Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

Chapter 362 [Morality Resides in the World, Nuwa Settles the Matter]

The war in the human world continues. As the Jiuli Divine Dynasty's military formations become more and more skillful, the Asuras, representing the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty, suffer repeated defeats, while the Jiuli Divine Dynasty's shamans are in high spirits.

Fearless and skilled in killing are the strengths of Asuras, but being fearless does not mean they are truly invincible!

Faced with the overwhelming force of an army, the strength of an individual appears extremely insignificant.

Even if each Asura could take on ten men, they would be instantly crushed into a pool of blood when faced with Chi You's terrifying army!

"It feels so good to win without even trying!"

As the Asura army suffered repeated defeats, Fuzhang merely followed behind Chiyou's army, yet the Asura clan's fortune began to surge towards him.

That's how the Asura race works: the victor is king, and the loser is reduced to dust. The Asura army under Haotian suffered defeat after defeat in the great battle, and their fortune continued to dissipate. As for Fuzhang, now that they are under Chiyou's command, they can naturally represent the victor and receive all the fortune of the losers.

Fu Zhang is currently only at the Asura King level, equivalent to a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the Immortal Dao. The reason he was able to fight against the Holy Mother of Taiyuan was because he borrowed the profound mysteries of the Wind Origin Dao Fruit and the Earth Origin Dao Fruit.

But now, with Haotian's forces defeated and Chiyou's army advancing relentlessly, and with the blessing of the Asura clan's fortune, he is only one step away from truly becoming a great supernatural being!

During this time, Xuanyuan was not idle either. After deciding to cultivate the demonic path, he took the initiative to fight against the Asuras in the army formation.

With the defeat of the Asuras under Haotian Mo, he also gained considerable benefits!

He did not rush to break through to the Great Luo realm, but instead wanted to use the three proofs of Taiyi in the demonic path to increase his foundation after breaking through to the Great Luo realm as much as possible.

Before this, he had cultivated both the Immortal and Divine paths. Leaving aside the Immortal path for now, he had also been involved in the three branches of the Divine path: Human God, Witch God, and Ancestral God.

With the blessing of the Youxiong Divine Dynasty, his cultivation of the divine path progressed by leaps and bounds, and he broke through to the Taiyi realm in a short time.

When fortune smiles, heaven and earth lend their strength; when fortune turns, even heroes are powerless. As long as there is enough luck, all spirits will turn to you. That's how unreasonable the progress of the divine path is.

In the immortal path system, he did not cultivate the Heavenly Immortal Path, but instead cultivated the Human Immortal Path, which was created by the True Martial Emperor and whose great power returned to himself.

The two paths of Human Immortal and Human God have many similarities, and the Path of Witch God is also similar to these two paths. The strength of the physical body far surpasses that of other cultivators of the same level!

Xuanyuan possesses the strengths of all three, making him naturally powerful. Moreover, what he did for the human race triggered the passive effect of the Ancestral God's Great Dao.

As long as he is devoted to humanity, and humanity is grateful for his kindness, the Great Dao of Ancestral God will give him good feedback regardless of his aptitude.

Of course, his demonic cultivation also progressed extremely rapidly. The constant killing and death on the battlefield was undoubtedly the most suitable breeding ground for the growth of demonic cultivation.

Especially after killing two Asuras at the Taiyi realm, he went straight to the Six Desires Heavenly Demonic Path Fruit.

On the other side, seeing the Asura army retreating in defeat, Haotian did not panic. Instead, he used his immortal magic to enlighten a group of fearless Dao soldiers.

As a near-saint level expert, he can enlighten Dao soldiers according to his own will.

Even a scarecrow, under his magical blessing, can fight against immortals and unleash power enough to move mountains and fill seas.

no way!

Although Yuanshi Tianzun reincarnated the twenty-four Daluo into the Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty, it will take time for them to regain their Daluo power.

The physical body, primordial spirit, magical power, and Dao fruit are all indispensable. They need time for the current physical body to adapt to the former Great Luo Dao fruit.

Therefore, before those twenty-four Great Luo Immortals could truly unleash their Great Luo combat power, he had to delay the advance of Chi You's army as much as possible.

Meanwhile, Shennong and Zhen Yuanzi were also methodically establishing a new primordial five-element cycle by utilizing the mysteries of the Mountain and River Map and the Earth Book, preparing to begin the creation of the Golden Yuan World.

This is undoubtedly a great deed!

Although Shennong really wanted to do it himself, for the sake of safety and the balance of the five elements in the primordial world, he decided to ask the Tongtian Sect Leader for help.

The Guide Daoist also arrived uninvited, adding to the certainty of his plan!

He and Zhen Yuanzi mainly regulated the five elements of the primordial world and introduced the original power of the earth to the west when the Jin Yuan world was created.

The broken western ley lines have always been the weakest point of the underground passage, even though Daoist Duobao evolved a portion of the ley lines from the dragon corpse.

Therefore, if the original source of the earth wants to grow stronger, the West is the key!

The Tongtian Sect Leader was not idle either; he was using the Dao of Arrays to deduce a new Great Five Elements Cycle.

He had already planned out his path of cultivation. Now that he had successfully attained the second level of the Primordial Great Luo realm, he should start thinking about attaining it a third time!

"Opening up, dwelling in the world, and ending!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader recalled the Great Dao of the Three Pure Ones: Yuanshi Tianzun was the master of creation and the cause of all results; Taiqing Laozi was the foundation of existence and the supreme being of the world; and he was the end of heaven and earth and the end of all ages, respectively symbolizing the past, present, and future of the Primordial True Realm.

Taiqing Laozi wanted to take control of the Three Pure Ones Dao and condense the Supreme Dao Fruit by himself, and Tongtian Jiaozhu also had a similar idea.

However, except for his final journey, his path always leads to the Great Dao of Acquired Realm.

The way of the sword is unstoppable, imprinted before the beginning of time, in the chaos. In fact, it can also be seen as another form of the way of creation.

With a single sword strike, chaos is shattered and heaven and earth are separated; how could this not symbolize creation?

Moreover, the transformation of the acquired Great Dao into the innate Great Dao, and then into the Chaos Great Dao, is itself a monumental feat of creation!

Therefore, the Tongtian Sect Leader proved the end of heaven and earth with his first proof, and the beginning of the sword path with his second. His third proof should focus on the foundation of survival.

The Supreme Being of the World connects the Dao Fruit of Swordsmanship with the Dao Fruit of the End.

"Formation!"

In the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Master, the Dao of Array Formation was undoubtedly the most suitable Dao for proving the foundation of existence.

The alternation of the sun and moon, the movement of stars, the cycle of life and death, the circulation of the five elements, and the differentiation of yin and yang are all manifestations of the great forces of heaven and earth.

The Dao of Formations is the application of momentum. The Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation of the Demon Clan borrows the momentum of the stars, while the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Great Formation of the Witch Clan borrows the momentum of Pangu and the heavens and earth. When his Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was set up during the Great Tribulation, its power far exceeded that of ordinary beings, because it borrowed the momentum of the Great Tribulation!

When the immeasurable calamity arrived, he was even able to evolve the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to the point where it could kill saints, all by his own power. This was because, at that time, the world was the only great force.

Even a saint couldn't stop it!

During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, the reason he could not defeat the Four Saints was that he lost the overall momentum. If he could have summoned a momentum comparable to the immeasurable tribulation at any time, how could the Four Saints have been his match?

It would be more appropriate to have Hongjun come!

In an instant, changes in the stars, mountains and rivers, the waters, and the evil energy of heaven and earth manifested in the mind of the Tongtian Sect Leader, and then transformed into various formations!

If he could use the Dao of Arrays to interfere with the entire Primordial True World, he could naturally become a foundation for existence and a supreme being, just like Laozi of Taiqing!

but----

This is not a simple matter!

Just as Yuanshi Tianzun has already occupied the concept of the Lord of Creation, he can only possess the characteristics of creation by reversing the acquired sword path into a great path comparable to the Lord of Creation. Similarly, Taiqing Laozi has already occupied the concepts of the foundation of existence and the supreme being of the world, so it is naturally extremely difficult for him to obtain this characteristic.

If transforming the acquired Great Dao into the Chaotic Great Dao is equivalent to creating something from nothing, conjuring a position no less than that of a sage out of thin air, then shaping the characteristics of the Limitless is even more difficult.

As is well known, the most ancient origin is also the Wuji characteristic, which many great supernatural beings possess, but Yuanshi Tianzun is recognized as the oldest.

Why?

Because he is the first cause of all heavens, none of the other most ancient sources are as ancient as him, not even Laozi of Taiqing and the Tongtian Sect Master.

It wasn't until the Tongtian Sect Master attained the second level of the Hunyuan Daluo realm that he elevated the sword path to the Chaos Dao.

Cause and effect is the great Dao born from chaos. Yuanshi Tianzun can be considered the first cause in the innate world, while Tongtian Jiaozhu, by creating a chaotic Dao out of thin air, accomplished something unprecedented and became the first cause in the acquired world. This is why he also possesses the concept of the creator.

At this moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader is both the Lord of Creation and the Lord of the End, which is why he possesses the powerful ability to suppress the Primordial Heavenly Lord.

but----

The concept of "residing in the world" is different from "opening up." It is not something that can be achieved by opening up a great path and then elevating it to a level comparable to the Great Path of Chaos!

He must coexist with the world, remain eternally, and merge with the primordial true world.

In addition, one must gain Pangu's approval and become part of Pangu's Great Dao.

after all----

The Primordial Realm was created by Pangu, and the characteristics of the Three Pure Ones in creation, existence, and end were also actively bestowed upon them by the Great God Pangu.

The ability to remain in the world is the foundation of the existence of the Primordial True Realm. To obtain this ability, one must first obtain the consent of the Great God Pangu.

With his experience in swordsmanship, the Tongtian Sect Leader was actually quite confident that he could also elevate the Dao of Arrays to the Great Dao of Chaos. However, he was not so sure that he could obtain the World-Residing trait when elevating the Dao of Arrays!

This time, opening up the Golden Yuan World and reconstructing the Great Five Elements Cycle of the Primordial True Realm is Tongtian Jiaozhu's exploration of the concept of dwelling in the world.

On the other side, Taiqing Laozi was also exploring the Dao of Alchemy. He was surrounded by Primordial Chaos Fire, which was powerful enough to incinerate all the heavens, and he himself was a peerless golden elixir enveloped by the Primordial Chaos Fire.

Whether it was Dao injury or human backlash, at this moment they were like impurities in a pill, which he forcibly refined out with the help of the Primordial Dao Fire.

At this moment, his Dao body was flawless and immaculate. After shaking off the effects of the Dao injury, it exuded a boundless characteristic that neither increased nor decreased.

"The human body is the universe; if we consider the human body as the process of refining an elixir—isn't that also the process of a world's creation and its end?"

In Laozi's eyes, stars flowed and the Great Dao was born and destroyed, as if the universe was evolving within them, and countless microcosms appeared around him.

These tiny worlds sometimes transform into stars, sometimes into mustard seeds, and sometimes they come together to evolve the birth and death of the universe and the changing of eras.

In the void, countless immortal particles manifested, combining together in a peculiar way, and the Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and Spacetime Universe were derived accordingly.

This is groundbreaking!

As Taiqing Laozi's thoughts stirred slightly, timelines were created out of thin air, but the particles in the void remained motionless.

This is a living being!

After an unknown period of time, the final calamity arrived, and all the immortal particles collapsed towards one place, thus melting into an immortal golden elixir.

This is the end!

After an unknown amount of time, the golden core suddenly exploded, and the Dharma body of Taiqing Laozi manifested, just as Pangu was born from the chaotic universe.

This is the Dao of alchemy, and also the principle of the birth and death of the universe and the cycle of eras. In the eyes of those with great supernatural powers, this may be the embodiment of the Great Dao.

However, in the eyes of Laozi, the alchemy process was far from perfect.

Aside from remaining in this world, his understanding of the concepts of creation and end is still superficial, far inferior to that of Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Among them, the concept of "opening up" is slightly deeper. It refers to the boundless characteristics brought about by his spreading the myth of the Supreme Being's creation of the world throughout the myriad realms.

However, the concept of "end" is too superficial and cannot be compared with "opening up" or "remaining in the world".

It's not that he doesn't value the End, but rather that the characteristics of the End are relatively easy to obtain; one only needs to emulate the Demon Ancestor Luo's reverse refinement of the Primordial True World.

He pursued the trinity, with creation, existence, and end all being indispensable. He originally wanted to use the Supreme Dao Fruit to refine the three characteristics, but unfortunately, the foundation of the Supreme Dao Fruit was damaged.

The damage to the Dao caused by the backlash from humanity is secondary; the most important thing is that the Taiqing origin in the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones was directly annihilated!

Repairing Dao injuries through alchemy is not difficult, but how to reshape the Supreme Dao Fruit is the biggest problem troubling Laozi of Taiqing today.

Therefore, he could only settle for second best and first try to use the alchemy to achieve the second level of Hunyuan Daluo, and then use the Dao fruit after achieving the second level of Hunyuan Daluo to find a way to reproduce the origin and reshape the Supreme Dao fruit!

The Supreme Dao Fruit is extremely special. In his original calculations, if he could obtain these two proofs, his foundation would definitely not be inferior to that of the Primordial Great Luo who has obtained three proofs.

That's a realm close to that of Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

According to his speculation, if Pangu is a Hunyuan Daluo with four proofs, then Daozu Hongjun should be somewhere between three and four proofs.

However, Pangu's pursuit of ultimate power cannot be viewed in terms of simple three or four proofs, and these sages of the Xuanmen, who pursue reduction and emptiness, do not necessarily have to reach the level of Pangu!

If the opportunity is right, it's not impossible for one certificate to be as good as two, two certificates to be as good as three, or even to reach a state of transcendence!

These are two different paths!

The path of Buddhism is different. Jieyin and Zhunti do not increase their own foundation, but instead devote most of their energy to the attainment of the Buddha's enlightenment. Once the Buddha's enlightenment is perfected, it is equivalent to the attainment of the third or fourth level of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

At that time, although Jieyin and Zhunti were still at the first stage of the Primordial Great Luo Realm, they could still borrow power from Shakyamuni's Dao Fruit.

Crowdfunding to prove the truth!

This is also a path!

In Taiqing Laozi's deduction, it is not that the stronger the better. Weakness also has its advantages. Weakness means that there is less causal debt to the chaotic universe, and the difficulty of reducing and seeking emptiness is also lower than that of other sages.

However, if they are too weak, they will be unable to comprehend the profound truths of the Dao and reach the threshold of transcendence. They need to constantly weigh strength against cause and effect.

The stronger one is, the more karmic debt one owes to the chaotic universe, and the more difficult it becomes to achieve emptiness through reduction.

The weaker one's strength, the less karma one owes to the chaotic universe, but the harder it is to achieve transcendence.

This is the point of contention for all the sages.

Until the very end, no one knows whether it is better to prove the Way through force, to seek emptiness through reduction, or whether the Western method is superior.

They are all people walking on the road!

But now that Nuwa and Tongtian Jiaozhu have both completed their two certifications, if his strength hasn't undergone any qualitative change, he will naturally be unable to compete with them for the right to interpret the Heavenly Dao in the future!

Therefore, Laozi Taiqing decided to first increase his strength and do things to reduce and seek emptiness. Without the right people and the right time, it would be difficult to take the first step, let alone completely sever cause and effect!

During this time, he had seen the plans of Yuanshi Tianzun, the responses of Houtu, and the importance that Tongtian Jiaozhu and Jieyin Daoren attached to the Great Five Elements Cycle in the Primordial World. The reason he did not intervene was that he was waiting for an opportunity that would make the saints too busy to deal with it!

Only in that way can he attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit of the Primordial Dao through both alchemy and cultivation!

Upon realizing that the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Guide Daoist were preparing to create the Golden Yuan World, he immediately and quietly went to the place where the creation of heaven and earth was taking place.

The Dao of Alchemy is the Dao of Acquired Nature. In the hands of Laozi of Taiqing, it has long been transformed into the Dao of Innate Nature. However, if he wants to transform it into the Dao of Chaos, he must emulate the Tongtian Sect Master and imprint it into the origin of chaos.

He certainly wouldn't be up to the task on his own; he would need to go back to before the creation of the world and borrow Pangu's power to shake the origin of the chaotic universe.

"They're here!"

Sensing the actions of the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Guide Daoist, Chi You couldn't help but laugh loudly, "The opportunity to break the Primordial Earth Formation has arrived!"

Without the slightest hesitation, after sensing the tremors of the primordial earth veins, Chi You immediately ordered the Jiuli army under Moxia to seize the key earth vein nodes.

"open!"

In the western part of Guixu, the Tongtian Sect Leader unleashed a sword strike, instantly generating the power of creation, which landed directly on the golden core formed from the origin of the Golden Demon God.

In an instant, chaos was dispelled, yin and yang emerged, and the vast and incomparable source of metal transformed into array patterns that evolved and stabilized the world.

One sword can cleave the heavens!

A single thought can create an array!

When the two come together, the world is born; heaven and earth separate; the universe is opened; and purity and turbidity begin to emerge.

The sword light evolved with the power of creation, the array patterns covered the sky and sun, stabilized the void, and guided the origin of the Golden Demon God to expand continuously in all directions.

Of course, the Guide Daoist was not idle either. He used the Great Dao of Gold to help the Tongtian Sect Master embed the Gold Yuan World into the Great Five Elements Cycle of the Primordial True World.

In addition, in other worlds, there are powerful beings who suppress and guide the flow of energy.

In the Water Element World, there is Wuzhiqi; in the Fire Element World, there is Suirenshi; in the Earth Element World, there is Doraemon, who borrows the profound Dao Fruit of the Earth Element; and in the Wood Element World, there is the Western Medicine Master.

As for Shennong and Zhen Yuanzi, they acted as mediators, one stabilizing the power of the five elements in the heavens and the other stabilizing the power of the five elements on earth.

The ten spirit witches, symbolizing the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, were also at full power, and under Kong Xuan's leadership, they did their best to suppress the primordial Five Elements origin.

no way!

With the mountain god of Buzhou Mountain, Xuan Yin, absent, and Doraemon Dream Celestial Venerable using the power of the Earthly Dao Fruit to suppress the Earthly Element World, the most suitable person to regulate the Five Elements became Xuan Yin's assistant god—Kong Xuan!

The innate five-colored divine light was incomparably brilliant, directly transforming into rainbow bridges that connected the ten spirit witches and the place of suppression of the twelve-year-old.

Under the guidance of the Tongtian Sect Leader and with the cooperation of everyone, the newly born Golden Yuan World successfully integrated into the Five Elements Great Cycle of the Primordial True World.

In an instant, the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao exerted their power together, sorting out the Five Elements order of the primordial world, and the power of the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao materialized.

Even the originally barren western lands are now teeming with innate spiritual energy.

This is the tunnel working its power!

The way of Heaven, on the other hand, sends down showers of sweet dew to nourish the barren western land.

Earth generates metal, and metal generates water. These sweet dews contain the power of the Heavenly Order, further strengthening the Great Five Elements Cycle of the Primordial True Realm.

The entire prehistoric world presented a vigorous and prosperous trend, except for the battlefield where the Nine Li Divine Dynasty and the Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty were fighting.

And the beginning of time!

During the reconstruction of the Great Five Elements cycle in the Primordial World, the Four-Unlikes, who wielded the Qilin Seal, instantly lost control of the Innate Earth Array.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao dominate everything. Even though he holds the Qilin Seal, he cannot mobilize the power of the earth veins near the Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chi You led the Jiuli army to wreak havoc in all directions and used the Gan Erdu Heavenly God and Demon Banner to fix several key earth vein nodes.

In this way, the Four Unlikes will not be able to re-set up the Primordial Earth Formation!

At the same time, at the very beginning of creation, Taiqing Laozi, who was trying to use Pangu's power to reveal the origin of the chaotic universe, was also struck by Nuwa!

Nuwa, holding a red embroidered ball, sneered, "Fellow Daoist Taiqing, you've chosen a good time, but do you think you can hide it from my discerning eyes? Today is the perfect day to settle the score for the past grievances that hindered your path!"

Boom!

The red embroidered ball flew out instantly, shattering the chaotic void, and endless divine lightning of creation manifested, clearly intending to stop Taiqing Laozi from using his own imprint to guide the remaining power of Pangu's creation of the world.

Seeing this, Taiqing Laozi had no choice but to use the Two Elements Micro Dust Array to temporarily resist, and the Primordial Qi Taiqing Divine Talisman instantly separated the chaotic Yin and Yang.

But Nuwa, having decided to take action, would not give up because of a large formation.

The Primordial Holy Sword flew out, directly carrying the profound mysteries of Nuwa's two Dao Fruits, and slashed towards the great formation with unparalleled power.
