Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Once his thoughts settled, Xuan Du's expression returned to normal.

"There's nothing bothering me. It's just that when Fellow Daoist Fuxi joined us just now, I had some feelings and gained some new insights into the integration of martial arts and the way of deduction."

His voice was calm, and the primordial Daoist rhythm flowed naturally, completely concealing the momentary fluctuation.

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not press the matter further.

With Xuandu's current level of cultivation, ordinary insights are fleeting, but they may also be opportunities for breakthroughs.

There's a reason why they're unwilling to discuss it in detail.

He paused for a moment, then changed the subject, his voice becoming more serious:

"You publicly deposed Nuwa, causing her to fall from her holy realm and nearly sever her path."

"She is, after all, a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, and even more so, a Heavenly Dao Saint."

"Although your actions are in line with the general trend of humanity, they have still damaged the reputation of Zixiao Palace."

"Will Dao Ancestor Hongjun harbor any resentment because of this?"

Tongtian frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

What Xuandu did today was exhilarating, shaking the primordial world and enhancing the prestige of the Jie Sect.

However, the consequences were quite significant.

Abolishing Laozi's Humanist Sect and beheading Nuwa, the Holy Mother, is tantamount to tearing off the masks of two Heavenly Saints in succession, and it also shakes the foundation of the Xuanmen established by Hongjun Daozu.

Although Hongjun was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao and was indifferent and ruthless, he was ultimately the ancestor of the Xuanmen Dao and held the order of the primordial world.

Would he sit idly by and watch Xuan Du act so recklessly?

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du slowly raised his eyes.

His gaze pierced through the many restrictions of Biyou Palace, looking towards that dark and unfathomable place beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

There, the Purple Cloud Palace stands, with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun presiding over it, overlooking the vast primordial world.

"Master is overthinking it."

Xuan Du shook his head slightly, his voice calm, yet carrying a penetrating certainty:

"The Dao Ancestor...would not make things difficult for me because of this."

"At least not right now."

Tongtian's eyes narrowed: "Why?"

Xuandu withdrew his gaze and looked at Tongtian, his eyes swirling with chaotic light, reflecting the silent, surging Daoist aura of the sages within Biyou Palace:

"Master should know that the creation of the primordial world should have been jointly governed by the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man to maintain balance, which is the way to long-term peace and stability."

"After the great calamity of the ferocious beasts, the Heavenly Dao was the first to recover, taking control of the power and suppressing the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao to the tune of billions."

"The underground passages are hidden in the deepest hell, silent and still; the human path is scattered among all living beings, yet they remain unaware and confused."

"This is an imbalance."

He paused, his voice turning deep:

"Prolonged imbalance will inevitably have a backlash."

"When I established my martial path, Heaven sent down a calamity, intending to destroy the newly born laws, which I instinctively rejected."

"When I attained the Primordial Chaos Realm, the Great Dao's Judgment was a test of my qualifications as a transcendent being, and also... an examination of the primordial laws system."

"And at the moment I broke through to the Primordial Grand Luo realm, and invoked the will of the Great Dao to descend upon the primordial world..."

A cold smile slowly curved Xuan Du's lips:

"The Way of Heaven can no longer suppress the Way of Earth and the Way of Humanity as it did in the past."

"Under the watchful gaze of the Great Dao, all things take shape, and the laws are revealed."

"If Heaven continues to suppress it, it will be going against the fundamental order established by the Great Dao, and will inevitably suffer a backlash from the Great Dao."

"At that time, even if the Dao Ancestor merely merges with the Heavenly Dao, or even if he merges with the Dao with his body, he will still find it difficult to escape the punishment of the Great Dao."

His words resounded like thunder in Tongtian's heart!

His pupils contracted sharply, and his sword intent erupted uncontrollably, tearing countless fine cracks into the void around him!

Yes!

How could he have forgotten that!

When Xuandu attained the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos, the pressure of the Great Dao that covered the primordial world and made all the saints feel awe was immense!

That was not merely a punishment, but rather... a "gaze" from the Great Dao upon the current state of the primordial world!

Under the gaze of such supreme beings, all laws, all order, and all secrets of the primordial world... have nowhere to hide!

The current situation where the Heavenly Way is dominant and suppresses the Earthly Way and the Human Way will inevitably be clearly perceived by the Great Dao!

But the Great Dao... will never allow this imbalance to continue!

"so......"

Tongtian slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his eyes still filled with shock:

"Not only will the Dao Ancestor not reprimand you for deposing Nuwa and beheading Laozi, but... he will tacitly allow you to accelerate the awakening of the Earthly Dao and the awakening of humanity?"

"Because only when the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity coexist can the primordial world truly achieve balance, and only then... can it conform to the expectations of the Great Dao?"

"good."

Xuan Du nodded slightly:

"The Dao Ancestor merged with the Heavenly Dao, seeking only the stability of the primordial order and the eternal existence of heaven and earth."

"Today, the Heavenly Dao is dominant and seems stable, but in reality, it is fraught with hidden dangers. The Earthly Dao is dormant, the Human Dao is not yet awakened, and the Primordial Law System is incomplete, like walking with a limp, and it will collapse sooner or later."

"I awakened humanity and accelerated the restoration of the earthly path. Although it may shake the Xuanmen structure in the short term and cause turmoil among the saints, in the long run... it will complete the foundation of the primordial world, reduce the burden on the Heavenly Dao, and is what the Great Dao is happy to see."

He paused, his gaze deep:

"What kind of person is the Dao Ancestor? How could he go against the tide of history for the sake of temporary face or gain?"

"The abolition of Nuwa's position as the Holy Mother was due to the backlash of her own karma, the severing of her path, and also a compromise between the Heavenly Way and the awakening of the Human Way."

"The destruction of Laozi's Human Sect is due to the dereliction of duty by the Human Sect. They enjoyed the fortune of the human race but did not bear the responsibility. They deserved this calamity."

"If the Dao Ancestor truly makes things difficult for me because of this, then he would be going against the great trend of the awakening of humanity, against the predetermined fate of the revival of the earth, and even more so... against the will of the Great Dao!"

With the last four words, Xuan Du's voice suddenly turned fierce, like ancient ice, freezing the soul!

Tongtian's mind trembled violently, and the sword intent of Qingping in his sleeve surged forth!

He stared intently at Xuan Du, his eyes flashing with a sharp light!

That's it!

It turns out that everything Xuandu did, seemingly reckless and radical, was actually... a complete calculation of the primordial trend, the will of the Great Dao, and even the thoughts of the Dao Ancestor!

Dethrone Laozi, slay Nuwa, accelerate the restoration of the underground passage, and awaken the will of humanity...

All of this is not going against the will of Heaven, but rather... in accordance with the Great Dao, and to complete the primordial world!

Dao Ancestor Hongjun will not only not stop it, but may even secretly... add fuel to the fire!

"Well... well, Xuan Du is something else!"

Tongtian clapped his hands and laughed loudly, his voice echoing throughout the Azure River:

"A century-long plan, meticulously executed step by step, you even outsmarted the Dao Ancestor's thoughts!"

"With such a disciple, what worries do we, the Jie Sect, have about not prospering? What fear do we have of countless eons?"

The laughter was hearty, filled with undisguised joy and elation.

Xuan Du remained calm, showing no sign of smugness.

He slowly raised his head, gazing at the endless sky outside the palace. His eyes were filled with a chaotic light, reflecting the ineffable supreme being.

"I dare not speak presumptuously about the Dao Ancestor's thoughts."

"But under the Great Dao, all things have their own order."

"The path I follow is merely to seize a sliver of opportunity for the primordial world to achieve perfection, and to lay the foundation for eternal peace for the human race."

"Go with the flow and rise by taking advantage of the trend, that's all."

After he finished speaking, Biyou Palace fell silent once again.

Only the vast and boundless fortune of the Jie Sect surged silently, resonating and blending with the primordial Daoist aura surrounding Xuandu, with faint Daoist patterns appearing.

The Master of Heaven stood silently for a long time before finally nodding slowly.

"In that case, go ahead and do it."

"The Jie Sect is your strongest support."

"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is ready to be activated for you at any time."

The voice was calm, yet carried a resolute determination.

Xuan Du felt a warmth in his heart and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Master."

He knew that Tongtian's words were no exaggeration.

The fact that the Jie sect protects its own is known to all throughout history.

To protect his disciples, the Tongtian Sect Leader dared to set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and oppose the Four Saints. Such courage and decisiveness would make even the Saints wary.

With the Jie Sect as his backing and the Zhuxian Sword Formation as his reliance, he could act with greater ease.

"but......"

Tongtian abruptly changed the subject, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes:

"Although the Dao Ancestor will not openly obstruct it, the other sages... may not sit idly by."

"Yuanshi, Laozi, and even Jieyin and Zhunti have all suffered losses and lost their dignity because of your actions."

"A great calamity is approaching, and the secrets of heaven are in chaos. If they secretly join forces and lay a trap..."

He paused, then didn't continue.

But how could Xuandu not understand the meaning behind it?

It is no easy task for all the saints to join forces.

However, if interests align and grudges are intertwined, anything can happen in the great vortex of a calamity.

"Disciple understands."

Xuan Du slowly raised his eyes, his gaze filled with a chaotic light that flowed like the rise and fall of stars.

"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

"If they really dare to come..."

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips:

"My Grand Luo Realm is lacking a few... whetstones."

The sound was calm, yet it carried a chillingly domineering aura.

It was as if all the saints were nothing more than stepping stones that he could manipulate at will.

Upon hearing this, Tongtian was first taken aback, then burst into laughter:

"Excellent! What spirit!"

"In that case, I will wait and see!"
