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

Taiyi's departure formally demonstrated the attitude of the demon race. Dijun bowed to Nuwa and then took his leave.

Nuwa and Fuxi personally escorted him out of the Nuwa Palace. Afterwards, the brother and sister sat cross-legged on a futon in the main hall to discuss the current situation of the prehistoric world and the future of the demon and human races.

"younger sister--"

"Although the core concept of the demon race was proposed by the two emperors, the four of us are the founders of the demon race and have devoted countless efforts to it."

"Now that my demon race's Heavenly Court can truly dominate the primordial world, the human race you created has awakened the will of humanity, while you, sister, have attained the status of a Heavenly Saint. I worry that you may have become a pawn of that person?"

After Fuxi finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand and pointed to the chaotic sky.

He was overjoyed and genuinely proud of his sister's attainment of sainthood, but given the current state of the primordial world, if his sister were to become a pawn of the Heavenly Dao, her fate might not be good.

Although the Heavenly Saints are supreme, the fate of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who was twice reversed and killed, is a testament to this.

Fuxi certainly didn't want his sister to get hurt in any way!
“Brother!——”

“From the moment we went to Zixiao Palace to listen to the teachings, I had already become the teacher’s chosen one. Otherwise, how could I have managed to snag the purple prayer mat in the front row among the three thousand Zixiao guests?”

"As for my fate, you have no need to worry about it at all. After I attain sainthood, my true spirit will reside in the Heavenly Dao, and I will control the power of the primordial world. My Great Dao will be eternal and indestructible."

"Unless the primordial world is completely destroyed, no one can truly kill me!"

Nuwa was deeply moved by her brother's unreserved concern and specially told him about her authority as a Heavenly Saint and her immortality.

"Now that the Primordial World has many uncertainties due to Fellow Daoist Taichu, it is very likely to evolve into a 'Great Tribulation of the Three Powers of Heaven, Earth and Man' in the future. Although I have the ability to protect myself, I may not be able to protect you, brother, at the critical moment."

"Therefore, I urge you, elder brother, to devote yourself to seclusion and improve your strength, and strive to prove your Dao through the Laws as soon as possible to become a Primordial Great Luo. This way, you can not only get rid of your status as a pawn, but also become my true support in the future!"

Nuwa knew her brother loved her dearly, so she used that love to encourage him.

As long as his elder brother successfully attains the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos, even if the Primordial World is shattered or even destroyed in the future, at least he can escape into the Chaos World to protect himself, and in the future he will still have the opportunity to truly attain the Supreme Dao!

"Don't worry, little sister!"

"I will definitely catch up with you and strive to attain the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos as soon as possible!"

Encouraged by his sister, Fuxi was filled with fighting spirit, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

…………

heaven.

Heavenly Emperor Palace.

After returning from Nuwa Palace, Di Jun and Tai Yi, the two brothers, began a private conversation in their bedchamber.

"Second brother!——"

"How long until you successfully attain the Great Luo Primordial Dao?"

Di Jun looked at Tai Yi with a solemn expression.

"Brother!——"

"I have now mastered 2,586 Great Dao Laws. If I want to fuse with 3,000 Great Dao Laws and then prove the Dao by force, it will take at least several hundred Yuanhui!"

Although Taiyi can discuss the Dao with countless powerful figures of the demon race and use this 'shortcut' to accelerate his mastery of the three thousand Great Dao Laws, truly proving the Dao through force is not as simple as he thought!
"It seems that if our Heavenly Court wants to deal with the upcoming battle between heaven and earth, we can only rely on the three Primordial Chaos-level formations!"

Di Jun knew very well—

After Nuwa attains sainthood, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti will surely follow in her footsteps, ushering in a true era of saints in the prehistoric world.

Furthermore, with the conflict between the Primordial Daoist and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, it is highly likely that the future will evolve into a 'Great Tribulation of the Three Powers of Heaven, Earth, and Man'!
The only way for the demon race's Heavenly Court to protect itself in this catastrophe is to rely on the three Primordial Chaos Formations.

As for Nuwa? —

She has become a Heavenly Saint, and will inevitably be drawn into this great calamity. How can she have any spare strength to protect her demon race?

"Brother!——"

"When will you be able to sever your 'self-corpse' and then merge the three corpses to attain the Great Luo Primordial Dao?"

Taiyi was also aware of the terrifying calamity to come. If his elder brother Dijun could attain the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos before the calamity erupted, then his Heavenly Court would have a chance to protect itself during the calamity.

"So difficult! So difficult! So difficult!"

"Although I have already broken through to the peak of Quasi-Saint, I have no clue how to sever my 'self-corpse', let alone achieve the Great Luo Primordial Dao through the fusion of the three corpses!"

Di Jun uttered the word "difficult" three times in a row, which shows how powerless he felt about severing his "self-corpse".

As the chosen emperor born from the sun, he gained the approval of the will of heaven and earth after establishing the Heavenly Court, and was rewarded with immense merit and fortune.

Furthermore, by constructing the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array' to refine the chaotic earth, water, fire, and wind into innate spiritual energy, they can benefit all living beings in the primordial world and receive a continuous stream of merit rewards.

Even with immense fortune and countless merits, Di Jun had no hope of emulating Nuwa's 'becoming a saint through merit'!

The most crucial one is—

He did not obtain the supreme treasure—Primordial Purple Qi!
If he could obtain a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi, with the merit and fortune that Di Jun possessed, he would not need to sever his 'self-corpse' at all, and could directly attain sainthood through merit!

"Brother, Hongyun still has a trace of Primordial Purple Qi on him!"

Taiyi's gaze fell upon the Fire Cloud Palace, and two greedy beams of light shot out from it.

If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!
Faced with the impending catastrophe, since Hongyun is not qualified to prove his Dao and become a saint, why not 'send' him to his elder brother?
"We'll discuss this later!"

Di Jun gently shook his head.

He had considered seizing this Primordial Purple Qi, but Hongyun was not an unknown weakling. He not only had a close friend, Zhen Yuanzi, but was also a friend recognized by Taichu!

If I were to openly rob by force, even if I were qualified to break Zhen Yuanzi's 'Innate Earth Formation', I would have no right to refuse if Tai Chu intervened!

Therefore——

Di Jun can only take action against Hong Yun after he has ascertained Tai Chu's attitude.

"Om!—"

As the two brothers remained silent, a special aura reached them, and their eyes lit up instantly. They immediately got up and went to the outside of Chongtian Gate together.

Demon Master Kunpeng also sensed this aura, so he put down the matter of creating demonic script and directly used his supernatural powers to arrive in front of the Lingxiao Palace.

“Swish!——”

A figure of primordial yellow and dark yellow descended upon Chongtian Gate. The entire world remained completely undisturbed, as if he had stood there since time immemorial.

Upon seeing this, the three of them simultaneously narrowed their eyes, their hearts filled with shock.

"Welcome, Fellow Daoist Taichu, to my Heavenly Court!"

"Welcome, Fellow Daoist Taichu, to my Heavenly Court!"

Although Tai Chu did not exhibit any extraordinary phenomena of the Great Dao or any spatial fluctuations upon his arrival, his strength was clearly many times greater than the last time!
Even though all three of them were at the peak of Quasi-Saint (Primordial Chaos), they found that they could not see through the slightest bit of Tai Chu's aura!

"Greetings, fellow Daoists!"

After exchanging greetings and pleasantries...

Emperor Jun extended an invitation to Tai Chu to enter the Lingxiao Palace.

Many of the celestial soldiers and generals on patrol, upon witnessing this scene, were deeply shaken.

"What exactly is this being?"

"It's unbelievable that His Majesty, the Eastern Emperor, and the Demon Master personally came to greet us, and that His Majesty and the Eastern Emperor were so warm and sincere."

Some of the Taiyi Heavenly Generals who had recently joined the Heavenly Court could no longer contain their shock upon seeing them step into the Lingxiao Palace and asked the veteran generals beside them for advice.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"This is none other than the mighty Primordial Elder!"

The old general directly transmitted his words to solemnly instruct them, fearing that it might attract the attention of the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor.

"What?!--"

"He...he is Senior Taichu?!"

Many of the Taiyi Heavenly Generals suddenly realized what was happening, and their faces showed excitement and pride.

They had heard of the great name of the Beginning, but had never seen it with their own eyes. Now that they could see it in person, they would have the right to boast about it to their friends and descendants in the future.

After entering the Lingxiao Palace—

Countless beautiful fairies danced gracefully, while palace maids of various styles offered precious spiritual fruits and fine wines.

In a short while, the entire jade table was filled with various pure and refreshing fragrances.

"Fellow Daoist Taichu, please!—"

The four sat down, and Kunpeng poured Taichu a cup of spiritual wine.

"It's been countless years since we last met. Fellow Daoist, your demeanor is even more radiant than before. Please, have a drink with me!"

"good!--"

In the beginning, there was a smile.

After leaving the Pangu Hall on Buzhou Mountain, he thought of the plan he had made with Qinglian, so he came to the Heavenly Court in person.

Besides expressing support for the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, it also expresses the hope that they can shoulder the responsibility of ruling the prehistoric world and bringing blessings to all living beings.

"Fellow Daoist, what brings you here today? May I ask what brings you here?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Di Jun smiled and inquired. He knew that Tai Chu wouldn't visit unless there was a reason, and that he always brought good news when he came.

For example, the previous 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen' was improved by Di Jun under the guidance of Tai Chu, using the two imperial stars of the Primordial Yin and Tai Yang to govern billions of stars and pass through the Primordial Boundary Wall Chaos.

Only then did he achieve the transformation of the chaotic gale into innate spiritual energy, earning him the reward of the will of the primordial world and the reverence of all living beings.

"Now that Fellow Daoist Nuwa has awakened her human will and attained the status of a Heavenly Dao Saint, I wonder how Fellow Daoist Dijun and Fellow Daoist Taiyi view the future of the prehistoric world?"

After eating a top-quality mulberry, Tai Chu looked at Di Jun and Tai Yi with a serious expression.

"The future of the prehistoric world is extremely dangerous. Even if our Heavenly Court is the rightful ruler of the prehistoric world, it will be difficult for us to remain unscathed during the great calamity. We are very likely to be implicated and reduced to ashes."

Di Jun did not hide his pessimistic attitude from Tai Chu, because with their friendship spanning countless eons, coupled with Tai Chu's admirable character and magnanimity, he would never go out of his way to ridicule him.

"good!--"

"Fellow Daoist's insight is enough to demonstrate your extraordinary vision!"

Tai Chu nodded slightly and continued speaking.

"I have come here not only to represent the goodwill of the Earthly Dao and the Witch Clan, but also to hope that the Heavenly Court can shoulder its responsibilities and bring blessings to the primordial world and all living beings."

"oh?--"

"Fellow Daoist, do you come representing the Earthly Dao and the Witch Clan?"

Di Jun looked slightly surprised; he hadn't expected that Tai Chu would have such power.

But when he thought about his relationship with Qinglian, the younger sister of the god Pangu, he felt instantly relieved.

"good!--"

"Now that the underground passage has emerged ahead of schedule, the Wu Clan will enter in large numbers to help Fellow Daoist Houtu improve the Underworld. Therefore, they will no longer compete with the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan for the power and fortune of humanity in the primordial world."

"As long as you don't deliberately target Buzhou Mountain in the future, the Underground Path and the Witch Clan will not regard the Demon Clan as an enemy!"

As the two strongest forces in the prehistoric world, the Wu and Yao clans will naturally have their ruling authority vacated by the Heavenly Court after the Wu clan's large-scale entry into the Underworld.

"That's really good news!"

"This humble Taoist offers a toast to my fellow Taoist!"

After hearing Tai Chu's words, Di Jun's face was filled with joy.

Although they had a considerable grudge against the Wu Clan, the Wu Clan was simply too powerful, possessing not only the 'Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation' but also the Earth Goddess Houtu.

Add to that the Azure Lotus that controls Pangu's will, and even if the demon race now has a saintly goddess, Nuwa, they are simply not qualified to contend with the witch race!
Now that the Wu Clan has voluntarily withdrawn from the struggle for the right to rule the prehistoric world, the Heavenly Court will no longer have any worries about ruling the prehistoric world!

"good!--"

After clinking glasses, Taichu drank the spirit wine in his cup in one gulp.

"Fellow Daoist—"

"With no more competition for power and fortune from the Wu Clan, you should be able to attain the Great Luo Primordial Dao soon, right, with the merits and fortune you have accumulated?"

"It's not that easy!"

"This humble Taoist does not possess the ultimate treasure for attaining enlightenment—the Primordial Purple Qi!"

Di Jun gave a wry smile and expressed his yearning for the Primordial Purple Qi.

Taiyi, who was standing to the side, took the opportunity to ask Hongyun a question in order to test whether Taichu would intervene.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun's Primordial Purple Qi?"

"He is now in the same situation as Fellow Daoist Tongtian. The Primordial Purple Qi in his sea of ​​consciousness has been severed by the will of Pangu controlled by the Azure Lotus. Fellow Daoist, if you want to use this to plan to become a Heavenly Dao Saint, then there is no hope for you!"

Di Jun and Tai Yi stared at the Primordial Purple Qi of the Red Cloud. Tai Chu was not surprised at all, so he directly told them this 'good news'.

"What?!--"

"Hongyun's Primordial Purple Qi was severed by Qinglian?"

Di Jun couldn't help but reveal a hint of disappointment.

"Fellow Daoist—"

"As the Heavenly Emperor who rules the primordial world, and the demon race is currently the strongest protagonist of destiny in the primordial world, you should logically attain the status of a Human Saint, so why would you think of attaining the status of a Heavenly Saint?"

Now that the will of humanity has awakened, with Di Jun's identity and fortune, he has a real chance to become a saint of humanity and then become the spokesperson for humanity.

"Daoyou Taichu——"

"I follow the method of 'Severing the Three Corpses' passed down by the Dao Ancestor. Even if I attain sainthood, I can only become a Heavenly Saint. How could I possibly attain the status of a Human Saint?"

Di Jun gave a bitter smile, his regret evident in his eyes.

If the Eastern King hadn't broken through to Quasi-Saint ahead of time, how could Di Jun have possibly switched to cultivating "Slaying the Three Corpses"?
If he were to follow the path of 'proofing the Dao through the laws' like Fuxi or Kunpeng, he would certainly be free from the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao rules and could attain the status of a human saint by relying on his own merits and fortune!
"I see!--"

Tai Chu nodded gently and gestured lightly with his sleeve.

He held an exquisite jade bottle of chaos in his palm. When he uncorked it, wisps of pure chaotic essence and the fragrance of the Great Dao wafted out, instantly causing everyone present to widen their eyes.

"This...this is the legendary First Divine Water of Chaos?!"

"good!--"

"The reason why Fellow Daoists Tongtian and Hongyun were able to embark on the path of cultivation again after their Primordial Purple Qi was severed, and even change their own inherited cultivation techniques, is because of this Chaos Essence Spring!"

As Tai Chu spoke, his gaze went straight to Di Jun.

"Fellow Daoist is now trapped by the 'Severing the Three Corpses' technique and is no longer qualified to choose the path of enlightenment. This Chaos Essence Spring of mine can help you!"

"call!--"

Take a deep breath.

Di Jun's eyes flashed with two beams of crimson-gold divine light as he met Tai Chu's gaze and spoke solemnly.

"I am deeply grateful for your help, fellow Daoist."

"However, I wonder what price I must pay to obtain this Chaos Essence Spring?"

All the gifts had a price tag attached in secret.

Di Jun knew perfectly well that the other party would never give it to him for free.

Moreover, given the current state of the primordial world, it is highly likely that Tai Chu deliberately threw out this 'Chaos Essence Spring' in order to win him over to fight against the Heavenly Dao!
"After you attain the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos or the status of a Saint, you only need to agree to the karmic debts owed to me for the three Saints!"

"good!--"

Di Jun looked at Tai Chu and nodded solemnly.

Since he is confident that I can attain the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos, why shouldn't I dare to accept the karmic consequences of the sage?
"good!--"

Tai Chu smiled gently and handed the Chaos Essence Spring in his hand to Di Jun.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!——"

As a result, Di Jun expressed his sincere gratitude to the Chaos Essence Spring.

Although he was using this to set up a plan, and he himself was even one of the pieces in the plan, the help he received from the other party was real and exactly what he desperately needed!

If he successfully attains the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos, he will not only be able to truly control the fate of the Heavenly Court, but also have the hope of becoming the representative of humanity and sitting on equal footing with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

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

"I hope you can make a decision soon, otherwise things may change!"

After Tai Chu finished speaking, he looked up at the chaotic sky.

"good!--"

"I would appreciate it if you could help me oversee the Heavenly Court for a while!"

Emperor Jun was an extremely decisive emperor. After deciding to abolish the two corpses of good and evil, he prepared to take immediate action.

He left Taichu and Taiyi to oversee the Heavenly Court, so that if Dao Ancestor Hongjun took the opportunity to punish them, they could still negotiate.

"Fellow Daoist!—"

"I have been in seclusion recently to create a new writing system, which will then be used for transmission and education. I wonder if you could offer some guidance?"

Kunpeng looked at Taichu with burning eyes.

He has worked for millions of years to create the Demon Script, but there is still a long way to go before it is truly perfected, so he hopes to receive guidance from the Primordial Beginning.

After all, in Kunpeng's mind, the Primordial Beginning was almost omniscient and omnipotent.

He rose from humble beginnings to become a major thorn in the side of Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Not only did he orchestrate Nuwa's path to enlightenment, but he also orchestrated Tongtian and Dijun's self-destruction of the "Severing of the Three Corpses."

"good!--"

"This humble Taoist priest would like to see the 'writing system' created by you, fellow Taoist!"

"If you, fellow Daoist, achieve perfect merit, this will not only perfect the primordial heritage, but will also be a great opportunity for all living beings!"

Tai Chu nodded in agreement.

The emergence of writing would allow the orderly transmission of all living beings and open up endless possibilities for the primordial world. He naturally hoped that Kunpeng could create a complete writing system! (End of Chapter)
