Chapter Eighty-One: Point of Transformation

  At this time, Honghuang had only experienced 1 million years, and the pre-heavenly spiritual energy was abundant in many places, already liquefying into water. Moreover, in any place within Honghuang where spiritual energy was abundant, it transformed into patches of fog clouds completely formed by the aggregation of spiritual energy.

  Innumerable spiritual roots are scattered throughout the vast expanse, but the essence of plants and trees is inherently weak and small. The awakening of spiritual intelligence almost requires a great deal of luck, especially for those born with strong innate spiritual roots, which can hardly take shape in one's lifetime. However, once spiritual intelligence is awakened, due to their natural affinity with nature, they blend into nature, absorb spiritual energy, and store it, making them almost unparalleled among other living beings in the vast expanse. Therefore, the numerous plant spirits in the vast expanse often become the prey of other living beings.

  This is also the result of the evolution of heaven and earth.

  In the vast expanse of the wilderness, treasures and rare elixirs were scattered everywhere, with spiritual roots visible all around. Hong Jun journeyed through the clouds, taking in the diverse scenery of the wilderness, gaining insight into the wonders of creation, and encountering some rare and precious spiritual roots, which he would casually collect along the way.

  If this desolate land were without all these killings, it would truly be a magnificent sight to behold.

  Hongjun gazed at the mountain valley in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, another blessed place for immortals. The mountain valley was filled with misty clouds, white fog lingering, like a dream, like an illusion. The essence of the sun and moon's energy accumulated, auspicious air burst forth, rainbow lights shone in all directions, radiant arrays, just like an immortal realm!

  Hong Jun stepped forward, seeing a natural formation blocking the way. His eyes shone brightly as he gazed through the entire valley. He saw the mountain peaks rising and falling, emitting spiritual energy in waves. A strand of yellow light appeared and disappeared, surrounded by a misty aura. The earth's pulse was rolling with yellow energy, constantly condensing and dispersing. He calculated with his fingers and burst out laughing: "The pre-heavenly earth energy has condensed and transformed! After the opening of heaven, the pre-heavenly spiritual root is the ginseng fruit tree. Cultivating for millions of years, it's just waiting for today's opportunity. Alright, I'll let you have it today."

  Hong Jun swung his hands and stepped into the valley, under the premise of not breaking the Hui Zhen array. A towering tree rose before him, its trunk thousands of feet high, with a circumference of seven or eight thousand zhang at its base. The branches and leaves were intertwined, blocking out the sky and sun. The green leaves were luxuriant and dense, casting deep shadows. The leaves themselves resembled banana leaves, but were covered in strange, intricate patterns that seemed to be a natural wonder. Golden light flickered on the branches, shining with dazzling brilliance that made it hard for people to look directly at it.

  A phoenix-like auspicious cloud revolves, and in the golden light, a ginseng fruit appears, resembling a child. Hanging from the branch, its limbs move wildly, nodding and shaking its head, seeming to make sounds as the wind passes by.

  This ginseng fruit tree blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years. It takes another three thousand years to mature, and nine thousand years produce thirty fruits. If a person has fate, hearing its fragrance can live for 360 years. Eating one can live for 47,000 years.

  Hong Jun stretched out his hand and pointed, a stream of mysterious yellow air containing the power of creation, mixed with the cultivation method, floated towards the ginseng fruit tree.

  Only to see that ginseng fruit tree slightly trembled, the branches of the ginseng fruit jumped wildly, as if making a bowing gesture, seemingly thanking this enlightened person.

  Hong Jun smiled faintly and said, "You are also a person with great fate, I will give you another chance at good fortune." The mysterious yellow energy inside his body surged forth, rushing towards the continuously gathering and dispersing yellow energy at the bottom of the earth.

  The rolling yellow air was instantly enveloped by the mysterious and profound aura of the mother of all things, emitting a joyful cry that pierced through the barriers of heaven and earth. In the void, an illusory dragon and phoenix appeared, as boundless heavenly energy, the essence of the sun and moon, and the dragon's pulse from the earth merged into a vortex and surged into this illusory dragon and phoenix. As large amounts of heavenly essence merged in, the body of the dragon and phoenix gradually solidified.

  Golden phoenix spreads its wings, resonating through heaven and earth. Golden dragon leaps forth, its roar echoing across the divine realm. At this moment, the remaining essence of the three tribes of the Primordial Chaos, not yet dispersed, is drawn in by the Dragon Phoenix Treasure Record, transforming into whirlpools that merge within.

  Hong Jun nodded and said, "This Dragon and Phoenix Treasure Record, which was formed by the heavenly membrane of the universe, can mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and cover all things in the universe. With the emergence of this treasure record, the fate of the three tribes of Honghuang has also been largely determined by the Heavenly Way. It's useless to force it, let's see the destiny of each of the three tribes."

  Hong Jun's heart moved slightly, and he heard a deafening "rumble" sound coming from his mind.

  As I looked up, my gaze pierced through the void and reached the chaos. In the midst of the chaos, a colossal figure stood tall, swinging an axe to chop at the chaos. The massive sound was the sound of the Heaven-Cleaving Axe shattering the sky! Suddenly, the earth, water, wind, and fire emerged from the chaos. If given enough time to evolve, these elements would slowly transform into the four spirits of heaven and earth; accompanied by a series of deafening roars, the chaos shook violently. Wherever the axe struck, the chaotic energy transformed into heavenly spiritual energy, among which were five special primordial energies: blue, yellow, red, black, and white. These were the pre-heavenly five-elemental spiritual energies that gave birth to the roots of the five elements in heaven and earth.

  The divine axe of the sky god cleaved apart the primordial chaos, forming the ethereal and heavy gases. The ethereal gas rose to form the heavens, while the heavy gas sank to form the earth.

  However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth produced by heaven and earth, including the pre-heavenly five-element spiritual energy, did not merge into the newly opened heaven and earth, but instead continued to revolve and condense, transforming. A white light sphere floated between heaven and earth, its radiance flowing and turning, with the patterns of heaven and earth and the shadows of all things covering the entire sky vault. At this time, a black light sphere suddenly appeared out of thin air, revolving around that white light sphere! At the same time, the white sphere also moved, responding to the black sphere, rapidly revolving! The two spheres revolved and merged together, with the power of heaven and earth being constantly extracted by the two black and white light spheres.

  Only in the sky, a black and white sphere rotated into a Tai Chi diagram! The outline of this Tai Chi diagram had just formed, and the eyes of that majestic body shone with divine light. Two beams of pure light emerged, which were the essence of Pangu's yin-yang power. This yin-yang power directly merged into the yin-yang of heaven and earth. Suddenly, a brilliant light burst forth, and the yin-yang fish took shape. Yin contained yang, yang carried yin, and yin-yang flowed in an endless cycle of life!

  The spiritual energy of the entire universe and its fundamental power have been almost completely extracted, leaving only the basic spiritual energy and power that sustain the operation of the universe.

  "That's the Taiji diagram!" Hong Jun felt incredulous, this newly opened up world, actually merged the power of heaven and earth, forming a huge Taiji yin-yang diagram. Could it be that this newborn world only had the basic power to sustain life, which was also too terrifying.

  The Taiji diagram lingered in the air for a moment before transforming into a heavenly treasure that flew towards the depths of chaos.

  "Bang!" The heavenly axe that opened the sky seemed to be unable to withstand this enormous power, and it suddenly shattered into a vast expanse of black and white mist, covering the sky and blocking out the sun! The white part shone with boundless light, illuminating all directions. But when this light reached the black part, it was instantly swallowed up. The black part devoured everything, submerging all things.

  The two clusters of fog slowly merged, forming a grayish-white mass. Within this misty veil, a faint glow flickered, as if the fog itself was breathing, emitting a soft, rhythmic hum that seemed to reverberate through the air in waves. The sound was indescribably beautiful, like the music of the heavens or the celestial melody of the Tao. This enchanting voice involuntarily drew one's body into its rhythm, moving in harmony with it.

  At this time, the body of ten thousand feet spewed out a mouthful of vital energy. This was the primordial chaos energy from Pangu's original body, which had been dormant for 10,000 years. The primordial chaos energy quickly refined the gray misty fog, forming an ancient flag. Chaos yuanqi surged in from the chaos and was absorbed by this ancient flag.

  At this time, a divine thought came to Hong Jun, "Fellow Taoist, this is the primordial spirit of Pangu's original body, transformed from the chaotic energy. I call it the Pangu banner, used to guard the Pangu executive mind yuan Shen, okay."

  Hong Jun let out a sigh, bowed to the void and said: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for taking care of me. It's just that this newly opened realm is somewhat special, and I'm having trouble guessing the intentions of my original self."

  Indeed. You are him, he is not you, your understanding of the universe and the world is different. This world is his understanding of the world, it doesn't need spiritual energy or the power of heaven's way, only needs ordinary self-evolution. I call it the mortal realm. Fellow Taoist, don't worry, Pangu's true body contains infinite power and mystery, perhaps there will be variables.

  Hong Jun said, "It is still necessary for fellow Taoists to guard the mortal world. Fellow Taoist's nature is originally non-action, which coincides with the wish of this deity. However, the power of that mortal world is too weak, which makes one worry."

  "Fellow Taoist, you worry too much. The operation of the universe has its own rules and destiny, no one can forcibly intervene. When that time comes, it may be a catastrophe in the mortal world, but the way to resolve it is not up to you or me, it's up to the Great Way."

  Perhaps after completing all sorts of things, the body of ten thousand feet in height and width will be free from regret, slowly falling onto the thick and turbid air, transforming into a square world.

  The scene of opening up the sky and earth in chaos made Luo Hui's heart, which was sealed in the underworld, unable to calm down for a long time. As the remnant of Pangu's soul memory, Luo Hui saw this magnificent and majestic scene of breaking through the chaos and re-establishing heaven and earth due to the traction of his vital energy.

  The thread in his heart originating from Pangu's unwillingness to create heaven and earth began to disperse.

  To shatter chaos and recreate the world with one's own strength is a magnificent feat, and even in death, there would be no regret.

  To transform oneself into all things and give birth to countless ones is a magnificent feat; to die without regret.

  Luóu's entire body and mind seemed to be rapidly sublimating at this moment, the Tao in his heart was no longer biased, the demonic energy on his body had reduced a few parts of its evil nature, and increased a lot of its orthodox nature.

  This newly opened world seems to be special, without the original power of cultivation, why is it so, and how should such a heaven and earth operate. By the way, how does the Honghuang world I am in operate?

  I only know there is a heavenly way, what is the function of the heavenly way, for balance?

  For this world's sake, Tiandao once sealed the remnants of Moxing Pangu's soul, but then through another means, allowed it to see the light of day again.

  I am the remnant soul of Pangu's gestation and growth. Am I or am I not Pangu? Even if I condense Pangu's true body, will the Heavenly Way be willing?

  I'm willing to dissipate myself, I don't know. Lie Tian is a separate entity that has grown from me, with independent thoughts and the way in his heart, if I devour him, will he be willing?

  There were also nine-headed demonic lions who had independent thinking and their own way.

  Some chaotic and disorderly thoughts flowed in his mind, but along with these thoughts, his temperament and cultivation were constantly changing. Perhaps when he finally understood, he really changed.
