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

"So close, so close, our plan to slay the witch sword would have succeeded!"

"Teacher, is the combined power of Pangu's true form and the Primordial Chaos really so great that even you would find it difficult to defeat him?"

"What exactly was that final, primordial method that contained such terrifying destructive power?"

After Jieyin and Zhunti arrived at Zixiao Palace, they kept sighing and looking at Hongjun with confusion.

"That's the Chaos Treasure, the 'World-Destroying Millstone,' which possesses the power to destroy the entire Chaos!"

"Even though the Primordial One is only half-existent at present, its power is absolutely remarkable."

"In the past, the Primordial Chaos used the power of the Great Millstone of Annihilation to break my Dao of Non-Action, but I never expected that he could also have the true form of Pangu activate such a supreme treasure!"

"Otherwise, even if he had such a treasure, it would be impossible for him to be so helpless against his teacher."

Taiqing spoke with a solemn expression.

"A Chaos Treasure? The World-Destroying Millstone?"

"Did the Primordial Era really have such an opportunity?"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin Zhunti was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Why are all the good things from the beginning theirs?

If he could possess the Great Millstone of Destruction, Jieyin and Zhunti believed that his chances of bringing great prosperity to the West would increase significantly!
"Regardless of the circumstances, the failure of the Witch-Slaying Sword Plan is now a fact!"

"But Tai Chu and the others will only be smug for a short while. It's not really over yet. We might still be the ones to win in the end!"

Yuanshi spoke with great reluctance.

Up until now, he had always wanted to suppress Tai Chu and the others to avenge his past self!
But this time, let alone Taichu, he didn't even manage to defeat the Styx.

How could he possibly accept this?

No matter how small the chance may be in the future, Yuanshi must find a way to teach Taichu and Minghe a lesson, and let them know what it means to be the true descendant of Pangu!

"Ugh!"

"Difficult, difficult, difficult!"

"Even after Styx attained sainthood, his strength continued to increase."

"Since the plan to slay the witch sword failed this time, the Human-Demon Alliance plan will continue, and in the future, Di Jun may become a saint of humanity!"

"After this incident, although Nuwa remains a sage of the Heavenly Dao, she will likely stand firmly on the side of the human and demon races!"

"Tian Yan's strength far exceeded our imagination. With the help of Fuxi and Tongtian, she was able to make both the 'Innate Eight Trigrams Formation' and the 'Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation' unleash the power of a Primordial Chaos-level formation!"

"The Wu Clan's 'Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation' is already able to summon the true form of Pangu, which is infinitely close to the Dao Integration Realm."

"The will of Pangu in the Azure Lotus can enable Pangu's true body to reach the true Dao Integration level. If we add the Great Millstone of Annihilation from the Primordial Beginning, then even our current teacher would find it difficult to do anything about it!"

"Under all these circumstances, how easy is it for us to deal with Tai Chu and his group?"

Taiqing sighed and continued to list the advantages that Taichu and Tianyan had.

"How could this be?"

“The Primordial Era, the Azure Lotus, the Witch Clan… were all very weak in the past.”

"When and how did they become so difficult to deal with?"

As Taiqing recounted those details, Jieyin and Zhunti's already sorrowful face became even more filled with grief.

If they weren't Heavenly Saints and hadn't had significant conflicts with Tai Chu and the others, they would have preferred to remain neutral or even surrender to Tai Chu and the others!

"Brother, why do you boost the morale of others while diminishing our own?" After hearing Taiqing's words, Yuanshi's expression became more solemn, but he was still very indignant and said, "That's right, I admit that Taichu and the others are now far stronger than we originally expected."

"But that doesn't mean we have absolutely no way to beat them, right?"

"Or do they want to just watch Tai Chu and the others continue to grow, and then stand above us, swaggering and watching the Earthly Path surpass our Heavenly Path?"

“Yes, Second Brother, you’re right. We really can’t go on like this,” Taiqing nodded, agreeing with Yuanshi’s statement.

If the Earthly Path truly surpasses the Heavenly Path, then all his efforts so far will have been in vain.

If the Heavenly Way fails, it's doubtful whether he can maintain his position as a sage in the future.
"But what should we do?" Jieyin Zhunti asked with great concern.

If they could, they would certainly want to crush Tai Chu and the others under their feet.

However, in terms of mid-to-high-end power, the Five Saints of Heaven are not as good as Styx, Tianyan, Nuwa, and Taichu.

If Di Jun and Tai Yi were to empower the three Primordial Chaos-level formations of the demon race, the Heavenly Dao side would have to face two more Saint-level opponents!

In terms of top-tier power, even Hongjun would find it difficult to deal with the Wu Clan's Pangu True Body + Pangu Will + World-Destroying Millstone!

To be honest, Jieyin and Zhunti really couldn't think of any good way to deal with Taichu and the others!
"..."

Yuanshi and Taiqing remained silent, but looked at Hongjun with hopeful eyes.

Both Jieyin and Zhunti looked at Hongjun, seemingly hoping to hear the method they wanted from the latter!
As it turns out, Hongjun did not disappoint them!
"Ah!"

Why do you have such a self-deprecating attitude?

"Once I have fully refined the Heavenly Dao Will within the Heavenly Punishment Seal and mastered all the power of the Heavenly Dao, what do I have to fear unless those Chaos Demons regain their peak strength or even Pangu is resurrected?"

"By then, what will the Primordial Ones and the others be?"

Hongjun could see that Taiqing, Yuanshi, and Jieyin and Zhunti were all very frustrated after this battle, and they were almost losing their confidence to continue fighting against Taichu and the others.

This was not good, so he gave them a strong boost!

"That's right. As long as Teacher fully controls the power of the Heavenly Dao and possesses power that is infinitely close to the level of the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal, why would he be afraid of Tai Chu and the others?"

"Even if that Primordial True Immortal attains the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he still won't be a match for you, Master, will he?"

"We've only failed in the Slaughtering Witch Sword Plan now, but ultimate victory will still belong to us!" "..."

Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Taiqing, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti were all overjoyed, and their confidence was restored!
“Even so, we can’t do nothing. We must find a way to suppress Tai Chu and the others, lest they continue to be arrogant and underestimate us!” After saying this, Hongjun didn’t wait for Taiqing and the others to respond. His gaze sharpened, and he continued, “I have decided to preach to you from today onwards!”

"To empower you to master the three thousand Heavenly Laws and become even stronger!"

"Controlling the three thousand Heavenly Dao Laws?" Taiqing and the others were all stunned.

Because Tai Chu, Tai Yi, and Ming He all followed the path of mastering the three thousand Great Dao Laws.

Upon further reflection, Taiqing and the others understood.

They are Heavenly Saints, so of course they should control the Three Thousand Heavenly Laws. How could they control the Three Thousand Great Laws?

"As the Great Dao receded, the Primordial World fell under the control of the Heavenly Dao, and the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws within the Primordial World were long ago replaced by the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Laws!" Hongjun slowly said, "Except for a very few people such as Tai Chu, Tian Yan, and Qing Lian, how easy is it for others to comprehend and control the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws?"

"On the contrary, once you begin to comprehend and master the three thousand Heavenly Dao Laws, you will achieve twice the result with half the effort, like a tiger with wings, like a fish in water!"

"Before long, you will be able to become even stronger by comprehending and mastering these three thousand Heavenly Dao Laws!"

"By then, you will have nothing to fear except for forces at the Dao Integration Realm level!"

For Hongjun, what was more important was to enable Taiqing and Yuanshi to comprehend and control the power of the three thousand Heavenly Dao Laws. This would not only make them stronger, but also eliminate any worries about them betraying the Heavenly Dao.

On the contrary, the way of Heaven might become even stronger through this feedback!

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher!"

"This disciple will definitely comprehend the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Laws well, and in the future, I will never allow the Styx River, or even the Primordial Beginning, to continue to be arrogant!"

After listening to Hongjun's words, Yuanshi's gaze hardened, and he was the first to express his opinion.

For him now, as long as he can improve his strength, he doesn't care much about anything else!
"Besides comprehending and mastering the three thousand Heavenly Dao Laws, I also need to quickly and thoroughly grasp the ultimate meaning of the Pangu Banner's destruction, 'Heaven and Earth Grief Together'!" Yuanshi said firmly in his heart.

The reason he couldn't defeat Styx this time was because he only had the initial ability to unleash "Heaven and Earth Grief".

Moreover, having witnessed the ultimate destructive power unleashed by Pangu's true form activating the Great Millstone of Annihilation, he gained a deeper understanding of "the tragedy of heaven and earth."

After all, both of them represent "destruction" in their expression!

"We, your two disciples, will certainly master more of the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Laws as soon as possible, and will never let our teacher down!"

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, and then quickly spoke with firm eyes.

No matter how shameless they were, the fact that the two brothers joined forces to restrain Nuwa, but instead of being able to suppress her, they chose to run away in the end, was a disgraceful act that they found very shameful.

If they could become stronger by comprehending and mastering the Three Thousand Heavenly Laws, they would naturally be very happy to see it.

Moreover, given the current situation, they must become stronger.

Otherwise, if any Saint-level being among Tai Chu and his group could kill them on the spot in the future, then we would be in big trouble!
"What the teacher and my fellow students say is absolutely right!"

Taiqing pondered for a while and agreed that Hongjun was right.

In terms of upper limit, the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Laws are definitely inferior to the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws!
However, in the primordial world, the efficiency of Taiqing and his group in cultivating the three thousand Heavenly Dao Laws would definitely be far greater than that in cultivating the three thousand Great Dao Laws!

Moreover, neither Hongjun nor the Heavenly Dao would allow them to comprehend or control the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws!

"Well, it's good that you understand!" Hongjun nodded with satisfaction after seeing Taiqing and the others' attitude: "However, you can't just stay out of things in the prehistoric world like this."

"Even if your original bodies remain in Zixiao Palace to listen to my teachings, your three avatars can still act in your place in the primordial world!"

"For example, once your disciples in the Chan Sect are powerful enough, they should continue to carry out the Investiture of the Gods."

"Taiqing, you can also use the Human Teachings to influence the human race and hinder the so-called alliance plan between the human and demon races."

“Jieyin and Zhunti, I know that you have always been using the resources of the Eastern world to make up for the poverty of the Western world.”

"As long as you don't target the Renjiao and Chanjiao sects, and don't go too far, I won't blame you!"

"..."

"Yes, teacher!" Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Yuanshi, Taiqing, Jieyin, and Zhunti all had their eyes light up and were filled with ideas.

They were confident that once Hongjun fully controlled the power of the Heavenly Dao, their side of the Heavenly Dao would surely achieve final victory!

But during this process, they really didn't want to do nothing!

Even if they still cannot stop the alliance plan between the human and demon races, or Tai Chu and his other plans, they absolutely cannot allow Tai Chu and his plans to proceed smoothly!

"Teacher, can we also pass on the cultivation methods of the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Laws to the three religions of Humanity, Chan, and the West, or even spread them throughout the world?" Taiqing thought for a moment and asked Hongjun, "In this way, our disciples will surely become stronger."

"While the human and demon races, as well as forces like the Jie Sect, will certainly become stronger as a result, wouldn't the more Heavenly Dao laws they comprehend, the more they will be under the control of Heavenly Dao?"

"This can, in turn, make the Heavenly Dao even stronger!"

"Hmm, that's a good idea!" Hongjun thought for a moment and agreed, "Then let's do it this way!"

"Teacher, the Primordial Purple Qi within Hongyun's body disappeared after Taichu and Qinglian removed it with the help of the Pangu Palace and Pangu's will." After much thought, Yuanshi also came up with a solution: "If we can find this Primordial Purple Qi, wouldn't it make our side even stronger?"

"Furthermore, perhaps we can use this to bewitch Di Jun and Tai Yi. If they can stand on our side, what's wrong with giving them a saintly position?"

“That’s a good idea!” Hongjun nodded. “I will use the Heavenly Punishment Seal and the Creation Jade Disc to deduce the whereabouts of that Primordial Purple Qi, and then do as you suggested!”

If they could use a holy position to put Di Jun and Tai Yi on the side of Heaven, then not only would their power become stronger, but what would they need to worry about regarding the so-called human-demon alliance plan?

On the contrary, Hongjun and his group will be able to implement the so-called human-demon alliance plan and turn it into an asset to their side!
Even if they fail, Hongjun and the others can still make others who are willing to stand on the side of Heaven become Heavenly Saints, thus strengthening their side!
"Teacher, what should Nuwa do?" At this moment, Jieyin Zhunti raised a question: "Originally, she was just hesitating between different positions."

"But this time, she will definitely be on the opposite side of us completely!"

"Otherwise, she wouldn't have skipped coming to Zixiao Palace this time!"

"Isn't there any way to limit her power, or even strip her of her saintly status?" (End of Chapter)
