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

Chapter 44 Luo Hou as a chess piece, Heavenly Dao as the true culprit, the supreme treasure Jade Disc of Creation, the halo of the Great Dao

With a deafening roar, the Pangu Temple shrank into an ordinary palace, directly suppressing Luo Lian's true spirit within. Accompanied by the oppressive power of the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar, no one could rescue him. And Luo Lian's true spirit was even less able to save itself.

The other Ancestral Witches, witnessing this scene, were also filled with joy and excitement for revenge: "Back then, Luo Lian stormed into Buzhou Mountain and overturned the Pangu Temple, causing many of our unborn clansmen to lose their lives. But now, Luo Lian is suppressed beneath the Pangu Temple, which can be considered an eye for an eye. The feud between our Witch Clan and Luo Lian has finally come to an end. Our Witch Clan has finally taken its revenge."

"No, the suppression of Luo Lian is only the first step in our revenge. Our Wu Clan still has another enemy who is still alive and well." Di Qing gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with killing intent and rage.

"There's another enemy," Zhu Jiuyin's eyes shifted, as if he had thought of something: "Di Qing, could this enemy be the Heavenly Dao?"

"If I'm not mistaken, even the Heavenly Dao is our enemy." Di Qing clenched his fists, his anger burning. "Back then, when Luo Lian was able to enter Buzhou Land and overturn the Pangu Temple, I was very curious about how he was able to enter Buzhou Land and find the God-Slaying Spear containing the endless resentment of the Chaotic Demon God."

"Back then, I thought that Luo Lian obtained many innate lotus platforms by chance, and that he was able to enter the interior of Buzhou Land by using the chaotic green lotus aura contained within the lotus platforms. I thought that Luo Lian found many lotus platforms and used them to sense the God-Slaying Spear."

"But now I believe that Luo Lian is a pawn, a pawn manipulated by the Heavenly Dao. What the Heavenly Dao is, how it came into being, and how it is constituted are all unknown to us. However, I am certain that the Heavenly Dao is extraordinary, and it can guide others to obtain opportunities."

"Perhaps Luo Lian was able to find so many lotus platforms and obtain the God-Slaying Spear because of the guidance of Heaven. And Luo Lian was able to enter Buzhou Land because of the guidance of Heaven as well."

"After all, we were born in the core of Buzhou Mountain, and the outside world has no idea of ​​our existence. How could Luo Lian possibly know that our Wu Clan was born in Buzhou Mountain?"

"Many questions remained unanswered before. But now, seeing the way of Heaven, I finally have the answer. It is Heaven that caused all this. Heaven is the mastermind behind it all."

"This..." Zhu Jiuyin and the others were all shocked and puzzled. The Heavenly Dao actually possessed such power.

Unfortunately, the beings of this primordial world have a weak understanding of the Heavenly Dao; they have no idea what it means or represents. But Di Qing knows. Di Qing also knows some of the unique aspects of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, he instinctively guesses that the Heavenly Dao is the true culprit.

Although Zhu Jiuyin and his group were allies, they instinctively believed Di Qing's explanation. However, despite this belief, many doubts still arose.

"Di Qing, if the Heavenly Dao is the mastermind behind this, why would the Heavenly Dao do this?" Di Jiang countered.

"I don't know why Heaven did this. But Heaven definitely has its own goals and intentions. And in the current prehistoric world, who has the means to lure Luo Lian?" After explaining, Di Qing turned to ask a question.

While many of the Ancestral Witches remained lost in thought, Di Qing harbored a vague understanding of the answers. However, these answers were derived from Di Qing's combination of later generations' knowledge and the unique nature of the Heavenly Dao.

These answers cannot be given to Di Jiang and the others for the time being. In any case, Di Qing firmly believes that the Heavenly Dao is absolutely behind the harm done to the Wu Clan.

Why did Heaven do this? It was nothing more than fear of the potential of the Wu Clan and their status as descendants of the great god Pangu.

Looking at the many Ancestral Witches who were deep in thought, Di Qing slowly said, "Alright, this concerns matters of the Heavenly Dao, we can discuss it later. For now, let's return to our cultivation, recover our strength, and digest what we've gained from this great battle."

"Okay!" Dijiang and the others nodded, exchanged glances, and then left.

As Di Qing gazed at the floating innate treasure, the Ancestral Witch Temple, and the suppressed Luo Lian True Spirit, many thoughts arose in his mind.

Soon, Di Qing returned to the Wu tribe's ancestral land.

Although the Pangu Temple was lost, the many cities that Di Qing had built before have become the training grounds for the Wu Clan.

Di Qing arrived at his own city and looked at the countless treasures gathered in his hands. He felt a little amused: "The Primordial Treasure Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, the Qiankun Cauldron, the Four Swords of Zhuxian, the God-Slaying Spear... These spiritual treasures that once belonged to many ancestors and later generations have all fallen into my hands."

"If Hongjun knew that all these spiritual treasures that should have belonged to him had been looted by me, wouldn't he be furious to death? And if Hongjun were to preach at Zixiao Palace in the future, how would he reward his own disciples and Zixiao Palace?"

Thinking back to later generations, Hongjun preached in Zixiao Palace, bestowing the innate treasures upon the Three Pure Ones, the Qiankun Cauldron upon Nuwa, and even dividing countless spiritual treasures at the Treasure Dividing Rock. How magnificent and grand that was!

Now that the great battle is over, seven or eight out of ten of the spiritual treasures that originally belonged to Hongjun have been looted by Di Qing, and the remainder have been plundered by the scaled and flying races. Hongjun has gained almost nothing. Can he, the future Dao Ancestor, still so lavishly bestow spiritual treasures?

Of course, whether Hongjun can become the future Dao Ancestor is still uncertain. After all, most of the Creation Jade Disc that originally belonged to Hongjun was taken away by Di Qing.

The Creation Jade Disc that Di Qing has gathered in his hands now contains two-thirds of the complete Creation Jade Disc.

Two-thirds of the Creation Jade Disc, though still appearing broken, exudes an aura far surpassing that of ordinary innate treasures. Countless Great Daos are imprinted within it, allowing Di Qing to comprehend them at any time.

In addition, two-thirds of the Creation Jade Discs also possess the Divine Power of the Great Dao Halo. Under this Great Dao Halo, Emperor Qing's comprehension and wisdom can undergo a qualitative change.

Originally, Di Qing's innate treasure, the Temple of Wisdom, was enough to make him possess extraordinary comprehension and unparalleled wisdom. Now, with the addition of the Jade Disc of Creation, Di Qing's wisdom and comprehension have become even more terrifying.

With the Jade Disc of Creation and the Temple of Wisdom above his head, Di Qing's mind radiated boundless light of the Great Dao: "Let's cultivate first."

Without much thought, Di Qing immersed himself in cultivation. After all, he had suffered considerable injuries in the battle and needed time to recover. Moreover, he had gained many insights from the battle and needed time to digest them.

In the blink of an eye, countless years have passed.

The entire primordial world was silent, and all living beings had not yet recovered from the previous conflict between the Dao and the Demon.

There was no way around it; the battle between the Dao and the Demonic Realms back then was far too brutal. Countless cultivators gathered, yet over ninety percent perished. Of the three thousand patriarchs who had almost gathered, only Hongjun remained.

Ninety-nine percent of the scaled creatures and birds also perished, and ninety percent of Emperor Qing's troops also perished.

With the number of cultivators in the entire prehistoric world drastically reduced, it naturally became quiet.

This atmosphere of silence had persisted for countless years. Only when new beings took human form did life gradually return. However, these newly formed cultivators, in terms of origin and aptitude, were far inferior to their predecessors. Furthermore, many of these newly formed cultivators lacked innate inheritance and cultivation methods, leaving them no choice but to wander the primordial wilderness in search of such methods.

Of course, external changes cannot affect the cultivators in Buzhou Land, let alone Emperor Qing.

After countless years of secluded cultivation, Di Qing finally awoke from his slumber. His spine throbbed, resonating faintly with the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar, emanating a terrifying pressure. Under that pressure, Di Qing's physical body underwent a transformation, experiencing indescribable changes.

This transformation continued for a long time, reflecting back to the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar, which was formed from the projection of Emperor Qing's spine. The projection of the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar gradually evolved from a celestial pillar into a living being.

Unfortunately, this being only evolved slightly before collapsing along with the illusory image of the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar, returning to its original form.

"I failed!" Di Qing's deep eyes were filled with boundless wisdom, as if he could see through all things in the world. But when his gaze fell on his own physical body, he couldn't help but sigh and shake his head: "Just one step away, my physical body would have broken through to the Primordial Chaos Realm."

But this step is like a world apart, preventing me from ever achieving the Primordial Body. Alas…”

He sighed softly, yet there was nothing he could do. Years of arduous training and accumulation of knowledge had led him to attempt to take that final step with his physical body. Unfortunately, he ultimately failed to break through.

Di Qing knew he had hit a bottleneck: "Although it's difficult to break through a bottleneck, I've grown immensely during this years of seclusion. My essence, energy, and spirit have all undergone transformations, reaching the half-step Hunyuan level. My understanding of the Great Dao far surpasses my own cultivation. Moreover, with the Temple of Wisdom and the Jade Disc of Creation in hand, I have comprehended all three thousand Great Daos."

"Although I haven't fully comprehended every great path, I have comprehended it to a very deep level. These insights into the great paths, along with my own wisdom, will transform into endless Dharma."

At this thought, endless thoughts and ideas arose in Di Qing's mind.

However, Di Qing didn't think too much about it and stood up: "Forget it, why think so much? Let's go out and take a look."

Stepping out of the secluded retreat, the endless rows of Wu tribe cities left their mark on their eyes.

Numerous great and lesser shamans surrounded the city, cultivating and competing with each other.

They couldn't see Dijiang and the others, but by sensing their qi, they discovered that they were still in seclusion.

Di Qing's mind stirred, and the great shaman Xing Tian in the city before him sensed it and instantly flew over: "Xing Tian greets the clan leader! Clan leader, you have finally emerged from seclusion."
