Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 40: Pangu's Will Commands the Earth; Five Races Offer Up the Earth; The Five Directions Grand Array of Heaven and Earth Suppresses Luo Lian.

But now, his remains, drawn by the fortune of the Ancestral Dragon and his companions, are solidifying into his final, lingering will. Surrounding the former remains, accompanied by a roar: "In the name of my White Tiger Ancestor, I awaken the will of the White Tiger Clan, offering the last of the White Tiger Clan's fortune and remnant soul, pleading with the will of the Western Lands."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

In the five directions of heaven and earth, countless remnant souls and countless phantoms rise up, drawn by the flow of fortune. These are the birds, beasts, scaled creatures, white tigers, and black tortoises that have once fallen.

These illusory figures evolve and manifest along with the Qi (vital energy). Such changes stem from Di Qing's exploration and development of the Qi system. In comprehending the Qi system, Di Qing discovered that this mysterious phenomenon does not perish with the death of a cultivator.

On the contrary, as cultivators perish, their fortune remains in their remnant souls or corpses. Perhaps in the future, there is reincarnation, and this fortune will also be reincarnated and integrated into their next life.

Normally, this fortune would be hidden away with the fallen cultivators. But now, Di Qing, with the command of the five clans, has awakened these fallen cultivators and their fortune.

After all, they were once members of various scaled, beast-riding races. Their past fortune was also linked to the fortune of their race. Now, they call upon them with their essence and blood, draw them in with their fortune, summon their fallen fortune, and then use that fortune to condense their phantom images.

These phantoms are scattered throughout the primordial world. In the eastern lands, apart from the Kunlun Mountains, phantoms of scaled creatures, beasts, and birds can be found everywhere.

In the land of the Southern Wind, countless phantoms of avian races roam. To the north dwell the Black Tortoise, and to the west, the White Tiger…

These numerous phantom images are the traces of the deaths of cultivators from the five races after their division and the years of development and warfare that followed. They are scattered throughout the prehistoric world.

Secondly, the five clans were once known as the Five Elements Divine Beasts Clan, and their destinies were intertwined. Therefore, even if the White Tiger Ancestor died in battle, they could still rely on their past connection to find the White Tiger Ancestor and awaken the lingering spirit of the fallen White Tiger Clan.

On the other hand, the Qilin Ancestor relied on Mo Lin. After all, Mo Lin was the Qilin Ancestor's younger brother. Now that he had abandoned his physical body and sacrificed his essence and blood, he could naturally control the Qilin Ancestor's body and accomplish all of this.

When the five divine beasts of the past were all revived with the restoration of fortune, their lingering resentment, drawn by the changing fortune, was imprinted on the land where they once fought. With their lingering resentment and the restoration of fortune, they connected with the land they had once conquered.

Although he can communicate with the earth beneath his feet through his lingering resentment, he ultimately cannot control the earth.

While the Five Elements Divine Beasts clan could hardly do it, Di Qing could.

As he sensed the lingering resentments of the five races' cultivators throughout the primordial world, and felt the surging of their destiny, Di Qing also shouted: "With the destiny of my Wu race, connected to the destiny of the beasts. Following the destiny of the beasts, communicating with the scaled creatures, birds, the Black Tortoise, the White Tiger… the method of destiny—the cycle of destiny lasts forever!"

"Then, with the essence and blood of my Wu clan, I will awaken the will of Father God Pangu, and with Father God's will, command the earth and control the earth..."

At that moment, the blood within Di Qing's body reversed, flowing smoothly with the flow of Qi and blood to nourish Bu Zhou. The other members of the Wu clan experienced the same thing, their essence and blood flowing smoothly with Bu Zhou.

Finally, the will of Pangu, which had been dormant within the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar, slowly awakened. That awakened will, through the communication of destiny, also connected with the destiny of the scaled, beast, and bird races.

They also connected with the earth through the very essence of their race's destiny. And from within the earth, they sensed the dormant will of Pangu.

Awakening of will, communicating with the earth, controlling the earth. At that moment, the eastern land churned, stirring up the vast energy of the earth.

The southern lands churned, their energy surging with the flow of fortune. Then came the north, the west, and finally, the central land of Buzhou.

The five directions of the primordial world were all stirred by the awakening of Pangu's will. However, because Pangu's will was drawn by destiny and controlled the earth by the lingering resentments of the five races of cultivators imprinted in each of the five directions, the amount of lingering resentment among the five races of cultivators determined the amount of earth energy stirred and the extent to which Pangu's will was awakened.

The East has the most, followed by the South, then the Center, then the White Tiger, and finally the Black Tortoise. But that's enough.

The sweeping energy of the five directions of the earth also surged along with the fortune.

Emperor Qing, Ancestral Dragon, and Phoenix Ancestor also roared: "Qi Destiny Formation - Five Directions of Heaven and Earth Grand Formation".

In an instant, the cycle of Qi began, and the five directions of heaven and earth also began to cycle. The Qi of the earth surged and rolled, alternating and pulling along the earth's veins, as if they had become a whole.

At this very moment, Luo Lian detonated himself, detonating the Western Demonic Land he had refined over many years, detonating the Ancestral Dragon Vein he had collected over many years, and also detonating the Immortal Slaughtering Array Diagram he had crafted…

Luo Lian detonated everything he could, including his demonic body formed from condensed chaotic blood.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The deafening roar and the shattering heaven and earth all froze in an instant.

At that moment, heaven and earth trembled, all living beings wailed, and everything was destroyed with that roar. And everything was plunged into despair with that roar.

The vast wilderness and the endless earth trembled with such a roar, causing earthquakes and landslides.

Such destructive power, accompanied by a roar, swept across the west. Then, following the Qi Luck Array - the Five Directions Array of Heaven and Earth, the boundless power and endless destruction were transferred to all parts of the primordial world.

In an instant, the lingering resentment scattered throughout the primordial wilderness vanished, and the fragmented fortune scattered everywhere dissipated...

When the five directions of heaven and earth could no longer find any trace of war between the scaled and armored beasts and other races, nor any remaining remnants of cultivators, the earth trembled once more, causing countless mountains and rivers to collapse.

...

After hundreds of millions of years, the roar that swept across the entire primordial world gradually subsided.

The moment it dissipated, the sky shifted, shrouded in endless darkness. A long river, its origin and destination unknown, slowly emerged.

That long river was so vast and so profound that cultivators, upon just a glance, would be drawn into its depths, losing their senses as it flowed by, and sinking into the Great Dao.

Even a powerful figure like Di Qing could barely resist the allure of such a long river and barely comprehend its vastness.

"Hiss... This, this is the Great Dao River!" Di Qing rose from the endless waves with an incredulous look in his eyes, barely able to see the Great Dao River while being enveloped by the Primordial Treasure, the Temple of Wisdom.

The moment Di Qing looked at the Great River, he knew its name, its origin, and its mysteries.

This long river rolls in, rushes down, divides into three thousand streams, ripples in the endless void, and also ripples in all the suffering of the primordial wilderness.

It seems that throughout the primordial world, traces of this great river of Dao flowed everywhere. Yet, these traces remained unseen by anyone. It was only because of the terrifying power unleashed by Luo Lian's self-destruction, which tore apart the primordial world, that Di Qing and other cultivators were able to witness this great river of Dao.

The moment they saw the Great Dao River, many insights flooded the minds of Di Qing and the others. It was as if these insights were all told to them by the Great Dao River itself. Otherwise, Di Qing and the others would have had no idea that the river before them was the Great Dao River. They would have had no idea that in this primordial world, there existed such a terrifying Great Dao River, such a profound and mysterious scene of the Great Dao.

This great river of energy is the condensation of all the great Daos in the primordial world. It is also the origin of all the great Daos in the primordial world. How this great Dao evolved is unknown. How long this great river of energy has existed, and what its significance is, is also unknown.

At this moment, whether it was Di Qing or Zu Long, looking at the Great Dao River, they all felt their own insignificance. Compared to the Great Dao River before them, their own Dao and their cultivation level were like ants.

"So we are so insignificant. We have cultivated diligently for many years and comprehended countless great Daos, but compared to the true Great Dao, we are utterly insignificant." Zu Long murmured, his whole body filled with frustration and loss.

"Compared to this vast river of the Great Dao, the Great Dao we have comprehended is probably not even worth a drop of water in it. What exactly is this vast river of the Great Dao? And how was it formed?" the Phoenix Ancestor wondered.

Unfortunately, no one could answer the Phoenix Ancestor's question, nor did anyone know the answer. At this moment, Di Qing merely murmured, "Legend has it that in the chaos, the Great Dao evolved into demons and gods, and the demons and gods in turn became the nourishment of the primordial world. It can be said that the Great Dao is the source of everything, the beginning of everything. Perhaps this long river of the Great Dao is the source of the primordial world, the origin of the primordial world, the beginning of the primordial world."

Such a long and mysterious river captivated cultivators, making it difficult for them to extricate themselves.
