Chapter 4: Journey Through the Primordial Wilderness (Please add to your favorites, recommend, and invest!)

Over a period of more than 10,000 years, the three races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin have been conquering all kinds of creatures in the prehistoric world and occupying a large number of sacred mountains and blessed lands.

Even Zhen Yuanzi, who was far away in Wanshou Mountain, also gained many benefits.

[Throughout the primordial era, the Dragon Clan waged war against all other races, resulting in the deaths and annihilation of countless beings. You successfully escaped this calamity and have been rewarded with: Chaos Energy.]

[Throughout the primordial era, the Phoenix Clan waged war against all other races, resulting in the deaths and annihilation of countless beings. You successfully escaped this calamity and have been rewarded with: Innate Spiritual Essence.]

[Throughout the primordial era, the Qilin clan waged war against all other races, resulting in the deaths and annihilation of countless beings. You successfully escaped this calamity and have been rewarded with: Innate Spiritual Essence.]

Throughout the primordial era, the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan clashed, resulting in the deaths and annihilation of countless beings…

Almost every so often, Zhen Yuanzi would obtain some chaotic energy or innate spiritual essence.

As for innate spiritual treasures and innate spiritual roots, there are none.

Zhen Yuanzi was not disappointed by this; he accepted everything, whether it was chaotic energy or innate essence.

During this period, Zhen Yuanzi built a Taoist temple in the place where he transformed into human form, named "Wuzhuang Temple".

At the entrance of the Taoist temple hangs a couplet that reads: "The abode of immortals who live forever, the home of Taoists who live as long as heaven."

In the backyard of the Taoist temple, an orchard was built, planted with ginseng fruit trees with innate spiritual roots.

Looking into the distance, one sees only a desolate pine-covered slope and a tranquil bamboo path. White cranes come and go, carrying floating clouds, while monkeys occasionally offer fruit.

A wide pond lies before the gate, casting long shadows of trees; cracked stones are pierced by moss. The palace, majestic and imposing, rises high; its pavilions, ethereal and shrouded in crimson light, seem to have fallen from the clouds.

What a wonderful place, Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Hill.

Zhen Yuanzi then transformed a wisp of breeze and a ray of moonlight in the mountains into two Daoist boys and girls, about eleven or twelve years old, with delicate features, and named them "Qingfeng" and "Mingyue".

This gentle breeze and bright moon are not the same as those gentle breezes and bright moons.

It has nothing to do with Qingfeng and Mingyue in later generations.

(In later versions of Journey to the West, Qingfeng and Mingyue in the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain were only a little over a thousand years old, so they couldn't have been created at that time.)

Sunrise and sunset, and another thousand years have passed.

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but feel restless and once again had the idea of ​​traveling through the prehistoric world.

At this time, the three clans of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin had already established themselves, ruling over the scaled creatures, birds, and beasts of the primordial world.

As a result, endless fighting broke out across the vast and desolate land.

However, the great calamity of the dragon, phoenix, and qilin has not yet begun, and the prehistoric world is still relatively peaceful.

When the great calamity of the dragon, phoenix, and qilin begins, the primordial world will truly be plunged into calamity, and countless beings and cultivators will perish.

Among them are innate gods and demons like Zhen Yuanzi, and even Great Luo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saints with great supernatural powers.

However, the area south of Wanshou Mountain is the southern part of the prehistoric wilderness, a place where the Phoenix Clan gathers, not a place for travel.

In the central part of the primordial land, there lived the Qilin clan.

The eastern part of the primordial world and the four seas were the gathering places of the dragon race.

Neither of them are places to travel.

At this time, if one wants to travel through the prehistoric world, one can only go to the western and northern parts of the prehistoric world, as well as the north and south poles.

The western part of the prehistoric wilderness is deficient in the five elements, making it much more barren than the other parts of the prehistoric wilderness.

The northern part of the prehistoric world is very far from Wanshou Mountain.

As for the North and South Poles, they are freezing cold and have few living beings or cultivators.

After considering the situation in the prehistoric world, Zhen Yuanzi decided that it would be wise to travel to the northern part of the prehistoric world.

He then instructed the two attendants, Qingfeng and Mingyue, to keep a close watch on the Guan Temple, and then unleashed the Golden Light that Soared Across the Land to fly to the northern part of the prehistoric world.

After leaving Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi traveled along the way and saw that all kinds of ancient creatures were fighting endlessly, with few peaceful places.

It is evident that chaos had already arisen in the primordial world.

The primordial world is filled with countless races of living beings, and the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races are just one of them. If these three races want to completely control the scaled creatures, birds, and beasts of the primordial world, they will inevitably have to go through countless battles and killings.

"At this time, the three races of dragon, phoenix and qilin have not yet truly dominated the prehistoric world. They are merely conquering other living beings and races everywhere. When the three races truly dominate the prehistoric world, it will probably be the day when the great calamity of dragon, phoenix and qilin begins."

Seeing that the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans were arrogant and domineering, and that other races of prehistoric creatures were slightly disobedient, Zhen Yuanzi gathered his forces to attack them.

One can imagine that when the three races of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin dominate the prehistoric world, it will be difficult for other cultivators to travel in the prehistoric world, except for those with truly great supernatural powers.

To put it simply, in the primordial world, the strong are respected.

Even the three clans of dragon, phoenix, and qilin must show deference to a true master of supernatural powers.

"This is the true primordial world," Zhen Yuanzi exclaimed.

"However, all things in the universe have their own cycles, from prosperity to flourishing, and from flourishing to decline. There is no race in the primordial world that can prosper forever."

Seeing the current state of the prehistoric world and thinking about the future fate of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but feel a sense of enlightenment.

Under the great calamity of the dragon, phoenix, and qilin, hundreds of millions of beings from the three races perished.

Thus, the Dragon Clan was confined to the four seas, while the Phoenix and Qilin Clans became extremely difficult to find, and some even became the mounts of powerful beings.

"Traveling through the primordial wilderness, witnessing all the myriad forms of life, and comprehending the myriad things in the universe is also a way to refine one's heart in the mortal world."

"This journey through the primordial wilderness has been incredibly fruitful."

Zhen Yuanzi had some insights.

Spiritual practice is not about staying in seclusion and ignoring external affairs.

We must also experience the myriad aspects of life and understand the universe.

During this period of time, Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation and supernatural abilities increased almost daily, until he reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

That's when things gradually slowed down.

Above that is the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

To reach the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal and enter the ranks of the Great Luo, one must first understand oneself and establish the Three Flowers of the Primordial Spirit.

This requires great opportunity and great perseverance.

As Zhen Yuanzi's supernatural powers advanced greatly, his interest grew. Whenever he encountered a sacred mountain or a place rich in innate spiritual energy, he would go in to explore and collect spiritual roots and herbs.

Zhen Yuanzi's journey through the prehistoric world was not only driven by a desire for adventure, but also by a desire to test his own destiny and see if he could encounter any innate spiritual treasures or innate spiritual roots.

Now that the primordial world has just been created, there are countless immortal mountains on the earth, and everywhere is filled with innate spiritual energy. It is the perfect time to search for innate spiritual treasures and innate spiritual roots.

However, along his journey, Zhen Yuanzi only managed to collect a considerable amount of innate spiritual essence and spiritual roots and herbs.

Besides these, there are only two pieces of innate spiritual jade, which barely qualify as belonging to the top tier of innate beings.

There was no trace of any other innate spiritual treasures or innate spiritual roots.

Little did they know that many innate spiritual treasures were still in the process of being conceived and had not yet reached the time of their birth.

On this day, Zhen Yuanzi ventured deep into the northern part of the prehistoric world and found that the three races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin had become rare, and instead, wild beasts roamed everywhere.

This savage beast also has an extraordinary origin.

In the past, the great god Pangu created the world, and his body transformed into all things in the universe.

Then there was a race of savage beasts.

Among them are some savage beasts with the cultivation of Taiyi Golden Immortals, whose physical bodies are extremely powerful.

Like the legendary witch clan of later generations, the savage beasts also do not cultivate their primordial spirit; all their cultivation and supernatural powers reside in their physical bodies.

Fortunately, wild beasts lack intelligence and rely solely on instinct to kill and devour living beings.
