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

"The karma of the entire dragon race?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin's lips twitched involuntarily: "Senior Zu Long, you really think highly of me!"

Although he had previously provided the Dragon Clan with a lot of merit and fortune through the Water Element Dao Fruit, he had only managed to eliminate 30% of the Dragon Clan's karma at most.

The remaining 70% will require an unknown amount of merit and good fortune to fill the dragon clan's hole!

Among the dragons, there are not many powerful beings who are still active today, only Yinglong, Zhulong and a few others, while many others are sleeping in the dragon tombs.

This dragon tomb is also located within the Ruins of Return. It was thanks to the protection of the Ruins of Return that the karmic force descended by Heaven did not cause all the ancient dragons to perish.

However, once they appear in the Primordial True Realm, they will inevitably be rejected by the Heavenly Dao. The karmic force of the Heavenly Dao will reduce their strength to one-tenth, and even worse, the power of the Heavenly Dao will force them to directly transform into the Dao!

Otherwise, given the Dragon Clan's rich heritage, even after the Three Races War, how could only Yinglong and Zhulong, these two ancient beings, be active outside?

There's no other reason than this!

In the age of gods, Yinglong was the god in charge of wind and rain, and Zhulong was the god in charge of time. Both of them had accumulated a lot of merit and fortune, so the karma created by the dragon race had little impact on them!

However, other dragons, such as the Crimson Dragon, did not have the same abundant fortune as the two of them!

After being rejected by the Heavenly Dao, they could only hide in the Ruins of Return and eke out a living, hoping that in the future, a descendant could fill the hole in the Dragon Clan's fortune.

"I have never underestimated you, fellow Daoist!"

Upon hearing this, Zu Long laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist was able to exchange merit and fortune for the Earthly Dao Fruit and Waterly Dao Fruit from the Primordial Qilin and the Primordial Phoenix, which shows how prosperous your fortune is. If you had given me this fortune earlier, my Dragon Clan might have already escaped the tribulation!"

Of course, besides the fortune he received from Xuan Yin, Zu Long was also busy. The opening of the Dragon God Path also helped him eliminate a lot of the dragon race's karma.

About 10%!

Xuan Yin also began to ponder. He had previously sacrificed about 40% of his demonic fortune, and still had about 60% of it left.

If all of them were sacrificed, who knows if it would be enough to fill the hole left by the dragons?

But he can't do that now!

If he were to sacrifice everything, he would have no demonic luck left. How would he inherit the Heavenly Dao Saint Fruit from Luo in the future?

In the Primordial Realm, there are quite a few who covet the fortune of the demonic path. Not to mention, the evil corpse of the Primordial Sage on Kunlun Mountain is the infamous Primordial Heavenly Demon, who occupies a large territory in the demon realm.

Not long ago, he even went so far as to use Gouchen's companion spirit treasure to exchange for a portion of the Lesser Vehicle Demonic Path's fortune from the Styx Daoist.

If he were to sacrifice all his demonic fortune now, he could certainly obtain the identity of the Creation Water Spirit, but the Primordial Heavenly Demon would definitely seize more of his demonic fortune, and might even make him the origin of the demonic path.

This is something he cannot accept.

Even if a sacrifice is required, we must first let him obtain Rahu's Dao Fruit.

Thinking of this, he decided to make a deal with Zu Long: after he attained enlightenment, he would use the power of the demonic path to fill the gap in the dragon race's fortune.

But now, the Ancestral Dragon must give him the identity of the Heavenly Water Spirit in advance!

"good!"

Zu Long readily agreed.

"However, fellow Daoist, you have already attained the Heaven-Opening Wind Spirit. If you don't attain the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit, I'm afraid it will be difficult to balance the power of the Fire Element Dao Fruit!"

"Furthermore, if you also possess the feng shui acumen, you will inevitably attract the attention of other sages!"

"At that time, the path to enlightenment may attract the schemes of sages, and unexpected twists and turns may arise!"

"Therefore, I suggest that you, fellow Daoist, temporarily allow your dragon avatar to assume the identity of the Creation Water Spirit, and then merge it with your true self at the appropriate time!"

As an ancient great being, Zulong had witnessed countless battles for the Great Dao. He knew very well that the most terrifying thing when proving one's Dao was not the Heavenly Tribulation, but the Human Tribulation, and those beings who did not want to see you advance any further!

While Luo's instigation behind the three-race war certainly played a role, it was also true that the First Qilin and the Yuanfeng did not want the Ancestral Dragon to be at the forefront!

Human desires are perilous, the Daoist heart is subtle. Only by being refined and single-minded can one fully grasp the mean. But in the vast universe, how many people can truly abandon their selfish desires?

Therefore, Zulong preferred the exchange of benefits to genuine sincerity.

"That's what I think too!"

Xuan Yin humbly accepted Zu Long's suggestion. Subsequently, the two made a vow to each other on the Great Dao. Zu Long gave him the identity of the Water Spirit of Creation, while Xuan Yin would sacrifice the remaining fortune of the Demonic Path after he attained the Dao.

Seeing Zulong's unwavering demeanor, Xuan Yin couldn't help but laugh and say, "Senior Zulong, are you so certain that this humble Daoist can attain the Hunyuan Daluo realm?"

Upon hearing this, Zu Long immediately replied, "At least, your chances are greater than mine! With your authentic Xuanhuang Ancestral Root and the identity of a second-generation Rahu, in the current prehistoric world, truly no one has a better chance than you!"

"Even if you add Donghuang Taiyi, Fuxi, and the Styx Daoist, it's the same!"

With Donghuang Taiyi and Fuxi sacrificing themselves to attain enlightenment, their chances of achieving enlightenment in the future are only fifty-fifty, assuming no one obstructs them.

Although Daoist Styx had a higher cultivation level than Xuan Yin and possessed genuine Xuanhuang ancestral roots, he would inevitably encounter obstacles from other saints.

In this era, the addition of Houtu has already affected some of the interests of the saints.

How could they allow another Daoist from the Styx River to join them in governing the prehistoric world?

Despite Styx's current unparalleled prowess, having achieved the status of a Quasi-Saint, created the Netherworld Clan, and even seized control of Gouchen's concept with the help of Gouchen's companion spirit treasure, he has also aroused the apprehension of the Saints.

"That's true!"

Xuan Yin listened to Zu Long's analysis and immediately nodded: "However, my teacher and the Goddess Nuwa promised to protect the Styx River, and with the support of the Goddess Houtu, the Styx River is not without a chance!"

"If he were to attain enlightenment during the Investiture of the Gods war, when the four sages jointly broke the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, truly no one could stop him from achieving the Dao Fruit of the Earthly Dao Saint!"

Upon hearing this, Zu Long scoffed, "Do you think that what you can think of, Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun wouldn't have thought of?"

"Should we take a gamble? I suspect that before the Investiture of the Gods, the Sages will take action against the Styx River, preventing him from causing any unforeseen changes to the Investiture of the Gods!"

Xuan Yin shook his head: "Since I know I will lose, why should I gamble with you, senior?"

He was not a saint, but he understood human nature and naturally knew that what the First Emperor said was right.

Since Yuanshi Tianzun intended to use the matter of Shennong to take action against the demon race, the witch religion, the Heavenly Court, and even Taiyi, who had become the origin of the divine path, it is not difficult to understand why he would take action against the Styx River!

In this era, there are more variables than ever before. If the Chan Sect wants to win the Investiture of the Gods, the Primordial Heavenly Lord must eliminate the variables as much as possible and increase the strength of the Chan Sect at any cost!

Seeing a single falling leaf tells us that the year is drawing to a close; seeing ice in a bottle tells us that the world is cold. By judging the distant from the near, it is not surprising that the Primordial Celestial Venerable attacked the Styx River.

It's even possible that they might suppress Houtu, who had already achieved the status of a true saint, in advance!

Those who do not plan for the whole cannot plan for a part; those who do not plan for eternity cannot plan for the present. Although the calamity between heaven and earth has not yet shown any signs of a great calamity, the Primordial Celestial Venerable is already planning the next great calamity!

Compared to him, both the Tongtian Sect Leader and Xuan Yin were somewhat slow to react.

but----

It's not like we were completely unprepared!

Ever since Di Jun revealed the matter of the cycle of reincarnation and the future trend of the Heavenly Dao, the disciples of the Jie Sect have been trying to improve their strength!

In particular, several of the direct disciples of the Jie Sect have benefited greatly from the Shadow Primordial World, and they will surely be able to give the disciples of the Chan Sect a pleasant surprise during the Investiture of the Gods.

A thought flashed through Xuan Yin's mind: "Perhaps we should hold back, let the Chan Sect and Yuanshi Tianzun have the upper hand on the surface, and then deliver a major blow during the Investiture of the Gods!"

If Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to win over Shennong, Xuanyuan, and even the remaining five emperors, let him do it, but he could do some dirty work behind the scenes.

Whether he wants to weaken the demon race or the witch religion, let him weaken them—of course, only in his and the Chan religion's own perception of weakening!

for example----

He wanted to eliminate the threat posed by the Styx Taoist before the Great Tribulation of the Gods, so let him eliminate it, and then let the Styx Taoist rise from the dead at the crucial moment!

However, Yuanshi Tianzun, who controls the causes of all results and understands almost all causes and effects in the primordial world, cannot be fooled by ordinary means.

"Shadow of the Primordial Era?"

If the Styx River were to perish and its true spirit were to quietly escape into the Shadow Primordial World, it might be feasible, but Dao Ancestor Hongjun might not be willing to let Xuan Yin utilize the Shadow Primordial World!

It's not a big deal that Xuan Yin and the others used Ying Honghuang to cultivate, but using this to scheme against Yuanshi Tianzun would make people question the Dao Ancestor's impartiality.

The Dao Ancestor would absolutely not agree.

"Then the only option is to return to nothingness!"

In the Primordial Realm, there are undoubtedly only a few places that the power of the Heavenly Dao cannot reach. The Netherworld has Houtu and the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so it will definitely be under constant scrutiny. As for the Land of Limitless, as the origin of the Primordial World, it is hard to guarantee that the Primordial Heavenly Venerable will not pay attention to it!

after all----

His incarnation, the Primordial Heavenly King, refined the Primordial Pearl of Fuli before the creation of the world!

Although the Land of Limitless is mysterious, it is undoubtedly under the watchful eye of the Primordial Heavenly King.

There's absolutely no way to fool them!

The Land of Return to Nothingness, however, is not only beyond the reach of the power of Heaven, but also symbolizes the end of all worlds, which is similar to the Dao Fruit of Lingbao Tianzun—perhaps it can deceive the cause of the various fruits of Yuanshi Tianzun!

Boom!

Just as Xuan Yin was pondering, the karmic cause and effect of the Ancestral Dragon's creation of the heavens and earth water spirit had already been transferred to Xuan Yin's dragon avatar using a secret technique.

The Black Dragon King's aura surged continuously, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the Great Luo Realm!

If Xuan Yin hadn't already refined the Water Element Dao Fruit and merged it with the Water Spirit identity of the Heaven-Opening Realm, he might have been able to directly create a peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal, a Water Dao Lord who touched upon the characteristics of Hunyuan Daluo!

But now, with only the identity of the Heaven-Opening Water Spirit and the Black Law Dragon King incarnation of Xuan Yin, the limit is to reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

"open!"

Seeing this, the Ancestral Dragon did not hesitate at all and directly used his divine power to construct a void portal in the Dragon Realm that led directly to the Ruins of Return.

Just as Xuan Yin was about to step inside, Zu Long spoke up: "The Void has no concept of time, but there are spies of Yuanshi Tianzun in the sea eyes of the East and North Seas. You'd better be careful in your actions!"

Shen Gongbao!

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin couldn't help but think of the name. Although he was appointed as the General of the East Sea Water Divider after the Investiture of the Gods, there is no concept of time in the Void. If he gets close to the East Sea Eye, there is still a great chance that he will see Shen Gongbao after the Investiture of the Gods!

The eye of the North Sea is where his physical body is located, and it is also where the Primordial Celestial Venerable might pay attention.

"I see!"

Xuan Yin nodded without hesitation and stepped directly into the void portal in front of him.

Although he was somewhat interested in Shen Gongbao, this time, his purpose was to find the origin of Pangu, so he did not intend to make contact with Shen Gongbao.

We'll talk about it another time!
