Primordial Era: Infinite Evolution, Starting with Intercepting the Queen Mother of the West

As Hongjun gave Laozi and the others special treatment in advance.

At this moment, many waves were stirred up within the primordial world.

The battle between Di Tian and Ba Xia immediately sparked heated discussions across the nation.

Now that things have come to this, who doesn't know the power of proving one's path through laws? Who doesn't know the weakness of severing the three corpses?

In situations where they are at the same level, Di Tian and Ba Xia might not be of any reference value.

However, the battle between Dongwanggong and Ao Qing was witnessed by countless people, and many of them are now at a level comparable to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

But the result?

How terrifying was the power that Ao Qing unleashed?

Even with the blessing of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the Eastern King Duke's power reached the Quasi-Saint Perfection stage in a short period of time.

However, in the ensuing battle, Dongwanggong was ultimately defeated, and even if he won, it was a Pyrrhic victory. It should be noted that Ao Qing was only at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

"Execute him!"

Inside the Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi let out a low shout and forcefully severed the existence of the two corpses, one good and one evil.

The next second, the two corpses, one good and one evil, flew out of his body.

With a resounding shattering sound, the two corpses shattered instantly, and the two incomparably precious high-grade innate spiritual treasures were also completely destroyed at this moment.

At that moment, Zhen Yuanzi spat out a mouthful of blood.

Immediately afterwards, his aura began to weaken rapidly, and in a short period of time, his cultivation level had already dropped to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage.

Although he was not weak, he was clearly inferior to Donghuang Taiyi, which caused his cultivation to drop significantly after destroying his two corpses of good and evil, and he could not even reach the ultimate Daluo stage.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi!"

Seeing this, Hongyun's expression changed, and she quickly stepped forward to help Zhen Yuanzi.

Seeing his pale face and weak state, Hongyun's eyes flashed with pity, and she subconsciously said, "Why are you doing this to yourself!"

"This matter can be decided after some time has passed; your current situation is not good for you."

"It's bad enough that my cultivation level has plummeted, but my very essence has also been damaged. How can I recover from this?"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand.

Although he was in great pain at the moment, he also felt incredibly happy and relieved.

For no other reason than that he could clearly feel his inner demons dissipating.

From the moment he entered Zixiao Palace, learned about the Three Corpses, and learned about the Primordial Purple Qi, a demon was born within him.

That is the inner demon that prevents one from attaining enlightenment.

Those are shackles that offer no hope of enlightenment.

But at this moment, he completely broke free from these shackles and inner demons.

Even if one may suffer great losses, even if the possibility of attaining enlightenment in the future remains slim.

However, unlike the Three Corpses Severing method, which makes it virtually impossible to attain sainthood without the Primordial Purple Qi, other cultivation methods offer a glimmer of hope, giving him a tiny bit of sustenance.

Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, there's no need to worry."

"This was my decision, my choice, and I have no regrets!"

"Regardless of whether I succeed or not, regardless of what the future holds, I will never regret the decision I made today to abandon the severing of the three corpses!"

At this point, Zhen Yuanzi's face was full of determination.

Hongyun opened her mouth as if to say something, but calmed down after seeing Zhenyuanzi's reaction.

After taking a deep breath, Zhen Yuanzi slowly spoke: "Alright, old friend Hongyun, I need to go into seclusion for a while to cultivate."

"You can leave now. I know you still have things to do."

"If you don't give me hope, you should seriously consider this. Are you really willing to embark on the path of severing your three corpses for that wisp of primordial purple energy?"

"Although I don't know the specifics, I can sense that your situation is different from that of the Three Pure Ones and others. It's even possible that the Primordial Purple Qi you obtained is problematic."

Upon hearing this, Hongyun's face darkened.

Without him.

Zhen Yuanzi's words were indeed true.

He could also sense that his Primordial Purple Qi was somewhat weak. Even after so many years, he still couldn't completely merge with it. The Primordial Purple Qi seemed to be resisting him, giving him no hope or possibility of merging or refining it.

But giving up like that is almost impossible.

After all, it was Hongjun who said that obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi would lead to sainthood. How could he possibly give up such a hope of becoming a saint?

Thinking of this, Hongyun felt depressed, but at this moment, he was also more determined.

"I understand, Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi!"

Taking a deep breath, Hongyun slowly spoke, "Since you've made your decision, I'll take my leave first."

"No matter what, I will not give up."

"Just as you said before, I will seize even the slightest chance!"

After saying that, Hongyun glanced at Zhen Yuanzi again, and then without hesitation, leaped into the air and disappeared from the area of ​​Wuzhuang Temple.

"Eh~"

As Hongyun left, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but sigh.

Now he understands very well that some things are pointless to say no matter what.

He already sensed that Hongyun seemed to have been tricked.

Even Hongyun herself sensed it.

But Hongyun had made up her mind and had no hope of regretting it.

Primordial purple aura.

To attain enlightenment and sainthood.

Those eight words alone completely shattered Hongyun's Dao heart.

Even if you know it's a trap, even if you know it's a setup, even if you know your future self will be in extreme danger.

Even knowing that he might die and perish because of the Primordial Purple Qi, he was willing to give up everything for the sake of those four words: "to prove one's Dao and become a saint".

After a long pause, Zhen Yuanzi sighed and then spoke, "Old friend Hongyun, you must come out."

"The sage's strategy is one of relentless struggle, to the death."

"The path to stealing from the heavens is fraught with peril, a path where nine out of ten perish."

After saying that, Zhen Yuanzi did not linger and turned to walk towards the backyard.

Soon, Zhen Yuanzi arrived at the location of the giant ginseng fruit tree.

After examining his natal spiritual root, Zhen Yuanzi took a deep breath and murmured, "I hope that aura from back then wasn't a mistake."

"Back then, we didn't realize, or even understand, its extraordinary nature!"

"So many years have passed, I don't even know if it still exists."

As they were talking, Zhen Yuanzi arrived in front of the ginseng fruit tree.

"open!"

With a wave of his hand, magical power surged forth, and a section of the ginseng fruit tree suddenly cracked open.

As the emerald green beams of light shone brightly, a faint crimson glow could be seen shimmering deep within the Wuzhuang Temple.

"It's still there after all."

Upon seeing that crimson hue, a hint of apprehension and hesitation flashed across Zhen Yuanzi's face.

But soon, Zhen Yuanzi made up his mind and took a big step forward, entering directly inside.
