Primordial Era: I, Ksitigarbha, shall be the Supreme Being of the Primordial Era.

The two Sal trees were planted by the two Daoists on a cliff on the back of Mount Sumeru. Because of the abundant spiritual energy around them, many spiritual birds would roost near the trees.

The pair of cranes, in particular, were probably the most beloved by the Sal tree, and they even built a nest on a branch of the Sal tree.

Upon learning of this, Erdao did not drive them away, but instead entrusted the task of looking after the twin Sal trees to the pair of spirit cranes.

Today was the day the pair of spirit cranes were watering the twin Sal trees with spiritual water. After bringing several streams of spiritual water to water the twin Sal trees, the pair of spirit cranes were about to rest when they were disturbed by two people who rushed over.

Upon seeing that the two cranes had come, the pair of cranes quickly flew down from the branches to pay their respects.

The guide nodded, then gestured for the two spirit cranes to move further away.

The two cranes dared not refute, and could only flap their wings together and fly to another spirit tree in the distance.

Zhunti Daoist placed the still unconscious Ksitigarbha under the twin Sala trees and turned to look at his senior brother, Jieyin Daoist.

"Senior brother, you said there's a way to make the twin Sala trees grow. What is that method?"

"Junior brother, take a look at this." The Guide Daoist did not answer the Zhunti Daoist's question, but simply took out a gourd and gestured to him.

"Isn't this the last gourd on the innate gourd vine? Could this thing have some wondrous use?"

"Indeed!" The Guide Daoist stroked his beard and nodded. "This treasure gourd was obtained by Ksitigarbha through a fortuitous encounter. Within it lies a naturally formed chaotic space, extremely profound!"

"If you put spiritual liquid into it, it will be imbued with a trace of chaotic energy, thus increasing the grade of the spiritual liquid;

If you absorb your enemy during a battle, it will only take the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to refine and reduce them to nothingness—it's incredibly miraculous!

Unfortunately, this treasure is not yet fully mature, and the chaotic space is not yet completely stable.

However, storing a small amount of spiritual liquid to upgrade its grade is still possible!

"Senior brother, do you intend to use the spiritual liquid that you previously extracted and sprinkled into Ksitigarbha's body?"

"Yes, this spiritual liquid is what I had left over after I extracted the Dao essence from the peaches of immortality and the innate pure Yang spirit mushroom, and I had Ksitigarbha store it in the gourd."

These days, it has already become somewhat tainted with chaos.

Although it cannot save Ksitigarbha, offering it to the twin Sala trees to encourage the growth of spiritual flowers should be more than enough!

Upon hearing this, Daoist Zhunti's tense heart immediately relaxed, and he said, "Then, senior brother, let's not delay and begin!"

The guide nodded, holding the green gourd, and walked to the twin Sal trees, saying, "You must have heard what my junior brother and I said. As long as you can bloom a spiritual flower, the remaining spiritual energy in the spiritual liquid will be yours!"

The twin Sal trees seemed to understand, their branches and leaves swaying gently, making a "swish" sound, and they also conveyed a longing request to the green gourd in the guide's hand.

The guide no longer hesitated, taking half of the spiritual liquid from the green gourd and sprinkling it all on the twin Sal trees.

As the spiritual liquid was absorbed, the twin Sal trees began to tremble continuously.

Then, the leaves on its body began to fall, sprout, and grow...

This tree seems to be constantly going through the cycle of time.

After an unknown amount of time, nine tiny flower buds suddenly sprouted on the twin Sala trees.

The flower buds began to bloom continuously, but stopped blooming halfway through.

The twin Sal trees swayed their bodies continuously, trying to channel their spiritual energy into the flower bud, but the bud showed no sign of opening further.

So the twin Sala trees sent a message to the guide, indicating that the spiritual liquid was insufficient.

The guide was speechless. He didn't care about the heartache and took out the remaining spiritual liquid, sprinkling it all over the twin Sala trees.

Originally, the Guide Daoist wanted to leave some for his precious disciple to use for cultivation, as the first batch of fruits from the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots was not easy to obtain again.

But now, in this time of crisis, what use is the spiritual liquid if the person is gone? So they simply used it all up.

As the spiritual liquid dripped in again, the twin Sal trees swayed their branches in comfort.

But under those two deathly gazes, they dared not delay any longer and hurriedly continued to urge the spiritual flowers to grow.

The nine flower buds finally continued to bloom. As the flowers bloomed, Jieyin and Zhunti saw for the first time what this spiritual flower with the effect of Nirvana looked like.

The flower is shaped like a pagoda, with its branches pointing outwards like swords, and its overall color is a gradient of red and white.

As soon as the nine spiritual flowers matured, their exotic fragrance instantly filled the entire Mount Sumeru, invigorating all who smelled it.

"Truly a wondrous flower!" exclaimed the Daoist Zhunti.

The guide stepped forward, and a spiritual flower from the twin Sala trees drooped down, breaking the connection and presenting it to the guide.

After receiving the spiritual flower, the guide threw it to Ksitigarbha, who was sitting cross-legged under the twin Sala trees.

As soon as the spirit flower touched Ksitigarbha, it transformed into a stream of light and entered Ksitigarbha's mouth.

In just a moment, a faint trace of life force emanated from Ksitigarbha's body.

The Guide Daoist stepped forward to examine the situation, and under the questioning gaze of the Zhunti Daoist, slowly said, "Ksitigarbha's life force is already there; the rest depends on himself!"

Having done all they could, the two could only sit cross-legged beside Ksitigarbha, protecting their most beloved disciple.

Little White had already been lying prostrate beside Ksitigarbha, silently cultivating.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and five hundred years have passed in a flash.

In the primordial chaos, the struggles intensified.

In the eastern lands, Emperor Jun and Taiyi continuously integrated various ethnic groups and expanded their own power.

The power of the Eastern King Duke grew stronger and stronger, and at some point, he found three immortal mountains in the East Sea: Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou.

The abundant resources of these three sacred mountains attracted cultivators to join, initially showcasing the grandeur of ten thousand immortals paying homage.

It is worth mentioning that,

At the foot of Mount Buzhou, twelve powerful beings, led by Dijiang, claimed to be descendants of Pangu, called themselves Ancestral Witches, and declared to the primordial land that the area at the foot of Mount Buzhou was the territory of the Witch Clan, and that no one was allowed to approach it.

Houtu, who was listening to the Daoist patriarch preach, was also among them.

Shortly after the announcement, people from the Wu tribe, who called themselves Wu, began to emerge from the bottom of Buzhou Mountain.

They were filled with malevolent energy and fed on all things. Several races living at the foot of Buzhou Mountain were slaughtered by the Wu tribe within a hundred years, and all of them were turned into blood food.

This bloody scene made everyone in the prehistoric world clearly realize that this group of witches was not to be trifled with.

In the Western lands, most of the cultivators who were initially drawn there by rumors of treasures have now returned to the East.

First, it was already known that it was not a treasure, but rather two powerful beings from Mount Sumeru in the West;

Secondly, the western lands are too barren, with scarce spiritual energy, making cultivation impossible.

However, a few people remained in the West.

Some of them were trying to escape the chaos in the East.

Several others, having heard of the two Daoists' great battle against dozens of innate saints outside Mount Sumeru, admired them and wished to become their disciples.

In Mount Sumeru,

Centuries have passed, and Ksitigarbha still shows no sign of awakening.

However, neither Jieyin nor Zhunti were worried at all.

They could clearly feel that the vitality within Ksitigarbha's body was becoming increasingly strong, even stronger than before the second lecture.

Erdao guessed that when Ksitigarbha awakened, his cultivation would inevitably advance further, so he simply stopped paying attention to Ksitigarbha and only devoted a wisp of his mind to him.

Two more Daoists, who had severely injured and suppressed several innate saints during their battle at Mount Sumeru, are now in meditation and have sensed something, guessing that they will sever their evil corpses.

Therefore, he focused most of his attention on understanding his own evil thoughts and concentrating on breaking through his cultivation level.
