Volume One: The Tribulation of Magi and Demons Chapter 255: All Ancestral Witches Attain the Dao, The Zhou Tian Star Dou Undergoes a Startling Transformation

"Is this the power of the Primordial Golden Immortal of Hunyuan? I never expected that by choosing sacrifice, we would instead achieve a breakthrough!"

Zhurong and Gonggong, the two Ancestral Witches, felt the mighty power surging within them and spoke in fascinated tones.

"If not for Uncle secretly lending a hand from the shadows, how could success have come so easily?"

As their voices trailed off, the aura of the several Ancestral Witches surged once more, rising steadily until it finally stopped upon breaking through to the fourth tier of the Primordial Golden Immortal of Hunyuan.

What Dijian and the others did not know was that while they were breaking through to the Primordial Golden Immortal, the outside world of the Great Wilderness was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

These changes were so profound that even the Heavenly Dao's Hongjun was alarmed.

Sanqing and the others all stared at the Great Wilderness mainland, which had suddenly expanded severalfold, accompanied by Primordial Spiritual Qi that had grown two to three times denser.

"Is it because of the Dao Lord that the Great Wilderness has undergone such massive changes?"

"It should not be, but it is likely closely related to the Dao Lord!"

Zhenyuanzi experienced the most profound realization; on one hand, he held the exalted position of the Earthly Dao Saint Monarch, and on the other hand, he discovered that as the three sets of lotus pedestals merged with the Great Wilderness to form a grand formation, the Earthly Immortal Realm had also become much more stable, with spiritual qi growing more than twice as concentrated.

Zhenyuanzi thought to himself that the Great Wilderness must be undergoing dimensional ascension once again, having experienced it once before. He could clearly see that this situation was similar to the previous ascension.

"The dimensional ascension of the Great Wilderness is imminent. You all must do your utmost to lessen the turbulence and prevent too many living beings from falling into disaster because of this ascension."

The next instant, Hongjun glanced at Qingxuan, who remained entirely unresponsive. Hongjun then directly invoked the power of the Heavenly Dao, using it to halt the continuously expanding Great Wilderness earth.

Following Hongjun's appearance, Nüwa also manifested within the Great Wilderness, standing alongside Sanqing and the Two Sages of the West.

"We obey Teacher's instructions!" Sanqing and the others replied, bowing to Hongjun.

By now, the Great Wilderness was already vast enough; what was lacking instead was greater stability and the enhancement of its foundational origin, rather than blind expansion.

Sanqing each retrieved their respective magic treasures and set to work.

Yet they did not notice that Hongjun gave them several extra glances of scrutiny.

As the Great Wilderness underwent its dimensional ascension, the Six Sages worked to stabilize its spatial dimensions.

The aura around Qingxuan also began to surge rapidly, while Yangmei remained steadfast by Qingxuan's side like a guardian of the Dao, paying no attention whatsoever to the current state of the Great Wilderness.

Meanwhile, Wangshu also fluttered gracefully over from the Lunar Star.

Even Pingxin and Jumang successively took action. One operated the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, while the other governed all life within the Great Wilderness, healing injured creatures and making spiritual roots, grasses, and trees sturdier so their roots would anchor deeply into the earth.

Because of the dimensional ascension of the Great Wilderness, the number of wandering souls in the Underworld was surging exponentially.

In an instant, the newly born Underworld, which already lacked sufficient manpower, became congested.

Seeing this, Pingxin began to screen the wandering souls one by one, sorting out those with neither great merits nor grave sins.

Pingxin looked with pity upon the countless souls of living beings who had sacrificed themselves for the ascension of the Great Wilderness, while continuously operating the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, casting the souls one by one into the cycle of reincarnation for rebirth.

Jumang patrolled the Great Wilderness earth incessantly. Whenever he spotted a place where the earth had fractured, mountains had collapsed, or floods were raging, he would directly manifest the Great Dao of Life, instilling the instinct for growth into countless living beings, grasses, and spiritual vegetation.

Immediately afterward, countless branches stretched forth, vines sprawled, and roots firmly entangled and stabilized the earth.

In an instant, boundless spiritual qi erupted, grasses and trees grew wildly, and vitality and greenery blanketed the entire earth.

Nüwa cast out the Map of Mountains and Rivers, through which the veins of the Great Wilderness's rivers and mountains were gathered and ordered systematically.

Through continuous sorting and repairing of the Great Wilderness, Nüwa's previously shallow comprehension of the Daoist laws steadily increased.

If Nüwa's previous strength as a saint was akin to desiring a vessel forged through the power of the Heavenly Dao, she was now personally and continuously filling the contents to be held within that vessel.

As the Map of Mountains and Rivers organized the Great Wilderness earth, Nüwa gradually lapsed into a state of sudden enlightenment.

This sight filled Jieyin and Zhunti with boundless envy.

The two Western Sages also displayed their methods; one held the Seven-Treasure妙 Tree, while the other wielded the Reception Treasure Banner, with a golden lotus suspended above.

The power of cause and effect coiled around the Two Sages of the West, continuously unraveling and straightening the chaotic and disordered karmic threads caused by the ascension of the Great Wilderness.

At the same time, golden light emanated from their bodies, and whenever the golden light descended upon the earth, it seemed to imbue the land with vitality.

"Junior Brothers Jieyin and Zhunti's 'Dream Enlightenment' certainly has some merit to it!"

Taishang looked at the Two Sages of the West and could not help exclaiming in admiration.

However, upon hearing Taishang praise the two Western Sages, Yuanshi let out a cold snort.

"What merit could they possibly have? It is merely some impractical trickery, taking shortcuts!"

Hearing this, Taishang shook his head slightly, glanced at Yuanshi, and offered no further comment.

Taishang held the Taiji Diagram in one hand and the Xuanhuang Pagoda in the other, continuously sorting out the dual forces of Yin and Yang, which had grown chaotic due to the ascension.

Meanwhile, atop Mount Buzhou, a unique spiritual root was also continuously drawing in and absorbing the chaotic Yin and Yang forces between heaven and earth.

With the intervention of the Six Sages, the Great Wilderness gradually began to calm.

"Teacher, are we just going to stand by and watch like this?"

Kongxuan asked Wuyun.

"How do you know that this poor Daoist has done nothing at all!"

"Comprehend well; for you, this is also a rare opportunity! Such chances will be few and far between in the future!"

Wuyun waved his sleeve, and the Great Dao of the Five Elements seemed to merge directly with the Great Wilderness, sorting out the Five Elements force of the world while closing his eyes in comprehension.

As Wuyun finished speaking, Kongxuan also discovered that he had grown far more attuned to the surrounding Five Elements force and even the Laws of the Five Elements.

One must know that Kongxuan was still merely at the peak of the Taiyi realm, having yet to enter the Daluo realm.

This development allowed him to come into contact with the Daoist laws ahead of time, smoothing the path for his future journey. True to his reputation as the first acquired peacock blessed with Five Elements talent, Kongxuan showed faint signs of stepping across the threshold in his comprehension of the Laws of the Five Elements.

Meanwhile, Kongkong and the others atop Mount Buzhou were also comprehending the subtle nuances of this Great Wilderness dimensional ascension.

Silver brilliance flickered over Kongkong's body as the Great Dao of Space subtly merged with the surrounding space, appearing as though it were absorbing nourishment for its own growth.

In the primeval starry sky, nearly all the star gods had descended into the Great Wilderness, leaving only Chenrui behind in the firmament.

Chenrui's Great Dao of Stars manifested, gradually forging a connection with the countless stars across the starry sky.

The solar authority that had previously resided within him suddenly dissipated, flying directly toward the chaotic Wa Palace.

Following the appearance of Chenrui's Great Dao of Stars, it resonated continuously with the entire starry sky of the Great Wilderness.

Suddenly, Chenrui completely assumed the duties of the countless star gods, operating the Zhoutian Star Dou.

Down in the Great Wilderness, the various star gods suddenly felt their connections with their respective stars gradually weaken, and they all looked in panic toward Emperor Weichen.

"Emperor, this is…"

Yet Weichen looked at them with unruffled composure before speaking calmly.

"Do not panic. It must be the Dao Lord controlling the operation of the stars. Presumably, he is planning something using the grand formation!"
