Primordial Era: Reborn as Zhen Yuanzi, taking control of the underground passage

Chapter 203 Yuan Feng's Message

However, the merit-making did not end there.

There are still some relatively small, but still considerable, golden streams of light.

As if guided, it traversed space and flew precisely to all the creatures that had participated in the restoration project, including the Emperor, Zhenwu, the Western Spirit Beast, the Qilin, the Black Jade Qilin, and the Nine-Headed Primordial Saint, who had already returned to the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain!

The Emperor, Zhenwu, and others were resting in the temple when they suddenly felt a divine blessing descend upon them. They were both surprised and delighted, and quickly and respectfully accepted it.

Although they only obtained a portion, it was still an immense opportunity for them, enough to consolidate their cultivation, improve their foundation, and deepen their understanding of the Great Dao.

The entire Wuzhuang Temple was immersed in an atmosphere of peace and joy.

The merit descended and lasted for a long time before slowly dissipating.

The strange phenomena of heaven and earth disappeared, and the western continent still appeared somewhat empty and desolate.

But that sense of desolation and death has completely disappeared, replaced by a tranquility and hope, like the calm after the rain, when all things await revival.

Zhen Yuanzi felt the vast merit stored in the Book of Earth, and then looked at the Wanshou Yuanjun, whose aura was even more profound, and Hongyun, who had a smile on her face. His heart was clear.

He knew that restoring the West was not just about repaying karmic debts and accumulating merit.

Furthermore, it proved its ideals and capabilities to the primordial world, especially to the hidden "tunnels".

He demonstrated through his actions what the "Way of the Earth" means—not only bearing, but also nurturing, restoring, encompassing, and reincarnating!

"Now that this matter is settled, the foundation has been laid."

Next, we must wait for the right opportunity, observe Hongjun's attainment of enlightenment, and then—it will be my turn in the Earthly Path to shine.

Zhen Yuanzi gazed into the distance, his eyes seemingly piercing through layers of void, landing on the complete Chaos Spiritual Treasure Six Paths Reincarnation Disc deep within the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Boundless heavenly merits descended, and the dazzling golden light gradually merged into heaven and earth, while the melodious imperial edict slowly dissipated.

Although the western continent still appears vast and barren, its mountains and rivers are far less beautiful and magnificent than before.

But the lingering sense of desolation and death has been completely swept away, replaced by a tranquility and faint vitality of surviving a catastrophe and all things waiting to be revived.

Deep within the earth, the restored ley lines, like a sleeping dragon, slowly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, beginning to nurture new vitality. This will take a long time, but at least, hope has been sown.

Zhen Yuanzi felt the vast and boundless power of merit within the Earth Book, and his heart remained calm and undisturbed.

He looked at the majestic Wanshou Yuanjun standing beside him, radiating the Daoist aura of reincarnation, and conveyed his thoughts to her: "You have worked hard this time, fellow Daoist. Most of the resentment in the West has been purified, and your foundation is now established."

The Six Paths of Reincarnation is a crucial element of the Earthly Path and cannot be lost. Fellow Daoist, you must return to the Sea of ​​Blood to continue your meditation and contemplation, deepening your connection with the Six Paths of Reincarnation in preparation for future needs.

The grand will of the Longevity Sovereign resounded, carrying a hint of indifference towards reincarnation and the unwavering resolve of her true self: "Rest assured, my true self, the Blood Sea and the Reincarnation Disc are yours to handle."

Having said that, the enormous tree slowly rose from the western earth, its countless roots carrying a powerful spiritual light from the earth and rocks, before shrinking back into its original form.

The tree trunk swayed, tearing open a blood-red spatial passage leading to the underworld. The next moment, carrying that chilling aura of reincarnation, it disappeared into the passage.

The western heartland is now just a huge crater, and a more pristine and peaceful environment.

After seeing off Wanshou Yuanjun, Zhen Yuanzi smiled at Hongyun and said, "Now that this matter is settled, let time take its course. We should return to the temple. We've been away for quite some time, and I wonder how things are going back there."

Hongyun nodded in agreement, looking down at the desolate yet now utterly devoid of hostility land below, and sighed, "To witness firsthand the rebirth of a desolate place is a rare privilege. Fellow Daoist's actions are of immeasurable merit, and I'm sure the underground passage has also sensed it."

Without another word, the two transformed into two streaks of light, one dark yellow and the other crimson, and left the western land to which they had poured countless efforts, leisurely disappearing towards Longevity Mountain in the east.

They traveled in silence, and the familiar outline of Longevity Mountain came into view. The clouds and mist swirling around the mountain were still full of spiritual energy and peace, indicating that Wuzhuang Temple had been operating normally during their absence.

However, just as Zhen Yuanzi was about to step into the mountain gate area, his mind stirred slightly, and his brows furrowed.

A faint, yet familiar, aura.

Moreover, the light carrying a hint of urgency actually pierced through the void, ignoring the many restrictions surrounding Longevity Mountain, and appeared first in his primordial spirit's perception!

The message light was a magnificent crimson color.

At its core, a trace of the true meaning of Nirvana and immortality flowed, and its aura clearly belonged to Yuan Feng, who had made a vow to the Heavenly Dao to forever suppress the Southern Undying Volcano!

Zhen Yuanzi's mind raced, and he instantly captured and deciphered the message in the transmission.

The content was not complicated, and even somewhat brief, but the barely concealed weakness and pleading contained within it caused a slight surprise in Zhen Yuanzi's heart.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi—I am Yuan Feng. I apologize for disturbing you, but there is a compelling reason for it."

I earnestly request that, fellow Daoist, if you have the time, you would like to come to the Undying Volcano for a chat—I beg you.

The message ended there, without explaining the specific reason, but the solemnity in the tone and the faint sense of weakness were unmistakable.

Yuan Feng was such a proud being, the emperor of the Phoenix Clan, even though he is now in a state of decline and eternal stagnation.

Given his character, he would never lower himself to send such a message, almost a plea for help, to an "outsider" unless it was a truly difficult or even life-or-death situation.

Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi had suddenly stopped his escape and his expression was strange, Hongyun couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist, what is it?"

After a moment's thought, Zhen Yuanzi did not hide anything and said, "It was Fellow Daoist Yuan Feng who sent a message, inviting me to the Undying Volcano."

Judging from his tone, it seemed to be something important.

"Yuan Feng?" Hong Yun was also taken aback, her face showing doubt. "She swore to suppress the immortal volcano forever, almost completely isolating herself from the primordial world. Why is she looking for you now? Could it be that something has happened within the Phoenix Clan again?"

Or perhaps—something went wrong with that immortal volcano? His mind raced, considering all sorts of possibilities, but he couldn't be sure of anything.

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head: "It wasn't explicitly stated in the message. But judging from the tone, it doesn't seem like a trivial matter."

His gaze fell upon the nearby Wuzhuang Temple, then turned to the south, where he sensed an immense surge of fire element and suppressive power. He had already made his decision.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, please return to the temple first to oversee affairs and appease the cultivators. Since Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng has invited me, I must go and investigate," Zhen Yuanzi said.

He and Yuan Feng had discussed Daoist principles during the early Dragon-Han period, and they could be considered to have some mutual ties.

More importantly, he keenly sensed that Yuan Feng's invitation might involve more than just the orphans of the Phoenix Clan.

Perhaps it's related to the overall situation of the prehistoric world, as well as his own journey through the underground world. For both emotional and rational reasons, he has to go on this trip.

Although Hongyun was curious and slightly worried, he knew that Zhen Yuanzi acted according to his own methods and was by no means an impulsive person.

Since Zhen Yuanzi has decided to go, he must have his reasons.
