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

Chapter 221 [Fate plays tricks, the supreme being] (Please subscribe)

Hearing the Dao Ancestor's question, Xuan Yin did not hesitate and directly revealed his ambition: "Grandmaster, this disciple is simply too eager to improve! If Grandmaster is willing to give me some guidance, this disciple is willing to go through fire and water for you!"

"Whether it's the demonic path, the Buddhist path, or the divine path, all should be restrained by the immortal path! Only you, Grandmaster, can lead all living beings to progress!"

"loyalty!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's expression changed slightly. He was not afraid that Xuan Yin would ask for benefits. As the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial World, he could give Xuan Yin some benefits that would be enough for him to enjoy endlessly!

But Xuan Yin only expressed his loyalty and did not directly ask for benefits, which put him in a difficult position!

This means the choice has been given to him!

Although he had given away most of his spiritual treasures, he could still refine new innate spiritual treasures at any time with the Qiankun Cauldron!

In fact, with the profound mystery of the Qiankun Cauldron reversing the innate, he can refine as many innate spiritual treasures as he wants. As long as he is willing, he can distribute more innate spiritual treasures. The Buddhist method of severing the three bodies can never replace the method of severing the three corpses that he created!

However, if he did this, it would inevitably deplete the primordial essence of the world and cause the immeasurable calamity of this era to arrive prematurely.

Therefore, in the past twenty reincarnations, he never bestowed the Qiankun Cauldron upon her. Even when Nuwa needed to refine the Five-Colored Stones and reverse their innate nature when she mended the sky, he only temporarily lent the Qiankun Cauldron to Nuwa. After the Five-Colored Stones and the four Heavenly Pillars were refined, he immediately took it back.

Suddenly, Hongjun's heart stirred, and he looked at Xuan Yin, saying, "The Primordial Measuring Ruler is in your hands, isn't it? Take it out and let me see it!"

Xuan Yin did not hesitate at all and respectfully presented the Primordial Measuring Ruler.

He believed that Hongjun, as the Dao Ancestor, would certainly not covet one of his acquired treasures!

"fall!"

With a thought, Dao Ancestor Hongjun sent out an ancient and mysterious cauldron from his sleeve, which landed steadily in the center of Zixiao Palace.

The cauldron is bluish-black in color. At the bottom center of the cauldron is a Taiji diagram, surrounded by two Yin-Yang fish. The outer side of the cauldron has eight equally divided surfaces, composed of Bagua symbols and characters, symbolizing eight natural phenomena. The cauldron has two handles, symbolizing the changes of the two polarities of heaven and earth. The four legs at the bottom of the cauldron symbolize the birth and death of the four primordial phenomena.

Forty-nine innate restrictions intertwined in the void, forming the legendary innate treasure—the Qiankun Cauldron—evolved from the lotus pod of the Chaos Green Lotus!

The Primordial Measuring Ruler fell directly into it.

But this is not the end.

Although the Qiankun Cauldron is a supreme innate treasure, it also possesses the profound power to refine all things and return to their origin, capable of transforming acquired things into innate treasures. However, without sufficient innate source, it is impossible to refine a supreme innate treasure.

"out!"

On the cloud bed, Dao Ancestor Hongjun let out a soft shout, and a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi was stripped from the Chaotic Limitless Auspicious Cloud above his head.

"this……"

Xuan Yin was shocked: "Grandmaster, this is the foundation for becoming a saint, the very basis for your Dao attainment! You just pulled it out like that?"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun laughed and said, "I have merged with the Dao for twenty chaotic eras. I can say that I know the Primordial Heavenly Dao like the back of my hand, as if I could see the lines on my palm. Is it possible that I cannot merge with the Dao without the Primordial Purple Qi?"

"The Primordial Purple Qi is merely an external phenomenon. Although it is the key to connecting with the Heavenly Dao, as long as you have a sufficient understanding of the fundamental rules of the Heavenly Dao, even without the Primordial Purple Qi, merging with the Heavenly Dao is merely a matter of a single thought!"

"Don't you know that it was this old Taoist who sorted out the rules of heaven and earth and inherited the cause and effect of the Cangli clan, so that the primordial heavenly Dao could be officially born?"

"Pangu existed before Heaven, and Hongjun existed even before the Heavenly Dao. Without Hongjun, where would the Heavenly Dao come from, and where would the so-called Heavenly Dao Saint's position come from?"

"The Primordial Purple Qi is for those few. Although I left behind a trace, it's dispensable to me!"

Yes!

Hongjun was one of the creators of the Heavenly Dao. The basic framework of the Heavenly Dao was built by Emperor Cangli and his predecessor, Emperor Hong. The so-called Primordial Purple Qi should have been conceived after the Heavenly Dao was perfected.

The later sages, whether it be Rahu, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, or Zhunti, can only be considered as filling in the gaps on the framework of Cangli and Hongjun. The Primordial Purple Qi is just a key, a certificate given by Hongjun to the other sages to connect with the Heavenly Dao.

As for Hongjun himself, although he also possessed the Primordial Purple Qi, he had no use for it at all!

Under Xuan Yin's shocked gaze, the Primordial Purple Qi was directly poured into the Qiankun Cauldron, and under the influence of the Taiwu Immortal Fire, it merged with the Primordial Measuring Ruler.

The Primordial Purple Qi was born from the Heavenly Dao and can be considered the most supreme innate origin, theoretically comparable to innate treasures.

At this moment, under the influence of the Taiwu Immortal Fire and the Primordial Purple Qi, the forty-nine acquired restrictions on the Primordial Measuring Ruler gradually transformed into innate restrictions.

Furthermore, a force of order manifested, seemingly capable of balancing all the Great Daos of the Primordial True Realm.

"out!"

With a thought from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler flew out of the Qiankun Cauldron and landed precisely in front of Xuan Yin.

However, at this moment, the Primordial Measuring Ruler has transformed into a supreme innate treasure!

Xuan Yin quickly grasped it, preparing to explore the mysteries of its transformation, when he saw Dao Ancestor Hongjun on the cloud bed slowly speak: "The Primordial Purple Qi is a symbol of the authority of the Heavenly Dao. This treasure has been infused with a portion of the authority of the Heavenly Dao. It is a rule within the order I govern, called the Great Dao of Balance. By holding this treasure, you can borrow a portion of my power at crucial moments!"

"With this treasure, although you are not a saint, you can remain undefeated before a saint!"

The Dao attainments of these sages are all connected to the Heavenly Dao to some extent, but their authority relies on the Great Dao of Order established by Hongjun.

Therefore, as long as they are in the Primordial True Realm, Dao Ancestor Hongjun can balance their power!

"Thank you, Grandmaster!"

Xuan Yin was overjoyed and immediately prostrated himself before Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Our master is truly amazing!

In this way, even if the Tongtian Sect Master is not present, he can use this treasure to protect his life if he faces other Heavenly Saints alone.

What is the Great Way of Balance?

Isn't this a 50/50 chance?

As long as you are bound by the laws of Heaven, I can use the Great Dao of Balance to fight you to a standstill!

Hongjun nodded and continued, "If Luo Hou wants you to inherit the Dao Fruit, then inherit it! Since he doesn't want to be bound by the Heavenly Dao order, then let him be! This old Daoist also wants to see what tricks he can pull after breaking away from the Heavenly Dao."

"As for Taiqing, his cultivation is the highest among the Six Sages. It's understandable that he's unwilling to inherit the karma of the immortal path!"

"In my view, some causes and effects only require someone to inherit them. Otherwise, do you think you and Taiyi could receive my mark?"

Although Hongjun gave Xuan Yin enough benefits, he did not forget to give Xuan Yin a warning.

after all……

Judging from the current situation, Xuan Yin is indeed the biggest variable of this era.

Xuan Yin quickly lowered his head.

In this regard, he actually had some speculations. Hongjun's method of reducing emptiness required someone to inherit cause and effect, but there were no requirements for the person who would inherit it.

Just like those who inherit the cause and effect of the divine path, it could be Taiyi, Haotian, Yuanshi, or even anyone in the primordial world.

The three thousand Great Immortals of Zixiao Palace are essentially the same as the Great Enlightened Golden Immortals of Gudu Garden.

Those who are favored by Amitabha Buddha can become the successor of Shakyamuni, and those who are favored by the Taoist Ancestor can also become the successor of the Taoist Ancestor.

The six sages, along with Haotian and Yaochi, are the first option, but not the only option.

After thinking it over, Xuan Yin decided to sell Taiqing Laozi out even more thoroughly, telling Hongjun everything about Taiqing Laozi's analysis of the Dao Ancestor's karma and successor in the Eight Views Palace, hoping to gain some support.

"Grandmaster!"

"My grand-disciple swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao for the sake of the Purple-Gold Red Gourd, owing three favors to the Supreme Lord Taiqing. His second request was to remove the Emperor Hong mark you left behind. If he were to make any further demands that might offend you, Grandmaster, please forgive him!"

The cause and effect of Taiqing Laozi always lingered in Xuan Yin's mind. Out of some concern, he directly gave Dao Ancestor a heads-up.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun remained unmoved, merely smiling and saying, "As expected of my eldest disciple, your analysis of cause and effect is quite accurate! However, the more he tries to avoid getting involved in cause and effect, the more it will find him!"

"You little rascal, you're quite the schemer. You're probably just getting your comeuppance from Taiqing!"

"I won't hide it from you!"

"If you inherit Rahu's Dao Fruit, you will also inherit the karma that belongs to the calamity. In the future, you will inevitably participate in the great calamity between Buddha and demon!"

"As for your teacher, although he does indeed symbolize a variable, in my opinion, your impact on the Primordial True Realm is even greater than that of Tongtian!"

"Are you interested in inheriting the variables?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin immediately spoke up, saying, "That's not quite right! My teacher doesn't seem to be against inheriting variables! He even told me that the more variables there are, the stronger he will be, the greater his authority in the Heavenly Dao, and the more power he can leverage from the Heavenly Dao!"

Only by becoming a saint can one be qualified to think about reducing and seeking emptiness, and eliminating cause and effect.

How to become a saint is a difficult problem facing many great supernatural beings. Otherwise, in the twenty cycles of reincarnation in the Primordial True World, how could only those people become saints or Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals?

Xuan Yin is undoubtedly ahead of the curve. Although he has been tainted by many karmas, he has obtained the key to becoming a saint ahead of time!

The authentic primordial energy, the karma of Rahu, and the current regard of the Dao Ancestor!

Once Xuan Yin reaches the realm of a sage, he can completely emulate Nuwa and attain enlightenment in both the Heaven and Earth realms, rapidly accumulating his own foundation!

"That's more like Tongtian's personality!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded: "The Heavenly Dao is like a towering walled city. Those below the level of a sage desperately strive for the qualification to enter it, while the sages, after accumulating their own power through the Heavenly Dao, try every means to escape it. Truly, fate is unpredictable, and destiny is capricious!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin boldly asked a question that had puzzled him for a long time: "Grandmaster, since you and Luo Hou are reincarnations of Chaos Demon Gods, you should have been Primordial Golden Immortals when you were born from the Great Dao, and be able to awaken the memories of past eras. Why then do you need to reincarnate repeatedly in the Primordial World?"

"Have you never tried cooperating with the great god Pangu to find another way to avoid being trapped in this endless cycle of reincarnation?"

At Danxue Mountain, he glimpsed the memories of the God of Wisdom. Since the God of Wisdom knew about the cycle of eras when he was the God of Chaos, then Hongjun, Rahu, Yangmei Immortal, and others must also know about it.

"You really want to know?"

Hongjun didn't answer, but sighed, "Sometimes, knowing too much isn't a good thing; it can unnecessarily impose more constraints on oneself!"

"Please enlighten me, Grandmaster!"

Xuan Yin immediately bowed to Dao Ancestor Hongjun. He was born with a keen mind and great wisdom, and exploring secrets naturally became his nature.

"The power of correction!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun didn't keep them in suspense any longer: "In this chaotic universe, there exists a corrective force that surpasses even that of Sages and Primordial Golden Immortals!"

"Pangu's slaying of three thousand chaotic demons, creating heaven and earth, and evolving the primordial true world was all part of a script pre-written by a supreme being!"

"Any attempt to deviate from this script will invite the corrective power of the Great Dao!"

"besides……"

"Once we are slain by Pangu and lose our Chaos Demon God Dao Fruit, we will unconsciously forget those things about the cycle of eras!"

"Only when we attain enlightenment again will we be able to retrieve that memory from endless time and space!"

"Therefore, this humble Taoist feels remorse!"

"If I were Emperor Hong, with memories of twenty reincarnations, and viewing all living beings as mere straw dogs, how could I possibly feel any remorse?"

Xuan Yin was immediately startled. Only when one becomes a saint or possesses the Dao Fruit of the Primordial Golden Immortal can one recall the matter of reincarnation... What kind of strange rule is this? Or is it that the saint's memories of reincarnation are not engraved deep within the saint's true spirit?

Instead, it relies on the long river of time and space, or the fundamental origin of the chaotic universe.
