Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 20: The Opportunity for Enlightenment, Luo Lian Battles the Cultivators, Di Qing Becomes Suspicious, Luo Lian Seems to Be Acting

"You deserve to die!" Many elders were furious and immediately attacked Luo Lian.

Despite the brutal attack, Luo Lian remained calm, fully aware that he couldn't escape the siege of so many ancestors, and faced death with equanimity. After all, he was just an avatar; his demise was simply a matter of fate.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Lian was surrounded and killed by numerous patriarchs. But before he died, Luo Lian said, "My avatar has perished. But my true self should also have the opportunity to attain enlightenment. Once I achieve the Primordial Chaos Realm, I will come back and have a proper chat with you all."

After saying this, Luo Lian's avatar disintegrated and turned into ashes, as if he had never been there.

The many patriarchs exchanged glances, each sensing the other's anger. Yet, beneath the anger, an infinite desire also rose within them.

In an instant, many patriarchs sprang into action, eager to find this great opportunity to achieve Hunyuan (Primordial Chaos).

Especially after this news spread, more cultivators joined the group. Both the scaled and avian races, faced with such a tempting path to enlightenment, abandoned many grudges and joined in.

Countless cultivators sought their destiny. Relying on the information brought by Ancestor Qingmu, they headed towards that place of opportunity.

The vast wilderness was thrown into turmoil by the exposure of Luo Lian.

Numerous ancestors and countless cultivators, including powerful figures from both the bird and scaled-armor races, flocked to the legendary land of opportunity, vying for the chance to attain enlightenment.

Di Qing naturally knew about this widely publicized news. But Di Qing felt increasingly uneasy.

Just as Di Qing was beginning to have doubts, Xuan Ming suddenly interrupted him, saying, "Di Qing, the Creation Immortal Venerable and the Life Immortal Venerable have arrived. They seem to be..."

"The Creation Immortal Venerable and the Life Immortal Venerable. Why are they here?" Di Qing asked curiously, but he welcomed the two Immortal Venerables. One was taking him to visit many patriarchs to discuss the Dao, and the other was perfecting his title as an Immortal Ancestor.

Emperor Qing instructed Xuan Ming to bring the two cultivators to him in a courteous manner. Emperor Qing himself then traveled to a city in the central part of Buzhou.

This city was specially crafted by Emperor Qing to receive visitors. Since many cultivators find it difficult to enter the depths of Buzhou, a city was built in the middle of Buzhou to make it easier for those who do enter.

Upon seeing the Immortal Venerable of Life and the Immortal Venerable of Creation, as well as their disciples, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, the Immortal Venerable of Creation recounted to Di Qing everything that had recently occurred in Kunlun.

After listening, Di Qing's eyes flickered: "As expected, behind all the chaos lies Luo Lian's doing. However, Luo Lian's exposure this time involves a great opportunity to achieve the Primordial Chaos Realm. Why aren't you seeking this opportunity? What are you doing here?"

"Young friend Di Qing, aren't you tempted? That's a golden opportunity to achieve Hunyuan!" asked the Creation Immortal Venerable.

"It would be a lie to say I'm not tempted. But I'm more inclined to believe that things aren't that simple." Di Qing hesitated slightly. He harbored immense suspicion towards Luo Lian, distrusting and doubting everything Luo Lian did. Even this great opportunity to achieve Hunyuan was something Di Qing approached with skepticism.

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Venerable of Life's eyes flickered: "Young friend Di Qing, do you mean that this opportunity for enlightenment might also be part of Luo Lian's scheme? Or perhaps it's a lie?"

"What is false can never become true, and what is true can never become false. If I were Luo Lian, and I wanted to scheme something, then this opportunity would most likely be real. But the more precious something is, the deeper the hidden secrets behind it. So this opportunity may be real, but behind the opportunity may be a trap," Di Qing said solemnly.

The Immortal Venerable of Life and the Immortal Venerable of Creation remained silent, unsure how to respond. Di Qing could also see their hesitation: "Regardless, seeing is believing. You two seniors can go and see for yourselves to verify the truth. But please be careful!"

The Immortal Venerable of Life and the Immortal Venerable of Creation nodded, deciding to make the trip. Ultimately, the opportunity to attain enlightenment was simply too tempting.

Of course, this opportunity may be real or it may be fake.

After the Immortal Venerable of Life and the Immortal Venerable of Creation left, Xuanming and Houtu looked at Di Qing.

Di Qing waved his hand dismissively: "Let's wait and see about this for now. However, let's have my elder brother and the others finish their cultivation first. If anything unexpected happens, we Ancestral Witches can intervene at any time."

After Di Qing gave the order, Xuan Ming and the others began to carry it out.

In the far north, there is a vast glacier.

Originally, this glacier was covered by endless ice and snow. But now, with the arrival of many cultivators, this place has become a battlefield, which has completely blown away the ice and snow, exposing the place of enlightenment opportunity deep within the glacier.

This place of opportunity is like the stamen of a flower, surrounded by numerous glaciers that serve as its petals.

Enveloped by endless glaciers, this place is extremely cold. Many cultivators find it difficult to approach.

After dispelling the chilling aura, the numerous patriarchs stormed into the place of opportunity. They saw many demonic cultivators there, and also Luo Lian, who was frantically destroying a large formation.

"Luo Lian..." The elders shouted, their murderous intent instantly unleashed as they looked at Luo Lian before them.

Enraged by Luo Lian's blatant manipulation, many of their elders immediately charged out, ready to kill Luo Lian before them.

Luo Lian turned over and stared intently, a hint of panic in his expression: "You guys came really fast. Damn it, I was just a little bit away from breaking this formation and obtaining the most core method of attaining enlightenment inside."

"Hmph... You have no chance. You angered us, fooled the scaled creatures and birds, and even plotted against countless cultivators in the prehistoric world. You deserve to die." The Yin Yang Ancestor roared, exchanged glances with the other ancestors, and without thinking, charged towards Luo Lian.

Zu Long and Phoenix Ancestor also arrived, and without a second thought, they attacked Luo Lian. After all, they were furious at being fooled for so long.

In an instant, numerous patriarchs unleashed their Great Dao, manifesting endless slaughter. The many demonic cultivators present fought desperately to resist, and Luo Hou also stirred up demonic energy, his God-Slaying Spear surging and transforming into endless spear light.

However, under such spear light and such demonic energy, it was ultimately difficult to withstand the encirclement and attack of many patriarchs.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A thunderous roar, shattering glaciers, and endless streams of light from the Great Road shattered the heavens and disrupted the ice and snow that had covered the north for countless years.

Then, amidst the endless ice and snow, countless demonic cultivators were annihilated, Luo Lian's figure shattered, and the God-Slaying Spear was once again knocked away.

Filled with resentment and covered in blood, Luo Hou used a secret technique to regain his senses. His eyes blazed with rage, and his entire body radiated killing intent, transforming into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood: "You, you... ah, all you demonic cultivators, follow me and kill!"

Luo Hou roared, his eyes turning a deep crimson, filled with resentment. His entire body burned with demonic energy, surrounded by a black lotus of destruction, and the God-Slaying Spear returned once more. Accompanied by Luo Lian's shouts, it once again charged towards the numerous ancestors.

At the same time, numerous demonic cultivators hidden within countless glaciers emerged, each carrying demonic energy. All of them possessed cultivation levels above the Great Luo realm, and each was an extremely powerful being. They conjured demonic arrays and various demonic techniques, engaging in fierce battles with numerous patriarchs.

Despite this, the many elders still sneered and immediately launched a fierce attack. The scaled and avian races, in particular, led large numbers of their people.

In an instant, the massive formation surged forth, engulfing the glacier. It also ravaged the endless land, affecting countless realms.

The Wu tribe of Buzhou, seeing such a great battle, all turned their attention to it, wanting to join in.

"Clan leader... Luo Lian is now besieged and it seems he can't escape death. At this time, it's time for our Wu clan to take action. This is a good opportunity for revenge." Zhu Rong was excited, his blood-red eyes filled with hatred for Luo Lian.

Gonggong chimed in, "Yes! If we're too late, Luo Kui will have been killed by those ancestors. How will we get our revenge then?"

The other members of the Wu tribe also spoke with great conviction, wanting to invade the north and kill Luo Lian.

Di Qing remained calm as he observed the great battle in the north. Looking at the besieged Luo Lian, his brows furrowed.

As if sensing that Di Qing's mood was off, Zhu Jiuyin asked, "Clan leader, do you perhaps feel that it's inappropriate to seek revenge now?"

"It's not that it's inappropriate, but I feel that Luo Lian is acting."

"Acting? Based on our years of collecting information about Luo Lian from all living beings, we all know that Luo Kui cultivates the Great Dao of Destruction, and his favorite weapons are the God-Slaying Spear and the Black Lotus of Destruction. Although he is powerful, he is at most stronger than some ancestral masters. And the Luo Lian we see before us is similar to what we have gathered."

"Similar? What if Luo Lian has been hiding it all along?"

Based on Di Qing's understanding of Luo Lian, the current Luo Lian (Li Li Hao) is far more complex than he appears. Leaving aside distant examples, just consider the spiritual treasures Luo Lian possesses—how could he only have the God-Slaying Spear and the Black Lotus of Destruction? What about his Four Immortal-Slaying Swords? What about his Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram?

Is Luo Lian, who hasn't revealed his trump cards, truly Luo Lian?

The Luo Lian who is now surrounded and forced into a perilous situation by many patriarchs is definitely not the Luo Lian who Di Qing knew.

Because of this, Di Qing instinctively sensed something was wrong: "Obey my command! The Wu Clan is on high alert! Without my order, no one is to set foot on Buzhou Mountain!"

Although many ancestral witches harbored doubts, they ultimately obeyed Di Qing's orders. This was the power and authority of a clan leader. If the witch clan had no leader, the outcome in this situation would have been uncertain. But since Di Qing was the clan leader, his will had to be obeyed.

With Emperor Qing's order, the numerous Ancestral Witches could only cast spells and gaze at the great battle taking place in the far north.

As a result, they looked at it for tens of thousands of years.

Luo Lian and many ancestors, as well as the two races of scaled birds, fought for tens of thousands of years.
