Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

"Why?" Lei Ming asked curiously, "How can you be so sure?"

"I have a feeling that Goddess Nuwa seems to have the bloodline of the Chaos God, and that this bloodline is awakening," Yuan Zhantian said.

Lei Ming looked at Nuwa, unaware of the bloodline awakening Yuan Zhantian had mentioned. However, his feelings towards Nuwa were complex. Lei Ming was a human created by Nuwa, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was his mother. But in the conflict between humans and demons, Nuwa hadn't sided with humans, which made Lei Ming somewhat resentful of her.

"Among the primordial saints, Nuwa is the least skilled in combat, and her cultivation level is also average. She probably won't be the fastest to break through..." Lei Ming replied, but before he could finish speaking, Nuwa attained enlightenment.

The laws of creation manifested behind Nuwa, who also revealed her true form with a human head and a snake tail. However, her current form was somewhat different from that in the primordial world; she absorbed wisps of chaotic energy, making her true form mysterious and powerful.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on recovering part of your bloodline," said Yang Mei Daxian with a smile after Nuwa Niangniang attained enlightenment.

Nuwa had indeed changed somewhat. She nodded to Yangmei, the Great Immortal, and said, "I must thank Fellow Daoist Yangmei for your help. However, my other half of my origin was suppressed by Hongjun, and it will not be easy to retrieve it."

Hearing this, everyone was filled with doubt. Yangmei the Great Immortal explained, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa was actually a Chaos Demon God, but at the time of creation, her origin was split in two by Pangu. It's likely that Hongjun discovered them at that time and intervened to guide them, causing the two origins to drift further and further apart."

"Could it be that the other half of Nuwa's origin is Fuxi?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked.

Nuwa nodded and said, "That's right. Fuxi and I were originally one, but now Hongjun has suppressed Fuxi deep in the Zixiao Palace, and my original essence cannot be restored in a short time."

"It's alright. We'll invade the primordial world and rescue the goddess's essence," Lei Ming said, also hoping to repay the karma owed to the goddess Nuwa.

Not long after Nuwa attained enlightenment, Hongyun Patriarch and Zhunti Daoist attained enlightenment almost simultaneously. As a result, Lei Ming and his group now had twelve Grand Luo Golden Immortals of Hunyuan.

"It's time to deal with Hongjun." Luo Hou was the most excited. He had been cultivating diligently for many years and had now reached the peak of the late stage of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. He was just one step away from the perfection of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

Everyone looked at Master Yangmei, who had rescued them, and naturally became their leader.

Yangmei the Great Immortal laughed and said, "Now that Fellow Daoists Luo Hou and Lei Ming have reached the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, and Fellow Daoist Pingxin has reached the middle stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, and the other fellow Daoists have also attained enlightenment, Hongjun is no longer our match. In that case, let's return to the Primordial World."

Yang Mei and his companions headed towards the Primordial World, which had already changed. Hongjun, unable to catch them, returned to the Primordial World and used his immense power to merge the Celestial Realm of the Primordial World with the new world. Thus, the new world became a combination of five Great Thousand Worlds. Hongjun then used the Great Thousand World formed from the Purple Cloud Palace to suppress the very center of the new world, making it even more stable.

"It's a pity that it still hasn't become a Great World of Heavenly Dao." Ancestor Hongjun was somewhat regretful. The new world is many times larger than the Primordial World, but it is still at the level of a Great Thousand World.

Without the Seven Sages as his helpers, Hongjun resumed his teachings on the Immortal Path and left behind his legacy. Soon, a new Great World emerged, teeming with powerful figures. Grand Luo Golden Immortals were everywhere, and Quasi-Saints were not uncommon; nine of the most outstanding among them reached the pinnacle of Quasi-Sainthood. Hongjun, the Ancestor, resorted to his old trick, condensing the essence of the Immortal Path into Primordial Purple Qi. He used this Primordial Purple Qi to help these nine Quasi-Saints attain sainthood, and then controlled them.

"It's still not enough. To allow the Heavenly Dao to be born in the new world, it is necessary to burn the divine souls of twelve Grand Luo Golden Immortals at the same time."

Hongjun, the Ancestor, was quite helpless. His purpose in nurturing the beings of this world was simple: to use their spiritual power to evolve into the power of the Heavenly Dao. Once the Heavenly Dao was born in the new world, he would devour it and then help the world advance. With the new world advancing to a Great Heavenly Dao World, Hongjun would have a high chance of achieving the Heavenly Dao Realm.

However, it is extremely difficult to bring forth a Heavenly Dao in the new world. Even with the methods of Hongjun, it would be difficult to achieve this in a short period of time.

"It seems that Hongjun has done quite a lot while we were gone," said Yangmei Daxian with a smile. The group arrived outside the new world and saw a completely different scene, which left them with mixed feelings.

"The world of Father God has been completely destroyed by Hongjun," Lady Pingxin murmured.

"Hongjun really doesn't care about the means. In order to prevent our return, he actually sealed away Senior Sister Yunxiao and the others!" Lei Ming saw Yunxiao and the others in the Zixiao Great World. Including the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, Yang Jiao and Zhao Gongming, his fellow disciples and followers had all been sealed away by Ancestor Hongjun.

"He also sealed away my older brothers and sisters," said Lady Pingxin. "Without killing Hongjun, we cannot save them. I beg you all to help me retrieve the Heaven-Opening Axe. I will definitely use the Heaven-Opening Axe to kill Hongjun."

"Of course!" Everyone nodded in unison.

"Then let's go." With a wave of his sleeve, the Great Immortal Yangmei revealed a passage to everyone, the other end of which led to the very center of the new world.

"As expected of the Space Demon God, Yang Mei has mastered at least 80% of the laws of space, and opened up a spatial path with ease." Lei Ming was excited when he saw Yang Mei's methods. He had benefited greatly from this move.

The group suddenly arrived at the very core of the new world, where Hongjun Patriarch was waiting with nine saints.

"I knew you would come back," said Hongjun Ancestor. "Yang Mei, hand over my immortal origin."

"The origin of immortality?" Everyone looked at Immortal Yangmei in surprise. Immortal Yangmei said, "The origin of immortality that Hongjun mentioned is the Primordial Purple Qi, which is also the means by which they control you."

"So that's how it is." Tongtian Sect Leader said through gritted teeth, and the Four Swords of Zhuxian appeared around him. "Hongjun, you misled us and treated us as puppets. This grudge must be avenged. Take my sword first."

The four swords of Zhuxian merged into one giant longsword. One end of the longsword was grasped by the Tongtian Sect Leader, and the killing sword that caused the heavens and earth to change color suddenly pierced out, and a world of slaughter descended, with the Hongjun Ancestor at the center of the world.

"A mere trick." With a flick of his finger, the world of slaughter shattered, and even the Immortal Execution Sword of the Tongtian Sect Leader was deflected.
