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

Chapter 54 The Chaos Immortal Gourd: The Initial Test?

"The Nine-Nine Annihilation Thunder Tribulation, the Nine-Nine Purple Heaven Thunder Tribulation, and beyond that, it must be the Chaos Thunder Tribulation, right?"

While enduring the lightning tribulation, Taihao also managed to observe the fusion process of the gourd with ease.

In fact, it's not that the Heavenly Dao cannot condense stronger lightning tribulations; the Chaos Lightning Tribulation can pose a threat to the Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth, but it cannot condense in the Primordial World.

Why?

Because the power of this lightning tribulation is too astonishing, even if it can destroy the Dharma form once it strikes down, the primordial world will suffer immense damage.

Therefore, it's not that Heaven cannot, but that it dares not!

As the divine thunder was about to fall completely, Taihao's focus on the gourd was also withdrawn.

After ten thousand years, the seven gourds finally merged into one.

Only one last step is needed to complete the process!

Then, without any hesitation, Taihao directly offered up the gourd and let it withstand the final lightning tribulation, making it even more flawless!

"Prices are rising! They're rising! They're rising!"

Taihao spoke three times in succession, and the gourd responded by growing larger. In an instant, it transformed into a Dharma form, with a flowing Daoist aura, as if it had the power to devour the heavens!

"boom!"

The next instant, the tribulation clouds gathered their power and suddenly unleashed a divine lightning bolt capable of destroying the world!

Its power is almost comparable to a saint's full-force strike!

But this divine lightning bolt, under Taihao's control, was absorbed into the gourd!

Then, as the gourd path flowed, faint Dao patterns appeared, and the final restriction quietly formed after absorbing the divine lightning.

"Thus, the treasure is complete!"

Taihao laughed loudly, and the Dharma image and the tribulation clouds disappeared at the same time, along with the gourd phantom that was as big as the sky.

"From now on, you will be the Chaos Immortal Gourd!"

"A Primordial Treasure! The Chaos Immortal Gourd!"

Just after Taihao finished speaking, the gourd he was holding in his palm twitched slightly, radiating joy, clearly indicating that he was very satisfied with the name.

Taihao was also very satisfied, but only with the treasure itself.

Although he was not lacking in treasures, the difference between crafting a treasure by hand and obtaining one through chance was vast!

Moreover, he can use this opportunity to accumulate some experience for the future integration of the Supreme Lotus Platform.

It is worth mentioning that because the Chaos Immortal Gourd was personally refined by Taihao, even if he did not refine it, he could still unleash the full power of the Chaos Immortal Gourd, rendering the forty-nine restrictions of the treasure useless!

However, Taihao did not intend to keep this precious gourd for himself, but rather to return it to his eldest disciple, Huo Ling'er.

After all, this gourd was originally his disciple's opportunity. Not only could he not use it, but it was also somewhat unreasonable for him to take his disciple's opportunity.

Then she thought again that the Three Pure Ones and the others all had supreme treasures. If Huo Ling'er didn't have any, how could she compete with them?

At the same level, without a supreme treasure, one is naturally at a disadvantage.

"Thinking about it this way, even Nuwa must have possessed a supreme treasure."

"But it doesn't matter, I have plenty of treasures anyway!"

"And before long, I will possess two more lotus platforms of supreme treasure level!"

Thinking it over, Taihao focused his mind on the Daoist temple.

At this moment, two lotus platforms there are about to be ascended!

In fact, since Taihao took human form, he has never lacked any innate treasures.

One reason for this is that, in addition to his extraordinary deductive abilities, he is also related to the fact that he is a direct descendant of Pangu.

Born with great merit, having taken human form early, and knowing the history of the primordial world, it's no wonder that finding a primordial treasure would be difficult.

"The Primordial Measuring Ruler is my innate treasure and the key to expanding the Tai Xuan Heaven. It can be said to be my treasure for attaining enlightenment, so under no circumstances can this treasure of merit be lost!"

"Not only that, I'd better find a way to upgrade it! But there's no rush for now!"

"The Jade Disc of Creation and the Supreme Heavenly Dao have gradually merged into one, inseparable and cannot be separated! Otherwise, my speed of comprehending the laws will decrease!"

"And like the Measuring Ruler, it would be best if it could also advance! And after it advances, not only will its deductive abilities become stronger, but the level of the Tai Xuan Heaven will also rise accordingly!"

After retrieving the Chaos Immortal Gourd, Taihao took stock of the treasure's uses.

Clearly, the Primordial Measuring Ruler and the Jade Disc of Creation are locked, belonging to the kind that absolutely cannot be lost.

Then there's the Chaos Pearl.

The importance of this treasure is self-evident.

It not only envelops the Tai Xuan Heaven, but it is also the one among Tai Hao's most precious treasures that is relatively easy to upgrade.

Theoretically, all that's needed is to collect the other fragments.

Although the same applies to the Jade Disc of Creation, we must also consider who has the fragments, which makes the difficulty even more apparent.

As for the advancement of the measuring ruler...

To this day, Taihao still has no clue!

"Therefore, if I were to truly give the supreme treasure to Nuwa, I would only have the choice between the Chaos Bell and the Qiankun Cauldron!"

"That makes things much simpler."

The Chaos Bell is a supreme treasure created at the beginning of time. Unless it is ordained by Heaven, it cannot be mastered by ordinary cultivators. Even if one forcibly masters it, one cannot unleash its full power.

The Qiankun Cauldron doesn't have this problem.

"Moreover, in the history of the primordial world, Nuwa used the Qiankun Cauldron to refine the Sky-Mending Stone, so perhaps this treasure should have belonged to her in the first place..."

"Adding what I gained in the Thirty-Three Heavens, did I actually seize every opportunity she would have before I attained enlightenment?"

"Is fate playing tricks on us?"

Taihao shook his head and couldn't help but chuckle.

Because what Nuwa cultivated was precisely the law of creation!

Even without this connection, Taihao would still choose a treasure for Nuwa.

This action was not to avoid falling behind Hongjun, but because as his master, he could not be stingy.

Besides, he doesn't lack such a mere treasure!

Before he knew it, Taihao had already appeared near the dojo.

Then his mind naturally drifted into the two spiritual pools.

One side is the Three Lights Divine Water Pool, and the other side is the Acquired Merit Pool!

Taihao poured heavenly treasures and acquired merits into the two spiritual pools respectively, in quantities that were unimaginable; the word "massive" might only be a fraction of what was left.

The result was that the lotus pedestals in both spiritual pools grew very well.

"Perhaps in less than a full epoch, they will transform! Advancing from rank 12 to rank 24!"

This means that Taihao will obtain two supreme treasures from the Spirit Pool!

This also means that the plan for the Five Treasures Lotus Platform needs to be put on the agenda!

"A sea of ​​blood, the West, and the Three Pure Ones!"

"I now have a general idea of ​​the whereabouts of the three lotus platforms; I am simply waiting for the right opportunity to retrieve them one by one!"

Just as he was thinking this, Taihao raised an eyebrow, suddenly looking somewhat surprised.

At this moment, it seems there are cultivators at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, preparing to visit the Tai Xuan Sect.

It's normal for cultivators to come and visit. Even though the vast majority of Zixiao guests choose not to leave Zixiao Palace for the time being, many cultivators will still choose to come and try their luck ten thousand years later.

Even if Taihao didn't consider this, he could still guess it himself.

What truly surprised him was that the cultivator who appeared outside the mountain gate was actually...

Ancestral Witches!

"Is it because of Pangu's true form? It seems there are other reasons as well?"

After some calculation, Taihao discovered that Houtu was also among them.

Upon further calculation, he discovered two more people who surprised him even more.

"Xihe? Changxi? Aren't these the primordial deities of the Taiyin Star? Why didn't they choose to stay in Zixiao Palace?"

"In that case, I will grant you this opportunity. Whether you can seize it depends on your own understanding and destiny!"

In the blink of an eye, Taihao returned from Taixuan Heaven to Buzhou Mountain, which was his Daoist temple on Buzhou Mountain.

Too lazy to come up with a new name, Taihao casually named the temple Taixuan Palace.

This is also the place that the ancestral witches and the two goddesses of the moon plan to visit.

Besides them, there were others who, like them, had to climb up Buzhou Mountain step by step again. These were Nuwa and Fuxi, whom she also brought along.

Nuwa, upon returning to Buzhou Mountain from Zixiao Palace, immediately sensed the location of Taixuan Palace. She didn't even bother to return to her own cave dwelling and rushed excitedly towards Taixuan Palace.

Then she was dumbfounded.

"Why do I have to undergo the same trials as them when I return to the sect founded by my own master? Something must be wrong!"

Nuwa looked aggrieved, and the "they" she was referring to were the group of Ancestral Witches.

Because the oppressive power of Mount Buzhou still lingers, one cannot fly upwards from the foot of the mountain; one can only walk, even for quasi-saints.

Therefore, Nuwa, like the Ancestral Witches, had to walk step by step from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside in order to enter the Tai Xuan Palace.

However, their approach to climbing the mountain differs fundamentally from that of Taihao.

When Taihao climbed the mountain, the power and pressure of Buzhou Mountain far surpassed that of today, and at that time Buzhou Mountain was unclaimed and few living beings were born.

But things are different now. The oppressive power of Buzhou Mountain has greatly diminished, and Taihao has taken over its domain. Furthermore, 129,600 stone steps have been erected on the road leading to Taixuan Palace, with a stone tablet standing on every 10,800 steps, for a total of twelve stone tablets.

Each stone tablet is a monument to enlightenment.

This was reforged by Taihao using the Qiankun Cauldron after he broke through to the Hunyuan realm. After being reversed to the Xiantian realm, it is not only more profound, but also of a higher grade.

Therefore, they are not acquired spiritual treasures, but innate spiritual treasures!

Furthermore, the higher the level, the more restrictions the stone tablet possesses.

The last stone tablet before the Tai Xuan Palace has forty-eight restrictions, and its grade is as high as a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!

Therefore, the higher you climb, the more your spirit and energy will transform, and the more unimaginable your cultivation insights will become!

But because of the oppressive aura, this is both an opportunity and a test!

"An entry-level test?!"

Having just passed the first stone tablet, Xihe suddenly understood, her eyes filled with unwavering determination, and she set her sights on the last stone tablet.

No matter what, she was determined to climb up!

With a cultivation level at the peak of the Great Luo realm, not even reaching the Quasi-Saint realm!

At this moment, my resolve to uphold righteousness and morality remains firm.

In terms of talent, Xihe was far inferior to Nuwa, as was her comprehension, not to mention her luck in creation, which was several times worse.

In terms of background, she was far weaker than Huo Ling'er.

The two are not even in the same league.

Even compared to other Zixiao guests, her background and talent can only be described as slightly above average.

Therefore, after Hongjun finished his sermon, she was unable to sever her three corpses and break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, remaining stuck at the peak of the Great Luo realm.

But her ambition was higher than that of Nuwa and Huo Ling'er.

His resolve was unwavering.

If the reason you couldn't break through before was because you didn't have enough talent...

Even if she had that talent, Xihe wouldn't want to sever her corpse now.

Because if she wants to become a disciple of a powerful figure in the Tai Xuan Palace, she must maintain the purity of her cultivation method.

Even if that powerful being didn't mind, she would still feel it wasn't quite perfect.

Therefore, the path of slaying corpses must never be followed!

She would climb these stone steps one by one!
