Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

Chapter 123 [The one with the highest virtue wins; if you disagree, fight!] (Please subscribe)

Houtu looked at Yuanshi Tianzun and chuckled, "The primordial world is teeming with countless beings. Even in Luobogang, I could find several suitable candidates for Fellow Daoist Yuanshi! I just wonder, Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, are you willing to relinquish the positions of two Venerables and Six Emperors for the sake of so-called justice and righteousness?"

She's really going head-to-head with the Primordial Celestial Lord!

Yuanshi Tianzun, however, refused to budge an inch: "In the primordial chaos, there is a Dao, and gods are one with the Dao. Since it is the authority of the Heavenly Dao, it naturally belongs to those who possess the highest Dao! Even if you, fellow Daoist, can find suitable candidates, given their current state of losing their Dao and self, can they possibly rival the disciples of my Chan Sect?"

Whether it's Lei Ze or Dong Wang Gong, they are both currently trapped in the calamity of losing themselves and have not yet returned from this calamity. How can they compete with the disciples of his Chan Sect?

"What a fitting description: the one with the highest virtue attains it!"

Houtu laughed upon hearing this: "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, don't forget those words! Since you can support your disciples, so can I. I'll support a few talents I value! Then we'll see whose cultivation is higher!"

Within the Purple Cloud Palace, there were no flashing swords or supernatural powers, but the verbal and physical battles were even more exciting than those between powerful beings!

The Great Luo Realm beings were also happy to see the sages vying for power. The Great Dao is all about competition, and only when the sages constantly fought for control of the heavens and earth could these Great Luo Realm beings have the opportunity to profit from it.

The matter of twenty reincarnations is indeed cruel, but since Houtu was able to attain enlightenment, it means that they also have the opportunity to transform from pawns into players.

If Heaven had feelings, it too would grow old; the Great Dao is impartial and ruthless. In the primordial world, although there were sages in charge, it also gave other beings the opportunity to reach the highest position.

Now, it all depends on whether these living beings can seize this opportunity!

This is a once-in-a-millennium event!

Some of the most senior Luo Immortals even considered the Human Path. Now that the Earthly Path has emerged, will the Human Path also emerge in this era?

No one in this world is born to be a supporting character for their entire life.

But if you want to become the protagonist, you have to work hard to achieve it.

All things contend with each other, and the fittest survive. Cultivation is the same. Only by overwhelming other Great Luo Immortals can one possibly ascend to the supreme position of Saint!

Seeing that Houtu and Yuanshi Tianzun remained silent, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, sitting on the cloud bed, glanced at the phantom of Rahu in Zixiao Palace and said to himself, "The situation has changed. From now on, unless it concerns the survival of the Primordial True Realm, don't bother this old Daoist!"

As he spoke, several wisps of auspicious clouds rose above his head, transforming into several spiritual treasures such as the Haotian Tower, Haotian Sword, and Haotian Mirror before everyone's eyes.

"Haotian, Yaochi, now that Dijun has revealed the secrets of the past twenty eras, I no longer wish to use the positions of Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress to bind you two! I will still bestow upon you the Haotian Tower, Haotian Sword, Haotian Mirror, Peach Tree, and Plain Cloud Banner, but... whether you choose to go to the Primordial World and serve as Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress for several eons is a decision for you two to make!"

Before the words were finished, these several innate spiritual treasures, along with the peach tree from the ten innate spiritual roots, flew towards the two Daoist boys who were standing quietly at the entrance of Zixiao Palace, accompanied by two dazzling beams of immortal light.

As the celestial light descended, the auras of the two Daoist boys changed drastically. One became majestic and handsome, while the other became beautiful and dignified, displaying a myriad of graceful manners.

"Thank you, sir!"

Upon seeing this, Haotian and Yaochi quickly bowed in gratitude and put away the spiritual treasures in the void, but a hint of hesitation flashed in their eyes.

The two of them were also Great Luo Immortals. Di Jun naturally saw the scenes projected into the River of Time and Space by the Zhou Tian Star Array and the Chaos Bell. Yuan Shi Tian Zun's usurpation of the Heavenly Court, as well as the inexplicable appearance of his sister, nephew, and niece... which gave Hao Tian a huge headache!

If he continues to stay in Zixiao Palace, those troublesome matters will naturally not bother him, and he will not have to suffer the humiliation from the disciples of Chan Sect and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Can……

If he continues to be a Daoist disciple in Zixiao Palace, or goes to the prehistoric world to become a wandering immortal, without enough merit and fortune to aid his cultivation, he will only ever reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in his entire life!

Becoming the Heavenly Emperor has many disadvantages, but at this moment, as long as he sits on that position, he can immediately borrow the fortune of the Heavenly Court to eliminate one of his corpses.

Although he lived a rather pathetic life in those twenty reincarnations, he still became a top figure below the level of a saint in the immeasurable kalpa.

"This time, I know the future, and perhaps the future can be changed because of it!"

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Haotian's mind. As long as he didn't get involved in the struggle between Xuanyuan and Chiyou in the battle for the Human Emperor, his true spirit wouldn't be damaged by that barbarian Xingtian!

If the true spirit is not damaged, there is no need for reincarnation and tribulations, and there will be no inexplicable extra sisters, let alone suddenly having an extra nephew and niece.

but……

His gaze involuntarily fell on Yang Jian again. Since the other party had already attained the Great Luo Dao, he probably wouldn't disappear just because of his thoughts!

With Yuanshi Tianzun around, no matter how I deal with it, I will gain another younger sister. But can I change my attitude towards Yang Jian's family and make Yang Jian and Yang Chan my allies?

Furthermore, Tongtian Jiaozhu and Houtu, who have just attained enlightenment, are clearly at odds with Yuanshi Tianzun. Is it possible to win them over?

"This disciple is willing to become the Heavenly Emperor, to restore order to the primordial world, and to share the burdens of my master!"

Haotian made his choice. Rather than being a Daoist disciple, he wanted to become the Heavenly Emperor and strive for that one chance to become a saint!

Yaochi followed suit and made her choice. If Haotian left, there would be no point in her staying alone in Zixiao Palace!

"good!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded and was about to pull Luo Hou into the Heavenly Dao Origin Space, but Demon Ancestor Luo Hou had finally come out to breathe, so why would he be willing to continue being suppressed by Hongjun?

Boom!

A monstrous burst of demonic energy erupted, its unparalleled demonic might sweeping across all realms and disrupting the long river of time, causing many Great Luo Immortals in the Purple Cloud Palace to be secretly alarmed.

Unfortunately, the devil is always one step ahead, but the righteous are ten steps ahead. The great calamity of the Lich King has just ended, and it is not yet his turn to wreak havoc on the prehistoric world.

"town!"

A fragmented Jade Disc of Creation suddenly appeared above the head of Dao Ancestor Hongjun. The boundless power of the Heavenly Dao resonated with the original power of the Jade Disc of Creation, transforming into three thousand Heavenly Dao shackles, which instantly suppressed Rahu.

However, Luo Hou was not to be trifled with. Before being suppressed by Hongjun, he directly threw a wisp of his will and a twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus into the prehistoric world.

It moved so fast that even the saints in Zixiao Palace couldn't intercept it in time.

but……

Whether it was because they couldn't intercept it in time, or because they didn't want to, remains to be seen!

Luo Hou, with his unconventional thinking and being the dark side of the Heavenly Dao, is the perfect scapegoat in the Primordial True World!

If any major or unfortunate event were to occur in the primordial world in the future, the sages could completely place the blame on Rahu, the Demon Ancestor!

……

After a wisp of Demon Ancestor Rahu escaped from Zixiao Palace with the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, it severed all heavenly secrets and causal relationships with unpredictable means and disappeared into the river of time and space.

However, what is certain is that this time, he did not go to the West, nor did he choose Kinnara, a disciple of the two Western saints.

He wanted to find an even bigger variable!

Although the Great Luo Council had concluded in Zixiao Palace, the Great Luo beings of the heavens involuntarily split into several groups as they left.

Nuwa stopped Houtu directly: "Fellow Daoist Houtu, without my authority as the Mother Earth, you might have failed. I just wonder if you are willing to accept this favor?"

Houtu nodded: "I will never forget the kindness of your enlightenment. I wonder how Fellow Daoist Nuwa wishes for me to repay this debt of karma?"

"Simple!"

Nuwa laughed and said, "Give me a share of the ancestral root of Xuanhuang that you gave to Styx and the others. I'm also very interested in the status of a Saint of the Earthly Path!"

"Can!"

Houtu nodded, and a stream of Xuanhuang ancestral root flew towards Nuwa.

This was born from the origin of the earth. When she merged with the Dao, she used one of these, and then gave one to Zhen Yuanzi, Xuan Yin, and Minghe respectively.

Now, if Nuwa is given one more, she will only have one left!

but……

She didn't care!

The current source of the earth is insufficient to support the two sages. If Nuwa wants the position of the earth sage, she must find a way to strengthen the source of the earth.

This is a good thing for the origin of the underground world, and for her, it is a golden opportunity to bring Nuwa into the underground world's camp.

The Tongtian Sect Leader also witnessed this scene.

However, he did not ask Houtu for the Xuanhuang Ancestral Root. His Great Dao lies in the acquired world, and the position of Earthly Saint has no appeal to him.

But he remembered the six key locations that Xuan Yin had told him about.

"Reincarnation, Ruins of Return, Mount Buzhou, the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Land of Shadows, the Land of Limitlessness!"

A thought flashed through the mind of the Tongtian Sect Leader: "We can leave Xuan Yin alone for now and let him do as he pleases! But Wudang was born from the Boundless Land and has an affinity with the Earthly Path; perhaps we can try to seize this opportunity!"

Of course, he was not in a hurry. He simply kept the matter in mind and prepared to find a time to communicate with the Holy Mother of Wudang and Houtu.

At this moment, Daoist Styx appeared before him: "Greetings, Sage. Styx wishes to make a deal with Sage Tongtian?"

"What kind of deal?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader immediately became interested.

Styx's move was undoubtedly a gesture of goodwill towards him, which was a good start.

The Styx Daoist took out the Treasure-Falling Coin and slowly said, "I know that this top-grade innate spiritual treasure is destined for your disciple Zhao Gongming! Therefore, I would like to use this top-grade innate spiritual treasure to exchange for a promise! If I have the opportunity to attain enlightenment in the future, I request that the Tongtian Sage protect me once!"

As Xuan Yin said, both of them had offended Zhunti Daoist, but Xuan Yin had the Tongtian Sect Master and Nuwa as his backers.

But the River Styx doesn't have it!

After much deliberation, Styx decided to use the Treasure-Dropping Coin to make a deal with the Tongtian Sect Leader in exchange for his protection of him in the future.

no way!

Among the saints of the Primordial Realm, the Tongtian Sect Master is undoubtedly the one with the most principles, unlike the two Western Saints who are fickle and unpredictable.

Furthermore, the Treasure-Dropping Coins in his possession were exactly what the disciples of the Tongtian Sect Leader needed.

"good!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader readily agreed, accepting the Treasure-Falling Coin: "I, Tongtian, swear to the Great Dao that when Daoist Styx attains enlightenment, I will protect him to settle the karma of today!"

Boom!

As witnessed by the Great Dao, an invisible force of cause and effect descended upon the Tongtian Sect Leader, the Styx Daoist, and the Falling Treasure Coin.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Daoist Styx was overjoyed. After bowing to the Tongtian Sect Leader, he took out the Azure Lotus Banner and walked towards Nuwa beside him.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, I wish to exchange this spiritual treasure for a promise from you!"

Upon hearing this, Nuwa couldn't help but reveal a strange smile: "This must be Zhunti's treasure! It really is a hot potato!"

The sacred treasures of the sages contain infinite causes and effects.

The two Western Saints, in particular, were both incredibly poor, and this Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Banner was one of the few top-grade innate spiritual treasures they possessed.

Most people wouldn't dare to take on this karmic burden!

However, as a sage, Nuwa was naturally not afraid of this cause and effect, and even looked at Zhunti Daoist beside her in a provocative manner.

"I accept this karma!"

Upon seeing this, Zhunti flew into a rage and said, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, a sage cannot be insulted! You first used the Map of Mountains and Rivers to suppress my evil corpse, and I haven't even held it against you yet! Now, are you going to interfere with the karma between me and Daoist Styx for the sake of a spiritual treasure?"

"Why not?"

Nuwa sneered, "If you're not convinced, then go fight it out in the chaos!"
