Chapter 1: Pangu Opens Up the Sky

  Before the heaven and earth were separated, the whole space was dark and misty, without any vitality, no distinction between up and down, left and right, nor past and future. This is Hundun!

  After an unknown period of time, perhaps in an instant, or perhaps countless years, a green lotus emerged from the primordial chaos. This green lotus was one of the forty-eight varieties of Primordial Chaos Green Lotus. The lotus had five leaves and four flowers, among which was nurtured a single lotus seed. However, this lotus seed was different from the green lotus, with a purple color, slightly larger than a bowl.

  As time passed, the lotus seed finally matured, but it didn't fall off. Instead, it seemed to beat like a human heart, rising and falling continuously. At the same time, an inexpressible rhythm emanated from the lotus seed, making the entire Hongmeng space less desolate and more oppressive.

  As the lotus seed jumped, the primordial energy of the Hongmeng space seemed to be attracted, constantly gathering towards the lotus seed. With a "shrink" and a "swell", it repeated, and the vast primordial energy was absorbed by the lotus seed. With a "exhale" and an "inhale", the lotus seed seemed to beat mechanically without stopping, and for those gathered primordial energies, it was uninvited, completely devouring them all at once!

  Time seems to be stagnant in the Hongmeng space, or perhaps it doesn't exist. It can also be said that time is meaningless to Lianzi, but in any case, Lianzi has a new movement, and it leaves the chaotic Qinglian, floating alone on top of Qinglian.

  A low, muffled roar burst forth from the lotus seed, and then the lotus seed shook violently. A ring of ripples spread out from the lotus seed, and wherever the ripples passed, the primordial energy of chaos surged forward like boiling water, rushing towards the lotus seed with incredible speed. The phrase "drinking like a whale" was not enough to describe the speed at which the lotus seed absorbed the primordial energy of chaos; it was truly terrifying to behold.

  The surging primordial energy was completely absorbed by the lotus seed, which grew to the size of a washbasin in an instant, its growth speed terrifying.

  "Roar" was another loud bellow, with a hint of dissatisfaction, apparently even after growing so much, Lianzi was still not satisfied. Immediately afterwards, Lianzi shook continuously three times, and three ripples were sent out in succession, rapidly sweeping past the Hongmeng near Lianzi.

  The "HONG" Hongmeng space was thoroughly boiling, the sea rushing to compare with it, simply a small witch seeing a big witch. Countless primordial yuanqi flowed into the lotus like streams flowing into the sea, and were then absorbed by the lotus. Time flew like an arrow, and after an unknown amount of time had passed, the lotus finally grew to be as large as a water bucket. After that, the lotus stopped absorbing the primordial yuanqi.

  "Drink, transform!" A loud roar came from the lotus seed, echoing throughout the Hongmeng space. Immediately afterwards, the lotus seed began to rotate rapidly, stirring up strands of primordial energy. In an instant, a whirlpool slowly formed around the lotus seed as its center. Gradually, more and more primordial energy gathered near the lotus seed, and the whirlpool grew larger. Eventually, the whirlpool transformed into a lake of primordial energy, completely submerging the entire body of the Chaos Green Lotus. Yet, the lotus seed continued to rotate ceaselessly.

  The lake is getting bigger and bigger, and the lake water is all made up of the liquidization of the primordial chaos energy. As you can imagine, the amount of primordial energy in this lake water is enormous.

  Suddenly, the lotus seed stopped spinning. At the same time, the lotus seed began to absorb the lake water, and the lake water rapidly decreased. In almost an instant, all the lake water was absorbed by the lotus seed. A vacuum zone appeared around the lotus seed, with no hint of primordial energy remaining. However, this did not affect the transformation of the lotus seed.

  A loud rumbling sound kept coming from the lotus seed, and before long, suddenly, the lotus seed burst open with a loud noise. The outer skin of the lotus seed scattered and floated away, and at this time, a person appeared in the place where the lotus seed was. He was a majestic and powerful giant, and this giant was Pangu. Pangu's whole body was naked, his right hand held an axe, which was the Heaven-opening Axe, and his left hand held a jade butterfly, which was the Jade Certificate of Creation.

  Pangu grasped the Heaven-opening Axe and the Creation Jade Scepter in his hands, feeling very satisfied. Then he raised his head to look at the top of his head, furrowed his brow, and muttered, "The heavens have not been opened, and the transformation is without calamity."

  Pangu lowered his head and took a glance at the 48th Chaos Qinglian, and a smile also appeared on his majestic face. Then he looked at his naked body, and with a single hand gesture, the exploded lotus skin suddenly flew back to Pangu's front. Pangu held the lotus skin with one hand, and yuanqi continuously surged out of his hand. The lotus skin kept changing in Pangu's hand, and after a moment, it transformed into a pair of pants, or more accurately, a pair of briefs. There were several leaf-like pieces on the edge of the briefs, similar to lotus leaves. With a single toss of his hand, the briefs directly put themselves on Pangu's body.

  "I am Pangu, who created heaven and earth!"

  Pangu said this and suddenly appeared on the Green Lotus, sitting cross-legged on it. He placed the divine axe beside him, put the Creation Jade Plate on his knees, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate.

  Although the lotus seed of Chaos Qinglian is not simple, Pangu has just transformed and emerged, so Pangu cannot directly open up the sky and earth for now, and still needs to cultivate.

  After transforming, Pangu's cultivation speed undoubtedly increased dramatically, reaching an unimaginable level. Pangu also took this opportunity to indulge in his cultivation day and night.

  In the midst of chaos, time was not recorded. On this day, Pangu, who was in the midst of cultivation, suddenly felt a shock throughout his body, and a powerful aura spread out in all directions. Pangu took a deep breath and stood up from the primordial lotus.

  Pangu stood on the top of Qinglian, in this space, except for him and the Primordial Qinglian, there were no other living beings. Pangu silently closed his eyes, sensing this heaven and earth, he knew that soon it would be his moment to create the world.

  Suddenly, Pangu's eyebrows jumped, and he lightly exclaimed, "Huh, this is interesting. Since that's the case, I'll lend you a helping hand."

  After finishing speaking, Pangu grasped the Heaven-opening Axe and swung it forward. Suddenly, a time tunnel appeared in front of him, leading to an unknown destination.

  Then Pangu took the Heaven-opening Axe, and with a flash of light, he left the Primordial Lotus far away. Only to see Pangu holding the axe with both hands, raising it above his head, and striking it into the void with all his might. A loud explosion was heard, and the entire Hongmeng space shook violently. Immediately afterwards, the space seemed unstable, shaking constantly, and the earth, water, wind, and fire rushed out. Pangu saw this, and with a flick of his right hand, the Heaven-opening Axe suddenly transformed into three: one was the Taiji Diagram, which later belonged to Laojun; one was the Pangu Flag, which was later obtained by Yuanshi; and one was the Hunyuan Bell, which was later obtained by Donghuang Taishi, renamed as the Donghuang Bell.

  Pangu waved the Pangu flag, breaking open the Hongmeng. Suddenly, earth, water, wind, and fire poured out continuously. Then, Pangu took out the Taiji diagram and swung it forward. A golden arch bridge instantly spanned the void, with no end in sight.

  The earth, water, wind and fire that appeared on the golden arch bridge stopped surging in an instant, but the earth, water, wind and fire that had previously surged out continued to churn restlessly. Then Pangu took out the Chaos Bell again, holding it above his head, the bell ringing continuously, spreading throughout the entire Hongmeng space. The churning earth, water, fire and wind gradually subsided with the sound of the bell, then transformed into two energies, one clear and one turbid. The clear yang energy slowly rose to form the sky; the turbid yin energy also slowly sank to form the earth.

  Pangu held up the sky with both hands and stepped on the ground, using his great divine power to make his body grow rapidly. The heaven and earth also grew higher and thicker with Pangu's growth, and after 18,000 years, the shape of the heaven and earth was finally formed.

  At this point, Pangu's primordial energy was exhausted, his essence was gone, and he had already fallen. His body transformed into the myriad things: his left eye became the sun, his right eye became the moon, his hair transformed into the numerous stars, his blood turned into rivers, lakes, and seas, his flesh became the fertile soil of a thousand miles, his bones and teeth turned into underground minerals, his veins and arteries became roads, his body hair transformed into flowers, grass, and trees, his essence and blood transformed into flying birds and running beasts, his breath became wind and clouds, his voice became thunder, and his sweat became rain and dew.

  Pangu the Great God fell, his body transformed into a vast wilderness covering the earth, his head and limbs turned into the Five Sacred Mountains, while his spine became the fulcrum of heaven and earth, Mount Buzhou... His belly transformed into a sea of blood, that sea of blood was tens of thousands of miles in circumference, with rolling waves of blood, no fish or shrimp thrived, no birds or insects came near, all the malignant energy of heaven and earth converged here, this place is the Nether Blood Sea.

  At the moment when Pangu fell, three clear airs and twelve turbid airs transformed from his body's essence and blood flew towards the vast earth.

  Three pure energies in the Zhongji Tianzhu Buzhou Mountain's East Kunlun transformed into Taiqing Taishang Laojun, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, and Shangqing Tongtian Daoren. The three purities embodied the merits of opening up heaven without superior accomplishments. Therefore, during cultivation, heart demons do not arise, and various evils retreat. Consequently, the path of cultivating the Three Purities is exceptionally smooth and unobstructed. In a short period, one can attain the great Luo Golden Immortal's accomplishments.

  The twelve turbid Qi descended and transformed into the Twelve Ancestors of Witchcraft, which are:

  Jin Zu Wu

  Mang: The ancestor of wood is Wu.

  Gonggong: The Ancestor of Water

  Zhurong: Ancestor of Fire

  Tianhao: Ancestor of Wind Sorcery.

  Xuán Míng: The Ancestor of Rain, Wú.

  Qiang Liang: The Ancestor of Thunder, Wu.

  Hui Zhi: The Ancestor of Electricity

  Emperor Jiang: The Ancestor of Space and Speed.

  Candle Nine Yin: The Ancestor of Time Sorcery.

  Luxuriant comparison: The ancestor of weather is witchcraft.

  Houtu: The Ancestor of Earth

  These twelve ancestral witches were born with great spiritual powers, and they only cultivated their physical bodies, not their primordial spirits. This is because they were transformed from the essence of Pangu's blood, so their physical bodies are extremely strong and unmatched, and can be said to have been born with divine power.

  The Open Heaven Merit, where 40% is transformed into a Heavenly Earth Xuan Huang Linglong Pagoda. This pagoda is not stained by the ten thousand laws, and evil spirits do not invade. After refinement, it is placed on top of the head, in an invincible position, suppressing the flow of air with great efficacy, comparable to the Pre-Heavenly Supreme Treasure. Later, it was obtained by the Great Supreme Old Lord.

  The chaotic green lotus was a unique creation of the heaven and earth, so at the time of the opening of the sky, it was shattered by the heavenly way, and its five leaves transformed into the Five Elements Flags of the Pre-Heaven Spiritual Treasure - the Central Wuji Yellow Flag, the Eastern Qinglian Treasure Color Flag, the Southern Lidi Flame Light Flag, the Western Su Color Cloud Boundary Flag, and the Northern Xuan Yuan Controlling Water Flag. Its roots transformed into three spiritual roots, namely the Bodhi Tree, the Ginseng Fruit, and the Peaches of Immortality. The four lotus flowers transformed into the Four Directions Green Lotus: the Twelve Merit Golden Lotus, the Twelve Karma Fire Red Lotus, the Twelve Destruction Black Lotus, and the Twelve Purification Green Lotus. However, its stem transformed into the God-Slaying Spear Formation and the Exterminating Immortal Sword Array!

  The jade slip of creation cracked open and shattered, with a multitude of spiritual treasures drifting away into the void.

  Honghuang Cheng, the spiritual treasure in the void and the Taiji diagram transformed by the Heaven-Opening Axe, the Pangu flag and the Hunyuan bell, the creation jade slip, the Linglong pagoda and other things all turned into a stream of light, flying and sprinkling towards the vast land of Honghuang!

  At the same time, the first white cloud in the world was also drifting aimlessly and unconsciously on the vast continent of Honghuang.
