Primordial Era: Starting by bumping into Nuwa!

Chapter 16: The Primordial Breath of Earth!

Bai Chen was determined to obtain the Innate Breath Soil.

As a close friend of Nuwa, Bai Chen, the Great God, planned to take the Primordial Breath Soil into his possession in advance and keep it safe for Nuwa in order to avoid any accidents.

Nuwa: Lazy cat, you unfilial son, you're trying to steal my opportunity!

"Bai Chen, what do you mean?"

The innate gourd vine's tone turned cold. He did not deny the matter of the innate breathing soil, because he knew that since the other party dared to say it, there was no use in denying it.

"Hand over the Primordial Gourd Vine and the Primordial Breath Soil, and we can call it even."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for doing something that will upset you."

Bai Chen laid his cards on the table, threatening the innate gourd vine.

It wants the position of the Primordial Measuring Ruler, and it also wants the Primordial Breath Soil of the Primordial Gourd Vine!

"Bai Chen, don't forget the oath you just swore to the Great Dao."

Bai Chen's confrontation enraged the Innate Gourd Vine, which warned him with a vow of the Great Dao.

Even the innate gourd vine hadn't expected Bai Chen to be so greedy.

No, this is no longer just greed, it's insatiable greed.

"That's right, this great god has indeed made a great oath that the Twelve Ancestral Witches will not lay a hand on you."

Bai Chen spread his hands to indicate his innocence, then grinned mischievously:

"But this great god can tell others where you are, such as Ancestor Luo Hou, Ancestor Hongjun, Ancestor Xingchen, Ancestor Yangmei... and so on."

"The Primordial Gourd Vine—others may not know its true nature, but as a Chaos God and Demon, you should know it, right?"

Bai Chen is an honest and trustworthy cat, so naturally she would not lie or do anything that violates her oath.

But if you didn't make a promise, you can't blame yourself.

That's right, Bai Chen was playing a word game with the innate gourd vine, using characters from different languages.

What's wrong with my own open and aboveboard vow to the Great Dao? As long as I haven't broken my vow, that's all that matters!

At this moment, the innate gourd vine truly witnessed Bai Chen's shamelessness.

He had cultivated for countless eons in the chaos and countless eons in the primordial world, and had never seen such a shameless person.

"Bai Chen, stop trying to scare me. Luo Hou and the others are of noble status, and they are not people that a mere innate divine beast like you could possibly know."

However, the innate gourd vine expressed doubt about Bai Chen's words.

He couldn't believe that someone as weak as Bai Chen would know figures like Ancestor Luo Hou and Ancestor Yang Mei.

To put it bluntly, even at his peak, he had to bow and scrape before figures like Yang Mei, Hongjun, and Luo Hou.

Bai Chen was merely a minor innate divine beast.

"Innate gourd vine, did you notice the strange activity in the western part of the primordial world before?"

That was the commotion that Patriarch Rahu created on Mount Sumeru in order to attain enlightenment.

"And the Daoist temple of Hongjun Laozu is located on Yujing Mountain."

Bai Chen directly revealed the locations of the Daoist temples of Ancestor Luo Hou and Ancestor Hong Jun.

It didn't actually recognize Rahu or Hongjun, but it knew where their Daoist temples were located.

Bai Chen's words startled the innate gourd vine.

He had also sensed some of the great commotion that had occurred in the western part of the prehistoric world while he was in the secret realm.

He had already guessed that it was that chaotic god-demon who wasn't quite dead that caused the commotion.

Bai Chen's words now confirm his suspicions about the situation in the western part of the prehistoric world.

"If they knew your location, they would probably use you to pave their path to enlightenment, or use you to refine spiritual treasures.

Seeing that the innate gourd vine seemed afraid, Bai Chen quickly pressed his advantage.

Bai Chen wasn't trying to scare the innate gourd vine; innate spiritual roots can indeed be refined into magical treasures.

The later Zhunti and Jieyin were originally born with innate spiritual roots and transformed into human form. When they attained enlightenment, they severed their original bodies and used them as spiritual treasures.

"Bai Chen, are you really determined to fight me to the death?"

Bai Chen's threat completely enraged the innate gourd vine.

"Innate gourd vine, you make it sound like you'll let this great god off the hook. If you succeed in attaining enlightenment, you'll definitely come looking for trouble."

(●❍(工)❍●)╭∩╮

Faced with the threat of the innate gourd vine, Bai Chen exposed the opponent while raising his little claws in disdain.

"Bai Chen, if you leave now, I will swear an oath to settle our grudges and never attack you without cause in the future."

The Primordial Breath Soil was extremely important to the Primordial Gourd Vine, as it was something he brought from the chaos into the primordial world.

Over these eons, he relied on absorbing the power of Buzhou Mountain and the nourishment of the innate soil to recover so much strength.

If the Primordial Breath Soil were to be handed over, the Primordial Gourd Vine estimated that its chances of successfully attaining enlightenment would decrease by at least 20%.

Therefore, the innate gourd vine was unwilling to hand over the innate soil. In order to protect the innate soil, it was willing to make a vow not to seek revenge on Bai Chen in the future and to let him go.

(●▷(工)◁●)╭∩╮

Bai Chen revealed his fierce, triangular eyes, and once again raised the friendly gesture to greet the innate gourd vine:

"This great god doesn't need it, just quickly give me the Primordial Breath Soil."

"Innate Gourd Vine, if you succeed in attaining enlightenment and wish to settle scores with this great god, feel free to come! This great god is not afraid of you!"

Bai Chen wasn't afraid of the innate gourd vine retaliating against him in the future, because the other party had no chance of successfully attaining enlightenment.

Given the opponent's pathetic state, even with the innate life-giving soil, he failed to attain enlightenment, leaving behind only a complete corpse.

Without the innate Breath Soil, it's uncertain whether one could leave behind a complete corpse after failing to attain enlightenment.

If the other party can successfully prove his Dao, he can take my life, Bai Chen, if he dares.

"Okay, okay!"

Upon hearing this, the innate gourd vine was furious and exclaimed "Good!" three times.

"Bai Chen, I can give you the Primordial Breath Soil, but I require you to swear an oath that you will not reveal my whereabouts to others."

Although the innate gourd vine was furious at the moment, it had not completely lost its mind and was aware of the advantages and disadvantages.

Faced with the choice between his life and the opportunity to attain enlightenment, he chose to give up the innate spiritual soil.

Although the probability of successfully attaining enlightenment is lower without the innate spiritual soil,

However, the innate gourd vine believed that with its own foundation, proving the Dao should not be a big problem; at most, it would just mean suffering more.

The innate gourd vine vowed that once it successfully attained enlightenment, it would make Bai Chen suffer a fate worse than death and exterminate the descendants of Pangu.

"good!"

Bai Chen agreed, and then led the ancestral witches in making a Great Dao oath, while the innate gourd vine handed over the innate breathing soil.

Bai Chen was overjoyed as he watched the soil in his hand release nine-colored divine light and innate Daoist charm.

That's right, this is the Primordial Breath Soil, the main material used by Nuwa to create humans from clay.

He would keep it for Nuwa first, and then lend it to her when Nuwa created humans from clay.

Just as Bai Chen was leaving the secret realm to find the Primordial Measuring Ruler, Xuan Ming grabbed its tail and poked its back, signaling it to fulfill its promise.

Bai Chen summoned the Primordial Breath Soil, separating half of it and handing it to Houtu:

"Houtu, this great goddess is the most trustworthy, this is yours."

The Primordial Breath Soil is a top-grade primordial spiritual treasure, but it is different from ordinary top-grade primordial spiritual treasures.

As long as the innate source of the Primordial Breath Soil remains, it is inexhaustible.

The portion that Bai Chen kept for himself possessed innate essence, and even if half of it was given to Hou Tu, it could still be nurtured and restored.

The portion that Bai Chen gave to Hou Tu lacked innate essence; once used up, it was gone and could not be restored.
