Primordial Era: The Witch Clan's Dog-Headed Strategist

Within the chaos, the unified demon lord was firmly imprisoned by three layers of seals.

Pan Xuan stood outside the seal, gazing at the Demon Lord who was still struggling frantically, and said in a deep voice:

"Can this seal contain it?"

"Difficult," Nuwa said slowly. "After all, it is the embodiment of the negative things in the boundless world, and its power is inexhaustible."

My cocoon of creation, though able to envelop it, is also gradually eroded by its negative energy.

Di Jun also said, "Although my Star Seal can suppress all ages, it also needs the power of the stars in the heavens to maintain it continuously."

If one day the power of the stars is exhausted, this seal will likely be unable to sustain itself.

Pan Xuan's gaze was deep and he slowly said, "If that's the case, then let it have nowhere to go."

He raised his hand, and divine fortune surged forth once more.

That divine power actually carved out a small, enclosed space-time within the chaos.

That space-time is not connected to any other world or any dimension; it is like an eternal, lightless cage, suspended in the depths of chaos.

"This is a closed space-time that I created using the power of the divine."

Pan Xuandao said, "It is not connected to the outside world, is not tainted by any cause and effect, and is not eroded by any force."

Since the Demon Lord cannot be destroyed, then let him be eternally imprisoned in this space-time, never to see the light of day, never to be freed!

Nuwa and Dijun exchanged a glance and both nodded slowly.

"Very well!" Nuwa said, "Then let's move this seal into that sealed space-time!"

The three sages worked together to accomplish this task.

The three layers of seals, along with the unified Demon Lord, were slowly moved into that sealed space-time.

Immediately, Pan Xuan used his divine power to completely seal, close, and conceal that space-time.

It seemed as if it had never existed, yet it also seemed to exist eternally in the depths of chaos, quietly imprisoning that endless evil.

"Seal!" Pan Xuan shouted. The sealed space-time was completely closed, and not a trace could be found.

The unified demon lord, along with all the negative elements of that boundless world, was sealed into eternal darkness.

With the seal complete, peace was finally restored outside the protected area.

The three saints stood side by side before the protection, gazing in the direction where the seal had dissipated, remaining silent for a long time.

"That Demon Lord is sealed." Di Jun spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity.

"But I still feel uneasy."

Can such beings truly be sealed away and imprisoned forever?

"A lockdown can be maintained for a time, but not forever."

Pan Xuan slowly said, "That Demon Lord is the embodiment of the negative things in the boundless world."

As long as there is even a trace of resentment or malice in this world, it has the potential to break free of its seal.

Our sealing it away today has merely bought us a brief respite.

Nuwa said in a deep voice, "Then Hongjun and those other rulers will probably not let it go after seeing that the demon has been sealed."

They will definitely find another way to make a comeback.

Pan Xuan nodded, his gaze deep and thoughtful: "Not bad."

In today's battle, although we defended our territory, we also exposed the true nature of the primordial world.

Hongjun and those other rulers must already know that although the Primordial World is powerful, it is not invincible.

Next time they come, it probably won't just be these few demons.

He paused, gazing into the depths of chaos, his eyes sharp and resolute.

"Therefore, we cannot sit idly by and wait for our demise."

Once everything in the primordial world is settled, we should take the initiative to launch an expedition into chaos and spread the flames of war to their divine realm.

Let them taste what it's like to be consumed by war!

After the great war, peace returned outside the shelter.

Pan Xuan, however, did not let his guard down.

He knew that although the Demon Lord had been sealed, Hongjun and the four rulers would never let it go.

The next storm will only be more violent.

If the Primordial World wants to remain invincible in the future chaotic war, it must make further progress on its foundation.

On this day, Pan Xuan left the Great Luo Heaven alone and set foot on a sacred mountain in the eastern part of the prehistoric world, Longevity Mountain.

In Longevity Mountain, there is a Taoist temple called Wuzhuang Temple.

Inside the temple stands a spiritual root of heaven and earth, called the Ginseng Fruit Tree. It blossoms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, takes another three thousand years to mature, and only bears thirty fruits every ten thousand years.

The fruit is shaped like an infant, with all four limbs and five orifices. If a person is fortunate enough to smell its fragrance, they can prolong their life.

If one is fortunate enough to eat even one of them, one can ascend to heaven in broad daylight.

The master of this temple is none other than Zhen Yuanzi, the renowned ancestor of earth immortals in the primordial world.

Zhen Yuanzi was born in the primordial era and was of the same generation as the Three Pure Ones, holding a very high seniority.

In his hand was a strange book called the Book of Earth, which was said to be a primordial spiritual treasure formed from the essence of the earth at the beginning of time, containing all the veins and mysteries of the primordial land.

Zhen Yuanzi, who was in charge of the Earth Book, lived a life of peace and tranquility in Wanshou Mountain, tending to the ginseng fruit tree.

However, since the chaos caused by Hongjun, Zhen Yuanzi has also had many concerns.

Although he was the ancestor of all earth immortals and possessed profound cultivation, he remained stuck at the threshold of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, unable to advance even an inch.

The threshold to enlightenment and sainthood seems so close, yet so insurmountable.

He vaguely felt that his opportunity might be inextricably linked to the Earth Book and the Earth itself, but he could never figure out the final step.

On this day, Zhen Yuanzi was meditating under the ginseng fruit tree when suddenly, a thought stirred within him, and he looked up.

A handsome and upright figure appeared, stepping on the clouds, coming from the horizon.

"Fellow Daoist Panxuan!"

Zhen Yuanzi rose to greet him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "What brings you, the master of the divine path, to my Wuzhuang Temple?"

Pan Xuan landed, cupped his hands and smiled: "Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, how have you been?"

"I have come today to discuss with you a matter of great importance concerning the future of the primordial world."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi had an idea and led Pan Xuan into the temple.

The two sat facing each other under the ginseng fruit tree. Zhen Yuanzi personally poured a cup of spiritual tea and said, "Fellow Daoist, please speak freely."

Pan Xuan accepted the spirit tea, but did not drink it immediately. He raised his eyes and looked at the ginseng fruit tree with its lush branches and abundant fruit, and slowly said:

"Fellow Daoist, your ginseng fruit tree takes three thousand years to bloom, three thousand years to bear fruit, three thousand years to mature, and ten thousand years to complete."

Fellow Daoist, have you ever considered why this spiritual root of heaven and earth produces only thirty fruits every ten thousand years?

Zhen Yuanzi was taken aback, and pondered for a moment before saying, "The spiritual roots of heaven and earth have their own way."

The ginseng fruit tree is a primordial spiritual root, and the fruit it bears contains the essence of the Great Dao, naturally incomparable to ordinary plants.

Its slow ripening makes it all the more precious.

"Not bad." Pan Xuan nodded, but then changed the subject.

"But have you ever considered another matter, fellow Daoist? In this primordial world, immortals and mortals are mixed together, gods and demons coexist, mortals and immortals live side by side, and the witch race and the demon race live together in one place."

When an immortal is enraged, he can burn mountains and boil seas; when gods and demons fight, the heavens and the earth can collapse.

Ordinary people are like ants among such powerful beings, their lives hanging by a thread. Is this truly what the primordial world should be like?

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's gaze sharpened slightly. He vaguely sensed that Pan Xuan's visit today was probably not just a casual reminiscing.

"Fellow Daoist, could it be that...?" Zhen Yuanzi pondered, "that you intend to separate the mortal and immortal realms in the prehistoric world?"

"That's right," Pan Xuan said slowly. "Since the beginning of the world, the primordial world has been a mix of immortals and mortals. Although it was prosperous, it was also chaotic."

Mortals cultivate themselves to transcend worldly desires; however, the battles among immortals often bring misfortune upon mortals.

The cities of mortals are often destroyed in the blink of an eye during a battle of immortals;

The livelihood of mortals often depends on the whim of the gods.

If this continues, how can ordinary people live in peace? How can humanity truly prosper?

He paused, his gaze deep: "I have been thinking about this for a long time."

In the primordial chaos, a new world, the Immortal Realm, was created. From then on, immortals and mortals were separated.

Cultivators above the Golden Immortal level enter the Earthly Immortal Realm or the Heavenly Realm to cultivate, and no longer easily interfere in the mortal world;

In the mortal world, only mortals remain, living in peace and prosperity, multiplying and prospering.

In this way, immortals have their own way of life, and mortals have their own world; each is content with its place and does not disturb the other.

Only when the mortal and immortal realms coexist can each find its proper place and prosper together.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi was startled.

He vaguely sensed that Pan Xuan's words had touched a chord in his heart that he had never been able to understand.

"The Immortal Realm..." Zhen Yuanzi murmured, looking down at the scroll in his palm.

"Fellow Daoist, do you mean for me to use this Earth Book as a foundation to open up that Earthly Immortal Realm?"

"Not bad." Pan Xuan's eyes were burning. "Fellow Daoist, your Earth Book is an innate spiritual treasure condensed from the origin of the earth, containing all the mysteries and secrets of the primordial land."

Using it as a foundation, it is only natural to open up a realm of immortals.

Fellow Daoist, since you began your cultivation, you have been stuck at the threshold of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, unable to make any progress for a long time.

Fellow Daoist, have you ever considered where your Dao truly lies?

Zhen Yuanzi lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, he slowly raised his head, a glimmer of understanding appearing in his eyes:

My Way...is on the earth. I hold the Book of the Earth, guarding the earth, yet I only know how to guard, not how to use it.

Now, a fellow Daoist's words have awakened me from my dream.

My path is to create a new immortal realm, and to prove my Dao through the Dao of the Earth!

Pan Xuan smiled slightly: "That is exactly what I mean. If you can use the Book of Earth as a foundation to open up the Immortal Realm, then the Dao of Earth will surely become more perfect."

At that time, with the blessing of the earth's energy, what difficulty would there be in breaking through and attaining sainthood?

Zhen Yuanzi abruptly stood up and solemnly bowed deeply to Pan Xuan:

"Fellow Daoist Panxuan, your words have awakened me from my dream! Zhen Yuanzi, thank you for your guidance!"

Having understood his own path, Zhen Yuanzi no longer hesitated.

He discussed with Pan Xuan for a long time, carefully deducing and refining the idea of ​​opening up the immortal realm layer by layer.

The book of earth unfolded before the two of them, its surface displaying countless mysterious patterns.

That is the veins of the primordial land, the direction of mountains and rivers, the flow of the earth's spiritual energy, and all the mysteries of the earth's origin.

Zhen Yuanzi stared at the Earth Book, feeling that every line in the book resonated deeply with his own Dao heart.

"Fellow Daoist, please look," Zhen Yuanzi said slowly, pointing to a vast blank space on the Earth Book.

"The vast and boundless land of antiquity."

However, much of it is undeveloped land with little spiritual energy, unsuitable for human habitation or cultivation.

If I were to use the Book of Earth as a foundation, I could carve out a new world from the primordial land into this vast expanse.

Nourish it with the earth's natural energy, so that it is full of spiritual energy and all things flourish.

That is the Realm of Earthly Immortals.

Pan Xuan examined it carefully and slowly nodded: "Good idea."

The Earthly Immortal Realm, inheriting the essence of the primordial land, is also a realm of its own. It is connected to the primordial world, yet it is also a region of its own.

Immortals who enter this realm to cultivate can enjoy the nourishment of the earth.

Mortals remain in the mortal realm, undisturbed by immortals. Thus, both the mortal and immortal realms find their proper place.

"However, opening up a new world is no easy task," Zhen Yuanzi said, frowning.

"What immense power would it take to carve out a vast expanse of land from the earth and create a new world?"

Pan Xuan smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry."

Have you forgotten who I am now?

I am the master of the divine path, wielding the power of the divine path, encompassing the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity.

Fellow Daoist, you have opened up the Immortal Realm. I will use my divine power to assist you from the sidelines.

I will use the power of the divine path to pave the way for you, fellow Daoist. You will use the Book of Earth as your foundation and the Dao of Earth as your core. With the two complementing each other, how can you not achieve the Earthly Immortal Realm?

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes gleamed brightly:

"Good! With your help, I am fully confident!"

So the two of them began preparations.

Zhen Yuanzi went into seclusion to study the Book of Earth, absorbing all the mysteries of the earth's veins into his mind.

Pan Xuan then returned to the Great Luo Heaven, gathering divine power to accumulate vast strength for the moment when the Immortal Realm was opened.
