Chapter 23: Resonating with the Will of Creation
"Let's go."
Xuantian spoke softly, following his inner thoughts. He and Xiao Jin immediately journeyed through the earth veins, heading toward Mount Buzhou.
From sighting Mount Buzhou to reaching its foot, it took nearly a thousand years.
This taught Xuantian the truth of "seeing the mountain is a recipe for disaster." It also revealed the vastness of Mount Buzhou—truly worthy of its title as the foremost ancestral vein of the prehistoric world.
Buzz!
Just as they reached the foot of Mount Buzhou, Xuantian's mind flickered, and the Qiyun Jade, radiating golden light, suddenly appeared in his hand.
With the human race now thriving, and the Kongtong Seal—a supreme treasure of the human race—suppressing its fortune, the luck had skyrocketed more than tenfold compared to before.
As the head of the human race, Xuantian already possessed the tribe's fortune. With the aid of the Primordial Harmony System, he had already accumulated twice the human race's fortune. Now, using the Qiyun Jade, he amplified it tenfold.
Even Xuantian himself couldn't imagine the extent to which his luck had been boosted to!
Thinking of this, he immediately activated the jade. The innate treasure suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, shrouded in a mysterious aura that enveloped Xuantian. Within a few breaths, his already formidable luck skyrocketed tenfold.
Golden lotuses of luck seemed to materialize, lingering around him. Luck, originally intangible, had now become tangible, demonstrating the terrifying depths of Xuantian's fortune.
"Great Treasure Hunting Technique!"
Feeling his luck surge, Xuantian's face lit up with anticipation. He immediately activated his innate great magical power, the Great Treasure Hunting Technique.
Rumble!
Just as the technique was unleashed, a roaring sound echoed. A black hole seemed to materialize within his body, devouring him at an unimaginable speed.
Within a few breaths, the many golden lotuses of luck that surrounded him dissipated. By the time the strange phenomena faded, over 90% of Xuantian's luck had been drained!
Yet at that moment, an incredibly powerful pull emerged from within his body. Surprised, a look of shock crossed Xuantian's face.
This pull seemed even stronger than the one he had felt in the forbidden zone of Mount Shouyang, where he had directly found the Kongtong Seal, the most precious treasure of the human race!
With this in mind, Xuantian no longer hesitated. Together with Xiao Jin, he followed the mysterious pull and began climbing Mount Buzhou.
"Master, the Creation of Heaven pressure is too terrifying! I can hardly bear it!"
Xiao Jin paused shortly after beginning the ascent, a grimace in his eyes.
Its physical strength was terrifying, even greater than that of a prehistoric beast. Compared to it, his master seemed more like a prehistoric innate being.
Ignoring Xiao Jin's thoughts, Xuantian took him into the Pot of Heaven World, activated his fundamental body-refining technique, and continued the climb alone.
Just then, a crisp notification chime rang out, startling him.
[Ding Dong! Congratulations, host! The tribe population has reached 10 billion.
Reward: 1 Enlightenment Card, Hongmeng Pearl!]
Apparently, while he was away, the human race in the large-blessed heaven had thrived—once again surpassing the previous number and reaching a population of 10 billion.
In his previous life, Earth's population had approached that number. The prehistoric world was so vast that even the dominant tribes like the demon and witch races numbered in the trillions.
Ten billion humans were nothing, but the rewards were astonishing.
The first was the Enlightenment Card. According to the system, once used, one could instantly enter a state of enlightenment, even Heavenly Dao Saints envied.
Of course, the depth of enlightenment still depended on one's luck.
The second reward was the Hongmeng Pearl, another prehistoric chaotic treasure.
Every such treasure possessed incredibly powerful abilities, and the Hongmeng Pearl was no exception. Its function was simple: to store energy and release it all at once.
Every year, it could store double its own energy for up to 10,000 years. At full capacity, it could unleash a strike 10,000 times more powerful than its base strength.
Of course, after each explosion, the stored energy would be completely reset. Even so, the destructive force was immense.
"This!!"
Xuantian's eyes lit up with joy as he gazed at the Hongmeng Pearl in his hand. A strike 10,000 times stronger—if used wisely, it would be a powerful trump card!
With this thought, he continued to climb Mount Buzhou while simultaneously storing energy in the pearl.
As he climbed, the pressure from the Creation of Heaven grew increasingly terrifying, almost tangible—causing Xuantian to instinctively feel oppressed.
However, within this pressure, there seemed to be a unique Dao rhythm, a faint essence that Xuantian became subtly immersed in.
Yet the rhythm was too profound—like a layer of frosted glass. He could feel it but couldn't grasp its essence. It was like scratching an itch through a shoe—truly maddening.
After all, Mount Buzhou was formed from the spine of the Great God Pangu. The mysteries contained in the Creation of Heaven's pressure were undoubtedly tied to Pangu himself.
In the prehistoric world, nothing related to Pangu was simple.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches were born from Pangu's essence and blood.
The three dominant races—dragon, phoenix, and unicorn—were all connected to him.
Comprehending the mysteries hidden within Mount Buzhou's pressure would be an unimaginable opportunity.
With this in mind, Xuantian's expression grew resolute. With a single thought, he activated the Enlightenment Card.
Buzz!
As soon as the card was used, the entire prehistoric world seemed to transform. The laws of heaven and earth became crystal clear.
The mysteries of Creation—the mighty force that birthed heaven and earth—began to unfold before him at an astonishing rate.
The prehistoric world was boundless. Even Xuantian couldn't tell how long he had been comprehending.
That day, however, marked the moment he fully grasped the mysteries within the Creation of Heaven.
Suddenly, he resonated with the entire Mount Buzhou—causing the colossal mountain, formed from Pangu's spine, to tremble!
The next moment, before he could react, his vision blurred—
And he found himself in a strange space.
Here, the concepts of time and space vanished.
Only an endless, swirling flow of grayish-white air remained, exuding an ancient and boundless aura.
"Is this… the chaotic world before the creation of the universe?"
