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

Chapter 99 The Struggle for Destiny, Xihe's Key

In the blink of an eye, Taihao had returned from Penglai to Buzhou Mountain.

That is, the Taihao Realm Palace.

Before long, his three disciples, along with Houtu, arrived from other places.

At this moment, the four women who appeared before Taihao, apart from Xihe, the other three were all Hunyuan.

However, Xihe's cultivation level is not weak either.

Becoming the Empress of the Ten Yuan Society not only changed her temperament, but also her cultivation level, and the change was extremely obvious.

Needless to say, her cultivation level is already at the half-step Hunyuan stage.

He's just one step away from breaking through to the Hunyuan realm.

As for temperament

While they might resemble Di Jun in some ways, there are also clear differences. Di Jun is domineering and always acts as if he is the only one who can succeed under the will of Heaven.

Xihe would not do that, but she still maintained the majesty of ruling the world.

In addition, she was originally very serious, so much so that for a moment she was even more serious than Taihao, her master, as if Taihao had summoned them because something terrible was about to happen.

While this is indeed the case, it is far from being that severe.

At least for now, everything is still under Taihao's control.

"The Tenfold Cycle has passed. Do you have any doubts about your cultivation path?"

In the Taihao Palace, Taihao did not immediately reveal the conspiracy of the primordial saints, but instead asked his three disciples and Houtu.

"Master, how can I break through to the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm? I attained enlightenment more than ten eons ago, but I haven't sensed any breakthrough opportunity yet!"

Nuwa frowned, clearly troubled by this matter for a long time.

In fact, her strength has improved, and by quite a bit. Compared to when she first attained enlightenment, the gap is several times larger.

The question arose simply because the Primordial Chaos Realm is so difficult to break through.

After Nuwa finished asking the question, Huo Ling'er and Houtu also became fully focused, clearly taking the question very seriously.

"In the Primordial Chaos realm, the change in strength after each minor breakthrough is greater than the change after breaking through a major realm before reaching the Primordial Chaos realm! Therefore, breakthroughs are extremely difficult!"

As Taihao spoke, Nuwa's brows furrowed even more.

She thought that Taihao had no way to solve the problem either.

But in the next moment, Taihao changed the subject.

"But no matter how difficult it is, there's always a way!"

"May I ask, Master, what is the method?" Nuwa asked impatiently.

Although she has already attained the Primordial Chaos Realm, who wouldn't want to be even stronger? From the perspective of the Great Dao, the Primordial Chaos Realm is merely the starting point!

"Do you remember how you attained enlightenment in the Taihao Heaven?" Taihao asked.

"Proving the Dao?" Nuwa was taken aback at first, then her expression cleared. "It seems that Master bestowed the fortune of Taihao Heaven upon me. In that case, the method for breakthrough must be..."

"That's right! It's destiny, or you could say the power of the world!"

Taihao stopped keeping things mysterious and revealed the role of the breakthrough in the realm of destiny, as well as the conspiracy among the sages of the primordial world.

Then, just as he expected, neither Houtu nor his disciples showed any fear on their faces. Even Xihe, who had the lowest cultivation level, was the same.

Huo Ling'er and Nuwa both had a fierce fighting spirit in their eyes.

Both women had a stand with Lao Tzu when the world was divided.

Needless to say, Huo Ling'er felt very aggrieved about the former.

The latter is similar. In Nuwa's view, if Laozi hadn't blocked her way, she would have appeared directly at Buzhou Mountain, and the demon race wouldn't have dared to take a single step.

In that case, Fuxi would not have perished.

For a moment, the two women were filled with intense fighting spirit.

Houtu, on the other side, did not show any fear, unlike the two women.

"Senior, if Yuanshi and the others really come, Houtu will do everything in her power to keep them outside Taihao Heaven!"

Houtu's tone was firm, even somewhat resolute.

It seems that in her view, besides Hongjun, there are five Hunyuan in the Lesser Primordial World, while even if Taihao is included in the Taihao Realm, there are only four, so the situation is somewhat serious.

But Taihao laughed loudly, his tone relaxed.

"Why bother? Once I activate my grand formation, do you think they'll dare to come in?"

"Why didn't Master tell us sooner that he had a trump card? We worried for so long for nothing!"

Although Nuwa's tone was one of complaint, her eyes revealed a hint of joy.

According to Taihao's previous statement, the conspiracy among the saints of the Lesser Primordial World to cause trouble in the Taihao Realm was not only an opportunity for Laozi and others, but also for them!

If it operates well, it might even be possible to gain something from the primordial chaos.

Besides luck, there are other things.

such as

Are Yuanshi and Tongtian Shou two spiritual treasures?

Just then, Xihe bit her lower lip and spoke with a furrowed brow.

His tone sounded like a sigh.

"Master, I have not yet attained enlightenment, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help in this great battle..."

"No!"

Taihao smiled and shook his head, then said.

"On the contrary, you are the key to this struggle for destiny!"

"Me? But my disciple isn't even a Hunyuan!" Xihe was stunned.

"In fact, I could let you attain enlightenment right now. With the fortune of the Taihao Realm, it would be enough to create another Hunyuan realm. Do you know why I didn't do that?"

"I don't understand, but since Master has done this, there must be a deeper meaning behind it!" Xihe shook her head, neither puzzled nor asking.

It seems that, to her, everything Taihao did was perfectly reasonable.

Taihao would naturally provide an explanation for this.

"Because you are connected to the destiny of the Heavenly Court, the stronger the Heavenly Court, the stronger you will be after you attain enlightenment!"

"If you can become the Heavenly Emperor of both the Taihao Realm and the Lesser Primordial World, you can expect to reach the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm when you attain enlightenment!"

"Then how come you're not the key?"

Taihao said this.

As he said, a mid-stage Hunyuan expert was indeed the key to turning the tide of the battle.

You should know that when Laozi first attained enlightenment, Taihao was only at this level of cultivation.

But it could easily suppress Lao Tzu!

Even if I have made progress over the years and am much stronger than before, as long as he has not broken through, the outcome will not be good.

The Primordial Chaos Realm, each minor realm, represents a qualitative leap!

However, this is a huge test for Xihe.

Becoming the Taihao Heavenly Emperor is not difficult, but including the Lesser Primordial World within it is much more difficult. Not only must one cross two worlds, but one must also fight against the disciples of various sects in the Lesser Primordial World and the Heavenly Court there!

Its difficulty is even greater than that of Nuwa and her two daughters trying to stop five saints!

After all, Nuwa and the others also had the help of a great formation.

Xihe not only has to prevent the invasion of the Little Primordial World, but also has to launch a counterattack!

Despite the immense difficulty, Xi Fei showed no fear; on the contrary, her expression remained resolute, just as when she climbed Mount Buzhou.

"Your disciple will certainly not let you down, Master!"

Upon hearing Xihe's reply, Taihao nodded.

At the same time, he had a premonition.

He sensed that in this great battle, he and Hongjun would clash again, and it would be a fight to the death.

The battle must be decided!

But the battle between two powerful beings in the late stage of Hunyuan, or even close to the peak of Hunyuan, would surely cause an extraordinary commotion.

At that time, not only will time and space be disordered, but even fate and karma will be disrupted!

Even chaos can undergo some unknown change!

At that time, how long a battle would last and how it would turn out would be something Taihao would not be able to know.

No one could have predicted it.

In any case, the impact will be far-reaching!

Under these circumstances, the two worlds became connected, and the atmosphere became oppressive once again.

Is a new catastrophe about to begin?

Don't be fooled by the fact that only a little over ten eons have passed since the last great eon.

This great war, instigated by the saints of the Lesser Primordial World, could easily be called a great calamity, and in some ways, it might not even be entirely accurate.

Because the impending great war involves two chaotic worlds!

Not to mention all living beings in both realms, it also involves at least ten Hunyuan, two of whom are in the late Hunyuan stage, and can be called Heavenly Dao level powerhouses!

If a battle of this intensity is not considered a great calamity, then the ancient world has probably never experienced a great calamity in its entire history.

Since the beginning of the Dragon-Han Great Tribulation, Taihao has gained an increasingly profound understanding of the Great Tribulation.

That means one must reach the state of Hunyuan, or at the very least come close.

After all, in a battle of primordial chaos, even without a world, one can carve out a new world from chaos. Every battle can be described as the collapse of a world.

Therefore, from this perspective, before the creation of the world, there were probably countless calamities occurring in the chaos.

At the same time, the great calamity also affects many living beings, and only the Primordial Chaos can choose whether or not to be affected.

However, there are still differences in the time scale of different kalpas.

It may take hundreds or even thousands of cycles to end.

For example, the calamity of ferocious beasts.

This can be said to be the longest eon in the primordial world.

Short...

Like now!

Only a dozen or so eons have passed since the end of the previous great calamity, and an even greater great calamity is about to arrive! However, before this catastrophe, which may be even greater than the division of the primordial world into two, arrives, the countless beings in the Taihao Realm are completely unaware of it.

Until a bell rang.

"when!"

This was the sound of the Chaos Bell, ringing three times in succession, spreading to every corner of the Taihao Realm.

Instantly, all the cultivators in the Taihao Realm were startled by the sound of the bell and looked up at the sky.

Because the Chaos Bell rarely rings.

This is only the second time this has happened since the formation of the Taihao Realm.

The first time was naturally when the Taihao Realm was formed.

However, there were nine sounds that time, but only three this time.

Even so, it is enough to illustrate the seriousness of the matter, since this bell usually does not ring, and once it does, something big must have happened.
