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

Chapter 261 Tongtian Establishes the Jie Sect, Yuanshi's Wrath!
With the Celestial Court activating the "Ten Thousand Immortals Array," and the Demon Race activating the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Array" and the "Hun Yuan He Luo Array," the intensity of the war between the demons and immortals rapidly escalated.

The primordial chaos and malevolent energy within the primordial world were becoming increasingly profound.

In this situation, only a very few places on the primordial continent can remain undisturbed.

For example, Mount Tianyuan where Taichu, Qinglian, and Tianyan are located; Mount Dongkunlun where Taiqing, Yuanshi, and Tongtian are located; Mount Buzhou, the ancestral home of the Wu tribe; and Mount Sumeru where Jieyin and Zhunti are located...

Also, there's Wanbaoge near Tianyuan Mountain!

Since the beginning of time, when the three thousand laws and the power of the primordial earth were activated, the world where Tianyuan Mountain and Wanbaoge were located were transformed into an absolutely peaceful area.

The number of primordial creatures coming here is also increasing.

On the one hand, they do need to use Wanbaoge to trade for some things they need.

On the other hand, they hoped to indirectly obtain the protection of the Primordial Chaos behind the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, so as to avoid their own demise in this great calamity.
"This calamity is getting more and more terrifying!"

"The methods of Dao Ancestor Hongjun are truly terrifying. He actually started the Investiture of the Gods before the Lich War even began!"

"Alas, the current war between demons and immortals is essentially just a continuation of the great calamity of the Lich King."

"Once the Chan Sect has recruited enough disciples, and these disciples have gradually grown up, the true Investiture of the Gods calamity will probably begin!"

"I wonder when this Lich Tribulation and the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation will finally come to an end?"

The countless primordial beings before the Wanbao Pavilion, sensing the terrifying signs of the war between demons and immortals, were all filled with worry and anxiety.

Regardless of the reason, from the moment they arrived at Wanbaoge, their names were probably already on the list of gods.

The only chance for survival now is to stay in Wanbaoge forever, or until the end of the Investiture of the Gods calamity.

However, Wanbaoge couldn't keep them there forever.

The great tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods is far from over!
This made countless beings in front of Wanbao Pavilion feel that their future was bleak!
"The Great Dao is above, and I, Shangqing Tongtian, hereby establish a sect named: Jie!"

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. Our Jie Sect teaches without discrimination, and we are willing to seize that sliver of life for all living beings in the primordial world!"

"All living beings in the primordial world who are destined to join my Jie Sect are welcome to do so!"

Just then, a voice that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"boom!"

The next moment, the Great Dao Will, which had gradually faded from the primordial world, gave a faint response, acknowledging Tongtian's establishment of the sect.

At the same time, a tremendous amount of merit and fortune also fell down like a deluge!
Tongtian's establishment of this sect immediately caused a huge stir throughout the entire prehistoric world!
"Shangqing Tongtian, one of the Three Pure Ones, actually established the Jie Sect?"

"Education should be provided to all without discrimination, offering a glimmer of hope for all beings?"

"What a magnificent spirit!"

Countless creatures in the primordial world were astonished at this moment.

Logically speaking, after Taiqing established the Human Religion, Yuanshi established the Chan Religion, and Jieyin and Zhunti both established the Western Religion, Tongtian should have established this Jie Religion long ago.

But he didn't!
After all, Tongtian had already removed the Primordial Purple Qi, the supreme treasure for achieving sainthood, from his body with the help of the Azure Lotus in the Primordial Beginning. He also abandoned the Dao of "Slaying the Three Corpses" and instead cultivated the "Nine Revolutions of Primordial Chaos".

Even if he establishes a religion, he could not possibly become a saint by relying on the vast merit and primordial purple energy like Taiqing!
Now, at the height of this great war between demons and immortals, when the primordial calamity is reaching its peak, Tongtian suddenly established the Jie Sect.

Even though the establishment of the Jie Sect could reflect Tongtian's own path and enhance his overall strength, the people of the prehistoric world still felt that his move must have a deeper meaning!
as predicted!

"Anyone with a karmic connection to the Jie Sect can join it?"

"Doesn't this mean that most of us have the opportunity to join the Jie Sect?"

"Most importantly, with the protection of the Jie Sect, do we no longer need to worry about being caught in the vortex of the Great Calamity?"

"Even if we still can't escape the great calamity, at least with the protection of Tongtian, our chances of survival will definitely increase significantly!"

"That's right, I'm going to join the Jie Sect right now!"

"..."

Gradually, more and more primordial creatures realized what was happening.

This newly established Jie Sect may become a safe haven for countless people who have no intention of participating in the Great Calamity!

Therefore, countless rogue cultivators in the primordial world set off for Biyou Palace, where Tongtian was located, with great excitement.

Even some beings who were forced to participate in the war between demons and immortals under the threat of the Investiture of the Gods, and who have not yet become too deeply involved in this war and have been tainted by too much karma, have gradually withdrawn from the war between demons and immortals after careful consideration and are heading towards Biyou Palace.

Not only that!

Wanbaoge!
"Those who are destined to join the Jie Sect... So, can those who are listed on the Investiture of the Gods join the Jie Sect?"

"Wouldn't it be so much better if we could join than if we were forced to hide in the Wanbao Pavilion?"

As if they had just thought of something, the traders in front of Wanbaoge all had a sudden realization and felt a glimmer of hope.

However, since this is only their speculation at the moment, and as soon as they leave Wanbaoge, they may face targeting from Yuanshi's side.

Therefore, no one dares to leave Wanbaoge for the time being!
But it's obvious that as long as Tongtian doesn't explicitly refuse these people from the list from joining, they will definitely risk going to Biyou Palace as time goes by!

"hiss!"

"Could it be that Tongtian actually wants to protect those rogue cultivators of the prehistoric world who are unwilling to participate in the Great Tribulation, especially those who are on the Investiture of the Gods list?"

"This is truly great compassion!"

"But in doing so, wouldn't Tongtian be openly standing against Yuanshi and Taiqing?"

"Could it be that the Three Pure Ones, these two brothers, are now completely at odds?"

Many ancient deities couldn't help but look horrified.

I just feel that the situation in this primordial world is becoming more and more incomprehensible!
Of course, for many people who were already unhappy with Taiqing and Yuanshi, this was a good thing that they were happy to see!

The west!

Mount Sumeru!
"Tongtian actually established the Jie Sect at this time and wants to recruit many disciples?"

"It even seems to imply that those on the list can also join the religion?"

Upon hearing Tongtian's announcement, Jieyin and Zhunti were also horrified.

They already knew that Tongtian had severed ties with Taiqing and Yuanshi, and had even severed the good and evil corpses within his body.

They just didn't expect that Tongtian would choose to stand up openly and oppose Yuanshi and Taiqing at such a critical moment!
"Humph!"

"Under the overwhelming force of Heaven's will, what if Tongtian established the Jie Sect?"

"They'll just perish along with those who made it onto the list!"

"You must understand, Tongtian is not an immortal saint!"

After regaining his senses, Jieyin and Zhunti did not dwell too much on Tongtian's establishment of the Jie Sect.

On the contrary, I think the latter is too stupid!

Tongtian's fate will definitely not be good once the retribution is carried out by Yuanshi, Taiqing, and even Hongjun Daozu!

"But this will definitely enrage Yuanshi and Taiqing!" "I wonder what they will do about it?"

Then, Jieyin and Zhunti looked towards the direction of East Kunlun, their faces showing a look of anticipation, as if watching a good show.

After all, the relationship between them, fellow disciples, and Taiqing and Yuanshi was not particularly good, strictly speaking.

Without compromising their own interests, they were still quite willing to see things too clearly, even if it meant Yuanshi suffered some minor losses.

Kunlun!

Yuxu Palace!
"Tongtian, that traitor! He actually established the Jie Sect at this time!"

"What exactly does he want to do?"

At this moment, Yuan Shi was furious.

He was ordered by Hongjun Daozu to take over the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip, forcing all living beings in the prehistoric world to stay away from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and to join the Celestial Court to fight against the demon race and all those on the list.

But now, with the establishment of the Jie Sect, which is open to all and accepts all beings in the primordial world as long as they are destined to join, doesn't that provide a safe haven for those who have made it onto the list?
After all, isn't the so-called "destiny" just a matter of whoever is destined to be with you?

More importantly, under this great calamity, there will inevitably be more and more rogue cultivators in the prehistoric world, especially those who have made it onto the list, who will be willing to join the Jie Sect.

In this way, the Jie Sect grew into a terrifying force with "ten thousand immortals paying homage" in the shortest possible time!
Moreover, this force is clearly opposed to the Chan Sect of the Primordial Beginning!

Under such circumstances, how could Yuanshi not be enraged?
"Tongtian!"

"Today, you must give me an explanation!"

In his rage, Yuanshi disregarded everything else and, with the might of a sage, ignored the barriers of time and space to arrive above Biyou Palace. Above his head was the "Pangu Banner," a supreme treasure of creation, emanating chaotic sword energy that seemed capable of cleaving the heavens and destroying the earth, and with the might of a sage, it suppressed the universe.

The terrifying primordial power was earth-shattering, causing countless primordial creatures to be filled with immense fear!
"Tongtian, you've passed!"

Just then, the Way of Non-Action suppressed all the heavens, and the creation treasure "Taiji Diagram" transformed into a golden bridge, imprisoning time and space, reversing yin and yang. Another saintly pressure shook the heavens and earth, and Taiqing's figure slowly appeared beside Yuanshi, his eyes revealing coldness!

To be honest, considering that they all belonged to the Three Pure Ones, even though the three brothers had severed ties, Taiqing himself did not oppose Tongtian establishing the Jie Sect.

But if Tongtian hadn't been established earlier or later, but had to be established at this particular time, the outcome would have been very different!

"Ah!"

"The establishment of the Jie Sect is a reflection of my own path!"

"It is also a great act of merit to seize a glimmer of hope for the countless beings in the primordial world who are struggling in the great calamity!"

"You can establish the Human and Chan sects, but you won't allow me to establish the Jie sect, and you're preventing me from saving countless rogue cultivators in the primordial world. What kind of logic is that?"

In response, Tongtian appeared in the sky above Biyou Palace.

Even though he is currently only at the late stage of the sixth level of the "Nine Revolutions of Primordial Chaos," his own strength is not enough to contend with the Heavenly Dao Saint.

But at this moment, the four swords of Zhuxian surrounded him, and the surging ferocity stirred up all directions. There was no fear of Yuanshi and Taiqing in his eyes!

"presumptuous!"

"Tongtian, you are a silver-tongued liar, defying the will of Heaven!"

"Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your teacher!"

Yuanshi, already furious, reached the peak of his anger upon seeing Tongtian's statement.

He actually activated the Pangu Banner, manifesting terrifying chaotic sword energy, and slashed towards Tongtian!

"boom!"

Under the eruption of the Primordial Chaos, the terrifying pressure of the Sage suppressed heaven and earth.

The chaotic sword energy, seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and destroying the earth, slashed towards Tongtian's head!
Yuanshi would not actually kill Tongtian, but he had to teach the latter a lesson.

Ideally, the latter should be made to abandon the Jie Sect himself, only then can his hatred be vented!
"Break the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!"

Seeing this, Tongtian dared not be careless. He activated the "Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation" with all his might and added the newly established fortune of the Jie Sect, unleashing it without reservation.

"boom!"

In the ensuing battle between Yuanshi and Tongtian, the world lost its color, and countless mountains and rivers were annihilated.

Even beings at the Quasi-Saint level could only keep their distance with fear on their faces, not daring to approach within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles of Kunlun!

"As expected of a Heavenly Dao Saint, truly powerful!"

Soon, Tongtian was covered in blood, and the "Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation" collapsed with a crash.

Unfortunately, Tongtian doesn't yet possess the strength of the Primordial Chaos level, so the "Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation" can only unleash its true power, which is unbreakable by anyone other than the Four Saints.

Being able to suffer only severe injuries from a wrathful attack by a Heavenly Dao Saint like Yuanshi is something Tongtian could be proud of.

Let alone retaliating!
Even so, Tongtian's gaze toward Yuanshi was still filled with determination and unyielding spirit!
"Humph!"

"After modifying the 'Nine Revolutions of Primordial Chaos,' combined with the 'Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation,' and the newly established fortune of the Jie Sect, you were able to unleash such power?"

"It's a pity that without becoming a saint, one remains but an ant!"

"You might not be able to withstand my next attack!"

Seeing that Tongtian had finally managed to block his chaotic sword energy, a cold glint flashed in Yuanshi's eyes.

He then prepared to activate the Pangu Banner once more.

This time, he will definitely suppress Tongtian to stop the latter from causing him trouble!

Beside him, Taiqing watched Yuanshi attack Tongtian without making any attempt to intervene.

"Ah!"

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian established the Jie Sect for the sake of all living beings in the primordial world, which is a great act of compassion and merit!"

"How could the Primordial Sage deal with him in such a way? This is truly perplexing to me."

"If the Primordial Sage insists on taking action against Fellow Daoist Tongtian and the Jie Sect, then this humble Daoist cannot stand idly by!"

Suddenly, the space-time tunnel opened, and the figure of Tai Chu stepped out, meeting Yuan Shi's gaze fearlessly.

"Tongtian is the son of my elder brother Pangu, and my nephew. I will not allow you to bully him!"

"If you dare to make another move, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The Azure Lotus, which appeared alongside Tai Chu, looked at Yuan Shi and Tai Qing with unparalleled domineering power.

Tianyan, who also arrived at the same time, stood silently behind Taichu, his meaning self-evident.

"Tongtian greets Fellow Daoist Taichu and Fellow Daoist Tianyan!"

"Greetings, Aunt!"

Upon seeing this, Tongtian immediately bowed to Taichu, Tianyan, and Qinglian, without any surprise in his expression.

Clearly, he had long been prepared for Yuanshi's anger, Taiqing's tacit approval, and the arrival of Taichu and the others after he established the Jie Sect!

Or perhaps, this was something that Tongtian and Taichu had already agreed upon!
