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

Chapter 239 [Using Public Resources for Private Gain, the Jade Disc of Creation] (Please Subscribe)

Zixiao Palace.

As the sacred source of the immortal path, transcending the past, present, and future, ordinary beings who have attained the Great Luo realm will come to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao Ancestor preach.

However, after the three lectures, when Dao Ancestor Hongjun was preparing to merge with the Dao, and many Great Luo Immortals went to the Treasure Distribution Rock, it was a very special time.

In this time and space, it is rare for a Great Luo Immortal to descend, but as soon as the gates of Zixiao Palace closed, Xuan Yin rushed in in a flurry of activity.

"Grandmaster!"

Xuan Yin exclaimed immediately, "Wait a moment, Daoist Master! Your grand-disciple has important news to report!"

"Speak!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun sat on his cloud bed, a helpless expression on his face: "Not long ago, you stole my meditation cushion! Did you come here again to try and extort something from me?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin immediately said sheepishly, "Grandmaster, your grand-disciple truly has something important to report, it concerns the Goddess Nuwa and that Great Immortal Yang Mei!"

Although he did indeed want to gain some benefits from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he would definitely demonstrate his own value in front of Dao Ancestor.

So, he used the most concise language to roughly describe what he had seen and heard in the Ruins of Return, and then shared his analysis with the other party.

"Grandmaster, that Immortal Yang Mei is probably plotting something. Within the Void, that Ruomu tree has already transformed into a Chaos Spiritual Root!"

"Furthermore, not long ago, the Goddess Nuwa held a divine music festival, and the actions of all the saints perfectly fulfilled the conditions for the revival of the Music Demon God!"

"And the Great Immortal Yangmei, having fled far away with the newly revived Music Demon God, is very likely seeking to understand matters of transcendence, searching for that bewitching sound from the previous chaotic era, one that differs from the previous ones!"

"For the sake of his scheme, he might very well resurrect some more Chaos Gods!"

"Those chaotic demons and gods have different thoughts and may not be bound by Great Immortal Yang Mei. Who knows, they might have designs on you, Grandmaster, and the Primordial True Realm!"

Xuan Yin, with an air of unwavering loyalty, deep concern for the world, and supreme devotion to the Dao Ancestor, explained to Hongjun all the possibilities he could think of.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was also somewhat taken aback upon hearing this: "Yang Mei? I didn't expect that fellow to have some schemes in the Void! No wonder I didn't notice him returning to the Primordial World not long ago!"

"Now it seems that he has most likely opened a void passage within the Ruins of Return, allowing him to bypass the detection and surveillance of the Heavenly Dao, thus enabling him to enter and exit the Primordial True Realm right under my nose!"

The power of the Primordial Heavenly Dao covers the four directions of the universe. Whenever a powerful being approaches the Primordial World, or whenever a being from the Primordial World goes to the Chaos, the Heavenly Dao will sense it and transmit the information about the being to Hongjun.

But Yang Mei, who has mastered the Great Dao of Space, can merge into the surrounding spacetime with a thought, and even the power of the Heavenly Dao can hardly track his aura.

Originally, Hongjun thought that Yang Mei was clever, but now it seems that Yang Mei smuggled himself into the prehistoric world through Guixu.

In the Primordial True Realm, there are only a few places that the power of the Heavenly Dao cannot reach: the Netherworld, the Pangu Temple ruled by the Witch Clan, and the Boundless Land and the Ruins of Return, which symbolize the origin and end of the Primordial True Realm!

The Netherworld is a genuine territory, and the power of Heaven cannot easily interfere with it. However, the Pangu Temple of the Wu Clan is protected by the mysterious legacy left by Pangu.

The Land of Limitless is the origin of the creation of the Primordial True Realm. The Heavenly Dao had not yet been born, and there was still a residual imprint of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe. Even though Hongjun merged with the Heavenly Dao, he could not allow the power of the Heavenly Dao to cover this place.

As for the Ruins of Return, it is the place where all things end. All paths cease to exist, and the Heavenly Dao will also perish. Naturally, the power of the Heavenly Dao cannot cover the depths of the Ruins of Return.

As Xuan Yin remained silent, the figure of Dao Ancestor Hongjun vanished instantly, only to reappear a moment later on the cloud bed in Zixiao Palace.

Although he only disappeared for a moment, it was enough for Dao Ancestor Hongjun to verify some things!

He slowly began to speak: "After the war between the Dao and the Demon, Yang Mei disappeared until he attained the Primordial Dao and reappeared in the Primordial True Realm to spar with me! I originally thought that he had left the Primordial True Realm at that time, but now it seems that he has hidden himself in the Ruins of Return!"

Just now, he reversed the flow of time and returned to the point in time after the war between the Dao and the Demons, only to find that Great Immortal Yang Mei had gone deep into the Ruins of Return.

Some things are extremely difficult to deduce, but if you know the answer first and then reverse the process, it becomes infinitely simple.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun suddenly looked at Xuan Yin: "How did you suddenly enter the Ruins of Return?"

Xuan Yin dared not conceal anything and immediately revealed his deduction that the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd had fallen into the Ruins of Return and his preparation to delve into the Ruins of Return to search for it.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded: "It seems you intend to use those seven innate gourds to respectively contain the three corpses of good and evil in the immortal path, and the manifestation body, reward body, and dharma body in the Buddhist path, and then use one innate gourd as a treasure for merging the other six innate gourds to attain enlightenment!"

As the Dao Ancestor, Hongjun's insight was undoubtedly extremely sharp. With just a few words, he knew Xuan Yin's plans for his own path of cultivation.

He then asked, "Have you considered which gourd you would choose as the treasure for proving your Dao?"

"The Chaos Gourd!"

Xuan Yin responded without hesitation, "The Dao of Chaos encompasses everything and is most suitable for compatibility with the Great Dao Laws contained in the other innate gourds. It also coincides with the Dao of Law that my grand-disciple mainly cultivates!"

"good!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded: "Take out that Chaos Gourd, and I will refine it for you!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin was overjoyed and immediately complied, taking out the Chaos Gourd.

With a thought, Dao Ancestor Hongjun sent out the Qiankun Cauldron, and then another chaotic primordial energy fell into the cauldron under his control.

This primordial chaos is the embryonic form of a vast universe, born from chaos itself, and is an extremely rare entity possessing chaotic attributes.

"Refine!"

With a soft shout, Dao Ancestor Hongjun caused the primordial chaos to slowly merge with the origin of the Chaos Gourd under the influence of the Qiankun Cauldron and the Taiwu Immortal Fire.

The Chaos Gourd was unrefined. When it was in the hands of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, it only contained chaotic energy. After it fell into Xuan Yin's hands, Xuan Yin focused on cultivation and did not bother to refining this innate gourd.

At this moment, after merging with the primordial chaos, this innate spiritual treasure began to transform. Originally, it had forty-five innate restrictions, but now, three more innate restrictions appeared out of thin air.

Forty-eight innate restrictions represent the pinnacle of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. In the Primordial True Realm, there are very few innate spiritual treasures that can rival it.

However, with the Qiankun Cauldron seizing the heavens and earth's creation, and with Dao Ancestor Hongjun taking action, upgrading the Chaos Gourd's grade was not a difficult task.

A moment later, Dao Ancestor Hongjun put away the Qiankun Cauldron and handed the Chaos Gourd back to Xuan Yin: "There are still some differences between the Dao-proving treasures and other innate spiritual treasures! The seven innate gourds are all from the same source and were originally top-grade innate spiritual treasures with forty-five restrictions, so there's not much of a difference. But if you want to use the Chaos Gourd to melt down the other six innate gourds, then you'll need to upgrade the grade of the Chaos Gourd!"

Xuan Yin nodded in agreement.

With seven innate gourds of the same grade, deciding which one to use as the main one is one question. Once the main and secondary ones are determined, how to use one of the innate gourds to smelt the other six innate gourds is another big question!

Even if the grades are the same, there will naturally be some obstacles when trying to smelt other gourds.

However, if one of the gourds is of a slightly higher grade, using it as a treasure for proving one's Dao will make the process of merging with it a little easier.

After doing all this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun continued, "Within the Ruins of Return, the power of the Heavenly Dao cannot reach, which is indeed a major problem! However, since I am now one with the Heavenly Dao, it is not appropriate for me to leave without authorization!"

Before he finished speaking, a broken jade disc flew out from the auspicious cloud above the Dao Ancestor's head, revealing its aura as a chaotic spiritual treasure.

"The Jade Disc of Creation!"

Xuan Yin was shocked. In the time and space where he was buried by the Dao Ancestor, he had seen the Jade Disc of Creation, but at that time, because the Dao Ancestor's three corpses had not yet been united, the Jade Disc of Creation was far less complete than it is now.

Although the Creation Jade Disc is still missing a piece, its power is several times greater than that of the few innate treasures in the primordial world.

"This is the treasure that has enabled me to attain enlightenment!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun chuckled and said, "My Dao body resides within it. You shall take my Dao-proving treasure and make a journey to the Void!"

"Thank you, Grandmaster!"

Xuan Yin agreed without hesitation. With Hongjun's Dao body taking action, the demons and monsters in Guixu could be easily suppressed.

Even if he encountered the Great Immortal Yangmei himself, or some chaotic demon god, Xuan Yin would not be afraid, and would even dare to make a few jokes at them.

Taiqing Laozi's One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones Divine Power can evolve into the power of three saints, so the Dao Ancestor's Dao Body will only become more powerful.

But what pleased Xuan Yin the most was that he could take the opportunity to use public resources for private purposes!

What is the Jade Disc of Creation?

This was once a supreme treasure of chaos, a companion of Pangu, recording the profound mysteries of the three thousand Great Daos. Now, as the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's treasure for proving his Dao, even though it is incomplete, it is still one of the best among the spiritual treasures of chaos.

Hongjun was able to create the Immortal Path and perfect the Heavenly Dao, and this incomplete treasure played a crucial role in that.

Furthermore, it is now a precious treasure of the immortal path, suppressing the endless fortune of the immortal path.

Xuan Yin dared not ask for more, only hoping that during his time in charge, he could use this treasure to comprehend some of the great Dao that could perfect the Feng Yuan Dao Fruit.

"Xunfeng Avenue, Bifeng Avenue, Lifeng Avenue, Yanfeng Avenue, Tiaofeng Avenue, Jingfeng Avenue, and also Hanfeng, Liangfeng, Zhefeng..."

In just a short while, Xuan Yin locked onto more than forty Great Daos on the Creation Jade Disc that were suitable for integrating into his own Wind Origin Dao Fruit.

Without hesitation, he bowed to the Dao Ancestor and left Zixiao Palace, carrying the Creation Jade Disc to Guixu as instructed by the Dao Ancestor.

"Understanding the Tao!"

After leaving Zixiao Palace, Xuan Yin traveled while using his Daoist powers to comprehend many great Daos and to perfect his Fengyuan Dao Fruit.

The Dao body of Hongjun, residing within the Jade Disc of Creation, did not urge him on.

Clearly, since Xuan Yin has demonstrated his value, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would naturally not mind letting Xuan Yin gain some benefits from the Creation Jade Disc.

"A difference of just one corner equals a difference of sixty major roads. But I wonder which sixty major roads they are?"

Xuan Yin knew that the Jade Disc of Creation was incomplete, probably because it was said that of the fifty Great Daos, one was missing. Since Dao Ancestor Hongjun had not completely completed it, it meant that the remaining fragment was not in the primordial world.

Or rather, it should be in a place where the power of the Heavenly Dao cannot reach!

Xuan Yin did not hesitate.

These things are too far removed from him, and the causal relationships they contain are too heavy. Even if he wants to explore them, he must wait until he has enough strength before he can do so.

All he wants now is to fleece the Dao Ancestor!
