Primordial Chaos: I, Dijiang, will never accept this calamity!

Chapter 115 The Great Dao of Intercepting the Sword

A thousand years.

King Zhou did not die; instead, he grew stronger and stronger.

On the contrary, the Ji family has changed emperors countless times.

As slaves of the Heavenly Way, although they died, their souls were extracted by the Heavenly Way and they became Zhou emperors once again.

Even so, they were still no match for King Zhou.

As the last human king, he awakens at a crucial moment.

With the help of Tongtian, they were able to save the collapsing edifice and avert a raging storm, acting as a white jade pillar supporting the sky and a purple-gold beam spanning the sea.

Now, martial arts have been established, giving all of humanity a brand new starting point.

There's no need to worry about innate talent anymore. Even if there is innate talent, it's innate talent as viewed from a human perspective.

It is no longer considered a spiritual root or aptitude by immortals and gods.

On a mountain peak outside Chaoge.

This mountain has nothing special about it; in fact, it's quite ordinary.

Yet, on this seemingly ordinary mountain, Lao Tzu, the embodiment of Taiqing, appeared.

"Tongtian, I've arrived. Aren't you welcoming me?"

When Lao Tzu opened his mouth, he exuded the air of a big brother.

"You wanted to come, it was you who wanted to come."

"I never invited you from beginning to end!!"

Tongtian held a wooden sword, and like a beginner, he was earnestly practicing the moves.

The wooden sword was simple and nothing special.

The sword techniques that Tongtian used were so ordinary that they couldn't be more so.

Even a beginner swordsmith's moves are more impressive than Tongtian's.

But this seemingly ordinary swordsmanship was something that Lao Tzu greatly feared.

This sword is no longer one of the Three Swords of Humanity, but has truly become Tongtian's own swordsmanship.

"What is the name of this sword?"

Lao Tzu seemed to be interested.

When Tongtian obtained the Four Swords of Zhuxian, he made new progress in the way of swordsmanship.

As the eldest brother at the time, the Sage Taiqing didn't say anything, but he was extremely jealous in his heart.

Later, he even founded a so-called Shushan in Mount Emei.

That place was inhabited entirely by cultivators who wielded swords.

The person who founded this mountain was named Changmei, but in reality, he was just a nominal disciple of the Taiqing Sage.

All of this was because Taiqing had taken a liking to Tongtian's swordsmanship, so he descended to the mortal realm and used Changmei's hand to pass down the swordsmanship he had secretly learned.

The so-called flying on a sword, the Purple and Green Twin Swords, is the method of the Tongtian Sword Dao that Taiqing stole.

Now, Lao Tzu, who is eager to hunt, seems to have some ideas again.

"Even if I teach you the way of swordsmanship, you still won't be able to learn it."

Tongtian did not sheathe his sword; instead, he began to demonstrate the sword technique with extreme delicacy in front of the Taiqing Sage.

It was an ordinary sword technique, yet each strike seemed to resonate with the very heavens and earth.

Like the butterfly effect, it pierced through with a single sword strike.

At first, there was no response from heaven and earth, but under the laws of heaven, how could there be a place where nothing could be hidden?

In the eyes of Heaven, every strike from Tongtian will trigger a chain reaction at the far end of the universe.

Moreover, each move was executed without using any magical power, yet its power was already close to the Dao itself.

Such terrifying swordsmanship, Tongtian actually held nothing back.

But the more I looked, the more thrilled I became.

"Tongtian, how dare you!!!"

When he finally saw the sword and discovered its true meaning, the Sage Taiqing suddenly roared at Tongtian.

"I call myself the Jie Sect, and now I am the master of the human realm."

"But I, the Lord of Humanity, also came for the purpose of cutting off the word."

"Brother, what do you think of my Intercepting Sword?"

Tongtian sheathed his sword, but looked at Laozi with a smile.

"You actually dared to steal the power of creation?! Are you insane?!"

It turns out that what Tongtian called the "Sword of Interception" was actually the Great Dao of Creation that was cut off from the primordial world.

However, it was not the true path to creation, but rather a way to use the sword as a catalyst to unleash some mysterious power.

"This isn't stealing, it's understanding!!"

"Without needing three paths, I can still touch the Great Dao of Creation."

"Therefore, I am stronger than you!!!"

Tongtian put down the sword.

From the moment he became the Lord of Humanity, his understanding of the word "intercept" became increasingly clear.

Previously, it was simply about seizing a sliver of hope, which meant going against the grain.

Now that he has become the Lord of Humanity, he has gained much and seen many things clearly by using the authority of humanity.

"Are you trying to completely sever ties with us?"

Laozi looked at Tongtian with a pained expression.

"Speak, what brings you here today?"

The only way to deal with hypocrisy is with reality.

Otherwise, if we keep rambling on, we don't know how much time we'll waste.

Now, with the help of humanity and through a thousand years of effort, I have begun to have new ideas about the Intercepting Dao.

I was thinking of pressing on and continuing to comprehend it.

But then, the Taiqing Heavenly Dao arrived.

"We are the Three Pure Ones; even if we are killed, our bones are still connected."

Lao Tzu's voice changed, and he spoke with utmost sincerity.

"What do you want from me?"

Tongtian let out a cold laugh.

The sudden appearance of the "Insight" card is truly disgusting.

"If you want to leave, we won't stop you, but the Pangu essence within you cannot leave."

Laozi shamelessly looked at Tongtian.

"That's my own stuff, why should I take it out?"

"As long as you have the primordial spirit of Pangu within you, you cannot escape the karma of the Three Pure Ones."

Lao Tzu argued his case forcefully.

"You really want the Pangu essence within me???"

Tongtian held the sword upright against his chest.

He seemed ready to take action at the slightest provocation.

"If you come back, we, the Three Pure Ones, will still be brothers."

"Otherwise, you will never be able to repay this debt of karma."

"And humans, you must make way!!!"

Looking at Tongtian, Laozi completely revealed his ambition.

"You are also the Lord of Heaven, what's the difference between you and me? Don't always talk to me with your moral high ground."

"I admit that in the beginning, you were a very competent leader, and I admired you wholeheartedly."

"But the Taiqing I know and love is no longer the Taiqing I remember."

"I can refuse to give you the origin of Pangu, because I have no need to."

"However, as you said, the cause and effect of the Three Pure Ones is ultimately based on the primordial spirit of Pangu."

"Now that I have grasped the great principles of the Intercepting Dao, I must naturally fight for a chance of survival for my disciples and descendants, and for my human race for thousands of years."

"Of course, I'm not as hypocritical as you."

"To tell you the truth, I've wanted to give up on this Pangu primordial spirit for a long time."

"I just couldn't find a suitable reason. Now that you're here, I'll grant your wish!!!"

"From this day forward, the Three Pure Ones will no longer exist in the primordial world."

Tongtian spoke slowly, as if he were talking about something trivial.

When he finally spoke his mind, he directly extracted the primordial power of Pangu's spirit from his own body.

Tsk! ! !

As if his spinal cord had been pulled out, even Tongtian, the current Lord of Humanity, turned terribly pale in an instant.

This was the foundation of his sainthood, and it had been with him ever since he gained consciousness.

Moreover, it was precisely because of the origin of Pangu's primordial spirit that Tongtian came into being.
