Primordial Era: Unparalleled Comprehension, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Three Immortals

Chapter 125 The Battle for the Chaos Bell, the Vacant Position of Heavenly Emperor.

Upon hearing Chen Qing's gaze, the Supreme Sage took a few steps forward and looked down at the Wu Clan members below.

"Now that the war between the Lich and Demon races has ended in defeat, you have all seen the damage that the two races have done to the primordial world, which is an unforgivable sin."

"However, Heaven cherishes life, and the witch and demon races should not be exterminated."

"Now, the Wu tribe can choose to stay in the primordial land or go to the underworld; the choice is theirs."

"If you stay on the primordial land, you can only go to the North Sea, but you cannot leave the North Sea."

"If you are going to the underworld, you must not cause trouble there."

After saying this, Lao Tzu waited patiently.

Below, the Xuanming Ancestral Witch and the Chiyou Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan began to discuss.

"Someone must remain on this primordial land; otherwise, when we try to make a comeback, we won't even have a territory to call our own."

"Xuanming Ancestral Witch, you lead a portion of the Witch Clan back to the Underworld, while I, Xingtian, and Houyi remain on the Primordial Land."

"If anything happens, we will send someone to ask the underworld for help."

Xuanming nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Very well, then I will lead a portion of my people to the underworld to preserve a portion of the Wu clan."

"You shall remain on this desolate land, and act with care and without recklessness."

Seeing that the Wu tribe had made a choice, Laozi breathed a sigh of relief.

The Wu tribe possesses immense fortune and has the sage Pingxin in charge; it is fitting that they are not exterminated.

Lao Tzu looked at the demon race.

"The demon race shall be dealt with by Junior Sister Nuwa; we will not interfere further."

Upon hearing this, the sage Nuwa slowly stepped forward and looked at the group of demons.

"Kunpeng, you shall lead a portion of the demon race back to the Arctic Sea, Bai Ze and the Ten Great Demon Gods shall lead a portion of the demon race back to the Ten Thousand Mountains, and the rest of the demon race shall return with me to Nuwa's Heaven."

After saying this, the sage Nuwa looked at Kunpeng, Bai Ze, and the ten demon gods.

Everyone agreed with what the sage Nuwa had said and began to make their choices.

Before leaving, the Sage Nuwa collected all the innate spiritual treasures left behind after the great war of the demon race, except for the Chaos Bell.

At this moment, everyone else had already left, leaving only Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Chen Qing.

All four of them looked at the Chaos Bell, their faces showing deep thought as they considered how to choose.

The three—Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu—exchanged glances, but none of them spoke.

The Chaos Bell, a primordial treasure, is one of the three great creation treasures. All three of them wanted to obtain it. Primordial treasures are extremely rare; there are only a handful of them in the entire primordial world. Whoever obtains one will lose one.

The Supreme Sage possesses two supreme treasures: the innate supreme treasure Taiji Diagram and the acquired supreme treasure of merit, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda. However, this does not prevent him from coveting the Chaos Bell. Who would think that an innate supreme treasure is too much?

The Primordial Celestial Venerable possessed the innate treasure, the Chaos Banner, but it was all attack and no defense, so naturally he set his sights on it.

The Tongtian Sect Leader, lacking any supreme treasures, had been struggling to secure the fate of the Jie Sect. Now that the Chaos Bell was ownerless, he naturally wanted to compete for it.

Although the Tongtian Sect Leader possesses the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, it is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Only by combining it with the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram and setting up the formation can he defeat many opponents single-handedly.

Moreover, the Zhuxian Sword Formation is a weapon of slaughter and cannot suppress destiny. Thus, it lacks the effect of suppressing destiny.

When Tongtian Jiaozhu founded the Jie Sect, he had no supreme treasure to suppress his fortune at the beginning of the sect's establishment. Now, he desperately needs the innate supreme treasure, the Chaos Bell, to suppress the power of his fortune.

Chen Qing glanced at the Chaos Bell, then at the three Pure Ones, and walked to the side. To him, the Chaos Bell was dispensable, and he also vaguely sensed that someone was watching them.

It's obvious that who else but Dao Ancestor Hongjun could be watching this place without the notice of the other saints?

This proves that the Chaos Bell was to be taken back by Hongjun. He had previously received guidance from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and this time, he naturally wanted to return it.

The three Pure Ones exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with an unyielding determination.

Just as the three were about to make their move, a black hole appeared in the space where the Chaos Bell was located, sucking the Chaos Bell directly into it. The Three Pure Ones understood that it was Hongjun Daozu who had made his move.

All three were Heavenly Saints, and in the entire primordial world, only Dao Ancestor Hongjun could take away the Chaos Bell without anyone noticing.

The three of them exchanged another glance, their eyes filled with helplessness.

Now that the Chaos Bell has been taken back by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the three of them have nothing to fight over and are preparing to leave.

Just as the three finished speaking and were about to leave, they received a telepathic message from Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"You shall all come to Zixiao Palace."

Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Chen Qing exchanged glances, and then Chen Qing spoke.

"Grandmaster, the Dao Ancestor has sent me a message, instructing me to go to Zixiao Palace."

Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu all nodded in agreement upon hearing Chen Qing's words.

"We have also received a message from our teacher. In that case, let us go to Zixiao Palace together."

After saying this, the four headed straight for Chaos, heading towards Zixiao Palace.

At the same time, in the primordial world, countless powerful beings flew towards the chaos, heading towards the Purple Cloud Palace.

The four people—Taishang Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Chen Qing—were the first to arrive at Zixiao Palace. After arriving, they immediately sat down.

Chen Qing looked around Zixiao Palace; this was his first time visiting it.

Chen Qing glanced around the Zixiao Palace and felt that the aura of the Great Dao was extremely strong, and the aura of the Great Dao was everywhere. Moreover, the sacred aura within it was omnipresent, and the power of the laws could be seen everywhere.

After observing for a while, Chen Qing began to guess what Hongjun Daozu wanted to do. Although he didn't know what it was about, he could roughly guess that it was about the Heavenly Court.

Now that the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun has died and the demon race has been defeated, the Heavenly Court cannot remain without a ruler. Therefore, it is time to elect a new Heavenly Emperor.

Upon realizing this, Chen Qing understood that the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West were about to appear. In the future, the two would no longer be the attendants of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, but the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Court.

As the group of powerful beings entered, Haotian Tongzi and Yaochi Tongnu appeared.

When everyone saw the two appear, they already knew that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was about to make his appearance.

As expected, Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared on the futon at the very top. Upon seeing this, everyone stood up and bowed to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"I have met Hongjun Daozu (my teacher) (my grandmaster)."

After exchanging greetings, everyone took their seats.

Hongjun Daozu glanced at everyone, then slowly spoke.

"I have summoned you here today for matters concerning the Heavenly Court."

"After the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, the Demon King Di Jun died, the Demon King declined, and the Heavenly Court was no longer a place of heaven and earth."

"The Heavenly Court cannot be without a Heavenly Emperor. Do any of you have a good candidate? If so, please recommend him."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked interested, but no one spoke; instead, they waited quietly.
