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

Under the watchful eyes of all living beings in the primordial world, the moment the Great Dao's merit manifested, it descended directly upon Longevity Mountain in the center!

Upon reaching the summit, it suddenly split into three!

Forty percent entered the Earthly Mirror, forty percent entered the World-Suppressing Staff, and the last twenty percent entered the Dao Body of Zhen Yuanzi!

The two paths of Heaven and Earth are not manifest. The treasure of the Earthly Path's authority and merit are complete, and only the Great Dao that governs the primordial world can bestow it upon it.

This merit may not seem particularly substantial~

It is only as thick as a bowl, but it is a real and substantial act of great merit!

Even if it is divided into three, it is enough to elevate the Earthly Mirror and the World-Suppressing Staff, which were originally top-grade innate spiritual treasures, to become supreme treasures of merit in the primordial world!

The acquired Great Dao Merit Treasure can kill without incurring karmic consequences, without calamity or disaster, can suppress destiny, and its power is comparable to that of the innate treasure!

Previously, they only possessed two items: the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, which was born alongside Taiqing, and the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, which was still nowhere to be found.

Two treasures, one for unparalleled defense, one for invincible offense!

The current World-Suppressing Staff and Earthly Mirror are also one offensive and one defensive!

It not only fills the gap in the treasure of underground authority, but also makes up for the shortcomings of Zhen Yuanzi's ability to only defend and the Earth Book Array!

The two supreme treasures hung beside Zhen Yuanzi, radiating unparalleled power and golden light of merit!

Zhen Yuanzi, who received 20% of the Great Dao's merit into his body, instantly and naturally advanced his understanding of the Great Dao of Earth and the life laws it embodies from the Lesser Completion to the Greater Completion!

He even took the shape of a ginseng fruit as his Dao body, and glimpsed the first glimpse of the laws of creation!

The improvement in his understanding of the laws allowed Zhen Yuanzi to break through the cultivation level of the Several Yuan Hui, and he also broke through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

Just one step away from becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal!

hum!

A powerful aura spread outwards from Longevity Mountain, causing the surrounding area to tremble!

Holding two priceless treasures and leaning against the ginseng fruit tree, Zhen Yuanzi's handsome face was beaming with a smile:

"The treasure that completes the authority of the earth has indeed enabled me to receive the merits bestowed by the Great Dao."

"Now that I have the magic weapon at my disposal, I should continue to deduce the Great Dao of Earth and the formations, and strive to attain the Primordial Golden Immortal status as soon as possible."

"Only in this way can I gain more merit during the great calamity of ferocious beasts and help the Earthly Path awaken and manifest ahead of schedule."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhen Yuanzi stretched out both hands forward.

The Earthly Mirror and the World-Suppressing Staff stood upright on either side of him, forming a three-legged intertwined arrangement with the ginseng fruit tree behind him, surrounding the Dao body of Zhen Yuanzi in the center!

Zhen Yuanzi slowly sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and drew the spiritual energy of the primordial earth's veins to his body.

The instant the three points aligned, an indescribable and terrifying suction force erupted from Longevity Hill!

Because Longevity Mountain stands in the center of the primordial wilderness, the four main spiritual veins in the east, west, south and north are drawn to it, and the spiritual energy surges like rivers, carrying extremely rich earth energy, which transforms into earthen dragons that converge towards Longevity Mountain!

Deep within the earth, centered on Longevity Mountain, the earth's veins, spanning hundreds of millions of miles, resounded simultaneously!

The underground river surged and the turbid air of the Netherworld surged violently!

Such a sudden and magnificent phenomenon of gathering the earth's spiritual energy exploded like thunder among the myriad senses of the primordial world, who were still stunned by the manifestation of the Great Dao!

Countless innate beings looked towards Longevity Mountain, their eyes filled with astonishment and fear.

In their perception, the aura that created such a grand momentum was extremely heavy, and even carried an aura of majesty that left them no room for doubt!

"Who is it? Who on earth is it?!"

As Hongjun recovered from his injuries beneath the eastern earth veins, he suddenly found himself unable to draw upon spiritual energy, and exclaimed in astonishment.

His brows furrowed, and he hurriedly began to calculate using the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation.

No matter how he calculated, he could only perceive a vast and boundless land, which greatly surprised him:

"Even the Jade Tablet of Creation couldn't deduce its origins!"

"Is he a chaotic demon god who, like me, escaped the great calamity of creation and is even more powerful than me, or a primordial deity whose merits from the Great Dao prevent me from calculating him?"

"Enough! My injuries have not yet healed, and I should not be out in the world now. I should find a place far away from him to recuperate for the time being."

In the void.

A dilapidated, hollow willow tree was hidden here. Sensing the grandeur beneath his feet, he spoke softly:

"It seems that in this primordial world, not only do ferocious beasts and they pose a threat to me, but there are also such unfathomable and mysterious beings!"

Mount Sumeru in the West.

Rahu, seated cross-legged on the twelfth-petaled black lotus of world destruction, had a playful glint in his eyes:

"Interesting! His power can actually activate the primordial earth veins!"

"What if I were to use my demonic path to similarly activate the Western spiritual veins for further refinement?"

Before he could finish speaking, he opened his palm, revealing a pitch-black Nine Demon Pagoda.

"Unfortunately, my injuries have not yet healed, so I can only do this after I have recovered."

"So close?"

By order of the Beast God Shen Ni, the Qiongqi, which had gathered nearly 10 billion ferocious beasts along the way from the north to the southern land and slaughtered the innate races of living beings, suddenly stopped.

He has wings, is shaped like a tiger, has bristles on his back, and gazes into the distance, thousands of miles away.

In his perception, the source that triggered the earth's spiritual veins was right in front of him, blocking his inevitable path to the southern lands to slaughter!

"roar--!"

Qiongqi let out a roar that shook the heavens, releasing a violent aura.

"He's merely a minor Great Luo Immortal, yet he manages to activate the earth's spiritual veins; he deserves to be destroyed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiongqi spread its wings, blotting out the sky and leading nearly 10 billion ferocious beasts behind it towards Wanshou Mountain!

The ferocious beasts included a giant wolf with two horns on its head, a giant bird covered in scales, and a monstrous beast with a round body and a gaping, blood-red maw...

Their movements swept across the heavens and earth like a black tide.

Wherever it passed, all living beings in the world were slaughtered, mountains collapsed, rivers stopped flowing, and even forests were devoured into dust. Crimson winds and bloodthirst filled the sky, a truly terrifying sight.

The name "Beast Tide" comes from this.

At this time, Zhen Yuanzi was completely unaware of this.

He was sitting cross-legged atop Longevity Mountain, completely immersed in the profound mysteries of cultivating Taoist arts, surrounded by the rich energy of Earth.

The Earthly Mirror is for protection, the World-Suppressing Staff is for merit, and the Human Fruit Tree is the source of endless life. Under Zhen Yuanzi's enlightenment, the three gradually outlined a perfect set of Taoist principles in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Outside his sea of ​​consciousness, the Wanshou Mountain Formation also underwent changes that were different from before!

The earthen-yellow light shield, like an inverted glass bowl, covered the entire massive immortal mountain, protecting it completely.

The surface of the light shield is covered with patterns resembling the earth's spiritual veins, giving it an extremely heavy and extraordinary appearance.

This grand formation is based on the Earthly Dao and can contain numerous Earthly Dao laws within it.

Using the ginseng fruit tree as its driving force, it is ever-renewing. The Earthly Elemental Mirror gathers the power of the earth for defense, while the World-Suppressing Staff gathers the power of the earth to suppress and kill!

This innate grand formation is no longer just for defense; it also possesses the power of attack!

In the future, the laws carried by Zhen Yuanzi's Wutu Great Dao will become even stronger!

The name of the formation was also changed, and it was named: Wutu Zhenyuan Grand Formation!

"roar--"

Outside Longevity Mountain, a beast's roar suddenly rang out.

The ferocious beast king Qiongqi has led billions of ferocious beasts, surrounding the entire Longevity Mountain like a dark cloud!

Accompanied by the roar of Qiongqi, billions of ferocious beasts launched a fierce attack on Wanshou Mountain from all directions!
