This primordial world is extraordinary.

Chapter 57: The Old Taoist Priest is Too Kind

"Fellow Daoists, you've finally returned."

"We didn't do anything, we were just digging and digging, and we accidentally dug up a grave."

Kunpeng was dumbfounded.

"You call that an accident?"

Kunpeng's trembling finger pointed to the distant cemetery city.

"It wasn't like this at first, really. It was just a small grave. I never expected it to transform. Before I knew it, it had turned into this." The Yin-Yang Taoist said timidly.

"What exactly happened?" Kunpeng clearly saw that Yin Yang Daoist was the one who caused the trouble, so he didn't let him speak, but instead pointed at Cang Qiong Daoist and said, "Fellow Daoist Cang Qiong, you tell me."

"Me?" Cang Qiong never liked being a storyteller; he preferred to be a listener.

But since Kunpeng had named him specifically, he had no choice but to explain gently: "It's like this..."

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, Fellow Daoist Yinyang is right. It really was just a small grave at the beginning, but after being pushed open nine steps, it turned into a city."

Kunwu interjected, "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, we've been observing for almost three hours and found that the creatures in this city can't leave, especially not get close to us. Once they do, they're pushed away by an invisible force."

"Yes, yes, just as Fellow Daoist Kunpeng said, the passage exit seems to be locked within nine steps, so we are actually safe," Yin Yang hurriedly explained to himself.

"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, this is the situation. Within nine steps, apart from the strange phenomenon you triggered at the beginning, it seems that other evil spirits and strange phenomena cannot get close," Cang Qiong concluded.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, I mentioned the strange incident at the beginning where Kunpeng attracted the corpse spots and armless creature.

This matter is actually a mystery.

For some reason, there was no danger within nine steps of the exit of the passage.

Even in this fragmented spacetime of the apocalyptic world, everything remains stable within nine steps.

Beyond nine steps, it doesn't count; each step represents a different time and space.

This was discovered by Kunpeng and his team after their exploration.

The incident Cang Qiong mentioned involved Kunpeng's strange appearance on the first day, where he waved his arm and caused the armless corpse to appear.

Since then, it seems that no creature from the post-apocalyptic world has been able to get within nine steps of the passage exit.

Kunpeng had his doubts, but he believed it was due to the instability of the first day.

After all, at that time the passage had just connected the two worlds and was still in an unstable, newly opened stage, so strange things could happen.

Once it stabilized, the area within nine steps was like a new world, and all the post-apocalyptic creatures could hardly get close.

Even within nine steps, spacetime is orderly and stable; beyond nine steps, each step is a separate spacetime.

"So, you dug it out here, but were pushed nine steps away by an unseen force, and then it became this tomb city?"

Kunpeng has figured it out.

Overall, there are no safety issues.

The interdimensional passage not only provides a passage but also nine safe steps; the unknown master has thought of everything very thoroughly.

"Yes!" Yin Yang quickly nodded.

This indicates that although he has caused trouble, it is not serious.

Especially when she saw that Kunpeng still had four holes in his body, she knew how hard it was for the captain to be a father and mother. If she caused him any more trouble, she would feel bad even if the captain didn't say anything.

"It's alright!" Kunpeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Stay calm at all times, especially after you understand the situation. If there's no safety issue, then there's even less of a problem.

It might even be a good thing.

Such a large city must have plenty of opportunities to exploit.

"Ahem, actually, everything was fine..." Yin Yang Daoist breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Kunpeng didn't blame him, and the suppressed Yin Yang Dao suddenly returned.

He continued, "Fellow Daoist Cangqiong said that since I was idle, I might as well dig some soil. Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, you know me, I'm a helpful and understanding person, so I agreed, thinking that it would be a contribution to the prehistoric world, and that's when I started digging... I never expected to dig up this thing."

"Alas! The old Taoist priest is too kind."

Daoist Cangqiong: ...

Suddenly I was stunned, and I had a feeling that someone was being sarcastic or mocking towards me.

But it seems that's indeed the case.

It was indeed my own suggestion.

Could it be that Fellow Daoist Yin Yang was really implicated by me?

"These things are unimportant now. This is not a mistake but a merit. After all, such a large city provides an opportunity to seek opportunities. How can this be a mistake?" Kunpeng, cunning and shrewd, planted a trap.

"This?" The Yin-Yang Daoist's expression changed drastically. "If that's how you put it, then I admit it was my fault. How could a man as taciturn as Fellow Daoist Cangqiong sway my heart? It was my impulsiveness!"

Sure enough, the hook was caught by the Taoist priest.

Daoist Cangqiong: ...

I'm even more confused now. Was it my fault or not?

Is it me? Or not me? Who am I? What am I doing?

"Ha ha!"

Kunpeng patted the Yin-Yang Taoist on the shoulder meaningfully, and then said nothing more.

It's nice to tease these fellow Daoists from time to time.

It really helps relieve the fatigue of the day, so I gave the Yin Yang Taoist a good slap on the head.

"We'll talk about it when we get back." Kunpeng waved his hand.

His gaze lingered intently on the cemetery not far away.

Danger, but also opportunity.

I was filled with anticipation, wondering what this cemetery city would bring me.

The resource problem that I was worried about yesterday was solved in just one day.

There's a duel between paper figures and bloodshot eyes, waiting to reap the benefits.

With such a large city now, it seems the problem of finding resources has been solved all at once.

I hope everything goes well.

Cangqiong and Kunwu stood guard, while Yin Yang Daoist followed them back to the entrance.

The group of five stepped into the passage and returned to the primordial world.

"call!"

It took only three days to form a habit: everyone liked to take a deep breath after returning to the primordial world, exhaling tension and turmoil, and inhaling beauty and hope.

The wilderness was not large, but it was a beautiful and hopeful place in their hearts.

Just ...

"Fellow Daoist, it seems that the Heavenly Dao is returning to its original state at an accelerated pace; the sky is even more blood red."

Looking up at the sky, which was dyed red, Daoist Xiyi said.

"That's right."

Kunpeng nodded.

Xiao Yi's strange refining process of returning to its origin, along with rotten wood, tattered clothes, and the soil brought back from the sky.

These all come from the post-apocalyptic world on the other side.

All the products of the post-apocalyptic world are imbued with an aura of distortion, disorder, chaos, calamity, and impending doom.

During the process of being refined to return to one's origin, it is inevitable that one's aura will be exposed.

Only after the core has been completely refined will these overflowing auras be completely refined.

Just like burning some smelly items, it will inevitably fill the surrounding area with the odor, and it will only completely disappear after it has burned out.

At this moment, Xiao Yi is in the burning stage.

"And this will continue for a long time to come," Kunpeng added.

This is to give everyone a heads-up.

If this environment continues for a long time, it may have a significant impact when Xiao Yi has enough essence to continue nurturing new life.

It conforms to the original appearance of the "True Primordial World" at the beginning of creation.

Because the resentment and obsession of the Chaos God lingered, it suppressed everything in the entire prehistoric world.
