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

Chapter 329 Yang Mei's Opportunity to Prove Dao, The New Version of the Zhou Tian Star Array
The North Sea Black Tortoise never expected that it would almost have its limbs severed or even perish on the spot without its knowledge.

This made him very grateful that he had met Tai Chu and Tian Yan, and had given them some pointers, thus forming a good relationship!
"It doesn't matter!"

"It was just a small favor for us!"

Tai Chu shook his head and said indifferently.

The reason he and Tianyan helped the North Sea Black Tortoise was not for the latter's gratitude, but simply to put their minds at ease!

"North Sea Black Tortoise, as the saying goes, those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune. After this ordeal, have you had any special feelings?" Tianyan asked the North Sea Black Tortoise directly.

"A special feeling? It doesn't seem so..." The North Sea Black Tortoise was about to shake its head when it suddenly looked surprised: "Huh?"

"It seems I can transform into human form?"

"Could this be my imagination?"

Over the years, the Black Tortoise of the North Sea has dreamed of transforming into human form, but it has never been able to find the opportunity to do so.

Even now, he's starting to give up!

As a result, he has now actually sensed the opportunity to transform into human form?

The surprise came so suddenly that he wondered if he was dreaming or hallucinating.
"My guess was right!" Tianyan was also delighted: "Although you did not rely on your own abilities but with our help to avoid the calamity of having your limbs severed, it is a fact that you survived a tribulation."

"Besides, the reason you can't take human form is most likely because the sky needs you to mend it."

"Now that we have the four pillars that my brother forged, we no longer need your limbs."

"Some of the constraints on you will naturally be lifted!"

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist!" Tai Chu congratulated, "Although your infinitely large size makes it difficult for you to take human form, this has greatly increased your inherent strength."

"Once you successfully transform into human form, your future achievements will be limitless!"

"From this perspective, you've actually turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise," Qinglian remarked from the side.

It's true that there's no karmic connection between her and the Black Tortoise, but if the Black Tortoise can successfully transform and gain enough power, it might become an aid for her in dealing with the Heavenly Dao in the future!
It's impossible that the Black Tortoise would help the Heavenly Dao and stand against the Primordial Ones after all this karma, right?

"Is this real? I can really take human form?" After confirming with Tai Chu and the others that he wasn't dreaming or hallucinating, the North Sea Black Tortoise was overjoyed: "This is wonderful!"

"Please rest assured, fellow Daoists, I, Xuan Gui, will remember this cause and effect and the kindness shown to me, and repay it a hundredfold in the future!"

The North Sea Black Tortoise knew very well that if it weren't for the help of Tai Chu and the others, it wouldn't have been able to transform into human form, and would probably have had its limbs severed or even perished by now!
This kindness is equivalent to giving me a second life!
No, it was during the reconstruction that he was also given a great opportunity!

Under such circumstances, how could the Black Tortoise of the North Sea not feel extremely grateful to Tai Chu and the others?

Tai Chu and the others shook their heads slightly, not paying much attention to it.

In the following time, Tai Chu and the others told the North Sea Black Tortoise about some methods of transformation, as well as the ways of Hunyuan Golden Immortal and Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, before returning to Tianyuan Mountain!

"Fellow Daoists, you've returned?"

As soon as Tai Chu and the others returned to Tianyuan Mountain, a familiar figure came to greet them; it was Yang Mei.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei!" Tai Chu's expression brightened with joy, and he quickly stepped forward to bow and express his gratitude, saying, "During the final battle of the Investiture of the Gods, we were fortunate to have your intervention at the crucial moment, otherwise we might have been defeated by Hongjun!"

"Tianyan greets Fellow Daoist Yangmei!" Tianyan quickly stepped forward and bowed, expressing his gratitude: "It was truly a great blessing for us to have your help before!"

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei!" Qinglian bowed, and asked with some concern, "I remember that you used some secret techniques with significant backlashes to deal with Hongjun, didn't you?"

How are you doing now?

“Fellow Daoists, there’s no need to be so polite. Hongjun is also my enemy. His intervention during the Investiture of the Gods was something we had discussed beforehand.” Yang Mei waved his hand and said, “During my years of seclusion, I have already suppressed all the backlash I suffered from using secret techniques.”

"On the contrary, it gave me new insights!"

"That's excellent!" Tai Chu nodded, then asked with some curiosity, "But I wonder why you waited for us here in advance?"

"Could it be that they want us to go to the Taoist temple of the Time Master?"

Before the final battle of the Investiture of the Gods, Yang Mei found Tai Chu and the others and said that she had discovered the Daoist Shi Chen's Daoist temple before the creation of the world.

The other half of the Great Millstone that Taichu held might be in this very place.

Even without the other half of the World-Destroying Millstone, there are likely other opportunities within the Daoist of Time's dojo!
However, since the final battle of the Investiture of the Gods was approaching, they agreed to first pass through the calamity before heading to the Taoist temple of the Time Master.

Now that the Investiture of the Gods has ended, it is reasonable for Yang Mei to come and find Tai Chu and the others to go to this Daoist temple together.

"Yes, but no!" Yang Mei nodded, then shook his head and said, "After suppressing the backlash caused by the secret technique in my body, I actually vaguely sensed the opportunity to become a Primordial Grand Supreme Golden Immortal."

"As the saying goes, opportunity knocks but once. If I miss this chance to attain enlightenment, it will be difficult to find another one."

"Therefore, I probably won't be able to take you to the Shichen Dojo in the short term."

"I'm sorry, but if you don't mind, could you wait until I attain the Great Primordial Golden Immortal status before starting my journey to the Daoist Temple of Time?"

"Fellow Daoist, you are about to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Primordial Chaos?" Upon hearing this, Tai Chu showed no disappointment whatsoever, but instead exclaimed with great joy, "This is a good thing, a very good thing!"

In order to deal with Hongjun, who is continuously refining the will of the Heavenly Dao and may master the complete power of the Heavenly Dao at any time, the more Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortals on our side, the better!
Tai Chu wasn't too surprised that Yang Mei was able to encounter the opportunity to become a Primordial Grand Supreme Golden Immortal so quickly.

After all, he was originally one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, the Space Demon God, and his peak cultivation level once reached the Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian!

Even if Yang Mei were to reincarnate and start anew, his breakthrough speed would still surpass that of other deities!
More precisely, Yang Mei's breakthrough should not be called a breakthrough, but rather a return to the Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal realm!
Furthermore, Yang Mei followed a single path of proving her Dao through the laws of space, unlike Tai Chu and the others who combined the laws of the three thousand Daos and proved their Dao through force.

Naturally, the difficulty of his cultivation will be far lower than that of Tai Chu and the others!

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist!" Tianyan sincerely said to Yang Mei, "You can visit Daoist Shichen's Daoist temple at any time, but your opportunity to attain Dao is a once-in-a-millennium event!"

"Therefore, fellow Daoist, you need not worry about us. Just focus on attaining enlightenment!"

"Congratulations in advance on your attainment of the Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal realm!" Qinglian offered her congratulations first, then continued, "Actually, even if you hadn't come to us, we didn't plan to go to Daoist Shichen's dojo immediately." "Because we first experienced the final battle of the Investiture of the Gods calamity, then discussed the Dao with many fellow Daoists on Jin'ao Island for hundreds of thousands of years, and gained the Great Dao merit during the Heaven-Mending Tribulation. What we need now is to go into seclusion to consume these gains, not to rashly go to Daoist Shichen's dojo!"

Regardless, the Daoist Shichen's Daoist temple was built before the creation of the world, and even after so many years of ravages, it must be fraught with danger.

If Tai Chu and the others could properly seclude themselves for cultivation and improve their strength, they would have a greater chance of making it to Shi Chen Dao Ren's Daoist temple.

"So that's how it is!" Yang Mei suddenly realized, and said with joy, "I knew it. Even I had the opportunity to attain the Dao. How could beings like you three, with such outstanding backgrounds and talents that are unparalleled in the primordial world, not have good fortune?"

"If that's the case, let's each go into seclusion and improve our strength first, and then head to Master Shichen's dojo together!"

“That’s exactly right!” Tai Chu nodded in agreement.

After chatting with Tai Chu and the others for a while, Yang Mei couldn't wait to go back and try to become a Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal.

Tai Chu and the others also returned to their respective dojos and entered a state of seclusion!
Time flies, hundreds of thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye!
While Tai Chu and the others were still in seclusion, many changes were gradually taking place in the prehistoric world!

Heaven!

"Success!"

Di Jun, Tai Yi, Kunpeng, Bai Ze and other demon gods, as well as Suiren, Youchao, Huangtian and other human gods, all gathered here, their faces beaming with joy!

Over the years, following Tai Chu's original advice and the improved version of the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen" he left behind, Di Jun and his group have planned to create a new version of the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen" that is more suitable for the demon race.

Today, they have finally succeeded!

Moreover, during this process, the demon and human races worked together to improve the "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation" of the demon race into the "Ten Thousand Demons Formation," which is more suitable for the demon race!
Naturally, the human race's "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation" was also improved into a "Ten Thousand People Formation" that was more suitable for them!
However, it seems that the human race felt that the name "Ten Thousand People Formation" was not very good, so they renamed it "Humanity Formation"!
"After the Investiture of the Gods, all beings in the primordial world, whether cultivating the Three Thousand Heavenly Laws, the Three Thousand Great Laws, or following the path of a single Great Law to attain enlightenment, or the path of becoming a sage, all represent a rapid improvement in their cultivation and strength!"

"As a result, the innate spiritual energy in the primordial world will not be enough."

"This is the perfect time for our new version of the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array' to be unveiled!"

The demon gods such as Kunpeng and Bai Ze were all in high spirits.

After all, the improvement of the demon race's strength also requires a more abundant innate spiritual energy.

Moreover, once the human and demon races solve the problem of insufficient innate spiritual energy in the primordial world, the benefits they can obtain will certainly not disappoint them!
"Pass down the order, instructing the demon and human races to immediately begin setting up the new version of the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array' according to plan!"

Emperor Jun, his expression filled with excitement, began to issue orders.

"Yes!"

With Emperor Jun's order issued, the human and demon races began their operation together.

That's right, the human race also participated in setting up the new version of the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array"!
This is also one of the important manifestations that the alliance plan between the human and demon races is getting closer and closer to completion!

"boom!"

As the human and demon races took action, a new version of the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array" was set up, far superior to the old version in every aspect by more than one or two levels!

Following closely behind, countless chaotic spiritual energies and chaotic gales surged into the new version of the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array," and after being converted into innate spiritual energy, they poured into the entire prehistoric Three Realms!
"Innate spiritual energy, such rich innate spiritual energy!"

"The concentration of innate spiritual energy in the entire primordial world increased by 30% in an instant, and it's still increasing?"

"What exactly is going on?"

"Haha, great, that's wonderful!"

"I was worried that the innate spiritual energy in the primordial world was no longer enough for me to continue improving, but I didn't expect that someone would bring me a pillow when I was sleepy?"

"With this innate spiritual energy, I will definitely become stronger!"

"Who exactly performed such a compassionate and meritorious act? All living beings in this primordial world should thank him!"

"..."

After sensing the change in the concentration of innate spiritual energy in the primordial world, countless creatures in the primordial world were first shocked, and then overjoyed as if they were going crazy!

Since Pangu separated heaven and earth, the innate spiritual energy in the primordial world has actually been decreasing.

Especially after the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods!

This is also the most important reason for the emergence of the "Dharma-ending Age" in the original timeline, including the Investiture of the Gods calamity, the descent of sages, the Journey to the West calamity, the Taiyi Golden Immortals like Sun Wukong causing trouble in the mortal realm, and the absence of cultivators after Zhang Sanfeng!

In this world, the demon race, at the suggestion of Tai Chu, used the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen" to accelerate the conversion of chaotic spiritual energy into innate spiritual energy, so that the problem of the lack of innate spiritual energy was not a major issue even after the end of the Investiture of the Gods.

However, as the cultivation and strength of the ancient gods continued to increase, the innate spiritual energy in the ancient world became noticeably insufficient.

At this critical moment, the sudden surge of innate spiritual energy in the primordial world is definitely a great thing for all living beings in the primordial world!
"It's the demon race's 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array'!"

"To be more precise, they should now be called the human and demon races!"

"Strange, the demon race also used the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation' before, but it didn't seem to be as effective?"

"Is there even a question? Their 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation' has definitely become stronger!"

"Wow, incredible, incredible!"

"If the demon race's 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation' really becomes stronger, it doesn't just mean that they have improved their efficiency in converting chaotic spiritual energy into innate spiritual energy; it also means that the enhancement of their overall strength by this formation will become even more terrifying in the future!"

"Furthermore, think about it. This 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array' is so important to the primordial world now. In the future, will the Heavenly Dao still be able to easily eliminate the demon race?"

"I don't care about all that, all I know is that this is a great act of merit for them!"

More and more ancient deities also noticed the actions of the human and demon races, and were filled with surprise and admiration.

No matter what happens in the future, they will always be grateful to both the human and demon races!
