Primordial Era: I, Wutu, govern the Earthly Dao and suppress the Heavenly Dao.

To maintain order in the primordial world, the Heavenly Dao first helped the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races to be born, and then sent out the Taiji Diagram and the Auspicious Clouds of the Heavens. Having exhausted its power, it fell into slumber once more.

This self-protection is all the strength and means that the weak Heavenly Dao can muster.

It can be described as a desperate gamble, a fight to the death!

Either the ferocious beast race will destroy the primordial world, returning heaven and earth to chaos, or the ferocious beast race will be wiped out, and it will grow stronger and manage the primordial world!

Only when the ferocious beast is destroyed and the order of heaven and earth is restored can it accumulate the strength to awaken again.

Zhen Yuanzi understood that the period without the Heavenly Dao was precisely the best time for the Earthly Dao to awaken and contend with it in the future!

Therefore, he instantly refined the first layer of restrictions on the Taiji Diagram.

In an instant, Zhen Yuanzi felt a sense of stability arise spontaneously, which had already merged into his Wutu Dao.

The Tai Chi symbol can stabilize the chaotic earth, water, fire, and wind, possessing the power to establish order and stabilize the primordial world.

When it becomes Zhen Yuanzi's treasure, his power to stabilize the earth and his might to suppress the world will naturally be even greater than before!

"A supreme innate treasure, indeed extraordinary."

Feeling the power of the Taiji diagram, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he then transformed into a golden light and continued towards Buzhou Mountain.

The commotion they just made was quite significant. If they continue refining the Tai Chi diagram here, they will surely be surrounded by the surrounding ferocious beasts.

With the Yin-Yang Wuji Mountain Formation gone, there are no more obstacles for the ferocious beasts. Although Zhen Yuanzi is not afraid of the ferocious beasts and can suppress them with a flick of his hand, the most important thing now is to go to Buzhou Mountain. Any trouble that can be avoided should be avoided as much as possible.

The emergence of the Taiji diagram did not cause much of a stir because it was concealed by the laws of nature.

However, Zhen Yuanzi shattered the Primordial Yin-Yang Formation, and the power of this attack shook the heavens and earth, reaching the senses of countless living beings.

All living beings in the primordial world were astonished by what they heard.

"The Yin-Yang Ancestor has been defeated! Defeated with a single blow!"

"With a single staff strike, he shattered the innate Yin-Yang Grand Array! I ask you, besides Ancestor Zhenyuan, who else in the world could accomplish this?"

"Master Zhenyuan has...suppressed yet another ancestor!"

"Could it be that he descended from the mountains to suppress the other patriarchs because they were not worthy of sharing the title of patriarch with him?"

"Hiss~ First it was the Western Rahu Ancestor, now it's the Central Yin-Yang Ancestor, who's next?"

"Is it the Ancestor Qiankun, the Ancestor Hongjun, or the Ancestor Yangmei?"

If all living beings in the primordial world had such thoughts, it goes without saying that the ancestor involved must have thought so.

As Hongjun approached Buzhou Mountain, he gazed towards Yin-Yang Mountain. When he sensed that heavy aura rushing towards Buzhou Mountain, his expression changed drastically:

"Is he—coming for me?"

"...His strength has reached such a terrifying level!"

"You defeated the Yin-Yang Demon God with just one strike! What if it were me?"

Thinking of this, Hongjun reflexively used the Creation Jade Disc to calculate.

However, the calculation results were still the same as before, a complete void, and it was impossible to calculate them.

He could only analyze and ponder it in private.

"Besides the laws they cultivated, the Yin-Yang Association's defeat was also due to the inadequacy of its magical treasures. A significant gap in magical treasures inevitably led to defeat."

"But the speed of this defeat was too fast! Now I'm even more lacking in defensive treasures than he is, but where can I find one?"

"I had planned to gather some powerful magical artifacts on Mount Buzhou to protect myself in the future, but now he's already heading this way!"

"Could it be that you are truly dissatisfied with my calling myself 'Ancestor'?"

Hongjun hesitated, his pupils contracting, and suddenly he thought of Rahu.

"Since even that old devil is temporarily avoiding me, then my temporary avoidance won't be a loss of face. I should leave quickly!"

Before he could finish speaking, Hongjun transformed into his earthen form, an earthworm, and vanished into the ground…

On the other side, the Qiankun Ancestor had just begun refining the Heavenly Celebration Clouds when he realized that Yin and Yang had been defeated, and defeated utterly!

Sensing this, he felt no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he was so confident that he even harbored a hint of anticipation.

"Displeased that I refer to myself as an ancestor? So what!"

"Now that I, the Ancestor, possess the Heavenly Treasure, the Cloud of Auspicious Blessings, I fear no demon or god in this world!"

"Don't even mention Zhen Yuanzi, even the Beast God Shen Ni, I can fight him!"

On the eastern land, the First Emperor's eyes were deep and unfathomable:

"As expected, the reputation of Patriarch Zhenyuan is not just empty boasting. Even Yin Yang, a late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal, was no match for him in his own Daoist temple!"

"Immediately convey my command: all sons of my dragon clan must not be negligent when encountering Ancestor Zhenyuan; they must show him the same respect as I do!"

"Yes."

Yuan Feng, who was slaying ferocious beasts in the southern lands, also issued this order.

He also specifically emphasized that no bird that has not yet taken human form should ever fly over the head of the Patriarch Zhenyuan.

This order, though seemingly a bit comical and down-to-earth, genuinely showed respect for Zhen Yuanzi.

Unlike the Dragon and Phoenix clans, the First Qilin personally led his beasts to Yin Yang Wuji Mountain, wanting to meet the Zhenyuan Ancestor.

Before arriving, he specifically ordered the surrounding tribes to eliminate all the ferocious beasts within tens of thousands of miles of Yin-Yang Mountain!

Although this action did not allow him to see Zhen Yuanzi and he only missed him, it inadvertently saved the seriously injured and unconscious Yin Yang Ancestor, thus incurring a karmic debt to his Qilin Clan!

Zhen Yuanzi traveled eastward, unleashing his golden light to leap across mountains and rivers.

Buzhou Mountain, Yin-Yang Mountain, and Wanshou Mountain of Zhen Yuanzi all belong to the central boundary of the land in the east, west, south, and north.

It may sound like they're not far apart, but the distance between the two mountains is actually extremely far, far beyond what we see in later generations.

Even at Zhen Yuanzi's speed, it would take two multi-day periods to arrive.

Along the way, Zhen Yuanzi not only encountered ferocious beasts, but also many dragons, phoenixes, and qilins. They fought each other, roaring and dripping with blood, filling the world with a murderous aura.

Such a scene was observed across the land, suggesting that Rahu, who had been absent from the west for a long time, would soon be able to partially unseal the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!

Zhen Yuanzi drew upon the earth energy along the way and also collected some spiritual treasures.

However, perhaps because he was too close to Buzhou Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi's harvest this time was not as good as last time.

Zhen Yuanzi didn't care about this.

In the primordial world of later generations' memories, magical treasures and spiritual roots were often born at Buzhou Mountain. Now that we are about to reach Buzhou Mountain, how could there be a shortage of magical treasures and spiritual roots?

This day.

A colossal immortal mountain, supporting the sky and supporting the earth, has appeared in Zhen Yuanzi's sight.

This mountain soars into the clouds, reaching straight to the heavens and descending to the deepest hell; its form resembles a continent standing here…

Although it was entirely green with vitality, countless mysterious runes flickered and emitted countless profound runes!

It is Buzhou Mountain!

"This aura is..."

In Zhen Yuanzi's perception, the closer he got to Buzhou Mountain, the stronger the aura that he felt was grand and supreme became.

This aura is the vastness and profoundness left behind by the great god Pangu after he created the world!

What's even stranger is that this aura actually resonated faintly with the Earth element within his body!

Feeling this, Zhen Yuanzi became even more eager, but he still underestimated the grandeur of Buzhou Mountain.

By the time he arrived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, a full cycle had passed.

The foot of the mountain in sight is only one or two percent of Buzhou Mountain.

Even here, spiritual springs gush forth, wondrous flowers bloom, and countless beings, though born, are yet to awaken their intelligence.

Zhen Yuanzi stood at the foot of the mountain, gazing at this primordial pillar of heaven, his eyes filled with solemnity and anticipation.

"Mount Buzhou, I'd like to see just how many spiritual roots and magical treasures you possess!"
