Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 62 062 Demonic Path Primordial Scheme

After Kunpeng's death, Wei Guang immediately put away the Hetu and Luoshu, as they were related to the Emperor's subsequent attainment of enlightenment and could not fall into the hands of others.

As for the other spiritual treasures, Wei Guang did not try to seize them, and they eventually fell into the hands of Haotian and the other two.

They came to support him, after all. Even though a fight didn't break out, we can't let them come all this way for nothing. That's called social etiquette.

Moreover, Wei Guang had already gained a great deal, having acquired the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, the Seven Arrows Nail-Head Book, and some low-level innate spiritual treasures.

Helpless, Yang Mei could only confess that both the Immortal Path and the Demonic Path were merely projections of the original primordial world.

There are more than two such projected worlds, but they haven't found the others yet.

The beings in the projected world, and even the projected world itself, all possess the essence of the original world, though not much, but it is indeed present.

As long as you devour the same origin from other projected worlds, you will not be rejected by the Heavenly Dao of those worlds.

As for how they found the Immortal Dao Primordial World, there was a lot of luck involved, and the blame can only be placed on Yang Mei of the Immortal Dao Primordial World.

That guy somehow ended up in the Demonic Primordial World, where he was eventually killed by the saints of the Demonic Primordial World.

After absorbing the essence of the Immortal Yang Mei, the Demonic Primordial Yang Mei obtained the coordinates of the Immortal Primordial World and then led his people over.

The rest is history.

Yang Mei infiltrated the Immortal Primordial World, hunting down figures such as Da Yi, Lu Ya, and Kun Peng, and transferring their essences to Lu Ya and others in the Demonic Primordial World, thus infiltrating the entire realm.

Hongjun asked, "What are the benefits of absorbing the source?"

"We don't know. We still haven't figured it out. We just have a feeling and a guess that maybe if we devour enough of the source, we can return to the source and turn the illusory into the real."

Yang Mei knew that Hongjun was not easily fooled, so she did not lie and focused on saving her life.

Hongjun and the others frowned slightly, but in the end, they still released Yang Mei.

They naturally didn't want to give it up, but they had no choice. Before this, they had sworn an oath to the Great Dao for the sake of intelligence.

Who would have thought that there were beings like Kunpeng and the others? If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have needed to go through so much trouble. We could have just killed Yang Mei and searched for Kunpeng and the others' souls.

Yang Mei escaped from the prehistoric world and left with Yuan Mo and the others, but Hongjun and the others knew that this was only the beginning.

Afterwards, Hongjun led the saints back to Zixiao Palace. Now that they understood the truth of the world, they needed to think carefully about what to do next.

They also brought Wei Guang back to Zixiao Palace.

After entering Zixiao Palace, Hongjun first inquired about Wei Guang's knowledge, and through mutual verification, he finally learned the specific situation of the Demonic Path in the Primordial World.

This is why Hongjun and the others fell silent.

Whether it was collapsing Mount Buzhou or suppressing the underground passages and the human realm, it was all to weaken the origin of the primordial world. As long as the primordial world's status declines, the power of the future cataclysmic calamity will naturally decrease as well.

No matter how many Primordial Chaos Golden Immortals there are, they cannot stop the ultimate catastrophe of the Supreme World.

However, no matter how much they planned, they could not have foreseen that before the final catastrophe of destruction arrived, the invasion of the Demonic Primordial Path came first. In order to resist the invasion of the Demonic Primordial Path, they could not suppress the revival of the Earthly Path and the Human Path.

Otherwise, we can't compete with high-end combat power.

The problem is that Mount Buzhou has now collapsed, and the primordial origin has been weakened once. Even if the earthly and human paths are allowed to revive, the number of Primordial Golden Immortals that can be accommodated is still less than that of the Demonic Primordial World.

In terms of high-end combat power, we still can't compare.

"Oh, right..."

Wei Guang took out the Primordial Purple Qi and looked at Hongjun: "Grandmaster, Yang Mei gave me a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi and asked me to give it to the Human Emperor. He must want to restore humanity."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun and the others frowned again.

If the Demonic Path wants to invade the Immortal Path, shouldn't it be more advantageous for them to have fewer saints in the Immortal Path? Why would they even think about restoring the Human Path?

Is there some shady business going on that they don't know about?

Hongjun took the Primordial Purple Qi and examined it carefully.

The Primordial Purple Qi is indeed the Primordial Purple Qi, but it is not the Primordial Purple Qi of the Heavenly Dao, but rather the Primordial Purple Qi of the Human Dao. Furthermore, it is not the Primordial Purple Qi of the Immortal Dao's Primordial World, but rather it comes from the Primordial World of the Demonic Dao.

In an instant, Hongjun understood.

Yang Mei wanted to make the saint of humanity in the demonic world become the spokesperson for humanity in the immortal world, so as to control humanity in the immortal world.

As for the purpose of doing this...

If the origins of all living beings can devour each other, then who says that the origins of the world cannot devour each other?

Having figured out the key point, Hongjun looked at Wei Guang and asked, "Did you make an oath?"

Wei Guang shook his head.

Hongjun nodded. Since no oath was made, it was easy to deal with; they could simply ignore it. Moreover, he could use this wisp of primordial purple energy to pinpoint the coordinates of the Demonic Primordial World.

In this way, we won't be so passive.

Hongjun looked at Laozi and said, "Go to the Underworld. Since Yang Mei has designs on the human realm, he will likely not let the Underworld go either. The Underworld must not be lost."

"Yes, teacher."

As soon as he finished speaking, Laozi's figure disappeared from Zixiao Palace. When he reappeared, he was already at the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

"Pingxin greets Fellow Daoist Taiqing." Houtu's figure emerged from the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Laozi returned the greeting and asked directly, "Fellow Daoist Pingxin, has Yang Mei ever been to the Underworld?"

Houtu nodded and said, "A mysterious fellow came by, but it's hard to be sure if it was Yang Mei. However, it seems to be him, since it seems that others don't dare to enter the prehistoric world."

"That must be him." Laozi nodded, then asked, "And what about you, fellow Daoist...?"

Houtu laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Taiqing, don't worry. I'm not stupid. I took the benefits, but I didn't agree to the deal, nor did I make any oaths or anything."

Upon hearing this, Laozi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still unsure whether what the other party said was true.

Although the underground passage has not been restored, he is far from being a match for Houtu in this underworld, and naturally cannot judge the truthfulness of her words.

Houtu naturally knew Laozi's concerns, so she said, "If Fellow Daoist Taiqing is not at ease, I can swear to the Great Dao."

She humbled herself so much not only to prove her innocence, but also to find out what really happened with Yang Mei and the others, that is, the truth of the world.

"Then I will trouble you, fellow Daoist. Rest assured, I will tell you the truth about the world afterward." Laozi knew what she wanted, so he immediately expressed his opinion.

Subsequently, Houtu swore an oath to Laozi to prove her innocence, and Laozi also revealed the truth of the world to Houtu.

Although she had suspected it for a while, Houtu was still somewhat bewildered when she learned the truth. This primordial world was actually just a projection of the original primordial world.

So what are these people? Are they all just illusions?

……

After Yuan Mo and the others stabilized Yang Mei's injuries, they crossed multiple planes to return to the Demonic Primordial World, and the first thing they did upon their return was to Mount Sumeru in the West.

Despite being a representative of the Heavenly Dao, Rahu did not establish a Daoist temple in the chaos, but instead continued to cultivate on Mount Sumeru.

Luo Hou's gaze swept over Yuan Mo and the others, finally landing on Yang Mei. Judging from her miserable state, it was obvious what would happen next.

However, Rahu did not say anything, and his face did not show any unusual expression, as if he had expected it.

In this world, although he was the victor, he knew that Hongjun was no simple character, not to mention that there was another variable on the other side.

Variables shouldn't exist in the first place, and it's not surprising that they are resolved in any way.

Just then, three more people entered from outside the hall. These three were none other than the Three Sages of the Earthly Path: Houtu, Styx, and Zhenyuanzi.

Since there is a primordial world of immortals, it is possible that other primordial worlds exist.

Just in case, Luo Hou did not send everyone out, otherwise, if other possible prehistoric beings raided their home, they would have nowhere to turn for help.

"What are your thoughts? Speak up." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Luo Hou stopped being silent.

Yuan Mo said nonchalantly, "Although we have been exposed, it's not a big problem. That Hongjun is so foolish as to want to weaken the final catastrophe by downgrading the primordial world."

"Right now they have only seven saints, while our side has nearly twice their number."

"Even if we are suppressed by forcibly descending, the advantage is still on our side. We just need to hold off Hongjun and the others until the middle and lower levels decide the winner."

Luo Hou glanced at Yuan Mo with a look of disgust, then looked at Nuwa and the others.

Laozi also shook his head, clearly not optimistic about what Yuan Mo said.

"First of all, in terms of the lower and middle classes, we are not much different from them. On the contrary, there is a variable on their side: Wei Guang."

"Secondly, they are playing on home turf and are pinning their hopes on the lower and middle classes; we are the ones who will lose."

"Our only advantage over the Immortal Primordial World is that we have not weakened the world's origin, and we have more Saints than they do."

"Now that Yang Mei has been exposed, once his aura appears in the Immortal Dao Primordial World, he will be immediately locked onto by Hongjun, and the previous plan has become ineffective."

Yuan Mo said unhappily, "So you mean to give up?"

"No, what I mean is, we cannot rashly rush into the Immortal Primordial World to fight. Such a way of playing to our weaknesses and avoiding our strengths is unwise."

Although he felt that Lao Tzu's words made sense, seeing that the other party had not offered a solution, Yuan Mo couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

"You've been talking nonsense all this time. Come on, come up with a workable solution."

"Why."

Seeing that this guy was starting again, Tongtian and the others couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. It was really hard to keep up with a teammate like this. Couldn't you let him finish speaking first?

Laozi looked at Yang Mei and asked, "Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, you are skilled in the Dao of Space, and you have also devoured the origin of Yang Mei from the Immortal Realm's Primordial World. Can you construct a spatial passage that leads directly into the Immortal Realm's Primordial World?"

"You want to forcibly devour the origin of the Immortal Dao Primordial World?" Yang Mei frowned slightly.

Laozi nodded: "The origin of the Immortal Dao Primordial World has been weakened. Forcibly devouring it may not be impossible. Even if it is not possible, we can use the authority of the world to resist the suppression of us by the Immortal Dao Primordial World."
