Primordial Era: Elixir of Qi Transforms into Form, Controlling the Pharmacology of the World

"My karma is intertwined with my true form..."

In the long river of the Great Dao, Zhunti uttered a low shout, accompanied by the Dharma Image.

At that moment, countless phantoms evolved, including cultivators, races, and demons... The phantoms of races intertwined, transforming into endless threads, which were threads of cause and effect.

Now they merge and connect with each other, transforming into a single, true form of the Great Dao.

That true form contained boundless divine power and endless karma. Within this karma, various races were drawn into a war of attrition, slaughtering those who stood in their way.

These are the marks left by countless people who failed to attain enlightenment.

"boom……"

The roar could be seen as numerous phantoms dissipated, shattered by the great battle, causing cause and effect to dissipate.

"All living beings owe me karma, and today they repay my karma to help me kill the enemy..." Zhunti shouted, charging towards the many who blocked his way, aided by countless karmic debts.

That scene left many powerful figures dumbfounded, unable to believe it.

After all, this great principle of cause and effect is too profound.

Even Ling Dan, gazing at this scene, was astonished: "Although I knew long ago that Jieyin cultivates the Great Dao of Dreams and Zhunti cultivates the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, I never imagined that the two of them would interpret the Great Dao in such a profound way."

Ling Xi gazed at them, also praising, "It must be said that both Jieyin and Zhunti are people of great wisdom and perseverance. One uses dreams to observe all living beings and enlighten the West in order to educate them. The other is willing to incur endless karma in order to develop the West and evolve himself."

If neither of them had rushed to attain enlightenment, perhaps Senior Jieyin could have used the Great Dream of Three Thousand Realms to guide the Western beings into their dreams, continuously teaching them. This would have allowed the Western beings to grow stronger through the dreams. And these strengthened Western cultivators could then become Jieyin's foundation. From there, he could guide the dreams of all beings, refining his own Daoist essence and ultimately achieving the Primordial Chaos Realm.

Zhunti relies on karma. He incurs karmic debts from all beings, or causes beings to incur karmic debts from him. Having accumulated numerous karmic debts, the beings then demand repayment, thus preventing his demise. In the end, he becomes a karmic debt king, forcibly supported to reach the Hunyuan realm to repay his debts.

"By making all beings indebted to cause and effect, one collects these debts from them to help oneself attain enlightenment. This path of enlightenment through cause and effect is profound, truly profound..."

Ling Xi was also very knowledgeable and learned, and from this she comprehended the methods of enlightenment of Jieyin and Zhunti.

Ling Dan stared intently, now filled with mixed emotions and awe. Who could have imagined that Jieyin and Zhunti would attain enlightenment in such a way?

Proving one's path through dreams is profound enough. The two methods of enlightenment offered by Zhunti are equally astonishing.

All the onlookers stared in disbelief.

Amidst the astonishment of the masses, the subsequent half-step Primordial cultivators who went against the tide gradually completed the first third of their journey.

"Haha... It really works. I've seen others go against the current, and they've already exhausted a lot of their resources after only walking a third of the way. But now, with the Three Pure Ones in front of us, weakening the power of the torrent, we've managed to walk through it without expending much of our resources. Reducing the distance by a third at once gives us more hope for the rest of the journey." Master Yu laughed heartily.

"Kill them. We've taken advantage of this opportunity to leave one-third of them. The remaining two-thirds will have to be left to us." The Red Phoenix Daoist laughed.

They were all powerful individuals who had reached the half-step Hunyuan realm during the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, and now, taking advantage of this opportunity, they all rushed into the torrent before them.

In an instant, the obsessions of many who failed transformed into hateful roadblocks.

……

Over the long river of time, countless battles have raged, and even Lao Tzu was left in a sorry state.

The endless struggle of time eventually led Lao Tzu to take his final step.

Lao Tzu gazed upon the vast river of Yin and Yang, and upon stepping into it, he could be sublimated and achieve the state of primordial chaos.

But the final step proved difficult for Lao Tzu to take.

"Ah..." Lao Tzu roared, feeling the changes within himself, feeling extremely unwilling and angry.

The distant figure blocking the way, sensing the change, chuckled: "After countless years of battles, I always felt something was amiss. So that's it—you're missing a part; you're incomplete. An incomplete cultivator, no matter how much they comprehend the Great Dao or how strong their foundation, can hardly enter the River of the Great Dao. Only the perfect can enter the Primordial Chaos Realm. You call me a madman? You're a madman too, daring to set foot on this River of the Great Dao with a crippled body. Interesting, very interesting..."

Lao Tzu roared in anger, but it ultimately turned into a sigh: "I had long foreseen this. The Primordial Purple Qi helped me take the final step..."

At that moment, the primordial chaos followed, drawing upon the power of the Heavenly Dao, merging into Lao Tzu's origin, and into his physical body.

At that moment, it was as if something in the universe had been added to my life.

Lao Tzu sensed the changes within himself and ultimately stepped into the long river of Yin and Yang.

"boom……"

"boom……"

In that instant, Lao Tzu stepped into the Yin-Yang River, and the boundless primordial Dao rhythm and the endless magnificence of the Great Dao instantly spread throughout the entire prehistoric world.

At that moment, in the primordial world, endless golden lotuses and boundless Daoist charm were scattered from the sky, letting all living beings know that a Primordial Chaos had been born.

At the same time, at the place where Yuanshi Tianzun was located.

He used the stars to evolve the Dao of Heaven and defeated the obstacle in front of him who had condensed the stars of the entire universe.

"You evolved stars with your primordial spirit, and stars with your physical body... A drop of your blood is a star, a drop of your tear is a star, a strand of your hair is a star... You walked the path of Pangu's physical body. It's a pity you failed..." Yuanshi Tianzun said, using his own Heavenly Dao to walk the final journey.

That final step was something Yuanshi Tianzun could never take, and could only sigh, "In the end, it had to be this way. The Way of Heaven, the Way of Heaven... How laughable, how laughable..."

Left with no other choice, the Primordial Celestial Venerable could only rely on the Primordial Purple Qi to take the final step.

At that moment, amidst the vast expanse of stars, the aura of the Primordial Celestial Venerable intertwined, creating the Primordial Chaos Realm.

That was divine intervention, but also a last resort.

The same is true of Tongtian; his sword traverses the heavens, slaying all living beings.

He cut through countless enemies and severed countless paths, refining his own swordsmanship.

Tongtian looked at the countless swordsmen blocking his way, numbering nearly a hundred.

Regardless of the era or age, those who practice the way of the sword have never ceased to exist.

This has resulted in more people wanting to achieve mastery of swordsmanship, and also more people blocking the way.

Throughout history, countless people have practiced the way of the sword, resulting in countless others seeking to achieve the Hunyuan realm through the sword.

Similarly, Tongtian Suo will face even more enemies.

But now, he has rampaged through the land, slaying many who stood in his way with their swordsmanship, and turning the most essential parts of their swordsmanship into materials for refining his swordsmanship.

The Heavenly Sword's edge is even more terrifying; with a single strike, it cuts through the torrent, sending the waters plunging into the long river of swords.

Tongtian gazed at the sword energy, staring at the endless sword path within the long river: "With my current sword path, even the sword path of the long river of sword path is difficult to withstand. Yet I myself cannot set foot here. There is a flaw, how interesting. My sword path is invincible, but I myself have a flaw. To this day, I can only rely on the Heavenly Dao. Primordial Purple Qi, heed my call and help me achieve the Dao."

Upon hearing this, heaven and earth intertwined, the Great Dao resonated, and surged into the Heavenly Gate.

At that moment, Tongtian was enveloped in endless purple energy and stepped into the long river of swordsmanship, undergoing the baptism of swordsmanship.

Lao Tzu, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian all relied on their own Great Dao and their own foundation to reach the edge of the long river of their respective Great Daos. With just a single step, they could achieve Hunyuan (Primordial Chaos).

Unfortunately, the Great Dao River, belonging to the Primordial Chaos Realm, can only support flawless powerhouses. In contrast, the Three Pure Ones are flawed and can only rely on the assistance of the Heavenly Dao.

Beneath the primordial purple aura, they tread upon their respective long rivers, causing endless ripples.

In that instant, all things in the primordial world were revived, and endless Daoist principles intertwined.

Heaven and earth showered down the rains of creation, endless auspicious fireworks lit up the sky, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth...

Numerous changes and transformations have made it known to all beings that the Three Pure Ones have achieved the state of Hunyuan (primordial chaos).

The oppressive force of the Primordial Chaos Realm, following the aura of the Great Dao, swept across the torrent, engulfing all living beings.

This caused many cultivators who wanted to take advantage of the situation to feel the pressure of the Great Dao, exuding a sense of despair and a feeling of melancholy.

Jieyin also sensed that aura; the transformation of the Great Dao made him sigh: "Fellow Daoists Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian have ultimately surpassed us. Even though I face few enemies before me, I am still no match for them. However, it will soon be my time; the great dream is about to end..."

These words awakened the slumbering dreams of all beings, transforming them into a killing force that charged towards the enemy before them.

They were also cultivators of the Great Dao of Dreams, and also those who almost reached the Primordial Chaos stage but were blocked from achieving it. Their Great Dao resonated, and they jointly guided and killed the enemy.

The stirring Taoist rhythm and the buzzing aura evoked sighs and reflections from the guide.

However, amidst all the bloodshed, Jieyin finally took the final step. But before that step was taken: "Quick, it must be quick. Heaven's assistance is limited; we must be quick..."

Jieyin grew anxious, sensing that the Daoist principles transmitted within the Primordial Purple Qi were gradually dissipating. He had to seize the time to rush into the River of Dreams, or he would fail.

In a desperate gamble, he finally took the last step.

Jieyin also achieved the Primordial Chaos Realm, while Zhunti, on the other hand, was rather unlucky. Zhunti, feeling the dissipating purple energy throughout his body, was dumbfounded, yet also seemed agitated: "What? The power of the Heavenly Dao drawn by the Primordial Purple Energy is also limited? This... how can this be? I..."

"Haha... What is the Heavenly Dao? We have no idea. In our time, there is no such concept as the Heavenly Dao. However, no matter what it is, external things are still external things. No matter how powerful the borrowed foundation is, it has its limits." One of the causal obstacles laughed loudly.

Zhunti was also dumbfounded. He never expected that the power of the Heavenly Dao drawn by the Primordial Purple Qi would also have its limits. He had relied on the Heavenly Dao to get to this point, but without the Heavenly Dao, he was destined to fail and perish.

Seeing this change in his perception, Zhunti could only cry out, "Heaven is helping me, helping me... I am willing to incur even more karmic debts. Help me..."

Upon hearing this, the Primordial Purple Qi seemed to sense it, instantly unleashing a unique Daoist aura to assist Zhunti.

Zhunti, who had been brutally beaten by many who blocked his way, once again mustered his cultivation and fought back against them.

The many who blocked their way stared at them, unconvinced, and charged out again.

"What do you care about the Heavenly Way? No matter how much power you borrow, it will be unsustainable in the end. You will eventually vanish into nothingness..." shouted the many who blocked your way.

Countless random killings appeared, causing Zhunti to wail in agony.
