The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 178 The True Self Achieves Sainthood
Pangu perished while creating the primordial world. Similarly, Shi Mo's self-incarnation as the Daoist of Defining Boundaries, who had painstakingly cultivated and accumulated magical power over countless years, was also exhausted in the process of creating a stable world within the Defining Boundaries Pearl. In the end, even his physical body and primordial spirit dissolved and merged with the entire world.

However, compared to the creation of the Primordial World, the creation of this world within the Boundary-Stabilizing Bead was much easier. After all, the Boundary-Stabilizing Bead had accumulated enough energy with the help of the Earth Vein Array, making the creation of this world a natural process.

Furthermore, with the Star Array and Earth Vein Array forming the boundary-fixing array with the boundary-fixing bead as their core, the evolution and birth of the world within the boundary-fixing bead are basically within a controllable range.

"Huh, what's that?" Shi Mo suddenly noticed a cluster of mysterious yellow energy condensing in mid-air in the distance. Then, as if suddenly enlightened, his eyes lit up, and he became excited and delighted:
"The Primordial Qi? It's actually the Primordial Qi! Energy that only appears when a world is created and born—this is a treasure! If an ordinary innate spiritual treasure were to incorporate even a little of it, it would become indestructible. The reason why Lao Tzu's Primordial Qi Exquisite Pagoda is hailed as the number one defensive treasure in the primordial world is because it was formed from the Primordial Qi and infused with the merits of the creation of the world!"

As the creator of this world, Shi Mo naturally learned about some of the wonderful uses of Xuanhuang Qi.

For example, the Xuanhuang Qi can stabilize the earth, wind, water, and fire. By absorbing and refining enough Xuanhuang Qi, one can cultivate the Xuanhuang Undying Body, which is comparable to the power of a primordial treasure. That is a physical body that is even stronger and more perfect than physical sainthood.

At this moment, the energy of the entire world seemed to be changing, and then three purple lights in the void twisted and condensed, turning into three streams of purple energy that exuded a mysterious aura.

"What? Primordial Purple Qi? The primordial energy that was born when a world was created. It has the most mysterious and special primordial power. It can not only help with enlightenment, but also mobilize a part of the power of a world." Shi Mo was even more surprised.

"I just don't know if my three strands of Primordial Purple Qi are the same as the Primordial Purple Qi nurtured in the Primordial World? Can they be used interchangeably? If so, wouldn't that mean I can bring three more Saints to the Primordial World?"

Thinking of this, Shi Mo felt a surge of warmth in his heart: "I just wonder if the current prehistoric world can have three more saints. Will having too many saints cause any other problems?"

"Never mind, let's cultivate the Xuanhuang Undying Body first," Shi Mo thought, and the Xuanhuang Qi in the distance came to his front and then surged into his body.

Buzz. Soon, Shi Mo, having absorbed about 60% of the Xuanhuang Qi, underwent a physical transformation. The Xuanhuang luster flowed on his skin, and the invisible, surging aura was even stronger than the majesty of a saint, directly causing the surrounding void to tremble.

But immediately after taking a deep breath, Shi Mo's skin, which had been concealing its aura, returned to normal. However, he merely reached out and made a grasping motion, and the space in front of him twisted and tore apart.

"Truly a physical body comparable to a supreme innate treasure." Shi Mo exclaimed inwardly, and then, with a thought, the evil corpse transformed into the Red Lotus Daoist and flew out from his body.

Immediately afterwards, with a thought, Shi Mo drew in the pure and surging energy of this world into his body, and his aura and magical power easily broke through to the Saint level.

"With a strong enough physical body, becoming a saint is indeed a very simple matter," Shi Mo smiled slightly, feeling the surging, powerful, and easily controllable saintly magic power within his body, and couldn't help but feel great.

At the same time, the surging and pure energy in the distance converged, turning into a vortex, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into the Three Corpse Incarnations of the Realm-Stabilizing Daoist, whose aura was completely comparable to that of a saint.

Now, Shi Mo's three self-corpse incarnations can be said to have merged with the World-Stabilizing Pearl, which is equivalent to the world will of one of the worlds, and can easily condense into an energy incarnation within this world.

With the power of the world within the Boundary-Stabilizing Pearl, Shi Mo's self-incarnation, the Boundary-Stabilizing Daoist, is now virtually invincible. Even a saint entering this world would only be suppressed.

The Daoist of Fixed Realm, who reached out to grab the Red Lotus Daoist, who was the incarnation of the evil corpse, pulled out the Primordial Purple Qi from within the Red Lotus Daoist's body.

However, the saintly power of the evil corpse transformed into the Red Lotus Taoist did not become disordered or out of control.

As Shi Mo's true form absorbed and refined the Xuanhuang Qi and underwent transformation, the evil corpse incarnation, the Red Lotus Daoist, within his body was also baptized and affected. While his physical body became stronger, even without reaching the level of physical sainthood, his control over the saintly power within his body also improved.

At the same time, the Daoist Dingjie, who was not far away, also introduced a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi into his body and found that it was no different from the Primordial Purple Qi of the Primordial World.

The only difference is that they are formed from the primordial forces of different worlds, like keys to different rooms.

"It's time to go out." Shi Mo murmured, then left the world inside the World-Stabilizing Pearl and appeared outside the World-Stabilizing Pearl, which was as big as a planet and exuded surging power, stepping on the fifteenth-grade Refining World Lotus Platform.

At the same time, the Boundary-Stabilizing Pearl, with its power contained, rapidly shrank and disappeared into Shi Mo's body.

Immediately afterwards, the Star Array and the Earth Vein Array also seemed to separate, their power receding and dissipating, and the entire primordial world returned to peace.

"Hmm?" The saints did not notice Shi Mo's change, but Hongjun seemed to have sensed something, and his gaze towards Shi Mo was filled with emotion and a hint of envy.

The moment Shi Mo appeared, auspicious light and auspicious energy surged throughout the world, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to boil. The commotion of his ascension to sainthood startled all living beings in the primordial world, including Yuan Shi and the others. "Junior Brother Shi Mo, I have only just become a saint. You are really quite composed," Tong Tian, ​​who was the first to react, said with a complex and self-deprecating expression.

However, immediately after the commotion of becoming a saint ended, the spiritual energy that had been so abundant in the world began to decline rapidly at a perceptible pace.
"Huh? This sudden change caused the saints and many powerful cultivators to change their expressions and show surprise."

Shi Mo, whose expression also changed slightly, quickly understood. This was because the Primordial World had been damaged by the battle between the saints, so it deliberately thinned out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in order to reduce the number of cultivators and immortals born in the Primordial World and decrease the energy consumption of the Primordial World.

Although the combined efforts of all the saints to break the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation had some influence from Shi Mo, the damage to the prehistoric world was limited. Nevertheless, it still shattered the vast prehistoric continent into four pieces, forming the four continents that later existed during the Investiture of the Gods era.

However, the overall impact is not significant, as the four continents are relatively close to each other, much like they are separated by straits.

"Alright. That's enough. All you saints, do not quarrel any further. Go back to your respective homes!" Hongjun calmly gave this instruction, then turned and disappeared.

The saints were taken aback, but could only respectfully respond, thus ending this earth-shattering and thrilling conflict.

However, before leaving, Tongtian asked Shi Mo telepathically, "Did you take my Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram?"

Shi Mo was taken aback, and just as he was about to respond to Tongtian, Tongtian left directly: "I don't need the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram. Anyway, the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords are gone, so having the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram is of little use. In the future, I'll trouble you, Junior Brother, to look after my disciples."

"He wants me to look after his disciples? What is he supposed to do then? What does this mean? He shouldn't be that badly injured, should he be dying? Could it be..." Shi Mo frowned, his heart filled with suspicion.

But Shi Mo didn't think much of it. After meeting with his disciples and giving some instructions to Jiang Ziya, he returned to Jiuding Iron Fork Mountain.

Next, Jiang Ziya led the Western Zhou army to break through Jiepai Pass, Chuanyun Pass, Lintong Pass, and Tong Pass in succession, with unstoppable momentum.
Since Tongtian did not set up any more Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the Zhou army quickly reached Mianchi County, which was only separated from Chaoge by the Yellow River. The Shang Dynasty was about to be destroyed.

In the Netherworld, behind Yin Mountain, in the Houtu Palace, the Red Lotus Daoist, who had just returned to the Netherworld Blood Sea, came here at the invitation of the Goddess Houtu.

"During the turmoil of the prehistoric world, I sensed a powerful demonic aura deep within the chaotic space behind Yin Mountain," said Houtu Niangniang in a serious tone, getting straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Honglian frowned and asked, "Since the fall of Demon Ancestor Rahu, is there truly any remaining power hidden within the demonic path?"

"Unfortunately, before I could investigate further, that aura vanished," Houtu Niangniang said, shaking her head. Honglian Daoist was speechless.

“Since they are hiding their true intentions, they are nothing to fear,” said the Red Lotus Taoist indifferently.

Even if the Demon Ancestor Rahu were to be reborn, it would be nothing to the Sages. Unless the Sages leave the Primordial World, perhaps the hidden remnants of the demonic path would dare to show themselves!
As Jiang Ziya's campaign against King Zhou was nearing its end, news suddenly spread throughout the prehistoric world: the vice leader of the Chan Sect, Randeng, along with Julusun, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang Zhenren, had defected to the Western Sect.

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian of the Jie Sect also led many disciples of Biyou Palace to join the Western Sect.
They all found it difficult to improve their cultivation in Taoism quickly, so under the influence of the Western Taoist Zhunti, they secretly learned the Western Dharma Body method. After tasting its benefits, and seeing the decline of the Eastern Xuanmen and the rise of the Western religion in the West, they simply switched sides to the Western religion.

While many powerful cultivators in the prehistoric world were somewhat surprised by this, the saints remained relatively calm.

After all, everyone has their own ambitions. If sages were to retaliate against their disciples for joining other schools, it would be unbecoming of them as sages.

Although the departure of several disciples was infuriating to them, it had a limited impact on them.

For the sages, cultivation was ultimately the foundation upon which they stood in the primordial world.

However, what is unexpected is that there are saints who refuse to suffer losses, disregard their status, and will do anything if they are unhappy.

In the Western Paradise, the Sage Who Guides the West is preaching to the followers of the Western Religion. His words are so eloquent that golden lotuses spring from the ground, captivating the Western disciples and those who have recently joined the Western Religion, including Dipankara Buddha.
"Hmm?" The Sage of Guidance, who had suddenly paused due to a sudden sense of something, saw the Tongtian Sect Leader tearing through space with his sword and charging in: "Tongtian, what are you doing?"

"Come and discuss the Dao with fellow Daoist! Let's see if I am more shrewd or you are more shrewd, that you have managed to attract my disciples to your Western Sect." Tongtian Sect Leader said with a smile, but his eyes were sharp and his whole person was like a sword drawn from its sheath.
