The muddy ground exuded a pungent, earthy scent, with clusters of weeds and wildflowers dotting the surroundings.
A group of eight individuals, hailing from the Divine Realm, the Temple of Time and Space, and the Mortal World, were making their way toward the towering, sky-reaching vine. Among them, Dongbo Xueying was the most anxious!
The other seven had clear objectives. All of them needed to ascend along the entire length of the sky-reaching vine, pass through numerous dangers, and successfully reach a higher spatial realm to obtain the treasures so desperately desired by the Divine Sovereign-level existences behind them.
“As long as I succeed in removing the poison, I’ll be able to fully focus on my cultivation, advancing all three of my profound insights to the Third Reverberation as soon as possible. My overall strength will greatly improve, perhaps even surpassing the likes of Master Meishan!” Dongbo Xueying thought eagerly. “Once that happens, I’ll definitely have the strength to acquire many treasures within Hongshi Mountain. My treasures will be far more numerous than those of the old Black Wind Ancestor!”
Why had the Black Wind Ancestor been so unwilling to leave?
Why had he wanted to return?
Because back then, danger had arrived unexpectedly, forcing him to abandon Hongshi Mountain.
Dongbo Xueying’s strength, however, was far greater than the Black Wind Ancestor’s, especially after the detoxification further enhanced his power. He was certain he would obtain far more treasures than the old ancestor ever had! Perhaps even more than the entire Xia Clan’s accumulated wealth!
…
Dongbo Xueying’s heart was filled with nervousness and unease. Although the sky-reaching vine was majestic and visible from afar, it still took them over half a watch to finally reach its base.
At the base of the vine, countless twisted roots protruded from the earth, resembling great serpents. Even more roots extended deep into the soil.
“This floating continent has a diameter of hundreds of thousands of miles, almost entirely infiltrated by the roots of the sky-reaching vine,” Chen Jiu remarked beside him. “And this is only under the control of the great beings of the Divine Realm. Otherwise, the vine’s roots could spread even further.”
“I understand. Isn’t it said that even most Divine Sovereign-level beings cannot rival it?” Dongbo Xueying replied.
The eight finally came to a stop.
They all gazed ahead, waiting. Dongbo Xueying especially struggled to suppress his rising emotions.
Suddenly—
On the main trunk of the vine, which was tens of thousands of miles thick, a figure gradually emerged. Her beauty was unparalleled, with green hair and green skin, her body draped in garments formed from green leaves. She exuded a gentle aura. This green-haired woman was barefoot, and aside from her green skin, her appearance surpassed all other living beings Dongbo Xueying had ever seen.
Moreover, this green-haired woman emanated a very unique aura—one of supreme mystery. It was as if she herself were a mysterious world.
“Young Transcendents,” the green-haired woman descended slowly, barefoot, landing on the ground with a smile. “My name is Xi Wei. Congratulations to you all for reaching my presence. By the command of the Holy Sovereign, all Transcendents who reach my presence have the opportunity to receive a gift from him. Tell me, what is it you desire? Weapons, treasures, secret techniques, or cultivation paradises?… Whatever you desire, you may request it. I shall do my best to fulfill your wishes.”
“Senior Xi Wei.”
Wu Ma Hai, the golden-armored youth, respectfully bowed. “I wish to witness a ‘Heaven and Earth Creation.'”
None of them dared to be the least bit disrespectful.
Senior Xi Wei… was actually a manifestation of the sky-reaching vine itself. This vine was a Divine Sovereign-level being, and even rumored to be among the most powerful of such beings. Ordinary Divine Sovereigns encountering it would be unable to resist, possibly even meeting their end. How dare they, mere junior Transcendents, show any disrespect? Offending the senior could result in instant death, leaving no time for regret!
“Witness a Heaven and Earth Creation?” Senior Xi Wei smiled. “Little one, you sure know how to choose! Go ahead!”
Buzz!
A wave of energy enveloped Wu Ma Hai, and in an instant, he vanished into thin air.
“What about you all?” Senior Xi Wei turned her gaze to the others.
“Senior Xi Wei, I also wish to witness a Heaven and Earth Creation,” the white-robed girl respectfully replied.
“Heaven and Earth Creation.”
“I also wish to witness a Heaven and Earth Creation.”
“…Heaven and Earth Creation…”
One by one, they quickly made their choices.
To everyone’s surprise, they all unhesitatingly chose to witness the ‘Heaven and Earth Creation.’
Dongbo Xueying watched silently as they made their choices. The Xia Clan had gathered extensive intelligence over the years, and many visitors from other realms had traded with them… Thus, the Xia Clan’s intelligence network already contained information on the ‘Heaven and Earth Creation.’
Legend had it that the great beings of the Divine Realm could transcend all laws, possessing inconceivable abilities. For instance, their true names could not be spoken aloud, for uttering them would alert the being, who could then instantly annihilate the speaker across countless spatial distances. Resurrecting the dead was common knowledge. Even the Temple of Time and Space, regarded as the most supreme divine artifact, could not protect reincarnators from these beings.
The great beings could also create heaven and earth, giving birth to entirely new worlds.
During the creation of heaven and earth… countless laws and mysteries of a new world would gradually take form… an excellent opportunity for cultivation insight!
Of course, actually witnessing a Divine Realm being create heaven and earth was extremely difficult. Within Hongshi Mountain, the request to witness it was possible only because the original master of Hongshi Mountain had left behind an imprint. By sensing it with one’s mind, one could ‘watch’ the scene of creation. Although not as good as witnessing it in person, such an opportunity was still extremely rare.
In the Divine Realm or the Dark Abyss, experiencing such an imprint was also very difficult.
Only the great beings themselves could painstakingly leave behind such imprints, and they would never be sold cheaply or publicly. Thus, Transcendents rarely had the opportunity to witness such events.
“Little one, only you remain,” the green-haired woman, Senior Xi Wei, turned her gaze toward Dongbo Xueying.
At this moment, the other seven had already been transported away to witness the ‘Heaven and Earth Creation.’
Dongbo Xueying took a deep breath and said, “Senior Xi Wei, I wish to request an antidote… to cure the Gui Liu Yuan Witch Poison within me!”
“An antidote?” The green-haired woman, Senior Xi Wei, gently shook her head. “The Gui Liu Yuan Witch Poison is a witchcraft poison concocted only by witchcraft masters at the peak of the Divine level. And passing through the floating island meteor bridge was merely the most basic and simple test… Although the Holy Ancestor will grant you a gift, there is a limit to the value of that gift. They are merely treasures at the Demi-God level. However, the antidote you seek exceeds the value of the gift I am able to bestow.”
“No, although I was poisoned by the Gui Liu Yuan Witch Poison, it was only a minor wound from the Witch God Sword, and the poison is much weaker—it’s not the original witchcraft poison,” Dongbo Xueying quickly explained.
He clearly understood the value of the gift.
If it were the original Gui Liu Yuan Witch Poison, there would be no hope. But his case was a weakened version! Thus, Dongbo Xueying had always held onto hope!
“Little one, I can see through the witchcraft poison within you at a glance,” the green-haired woman, Xi Wei, said. “You needn’t explain. Although it is not the original poison, the antidote required to cure it still exceeds the value of the gift I can offer. I am powerless to help.”
