This unreserved trust stemmed from Wugu's previous life-saving grace and the virtue of their discussions, as well as her intuitive judgment that Wugu was an open-minded person and definitely not a petty villain.

When Yuan Feng's divine sense entered the sub-body of "The Chronicles of the Heavenly Emperor" and came into contact with its contents, even with her knowledge and composure as the Phoenix Queen, she was instantly shocked to the point of near numbness.

"This...this...this..."

She observed the complete experiences and insights recorded on the homepage regarding the creation of the Great Dao, as well as the introductions to opening up the Dao, understanding the Dao, and integrating the Dao. Every word was precious, pointing directly to the origin.

Turning the page reveals "Pangu's Nine Revolutions," "Nine Revolutions Profound Skill," "Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill," and other unheard-of supreme profound skills.

Next come the Nine Forms of Heaven-Opening Axe Technique, the Heavenly Emperor Fist... world-shaking combat techniques.

Further on, there is a complete inheritance of alchemy, weapon crafting, array formation, and even countless great and small supernatural powers...

Its vast content, comprehensive system, and lofty ideals are simply beyond imagination.

This is no longer a simple compilation of cultivation techniques, but a guide to a higher realm.

Seeing Yuan Feng's shocked and speechless expression, Wu Gu smiled slightly and reminded her:

"Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng, you may pass on the supernatural powers, pills, artifacts, formations, and other inheritances recorded in this book to those of your clan who are willing to protect the primordial world, so as to strengthen the foundation of your clan and enhance its strength."

However, core profound techniques such as the "Nine Revolutions of Pangu" involve the fundamental inheritance and causal relationships of many top clans in the prehistoric world. Their importance is paramount and they must not be easily passed on to outsiders. They can only be comprehended and cultivated by oneself; otherwise, it may bring about the annihilation of one's clan.

Wugu knew that the cause and effect of the primordial world was extremely important, so he deliberately pointed out the advantages and disadvantages, otherwise it would harm the Phoenix Clan.

At the same time, Wu Gu's divine senses raced, recalling the previous battle. He had already deduced that Yuan Feng must possess one of the Five Primordial Banners, the Flame Banner of Departure from Earth, which she hadn't used during the battle, presumably as a trump card against the Beast King.

Even without taking action, the Phoenix Clan, as one of the protagonists of the next great calamity, could not be easily destroyed, and the fortune of heaven and earth would naturally protect them.

After Yuan Feng calmed down a bit, when she looked at Wu Gu again, her eyes had completely changed, filled with indescribable gratitude and a trace of subtle, complex emotions.

It was gratitude for being saved, recognized, and taught, awe of vast knowledge, and perhaps even a touch of instinctive admiration for the strong.

Indeed, power and wealth are assets for men, no matter when or where.

Wu Gu keenly noticed the subtle change in Yuan Feng's eyes, but a strange ripple stirred within him.

"Why don't I feel much?" he asked himself.

Sensing this unusual activity, Wugu directly stated his trade request.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng, I need three things: first, a branch of the vital energy of a top-grade innate spiritual root, the paulownia tree; second, the Earth-Leaving Flame Banner of the Five Innate Banners; and third, a seed of the purest Southern Bright Fire (or an even better seed)."

Yuan Feng now had complete faith in Wu Gu. How could she possibly refuse such an incredible opportunity? And how could the three treasures mentioned above compare to even a fraction of the value of the book she had obtained?

Without hesitation, Yuan Feng immediately activated her profound power to remove the primordial spirit imprint between herself and the Flame Banner, and solemnly handed the radiant innate banner, which radiated the essence of flames and the divine light of warding off evil, to Wu Gu.

Afterwards, she personally led Wugu to the forbidden area of ​​the Phoenix Heavenly Palace—beneath the towering, fiery-cloud-like, and vastly vibrant innate spiritual root, the Wutong tree.

Wu Gu summoned the Primordial Measuring Ruler, surrounded by primordial energy. The ruler's tip swiftly swept across, precisely plucking a section of the main branch that possessed the most vitality and spiritual charm.

The movements were fluid and graceful, demonstrating masterful control over power.

After cutting off the branch, Wugu immediately drew upon the Three Lights Divine Water to drip onto the wound on the paulownia tree, and used the Five Elements Sealing Heaven Divine Power to perfectly seal the wound, helping it to heal quickly.

The severed branches were also nourished with divine water and sealed with the Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Technique, and carefully placed into the Yang Fire Acupoint for warming.

To express his gratitude and for his long-term investment, Wu Gu also took out a small piece of Nine Heavens Breath Soil and placed it deep within the roots of the paulownia tree. With his unparalleled array cultivation, he used the Nine Heavens Breath Soil as the array eye to inscribe the Everlasting Creation Array and the Three Lights Divine Water Gathering Spirit Array.

The two arrays combined can continuously gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the vitality of creation, and the light of the sun, moon, and stars, which not only nourish the spiritual root but also allow the Nine Heavens Breath Soil to grow continuously.

The paulownia tree, imbued with spirit, sensed the kindness and help of the shaman, its branches and leaves swaying gently, exuding a strong sense of closeness and gratitude.

As for the tinder, Yuan Feng said that although the ordinary Southern Ming fire tinder was strong, it was not worthy of Wu Gu's generous gift.

She decided to go into seclusion and, with her own Phoenix Nirvana Dao as the core, personally nurture a Nirvana True Fire Seed containing the true meaning of Nirvana, which she then gifted to Wugu. This fire was even more profound than the Nanming Li Fire, possessing the mysteries of life and death, reincarnation, and destruction followed by creation.

After the transaction was completed, both parties found the most spiritually abundant secret realm of the Phoenix Clan and began their seclusion.

Before sinking into a meditative state, the question that had been lingering in Wugu's mind resurfaced:

"Yuan Feng is a woman of unparalleled beauty and grace, with a figure as swift as a dragon and a movements as graceful as a startled swan. She is also exceptionally talented. She has clearly developed feelings for me, so why do I remain so calm and unmoved?"

"Yes... Through long years of cultivation and endless contemplation of the Dao, my divine sense and my emotions seem to be getting closer and closer to the absolute rationality and indifference of the Dao."

The vivid emotional memories belonging to "Wugu" as a "human," the joys, anger, sorrows, happiness, love, and hatred of those short twenty years of life on Earth... are gradually being diluted and covered by the vast laws of the Great Dao.

"This is absolutely not what I want to see," Wugu's Dao heart warned.

"Emotions are the colors of life, the driving force of our original aspirations. If we become completely emotionless machines, what difference is there between us and lowly beasts devoid of intelligence? Even if we achieve the highest level in the future, we will no longer be complete."

In the blink of an eye, Wugu used the terrifying computational power of his third level of Dao to instantly deduce countless possibilities, and finally locked onto one method—to create a clone to express his feelings and preserve his true self.

Without further hesitation, he sank his divine sense into the deepest part of his primordial spirit, carefully searching for the short twenty years of human memories that had been squeezed into a corner by the vast sea of ​​memories, yet remained the source of his life, and all the human emotions closely connected to them.

He completely condensed this unique mark, which carried his original appearance and original intention, into a single, purest primordial divine thought.

Then, his gaze fell upon the three clones that had been conceived within the large barrel formed by the Nine Heavens Breath of the Yellow Plum Tree above the Tanzhong acupoint.

Among them, the clone nurtured by the pure energy of the Supreme Purity is the most agile and unrestrained, tenacious and unpredictable.

Wugu slowly integrated this primordial divine thought, which contained all "humanity" and "emotions," into the primordial spirit of this clone.

"From this day forward, you will be called 'Wu Jun' (Martial Lord)."

Wugu bestowed this name upon him with a hope that he could, in the future, experience, feel, and live alongside humanity as a "human," experiencing the vibrant human world that he might never again be able to personally possess.

After the fusion was completed, Wugu used his great supernatural powers to completely seal his clone "Wujun" and placed it in the large barrel of the Nine Heavens Breath Evolution to nurture it, to be arranged when the human race was born.

Next, Wugu split off two more "Heavenly Emperor Chronicles" sub-bodies, which were then placed into two other clones nurtured by the Qi of Taiqing and the Qi of Yuqing, respectively.

The Taiqing clone possesses a pure and inactive temperament, while the Yuqing clone is orderly and well-ordered.

Wugu named them "Xingchen" and "Tianjie" respectively, meaning to deduce the universe and to wield heavenly punishment, each performing their own duties.

Having done all this, Wugu's divine sense completely calmed down.

Wugu will continue to forge ahead on the supreme path of the Great Dao, but he does not yet know why he will become entangled with Yuanfeng in the future.

However, the spark of "humanity" has been preserved in the clone "Martial Lord," so there is no need to worry about completely losing "humanity."
