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

Prior to this, since they had never seen the disciples of the Chan Sect make a move, and considering that the Chan Sect had the Heavenly Dao Saint Yuanshi Tianzun in charge, and that the disciples of the Chan Sect had all cultivated the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Laws in advance, the disciples of the Jie Sect subconsciously felt that this Chan-Jie war would definitely be very disadvantageous to them.

However, once the great battle began, the disciples of the Jie Sect discovered that this was not the case.

Thanks to the enhancement brought by cultivating the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Laws, the disciples of the Chan Sect are indeed stronger than the disciples of the Jie Sect. However, with the help of various formations, the Jie Sect is now slightly in the lead!

"hiss!"

"Are the disciples of the Jie Sect really this strong, with the support of various formations?"

"Could it be that the Jie Sect alone can withstand all the attacks from the Heavenly Dao?"

"How can this be?"

"..."

Upon sensing the battle situation on Jin'ao Island, countless deities in the primordial world gasped in astonishment, their eyes filled with disbelief.

In their original thought, even if the disciples of the Jie Sect could not be defeated by the disciples of the Chan Sect at the beginning, they should still be in a state of struggling.

The one struggling now is the Chan Sect?

After this battle, the people of the prehistoric world gained a new understanding of the Jie Sect, a sect that currently has no saint-level figure in charge!

"Humph!"

"The Jie Sect is merely displaying the power of its formations!"

"The disciples of the Chan Sect were unfamiliar with the formations of the Jie Sect, which is why they were caught off guard for a moment. Even so, the disciples of the Chan Sect were only slightly at a disadvantage!"

"Once the disciples of the Chan Sect become familiar with the formations of the Jie Sect, they will surely be able to quickly turn the tide and destroy the Jie Sect!"

"..."

Some of the prehistoric deities who were unhappy with the Jie Sect or chose to stand on the side of Heaven snorted coldly.

In fact, what these people said wasn't entirely wrong.

Because they began cultivating the Three Thousand Heavenly Laws ahead of time, the true combat power of the Chan Sect disciples will ultimately surpass that of the Jie Sect.

In addition, the Investiture of the Gods calamity was started ahead of schedule, and the formation power of the Three Immortals, the Ten Heavenly Kings, Luo Xuan and other disciples of the Jie Sect had not yet reached its peak.

The disciples of the Chan Sect are only temporarily at a disadvantage. As time goes by, they may be able to contend with the disciples of the Jie Sect, or even break through the formations of the Three Immortals and Luo Xuan!

The Heavenly Court, the Lingxiao Palace!
"The overall strength of the Jie Sect is greater than we imagined!"

"Even if the 'Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation' and the 'Ten Deadly Formations' can't hold off the Chan Sect for too long, they can at least buy us more time to develop!"

"With the added support of the 'Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation' and the 'Ten Thousand Immortals Formation,' as well as the possibility of Fellow Daoist Tongtian emerging from seclusion at any time, we shouldn't need to intervene in the short term!"

Di Jun Taiyi had a hint of joy on his face.

For the demon race now, the longer they can develop, the better!

Hell!

"Well done, Jie Sect!"

"I thought the Jie Sect would be at a complete disadvantage from the start!"

"It seems that the strength of the Chan Sect is not as strong as we imagined."

"Don't be careless, the Chan Sect is definitely not that simple!"

"..."

The performance of the Jie Sect earned nods of approval and smiles from the people of the underworld, including Styx, Zhen Yuanzi, and Dijiang, who were also enemies of the Heavenly Dao.

Through this great battle between the Chan and Jie sects, they were also able to gain a deeper understanding of the Chan sect.

If we were to face off against the Chan Sect later, it would be a case of knowing ourselves and our enemy!

Kunlun Mountains!
Taiqing Palace!
After Taiqing Yuanshi and Jieyin Zhunti went to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao, Taiqing's three corpse incarnations, Taishang Laojun, and Yuanshi's benevolent corpse incarnation, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, moved in.

This time, they were all paying close attention to the battle between the Chan and Jie factions on Jin'ao Island!

"what?"

"Our Chan Sect disciples were actually at a disadvantage from the very beginning?"

"Damn Tongtian, damn the Jie Sect!"

"..."

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun's expression was rather unpleasant at the moment.

Although he also realized that, as time went on, the disciples of the Chan Sect still had a great chance of breaking the "Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation" and the "Ten Deadly Formations".

However, this initial setback will inevitably cause the people of the prehistoric world to underestimate the Chan Sect to some extent.

How could Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, who wanted to use this opportunity to make the Chan Sect famous throughout the prehistoric world, possibly be happy about this?
"Judging from the current situation, the final victory will inevitably belong to the Chan Sect!"

"Once the disciples of the Western Sect arrive, the Jie Sect will be even more isolated and unable to cope."

"When the Jie Sect is destroyed, all living beings in the prehistoric world will only remember the Chan Sect, which ultimately triumphed, and will not care about the defeated Jie Sect!"

Laozi spoke calmly.

"Hmph, let these disciples of the Jie Sect be arrogant for a while longer!" After hearing Laozi's words, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun was still somewhat displeased, but he only snorted coldly and no longer cared about it.

The West, Mount Sumeru!

"I never imagined that the disciples of the Jie Sect would be so strong?"

"Even though they benefited from the array's enhancement, power is power!"

"Alas, if our Western Religion had such strength, it would be much easier for us to achieve great prosperity in the West!"

"That wretched Taichu! It's already difficult enough that we've made the West so prosperous, and now he's made it even harder for us!"

Sensing the battle situation on Jin'ao Island, Amitabha Buddha and Bodhi Patriarch couldn't help but feel a mix of surprise and envy.

Then, as if they had thought of something, their resentment towards the beginning deepened.

Because the Primordial Ones repaired the ancestral veins of the West, a huge hole appeared in the West leading to Tianyuan Mountain.

No matter how much resources Amitabha Buddha and Bodhi Patriarch earn for the West, most of them must be used to fill this hole, and only the remainder can be used for the great prosperity of the West!

This will undoubtedly make it much more difficult for the West to prosper, and will allow Tianyuan Mountain to reap countless benefits without doing anything!
Unfortunately, Patriarch Bodhi and his companions had no good solution to this problem.

Unless the Heavenly Dao can completely eliminate Tai Chu and his group during this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, then once Tai Chu is gone, the problems he caused will naturally be easier to resolve.

"The disciples of the Chan Sect attacked the Jie Sect before my disciples of the Western Sect could have waited for them; otherwise, this battle might not have happened." After regaining his senses, Patriarch Bodhi suggested, "But we needed to cooperate with the Chan Sect this time anyway."

"Should we urge the pharmacists and the others to speed up their journey so they can reach Jin'ao Island sooner and support the Chan Sect?"

“No need!” Amitabha Buddha pondered for a moment, then gently shook his head and said, “The disciples of the Chan Sect have always been arrogant. Even if we hurry over there, they may not be willing to accept our favor.”

"Taking this opportunity to make the Chan Sect suffer some losses might not necessarily be a bad thing for us."

"In that case, let the Medicine Master and the others continue at their current pace." After hearing Amitabha's words, Patriarch Bodhi thought it made sense and nodded.

Tianyuan Mountain!
Central Hall!

Tai Chu, Tian Yan, and Qing Lian were not in the mood to pay much attention to the battle between the Chan and Jie factions on Jin'ao Island.

Because they suddenly welcomed a special guest!

"Feel sorry!"

"I have come uninvited, please don't mind!"

Seeing the surprise on the faces of Tai Chu and the other two, Yang Mei, the old ancestor who had suddenly arrived at Tianyuan Mountain, bowed with a somewhat apologetic tone.

"Senior, there's no need for that!" Tai Chu quickly realized what was going on and returned the greeting, then asked with a puzzled look, "May I ask what important matter brings you here, Senior?"

"There's no need to call me senior. Although you haven't yet attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, you already possess the combat power of that level. Therefore, you can address me as fellow Daoist." Old Master Yang Mei first addressed the issue of address before answering Tai Chu's earlier question: "I came here primarily to join you in dealing with that shameless scoundrel Hongjun!"

Back when Yang Mei, Hongjun, Yin Yang, and Qiankun were fighting against the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou together, they were murdered by Hongjun.

After that battle, Yin Yang and Qian Kun perished, Yang Mei fled to the Chaos, and only Hong Jun gained the greatest benefit.

From then on, Yang Mei harbored deep resentment towards Hongjun.

After they plotted against Hongjun in the early days, Yang Mei suddenly appeared and killed Hongjun, which was a way of venting his anger for himself and his two deceased friends.

However, Yang Mei also suffered serious injuries in that battle.

As a Dao-mergering being, Hongjun's death once was not a significant loss at all.

Conversely, Yang Mei also realized that Hongjun was refining the Heavenly Dao Will within the Heavenly Punishment Seal and attempting to control the complete power of the Heavenly Dao.

If Hongjun succeeds, it will be almost impossible for Yang Mei to seek revenge against him in the future!
"So that's why you came to us to deal with Hongjun together?" Qinglian asked softly, as if she already understood Yang Mei's purpose.

“That’s right!” Yang Mei nodded and said, “Even now, it’s basically impossible for me to completely eliminate Hongjun with my own power.”

"In that case, I naturally need some allies."

"Those of you who have repeatedly outmaneuvered Hongjun and caused him to suffer losses have become my best partners."

"I was recovering from my injuries until now, when my injuries have healed and my strength has increased, so I rushed over to find you!"

In Yang Mei's view, this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, which has now truly begun, is a good opportunity to deal with Hongjun.

Even if we don't completely destroy Hongjun, as long as we can inflict heavy losses on him this time, it will be much easier for us to deal with Hongjun in the future.

On the contrary, if Hongjun were to use the Investiture of the Gods to sweep away most of the opponents in the prehistoric world, the power of the Heavenly Dao would become purer and stronger.

Therefore, it will undoubtedly be much more troublesome for Yang Mei to deal with Hongjun in the future!

"If that's the case, then we naturally welcome... welcome fellow Daoist to join us!" After understanding Yang Mei's thoughts, Tai Chu welcomed him with a hint of joy in his expression.

Yang Mei, as a former Space Demon God, and who once killed Hongjun, could not possibly be weak.

With his addition, Taichu and the others will be more confident in their next battle against Hongjun.

"Welcome, fellow Daoist!"

"If we join forces, we will surely make Hongjun taste defeat once again!"

Tianyan and Qinglian both understood the benefits of Yang Mei joining and welcomed her happily.

"In fact, I have another matter to discuss with you this time." Yang Mei was also very happy to see that Tai Chu and the others agreed to form an alliance, and quickly changed his tone to say, "I have been traveling in the Chaos for many years. In addition to the continuous increase of my strength in the process, I have also discovered many opportunities and hidden places in the Chaos."

"For example... the time of day for the ritual!"

"The Daoist Temple of Time?" Upon hearing this, Tai Chu's expression immediately changed.

The world-destroying millstone in his hand was indeed powerful, but he only had half of it.

The other half, barring any unforeseen circumstances, should be in the hands of the Time Daoist.

Over the years, Taichu has spent a lot of time and energy searching for the whereabouts of Shichen Daoren, but to no avail.

But now, Yang Mei, who intends to form an alliance, has brought news about the Taoist temple of the Time Daoist?
For Taichu, this was an unexpected delight!

"Could the Daoist Shichen's Daoist temple be located there?"

Tianyan and Qinglian looked at Taichu, their expressions also showing surprise and delight, clearly knowing what this meant!
It should be noted that even half of the World-Destroying Millstone was enough to allow the Twelve Ancestral Witches' "Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation" to summon Pangu's true form, which, combined with the will of Pangu from the Azure Lotus, fought to a standstill against Hongjun.

If they could obtain the complete World-Destroying Millstone, Tai Chu and the others might not be unable to completely suppress or even completely destroy Hongjun!

“Fellow Daoist Taichu, you have half of the World-Destroying Millstone in your possession, while the other half has been hidden somewhere by that guy Shichen!” Yang Mei clearly knew the key to this matter, but he did not give a definite answer. Instead, he said, “But the Daoist temple I found should have been left behind by Shichen before the creation of the world.”

"That place is protected by a powerful force of time."

"If I were in my prime before the creation of the world, I would naturally have no fear, but now, it would be difficult for me to enter."

"Therefore, I would like to invite you to explore that dojo with me."

"I've never been inside, so I don't know if there really is another half of the world-destroying mill inside."

"But that was once the training ground of a top-tier Chaos Demon God. Even if it didn't have the other half of the World-Destroying Millstone, it must have had many opportunities!"

"What do you think?"

"The Time Demon God's dojo before the creation of the world?" Qinglian's expression changed upon hearing this: "Wouldn't it be extremely dangerous for us to go there?"

If the time were in a temple after the creation of the world, she would not have any fear.

However, in the time before the creation of the world, he was one of the most powerful chaotic demon gods under Pangu!

Such a place must have been fraught with danger in its past.

Qinglian and the others have not yet truly attained the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal. Even if they have the combat power of the Primordial level, it is hard to guarantee that something will not happen if they go there rashly.
"Don't worry!" Yang Mei knew Qinglian's concerns and immediately said, "Countless epochs have passed since Pangu created the world, and the danger of that Daoist temple has been decreasing!"

"I've already scouted the area. With our current strength, as long as we join forces, we'll definitely be able to enter and leave safely!" (End of Chapter)
