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

Chapter 71 Returning to Longevity Mountain, the Little Vermilion Bird Leaves Home

"Senior Brother?"

The Twelve Ancestral Witches and Qingli were all quite surprised when they heard this.

It's no wonder they were so surprised, because Zhen Yuanzi had never told them that he had a well-behaved senior disciple who had guarded the mountain for countless eons!

Looking at the group of curious little ones, Zhen Yuanzi continued, "In the beginning of time, the ferocious beast race ravaged the primordial world, intending to return it to chaos."

"And when the Heavenly Dao first awakened, it helped a clan survive the calamity; this is the White Tiger!"

"The White Tiger clan led ten thousand clans to fight against the ferocious beasts, but in the end they were slaughtered by the beasts, with only one in ten surviving, and withdrew from the prehistoric world."

"However, one of the White Tiger's cubs escaped to the territory of Longevity Mountain seeking refuge. I could not bear it, so I appeared and protected him."

"And he is none other than your eldest senior brother—Zhan Xiao!"

As he spoke, Zhen Yuanzi's gaze drifted towards Longevity Mountain. "Several hundred Yuanhui have passed since I left the temple."

"Your eldest brother manages Longevity Mountain entirely by himself, and he also protects all the creatures within its borders. It must be so hard for him~"

War Howl: o((TT)o

The prince of the White Tiger clan!

After learning of his identity as the eldest disciple and his role in protecting Longevity Mountain, Qingli and the Twelve Ancestral Witches turned towards Longevity Mountain and bowed respectfully from afar.

Seeing his disciples perform the respectful ceremony, Zhen Yuanzi felt deeply gratified. He then spoke again: "Now another great calamity has arrived. Although it is only a calamity to maintain the order and stabilize the rules of heaven and earth at this time, it will surely become a great calamity for heaven and earth afterward!"

"You twelve Ancestral Witches should devote yourselves to cultivation on Mount Buzhou and must not leave without permission."

"Qingli, your path is different from theirs, and also different from my path."

"You must forge your own unique path of destiny!"

"From now on, you will also seek enlightenment at Buzhou Mountain. I believe that it will not be long before you will be able to understand the rudiments of the Great Dao of Creation."

"Disciple obeys."

Qingli and the Twelve Ancestral Witches bowed and accepted the order at the same time.

Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly to his disciples, then took a step and suddenly disappeared.

"We respectfully see our teacher off!"

After Zhen Yuanzi left, Qing Li frowned slightly. Why did my teacher also ask me to seek enlightenment at Buzhou Mountain?

"What kind of beings will my Great Dao of Creation create?"

While Qingli was in a daze, Houtu and Xuanming had already come to her side.

Xuanming affectionately embraced Qingli's jade-like arm, and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Qingli~ Since Master has asked you to cultivate at Buzhou Mountain as well, why don't you come back to the Divine Palace with us?"

Houtu was also present and extended a warm invitation: "Junior sister, perhaps this is why our teacher sent you to Buzhou Mountain to comprehend the Dao."

"I imagine that Junior Sister will gain something after entering the Divine Temple."

"Yes—" the other Ancestral Witches chimed in, extending the invitation as well.

"Since you senior brothers and sisters have invited me, how could I refuse? Thank you—"

Qingli immediately thanked her and agreed.

She sensed that her path might be related to the Pangu Temple.

And as Houtu said, she realized that her teacher had asked her to stay on Buzhou Mountain so that she could get along well with her senior brothers and sisters!

While his disciples were returning to the Pangu Temple at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi also embarked on his journey back to Wanshou Mountain.

Zhen Yuanzi followed the same path he had come by, but this time he turned around several times faster than before.

After all, he now possesses not only the strength of a half-step Grand Luo Golden Immortal, but is also the Lord of the Earth!

With his mastery of the power of the earth, he could appear anywhere in the primordial world in an instant, even before he had attained enlightenment!

However, Zhen Yuanzi did not use the power of the underground passage to return directly to Wanshou Mountain.

Instead, it shrinks the distance to an inch in one step, appearing on the Yin-Yang Wuji Mountain on the way here!

The reason, of course, is that this mountain has a special connection with him.

Zhen Yuanzi suddenly appeared on Mount Wuji using his spatial power. When he looked down, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

What surprised him was not the form of this destiny, but its posture!

This is an adorable little turkey sprawled out at the foot of Yin-Yang Mountain!

This little turkey is small in size, with crimson feathers all over its body and some golden patterns on its tail feathers.

Even though his eyes showed weariness, he still looked on with longing for the towering Buzhou Mountain in the distance.

"After sneaking out for so long, I can finally see Mount Buzhou!"

"Once I reach Buzhou Mountain, I should be able to meet that Dao Ancestor, right?"

"It's a pity that using this magic weapon consumes too much energy. By the time I get to Buzhou Mountain, will that Dao Ancestor have already left?"

The girl's light and melodious voice made Zhen Yuanzi, who was looking down at her, shake his head and smile.

Dao Ancestor?

In this primordial world, who is worthy of the title of Dao Ancestor?

Even Hongjun is not worthy.

Only he, the master of the earth, the Ancestor Zhenyuan!

Zhen Yuanzi stared at the "little turkey," his eyes filled with relief. "It seems that my appearance as the Lord of the Underworld has changed the fate of this little princess of the Phoenix Clan, just like my disciple Zhan Xiao."

However, even though fate has changed, it will still follow the changed fate.

Zhen Yuanzi immediately recognized that this "little turkey" came from the Phoenix Clan, and its lineage was extremely impressive.

Instead of calling it a little turkey, we should call it the Vermilion Bird!

After the little Vermilion Bird was born, it was protected by its mother, the Phoenix Ancestor.

However, as the war between the three clans of the East Sea intensified, the Phoenix Ancestor worried that without its help, the Phoenix Clan would be no match for the Dragon and Qilin Clans.

So she left Little Vermilion Bird at the Immortal Volcano and went to the East China Sea to provide support.

The little Vermilion Bird, left at home, was extremely bored and felt utterly powerless.

She had no intention of leaving home, but the birth of the Thirty-Three Grade Creation Green Lotus made her yearn for the Lord of the Earth.

In her opinion, since the Creation Lotus was able to be born and take human form with the help of this Dao Ancestor and reach the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, it would naturally also help her increase her cultivation!

Once her cultivation reaches the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, she will definitely no longer be left at home by her mother as a left-behind child.

It was because of this simple idea that the little Vermilion Bird quietly ran away from home and flew towards Mount Buzhou.

Logically speaking, at her speed, it would take her at least several dozen eons to get here.

There's only one reason why she arrived at Wuji Mountain so quickly.

That was the little flag she was holding with her wings!

This small flag is entirely crimson with golden patterns; it is none other than the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Southern Flame Banner!

This treasure was left by the Phoenix Ancestor for Little Vermilion Bird to protect herself.

But it became a huge help in her escape from the immortal volcano and her rapid arrival here!

Once the Flame Banner is unfurled, it can ride the Southern Ming Fire, shrink the earth to an inch, and instantly teleport across continents!

Ming Xiao Zhuque had come looking for her, and Zhen Yuanzi immediately appeared in front of her.

Before he could speak, the little Vermilion Bird was startled by his sudden appearance and immediately realized what was happening. It hurriedly tried to activate its magical treasure to escape.

Unfortunately, she had used up too much energy using the Ground-Leaving Flame Banner.

Since they have all been consumed from their transformed forms and returned to their original forms, how can they still be used?

Moreover, how could she possibly fly away when Zhen Yuanzi was right in front of her?

Watching the little Vermilion Bird leap up on the ground, Zhen Yuanzi raised his hand and lightly pointed out a beam of earth-yellow light, which entered her body!

This beam of light not only prevented the little Vermilion Bird from using its magical treasures.

This transformed her from her original "turkey" form into a stunningly beautiful young woman!
