Investiture of the Gods: I am Bigan, the Master of Conspiracy

Choosing to become Daoist partners with Jiufeng at this time also involves deeper considerations. The situation in the Three Realms will inevitably undergo tremendous changes as the innate source flows in.

The change in the hearts of all beings in the Three Realms is secondary; the most important thing is that the fundamental nature of the Three Realms stabilized, leading to a compromise between Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, ultimately resulting in the descent of a sage to the mortal realm.

Even the descent of the primordial essence by the Heavenly Dao this time may not be a product of Hongjun's compromise with the Heavenly Dao. Yin Ziyu has no idea what exactly happened.

But the crisis has already begun, and it concerns Yin Ziyu's path to enlightenment.

Since Heaven has taken action, it must have made a grand decision, even establishing a new trend in the Three Realms; there is no doubt about that.

Yin Ziyu ended the entire trend from the Lich King onwards. The Heavenly Dao pushed it back to its origin, automatically clearing away the cause and effect, similar to resetting to the Primordial Era. As for what kind of pattern it will evolve into, Yin Ziyu is only making a basic guess at the moment.

However, this dramatic change in the Heavenly Dao has also completely altered the views of everyone in the Three Realms, making the distinction between friend and foe increasingly blurred.

Although Yin Ziyu's faction won and returned to the ancient times, it also led to the loss of the old meaning and the birth of a new meaning when the goal was achieved.

All saints and all powers will be prompted to reflect more deeply, leading to a reconstruction of people's hearts.

However, for Yin Ziyu, the greatest victor in the Journey to the West calamity, this was a destructive force, as people's hearts were restless and unable to unite the human way.

There was no hope left in the Three Realms, and only Yin Ziyu was the fundamental hope for saving the world. Therefore, all beings in the Three Realms placed all their hopes on Yin Ziyu.

But now that the innate source has fallen, it has given all living beings infinite hope for the future, and the will entrusted to Yin Ziyu will also fade away.

The principle is simple: when a country's economy is growing, all causal contradictions will disappear; when the economy is declining, all contradictions will emerge and disputes will arise.

A family with a complete career and income streams will inevitably be harmonious; when a family loses its income, conflict is bound to erupt.

When Heaven gathers all living beings with its essence, the resentment of the living beings decreases, which means that opportunities greatly increase. The living beings in this primordial world will also see hope for advancement, which will inevitably lead to a divergence in people's hearts.

Since the Heavenly Dao has so grandly revealed its origin, it must produce an effect and inevitably trigger a great trend. This has nothing to do with whether the minds of sentient beings have a broad perspective. Yin Ziyu naturally understands that the path to enlightenment is by no means smooth and he will not take the Heavenly Dao too lightly.

Although this is a blessing for all living beings, it hinders Yin Ziyu's path to enlightenment. At this moment, the Heavenly Dao forcibly separates all living beings and Yin Ziyu into opposing sides.

Yin Ziyu saw this clearly and understood it, so he naturally had to be cautious. The Heavenly Way was also a legitimate, overt scheme, which fundamentally severed the path to enlightenment.

This time, I have formed a Daoist partnership with Jiufeng in order to deal with the real crisis in the future, which is the descent of a saint.

At this moment, the innate essence was like a celestial river hanging upside down, pouring down and instantly sweeping across every corner of the prehistoric world.

This immense and vast primordial power shook all the long-dormant forces, causing the sealed mountain gates to open and the great gods of all sides to reveal themselves.

Inside Biyou Palace, the Golden Spirit Mother was sitting cross-legged in meditation. Sensing the descent of the innate source, she suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with excitement.

Our Lady of Gold rose and walked outside the temple, gazing at the colorful torrent of spiritual energy in the sky. Our Lady of Wudang and Our Lady of Guiling also appeared beside her.

The Golden Spirit Mother's voice trembled: "The Primordial Origin, this is the legendary Primordial Origin from the ancient times, far surpassing the Primordial Spiritual Energy of the ancient era. I have never felt such a rich Primordial Origin! Although we were born at the end of the ancient era and did not personally experience the most glorious time, we have heard of the grandeur of that time. Primordial deities were everywhere, cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and the Great Dao seemed within reach."

The Holy Mother of Wudang gently stroked her whisk, her eyes sparkling with longing: "Senior Sister, since the ancient times, our path of cultivation has become increasingly difficult. Now that the origin has reappeared, it is a time when the great prosperity of our Jie Sect is within reach, and the Great Dao is within our sight!"

Yunxiao also said, "We once talked with Ziyu, wishing that the primordial world would return to the ancient times. We never expected that such a scene would appear now. Could it be that the glory of the ancient times is reappearing?"

As the innate source swept through the world, the Golden Spirit Mother frowned and sighed, "The descent of the innate source is a good thing, but Ziyu's path to enlightenment has been cut off. It will be difficult for the hearts of all beings to reunite. Our Jie Sect is for the equality of all beings, and this is an opportunity for all beings, but we cannot oppose it, and we are powerless to do so."

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao was immediately filled with worry: "What should we do? Should we go see our master and ask him?"

Golden Spirit Mother nodded: "The only thing to do now is to go and ask Master. After all, the karma of the Lich King is no longer there, the Jie Sect is about to rise again, and Ziyu's path is blocked. How to deal with this is something we need to consider!"

"."

At the Demon Court of Ten Thousand Races on Mount Zhaoyao, Bai Suzhen felt the descent of the innate source into the world, her face full of joy.

Bai Suzhen gazed in the direction of the primordial torrent and murmured, "The sage once said that in ancient times, the innate spiritual energy was abundant. The ancestors of the demon race roamed the prehistoric world because of the abundance of innate spiritual energy, and their cultivation was without any obstacles. After countless eons, the demon race has experienced many ups and downs. Now, the primordial energy has descended even more than in ancient times, which is the perfect opportunity for the demon race to rise again!"

The Bull Demon King and the others were also very excited: "Your Majesty, the world has changed and a great trend has arrived. With this help, plus the increase in the number of demons, Your Majesty's path to the Great Dao is promising, and the demon race can regain its former glory!"

Bai Suzhen nodded: "I should go to Nuwa's Heaven to pay homage to the Sage and inquire about a plan!"

At this moment, the gates of the Jade Void Palace of the Chan Sect, which had been closed for many years, slowly opened. Guang Chengzi appeared with the immortals of the Chan Sect, their expressions complex as they looked at the primordial source surging in the sky.

Guang Chengzi sighed, “Since the Great Tribulation of the Journey to the West, the Chan Sect has been in seclusion for many years. I never thought that we would be able to see the Primordial Origin again today. Perhaps the ancient scene can really reappear.”

Chi Jingzi interjected, "Senior Brother Master, now is the time to open the mountain gate. With the descent of the Origin, it is a time of great change in the primordial world, and Ziyu's Dao will inevitably decline, and innate beings will appear!"

Guang Chengzi nodded: "By my decree, all the immortals of the Chan Sect shall leave the mountain and seek out innate disciples to join our ranks!"

"good"

The emergence of the primordial origin will inevitably give birth to new primordial beings, and the opportunity for the Chan Sect has arrived. The Chan Sect's Dao is also suitable for various eras.

There are opportunities in the Dharma-ending Age, the Primordial Age, and the Ancient Age. After all, expounding the Way of Heaven represents the orthodoxy of the Way of Heaven, and the orthodoxy of the Way of Heaven will naturally provide fertile ground for the Chan Sect to adapt.

On Mount Sumeru in the west, the ancient Buddha Tathagata is present, with Sumeru Buddha sitting cross-legged on a twelve-petaled golden lotus. Guanyin Buddha is also watching this primordial being descend to earth.

Feeling the nourishment of the innate source, a smile appeared in her eyes. Guanyin Buddha put her palms together and said, "Amitabha, Buddha, the innate source has reappeared. Since the Journey to the West, the path of our Mahayana Buddhism has collapsed. Moreover, Mount Sumeru is no longer as barren as it was in ancient times. The innate source has descended to earth, so we need to change the path of the West and make the West flourish!"

Maitreya Buddha nodded slightly: "The primordial world has endured many hardships, and now life is finally on the horizon. This is the cycle of Heaven, and a blessing for all beings. We should seize this opportunity to spread the Dharma, help all beings escape the sea of ​​suffering, and together attain the Great Dao. The Western Land is the foundation. By setting up the Bodhi Array, the origin will fall and become the Bodhi Buddha Realm. Then, the West will surely revere Mount Sumeru, and the West will flourish greatly!"

"Amitabha Buddha, I will humbly obey the Buddha's teachings."

The original Mahayana Buddhism was created by the Buddha Tathagata. The Buddha and the demon are like yin and yang, the root of faith. After the failure of the Journey to the West, the Buddha Tathagata abdicated, and Maitreya Buddha has not yet established a new path.

Now that the primordial source has descended into the world, Maitreya Buddha will naturally not go against the trend. At this time, in the west, Mount Sumeru is the only sacred mountain and spiritual vein, while the rest are still barren. By setting up the Bodhi Array with Mount Sumeru as the foundation, the primordial source will be drawn to gather here. With the enlightenment ability of the Bodhi Array, at least the stability of the basic foundation can be guaranteed.

While soaring to great heights is not easy, at least stability can be guaranteed!

At this moment, Xuan Du of the Human Sect stroked his beard and said, "Our Human Sect is based on humanity, but spiritual energy is scarce, making cultivation difficult for mortals. Now that the innate source has descended, the human race's physique will be nourished, and the number of cultivators will increase day by day. The future of the human race is promising."

Tianpeng then asked, "Master, is it time to open the mountain gate?"

Xuandu nodded: "Indeed, it is time for the Human Sect to reopen its gates. After the Journey to the West, the Heart Path became the mainstream of the human race. Now that the Primordial Origin has returned, the human race will rebuild the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir. The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is the fastest path of cultivation for the human race. Our sect will once again usher in a great opportunity for prosperity. The Shu Mountain and Emei lineages of the Human Sect will both open their mountains and accept disciples!"

"Your disciple obeys."

After the Journey to the West, the Human Sect weakened. When the Primordial Origin descended to earth, it was inevitable that the human race would rebuild the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir and become the mainstream. Then the Human Sect would also be greatly revived. This was the great opportunity that Heaven gave to the Human Sect.

At Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi gazed at the ginseng fruit tree, which was becoming increasingly verdant due to its innate essence, and the patterns on its trunk shimmering with the spiritual light of the Great Dao. He stroked his beard and wept with joy.

"I was born in the ancient times and personally experienced the devastation of the Dragon-Han Calamity, witnessing the pain of the disappearance of the primordial source. During the war between the witches and demons, the primordial spiritual energy gradually thinned out. In the war of the gods, the primordial land was shattered, and by the time of the Journey to the West, the spiritual energy was almost completely cut off. My ginseng fruit was also damaged at its root due to the changes in the primordial world, and I thought that there was no hope for the Great Dao in this life. I never thought that I would be able to see the primordial source again!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue, who were standing beside Zhen Yuanzi, were also extremely excited. Zhen Yuanzi looked into the void and exclaimed with great excitement, "The Primordial Origin has returned! The Great Dao can be achieved!"

Zhen Yuanzi's feelings were like picking up flowers in the morning and evening; he was so excited that he burst into tears!

In the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Styx Ancestor appeared from the depths of the Blood Sea, his body radiating a blood-red light due to his innate origin.

At this moment, Styx couldn't help but roar to the sky, his voice filled with long-suppressed excitement: "Hahaha! The Primordial Origin! It's finally back! All the ancient Primordial Saints made rapid progress in their cultivation because of the abundance of Primordial Origin. After the Dragon-Han Calamity, the Origin disappeared. After the Lich King and the Demon King, my cultivation stagnated, and I struggled to maintain the Blood Sea. Now that the Origin has descended, the Styx lineage will finally rise. There may be an opportunity to attain the Primordial Golden Immortal. I have finally waited for this day!"

It can be said that the arrival of the innate essence is the greatest benefit for these innate deities, like a long-awaited rain after a drought. In the fairyland of West Kunlun Mountain, the Queen Mother of the West gazed at the yellow plums in her garden, which had blossomed anew thanks to the innate essence, with tears in her eyes.

The descent of the primordial essence is most responsive to these primordial immortals, because these primordial spirits were born at the time of creation, and their perception of the essence is naturally the most acute.

"In the past, the ancient primordial deities gathered together, how lively it was! After the Dragon-Han Calamity, the primordial deities withered away. Through the Wu-Yao War, the Investiture of the Gods, and the Journey to the West, one calamity after another has passed, and West Kunlun has lost its former glory. Now that the primordial origin has reappeared, I, this humble Daoist, will seize this opportunity to revitalize Yaochi and prove the Great Dao once again!"

In the Northern Sea, the Kunpeng awoke from its slumber, feeling the primordial energy surging into its body. Excitedly, it flapped its enormous wings, creating towering waves, and laughed heartily: "Hahahaha! I have survived countless eons, living from the Primordial Era to the present, witnessing the rise and fall of the Great Wilderness. During the Dragon-Han Era, the primordial energy was abundant, and my cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds; after the primordial energy disappeared, cultivation became extremely difficult, forcing me to hide in the Northern Sea. Now that the primordial energy has descended, my path to the Great Dao finally has hope again!"

Within the Thunder Marsh, the Thunder Marsh God watched as the lightning flashing in the sky grew increasingly violent due to its innate origin, and he laughed heartily, his voice resounding like thunder throughout the heavens and earth.

"In ancient times, Thunder Marsh was abundant with primordial energy, and the Great Dao was clearly visible, allowing me to cultivate smoothly. After countless eons, Thunder Marsh's primordial spiritual energy was depleted, and I sought the Great Dao in the south. Now, the primordial energy has reappeared, and my path to attaining the Great Dao has been re-established."

For a time, all living beings in the primordial world and all the innate gods were overjoyed by the arrival of the innate origin. Their words were filled with reminiscence of the ancient glory,感慨 about the past eons, and infinite longing for the future attainment of the Great Dao.

The primordial land, thanks to the arrival of this innate source, once again radiated with vibrant life, its vastness beyond description.

This is the will of all beings, which cannot be reversed by one person. At the same time, the decline of the innate source and the increase of opportunities for all beings will completely eliminate all causal outbreaks, and the time will become very long.

For Yin Ziyu, if he insists on relying on the darkness of all living beings to gather humanity and break the shackles, then he is going to the opposite side of all living beings.

First, he is not tolerated by the masses; second, he is not tolerated by the Way of Heaven. Therefore, for Yin Ziyu, the only option is to directly break the shackles of the Way of Heaven with force.

If this impasse is broken, it will be a certain death; if it is not broken, the descent of a sage will be inevitable, and the overall situation will have nothing to do with Yin Ziyu anymore.

In other words, even if Yin Ziyu is currently the number one person in the Three Realms, he would instantly become an ant once a saint descends to earth, and his influence on the Three Realms would instantly drop to zero.

At this point, should we take a gamble? If we don't, there's no hope left. If we do take a gamble, the only option is to actively break free of our shackles, which is also a dead end.

Jiufeng is also someone who is about to attain enlightenment in the Three Realms. She faces the same predicament as Yin Ziyu, so they sympathize with each other.

Former allies, having weathered the crisis and ushered in a period of great prosperity, are unlikely to betray their own interests and walk the same path again, even though they remain allies.

Although this is a calculated move by Heaven, and the Three Realms may enter a period of decline once Yin Ziyu and Jiu Feng, the two people about to attain enlightenment, are eliminated, it will be difficult to change the current prosperous state.

Individuals are insignificant and cannot resist the overwhelming force of nature; they too are swept along by this torrent.

Yin Ziyu naturally understood the key point, and Houtu also understood that at this moment, the origin descended into the world, the relationship between the three realms changed, and the Wu tribe became Yin Ziyu's most reliable ally. Houtu naturally understood this, so she proposed a marriage alliance, and Yin Ziyu understood this and naturally chose the marriage alliance.

This is also why, after the Origin descended to earth, Yin Ziyu did not seek out Tongtian and Nuwa, but went directly to Houtu. At this moment, only those who share the same plight can empathize with each other, and one should not actively make things difficult for others. If one were to actively make things difficult for former allies and current beneficiaries, it would be wrong of one to do so.

At the same time, Yin Ziyu should not actively continue to promote his own path to hinder all beings from finding new opportunities. Whether the path of the heart grows or declines, what Yin Ziyu needs to do now is to maintain a non-active mindset and not force things.

If you force it, you will become an enemy of all living beings and betray your own Dao. If you don't force it, your origin will remain in the Three Realms, but the price is that your spiritual path cannot grow.

Meanwhile, within the Pangu Palace, chaotic energy surged. Yin Ziyu and Jiufeng stood side by side before the divine statue, the echoes of their vow as Daoist partners still reverberating in the palace beams.

As the last wisp of chaotic energy merged into their brows, the two opened their eyes simultaneously. In that instant, the entire hall seemed to be cleaved in two divine beams of light.

Yin Ziyu's seven-aperture heart suddenly lit up. The first five apertures flowed with the golden light of humanistic faith, the sixth aperture was suspended with transcendent white air currents, and only the seventh aperture was still covered with a thin mist, but under the infusion of Pangu's will, it faintly revealed the light of transcendence.

Yin Ziyu could clearly perceive that behind that thin mist lay the boundary between Hunyuan and Transcendence. Once he broke through it, he would reach Hunyuan and true Transcendence.

However, this final key is also mysterious and profound, like the gate to all wonders. The heart of transcendence has been perfected, but what it faces is the insurmountable barrier of the shackles of the Heavenly Dao.

With his transcendent heart fulfilled and his understanding of Pangu's will complete, Yin Ziyu had just attained this. It was a gift from the Pangu Palace's will to Yin Ziyu's heart and a recognition of his bond with Jiufeng.

This is not like the Hunyuan of later Blue Star, where marriage is a joke. Even the Taoist marriages on Blue Star are about sharing life and death, let alone the vows made by Taoist couples before the statue of Pangu.

It can be said that immortals generally do not have Daoist partners. Those who do have Daoist partners must be truly committed to sharing life and death, which is extremely demanding.

The marriage of immortals transcends the sexual and procreative values ​​of mortal marriage, and all the meanings that mortals consider to be related to marriage. It has a higher meaning, and first and foremost, the two people's paths cannot be different.

While one cannot analyze matters as profoundly as the Three Pure Ones, one should at least strive to achieve the level of understanding of Jieyin and Zhunti; this is the basic requirement.

"Om-"

Yin Ziyu gained something, and so did Jiu Feng. The twelve Ancestral Witch Laws around Jiu Feng suddenly surged, transforming into twelve towering pillars of light that surrounded her.

Suddenly, Jiufeng's physical body transformed into its true form, which was a nine-headed divine bird. Each head could breathe in and out Xuanming Qi, and its body was surrounded by a dark blue mist. When its wings were spread, the void froze and the starry river stagnated.

Each head has a cold and solemn expression, a blood-red beak, and feathers that are a mix of dark blue and silver.

Yin Ziyu watched quietly as the Nine Phoenixes gathered their own laws, and Pangu's will converged on the bodies of the Nine Phoenixes. In an instant, the twelve laws condensed into a miniature phantom of the Heaven-Opening Axe. The axe blade flowed with the original aura of the Great Dao of Power, and it was only one step away from the final perfection of the Dao of Creation.

That's right, Jiufeng also entered the Great Perfection realm, which was about to be realized, because of her vow of Dao with Yin Ziyu.

After condensing Pangu's will, Jiufeng immediately transformed into human form, appearing as a stunningly beautiful woman around twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

Of course, there are no ugly people among the primordial fairies, but the Nine Phoenixes have their own unique characteristics.

Her black hair cascaded down to her waist, her face was delicate and angular, her skin was as smooth as snow, her eyes were deep as a cold pool, and her pupils faintly shimmered with a light like ice crystals. The corners of her eyes naturally turned up, adding a touch of sharpness.

Although she was a woman, her every move exuded a breathtaking sense of oppression, like a female war goddess, carrying a coldness and arrogance.

Nine Phoenixes naturally possess proud bloodlines and abilities. During the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, it used the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Dance to tear apart the remnants of the demon race's Zhou Tian Star Array. Its nine phantom heads covered the sky and the Xuanbing Qi froze the stars, ultimately forcing Taiyi to personally intervene and stop it.

This battle also established the reputation of the Nine Phoenix Witch Clan's first female war goddess, who was later hunted down by Lu Ya and Guang Chengzi in the ancient star.

In the great battle of the Journey to the West, Taishang remained undefeated, thus achieving his second great reputation.

At this moment, their eyes met in the air. Yin Ziyu reached out and grasped Jiu Feng's hand, and Jiu Feng naturally and sincerely grasped Yin Ziyu's hand in return.

"Since the War of the Investiture of the Gods, and ever since then, I have never thought of a Daoist partner. Now that I have obtained Jiufeng, this longing in my heart has finally been fulfilled. Now that we are Daoist partners, we should be as one, sharing life and death!"

Yin Ziyu's voice carried an unprecedented sentiment, and his keen heart trembled slightly in his chest!
Jiufeng was naturally moved upon hearing this. The Wu tribe valued loyalty and righteousness, and Jiufeng was upright, straightforward, and had a fiery temper.

“I was born in the primordial chaos and have witnessed countless battles between witches and demons. I considered matters of Daoist companionship nothing more than a joke. It was only after I made a vow with Ziyu that I realized my primordial spirit was connected to your heart. I never knew that being so close to you was such a wonderful thing. From now on, we are one. We will embark on the Great Dao together and share both glory and disgrace.”

Nine Phoenix's response was resounding, and the phantom of the Heaven-Opening Axe in his primordial spirit and the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart on his chest lit up at the same time, with two beams of divine light piercing through the dome of the Pangu Palace.

Outside the palace, Houtu Niangniang looked at the two intertwined pillars of light, a look of satisfaction flashing across her face.

Inside the Pangu Palace, if they were to discuss this further, the outside world would have no way of predicting what would happen. Jiufeng asked, "The current heavenly order is aimed at the two of us!"

Yin Ziyu nodded: "The Heavenly Dao does not allow the Human Dao and the Earth Dao to take shape, nor does it allow anyone to enter the Primordial Chaos. If the Heavenly Dao does not interfere, the Human Dao and the Earth Dao will inevitably take shape. Under this trend, you and I can also break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and prove the Dao. The Heavenly Dao will definitely have a response. It is reasonable for it to use the origin to form the Human Dao. What you and I are facing now is the descent of a sage in the near future!"

Jiufeng's expression was solemn: "If that's the case, then the two of us will be annihilated in an instant by the power of the primordial world, and proving the Dao by force will bring endless heavenly punishment upon us!"

Yin Ziyu nodded: "That's right. This open scheme of Heaven is extremely difficult to resolve. Jiufeng, now we need to start preparing. The Pangu Palace is the most secret place in the prehistoric world. I have a plan that can help you achieve enlightenment!"

Jiufeng was taken aback: "Ziyu, the Heavenly Dao is so powerful, and its shackles are so strong, how can there be a way to break them? Even with our cultivation levels, we can hardly withstand a single blow from Heavenly Punishment!"

After listening, Yin Ziyu said, "That's right, our cultivation levels are indeed insufficient to withstand the Heavenly Punishment. However, I have a plan to circumvent it. The only way is to cultivate and discuss in the Pangu Palace. When the Sage presses on us, that will be the day of our enlightenment. The bloodline of the Wu Clan will take on countless forms and fall into the river of time and destiny to cultivate. The Heavenly Dao is hesitant to act rashly, so this may not be an impossible path to enlightenment. However, this path still requires careful consideration and thorough understanding before it can be opened!"

Yin Ziyu's method of attaining enlightenment came from the methods of attaining enlightenment in the outer wastelands. What he needs to do now is to allow for mistakes, since the worlds are different and the realms are different, therefore he needs to be able to tolerate all errors. (End of Chapter)
