Chapter 103: Shen Ni Is Up to His Old Tricks Again! (Extra Chapter)

Yuan Huang returned to her loyal Tiannan after years of wandering abroad.

The Primordial Wu Tong Tree was overjoyed and specially hosted a grand welcome assembly for Yuan Huang.

The scene was magnificent: mandarin ducks sang on their own, phoenixes danced freely, countless feathered tribes formed battle arrays, and boundless divine flames ignited to warmly welcome the return of their clan chief.

“You don’t need to be so enthusiastic.”

Yuan Huang was utterly bewildered by this lively welcome.

She watched as countless dormant volcanoes in Tiannan nearly erupted together, ready to celebrate with a blazing, fiery spectacle.

Yuan Huang quickly suppressed the restless earth veins.

If the Immortal Volcano Cluster erupted fully because of this, the consequences would be enormous.

“Chief, have you returned to preside over the clan’s development assembly?” the Primordial Wu Tong Tree asked eagerly.

“Development assembly? What development assembly?”

Yuan Huang looked utterly confused.

Then she saw Zhu Que pinch the bridge of her nose, Qing Luan sighed, and Chong Ming shook his head.

The Primordial Wu Tong Tree’s fiery heart turned cold and lifeless.

“I knew it—Ah Huang doesn’t care about anything…” The Primordial Wu Tong Tree had already given up.

In the Phoenix Platform, emerald leaves fell with a rustling sound, carpeting the ground—each one a sorrow of the Wu Tong.

“Um… cough, that’s not entirely true.”

A flicker of embarrassment passed through Yuan Huang’s eyes; her face flushed slightly, and she felt a bit shy.

“It’s a development assembly every hundred thousand years—I do remember. Otherwise, why would I have rushed back now?”

“Let’s recall everyone this time and hold a proper meeting.”

“Really?!” The Primordial Wu Tong Tree perked up instantly; its gray-white leaves regained vitality and radiated boundless brilliance.

Even Zhu Que and the others looked astonished.

Due to Yuan Huang, the clan chief, leading by example in slacking off, the scattered primordial ancestors and elders of the Phoenix Clan hadn’t gathered in ages.

“Of course it’s true!”

Yuan Huang smiled gently at the overjoyed Primordial Wu Tong Tree.

I’ve come back to hold a meeting—those bastards, one and all, won’t get away this time!

“Issue the Phoenix Edict: anyone who dares not return shall be forbidden from leaving again, and the next assembly will be presided over by Him!”

As soon as Yuan Huang issued the Phoenix Edict, across Tiannandibei and boundless spacetime, over a dozen Primordial Deities shuddered.

“Forbidden from leaving? That’s unacceptable!”

In a tributary of the River of Time, a time-fish leapt from the water and transformed into a primordial deity with a graceful demeanor—[Hong Hu Primordial Ancestor] Qing Hong.

“The chief actually came back for a meeting? How rare.” Qing Hong chuckled, shook his head, and turned back toward Hong Huang.

In the instant he left, the entire tributary of the River of Time vanished.

Countless ancient histories and derivative dimensions crystallized into a single illusory pearl, which swiftly caught up to Qing Hong and slipped into his sleeve.

In Gui Xu.

A wandering demon creature’s two small eyes spun rapidly.

It suddenly broke from its group and vanished into the void.

Yuan Chu Primordial Ancestor—Qing Yuan.

“Ah Huang sister is presiding over an assembly? Too bad—I just uncovered some new movements among these demons; now I have to abandon it.”

Qing Yuan felt a pang of regret.

After leaving a single light feather that transformed into a succubus to rejoin the demon army, He flew back to Tiannan.

Bei Ming.

A great Kun leapt from the water, rode the mighty winds, and transformed into a giant Peng bird.

“I must hurry back—if I’m trapped in Tiannan from now on, I’ll suffocate!”

The Kun Peng pushed his true Peng speed to its peak and returned to Tiannan in an instant.

In Chaos.

A Xuan Bird detached from a great universe.

“This Dao body can finally be put to use!” Emperor Jun sighed with deep emotion.

His Dao body had long joined the Phoenix Clan, but Yuan Huang was the ultimate slacker—she ignored everything, forcing him to go out and cause trouble himself.

“This time, the Phoenix Clan must be planning something big!”

“I don’t believe you called us back for a meeting just to discuss how to slack off!”

Emperor Jun flew back to Hong Huang.

In the west of Hong Huang, a white crane glided through the void.

In the east of Hong Huang, the Bi Fang divine bird returned.

Within the Great River, the Meng Meng Bird broke off its battle with the True Dragon and withdrew.

By the banks of the Great River, a Yue Zhuo spread its wings and soared high.

…

One by one, primordial ancestors and elders rushed back to Hong Huang’s Tiannan at their fastest speeds.

“Huh? Why are there so many places generating spacetime fluctuations?”

Xiang Xuanqing used the Three Lives Stone to observe, noticing traces of spacetime.

“Tiannan? Has Yuan Huang finally remembered she’s the clan chief?”

Xiang Xuanqing smiled but made no move.

Several minor avatars in Tiannan were enough.

No need to go in person.

“Better find Shen Ni—last time I stole his Time Demon God’s rib and Destruction Demon God’s eyeball; he’s probably up to something again!”

Xiang Xuanqing infused the karmic threads into the Three Lives Stone.

The images within the Three Lives Stone flickered rapidly, then finally locked onto Shen Ni’s trail.

“Shen Ni, are you certain there’s a Zao Hua Dao Guo here?” That was the voice of Xiang Gu Zhi Shi.

He never abandoned Shen Ni—even after countless failures, he never left.

“Don’t worry—I’m certain I didn’t misread it!”

Shen Ni swore confidently.

Xiang Gu Zhi Shi gazed at the chaotic, boundless void.

His divine sense had scoured the area thoroughly but detected not a trace of Zao Hua energy.

“Could it be we’re not in the same spacetime as the Zao Hua Dao Guo?”

Xiang Gu Zhi Shi and Shen Ni probed countless timelines in this void. After repeated analysis, Shen Ni finally pinpointed the exact direction!

“This one—behind it hides a world!”

Shen Ni grinned: “I’m absolutely certain!”

“The Zao Hua energy is extremely dense—this is definitely a complete Zao Hua Dao Guo!”

“Is that so?” Xiang Gu Zhi Shi remained skeptical, for he still felt nothing.

“Trust me!”

Shen Ni patted his chest and pulled Xiang Gu Zhi Shi along the timeline, erasing it behind them.

They advanced through silver-white cosmic light, enduring a long, barren stretch of exploration.

Shen Ni finally sensed the aura of the Zao Hua law.

“This is it!” Shen Ni rejoiced.

He immediately lifted the bronze coffin.

Xiang Gu Zhi Shi also faintly sensed a mysterious world!

“Break through the world barrier!” Xiang Gu Zhi Shi acted decisively, swinging his heavenly halberd and striking the world barrier alongside Shen Ni.

BOOM!!!

The earth trembled, mountains shook.

The boundary between reality and illusion shattered instantly.

They stood atop the timeline, looking down.

Before them appeared a boundlessly splendid world; a vast, overwhelming Zao Hua spiritual aura washed over them.

Xiang Gu Zhi Shi felt a refreshing, soul-soothing sensation.

“Yes! This is it!”

Xiang Gu Zhi Shi burst into laughter.

Then he saw, amid the mist, a primordial spiritual vine winding like a dragon.

Holy shit—what is that?

“Primordial Gourd Vine!” Xiang Gu Zhi Shi stared, dumbfounded.

“A tremendous opportunity!”

Shen Ni’s eyes lit up.

He was about to step forward when a glance caught his eye—a blue lotus floating in midair.

“Zao Hua Blue Lotus!” Shen Ni was stunned.

What kind of luck is this? Two supreme spiritual roots growing side by side!

“Fortune has turned at last! Fortune has turned at last!” Shen Ni was ecstatic.

“Look! Isn’t that Huang Zhongli?” Xiang Gu zhi Shi shouted loudly.

Shen Ni looked and saw a divine tree.

The divine tree manifested countless scenes: three shadows bloomed from its flowers, nine shadows formed from its fruits.

The flowers and fruits appeared simultaneously, each bearing the characters “Huang Zhong.”

Shen Ni could no longer breathe.

“The top ten primordial spiritual roots—and three are right before us?”

Xiang Gu zhi Shi felt as if he were dreaming.

He glanced around again and soon spotted another spiritual root.

The primordial Pan Tao tree appeared prominently, and atop it lounged a three-colored cat.

Shen Ni also felt it was unreal: “Have we fallen into a nest of spiritual roots?”

Waves of spacetime rippled continuously.

The primordial spiritual aura grew increasingly dense.

Multicolored radiant light descended upon this world.

All of them were spiritual roots!!

“We’re rich!” Shen Ni’s eyes gleamed as he charged straight into this brocade world.

Just as Xiang Gu zhi Shi was about to follow, a sudden sense of alarm rose in his heart—he instantly snapped to clarity, sensing something was off.

“Has Feng Dao you not arrived yet?” “He should be coming soon—let’s wait a bit longer.”

“Yue Yuezi has arrived too!”

“Xiao Sang? That’s Xiao Sang!”

“Are you the Grape Patriarch?” “Yes, it’s me.”

In the void, one by one, spiritual roots arrived and joyfully recognized each other.

Suddenly, they spotted Shen Ni charging toward them.

“What kind of spiritual root is He?” Many spiritual roots didn’t recognize Shen Ni and looked bewildered.

The Ginseng Fruit Tree was the first to sense something amiss.

“He’s Shen Ni! The number one terrorist of Hong Huang!”

The Ginseng Fruit Tree cried out.

“All of you, attack together! Kill him!” He pulled out a golden striker and lunged at Shen Ni.

Xi Wang Mu, pretending to be the primordial Pan Tao tree, hurled Lu Wu away.

“Meow? Shen Ni!!”

Lu Wu instantly awakened, transforming into his true form and lunging forward.

“Everyone, charge together! Kill him!” The Grape Patriarch Qitian flung a vine, swiftly sealing the void.

Primordial Hu Lu vine, Zao Hua Qing Lian, Huang Zhongli, Yue Gui, Fu Sang…

One by one, the primordial spiritual roots unleashed terrifying divine might.

“Damn it, it’s a trap!”

Xiang Gu zhi Shi stood dumbfounded—he decisively abandoned Shen Ni and turned to flee.

In the instant he departed.

A heavenly blade descended.

“You’re Shen Ni, right? Stand still!”

“Robbery!”
