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

Chapter 228 [The Mysterious Gate of Heaven and Earth, the Altar of All Spirits] (Bonus Chapter for 2000 Monthly Tickets)

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded in satisfaction: "Then I, your master, will grant you the audacity to pull Donghuang Taiyi down from his divine pedestal!"

Before the words were finished, the illusory image of the River of Time and Space appeared, reflecting the scene of the North Sea Eye, and a leopard's gall containing boundless calamity flew out.

Upon closer inspection, a trace of the Jade Purity Immortal Technique can be seen on this leopard gall.

"Teacher, this is..."

Looking at the leopard's audacity before him, Taiyi Zhenren felt a chill run down his spine. Coupled with the North Sea Eye, it seemed he was thinking of something terrible.

"This is the guts of that wicked disciple Shen Gongbao!"

With a thought, Yuanshi Tianzun caused the leopard's gall to merge into Taiyi Zhenren's body, while Taiyi Zhenren's original gall transformed into a stream of light and flew away, landing in the future timeline on Shen Gongbao, who had not yet taken human form.

"In the primordial true world, none are more audacious than Rahu, Gonggong, Zhuanxu, and Tongtian—those who dared to recreate earth, water, fire, and wind. And below them, Shen Gongbao, that wicked disciple, should be ranked number one!"

"Since you insist on vying with Taiyi for the throne, then I, your master, will lend you my leopard's gall!"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren should have been terrified, but at this moment, a leopard's courage surged within him, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of audacity that could even bring down a sage: "Taiyi is nothing to speak of! Master, just wait and see!"

"good!"

Upon seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun laughed loudly, "You are formed from the essence of the Nine Yangs, born from the Primordial Azure Qi. You are a top-tier innate spirit, possessing the most venerable, noble, holy, and spiritual qualities. Now that you have the courage of a leopard, you should use your divine heart to control the Path of Tribulation and transform Taiyi into your own resources!"

Taiyi's attainment of divine origin, while hindering his path to enlightenment, has two sides.

Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. If Taiyi Zhenren can seize this opportunity, he may become the second generation of Yuanshi.

"The origin of the divine path belongs to the capable; those who are willing to risk their lives dare to dethrone Taiyi!"

With a determined look on his face, Taiyi Zhenren respectfully bowed to Yuanshi Tianzun before transforming into countless beings to search for the Taiyi Treasure in all the heavens!

At the same time, Yaochi also arrived at Zixiao Palace. As soon as she entered the palace gate, she kowtowed and said, "Please, Master, do justice for your disciple and Haotian!"

She did not ask the Dao Ancestor to punish Yuanshi Tianzun, nor did she mention reshaping Haotian's physical body; she simply expressed her grievances through her actions.

Yaochi is a clever person!

She knew that the Dao Ancestor was all-knowing and must know what was happening in the Primordial Realm. Since he did not intervene when Haotian was on the verge of death, it meant that he was somewhat disappointed in Haotian!

As for asking the Dao Ancestor to punish Yuanshi Tianzun, that's impossible. Below the sages, all are ants; the two of them are not worthy of the Dao Ancestor's thunderous wrath.

"This is Haotian's calamity!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not appear; only a profound and mysterious power of the Heavenly Dao descended, transforming into the essence of creation to nourish Haotian's damaged true spirit.

"Back then, when Di Jun exposed everything and all the Great Luo Immortals gathered at Zixiao Palace, Haotian still chose to sit on that so-called Heavenly Emperor's throne. Therefore, everything he's experiencing now is something he should bear!"

"Go and be reborn!"

With a thought, Dao Ancestor Hongjun unleashed a Heavenly Dao vortex containing the power of reincarnation, which carried Po Yuzhong and Haotian's true spirits away.

Having gone through twenty cycles of reincarnation, He naturally has a way to bypass the six realms of reincarnation.

"Yaochi, do you regret it?"

After sending Haotian's true spirit through its tribulation, the Dao Ancestor's voice rang out once more: "Haotian has acted willfully; do you also wish to contend for the path of the Dao?"

"yes!"

Yaochi nodded: "This disciple doesn't want to be trapped in Zixiao Palace for the rest of my life!"

Although staying in Zixiao Palace means being free from disasters and calamities, how can a cultivator possibly glimpse the highest realm without exchanging ideas with fellow practitioners?

"good!"

The voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun came from an unknown place, and the Investiture of the Gods on Yaochi's body flew out instantly and was restored to its original state under the effect of the Qiankun Cauldron.

But this is not the end.

Within the Purple Cloud Palace, the auras of two more top-grade innate spiritual treasures emerged: one was a portal, and the other was a golden altar.

"This portal, named the Heaven and Earth Mystic Gate, possesses the power to suppress destiny, and within it lies a magnificent and vast world!"

"Now that the Heavenly Court has lost its treasure for suppressing destiny, this Mysterious Gate of Heaven and Earth is bestowed upon you!"

"As for that altar..."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun paused for a moment, then continued, "That belongs to the Human Emperor Nine-Headed Clan. The Five Ancient Emperors once discussed the Dao on this altar, and the Human Emperor Nine-Headed Clan, on this very altar, used the Primordial Five-Colored Divine Soil and the essence and blood of the Five Ancient Emperors to create the Primordial Five-Colored Human Race!"

Its name is the Altar of All Souls!

"It contains a trace of the power of humanity's origin, as well as the imprint of the Five Ancient Emperors. It can enhance the strength of cultivators on the path of divinity through incense offerings!"

"The transformation of Taiyi into Dao has secured a glimmer of hope for the divine path. You can use this treasure and incense offerings to enhance the cultivation of many deities in Heaven!"

"Haotian is undergoing a tribulation and cannot return for the time being, so the Heavenly Court is entrusted to your management!"

Upon hearing this, Yaochi was startled, then overjoyed, saying, "Thank you for bestowing this treasure, Master! This disciple will certainly not let you down!"

Although Haotian disappointed the Dao Ancestor, she has not yet succeeded. If she can subdue the gods, the Primordial True Realm may have one more Yaochi Empress.

Go!

Without saying much, Dao Ancestor Hongjun moved Yaochi out of Zixiao Palace with a thought.

……

The affairs of Zixiao Palace are difficult for ordinary people to understand, but Xuan Yin and Jinling Shengmu were unwilling to miss the opportunity when Haotian and Yaochi were not around.

In order to sort out the ancient starry sky and consolidate her own power, the Golden Spirit Mother directly led the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, as well as 48,000 outer disciples of the Intercepting Sect, into the ancient starry sky, and, with the help of Doumu Yuanjun, firmly controlled the Taiwei Enclosure.

As for the Purple Palace Enclosure, she didn't interfere. That was the territory of the Purple Palace Emperor and the Gouchen Emperor. She would deal with it after they returned from their tribulations.

Getting involved now is neither proper nor justifiable, and it will also unwittingly taint the karma of the two individuals.

Not worth the candle!

The Jie Sect may not have much else, but it has a large number of disciples. Most of the outer disciples led by the Golden Spirit Mother are born with the destiny of stars. Even the weakest of them have the cultivation of a True Immortal, enough to suppress those ordinary stars.

These disciples of the Jie Sect were basically the stars and evil spirits who had fallen and been listed in the Investiture of the Gods during the Great Tribulation of the Heavenly Dao!

Before long, these disciples of the Jie Sect, under the decree of the Holy Mother Jinling, began to sort out the many stars in the ancient starry sky with the help of array flags.

The Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends need no further explanation; each of them, centered on the Taiwei Enclosure, suppresses a region of stars.

The 48,000 evil spirits were divided into two groups: half worked with the Twenty-Eight Constellations and others, while the other half followed the Golden Spirit Mother to correct the orbits of the stars.

During the great calamity of the Lich King, Di Jun and others created the Star Banner and practiced the Zhou Tian Star Array, which still had a significant impact on the stars in the heavens.

Whether it was the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation against the Witch Clan at the very beginning, or the Zhou Tian Star Formation used by Emperor Jun at the end of the Great Calamity to seal off the Sumeru Ancestral Vein, hold back the two Western Saints, and help Houtu attain enlightenment, all of these had extremely serious effects on many stars in the Primordial Starry Sky.

The primordial energy of the stars was excessively absorbed, and a portion of its brilliance was directly transformed into darkness.

But the most serious issue is the change in the trajectory of the stars. The displacement of the stars has caused some problems with the four seasons and weather in the Primordial Realm.

These problems should have been handled by the Heavenly Court, but unfortunately, after Haotian became the Heavenly Emperor, he was focused on increasing his strength and suppressing the human dynasty, and he really didn't care much about this desolate place in the ancient starry sky!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have directly appointed Zhao Gongming as the Heavenly Market Star Lord and entrusted him with the management of the vast Heavenly Market Enclosure!

"It's too chaotic!"

Faced with such a chaotic situation, even the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, now the Mother of All Stars, is unable to restore the stars to their proper places.

Those top-tier stars are alright; she knows their general trajectory. If all else fails, Xuan Yin can use Zi Wei Dou Shu to help her deduce a thing or two.

But there are just too many auxiliary stars, hundreds of millions, and even the forty-eight thousand evil stars seem like a drop in the ocean compared to these stars!

"Perhaps we should go to the great god Fuxi and borrow the Zhou Tian Xing Tu (a celestial map)!"

Xuan Yin also felt a headache coming on.

However, he quickly came up with a solution. The Zhou Tian Star Chart in Fuxi's hands was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure that came with the Ziwei Emperor. It recorded the orbital trajectories of all the stars after the opening of the Primordial True Realm, which was enough to help the Golden Spirit Mother complete the star repositioning.

In fact, after Xuan Yin returned, he had the idea of ​​going to find Fu Xi, but unfortunately, Fu Xi used the method of death escape to avoid the heavenly punishment sent down by the Heavenly Dao, so he really couldn't find Fu Xi for a while!

He originally wanted to discuss with Fuxi that since Fuxi couldn't resolve the Heavenly Punishment in the short term, he should become the second-generation Fuxi!

With the help of the method of self-transformation, he could completely transform himself into someone identical to Fuxi, even down to the essence of his primordial spirit and bloodline.

If Fuxi is willing, he could bring in some more powerful figures and turn the name "Fuxi" into a universal alias that many powerful figures can use, or a symbolic Dao fruit, which would be even better!

Many great immortals, if they can't prove Pangu in a short time, can at least prove Fuxi first!

The Great Dao of Taiyi that he has mastered is the first of the Five Primordial Daos. It is of great help in going against the primordial chaos, to the point of proving the most ancient source before the creation of the world, and even to residing in Pangu and comprehending the Great Dao of Pangu.

Just as Xuan Yin was pondering, Ye Ming brought good news: he had used the Dao of Time to contact Fu Xi, who was in the act of escaping death.

Therefore, Xuan Yin directly used the Great Luo Dao Fruit to project himself into the river of time and space.

Fuxi was bound by divine punishment; he dared not return directly to the primordial world until this karmic debt was cleared.

Seeing Fuxi's disheveled appearance, Xuan Yin couldn't help but tease, "It seems that the Great God Fuxi hasn't been having a good time lately!"

Stop being so cheeky!

Upon hearing this, Fuxi said irritably, "If you were like me, locked in by heavenly punishment, you probably wouldn't look much better!"

"Speak!"

"What do you want?"

"Of course, if you can't help me break this deadlock, then there's no need to waste your breath!"

Xuan Yin immediately laughed and said, "I can't break this deadlock. Although I really want to change the rules of Heaven, I clearly don't have that ability right now!"

"but……"

"If Fellow Daoist Fuxi is willing, I can temporarily act on your behalf, or find a few powerful individuals to help forge a Fuxi Dao Fruit!"

"Since the Ancestral Dragon can make everyone a dragon, why can't we allow more cultivators to attain the Fuxi Dao Fruit and perfect the Dao of Humanity?"
