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

Nuwa entrusted the choice of whether or not to let the future spiritual stone monkey be born to Taichu, which was a sign of her trust in the latter.

Tai Chu would naturally not disappoint her.

"As the saying goes, Heaven cherishes life. In addition, given the request from the two Western Saints, in my personal opinion, Fellow Daoist Nuwa might be able to agree."

"However, this is only my personal opinion. The final decision is up to you, fellow Daoist."

After a moment's thought, Taichu shared his ideas with Nuwa.

Although the Spiritual Stone Monkey is destined to face the tribulation of the Journey to the West in the future, if even the Journey to the West itself is difficult to continue, why should we worry about any tribulation-faced beings?

Moreover, the Taichus might one day turn around and use the Spiritual Stone Monkey to scheme against the West.

If the karma of the two Western Saints, one a Saint and the other a Saint, is used well, it can give Taichu and the others more confidence when they deal with the Heavenly Dao in the future.

In addition, there was a personal reason behind Tai Chu's actions: when he read Journey to the West in his previous life, he really liked the Monkey King.

Now that he has come to the prehistoric world, wouldn't it be a great pity if he didn't even give Sun Wukong a chance to be born?

"The Primordial One actually spoke for us?" Jieyin Zhunti was somewhat surprised.

They thought that Taichu would directly cut off the Lingming Stone Monkey's hope of coming into this world.

If that were the case, although it wouldn't mean the Journey to the West would be completely destroyed, it would undoubtedly make it even more difficult for the two Western Saints to achieve the great prosperity of the West!

"Is it because of the karmic debt we brothers made to the saints?"

Jieyin and Zhunti quickly came to a certain guess as to why the Primordial Society spoke up for them.

"Alright!" Whether it was because she truly trusted Taichu or Nuwa had similar thoughts, she nodded without hesitation after hearing the former's suggestion and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Taichu has said so, then I will give the two Western Saints face."

"I only hope that the two saints will not forget the promise you made to me regarding the cause and effect of the sainthood!"

"Of course!" In truth, Jieyin Zhunti wanted to back out.

However, this was done in full view of everyone, and from the moment they uttered the concept of sage karma, it was already in the dark connecting with their own sagehood and future karma.

It's very difficult for them to truly back down now!
"go with!"

Seeing that Jieyin and Zhunti had further acknowledged the truth of the sage's cause and effect, Nuwa wasted no more time and pointed out with a raised hand.

The last remaining five-colored stone transformed into a beam of five-colored light and flew out, eventually landing on Flower Fruit Mountain, which would one day be known as the ancestral vein of the ten states and the source of the three islands!

"Fellow Daoist Taichu, although I have refined the Five-Colored Stones to mend the heavens, without the support of Mount Buzhou, I'm afraid the heavens won't last long before another disaster strikes!" After resolving the issue of the last Five-Colored Stone, Nuwa asked Taichu with some concern, "Do you have any solutions, fellow Daoist?"

"So it's finally here?" Upon hearing this, Tai Chu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As a time traveler, he naturally knew that in the original timeline, after Mount Buzhou collapsed, Nuwa cut off the limbs of the Black Tortoise of the North Sea to serve as a giant pillar supporting the sky.

Logically speaking, Taichu only needed to tell Nuwa this method directly.

However, Tai Chu once had a friendship with the Black Tortoise of the North Sea, and was even guided by it to the Great Luo Path, receiving treasures from the latter.

If he were to tell Nuwa about the North Sea Black Tortoise, wouldn't that put her in a dangerous situation?
But Mount Buzhou collapsed, the sky and earth were overturned, and even though Nuwa had already refined stones to mend the sky.

But if there is no new support for heaven and earth, it will probably not be long before holes reappear in the sky.

Nuwa's efforts would be in vain.

Moreover, with the cause and effect of the original trajectory, even if Tai Chu doesn't say anything, she will be able to calculate the cause and effect after a while.

as predicted!

"So that's how it is." At this moment, Nuwa seemed to have a premonition of something, and said to Taichu with a rather complicated expression, "I never thought that the thing that replaced Buzhou Mountain in supporting the heavens and the earth was actually the limbs of the North Sea Black Tortoise?"

"And does this Xuan Turtle have a past relationship with Fellow Daoist Taichu?"

“But this concerns the future of the primordial world and the life and death of countless primordial beings, so we have no choice.” Nuwa’s expression gradually became solemn: “Since you, fellow Daoist, cannot bear it, then leave this villain entirely to me.”

"After I cut off the Xuan Turtle's four limbs to support the heavens and earth, I will apologize to the Xuan Turtle and Fellow Daoist Tai Chu."

"With your abilities, even if I were to sever the Xuan Turtle's limbs, you should be able to save its life, right?"

After saying this, Nuwa was about to head straight to the North Sea!

"Fellow Daoist, wait!" Tai Chu, seemingly lost in thought, pleaded with Nuwa, "No matter what, Xuan Gui has been kind to me and Tian Yan. I cannot just stand by and watch him perish!"

"If you trust me, please lend me the Qiankun Cauldron first!"

"If my next idea comes to fruition, even if I lose the limbs of the North Sea Black Tortoise, I will be able to come up with something new to support the heavens and the earth."

"If I fail, it's not too late for you to search for the Xuan Turtle then."

"If anything goes wrong, I will bear all the consequences!"

“Fellow Daoist, there’s no need for that!” Nuwa quickly replied, “I have already received much help from you so far.”

"If you want the Qiankun Cauldron, what harm would it do for me to give it to you?"

"Fellow Daoist, in order to help your former friend Xuan Gui, you are willing to bear the karma of mending the sky. This is also a benevolent act."

"Do whatever you want. If anything goes wrong, I'm willing to share the burden with you!"

Before she finished speaking, Nuwa had already handed the Qiankun Cauldron to Taichu.

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist!"

Tai Chu was overjoyed and accepted the Qiankun Cauldron, expressing his gratitude.

"Refining!"

Seeing that the sky, which Nuwa had temporarily repaired, seemed to be on the verge of collapse again, Tai Chu dared not delay. He quickly threw all the precious materials he had collected, such as Hongmeng Gengjin, Hun Dun Tongmu, Xue Yin, and Xiantian Hanyu, as well as various less important treasures he had collected, into the Qiankun Cauldron and began refining them.

"The Black Tortoise once did me a great favor, so I should do something in return!"

Tianyan also took out various materials and treasures and threw them into the Qiankun Cauldron.

"Although I have no significant connection with the North Sea Black Tortoise, since Tai Chu and Tian Yan are both working hard to help it, I'll lend a hand too!"

Qinglian followed closely behind, throwing all the materials and treasures she had collected into the Qiankun Cauldron.

"hiss!"

"Is that Primordial Metal?"

"And there are also top-tier materials from the primordial world, such as Chaos Copper Mother and Primordial Cold Jade?"

"Not only materials, but Tai Chu and the others also threw in a lot of treasures, most of which were innate treasures!"

"As expected of fellow Daoists Tai Chu, Qing Lian, and Tian Yan, their wealth is truly abundant!"

"..."

The ancient gods who witnessed this scene were all astonished.

If their previous understanding of the three from the Primordial Beginning was that they were powerful and exceptionally talented, then now their impression of them also includes that they are "inhumanly wealthy."

"Rare and precious materials! So many rare and precious materials!" "If these things could be given to the West, it would surely increase the success rate of the West's great prosperity by at least ten percent!"

Jieyin and Zhunti stared wide-eyed at the numerous materials and treasures that Taichu and the others had thrown into the Qiankun Cauldron to refine.

There's no way around it, the West is just too poor.

Let alone Jieyin and Zhunti, even the entire West combined probably couldn't offer as much as the materials and treasures that Taichu and the others have thrown into the Qiankun Cauldron!

Even beings like Taiqing and Yuanshi, who claim to be the true descendants of Pangu, probably have a net worth far less than one percent of that of Taichu and the others.
All I can say is that comparing yourself to others can really drive you crazy!
"If we are able to suppress and kill Tai Chu and the others in the future, wouldn't all the good fortune they possess be ours?"

At this moment, a hint of greed appeared in the eyes of the two Western Saints, as well as Taiqing and Yuanshi.

Several glints of black magic light flashed in their eyes, disappearing in an instant!
"Ah!"

The three of them, Taichu, were naturally aware of the reactions of the two Western Saints, but they merely sneered and didn't care at all.

Even if the Four Sages of Heaven joined forces, they would not be a match for Tai Chu alone.

Did the three of them from the Primordial Beginning worry that the Four Sages of Heaven might have ill intentions?

In contrast, what Tai Chu is more concerned about now is to refine something that can replace the Xuan Turtle's limbs to support the heavens and earth and end this calamity of mending the heavens!
"Fellow Daoist Taichu, Fellow Daoist Tianyan, Fellow Daoist Qinglian, although the materials and treasures we have collected are far inferior to yours, we are still willing to contribute our share to the primordial world!"

"You have helped my demon race many times, how could my demon race forget such kindness?"

"And me, and me!"

"We have little fortune, so we will do our best. Please do not find it offensive, fellow Daoists!"

"..."

At this moment, the gods Fuxi, Nuwa, Dijun, Taiyi and others contributed their materials and treasures, throwing them into the Qiankun Cauldron.

This is both to mend the sky and to repay the three primordial beings for all the help they had received!

We thank you all!

The three of them, Taichu, accepted everyone's help without any pretense and expressed their gratitude.

In the time that followed, the three of them focused entirely on refining the numerous materials and treasures within the Qiankun Cauldron.

Soon after!

"Success!"

With a joyful exclamation from Tai Chu, four radiant, colorful pillars, each engraved with various mysterious inscriptions, appeared before everyone!

"With these four pillars of heaven, they will surely be able to replace the original Buzhou Mountain and take on the responsibility of supporting the sky!" Nuwa was also delighted: "In this way, there will be no need to cut off the limbs of the Xuan Turtle."

"This friend of fellow Daoists Taichu and Tianyan can be saved!"

"It actually worked!" The other deities couldn't help but exclaim, "These four pillars supporting the sky incorporate all sorts of precious materials and treasures. Their strength is probably comparable to innate treasures, isn't it?"

"In my opinion, even if the Xuan Turtle's four limbs were truly severed, its ability to support the sky would certainly not be as effective as these four pillars supporting the heavens!"

"Isn't that obvious? The value of the mere limbs of the Xuan Turtle is not even a fraction of the materials and treasures that Tai Chu and the others used to forge the limbs of the Sky-Supporting Tortoise!"

"I didn't expect that Tai Chu and the others were also proficient in weapon crafting?"

"Otherwise, even if they possessed the Qiankun Cauldron, they might not have been able to forge such a powerful Four Pillars of Heaven so quickly!"

"Is that even a question? Tai Chu has already mastered the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws, how could he not know how to refine weapons?"

"Go!" Tai Chu ignored everyone's reaction. After refining the Four Pillars of Heaven, he activated the vast magical power within his body and sent the four pillars to the four extremes of the heavens to support the world!

The calamity of mending the heavens thus began to come to an end!
North Sea!

"I clearly felt that a terrible calamity was about to befall me, so why did it suddenly disappear?"

"And why do I feel that all of this is inextricably linked to the collapsed Buzhou Mountain and the beginning of time?"

An enormous black tortoise seemed to sense something, its voice filled with horror.

Unfortunately, his size was too large, making it difficult for him to move and preventing him from going to Buzhou Mountain to investigate the truth.

His cultivation level was insufficient to deduce the detailed cause and effect!
"Ugh!"

"I wonder when I will be able to successfully transform into human form?"

After a long while, the black tortoise let out a deep sigh.

Because he missed the best time to transform, his size kept growing larger.

Even if he wanted to transform into human form now, it would be extremely difficult!

The enormous size not only made the Xuan Turtle's movements inconvenient, but also limited his cultivation speed and cultivation limit.

It can be said that the Xuan Turtle is now thinking about transforming into human form day and night.

But as time went on, his hope of taking human form became increasingly faint!

Buzhou Mountain!
"boom!"

After Nuwa mended the sky with stones and Taichu forged the four pillars to support the heavens and earth, a vast amount of Heavenly Merit descended.

The two largest portions were placed before Nuwa and Taichu, respectively.

The remaining small portion was scattered and fell before all the deities who had participated in mending the sky!

"boom!"

Before anyone could react, a massive amount of merit descended upon them.

But this time, what descended was not the merit of Heaven, but the merit of the Great Dao!

Moreover, most of these great merits fell upon Tai Chu, with the remaining small portion distributed among Nuwa and other deities!

Chaos, Purple Cloud Palace!

"The Avenue?"

Hongjun's expression suddenly changed.

He never expected that the Great Dao, which had been absent from the primordial world for countless years and had not appeared for far too long, would suddenly reappear.

Although the Great Dao merely bestowed its merits, the implications it contained are truly intriguing!

After all, it's just mending the sky, so why would the Great Dao need to bestow merit upon us?
"In the beginning!"

Hongjun was not stupid. He immediately realized that the biggest reason why the Great Dao bestowed its merits was because of the existence of the Primordial Beginning!

This is not good news for Hongjun.

Let alone his current state, even if he truly gained complete control over the power of the Heavenly Dao, he would still be no different from an ant before the Great Dao itself! (End of Chapter)
