The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 170 Fire Cloud Cave, Journey to the West, Three Million Years Before the Past (First Update)

The creation of this world was a complex and intricate process, and this hazy, gray aura quickly permeated the entire cave, lingering near everyone's noses.

Soon, in the blink of an eye, this hazy, gray aura returned to its origin, like light and water flowing backward.

From the grayish color, all sorts of colorful hues gradually emerged, dazzling and vibrant.

Bathed in vibrant colors, everyone felt as if, in that fleeting moment, they could see that the tiny seed contained within it mountains and rivers, flowers and trees, beasts and birds, insects and spirits.

Everyone was stunned.

Luo Zu knew that these were only part of the opening of the cave.

The true content has never been expressed so simply.

Luo Zu was not one to speak in riddles, but he also wouldn't reveal these things on the spot. He simply recorded them and put them in his library.

"I have written down all the details regarding the opening of this grotto-heaven. If you have any ideas, you may go and take a look," Luo Zu said slowly.

"Yes, Chieftain." The crowd obeyed.

Then Luo Zu took the "seed" into his hand.

Then he sent the "seed" away, and it disappeared in front of everyone in a series of transformations.

"From now on, you can summon this grotto by reciting the incantation."

The cave heaven, having been imbued with the magic of the Luo Ancestor, has quietly merged into the earth veins of Luo Township. This allows it to directly absorb the spiritual energy from the earth veins and replenish the cave heaven, thus saving the need to expend immortal energy on other "cave dwellers".

Upon hearing Luo Zu's explanation, everyone was naturally full of amazement.

After the cave had been opened and stabilized, Luo Zu told everyone his story about his intention to travel far away.

These words struck everyone as if they had been hit hard on the head.

"Where are you going?" Huowa asked, raising his hand.

"Go to Buzhou Mountain," Luo Zu replied immediately.

"Isn't that far?" Everyone frowned.

"Very far" means that it takes a long time to get there.

"It could take tens of thousands of years, or as little as a few decades," Luo Zu replied.

Everyone was deeply saddened, and some were on the verge of tears.

"Why does the clan leader abandon us?"

"Nowadays, there are many immortals in our clan. Besides, we have a good relationship with the Wu clan and have cooperated with them many times. We are good friends. If there is anything, we can ask them for help. They will not refuse." Luo Zu replied.

"But without you, Chief, how can we manage all the affairs of the tribe?"

"I've been in seclusion for the past few years and haven't really been involved in tribe affairs. Fire Boy, Iron Head, Stream, Second Boy..." Luo Zu called out each name one by one.

"You all handled it very well, even better than me. The tribe will not be unable to function without me," Lozu finally praised everyone.

After Luo Zu's words, everyone's anxiety was calmed down.

Just as Luo Zu said, Luo Zu has often gone into seclusion in recent years, ignoring tribal affairs and leaving all matters to Huowa and Tietou. And even so, there has been no trouble in the tribe, and everything is normal.

"From now on, Tie Tou will be the clan leader, and Huo Wa will be the deputy clan leader. Do any of you have any objections?" Luo Zu then announced the new appointments.

Everyone was still processing what Luo Zu had said, so no one responded.

"Iron Head, Fire Boy, do you have any doubts?" Luo Zu called out the two people involved.

"I don't," Huowa answered first.

"I don't have any either," Tie Tou said in a muffled voice.

"Well, my trip to Buzhou Mountain is also to investigate the movements of other human tribes before determining the future direction of our 'Upper Caveman' people." Luo Zu then came up with a bunch of reasons.

"Moreover, I have left an avatar of this in this cave. It is connected to my main body, and if I encounter any problems that I cannot solve, I can seek it out," Luo Zu added.

This clone is indeed special, because Luo Zu not only cultivated the world within the gourd to the level of immortal arts, but also the ability to manipulate creation.

This clone was created using the power of immortal beings, so it possesses some extraordinary abilities.

If the tribe encounters a crisis, Luo Zu can remotely transmit most of his immortal energy.

However, the farther the distance, the more immortal energy will be consumed during the transmission.

In addition, there are many unexpected events when teleporting. If it is blocked by a prehistoric behemoth, the immortal energy of the teleportation will be greatly weakened or even eliminated. The prehistoric behemoths here are the kind that are tens of thousands of miles long, not the "little ones" in Luoxiang.

In addition, it may be blocked by mountains, the breath of water, or even a sudden severe weather event.

Therefore, Luo Zu devised a method to maintain this remote assistance, which was to transmit a portion of his own knowledge and immortal energy every once in a while, and at the same time update the physical condition of the clone so that it could keep up with Luo Zu's own cultivation level, which was constantly improving.

Luo Zu thought this technology was patentable, but unfortunately there was no primordial patent office.

In addition, Luo Zu can also use this clone to send the consciousness of his tribesmen into his world within his gourd.

However, teleportation over a distance will have a delay, and there will be situations where Luo Zu teleports immortal energy over a distance, which will be blocked by various unexpected events.

Therefore, their primordial spirits can no longer enter the world within the pot; they can only reach the world within the pot with their consciousness and then refine the clones created within it into external avatars.

Luo Zu was also helpless about this change, but this was the only thing he could do.

If in the future the creatures of the world within the pot can be sent to the primordial wilderness, then Luo Zu can also lead them to see a different landscape tens of thousands of light-years away.

Not bad.

After discussing it for about a day, everyone could only accept that Luo Zu was going to leave the tribe and travel to a distant land.

Moreover, they couldn't stop Luo Zu from making a decision.

Then we can only respect and offer our blessings.

May the clan leader have a safe journey and return soon.

"I'm not leaving today, so you don't need to say such discouraging things." They've set so many flags for me.

As they offered their blessings, Luo Zu felt as if he were an old general on a stage, covered in flags.

Then Luo Zu wanted to drive them all out of the cave.

However, Lu, mimicking his father, raised his hand and asked, "Clan Chief, what is the name of your grotto-heaven?"

He thought that if a mountain has a name and rivers and lakes have names on the map, then this "Caveman's" own cave should also have a name.

Luo Zu originally wanted to name it "Mountain Top Grotto Heaven", but seeing the eager, hungry eyes of these people, Luo Zu choked on his words.

"Then let's go with the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven," Luo Zu thought to himself.

He'd be happy to give away this grotto, but don't even think about taking over his cave dwelling.

Upon hearing the name, everyone left satisfied.

The news of Luo Zu's departure spread quickly, and Tang arrived that very night.

Tang first engaged in sexual intercourse, then took Luo Zu's arm and asked, "Luo, will you come back?"

"Just like you did back then, I will definitely come back," Luo Zu replied.

"Mmm..." Tang nodded with deep affection in Luo Zu's arms.

"I will wait for you."

After that, Tang asked the Hot Witch tribe for a leave of absence and stayed in the "Peak Caveman" tribe.

Life must go on. Luo Zu still needs to gradually improve the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven, picking out the flawed paths within and then repairing them.

This task is easy, since there is a ready-made prehistoric world as a reference, making it simple and straightforward.

However, this would also make the relationship between the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven and the Primordial World unusually close, making it easier for other powerful beings to discover its location.

In doing so, it would contradict Luo Zu's original intention of creating this grotto-heaven to seek refuge.

This won't do, so Luo Zu quickly revised the rules.

During Luo Zu's rest period, an elder from the Hot Witch tribe came over, exchanged pleasantries with Luo Zu, and then presented him with a top-quality Hot Witch sword.

"It can slay demon immortals!" the elder said proudly.

Luo Zu accepted it.

Besides the sword, he also brought many supplies: thirty pills of herbs and medicinal herbs to replenish qi and restore strength, and a ritual text of the Wu tribe.

"This is a lodge that the clan chief obtained from the elders of the Moon Witch Tribe. With this lodge, you can be taken in by any witch tribe along the way, and you can also use it to ask for help if you encounter danger," the witch elder explained.

Good heavens, Luo Zu's journey west has yielded yet another "passport"—is this some kind of Journey to the West?

However, we're still missing Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon Horse...

If you can be Tang Sanzang today, why bother traveling west to seek the true scriptures?

In addition to these items, the Hot Witch Tribe also gave them a map.

A map of the entire Houtu Ancestral Witch Domain.

This map was not written on paper, but was transformed into 3,600 ritual texts of the Wu tribe, and then the map appeared in Luo Zu's mind as he read them through.

The main reason is that the Houtu Ancestral Witch Domain is too vast. If we really wanted to present it on paper, the paper would probably not be more than a mile square and wouldn't show much content. A mile square piece of paper can only draw the general things, such as some famous mountains, famous rivers and lakes, and various great witch villages. We can only see them in such a general way.

However, the map imprinted in his mind by these three thousand six hundred witch clan sacrificial texts could display all the mountains and rivers, and even allow him to see the whole picture from afar, as well as to observe the leaves of a certain ancient tree up close, which was quite magical.

only……

"This was drawn by the Ancestral Witch of the Earth three million years ago using her great supernatural powers. Since then, the primordial world has undergone some changes, and the landscape may have changed somewhat," the elder of the Witch Clan said somewhat embarrassedly.

"..." This time, it really is as if they are the Wu clan, as if they are the ancestral Wu.

For them, three million years is probably just a nap, so they don't care about such a small detail.

"I've heard that the great shamans are about to join forces to modify and adjust it."

Okay, having a map is better than not having one.

After delivering these items, Elder Hotwitch hurriedly left under Tang's watchful eye.

The two resumed their time together as a couple.

Luo Zu granted Tang permission to enter the world within the pot.

In the future, the two can discuss metaphysics and philosophy, and confide in each other.

Luo Zu can also give her a "cheat code," allowing her to use the divination abilities of the "Heavenly Dao."

As for Luo Zu's 108 spiritual brains, Luo Zu didn't dare to give them to her if her cultivation level wasn't high enough.

Of course, Luo Zu also gave this "cheat" to every clansman who had attained true immortality.

However, this "additional feature" can become unstable as the distance increases.

But having something is better than having nothing.
