In the primordial era: the Wu tribe ceased its struggle for supremacy, and Hongjun collapsed!

Chapter 27 The Chaos Gourd

Tianxuan's figure appeared silently here.

He did not alert anyone, not even the high priest on guard duty outside the perimeter, who failed to notice Tianxuan's arrival.

At this moment, although the gourd vine was still full of spiritual energy after losing two treasure gourds, its originally brilliant seven-colored glow had dimmed a bit.

The vines swayed gently in the breeze, seemingly telling a story of sorrowful parting.

Tianxuan stood with his hands behind his back, calmly gazing at the innate spiritual root.

"The arising and ceasing of conditions are all predetermined. But in my eyes, even the predetermined can change."

He whispered to himself, then raised his hand and waved.

"Buzz"

The Time-Reversing Pearl flew out from between his eyebrows and hovered directly above the valley.

On the pearl, the phantom of the long river of time appeared and disappeared, exuding a time power that would make even a Great Luo Golden Immortal tremble.

As the precious pearl rotated, an invisible ripple instantly spread out, completely isolating the entire valley from the secrets of the outside world.

At this moment, with the oppressive aura of Pangu still lingering on Mount Buzhou, even if Dao Ancestor Hongjun were to personally arrive, he would be unable to deduce anything that was happening here without forcibly breaking the formation.

After doing all this, a strange and mysterious silver-white light suddenly appeared in Tianxuan's eyes.

The laws of destiny are activated.

In his field of vision, the original physical gourd vine and the remaining five gourds vanished instantly, replaced by countless intricate threads that shimmered with different lusters.

These threads are the "fate" of all things.

Tianxuan's gaze swept past the green silk thread that represented vitality and creation, and finally settled on the treasure gourd at the end of the vine, which was purplish-black in color and had the most obscure aura.

In the original course of the Heavenly Dao, this gourd was destined to wither due to malnutrition.

At this moment, in Tianxuan's vision of destiny, the fate line of this purplish-black gourd was as thin as a spider's thread, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to break at any moment.

The reason it hasn't completely broken is entirely due to the fate lines of the other four gourds and the immense vitality of the gourd vine itself, which are forcibly pulling and maintaining it.

"Just as I thought."

Tianxuan nodded slightly, a playful smile curving his lips. "Inherently deficient, it incurred the jealousy of the Heavenly Dao. This purplish-black gourd contains chaotic energy, which is inherently incompatible with the orderly world of the Primordial Era, hence it has been suppressed to this state."

He stretched out his hand, his fingers gently plucking at the air, as if playing an invisible ancient zither.

"Zheng Yi"

A clear, melodious string sound seemed to echo in the void.

"Four gourds, divided among the twelve ancestral witches, would never be enough, and would only easily create discord. Since that's the case, it's better to give this one the opportunity to create a true clan-protecting treasure."

Tianxuan's eyes shone brightly, and the terrifying power of a Primordial Golden Immortal poured out without reservation.

"melt!"

With a low shout, he pressed his long, jade-like hand down sharply.

In an instant, an overwhelming force of destiny forcefully intervened in the causal cycle of the gourd vine.

Tianxuan flicked his ten fingers in rapid succession, like the most intricate weaver, forcefully pulling the fate lines representing the other four treasure gourds from the void.

These lines of fate trembled violently, as if resisting the destiny that was to be erased.

"In my domain, I am destiny."

Tianxuan snorted coldly, and silver light surged from his fingertips as he forcefully and precisely wove the four thick threads of fate into the precariously crumbling threads of fate on the purplish-black gourd.

At this moment, an astonishing change occurred in the real world.

Suddenly, the other four treasure gourds hanging on the vine began to tremble violently. Their originally solid forms began to become transparent, transforming into four streams of extremely pure innate primordial light.

These four streams of light, like rivers flowing into the sea, surged wildly into the purplish-black gourd.

"Boom—!!!"

A thunderous roar, as powerful as the creation of the world, resounded from the small valley.

The purplish-black gourd seemed like a bottomless pit, greedily devouring the brothers' essence.

As the four-colored light flowed in, the originally shriveled and dull purplish-black gourd began to expand and become rounder at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its purplish-black color deepened, and gradually, ancient and weathered divine patterns appeared on it.

These divine runes are not the Dao runes commonly used in the primordial world, but rather more primitive and wild chaotic runes!

As the last ray of light entered, the entire gourd vine trembled violently, and most of its originally emerald green leaves instantly turned yellow, clearly indicating that its essence had been completely extracted.

The purplish-black gourd had changed drastically.

It was jet black, yet it faintly shone with a noble radiance of purple and gold.

Hanging there, the surrounding space was slightly distorted, as if it were a giant black hole in itself, from which even light could not escape.

A terrifying aura, surpassing even that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, slowly spread out.

"It's done."

A hint of joy flashed in Tianxuan's eyes as he reached out and grabbed at the air.

"Clatter".

The ripe, dark purple gourd fell from its stem and obediently flew into his palm.

It feels heavy in your hand, as if you are holding an ancient sacred mountain.

Tianxuan's divine sense probed into it, and instantly, a vast and desolate world came into view.

There is no sky, no earth, only a hazy, chaotic current of air churning. Countless fragments of the shattered continent float and sink in the chaos, and from time to time, earth, water, fire, and wind rage, evolving into all sorts of terrifying scenes of destruction.

"Containing within it a shattered, chaotic world—"

Tianxuan carefully sensed the information in the gourd, his smile growing wider. "Not only can it contain all things, but it can also absorb enemies. In this chaotic world, there is no spiritual energy, no laws, only endless chaotic assimilation power. Even a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal would be assimilated into chaos within a short time. If I were to wield it, even a Quasi-Saint would perish without a supreme treasure to protect them!"

"You were born of me, so from now on I will call you Chaos Gourd."

Tianxuan examined it with satisfaction for a while, then slipped it into his sleeve. This treasure would later become one of the foundations of the Witch Clan.

After putting away the gourd, Tianxuan's gaze fell once again on the almost dead gourd vine.

Although it has lost all its essence, it is still one of the ten innate spiritual roots. Even in its withered state, its material is still an excellent material for refining weapons.

Moreover, beneath these vines lies a clump of soil shimmering with nine-colored light.

The Nine Heavens' Breath Soil.

"These two things are the key to Nuwa's future attainment of sainthood."

With a wave of his sleeve, Tianxuan uprooted the withered gourd vine and, along with the large mass of Nine Heavens Breath Soil, stored it all in his personal space.

"Nuwa's creation of humans was the inevitable course of Heaven. This gourd vine transformed into the Creation Whip, and the Breath Soil became the physical body of the human race—this cause and effect, my Wu Clan will keep for you for now."

Tianxuan was making plans in his mind.

When Nuwa wants to create humans in the future, she will inevitably ask for these two things. At that time, not only can we do her a favor and make Nuwa incur a karmic debt, but we can also share in the merit of creating humans, which is entirely beneficial and harmless.

After dealing with all of this, Tianxuan removed the concealment of the Time-Reversing Pearl.

The valley returned to calm, but the gourd vine that had amazed the wilderness had vanished.

Tianxuan's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
