Chapter 71 Heavenly Rules and Earthly Laws, Calamity

"I will immediately attempt to advance to the Primordial True Saint after my return. This advancement involves Tianxu, the White Tiger Royal Family, and Zixiao. The three of you should prepare as soon as possible. I have no intention of returning quietly like this."

Taiwei's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. He had never been a low-key person, and after years of cultivation, it was time for him to return to his roots.

Transforming into a Primordial True Saint is indeed a matter of life and death for others. The Primordial True Saint's rank is theoretically higher than the natural life level of the Heavenly Dao's evolution, so anyone who transforms into a Primordial True Saint will inevitably encounter various tribulations.

As for Taiwei's tribulation, Taiwei knew without deduction that it was a tribulation of humanity. Tianxu, Baihu Royal Court, and Zixiao were the three tribulations of Taiwei. Without resolving these three tribulations, Taiwei could not hope to advance to the Primordial True Saint.

"Keep this for now."

Nuwa produced a ruler with two lines, one horizontal and one vertical. Although it did not emit any spiritual light, at the moment the ruler appeared, a vast and boundless land naturally evolved in the Heavenly Netherworld.

Life and death cycle, supporting heaven and earth, the mighty and vast energy of the Great Dao surges continuously. Such natural evolution undoubtedly indicates that the power of this ruler is even greater than Yang Mei's Taixu Lock.

The Heavenly Rules and Earthly Standards are the supreme treasures of the Great Void held by Fuxi and Nuwa. The Heavenly Rules are in Fuxi's hands, and the Earthly Standards are in Nuwa's hands. When these two treasures are combined, they form the Supreme Treasure of the Great Void.

Of course, the Heavenly Rules and Earthly Rules, when separated, are each a supreme treasure of the Void, each symbolizing the universe and the heavens and earth, and are among the strongest of all supreme treasures of the Void.

The Heavenly Rules and Earthly Standards can be said to be the most powerful treasures of the Primordial World. Even the two treasures of the Primordial World in Taiwei's possession are not as good as the Heavenly Rules and Earthly Standards. At this time, Nuwa took out the Earthly Standards, naturally hoping that Taiwei would use them for protection.

"No need. You should understand that if I were to advance to become a Primordial True Saint with the help of external forces, my Human Tribulation would become much more unpredictable. You don't need to worry. A mere Human Tribulation is no match for me."

Taiwei soothed Nuwa's worries with a smile, and the Dragon-Tiger Pill appeared before him, its purple-gold light slowly radiating as he began to recount his cultivation and insights after his tribulation.

As Fuxi, Nuwa, and Yangmei listened to Taiwei's words, the worry on their faces slowly disappeared.

Since Taiwei is confident, they will choose to believe him. Countless past experiences have proven that as long as Taiwei has sufficient confidence, nothing unexpected will happen.

In the Heavenly Netherworld, Taiwei had a good talk with Fuxi, Nuwa, and Yangmei, sharing their experiences over the years, exchanging their insights into the Great Dao, and discussing everything under the sun.

Fuxi, Nuwa, and Yangmei shared their insights on the Golden Core Dao with Taiwei. Taiwei knew that Fuxi, Nuwa, and Yangmei wanted to improve the cultivation level of his Dao Fruit avatar as much as possible.

Taiwei accepted this with a smile. After all, Fuxi, Nuwa, and Yangmei were top-tier beings in the primordial world. Although they did not specialize in alchemy, they had their own understanding of it, which greatly inspired Taiwei.

Three thousand years later, in the Heavenly Netherworld, Taiwei watched Fuxi, Nuwa, and Yangmei slowly disappear. The smile on his face slowly faded. He had finished dealing with his personal matters, and the next step was to advance to the Primordial True Saint.

Taiwei's body was ablaze with purple-gold Dao light, and his figure slowly disappeared into the Heavenly Netherworld. After Taiwei left, a beam of purple-gold Dao light suddenly tore open the dark void.

In the Tianming Land, which was like a piece of cloth torn apart, Zixiao, dressed in purple robes and with white hair, spread his five fingers and shattered the purple-gold Dao light in his palm. Looking at Taiwei who was leaving, Zixiao smiled. He had just arrived and had been discovered, which was enough to show that Taiwei's cultivation was already close to his.

"Then we'll meet again in this calamity."

Zi Xiao's figure dissipated into wisps of purple energy. Just as he left, Yang Mei, dressed in white with white hair, reappeared with a smile on her face. Looking in the direction Zi Xiao had left, Yang Mei played with the Taixu Lock in her hand, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

In the primordial western region, at the bottom of a great lake, Taiwei opened his eyes and his figure flashed into the sky, the Xuan Yin Four Directions Furnace shining brightly in front of him.

Taiwei threw all the rare and precious materials he had collected from the White Tiger King's Court into the treasure furnace at once. In the raging flames, all the rare and precious materials on Taiwei's body were melted into one furnace.

Dragon Tiger Pill, Primordial Dao Pill, Heaven and Man Yin-Yang Pill, Four Symbols Divine King Pill—endless purple-gold pill energy merged into the Profound Yin Four Directions Furnace. Taiwei's eyes blazed, and with a wave of his sleeve, the surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the sky and on the ground merged into the Profound Yin Four Directions Furnace.

Taiwei's divine sense merged into the treasure furnace, and countless starlight and spiritual energy surged within it. Over a period of five thousand years, Taiwei incorporated all the treasures he possessed, except for a few natal golden cores and the Seven Star Dragon Abyss, into this golden core that was being refined.

Five thousand years later, brilliant purple-gold Dao light shone from the Xuan Yin Four Directions Furnace, and a golden-patterned pill that was almost identical to the Dragon-Tiger Pill appeared before Taiwei. Whether it was the aura, the spiritual light, or even the quality, this golden-patterned pill was exactly the same as the Dragon-Tiger Pill.

However, unlike the flawless Dragon-Tiger Pill, the spiritual energy of this Golden-Patterned Pill is gradually dissipating. In other words, this Golden-Patterned Pill has a limited lifespan. At most, after ten thousand years, the medicinal effect of this Golden Pill will diminish by one-tenth, and it will completely collapse after fifty thousand years.

Taiwei looked at the golden-patterned elixir in front of him and put it into his Purple Mansion. This golden elixir was the key to whether he could overcome the tribulation of humanity. After completing all this, Taiwei withdrew the Dao spiritual light from the fragment of the Creation Lotus in his Purple Mansion.

Amidst the pure celestial light, the figures of other cultivators who possessed fragments of the Creation Lotus reappeared in Taiwei's mind.

However, unlike the nearly ten people before, only two people appeared in Taiwei's perception at the moment. One was Tianxu, who had been relentlessly killing cultivators who possessed fragments of the Creation Lotus, and the other was Xuanqi of the Dragon Clan.

"So it really was the two of you."

Taiwei's body radiated purple-gold light, forcefully tearing open the void in front of him. Boundless mountains and rivers were easily crossed under Taiwei's great power. In just an instant, Taiwei's position had already arrived at the junction of the Western Regions and the Central Regions.

Upon arriving here, the ground beneath Taiwei suddenly collapsed, with billowing dust, smoke, and water spraying and exploding. A circular archway shimmering with the light of the sun, moon, and stars appeared beneath Taiwei.

The Gate of a Thousand Stars is a supreme treasure created by Taiwei before he suffered a calamity, imitating the Great Luo Heavenly Palace in Taiyi's possession.
