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

Chapter 50: Emperor Qing severs his old body, transforms into the Earth Scripture, and uses his body to transform the primordial world. His path to enlightenment is clear, and Emperor Qing is greedy for the Dao.

After the departure of many ancestral witches, only Di Qing remained in the vast secluded cultivation area.

Di Qing digested his many insights: "Di Jiang has already mastered the Body-Severing and Dao-Enlightening Technique, and now it's my turn to cultivate it. However, compared to the other Ancestral Witches, I am capable of cultivating the Primordial Spirit. Therefore, the Body-Severing and Dao-Enlightening Technique that I cultivate is slightly different."

With these low murmurs, Di Qing also entered into cultivation. Like Di Jiang, he manifested the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, drawing upon a trace of the Father God's will.

Without this sliver of willpower, severing one's own physical body wouldn't be so easy.

As he cultivated, Di Qing severed ninety-nine percent of his physical body, soul, and magical power, forming an avatar that carried his former half-step Primordial Chaos cultivation. The remaining part of Di Qing became a drop of essence blood, which, along with innate spiritual energy, transformed back into human form.

"This feeling of weakness is truly unsettling!" Di Qing felt a sense of loss as he experienced the weakness he had gained after reverting to his original form. He had once been able to shatter endless voids with a single punch, and even stir up the long river of time.

The new entity, though possessing immense potential, is so weak that it can't even compare to a fraction of what it once was. This disparity is truly unsettling.

"I have never experienced weakness before, so it's not bad to experience it now." Di Qing's old body smiled as it looked at Di Qing's new body.

Di Qing wasn't surprised by the old body's words. After all, he was capable of cultivating his primordial spirit, and with a primordial spirit at the half-step Hunyuan realm, cutting off 99% of it was enough to give the old body intelligence. Unlike the old bodies that Di Jiang and the others had cut off, which lacked intelligence and were like puppets.

Di Qing looked at the old body and said, "Experiencing weakness is not bad. However, I still pursue strength. From now on, I will focus on cultivation, and you stay put."

"I will naturally protect your cultivation. But how does your cultivation plan proceed? Will you continue with the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar Scripture, or the Immortal Dao system, or perhaps the Feng Shui system?"

"After all, starting over offers more options. And doesn't my true self harbor an incredibly grand plan? To merge all paths, evolve the system of all paths, and ultimately unify all paths into one!"

Upon hearing the old version of the text, Di Qing burst into laughter: "Haha, indeed, the one who understands me best is still myself. From my birth until now, I have comprehended the endless Great Dao and created endless methods. But most of what I have comprehended and created has been handed over to others. I myself only cultivate the 'Buzhou Tianzhu Scripture' and focus on strengthening my own essence, energy, and spirit. As for the Great Dao, I don't cultivate any of them at all."

"It's not that I don't want to cultivate the Great Dao, but that I can't bear to give it up. I can't bear to choose one and give up the two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Great Daos. I can't bear to cultivate one scripture and give up countless others."

"I'm greedy. I like all the paths, and I want to cultivate every single one of them. I want to try every cultivation method. After all, only children make choices; adults want it all."

"However, given the current state of the primordial chaos and my current condition, this path is simply not suitable for me."

"Then how does this venerable one wish to cultivate?" the old body asked again.

"Next, you will continue to cultivate the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar Scripture. I will cultivate the Body Transformation into Earth Technique." Di Qing had already decided on the path he should take.

"The Body Transforms into Earth Technique, transforming the body into the earth?" The old body laughed, as if he had thought of something: "The core of the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar Scripture that my old body cultivates is the transformation of the body into Buzhou. And the Body Transforms into Earth Technique that I created a long time ago is about transforming the body into the earth."

"Then there will be the Body Transformation into the Sky Technique, transforming the body into the sky. The Body Transformation into All Things Technique, transforming the body into all things. When these four are combined, it will be the Body Transformation into the Primordial World! My Lord, your ambition is truly great."

"Yes. My ambition is great. Even if I cultivate to the point of becoming one with the primordial world, I will still cultivate the three thousand cultivation systems, comprehend the three thousand Great Daos, and merge with the Dao to become one. I might even abandon my roots in the Witch Clan and instead transform into a body of spiritual treasures, a body of spiritual roots, a body of all things, to try different cultivation methods. This is my path, this is my future, this is my ambition!"

Long ago, Di Qing had already decided what his future path would be. Di Qing possessed the Temple of Wisdom, and extraordinary comprehension and intelligence; he couldn't afford to waste them.

For an ordinary cultivator, cultivating a single Great Dao might take endless years. But for Di Qing, cultivating and comprehending a single Great Dao takes very little time.

Secondly, Di Qing is now the patriarch of the Witch Clan, the Immortal Clan, and the Beast Clan, and is burdened with endless resources.

Since the Great Dao can be comprehended in a short time and cultivation resources are inexhaustible, why would Di Qing waste such an opportunity?

The chosen path must naturally be magnificent and vast.

If you cultivate one Great Dao, I will cultivate three thousand. If you cultivate one system, I will cultivate three thousand systems. If you cultivate one wondrous method, I will cultivate endless methods.

In short, I, Di Qing, have cultivated more and I am stronger than you.

Victory comes from sheer numbers; invincibility comes from sheer numbers.

Di Qing laughed loudly, drawing upon the vast spiritual energy to activate the "Body Transformation into Earth Technique," beginning a new round of cultivation.

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

Having severed his old body, Di Qing cultivated with a new one, and has now returned to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

However, with a flick of Di Qing's sleeve, his old body transformed into a wisp of blood and qi, flowing into his body. Instantly, Di Qing's aura underwent a qualitative change, and he instantly returned to the half-step Primordial Chaos Realm.

This is due to the power of his old body, which has enabled him to reach his current level of cultivation. This is also one of the trump cards that allowed Di Qing to easily sever his old body and start cultivating anew.

At this moment, Di Qing, with his new body and the cultivation of a half-step Hunyuan, walked out of the secluded cultivation place.

Xing Tian, ​​who had been waiting outside, reported: "Clan leader, the Ancestral Dragon and the Phoenix Ancestor have already..."

"I understand. I'll be right there." Di Qing originally wanted to continue cultivating, but upon learning that the Ancestral Dragon and the Phoenix Ancestor had arrived, he naturally chose to put down his cultivation.

After all, the arrival of the Phoenix Ancestor and the Ancestral Dragon will also bring Emperor Qing news about the Heavenly Dao.

Soon, Di Qing arrived at the Immortal City of Creation.

Zulong and Phoenix Ancestor had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw Diqing, they both stood up, their expressions filled with a sense of wanting to say something but holding back.

Di Qing understood immediately, and the Three Treasures of Creation flew out, instantly obscuring the sky and turning this place into a forbidden area, making it difficult for outsiders to see and also preventing the Heavenly Dao from seeing it.

"Alright, with the Three Treasures of Creation guiding the Father God's will to suppress this place, even the Heavenly Dao cannot glimpse even a trace of it." Di Qing walked over, sat down to greet the two ancestors, and said with a profound gaze, "Next, it's time to talk about your probing over the years."

"Just as Fellow Daoist Yutian guessed, the Heavenly Dao has given our two races a choice!" The Ancestral Dragon seemed furious, yet helpless: "The Heavenly Dao is subtly conveying a message: if you wish to wash away the karmic debts of the Scaled and Flying Bird races..."

I, the Ancestral Dragon, representing the Scaled Armor Clan, must offer sacrifices to the heavens and swear to use my dragon body to evolve the dragon veins, repairing and repaying the flood.

"The wilderness. Secondly, with my ancestral dragon body, I will evolve into a Azure Dragon to suppress the far eastern lands of the primordial wilderness."

"I am almost the same. The Heavenly Dao expresses itself in a subtle way. I, the Phoenix Ancestor, representing the bird race, offered sacrifices to the heavens and vowed to use my phoenix body to suppress the endless volcanoes in the south, and to use my true form to suppress the immortal volcanoes in the south. And my secondary form, the Vermilion Bird, will suppress the far southern land of the primordial wilderness."

"In this way, my bird clan will continuously receive merit, which will wash away the vast karma and cause and effect that the clan bears. This will give my bird clan the opportunity to continue and ensure that the bloodline of my bird clan will live on forever."

The Phoenix Ancestor sighed softly, but his heart burned with rage. The Heavenly Dao's subtle expression was practically forcing their two races into submission, and even demanding their sacrifice.

This was an immense humiliation for the two races that dominated the primordial world. In fact, ever since the Ancestral Dragon and the Phoenix Ancestor learned of this…

The methods of cultivating destiny and fortune were all spread by Luo Lian. Knowing that the rise of the Flying Bird and Scaled Armor races was due to Luo Lian's conspiracy, their desire for the Dao crumbled. The path they had painstakingly built was shattered.

With their paths to enlightenment severed, the Ancestral Dragon and the Phoenix Ancestor have begun to consider resuming their cultivation and seeking a new path. However, resuming cultivation and seeking a new path are not things that can be done casually.

This requires both to sacrifice themselves, sever their paths and cultivation in this life, and start over. Therefore, at this time, if they can sacrifice themselves to benefit their race, they are willing to do so.

But now it seems that the heavens are forcing them to die and sacrifice themselves, which they cannot accept and are unwilling to accept.

Secondly, they also sensed that if they truly followed the will of Heaven, they would lose the chance to start over.

Yu Tian listened to the two patriarchs' stories, sensing their anger, but his heart was filled with understanding: "He transformed into a dragon vein, into a blue dragon, to suppress the far east. He used his body to suppress the Undying Volcano, and his body to transform into a vermilion bird to suppress the far south. The choice given by Heaven is not without its problems. However, there is definitely something wrong with it."

"This is absolutely a scheme by the Heavenly Dao. We've finally realized that the Heavenly Dao is the real mastermind. Perhaps Luo Hou is just a pawn of the Heavenly Dao!" Zu Long sighed again, a strange sense of loss rising in his heart. It was a loss for himself. Before, he had created the Scaled Armor Clan and dominated the East. How heroic and majestic he was!

But now he realized that everything he had was nothing but someone else's scheme. He was like a pawn, manipulated at will. This clownish behavior filled Zu Long with anger and despair.

The Phoenix Ancestor felt the same way, his mood somber: "What exactly is this Heavenly Dao, and why does it scheme like this?"
