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

Chapter 77 Taoism is established, Lao Tzu becomes a saint

"Fellow Daoist, please step aside now, and this old Daoist may withdraw!" Laozi said with a faint smile, looking as if victory was assured.

But Huo Ling'er didn't speak; instead, she glanced at his magical treasure. It was a magical treasure, not a supreme treasure.

Of the three clones, only two are supreme treasures, while the other is the "Red Flower" crutch, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

"Is this what Master was talking about?"

"If that's the case, then we'll take it no matter what!"

In the blink of an eye, a phantom image of a fairy gourd appeared behind Huo Ling'er, then quickly solidified!

This is a supreme innate treasure, the Chaos Immortal Gourd!

Along with it appeared a pure white lotus platform and a Fusang Fire Tree made entirely of divine fire!

This is Huo Ling'er's Dharma form!

It also represents her true form!

When the Dharma form appeared, the already raging true fire of the sun intensified by another three times! Its color also changed from crimson to golden!

The true fire not only seemed to have the power to burn away the heavens and earth, but it also seemed to be undergoing further transformation!

"Wasn't her Fire Law already at its peak? How can it still change? It's truly bizarre!"

Upon seeing this, Laozi's expression froze.

However, on the surface, he remained calm and showed no sign of backing down.

The next moment, he summoned the clone of the crooked figure, which unleashed a beam of Taiqing Immortal Light. He also summoned the clone of the Taiji Diagram, which erected a golden bridge that seemed to reach the Heavenly Dao and possessed the earth-shattering power to dissolve everything.

His true form was wielding the Xuanhuang Tower, intending to use the Xuanhuang Qi to leave Huo Ling'er with no way to escape!

This is the most powerful strike that Lao Tzu has unleashed with his divine power!

Even a cultivator at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm could defeat him!

As for Huo Ling'er...

She absolutely cannot withstand it!

I have absolute confidence!

But the next moment, an unexpected event occurred!

Lao Tzu's supernatural powers were immense, that much is beyond doubt.

It's impossible for Huo Ling'er to withstand it unscathed; she might even get injured, and seriously so.

Even so, Lao Tzu's pupils contracted, and he could no longer maintain his composure.

Because he discovered that although Huo Ling'er was using her supreme divine power to resist and defend, her true intention was to steal from his clone!

"This treasure is proof of our Three Pure Ones' shared destiny, and you dare to try and take it away!"

Huo Ling'er displayed her supernatural powers, uttering only four words.

"Why not?"

Besides, wasn't her purpose in stopping me precisely for this stunt?

In the next instant, the fiery tree, lotus platform, and fairy gourd simultaneously burst forth with brilliance!

Although the three have different origins, they have surprisingly similarities.

They are all spiritual roots, and in a sense, they all possess the power to erase everything!

Whether it's the raging true fire of the Fusang Fire Tree, the purifying power of the Pure World White Lotus, or the Chaos Immortal Gourd that absorbs and refines everything, it's all the same!

The three elements complement each other and are interconnected. With the addition of the Fire Law, which has exceeded perfection, the combined effect is so powerful that it seems to have the power to destroy the world!

It means literally, devastating!

In an instant, the world was shaken!

More importantly, Huo Ling'er was not afraid of injuries at all. She could endure the pain in order to shatter one of Laozi's clones and then seize the crutch that clone had summoned!

and

It worked!

At this moment, Lao Tzu could no longer maintain his composure and inaction, and his face was filled with anger.

"Fellow Daoist! Don't you think this is a bit excessive?"

"Where did you go?"

While putting the crutch into the magic gourd, Huo Ling'er regulated her disordered magical power.

Although she managed to snatch the "red flower," she also suffered considerable injuries as a result.

In comparison, Lao Tzu's injuries were much less severe.

Firstly, he had nothing to steal, and secondly, he had the Xuanhuang Pagoda, the number one defensive treasure in the primordial world, protecting him.

Fortunately, Huo Ling'er's Dao foundation was not damaged.

Thanks to a law that is slightly stronger than perfection, Huo Ling'er, if she were missing one more supreme treasure, could fight Laozi to a standstill.

If she hadn't been so focused on bending over, her injuries wouldn't have been much worse than mine.

But at this moment, Lao Tzu's heartache was clearly much greater.

The Three Pure Ones had just separated when the Guai Bian sword was seized.

The saying, "Red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves, the Three Pure Ones are originally one family," is it not destined to become a delusion?

After all, the safflower is gone, so how can we still say we were originally one family?

Therefore, no matter how minor the physical injury is, it cannot erase the emotional wound! And no matter how badly Huo Ling'er is injured, with his strength, it is impossible for him to take back Guai Bian.

Because this is Mount Buzhou!

It is Taihao's sacred site!

If Huo Ling'er were to truly be in danger, would Taihao stand idly by?

But he couldn't just ignore it, because once word got out that he had won, all the beings in the primordial world would accept that he had lost.

Thinking about this, Lao Tzu felt a surge of frustration.

So much so that when he spoke again, his tone was much more threatening.

"Fellow Daoist! The Flat-Shouldered Brush is a treasure used by the Three Pure Ones to prove their worth. If you lack a spiritual treasure, this old Daoist can exchange it for another! But if you insist on refusing, then today's matter will likely not end well, and the Three Pure Ones will pursue this matter to the end!"

"The Three Pure Ones? Didn't you already split up?"

Huo Ling'er spoke softly, not intimidated by the threat at all.

Besides, she doesn't need any other magical treasures.

In short, Huo Ling'er expressed her attitude.

Although I am seriously injured and will be at a great disadvantage if we fight again, it will all be worth it as long as I can get my hands on the crutch.

As for the cause and effect...

Leave it alone!

If it really exists, then burn it with real fire!

Under these circumstances, Lao Tzu's face turned pale and then red.

The problem is that he can't reason with people.

In this prehistoric world, there is no reasoning, only strength matters. Who told him to be less skilled?

Furthermore, if we're really talking about logic, his trip to the human race to establish a religion was tantamount to seizing the human race's fortune. Taihao wouldn't allow it, Nuwa wouldn't agree, so there's no reason for him to do it.

"In that case, even if I have to forgo this opportunity, I will retrieve the crutch today!"

As he spoke, Laozi's expression became resolute, and a purple aura flickered between his brows.

He wants to establish a religion! To prove his faith! To become a saint!

Then, using the power of Hunyuan, he suppressed Huo Ling'er!

Lao Tzu insisted on going to the human tribe because he sensed an opportunity there.

An opportunity that even those who attain sainthood cannot ignore!

So, even though he already knew how to attain enlightenment, he still wanted to visit the human tribes.

He even had a premonition that it would be best to establish a religion related to the human race!

But at this moment, he had to change his mind.

Not only was the road to the human tribe blocked, but a top-grade innate spiritual treasure was also lost!

If it were a regular top-grade spiritual treasure, losing it wouldn't be a big deal; at most, it would just hurt a little.

But bending is different!

If even this treasure, which proves the unity of the Three Pure Ones, is lost, wouldn't the Three Pure Ones, who have already separated, be even less connected?

Moreover, with the loss of the crooked figure, although they haven't lost yet, it's practically a defeat.

Lao Tzu wasn't as shameless as Yuan Shi, but he wasn't completely indifferent either.

After all, he represents not only himself, but also the Xuanmen (mystical sect)!

It's Hongjun!

So even if it means giving up the opportunity to become human, I will still take back the crooked man! How will I do that?

Establish a religion! Promise!

As soon as this thought arose, the primordial purple energy between Lao Tzu's brows began to pulsate.

In the next instant, the sky rose and the clouds surged, and boundless clouds began to gather, gradually turning golden.

The sudden change startled Huo Ling'er.

Before she could even process what had happened, Lao Tzu's voice came from ahead.

"By the Heavenly Dao above, I am Taiqing Laozi, the primordial spirit of Pangu!"

"Now, feeling that the methods of cultivation for all living beings in the primordial world are incomplete, I wish to establish a sect based on the Golden Elixir Dao, and set up a new realm before the Earth Immortal, named 'Human Immortal'! In this way, I will educate and enlighten all living beings!"

"And take the innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram, as the treasure to suppress the fate of the sect!" The moment Lao Tzu finished speaking, the clouds that had already begun to gather in the sky instantly transformed into golden clouds of merit!

Boundless!

The scene that followed was a combination of Nuwa creating humans from clay and her enlightenment.

Because Nuwa did not achieve sainthood through merit, the descent of merit and the extraordinary phenomenon of attaining the primordial state are separate.

But at this moment, Lao Tzu is clearly different!

It turns out that the merit generated from establishing the religion is used to directly open the door to the Primordial Chaos Realm!

He wants to achieve sainthood on the spot through this!

As boundless merit descended in the form of golden light, the Tai Chi diagram suddenly expanded, transforming into a scroll encompassing heaven and earth, and connecting a golden bridge.

This bridge connects the Heavenly Dao above with the primordial purple energy within Lao Tzu's Daoist body below. And in an instant, it links the two together!

At this moment, Lao Tzu slowly opened his mouth, his voice seemingly capable of resounding throughout the primordial world!

"Taoism, establish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Tzu's aura began to rise steadily.

In the blink of an eye, he broke through from the late stage of Quasi-Saint to the peak of Quasi-Saint!

But this is just the beginning!

Lao Tzu effortlessly became a half-step Hunyuan, further enhancing his strength.

When all his merits were absorbed by the Primordial Purple Qi, his realm suddenly reached the early stage of Hunyuan, and an incomparably powerful pressure suddenly erupted from his body!

Lao Tzu has attained enlightenment!
