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

Chapter 19 The Great Calamity Erupts, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation

The moment Taihao accepted the Golden Lotus of Merit, the Golden Wheel of Merit that Taihao had already cultivated trembled slightly. Taihao was enlightened and immediately discovered a piece of information that surprised him.

"What?"

"Can the Golden Lotus of Merit advance its level by absorbing merit?"

"And even after advancing, it doesn't become a treasure of merit, but a supreme innate treasure!"

"So... a twenty-four-tiered lotus platform?"

Taihao was somewhat surprised.

Because in the history of the primordial world, there is no such thing as the Golden Lotus of Merit absorbing merit and being able to advance in rank. Jieyin has never done this, and there has not even been any news about it.

How could they be different?

Taihao frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.

"Guidance certainly won't allow the Golden Lotus of Merit to advance; he'd love for the Golden Lotus to replenish his merit!"

Why?

The reason why Jieyin was able to attain enlightenment was that he made forty-eight great vows to the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao bestowed merit upon him, which enabled him to attain enlightenment.

In other words, they borrowed a large sum of merit from Heaven.

How big is it?

It's unbelievably big!

Enough to make Jieyin instantly become a saint!

"Perhaps it was because Jieyin extracted the Golden Lotus's essence to make up for his loss that the Golden Lotus was so easily drained of three grades by Mosquito Daoist, causing its quality to drop."

"Otherwise, how could a treasure used by a sect to suppress its fortune be destroyed so easily? The lotus platform isn't made of paper!"

In an instant, Taihao understood everything.

But he soon faced a new problem: the amount of merit required for advancing to the next level of the lotus platform was extremely high!

It's almost as much as the amount of merit needed to achieve sainthood.

Such a great deal of merit was beyond what even Taihao could produce in a short time.

"But it doesn't matter, I am the greatest philanthropist in the primordial world, accumulating merit is not difficult for me at all!"

Besides, isn't there a great good deed we can plan right now?

"No, if you count carefully, it should be two cases!"

One is to protect the Western spiritual veins as much as possible!

The other is to defeat Rahu and restore peace to the primordial world!

"If I can accomplish these two things, even if I still can't advance to the next level, I should be close!"

Even without the Golden Lotus of Merit, Taihao would have considered whether to save the Western Spiritual Vein.

It wasn't that he was a saint, but rather that he had a vague premonition.

The conflict between the demonic and the righteous paths seems to have hidden secrets, and is not as simple as he imagined. If possible, he hopes to find some clues to verify his guesses.

With this thought in mind, Taihao no longer hesitated.

……

The ancestral land of the dragon race.

At this moment, deep within the ancestral land, three Daoists, each possessing extremely powerful cultivation, aura, and realm, were sitting and discussing the Dao. One was an elderly man with white hair and beard, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance; another was a middle-aged man dressed in black, with a dignified expression; and the last was a young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.

Strangely, the person speaking at this moment was neither an old man nor a middle-aged man.

It was that young man!

And it wasn't just for a short while; many years passed, and the old man and the middle-aged man didn't dare to interrupt, but listened attentively.

I dare not be distracted in the slightest.

What was supposed to be a discussion on the Dao turned into a solo performance by that young man; it was no longer a discussion, but a preaching!

"Hahaha, I never expected that after dozens of eons, I would be preaching to Hongjun again! Not only that, but this time, the Dragon Clan Chief, the Ancestral Dragon, is also listening!"

After taking a sip of the high-quality spiritual tea, Taihao felt refreshed and in a good mood.

"Fellow Daoist Taihao, is what you say true? My dragon clan's fate is so tragic, not only reduced to mounts of other races, but also to be killed at will? There isn't even a single strong one daring to stand up for us?"

Emperor Zulong was both shocked and furious, and still could not believe this fact.

"Whether it's true or not, Fellow Daoist Zulong should have the answer in his heart!" Taihao said in a profound and unfathomable way.

Does it mean, "Don't you have any self-awareness?"

Clearly, Zu Long was very shrewd.

So he remained silent.

And then remained silent for a long time.

Hongjun, however, noticed many things and was even more shocked.

"Taihao actually mastered two supreme laws! One is cause and effect, and the other is time?"

"And he used the Jade Disc of Creation without being rejected by it? Even compared to me, he's not far behind! He's calculated more and further ahead than I have! Not only did he know Luo Hou's plans, but he even... knew that Luo Hou was using baleful energy to forge a sword formation!"

"In other words, without the Jade Disc of Creation, would my divination abilities still be inferior to Taihao's?"

At this moment, Hongjun was a little confused.

If Hongjun had some doubts before about whether Taihao had pioneered a new method, he was now completely convinced.

At the same time, he also felt fortunate.

Fortunately, Taihao did not want to become the representative of the Heavenly Dao, otherwise, he would have another formidable enemy no less powerful than Rahu!

Thinking further, what if Taihao chose to cooperate with Luo Hou...

Then Hongjun will undoubtedly lose!

Of course, this was just wishful thinking on Hongjun's part.

The laws of Heaven are predetermined, and it was already destined that Hongjun would be the Dao Ancestor of future generations.

Even if Taihao is a variable, it is difficult to change the general trend of the prehistoric world!

On the other side, Zu Long, having calmed down, also made his own choice, his momentum unstoppable.

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Taihao, but the struggle between the three races is intensifying daily, and I will not withdraw halfway! Nor is it possible for me to withdraw halfway!"

"In this battle for destiny, our dragon race will win, and we must win!"

"As long as we win! The situations you mentioned won't happen!"

You refused?

Taihao was not too surprised.

Or rather, it would be strange if the First Emperor had agreed.

This is because it does not conform to the character of the Ancestral Dragon, nor does it align with the current interests of the Dragon Clan.

"However... I am not entirely confident of victory, because neither Yuan Feng, nor Shi Qilin, nor Luo Hou are easy to deal with! If I am defeated, the Dragon Clan will inevitably follow the future predicted by you, so..."

"I wish to use a portion of the Dragon Clan's treasure trove, and... my own Dragon Pearl, in exchange for your assistance to the Dragon Clan countless eons from now!"

"I don't expect you to always consider the dragon race's interests, I only hope that when the dragon race needs help, you can lend a hand, or rather... uphold justice!"

What do you mean?

Entrusting my orphan to someone?

It's somewhat similar, but not entirely.

"I accept your entrustment, fellow Daoist!"

Taihao said this to the Ancestral Dragon.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you, fellow Daoist!"

Upon hearing Taihao's reply, Zulong felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Taihao felt that the spirit and energy of the Ancestral Dragon seemed to be different after this moment.

My mood seems to have improved a bit as well.

Perhaps he will break through to the peak of Quasi-Saint soon?

"As expected, minor trends in the primordial world can be altered, but the major trends are difficult to defy! Unless I can transcend the chaos and possess strength surpassing the primordial world, no matter how hard I try, major events like the Great Calamity will still occur!"

Taihao sighed inwardly.

……

Ten yuan will pass quickly.

Since Taihao separated from Zulong and Hongjun in the ancestral land of the dragon race, the evil aura of the primordial world has become more and more intense day by day.

Taihao's previous efforts to ward off evil spirits still had some effect.

This can restore clarity to some areas.

But even if he and Little Taotie were to operate at full power and high load, relentlessly trying to neutralize the evil energy, it probably wouldn't have much effect.

Because there is just too much malevolent energy!

It spread throughout the entire primordial world!

Although Taihao was powerful, he was still insignificant compared to the entire prehistoric world.

"Boom!"

On this day, the entire prehistoric world was suddenly shaken.

On the western continent, a terrifying sword formation suddenly appeared.

"Hongjun, I have been defeated by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation today. Do you dare to break it?"

Rahu's voice echoed throughout the primordial world!

Hongjun knew in his heart that if he wanted to defeat Rahu and suppress the demonic path, he had to break through the formation.

Therefore, even with Qiankun and Yin Yang, three cultivators at the late Quasi-Saint stage or above were unable to break through it!

There's even the risk of falling!

"Hongjun, aren't you at the peak of Quasi-Saint? How come you're so much weaker than Rahu?"

Within the sword formation, the Yin-Yang Daoist laboriously summoned the innate supreme treasure, the Taiji Diagram, and asked Hongjun for guidance.

If it weren't for the Taiji Diagram, one of the three treasures of creation, protecting him, he would probably have already been turned into a pool of blood by now.

Even so, he couldn't maintain this indefinitely.

So I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Not only him, but also the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth was equally anxious.

"Hongjun! Don't you still have a supreme treasure, the Jade Disc of Creation? Why don't you take it out and deduce the flaws in this formation? Although your Pangu Banner is unparalleled in attack, Rahu's God-Slaying Spear is no less formidable! Hongjun, what are you still hesitating for! Do you want us both to die here?!"

"The Ancestor of Qiankun roared."

The situation of the Ancestor of Qiankun was similar to that of the Yin-Yang Daoist. If it weren't for the protection of the Qiankun Cauldron, a supreme innate treasure, he would probably have perished long ago.

On the other side, Hongjun gave a wry smile.

The Jade Disc of Creation?

He wants to use it too!

But the problem is, it's no longer in his hands, so what can he do?

We can only wait!

Wait for Taihao to make a move!
