Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 14: A Blessing, Not a Curse!

Donghuang Taiyi had only heard Kunpeng's cry for help, which is why he used the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, to rescue Kunpeng.

Donghuang Taiyi was already a great distance away from the place where Jiang Heng and Kunpeng were fighting, so it was already the limit for the innate treasure Chaos Bell to break through space and time to come.

Jiang Heng used the secret of the previous character to travel through time and space. Even Donghuang Taiyi, who possessed the innate treasure Chaos Bell, could not stop Jiang Heng.

For the time being, Jiang Heng did not want to rashly reveal his existence, nor did he want the demon race to know that the human race already had a quasi-saint level powerhouse.

Otherwise, Jiang Heng would really like to have a good meeting with Donghuang Taiyi, who possesses a supreme innate treasure, and see just how strong this supreme demon is.

However, Jiang Heng had already achieved all his goals by coming to Huoyun Cave, and the Kunpeng was merely an unexpected bonus.

Donghuang Taiyi believed that the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, had broken through space and time and that with its power, he could stabilize space and time and save Kunpeng.

But Donghuang Taiyi could never have imagined that Jiang Heng would possess five supreme phenomena.

The combined power of the five supreme phenomena was earth-shattering, and even the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, could not stabilize the space-time around Jiang Heng.

This is also why Donghuang Taiyi was furious. As the supreme ruler of the demon race, he had already taken out the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, but he still couldn't do anything to Jiang Heng.

Not only that, Jiang Heng also launched a devastating attack on Kunpeng right under Donghuang Taiyi's nose.

The mighty Donghuang Taiyi personally intervened but failed to protect the demon master Kunpeng. If this were to spread, how could Donghuang Taiyi save face?

As for the demon master Kunpeng, Jiang Heng left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to check whether the other party was dead or alive.

However, the Demon Master Kunpeng is, after all, a giant who has survived from ancient times, and he still has some abilities.

In the future great calamity of the Lich King, both Donghuang Taiyi and the Demon Emperor Jun perished, but the Demon Master Kunpeng was still alive and well, which naturally shows that he had some skills.

Although Jiang Heng unleashed a stunning attack using the "All" and "Approach" secret techniques, his chances of completely killing the demon master Kunpeng are slim.

However, even though Demon Master Kunpeng escaped unscathed, Jiang Heng was confident that Demon Master Kunpeng would not have an easy time this time.

It will likely take anywhere from a few thousand to ten thousand years for the Demon Master Kunpeng to recover from his injuries, making it virtually impossible for him to cause trouble again.

Not long after the outbreak of the Third Lich War, the serious injury of the Demon Master Kunpeng will undoubtedly weaken the strength of the demon race.

This is undoubtedly the best news for the entire human race, as it will reduce the pressure in the great war to come.

Jiang Heng traversed the prehistoric world swiftly, soon finding a secluded spot, before waving his hand.

"Ancestor Styx and Kunpeng have already retreated. Why don't you show yourself, fellow Daoist?" Jiang Heng said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a somewhat illusory figure appeared in front of Jiang Heng. It was none other than the Red Cloud Ancestor, who had already self-destructed.

"Thank you for saving me, fellow Daoist!" Ancestor Hongyun bowed to Jiang Heng with a somber expression.

At this moment, due to his self-destruction, the Red Cloud Ancestor was reduced to a mere soul, a truly tragic state.

Even these remaining fragments of the soul are extremely unstable and are in danger of dissipating into the world.

After countless years of cultivation, he finally attained the cultivation level of a quasi-saint and possessed the Primordial Purple Qi, which everyone in the prehistoric world envied.

Now he has fallen into such a miserable state. It is no exaggeration to say that Old Ancestor Hongyun is incredibly unlucky. One can only imagine how Old Ancestor Hongyun must feel at this moment.

When he self-destructed, Ancestor Hongyun was prepared to fight to the death, and he never expected to escape unscathed.

In the heart of the Old Ancestor Hongyun, the reason he had not completely perished was entirely due to Jiang Heng's help, and he was naturally filled with gratitude towards Jiang Heng.

This was a misconception of Old Ancestor Hongyun. Even without Jiang Heng's intervention, Old Ancestor Hongyun would have had a chance of survival.

The key lies in the Primordial Purple Qi and the innate spiritual treasure of Ancestor Hongyun, the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd.

Originally, when the Old Ancestor Hongyun was in danger, the Primordial Purple Qi helped him withstand a fatal calamity, preventing him from completely perishing even after his self-destruction.

The innate spiritual treasure, the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, can preserve the soul of the Red Cloud Ancestor, preventing him from perishing immediately.

Hongyun Patriarch mistakenly believed it was because of Jiang Heng, and naturally Jiang Heng wouldn't point it out.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. In the prehistoric world, who does not know that Ancestor Hongyun has made many friends and is a first-rate benevolent person!"

"The Styx Ancestor and Kunpeng are extremely vicious, and their infamy is widespread throughout the prehistoric world. I will naturally not stand idly by and help those in need!" Jiang Heng said.

"Fellow Daoist is truly public-spirited and righteous. It's a pity that the Primordial Purple Qi has already fled on its own for some reason, otherwise I could have given it to you as a token of my gratitude!" said Ancestor Hongyun with a sigh.

After the Primordial Purple Qi helped Ancestor Hongyun withstand a death calamity, it was indeed supposed to escape beyond the heavens and earth and disappear into the vastness.

But since Jiang Heng came here specifically for the Primordial Purple Qi, he intercepted it the instant it fled.

Originally, it was almost impossible to stop the Primordial Purple Qi. It was preordained that this was not the time for the Primordial Purple Qi to be born.

This is why, even after a full eon of trying to comprehend the Primordial Purple Qi, the Old Ancestor Hongyun still gained nothing.

But since Jiang Heng possesses five supreme phenomena, he can even break through the space-time stabilized by the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, so blocking the Primordial Purple Qi is naturally not a difficult task.

However, Jiang Heng did not have time to study the Primordial Purple Qi yet, and only suppressed it in his Golden Sea of ​​Bitterness for the time being.

Jiang Heng had long since given up hope that the Primordial Purple Qi could grant someone the status of a sage, but perhaps he could gain something from studying it.

"What I gain is my fortune, what I lose is my fate! Losing the Primordial Purple Qi might not be a bad thing for you, fellow Daoist!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"Oh? What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?" Ancestor Hongyun asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Fellow Daoist, as far as I know, you have had the Primordial Purple Qi for a full Yuan Hui. Have you comprehended any profound mysteries?"

Spending all your time trying to comprehend the Primordial Purple Qi while neglecting the progress of your own cultivation—is this the path to sainthood?

"Fellow Daoist, this has even brought you a fatal disaster. What benefit would the Primordial Purple Qi bring you?" Jiang Heng said.

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Hongyun froze on the spot, wanting to say something, but in the end, he could only let out a deep sigh.

"Alas! Only now do I realize how wrong I was. Just as my fellow Daoist said, the Primordial Purple Qi is more of a curse than a blessing for me!"

"What a pity! What a tragedy! What a lament! It's all too late now. In my current state, my foundation is completely destroyed, and the possibility of climbing the Great Dao again in this life is gone!" Ancestor Hongyun sighed.

Now, only a remnant soul of the Red Cloud Ancestor remains. Even if he wanted to possess another body and be reborn, he would not be able to do so. Naturally, his foundation has been completely destroyed.

"Fellow Daoist, even if only a remnant soul remains, it's not entirely hopeless to attain Dao!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, is what you say true? As far as I know, unless the Dao Ancestor personally intervenes, or a Sage intervenes, this is absolutely impossible!" Ancestor Hongyun said in utter shock.

"Fellow Daoist, please allow me to keep you in suspense for now; you'll see soon enough!" Jiang Heng said with a smile again.

"Oh? In that case, I'll leave it to you, fellow Daoist! If I ever attain Dao again, I will surely repay your great kindness tenfold!"

After pondering for a long time, the Old Ancestor Hongyun still didn't know what Jiang Heng was planning, so he could only bow to Jiang Heng again to express his gratitude.

The idea of ​​the Old Ancestor Hongyun was indeed correct, unless it was a saint or the Dao Ancestor who personally took action.

Otherwise, given that Ancestor Hongyun is now only a remnant soul, let alone attaining enlightenment again, even surviving would be difficult.

But how could Ancestor Hongyun know that soon after, Houtu, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, would be reborn into the cycle of reincarnation?

Since ancient times, in the primordial world, the souls of the dead all returned to the sea of ​​blood, where they could not return and could only wander.

This also caused the sea of ​​blood to be filled with resentment and become terribly filthy, which was naturally a huge burden on the entire prehistoric world.

Fortunately, the ancestral witch Houtu transformed into the Wheel of Reincarnation, giving the helpless and destitute souls a place to be reborn.

It can be said that Houtu, the ancestral witch, has made great contributions to the entire prehistoric world and to all living beings living in it.

Moreover, the establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation also signifies that the framework of the entire primordial world is officially becoming complete.

The establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was extremely important for the entire primordial world, but Jiang Heng was unsure whether it was inevitable or accidental.

Although he hadn't been in the prehistoric world for long, Jiang Heng had already keenly sensed that the prehistoric world was not as simple as it seemed.

Many of the legends from later generations are a mixture of truth and fiction. For example, the story of the Taiqing Sage preaching among humans is one that Jiang Heng finds hard to understand.

However, as his strength continued to increase, Jiang Heng believed that one day, the prehistoric world would have no secrets from him anymore.

However, in any case, the establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is a tremendous opportunity, and Jiang Heng would naturally not miss it.

Once reincarnation is established, even though Ancestor Hongyun is currently in a remnant soul state, there is still a possibility of reincarnation.

According to what Jiang Heng knew from his previous life, the original Hongyun Ancestor was reincarnated as Yun Zhongzi in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and was even taken as a disciple by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

In later generations, Yun Zhongzi was not only highly skilled in cultivation, but also a renowned immortal of great virtue and fortune.

The saying goes, "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise," and the experiences of Old Ancestor Hongyun fully illustrate this point.

Therefore, in the long run, the ordeal that Hongyun Patriarch suffered this time may not necessarily be a disaster.

Jiang Heng wasn't in a hurry to find Houtu, the Ancestral Witch. In any case, Houtu would eventually reincarnate in the sea of ​​blood.

As long as Jiang Heng arrives at the Blood Sea in advance and waits for the arrival of the Ancestral Witch Houtu, he will not be afraid of missing this tremendous opportunity.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Heng took a step forward, heading towards the sea of ​​blood.
