If I let you lie low and remain the Dragon King, would you have unified the primordial world?

Chapter 149 Breakthrough: Early Stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal!

Ao Bai had previously been in contact with Emperor Ziwei, and later took in Fairy Wangshu and some of the Star Gods.

In this sense, although he did not directly participate in the great battle, he indirectly interfered with it all, so it is not surprising that he received a reward.

After Ao Bai figured it out, he happily checked the rewards.

[Reborn in the primordial world for 296,319 years, the Demon Emperor Jun personally led the elite demon race in a surprise attack on the Nine Heavens Star River, successfully killing countless star gods and destroying the power of the Ziwei Star lineage. However, he was ultimately defeated by the Twelve Ancestral Witches. You indirectly participated in this and helped Fairy Wangshu survive. The rewards are as follows:]

[Basic Reward: Cultivation level increased by 48,000 years!]

[Special Reward: One random high-grade innate spiritual root.]

Ao Bai was overjoyed when he saw the reward details.

This time, the reward for cultivation was a full 48,000 years, which was the largest reward he had ever received.

"Forty-eight thousand years is enough for me to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!"

Ao Bai was very satisfied with the rewards. After all, he hadn't put in much effort, so how could he not be happy to receive so many rewards?

"I'll absorb the cultivation first and try to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm."

Ao Bai entered the inner world of the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl. Now, whenever he absorbs cultivation, he enters the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl.

That place can isolate the Heavenly Dao from detection, which will greatly help Ao Bai's improvement and breakthrough.

In particular, that entire world is under Ao Bai's control, and everything there will assist him in improving and growing.

With the help of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, Ao Bai's advancement will be very smooth.

Inside the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, the small world here has been completely stabilized, and the isolation of the entire world from the Primordial Heavenly Dao has become even more thorough.

Here, the space between heaven and earth is larger, and the various laws are becoming more and more perfect.

"The function of my world should be similar to that of the Pangu Temple, which can isolate it from external detection and prevent it from being affected by the primordial Heavenly Dao. This is a place that truly belongs to me."

Ao Bai cultivated the "Ren Shui Immortal Scripture" inside the Dinghai Divine Pearl. His magical power became more and more profound, and streams of clear light rippled, making him appear dignified and majestic.

He absorbed the boundless cultivation power, and the surging magical energy made Ao Bai feel extremely comfortable. Here, he was not suppressed and could break through to his heart's content.

"boom!"

Having absorbed all his cultivation, Ao Bai successfully advanced to the early stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

After years of arduous cultivation, Ao Bai finally entered the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

"Finally, a breakthrough!"

Ao Bai was overjoyed. Since the inner world of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl had taken shape, his breakthrough had become much easier.

In addition, his own luck has been constantly improving, which has brought Ao Bai to his current excellent situation.

After breaking through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, Ao Bai had more confidence to catch up with the Three Pure Ones and others.

With the help of a cheat code, becoming a Great Immortal was no problem for him at all.

A breakthrough that happens only once every tens of thousands of years is already quite remarkable.

It should be noted that even Taiqing, who had been in human form for about 200,000 years, had only broken through from the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal to the middle stage.

The difficulty of cultivation increases as you progress, especially after reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and beginning to comprehend the existence of laws. If one's aptitude is insufficient, one will be unable to understand what laws are, let alone make progress in cultivation.

This successful breakthrough by Ao Bai not only greatly increased his strength, but also significantly boosted his personal fortune.

The increased fortune made Ao Bai's fortune lotus even more prosperous. He could sense the changes in his own fortune, which was a very mysterious feeling.

"As my own strength increases, my luck also increases; this is a mutually reinforcing cause and effect."

Ao Bai was overjoyed. He did not leave the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, but continued to hone his cultivation and stabilize his strength here.

This time, the top-grade innate spiritual root rewarded by the golden finger is called the Five Elements Fire Spirit Mushroom, which is exactly the same as the Five Elements Water Spirit Mushroom and Five Elements Wood Spirit Mushroom that Ao Bai obtained before.

However, the Five Elements Fire Lingzhi is a superior grade, which is of a higher level.

It also amplifies spiritual energy and helps with cultivation.

"If we could collect all five types of Ganoderma lucidum and plant them inside the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, it would be of great help to the Lesser Thousand Worlds."

Ao Bai has already obtained three Five Elements Spirit Mushrooms, all of which have the same effect, so Ao Bai is very much looking forward to these spiritual roots.

Once they are all collected, their usefulness will definitely be even greater.

Everything in the Lesser Thousand Worlds is now complete, except for spiritual energy, which is precisely when the Five Elements Spiritual Roots come into play.

Ao Bai secluded himself in the Lesser Thousand Worlds, while Fairy Wang Shu on the Immortal Island of Yuanzhou looked worried and troubled.

She witnessed the great battle in the Nine Heavens Galaxy clearly. In the end, Emperor Ziwei was successfully rescued by the Witch Clan and even followed the Ancestral Witches to Mount Buzhou.

This could be considered the best possible outcome, but Fairy Wangshu was still very worried.

Emperor Ziwei clearly intends to join the Witch Clan, which puts Fairy Wangshu in an awkward position. Should she stay on Yuanzhou Immortal Island or follow Emperor Ziwei to join the Witch Clan?

In Wangshu Fairy's subconscious, she was unwilling to go to the Witch Clan.

Once you join the Witch Clan, it's equivalent to completely joining the Lich Tribulation!

The terror of a great calamity is something no one dares to take lightly.

The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans were once incredibly powerful, yet they were still wiped out by the Great Calamity and have now fallen to third-rate status.

Fairy Wangshu had a vague feeling that the witch and demon races might follow in the footsteps of the three races.

That is why she was unwilling to join the demon race with Fairy Xihe in the past, and now she is even more unwilling to join the witch race with Emperor Ziwei.

But what if the Emperor Ziwei came to persuade her in person?

Just as Fairy Wangshu was feeling sorrowful, the Star Lord Chang Geng entered.

"Fellow Daoist Wangshu, the Ziwei Emperor has already entered Buzhou Mountain, and I'm afraid he can't return to the Nine Heavens Star River. What should we do now?"

Chang Geng Xingjun is a powerful figure from the Nine Heavens Star River lineage. His strength should not be underestimated, and he may break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm at any time.

This time, he came with the same worries as Fairy Wangshu.

The Great Calamity is terrifying; who would willingly join in it?

Fairy Wangshu shook her head and said:

"I understand what everyone is thinking. If anyone wants to go to Buzhou Mountain, stay on Yuanzhou Immortal Island, or join the demon race, I won't stop them."

The words of Fairy Wangshu left Lord Chang Geng feeling helpless; he had long anticipated that she would give this reply.

"What are your plans, fellow Daoist?"

Chang Geng Xingjun, oblivious to the situation, continued to press for answers.

The Witch Clan—that's where the Purple Star Emperor resides. Logically speaking, they should also submit to him.

However, the Witch and Demon races are irreconcilable enemies, and neither is willing to easily join the Witch race.

As for the demon race, they occupy the Nine Heavens Star River. Joining the demon race allows one to continue cultivating as before, and may even bring more benefits.

But the same problem remains: he will be caught in a great calamity and will stand on the opposite side of the Ziwei Emperor.

As for Yuanzhou Immortal Island, it is the most stable choice. It avoids the Great Tribulation and confrontation, allowing one to cultivate in peace.

"I... I'll stay on Yuanzhou Immortal Island."

"That's what Fairy Wangshu said sincerely."

She didn't want to engage in intrigue and power struggles; she just wanted to cultivate peacefully.

Ever since Fairy Xihe secretly began associating with the demon race, Fairy Wangshu had been completely heartbroken.

"Thank you for telling me, fellow Daoist. I understand."

Chang Geng Xingjun rose to take his leave, for he too faced his own choices and needed to go back and think them through.

Fairy Wangshu sighed and shook her head. She was living a good life in the Nine Heavens Star River, but now her home has suddenly become like this, which makes her feel extremely emotional.

"Without power, even if you don't provoke others, you will be passively drawn into conflicts. Only when you are strong enough will others not dare to provoke you."

Fairy Wangshu clenched her slender hand, eager to rise quickly and improve her strength as much as possible.

Only by possessing great strength can she avoid being bullied.

On the other side of Buzhou Mountain, the Ziwei Emperor and the Ancestral Witches were having a pleasant conversation, laughing incessantly.

"Although we failed to eliminate Di Jun this time, the demon race suffered heavy losses, and they won't dare to cause trouble again for a while!"

Dijiang Zuwu said happily, "This time they almost destroyed the Demon Emperor Jun and killed hundreds of millions of demon soldiers. It was indeed a great victory."

The only regret is that they were unable to drive the demon race out of the Heavenly Court.

"I must thank you all for your help. If it weren't for your assistance, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the demon race."

The Ziwei Emperor expressed her sincere gratitude. She had not originally planned to join the Witch Clan, but when she faced death, no one in the vast prehistoric world stood up to help her. It was the Twelve Ancestral Witches who stepped forward and saved her.

In the eyes of the Ziwei Emperor, she should have been dead already, and that she was only able to survive by sheer luck was all thanks to the Wu Clan.

Therefore, even if it meant entering the midst of a great calamity, she had no regrets and chose to stand on the side of the Witch Clan.

After all, without the Witch Clan, she wouldn't have been able to escape the Demon Clan's slaughter, let alone take revenge.

"Fellow Daoist Ziwei is too kind. In the future, let's join forces to destroy the demon race. At that time, you can continue to govern the Nine Heavens Star River."

Emperor Jiang's words rekindled hope in Emperor Ziwei's heart.

The strength displayed by the Witch Clan in today's battle was immense. Even with the Four Emperors standing side by side, the Demon Emperor Jun was no match for the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Against the Wu tribe, they can only be beaten!

If it weren't for the Heavenly Court's assistance, the Witch Clan could have completely wiped out the Demon Clan by now.

It was for this reason that Emperor Ziwei saw hope in destroying the demon race. Now that she had joined, wouldn't the witch race be even stronger and have a better chance of unifying the prehistoric world?

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Dijiang. I have gathered the scattered Star Gods back, and they will join everyone in annihilating the demon race in the future."

The Purple Star Emperor has many subordinates and a certain network of connections. With her joining the Witch Clan, the Witch Clan's combat strength will increase significantly.

Furthermore, this is also the Wu Clan demonstrating their attitude to all races in the prehistoric world. If they can cooperate with the Ziwei Emperor, then they can also accept other races.

The Ancestral Witches did this to win over some allies and fight against the Demon Race together.

The demon race is already quite powerful, and with the help of the Heavenly Court, they will be able to establish a firm foothold.

Now that the Nine Heavens Galaxy has fallen into the hands of the demon race, the witch race must find a way to quickly annihilate the demon race.

Unable to improve their own strength in a short period of time, the Ancestral Witches thought of uniting all races to wipe out the demon race.

Among the myriad races of the primordial world, many groups want a share of the spoils. Once they join the Wu Clan in unifying the primordial world, they will have a part in the future.

The Great Tribulation is terrifying, but it also contains endless opportunities, especially as the situation gradually becomes clearer, many powerful figures are starting to have designs on it.

The fighting power of the Witch Clan is unparalleled. Apart from the Dao Ancestor Hongjun personally taking action, no one can withstand the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Even the demon race could only use their lives to wear down and delay the inevitable.

If more powerful individuals join the Witch Clan, and they cooperate with the "Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation," defeating the Demon Clan will be no problem at all.

Therefore, the Wu Clan wants to use the Ziwei Emperor to demonstrate their attitude to all races in the prehistoric world and attract more powerful individuals to join them.

With the Ziwei Emperor as the starting point, it will be no problem for other cultivators to join.

It must be said that the Twelve Ancestral Witches' move was indeed brilliant.

They not only thwarted the demon race's plans, preventing Emperor Jun from achieving his goals, but also gained the upper hand, paving the way for their future victory over the demon race.

The reason why the Ancestral Witches did this was clearly because they truly regarded the demon race as their adversary.

In the past, they wouldn't have bothered with these methods; they would have just attacked directly.

Now, the demon race not only has the Heavenly Court, but also, with the help of Hongjun Daozu's sermons, their own strength has increased rapidly, and they have already gained the ability to contend with the witch race.

For the Twelve Ancestral Witches, annihilating the demon race is no longer as easy as simply lifting a finger.

Therefore, the current Ancestral Witches have no choice but to find another way to crush the demon race with absolute power.

The Lich Wars were not only a struggle for hegemony, but also a battle for life and death.

If one side fails, then death will inevitably await them!

In the face of countless eons, where is there any mercy?

Ao Bai was very clear about the situation of the Lich Clan. After learning that the Ziwei Emperor had joined the Lich Clan, he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Currently, the Witch Clan still holds an absolute advantage. The Demon Clan has a large number of members, but they cannot withstand the 'Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.' Once the Witch Clan gathers enough powerful individuals, I fear that even with the Heavenly Court's backing, the Demon Clan will be annihilated!"

Ao Bai shook his head repeatedly. He had finally seen some hope for the demon race, but if the demon race were wiped out, then their dragon race would definitely be the next target.

"I hope that the patriarchs of the myriad races of the primordial world will not easily join the Witch Clan."

Ao Bai could only console himself, but he knew very well that those people only cared about their own interests.

If they were to join the Witch Clan now, they would be very confident, even almost certain, to wipe out the Demon Clan.

Therefore, with such a great temptation, many powerful people will surely be tempted.

Since they cannot shake the power of the Lich and Demon races, joining them is clearly a good option.

As for other things, they don't care.

Although Ao Bai was familiar with the trajectory of the Great Calamity of the Primordial World, the situation had already changed, for example, with the emergence of Yuanzhou Immortal Island, the arrival of Fairy Wangshu, and the survival of Emperor Ziwei.

These things had never happened before, but now they were all real, which made Ao Bai wary and worried.
