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

Chapter 52: Desiring to offer to the five clans, the Immortal and Indestructible Scripture, a new god is born from the Qilin's physical body.

Although both the Scaled and Flying Bird races suffered heavy losses in the conflict between the Dao and Demonic factions, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. With the remaining foundations of their respective races, they are still far superior to many other races in the prehistoric world. Especially when the two races are united, their power is even more vast.

Immediately, Di Qing passed on all his insights gained over the years, as well as the methods of sacrifice, to the Ancestral Dragon and the Phoenix Ancestor: "You should first contemplate these. This is my plan for you to sacrifice yourselves in exchange for merit. Furthermore, this sacrifice involves not only you, but also the Qilin Ancestor, the White Tiger Ancestor, and the Black Tortoise Ancestor."

"A grand scheme indeed, Fellow Daoist Di Qing!" Zu Long laughed heartily as he comprehended Di Qing's plan. Such a scheme, such a sacrifice, involved not only their scaled and flying races, but also the beasts, the Xuanwu race, and the White Tiger race.

The Phoenix Ancestor watched, his heart stirred, yet he also wondered: "Fellow Daoist Di Qing, is the Black Tortoise Ancestor involved?"

"That's not a problem. Although he suffered severe injuries in the battle between the Dao and the Demonic Realms, he ultimately survived. But the Qilin Ancestor and the White Tiger Clan have already perished. This…"

"Although the Qilin Ancestor has perished, his physical body still exists. As long as there is a physical body, it is not a difficult matter to allow him to generate a new divine soul or to re-condense his divine soul. On the other hand, the White Tiger Ancestor has perished completely, but he also made great contributions to the world in that battle. With the help of this fellow Daoist, there is an opportunity to reshape the White Tiger Ancestor's divine soul. In short, leave the matters of the White Tiger Ancestor and the Qilin Ancestor to me. You only need to deal with the Xuanwu Ancestor," Di Qing said.

"If it's just one Xuanwu Ancestor, then it's not a problem at all," Zulong immediately promised.

"Since we've reached an agreement, let's do it this way. You go find Ancestor Xuanwu, and I'll go revive Ancestor Qilin and Ancestor Baihu!" After Di Qing made the decision, Ancestor Zulong and Ancestor Fenghuang nodded in response and immediately left.

After a long time, Di Qing arrived at the outer edge of Buzhou Land.

Upon learning of Di Qing's arrival, Mo Lin immediately flew over: "Clan Chief Di Qing, you've arrived."

"Okay! Take me to Qilin Cliff!" Without saying much more, he immediately flew towards Qilin Cliff.

Within Qilin Cliff lies the vast world, the burial place of the Qilin Ancestor. Entering this place, one sees countless piles of resources and endless, magnificent palaces, resembling a mystical blessed land. Yet, this blessed land is the tomb of the Qilin Ancestor.

The physical body of the Qilin Ancestor lies inside a coffin crafted from countless divine materials. Although the Qilin Ancestor perished countless years ago, there is no trace of death aura surrounding him; instead, he exudes a rich vitality and aura of creation.

Mo Lin followed behind Di Qing and slowly said, "Clan Chief Di Qing, since my elder brother's body was buried, the death aura has been increasing day by day. But during the war between the Dao and the Demon, I merged my divine soul into my elder brother's body and participated in the evolution of the Five Great Arrays of the Primordial World. My elder brother's body was then washed away by the rich earth energy, and the endless death aura dissipated, and then it evolved into the vibrant state it is today."

Di Qing gazed at the vibrant life force emanating from the Qilin Ancestor's body, his expression shifting: "It seems that even without me, the Qilin Ancestor's body will be reborn with a divine soul!"

"The birth of a new Divine Soul Emperor Qing Clan Chief, what do you mean...?" Mo Lin became excited upon hearing this.

"Don't get excited. The Qilin Ancestor has already fallen. Even if his physical body were to reassemble his soul, he wouldn't be the same Qilin Ancestor as before. Instead, he would be a new spirit that has obtained the Qilin Ancestor's physical body and vast memories. At most, this new spirit would only resemble the Qilin Ancestor by about 90%. Moreover, although such a new spirit will inherit the Qilin Ancestor's cultivation, it will never reach the heights of the Qilin Ancestor."

"A newborn spirit that inherited everything from my elder brother, bearing a ninety percent resemblance to him. This..."

"There's nothing we can do. The Qilin Ancestor's demise was too complete. If he hadn't been cleansed by the earth's energy and surrounded by death energy, he wouldn't even have had the chance to give birth to a new divine soul."

Mo Lin fell silent. He was still clear about some of the rules within the Primordial World. There were countless methods of resurrection and restoration in the Primordial World. However, resurrection was not omnipotent, and certain conditions needed to be met to be resurrected.

For example, if a cultivator perishes but retains a small fragment of their soul, this fragmented soul has a chance to be resurrected. However, before resurrection, the soul will be entangled and corrupted by the Dao of Death. If resurrection cannot be completed in time, the soul will be annihilated as the Dao of Death binds it.

If one merely retains their physical body, they will still be entangled by the Dao of Death, making resurrection impossible. Moreover, this entangled Dao of Death is an imprint of Heaven and Earth, making it virtually impossible to erase. In fact, the process of erasing it is akin to wrestling against the primordial universe.

Therefore, for cultivators in the primordial world, dying is difficult, but being resurrected is even more difficult.

The Qilin Ancestor was like that; his soul was annihilated, leaving only his physical body branded by the endless Dao of Death, making resurrection impossible. Now, the Dao of Death that branded his flesh and blood has dissipated, but the Qilin Ancestor has been gone for too long. Even if he were resurrected, he would not be the same Qilin Ancestor he once was.

Mo Lin's expression turned somber, unsure of what to say: "The resurrected elder brother isn't the real elder brother. I..."

"The Qilin Ancestor has already fallen. The newborn spirits that inherit everything from the Qilin Ancestor can be considered a continuation of the Qilin Ancestor." As Di Qing spoke, he pointed his fingertip, and a special scripture was imprinted into the Qilin Ancestor's body.

The scripture formed a unique Daoist aura, encircling the body of the Qilin Ancestor and drawing spiritual energy into it, as if the Qilin Ancestor were cultivating.

Mo Lin, witnessing this scene, asked, "Clan leader, what is this...?"

"The Immortal and Undying Scripture! This scripture is a cultivation method I created after comprehending many body-refining techniques and experiencing the Great Dao of Immortality and the Great Dao of Undying. It enables cultivators who practice this method to temper an immortal and indestructible physical body. Even if they perish, as long as a trace of their physical body remains, it will instinctively operate this scripture to recover itself and then reshape a complete physical body. Then, a new divine soul will be born from the physical body." As Di Qing spoke, the physical body of the Qilin Ancestor, imprinted with the Immortal and Undying Scripture, began to cultivate.

The surging spiritual energy flowed into the physical body, gradually tempering it along with the scriptures. It also accelerated the birth of the divine soul within the physical body.

Mo Lin's feelings were complicated, but he finally said, "Thank you, Clan Chief, for bringing my elder brother back to life. Although the resurrected brother is no longer the same as before, as long as..."

"Alright, I won't say anything more. From now on, you just need to focus on guarding the physical body of the Qilin Ancestor and waiting for the birth of a new Qilin Ancestor." After saying that, Di Qing took a step and left Qilin Cliff.

Mo Lin respectfully saw Di Qing off, but Di Qing did not return to the interior of Buzhou, but instead flew directly out of Buzhou.

This was the first time Di Qing had traveled alone outside Buzhou Mountain. In the past, whenever he went out, either Houtu or Xuanming would accompany him, always protecting his safety.

Given Di Qing's current cultivation level, there are very few in the primordial world who can defeat him. Moreover, Di Qing possesses the Three Treasures of Creation and is further enhanced by the Law of Destiny; who can contend with him?

Di Qing looked towards the west, pondered for a moment, and then flew westward.

……

After flying for a long time, Di Qing arrived in the western lands.

Once the heart of the war between the Dao and the Demons, the Western Lands suffered devastating losses. A third of the land was obliterated, transforming into a vast abyss. Two-thirds of the land was also affected, with countless mountains collapsing and turning into ruins. All things withered and perished.

Moreover, due to Luo Lian's actions, the entire ancestral dragon vein in the west was shattered. Although the remaining weak dragon veins could still generate spiritual energy, this caused the overall spiritual energy in the west to decline, falling far short of other areas.

Of course, compared to the western deserts and barren lands in Di Qing's memories, this is considered better. Think about the memories...

The western part of the region was desolate and spiritually thin due to Luo Lian's self-destruction. The only remaining blessed land, Lingshan, was nothing compared to the many blessed lands in the prehistoric world.

While the spiritual energy in the West has declined, it is not scarce. Although the quality of blessed lands is not high, their numbers are numerous. Moreover, the spiritual veins will gradually recover over time.
