Chapter 18 Clear Causality, the Legacy of Will

“Brother, the treasure!”

Nuwa beside him looked up at Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan’s heart beat slightly faster—this was the greatest opportunity he had encountered since crossing into the primordial era. But he did not immediately move to take it.

Taking a deep breath, he kept his mind clear and took a few steps forward. Facing the empty void and the three supreme treasures, he bowed deeply.

“I, Chu Yuan, a latecomer, have by chance entered this place and witnessed the remaining grace of the Great Pangu. This is truly a blessing of three lifetimes.”

Chu Yuan’s voice was sincere and respectful.

“The Great God opened the heavens and earth, transforming into all things, blessing the primordial world—I am immensely grateful.”

“This treasure here, I dare not take it without permission. Yet in the competition of the Dao, strength is fundamental, and I too require treasures to protect my path of cultivation.”

“If the Great God’s spirit is present and willing to bestow this legacy upon me, I hereby swear: if I achieve success in the future, I will do everything in my power to protect the descendants left by Great Pangu, repaying this grace of today!”

“If the Great God consents, I will take the treasure.”

“If not, I will not force it, and humbly ask the Great God to send me away from this place.”

After finishing, Chu Yuan remained bowed and did not rise. Though the peak of Mount Buzhou was deserted and bore the terrifying pressure of Pangu, it was not considered a forbidden zone by the great beings of the primordial age. No one knew how many had come before.

Yet, when Chu Yuan arrived, he discovered this hidden heaven and earth. There must be something unusual inside!

To recklessly take the treasure without sufficient strength would surely create great karmic consequences. Therefore, even facing the temptation of supreme treasures, Chu Yuan remained calm and clear-headed.

After he finished speaking, silence filled the hidden realm. No one knew how long passed, and just as Chu Yuan felt anxious, the entire hidden realm suddenly trembled slightly!

An ancient, vast, and boundless will, as if crossing endless time and space, descended upon this place. It made no sound, yet clearly transmitted a sense of “approval” and “expectation” into Chu Yuan’s primordial spirit. Then, like a tide, the will receded, and the hidden realm returned to tranquility.

Chu Yuan slowly straightened up, a faint smile appearing on his face. That willpower just now was indeed the lingering essence of the great Pangu God!

Without hesitation, Chu Yuan once again respectfully bowed to the void. Then, cautiously, he stepped forward. First, he carefully transplanted the towering Ten-Thousand-Zhang Huangzhong Plum along with the Nine Heavens’ Vital Soil beneath it, entirely into his Creation Tower.

With this divine treasure inside, the space within the Creation Tower instantly surged with spiritual energy, causing all the spiritual roots and immortal herbs within to burst forth with unprecedented vitality.

Next, he reached out and grasped the Hongmeng Heavenly Measuring Ruler. The ruler felt warm and smooth in his hand, a golden light of merit naturally flowing, establishing a slight connection with his primordial spirit, as if it had always belonged to him.

It recognized its master directly, requiring no ritual purification at all. Finally, Chu Yuan came before the small gray pool, his gaze heavy and focused on the single drop of Pangu’s Bone Marrow.

Within it was contained terrifying energy and supreme Dao resonance. Taking a deep breath, he carefully used great magic power to seal a drop of the marrow into a specially made jade box, keeping it close at hand.

Along with it, he also took in the gray treasure pool formed from the aura dispersed from Pangu’s spinal marrow. After completing all this, Chu Yuan once again bowed to the cave heaven, then, accompanied by Nuwa, exited this Pangu Legacy land.

…

Leaving the Pangu Cave Heaven, Chu Yuan felt as if a day had passed in the blink of an eye. The gains from the summit of Mount Buzhou this time were truly immense, enough to smooth his future path in Dao cultivation significantly.

Especially that single drop of Pangu’s Bone Marrow—it was an unparalleled treasure tailor-made for the Gu (witchcraft) path. As long as he could refine it, his cultivation and physical strength would surely undergo a tremendous transformation!

“Time waits for no one. The Dragon-Phoenix Great Calamity is escalating rapidly. I must quickly improve my strength!”

A resolute gleam flashed in Chu Yuan’s eyes.

He did not leave the peak of Mount Buzhou immediately but instead found a relatively secluded mountain hollow nearby where the fierce wind was slightly weaker.

After settling Nuwa there and informing her that he was going into seclusion to cultivate, Chu Yuan entered a state of deep meditation. He did not rush for quick results but spent several years first, calming his mind and focusing his spirit, adjusting his own state to the peak of his power.

Once everything was ready, Chu Yuan finally took out a drop of Pangu’s marrow. The gray liquid droplet floated in the air, emanating an ancient and majestic aura, and the surrounding space slightly twisted because of its presence.

Chu Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes firm, opened his mouth, and swallowed the supreme divine marrow containing the mysteries of creation!

Boom!!!

It was as if a chaotic star exploded inside his body!

An unimaginable terrifying energy surged like a breaking dam, instantly flooding Chu Yuan’s limbs, bones, meridians, and acupoints. That energy was wild, primal, filled with the destructive and creative power of world-creation, almost bursting Chu Yuan’s body apart!

The hidden advantage of the innate spiritual jade transformation was fully revealed at this moment. In terms of sheer toughness, Chu Yuan’s physical body strength was unmatched among his peers!
