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

"What happened?"

Xuan Du felt a chill run down his spine, and his divine sense of the Primordial Great Luo erupted, instantly covering the entire prehistoric world!

Wherever divine sense passes, the laws of heaven and earth submit, and all living things feel a response.

But that fluctuation... had vanished without a trace.

It was as if everything just now was an illusion.

"wrong......"

Xuan Du's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were as deep as an abyss.

The perception of a Primordial Grand Luo is never wrong.

Just a moment ago, the authority of Heaven was indeed activated.

Although it was only a very brief moment, and the fluctuation was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

But that was indeed... Hongjun manipulating the Heavenly Dao!

What is he doing?

Is he calculating celestial secrets? Planning for a major catastrophe? Or is he secretly observing himself?

Countless thoughts surged in Xuandu's mind, yet he could not grasp that fleeting inspiration.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it too much."

Xuan Du slowly shook his head, suppressing his doubts.

If Hongjun truly wanted to attack him, he would never have been so secretive.

Since he chose to observe in secret, it means... he is still weighing the options and making calculations.

As long as he doesn't shake the foundation of the Heavenly Dao or threaten his position as the Dao Ancestor, he will most likely... continue to sit idly by.

Xuandu is certain that Hongjun Daozu will not attack him before the Investiture of the Gods.

After all, the path to the Central Sect was originally one of immense fortune.

Why was it only during the Investiture of the Gods that the Jie Sect was destroyed, the Tongtian Sect Leader was imprisoned, and only the Holy Mother of Wudang was left to eke out a living?

This must be related to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's union with the Dao.

This is also why Xuandu was relatively safe before the great calamity of the wind.

Let's take it one step at a time.

With his thoughts settled, Xuandu didn't linger any longer and took a step forward.

"Whoosh."

A crack silently appeared in the void.

The figure in green slowly faded away.

......

Thirty-three heavens away, Zixiao Palace.

The palaces were suspended in the endless chaotic air currents, surrounded by purple mist and permeated with the charm of Taoism.

The palace gates were tightly shut, and there was eternal silence.

Only deep within the palace, on that prayer mat, did a blurry figure sit quietly cross-legged.

The figure was devoid of light and aura, as if it had merged with the chaos.

Only one pair of eyes slowly opened.

His eyes held neither sorrow nor joy, neither self nor other, only a vast expanse of light... the image of the cycle of heaven.

"Xuan Du..."

A soft whisper echoed quietly through the silent palace.

The sound was very soft, yet it seemed to carry the weight of the entire primordial world.

Hongjun Daozu slowly raised his hand, and in his palm, the phantom of a broken jade disc slowly emerged.

The surface of the disc is covered with intricate patterns of the Great Dao, representing all the causes and effects and all the trajectories since the beginning of time.

It is indeed the Jade Disc of Creation!

Although it is incomplete, the Heavenly Authority contained within it is still enough to make even a sage bow down.

"Martial arts...humanity...authentic..."

Hongjun's gaze was calm, reflecting the countless fine points and threads of light on the jade disc.

Those points of light represent all living beings in the primordial world.

Those threads represent the entanglement of cause and effect.

And this moment.

In the center of the jade disc, a crimson-gold spot of light was radiating an unprecedentedly dazzling brilliance!

Around the point of light, countless fine golden threads spread out.

It connects with the light points of billions of humans, the light points of thousands of immortals of the Jie Sect, and faintly resonates with the Netherworld Blood Sea and the ancestral land of Buzhou Mountain!

That crimson-gold light spot was none other than Xuandu!

"A century of primordial chaos, a fortune as vast as the sea, awakening humanity, accelerating the passage of time..."

Hongjun murmured to himself, each word seemingly expounding some profound truth of the universe:

"This child... has become the greatest variable in the primordial world."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the other areas of the jade disc.

In the direction of Kunlun Mountain, a jade-colored light spot is flashing wildly, its murderous intent lurking.

On Mount Sumeru in the west, two golden beams of light intertwine and rotate, a symbol of greed and scheming.

In the Nuwa Palace, a dim, seven-colored light surged with resentment, but it was too late to reverse the situation.

On Shouyang Mountain, a purple light spot lay silent as death, with only a trace of regret and resentment quietly permeating the air.

"The saints each harbor their own ulterior motives; a great calamity is about to begin, and undercurrents are surging..."

Hongjun slowly shook his head, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever:

"Unfortunately... you miscalculated one thing."

He raised his finger and gently touched the red-gold spot in the center of the jade plate.

"The path this child follows, though it defies the heavens, is in accordance with the Dao."

"It is in harmony with the Great Dao, the perfect Dao that should have existed in the primordial world."

As soon as he finished speaking, the jade disc trembled slightly.

On the disc, the patterns representing the laws of heaven quietly flowed, creating a subtle resonance with the martial arts aura emanating from the crimson gold light spot in Xuandu.

It was as if it were acknowledging, accepting, and guiding.

"Only when the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man coexist can the primordial world truly endure."

Hongjun withdrew his finger, his gaze returning to its indifferent state.

"Xuandu is accelerating the restoration of the underground passages and awakening the will of humanity; this is the general trend."

"Why should I obstruct you?"

He slowly closed his eyes, and his body once again merged with the chaotic energy.

Only the last whisper lingered in the palace:

"However... the next great calamity after the Lich Calamity is the most important one."

"This child's fortune is too strong, and the variables are too great. If left to develop unchecked, it may disrupt the calamities and affect the arrangements of Heaven..."

"Besides, after the next great calamity, fortune will be of no use to me."

The palaces returned to deathly silence.

Only the illusory image of the floating Jade Disc of Creation continued to slowly rotate.

On the disc's surface, countless threads of cause and effect intertwine, collide, and evolve...

Ultimately, a completely unprecedented... God-Declaration Killing Scheme was quietly sketched out!
