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

Chapter 57: Transformed into the Primordial Rules, Cultivated Along with the Primordial World, Limited by the Heavenly Dao, and Flawed in the Primordial World.

"Indeed. But every sacrifice has its benefits!" The White Tiger Ancestor chuckled, showing no sign of frustration or loss at the White Tiger clan's fate, but rather joy: "Our clan, having rendered service to Heaven and Earth, will be eternally immortal. No matter how many calamities befall the primordial world, our clan will be protected by it, ensuring the continuation of our lineage and bloodline. Unless the primordial world is destroyed, our clan will never be annihilated or extinct."

"Besides, because of the merits of our clansmen, Heaven and Earth have bestowed blessings upon them. This makes cultivation easier for our clansmen and gives them more opportunities. It can be said that this sacrifice to Heaven and Earth has both advantages and disadvantages!"

"Is that all?" Di Qing said in a low voice, disagreeing with the benefits the five clans had gained. Sacrificing so much for so little seemed somewhat unfair.

Although the sacrifice of the five races was orchestrated by Di Qing, after the sacrifice, they were essentially under his command. Di Qing naturally had to pay attention to his subordinates. However, given that so many of his men had sacrificed themselves for such a small reward, Di Qing was understandably displeased.

"We gained more than just that. There were many other benefits, but none of them amounted to much. The most crucial benefit was that it allowed the five of us to find a path to success and the opportunity to reach the Primordial Chaos Realm."

What is the opportunity to achieve enlightenment and attain the unity of all things?

"We sacrificed ourselves to Heaven and Earth, sharing the fate of the primordial world, its rise and fall intertwined. Therefore, we can perceive the changes in the primordial world and comprehend its myriad paths. Secondly, as the primordial world gradually heals and grows, our cultivation will undergo a qualitative change. Not only will we achieve the Primordial Chaos realm, but we may even advance further. Of course, this growth process is incredibly long. However, as the primordial world grows to a certain extent, we will also be able to transcend its constraints due to our achievements. Not only will we regain our freedom, but we will also gain unparalleled cultivation."

"It could be said that we are currently seemingly bound, but in reality, we are in a state of secluded cultivation. After a long period of time, we will become stronger and then break free from these constraints."

"Wait, as the Primordial World is repaired and improved, it is also undergoing a qualitative change. Could it be that the Primordial World itself is undergoing a qualitative change?" Di Qing paused for a moment, finding the key point in the words.

"Indeed, after we sacrificed ourselves and merged into the primordial world, we discovered that the vast primordial world has flaws. It is as if the primordial world has suffered a severe blow, the earth has shattered, resources have been greatly reduced, and it has evolved into its current state. But the primordial world can be gradually repaired. Our race will reproduce generation after generation, grow generation after generation, and then sacrifice generation after generation. Eventually, there will be a day when the primordial world will be repaired."

"Of course, this is all predicated on the premise that the primordial world will not suffer another great calamity and will not be severely damaged again. Otherwise, if we have just repaired a lot and the primordial world is destroyed again, then our repairs will become meaningless."

Silence fell upon hearing this. Di Qing was genuinely taken aback by what Zu Long and the others had said.

The primordial world is flawed; the primordial world is indeed flawed. The primordial world today is not the complete primordial world, but rather a primordial world shattered after numerous great wars. In terms of resources and spiritual energy, the primordial world today seems far inferior to what it once was.

This news truly shocked and weighed heavily on Di Qing's mind. As a descendant of the great god Pangu, he had no idea of ​​such things. Furthermore, what kind of great calamity had caused such a flaw in the primordial world?

Di Qing's expression turned somber, and he asked, "What kind of great calamity caused the primordial world to become flawed?"

"I don't know. We only instinctively sensed that there was a flaw in the primordial world, but what exactly caused this flaw is beyond our comprehension!" The Phoenix Ancestor sighed, also deeply shocked by this news.

The other patriarchs echoed this sentiment, all expressing their lack of understanding. Emperor Qing remained silent for a long time, recovering from his shock: "The primordial world is mysterious, concealing endless unknowns. With our current cultivation levels, we can hardly fathom even a fraction of it. However, rest assured, I will try my best to reduce the primordial calamities in the future."

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Di Qing." Zu Long and the others said, knowing in their hearts that Di Qing and his Wu Clan were now one of the most powerful forces in the prehistoric world. If Di Qing wanted to suppress the prehistoric world and prevent a great calamity from breaking out, that would definitely be feasible.

Di Qing let out a long sigh, then continued, "Given your current state, besides relying on repairing the primordial world to grow, are there any other ways for you to grow and cultivate?"

"Difficult! Now that we have become part of the primordial world, we are no longer independent individuals and cannot cultivate at all." Zu Long sighed and shook his head.

"No, cultivation is possible. Fellow Daoist Di Qing imparted to me the Daoist Scripture of Faith, which enables us to continue cultivating. Through the [unclear]..."

"By relying on faith, condensing the true form of faith, and then tempering it with faith to carry our soul, we can still become powerful. However, this method of cultivating and becoming stronger by borrowing the faith of others is ultimately somewhat fragile." Although the White Tiger Ancestor guards the far west, he can still sense the faith coming from the west, and can still condense a true form and become stronger.

Zu Long and the others, upon hearing this, were also quite intrigued: "The method of faith, faith in the true form—that's interesting. Moreover..."

Given our current state, as long as we can continue our cultivation, what does it matter if our faith is weak?

"That's true!" the Phoenix Ancestor chimed in.

Upon seeing this, Di Qing smiled and said, "Since the Method of Faith can be cultivated, I will use it to perfect the Method of Faith, allowing you to continue cultivating. Furthermore, you have become part of the primordial world, and your relationship with the Heavenly Dao..."

"If Fellow Daoist Di Qing hadn't mentioned it, we would have all forgotten the existence of the Heavenly Dao. In fact, we still don't know what the Heavenly Dao is like. But we feel that the Heavenly Dao is also a part of the primordial world."

"Since the Heavenly Dao is part of the primordial world, it must abide by the rules governing its operation. For example, within the rules of Heaven and Earth, all things possess a spirit, and the primordial world cannot arbitrarily erase any living being. Unless that living being bears endless karma and cause and effect, or destroys the primordial world, only then can Heaven and Earth bestow divine punishment."

"Yes, we sense that the Heavenly Dao is also part of the primordial world, and it must follow the rules of the primordial world. It cannot break the rules, nor can it change the rules."

"Is it restricted by the rules of the primordial world? If so, then the Heavenly Dao will be easier to deal with."

Upon hearing this news, Di Qing was not surprised at all. Having already made some guesses about the Heavenly Dao after this test and by combining his memories from the future, he was now even more certain of this claim after hearing what Zu Long and the others said.

After a long conversation, they learned about the changes in the five tribes. Furthermore, they understood, based on their requests, that stricter controls on the five tribes would be necessary in the future. It should be noted that Di Qing was now not only the patriarch of the Witch Clan, but also the patriarch of all five tribes.

Zu Long and the others did not want to see their own people destroying the prehistoric world while they were protecting it; otherwise, all their hard work would have been in vain.
