Primordial Era: Reborn as Fuxi, he opened the heavens with a single stroke!

Inside the great formation, everyone's gaze fell upon the innate gourd vine, and their expressions all turned solemn.

"One of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, the Innate Gourd Vine!"

Taiqing Laozi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in disbelief, "There are actually seven innate gourds, and among the seven innate spiritual treasures, six are top-grade innate spiritual treasures."

Such an unparalleled stroke of luck was something that even Laozi and his ilk couldn't help but take notice of.

In an instant, the atmosphere became heavy. All the innate gods and demons present coveted such a top-tier innate spiritual treasure.

"Fellow Daoists, it seems that you all found this place by virtue of your own great fortune, and you are all destined to be connected with this innate gourd."

Taiqing Laozi spoke first, his voice calm yet containing a hint of probing: "But there are only seven innate gourds, and one mid-grade innate spiritual treasure. There are nine of us, so even if each of us gets one, it won't be enough. In my opinion, once the innate gourds mature, we should each rely on our own abilities to compete for the innate gourd that we are destined to have. Whichever innate gourd you feel is destined for you, then go and compete for it."

"Whoever gets it will own it. That way, they won't have come for nothing. What do you fellow cultivators think?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was intrigued and about to agree when Ye Chen spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Taiqing, you are mistaken. Fellow Daoist Taiqing possesses the Primordial Treasure, the Chaos Bell, and his strength is undoubtedly the greatest among us!"

"As for Fellow Daoist Di Jun, he also possesses two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, the Hetu Luoshu, which give him unparalleled combat power."

"If we agree to your suggestion, fellow Daoist, wouldn't we each only be able to seize one Innate Gourd?"

Ye Chen changed the subject, saying, "In my opinion, we should first discuss the Dao with each other. When the Innate Gourds mature, we can each compete for them based on our abilities. Whoever gets them will keep them. If someone has the ability to snatch the Innate Gourd Vine in one go, they can take all seven Innate Gourds!"

"Fellow Daoist Laozi, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Laozi also showed a hint of hesitation. His original intention was for the Three Pure Ones to each take a Primordial Gourd. If they were to compete for it together, Taiyi, who held the Chaos Bell, would find it extremely difficult to take the Primordial Gourd Vine!

Before he could reply, Donghuang Taiyi also came to his senses. He was an arrogant person, and Ye Chen's words pleased him. He immediately snorted coldly and said arrogantly.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, your words are reasonable. With the Chaos Bell in my hand, who can be my match?"

"I support Fellow Daoist Fuxi!"

Upon hearing this, everyone had different expressions. Although Donghuang Taiyi possessed the innate treasure Chaos Bell, he wasn't very bright. The other party was using him as a pawn. They couldn't even see that with one innate treasure and two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, once he made a move, he would become the target of everyone's attacks.

This scheme wasn't particularly clever; not only did others see through it, but Di Jun also discern Ye Chen's plan. He immediately spoke with a forced smile, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi is no less capable. With the Twelve Heavens appearing, even if my second brother and I possess the Primordial Treasure, the Chaos Bell, we dare not claim a sure victory!"

"Brother, why boost others' morale while diminishing our own?"

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi retorted with dissatisfaction, "The Twelve Heavens are nothing more than a gentle shake of the Chaos Bell, enough to destroy them instantly!"

Di Jun's face darkened; he really wanted to strangle his second brother. Everyone else chuckled.

The Three Pure Ones, confident in their strength, believed that if they joined forces, they could seize the entire innate spiritual root, and thus agreed.

As for Emperor Jun Daoist, after some thought, he felt that he possessed a supreme innate treasure and two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, making him no less than the Three Pure Ones. He believed he could also seize the innate gourd vine. If he could obtain seven innate gourds, he could invite a group of top innate gods and demons to enter the Heavenly Court and become saints through the power of destiny!

After thinking it through, he immediately agreed.

As for Ye Chen, although he has the Twelve Heavens protecting him and his magical power is inexhaustible, the competition here is for innate spiritual treasures. Once he gets them, no one else can compete with them, and the Twelve Heavens will be useless.

At that moment, everyone felt confident of victory.

As for Nuwa Daoist, although she did not understand why her elder brother had acted out of character and did not follow Taiqing Daoist's words, she chose to tacitly agree.

Of the nine people, seven agreed. Even though Zhen Yuanzi Daoist and Hongyun Laozu were reluctant, they had no choice but to agree. However, Zhen Yuanzi Daoist felt that as long as he held the Earth Book and stood on the ground, his magical power would be inexhaustible. At the very least, he could help his old friend obtain a Primordial Gourd.

With this in mind, the group sat down cross-legged and began to discuss their ideas.

"In the Five Elements theory, wood is associated with bending and straightening..."

"The principle of Yin and Yang is mutual generation and mutual restraint..."

Among them, people verified each other's understanding of the Great Dao, and in an instant, the laws intertwined, causing the void to tremble.

While they were discussing the Dao, Ye Chen was also observing the divine essence on the innate gourd vine and expounding his own Dao of Bagua.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed.

On this day, the divine light on the innate gourd vine shone brightly, and the seven innate gourds were crystal clear, with flowing Daoist charm, bursting out with endless purple mist. They were already mature, and once taken down, they would become innate spiritual treasures.

Laozi and the others stood up as if facing a formidable enemy. Donghuang Taiyi immediately summoned his innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, one of the three treasures of creation!

The bell is ancient and simple, with the sun, moon, stars, earth, fire, water, and wind engraved on it, and the chaotic energy permeates it, causing the void to tremble.

"Bang!"

A vast expanse of chaotic mist descended from the bell, intending to directly envelop the innate gourd vines and capture all seven innate gourds in one fell swoop.

However, a stream of primordial energy and a vast power of the world descended together, forcefully blocking the Chaos Bell's strike that could suppress eternity!

Above Laozi, a magnificent tower of heaven and earth floated, emitting countless streams of profound and yellow merit energy to block the Chaos Bell. He was already a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, far surpassing Taiyi in strength. The tower of heaven and earth contained one-tenth of the merit of the Great Dao of Creation, second only to innate treasures.

Beside him, Ye Chen held the Innate Painting Brush, his brushstrokes flowing like dragons and snakes, the Eight Trigrams turning, opening up the Dao of Painting, and a world instantly appeared, stretching across the Chaos Bell.

"A small, insignificant world, and an illusion at that, dares to stop me?"

Donghuang Taiyi snorted coldly, his face revealing undisguised contempt.

"Tai Daoyou!"

Ye Chen chuckled lightly, his tone carrying a hint of cunning.

"My world is not for suppressing people."

"I've made a fool of myself..."

"Bang!"

The next moment, to everyone's disbelief, Ye Chen, who had created a world using the Great Dao of Painting and the Dao of Bagua, did not choose to confront the Chaos Bell head-on, but instead allowed it to collapse.

"Boom!"

The collapse of one realm resulted in an even more violent backlash. Endless earth, fire, water, and wind raged in an instant, the chaotic energy flowed backward, and spacetime was distorted. This violent backlash, which had created the world and then returned to nothingness, struck Donghuang Taiyi's companion treasure, the Chaos Bell, without bias.

Even a supreme innate treasure trembled under the powerful backlash.

Donghuang Taiyi's body trembled violently, his face turned ashen, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

This power of creation already possessed a trace of heavenly might. Even though Taiyi held a supreme innate treasure, he was only a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Caught off guard, he would suffer a silent loss.

However, it was not over yet. When it struck Taiyi, the earth, fire, water and wind raged within the great array of heaven and earth, which covered tens of thousands of miles. The boundless innate spiritual energy went berserk, and the entire space was somewhat unstable!

Seeing this, everyone slowly stopped fighting, their eyes filled with shock.

This Taoist Fuxi, relying on a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, actually gained the upper hand in the battle against Taiyi, who possessed an innate supreme treasure. What a mysterious technique!
