Primordial Era: Reborn as a Tortoise, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Chapter 104 The Laws of the Mind, The Dream World

Wild world.

The moment Guixuan returned to the primordial world, the originally static spacetime began to change.

The spacetime confinement has disappeared.

Billions of living beings stared at the void, utterly bewildered.

Where is Dao Ancestor Hongjun? How come only Dao Ancestor Guixuan is left?

Even the sages were equally puzzled.

As if in the blink of an eye, Dao Ancestor Hongjun suddenly disappeared without even saying goodbye.

"What should we do next?"

The Master of the Shangqing Tongtian Sect asked a question.

After pondering for a while, the Sage of Taiqing said, "Go to Zixiao Palace and ask your teacher what to do next."

They were different from Zhen Yuanzi and the others.

The Xuanmen Dao Ancestor has reappeared. As his disciple, if I continue to go to the North Sea for everything as before, then the nature of the matter will change.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded in agreement, always adhering to etiquette, and thought there was nothing wrong with it.

As they spoke, Guixuan looked at the primordial world, his eyes narrowing.

"I fought with Hongjun in the chaos for more than a eon, while less than an instant passed in the primordial world."

"This ability is simply terrifying!"

He had sensed something was wrong during the previous battle.

That faint, peculiar aura, in theory, shouldn't have lasted for an entire eon.

It now appears that his senses were blocked by Hongjun.

However, he soon realized that this was Hongjun's warning to him.

The ability to control the spacetime of the entire primordial world at will is a method that surpasses even the laws of nature.

"Is the primordial trend really that important?"

Gui Xuan was puzzled.

The phrase "small trends can be changed, but the overall trend cannot be reversed"—what exactly is its intention?

"Let's take it one step at a time. Right now, we can only try our best to collect that special aura, otherwise we might not be able to defeat Hongjun next time."

Gui Xuan sighed inwardly.

At the same time, it felt incredibly frustrating.

Just when you've finally managed to kill one scheming bastard, an even more insidious one appears.

"Living in this desolate place is truly exhausting..."

With a silent sigh, Gui Xuan vanished from the sight of countless beings in the primordial world.

This made the billions of living beings in the prehistoric world even more confused, feeling that something was wrong with them today.

······

The Primordial Heavenly Dao Space.

Hongjun had already appeared here.

Looking at the Heavenly Dao space where the power of laws intertwined, a smile appeared on Hongjun's face.

"As expected of a world that took countless years to develop, it's far superior to mine."

"It's just that they're terrible at ruling the world, tsk tsk tsk..."

Splash splash~~~

A sound of pages turning was heard.

Hongjun reached into the void and pulled out a tattered book.

If Gui Xuan were here, he would definitely recognize it immediately.

This book is the very one he had when he killed Hongjun.

Now it has reappeared.

"Mine was taken, so you can use yours for now."

"This is the perfect opportunity for me to conquer this world and make it my resources."

After opening the book and reading it carefully, Hongjun visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"He's a clever fellow; he didn't truly disrupt the primordial order, otherwise I would have really killed him."

His biggest worry was that Gui Xuan had already disrupted the overall trend of the prehistoric world. Now it seems that although there are some discrepancies, the overall trend has not changed.

This put Hongjun at ease.

suddenly.

A black phantom appeared here, roaring at Hongjun.

Hongjun glanced at the dark figure with disdain, "What a piece of trash. He has such a wonderful world, yet he was beaten to death."

"I really don't know what you're good for! Where is the Jade Disc of Creation?!"

"What? You don't have any? You're such a waste!"

Hongjun's expression turned cold. With a wave of his hand, something flew out from the black figure and landed in his palm. It was a broken Creation Jade Disc.

"You can't even find anything, you deserve to be beaten to death!"

"You should go somewhere else to be conceived again!"

As he spoke, he flicked his finger, and a black vortex appeared beside the shadowy figure, pulling it away until it disappeared.

After Hongjun finished doing all this, he put away the tattered book in his hand, looked at the Heavenly Dao Space World again, and then left.

······

North Sea.

The four saints, Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, Houtu, and Styx Ancestor, appeared before Guixuan.

Hongyun said thoughtfully, "Dao Ancestor, I feel something is amiss. Before..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gui Xuan interrupted him, saying, "It cannot be spoken, it cannot be thought of."

Hongyun was shocked.

Gui Xuan continued, "The past is past. As sages, you should bring blessings to the primordial world."

"Everything else is illusory."

Gui Xuan knew what Hong Yun wanted to say.

It's nothing more than a matter concerning that old bastard.

But that old guy is very strange. Before finding a way to completely deal with him, Gui Xuan is not prepared to provoke him again.

"After the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, the primordial world was shattered; that old fellow never appeared again, and then came the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West..."

Gui Xuan's mind was in turmoil.

Looking at the primordial world, it was a process of rise and fall.

After the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, this primordial world could no longer accommodate the existence of saints.

Until the end of Journey to the West, no saint appeared in the entire prehistoric world.

This might be his chance.

"Once the great primordial forces have subsided, I'll see what you're really up to."

At this moment, Houtu spoke up, "Dao Ancestor, when we were refining the Heaven-Mending Stone, I discovered that one of the stones had actually developed consciousness."

As she spoke, she opened her palm, and a colorful stone appeared in her hand.

Huh?

The appearance of the five-colored stone stirred something in Gui Xuan's heart.

He felt an inexplicable connection to the stone.

Gui Xuan took the stone into his hand and examined it carefully, then quickly deduced its meaning by pinching his fingertips.

"What a stroke of luck!"

After some deduction, Gui Xuan smiled.

Then, looking at Houtu, he said, "This stone is connected to me by fate; there is a karmic connection between us."

Seeing the puzzled looks on the faces of the sages, Guixuan continued.

"Before the war between the three races, I was in seclusion on Mount Buzhou. My blood accidentally dripped onto this stone and gave birth to a spiritual consciousness."

"After being refined by the Qiankun Cauldron, it became a primordial spirit."

It turned out to be the case.

The four saints nodded.

Gui Xuan looked eastward, his eyes swirling with the laws of nature.

Soon, he spotted an inconspicuous spot near the East China Sea. "This is it."

An inconspicuous fairy stone stands on a mountain.

This location is the ancestral vein of the Ten Continents and Three Islands, connected to the Qi veins of Penglai, Yingzhou Immortal Island, and the Ten Continents.

The height and circumference of the Immortal Stone correspond to the twenty-four solar terms, and the holes on it correspond to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

It was none other than the stone monkey from the later Journey to the West.

"You're so lonely..."

With a sigh, Gui Xuan tossed the stone in his hand, and it landed next to the Immortal Stone.

Golden rays swirled and penetrated the two stones.

The four sages watched Gui Xuan's actions with puzzlement.

Gui Xuan said, "This stone concerns the fate of Buddhism. Hong Yun, you must take good care of it."

Hongyun's eyes lit up with joy. "Hongyun understands!"

He already understood the reason; it was related to the exorcism in the West.

Since it involves Buddhism, he couldn't afford to be careless.

Suddenly, Zhen Yuanzi spoke up and asked, "Dao Ancestor, the Lich King and the Demon King have withdrawn from the prehistoric world, and this great calamity is about to end. What should we do next?"

This great eon, which has passed 129,600 huiyuan, is about to come to an end.

After the great war between the witch and demon races ended, the world began to become clear again.

As a sage, especially an earthly sage who is equal to the Heavenly Dao, although suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, one can still calculate some things.

That's why Zhen Yuanzi asked the question.

After all, the next great calamity is about to begin, and if they, as saints, do not make preparations in advance, the primordial fortune of this world will be lost if they are not careful.

Gui Xuan thought for a moment and then said, "The next great calamity will bring great prosperity to the human race and conflict among the Xuanmen; this is a matter between the Xuanmen and has nothing to do with you."

"You only need to focus on educating and guiding the people, and within a controllable range, do your best to support the human race."

"The earth is the way of all living beings, representing rules and will."

"Of the billions of living beings in this primordial world, most cultivate the Heavenly Dao, but they all reside in the Earthly Dao."

"You only need to remember that everything that reaches its peak will decline; don't judge things by appearances alone."

The four sages' eyes flickered, and they had some guesses about what Gui Xuan had said.

Since the next great calamity is a matter for the Xuanmen (mystical sect), it has nothing to do with them, the earthly saints.

They only need to sit back and watch the world go by, waiting for the decline of the Xuanmen sect; when the next great calamity arrives, they can make preparations.

After further discussion, the four saints gradually departed.

Only Guixuan remained sitting there.

"Since you so desire me to change the course of the primordial world, then I will grant your wish for now."

"Who says I can only change the course of the primordial world here..."

Gui Xuan revealed a strange smile, and a phantom power of rules flowed between his fingertips.

"In the realm of the mind, Emperor Jun, you have truly given me a pleasant surprise. It was not in vain that I saved the lives of your ten brats."

He has been preaching throughout the primordial world for countless years. Apart from the Eastern King Duke providing him with the laws of faith, this is the second time that a living being has provided him with the laws once again.

It is still the most bizarre law of the mind.

Previously, the billions of prehistoric creatures that had besieged Kunlun Mountain were subtly controlled by Di Jun, which gave them the audacity to disregard the dignity of a sage and block the gate.

"What did Di Jun see that could drive a Heavenly Emperor at the Quasi-Saint level mad..."

Examining the laws governing his fingertips closely, Gui Xuan felt a surge of curiosity.

After the Lich War, he used the laws of time and space to simulate the scene at that time, but the strange sounds never appeared again.

They even specifically summoned Dijiang and Zhujiuyin, but they still couldn't get it to work.

"Is it a coincidence, or something else...?"

"Let me take a look."

A vast amount of primordial spirit power appeared, enveloping the power of the mind.

Just as he had searched for the Eastern King Duke, Gui Xuan, guided by the laws of the mind, began his search for Di Jun.

"Ten suns in the sky, bringing calamity to all living beings!"

"You killed my Great Witch of the Witch Clan! You demons, die!!"

A vast voice appeared in Gui Xuan's ears.

Then came an overwhelming, scorching power; the true fire of the sun descended from the sky, burning the primordial earth.

"Where is this? The primordial wilderness?!"

Gui Xuan stared in astonishment at the scene before him.

Below, a great shaman holding a bow and arrow was shooting an arrow at the ten suns in the sky.

One by one, golden crows fell from the sky, emitting mournful cries.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, only one of the ten golden crows remained, fleeing in panic, attempting to fly into the heavens.

Before the great shaman below could fire his final arrow, a mysterious force appeared, abducted him, and vanished into the void.

From the highest heavens, a furious roar echoed throughout the primordial world.

"Witch Clan, die!!"

Crashed!

The Demon Emperor has appeared!

"Is this another primordial world?"

Gui Xuan was surprised. "Did some kind of anomaly occur in the spacetime laws of Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin during their battle, causing Di Jun to arrive here?"

"I've witnessed another possible trajectory for the primordial world!"

hiss~~~

Gui Xuan gasped.

If this is true, then it proves that his previous guess was correct: Hongjun is evolving the primordial world and seeking truth through dreams!

"After all this time, I've been in Hongjun's dream the whole time!"

"No wonder...no wonder..."

"If that's really the case, then when the great primordial chaos ends, will it be the time when Hongjun awakens from his dream?"

"At that time, I..."

Gui Xuan was shocked, and a great terror quickly spread through his heart.
