The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 34 concludes, Di Jun harbors suspicions.

After being persuaded by the two sages, Zhen Yuanzi calmed down, glanced coldly at Styx, Taiyi, and Kunpeng, then put away the Book of Earth, bowed to the three sages, and left without saying a word, carrying the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd.

After Zhen Yuanzi left, there was no need for Minghe to stay any longer. After all, he hadn't managed to seize the Primordial Purple Qi and had also provoked a madman. Although he wasn't afraid of Zhen Yuanzi, he was still a troublesome figure. He bowed to the three saints and then disappeared.

After seeing Styx leave, Taiyi couldn't help but snort coldly and returned to the Heavenly Court with Kunpeng.

When Yuanshi Tianzun saw Taiyi return directly, a flash of displeasure crossed his eyes, but he said nothing. He nodded to Nuwa and Tongtian, and then disappeared.

"Senior brother, it's time for me to return to the temple."

Nuwa smiled and spoke to Tongtian in a very friendly tone. With Zhou Chen as a connection, Nuwa and Tongtian's relationship had become much closer. Nuwa was happy to see this, after all, she was the only woman among the Six Sages of the Primordial World, and the Three Pure Ones were brothers, with Zhunti and Jieyin inseparable. As a woman, she was alone and weak.

Although the Three Pure Ones have separated, Lao Tzu has the Taiji Diagram, Yuanshi has the Pangu Banner, and Tongtian has the Zhuxian Sword Formation, none of them are easy to mess with.

With Zhou Chen's connection and Tongtian's good relationship, they could have an ally should anything happen. Moreover, the Three Pure Ones had good reputations, and Tongtian was genuine and straightforward, lacking the scheming of the two Western beings, making them the most suitable ally.

"Junior sister, please do as you wish. After this sermon is over, I will send my unworthy disciple to pay a visit to Nuwa Heaven."

Tongtian accepted Nuwa's kindness and replied with a smile.

Nuwa nodded with a smile on her face, and her figure disappeared.

After Nuwa left, Tongtian's smiling face disappeared, and he looked at Zhou Chen with an annoyed expression, saying:

"How did you manage to trick your Grandmaster Yuanshi into giving you this magical treasure? Didn't he always look down on the disciples of the Jie Sect?"

The tone wasn't very pleasant, but Zhou Chen didn't pay it any mind.

"Teacher, actually, my senior uncle is not targeting the Jie Sect or you. On the contrary, he is worried about you. After all, you do not have anything to suppress the destiny. If the disciples of the Jie Sect are not of good character, they will ruin the sect's destiny."

"It's just that my second senior uncle isn't good with words, which is why you had a little misunderstanding."

Zhou Chen explained to Yuanshi Tianzun that now that Tongtian Jiaozhu has the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler and the Pure World White Lotus to suppress the fortune, as long as he finds an opportunity to deal with those immoral disciples of the Jie Sect, the Jie Sect will be as stable as Mount Tai.

"Hmph, let's go back to Jin'ao Island."

Although he suspected Zhou Chen was telling the truth, he couldn't bring himself to admit it. So he simply snorted, changed the subject, and took Zhou Chen back to Jin'ao Island.

They arrived directly at Biyou Palace, where the Tongtian Sect Leader sat cross-legged on the upper bed and spoke slowly to Zhou Chen.

“Go knock on the fish drum; the sermon is about to begin.”

"Yes."

After responding, he walked towards the fishing drum outside Biyou Palace and, following the usual rules, began to strike it.

After finishing knocking, I casually found a place to sit in Biyou Palace and quietly waited for the arrival of the Jie Sect immortals.

While Zhou Chen was waiting...

Taiyi also brought Kunpeng back to the Lingxiao Palace in Heaven.

Upon entering Taiyi, he somewhat resentfully addressed Dijun, who sat above him:
"Brother, we failed. The Primordial Purple Qi has vanished into the world."

Di Jun sighed, then offered a word of comfort.

"Forget it, even without the Primordial Purple Qi, we might not necessarily lose. Since increasing our strength isn't an option, let's see if we can weaken the Witch Clan's power."

As Di Jun was pondering, he noticed that Taiyi's expression was a little off, as if he had something to say. "What's wrong, Taiyi?"

Di Jun asked directly. Taiyi rarely showed such an expression; something must have happened.

"When Nuwa became a saint, did you remember the human race she created, brother?"

Taiyi did not answer directly, but instead asked a question.

"Humans, that weak, acquired race? Is something wrong with the human race?"

Di Jun frowned, somewhat puzzled. Why was Taiyi asking about this human? Humans are an acquired race, physically weak, with poor aptitude, and to this day, no one has embarked on the path of cultivation. They are insignificant in the prehistoric world.

"Brother, a great supernatural being has appeared among the human race!" Taiyi didn't hide anything and said it directly. Although he had never fought with Zhou Chen, the ability to withstand the aftershocks of Hongyun's self-destruction was only due to a great supernatural being. Even though it was just the aftershocks of the self-destruction, it was still something that an ordinary Great Luo Immortal could not withstand.

"Impossible. Humanity has only existed for a short time, yet a great supernatural being has already emerged. And there hasn't been a single movement from the human race. Are you mistaken?"

Di Jun looked at Taiyi with some suspicion. It wasn't that he didn't believe Taiyi, but the matter was simply too unbelievable. They were born as Great Luo Immortals, and the time it took to cultivate to the level of a Great Divine Power was measured in eons, including lectures at Zixiao Palace. Humanity, however, had only existed for a very short time; how could a Great Divine Power have emerged from there?

Taiyi shook his head and said seriously:

"There's no mistake, the Demon Master is also a witness."

Di Jun turned to look at Kunpeng, who nodded in agreement with Taiyi's words.

Di Jun frowned, seemingly lost in thought. After a moment, he spoke in a deep voice.

"Taiyi, tell me about that human."

"That man is named Zhou Chen. He is a disciple of the Jie Sect, but the Primordial Heavenly Venerable bestowed upon him the Chaos Gourd, and just now, Nuwa also bestowed upon him the Five Elements Spiritual Pearls."

Although they had never fought, he must have reached the level of a great supernatural being. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to block Hongyun's self-destruction unscathed from such a short distance. Even though it was just an aftershock, it was still something that an ordinary quasi-saint could withstand.

"Without the aid of the Zhou Tian Star Array, even with the Chaos Bell, I would probably be seriously injured."

Taiyi recounted everything he had seen and thought, but what to do next was no longer his concern.

Di Jun...

Didn't the Three Pure Ones split up? Didn't Yuanshi look down on the disciples of the Jie Sect and have a fierce conflict with Tongtian?

Why did the Primordial Chaos Gourd appear on the body of a disciple of the Jie Sect?

Was it that Yuanshi Tianzun had a fondness for this disciple of the Jie Sect, or was the separation of the Three Pure Ones a hoax? If it's the former, that's fine, but if it's the latter, then why did the Three Pure Ones do this?

They are three saints, and saints who possess supreme treasures!
……

The more Di Jun thought about it, the more problems arose. He rubbed his temples, looked at Taiyi, opened his mouth, but then gave up. As for Kunpeng, Di Jun was still somewhat wary. Although a wisp of Kunpeng's true spirit was in his hands, it was ultimately not truly submissive.

Di Jun thought for a moment and then said to the two of them:
"Don't provoke Zhou Chen. First, secretly investigate whether all humans are like Zhou Chen, or whether Zhou Chen is an exception."

Let me check it out first, and let me know as soon as you have the results.

Taiyi and Kunpeng nodded and went out.
