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

Chapter 72 Taihao Dao Ancestor, Yuanshi is Jealous

Taihaotian.

Taihao stopped what he was doing, and was very pleased.

"Relying on the primordial wilderness, creating a new world, the visualization technique is perfected!"

"Although it is not a true method of proving the Dao through force, it is undoubtedly stronger than other methods of proving the Dao."

"Excellent! Nuwa is ready to graduate!"

Thinking this, Taihao continued to focus his mind on deducing the Primordial Purple Qi and urging the lotus platform to transform.

Before long, he will be able to acquire two supreme treasure-level lotus platforms!

Taihao remained calm.

It would be impossible for other cultivators in the primordial world.

At this moment, Hongjun frowned, the Western duo wailed, and the Three Pure Ones' faces turned ashen.

It took a long silence for the three of them to recover from this state.

Finally, it was Yuanshi who spoke first.

"A fluctuation of purple energy emanates from her; Nuwa did not become a saint! She only attained the Primordial Chaos realm! If that's the case, it's not a big deal. Without sainthood, one will eventually perish!"

"Second Brother, it's not as simple as you say. Even if we attain sainthood, Hunyuan is not so easy to deal with!" Tongtian said, clearly disagreeing.

Yuanshi knew, of course, that Hunyuan was not easy to deal with, and what he said was actually an expression of his dissatisfaction.

He originally thought that even if he didn't get support, he wouldn't be refuted, but Tongtian actually undermined him!

This made Yuan Shi lose face, so he retorted.

"Third brother! What I said is not wrong. Hunyuan, the primordial spirit cannot be entrusted to the Heavenly Dao! Every injury reduces the strength. If I become a saint, I will be immortal! Even if I self-destruct, my strength will be restored to its original state! Based on this alone, how can Hunyuan compare to a saint?"

"Second Brother, is it something to brag about to defeat your opponent by self-destructing?" Tongtian protested.

"What do you mean?" Yuan Shi's anger gradually rose.

The atmosphere between the two became extremely tense.

Just then, Lao Tzu spoke.

"Stop arguing! Whether we become sages or primordial beings, our choice will ultimately lead us to sainthood! We'll know the answers to these questions after we attain enlightenment!"

Then, Lao Tzu changed the subject.

"Nuwa is going to preach the Great Dao of Creation at the Nuwa Heaven. Should we go or not?"

"Of course we won't go! She's not from the same sect as us, and her methods of attaining enlightenment are completely different. What can we learn from her?" Yuanshi said matter-of-factly.

"Second Brother, you are mistaken! The Great Way may take many paths, but the destination is the same. Even if the methods are different, they still have much reference value!" Tongtian once again expressed his different opinion.

This infuriated Yuanshi even more. He glared at Tongtian, wishing he could ask him which side he was on.

But Tongtian didn't really have any other thoughts; he just felt that it was worth visiting Nuwa Palace.

"Hmph! Since you want to go, then go by yourself! I won't accompany you!"

Yuanshi simply turned and left, even changing the way he was addressed.

"Alas! In that case, Third Brother, you should represent the Three Pure Ones to congratulate Nuwa on her attainment of enlightenment!" Laozi sighed.

"Elder brother, aren't you going either?"

"It's not that I'm unwilling, but that I'm truly unable!"

After saying that, Lao Tzu also left the spot.

There are many reasons why Laozi cannot go. Besides considering Yuanshi's feelings, it is also because he is the chief disciple of Xuanmen!

If it were Taihao, it would be fine, since he was a generation ahead of him.

But Nuwa is absolutely out of the question!

Because this would damage the prestige of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Laozi, as the chief disciple of the Xuanmen, had to take this factor into account.

Time flies, and ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, in the Chaotic Nuwa Heaven, many cultivators gathered.

These cultivators largely overlap with those who went to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao countless times before.

However, their feelings were more complicated this time compared to before.

Besides the awe for the Primordial Chaos Realm experts, there is also...

acid.

It's extremely sour.

As fellow guests of Zixiao, many of them haven't even reached the level of Quasi-Saints, so how did Nuwa achieve enlightenment?

Or is it that compared to Taihao Tianzun, Hongjun's ability to preach was simply inferior?

At this moment, more than one Zixiao Guest had this thought.

They couldn't help but compare Nuwa to the Three Pure Ones, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt it was true.

Why?

Since the Three Pure Ones are the true descendants of Pangu, their lineage is clearly superior to that of Nuwa, so logically they should have been the first to attain enlightenment.

But that's not the case.

Nuwa preceded the Three Pure Ones and became the third Primordial Chaos Power in the world!

"Could it be because of the Primordial Purple Qi?"

Some speculated, but this was quickly refuted.

"The Three Pure Ones also possess purple aura, so why haven't we seen them attain enlightenment?"

"Those two Westerners have it too!"

"Red clouds too!"

These words made Hongyun somewhat embarrassed.

Strangely enough, while others who obtained the purple energy experienced a significant increase in their cultivation speed and comprehension ability, he made little progress.

While it wasn't completely ineffective, it wasn't much better either, so even now, he's only at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

Meanwhile, Zixiaoke's discussion did not stop.

After much deliberation, the Zixiao guests discovered that the biggest difference between Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones lay in their different sects.

Therefore, the decisive factor should be the preaching skills of Taihao and Hongjun.

And unsurprisingly, Taihao is higher than Hongjun!

Otherwise, why would Nuwa, whose lineage was below the Three Pure Ones, attain enlightenment before them?

After some discussion, they became even more certain that Taihao and Hongjun had different levels of preaching ability.

"Then there's the Enlightenment Stele. Before going to Zixiao Palace, we even thought it was cast by the Heavenly Dao, but it actually came from Taihao Tianzun! If he didn't have a more thorough understanding of the Dao, how could we have had such a misconception?"

"Fellow Daoist is absolutely right! I'm still gaining some insights from that Enlightenment Stele when I go to contemplate it!"

"Alas, if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have been greedy for that opportunity. I should have gone directly to Buzhou Mountain to listen to Taihao Tianzun preach. Perhaps I would have gained more."

"Yes! We should go and listen to the sermons of Taihao Tianzun!"

Many Zixiao guests began to sigh and lament their choices, with some even calling themselves stupid.

At this moment, another cultivator spoke, his tone melancholy.

"The Celestial Venerable's Daoist temple is located on Mount Buzhou! There seem to be stone steps there now that lead directly to the Celestial Venerable's Daoist temple!"

"In that case, after this is over, wouldn't we be able to go and seek opportunities?" one cultivator chimed in, his face beaming with excitement.

But his enthusiasm was quickly dampened.

"Seeking an opportunity? Do you know how terrifying the pressure from Mount Buzhou is?"

"However, the opportunities at the top are real! I once climbed the stone steps, and it seems that every 10,800 steps there is a Primordial Spiritual Treasure-level Enlightenment Stele, with the grade increasing the higher you go! And the more insights you can gain!"

"Is this really true?"

"Of course! Otherwise, how could I be about to break through to the Quasi-Saint level?"

"In that case, no matter how powerful Mount Buzhou's oppressive aura is, we must climb it at least once!"

"Then I must remind you, when I went there, I was at the peak of the Great Luo realm, but I could only see five pieces at most! Going now wouldn't be much better!"

"It doesn't matter, we'll take whatever we can get!"

Before Nuwa opened the Heavenly Palace, through discussion, many cultivators made up their minds to try their luck at Buzhou Mountain after Nuwa preached.

Even innate great gods like Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun had such thoughts, even though they were already quasi-saints!

It was in this situation that someone asked a question.

"Gentlemen, back in the Zixiao Palace, we received the Sage's favor and thus collectively called him 'the Ancestor of the Dao.' Now, it seems that this title is a bit... excessive?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Who can be called the patriarch of Taoism?

Nature is one path, and only those who understand it most deeply are qualified to follow it!

But if we acknowledge Hongjun as the Dao Ancestor now, what about Taihao?

This is why the group of Zixiao guests remained silent.

Finally, a smooth-talking cultivator stepped in to smooth things over, laughing as he spoke.

"Taihao Tianzun, naturally... is also the Dao Ancestor!"

Upon hearing this, the guests of Zixiao looked at each other in bewilderment.

Was he also the Dao Ancestor?

Taihao's cultivation level and identity are both beyond question; he deserves this title.

The problem is, how can there be two Dao Ancestors in one world?

Tied for first place?

But no one raised any objections, because it would be inappropriate to question anything, so they simply acquiesced.

"Hmm... After this, I'll go to the Daoist temple of Taihao to seek opportunities!"

"Let's go together!"

Suddenly, Taihao's reputation was elevated, and this happened completely unintentionally, all because of Nuwa's enlightenment!

As time went by, more and more powerful figures arrived.

There was Tongtian, who had an arrogant expression and never spoke to anyone.

There were also powerful figures from the Heavenly Court, including demon generals and demon saints, led by Di Jun. Fu Xi, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng also came, making quite a grand entrance and stealing the spotlight.

Even the Western deities Jieyin and Zhunti came.
