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

Chapter 342 [Entering the Game with Oneself, Winning Half a Move Against Fate] (Two Chapters Combined, Please Subscribe)

When the Eastern King Duke returned, he did not conceal his presence. As soon as he returned, many powerful beings sensed his presence, with the Western Queen Mother and the Human being being the first to feel it!

As one of the pioneers of the True Immortal Path, as soon as Dongwanggong stepped out of the Great Crimson Heaven of the Taiqing Realm, the fortune of the True Immortal Path converged on him.

The reason why the human felt something was because, before Fuxi transformed into human form, he gave him two spiritual treasures: the Dragon Head Staff and the Jingyang Bell!

The former was bestowed upon Dongwanggong by Daozu Hongjun as a symbol of the head of male immortals, and was later used by Dongwanggong to suppress the fortune of the celestial court.

The latter is one of the two top-grade innate spiritual treasures that accompanied the Eastern King Duke!

Like Di Jun, Dong Wang Gong was born with the destiny of an emperor, possessing profound blessings. He is the Lord of Shaoyang and is one of the few beings to be born with two innate spiritual treasures.

These two spiritual treasures, namely the Jingyang Bell, which is unparalleled in defense, and the Chunyang Sword, which is incomparably powerful in killing, were once used by the Eastern King Duke to contain the good and evil corpses respectively.

After Donghuang Taiyi killed Dongwanggong, Jingyangzhong fell into the hands of the demon race, and after some twists and turns, it was temporarily taken over by humans.

The Pure Yang Sword was quietly taken away by Taiqing Laozi when he perished.

It is attached to a true spirit of the Eastern King Duke; otherwise, even if Taiqing Laozi is a sage, he could not have helped the Eastern King Duke return out of thin air.

"These are turbulent times!"

Sensing the return of the Eastern King, Suiren frowned, glanced at the Sun Star, and then his gaze fell on Lu Jun.

Since the Eastern King Duke died at the hands of Taiyi, he will inevitably try every means to target the demon race in order to settle the score for the cause and effect of being killed by Taiyi in the past.

At least----

The Eastern King Duke would absolutely be happy to see Xihe's authority as the Sun Mother usurped by Chijingzi.

The Queen Mother of the West's expression remained unchanged. Although the King Duke of the East was born with the destiny of an emperor, he was far inferior to Di Jun and Tai Yi in terms of magnanimity—in her view, he was incapable of achieving any great feats!

This is also why she refused Dong Wanggong's invitation to enter the Celestial Court without hesitation, and instead used the power of the demon race to eliminate Dong Wanggong.

Her fellow Daoists may lack strength, but they cannot be so foolish as to fail to see the situation!

When the Dao Ancestor conferred the title of the head of male immortals, the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Fu Xi—these top beings of the primordial world—all had objections!

But Dongwanggong felt that with the Dao Ancestor's decree, no one would dare to do anything to him!

They even established a Celestial Court directly on Zifu Continent, and in the name of the head of male immortals, conferred the title of the Second Generation Five Emperors of the Primordial True Realm upon Chi Biao Nu and others!

Before you have the strength to suppress everything, doing something like this is just courting death, isn't it?

Therefore, the Queen Mother of the West felt no remorse for causing the death of the Eastern King Duke. She did not want to be implicated by the Eastern King Duke's karma in the future!

In terms of vision and wisdom, the Queen Mother of the West was far superior to the King Father of the East.

Although she was the leader of all female immortals, she never thought of unifying the prehistoric world, nor did she ever think of surpassing other female supernatural beings.

She has always taken the initiative to befriend Nuwa and Houtu, beings whose power surpasses hers, and even wanted to relinquish her position as the head of the female immortals.

She also showed great respect to Taiyuan Shengmu and Xianmu, whose strength was comparable to hers, without any airs of being the head of the female immortals.

Even those female masters of great supernatural powers who were not as strong as her, she did not neglect them, but instead guided their cultivation as a senior.

Therefore, in the eyes of many female cultivators in the prehistoric world, the Queen Mother of the West had an excellent reputation, and most female cultivators recognized her as the leader of the female immortals.

After returning to the primordial world, Dongwanggong did not rush to compete for the Nine Immortals of Hunyuan. Instead, he transformed into a rainbow light and came to the ancient starry sky.

He is now all alone and needs to find some helpers.

The ancient starry sky is now under the control of the Golden Spirit Mother. The Eastern King Duke directly approached the Golden Spirit Mother, hoping to exchange her for the Wangshu Immortal Sword.

Wang Shu was once the moon goddess, but she perished because of the schemes of Xi He and the Queen Mother of the West. The Eastern King Duke thought that he might be able to win over Wang Shu—after all, he and Wang Shu had a common enemy!

Upon learning of the Eastern King Duke's purpose, the Golden Spirit Mother immediately smiled and said, "Then I wonder, Your Majesty, how much are you willing to pay for that Wangshu Immortal Sword?"

Wang Shu is a powerful deity. In addition to her three souls, she also has a divine soul, which is entrusted to the Wang Shu Immortal Sword, which is made from the branches of the Taiyin laurel tree.

This Wangshu Immortal Sword is both a spiritual treasure and a guiding light for Wangshu's return.

only----

To welcome back the original Wangshu, a massive amount of merit and good fortune must be consumed!

Originally, Xuan Yin obtained this immortal sword, but at that time, Xuan Yin's cultivation was not high, and he did not want to establish a karmic relationship with an old relic like Wang Shu, so he gave the immortal sword to the Golden Spirit Mother.

The Dao fruit of the Golden Spirit Mother should be in the positions of the stars in the heavens and the Doumu Yuanjun. The recognition of a Taiyin Xingjun would be of great help to her.

Jin Ling, relying on Dou Mu's karma, was also able to suppress Wang Shu's plan to borrow luck to return!

"What's the whereabouts of the Celestial Star Tree?"

The former Dongwanggong, now the Donghua Emperor, slowly spoke: "Young friend Jinling, now that you have become a second-generation Doumu Yuanjun, you must be very interested in this companion spiritual root of the first-generation Doumu Yuanjun!"

The Zhou Tian Star Tree mentioned by Emperor Donghua is also a top-grade innate spiritual root. Although it is not among the top ten innate spiritual roots recognized by many great supernatural beings, it has endless wonderful uses. For great supernatural beings who cultivate the Great Dao of Stars, it can be called a treasure for achieving the Dao.

Long ago, the first Doumu Yuanjun, Lady Ziguang, took human form under the Zhou Tian Star Tree and gave birth to top star gods such as Ziwei and Gouchen!

The Well of Stars today is the place where the Celestial Star Tree once grew!

But unfortunately—

With the end of the ancient divine era and the fall of the first Doumu Yuanjun, this top-grade innate spiritual root disappeared from the world's sight.

"Is Your Majesty's statement true?"

The Golden Spirit Mother was naturally interested in this treasure, but while communicating with Emperor Donghua, she did not forget to inform Xuan Yin about it through the spirit world.

after all----

Although the Wangshu Immortal Sword is now in her possession, it was obtained by Xuan Yin. The Moon Essence Wheel, the innate spiritual treasure that comes with the Moon Goddess Wangshu, is also in Xuan Yin's hands. Naturally, it would be better to communicate with Xuan Yin!

Upon learning of this, Xuan Yin did not hesitate and immediately instructed the Golden Spirit Mother to agree to Emperor Donghua's request.

Since Emperor Donghua is willing to expend his own fortune to bring Wangshu back, he naturally doesn't mind settling his karmic ties with the Moon Goddess Wangshu.

but----

Donghua Dijun was able to return successfully because of Taiqing Laozi. He was worried that Taiqing Laozi might be plotting something behind the scenes, so he asked Jinling Shengmu to keep a close eye on things and also told Tongtian Jiaozhu about the Wangshu incident and the cause and effect of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Tree.

"interesting!"

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader immediately laughed and said, "That fellow Yuanshi, last time when Jinling used Taiyi's decree to forcibly prove herself as the second-generation Doumu, he retrieved Lady Ziguang's true spirit from the River of Time!"

"Now, Donghua is using Lady Ziguang's symbiotic spiritual root for a trade. Is this being orchestrated by Taiqing?"

"And that guy Yuanshi, he went to Shouyang Mountain not long ago. I wonder if he informed Taiqing about Lady Ziguang's matter?"

The one who knows you best is often not a friend, but an opponent. The fact that Yuanshi Tianzun retrieved Lady Ziguang from the River of Time and Space may seem like a secret, but it was actually not kept from Tongtian Jiaozhu!

If it is through Qi that Dongwanggong used the Zhou Tian Star Tree as a bargaining chip in the transaction, there must be some unknown calculation involved!

If they hadn't communicated, Madam Ziguang would surely harbor resentment in the future!

When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. The Tongtian Sect Leader's intention is also to change; he cannot be timid and hesitant just because he fears Taiqing Laozi's scheme.

This isn't like him!

Soon, Emperor Donghua obtained the Wangshu Immortal Sword containing the soul of Wangshu from Jinling. He also kept his word and made a solemn oath to tell Jinling the whereabouts of the Zhou Tian Star Tree!

"The Blind Realm!"

But upon hearing Donghua Dijun's words, Jinling Shengmu frowned.

There's no other reason than this!

This realm of darkness exists independently of the Three Realms. It serves as a transit point for many great worlds and is a strange world between the Primordial True Realm and the Demon Realm.

The Asura Realm opened up by the Styx Daoist, the nine worlds of Buddhism, and the dark side of the ancient starry sky all have void passages that can lead to the Asura Realm.

This world is extremely special, existing in the primordial state of creation. While it may not be described as a chaotic void, it is not much better than a chaotic void!

The only difference between this world and the Chaos is that this world is relatively stable, and even cultivators who have not yet attained the Great Luo realm will not be affected by the Chaos Qi.

When the Dao declined and the demons rose, the demon army used the Meng Realm as a springboard to conquer the nine worlds of Buddhism in one fell swoop, and then brazenly stepped into the western part of the Primordial True Realm.

That was a chaotic place!

Upon hearing this, the Golden Spirit Mother inquired, "As far as I know, Emperor Donghua is extremely busy and shouldn't have been to the Meng Realm. How can you be so sure that the Zhou Tian Star Tree fell into the Meng Realm?"

Emperor Donghua laughed and said, "Naturally, it's because someone saw it! The reason for the fall of the first Doumu Yuanjun was the Great Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts and the Tribulation of Dao Transformation! After Emperor Cangli transformed into the Dao, the lineage of the Heavenly Gods disintegrated. Zhuzhao, Youying, and Lady Ziguang fought their own battles, but the lineage of the Ferocious Beasts took advantage of the situation!"

"In that battle, Lady Ziguang was severely injured while fighting the ferocious beast clan in order to protect Ziwei, Gouchen, and the others whose cultivation was still shallow!"

"Although Zhuzhao, Youying, and others arrived in time to save Lady Ziguang, the Zhou Tian Star Tree fell into the Meng Realm!"

"And Lady Ziguang, due to her Dao injuries, passed away not long afterward!"

"At that time, a star god attempted to seize the Zhou Tian Star Tree amidst the chaos, but failed and could only watch as this innate spiritual root fell into the Dark Realm!"

"Later, that star god, seeing that I had established a celestial court, came to pledge his allegiance. This news was the key to his surrender to me!"

"He wanted me to retrieve the Zhou Tian Star Tree for him, but alas, both he and I ultimately perished at the hands of Donghuang Taiyi!"

The Golden Spirit Mother quickly pressed on, asking, "Then, may I ask, which star god is Your Majesty referring to?"

"Ying Huo!"

Mars is a fire star, and among the many star gods, its strength and status are extremely high, but it is powerless in the face of the overwhelming forces.

He barely survived the tribulations of the ferocious beasts and the Dragon-Han tribulation, and just as the immortal path was flourishing, he perished in the conflict between the two major forces of the demon race and the immortal court.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Ling immediately expressed her gratitude. The Zhou Tian Star Tree was of great use to her. If she could transform it into her own treasure for proving her Dao, she would have no fear even if Lady Zi Guang returned.

Emperor Donghua nodded slightly and then left with the Wangshu Immortal Sword.

After learning about the Zhou Tian Star Tree, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit did not act rashly, but returned directly to Golden Turtle Island.

Although the Mengjie region is a no-man's-land, it's not a place you can just go to whenever you want.

It's not a matter of ability.

Instead, it was Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Three Pure Ones who, to prevent the demon race from entering the prehistoric world before the Dao declined and the demons rose, took the initiative to leave a seal there.

Before long, the Golden Spirit Mother arrived before the Tongtian Sect Leader, hoping to ask for a way to bypass the saintly seals imposed by several saints.

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader neither refused nor agreed, but slowly said, "Although Donghua wasn't lying, there might be a scheme behind this involving Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun! It would be better to wait until your strength has improved further before going to the Meng Realm!"

"yes!"

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit immediately nodded.

But plans can't keep up with changes. Just as the Golden Spirit Mother nodded, a figure surrounded by starlight stepped out from the Pure Sky.

This figure's immortal cultivation was not high, only at the Great Luo realm, but her divine cultivation had already reached the Supreme Yi realm.

It was Lady Ziguang!

Originally, Yuanshi Tianzun wanted Lady Ziguang to cultivate in seclusion in Qingwei Heaven, but unfortunately, the position of Doumu Yuanjun was occupied by Jinling Shengmu, and she lacked the luck to become a quasi-saint in the immortal path!

After Dongwanggong returned, Taiqing Laozi advised him to use Ziguang Furen to win over Ziwei, so he decided to let Ziguang Furen be born ahead of schedule.

If Lady Ziguang could advance further, she might very well become an ally of the Chan Sect!

The Primordial Celestial Lord already knew about the Zhou Tian Star Tree. He introduced Lady Zi Guang to compete with Jin Ling for this opportunity, and also to get the support of those former Great Luo Star Gods.

Many star gods actually survived the Dragon-Han Calamity. Although later, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi killed all the remaining star gods in order to occupy the Nine Heavens and the Primordial Starry Sky as the foundation for the demon race's hegemony and evolved the Zhou Tian Star Array, their power cannot be denied!

Among these star gods, more than a hundred have entered the Zixiao Palace. They possess the characteristics of the Great Luo and may return in the future.

As the mother of all stars, Lady Ziguang's cultivation level may not be as high as those lords of immortal veins, but her prestige is still higher than that of those lords of immortal veins!

"What a magnificent beginning!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader never expected that the Primordial Heavenly Lord would directly bring out Lady Ziguang!

Now, for the sake of Jinling's path to enlightenment, even if we don't want to fight, we have to fight for it!

The Primordial Celestial Venerable directly bestowed the Saintly Seal and invited the Holy Mother of Taiyuan, the Golden Peak Immortal, and the Immortal Granny, asking them and Lady Ziguang to enter the Meng Realm together—to see if they could find the Zhou Tian Star Tree.

He wanted to make the Jie Sect make a move!

If Jin Ling does not fight, Lady Zi Guang will surely take back the position of Doumu Yuanjun!

If Jin Ling is preparing to compete with Lady Zi Guang, then it will be perfect for Tongtian Sect Leader and Xuan Yin to focus their attention on the Zhou Tian Star Tree!

In this way, he can take the opportunity to make some arrangements in other places!

For example, the Human race!

Although Shennong returned, he had not yet fully attained the Dao Fruit of the Earthly Sovereign.

As for Xuanyuan, although he has become a disciple of Chiyou, the master of war, he has not yet matured and still has enough time to make his moves among the human race.

Even if Xuanyuan fails, he will definitely get involved in the next five emperors!

There's also a battle for immortal veins!

Although Xuan Yin, Styx Daoist, and Kunpeng occupied three immortal veins, they also made Taiyuan Shengmu, Jinding Daxian, and Xianmu completely stand on the side of Chan Sect. Only by relying on Chan Sect will they have a chance in the future to make their own immortal veins return to the ranks of the Nine Immortals of Hunyuan!

Although the Chan Sect was at a disadvantage in the previous struggle, the statements of the three powerful figures still gave the Chan Sect a slight advantage.

At least----

Among the current disciples of the Jie Sect, apart from Xuan Yin, there is no one whose strength can rival that of a Quasi-Saint with the Three Corpses.

Although Taiyuan Shengmu and others lost their positions as the Nine Immortals of Hunyuan, they could rightfully become guest elders of the Chan Sect, using their status to suppress the Jie Sect and other immortal lineage leaders.

It wasn't a complete defeat!

Although Xuan Yin was in seclusion, he also noticed the changes in the cause and effect of the Heavenly Dao.

During this period, he successfully raised his Fengyuan Dao Fruit to the late stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal. All he needed was an opportunity to sever his obsessive corpse.

Once he severs his obsession and completely unifies his three corpses and three bodies, he can raise his cultivation to the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

At this point, Xuan Yin only needs to prove the Creation Fire Spirit and the Creation Heaven and Earth Spirit, and he can naturally attain the status of a Sage of the Earthly Path.

However, the Obsessive Corpse is the most difficult of the three corpses to sever. Even Xuan Yin could not find an opportunity to sever the Obsessive Corpse for a while!

Even if he were to retreat into seclusion and spend hundreds of years, he might not be able to find this opportunity.

"Let me accompany Senior Sister Jinling on this journey!"

Although he had a feeling of unease beforehand, Xuan Yin decided to go out for a walk anyway.

but----

Before that, he still planned to add two layers of protection for himself to avoid falling into the schemes of Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Laozi!

The first guarantee is the Tongtian Sect Master. After the Tongtian Sect Master obtains the second certificate, his shadow, the Chedi Zhenren, can mobilize the power of the sword dao fruit.

He planned to have the real man, Che Di, hide in his shadow to avoid any possible accidents.

The second layer of protection is the Dharmakaya World-Free King Buddha, whose destination, the Mundane Realm, is also connected to the nine great worlds affiliated with Buddhism.

If something unexpected happens, perhaps one can escape to the Buddhist world.

He could roughly guess the plans of Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Laozi. His identity as the grandson of Pangu and the mountain god of Buzhou Mountain could protect him from death. The best way to deal with him was to seal him and banish him!

Draw the target first, then shoot the arrow!

If I really fall into their trap, then the most important thing is to do everything I can to return to the Primordial True Realm!

During his seclusion, he did not remain idle, but carefully deduced the possible schemes that Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun might use to plot against him.

Furthermore, if he is unable to return for the time being, the Asura incarnation, the Witch Clan incarnation, and the severed Sambhogakaya, Nirmanakaya, and Dharmakaya will have to shoulder the responsibility of disrupting the Chan Sect's plans.

In addition, there is the hidden incarnation of the Black Dragon King, who may become the key to thwarting the Chan Sect's plans at a crucial moment!

"good!"

Listening to Xuan Yin's plan, the Tongtian Sect Leader nodded. He disliked scheming, but he knew that his disciple was quite cunning and unparalleled in the Primordial Realm when it came to scheming.

Therefore, he was not worried at all that Xuan Yin would suffer a loss; he only needed to restrain the other saints for Xuan Yin at some crucial moments!

Therefore, the Tongtian Sect Leader directly bestowed upon them the Saintly Seal, allowing the two to enter the Meng Realm, and secretly had the Chedi Zhenren merge into Xuan Yin's shadow.

Since Yuanshi Tianzun is restless, let him see the methods of the Jie Sect!

Go!

Before long, Xuan Yin and the Golden Spirit Mother arrived at the dark side of the ancient starry sky, where there was a void passage that could lead to the Meng Realm.

Holding the sage's seal, the two easily opened the void passage.

But the Golden Spirit Mother couldn't help but sigh, "Junior brother, this is my struggle for the Great Dao; you don't need to put yourself in such danger!"

Xuan Yin said solemnly, "Senior Sister, this is a scheme by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable against our Jie Sect; it's no longer a matter of the Great Dao between you and Lady Ziguang!"

"In this situation, only by personally engaging in the game can we possibly overcome fate!"

"Don't take any chances!"

However, just as the two stepped into the Meng Realm and before they even began searching for the Zhou Tian Star Tree, the vast Meng Realm began to tremble violently.

"What happened?"

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirits' expression changed instantly.

At the same time, Lady Ziguang, the Holy Mother Taiyuan, the Golden Peak Immortal, and the Immortal Granny, who stepped into the Mengjie from another spatial node, also changed their expressions.

This anomaly did not originate from the primordial world, but from the Demon Realm, which is adjacent to the Mist Realm.

"The creation of heaven and earth!"

In the Demon Realm, a sound of creation resounded, and the Primordial Heavenly Magic Form manifested accordingly, instantly revealing a power of creation that spanned the two realms.

The Demon Realm was evolved from the Demon Ancestor Luo, and can be considered the dark side of the Primordial True Realm. However, its status is a notch higher than that of the Naturally Evolved World of Meng, and it has already acquired some of the characteristics of the Primordial True Realm.

At this moment, what the Primordial Heavenly Demon wants to do is to use the Demon Realm to swallow up the Meng Realm.

Boom!

In an instant, spacetime trembled, chaos surged, and the origin of the demon realm manifested, directly cooperating with the Primordial Heavenly Demon to devour the world origin within the Demon Realm.

All living beings in the Demon Realm also fell into the Demon Realm under the influence of this great power, including Xuan Yin, Jin Ling Shengmu, Zi Guang Furen, Tai Yuan Shengmu, Jin Ding Da Xian, and Xian Mu.

"What a magnificent Primordial Celestial Venerable!"

Xuan Yin was also somewhat shocked. He had guessed that Yuanshi Tianzun would try to target him, but he did not expect that Yuanshi Tianzun would use three Quasi-Saints of the Three Corpses and a powerful god as bait!

"The Beginning!"

In the Primordial Realm, the Tongtian Sect Leader did not hesitate at all and directly slashed at Kunlun Mountain with his sword.

Although he was certain that Xuan Yin and Jin Ling would not be in any danger, he did not mind taking this opportunity to launch an attack on Yuanshi Tianzun and the Chan Sect.

If he does nothing, how will the billions of living beings in the prehistoric world view him as the leader of the Jie Sect?

Boom!

The Qingping Sword, now an innate treasure, instantly annihilated the chaotic sword energy evolved from the Pangu Banner, and with its remaining momentum, it slashed towards the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Taiqing Laozi did not stand idly by. The Taiji Diagram manifested from the void, directly transforming into a sky that stretched between the primordial world and the demon realm.

Clearly, banishing Xuan Yin to the Demon Realm, preventing him from interfering with the overall situation of the Primordial True Realm, was a joint plan between him and Yuanshi Tianzun.

The Tai Chi diagram connected with the power of Heaven, directly transforming into an even stronger seal.

The great trend of the Heavenly Dao, which was supposed to diminish the Dao and increase the demons, did not descend. Even a sage would find it difficult to break through it. The light of chaos illuminated all the heavens in an instant.

As for his true self, he stood in front of the Tongtian Sect Master together with the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Seeing the sudden outbreak of the battle between sages, the Daoist Zhunti on Mount Sumeru couldn't help but look at the Daoist Jieyin standing to the side, and slowly said, "Senior brother! There's something wrong with Yuanshi and Taiqing's plan! Banishing the second-generation Luo to the Demon Realm is no different from letting a rat into a rice jar!"

"What if, instead of ruining that kid, we also end up killing Lady Ziguang, the Holy Mother Taiyuan, the Golden Peak Immortal, and the Immortal Granny in the Demon Realm!"

"Although the primordial evil corpse is in the Demon Realm, the origin of the Demon Realm and the will of Rahu are definitely closer to Xuan Yin, that second-generation Rahu!"

The Guide remained unmoved: "Yuanshi and Taiqing don't know that kid is a second-generation Luo? Let the mouse enter the rice jar as it may! It won't affect the Western Sect. Let's just continue watching the show!"
