wonder he's..."

"On the other hand, I used to think that Jieyin and Zhunti were extremely shameless and had no shame whatsoever."

"In retrospect, I was so wrong."

"Yes, yes, who wouldn't want to be like Jieyin or Zhunti?"

"The great Amitabha and Cundi are simply geniuses! To think they could come up with such an inspiring method!"

"Understand the Two Western Saints, become like the Two Western Saints, and transcend the Two Western Saints!"

……

Two thousand five hundred years later.

The Primordial Ship broke through the sky and arrived above the Primordial Nine Heavens!

Yangmei, Shichen, Yin'ao, Luohou, and Hongjun gritted their teeth in anger, "That damned Li Yu, he's finally back!"

"Damn it! Why didn't they die outside?"

The five demon gods once tried to track Li Yu.

However, Li Yu was already on guard and deliberately took several detours to shake off the five demon gods.

The colossal warship, the Primordial Era.

It stands horizontally above the nine heavens!

Among the assembled powerful figures, not a single cultivator dared to act rashly; all eyes were fixed on the highest point.

Li Yu and Empress Yunxiao stood side by side, hand in hand, at the highest point, as if the emperor was descending upon the primordial world!

Li Yu smiled calmly, "Let's go back."

"yes!"

The cultivators spoke in unison, creating a powerful and imposing atmosphere.

then!

Countless streams of light scattered into the primordial world!

Then they saw a cultivator suddenly hug the ground and kiss it.

Some of the monks had tears in their eyes.

"What? You ask why my eyes are often filled with tears? Because I love this world so deeply!"

"My long-lost hometown!"

One of the cultivators who signed up but wasn't selected sneered, "Is it really necessary? You've only been gone for a little over 15,000 years, it's like you haven't been home for 800,000 years, is it really necessary?"

"You don't understand! Being away from home feels like returning to the primordial world!"

"Especially the feeling of returning home in glory, of returning home in wealth and honor."

"The eight wastelands of the Eastern Pole are truly incredibly wealthy!"

The cold-eyed cultivator continued to sneer, "Keep making things up. I don't believe a trashy world can be richer than the primordial wilderness."

"You don't understand! That place is full of spiritual essence! Everywhere you look, there are innate spiritual treasures and elixirs!"

"Heh! Do you think I believe that?"

"The Primordial Era is the coolest!" declared the Primordial Era supremacist.

"Don't believe me if you want."

The indifferent cultivator said, "On the other hand, unless I see it with my own eyes, it's all fake, nothing but fake!"

"Hey, you're showing your true colors now, aren't you? Just say you want to go."
