Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 128 Zhunti: This Underworld Realm Should Be Under Our Control

"Time, space, destiny, cause and effect, plus reincarnation—I have already mastered half of the ten supreme laws. If I could comprehend the other half, how terrifying would its power be?"

"At that time, even without battling Hongjun, I alone will be able to break through the barriers of the chaotic world!"

As for the other half of the top laws that have not yet been comprehended, they are creation, destruction, chaos, the five elements, and yin and yang!

For ordinary cultivators, comprehending any one of these is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

But Taihao wanted to comprehend ten!

Even for the other five laws that he had not yet comprehended, he already had a clue!

Thinking about it, Taihao had the idea of ​​going into seclusion again.

There will always be insights gained after a great battle.

The higher the level of combat, the deeper the understanding one usually gains.

The battle between Taihao and Hongjun was undoubtedly of a higher level, with each contest reaching a higher level than the last.

Last time, it caused the heavens and earth to split apart, and the primordial world to become two halves.

This time, although the two primordial worlds were not significantly affected, they still managed to create a hole in the chaos.

Breaking through the chaos is more significant than dividing the primordial world into two.

This means that the chaos of this world will no longer be able to withstand a battle of Taihao's level, especially after Taihao became even stronger.

This gives us an idea of ​​the scale of the battle.

Naturally, Taihao gained quite a few insights.

If he can fully digest these insights, and with the help of other spoils of war, it is very possible for him to break through from the late stage of Hunyuan to the peak of Hunyuan!

Even so, Taihao was still in no hurry to go into seclusion.

Firstly, the necessary items for the retreat were not fully prepared.

Secondly, the battle is not completely over, and there are still a considerable amount of spoils to be harvested.

These spoils of war include not only Hongjun's collection, but also an entire Hunyuan World!

In any case, Taihao will only begin his seclusion after the Lesser Primordial World has been integrated into the Taihao Realm, or rather, after it has been devoured by the Taihao Realm.

He preferred to wait until then.

On the other hand, besides merging the two chaotic worlds together, he also needs to find all the things he needs for seclusion.

If possible, Taihao would like to go into seclusion for an extended period.

He grew so much that he not only broke through to the peak of the Primordial Chaos realm, but also comprehended the other five top-level laws.

Fortunately, Taihao has already made progress on these five top-level laws.

First and foremost are the laws of creation.

This law is the easiest for Taihao to obtain. Compared to other top-level laws, comprehending this law does not require Taihao to spend much time.

After all, before Nuwa attained enlightenment, she stayed in the Taihao Realm, and the laws she used to create humans from clay were recorded in the Taihao Realm.

Therefore, if Taihao Realm wanted to, he could completely comprehend those records.

Then comprehend this principle.

The three laws of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and Chaos can also be comprehended through the existence of spiritual treasures and artifacts.

The Five Elements need no further explanation.

If the essence of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) were in Taihao's hands, he would not even need to comprehend them to easily obtain the laws of the five elements.

The principles of Yin and Yang can be obtained through even more means.

As long as Taihao is willing, whether he uses the Taiji diagram to comprehend it or relies on the innate Yin and Yang energies, it is all possible.

As for the laws of chaos, they are not too difficult to understand.

At least for Taihao, this was the case.

Because he is not only in chaos at this moment, but also possesses two supreme treasures related to chaos!

The Chaos Pearl goes without saying.

This innate treasure obtained from the Ancestral Dragon Pearl contains a chaotic space, making it the best plan for comprehending the laws of chaos.

Aside from the four laws, even the most difficult-to-access Law of Destruction, Taihao has a way to comprehend.

Based solely on the projection of the world-destroying millstone that he shattered in the chaos more than ten eons ago!

More than ten eons ago, the Great Millstone of Annihilation appeared outside the newly formed Taihao Realm, intending to absorb as much of the calamity energy brought by the two parts of the Primordial World as possible while erasing the traces of the Dao!

This is tantamount to robbing Taihao of his spoils of war, which Taihao would certainly not tolerate.

So he took matters into his own hands and shattered the world-destroying millstone.

However, after shattering it, Taihao realized that what he had destroyed was not the actual Great Millstone of Annihilation, but a projection.

Although it was just a projection, it looked incredibly realistic.

Therefore, after it was destroyed, the fragments were not only numerous and pure, but more importantly, they were filled with the aura of destruction. It could almost be said that they were formed by the laws of destruction.

Taihao happened to have many of these fragments.

Therefore, he only needs to digest all the laws of destruction within the fragments to have a very high chance of comprehending the laws of destruction.

In this way, Taihao could potentially master all ten top-level laws!

Master the ten top principles?

Taihao couldn't help but sigh, because this was a feat that no one had ever accomplished before, not even Pangu.

Or rather, if Pangu had been able to do this, the creation of the world might not have failed.

This shows how difficult it is to master the ten top laws, so much so that even Pangu could not do it.

But Taihao has a good chance.

This was possible not only because Taihao was highly perceptive, but also because he had many people and things to learn from and reference.

Currently, this can be considered the channel for comprehending these five top-level laws.

If it weren't for the possibility of finding a shortcut to enlightenment, Taihao wouldn't have had such an idea—to comprehend five top-level laws in one go.

Of course, besides shortcuts, there was something else that gave him confidence.

What is that?

The Jade Disc of Creation!

And it is the Creation Jade Disc after the fusion is complete.

Its grade is even higher than that of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure!

We're almost at the threshold of obtaining a Chaos Treasure!

Even before fusion, the Jade Disc of Creation could already greatly assist the user in cultivating and deducing laws, let alone after fusion.

At this moment, Taihao was using the merged Creation Jade Disc to deduce the laws he wanted to comprehend, as well as the shortcuts needed to comprehend them.

In the blink of an eye, Taihao obtained the result.

Moreover, this result was incredibly detailed, and he himself told Taihao about it.

Where lies the opportunity to comprehend the ultimate laws?

This made Taihao nod repeatedly.

Even without relying on the Jade Disc of Creation, he could still deduce it, but it would definitely take more than that short period of time.

With the help of the Jade Disc of Creation, the time he needed to deduce was reduced by at least five times!

This means that Taihao will be able to comprehend the laws much faster afterward.

Thinking it over, Taihao no longer hesitated.

Prepare to travel to the place predicted by the Jade Disc of Creation.

However, this place is not a single location, so Taihao can only visit them one by one.

He quickly made a decision.

"The Underworld!"

"Whether it's the Lesser Primordial Underworld or the Taihao Realm Underworld, both are worth a visit!"

"The former has information about the whereabouts of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, the latter..."

Thinking of this, a hint of coldness appeared in Taihao's eyes.

Because the Taihao Realm Underworld has three cultivators at the Hunyuan level!

One is Houtu, and the other two are a Western duo.

That is, Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Hmph! Since Hongjun has been defeated and fled, then you can forget about leaving!"

When the passage between Taihao Realm and Lesser Primordial World opened, Jieyin and Zhunti left Lesser Primordial World early and arrived in Taihao Realm, even earlier than the Three Pure Ones and others.

The only difference is that the place they went to was completely different from that of the Three Pure Ones and others.

One is the sky, the other is the earth.

It refers to heaven and earth in the literal sense.

The Three Pure Ones went to the Taihao Realm.

Jieyin and Zhunti went to the underworld.

The moment the passage opened, the two sensed an opportunity from the direction of the underworld.

They had a premonition even before they arrived.

This premonition told them that as long as they could break through the Taihao Realm Underworld and change its ownership, they could repay most of the merits and karmic debts they owed when they attained enlightenment!

Not only that, but one's cultivation level can even improve.

More importantly, their long-held desire to promote Western culture can also be partially fulfilled as a result.

If we could also control the underworld of the Lesser Primordial World, with the power of the two underworlds, we could definitely make the West prosper!

With this in mind, the two arrived in the underworld as quickly as possible.

Upon arriving in the underworld, the two were immediately amazed.

Because the Taihao Realm of the Underworld is well-ordered, no matter if they are wandering ghosts or demons, they must behave themselves here and not cause any trouble.

Everything seemed so orderly.

In contrast, the underworld of the Lesser Primordial World was like a bustling marketplace.

Not only is there no order, but mistakes even occur when allowing wandering ghosts to reincarnate!

If something goes wrong in the cycle of reincarnation, it's no small matter.

If something goes wrong, it will cause resentment, making the tunnel unstable and affecting other parts of the world.

In this regard, not to mention Jieyin and Zhunti, even Hongjun himself didn't have any good solutions.

This was true even in the earliest history.

After all, if he could do it himself, he wouldn't need to follow the general trend of heaven and earth; he himself would be the trend.

Therefore, Hongjun could only watch helplessly as things unfolded in the Lesser Primordial Underworld.

If even Hongjun couldn't do it, then the Three Pure Ones and others certainly couldn't.

Because if you want the cycle of reincarnation to be stable, the first thing you need is a cultivator who is proficient in the laws of reincarnation; otherwise, no amount of rare and precious materials can achieve this.

Coincidentally, there were no such cultivators in the Lesser Primordial World.

However, it exists in the Taihao Realm.

Moreover, he had cultivated the Law of Reincarnation to its peak.

In addition to the various suggestions given by Taihao, and the fact that countless members of the Wu clan went to the underworld to serve as Yin soldiers and generals, the stability of the Taihao Realm's underworld can be understood.

"Senior brother, this realm is so complete. Once we have control over both the underworlds, we must ensure that they can communicate with each other!"

"Junior brother is absolutely right. I have a feeling that as long as we can control both underworlds, the fortune we gain will be enough for us to reach the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm!"

"If that's the case, then we'll have to observe it carefully!"

Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti's face lit up with joy.

Zhunti was naturally aware of that premonition, but since Jieyin didn't say anything, he couldn't be sure either.

Now that Jieyin has spoken ahead of time, he has dispelled Zhunti's doubts. If both of the Primordial Saints had such a premonition, then there is no way it could be false.

In other words, this is where their destiny began.

It is also related to the great vows made by the two before they attained enlightenment.

But just as the two were about to continue their investigation, their divine senses were blocked by a sudden, powerful force.

Clearly, this is also a mixed entity!

Before Jieyin and Zhunti could even ask, the cultivator who unleashed this immense power had already appeared before them.

This was a stunningly beautiful woman in a plain palace dress. Even when facing two saints, she didn't frown at all. Instead, she parted her lips slightly and spoke.

"Go back to where you came from; this is not a place for you."

"Houtu?"

Zhunti frowned and said, his tone somewhat uncertain.

The reason he was uncertain was that he found himself unable to see through this woman who had suddenly appeared. Although he could sense a trace of familiarity from her, she was still mostly a stranger.

Not only Zhunti, but also Jieyin could not see through it.

But one thing is certain for both of them.

That's the woman before them; her cultivation must be above theirs! There's actually a Primordial Chaos Realm in the Taihao Realm?

After reaching this conclusion, the two looked both surprised and doubtful. However, in the next moment, they received the answer from the woman.

However, this answer not only failed to resolve their confusion, but actually made them even more puzzled...

"I, Empress, am of the highest order; I am not Houtu!"
