Primordial: From a grain of soil to the ancestor of all paths

Chapter 167 Heaven's Target, What Do I Have to Fear?
Under the vast and boundless starry sky—

Sunlight and moonlight, stars shining brightly.

In the beginning, that peerless and majestic figure stood at the center of the universe.

The vast and dazzling moon and sun seemed to lose their color, becoming mere embellishments beside him.

"Fellow Daoist Taichu, until we meet again!"

"Fellow Daoist Taichu, until we meet again!"

After the Twelve Ancestral Witches regained their true forms, they began to organize their people to retreat. They solemnly bowed to Taichu and then led their people back to Buzhou Mountain.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Taichu!——"

Di Jun strode to Tai Chu and bowed deeply in gratitude.

This battle—

On the surface, the demon race has temporarily gained the upper hand due to its home advantage.

However, the Twelve Ancestral Witches still have powerful trump cards that they have not yet used. If it weren't for Tai Chu's palm strike that intimidated the Witch Clan and then mediated the great war, their own demon race would probably have met a tragic end!
"Thank you, fellow Daoist Taichu!——"

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Taichu!——"

Taiyi, Nuwa, and Fuxi came before Taichu and solemnly bowed to him in gratitude.

The three looked at Tai Chu with different expressions.

Nuwa's beautiful phoenix eyes shone brightly, filled with awe and curiosity.

Fuxi's face was filled with admiration and gratitude.

As for Taiyi, the chosen emperor who walks an invincible and domineering path, he was filled with awe and longing.

Through this battle—

Among the four kings of the demon race, no one understands the strength of the Ancestral Witch better than him.

If he didn't possess the innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, he might have been able to defeat Dijiang, the patriarch of the Wu tribe, but he would definitely not have been able to contend with the two great ancestral witches, Dijiang and Houtu, let alone suppress them!

But what about the beginning?

His current strength is only 'Great Luo'.

Yet, with a single palm strike, he was able to intimidate eight powerful beings of the Hunyuan (quasi-saint) level from the Lich and Demon races!
What incredible, heaven-defying power!

For Taiyi, who insists on forging ahead with an unyielding and domineering spirit, this is truly awe-inspiring and something to aspire to.

"Fellow Daoist—"

"Now that I have broken through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, I wonder if I can still follow the path of 'proving the Dao through strength,' which is the most powerful in terms of combat strength?"

Taiyi was also a top-tier innate deity with a steadfast Dao heart.

After witnessing the true power of the Primordial Beginning, he felt that only by taking the path of 'proving the Dao with force' could he truly prove the Great Dao through 'dominance'!
"Of course!"

After hearing Taiyi's words, Taichu nodded slightly.

"Fellow Daoist, you persisted in your own inherited cultivation method and comprehended the Great Dao of your inheritance to break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. If you then comprehend other Great Dao laws and integrate them with the Great Dao of your inheritance, you can certainly take the path of 'proving the Dao through force'!"

"Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist! —"

Taiyi solemnly bowed to Taichu.

'Domineering' is the 'way to invincibility'.

If one cannot become the strongest among those in the same realm, what right does one have to walk this 'path'?
"You are too polite, fellow Daoist!——"

With a gentle wave of his sleeve, Tai Chu lifted him up with a soft energy.

“In fact, Fellow Daoist is already walking the ‘domineering’ path of ‘proving the Dao with force’, because you have mastered several Great Daos such as the ‘Great Dao of Time’ and the ‘Great Dao of Space’, and have even integrated them into your own inherited Great Dao.”

The reason why Taiyi Future is called the 'strongest person below the sage' is not only because of his innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, but also because he has mastered countless laws of the Great Dao.

The most powerful of these is the 'Great Dao of Time' and 'Great Dao of Space' contained within the Chaos Bell!
otherwise--

He also wouldn't be able to fight the five Ancestral Witches single-handedly in the future Lich War!
"Om-"

suddenly--

Tai Chu keenly sensed that strands of 'causal threads' were gathering between heaven and earth.

These 'causal lines' form a huge 'causal network' that gradually encompasses one's past, present, and future existence.

“Swish!——”

Tianyan's figure appeared in front of him instantly.

"Brother?——"

obviously--

She also sensed that this 'web of cause and effect' seemed to be deliberately targeted by the primordial world.

"Heaven has made its move!"

Tai Chu gently grasped her soft hand, without the slightest fear.

at the same time--

As Di Jun and Nuwa broke through to the Quasi-Saint level by practicing "Slaying the Three Corpses," their spirits trembled slightly. They clearly sensed that the world was becoming more harmonious and the laws of Heaven were becoming clearer.

"Fellow Daoist Taichu, is this... is the Heavenly Dao deliberately targeting you?"

Fuxi also noticed these subtle changes, and combined them with what he had just said about 'the Heavenly Dao making its move,' and deduced a glimpse of the truth based on the inherited 'deduction of the Great Dao.'

"It should be!"

Tai Chu glanced at the sky, then looked back at Tai Yi.

"Fellow Daoist—"

"You must have seen how difficult this path is. Fellow Daoist, you should seriously consider whether to continue on the path of 'proving the Dao through force'!"

This time, the Heavenly Dao's intervention was not only aimed at correcting the major variables affecting itself, but more importantly, at binding the karma of the Lich and Demon races to itself.

With my current abilities, I am simply no match for them.

Furthermore, since the first Lich War was indeed mediated by itself, the Heavenly Dao could more easily manipulate these causes and effects.

The Lich Cataclysm of the Future—

Even if I wanted to avoid it, I couldn't!

"I have made my decision!"

"If you can't be invincible among those in the same realm, what right do you have to walk the 'path of tyranny'?"

Taiyi's pair of crimson-gold divine eyes burst forth with dazzling divine light of the Great Dao, and his boundless fighting spirit pierced through all the realms and heavens!
…………

Back in the main hall, countless powerful and elite demon warriors looked at Tai Chu with utmost respect and gratitude.

To express his gratitude—

He personally brought out twelve top-grade innate spiritual fruits, mulberries, to entertain them.

Taiyi then took out his treasured 'Star Wine' and poured it for Taichu and Tianyan.

"Thank you for your help this time, fellow Daoist. If you ever need our assistance in the future, our demon race will do our utmost!"

For them—

This time, Tai Chu saved not only his own demon race, but the future of everyone!
That's why Di Jun made his promise to the entire demon race after raising the celestial wine cup.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me!"

After gently clinking glasses with them, Tai Chu then drank the 'Starry Night Wine' in his glass in one gulp.

'Star Wine' is brewed using the spiritual liquid of billions of stars and several kinds of innate spiritual fruits from the stars. It has an extremely unique flavor and also contains the pure 'Star Dao Law'.

“Fellow Daoist Taichu, you must have already seen our ambition to establish the demon race. Now we not only have the Celestial Court, which is favored by the Heavenly Dao, but also the true lineage of the Pangu Wu Clan.”

Di Jun put down his immortal wine cup and looked at Tai Chu with a look of seeking guidance.

"If our demon race wishes to unify the primordial world and eliminate the conflicts among all races, what should we do?"

"This question shouldn't be directed at me, but rather at you!"

Tai Chu smiled faintly, without directly answering Di Jun's question.

As the chosen emperor—

It's normal for him to feel confused and hesitant after almost facing annihilation so soon after the establishment of the demon race.

But only he himself can find the true answer by walking this path!

"Ask yourself?"

Di Jun pondered Tai Chu's answer, and then his eyes shone brighter and brighter.

"boom!--"

The power of billions of solar laws surged forth, and he exuded an aura of supreme dominance. The Hetu Luoshu, his symbiotic treasure in his sea of ​​consciousness, became wildly active, and one innate restriction after another was quietly refined.

In an instant——

The inheritance of the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array', a Hunyuan Daluo-level array, actively merged into the sea of ​​consciousness!

“Swish!——”

After digesting the information about the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array', Di Jun's face showed immense joy.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Taichu!——"

Calm your mind.

Di Jun solemnly rose from his seat and bowed to Tai Chu once again to express his gratitude.

"You are too polite, fellow Daoist!——"

Sensing the aura of a Heavenly Emperor emanating from him, Tai Chu smiled and waved his hand, not taking credit for it.

Although Di Jun's transformation of his Dao heart was related to his own reminder, what was more important was his destiny as a chosen emperor and his unwavering will to move forward!
After a few rounds of drinks—

Tai Chu looked at Di Jun and Tai Yi and made a request.

"Two fellow Taoists—"

"I am quite interested in cultivating spiritual roots. I wonder if I could obtain a branch of the Fusang Divine Tree for cultivation?"

"sure!--"

Di Jun agreed without even thinking.

At his enthusiastic invitation.

Tai Chu and Tian Yan arrived at the very core of the Sun Star—Tang Valley!
A magnificent Fusang tree, its entire body fiery red like jade, stood in the center of Tang Valley, rooted in the fiery spring.

The tree is 1,200 feet tall, with twelve enormous, crystal-clear branches that resemble the most perfect fire jade in the world. Emerald green mulberries hang from the treetops, exuding a rich aura of the sun's essence.

As a top-grade innate spiritual root, the Fusang Divine Tree has nurtured a total of thirty-six mulberry fruits.

The Three Yuan Hui blooms, bears fruit, and matures.

During the ripening process, mulberries change over time.

It begins as emerald green, then transforms into fiery red like jade, and finally reaches its golden hue before truly maturing.

“Puff puff puff—”

Sensing the primordial aura, the Fusang Divine Tree actively swayed its branches, as if it were thirsting for the 'essence of primordial energy' condensed from its innate divine power.

“Fellow Daoist, my brother and I were born from this Fusang Divine Tree!”

Di Jun smiled as he introduced the Fusang Divine Tree, and then communicated with it using the origin of the Great Dao.

"call out!--"

Tai Chu offered up a wisp of 'primordial essence' and merged it into the giant Fusang divine tree.

"Wow!——"

The Fusang Divine Tree spontaneously split off a main branch, which directly entered the palm of Tai Chu's right hand.

With a gentle wave of his sleeve, Di Jun sent the endless Sun God Spring into a jade bottle.

He then handed the jade bottle to Tai Chu, because without the Sun God Spring, even if he were the ancestor of all lands, he might not be able to cultivate the Fusang Tree.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!——"

Tai Chu accepted the jade bottle and smiled as he thanked Di Jun.

"You are too polite, fellow Daoist!——"

Di Jun waved his hand, not taking it to heart at all.

Considering the kindness that Tai Chu had shown to his demon race, what was a mere branch of Fusang?
Next-

After exchanging pleasantries once more, Tai Chu took the initiative to say goodbye.

When he and Tianyan returned to the Daoist temple, Tianyuan Mountain, they immediately felt an overwhelming pressure from the Great Dao sweeping across the heavens and earth, causing their eyes to shrink involuntarily.
