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

Chapter 281 [Severing the Two Corpses, Water and Fire United] (Please Subscribe)

Upon hearing Xuan Yin's words, Nuwa did not hesitate for a moment. She immediately summoned the Mountain and River Map and numerous innate spiritual treasures to firmly protect the Altar of Ten Thousand Spirits: "My relationship with Junior Sister Yaochi is extremely good, so naturally I cannot tolerate certain saints relying on their strength to forcibly seize Junior Sister Yaochi's spiritual treasures! Fellow Daoists Taiqing, Yuanshi, and Zhunti, do you perhaps think that because your teacher is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, she can do whatever she wants?"

The Celestial Lord of the Primordial Beginning had an extremely unpleasant expression. He really didn't know how to respond to the accusations that Xuan Yin and Nuwa had put on them!

Xuan Yin, in particular, has a history of going to Zixiao Palace to complain to the Dao Ancestor.

Taiqing Laozi remained unmoved and spoke calmly, "But I recall that it was Fellow Daoist Nuwa who made the first move, wasn't it?"

"Yeah?"

Nuwa smiled slightly: "I was just worried that Fellow Daoist Zhunti might say he's destined for this treasure, seeing how eager he is to try it out!"

Zhunti's face immediately turned ashen, as if he had swallowed a fly. He wanted to say that he was the last of the four saints to make a move—but seeing the tense atmosphere, he couldn't bring himself to say it!

Moreover, among the four, he is the weakest. If he doesn't take the blame, who will?

Therefore, seeing Taiqing, Nuwa, and the others looking at him, he immediately said, "This Altar of Ten Thousand Spirits is a magical treasure bestowed upon Yaochi by the Dao Ancestor. How could it be connected to my Western Paradise? I was merely seeing the Xuanzang King Bodhisattva, the Peacock King Bodhisattva, and the Marici Bodhisattva gathered here, and I wanted to go and greet them!"

This reason is full of loopholes. Among the people present, only Xuan Yin has severed his physical body; the other two have not yet come into contact with Buddhist or Taoist cultivation methods.

Saying they are Peacock King Bodhisattva or Marici Bodhisattva is too far-fetched!

At this moment, all the saints tacitly accepted this statement; otherwise, they would have been accused by Xuan Yin and Nuwa of disrespecting the Dao Ancestor.

When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one. This principle is one that even the most sages would not be unaware of.

"Really?"

Listening to Zhunti Daoist's serious nonsense, Xuan Yin couldn't help but frown. This saint's bottom line wasn't much higher than his.

"Of course it's true!"

The Daoist Zhunti forced a smile: "Young friends Xuan Yin, Kong Xuan, and Jin Ling are all destined to be with the Buddha! If you have the time, you could go to Mount Sumeru and experience the profound mysteries of Buddhism and Taoism!"

Upon hearing this, Nuwa revealed a hint of sarcasm: "So it was a misunderstanding. Then why hasn't Fellow Daoist Zhunti returned to Mount Sumeru?"

The dough of the Daoist Zhunti is already comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, so how could he choose to retreat to Mount Sumeru just because of Nuwa's two sarcastic remarks?

He immediately said, "This humble monk has some business to attend to and needs to go to the Heavenly Court. How about this humble monk returns this magical treasure to the Jade Pool?"

"This will save young friend Xuan Yin from having to make another trip!"

"Of course, if Fellow Daoist Nuwa is still worried, she can also go to the Heavenly Court with this humble monk. Fellow Daoist Taiqing and Yuanshi Tianzun can do the same!"

It must be said that Zhunti Daoren spoke with great skill. Although the reason he gave was not very good, it was approved by Taiqing Laozi.

"good!"

"Then we shall escort this magical treasure to the Heavenly Court and hand it over to Yaochi!"

As for Yuanshi Tianzun, he naturally wouldn't have any objections. Although he didn't value humanity much, he wouldn't refuse if he had the opportunity to intervene in humanity and gain some benefits.

And so, the four sages stared at each other, and in this strange atmosphere, they took the Altar of Ten Thousand Spirits and fled towards the Heavenly Court.

Meanwhile, the numerous Great Luo and Quasi-Saints gathered in the ancestral land of humanity remained oblivious to the actions of the saints, keeping their eyes and noses closed.

Only after the sages had disappeared did Kong Xuan let out a cold snort: "What kind of spiritual treasure is this, that it could actually be escorted by four sages? It's truly laughable! I've never seen such a clumsy excuse before!"

Unfortunately, none of the great Luo and quasi-saints present dared to respond to him.

Mocking a saint? Are you out of your mind?

Zhao Gongming then looked at the group who had received the golden fragments and asked, "What humanitarian authority did you just obtain?"

The golden fragments he had just obtained contained the Nine-Headed Clan's insights into the Great Dao of Trading, as well as some of his thoughts on the measurement of degree.

If these elements are incorporated into his business strategy, it might help him achieve even greater success!

Therefore, he also became curious about the humanitarian authority that Kong Xuan and others had obtained.

After some contemplation, Kong Xuan said, "What I obtained is related to the Five Virtues, containing the mysteries of both the innate and acquired Five Virtues! If I can integrate them with the Five-Colored Divine Light, it will surely enhance their power!"

Golden Spirit Mother frowned and said, "I did not obtain any authority, but the golden fragments contain insights into the Great Dao of Taiwei! However, I have never heard of the Great Dao of Taiwei before, but the place where I took human form is the Taiwei Enclosure in the Primordial Starry Sky!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin's eyes lit up. The Great Dao of Taiwei represents the evolution of civilization into a more refined state. It is the fourth stage of the evolution of the Five Taiwei in the postnatal world, which is similar to the pre-rotation of the stars in the celestial sphere. It is reasonable that the Golden Spirit Mother chose to take form in the Taiwei Enclosure.

As for Fuxi, the first emperor of the human race in the original Heavenly Dao, symbolizing the dawn of civilization, he most likely gained insights into the Great Dao of Taihao.

As a result, in the endless river of time and space, a persona called Taihao evolved!

"What about Taikang, Taiyuan, and Taixu?"

Xuan Yin only obtained the core concepts of humanity, but the Nine-Headed Clan did not choose to let him inherit those insights about the Five Elements of the Acquired.

Clearly, he hoped that Xuan Yin would step out of his framework and not be bound by his ideas.

Of course, it is also possible that Xuan Yin hopes to unite with other beings who have gained insights into humanity, and then together they can pioneer a completely new path of humanity!

Thinking of this, Xuan Yin immediately took the initiative to send a telepathic message to inquire about Suirenshi and Tianwu.

Unfortunately, none of them had attained the enlightenment of the Five Elements after birth.

Xuan Yin was not discouraged.

Since the Five Elements of the Acquired Realm represent the evolutionary process of civilization, as long as the human race continues to develop, he will naturally gain insights into the Five Elements of the Acquired Realm from them.

However, Yaochi in the Heavenly Court was getting restless. Four saints were fighting over a spiritual treasure—as a quasi-saint with three corpses, she naturally couldn't be unaware of it!

"What a rip-off!"

She never expected that Xuan Yin would actually use the Altar of Ten Thousand Spirits to successfully communicate with humanity, and even attract the saints to compete for the Altar of Ten Thousand Spirits.

Although Xuan Yin invoked the name of the Dao Ancestor and intimidated several saints, it was she who drew their attention to Xuan Yin!

after all----

The Dao Ancestor bestowed the Altar of Ten Thousand Spirits upon her, and this Altar of Ten Thousand Spirits is her spiritual treasure!

No matter which saint has designs on the Altar of All Souls, they cannot bypass its existence.

Therefore, the saints, ostensibly escorting the Altar of Ten Thousand Spirits back to the Heavenly Court, actually wanted to temporarily borrow the Altar of Ten Thousand Spirits from her!

"No matter which saint you lend it to, you might offend one of them!"

Yaochi sighed and muttered to herself, "But this is also an opportunity—an opportunity to gain the support of a certain sage!"

Below the saints are all ants. Yaochi understands this principle very well. Therefore, before becoming a saint, she would never think of being on equal footing with the saints, let alone believe that the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit could make the saints wary!

What the saints feared was never the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit, but the Dao Ancestor behind them!

Haotian failed to see this point clearly, thinking that with the Investiture of the Gods and the 365 Great Luo Immortals who could set up the Zhou Tian Star Array, he could be on par with the Sages, which is why he fell into Yuanshi's trap.

Yaochi will certainly not repeat the same mistake.

After understanding the essence of humanity, Xuan Yin no longer focused on humanity. Building humanity from scratch is not something that can be done in a short time. Without sufficient accumulation, it would be a pipe dream for him to evolve a new humanity with his current strength.

Of the five innate primordial ...

He was not qualified to evolve a new humanity before he had enough insight.

Therefore, he set his sights on the matter of going back to the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth and proving the existence of the wind spirit at the beginning of creation.

However, to defy the Heavenly Wind Spirit, he needs to defeat the imprints of many Wind Dao cultivators. Before that, he must improve his own strength.

"Slay the corpse!"

In the few eons after he severed his evil corpse, he did not remain idle. With the help of the ancestral god's way, he had accumulated enough insights to sever his good corpse.

However, he did not rush to sever the corpse. Instead, he used the vast fortune gathered by the Ancestral God's Path to exchange for the Fire Element Dao Fruit from the Heavenly Dao.

As the human race prospered, the fortune gathered through the ancestral god's path became increasingly abundant, more than enough to exchange for the remaining 40% of the fire element authority.

Just as Xuan Yin had fully grasped the power of the Fire Element, a phoenix cry resounded through the void from the Undying Volcano.

Thanks to the merits and good fortune, Yuan Feng's shackles from the Heavenly Dao have been loosened considerably, and she has at least been able to get rid of that half-dead state!

After comprehending the complete Fire Element Dao Fruit, Xuan Yin did not hesitate and directly took out Hong Yun's Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd to sever the corpse.

Hongyun is a well-known good-natured person in the Primordial Realm, always benevolent to others. When he wielded the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, it also accumulated a lot of merit, making it the perfect vessel for a benevolent corpse.

"cut!"

With a soft shout from Xuan Yin, endless good intentions fell into the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, and a kind-faced figure immediately appeared from the void.

The benevolent corpse has been successfully severed!

But this was not the end. With a thought, Xuan Yin merged the Fire Element Dao Fruit with the Good Corpse.

Immediately afterwards, he activated his improved method of severing corpses, first using the Law to bind the good corpse that had just been severed, and then offering up the Holy Law Gourd in an attempt to return the good corpse to its original form.

"Refine!"

Although both are top-grade innate spiritual treasures, the Sacred Law Gourd, having been reforged by Dao Ancestor Hongjun and gathering the essence of two innate gourds, is of a higher grade than the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd.

Therefore, under Xuan Yin's manipulation, the Sacred Law Gourd easily suppressed the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd and began to absorb the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd's essence.

After an unknown period of time, Xuan Yin's good intentions returned, and the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd that contained the good corpse was completely transformed into a part of the Sacred Law Gourd.

Many of the Great Daos within the Fire Element Dao Fruit were subsequently integrated into the Law Dao Dao Fruit.

Boom!

Under the harmonization of the Law Dao, many rules related to fire element were integrated into the Law Dao Fruit, and Xuan Yin directly broke through to the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

In addition, the Dao Fruit of the Law also includes the imagery of water and fire working together.

This is also the manifestation of the Dao Fruit of Law, perfectly harmonizing the Dao Fruit of Water Element and the Dao Fruit of Fire Element.
