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

Chapter 176 Heavenly Dao: Dare to Steal the Primordial Purple Qi?
West Kunlun.

Dragon Moon City.

Since the establishment of the Celestial Court, the Queen Mother of the West has strictly adhered to the original 'agreement'—

She only serves as a tool to provide the title of 'the head of all female immortals,' and never interferes in the distribution of power or the placement of forces within the Celestial Court.

Therefore, except for important occasions—

The Queen Mother of the West always stayed in her own temple and rarely went to the Celestial Court.

After returning from listening to the Dao in Chaos, Dongwanggong realized that he had gained nothing from his trip to Zixiao Palace, and that his teacher Hongjun had even designated the demon Nuwa as a Heavenly Saint.

He instantly realized that he had fallen out of favor!

If things don't change—

In the future, let alone ruling the world, even winning the 'Great Dao Contest' against Di Jun will be difficult!
"Queen Mother—"

"You and I were formed from the first wisp of Yin and Yang in the primordial world, and our great Daos naturally complement each other. Now that the teacher has finished his lecture, the situation in the primordial world has changed drastically."

"If we allow the demon race to continue expanding, the Celestial Court we built together could very well be destroyed!"

Therefore—

"I solemnly request that you, my fellow Daoist, grant me the Queen Mother's assistance. If I succeed in annihilating Di Jun and Tai Yi, I am willing to share forty percent of the Celestial Court's fortune with you!"

The Eastern King Duke looked at the dignified, elegant, aloof, and noble Western Queen Mother and solemnly bowed to her.

"Emperor——"

"We agreed that when the Celestial Court was established, I would only offer the title of 'Head of All Female Immortals' and would not interfere in any management or authority of the Celestial Court."

"Now you're asking me to help you destroy the demon race? Isn't that asking me to actively intervene in this great calamity?"

Despite the earnest request from the Eastern King Duke, the Western Queen Mother remained unmoved.

From the moment the Witch Clan attacked the Sun Palace, a new calamity had already been quietly brewing. How could she possibly participate in the conflict between the Celestial Court and the Demon Clan? Wouldn't that be like asking to die too soon?
To know--

Besides Emperor Jun and Taiyi, the two emperors destined by heaven, the demon race also has Nuwa, the sage destined by heaven!
Even if Dongwanggong was granted the mandate of heaven and received the support of Dao Ancestor Hongjun to establish the Celestial Court.

But now his destiny has clearly reached its end. Not only is Dao Ancestor Hongjun unwilling to grant him even a nominal discipleship, but if he cannot win the 'Great Dao Contest' against Di Jun, then his fate is destined to be only one—

“Swish!——”

Upon hearing the Queen Mother of the West's stern refusal, the King Duke of the East instantly stood up straight, his eyes flashing with an incomparably crazed light.

"Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, the Celestial Court was jointly established in our names. If it is destroyed by the demon race, I will certainly not escape death, but do you think your fate will be any better?"

"Moreover, my Celestial Court is not without resources. As long as we can successfully set up the Primordial Chaos Formation 'Ten Thousand Immortals Formation,' what can Di Jun and Tai Yi use to fight against me?"

The Eastern King is now at his wit's end, and he is absolutely unwilling to become a loser in the struggle for the Dao.

With the full assistance of the Queen Mother of the West, there is a chance to set up the "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation" that can fight against saints. At that time, wouldn't it be easy to destroy the demon race?
He knew very well in his heart—

Throughout countless eons, the Western King has been adept at maneuvering, maintaining excellent relationships with a host of top-tier innate deities, and commanding numerous powerful female immortals and various forces.

If she is willing to do her best to help, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation can be set up sooner!

"That's enough!"

Seeing that the Eastern King Duke's face was almost crazed, the Western Queen Mother relaxed her attitude slightly.

“Since Your Majesty possesses such a trump card as the ‘Ten Thousand Immortals Formation,’ then I, this humble Daoist, will bestow upon Your Majesty twelve ‘Yellow Plums.’”

"If Your Majesty's great cause is accomplished in the future, I will relinquish my identity as the Queen Mother of the Celestial Court, and Your Majesty will enjoy all the fortune of the Celestial Court alone!"

A single Huangzhong plum can nurture a Great Luo Palm Daoist. To avoid implicating herself, the Queen Mother of the West sent twelve plums to the King Father of the East as a way of repaying him for the Celestial Court's fortune he had enjoyed over the years.

To know--

It takes a full nine cycles of time for a Huangzhong plum tree to produce nine Huangzhong plums!

“Swish!——”

Looking at the twelve golden plums before him, the Eastern King Duke looked at the Western Queen Mother with a serious expression, his face shifting between light and shadow, before finally deciding to accept the plums.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West. This humble Daoist takes his leave!"

Before leaving, he made a concerted effort to maintain the demeanor of the celestial ruler.

But after leaving West Kunlun.

He clenched his right fist and swung it fiercely into the void. A terrifying sonic boom instantly swept across the sky and attracted the attention of countless Taiyi masters and Daluo experts below.

"Humph--"

"Queen Mother of the West, you just wait for me!"

The Eastern King turned his head and glared fiercely in the direction of West Kunlun, exuding an overwhelming aura of malevolence.

"Once I, the Emperor, have destroyed the Sun Palace and annihilated the Immortal Court, ruling the Primordial World, even if you kneel before me begging for my favor, I won't bother to even glance at you!"

At this moment——

The Queen Mother of the West looked in the direction the King Father of the East had left, her eyes filled with helplessness.

She knew very well that the Eastern King was an arrogant and narrow-minded person.

My refusal today—

If he gains power one day in the future, he will not only not be grateful for my help, but will also take revenge on me in order to quell the pride he felt when I was rejected.

As the first wisp of the supreme Yin energy in the primordial world, her Dao and the Dao of the Eastern King Duke complement each other in Yin and Yang, making them natural allies.

However, Dongwanggong was ambitious but lacked talent, narrow-minded, and obsequious. Even without Dijun and Taiyi, his two "enemies in the struggle for the Dao," he would not have been able to fulfill his mission of ruling the prehistoric world.

Whether it's the Three Pure Ones, the Wu Clan descended from Pangu, or even the Tai Chu who 'proved the Dao through force', which one doesn't have a stronger foundation than him?

sun star.

The Demon Emperor's Palace.

Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Fu Xi sat facing each other.

They had just returned from Tianyuan Mountain. Nuwa, no longer concerned with the affairs of the demon race, went directly back to her own Daoist temple to enter seclusion and digest the teachings of her teacher Hongjun and what she had gained from this Daoist discussion.

"Big brother-"

"When should we prepare to break into the Celestial Court and annihilate the Eastern King Duke?"

Taiyi took a sip of the exquisite nectar, then set down the jade cup with an air of authority, before looking at Dijun, who sat regally in the main seat. This can be seen from the perspective of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's third sermon and acceptance of disciples—

The Eastern King was not taken seriously by the Sage Hongjun, otherwise he would not have refused to grant him even the status of a nominal disciple.

That being the case——

Then let's send troops directly to attack the Celestial Court, annihilate the Eastern King Duke in one fell swoop, and thus win this 'Great Dao Contest'!
"Second brother—"

"Although the Eastern King Duke is not valued by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he is still favored by Heaven. I just calculated with Xi Huang, and he has nine more Yuanhui left in his destiny!"

Di Jun took a sip of the spiritual wine and smiled with delight.

"We can use this time to digest what we've learned from the Dao Ancestor's teachings, then test the Wu Clan's attitude. Once the Eastern King Duke loses the favor of Heaven, we can then crush the Celestial Court in one fell swoop!"

Over these hundreds of thousands of years—

The Celestial Court has been secretly sowing discord between its demon race and the witch race, and Emperor Jun has long tolerated this.

Fortunately, the main base of the demon race is on the Sun Star, which is an infinitely distant place from the ancestral home of the witch race, Mount Buzhou.

Furthermore, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were focused on seclusion and seeking a breakthrough, completely ignoring the forces outside their ancestral land. Therefore, the Eastern King Duke's attempts to incite hatred had no effect.

…………

Tianyuan Mountain.

After Di Jun and the others left, Kunpeng, Minghe, Zhen Yuanzi, and Hongyun did not leave for the time being.

Zhen Yuanzi took out several ginseng fruits and personally placed them on the jade table.

"Daoyou Taichu——"

"You were right about what the Sage Hongjun was saying during his sermon. He bestowed upon me the final wisp of 'Primordial Purple Qi.' What should I do with this death warrant?"

Hongyun waved his right hand.

A wisp of primordial purple energy, radiating the supreme aura of the Heavenly Dao, flew out from his sleeve and hovered directly in front of Tai Chu.

"Um?--"

Saw this scene.

Styx's expression suddenly changed.

How did this coveted treasure for achieving sainthood become Hongyun's "death warrant"?

"call out--"

The primordial purple energy that had just been unleashed automatically headed towards Hongyun's sea of ​​consciousness, causing him to retreat repeatedly. In the end, he had no choice but to use his supernatural powers to store it back into the magic treasure in his sleeve.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, it seems this Primordial Purple Qi has already chosen you!"

Tai Chu's gaze sharpened slightly; he hadn't noticed the anomaly in the Primordial Purple Qi earlier.

However, since the Primordial Purple Qi actively moved towards Hongyun, it was clear that this supreme treasure for achieving sainthood had already identified Hongyun, and even if he wanted to shake it off, he might not be able to.

"Fellow Daoist Taichu, please help me!"

Ever since he obtained this 'Primordial Purple Qi', he has been absolutely certain of what Tai Chu said at Wuzhuang Temple.

Therefore, Hongyun was eager to get rid of this hot potato and did not want this Primordial Purple Qi to become his 'death warrant'!
"otherwise--"

"I'd like to offer this Primordial Purple Qi to you, fellow Daoist, and ask for your help in suppressing and resolving this issue?"

Hongyun thought of Taichu's terrifying abilities and decided to hand him over to deal with.

"Old friend—"

"If this Primordial Purple Qi is truly a death warrant, then aren't you pushing Fellow Daoist Taichu into a fire pit?"

Zhen Yuanzi nodded towards the red cloud.

How could such terrifying cause and effect be casually transferred to the beginning of time?
This is such a betrayal of his kindness!

"Fellow Daoist Taichu, I was too hasty just now, so I spoke without thinking. Please forgive me!"

Upon hearing his old friend's reminder, Hongyun immediately bowed and apologized.

"It's alright!"

Tai Chu waved his hand dismissively.

"Since you trust me so much, then let me see the Primordial Purple Qi!"

"good!--"

Hongyun once again summoned the Primordial Purple Qi from her sleeve.

"Om!—"

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Tai Chu directly used his supernatural powers to suppress it.

He planned to study the Primordial Purple Qi carefully to see if he could find any weaknesses in the Heavenly Dao.

"boom--"

In an instant.

A supreme and unparalleled will of Heaven manifested.

In a short moment, the Primordial Purple Qi broke through the suppression of the Primordial Beginning and transformed into a stream of purple light, which directly entered Hongyun's sea of ​​consciousness.

"It's over!——"

Hongyun collapsed to the ground, her face full of worry.

If it was merely out of trust in Taichu before, now it directly confirms his words.

This primordial purple energy is not some opportunity to become a saint, but a 'death warrant'!
"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry—"

"Now that we've taken precautions, if we encounter any threats in the future, we can simply give up this Primordial Purple Qi!"

After Tai Chu finished speaking, he cast a mark and handed it to Hong Yun.
