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

"The Heavenly Court is truly formidable. It has already significantly increased the innate spiritual energy within the primordial world through the new version of the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array'."

"Now they've combined the new version of the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array' with the new versions of the 'Hun Yuan He Luo Grand Array' and the 'Wan Yao Grand Array,' further increasing the efficiency of converting chaotic spiritual energy into innate spiritual energy?"

"Such great merit, great compassion, and great methods, even if they are not as good as Houtu's transformation of reincarnation or Nuwa's patching of the sky, are they not far off?"

"..."

The gods of the primordial world truly did not expect that the Heavenly Court would be able to improve the efficiency of converting chaotic spiritual energy into innate spiritual energy twice in a row.

This is absolutely a good thing for them!
"Humph!"

"This Heavenly Court is truly despicable. Isn't it clearly saying that our Heavenly Dao is inferior to them?"

"Needless to say, this must be Tai Chu's idea again!"

"In the future, we will surely tear these rebels to pieces!"

"..."

On the contrary, whether it was the Four Sages of Heaven, the disciples of the Human, Chan, and Western sects, or even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, they should all have been beneficiaries of the Heavenly Court's actions, yet they all harbored deep hatred for the Heavenly Court.

There's nothing to it but differing perspectives!
The West, Mount Sumeru!

"Ugh!"

"After this, the human and demon races will have an even more secure position in the prehistoric world."

"Any schemes we make against them that affect the efficiency of the Heavenly Court's three great formations in converting chaotic spiritual energy into innate spiritual energy will inevitably result in karmic repercussions for us!"

Both Jieyin and Zhunti were filled with sorrow.

In fact, what they hate is not the Heavenly Court, but the fact that the Western Religion, which did not perform such a feat, was not theirs!
Is this truly a resurgence of Western influence?

"Why do I look more like the rising of the human and demon races?"

"No, we have to think of a way, otherwise the West will really have no chance to prosper!"

"It seems it's time to let Ksitigarbha do that!"

After calming down a bit, Jieyin and Zhunti's eyes showed increasing worry, and they also seemed to be making some calculations.

Heaven!

"Sure enough!"

“Fellow Daoist Taichu is right. After the new version of the ‘Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array’, the new version of the ‘Hun Yuan He Luo Grand Array’, and the ‘Wan Yao Grand Array’ are combined, the efficiency of converting chaotic spiritual energy and chaotic gales into innate spiritual energy has increased several times compared to the past!”

After sensing the changes in the primordial world, both Di Jun and Tai Yi were very happy.

But what made them even happier was yet to come...

"boom!"

As expected, after Di Jun and Tai Yi combined three Primordial Chaos-level formations to further improve the efficiency of converting Chaos Spiritual Energy into Primordial Spiritual Energy, the Heavenly Dao bestowed even more Heavenly Dao Merit, which was distributed among the human and demon races, as well as Tai Chu and the others, according to their contributions.

"boom!"

Before Di Jun and Tai Yi could react, another batch of merits descended.

This time, what has descended is not the merit of Heaven, but the merit of the Great Dao!

"what?"

"It's actually the merit of the Great Dao?"

"How long has it been since the last Great Dao Merit? How come there's Great Dao Merit again?"

"The Heavenly Court's actions this time are a great act of merit, so it seems quite normal that it would bestow great merit upon them, right?"

"..."

Seeing the Great Dao Merit descending towards the Lingxiao Palace, the gods of the Primordial World were shocked, but they also had to admit that they felt some envy, jealousy, and hatred.

After all, under normal circumstances, it is already a very rare opportunity for them to obtain Heavenly Merit.

This great merit is an even greater blessing that they would never dare to dream of in ordinary times!

"The human and demon races actually obtained the Great Dao merits?"

"They are nothing but a bunch of furry, armored creatures, born from wet eggs. What makes them think they can obtain the merits of the Great Dao?"

"The fortunes of the human and demon races are simply too profound, aren't they?"

"If we were to obtain these great merits and virtues, what need would we have to worry about the West not flourishing?"

After seeing the great merit descend upon the Heavenly Court, the Four Sages of Heaven's Dao became even more unsettled in their Dao hearts.

In particular, Yuanshi, who always boasted of being the true descendant of Pangu and looked down on all living beings, was extremely jealous and hateful!

At this moment, neither Yuanshi nor Jieyin Zhunti noticed that a wisp of demonic light flashed in their eyes.

Even Taiqing, who cultivated the Way of Non-Action and whose mind was as still as water, developed cracks in his mind after being hit by a series of blows from reality.

It was precisely these cracks that caused a fleeting glint of demonic light to flash in his eyes!
Chaos, Purple Cloud Palace!

"Another Great Dao Merit?"

"And this time it doesn't seem to be because of the Primordial Beginning?"

Hongjun, who originally did not intend to continue paying attention to Dijun and Taiyi's actions, couldn't help but show surprise in his eyes at this moment.

It should be noted that the last time the Great Dao's merits appeared was when Tai Chu and Nuwa worked together to mend the heavens.

Not much time has passed since then!

Moreover, most of the merits and virtues of the Great Way in the past were brought about by the beginning.

Hongjun subconsciously felt that if any great merits were to descend in the future, it should also be because of Taichu.

This time, however, Tai Chu did not participate much, but the human and demon races still attracted the Great Dao to bestow Great Dao merits.

"Could it be because Taichu gave the idea to Dijun and Taiyi that the Great Dao bestowed its merits upon them?" Hongjun couldn't help but speculate. "If that's the case, isn't the Great Dao paying too much attention to him?"

If his guess is correct, then he might really suspect that Tai Chu might be the so-called "Child of the Great Dao".

"In any case, the more attention the Great Dao pays to the Primordial World, the greater the possibility that He will directly participate in the affairs of the Primordial World."

"At the same time, doesn't the extraordinary attention that the Great Dao pays to the Primordial Beginning also indicate that his potential may be even greater than I originally imagined?"

"No, I must master the power of the Heavenly Dao as quickly as possible and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Hongjun sensed an increasing crisis, and his eyes revealed a murderous intent.

He then continued to immerse himself in refining the Heavenly Dao will within the Heavenly Punishment Seal.

The difference this time was that he looked noticeably more anxious than before!

Heaven!

The Palace of the Heavenly Clouds!

"Great Dao Merit, it's actually Great Dao Merit?"

"I never expected that we would actually be able to obtain the merit of the Great Dao this time?"

"It is truly thanks to Fellow Daoist Taichu's advice that I have been fortunate enough to have such an opportunity."

"Once Taichu and the others emerge from seclusion, we will certainly give him a proper thank you!"

"..." The descent of the Great Dao's merits brought great joy to Di Jun, Tai Yi, Sui Ren Shi, and Huang Tian.

This completely exceeded their original expectations.

This is naturally a great thing for them!
It was precisely for this reason that, while Di Jun, Tai Yi, Sui Ren Shi, and Huang Tian accepted their share of the Great Dao merit, they were even more grateful to Tai Chu for his suggestion to further improve the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array" and to combine the three Hunyuan-level arrays to enhance the efficiency of converting chaotic spiritual energy into innate spiritual energy!
"boom!"

However, just as Di Jun and Tai Yi were immersed in their joy, a terrifying Saint-level pressure suddenly descended.

"Human and demon races, you have defied the will of Heaven, and your crimes are unforgivable!"

"In view of your great meritorious deeds, I will give you a chance to rejoin the side of Heaven!"

"Otherwise, it won't be so easy for you to get through this calamity safely!"

The next moment, the figure of Yuan Shi, with an extremely cold gaze, appeared before Di Jun and Tai Yi as if he had crossed endless time and space!
"Yuanshi Tianzun?"

"How did he end up in Heaven?"

"Could it be that he was very displeased after seeing the human and demon races successively obtain Heavenly Dao Merit and Great Dao Merit, so he plans to directly attack Di Jun and Tai Yi?"

"Damn it! During the final battle of the Investiture of the Gods, several saints or beings at the Hunyuan level, such as Tongtian, Minghe, and Qinglian, defeated the Four Saints of the Heavenly Dao by relying on the power of many formations."

"Over the years, the Four Sages of Heaven have likely become even stronger."

"Even if only the Primordial Celestial Venerable has arrived so far, the combat power he can display will definitely be terrifying!"

"The human and demon races may not be able to contend with each other now!"

"Even if Di Jun and Tai Yi really have a chance to contend with Yuanshi Tianzun, it's hard to guarantee that Taiqing Shengren and the two Western Saints won't step in to help Yuanshi Tianzun, right?"

"Could it be that another terrifying war between saints is about to break out so soon?"

"..."

The gods of the primordial world were shocked to discover that the Primordial Celestial Venerable had appeared in the Heavenly Court.

At the same time, they were also somewhat worried about the situation of the human and demon races.

Regardless, the fact that the human and demon races have greatly improved the efficiency of converting chaotic spiritual energy into innate spiritual energy is a blessing to all the sacred beings of the primordial world!
Unfortunately, the power of the Primordial Celestial Venerable was too great. Among all the primordial gods, except for a very few, the rest did not even have the qualifications to participate!

Kunlun Mountains!
Taiqing Palace!
"Second brother?"

"What does he want to do?"

Taiqing's expression changed. He did not expect that Yuanshi would go to the Heavenly Court at this time, intending to take action against the human and demon races.

Of course, he quickly realized that it was probably because Yuanshi, who claimed to be the true successor of Pangu but had never obtained the merit of the Great Dao on his own, broke down after seeing Dijun and Taiyi obtain the merit of the Great Dao. That's why he couldn't help but appear in the Heavenly Court, wanting to teach Dijun and Taiyi a lesson and vent his anger!
"That's fine!"

"Given the current strength of the human and demon races, they are most likely unable to truly threaten my second brother."

"Not to mention that he is an immortal and indestructible Heavenly Saint!"

"Letting him vent his anger and taking a hit on the arrogance of the human and demon races might not be a bad thing."

"As long as my second brother doesn't interfere with the conversion of chaotic spiritual energy into innate spiritual energy, or cause the fate of Tai Chu and the others, that's fine!"

Gradually, Taiqing shook his head and stopped paying attention to it.

He knew Yuanshi's temperament very well; if he went to stop him now, it would only make Yuanshi's resentment even greater.

As long as Taiqing keeps a close eye on the Heavenly Court and prevents any party from taking any excessive actions, then it's fine.

At the same time, in Taiqing's eyes, this might also be a good opportunity to test the specific strength that the demon race can exert after possessing the new version of the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen", the new version of the "Hun Yuan He Luo Da Zhen", and the "Wan Yao Da Zhen"!

The West, Mount Sumeru!

"As expected of Yuanshi, he entered the fray without hesitation?"

"Ha! Go ahead and fight, fight as hard as you want, anyway, whatever the outcome, it has nothing to do with the West!"

In contrast, Jieyin and Zhunti seemed to have a "the more the merrier" mentality.

Chaos, Purple Cloud Palace!

"..."

Hongjun naturally sensed Yuanshi's actions, but paid no attention to them.

For him now, everything else is trivial except for refining the Heavenly Dao Will within the Heavenly Punishment Seal and completely mastering the power of the Heavenly Dao!
Heaven!

The Palace of the Heavenly Clouds!

"Yuanshi Tianzun?"

What are you doing in my Heavenly Court?

"Do you really think that we humans and demons are afraid of you?"

"Heh, it seems the last calamity of the conferment of gods didn't hurt you enough. Or do you think that without the help of Tai Chu and the others, my human and demon races can be bullied by you at will?"

"..."

Upon seeing Yuanshi Tianzun descend with an air of accusation, Dijun, Taiyi, and the others, filled with shock, anger, and murderous intent, spoke up.

For both humans and demons, the Heavenly Dao represented by Yuanshi is their greatest enemy!

Not to mention, it's obvious that Yuanshi is looking for trouble this time!
"Humph!"

"You dare to spout such nonsense?"

"Since you refuse to turn back, then I'll show you what a Heavenly Saint truly is!"

"town!"

Faced with the anger and killing intent displayed by Di Jun, Tai Yi, Sui Ren Shi, and Huang Tian, ​​Yuan Shi gave a disdainful snort and then activated the immense sage power within his body, condensing a massive hand of magical power that blotted out the sky and slammed down towards the entire Heavenly Court!

"boom!"

As soon as the Primordial One unleashed his powerful magic, everyone present, including all the demons, felt immense pressure.

It was as if the other party could kill them all, including the demons, on the spot at any time if they wanted to!
Even someone as powerful as Di Jun and Tai Yi felt a strong sense of death threat in his heart at this moment!

"As expected of Yuanshi, one of the Four Sages of Heaven, his strength is indeed terrifying!"

"Now, neither human nor demon could possibly be his match!"

"But if we add the Primordial Chaos-level formation of my human and demon races, then it will be a different story!"

"..."

Di Jun, Tai Yi, Sui Ren Shi, and Huang Tian were not too afraid at the moment. On the contrary, they actually wanted to test the specific strength difference between the current human and demon races and the Heavenly Dao Saint like Yuan Shi.
"Second brother, you are the strongest among us!"

"We will now imbue you with the power of the formation!"

"Whether you can teach Yuanshi a lesson and show him the price of underestimating my human and demon races depends on you!"

Immediately afterwards, Di Jun also spoke to Tai Yi.

The others also focused their expectant and trusting gazes on Taiyi.

"Do not worry!"

"Unless another Heavenly Saint descends, no one can easily suppress my human and demon races!"

Taiyi spoke with unwavering confidence! (End of Chapter)
