Chapter 10: Chaos Demon God! Finally To The Great Desolate Continent!

“Thank you, Daoist Bai Long, for your kindness. It’s just that this humble Daoist is practicing a secret technique and can’t leave for the time being.”

“Next time, I will personally visit your Guidong Mansion.”

As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling face; Bai Long invited Kun Peng with such genuine smile that he couldn’t refuse flatly, and thus had to make excuses.

“Very well. You are always welcome at the Dragon Clan. We look forward to welcoming fellow Daoist at any time.”

Theare was veiled meaning in Bai Long’s words. Kun Peng merely pretended not to understand, and left with a few perfunctory words.

****

“It really is the Chaos Demon God!”

After returning to Penglai Immortal Island, Yuan Lian had been focused on deciphering the drop of blood.

It took him nearly a thousand years to completely wipe out the endless resentment contained within the captured drop of blood.

Of course, he had no intention of absorbing or refining this drop of demon god’s blood.

Unless he truly wished for death, risking becoming like that ferocious beast- chaotic and ignorant, knowing only destruction.

‘The Dao of the Chaos Demon God is chaos and disorder. As long as one cultivates this Dao, there would be only one path- utter destruction.’

‘Either destroy everything, destroy the world and prove your one’s own dao, or fall upon the path of destruction.’

Yuan Lian was not foolish, he knew exactly how to choose.

He only needs the comprehension of the Dao contained within the blood of the Chaos Demon God. He does not need to refine it.

Boom!!

The blood without the resentment of the Chaos Demon God was easily purified by Yuan Lian.

As the blood shattered, hundreds of millions of brilliant but fragmented laws began dissipating.

Yuan Lian immediately concentrated, calmed his mind, and began to carefully comprehend the fragments.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The branches and leaves of the Huang Zhongli trembled, and the immeasurable Dao rhyme permeated, imprisoning all the scattered laws within the dao domain, and slowly absorbing them into the tree.

‘Time is like water, flowing silently.’

“This Chaos Demon God! It’s beyond imagination!” Yuan Lian woke up leisurely and sighed sincerely.

Even after countless Yuan Hui passed, Yuan Lian was greatly benefitted by the single of drop of blood of Chaos Demon God.

After comprehending the laws, he only needs to slowly absorb and transform them into his own Laws and Principles, which will then improve his Daoism cultivation bit by bit.

Moreover, using these incomplete Laws, he realized a new spiritual ability.

When two different Laws come in contact with each other, it results in mysterious and unpredictable trajectories. This leads to a terrifying Law of Destruction that could kill the enemy.

Such as water and fire, yin and yang, movement and stillness…

If utilized to the extreme, the result is the collapse of the world!

One cannot simply cause them to collide at will, because the high probability is mutual annihilation and cancellation.

“It’s a pity that there is no Heavenly Merit. Otherwise, it would be much safer to use merit to create a body-protecting spiritual treasure.”

Yuan Lian still felt a little regretful.

Merit!

The Primordial World was so dangerous. If Yuan Lian can refine a meritorious treasure, he could simply wear the protection of the Merit when others attacked him.

‘Come! You beat me up all you want!’

Yuan Liang felt very happy just thinking about it.

Putting away the complicated thoughts, Yuan Lian took out him remaining wood-type spiritual root materials, refined them into wood-type spiritual energy, and then purified and strengthened the essence of the Innate First Wood bit by bit.

However, ordinary wood-type spiritual roots were merely a drop in the bucket. After purification and assimilation into the Innate First Wood Essence, it became even thinner.

Although the speed of his cultivation was slow, the resulting purity in his spiritual energy was unmatched.

This was an opportunity that others can’t even dream of obtaining. Without the Innate First Wood essence as the source, it would be impossible to cultivate in this manner.

Yuan Lian felt he was being ungrateful despite receiving such a great opportunity.

To cultivate quickly was certainly possible.

One could refine Huang Zhongli, refining even a part of it, which possesses the purest Innate First Wood essence.

However, if he dared to do it, maybe Huang Zhong might instantly strike him down.

Cultivation knows no time.

When all of Yuan Lian’s wood-type spiritual materials were consumed, he knew that it was time for him to venture out again.

There are four essentials in cultivation: Wealth, Companions, Dao and Land.

Wealth ranks first, demonstrating the importance of resources.

“No wonder, those powerful races in Primordial World keep expanding.”

“Even if searching for resources is not the only reason, it is definitely one of the important reasons.”

“I’m so poor!”

Above the endless sea, a flat boat flies across the sky. Yuan Lian sat cross-legged on it and let out a boring sigh.

Breakthrough through new realm was not something that would happen in a short time. When one’s spirit energy is full, simply meditating is useless.

Flying all the way, Yuan Lian spent tens of thousands of years boredom. However, these ten thousand years are not fruitless, at least he had honed his Dao heart.

Cultivation takes a long time. If cultivator can’t bear the loneliness or calm their heart, it will lead to negative outcomes.

The millennium of polishing has made his multi-Daoism more stable and less impetuous.

“Finally arrived at the Great Desolate Continent!” Yuan Lian stood up, looking at the land thousands of miles away, feeling a little emotional.

Putting away the flying boat, Yuan Lian stepped on the ground one step at a time.

As the time turned, Yuan Lian was no longer rushing, instead silently observes the Primordial World while traveling at speed.

“Life has multiplied in the Primordial World; every moment new creatures are born into existence.”

“It’s just that most of them are Acquired spirits and monsters, and many more are still in the process of cultivation.”

“The Primordial World is like a huge incubator, constantly hatching life, endless.”

It’s just that there was an essential difference between Acquired creatures and the Innate Great Powers.

The Innate Gods are born with Laws, in harmony with the Dao, and instinctively know how to pursue the Dao since birth, possessing infinite possibilities.

The Acquired Spirits, conversely, are ignorant and chaotic, relying only on instinct to act. Perhaps a few, pure of heart, can awaken their intelligence, but most of them become the cornerstone at the bottom of the wild.

Boom!!!

In front of Yuan Lian was a small forest that stretches for thousands of miles, dominated by a huge ancient tree towering into the sky.

Above the sky of the ancient tree, thunder flew, accompanied by heavy rain and strong wind.

“The trees that stretch for thousands of miles are actually an extension of its roots, an its spiritual wisdom is currently being activated.”

The thunder was deafening, shining bright light in the sky, and then, it directly bombarded the ancient tree.

The old tree shook its branches vigorously.

The thunder streaked across, destroying most of the ancient tree’s canopy.

This was just an ordinary celestial phenomenon, a natural evolution of heavenly thunder.

The ancient tree was not an incarnation. Yuan Lian could feel that it only had a hazy consciousness and had not given birth to true intelligence.

“Although after being baptized by the essence of the sun and the moon, any creature can be born with spiritual wisdom and embark on the path of cultivation.”

“But this world is too dangerous. A thunderstorm or a wildfire can end their short lives.”

Yuan Lian watched this scene with emotion in his heart.

“So, any living being who embarks on the path of cultivation is due to chance, but this is just the beginning.”

“Only by experiencing catastrophe after disaster and sublimating step by step- this difficult process cannot be avoided, even by Innate Great Power.”

“The Grand Dao is endless!”

Yuan Lian looked at the ancient tree again. After experiencing several thunderstorms, it had completely collapsed, leaving only the roots, which were less than a hundred feet long.

As the proverb state: “The tree that is beautiful in the forest is the one the wind will destroy.”

Yuan Lian did not intervene, everything was merely the natural movement of Heaven and Earth.

Not long after, the wind and rain stopped.

The devasted forest appeared to return to its former appearance, yet its essence had been profoundly altered by the event.

Yuan Lian lowered himself and walked in the forest.

He also saw many spirits running through the forest, a wolf-like beast hunting creatures weaker than itself.

But just after it swallowed the food, a roc bird swooped down, swallowed the wild wolf, and then ate up a nearby group, and left satisfied.

“All things are born together, races are restrained by each other, and the cycle goes on and on, endlessly.”

Yuan Lian walked quickly, and came to the broken ancient tree in a blink of an eye.

The trunk of the ancient tree was withered and cracked, its last remnant of hazy consciousness extinguished. But just a Yuan Lian was about to leave, a touch of greenness in scorched, dry crack made him stop his tracks.

“This is life!”

Yuan Lian looked at the green bud, and flew away after a long time.

“Damn fierce beast, dare to offend me in West Kunlun? Die!”
