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

Chapter 96 Di Qing Desires to Cultivate a Divine Rank, a Divine Rank to Replace the Divine Soul

"If I were to cultivate the Great Dao of Creation, it would be to comprehend the method of creating the human race and solve the problem of the Wu Clan's reproduction. But if I cultivate the Divine System and the Great Dao of Destruction, it would be to open up a new path for the Wu Clan, allowing them to find a cultivation method to replace the divine soul, thereby making the Wu Clan stronger."

"One involves the strength of the Witch Clan, and the other involves their reproduction. Faced with such a difficult choice, I ultimately chose to prioritize enhancing the strength of the Witch Clan. After all, in the primordial world, the strong are respected, and strength is the key. Moreover, the creation of the human race is also the work of the Creation Immortals."

Di Qing was well aware of the reasons behind his choice. The divine system was originally created to address the difficulty the Wu Clan faced in cultivating their divine souls and breaking through to higher levels.

However, the divine system is not yet perfect. Now, Emperor Qing is setting an example by cultivating this system and perfecting it. In this way, the Wu Clan can cultivate divine status to replace their divine soul. Only by achieving self-perfection can the Wu Clan have the opportunity to break through to higher levels.

Di Qing was very clear about his choice and knew what the current Wu Clan needed.

Upon learning of Di Qing's choice, the Primordial Body immediately said, "Since I have made my choice, then please cultivate with peace of mind. However, I should now attend to some matters concerning Buzhou."

"Under Buzhou?" Upon hearing this, Di Qing's gaze instantly shifted from the endless and vast primordial world to the area below Buzhou.

In an instant, Di Qing saw that Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin had also attempted to climb Mount Buzhou at some point. Clearly, Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin also wanted to imitate Di Qing and achieve the Hunyuan Realm.

Unfortunately, neither of them possessed the foundation and accumulation of Di Qing. Even after digesting their three old bodies, they only managed to climb halfway up Buzhou Mountain.

Having paid such a high price, they only climbed halfway up the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar. Reaching the summit of Buzhou is simply impossible.

Di Qing gazed intently, a change in his eyes: "Send them to the foot of Buzhou Mountain. Then send me there."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Although the original body's cultivation level far surpasses that of the newly reborn Di Qing, it is still Di Qing's original body and must obey Di Qing's orders.

With a flick of his finger, Hunyuan Jiuti transported Dijiang and Zhujiuyin from the mountainside of Buzhou Tianzhu to the foot of Buzhou Mountain. Diqing, too, turned and arrived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

After falling to the foot of Buzhou Mountain, many ancestral witches saw the defeated Dijiang and Zhujiuyin, as well as the newly born Diqing.

The ancestral witches turned their heads, staring at Di Qing's change in expression. They disregarded Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin and asked, "Di Qing, what's wrong with you...?"

Di Qing clenched his fist, feeling his current weakness, and smiled, "It's nothing. I merely severed my original self at the Primordial Chaos Realm, transforming it into the Primordial Chaos Old Body. I then re-evolved my new self. It's just like practicing the Body-Severing Enlightenment Technique again."

"This, this is also possible. You are at the Primordial Chaos Realm, yet you have actually severed your Primordial Chaos Realm self into your old body. What is this..." Zhu Jiuyin disregarded his own defeat and spoke with a solemn expression.

"No need to overthink it. The reason I did this is to cultivate the Three Thousand Great Daos and various systems. Then, I will use the Great Daos to achieve Hunyuan (Primordial Chaos). Afterwards, I will replenish myself, merge with the Dao, and become even stronger." Di Qing didn't want to explain too much; after all, he made the decision, and there was no need for further explanation. Instead, he looked at Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin: "What's wrong with you two? Why did you suddenly climb the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar?"

"This... this is because we were stuck in a bottleneck in our cultivation, and we were thinking of imitating Brother Di Qing to climb the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar and then break through our limits. Unfortunately, we failed." Di Jiang said bitterly, his expression filled with helplessness.

Zhu Jiuyin smiled bitterly, "I really didn't expect the pressure from the imprint of the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar to be so strong. We couldn't even withstand it after climbing halfway. It's unimaginable how much hardship the Di Qing brothers endured when they climbed it back then."

"You lot!" Di Qing's eyes were solemn, and he sighed softly, unsure of what to say. "Back then, I said that with your accumulated experience and foundation, it would be impossible for you to climb to the summit of Buzhou. Yet you took it upon yourselves to choose to climb Buzhou directly. Not only did you fail, but you also wasted the three ancient bodies you severed."

"I, I..." Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin were speechless after being scolded by Di Qing, unable to utter a single word. Even though they were born earlier than Di Qing, they couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal when being reprimanded by him.

Xuanming then stepped forward to comfort him: "Diqing, in truth, Dijiang and Zhujiuyin were also doing this for us, trying to see if we could climb to the summit of Buzhou Mountain with our current accumulation. It's a pity we failed. However, we Ancestral Witches have truly reached a bottleneck in our cultivation; no matter how we cultivate, it's difficult to make any further progress."

"Yes! It's really painful for us to be limited by such a bottleneck. Brother Diqing, where exactly are we lacking? And how can we climb to the top of Buzhou Mountain and enter the Hunyuan Realm like you?" Zhurong also asked.

Di Qing looked at them and didn't hide anything: "You lack a divine soul. The reason I was able to successfully climb to the top of Buzhou Mountain is entirely because I cultivated my essence, energy, and spirit to the extreme, making myself perfect and unparalleled, without finding a single flaw."

"Your souls are incomplete; even if you cultivate your physical bodies, magical power, and the Great Dao to their peak, it's simply not enough to meet the requirements for further advancement. Although you may think that the Great Dao you cultivate can replace your soul, the Great Dao is, in a sense, also an external thing. Only your own essence, energy, and spirit truly belong to you."

"No matter how high one cultivates the Great Dao, if one is not perfect, it is like a cauldron with a hole, unable to bear more foundation and accumulation."

Silence fell over all the ancestral witches. They had considered before that the deficiency in their divine souls might be their weakness. However, from their birth until now, although they did not cultivate their divine souls, their physical bodies alone were powerful enough to surpass countless cultivators in the primordial world.

But their current defeat, and Di Qing's words, made them realize that a flawed soul is a flaw. Without repair, it's impossible to achieve Hunyuan (Primordial Chaos).

"Sigh..." Zhu Jiuyin sighed deeply, his eyes filled with an unimaginable helplessness: "I never imagined that a flawed soul would cause us to lose the opportunity to achieve Hunyuan!"

Zhu Jiuyin sighed, as did the other Ancestral Witches. They all seemed to be trapped in despair, unable to see the future.

Upon seeing this, Di Qing immediately reassured them, "Don't despair. The difficulty in cultivating your divine soul doesn't mean you can't reach the Primordial Chaos Realm in the future. I have found a method to replace the divine soul, and once this method is perfected, it will surely give you the opportunity to reach the Primordial Chaos Realm. For now, just wait patiently and don't act rashly."

"If you were to prematurely consume your severed old bodies like Dijiang and Zhujiuyin, your chances of achieving Hunyuan would decrease by 30%."

These words rekindled a glimmer of hope in the hearts of the many ancestral witches who had been dejected. Their gazes toward Di Qing were filled with excitement and longing.

"This, this really works?" Zhu Rong asked anxiously.

"Of course." Di Qing said with a hint of impatience, then continued, "Alright, enough of the nonsense. From now on, you should cultivate diligently. When I feel that you have accumulated enough, I will naturally allow you to climb to the summit of Buzhou."
