Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 70 Searching for the Successor of the Daoist Tradition

Yang Mei had doubts about this, but he had no intention of asking or trying to retrieve the spiritual treasure. He no longer needed a primordial spiritual treasure to enhance his combat power as he had before.

Even without using magical treasures, he is now one of the strongest people in the world.

"Your Majesty, I am about to reach the pinnacle of your path, only one final step is needed for confirmation, but the two of us are already different."

"The successors of His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Earth have begun to verify the paths of the two emperors. I could also verify them, but I am unwilling."

"I want to go back to my own path. I've proven that your path is viable, but I don't want to continue down it."

"What I want to pursue next is my own unique imagination, to walk on the path I love most."

"That will be my path, and I should find a successor for it so that my lineage can be passed down."

He raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself.

After he said this, although no one heard him, he seemed to have let go of some knot in his heart, and his whole body became much more relaxed.

He rose from his seated meditation, raised his eyebrows, and walked to one end of the quiet room, where a huge scroll stood.

As the scroll is slowly unrolled, it reveals a portrait of a person dressed in golden armor with a dignified appearance.

The man's golden armor was adorned with nine lifelike dragon head reliefs, and his eyes exuded an air of domineering confidence, as if he were the only one worthy of the world.

It makes one afraid to look directly into the eyes of the person in the portrait; that gaze seems to be scrutinizing all living beings, leaving no place for the darkness in one's heart to hide.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at the portrait. After hesitating for a moment, he met the gaze of the person in the painting.

When the person in the painting saw Yang Mei's gaze, he seemed to smile, and his eyes, no longer sharp and stern, seemed to soften.

Suddenly the scroll began to burn. Yang Mei was somewhat surprised to see this, but he did not stop it and let the scroll burn to ashes in the flames.

From this day forward, he raises his eyebrows, no longer the heir to the Thai king's lineage, nor can he claim to be one.

He abandoned the path of the Thai King and decided to follow his own path.

He raised his eyebrows, waved his hand, and the space layered upon layered to form a passage, which he then stepped into.

On the way inside, he raised his eyebrows and exclaimed:

"Indeed, I still prefer the endless variations of space."

Thus, Yang Mei, the successor to the Thai royal lineage, died, but a new great deity reappeared.

Hollow willow, raising its eyebrows!

The spatial passage instantly brought Yang Mei to the prehistoric world. After sensing the surroundings, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Why is everyone heading towards Yunmengze?"

After a quick calculation, Yang Mei's expression turned strange. He couldn't predict much, only that a major event had occurred among the Water Gods, involving many Water Gods, including Yunmengze.

He raised his eyebrows and took a step forward. Countless spaces seemed to converge on him, and in just a few steps, he actually arrived at the edge of Yunmengze.

Yang Mei came here not to seek prayer, but to find the Ancestral Dragon.

He could sense that the Ancestral Dragon was near Yunmeng Marsh, but he didn't know exactly where he was.

Qi is unaware that Zu Long changes identities far too frequently. Despite his best efforts to hide, Qi cannot find him unless he enters Yunmengze directly.

Yang Mei's brows furrowed. He had now returned to his own path, but he still remembered the kindness the King of Thailand had shown him.

He wanted to find someone to carry on the Thai king's lineage. He recalled all the innate deities he knew, but felt that there were very few suitable people.

The only one qualified and willing to inherit it was Zu Long, so he had no choice but to search around Yunmengze.

Unfortunately, he also knew that the hope was slim. The primordial world was too vast, and the Yunmeng Marsh was too vast. It would be extremely difficult to find a primordial deity who was determined to hide.

Yang Mei could only set a timeframe. He would search for the Ancestral Dragon within five Yuanhui. If he found it, he would be the new successor of the Taihuang lineage.

If it cannot be found, then it can only be said that the First Emperor was destined to miss out on this opportunity.

He could only find a substitute among the innate saints he knew. Although that substitute was still relatively weak, Yang Mei could sense the ambition in his heart.

Only those with sufficient ability, means, and ambition can traverse the path left by the Thai Emperor, a path that surpasses the paths of the Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Emperor.

It surpasses even the Emperor's desire to unite with the Dao; if successful, its power will far exceed that of the so-called Heavenly Dao Saint mentioned by the Emperor.

The Dao Transformation Thought, which surpasses even that of the Earth Emperor, is not limited or affected by geographical boundaries.

The path of the Thai King gathers the fortune of heaven and earth and all living beings, and achieves enlightenment by coordinating the primordial fortune. It encompasses the fortune of the three realms. Once successful, his strength will far surpass that of Tongji.

Yang Mei currently has two main candidates for the succession of the Thai royal lineage.

The first is the Ancestral Dragon, who has now gathered the fortune of the primordial water system. Among the three races, he has the highest chance of succeeding.

Strength, ambition, talent, ability, and background are all top-notch.

The second one is Di Jun.

Yes, he did not choose Taiyi and Qi, but chose Dijun instead.

In Yang Mei's opinion, neither Qi nor Taiyi were suitable. They were similar to herself, both seekers of the Dao, pursuing only their own path and not being distracted by others.

Only Di Jun is suitable, as he was born on the Sun Star and is naturally in charge of the Yang energy of the world. He can be the head of the Star Gods and rule over the stars.

Born with the true destiny of a celestial being, controlling the sky, they only need to rule the primordial land to have the opportunity to prove their Dao.

Furthermore, he has many Daoist companions who are all top-tier innate deities in the world, possessing immense potential.

Its origins, abilities, and ambitions are all considerable; it was just born a bit late, and its strength is not yet up to par with the current primordial world. However, given time, its chances of attaining enlightenment are enormous.

As for Taiyi and Qi, Yangmei wanted them to inherit his lineage. He didn't need them to switch to cultivating the Dao of Space; they just needed to follow the path he had succeeded on.

He didn't think that space was something these two people preferred.

"Five Yuanhui, Ancestral Dragon, that's all the time I can give you. The rest depends on your luck and whether you have the destiny to be connected with the Taihuang lineage."

After saying this, Yang Mei turned and walked towards Yunmengze.

Little did they know that the two of them would brush past each other several times over the next five cycles, but neither of them noticed.

President Qi has a feeling that a distinguished guest is coming soon, but he doesn't know who it is. It's as if the guest has been circling around Yunmengze all along.

As soon as he gets close to Yunmengze, he is warned that someone will be coming, but the message he is given is that he should not go looking for them. This annoys Qi greatly, but he is helpless.

He wanted to go to Yun Mengze to warn him against it, but Yun Mengze kept reminding him that person was getting close.

After being tossed around by Yunmengze for tens of thousands of years, Qi finally chose to block Yunmengze's reminders. In that instant, Qi felt the world suddenly become quiet.

P.S.: I was busy with my vacation today, and I've already taken the leave. I'll start stockpiling drafts tomorrow. Ju Zi is going back to work tomorrow, and I wanted to ask him if there's a chance to get published in the Three Rivers Awards. Regardless of whether I succeed or not, it should be released on June 1st.

On the day of publication, there will be at least 10,000 words updated, followed by at least 6000 words in the next two days, and then it will depend on the situation.

Ho-Oh would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone for your continued support!
