The primordial era began with the mythological age.

Chapter 95 You're kidding me! (10,000-word update, please subscribe and vote!)

Taiyi withdrew his gaze from the sword embryo and looked at another Dao tree next to him.

He initially believed that he had "traveled" to this primordial universe because of this Dao Tree.

However, after cultivating for so long, "time travel" may be another form.

In the Great Hall of Youdu, the mysterious person who plotted against Tu Bo said that there was a Chaotic Era in the past, and even other Chaotic Universes beyond the Primordial World.

The emperor said he possessed innate wisdom.

The previous chaotic era, and then awakening innate wisdom in this chaotic era?

Taiyi is not entirely sure, but it seems less likely to have come from other chaotic universes.

The Taoist teachings of Tu Bo made him realize that the water was extremely deep!

Collecting his thoughts, he made a mental movement, and the Dao Tree, which was covered with Dao Seeds, began to wither.

His Xuanhuang Dao Tree grew more branches and sprouted many green buds.

These green shoots represent various Taoist arts and supernatural powers derived from the Taoist tree.

After cultivation is complete, it will grow into a Dao Leaf.

When one reaches the True God Realm, Daoist phenomena will appear.

The power of spacetime permeates the realm of the God Lord.

In the realm of the Divine Lord, a single leaf contains an entire world.

Now, on the Xuanhuang Dao Tree, various divine abilities at the level of the Divine Lord Dao Realm, such as the Manipulating Creation, the Primordial Five-Colored Divine Light, the Primordial Five Elements Sword Light, the Five Dragons Dao Technique, the Five Elements Great Escape, the Taishan Seal, the Opening of Heaven, and the Heavenly Eye, each have a Dao Realm manifested on their respective leaves.

Within the Dao realm, all sorts of mysterious and wondrous supernatural powers operate and manifest.

And the branch of the Five Elements Taoist magic and supernatural powers also shows signs of blossoming.

"I will unify the Five Elements Daoist arts and supernatural powers with the innate five-colored divine light."

"When the innate five-colored divine light is unleashed, it will not only sweep away all things, but also open the heavens, ward off evil spirits, bring the dead back to life, and heal flesh and bones..."

"The same applies to all physical supernatural powers; they are integrated and transformed into one, blossoming and bearing fruit!"

Taiyi thought to himself that the other Dao Tree had already been completely devoured and absorbed by his own Xuanhuang Dao Tree.

In an instant, all sorts of Taoist arts and supernatural powers flowed through his mind.

The various Taoist arts, such as generating light, penetrating stone, communicating with spirits, controlling objects, shifting scenery and changing shadows, and transforming with fingers, can be mastered in the blink of an eye and reach the highest level of inheritance.

For example, spirit communication is a Taoist art that allows one to communicate with wild beasts. It is similar to spirit communication, but far inferior. Taiyi Shi then incorporated it into the art of spirit communication.

For example, "Light Radiance" is actually just a small spell that emits light.

Seeing through stone, the ability to perceive things through rocks and walls, is not difficult. What is difficult is another supernatural power: seeing through walls.

The ability to see beyond walls allows one to perceive beyond endless time and space, and to discern the past and the future.

He cultivated his divine eye, which allowed him to see things from afar, but he was still far from being able to see the past or the future.

Moreover, his third eye is more about the Great Dao, supernatural powers, and the essence, energy, and spirit.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Taiyi sensed that an outsider had broken into the underworld.

The Five Internal Organs God immediately emerged from the Primordial Spirit's body, and with one step, arrived at Mount Taiming in the Netherworld.

At the bottom of the vast Netherworld, within the Yellow Springs Sea.

One after another, ghosts and spirits appeared, and someone immediately cried out in alarm, "It's the Yellow Springs!"

He felt his armor, the demon fork in his hand, and his own mark being instantly erased.

"It can't be considered the Yellow Springs; at most, it's comparable to the waters of the Yellow Corpse Lake, and it's not even as good as the River Styx."

A bull-headed demon god at the Divine Lord realm spoke, but then asked in confusion, "Where is this place? How can there be such true water?"

His name is Niu Yao. He came here by following his intuition, knowing that there was a person from the mortal realm who cultivated the Great Dao of the Netherworld, reflecting the Netherworld, and that this person happened to be in his territory.

But now it seems that's not the case.

Looking around, he saw that there were quite a few people like him in this sea.

There are deities, ghost kings like Him, and even fierce gods, corpse demons, and evil spirits.

This made Him shudder: "The blessed land that has been opened up is so vast; it must be no ordinary deity."

Thinking of this, He felt a desire to retreat, but did not move. Instead, He looked at the other ghosts and gods.

A ghoul laughed loudly and opened its mouth, frantically swallowing seawater.

Evil spirits and fierce gods attacked other ghosts and gods, creating a huge upheaval.

For those at the Divine Lord or Divine Sovereign realms, this true water is indeed nothing.

Suddenly, the laughing, sea-devouring corpse's voice abruptly stopped, and many ghosts and gods looked over, their pupils shrinking instantly.

Suddenly, the corpse demon's body dried up, and in the blink of an eye, all its flesh and skin disappeared, leaving only a skeleton. As the dark current swirled, the skeleton was also dissolved.

As for the primordial spirit, it was already scattered by the undercurrent before the skeleton was dissolved, leaving only the primordial spirit, which was also completely destroyed in the blink of an eye.

A corpse demon at the Divine Lord Realm vanished without a trace, its body and soul extinguished, sending chills down the spines of the other ghosts and gods.

Those who were fighting stopped immediately.

Then, the Ghost King sensed the danger and turned to run without hesitation.

At that very moment, the undercurrents at the bottom of the Yellow Springs surged and engulfed the several fierce gods and evil spirits who were trying to escape, gradually disintegrating them amidst their mournful screams and roars.

The remaining dozen or so ghosts and gods were also caught up in the swarm, and they all used their supernatural powers to fight back fiercely.

But they soon discovered that their supernatural powers had been weakened and their own Dao had been suppressed.

Niu Yao was horrified. The master of this place was definitely not some god or lord. The Netherworld Dao here was far too vast.

His mind raced, and he immediately gave up resisting, gritting his teeth and shouting loudly, "May I ask whose sacred land this is? We had no intention of offending you, so please, great god, show us mercy!"

"That's clever!"

A soft laugh rang out, "Come on up!"

As the dark currents around him disappeared, Niu Yao was overjoyed. Then, with trepidation, he transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.

Other spirits followed suit, and sure enough, the undercurrents disappeared one after another. Only those few fierce gods and evil spirits could not beg for mercy.

Together with Niu Yao, more than a dozen ghosts and gods flew to the sky above the Yellow Springs Sea, and were all stunned when they looked around.

"this……"

"Have we returned to the underworld?"

A god-level demon looked bewildered.

Niu Yao asked his neighbor, "Ma Cheng, have you ever heard of any great deity who created the Netherworld?"

The horse-faced demon Ma Cheng and Niu Yao did not have a good relationship and often fought, but at this moment they had long put those grudges behind them. Looking at this realm that looked very similar to the Netherworld, he swallowed hard and said, "Never heard of it."

"I've heard that the blessed land created by the Lord of Mount Tai also gave rise to a Netherworld. All living beings of Mount Tai enter it after death, and only those who achieve nothing are released into the River Styx. But here..."

Ma Cheng's voice trembled slightly: "This place... seems to be a self-contained system, with the Yellow Springs Sea and the River Styx..."

"Have you finished watching?"

A gentle voice rang out.

The spirits and deities, including Niu Yao and Ma Cheng, all looked in the direction of the sound, their gazes piercing through layers of darkness to see the majestic figure standing atop the mountain.

They also vaguely saw that above this miniature version of the Netherworld, there was another realm.

However, the Great Dao here greatly suppresses them; even those at the Divine Lord level can only unleash the power of a True God.

For a time, Niu Yao and the other ghosts and gods dared not be negligent, and they all followed the Styx River flowing down from Taiming Mountain upstream, finally arriving at the mountain peak.

Upon seeing Taiyi, Niu Yao and the other spirits bowed deeply and said, "We pay our respects to the Great God!"

Ma Cheng then cautiously asked, "May I ask your name, esteemed master?"

Taiyi laughed upon hearing this: "I am Taiyi of the human race!"

The Taiyi clan of the human race?

Ma Cheng's horse-like face was full of doubt; he had never heard of such a great god among the Five-Colored Human Race of the Divine Court.

Niu Yao was startled and blurted out, "May I ask who this Master Taiyi is, who pioneered the acquired godhood cultivation system, as well as the path to godhood through supernatural powers and medicine, and was bestowed the title of Five Treasures Divine Lord by the Earth Mother Goddess?"

The spirits and deities, including Ma Cheng, also realized what was happening.

For the beings of the Netherworld, the acquired cultivation system for becoming a god and the way of medicine are not of much concern.

The former is unsuitable, and the latter is equally unsuitable.

As for achieving godhood through supernatural powers, those who have already become gods do not care about it.

On the contrary, the Earth Mother's decree is still somewhat remembered. As soon as Niu Yao mentioned it, Ma Cheng and the other ghosts and gods recalled it.

but.

They remembered that this Master Taiyi, who was bestowed the title of God-King, seemed to be... a true god?

Only a few thousand years have passed?

Ma Cheng and the other ghosts and spirits looked puzzled, thinking that Niu Yao had probably made a mistake.

Taiyi laughed and said, "Indeed, it's kind of you to remember me, fellow Daoist."

It's really him!

All the ghosts and gods were terrified!

Then they looked around at this netherworld, and finally looked at Taiyi with disbelief.

So, is it a true god entering the realm of the god-king?

Or, could it be the transition from the God Lord realm to the God Sovereign realm?

But as fellow deities, what are they?

impossible!

It must be that the Divine Lord has entered the realm of the Divine King!

While it's an exaggeration to say that he gained the favor of the Earth Mother Goddess and cultivated to the God King realm in such a short time, it's not impossible.

Once one cultivates to become a God-King, condenses the gate to the Great Dao, becomes a self-contained entity with strict Daoist laws, and suppresses them, then that's normal.

Niu Yao reacted the fastest, immediately smiling and saying, "Congratulations, Master, on becoming a God-King!"

Taiyi chuckled upon hearing this: "I have not yet become a God-King; I am currently only a God-Lord."

Niu Yao and the other ghosts and gods were all stunned.

God?

You're kidding me!

If you are a god, then what are we?

A fake god?

Niu Yao and the other divine lords found it hard to believe. They had seen many powerful divine lords before, but they had never seen a divine lord like Taiyi who had evolved a small Netherworld and suppressed them so terrifyingly.

Taiyi knew what these ghosts and spirits were thinking, but he didn't explain. Instead, he asked, "Fellow Daoists, have you come here to bring me calamity?"

When Niu Yao and the other ghosts and gods returned to their divine form, they were immediately embarrassed and uneasy.

Even if Taiyi was a divine ruler, they dared not act recklessly at this moment.

But... they really came to bring calamity.

Those in the mortal realm who cultivate the Great Dao of the Netherworld, except for those like Feng Bai who have achieved the Dao of Connecting Yang and Entering the Netherworld, generally reflect the Netherworld when they reach the realm of God Lord or God Sovereign.

The spirits and demons of the underworld will sense this and then invade.

This has been the case since ancient times, and over time, the concept of "descent of calamity" arose.

But now, it's unclear who is whose calamity!

"Ahem, Master, we were unaware that you were here, otherwise we would never have dared to come."

Ma Chengcheng was filled with trepidation.

The other ghosts and spirits nodded in unison.

Taiyi looked at them and said with a smile, "At this time, out of respect for the Earth Mother Goddess, I might as well let it go, but..."

Seizing the opportunity, Niu Yao quickly said, "If the Master has any requests, please speak freely, and we will do our utmost!"

Ma Cheng and the other spirits quickly nodded, "Exactly! Exactly!"

"We are willing to obey your commands!"

Taiyi nodded in satisfaction, then took out a sheet of merit paper, from which the Heavenly Jade Purple Brush appeared. He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, please write your true names on this, leaving your Dao imprint, so that you may answer the call of our human race in the future and do what you can!"

Niu Yao and the others' expressions changed drastically.

This is an attempt to enslave them!

Taiyi explained with a smile, "It is not about enslaving you fellow Daoists."

"If it were about enslavement, your very presence would have been captured by me the moment you entered this place. If you wanted to enslave, there would be no need for such measures."

After saying that, he performed the art of exorcising spirits.

There was no need to know the true names of these ghosts and gods. By capturing a wisp of the Great Dao's energy and secretly channeling Dao techniques, two ghosts and gods at the Divine Lord Realm immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "Greetings, Master!"

The ghosts and gods, including Niu Yao, felt their scalps tingle and their hair stand on end at the sight.

They were completely unaware that these two demons at the God Lord level had been controlled.

Taiyi looked at Niu Yao and the others as if they were ghosts and gods, then leisurely withdrew his magic and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there is no reward for asking you fellow Daoists for your help."

"I believe I have some attainments in the path of the Netherworld. Fellow Daoists, you are welcome to come and listen to my teachings and expound the Dao."

Upon hearing this, Niu Yao and the others' expressions softened considerably.

Mutual benefit and win-win, that's fine.

Besides, there's no other way at the moment.

Either die, or become a laborer for this man in front of you.

The choice between the two options seems straightforward and requires little thought.

"Master, if you have any needs, please summon me!"

As Niu Yao spoke, he reached out and took the Heavenly Jade Purple Brush, writing his true name on the Merit Gold Paper and leaving his Dao Imprint.

Ma Cheng and the other thirteen spirits also followed Taiyi's instructions.

Taiyi smiled with satisfaction. After all the ghosts and gods left their true names and Dao imprints, he pointed and stone benches appeared one by one. He said, "Please sit down. If you have any doubts, feel free to ask."

A slap followed by a sweet treat is the best way to motivate them to work harder in the future. Furthermore, a reward system should be established to encourage them to work diligently on their own.

The spirits and deities, including Niu Yao, were overjoyed to hear this. Tai Yi's cultivation was clearly far superior to theirs. They quickly sat down and asked questions.

……

The primordial spirit and the five internal organs were busy with their own tasks, but this did not affect Taiyi's actions.

Having cultivated to the level of a deity, and with his continued magical power not achieved overnight, and having spent over 1,500 years in seclusion, it's time for him to go out and see the world.

In Yiqi Palace.

Taiyi opened his eyes, stretched his body, and suppressed his aura before standing up, walking out of the temple, and coming to the Five Treasures Hall.

He sensed that Houtu, Yidi, and his elder brother Juling were all here.

"Brother, you've cultivated yourself into a god?"

Before they even entered the hall, Julingshi's joyful voice rang out.

As Taiyi stepped into the hall, he saw that all three men's eyes were on him.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Houtu, on achieving the status of a Divine Lord!"

Tai Yi laughed.

Houtu smiled radiantly: "Congratulations to you too!"

Taiyi looked at Juling and smiled, "Brother, your physical body has become much stronger. Congratulations!"

The Giant Spirit Clan, with a hint of resentment, only just noticed me!

Upon seeing this, Taiyi immediately asked, "Brother, have you successfully cultivated the Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven?"

Giant Spirit's emotions came and went quickly; upon hearing this, he immediately replied, "Of course!"

"With your reminder, my virtuous brother, I used the axe technique to unify all the Great Dao, transforming it into supernatural power, and evolving into a grotto-heaven."

"Unfortunately, my understanding of the Great Dao of the Netherworld is still shallow, so I cannot use it."

Taiyi was very happy for Juling and quickly said, "No rush, no rush. The path is long and arduous. Take your time to figure it out, and you will eventually succeed."

Giant Spirit was delighted and said, "Hahaha, that's exactly what I thought too!"

Taiyi then looked at Yidi.

She gained a great deal from her trip back to Tu Bo's past memories, and she herself was already at the level of a Divine Lord.

"The Netherworld has already evolved."

Yi Di Shi said, "However, I still need time to unify the Dao Realm you mentioned."

Taiyi laughed and said, "With your Daoist heart, cultivation, and wisdom, it's only a matter of time."

In terms of comprehension, the Yi Di clan far surpasses the Ju Ling clan.

Finally, he looked at Houtu, but before he could speak, Houtu laughed and said, "Don't ask me yet, let us see your achievements."

Tai Yi was speechless for a moment, then laughed and said, "Of course!"

Having said that, he used the Five-Colored Divine Light to send the three of them into his blessed land.

Thank you so much for the generous donation from fellow Daoist [Stinky Baby Likes Men]! (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
