Humans in the primordial world, inscribing the Way of Heaven!

Chapter 176 [Leveraging External Forces, Slaying Taiqing with a Sword] (Please Subscribe)
"This is a business with no capital!"

Seeing the dragon-man emerge from the divine banner again, Zhao Gongming's eyes lit up, as if he had gained a new understanding of the supernatural power of forced buying and selling.

He sacrificed his fortune, transferring the power of the curse to the dragonman. After the dragonman was resurrected, that fortune naturally belonged to the dragonman who bore the cost.

but……

These dragon people are controlled by the Banner of Light. Their lives, thoughts, fortune, and the Great Dao are all firmly in the grasp of Xuan Yin, the banner bearer.

Their fortune, for Xuan Yin, could be bestowed upon him at any time, or taken away at any time; it was something he could take at will.

With just a thought, Xuan Yin could transfer their fortune back to Zhao Gongming.

"Junior brother, are you selling your Brightness Banner?"

Zhao Gongming's supernatural powers, though formidable, come at a price, but he has now found a way to avoid that price.

As long as the object of his transferred fortune is under his control and its life and death are in his hands, wouldn't the fortune he gave up be taken back at any time?
Xuan Yin immediately guessed Zhao Gongming's thoughts and shook his head, saying, "I won't sell! But I can lend you the Banner of Light to study!"

These dragon people are his good helpers in managing the spirit world, the spirit network, and the multiverse trading platform, so he naturally wouldn't sell them to Zhao Gongming easily!

However, it's still possible to lend it to Zhao Gongming for research, imprint the divine rules on it, and have him refine a similar divine artifact!

In fact, Luo Hou's demonic lineage included similar banners such as the Myriad Soul Banner and the Billion Soul Banner, but he simply didn't want Zhao Gongming to come into contact with the demonic path!

However, when Di Jun led the demon race, he forged the Demon-Summoning Banner. When Dong Wanggong established the Celestial Court, he also forged the Immortal-Gathering Banner, which could command all immortals. As long as we understand the laws and restrictions contained within them, it would not be difficult for Zhao Gongming, with his cultivation as a Daluo Golden Immortal, to forge a similar magic weapon!
Zhao Gongming did not hesitate and took the Brightness Banner to study it. He was asked to find those innocent creatures to be the banner spirits. He might not be able to get over that mental hurdle, but as the Eastern Ghost Emperor, he knew that the Netherworld had no shortage of wicked creatures.

By finding some heinous beings to act as spirits to transfer negative states and then reclaiming their fortune, he would not feel any psychological burden.

At the same time, Fuxi was extremely worried. Although the curse had been lifted, he had fought against Haotian and Yaochi for so long while bearing the curse, and his innate essence had been greatly depleted.

Most importantly, Yingzhao and more than a dozen other Great Luo Immortals from the Human Dao Divine Dynasty have been listed on the Investiture of the Gods, and their lives are now entirely in the hands of Haotian.

If this problem cannot be solved, who will dare to pledge allegiance to the Humanitarian Divine Dynasty?
For a moment, Fuxi was filled with thoughts. He even considered luring Haotian out of the Heavenly Court and then using Zhao Gongming's Treasure-Dropping Coin to try to bring down the Investiture of the Gods. But Haotian, knowing the existence of the Treasure-Dropping Coin, would he easily bring out the Investiture of the Gods?
Haotian wasn't stupid. After knowing about and witnessing the Falling Treasure Coin, he would definitely be extra wary of those who fought against him.

Outsmarting them won't work!
Even if he were to force his way in, and his strength surpassed that of Haotian, Haotian still controlled the Investiture of the Gods, and with the several Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Immortals stationed in the Heavenly Court, their strength was no less than that of the Human Dao Divine Dynasty. Even if they organized another great war, it would be difficult for them to defeat Haotian and obtain the Investiture of the Gods.

"Perhaps I should try to leverage this opportunity!"

Fuxi's wisdom was unparalleled in the primordial world; he instantly devised the best solution.

Among all the saints, the one most likely to support him at this moment is neither Nuwa nor Houtu, but Yuanshi Tianzun, who wants to prove the origin of immortals and gods.

He had always known that Yuanshi Tianzun allowed the Four-Unlikes to join the Human Dao Divine Dynasty because he wanted to see the Human Dao Divine Dynasty and the Heavenly Court both suffer heavy losses!
Maintaining the status quo!

In order to gain fortune, the human dynasty and the heavenly court are bound to clash, and the Primordial Celestial Venerable can choose to watch from the sidelines.

If Haotian had not had the Investiture of the Gods, then in the end, the human divine dynasty and the heavenly court would most likely have suffered mutual destruction under the sage's scheme.

But now...

With Haotian in control of the Investiture of the Gods, the human divine dynasty was at a disadvantage. If Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to restore order, he had to provide some assistance to Fuxi.

Only in this way could Yuanshi Tianzun have the opportunity to set up the Heavenly Court, override Haotian, and use the many powers of the Heavenly Court to prove the source of immortal and divine laws.

Thinking of this, Fuxi felt a slight relaxation in his tense state of mind.

He began to pay attention to the great war in outer space.

……

Nuwa, who attained enlightenment through both Heaven and Earth, possessed power that increased several times over. She was unafraid even when facing Laozi, who used the One Qi to transform into the Three Pure Ones technique.

Do you really think I'm afraid of you?

Nuwa sneered, her eyes seemingly able to see through all illusions: "You have already created twenty chaotic eras with this transformation of Qi into the Three Pure Ones. Do you really think that I have not studied how to break it?"

"It's just that you, Taiqing, obtained some of Pangu's Daoist essence when you entered Pangu's abode, and attained a Supreme Dao Fruit in the endless river of time and space!"

"Then, he transformed into the Three Pure Ones, guiding the Primordial Beginning and the acquired spiritual treasures to emerge. In the endless space-time, he intercepted the imprints of those two fellow Daoists, and then transformed his original form into the Moral Celestial Venerable, intending to obtain some human fortune in the matter of teaching in the Primordial True World!"

"But even if those two have flaws in their Dao attainment, they are still true Heavenly Dao Saints. How could you possibly intercept the Dao attainment they have achieved?"

"Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing appear to be a unified entity, but if I were to eliminate Taiqing first, Yuqing and Shangqing would naturally crumble on their own!"

The Primordial Beginning is in the past, symbolizing creation, the beginning of everything, and the cause of all results. The Spiritual Treasure is in the future, the end of heaven and earth, and simultaneously governs postnatal education. They are two completely different paths. If morality were not the foundation for their existence, connecting them, how could they exist in the same time and space?

Lao Tzu comprehended the concept of One Qi transforming into the Three Pure Ones, and sought to achieve simultaneous realization of the past, present, and future. The most important thing was to connect with the Taiqing Daoist who connected the past and future.

Boom!

The Mountain and River Map and the Red Embroidered Ball blocked Yuqing Daoist and Shangqing Daoist respectively. The Primordial Holy Sword, carrying unparalleled killing power, slashed straight at Taiqing Daoist. The extreme destructive power spread throughout the heavens, and Laozi's divine power immediately showed a slight, imperceptible flaw.

Taiqing Xuanhuang Merit Pagoda

Left with no other choice, the Taoist Taiqing unleashed his magic weapon to defend himself, and endless Xuanhuang light descended, but Nuwa's killing power was even greater.

"If it were the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, a supreme treasure of the acquired world, I naturally could not break it. However, that treasure has already been divided by Fellow Daoist Tongtian using the karma of Pangu. This Taiqing Profound Yellow Merit Pagoda, although not bad, is still no match for my Primordial Holy Sword!" Nuwa shouted. Between the rise and fall of her sword, divine light stretched for billions of feet, and the two paths of heaven and earth rotated, actually evolving into a scene reminiscent of the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth.

Although the Taiqing Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda is a top-grade acquired merit spiritual treasure, Nuwa's Hongmeng Holy Sword is even more powerful.

The light barrier formed by the Xuan Guang Qi was directly shattered by a single sword strike, and the ultimate destructive sword light immediately struck Taiqing Laozi's Taiqing incarnation.

Although this sword strike was aimed at Taiqing Daoist, as his foundation became unstable, the figures of Shangqing Daoist and Yuqing Daoist also became illusory.

"Cut again!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Nuwa used the Lotus Lantern to protect herself, while the power of the two paths of heaven and earth simultaneously suppressed Taiqing's true form.

But the sword light in his hand still carried endless killing intent, fiercely slashing towards Taiqing Daoist.

This time, Taiqing Daoist was killed by a single sword strike, and Yuqing Daoist and Shangqing Daoist, who were standing beside him, also disappeared into the void along with Taiqing Daoist.

"I see!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, seemed to be deep in thought as he observed the scene: "Without Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing cannot be reflected!"

The Dao fruit of Taiqing Laozi is in the present, the Dao fruit of Yuanshi Tianzun was before the creation of heaven and earth, and the Dao fruit of Lingbao Tianzun was at the end of the world.

Although they appear to be a trinity, they actually exist in different times and spaces. Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu are actually reflections of the Dao fruit of the original deity.

Only Taiqing Laozi manifested his true form in the Primordial True Realm.

Long ago, the Tongtian Sect Leader also speculated that the weakness of the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones lay in the Taiqing Daoist, who symbolized the foundation of existence. However, every time Taiqing Laozi used his supernatural powers, he had the Taiqing Daoist bear the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, an acquired treasure, which invisibly concealed this weakness.

With this supreme treasure above his head, he was invincible from the start, so the weakness of the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones was naturally no weakness at all!

In this current timeline, even with the methods of the Tongtian Sect Leader, it would be impossible to break this supreme treasure.

However, not long ago, when the Three Pure Ones separated, the Tongtian Sect Leader used the karma of Pangu to split the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda into three parts, causing it to fall to the level of a supreme acquired treasure. As long as one goes all out and uses the methods of a sage, it is not a problem to break through the defense of a top-grade acquired merit spiritual treasure.

Just now, Nuwa's thunderous method of breaking Taiqing Laozi's One Qi Transformation into Three Pure Ones undoubtedly verified the Tongtian Sect Leader's long-held speculation.

"The One Qi Transformation into Three Pure Ones technique has been broken!"

The Guide Daoist also showed a look of shock. Of the Three Pure Ones, he was most wary of Laozi. In the past twenty eras, he had also been trying to deduce and decipher the method of One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones.

But found nothing.

Now that Nuwa has just completed her second certification, she has forcefully broken through Taiqing Laozi's divine powers using the most direct means.

"This is unbelievable!"

Daoist Zhunti murmured, "After obtaining the second certificate, is the increase in strength so obvious?"

Not long ago, he and the Guide had fought against Nuwa. Although the battle ended with them surrendering, the pressure Nuwa exerted on them was far less intense than it is now.

If they use some of their trump cards and disregard the Western fortune, there is still a 70-80% chance they can suppress Nuwa's arrogance.

But now, even Taiqing Laozi has suffered a great loss. Even if they use their trump cards, they will most likely not be a match for Nuwa.

"It's amazing!"

Although the transformation of Qi into the Three Pure Ones was broken by Nuwa, Taiqing Laozi remained calm and used the Taiji Diagram to firmly protect himself.

After obtaining the second certificate, Nuwa's foundation was already above that of Taiqing. In a direct confrontation, he would have no chance of gaining the slightest advantage from Nuwa!

However, he also has his own advantages!
That's the Tai Chi symbol!

This innate treasure, while slightly inferior in defensive power to the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, possesses the ability to transform spacetime into primordial chaos.

In addition, it can also act as the core of the formation, just like the Primordial Chaos Divine Talisman.

【Two Elements Micro Dust Array】

With a slight thought, Laozi of Taiqing transformed the Taiji Diagram into primordial chaos, instantly constructing a grand array within the endless chaos.

As Nuwa said, he wanted to witness the past, present, and future together, and during those twenty cycles of reincarnation, he studied the methods of Yuanshi and Lingbao quite a bit.

Yuanshi excels at crafting tools, while Lingbao excels at array formations. The Two Elements Microcosm Array is based on the innate Yin and Yang, evolving into six mysteries of birth, death, obscurity, light, illusion, and extinction.

The great formation instantly enveloped Nuwa.

In terms of attack power, the Two Elements Dust Array is inferior to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array, as well as the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Array and the Zhou Tian Star Array.

However, in terms of the ability to trap people, it is in no way inferior in Taiqing Laozi's vision, thanks to the innate five elements array set up with the innate five elements flag.

Even if Nuwa attained sainthood twice, breaking the formation would not be an easy task!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to trap the Tongtian Sect Leader for so long outside Jin'ao Island!
