After bidding farewell to Yuan Feng, Wu Gu transformed into a stream of chaotic light, leaving the Hundred Thousand Volcanoes of the Phoenix Ancestral Land in the Southern Continent and flying westward.

At this moment, the aura of the great calamity of ferocious beasts weighed heavily on the hearts of all living beings in the primordial world.

During the flight, it was observed that the number and strength of the ferocious beasts had clearly increased to a new level. There were more and more ferocious beast overlords at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal. Wherever they rampaged, the earth's veins shattered, and the evil energy soared to the sky. The karma and evil energy were suffocating.

Wugu's divine sense, like an invisible net, covered hundreds of millions of miles around, still adhering to its original principles: operating the great array within its body to devour the malevolent and calamistic energy permeating the world, refining it into pure energy to strengthen itself.

When encountering fractured ley lines, it uses its supernatural powers to repair them and stabilize the foundation of heaven and earth; when encountering innate spiritual roots, divine metal veins, or even unclaimed spiritual treasure embryos, it collects them.

If you encounter a ferocious beast, kill it with the Heavenly Emperor Fist or the Five-Colored Divine Light, and seal its corpse into an "egg" and put it into your dantian.

Wu Gu was even more cautious about the primordial spirit of a Great Luo-level ferocious beast. He specially used the Five Elements Sealing Heaven Divine Power to seal it separately and put it into the boundless space within the Creation Divine Pearl, to be extracted and refined in the future.

Traveling and resting as he went, cultivating as he went, Wugu finally arrived at the edge of the prehistoric western continent.

A majestic mountain stands tall ahead, its imposing presence vast and magnificent. Although it cannot match the grandeur of Buzhou Mountain, which rises straight into the sky, or the ancestral home of Kunlun Mountain, its aura is still powerful and profound, forming its own unique style. Its spiritual energy and Taoist charm far surpass ordinary immortal mountains and blessed lands.

With a slight movement of his divine sense, Wu Gu looked inward at the primordial map of the world that Pangu, the father god, had given him, located in the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows. He carefully compared it and realized, "So this place is the abode of the immortals who live forever, the Longevity Mountain of the Daoist who lives as long as the heavens."

Since we've met by chance, it must be fate. Why not venture into the sacred mountain and explore it further?

After thinking it over, Wu Gu used his "Close to the Ends of the Earth" technique, and his figure flashed several times before he stepped into the territory of Longevity Mountain.

The mountains are rich in spiritual energy and lush with vegetation, yet they are also mysteriously permeated with a pure and profound essence of Earth.

Following the same method, Wu Gu used the search for the birthplace of the Three Pure Ones to spread his divine sense like mercury, carefully sensing the flow of spiritual energy and the fluctuations of the formation in the mountains.

With Wu Gu's powerful primordial spirit cultivation at the third level of the eighth stage of the "Pangu Nine Revolutions," he was able to locate a secret valley deep within the mountains within just a few years. This valley was tightly protected by a top-tier innate array.

Wu Gu remained outside the formation, his eyes swirling with Dao patterns as he began to comprehend the formation's mysteries.

This formation is perfectly natural, born from the very essence of heaven and earth. Based on the earth's veins, it can continuously transform innate spiritual energy into pure Wu Earth essence, which is extremely mysterious. It is the Primordial Wu Earth Grand Formation.

With Wu Gu's already extremely high level of array mastery, he had only spent a few decades analyzing this array. He meticulously inscribed the array's principles, key points, and the subtleties of its energy flow into the "Array Dao Chapter" of the "Chronicles of the Heavenly Emperor," further enriching its contents.

A closer look at the "Array Dao" chapter of the "Chronicles of the Heavenly Emperor" reveals that the records of array formations in the book have increased, and even the rudimentary form of the incredibly profound Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array has been added. This is precisely the array formation insights of the dispersed sub-hosts of the "Chronicles of the Heavenly Emperor," which are being synchronized into the main body of the "Chronicles of the Heavenly Emperor" controlled by Wu Gu through a mysterious causal connection of letters.

After deciphering the formation, Wu Gu stepped into it, his figure merging into the formation like ripples on water, and entered the secret realm.

Upon entering the secret realm, the rich, almost impenetrable essence of the Earth element rushes towards you, making you feel as if you are in the womb of Mother Earth, feeling profound and peaceful.

Wugu's divine sense instantly covered the entire secret realm, and the scene within surprised him slightly.

In the center of the secret realm, a towering tree, its branches and leaves resembling a canopy, shimmered with divine light and took root in the earth's spiritual veins. Its trunk was imbued with the Daoist essence of Earth and Wood, radiating a vast life force. It was none other than the top-tier innate spiritual root, the "Ginseng Fruit Tree."

Thirty-six fruits hung sparsely on the tree, their shapes resembling sleeping babies, with lifelike features, exuding an alluring fragrance of spiritual fruit.

Directly beneath the ginseng fruit tree, a massive, earth-yellow cocoon of light floated silently. Mysterious innate Dao patterns were faintly visible on the surface of the cocoon, which was absorbing the abundant Earth essence transported by the ginseng fruit tree and the earth's dragon veins.

Within the cocoon of light, one could vaguely see a creature in embryonic form being conceived, its aura closely connected to the earth, profound, serene, and peaceful.

What caught Wugu's attention even more was that deep within the cocoon of light, there was another treasure that accompanied it, emanating a rich aura of the earth. Judging from its power, it was clearly a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

The creature within the cocoon of light was clearly startled by the sudden arrival of Wugu, a powerful being. The cocoon trembled slightly, and a voice carrying a hint of tension and vigilance rang out.

"This humble Taoist priest, Zhen Yuanzi, may I ask who you are, senior, and why you have suddenly intruded into my nascent realm?"

Upon hearing this, Wugu's expression remained calm, and he replied in a clear voice:

"My name is Wugu, and I am a member of the Wu clan, inheriting the bloodline of the father god Pangu. I traveled through the primordial world to purify the evil energy of heaven and earth and repair the damaged ley lines. Passing by this treasure mountain, I sensed that this place was quite mysterious, so I came to explore it. I have no ill intentions."

Upon hearing that Wugu was a true descendant of Pangu and that he was open and honest in his words and deeds, Zhen Yuanzi's wariness lessened slightly, and the two began to communicate through divine sense.

Wugu spoke of the current state of the primordial world, the calamities caused by the great calamity of ferocious beasts, and his own ambition to protect the world.

Zhen Yuanzi, on the other hand, expressed his longing for peaceful cultivation and protecting the local area.

Through their conversation, Wu Gu could sense that Zhen Yuanzi was kind-hearted, had an extremely pure foundation, and was perfectly in sync with the Way of the Earth.

After the exchange, Wugu made a decision in his heart.

Wugu's expression turned serious, and his voice carried an undeniable authority:

"Zhen Yuanzi, I observe that your foundation is pure and profound, your heart is kind, and you are extremely compatible with the Way of the Earth. I earnestly ask you, are you willing to become my disciple, join my Buzhou Mountain lineage, become my first disciple, inherit my Dao, and together protect the primordial world?"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's mind was greatly shaken.

Although he had not yet taken human form, his intelligence had been awakened, and he knew how terrifying the being before him was. Its aura was as deep and boundless as the ocean, far beyond what ordinary powerful beings could compare to.

To be able to take such a great master as one's teacher is undoubtedly an immense opportunity.

After a moment's consideration, Zhen Yuanzi responded respectfully without any hesitation:

"Disciple is willing. Disciple Zhen Yuanzi pays respects to Master. However, since disciple has not yet taken human form and entered the world, I am unable to perform the full kneeling ceremony in person. Please forgive me, Master."

"It's alright." Wu Gu nodded slightly, formally accepting Zhen Yuanzi as his disciple.

Then, Wu Gu solemnly admonished:

"Since you have accepted me as your master, you should always remember to take it upon yourself to protect the primordial world, to revere and worship the Father God Pangu, and not to slaughter innocent living beings at will. You should diligently cultivate the Great Dao and inherit the indomitable will of the Father God Pangu."

"Disciple will obey Master's orders," Zhen Yuanzi replied respectfully.

Wu Gu's decision to take Zhen Yuanzi as his disciple was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The Great Luo Five Realms system he created—the five realms of Dao Opening, Dao Enlightenment, Dao Integration, Dao Evolution, and Mythology—is extremely difficult. It can be said that 99% of living beings cannot reach even the lowest level, Dao Opening.

However, according to Wu Gu's deduction, the most profound and almost conceptual fifth realm, the "Mythical Realm," has no clue how to cultivate. However, there are a very few special beings who may be able to reach a characteristic of the "Mythical Realm" in advance through some kind of "shortcut."

Zhen Yuanzi is one of the very few candidates who have the potential to "cheate" and reach the "Mythical Realm" ahead of time.

Our meeting here today is a preordained opportunity. How could Wugu miss such a talented individual? He will take him under his wing and nurture him carefully. In the future, he may become a seed for the mythical Great Luo.

From then on, Wugu had his first disciple.
