  Jiang Lan was sitting on the Tree of Creation. His eyes were closed, but it was as if they were open.

  He saw the boulder below and the dejected old man.

  And the villagers who were looking over from afar.

  The entire Treefront Village was in his eyes. The village and the changes in space were all clear to him.

  He seemed to be able to see everything.

  His Deity Position was resonating with them.

  He seemed to better blend in with them.

  Light was spreading bit by bit. The Tree of Creation was shaking, also growing.

  The old man was a little shocked and didn’t know what the Exalted God wanted to do.

  However, the light continued spreading, the space continued expanding, and even the land continued extending.

  The new land did not appear out of thin air. Instead, some of the lands that had been devoured by the void were slowly returning.

  The scene was like a miracle.

  “He really is the Exalted God.” The elder looked at the Tree of Creation and sighed.

  However, this new Exalted God still managed to inherit the Deity Position even though he knew very little about the Ancient Emperor.

  This meant that Ancient Imperial Court was most likely destroyed.

  However, it was impossible for him to know what was going on. Even this new Exalted God did not seem to know.

  However, he was certain that this Exalted God was not here to hold them accountable.

  As for what would happen next, he could only follow the arrangements of the other party.

  When the other villagers saw the light of the Tree of Creation and the surrounding land, they were naturally very happy.

  This meant that they now had more room to live in, and their crops and population will increase.

  However, there were also people who were worried that the originally unchanging village had now changed.

  No one knew what would happen next.

  This was an instinctive fear of change.

  Jiang Lan could see their expressions.

  He didn’t have any other thoughts and began to examine the void.

  Everything was very complicated, so complicated that it was impossible for him to see and know what was happening clearly.

  It was as if countless lines were constantly interweaving and changing.

  Jiang Lan looked at these lines, trying to understand and make sense of them.

  As time passed, he felt that he had gained some enlightenment.

  His Dao began to light up within his body, as if it was being reconstructed. It was constructed in greater detail based on his newfound understanding of space.

  He had already stepped onto his own Dao path.

  The Dao path was like a bridge that allowed him to walk to the other side of the void.

  On the other side was the Dao Immortal Realm.

  But now, with Jiang Lan’s comprehension of space, the bridge began to reconstruct itself, becoming more solid and vast.

  After an unknown period of time, Jiang Lan looked at the surrounding space and began to look outside through the space.

  The more he saw, the more he understood.

  The world of Dao around him was now becoming more and more corporeal.

  New things began to appear before Jiang Lan’s eyes. It was land, a vast and boundless plot of it.

  His gaze moved up.

  He saw the wilderness, and the Heavenly Human Race who was constructing a sealing array formation at the edge of the wilderness, attempting to seal off an area of land.

  He also saw the endless lightning in the sky, the blazing sun, and the darkness.

  This was the Dao, the embodiment of the great Dao.

  This Dao was different from his and he could not comprehend it.

  However, the Dao allowed his horizons and mind to expand.

  This was the first time he had seen such a broad and powerful Dao.

  At this moment, in the middle of Dao, he discovered three figures. They were his master, the demons, and…


  A Netherworld being?

  His master was fighting one against two.

  Dao appeared on his master’s fingertips, and lightning condensed in the sky.

  At this moment, the huge Netherworld expert’s left arm was restrained by lightning.

  His master’s Dao streaked across his arm.

  Bang!

  A silent explosion sounded.

  The Netherworld expert’s arm shattered on the spot.

  With that, his master flew above the Netherworld expert and kicked down.

  His Dao followed.

  Jiang Lan could see very clearly that the other party’s Dao was defending, but it was directly disintegrated by his master’s kick.

  Bang!

  Sandstorm surged.

  The Netherworld expert was struck into the ground by his master, and the power of the Demon Race expert followed suit.

  The light of the scorching sun came towards his master with the intention to burn everything.

  However, Jiang Lan discovered that his master did not avoid it.

  He extended his hand and resisted the demon’s attack.

  The power of the great Dao surged.

  Boom!

  The scorching sun collided with the hand of lightning.

  At this moment, the hand of lightning enveloped the scorching sun and began to close.

  A powerful impact erupted.

  Bang!

  The scorching sun was crushed by the hand of lightning. The great Dao of his master suppressed it as his master’s power surged and began to counterattack.

  The lightning pierced towards the demon like a spear.

  Pu!

  The spear pierced through the demon and forced it back.

  The Netherworld expert wanted to seize the opportunity to get up, but Jiang Lan saw the great Dao pressing down on him.

  It was his master who stepped on the head of the Netherworld expert and stomped him into the ground again.

  The other party was very powerful.

  Jiang Lan’s mind trembled slightly. His master’s Dao power had indeed been damaged.

  However, he still managed to suppress and overpower two Dao Immortals.

  He seemed to be invincible.

  This was the first time he saw his master fight with someone.

  However, he soon frowned. A ripple appeared in his mind, and the Tree of Creation could not completely cover it up.

  He was going to be discovered.

  Without any hesitation, he retreated.

  …


  After injuring the two, Mo Zhengdong stood rooted to the spot.

  He planned to kill the Netherworld expert first.

  Comparitively, the Netherworld expert was easier to deal with.

  Even though Di Jing was seriously injured by him, it was not easy to kill him.

  In the Demon Race, Di Jing’s battle prowess was not ranked one of the top few amongst the Dao Immortals, but he was sufficiently prepared every time he took action.

  He was akin to his Junior Sister Miao Yue. It was easy to defeat her but it would take quite some time to kill her.

  As for the Netherworld Dao Immortal, he was still unable to figure out his current situation.

  His strength and intelligence were all very ordinary.

  If the other party was sufficiently prepared, it might take some effort to kill him, but…


  It was already too late.

  Di Jing looked at Mo Zhengdong with a frown. He was in pain as he stabilized his injuries.

  However, he suddenly looked underground.

  Mo Zhengdong turned to look as well.

  There was a gaze watching them.

  And something was very wrong. He could not capture it at all.

  Di Jing frowned.

  “Is it the one from last time? No, it’s completely different. I can’t find the source at all. I can’t even attack it.”


  However, very quickly, he saw that the gaze disappeared. It seemed to be heading towards the sky, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be heading towards the ground.

  What was this?

  “He can peer through the heavens and the ground?” Mo Zhengdong asked softly. Then, he retracted his gaze and looked at Di Jing.

  “What did you summon?”


  “Kunlun is powerful and has deep foundations. Can’t you guess?” Di Jing looked at Mo Zhengdong and said calmly.

  It was as if he was belittling Kunlun, saying that they didn’t even know about this.

  Of course, he actually didn’t know either.

  Because he had only borrowed some of the characteristics of the place here, he had no idea what the core of this place was.

  He could not enter or sense it.

  Mo Zhengdong looked at Di Jing coldly as lightning surged.

  He wanted to kill the Netherworld expert.

  Of course, what he asked just now was just a mere self-thought. He might know the origin of that gaze.

  Although it was just a guess.

  But with his previous erroneous guesses, he had roughly figured out who it might be.

  Perhaps Kunlun was the biggest winner in this matter.

  Boom!

  The power of lightning surged, and Mo Zhengdong’s feet were covered by lightning.

  The mountain-sized Netherworld expert began to struggle frantically.

  “There’s nothing wrong with coming out. What you did wrong was that you didn’t know your position.

  Releasing a Dao Immortal is nothing to me, but you shouldn’t have hindered me.

  This is a lesson. Be careful in your next life.” Mo Zhengdong’s cold voice reached the Netherworld expert’s ears.

  Boom!

  Lightning wreaked havoc.

  Roar!

  Miserable roars rang out as the Netherworld expert tried to return to the entrance of the Netherworld and disappear.

  However, how could Mo Zhengdong let him go?

  “I don’t know the exact situation in the Netherworld, but the Grand Desolate World is definitely different from what you think.

  This place is crueler than you think.

  It’s easy to come out from the Netherworld, but it’s difficult to go back.”

  “No, I—”


  Boom!

  The purple gold lightning surged into the Netherworld expert’s body and disintegrated it bit by bit.

  After the surrounding purple gold lightning disappeared, the figure of the Netherworld expert also disappeared.

  The purple lightning was exhausted.

  This was something that could not be helped. It was not easy to kill a Dao Immortal, even if the other party was unprepared.

  There was always a price to pay.

  Mo Zhengdong and the Netherworld expert were both Dao Immortals, but their strengths were different.

  Some focused on offense while others focused on defense.

  It was the degree of comprehension of the Dao and the specific direction where one branched off into that determined one’s ability.

  Di Jing’s face turned pale as he watched the Netherworld Dao Immortal fall.

  “A person who can guard the entrance to the Netherworld alone is indeed not simple.

  However, the other party seems to be a hothead as well.

  But a Dao Immortal is afterall still a Dao Immortal. It should have still been a burden for you to kill him.

  Then do you still want to kill me as well?” Di Jing looked at Mo Zhengdong and reminded him.

  “You should have sensed that someone is coming this way and that person is a Dao Immortal. He is definitely not a hot head as well.

  Killing me will consume your remaining strength.

  At that time, you can escape, but what about your disciple?”


  After dealing with the Netherworld expert, Mo Zhengdong raised his head to look at Di Jing before extending his hand.

  Black lightning appeared from the void.

  Slosh.

  Boom!

  Bang!

  The black lightning landed on Di Jing’s body, heavily injuring him and forcing him back.

  Di Jing spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Mo Zhengdong in disbelief.

  “Black lightning? Netherworld Dao?

  You actually…


  Managed to comprehend a new Dao? ”


  “I’ve been in charge of the Ninth Summit for many years. Since I have nothing to do, why can’t I comprehend the Dao in the depths of the Netherworld?” Mo Zhengdong looked at Di Jing with a calm expression.

  “You think you have a backup plan, but do you think that the me you see is the complete me?

  You’re too naive.”


  “I really don’t quite understand.” At this moment, Di Jing’s body began to glow. He needed to use all his strength and couldn’t hold back anymore.

  “Why did the ten of you appear in Kunlun in the same generation?

  It is as if all the ten geniuses of the Grand Desolate World were gathered together in the same place.

  You, the Kunlun Sect Master, Jiu Zhongtian, and Feng Yixiao. The others might not know, but I know very well that the four of you are even more terrifying.

  The appearance of you all have subverted our understanding of the Human Race.

  I’ve always thought that I’ve never underestimated you, but I realized that I’ve still underestimated you.”


  Di Jing’s injuries began to recover. Then, his power flashed like light.

  “You might have underestimated the entire Kunlun.” Mo Zhengdong took a step forward as dark lightning surged.

  There was still something he had yet to say in his heart. The ten of us might just be paving the way for a true genius.

  Boom!

  Mo Zhengdong moved.

  A new series of clashes between the two began.

  Outside the wastelands.

  The Heavenly Human Race’s Dao Immortal was also walking towards the battlefield step by step.

  He did not want to interfere now.

  It was not time yet, but his arrival would give Mo Zhengdong pressure.

  This was enough.

  Once there was outside pressure during the battle, it would have a huge impact.

  Although he did not make a move, it was already considered a move.

  After all, everyone knew why the Heavenly Human Race came this time.

  It was not for Mo Zhengdong.

  Instead, it was for Mo Zhengdong’s disciple, the one who had most likely comprehended the Empyrean Scripture.

  Or the one who would definitely comprehend the Empyrean Scripture in the future.

  This was not something their Heavenly Human Race could tolerate.

  And the surroundings had already been isolated by them, so it was impossible for the two master and disciple to ask for help now.

  Now, it all depended on how long the Demon Race’s Di Jing could last and how much strength Mo Zhengdong could use.

  Then, it would be time for him to make his move.

  As for whether Jiang Lan was here or not, it wasn’t that important.

  He would kill him with all his might.

  If he wasn’t around, he would disintegrate the walls.

  Mo Zhengdong was the wall.

  At this moment, the other Heavenly Human Race members were also slowly approaching.

  “Everyone, the person you are looking for is underground in the center of the wasteland.”


  Suddenly, Di Jing’s voice could be heard.

  Qi Wei of the Heavenly Human Race frowned slightly. He understood that Di Jing wasn’t Mo Zhengdong’s opponent.

  These words made Mo Zhengdong’s heart waver.

  Unless he didn’t care about his disciple.

  But a large portion of humans… cared about their descendants.

  At this moment, they began to approach bit by bit. With the presence of Qi Wei, who was at the Dao Immortal Realm, the shockwaves from their attacks did not affect them much.

  Furthermore, only by focusing one’s strength in a limited area could one unleash his true power.

  If Mo Zhengdong wanted to deal with Di Jing quickly, he couldn’t waste his energy.

  Therefore, the group of people from the Heavenly Human Race wasn’t really affected.

  …


  …


  On the Tree of Creation.

  Jiang Lan’s mind regained its calm. He hadn’t been discovered, followed, or attacked.

  It was due to the protection of the Tree of Creation.

  His gaze was on the ground and in the sky.

  It was as if he could see the world.

  The blue sky, white clouds, soil, and dark rivers could be seen.

  The world was not like what he had seen before.

  There were many unique and magical places, but none of them had any special powers.

  It was an extraordinary sight.

  Boom!

  At this moment, the world of the Dao began to spin.

  The rising sun began to illuminate the world. The world changed. The leaves had shadows. The earth felt warm. Something seemed to be growing deep in the earth.

  Everything revolved and changed.

  Jiang Lan immersed himself in it, sensing the changes, experiencing his own Dao.

  It seemed unusually solid.

  Time passed. Perhaps a day, a month, or a year.

  He felt the resonance between his Deity Position and the Tree of Creation begin to disappear.

  That state of comprehension gradually retreated.

  However, he had already experienced what he needed to experience.

  When the light of the Tree of Creation faded, Jiang Lan had also retracted his Dao.

  The Dao calmed down in his body. Everything seemed to have turned into his flesh and blood, but it also didn’t seem to have.

  After the Dao calmed down, Jiang Lan felt a force growing and flowing within his body.

  It was as if he was reaping the rewards from cultivating for decades.

  The power of his golden body was no longer the same as before.

  “I’m actually close to the late-stage Celestial Immortal Realm.”


  Jiang Lan opened his eyes and looked at his hands in disbelief.

  The Tree of Creation had given him a big gift.

  He did not know who left it for him, but as long as he had the Deity Position, he could try to pluck this gift.

  He had successfully removed it.

  It had unimaginable benefits to his Dao.

  His cultivation speed could even increase again, and his cultivation might even be easier for him after he became a Dao Immortal.

  With this thought in mind, Jiang Lan no longer hesitated and chose to sign in.

  “System, sign in here.”


  He didn’t know how long he had been sitting on the Tree of Creation.

  But with the accumulation of time, there were even more benefits.

  Soon, he heard a voice from the system.

  [Ding!]

  [Signed in successfully…… Congratulations to the host for obtaining the gift of the Great Dao. You have obtained a Creation of Heaven and Earth, the core of the Tree of Creation]
