Reborn Shang Zhou, angry at the sage Nuwa at the beginning

Di Xin's gaze was solemn, and a communication jade talisman materialized at his fingertips:
"The miasma forest in the Southern Continent is shrouded in poisonous miasma year-round, and the spiritual energy is thin. No cult branch has been detected there before. This moving chaotic aura is probably related to the anomaly that Ye Chengyu sensed."

He handed the jade talisman to Ye Chengyu.
"The three of you must immediately head to the Miasma Forest to investigate and find out the source of the chaotic aura. Manjushri Bodhisattva of Mount Ling and Chijingzi of Kunlun have been ordered to provide assistance and will meet you at the edge of the forest."

The three accepted the order.

Without daring to delay, he rode his sword and sped towards the Southern Continent.

The landscapes of the Three Realms along the way have returned to life; smoke curls from the fields of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and believers gather at the foot of the pagodas of Xiniu Hezhou.
On the frozen wasteland of Beiju Luzhou, cultivators were methodically setting up rune arrays to reinforce the seal.

But Ye Chengyu's unease grew stronger, and the resonance of the Flowing Light Sword became more and more frequent, as if it were responding to some kind of power of the same origin.

Seven days later,

The three arrived at the outer edge of the miasma forest.

The edge of the forest was filled with miasma, which was dark green. Inhaling it made one feel a burning sensation in the throat and stagnation in the flow of internal energy.

Manjushri Bodhisattva and Chijingzi were already waiting here. Manjushri Bodhisattva held a Ruyi scepter and his whole body was bathed in Buddha light, which dispelled the surrounding miasma and created a clear and bright place.
Chi Jingzi, dressed in a red Taoist robe, held a Bagua mirror in his hand, its light flashing, as he explored the situation inside the forest.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, Master Xuanchen, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan,"

Manjushri Bodhisattva clasped his hands in reverence. “The poisonous miasma in this miasma forest contains a faint chaotic power. Ordinary cultivators will have their minds eroded if they enter for even a short time. I have used Buddhist light to purify and create a passage that leads directly to the core area of ​​the forest, but the passage can only be maintained for three hours.”

Chi Jingzi added, "The Bagua Mirror detected a young cultivator deep in the forest, and the chaotic aura emanated from him. This young man's movements are strange, as if he is searching for something, and the chaotic power around him can merge with the miasma, making him extremely good at concealing his aura."

Ye Chengyu gripped the Flowing Light Sword tightly, and the power of spacetime condensed around him: "There is no time to lose, let's set off immediately. Master Xuanchen, please use your Buddhist light to protect everyone and resist the invasion of miasma; Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, please use your Tai Chi power to detect the traps and illusions around us; Bodhisattva Manjushri and Senior Chijingzi, please cover the rear and guard against any emergencies."

Everyone nodded.

We entered the miasma forest together through the Buddha's light channel of Manjushri Bodhisattva.

Inside the forest, ancient trees reach for the sky, their trunks entwined with dark green poisonous vines, and the ground is covered with rotting leaves, each step sinking deep into them.

The poisonous miasma churned outside the Buddha's light, hissing as it tried to break through the defenses.

Qingxuan continuously waved his Taiji whisk, and the black and white energies seeped into the surrounding environment, dissolving the chaotic runes hidden behind the poisonous vines one by one.

After traveling for half an hour, the miasma ahead suddenly became even thicker, and the boy's whispered voice could be faintly heard from within the dark green mist.

Ye Chengyu gestured for everyone to stop, and drew his Flowing Light Sword, its silver light piercing through the miasma: "The source of the chaotic aura lies a hundred feet ahead."

The group stealthily made their way through a dense thicket of poisonous vines, and then a wide-open valley came into view.

In the middle of the valley,

A boy dressed in coarse cloth sat cross-legged. He looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate features, but his eyes shimmered with a faint gray light, the color of the primordial chaos. A thin layer of chaotic energy surrounded him, intertwining with the surrounding miasma to form an eerie barrier.

The boy seemed to sense someone approaching, slowly opening his eyes. His gray gaze swept over Ye Chengyu and the others, and a strange smile, incongruous with his age, curled at the corner of his lips.
"The power of time and space of the successor of the Human Emperor, the purifying light of Buddhism, the profound energy of Tai Chi of Taoism... it seems that three 'distinguished guests' have been gathered together."

Ye Chengyu was shocked. Although the boy's voice was immature, it carried an ancient and evil aura, indicating that the chaotic origin within him had already developed its own consciousness.

"Who are you? Why are you possessed by the primordial chaos?"

Ye Chengyu asked in a deep voice, his Flowing Light Sword pointing directly at the boy, the power of time and space locking onto the other's aura.

The young man chuckled and vanished from his spot, reappearing behind Ye Chengyu the next second. Chaotic energy transformed into sharp claws, reaching for Ye Chengyu's back.

"So fast!"

Qingxuan exclaimed in surprise and swung out the Taiji whisk in time, the black and white energies forming a barrier that blocked the Chaos Claw.

The claws collided with the barrier, producing a piercing sound, and the dark green miasma surged instantly.

"who am I?"

The boy's figure flickered uncertainly in the miasma, his voice coming from all directions.
“I am the rebirth of chaos, the end of the three realms. You destroyed eighteen branches of the evil cult and ruined the Chaos Rebirth Pill, but you did not know that the origin of chaos had already found a new vessel.”

Manjushri Bodhisattva, holding a ruyi scepter, unleashed a burst of Buddhist light that transformed into countless golden arrows, shooting towards the figure of the boy amidst the miasma:

"You wretched creature! The power of chaos has wreaked havoc on the Three Realms. Today, I will utterly purify the chaotic essence within you!"

The golden arrow pierced through the miasma, but it could not hit the boy's figure. Instead, it was swallowed up by the chaotic energy around him and turned into gray energy.

Chi Jingzi activated the Bagua Mirror, its light shining directly on the boy's brow: "The chaotic origin within this boy's body has deeply merged with his flesh and soul. Forcibly purifying it will only harm the boy's life. Moreover, this chaotic origin is even purer than the remnant soul of the Lord of Chaos, seemingly the core power that escaped from the deepest part of the seal."

Xuan Chen closed his eyes and concentrated, opening his Buddhist Heavenly Eye. Golden light pierced through the miasma and the barrier of chaos, revealing the condition within the boy's body:
"There is a gray Chaos Pearl in his dantian, which is the condensation of the origin of chaos. This Chaos Pearl is constantly absorbing the toxins in the miasma and the negative emotions in the world, and its power is growing rapidly."

"If left unchecked, within three months, the Chaos Origin will completely take control of his body. At that time, even a peak Great Emperor will find it difficult to subdue him."

Ye Chengyu's heart stirred, and the spacetime power of the Flowing Light Sword resonated strongly with the Chaos Pearl within the boy's body:
"The fluctuations of this Chaos Pearl are of the same origin as the power I sensed at the Chaos Seal. Perhaps we can use the power of spacetime to peel the Chaos Pearl from his body, instead of purifying it directly."

"How easy is it to remove the Chaos Pearl?"

Qingxuan frowned: "The Chaos Pearl is already closely connected to his soul. If he is not careful, the boy will be destroyed. Moreover, the boy's will seems to have been influenced by the Chaos Origin and is actively cooperating with the Chaos Pearl to absorb energy."

The boy's figure reappeared, the chaotic energy around him now solidified into a tangible armor, and his gray eyes flashed with a crazed light:
"It's all in vain! The origin of chaos is irreversible, and you will all become nourishment for my growth today!"

He raised his hand and waved.
The miasma and chaotic energy merged, transforming into countless poisonous dragons that lunged towards the group. (End of Chapter)
