Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 289 Bai Jing talks about Pangu, Shi Ji and Ma Yuan

After watching the play, Bai Jing invited Nuwa and Houtu to gather on Yingzhou Immortal Island.

The two of them naturally did not refuse.

At the pavilion on Yingzhou Immortal Island, Nuwa looked Bai Jing up and down and then asked, "Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, why has your cultivation improved so quickly? You're already at the mid-stage of the eighth level of the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm. Even with the Time Domain, you shouldn't have broken through so fast, right?"

Bai Jing smiled and said, "The reason I was able to break through so quickly is because of the Four Extremes Venerable. There is a complete Great Thousand World in the Four Extremes Venerable. Although the Three Thousand Great Daos in the Great Thousand World are only at the entry level, they are enough for me to comprehend."

With the help of two fellow Daoists, especially Fellow Daoist Houtu who found for me the marks left by many Chaos Demon Gods after their fall in the cycle of reincarnation, I have now comprehended one-tenth of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

There are no problems with my accumulation of the Great Dao, which means I won't encounter any bottlenecks until I reach the peak of the ninth level of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. As long as I have enough Chaos Qi, I can continue to break through to the peak of the ninth level of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

“I see. My situation is quite the opposite of yours, fellow Daoist! After becoming the Lord of Humanity, I was forcibly broken through to the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm by being infused with a massive amount of human destiny. My comprehension of the Great Dao is not yet complete, and to this day, I still haven’t even grasped nearly ten percent of the three thousand Great Daos,” Nuwa sighed.

"Fellow Daoist, don't be impatient, take your time. After witnessing the Heavenly Dao Hongjun's all-out effort, you two should be quite confident about this Investiture of the Gods calamity, right?" Bai Jing asked with a smile.

Nuwa and Houtu exchanged a smile and nodded simultaneously.

"After the Investiture of the Gods, all we need to do is separate the Heavenly Dao from Fellow Daoist Hongjun, and then reshape the Primordial Heavenly Dao. The Primordial World should then usher in its next upgrade, at which time a half-step Great Dao Realm being can be born in the Primordial World. Our goal will then be achieved."

After listening to Bai Jing's words, Hou Tu suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, do you think the Father God has really perished?"

"What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?"

"Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, over the years you have given me a total of eight axe marks. These eight axe marks are all manifestations of the imprints left by the Father God when He created the world. When I am comprehending these eight axe marks, I always have a mysterious feeling, as if the Father God is personally guiding me."

"My current cultivation level is also at the Heavenly Dao Realm. The only thing that could give me this feeling is either my Father God or the Great Dao itself. That's why I have this thought: Has my Father God truly perished?"

Bai Jing fell silent. To be honest, he didn't know if the Great God Pangu had really perished. If he had, then when they first reopened the primordial world, the phantom of the Great God Pangu seemed to come alive for a moment.

Afterwards, Bai Jing confirmed with Hou Tu that, according to Hou Tu, the Pangu phantom formed by the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation only changed after it incorporated the axe mark that Bai Jing had given her.

These nine axe marks were what Bai Jing obtained on Mount Buzhou, and at that time, the word "Zha" also resounded in Bai Jing's sea of ​​consciousness.

That's why Bai Jing felt that the Great God Pangu might not have perished, or at least his will might still exist.

As for the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Three Pure Ones, these beings were born from the essence and soul of the Great God Pangu. They were all children of the Great God Pangu, or rather, his remains.

Of course, it's also possible that Bai Jing is overthinking things. As his cultivation level increases, Bai Jing becomes more aware of the special characteristics of the prehistoric world.

Creating a new plane, a small world, wouldn't be a difficult task for Da Luo.

Creating a small world requires either a Quasi-Saint or a Primordial Golden Immortal.

To create a vast world requires the intervention of a sage, and even then, the sage must pay a considerable price.

The primordial world above the Great Thousand Worlds is a world that even the Heavenly Dao Realm cannot create on its own. Only a half-step Great Dao Realm like the Great God Pangu, who exerts all his strength and even supports the heavens and earth with his own body, can create the primordial world.

Above the primordial world lies chaos, which can also be called the true realm of chaos.

The Primordial World is an extremely special primordial world. Due to the fall of three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, who became nourishment for the Primordial World, this world has all three thousand Great Daos and has the opportunity to be upgraded to the Chaos True World.

In the present prehistoric world, Jianmu replaced Buzhou Mountain to support the heavens and earth, making the innate spiritual energy of the prehistoric world more refined. As the quality of the innate spiritual energy became higher and higher, coupled with the revival of the underground passages, the foundation of the prehistoric world was strengthened for the first time.

Then came the creation of the four realms: the Demon Realm, the Earth Realm, the Immortal Realm, and the Human Realm. Humanity also revived, making the foundation of the primordial world even stronger.

The Primordial World also took this opportunity to complete its first upgrade. If nothing unexpected happens, it will only need to complete two more upgrades to become the Chaos True World.

In Bai Jing's plan, after the end of the Investiture of the Gods calamity, the structure of the prehistoric world will be reshaped again, with the three paths of Heaven, Earth and Man jointly governing the prehistoric world. At the same time, the remaining two realms will be opened up, making the prehistoric world divided into one main world and six satellite worlds. In this way, the prehistoric world will surely usher in its second upgrade, and at that time, the prehistoric world will have the soil to nurture beings at the half-step Great Dao Realm.

Then they can seek one last upgrade, elevating the primordial world from the original world to the Chaotic True World.

Nuwa and Houtu were naturally aware of all this, which is why they always stood with Bai Jing through thick and thin.

In their view, Bai Jing's path was the right one, and that the Heavenly Dao Hongjun's forced suppression of all living beings was utterly absurd.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, your disciples have already taken the reincarnation of Lingzhuzi under their wing. How do you plan to have them teach the reincarnation of Lingzhuzi?" Nuwa asked, changing the subject.

Before Bai Jing could speak, Hou Tu asked with a puzzled look, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa cares so much about Ling Zhuzi, why don't you take the initiative to bring Ling Zhuzi into your fold yourself?"

"I do not intend to take on any disciples, nor can I. If I do, I will disperse the fortune of humanity. The fortune of humanity is different from that of heaven and earth. Once dispersed, it is difficult to recover, which will be detrimental to our subsequent plans."

"Bai Jing's disciples are quite capable as well. I trust them to take Ling Zhuzi's reincarnation into their ranks. All I can do is bestow upon him a magical treasure destined for him before he is born."

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will personally talk to Yunxiao and the others and tell them how to teach Nezha."

Nuwa nodded, no longer dwelling on the matter.

Meanwhile, in the Taiqing Heaven, in the Tushita Palace.

Taiqing Laozi sighed and said, "The Heavenly Dao Realm is truly mysterious beyond measure! Neither my teacher nor Yangmei Immortal can compare to it."

"Master, did the Great Immortal Yangmei and Grandmaster really fight at the Heavenly Membrane?" Xuandu asked curiously.

Taiqing Laozi nodded.

"Who's winning?"

"Teachers have the vast universe as their backing, so they are inherently invincible."

Xuan Du was not surprised by this result. "Xuan Du."

"The disciple is here."

"The primordial world is now surging with calamity energy, and the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods has arrived. Are you willing to descend the mountain and gamble on this Primordial Purple Qi?"

“Master, you once said that water benefits all things without striving, and your disciple does not wish to strive.”

Upon hearing this, Lao Tzu smiled with satisfaction.

In the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain, the Primordial Celestial Venerable was also savoring the battle between the Heavenly Dao Hongjun and the Great Immortal Yangmei.

Both Yuanshi Tianzun and the Chan Sect acted in accordance with the will of Heaven. The control and use of the power of the Heavenly Dao by Tiandao Hongjun was very inspiring to Yuanshi.

Yuanshi Tianzun even felt that his long-standing bottleneck had loosened and that he would soon be able to break through to the fourth level of the Saint Realm.

Once I break through to the fourth level of the Saint Realm and borrow power from the Heavenly Dao, I will have the cultivation of the fifth level of the Saint Realm. The fifth level of the Saint Realm is a completely new realm, at which time dealing with Tongtian and the Jie Sect will definitely not be a problem.

In the Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea, Tongtian also witnessed the great battle between Tiandao Hongjun and Yangmei Daxian.

Tongtian was once a Heavenly Saint, and later he created the Great Dao of Swords and attained the Great Golden Immortal of Hunyuan. For Tongtian, the battle between Heavenly Saint Hongjun and Yangmei Immortal was of extraordinary significance.

The various techniques used by the two Heavenly Dao Realm cultivators in their battle gave Tongtian a sudden sense of enlightenment.

In particular, Yangmei Daxian's method of governing the three thousand Great Daos based on the Great Dao of Time and Space made Tongtian understand his future direction.

Tongtian unleashed the Great Dao of the Sword, his aura surging as he entered seclusion once more. If all goes well, once this seclusion ends, Tongtian's cultivation will reach the second level of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

Aside from the Three Pure Ones, the Two Sages of the West, Donghuang Taiyi of the Demon Realm, Ru Shou of the Earth Realm, Hongyun of the Earth Immortal Realm, and Shennong of the Human Realm all gained something from watching this battle between the Heavenly Dao Realm experts and chose to go into seclusion.

The fact that the sages went into seclusion does not mean that the primordial world will become peaceful.

During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, all living beings in the primordial world were affected by the tribulation energy, resulting in constant frictions of varying degrees. Each battle between these beings would intensify the tribulation energy.

On this day, on Skull Mountain, Shi Ji was teaching her newly accepted disciple Caiyun when suddenly her "neighbor" Ma Yuan came knocking on the door.

Ma Yuan used to frequently cause trouble for Shi Ji, as both of them wanted to monopolize Skull Mountain.

However, Shi Ji was later appointed as the Mountain God of Skull Mountain in the Earth Immortal Realm. With the authority of the Mountain God, she set up the Earth Vein Array. In addition, after Shi Ji broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm, her control over the Earth Vein Array became more and more proficient. Ma Yuanlai was beaten every time he came, and later he could only hide in a corner of Skull Mountain.

After many years, Ma Yuan attacked again, his momentum fierce and his eyes flashing with the murderous light of revenge.

Ma Yuan was originally a disciple of the Jie Sect, cultivating the Shangqing Miaofa. However, he was expelled from the sect when Jin Ling reorganized the Jie Sect because of his fondness for cannibalism, specifically human hearts.

After returning from Jin'ao Island, Ma Yuan planned to take over Skull Mountain and make it his training ground, but he was defeated by Shi Ji.

Ma Yuan was naturally dissatisfied and challenged Shi Ji again and again, but each time he was severely beaten by Shi Ji.

Later, after Shi Ji broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, she had the power to kill him using the Earth Vein Array, so Ma Yuan never dared to come again.

The reason for Ma Yuan's comeback is that he has made a breakthrough in his cultivation.

Shi Ji wasn't stupid. She guessed that Ma Yuan must have something to rely on to provoke her, but Shi Ji wasn't intimidated at all. She put her hands on her hips, glanced at Ma Yuan, and thought, "I am the mountain god of Skull Mountain, in charge of the mountain's veins. Fighting on home soil, why would I be afraid of him!"

Ma Yuan held a large, black sword, its blade faintly shimmering with blood-red light, clearly no ordinary weapon. He roared, "Shi Ji, you fat bastard, today I will avenge my humiliation!" With that, Ma Yuan raised his sword and slashed at Shi Ji!

"Don't call me Fatty, I'm just voluptuous!" After saying that, Shi Ji clapped her chubby little hands, and the earth vein array of Skull Mountain was instantly activated.

Rumble! The mountain trembled, and the power of the earth veins surged out like a torrent, transforming into dark chains that roared towards Ma Yuankun like dragons emerging from the sea.

These chains are formed from the essence of the earth's veins, making them incredibly tough. The surface of the chains is engraved with runes personally passed down by Zhen Yuanzi from the Earthly Immortal Realm, giving them the power to suppress all things.

Ma Yuan snorted coldly, his broadsword wielding with impenetrable speed, the blade light like a bolt of lightning, severing the chains of earth veins, scattering fragments that dissipated into spiritual light. His figure moved like lightning, closing in step by step, his blade becoming increasingly ferocious, faintly possessing the power to tear apart mountains.

As soon as the two sides clashed, a look of realization flashed in Shi Ji's eyes. She thought to herself, "No wonder this guy dared to provoke me. It turns out that his cultivation has broken through to the late stage of Golden Immortal, which is a small realm higher than my mid-stage Golden Immortal."

However, Shi Ji felt that Ma Yuan deserved a beating. This Skull Mountain was her home turf, with inexhaustible earth vein power. How could a difference of a small realm shake it? Let alone the late stage of Golden Immortal, even if Ma Yuan broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, he still couldn't beat her in this Skull Mountain!
Thinking of this, Shi Ji had a thought, and her chubby little hands once again formed a hand seal, urging the earth vein array to its limit.

In an instant, the spiritual energy within a hundred miles of Skull Mountain surged violently, and the power of the earth veins surged like a tsunami, converging at the mountain peak and transforming into a giant hand that blotted out the sky.

This giant hand was pitch black, as if it were formed from the essence of countless earth veins. The lines on its palm resembled mountains and rivers, radiating a terrifying pressure. Even before the giant hand moved, the void trembled, rocks crumbled, and the wind and clouds changed color.

"Ma Yuan, today I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!" With that, Shi Ji waved her fat hand, and a giant hand formed from the power of the earth veins slammed down with lightning speed and a force as heavy as a mountain.

Ma Yuan's expression changed drastically. He wildly swung his broadsword, the blade flashing like a raging dragon, attempting to block this terrifying attack. However, the giant hand ignored the blade's light and crushed down directly, shattering the blade into pieces as if it were made of paper.

"Impossible!" Ma Yuan roared, desperately channeling his immortal power. His body shone with golden light as he tried to withstand the attack head-on. However, the giant hand of the earth vein was formed from the power of Skull Mountain over a thousand years, far beyond what he could match on his own.

The giant hand crashed down with a deafening roar, the earth cracked, and dust billowed into the sky. Ma Yuan, along with his sword, was slammed into the ground and embedded in a rock, unable to move.

As the smoke cleared, the giant hand slowly dissipated, revealing Ma Yuan's disheveled figure. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his aura was weak, and the greatsword in his hand had dimmed, indicating that he had suffered serious injuries.

Shi Ji stepped forward and slapped him twice across the face!
"Hmph! You really think I'm easy to bully? So what if your cultivation is a little higher? What's there to be so arrogant about? This time, I'll punish you by making you face the wall for 100 days to reflect on your mistakes. You better remember this!" As soon as Shi Ji finished speaking, her meridian power surged, turning into chains that dragged Ma Yuan into the depths of Skull Mountain.

The three immortals and Nezha in the sky witnessed this battle and both smiled.
