Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 28 The Fate of the Stars

Tongtian went on and on for a long time, but there was nothing he could do about it, since it was their eldest brother's only hobby.

Laozi refined elixirs, Yuanshi forged weapons, and Tongtian himself was fond of formations.

Xuanhuang flapped its wind and thunder wings, moving with incredible speed, heading straight for its own dojo.

Back to Yingzhou Island.

Landing in front of the Xuanhuang Palace, Xuanhuang looked at the three plum trees and the orchids in front of the palace and felt that everything was the same as before, without much change.

Xuanhuang thought for a moment, took out his bamboo staff, and pointed it towards the back of the palace. Instantly, a flash of green light appeared.

Behind the palace, however, appeared a bamboo grove. This bamboo grove was made up of the descendants of the bitter bamboo.

"Plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums—only the chrysanthemums are missing." Looking at his spiritual roots, Xuanhuang couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

After planting the bamboo grove, Xuanhuang entered the palace and began his seclusion.

His journey through the prehistoric world was very fruitful; he even broke through his cultivation level and reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Beyond the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, there lies another realm altogether.

Quasi-Saint, or perhaps a Primordial Golden Immortal.

This level of cultivation is extraordinary. Xuanhuang secretly calculated that, based on his own cultivation, he should reach it once he successfully refines the Five Elements Dao.

The Great Dao of Xuanhuang is centered on the Five Elements, the Four Symbols, Yin and Yang, and Taiji, among which the Five Elements is the most important and the foundation.

Therefore, the Way of the Five Elements must not be taken lightly; a solid foundation must be laid before steady progress can be made step by step.

To date, Xuanhuang has acquired three of the five innate origins of the Five Elements.

"With wood to generate fire and metal to generate water, perhaps there is no need to obtain the origin of the Fusang spiritual root."

Xuanhuang muttered to himself.

Five divine lights slowly emerged behind him, three of which were particularly powerful, radiating a rich innate aura.

However, the other two divine lights were not much weaker. As the five elements rotated, the five divine lights continued to cycle and change.

Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood.

It did not receive the corresponding innate fire and water elemental divine light, and it is also gradually transforming.

This process is accelerating over time.

Xuanhuang estimated that it should be successful in about 100,000 years. Therefore, Xuanhuang ignored everything else and focused solely on cultivation.

And so, in the blink of an eye, ninety thousand years had passed, and these ninety thousand years were very peaceful.

At least, that's the case for Xuanhuang.

However, this was only the case for Xuanhuang himself. For Xuanhuang's other avatar, Ziwei, there had been no peace for the past ninety thousand years.

Di Jun and Tai Yi also created their own Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, and even engraved the array on the Chaos Bell to enhance it.

The two challenged Ziwei again.

Ziwei was still fighting two against one, but he secretly thought it was a close call. If it weren't for Fuxi tempting him to help him deduce the great formation and strengthen his own formation, he would have been in trouble.

That might really cause a problem.

Fortunately, with Fuxi's help, Ziwei's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array is even stronger than those of Dijun and Taiyi.

In addition, Ziwei's cultivation level has also improved over the years, and he has reached the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, Di Jun and Tai Yi were somewhat behind in their deduction of the grand formation, still only at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Therefore, Ziwei still firmly suppressed Dijun and Taiyi.

Di Jun and Tai Yi were defeated once again.

It was even chased by Ziwei for hundreds of millions of miles, all the way back to the Sun Star, before it finally stopped.

After that, Fuxi, Nuwa, Xihe, and Changxi began to persuade them.

We're all one family under the stars, why fight to the death?

The two sides sat down at the negotiating table.

"Fellow Daoist's ambitions must extend beyond this starry sky, right? I only wish to live peacefully and cultivate the Dao. If you agree to live with me, I can support you, but I need to take control of this starry sky," Ziwei said.

However, Di Jun and Tai Yi were furious at his request and found it completely unacceptable.

Thus, the first negotiation failed.

Not long after, the two sides fought another great battle, but Di Jun and Tai Yi only managed to remain undefeated, while Zi Wei still firmly held the upper hand.

Although he was alone and had no treasures, he somehow made Di Jun and Tai Yi feel powerless.

They encountered such a formidable enemy before even leaving the starry sky, which was quite disheartening for them.

Their ambition, as Ziwei said, is not just the starry sky; the starry sky is merely their starting point.

But now, they can't even conquer this starting point.

In that case, how can one talk about conquering the entire world?

So, Fuxi, Nuwa, Xihe, and Changxi began a second wave of persuasion.

"I only need the star gods of 365 main stars and 14,800 secondary stars to set up my grand formation and use the power of the starry sky to cultivate. You wouldn't even agree to that, would you?" Ziwei said again.

This time, although Di Jun and Tai Yi were still indignant, they held back.

The two sides began to pull at each other.

After repeated attempts, Di Jun and Tai Yi finally had no choice but to agree to Zi Wei's request, and from then on, Zi Wei took control of the starry sky.

However, the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array that has been set up cannot be enjoyed by Ziwei alone; they also need it.

Ziwei smiled and agreed.

Ultimately, they both knew that what they were fighting for was the fate of the entire starry sky.

Now, this fortune belongs to Ziwei.

As for Dijun and Taiyi, they were defeated in this battle, but they still managed to save face and have a way to back down, so they didn't completely lose face.

In addition, although the future fortune of the starry sky belongs to Ziwei, they also have the right to use the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen (a special formation for celestial constellations).

One purpose is to use this grand formation to gather the power of the stars for cultivation; the other is to use this grand formation to deal with some powerful enemies.

"Actually, what you said is right. We are all beings born from the stars, and we are one family. Why don't you join forces with me and conquer this world?" Di Jun tried to explain his ambition to Ziwei and pull her along.

Ziwei shook her head and said, "I only wanted to live in peace in a remote corner. Now that I have a place to settle down, I will no longer fight for it."

"Instead of asking me, why don't you ask the other fellow Daoists?" Ziwei pointed to Fuxi and the others.

Upon hearing this, Fuxi immediately laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Ziwei, we have already said that we do not want to get involved in your affairs."

Fuxi refused outright.

However, Nuwa's eyes flickered slightly, as if she were deep in thought.

As for Xihe and Changxi, they were still quite confused. When they saw that Fuxi had refused, they were relieved and stopped thinking about it.

Although Di Jun and Tai Yi were rejected by Fu Xi, the two brothers exchanged a glance and still took it to heart.

"Let's give him control of the starry sky for now. We've wasted too much time in the starry sky." Back on the Sun Star, Di Jun sighed and said to Taiyi.
