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

"How is that possible?"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable revealed an incredulous expression. The actions of the Tongtian Sect Master were too fast; he had not seen how the two proofs were completed at all. He only saw the Tongtian Sect Master shout loudly, and his original saintly body began to transform into a demon god's body, with the Great Dao of the Sword becoming one of the roots of the chaotic universe!

The late-arriving Jieyin, Zhunti, Nuwa, and Houtu also found it unbelievable.

Especially Nuwa, a saint who had already achieved two levels of enlightenment, had experienced the obstruction of the path by various saints, and she was very clear that achieving two levels of enlightenment could not be accomplished overnight!

But when they arrived, before they could even decide which side to help, the Tongtian Sect Leader transformed into the Sword Demon God in the blink of an eye.

Nuwa felt extremely unbalanced. Both were two certificates, so why was there such a big difference?

Logically speaking, it should have been more difficult for the Tongtian Sect Leader to elevate the sword path to the level of the Primordial Dao and then imprint it deep into the origin of the Chaotic Universe with absolute power than for her to attain the Dao Fruit of the Earthly Dao Saint.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable's face turned ashen. All along, he had been able to suppress the Tongtian Sect Master in the present world because his Dao Fruit was at the end of the tribulation.

But now, he has imprinted the Dao of Sword deep within the origin of the chaotic universe, becoming the Sword Demon God. This is equivalent to having a Dao Fruit even before the creation of the world, and he can even compete with him in the era of creation.

In this way, his advantages in the mortal world will become smaller and smaller, to the point that even if the Tongtian Sect Leader does not use the Zhuxian Sword Formation, but only uses the Qingping Sword in his hand, he can still overwhelm him on the Great Dao.

He naturally found it hard to accept!

Facing the saints, the Tongtian Sect Leader had no intention of greeting them. At this moment, he was earnestly experiencing the feeling of attaining the Hunyuan Daluo realm through the Dao of Sword.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianwang had no intention of taking further action against Tongtian Jiaozhu!

The Tongtian Sect Leader has already obtained the Dao Fruit of the Primordial Golden Immortal twice. Even if he goes all out, he cannot change the fact that the Tongtian Sect Leader has successfully obtained it twice!

If one insists on taking action and is still suppressed by the Tongtian Sect Leader, then one will only bring shame upon oneself!

"snort!"

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly and disappeared at the beginning of creation, while Yuanshi Tianwang returned to the Fuli Yuanshi Treasure Pearl as his original body left.

If he had gone all out from the beginning, and even used the power of the Dao Fruit symbolizing the Supreme God of Wonder within the Primordial Pearl of Floating Dawn to deal with Tongtian, he might have been able to prevent him from attaining the Dao Fruit of Primordial Chaos for the second time!

Of course, this was just wishful thinking on his part. As both were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, Yuanshi Tianzun did not think he would lose to Tongtian Jiaozhu!

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Tongtian!"

Nuwa, Houtu, Jieyin, and Zhunti offered their congratulations to the Tongtian Sect Leader.

However, the Tongtian Sect Leader did not want to say more, and the four of them did not stay in the time and space at the beginning of creation.

"Qingping!"

With a thought, the Great Dao of Swords, imprinted deep within the origin of the chaotic universe, began to resonate with the origin of the Qingping Sword in his hand.

In the past, the Twenty-Four-Petal Creation Green Lotus was born on Mount Buzhou, and then collapsed under the power of the Heavenly Dao, and then split into three top-grade innate spiritual treasures: the Panlong Flat Staff in the hands of Taiqing Laozi, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun, and the Qingping Sword in the hands of Tongtian Jiaozhu!

However, the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Green Lotus originated from the Chaos Treasure, the Chaos Green Lotus, and is the only mature lotus seed among the Chaos Green Lotus seeds.

If the Tongtian Sect Leader wanted to further enhance the power of the Qingping Sword, then absorbing a primordial spiritual treasure containing the essence of the Chaos Green Lotus would undoubtedly be the most suitable option.

However, those innate spiritual treasures are basically owned by someone else, and the Tongtian Sect Master would not do something like forcibly seizing someone else's innate spiritual treasure.

But he had other ideas!

After the Chaos Green Lotus shattered, not all of its essence transformed into innate spiritual treasures; a portion of its essence dissipated into the chaos.

For example, those lotus petals!

At this moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader was using the Great Dao of the Sword and the Qingping Sword in his hand to attract the scattered Chaos Green Lotus Origin.

Guided by the Great Dao of the Sword, the primordial power dissipated from the Chaotic Azure Lotus rapidly merged into the Azure Lotus Sword, like swallows returning to their nests.

After an unknown amount of time, the forty-ninth restriction suddenly appeared on the Qingping Sword—it was the mark of the Tongtian Sect Master's Great Dao of Swords!

Furthermore, the merits of the Great Dao manifested from the void and merged into the transformed Qingping Sword!

The most precious treasure of innate merit!

After the Tongtian Sect Leader imprinted the Great Dao of the Sword deep within the origin of the Chaos Universe, a Primordial Great Dao instantly appeared in the Chaos Universe.

This is undoubtedly a commendable thing for the will of the Great Dao, and it is only natural for it to bestow merits upon it!

Seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Where the Dao's sound arises, the primordial chaos shatters; a single sword cuts through eternity of time and space. The Four Swords of Zhuxian sever cause and effect; cutting through heaven to obtain the Dao, I embrace all without discrimination. The origin of chaos inscribes the traces of the Dao; defying the tides of time, I ascend the stage. The golden turtle breathes in the energy of heaven and earth; the Qingping Sword emerges, lamenting the Great Dao!"

At this moment, Tongtian was showing his full sharpness. Even if Pangu were right in front of him, he would dare to swing his sword and strike directly. It was a kind of joy that the Great Dao was being proven!

Nothing can compare!

"What a powerful connection!"

In the Eight Views Palace, although Taiqing Laozi was busy repairing his Dao Fruit and did not go to the beginning of creation, he still felt that supreme sword intent.

He never expected that among the Three Pure Ones, the Tongtian Sect Master would be the first to attain the second level of the Hunyuan Daluo Dao Fruit.

"The way of the acquired may also be a path!"

Although he pursued the simultaneous verification of the past, present, and future, he also paid attention to humanity and the acquired Dao. The fact that the Tongtian Sect Leader transformed the sword Dao into the Primordial Dao and imprinted it deep within the origin of the chaotic universe undoubtedly verified that the acquired Dao has endless potential and is capable of transforming into the Primordial Dao!

In fact, he never neglected the Dao of Acquired Inheritance. His mastery of alchemy was undoubtedly the highest among all the saints and beings in the primordial world.

Even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun wouldn't dare say he could surpass him in the Dao of Alchemy.

If his alchemy skills could be further improved, it wouldn't be impossible for him to emulate the Tongtian Sect Master's approach and imprint alchemy skills deep within the origin of the chaotic universe.

Thinking of this, he immediately began to deduce: "What would happen if I used alchemy to reshape the Supreme Dao Fruit, which is currently suffering backlash?"

The human body is a microcosm of the universe, and the universe is a macrocosm of the human body. The Golden Elixir Dao he created is to use himself as a great elixir to be tempered by the dragon and tiger.

It is theoretically feasible to treat problematic Dao fruits as elixirs and refine them again.

True gold fears no fire!

Taiqing Laozi suddenly laughed and said, "Without destruction, there can be no construction; destruction precedes construction. Perhaps this is the opportunity for me to restore the Supreme Dao Fruit! Perhaps, even using the Great Dao as fuel, I can elevate the Supreme Dao Fruit to a higher level!"

"However, ordinary things simply cannot be used as fuel for refining one's Dao Fruit!"

His gaze involuntarily fell upon the new Dao of humanity evolved by Fuxi: "Only the Dao of all living beings can transform the Supreme Dao Fruit into the Great Elixir!"

It must be said that Taiqing truly lived up to his name; even before the creation of the world, he deduced another path from the Great Dao of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

In the primordial chaos, Xuan Yin also sensed the aura emanating from the beginning of creation: "Teacher, you actually completed the second attainment of the Primordial Great Luo Dao Fruit without a sound? And you can even compress the time required for attaining the Dao like this?"

Xuan Yin found it hard to believe, but he was also greatly inspired by it.

The path to enlightenment is not something that can be accomplished overnight. If we follow the methods of the Tongtian Sect Master, we might be able to prevent other saints from stopping us!

As a projection of the Primordial Realm, the Shadow Primordial Realm appears to be clearly distinct from the Primordial Realm, but in reality, it is separated by a thin membrane of the evolution of the Heavenly Dao.

If one were to complete the necessary preparations for attaining enlightenment in the Shadow Primordial World, like the Tongtian Sect Master did, and then reverse cause and effect between the original body and the shadow, then the time required to attain enlightenment could be compressed to a mere moment.

The reason why the saints could not stop the Tongtian Sect Master from attaining enlightenment was because he had completed most of the preparations in the Shadow Primordial World!

Just then, Xuan Yin suddenly received a summons from Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Before long, Xuan Yin arrived at the Zixiao Palace in Ying Honghuang, but the person who appeared in front of him was not the shadow Hongjun he had imagined.

It was the true Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

Dao Ancestor Hongjun slowly spoke, "I must say, you, Tongtian, and those disciples of the Jie Sect have impressed me greatly!"

"The rules you inscribed have indeed ensured that, in the near future, there will be no cause for a major war or a great calamity to erupt in the Shadow Primordial World!"

"but----"

"The Shadow Primordial World is, after all, not the True Primordial World. You can suppress the saints of the Shadow Primordial World, but you cannot suppress the saints of the True Primordial World!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin fell silent, for he was well aware of his own limitations.

To accomplish the task of changing the course of history, it is necessary to first suppress the dissenting voices, and the sages of the Primordial Realm are undoubtedly the first to bear the brunt.

If he were to actually do this in the Primordial Realm, not only would Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun oppose him, but Nuwa and Houtu would also stand against him.

However, if a portion of the benefits were to be divided, it wouldn't be impossible to win over one or two sages.

For example, the control over the Five Virtues!

Each of these sages has their own path: Laozi's "Way of Non-Action," Yuanshi Tianzun's "Substituting One's Mind for Heaven's Mind," Tongtian Jiaozhu's "Education for All," Nuwa's "Survival of the Fittest," and Jieyin Daoren's "Everyone Has Buddha-nature"—in reality, they are all vying for the right to interpret the Way of Heaven!

Xuan Yin used laws and principles to alter the natural order, essentially vying for the right to interpret the laws of Heaven.

To make the Primordial True World develop in the direction he desires, he must surpass the other saints; otherwise, no matter how much he talks, it will all be empty words!

Thinking of this, Xuan Yin immediately looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun before him: "Grandmaster, you should be able to easily suppress all the saints, right? You have also seen the benefits of my system to the Primordial True Realm, so why don't you personally step forward to establish a new Heavenly Order?"

If Dao Ancestor Hongjun were willing to support him, changing the course of history would be a matter of a single thought.

"This humble Taoist priest will not take sides!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke calmly, "This humble Daoist was merely curious about your thoughts, which is why I summoned you to Zixiao Palace to inquire about them!"

"While your idea has some merit, it's impossible to determine its impact on the future of the Primordial True Realm in such a short time!"

"and----"

"You've overlooked some external factors!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin immediately looked puzzled: "What external factors?"

"Of course it's Yang Mei!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun sighed softly: "In the Shadow Primordial World, there is no Yang Mei, no Chaos Demon God, but they do exist in the True Primordial World!"

"Without external enemies, your methods might be able to guarantee the stability of the primordial world!"

"But if an external enemy appears, those beings bound by rules might very well side with Yang Mei for their own benefit!"

"after all----"

"As a Chaos Demon God, Yang Mei will not use rules to bind all living beings!"

Xuan Yin immediately fell silent.

What Dao Ancestor Hongjun said is indeed a big problem. Although the Shadow Primordial World can be considered a primordial world, it is still different from the True Primordial World!

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. Some questions can only be answered correctly by considering the circumstances of the Primordial Realm!
