At the same time, Zhen Yuanzi heard a familiar voice again.

[Throughout the primordial era, the Daoist Ancestor Hongjun and the Demon Ancestor Luohou waged war, causing the destruction of the spiritual veins in the western part of the primordial world and the loss of countless lives. You successfully escaped this calamity and have been rewarded with: a Tier 12 Innate Destruction Black Lotus.]

The innate twelfth-grade Black Lotus of Destruction!

Zhen Yuanzi frowned. How could it be a 12th-grade innate Black Lotus of Destruction!

This is no coincidence.

The next moment, a black light rushed into the western part of the prehistoric land and landed in the central part of the prehistoric land.

A twelve-petaled black lotus flower manifested in the air, entering the innate number.

It was the Black Lotus of Destruction, the twelfth grade of the Innate Realm, the supreme treasure of the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

However, this innate twelfth-grade Destruction Black Lotus was not only dim in its luster, but also had many gaps on its surface, and still retained the aura of the innate supreme treasure Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and the Chaos supreme treasure Creation Jade Butterfly and Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

Clearly, the innate twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction was extremely damaged, and its innate spiritual light was impaired. It would take at least hundreds of millions of years to nurture it and restore it.

It cannot be simply nurtured; it must be nurtured with a primordial spiritual spring, or even a chaotic spiritual spring.

Zhen Yuanzi looked at the innate twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction in the sky with a hesitant expression. He was well aware of the battle between Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, which was also the reason why the innate twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction was damaged.

But what kind of person is Demon Ancestor Rahu!

His cultivation and supernatural powers are comparable to those of Hongjun Daozu, far surpassing all the innate gods and demons of the prehistoric world. His origins are even more like one of the three thousand chaotic demon gods in the ancient chaos.

Even though Demon Ancestor Rahu was ultimately no match for Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he still detonated the spiritual veins and physical body of the western prehistoric world, severely injuring Dao Ancestor Hongjun and incurring boundless karmic debts.

If Hongjun Daozu wanted to attain the Primordial Chaos Realm, he would have to put in a lot of extra hard work.

This shows just how ruthless and resolute the Demon Ancestor Rahu was.

More importantly...

If it were the God-Slaying Spear, Zhen Yuanzi wouldn't have acted this way.

Although the God-Slaying Spear is an innate killing treasure, it is still far superior to the innate twelfth-grade Black Lotus of Destruction.

However, the God-Slaying Spear was born from the primordial evil energy, which is different from the Destruction Dao of the Demon Ancestor Rahu. At most, it can be considered an unclaimed innate treasure, while the innate twelfth-grade Destruction Black Lotus is different.

This innate twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction was the Dao-attaining artifact of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, and also a supreme treasure for proving the Dao. It carries all the Great Dao laws of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, and it is hard to guarantee that there are no hidden methods left inside.

But what if we leave the innate twelfth-grade Destruction Black Lotus unattended?

However, this innate twelfth-grade Destruction Black Lotus is an extremely rare innate spiritual treasure, which can be used to entrust the three flowers of the primordial spirit, making it very precious.

There is no reason to turn a blind eye.

Furthermore, ignoring this innate twelfth-grade Destruction Black Lotus is also a potential hidden danger.

Don't forget, Zhen Yuanzi killed the Nine Nether Daoist.

For a moment, Zhen Yuanzi found himself in a dilemma.

"Unfortunately, the innate twelfth-grade Pure White Lotus in the Chaos Spirit Spring is not yet mature. Otherwise, we could use the innate twelfth-grade Pure White Lotus to suppress this innate twelfth-grade Destruction Black Lotus first."

Zhen Yuanzi once again thought of the immature, 12-petaled Pure White Lotus.

Although the Pure White Lotus of the Twelve Innate Grades is not one of the four innate twelve-grade lotus flowers, it shares a similar essence with the Golden Lotus of the Twelve Innate Grades of Merit.

It can subtly restrain the innate twelfth-grade Destruction Black Lotus.

After a while, Zhen Yuanzi came to the Twelfth Grade Innate Destruction Black Lotus and examined it carefully.

This innate 12th grade black lotus of destruction not only looks extremely damaged on the outside, but its interior is also very dilapidated, with cracks and gaps everywhere. It is severely damaged, and the aura it exudes is even slightly inferior to that of the innate 9th grade black lotus.

"In that case, we can give it a try." Zhen Yuanzi's eyes lit up.

Immediately, Zhen Yuanzi summoned the Yin-Yang Two Elements Lamp, a primordial spiritual treasure, and used the primordial Yin-Yang True Fire to entangle the 12-petaled Black Lotus of Destruction. He then rode on auspicious clouds towards Longevity Mountain.

As for the treasure trove of the Qilin clan!

He no longer cared.

Moreover, the immeasurable eon has already ended, and it is likely that some great supernatural beings have already taken the lead.

Throughout the journey, the innate twelfth-grade Destruction Black Lotus remained unchanged, as if it were just an ordinary unclaimed spiritual treasure.

The more this was the case, the more Zhen Yuanzi felt something was wrong.

When the Yin-Yang Two Elements Lamp, a primordial spiritual treasure, was first created, there were various unusual phenomena, including the presence of the primordial Yin-Yang True Fire.

However, this innate twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction appeared unusually calm.

Even though the innate twelfth-grade Destruction Black Lotus was extremely damaged, with cracks and gaps everywhere, and still retained the aura of the innate supreme treasure Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and the Chaos supreme treasure Creation Jade Butterfly and Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, it should not be so calm.

Upon returning to the Wanshou Mountain area, Zhen Yuanzi sensed that the innate spiritual energy in the air had dissipated considerably, and the further west he went, the more it dissipated.

Fortunately, Longevity Mountain is one of the thirty-six grotto-heavens and seventy-two blessed lands of the primordial world. It can form its own grotto-heaven world and does not rely on the innate spiritual energy of the outside world. Therefore, it has little impact on the Demon Ancestor Rahu's detonation of the spiritual veins in the western part of the primordial world.

After passing through the Innate Earth Array, Zhen Yuanzi went directly to the Chaos Spirit Spring and placed the Innate Twelfth-Grade Destruction Black Lotus into the spring water. At the same time, he manifested the Three Flowers of Primordial Spirit, using the power of his primordial spirit's divine sense to slowly flow into the Innate Twelfth-Grade Destruction Black Lotus.

In an instant, a beam of black light suddenly shot out from the twelfth-grade innate black lotus of destruction, fell into the Chaos Spirit Spring, and transformed into the appearance of a black-robed Taoist, whose whole body was filled with murderous aura and hidden killing intent.

It was a remnant soul of the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

"The Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire!"

"A ninth-grade innate black lotus!"

Gazing at the innate ninth-grade black lotus within the Chaos Spirit Spring, Demon Ancestor Rahu stared grimly at Zhen Yuanzi and asked in a deep voice, "Was it you who killed Jiuyou back then?"

Back then, Demon Ancestor Rahu ordered Mingjiao to retrieve the innate ninth-grade black lotus.

Unexpectedly, the domineering aura left by the innate Yin-Yang True Fire made Mingjiao think of the Phoenix Clan, which led to a battle with a powerful Phoenix Clan cultivator. Mingjiao was almost besieged by the Phoenix Clan and could only return to the westernmost part of the prehistoric world.

However, to the surprise of Demon Ancestor Rahu, he saw the innate ninth-grade black lotus in front of him. Thinking back to the innate Yin-Yang True Fire just now, he immediately understood.

Looking at the remnant soul of Demon Ancestor Rahu, Zhen Yuanzi calmly said, "This humble Taoist Zhen Yuanzi greets Demon Ancestor Rahu."

"That Daoist Jiuyou was killed by me."

Zhen Yuanzi did not hide anything about killing Jiuyou Daoren and admitted it directly.

"Fine!" Demon Ancestor Rahu sneered, "It just so happens that I'm taking your body and spiritual treasures to repay the karma of killing Jiuyou."

As soon as he finished speaking, Demon Ancestor Rahu transformed into a streak of black light and charged straight toward Zhen Yuanzi.

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi immediately uttered a soft shout: "Primordial Purifying Divine Light, arise!"

The next moment, above the Chaos Spirit Spring, countless chaotic energies converged into one place, transforming into the essence of chaotic energy. They surged out from the immature innate twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus, overflowing with bursts of white divine light that shot into the sky, enveloping a wisp of remnant soul of the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

The moment the Primordial Purifying Divine Light encountered a wisp of remnant soul of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, it immediately emitted a crackling sound and bursts of black smoke.

"Primordial Divine Light that Purifies the World!"

Demon Ancestor Rahu's expression suddenly changed, his face filled with shock and anger, and he shouted, "This is the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus of the Primordial Heaven!"

Demon Ancestor Rahu never expected that he would encounter the Innate Twelfth Grade Pure World White Lotus at this time.

"Your Majesty Rahu has good insight," Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile. "This is indeed the Twelfth Grade Pure World White Lotus of the Primordial Heaven."

Looking at the still immature twelfth-grade innate Pure World White Lotus and the ever-increasing innate Pure World Divine Light, Demon Ancestor Rahu couldn't help but roar in anger, saying, "How unjust is the Way of Heaven!"

"It's not that my Taoist cultivation and supernatural powers are inferior to Hongjun's, but rather that Heaven's way is unjust."

First, Hongjun Daozu broke the Zhuxian Sword Formation with a group of innate supreme treasures and innate spiritual treasures, forcing Demon Ancestor Luohou to detonate the spiritual veins and physical body and primordial spirit of the western prehistoric world. He took the opportunity to use the innate twelfth-grade destruction black lotus to carry a wisp of remnant soul into the central prehistoric world.

Unexpectedly, he encountered the Pure White Lotus of the Twelfth Grade of the Primordial Spirit at this time.

Even though the innate twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus is not yet mature, it is still not something that the remnant soul of the Demon Ancestor Rahu can withstand.

Before long, a wisp of the Demon Ancestor Rahu's remnant soul vanished into thin air within the Primordial Purifying Divine Light.

Above the void, streams of merit and profound yellow energy descended, with a large portion of them entering the still immature twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus.

This caused the twelve-petaled Pure World White Lotus to bloom with ten petals, and the remaining meritorious and mysterious yellow energy was collected by Zhen Yuanzi using the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Diagram.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu detonated the spiritual veins of the western wilderness, committing boundless karmic transgressions. Zhen Yuanzi then unleashed the Primordial Purifying Divine Light, refining a wisp of Rahu's remnant soul. Heaven, moved by this, bestowed upon him the power of merit and virtue as a reward.

As a wisp of the Demon Ancestor Rahu's remnant soul vanished, only a broken, innate twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction remained, falling into the Chaos Spirit Spring.

This innate twelfth-grade Destruction Black Lotus is one of the four innate twelfth-grade lotuses, and is as famous as the innate twelfth-grade Creation Green Lotus, the innate twelfth-grade Merit Golden Lotus, and the innate twelfth-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus. It not only contains the laws of the Great Dao of Destruction, but can also suppress one's own fortune.

In the primordial world, there are quite a few innate spiritual treasures.

However, very few things can suppress destiny.

It can be said that Zhen Yuanzi's wealth has increased considerably.

However, the Twelfth Grade Innate Destruction Black Lotus was severely damaged, so Zhen Yuanzi could only place it on the side of the Chaos Spirit Spring, away from the immature Twelfth Grade Innate Purification White Lotus, and slowly nurture it with the chaotic energy.

However, Zhen Yuanzi's matter was not yet over. With a flash of light beneath his feet, he left Wanshou Mountain once again.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu detonated the spiritual veins of the western primordial world, causing not only a great shock to the primordial world but also creating chaos in the western primordial land veins. The energy of the land veins would gush out from time to time, and it has not subsided to this day. On the contrary, it has a tendency to intensify.

For Zhen Yuanzi, however, it was a meritorious deed.

Arriving above the western part of the prehistoric world, Zhen Yuanzi frowned.

The scene before us is more than just devastation and loss of life.

Looking around, there were collapsed sacred mountains everywhere, and the earth's veins were constantly churning, with fire raging into the sky, making it seem like a dead land.

It can be said that no living beings remain, and all innate spiritual energy has vanished.

"No wonder later generations said the Western world was barren."

Zhen Yuanzi muttered to himself, "Without the innate spiritual veins, even if the earth veins are properly sorted out, I'm afraid it will be difficult for innate spiritual energy to be born in the western part of the prehistoric world."

"However, for ordinary living beings, acquired spiritual energy is sufficient."

After speaking, Zhen Yuanzi revealed the Three Flowers of Primordial Spirit. Above a half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, the three flowers of primordial spirit hung high. Above the middle flower, the divine light of the innate Wu Earth rose into the sky, revealing a jade book that emitted a mysterious light. It was the innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Book.

The next moment, the innate spiritual treasure Earth Book fell into the void, and countless earth-yellow divine lights descended.

Wherever the divine light passed, the earth's veins gradually returned to their proper place, and the earth fire disappeared.

The Primordial Spiritual Treasure Earth Book is formed from the earth's membrane and is most adept at regulating the earth's veins.

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years have passed.

On this day, Zhen Yuanzi was sorting out the earth's veins in the far west.

This place is the Daoist temple of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, named Mount Sumeru, and is also the first blessed land in the western part of the prehistoric world.

Long ago, the Demon Ancestor Rahu obtained the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram at the foot of Mount Sumeru, and then secluded himself there to cultivate.

Unfortunately, the primordial western spiritual veins that Demon Ancestor Rahu detonated here on that day have made the ley lines in the far west the most chaotic.

Even if Zhen Yuanzi possessed the innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Book, he would still have to expend considerable effort.

………………

With the end of the immeasurable calamity, the three races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin went into seclusion, and the primordial world finally returned to peace, much to the excitement of countless living beings and races.

However, there was no joy to be found in the desolate western lands.

Even with Zhen Yuanzi managing the earth's veins, countless sacred mountains still collapsed.

Only one sacred mountain managed to escape disaster, and it can be considered the only remaining sacred mountain and blessed land in the western part of the prehistoric world. It is called: Babao Lingshan.

Within this sacred mountain of eight treasures, mist and clouds scatter their colors, and the sun and moon shimmer with light. Thousands of ancient cypress trees and ten thousand bamboo groves, shrouded in rain, are a verdant green; a path shrouded in mist is tinged with gray, exotic flowers adorn the gate like brocade, and fragrant herbs bloom by the bridge; peaches on the ridge are a riot of red, and lush grasses grow long and green at the cave entrance; everywhere are Bodhi trees and golden lotuses.

When the great god Pangu created the world, he left a wisp of his primordial merit on this mountain, which transformed into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool. Within this pool grow the Bodhi Spiritual Root and the Eight Treasures Merit Lotus.

At this moment, two Taoist priests sat facing each other beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool. Both were dressed in yellow Taoist robes, one with a compassionate expression and the other with a pained expression.

These two Taoists have addressed each other as fellow disciples since they took human form, calling themselves Jieyin and Zhunti Taoists. They cultivate on the Eight Treasures Spirit Mountain, spending their days meditating and practicing Qi.

This time, the Demon Ancestor Rahu detonated the spiritual veins in the western part of the prehistoric world, causing the earth veins of the Eight Treasures Spiritual Mountain to tremble and the spiritual veins to be damaged. Jieyin and Zhunti had no choice but to use their supernatural powers to barely protect the Eight Treasures Spiritual Mountain.

As for the rest of the place!

Both were powerless and incompetent.

"Senior brother, why is our western land so plagued by disasters?"

"First, the White Tiger extracted our innate Geng Metal Qi, causing a deficiency in our innate Five Elements. Now, the Quasi-Saint Great Divine Power has detonated our spiritual veins. I fear that our innate spiritual energy and all our spiritual roots and immortal herbs will be lost in the future. What will we do then?" Daoist Zhunti said with a sorrowful expression.

"I, your brother, also don't know what to do," the Guide sighed.

After this calamity, the western part of the prehistoric world will find it difficult for all living beings to cultivate, and will be far inferior to the other parts of the prehistoric world.

Unfortunately, neither of them had any solutions.
