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

Tongtian spoke, his voice calm, yet tinged with barely suppressed excitement:

"it is good."

"With your words, I am relieved."

He paused, then looked up at Xuandu:

"What are your plans next?"

Xuan Du smiled slightly upon hearing this.

The smile was faint, yet it carried a profound understanding that saw through everything.

"No rush."

He spoke, his voice calm:

"The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods has not yet begun."

"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had not yet been born."

"The true sage has not yet returned to his rightful place."

"Humanity has not yet awakened."

Everything is on track.

"This disciple only needs to wait."

"Wait for the sages of the earth to return to their positions, for humanity to awaken, and for the balance to be achieved among the three paths of heaven, earth, and humanity."

"At that time, even if the Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself arrives, he will not be able to control the Jie Sect."

"Even if it is the will of Heaven, don't even think about plotting against the human race."

Tongtian gazed at him, remaining silent for a long time.

He nodded slowly.

"it is good."

"I'll be waiting for you."

"Wait until you lead the Jie Sect to that point."

"When you allow the human race to truly stand at the pinnacle of the primordial world."

"Wait until you achieve true balance among the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man."

"When you make this primordial world no longer solely ruled by the Heavenly Dao."

Xuan Du bowed slightly:

"This disciple will certainly live up to Master's expectations."

He straightened up and looked up at Tongtian.

"Master, there is one more thing."

Tongtian's eyes flickered slightly:

"What is it?"

Xuandu said:

"This disciple wishes to go to the underworld."

"To meet the Goddess Houtu."

Tongtian nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Go."

"The affairs of the underworld are now entrusted to you."

"Your master is on Jin'ao Island, waiting for your return."

Xuan Du nodded, turned around, and took a step forward.

The void rippled silently.

The figure in green vanished from Biyou Palace in an instant.

......

The cycle of rebirth in the six realms.

On the Samsara Seal, the six paths of light revolve endlessly.

Houtu sat cross-legged, her pale yellow robes hanging down, and the karmic patterns around her body flowed as if they were real.

Those hazy, dark eyes were slightly closed, but beneath that closedness lay a calm that could settle billions of dollars.

The peak of the ninth level of the Earthly Saint realm.

Half-step tunnel.

He was at the same level as Hongjun Daozu.

Since reaching the pinnacle of her cultivation, her progress has been rapid.

After the shackles that bound her to the Netherworld Billion Dollar Society were broken, her path was no longer hindered.

With the essence of the earth bestowed upon him, he holds the power of reincarnation, and all beings in the Nine Netherworlds submit to him.

She is the master of the earth.

It is the supreme being who holds the reincarnation of life and death.

It is an existence that can rival Hongjun.

But at this moment, she was waiting.

Waiting for someone.

"Buzz".

Houtu slowly opened her eyes.

A faint glimmer of light flashed deep within those chaotic-colored eyes.

She sensed it.

That aura was coming from the direction of Jin'ao Island.

They traversed the barriers of the underworld, crossed the road to the Yellow Springs, and crossed the River of Oblivion, getting closer and closer to the location of the Seal of Reincarnation.

She was all too familiar with that aura.

They are so familiar with each other that even after spending tens of thousands of yuan, they will not forget a single detail.

Xuandu.

Houtu slowly curled a smile at the corners of her mouth.

The smile was faint, yet it carried a hint of expectation.

Tens of thousands of yuan.

Since Xuandu left the primordial world and entered the chaos, tens of thousands of Yuanhui have been established.

Tongtian announced that Xuandu had gone into seclusion on Jin'ao Island to comprehend the Great Dao of Hunyuan and strive for a higher realm.

All living beings in the primordial world believed.

I believe it.

Yuanshi believed.

They received the letter from Cundi.

Even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun believed it.

Because of the concealment of the Chaos Pearl, no one could sense Xuan Du's aura.

Because Tongtian protected Jin'ao Island with the Zhuxian Sword Formation, cutting off all detection.

Because the Chaos Bell, suspended in the pivot of destiny, still shone brightly and was connected to Xuan Du's mind, proving that he was still alive.

Alive, yet in seclusion.

This is a consensus among many powerful beings in the primordial world.

But Houtu knew.

Xuandu is not on Jin'ao Island.

Not in the primordial wilderness.

He was in chaos.

In that boundless, treacherous chaos.

Because after she achieved perfection in the Earthly Dao, she became connected to the primordial earth veins and the origin of reincarnation.

Within the primordial world, the presence of any living being could not escape her perception.

But Xuan Du's aura disappeared.

They vanished without a trace.

It's as if it never existed.

She once asked Tongtian.

Tongtian only uttered four words: "In the midst of chaos."

Houtu then understood.

Xuandu went to Chaos.

Go seek the opportunities within the chaos, gather the beings within the chaos, and walk the path no one has ever walked before.

She then stopped asking.

Just wait.

Waiting for the return of the Earthly Sages, for the awakening of the Humanity, for the eventual balance of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

Waiting for Xuandu to return.

Now, he's back.

"Buzz".

The void rippled silently.

A figure in green robes slowly emerged from the ripples.

Xuandu landed in front of the Reincarnation Seal, standing with his hands behind his back, his blue robes fluttering slightly, and his black hair flowing over his shoulders.

He raised his eyes, looked at the pale yellow figure, and bowed slightly:

"Empress Houtu".

Houtu looked at him, her eyes flickering slightly.

She sensed it.

Sensing the aura emanating from that figure in green, it was a Primordial Golden Immortal, Seventh Heaven.

Seventh Heaven!

Houtu was stunned.

A flicker of disbelief and horror flashed deep within those chaotic-colored eyes.

Seven Heavens?

How is that possible?

She remembers it clearly.

When Xuandu left the prehistoric world, he was only at the third level of the Hunyuan Daluo Heaven.

Tens of thousands of yuan were spent, from the third heaven to the seventh heaven.

Break through four minor realms.

In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, breaking through four minor realms with tens of thousands of yuan is fast, but not impossible.

But that is the Primordial Great Luo.

It is the supreme Dao that transcends the Heavenly Dao and is not limited by the status of a sage.

Every breakthrough in a minor realm requires endless origin, endless accumulation, and endless opportunities.

Even a chaotic demon god like Yang Mei Daoist took countless eons to go from the third heaven to the seventh heaven.

How long did it take for Ke Xuan to use?

Several cycles.

However, it took only a few decades.

Houtu took a deep breath, suppressing the surging astonishment in her heart, and slowly spoke:

"Fellow Taoist Xuandu."

"You've gained a lot from this trip into chaos."

Xuan Du smiled slightly:

"Your Majesty flatters me."

"I was just lucky."

Houtu gently shook her head:

"luck?"

"In the primordial world, there are countless beings who possess great destiny."

"Throughout history, you are probably the only one who has reached such a state."

She paused, her gaze deepening slightly:

"Tongtian has told me about your matter."

"He claimed to the outside world that you were in seclusion, but in reality you went to Chaos."

"This trip will cost tens of thousands of yuan."

"During that time, I deduced your whereabouts several times."

"But the secrets of heaven are chaotic and indistinct."

"I just assumed you were using the Chaos Pearl to conceal your true intentions and didn't want anyone to know."

"Now it seems..."

She gazed at Xuandu, a flash of understanding crossing her eyes:

"You went to the depths of chaos."

"They went to a place I couldn't even perceive."

Xuan Du nodded:

"Your Majesty is wise."

"This disciple has indeed gone to the depths of chaos."

"And I encountered quite a few... interesting beings."

Houtu's eyes flickered slightly:

"An interesting existence?"

Xuan Du smiled slightly:

"Taowu, Qiongqi, Chaos."

"The three ferocious beasts are now all under my tutelage."

Houtu's pupils constricted slightly.

The Four Ferocious Beasts wreaked havoc on the primordial world during the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts, causing countless deaths.

Later, Shenni and the four ferocious beasts suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The allied forces of all races searched the entire wilderness but could not find their whereabouts.

She believed that they had been wiped out by the will of Heaven.

She believed that they had already perished in the great calamity.

She believed that the culprit behind the great calamity of the ferocious beasts had long since become history.

But now, Xuandu told her.

Taotie, Qiongqi, and Hundun are still alive.

And they survived for hundreds of millions of yuan amidst the chaos.

And now, they have all become disciples of the Jie Sect.

He became a disciple of Xuandu.
