Huangting Grotto-heaven.
A blazing sun hung high in the sky, and a gentle breeze blew gently. The mountains, rivers, and vegetation were beautiful and tranquil, exuding vitality.
This seemingly ordinary scene was all the more precious to the citizens of the Western Region of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who had just experienced the destruction of the world.
"However …"
Wu Ming came to the side of the blazing sun. The scorching temperature did not affect him at all. Instead, there was a strange look in his eyes. "This isn't the real blazing sun, but a projection of the outside world … Indeed, without reaching the real world, even a Grotto-heaven can't be self-sufficient?"
Whether or not a world could exist independently and grow by absorbing nutrients from the chaos of the universe was a huge difference between a world and other Grotto-heavens and half-planes.
The original main shrine also had this function, but it seemed to be missing a key component, and its power was greatly reduced. Wu Ming had to go to other worlds to plunder its origin before he could use it.
"If I can find a few of the main shrine's incomplete parts, I might be able to recover part of the King of Divine Weapons' glory …"
Wu Ming pondered for a moment. With a thought, he found the location of a few people.
In the middle of a mountain.
The overflowing spiritual energy gathered in the cave on the mountainside, turning into wisps of mist. If cultivators saw it, they would most likely be envious.
The ones that Wu Ming had materialized in the Huangting Grotto-heaven were the best spirit veins of the Dazhou Western Region world. This mountain already had some spirituality. After tens of millions of years, it might even develop its own consciousness and turn into a heavenly mountain god.
"This mountain is filled with spiritual energy. With its power, I've returned to the Qi Refinement stage. However …"
In the depths of the cave, three people sat cross-legged. Two of them were beautiful women, and the other was a middle-aged man with a graceful expression and an indescribable aura of an emperor. They were Linglong, Miaoyi, and the Clear Sky Jade Emperor.
"However?"
Hearing Linglong's words, Dao Lord Miaoyi opened her eyes and asked expectantly.
"However, this world is indeed different from our world … Some Dharmic rituals should be modified, but it's not a big deal …"
Dao Lord Linglong said slowly.
Although there were still some survivors of the Western Regions World below, what kind of status did these three have? Naturally, he felt that it was beneath him to join them. He searched for a spiritual vein node and tried his Dao Technique. Only now did he finally regain his senses.
"…"
Upon hearing Daolord Linglong's words, they all fell silent.
"The spiritual energy in this mountain is very dense. At the very least, it won't be a problem before the Gale Fiend Stage …"
Dao Lord Miaoyi said, "After cultivating Dharmic powers, we'll be able to protect ourselves!"
They were supreme Daolords, but they were completely powerless right now. The fact that the three of them were able to maintain their rationality was already a testament to their incredible mental fortitude.
"That's right … Even if the previous world was fake, with this opportunity, we've truly gained physical form. It's not impossible for us to regain the position of Daolords!"
Daolord Linglong said ambitiously. She then looked at the Clear Sky Jade Emperor. "What are your plans, Your Eminence? Do you want to study the Dao together? "
"I … I walk the Divine Dao. I remember a few Immortal Dao techniques, but they're not suitable for me …"
The Clear Sky Jade Emperor touched the rock wall, and a strange expression appeared on his face. "If I want to ascend to the top, I'll naturally walk the Divine Dao. This mountain has a spirit, but it doesn't have a mountain god. It's suitable for me …"
"Fellow Daoist Hao Tian's Divine Dao progress is indeed quite fast at the beginning …"
Miaoyi and Linglong looked at each other. "We should support each other now. After we succeed in our cultivation, we'll immediately subdue those survivors. We'll be able to increase Fellow Daoist Hao Tian's faith …"
"Thank you!"
Upon hearing that, even the Clear Sky Jade Emperor's expression turned gentle. "Those survivors are also of our race. They're extremely important … However …"
As he spoke, there was a look of doubt on his face. "As the Clear Sky Jade Emperor, I'm familiar with the surrounding mountains, vegetation, and rivers. It's as if they're all things that Dazhou's territory. However, they seem a little different … Could it be that during the great calamity, a mighty figure snatched us and a portion of the world and threw them here?"
At the mention of that, even the two Dao Lords, Exquisite and Miao, had solemn expressions.
The scene back then was like a lifetime ago, and it was even more like a nightmare. They didn't dare to think about it.
"From the looks of it, since the World Creation Purple Dragon appeared, it should be the Creator who cast the Creation Divine Ability to save us … Then who is Dao Lord Purple Sieve, or the fellow who pretended to be Fellow Daoist Purple Sieve?"
The more they thought about it, the more mysteries they felt. They were even more certain that even if they knew the truth, they were just like ants to the mastermind. "We can only take our time to think about it!"
"Take our time to think about it?"
With a flash of light, a young man in feathered robes and a starry crown appeared in the cave. He asked with a smile.
"Who are you?"
Daolord Linglong waved her hand reflexively, and then she felt a sense of weakness and powerlessness. The divine formations and divine abilities that she could summon at her beck and call in the past had vanished into thin air. Only now did she let out a bitter laugh as she recalled the situation she was in.
"Who am I?"
Wu Ming smiled. His body surged with purple aura, and he took on the appearance of Dao Lord Purple Sieve. Even his voice had aged. "Do you remember now?"
"Dao Lord Purple Sieve!"
The Clear Sky Jade Emperor took two steps back. "No! The one who pretended to be Dao Lord Purple Sieve! "
"What do you want?"
Daolord Miaoyi frowned. If it weren't for Wu Ming, she would probably still be a Daolord in the Western Regions of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could she have fallen to such a state?
Even if it was just a dream, compared to the cruel reality, perhaps most people would choose to spend the rest of their lives in a beautiful dream.
"Don't make it sound so bad. After all … the Great Zhou's Western Region World is just an illusion. Even if I didn't push it, it would have entered the cycle of reincarnation. All of you will still be destroyed … Speaking of which, I saved your lives. Is this how you treat your savior?"
Wu Ming said with a smile.
"Saved our lives?"
Dao Lord Miaoyi, Dao Lord Linglong, and the Clear Sky Jade Emperor were dumbfounded. "You … you're the Purple Dragon of Creation, the Creator?!"
"How could it be fake?"
With a wave of his sleeve, Wu Ming's temperament changed. He was like the clouds in the sky, and the aura of the source filled the Clear Sky Jade Emperor and the others with awe.
They were all level-seven Golden Immortals who once controlled the world. Even though they had lost their positions, they would never mistake the source.
They looked at each other awkwardly. Miaoyi and Linglong even curtsied. "Greetings, Creator!"
"Well, forget it!"
Wu Ming waved his hand carelessly. "I saved you Dao Lords and Ancient Gods, and I have no other intentions. You can rest here and take care of the remnant people outside … Compared to Dazhou of the Western Regions, this is the real world. You can live and multiply as you please …"
He was the master of the Grotto-heaven. If the remnant people of the Dazhou developed and even rebuilt kingdoms and empires, it would be of great benefit to him. Naturally, he was happy to see it happen.
"We don't deserve to be called that by the Creator …"
Linglong and Miaoyi both said, "Please call us Linglong and Miaoyi …"
"That's right. I'm no longer the Jade Emperor. I have a mortal name, Zhang Hao. You can call me whatever you want …"
The Clear Sky Jade Emperor was also flexible. He didn't dare to be arrogant and said directly.
"Good!"
These few people were the heroes who had killed their way out of the hundreds of millions of people in the western region of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They were also first-class smart people. Under the unfavorable situation, they immediately compromised. Wu Ming secretly nodded.
With his current capability, he naturally wouldn't take this former Dao Lord Ancient God seriously.
Even if they had grievances, they had to be a threat to him. Not to mention that they were weak now, it would take a long time for them to climb to the Heavenly Master Realm. Even if they reached the Heavenly Master Realm, there were still the Grotto-heaven and the main temple.
How could ordinary people care about the hearts of ants?
That was Wu Ming's mentality now.
These three people were old and experienced. If he left the matter of the remnant people to them, he wouldn't have to worry about the Grotto-heaven.
…
For Wu Ming, he had gained a lot from creating the illusory fairyland this time.
However, for his subordinates, they didn't know how their boss was doing at all.
Even Ji Fu only felt the main temple shake, and then there was no more.
He was stunned, then opened the door.
In a moment of carelessness, the stars moved. When he came back to his senses, he found himself on a large square.
This square was surrounded by chaotic fog, and there was a layer of starlight with a powerful force that couldn't be surpassed.
"Young Master!"
Immediately, he heard a surprised cry. It turned out to be Zhu Si. When he saw Ji Fu, there were tears in the corners of his eyes. "I thought I would never see you again!"
"Forget it …"
Thinking of the danger at the last moment, even Ji Fu was anxious. He waved his hand again. "Come here … Let me try how to use this trading function."
He immediately pulled Zhu Si aside. The two Samsara travelers tried for a long time and finally understood the use of this trading market.
First of all, the most basic function was that the Samsara travelers could spend a certain amount of merit points to hide their figures and numbers.
Then, there were stalls in the square. Merit points were needed to rent them, and the main temple would take a cut of every transaction.
This immediately made Ji Fu curse them for being greedy for money. He experienced the pain of the senior Samsara travelers.
However, since the main temple charged fees, it naturally provided notarization services. It was the most honest.
Ji Fu and Zhu Si first hid themselves, then immediately strolled around the market. It had to be said that this group of Samsara travelers was quite smart. Several stalls had begun to display goods, surrounded by a group of people. Unfortunately, there were few transactions.
"It seems that they are all produced by Dazhou Records of the Western Regions. There are also stalls selling information …"
Ji Fu looked at the people around him and thought to himself.
This group of Samsara travelers were all newcomers, and they had returned before the end of the world. They had no idea that the world of Dazhou Records of the Western Regions had already been destroyed. Otherwise, the price of this information would inevitably fall to the bottom.
"Young Master, I heard a piece of news … It seems that this group of people are all newcomers!"
Zhu Si said fawningly. "There must be a group of veteran Samsara travelers above us. Maybe we will meet them in the next mission …"
Hearing this, Ji Fu's eyes immediately became gloomy.
