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

Chapter 89 Building Momentum, Daoist Master Preaches

As for Taiyi...

Although he survived and retreated to the Lesser Primordial World with Hongjun, he was about to face the era of the Five Sages emerging in the Lesser Primordial World.

That is to say, all five disciples under Hongjun will attain enlightenment!

At that time, even if Taiyi becomes the Heavenly Emperor and the power of the demon race increases rather than decreases compared to before, how much say will he have in the face of the five saints?

Then there's no need to mention ruling the Lesser Primordial World.

But Xihe is different.

With Taihao's endorsement, no one in the entire Taihao realm could object, and Xihe certainly had the qualifications.

Not to mention, she can use this to prove herself!

"This is the Chaos Bell, one of the three treasures of creation! Now I bestow it upon you to suppress the Heavenly Court's fortune!" Taihao said to Xihe.

"Disciple thanks Master for bestowing this treasure!" Xihe solemnly accepted the Chaos Bell.

As soon as the Chaos Bell was in Xihe's hands, it made a soft sound without any struggle, clearly indicating that it had accepted Xihe.

Upon seeing this, Xihe's face lit up with joy.

Even someone as dignified as her would be overjoyed to receive a priceless treasure.

Before this, she was even a little apprehensive, worried that she would not be recognized by Chaos Bell.

However, it now seems that her worries were completely unnecessary.

Chaos Bell not only approved, but was even quite satisfied!

Then, Xihe's energy became connected with the Chaos Bell, and the restrictions were automatically refined.

In the blink of an eye, all forty-eight restrictions were refined. If Xihe's cultivation level hadn't been only that of a quasi-saint, the last restriction would probably have been automatically released as well.

This shows how satisfied the Chaos Clock was.

This is almost equivalent to the Chaos Bell being Xihe's innate treasure!

Then, Xihe was no longer uneasy, and her momentum suddenly surged, breaking through to the late stage of Quasi-Saint, and there was no sign of it stopping!

"It seems that Xihe is already prepared to become the Heavenly Emperor!"

Taihao nodded in satisfaction, then with a thought he triggered a strange phenomenon in the Taihao Realm, and slowly spoke, his voice resounding throughout the entire Taihao Realm!

"From this day forward, the goddess Xihe will become the Heavenly Emperor of this realm! She will issue my decree to rule over all the heavens of the Taihao Realm!"

When Taihao speaks, extraordinary phenomena will naturally occur.

Not only did golden clouds permeate the entire Taihao Realm, but an incomparably mysterious long river also appeared!

This river is not the River of Destiny, but the Dao River that Taihao created after observing the rivers of the Great Dao, using all his accumulated knowledge and insights!

It even contains a primordial treasure, the Jade Disc of Creation!

It's no exaggeration to say that it's a simplified version of the Great Dao and the Long River!

All beings in the Taihao Realm who can comprehend this river can cultivate through it. Whether it is laws, methods, or spells, as long as they can comprehend them, they can gain something!

Even cultivators at the Primordial Chaos level are no exception!

Unless someone's cultivation level is far higher than Taihao's, they can always gain something. But Taihao Realm is controlled by Taihao, so how could any cultivator within it possibly surpass Taihao? If such a being truly existed, he would have already transcended Taihao Realm, just as Taihao transcended the primordial world.

But that's obviously impossible.

However, on the other hand, Taihao did not create this river for "charity".

His goal was clear: to strengthen the power of the Taihao Realm!

At the same time, this will also strengthen control over all living beings in the Taihao Realm!

Taihao, who has no knowledge of the laws of destiny, could not possibly condense another river of destiny; firstly, he couldn't do it, and secondly, he was unwilling to.

The river of fate has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that it can strengthen control, but the disadvantage is that it can easily lock the upper limit of the beings in a world, and there are very few cultivators who can break their destiny.

This contradicts Taihao's purpose.

Taihao did not want to control all living beings, but rather to have them give back to him! How could they give back?

Let them cultivate the laws and create their own methods!

Because every time a new method is created, it will be recorded in the River of Dao, making the River of Dao grow stronger.

The rules go without saying.

Taihao, who wanted to control the three thousand laws, did not have enough energy on his own, but it would be much easier to have the beings of the Taihao Realm come.

Like the Dharma Gate, every time they learn a new law, it is recorded by the Dao River and then controlled by Taihao.

Even if the rules overlap, it doesn't matter.

After all, there is no upper limit to the laws; after reaching the Great Perfection, one can continue to advance! As long as even one cultivator can take this step, Taihao will definitely profit!

At the same time, Taihao can also use the Dao River's deductive abilities and its ability to assist cultivation to make cultivators in the Taihao Realm dependent on it.

The difference in cultivation speed between those who comprehend the Dao River and those who don't is like heaven and earth! Even for a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the difference between comprehending the Dao River and not is at least tenfold! However, only those who have cultivated to the Golden Immortal level have the possibility of comprehending this river.

It's just a possibility; whether it will actually happen depends on fate.

Only those who have reached the level of a Great Immortal can gain a clearer understanding of this.

This is similar to the Great Luo Immortal of the Primordial Era who jumped out of the River of Destiny.

If a cultivator below the Golden Immortal level is fortunate enough to comprehend this, it is equivalent to Taihao, who was half a step into the Primordial Chaos, glimpsing the Great Dao River!

This can absolutely be called an incredible stroke of luck!

At this moment, all beings in the Taihao Realm are fortunate enough to encounter this opportunity!

To be precise, only beings who have survived countless eons can encounter this. Even if these beings are not highly cultivated, simply surviving is a stroke of good fortune, as they possess a unique destiny.

It is absolutely worth cultivating.

So even for this reason, Taihao was willing to let Daohe fully manifest.

Not to mention, after the Dao River evolves, shouldn't all living beings know about it?

Just like the long river of fate, known to everyone throughout history.

Only in this way can there be deterrence.

On the other hand, Taihao was also using this to build momentum for Xihe!

When she became Empress, boundless golden clouds filled all the heavens and the vast Dao River reflected the Taihao Heaven and Earth, and the nine tolls of the Chaos Bell resounded throughout the primordial world.

Even after 100,000, 1 million, 10 million, or even longer years, it will be etched in the hearts of cultivators.

Because the scene was just too shocking!

In this way, all living beings will feel awe and reverence for the Heavenly Court, for Xihe, and for Taihao in the darkness!

Taihao had considerable experience in how to inspire awe in all living beings.

This insight was not gained through imagination, but rather accumulated little by little from the second batch of innate deities during the initial tribulation of the Dragon-Han era.

At that time, powerful beings like Di Jun and Tai Yi had not yet taken human form.

Taihao would go to the places where these innate deities had manifested to spread their teachings, or set up enlightenment steles, in order to gain merit from the Heavenly Dao.

Despite having ulterior motives, Taihao could not be too direct.

Wherever he went, he neither revealed his true form nor expressed his attitude. Instead, he completed all the steps while the innate deities trembled in fear.

Then, those gods, after experiencing the Enlightenment Stele, will definitely be filled with awe, and their emotions will rise and fall like a roller coaster.

This is a combination of kindness and severity; only in this way can respect be achieved.

Taihao, who was well-versed in this principle, made the Dao River manifest precisely to achieve this goal.

As for the outcome...

That is certainly quite effective.

Let alone those cultivators who don't even have Golden Immortal level, even Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of Earth Immortals and one of the best among Quasi-Saints, is now filled with awe.

"The Heavenly Emperor? Xihe has actually become the Heavenly Emperor of this realm!"

Zhen Yuanzi was filled with emotion.

Because when they were in Zixiao Palace, Zhen Yuanzi's seat was very close to the front, but Xihe's seat was only slightly above average.

After Hongjun finished his sermon, he successfully severed one of his corpses and became a Quasi-Saint, while Xihe was still lingering at the peak of the Great Luo realm.

The difference is so great that it is obvious.

But things changed after they left Zixiao Palace.

This was also the source of Zhen Yuanzi's deep emotion at this moment. Because he had a slight understanding of why Xihe's cultivation had broken through so quickly.

Because Xihe became Taihao's disciple!

"Taihao Tianzun... no, he should now be called Taihao Daozun!"

For no other reason than the Dao River reflecting the entire Taihao world at this moment, Taihao deserves the title of "Dao Venerable"!

This is a whole level higher than the Celestial Venerable!

This is also different from the way the Zixiao guests outside Nuwa's Heaven referred to Taihao as "Dao Ancestor" after Nuwa attained enlightenment.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi was filled with awe, his expression extremely serious.

He genuinely believed that Taihao should be the Dao Venerable, not the Heavenly Venerable.

And so it was; the name of Taihao had to be changed.

The title "Celestial Venerable" alone is insufficient to describe his immense power, after all, the heavens of this world were created by him!

Moreover, Taihao was not the only one who could be given the title of Heavenly Venerable.

And the Three Pure Ones!

These are the Moral Celestial Venerable, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable.

But can the Three Pure Ones be compared to Taihao?

Even their teacher Hongjun was slightly inferior to Taihao!

Therefore, it is most appropriate for Taihao to be the Dao Venerable!

"Taihao Daozun truly lives up to his reputation as an existence that rivals Hongjun Daozu. Even now, at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, I can still gain considerable insights from the Long River, and even have the illusion of facing the Great Dao itself!"

Zhen Yuanzi thought to himself with a deep sense of emotion.

Although most beings in the Taihao Realm could not see as clearly as Zhen Yuanzi, this did not prevent them from feeling awe.

This reverence was similar to their previous reverence for Hongjun and the Primordial Heavenly Dao! Through a mysterious connection, all cultivators and all living beings thoroughly remembered the name of this realm at this moment—the Taihao Realm!

And they cast aside their former identity as "primordial beings".

From then on, they will identify themselves as beings of the Taihao Realm!

At the same time, they also understood why they felt awe and what supreme being they revered.

The next moment, all the people knelt down and shouted in unison.

"We have met the Supreme Daoist Master Taihao! We thank the Supreme Daoist Master for manifesting the long river of Daoist energy and bestowing upon us this opportunity for creation!"

Thus, the name of Taihao Daozun is like that of Hongjun before the separation of the primordial world.

Everyone knows it!

At the same time, Taihao also revealed his true form, illuminating every corner of the Taihao Realm!

The next instant, Taihao slowly spoke.

"I feel that the Taihao Realm is newly born, and all things and beings are in dire need of revival. Therefore, I wish to expound the Great Dao ten thousand years from now, so that this realm may prosper. You are all welcome to attend!"

As soon as Taihao finished speaking, the crowd began to discuss excitedly.

Although they did not know what had happened in the primordial world or where the Taihao Realm came from, one thing was certain.

That means Taihao is at least on par with Hongjun!

Thinking of this, they became even more excited.

What?

On par with Dao Ancestor Hongjun?

Doesn't that mean...?

Can every living being enjoy the same treatment as Zixiaoke?

This alone is enough to make all cultivators forget Hongjun and from then on revere Taihao!

Not only that, they also quickly shouted again to thank Taihao for his actions.

Seeing this, Taihao remained silent.

Its form began to fade and disappeared in a very short time.

To inspire awe in all beings, one must not have too much contact with them.

That's enough.

As for why he preached ten thousand years later, it was because many things were not yet finished.

For example, mending the sky...

Although the Taihao Realm did not have a large hole like the one created after the collapse of Buzhou Mountain, it was so wide that there were quite a few small holes.

Repairing one individually is not difficult.

However, due to the large quantity, it takes a lot of time.

As a result, the task of mending the sky has not been completed even now.

Not to mention the rampant earth, wind, water, and fire.

What Taihao meant by assisting Nuwa in mending the sky was not repairing the defects, but using supreme magical power to envelop all living beings in the Taihao realm to protect them.
