The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 97 In the chaos of society, the Demon Lord appears and obstructs the path! (13)

An incomparably powerful being stood amidst the passage of time, its terrifying aura stirring up the long river of a region, preventing it from flowing calmly and peacefully.

The river of time is an extremely special existence.

This boundless and limitless river extends and unfolds at every moment and at every node, because countless choices and countless variables, and the convergence of overlapping timelines of reality and illusion, have created this magnificent and unique place.

Parallel universes, illusory reflections, variable spacetime... constantly arising and ceasing, constantly changing.

Normally, only the pinnacle existence of the primordial universe—the Great Luo Administrator, also known as the Will of Heaven—can freely exercise their authority to manipulate the endless spacetime and countless incarnations, subtly shifting cause and effect and altering the future trend.

But at this moment, there is one more exception.

It can also disrupt the future on a large scale and has the ability to interfere with infinite spacetime!

Moreover, what it relies on is not authority, but the purest power!

That power, all-encompassing and encompassing the three thousand Great Daos into one, in a near-perfect arrangement, forcefully shook the stability of time.

Without a doubt, this powerful individual possesses terrifying strength.

Standing tall amidst the long river of time, a single shout from it extinguished countless lives within its flow, staining the river crimson with blood. Furthermore, the surging ripples of the Great Dao spread outwards, impacting the distant warships that were speeding by, causing these warships, inscribed with portions of the Great Luo Dao traces, to tremble violently and be forced to a halt!

Feng Xi felt a great terror.

At this moment, he had a constant buzzing in his ears, blurred vision, hot, moist liquid flowing from his nostrils, and a slightly rusty, metallic taste in his mouth.

He was injured by Dao Yin's shockwave!

In fact, if Feng Xi hadn't activated her innate spiritual treasure quickly enough to avert further damage, she probably would have already collapsed.

Without any deliberate targeting, but merely an unintentional spread of power, it was enough to easily severely injure or kill a Taiyi... If such a powerful being were to be called a Daluo, Feng Xi wouldn't doubt it.

However, the transcendent perspective granted by the innate spiritual treasure he wielded told him that this was merely a Taiyi, at the same level as him!

frenzied!

Feng Xi's pupils contracted to their maximum size as she, along with the little witches who had been startled out by the commotion, opened their eyes wide to watch.

As she watched, Feng Xi's eyes began to twitch uncontrollably.

"W-wh-this... this box-stacking game, is it really that fun?"

Feng Xi was shocked.

With the blessing of the innate spiritual treasure, and because that Taiyi did not conceal the reason, the source of his power was revealed to him without reservation.

The praise for Stack Box is no exaggeration.

God knows!

What kind of madness was this powerful being?

Taiyi is comparable to the world, the master of heaven and earth... but generally speaking, there are limits to it.

Generally speaking, stacking three layers of boxes, from small thousand to large thousand, is about right.

—It is said that those ancient innate saints, once they break through to Taiyi, are equal to the vast world, and their inherent advantages are fully revealed.

But now?

This powerful figure in Feng Xi's eyes completely shattered his worldview.

It must be admitted that this person has astonishing attainments in the field of comprehending and researching the dimensions of space and time... He forcibly condensed thousands of dimensions into one body, and then reconstructed the dimensions of space and time with his incomparably profound attainments of the Three Thousand Great Daos, evolving his own essence of Dao fruits to an inconceivable degree.

He stacked 10,800 layers of different dimensions!

In every dimension, countless beings exist—these are the abstract evolutions of the bones, blood, and spirit of the powerful, like Pangu creating the world, his body transforming into all things, and his spirit becoming the soul of all living beings.

And those upper and lower dimensions, clearly distinguished and orderly, each layer stronger than the last, each layer clearer and more perfect than the last.

When beings from lower dimensions break through the boundaries and ascend to higher dimensions, they become like ants.

One moment he can shatter the universe with his fist, the next he can't even break a rock.

This peculiar rule, stacked up 10,800 times in one go, left those who saw it speechless.

However, no one can deny its power!

That highest level world, so vast and expansive, appeared to Feng Xi as being roughly one percent the size of the primordial continent!

Above, there are many beings of the Taiyi level active.

All of this, when condensed and concentrated, becomes the ultimate Taiyi Supreme!

He stands tall amidst the ages, exuding an ancient, vast, sacred, and supreme aura. A primordial energy swirls around him, reflecting the long river of time and scattering countless stars and the universe with boundless brilliance. Each point of brilliance is a vast and boundless world!

As he shouted, a terrifying wave spread, and his figure began to rise, as if he were about to transform into the most ancient and primordial creator god!

One ray of the Dao's radiance after another shone forth, each ray of the Dao's radiance being a fundamental law in the primordial world, a phenomenon that had been comprehended to perfection... At this moment, thousands upon thousands of Daos shone together, dazzling and unparalleled.

The light cleaved through the hazy dust of time, radiating outwards inch by inch. Along with this process, millions of tiny, star-like entities leaped out from the river… Upon closer inspection, these were the faces and figures of this powerful being, avatars sent into parallel universes and reflecting the primordial chaos over countless eons!

Now, they all jump out, returning to their true selves, and transforming all the vast magical power and profound insights they have accumulated with all their might into resources for proving the Dao.

Countless clones accumulated almost limitless magical power, filling the 10,800-layer box, and then... collapsed! crumbled! burned!

The dazzling flames made the ancestral energy move and the Dao light shine. A transcendent aura was spreading, causing the entire river of time to tremble!

With unparalleled magical power and perfect understanding of the Great Dao, he embarks on a path to heaven, to prove the Great Luo Dao, and from then on, he is the one who holds the reins of the Heavenly Will and the one who controls the chessboard of the primordial world!

Feng Xi witnessed it all and was deeply moved beyond words.

He looked at the true body of the enlightened one, which transformed into chaos. His form vanished, leaving only a dark and gloomy space that evolved endlessly and infinitely.

Amidst layers of chaos, countless dimensions, and endless void, a glimmer of light is sublimating... Feng Xi's own Taiyi perspective can no longer see it.

Fortunately, with the aid of the Nine Netherworld Diagram, his vision was infinitely elevated, allowing him to see the essence. He could see the light of nature slowly rising to an unknown height, enduring countless naturally occurring tribulations and trials along the way, until he reached the end, standing above the boundless heavens, stepping into the highest dimension of spacetime that he could not comprehend or imagine at his current level.

That belongs to the level of a Great Luo Immortal!

At that time, he will no longer be himself, but He, the One, the Infinite, the Great Dao, the Eternal Freedom of Infinite Time and Space!

As the radiance of sexuality was about to reach its end, and the primordial world was about to welcome a brand new Great Luo Immortal, Feng Xi heard the sighs of the Great Witch beside her.

"To be able to transcend from countless sentient beings and attain the Great Luo realm—this is truly a talent, but... what a pity! What a pity!"

Mu sighed, feeling sorry for him.

"What's a pity?" Feng Xi asked, puzzled.

"It's a pity that times have changed!" Mu sighed. "This Dao-proving cultivator is a rogue cultivator, but he has quite good comprehension."

"Did you know? His current strength in the Taiyi realm even surpasses that of many innate saints before they attained the Great Luo realm!" In a short time, Mu had clearly seen through the background and life of this Daoist. "Although he took many detours because of this... it is still amazing that he has reached this point despite taking detours."

"He comprehended and cultivated the Three Thousand Great Daos, and then, through a fortuitous encounter, obtained a cheat-like ability by hunting down a transmigrator. He then split into millions of avatars, sending them to various timelines and spaces. Through countless years, he forcefully comprehended and analyzed all the fundamental rules of this primordial world, reaching the pinnacle of perfection!"

"In terms of his achievements in this fundamental field, he has already reached the same level as Ronaldo."

Treating a law as a single word, this Taiyi has the same literacy level as the Daluo, and can clearly recognize all kinds of rare characters!

"Is there something wrong with this?" Feng Xi asked, bewildered.

"It's not that he's wrong, it's just that as a rogue cultivator without a master, he got stuck in a rut and went astray." Mu shook his head. "To become a Great Luo Immortal, you don't need to master this level. You just need to meet certain conditions, be able to write your own Great Dao philosophy, and build a foundation that is universally applicable. The programming and application of the laws are the main things... He did too much useless work for nothing."

"The perfection of the basic rules can be easily achieved once you reach the Great Luo realm... After all, the difference between the Great Luo and Taiyi realms isn't just in terms of pure strength, but in their level of life!"

"You've lived two lives, so you should be aware of that... Do mortals and immortals have the same ability to study the world?"

Feng Xi suddenly realized.

Different.

Really different.

The life form of mortals is too low.

They study the world through a series of arduous processes, including conjecture and experimentation, in order to arrive at a truth within a relatively limited scope.

And immortals?

Even Feng Xi, who had just transmigrated to the prehistoric world and became a novice little witch at the True Immortal level, could directly see a part of the operation of the world's laws.

All he needs to do is record what he sees, then do a rough statistical analysis, and he will reach a level that mortal civilization could never achieve even after thousands of years.

This is a world of difference in the level of life!

The same applies to Da Luo and Tai Yi.

The laws that Taiyi beings find extremely difficult to grasp, and almost impossible to fully comprehend, can be easily understood by those at the Daluo level.

"It's actually a minor issue," Mu said. "It's a personal hobby. Some people have this kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder. They feel uneasy if they don't collect everything they can and max out their skill proficiency."

"As long as one can ultimately attain the Great Luo, the process is not important; what matters is the result."

"But the biggest problem now is... he won't get that result!"

"All my life's work will be wasted!"

"He dares to seek enlightenment without severing his three corpses or paying homage to any powerful sect?!" Mu sneered. "What a fool... thinking that in this chaotic world, as long as you have the ability, you're all set and don't care about the harsh realities of society. Just you wait, he's about to die!"

"The moment you reach the summit is the moment you fall into the abyss!"

"Another innate spiritual treasure has been added to the primordial world... Alas! Alas!"

The great shaman asserted.

Feng Xi, on the contrary, seemed somewhat confused.

Paying homage to the mountain stronghold... This expression, brimming with underworld connotations, is sure to pique anyone's curiosity.

As he watched the unprecedented spectacle of enlightenment, he, true to his learning spirit of asking questions when he didn't understand, inquired, "Paying homage to a mountain? Who are we paying homage to? And what does it have to do with severing the three corpses?"

"Since you know about severing the three corpses... then what do you know about the three corpses based on?" Mu asked in return.

"Rumor has it it's a Primordial Spiritual Treasure?" Feng Xi said, her voice gradually fading as her expression turned strange. "Wait! A Primordial Spiritual Treasure... isn't that a Great Luo Immortal?"

"Does becoming a new Great Luo require the lives of three Great Luo? Something doesn't seem right here."

"Yes and no," Mu Youyou said. "First of all, 'innate spiritual treasure' is just a rather general term."

"Furthermore, the Three Corpses Possession doesn't mean refining the innate spiritual treasure... How could Taiyi possibly completely refine an innate spiritual treasure?"

"The so-called 'Three Corpses Possession' and 'Entrusting with Spiritual Treasures'... originally meant gaining the approval of the Great Luo Immortal represented by the innate spiritual treasure, who was willing to vouch for it!"

"The Three Corpses require three innate spiritual treasures, representing three ordinary Great Luo Immortals!"

"The lives of the three Great Luo Immortals are staked together to guarantee the success of the cultivator, promising that if any problems arise, there will be joint punishment."

"Of course, there are some different situations when it comes to specifics... A weak Grand Luo and a Great Divine Power are definitely different." Mu Pingjing explained, "A weak Grand Luo can only guarantee one quota, and it requires three people to do so together; if there is a problem, the consequences will be very serious."

"While powerful supernatural beings and top-tier experts uphold the Three Corpses Rules established by Hongjun, they each have their own ways to circumvent them, giving their disciples and subordinates the green light."

"Disciples of the Xuanmen, inheriting the lineage of the Three Pure Ones, have the endorsement of these three great supernatural beings and the guarantee of the behemoth that is the Xuanmen. Therefore, the basis for severing the Three Corpses is the Three Pure Realms and the Three Pure Heavens, which are the Primordial, Profound, and Primordial Qi!"

"This is the Xuanmen (mysterious sect)."

"To enter the Buddhist order, one must rely on the three corpses to cultivate relics, attain an indestructible golden body, and each person must venerate the Buddhas of the three worlds, attaching themselves to the Buddhist order's assets and receiving guarantees."

Mu Yiyi explained to Feng Xi the methods used by various powerful figures to deal with the Three Corpses for their subordinates, which broadened Feng Xi's horizons.

The key is not whether one possesses a primordial spiritual treasure, but whether one has a powerful backer and how strong that backer is.

With a powerful backer, these problems can be solved with ease... For example, if someone can get close to the great god Pangu, Pangu will reward them with a heaven-opening axe. If this axe is disassembled, three innate treasures can be obtained.

"The so-called Three Corpses... are they just the binding rules established by the Heavenly Will that rules the primordial world, for their own benefit?" Feng Xi thought for a moment, then dared not continue thinking about it.

The phrase "paying homage to the mountain" used by the herdsman is actually a very vivid and descriptive one.

These days, it's hard to get by without siding with a powerful faction!

"However, on the other hand... although one has to pay homage to powerful figures, the channels for advancement haven't been completely blocked."

After all, the liches are locked in a standoff.

"Both the demon race and the witch race need the replenishment of new blood for the Great Luo... The channels for advancement will not be blocked until either side achieves complete victory."

Feng Xi pondered for a moment, then asked the Great Shaman, "I already know about the Three Corpses Possession Technique of the Xuanmen and Buddhist sects, but what about the demon race and my witch race?"

"The demon race worships the stars, and their three corpses correspond to the sun, the moon, and the celestial bodies," Mu said. "As for my race?"

"Our clan does not openly discuss severing the three corpses, indicating that we are not on the same side as Hongjun... Of course, there are similar requirements in secret."

"The Wu tribe reveres the origin, and from the origin, Yin and Yang are further differentiated."

"For example, if a minor witch wants to advance to a major witch in the Way of Wood, then he should worship the origin of the primordial universe of wood that the Ancestral Witch Jumang possesses, attach himself to it, and evolve Jia wood and Yi wood, and then cycle and evolve to achieve perfection."

"It's similar to the method of 'severing the three corpses,' which also requires a guarantee."

As Mu spoke, he suddenly laughed, "Actually, no matter how these routines change, they all boil down to the same thing."

"To get promoted, you have to get on the right track, choose a patron, and sign a contract to sell yourself into servitude..."

"Moreover, that's not enough... The person with great supernatural powers must also consider whether the person being guaranteed is valuable, of good character, loyal enough, and capable of generating sufficient profits in the future before agreeing to provide a guarantee."

Feng Xi clicked his tongue in amazement.

Is it really that difficult to become a Great Luo?

Having enough capital is not enough; it's not enough to directly participate in the game of the prehistoric world, to invest in building factories, and to engage in product production and market competition.

We need to report the construction to the authorities in charge of this land first!

A guarantor is required!

This is the severing of the three corpses!

Once you've written your application, received approval from one or more influential figures, passed the review, and had it stamped with their seal, you're considered successful.

If you don't have a high-ranking official's stamp and instead go to a regular clerk... then you're asking those clerks to risk everything to get things done.

The operation was successful, and we have gained another comrade-in-arms who will help us in times of need.

If the operation fails, we'll all be doomed.

Only after going through a series of complicated operations can one attain enlightenment, become a member of the Heavenly Will camp, participate in the development of the primordial world, and engage in capital operations!

"Seriously...I can't mess with this!"

Feng Xi's eyes twitched; at this moment, he didn't know what to say.

He was very convinced by the path of social and realistic enlightenment.

"After the first conference of Zixiao Palace, these rules and regulations were engraved in the origin of the primordial world... Not severing the three corpses? Becoming a Great Luo Immortal is extremely difficult." Mu revealed a meaningful smile.

"Is it because we will be attacked by all the great Luo Immortals?" Feng Xi guessed.

Mu glanced at him. "How could that be? We, the Great Luo Immortals, are not such narrow-minded people!"

"Your thinking is completely wrong!"

"The rule of severing the three corpses, although set by Hongjun and approved by Da Luo... has its own reasons behind it."

"It's all because of the good deeds of Demon Ancestor Rahu!" Mu said with absolute certainty. "Before the end of the last era, this Demon Ancestor shouted, 'The Tao is one foot high, but the Demon is ten feet high...'"

"I wonder what kind of unfathomable power he used to actually shake the Pangu Dao Fruit and successfully set up a calamity for cultivators in the primordial universe!"

"From now on, anyone who advances to the Great Luo realm will be blocked by a Great Demon. We Great Luo cultivators will be unable to stop or hinder them!"

"Fortunately, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, with his immense wisdom, devised a solution: the Three Corpses Technique was used to attach itself to the Great Luo Immortal, allowing the guarantor to intervene when the demon blocked the path, helping to withstand the calamity!"

"Of course, some rogue cultivators either don't know, or they know but don't believe it, confident that they are invincible and can defeat even a Great Luo Immortal..." Mu said regretfully, "It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words."

"We won't pay any special attention to him; we'll just watch his downfall quietly." The high priest shrugged and gestured with his eyes, "Look, the great demon blocking the way has already appeared."

Feng Xi followed the gaze.

Suddenly, a small, dark boat appeared, drifting with the current, flowing downstream on the turbulent river of time.

On the small boat, a figure dressed in black and shrouded in demonic energy sat cross-legged. He did not have an imposing aura, but when Feng Xi saw him, she felt a chill in her heart and sensed an indescribable deathly silence.

"The Great Free Heaven Demon Lord!" Mu enunciated each word clearly, "One of the top ten most powerful beings among the eighty-one Demon Lords under the command of Demon Ancestor Rahu!"
