Primordial Era: I, Hongyun, take charge of the literary path

"Then, whose reincarnation am I?"

Hongyun couldn't help but ask himself this question, but he quickly shook his head and gave up. He was himself, not someone else's reincarnation.

Hongyun was curious about the imperial era, and even earlier times, but for now she could only keep it to herself.

If your cultivation level is insufficient, exploring these secrets could easily lead you into the traps of those old monsters.

Hongyun continued to study the Devouring Yuan Pearl. Besides the fragmentary information, the Devouring Yuan Pearl also sealed a divine power called "Devouring Heaven and Earth".

Once this supernatural power is unleashed, it can devour all living beings, all tangible and intangible things, theoretically including fortune and concepts.

However, devouring a concept requires a large amount of mana and has certain cultivation requirements; at least a Great Luo Golden Immortal is needed to perform it. If Hongyun were to forcibly devour a concept with his current cultivation level, he would likely suffer a backlash.

"As expected of the Devouring Ancestor's divine power!"

Hongyun muttered to himself. He was now at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and it was far from enough for him to devour concepts, but it was still possible as a cultivation method.

By using the Devouring Divine Power to absorb the righteous energy of heaven and earth, Hongyun's magical power accumulation can be increased by at least ten or a hundred times.

Next, Hongyun tried to cultivate the Devouring Heaven and Earth technique. With his current cultivation level, it was still easy for him to get started. The Taiyi level was not as low as the Golden Immortal level.

At one point, the light around Hongyun dimmed, as if it had turned into a black hole, and the hole gradually expanded, as if it had been swallowed up by something.

The energy and matter in the world were devoured and transformed into the surging magical power within Hongyun's body.

Soon, Hongyun stopped. The power of Devouring Heaven and Earth had been greatly depleted, and he was somewhat unable to make ends meet. This was mainly because he had too little understanding of this divine power.

A minor achievement should be able to balance income and expenditure, a major achievement should be able to receive more than it costs, and can be used for normal cultivation. Perhaps only at the perfect level can one achieve the ability to devour concepts.

After putting away the Devouring Yuan Pearl, Hongyun began to think about how to improve his physical strength. The first thing he would do was take medicine. If his talent couldn't keep up, then he would take medicine to improve it.

"Then let's refine a batch of pills."

Hongyun first used the Great Sun Divine Pill, and this time, when refining the Eight-Turn Golden Pill, she added the paulownia seed as an auxiliary material.

The seeds of the paulownia tree can increase one's magical power by three thousand years with just one seed, and they also contain fragments of the law of fire, which are of great help in cultivating fire-based techniques.

Hongyun doesn't need to increase his magical power; all he wants are fragments of the Law of Fire. When one's talent is insufficient, lightning and fire are the best methods for body tempering.

Thinking of this, Hongyun took out the alchemy furnace, gathered a Golden Crow Grass, a portion of Sunlight Divine Water, several fiery red paulownia seeds, and other materials.

The Eight-Turn Golden Elixir, also known as the Taiyi Golden Elixir, is not easy to refine. Hongyun was prepared for failure, but fortunately, he had accumulated a lot of materials over the years.

The Hundred Herbs Painting is filled with medicinal herbs, and the annual yield is enough to fill a mountain, and there are countless mountains of them.

As Hongyun began refining pills, the conflict between the three clans intensified, finally erupting on this day.

In the primordial East Sea, within the Dragon Palace.

At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon sat on the throne in the Dragon Palace, exuding an imposing and domineering aura. He possessed the cultivation of a peak-level Golden Immortal and was currently the strongest fighting force of the Dragon Clan.

On either side of the Ancestral Dragon were several dragon thrones, where the five Dragon Emperors sat. They were all at the early stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm and possessed extraordinary strength.

The five great dragon emperors of the dragon race are Azure Dragon, Heavenly Dragon, Candle Dragon, Black Dragon, and Ying Dragon.

Below them are all Great Luo Golden Immortals. Although they are not particularly prominent in the Dragon Clan, they would definitely be overlords or ancestors of their respective clans in the outside world.

Zu Long surveyed the crowd below.

"Everyone, our clan is now quite powerful. I intend to unify the primordial world, gather boundless fortune, and attain the Great Dao. What do you think?"

The crowd echoed, exclaiming, "Our dragon race is full of experts; unifying the prehistoric world is only a matter of time!"

"Haha, pass on my order: from this day forward, the entire clan shall prepare for war. A hundred years from now, we will march upon the primordial wilderness."

After hearing this, no one had any objections. They were all eager to fight and were all belligerent.

The First Emperor decided to launch an expedition into the primordial world a hundred years later, and this decision was quickly learned by Rahu.

Luo Hou snorted coldly: "A hundred years? That's too long. I can't wait any longer, Ancestor."

At this moment, Rahu had a feeling that the longer the time dragged on, the lower his chances of attaining enlightenment would be.

"Demon, how are your preparations going?"

Rahu summoned a burly man whose body was engulfed in flames and who had long, crimson horns on his head.

Rahu has seven demon messengers of emotions and six desires: joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, lust, and the demon messengers of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and mind.

The Seven Emotions and Six Desires Demon Envoys are all Great Golden Immortals, and can be considered powerful henchmen of Rahu.

As for demon kings at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal level, Rahu did not have any, which was one of the reasons why Rahu was causing trouble in secret—he simply didn't have many people under his command.

"Reporting to the Demon Ancestor, the arrangements you instructed have been largely completed. We await only your command, and then we can begin our operation," the demon replied loudly.

Upon hearing this, Rahu was overjoyed.

"Very well, demon, you have not disappointed me. Quickly issue my orders and begin the operation immediately, ensuring that everything goes smoothly."

"As the Demon Ancestor commands!"

The demons obeyed and left Mount Sumeru.

"Heh, a hundred years? Ancestral Dragon, I'll make you start a war in a year." Rahu revealed a sinister smile.

At Rahu's command, the spies hidden among the dragons began to take action.

Not only the dragon race, but the same scene also occurred among the phoenix race, the qilin race, and other races.

Before long, news of their deaths came back one after another, which enraged the high-ranking members of the three races. Even the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the Primordial Qilin, who were preparing for battle, were alarmed.

Upon closer investigation, the three races discovered clues pointing to the other two races, leading them to believe that the other two races were behind it all, instantly deepening the hatred between the three races.

In the heart of Mount Sumeru, Rahu smiled with excitement as he read the reports of victory sent by his subordinates.

"Good, good, good, well done! Absolutely no flaws. So many of your descendants have died, let's see how you can sit still now! Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Sure enough, less than a year later, a great war broke out between the dragons, phoenixes, and qilin, with the three races fighting fiercely.

In an instant, the primordial world became chaotic and murky.

The malevolent aura between heaven and earth intensified, and the Netherworld Blood Sea expanded at a visible speed.

In the primordial East, in the Jade Capital Mountain.

Looking at the malevolent aura in the world and the three tribes waging war against each other, Hongjun knew that Rahu had made his move.

The three races are caught in a calamity, yet they show no remorse, creating boundless karmic debts of slaughter. Their fortunes have waned, and there is no way to reverse the situation. They are destined to be rejected by the Heavenly Dao.

The war between the three races broke out. Hongyun, who was in the innate formation, naturally knew about it and said that the fight was well done.

Who allowed the three races to bully his incarnation?

Hongyun also coveted the treasure vaults of the three races, but since they had only just been opened to the public and the three races' main bases were still secure, it was not yet the right time to make a move.

However, while he couldn't touch the treasure troves of the three races, the treasure troves of the clansmen who died in battle, including those of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin, as well as the treasure troves of their affiliated races, were also Hongyun's targets.

In order to reap the spoils of this war, Hongyun created three thousand clones, each of whom was at least a Golden Immortal. In order to create these clones, the Boundless Cloud Sea shrank by a fraction.

Upon witnessing the outbreak of the decisive battle among the three races, Hongyun dispatched three thousand clones to harvest the treasures of each race for him.
