Chapter 123: The Surprised Chaos Demon God! The Rapid Metamorphosis of the Human Race!

Great Immortal Yang Mei silently observed this peculiar region of Chaos.

While waiting patiently, he pondered the situations he might encounter and considered his countermeasures.

If what was gestating here was a treasure, he would naturally claim it as his own; there was no suspense about that.

But if what was gestating here was an anomaly like Pangu, he would need to formulate different strategies based on the other party's strength.

If the other party's strength was weak, he could first attempt to subdue them, and if he could not, he would exterminate them. If the other party's strength was formidable, he would strive to curry favor with them!

In short, he could not let the damage Pangu had caused him in the past repeat itself! As it turned out, this wait of his lasted for a full two months.

For an existence such as him, this amount of time was merely the blink of an eye.

Yet in this short time, Great Immortal Yang Mei felt, one after another, many different Great Dao fluctuations and Law changes within the Chaos vortex ahead!

Yin/yang, Five Elements, lightning, devouring...

Even the fluctuations of the Space Great Dao, which Yang Mei was familiar with, had appeared within the vortex.

Moreover, the pattern of their appearance was not fixed; sometimes they appeared individually, and sometimes they were mixed together, which was extremely strange! According to Yang Mei's knowledge, creatures gestated in Chaos were generally born upholding a certain Great Dao Law, and after birth, they would naturally continue to advance along that one Great Dao, pursuing perfection.

For instance, he had always specialized in the Space Great Dao.

It was precisely because of this that he felt more and more that the current situation did not look like a Chaos creature was gestating, but rather like some Chaos Spirit Treasure was about to be born! He could not tell what it was, but he felt that if he could obtain this item, it would surely be of great benefit!

"Perhaps, after refining this item, I will be able to return to the Great Desolation and go find that Hongjun to take my revenge!"

But just as Great Immortal Yang Mei was full of anticipation, and even neglected his own cultivation while waiting for this Spirit Treasure to be born, he suddenly sensed that other Chaos creatures were approaching this side.

He could not help but frown.

He was naturally aware of the existence of these Chaos creatures; they were clearly also startled by the commotion here, but because the distance was great, or because their strength was insufficient, they had only arrived here now.

Thinking of this, Yang Mei's expression gradually turned cold.

The treasure about to be born in the Chaos vortex was already viewed by him as something in his pocket, and he naturally would not allow others to come and get a share!

His first thought was to drive them away.

But as he prepared to take action, his gaze turned cold: No, it was better to directly exterminate them to ensure no word would leak out! The Chaos creature that had been attracted over had strength only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, which was nothing but an ant to Great Immortal Yang Mei.

Upon discovering the appearance of Great Immortal Yang Mei, it was so frightened that it wanted to flee immediately, but it was already too late.

Great Immortal Yang Mei struck with force and quickly suppressed and killed it.

After exterminating the other party, Great Immortal Yang Mei returned to the vicinity of the Chaos vortex and continued to wait silently.

Then, he discovered that after the origin of the Chaos creature he had slain merged into the Chaos, it was actually quickly absorbed by that Chaos vortex.

Moreover, after absorbing the origin of that Chaos creature, the vortex's rotation actually accelerated, and the range of its influence also expanded.

Regarding this, Great Immortal Yang Mei was not alarmed but delighted.

In this way, couldn't he slay more Chaos creatures to accelerate the "treasure's" growth? For a time, he was instead looking forward to more Chaos creatures being attracted here.

The Primordial Land.

Near the large mountain where the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood was located.

In just a few short months, one Human Tribe after another had already formed at the foot of this mountain, surrounding it in a scene of prosperity.

Duobao, taking Zhao Gongming and others, transformed into the likeness of ordinary humans and walked through a tribe, watching with great interest the many humans around them working hard to build wooden houses and grass sheds.

Over these past few months, they could be said to have witnessed with their own eyes how these humans came from all directions to gather at the foot of this mountain, and how they transformed the originally barren foothills into the interconnected tribes of today.

They even secretly contributed their efforts to help the humans with construction in order to obtain various delicious foods from them.

It was precisely because they witnessed it with their own eyes that they felt even more the unity, tenacity, and powerful creativity of the Human Race, which far exceeded many other races in the Great Desolation! Yunxiao could not help but sigh, saying in a voice only they could hear: "If things continue like this, this place might soon become the second holy land of the Human Race!"

To this, the others also expressed their agreement.

The first holy land of the Human Race was naturally the Human Ancestral Land of the Great Desolation, Shouyang Mountain, which was also the place of origin for the Human Race and where Nuwa created humans.

The area under Shouyang Mountain naturally became the base camp for the Primordial Human Race, and Shouyang Mountain was also where Jingyang Palace, the dojo of the Ren Sect Saint Taiqing, was located! Normally, a second location similar to the Human Ancestral Land would basically not appear on the Primordial Land.

Because the resources that could be provided for the Human Race to multiply and thrive in various places were limited, it was destined that the number of people in various Human Tribes had an upper limit.

Once the food that could be obtained could not satisfy the entire population of a tribe, then naturally a portion of the humans would have to migrate to other places to open up another tribe.

This was also the reason why the Human Race left the Ancestral Land and spread to all parts of the Great Desolation!

The difference was that the Ancestral Land gathered many elites of the Human Race and had many powerful Innate Humans, allowing them to hunt in a much larger range than other Human Tribes, which was the only way they could support so many humans.

And as Lu Yun preached to the Human Race, the overall strength of the Human Race was rapidly improving, the hunting range of each tribe was greatly expanded, and the number of tribesmen they could support naturally increased greatly; some Human Tribes that were already relatively close even began to merge spontaneously.

As for this originally unremarkable mountain before them, the reason why it was chosen by the surrounding Primordial Human Race to be built upon was naturally because this was the place where Lu Yun lived in seclusion! Today, Lu Yun's status among the Human Race had even surpassed the Three Ancestors of the Human Race, second only to Nuwa, the Holy Mother of the Human Race!

With Lu Yun in seclusion here, the nearby humans naturally wanted to stand guard. In any case, they originally lived nearby, and now that their strength had improved, even if they merged together, they were not afraid of their tribesmen going hungry; they could defend against enemies together, guard Lu Yun, and make it convenient for their tribesmen to use the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood for Tribulation Transcendence Becoming Immortal—why wouldn't they do it? It is worth mentioning that in just a few short months, thanks to the Martial Dao and Literature Dao passed down by Lu Yun, and with the help of the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood for Tribulation Transcendence, over a hundred Immortals had already been born among the nearby humans!

And looking at the entire Great Desolation, the number of humans becoming Immortals was increasing day by day, at a speed that even made other races somewhat uneasy.

Other races naturally did not want the Human Race to develop too quickly, so they thought of severely defeating the Human Race before they became a threat to themselves.

In any case, the ten-thousand-year period of protection for the Human Race mentioned by Nuwa in the past had long since passed, and Nuwa had once indicated that she would not interfere in normal inter-race competition.

But what made the other races depressed was that while Nuwa indeed did not interfere, the Wu Clan could not stand to see them bullying the Human Race!

Just because the Wu Clan across the Great Desolation had all learned many methods of cooking delicious food from the humans, and even learned the "characters" created by Lu Yun! They spontaneously began to help the humans repay favors, and incidentally wanted to find opportunities to get more different ingredients.

As a result, those tribes that dared to attack Human Tribes often tragically became ingredients themselves! Moreover, the Wu Clan only took those among them with powerful strength, and adopted an attitude of temporarily releasing the weak members of those tribes, which ultimately benefited the Human Race! For a time, the development speed of those Human Tribes that had experienced attacks actually became even faster! At this moment, seeing that it was dusk, Duobao and the others intended to eat a meal with a group of humans who had just finished their construction.

Chang'er Dingguang Xian could not help but ask Duobao: "Senior Brother, how much longer do we have to stay here?"

Duobao could not help but glance at him, suppressing the urge to try using him as an ingredient, and replied: "Of course we stay until the Sect Leader tells us to leave!"

Chang'er Dingguang Xian could not help but suffer in silence.

It turned out that the reason they had remained here all this time was because they were following the orders of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Because the Three Pure Ones were preparing for the matter of preaching to the Human Race, they needed someone to help keep an eye on the movements of the Human Race to ensure nothing went wrong.

Laozi was worried that Lu Yun might suddenly cause some trouble again and disrupt their plans.

It just so happened that Tongtian discovered that several of his disciples were still in the area of the Zhushan Tribe, so he sent a voice transmission telling them to stay here and help keep watch.

Regarding this, Chang'er Dingguang Xian originally had no objections.

Because he also very much enjoys the many delicacies prepared by the Human Race, except for food made from the Long-eared Beast. Having stayed here for a few months, he has even gained a whole circle of fat!

What truly makes Chang'er Dingguang Xian restless is that their Eldest Senior Brother Duobao, for some reason, has a special fondness for Long-eared Beast ingredients; recently, the way he looks at him has become increasingly strange, to the point that Chang'er Dingguang Xian is secretly terrified, yet he dares not flee without authorization, and can only continue to feign composure.

While the few were chatting casually, they did not forget to quickly find two tables nearby to sit around, just waiting for those members of the Human Race skilled in cooking to prepare the food.

It must be said that the creativity of the Human Race is very powerful; Lu Yun previously only demonstrated a few dishes, and now they have created many new variations, to the point that Duobao and the others feel there is new food every day.

Moreover, as the overall strength of the Primordial Human Race has improved, and with the existence of writing, communication between the Human Race in various places has become more convenient, allowing them to exchange what they have for what they lack, directly causing the civilization of the Human Race to improve at an astonishing speed!

In the past, it was not that there were no inventions or creations by the Human Race, but the speed of spreading them to other places was simply too slow; now, it has completely changed.

Tribes that are close can communicate face-to-face, while tribes that are far away can contact each other through the unique "Fire Inheritance" of the Human Race! Having experienced the "Fire Live Stream" of Lu Yun's preaching last time, the Human Race has long been obsessed with this method.

Especially since the Fire of Inheritance of Suirenshi has been blessed by Heavenly Dao Merit, it has now become even more miraculous; not only can it allow the Human Race in various places to contact the ancestral land, it can even allow tribes in various places to contact each other!

In this way, the advantage of the Human Race's large population has been magnified infinitely!

While waiting to eat, Duobao's gaze could not help but look again in the direction of the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood.

More accurately, he was looking at the area beneath the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood, the location where the entrance and exit of the Map of Mountains and Rivers of the State were originally located.

He is actually quite curious; Lu Yun has been in seclusion for several months without anyone noticing, does he now have some astonishing progress?

If it were someone else in seclusion, he would not think about these things.

After all, he had just personally watched Lu Yun survive the Golden Immortal Tribulation and quickly achieve Golden Immortal Peak. Under these circumstances, an ordinary Golden Immortal, let alone a few months, might not even have a chance to break through in decades or centuries.

Yet, Lu Yun's previous improvements were all very inconceivable; Duobao even suspects that when Lu Yun comes out of seclusion again, will his strength already exceed him, the eldest disciple of the Jie Sect?

Of course, even if Lu Yun really surpassed him, he would not feel it was too strange.

After all, this human is a wonder who even Tongtian Jiaozhu and the Three Pure Ones dare not underestimate, and even decided to jointly preach once to counterattack; he is even a fierce person who had the Hongmeng Purple Qi stuffed into him by the Dao Ancestor, only to turn around and sell the Hongmeng Purple Qi!

Duobao admits he dares not compare himself with the other party.

Because that would be asking for trouble! Just at this moment, he suddenly heard Zhao Gongming say to him: "Eldest Senior Brother, where has Senior Brother Xuandu run off to?"

Duobao came back to his senses, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Ever since Lu Yun's preaching ended, Xuandu ran off to travel the Great Desolation. As for where he is now, how would this poor Taoist know?"

Qiongxiao, however, remembered another matter and asked: "By the way, I heard that the Sun Star was attacked again recently, but it was blocked by that Donghuang Taiyi, which is why it did not disturb Di Jun's seclusion. Eldest Senior Brother, do you think that Di Jun has a chance of Proving the Dao and Becoming a Saint?"

The others also looked at Duobao curiously.

Duobao smiled helplessly and said: "Such matters are not something that a lowly Taiyi Golden Immortal like this poor Daoist can judge! This poor Daoist can only say, if it weren't for the lack of strength, this poor Daoist would also want to go to that Sun Star to snatch the Hongmeng Purple Qi!"

Nowadays, it is generally accepted in the Great Desolation that the Hongmeng Purple Qi is in the hands of Di Jun, and everyone knows that Di Jun is hiding on the Sun Star practicing in seclusion.

That is why there are people trying to rush into the Sun Star to snatch the Hongmeng Purple Qi from time to time.

Fortunately, Taiyi is capable, which is why he has been able to block the attacks time and time again. But because of this, Taiyi has suffered quite a few losses.

At this time, Taiyi in the Outer Space was very angry: "Who exactly leaked the news? Why does everyone know that my elder brother is in seclusion on the Sun Star?"

The various Demon Saints in front of him looked at each other, and none of them spoke.

However, they all thought of one name in unison—Kunpeng! (End of chapter)
