Chapter 124 The God of Heaven and Earth
In the primordial world, at the foot of Mount Buzhou, a Taiyi Immortal City stretching for 38 million miles rose from the ground. Within the city, eighty-one Taiyi Golden Immortals guarded the eight directions, while three thousand six hundred Golden Immortals and over a million True Immortals at the late stage formed an army to annihilate the surrounding ferocious beasts.
The area beneath Mount Buzhou was the core of the primordial world, the location of Pangu's spine. Mount Buzhou also nurtured innate gods and demons such as Nuwa, Fuxi, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, as well as a large number of innate spiritual treasures and roots.
However, the residual power of Pangu still lingered, so even Xu Qiankun, whose strength had reached the peak of the Great Luo realm, could not go up the mountain.
Beneath Mount Buzhou, the largest number of ferocious beasts gathered, and their strength was generally very high.
No sooner had the Taiyi Immortal City been established than millions of ferocious beasts came charging in.
The army of 108 powerful warriors from various races under Xu Qiankun's command also showed no weakness and charged towards the ferocious beasts.
Although these races are all acquired races, they each have their own strengths. For example, the elves are slightly weaker in combat, but they are extremely good at healing and support.
Races like the King Kongs, Three-Eyeds, Titans, and Cyclopes are better at head-on confrontations.
Once a legion is formed, it can unleash even greater power.
As soon as the two sides clashed, the ferocious beasts were completely suppressed, and countless merits rained down. The warriors fought with increasing ferocity and strength.
Above Taiyi Immortal City, there is a chaotic-colored pearl floating in the sky. It is the Qiankun Reverse Origin Pearl, the companion spiritual treasure of the Qiankun God and Demon. Although this pearl is in the form of a bead, it is not a component of the Chaos Pearl.
Whenever a ferocious beast is killed, the Qiankun Reverse Origin Pearl will refine its corpse and seize the power of creation within it.
The actions of Taiyi Immortal City naturally attracted the attention of various forces.
A red Qilin came from another direction of Buzhou Mountain. It was a fire Qilin at the peak of the Taiyi realm, formed from a small piece of Pangu's finger bone, and was born together with the original Qilin in Qilin Cliff.
Although not a primordial god or demon, it is still one of the most outstanding beings among primordial beings. If it can continue to live, it will surely become a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the future, and it also has a great chance of becoming a Quasi-Saint.
"I am Elder Huo Lin of the Qilin Clan. May I ask your origins?"
The Fire Kirin Ancestor flew in mid-air, looking solemnly at the various life forms within the Taiyi Immortal City below.
These beings range in size from tiny to enormous, some possessing innate Dao bodies, while others are beasts like their Qilin clan.
What shocked the Fire Kirin Ancestor even more was that he sensed a total of eighty-one Taiyi Golden Immortal-level auras within them, although these auras seemed somewhat weak compared to his own.
However, eighty-one Taiyi Golden Immortals is a strength that even the Qilin Clan cannot currently muster.
"We are the hundred races of Heaven and Earth."
As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, the Elf Queen Mu Qing flew into the sky, at the same height as the Fire Scale Ancestor. Behind Mu Qing followed the patriarchs of the Vajra Clan and the Titan Clan, who were also Taiyi Golden Immortals.
"By order of our Father God, the Lord of Heaven and Earth, we have set up a defensive line here to prevent ferocious beasts from charging into Buzhou Mountain."
Mu Qing said in a cold tone.
Thank you all for your help.
The Fire Kirin Ancestor felt a chill in his heart, but his expression remained calm. He even took the initiative to thank Mu Qing and the others.
Qilin Cliff is located in another direction from Buzhou Mountain, and it is the closest to Buzhou Mountain among the three races.
"No need to be polite," Mu Qing nodded slightly. "We are all beings from the primordial era. Now that ferocious beasts are causing trouble, we should fight them together."
After exchanging pleasantries, Ancestor Huo Lin took his leave and went to a valley only 80 million miles away from Taiyi Immortal City.
"Clan Chief"
As the Fire Kirin Ancestor entered the valley, he respectfully bowed in one direction. The earth rippled slightly, and a dark jade-colored Kirin appeared in the valley.
This Qilin exuded the aura of a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.
"How was it? Did you manage to find out the origins of the races within that immortal city?"
The First Qilin asked.
"They are not innate beings, but rather an acquired race. They call themselves the Hundred Races of Qiankun, claiming that they were sent by their father, the God of Qiankun, to guard Buzhou Mountain," the Fire Kirin Ancestor replied.
"Is it an acquired race?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Qilin breathed a huge sigh of relief.
The concepts of innate and acquired races are frequently explored in the classic quotes from "Swallowing the Stars: Starting from an Innate God-Demon Avatar," seeking resonance. Their potential differs drastically; no matter how many of them there are, they pose no threat to the Qilin clan.
However, it was the "God of Heaven and Earth" who caught the attention of the First Qilin.
To be able to create so many races, the Qiankun God Lord's strength must be at least at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, even stronger than Him.
"But it doesn't matter," Shi Qilin's eyes flickered. "As innate gods and demons, we are protected by the Heavenly Dao and are strictly forbidden from killing each other. Even if that Qiankun God Lord is already at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, he is no threat to me."
"On the contrary, the Dragon Clan, which has recently risen in the East China Sea, and the Phoenix Clan, which has risen in the Southern Undying Volcano, are both innate races like my Qilin Clan, and they pose a considerable threat."
However, the phoenix was transformed from the hair on Pangu's chest, and the dragon was transformed from his meridians, both of which inherited some of Pangu's merits and fortune in creating the world.
If one can subdue the other two major races, one can gather the merits and fortunes of the three races into one's own body and become the ruler of the primordial world.
The Primordial Qilin had an intuition that as long as it could reach that point, it could easily advance to a higher realm and truly become an invincible existence in the primordial world.
"Let's go back to our clan's territory first."
Having obtained the answer they sought, the First Qilin quickly led the Fire Qilin Ancestor away, returning to Qilin Cliff.
Shortly after the First Qilin left, the space in the valley trembled slightly, and a speck of dust, so faint that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would overlook it, trembled slightly. Xu Qiankun, still in human form, appeared in the air.
His eyes were deep. "I was thinking of whether we could unite these three major races to give Hongjun and Luohou a hard blow. But now it seems that these three innate races are destined to decline no matter what."
Xu Qiankun shook his head slightly. Just now, he had already seen a strong aura of calamity on the Qilin.
If the First Qilin was like this, then the First Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the Heavenly Phoenix must have been similar.
"The great calamity hasn't even begun yet, and they're already shrouded in calamity energy without even realizing it. This is because the primordial world cannot tolerate them."
Xu Qiankun shook his head helplessly. He looked up at the sky and seemed to see the deep malice of the heavens.
The primordial world was created by Pangu. Many of the countless beings born in this world are related to Pangu. The three innate races were transformed from parts of Pangu's body, the twelve ancestral witches were transformed from Pangu's essence and blood, the three pure ones were transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit, and the Taiyin and Taiyang were transformed from Pangu's eyes.
However, in later stories, apart from the Three Pure Ones and the Ancestral Witch Houtu, almost all other descendants of Pangu were driven off the stage of the prehistoric world.
On the contrary, the human race, an acquired race, became the protagonist of the prehistoric world.
"The descendants of Pangu are being targeted."
Xu Qiankun came to this conclusion, but dared not show the slightest abnormality.
The one who can influence the descendants of Pangu in the unseen world is certainly not a mere Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Time passed, and tens of thousands of years went by in no time.
Over the past tens of thousands of years, the various races of Qiankun have continuously slain ferocious beasts and accumulated a great deal of merit. Among them, Mu Qing, as the commander of the three armies, relied on a large amount of Heavenly Dao merit to break through in one fell swoop, becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal and mastering a branch of the Great Dao of Life.
The cultivation levels of other powerful individuals have also improved.
Using merit to improve one's spiritual cultivation is indeed a self-destructive approach.
However, the condition for ruining one's own future is that one must have a future.
As an acquired race created by Xu Qiankun, and not a protagonist of heaven and earth recognized by the Heavenly Dao, becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal is basically the limit for them. Becoming a Daluo is many times more difficult than for innate beings, and can be said to be almost impossible.
As for anything above the Great Luo level, don't even think about it.
At the same time, the name of the God of Heaven and Earth also became known to powerful figures from all sides.
"The God of Heaven and Earth? It should be the God of Heaven and Earth from the Chaos Era, right?" On the majestic Kunlun Mountain, Hongjun, who was holding a golden lotus in his hand, had a deep look in his eyes. "The Hundred Races of Heaven and Earth, it seems that the one who seized the first merit of creation is Him."
"His strength may have reached the peak of the Great Luo realm, and he has most likely cultivated both the Great Dao of Creation and the Great Dao of Life. He wants to break through the Great Luo realm and prove the Dao of Hunyuan by promoting the transformation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. He is a considerable threat."
Hongjun's eyes flickered slightly, and the Jade Disc of Creation above his head spun rapidly, with countless causes and effects constantly being deduced and changed within it.
