Chapter 116

Primeval creatures are symbols of strength and terror; according to ancient records, before the primeval era, primeval creatures far surpassed humans in power.

Only after the rise of the human race's Great Emperor did humanity gradually escape the plight of being reduced to 'fish and meat'.

Although the human race now produces heaven-chosen prodigies and divine bodies in abundance, primeval creatures have been sealed since ancient times; without exception they are all powerful beings, and once they emerge, humanity finds it hard to withstand them.

"Should we tell the Jiang family to stop attacking Purple Mountain?"

This matter is of great importance; the Queen Mother of the West departed from her usual dignified demeanor, her expression extremely solemn.

"Back then, Xiaohei deliberately let the animal hide engraved with Purple Mountain's terrain circulate, precisely so that the long-lost Purple Mountain would reappear in the world."

At the ancient tomb of Li City, the Big Black Dog and Ye Fan had already obtained the animal hide; after a moment's thought, the Big Black Dog believed it was time to let this 'Demonic Mountain' reappear before people's eyes.

Later they gave the hide to someone else, and soon enough it fell into the hands of several major holy lands, which led to the second attack on Purple Mountain.

"But… once the primeval creatures are born, the Eastern Wasteland will surely endure tribulation."

When primeval creatures emerge, blood will flow like rivers; the grudges between humanity and ancient beings have accumulated for ages and are not easily resolved.

Even as strong as Jade Pool, possessing flawless imperial weapons would hardly protect itself; it would be drawn into this turmoil.

"The Golden Great Age has arrived; this is unavoidable."

The immortal realm is about to open; at that time all races will emerge, imperial sons and ancient princes will appear in full force, and a cataclysm unprecedented in history will begin.

Yang Zhu paced to the outside of the hall, looking down over the Divine City: 'Besides, what do you think is the reason for my appearance at this time?'

The Queen Mother of the West followed behind Yang Zhu, lost in thought: 'Why is the imperial grandson so certain that they cannot obtain the inheritance inside?'

When primeval creatures emerge, if the Beginningless Great Emperor's Dao lineage reappears in the world, it will surely inspire humanity; if someone can inherit it, perhaps they can even turn the tide.

"Because I come from there; besides me, no one can open my father's inheritance." Yang Zhu replied.

"The Dao lineage inside Purple Mountain does not belong to the Beginningless Great…"

The Queen Mother of the West did not understand, but halfway through speaking she suddenly realized, her pupils contracting, her face full of disbelief.

"Are you the son of the Beginningless Great Emperor?"

The Queen Mother of the West felt her mouth go dry; after so many years as the Holy Mother, usually calm and dignified, her body could not help trembling.

Her heart surged like waves, stirring up shocking torrents, layer upon layer, impossible to calm! 'Exactly.'

"In other words, the Queen Mother of the West is the birth mother of the Beginningless Great Emperor?"

Such a secret has never been heard before; anyone who hears it will be deeply shaken.

Yang Zhu nodded, a divine light shooting from his eyes; the Dao diagram in his depths evolved, as if piercing the void, gazing toward the distant horizon.

That direction is the former grounds of Jade Pool, namely the place where the Queen Mother of the West and his great-grandfather's emperor corpse were suppressed.

"Otherwise, what do you think? Back then, my grandfather's Holy Body erupted, his later years unknown; why did my father intervene to suppress him in the former grounds of Jade Pool?"

This is an unknown secret, and precisely for this reason Jade Pool relocated its sect, moving to this present divine land.

"So the legend is true…"

The Queen Mother of the West sighed; each generation of Jade Pool's masters knows some of the past, more or less, yet even Jade Pool's Supreme Elder never came to know it.

As for why Jade Pool moved away from its original homeland, she had also vaguely heard some from the previous Queen Mother of the West, but it was quite vague, lacking solid evidence.

Now, hearing it from Yang Zhu's mouth, it amounts to unearthing that dust‑buried past, inevitably making her feel regret.

"What a pity the Beginningless Great Emperor has passed away; otherwise…"

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhu suddenly turned, his steps noticeably lighter: 'Who told you my father has passed away?'

"The Beginningless Great Emperor became an emperor tens of thousands of years ago; after all this time, could he still be alive in the world?"

This is undoubtedly shocking news; once verified, not only the Eastern Wasteland but the entire universe would tremble! 'My father has not passed away; he is now confronting the Immortal Heavenly Emperor in a strange world…' Afterwards Yang Zhu revealed some details to her, and the Queen Mother of the West listened, stunned throughout.

"The Beginningless Great Emperor has not passed away, and even the Immortal Heavenly Emperor is still alive…"

The Queen Mother of the West's scalp went numb, as if about to explode; today she has encountered too many secrets, leaving her with a dreamlike feeling, unable to regain her composure for a long time.

"In that case…"

Yang Zhu waited for the other party to slightly recover, then quietly instructed them on a few matters.

"I will dutifully follow the Imperial Son's orders."

The Queen Mother of the West adjusted her attire, again performing a grand salute with utmost respect; this time she even knelt down, without a trace of the Holy Mother's airs.

The descendants of the Queen Mother of the West and the son of the Beginningless Great Emperor—take out any one of them, and it is enough to make the world submit and be revered by myriad people!

"Hahaha, it's just the primeval royal clan; since I have appeared, I will suppress them all when the time comes!"

Yang Zhu laughed loudly; the Beginningless laws manifested around him, the Heaven and Earth Great Dao resonating, auspicious beasts like the White Tiger and Azure Dragon appearing, showering down blessings, emanating endless immortal light.

He possesses an innate kingly aura, stunning talent, heroic bearing, his spirit permeating ancient and modern times, as if he were the sovereign of heaven and earth, even more ethereal than a banished immortal.

"Rise."

Having said that, he turned and walked toward the outside of the hall; all the phenomena withdrew, returning to normal.

"Seeing off the Imperial Son." The Queen Mother of the West performed the salute again.

Having left the White Jade Hall's doors and walked a while, the Jade Pool Holy Maiden, who had long been waiting, immediately came forward to greet him.

"How did it go? Have the discussions been completed?"

"I'm talking about your affairs." Yang Zhu gazed deeply at the flawless woman before him, teasing.

The Jade Pool Holy Maiden wore white that surpassed snow, her black hair flying; her icy skin and jade bones, her immortal form graceful and flawless, like heaven's most perfect masterpiece.

"Con…cerning me…"

Under Yang Zhu's gaze, she lowered her beautiful eyes; though a light veil covered them, a rosy blush could still be seen faintly, exuding myriad charms.

"Let's go; we'll talk in detail later."

Yang Zhu smiled, ceased teasing her, and they left together.

Now that official business is urgent, we must quickly obtain the other half of the Heaven‑Swallowing Demon Jar.

Arriving at the designated spot, the Big Black Dog and Tu Fei were already waiting there; Duan De, that fellow, had been wandering aimlessly in the Divine City before returning with a red‑glowing face.

"Not bad, not bad…"

He patted his stomach; his bulky body made him unusually nimble, as if he had gained something good, his face beaming.

"You're looking for my grandfather, wanting to trade his broken pot?"

Tu Fei frowned; he only knew the big black dog was extremely eager for that thing, and now Yang Zhu has taken a liking to it—could it really be a treasure?

"Nonsense, if that old immortal dares not to exchange, this emperor will give him a blow with a club!"

The big black dog gritted its teeth; just thinking of its long‑cherished treasure being snatched by someone else made its teeth itch with hatred.

"You dead dog, can you even speak?"

Tu Fei gave him a sideways glance; ever since he told him about this the last time, the big black dog's mouth is always "Lao Bu Si" when it opens and "Lao Bu Si" when it closes.

This made Tu Fei quite angry, but there was nothing he could do about the big black dog.
