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

Chapter 346 [Changes in the Heavenly Cycle, Pan Wang Descends to Descend Calamity] (Two chapters combined, please subscribe)

Changes in the fortunes of heaven and earth inevitably bring calamities, and the human race, if it wants to become the protagonist of heaven and earth, naturally needs to go through many calamities.

While one can evade fate and avoid karma, one can only hide for a time, not forever. Xuan Yin explained the matter of the cycle of reincarnation to Di Jun and Tai Yi, and saved the lives of the nine golden crows. Although he avoided the calamity of the demon race using humans to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword in the original Heavenly Dao, the calamity facing the development of the human race could not be avoided.

These calamities require the intervention of successive sovereigns and sages of humanity. Once successfully resolved, the fortunes of humanity will naturally soar.

However, if they cannot avert the calamity, these people destined for it will inevitably turn to ashes!

The so-called teachers of the emperors and imperial tutors were not only to spread the Dao, but also to protect the Dao, so as to buy the emperors who were about to face calamities some time to overcome them.

As a direct disciple of the Jie Sect, Yunxiao mainly cultivated the Dao of the End of Fortune, but since the Five Fortunes are integrated, she can also roughly sense the changes in the calamity between heaven and earth.

The same applies to pharmacists.

After attaining Buddhahood, he opened up the Eastern Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli, which is solemn and pure, no different from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. In his past lives, he made twelve great vows, including relieving the suffering of sentient beings, covering disaster relief, longevity, and the complete fulfillment of all faculties, and also giving warnings for impending calamities.

Looking at the swirling poisonous aura of the Ten Thousand Mountains, he frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Yunxiao, this Pan Wang seems to have ill intentions! He has already severed his two corpses; with just the two of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle him!"

The Pharmacist is currently a Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Immortal Path and a Great Awakening Golden Immortal of the Buddhist Path. Although he has a profound foundation, he has not yet stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm.

Although Yunxiao severed one of his corpses and stepped into the realm of great supernatural beings, he was ultimately no match for Panwang, a veteran great supernatural being.

Yunxiao remained calm and said indifferently, "In a direct confrontation, I might not be his match, but he won't be able to break my Nine Turns Yellow River Formation!"

"The Primordial Golden Cauldron, emerge!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden cauldron radiating chaotic immortal light and endless aura of impending doom began to absorb the poisonous energy of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Furthermore, an array diagram flew out, evolving from the void into the winding Yellow River and a sky full of yellow sand, seemingly intending to completely seal off the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The Hunyuan Golden Cauldron is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. It can capture treasures and immortals, shave the three flowers and five qi of the Great Luo, and possess the vast divine power to contain the four seas.

Boom!

When the Golden Cauldron appeared, the world lost its color, and the sun and moon lost their light. As the poisonous energy was absorbed by it, the calamity energy in the world was also weakened by 30% out of thin air.

But at that moment, a sinister giant banner appeared from the void, and millions of Gu worms flew out of the banner in all directions.

Four more ferocious primordial insects charged directly towards where Yunxiao and the Pharmacist were.

【Heavenly Gu Domain Banner】

This is one of Pan Wang's two companion spirit treasures. Although it is only a high-grade innate treasure, it is a world of its own and can control millions of Gu worms at the same time.

Those four primordial ferocious insects were even more extraordinary. They were none other than the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion, the Multi-Eyed Golden Centipede, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, and the Nine-Headed Insect, which were on par with the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito. All of them were ferocious creatures born at the beginning of the world.

Each one was no less powerful than an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal, and the multi-eyed golden centipede even exuded an aura comparable to a Quasi-Saint of the Immortal Path.

Clearly, this was Pan Wang's trump card, one that he had not revealed even when Fu Xi attacked the Heavenly Court, despite being the ruler of the Plague Department.

Pan Wang, controlling the four ferocious insects, attacked Yunxiao and Yaoshi: "Juniors, do you think you can show off in front of your ancestor?"

"Out of respect for the Sage Tongtian and the Sage Jieyin, I, your ancestor, will spare your lives. Why don't you take your magical treasures and leave immediately?"

Although Yunxiao's Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is renowned in the grand scheme of things, and Yaoshi became one of the leaders of Buddhism after its rise, Panwang doesn't really pay much attention to them now.

no way!

The problem is that the two of them haven't yet transformed their talent into sufficient strength.

"A skeleton in a tomb dares to be arrogant?"

Yunxiao was not afraid at all. With a thought, endless negative energy and scattered immortal energy swept towards Panwang from within the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

The Qi of the End of Fortune comes from the Primordial Golden Cauldron, while the Qi of Scattered Souls comes from the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation Diagram, which she extracted from the Scattered Soul Sand.

Each grain of this Soul-Scattering Sand is incredibly mysterious, ranging from as large as Mount Sumeru to as small as a mustard seed, and it can easily obliterate a cultivator's soul.

The most famous user of the Soul-Scattering Sand was undoubtedly the Taoist Hongyun, who refined the Soul-Scattering Sand into the innate gourd he obtained from Buzhou Mountain.

However, Yunxiao took a different approach, going a step further than Hongyun Daoren did, transforming the Scattered Soul Sand into the formless and shapeless Scattered Soul Immortal Qi.

Wherever the scattered immortal energy passed, all the Gu worms were reduced to ashes and vanished without a trace. Only the four primordial ferocious insects and Pan Wang remained unharmed.

"You brat, how dare you be so arrogant!"

Pan Wang was furious and immediately summoned another of his companion treasures, the Pan Wang Yuan Gu Sword. The terrifying cursed sword energy collided with the scattered soul immortal energy.

Yunxiao, however, was equally unyielding. He not only used the Scattered Soul Immortal Qi to seal off the four directions, but also attempted to use the Great Dao of the End of Fortune to reduce the cultivation of the Multi-Eyed Golden Centipede.

She could naturally tell that the multi-eyed golden centipede was the strongest among the four primordial ferocious insects.

Of course, this should be our priority!

The pharmacist didn't just stand by and watch. A jade plate flew out from above his head, emitting a crystal-clear light, and twelve yakshas transformed into twelve divine generals.

These twelve divine generals, corresponding to the twelve earthly branches, directly unleashed various magical artifacts to suppress the nine-headed worm and the nine-tailed earth scorpion beside Pan Wang.

He himself summoned a glazed pagoda and used it to suppress the six-winged golden cicada.

"Amitabha!"

The medicine man softly chanted a Buddhist prayer and slowly said, "The sea of ​​suffering is boundless; turn back and you will find the shore!"

He wants to convert the six-winged golden cicada!

In the original Heavenly Dao, the demon army invaded the Ten Thousand Mountains, and Pan Wang was also powerfully suppressed and killed by Donghuang Taiyi in a great battle.

After Pan Wang's death, his two companion spirit treasures disappeared without a trace, while the Seven Arrows Nailhead Book that he obtained from the Curse Clan fell into the hands of Donghuang Taiyi, and was later passed on to the current Crown Prince of the Demon Clan, Lu Jun.

This led to the subsequent cause and effect.

As for the four primordial ferocious insects, three of them were reduced to ashes by the true fire of the sun, with only a wisp of their true spirit residing in the body of their bloodline descendants.

Only the six-winged cicada managed to escape this calamity by using its ability to shed its shell.

However, one can only escape for a time, not forever. After encountering the Guide, he was converted and taken to the Western Land, where he was influenced by Buddhism and became a key figure in the later prosperity of the West.

Jin Chanzi!

After the great changes in the Heavenly Dao, Pan Wang did not perish, and the Six-Winged Golden Cicada was still under his control, so naturally it had no chance to be saved by the Guide Daoist.

but----

Under the laws of Heaven, every sip and every bite is preordained. The demon race did not invade the Ten Thousand Mountains, but the human race, which inherited the demon race's fortune, set its sights on this place.

Similarly, the Guide Daoist did not convert the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, but his disciple, the Pharmacist, encountered the Six-Winged Golden Cicada by chance.

"This six-winged golden cicada is surely destined to be connected with my Western Paradise!"

Zhunti Daoist was always paying attention to the matter of the Earth Emperor's teachings, and naturally he also noticed Pan Wang, as well as the Six-Winged Golden Cicada that Pan Wang was manipulating with the help of spiritual treasures.

Among the five primordial insects, the bloodthirsty black mosquito has already been converted by him, and before that, it absorbed nearly a quarter of the original essence of the innate spiritual root, the peach tree.

He refined this part of the source into elixirs, successfully repairing Maitreya's foundation!

Now that the other four insects have all appeared in the world, he naturally wants to convert them all.

However, remembering the instructions of the Guide Daoist, he did not rashly intervene, as the karma on Panwang was closely connected with the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

He had no desire to fight against the Primordial Celestial Lord!

But he still kept an eye on the Ten Thousand Mountains. If the pharmacist encountered any danger, he would definitely descend directly to the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

"A myriad of poisons devour the heart!"

Pan Wang also noticed Yao Shi's actions. While fighting Yun Xiao, he manipulated tens of thousands of Gu worms to fly towards Yao Shi.

As these Gu worms flew about, they transformed into wisps of black smoke, directly attacking the Medicine Master's primordial spirit, attempting to pull him into the Great Void Illusion Sea.

In an instant, all sorts of illusions arose and vanished before the Medicine Master, with demonesses dancing and Buddhas passing away, but the Medicine Master was not afraid at all. He directly used the Fearless Mudra to sweep away the illusions one by one.

If he didn't have this much skill as a direct disciple of a sage, what would he be doing practicing Buddhism?

【Pure Fire of Glazed Glass】

With a thought, the pharmacist conjured up endless flames, as brilliant as crystal, which spread along the cause and effect of the countless Gu worms and Pan Wang.

The foundation of Buddhism and Taoism lies in several great principles such as cause and effect, Nirvana, and reincarnation. As a direct disciple of a sage, the Medicine Master is naturally extremely skilled in the great principle of cause and effect. His Glazed Pure Fire uses cause and effect as fuel, and in the blink of an eye, those Gu worms that attacked him turned to ashes under the Glazed Pure Fire.

Meanwhile, Pan Wang, who was battling Yunxiao, also had a pure, glazed flame ignited on his body, clearly anchored by the causal link of the Gu worms by the Medicine Master.

"A trivial skill!"

Although surprised by the methods of the Medicine Master, Pan Wang, as a Quasi-Saint of the Second Corpse, did not take the Glazed Pure Fire he used seriously.

With a mere thought, he used his immense magical power to extinguish the Pure Glazed Flame on his body.

but----

Ultimately, it still distracted him.

Yunxiao naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity. Endless Qi of the End of Fortune gathered and transformed into Divine Light of the End of Fortune, instantly annihilating all the Gu worms in the void. Then, with its remaining momentum, it struck towards Panwang's primordial spirit.

This attack, having been built up over a long period with the help of the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, was something even Pan Wang, a Quasi-Saint of the Second Corpse, dared not be careless in the slightest.

With a wave of his hand, millions of Gu worms flew out from the Heavenly Gu Yuanyu Banner, turning into specks of light that devoured the Divine Light of the End of Fortune.

[The Devouring Worm]

Although Pan Wang was only a Quasi-Saint of the Second Corpse, he was revered as the Ancestor of the Unorthodox Daoist School, and he had remarkable insights into the various Great Daos in the Primordial World.

Although the supernatural powers in the primordial world were diverse, in his view, they were essentially all about leveraging the power of laws to manipulate the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Therefore, in order to counter the supernatural powers of other great supernatural beings, he specially used his own Great Dao to cultivate millions of Devouring Insects.

This Devouring Law Worm is best at devouring various laws and the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

While the Devouring Insect was consuming the Divine Light of the End of Fortune, the Multi-Eyed Golden Centipede, manipulated by the Heavenly Gu Yuanyu Banner, also suddenly charged towards the clouds.

Golden beams shot out from his eyes, shattering all laws and stirring up the universe, crashing against the great formation with ultimate destructive power.

As a primordial ferocious insect, the multi-eyed golden centipede has extremely keen senses, and it can feel the immense pressure brought to it by the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Enter the battle!

He definitely wouldn't dare to go in!

But testing the waters outside the formation was a piece of cake for him.

Whenever the scattered immortal energy and the divine light of the end of the world lock onto him, he can instantly escape by transforming into yellow mist and golden light.

When he transforms into yellow mist, ordinary supernatural powers are directly distorted by him.

It simply won't happen to him.

As for the method of transforming into golden light, it is in no way inferior to the Xuanmen's Golden Light of the Earth, and is definitely one of the top escape techniques in the Primordial True Realm.

Although Yunxiao believed in the power of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation and considered herself invincible, neither Panwang nor the Multi-Eyed Golden Centipede entered the formation, leaving her helpless against them. She could only temporarily seal off the void near the Hundred Thousand Mountains by using the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation to create the Nine-Bend Yellow River.

The vast and boundless Ten Thousand Mountains, although her great formation can draw power from the earth's veins, still require her to expend her own magical power to control it.

Therefore, the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for her and the Medicine Master!

Moreover, as far as she knew, Pan Wang possessed a powerful weapon, the Seven Arrows Nailhead Book, which had killed her brother Zhao Gongming in the original Heavenly Dao, and could kill people invisibly!

This is absolutely not to be underestimated!

On the other side, the Tongtian Sect Leader also noticed Yunxiao's predicament and immediately sent Zhao Gongming to the Ten Thousand Mountains to help Yunxiao and the Pharmacist!

In the original course of Heaven's will, Zhao Gongming perished under the Seven Arrows of Nailhead. But now, with immense fortune bestowed upon him, he is the least afraid of such insidious methods among all the disciples of the Jie Sect.

If Pan Wang can be killed, not only will a karmic debt be settled, but a good relationship with Shennong can also be formed. Sending Zhao Gongming would be the most suitable option!

The battle continues.

But Pan Wang had already seen the limitations of the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation. As long as he didn't enter the formation, no matter how powerful the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation was, it couldn't do anything to him!

So he went all out, breaking through a relatively weak void node and sending out hundreds of thousands of Gu worms containing plague and poison.

These Gu worms pose little threat to cultivators, but even a single one can cause the deaths of thousands of mortals.

In an instant, various plagues and diseases broke out in the major human dynasties.

The cultivators did their best to save most of the human race's lives, but they had no clue how to cure the plague.

Upon learning of this situation, Yunxiao and Yaoshi also sent out an avatar to tell Shennong about the Ten Thousand Mountains and Panwang.

Shennong immediately frowned.

Pan Wang's poisons are incredibly diverse and varied, each with its own unique characteristics, and he can only test them on himself one by one.

Upon learning of the situation in the Ten Thousand Mountains, Suirenshi immediately prepared to go there, but was stopped by Emperor Donghua.

The reason is also very simple.

In Suirenshi's hands were two top-grade innate spiritual treasures that he once possessed: one was the Jingyang Bell, which was born alongside the Chunyang Sword, and the other was the dragon-headed walking stick bestowed upon him by the Dao Ancestor in the Zixiao Palace.

With the blessing of the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit, Suirenshi was stronger than Donghua Dijun, but Donghua Dijun had the helper of the Moon Goddess Wangshu.

With two against one, Suirenshi was truly unable to attend to the Ten Thousand Mountains for the time being.

but----

Chi You, however, decided to step forward.

He left his eight brothers to guard the Jiuli Divine Dynasty, while he led the nine Golden Crows directly to the Hundred Thousand Mountains where Pan Wang was located.

The reason Chi You brought the nine golden crows was because their solar fire could, to some extent, counteract Pan Wang's plague poison!

The True Fire of the Sun is an extremely yang and powerful fire. Ordinary plagues and poisons cannot even get close to it; they will be annihilated by the True Fire of the Sun without a trace.

Chi You sneered, "Dare to attack my human race? That Pan Wang is really tired of living! The Ten Thousand Mountains are filled with poisonous miasma, are they? Then we'll burn all those poisonous insects in the Ten Thousand Mountains to ashes!"

"Devouring the Heavens!"

Without the slightest hesitation, they charged directly at Pan Wang, while Bo Huang and the others activated the True Fire of the Sun to target the Gu worms released by Pan Wang.

This also includes the Devouring Law Worm, which Pan Wang carefully cultivated and can devour the power of laws.

Although the Devouring Law Worm can devour the power of laws, it has its limits. It has no time to react to the fierce and domineering True Fire of the Sun.

"court death!"

Pan Wang was furious and directly activated the Pan Wang Yuan Gu Sword. This innate spiritual treasure instantly transformed into a pitch-black dragon and charged towards Bo Huang and the others.

This magical treasure is both a weapon of slaughter and can also transform into a dragon. If one is not careful, one may suffer a great loss because of this innate magical treasure.

However, it was of little use to Bo Huang and the others. The nine of them were almost of one mind and did not give Pan Wang Yuan Gu Sword any chance to be created.

At the same time, Zhao Gongming also arrived, wielding the Purple Lightning Hammer, which manifested as a sea of ​​lightning, directly crashing down on Pan Wang in front of him.

Seeing this, Yunxiao also went all out, using the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation to gather the final divine light of the Hunyuan Golden Bucket into one place.

【The Divine Light of the Nine-Bend Heavenly River at the End of Its Cycle】

Under Yunxiao's control, the Divine Light of the End of Fortune transformed into a winding celestial river, sweeping across all directions. No matter what kind of divine power Panwang used to evade, this divine power followed him like a shadow.

With Chi You and Zhao Gongming keeping him occupied, Pan Wang was caught off guard and had half of his body sliced ​​off by Yunxiao's divine power.

"Damn it!"

Pan Wang's face was extremely ugly. He hadn't expected to suffer a loss at the hands of a few juniors. He immediately made a feint at Chi You and Yun Xiao, while his true body launched a fierce attack on Zhao Gongming, and then transformed into a rainbow and fled.

Two fists can't beat four hands. Although his cultivation level was a notch higher than theirs, his forte was not actually direct combat.

It's a curse!

Given enough luck and enough time, he could kill even those stronger than him with his supernatural powers.

"Trying to leave?"

"It's not that easy!"

Seeing that Pan Wang wanted to run away, Zhao Gongming hardened his heart and manifested his original form of innate clear wind, preparing to use the Great Dao of Wind to entangle Pan Wang for a moment.

But at that moment, an inexplicable force swept away Pan Wang.

Clearly, it was Yuanshi Tianzun who made the move!

However, although Pan Wang was defeated and fled, the mess he left behind was difficult to clean up.

Although Bo Huang and the others had cleared away the poisonous insects in the Ten Thousand Mountains with the True Fire of the Sun, they were powerless against the plague spread by Pan Wang.

On the other side, with Pan Wang's escape, the four primordial beasts, having lost Pan Wang's control, were utterly defeated by the divine powers of Yao Shi and Yun Xiao.

The multi-eyed golden centipede managed to escape using its strange escape technique, but the six-winged golden cicada was successfully suppressed by the pharmacist using the great supernatural powers of Buddhism.

Although the six-winged golden cicada was skilled in the art of shedding its shell, Yunxiao's Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation completely sealed off the surrounding void.

With its quasi-saint cultivation, the multi-eyed golden centipede could easily break through, but the six-winged golden cicada would find it difficult to break through the surrounding void!

Taking advantage of his weakened state after using the Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell technique, the pharmacist trapped him directly in the Pure Land of Glazed Glass and used a primordial spiritual treasure as a suppressing object.

The Nine-Headed Insect had eight heads shaved off by Yunxiao's Last Divine Light, and was finally blasted into dust by Zhao Gongming, who arrived at the scene and activated the Shangqing Thunder Technique.

The Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion's tail was severed by Chi You. Although it managed to escape from the earth veins thanks to its innate ability to burrow underground, it was severely weakened and could no longer cause any trouble.

Zhao Gongming, however, retracted the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion's tail: "This is indeed a good item for refining weapons! Junior Brother Xuan Yin should be very interested in it!"

However, Yunxiao and the Pharmacist remained worried. The problem here had been solved, but the plague that Panwang had spread to the human race was a major problem.

The group arrived at the Lieshan Divine Dynasty. Shennong was constantly testing the poisons on himself. Although he had already refined several kinds of antidotes, they were still a drop in the ocean compared to the variety of plagues.

Shennong's condition worsened as he repeatedly tested poisons on himself.

With a thought, the pharmacist sent a beam of radiant light down on Shennong, removing some of the remaining plague poison from his body!

But this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause!

Countless humans have been affected by the plague, and even if Shennong constantly tested the poison on himself, it would be impossible to eradicate it all in a short period of time.

Seeing this, Yunxiao couldn't help but sigh softly, "If only we had the Three Lights Divine Water! The Three Lights Divine Water is a sacred healing medicine from the primordial era, capable of curing all poisons. These plagues would surely be no match for it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming shook his head: "If Senior Sister Jinling were here, perhaps she could use the authority of Doumu Yuanjun to gather the power of the sun, moon, and stars, and condense the Three Lights Divine Water! But unfortunately, she and Junior Brother Xuanyin have both fallen into the Demon Realm due to the Sage's scheme, and cannot return for the time being!"

"Besides that, in the Primordial True Realm, the only thing capable of condensing the Three Lights Divine Water is probably the Pure Glazed Bottle bestowed upon Cihang by the Sage of the Chan Sect!"

Yunxiao's face immediately turned grim: "That must have been the one who rescued Panwang earlier, and the treasure capable of condensing the Three Lights Divine Water is in the hands of the Chan Sect. That person is probably trying to force Shennong to submit!"

There's another conjecture she didn't voice: was the Golden Spirit Mother's imprisonment in the Demon Realm partly due to this scheme?

However, the people present were either Heavenly Emperors or direct disciples of great sage sects, so they naturally understood the point that Yunxiao hadn't pointed out.

"This is outrageous!"

Zhao Gongming couldn't help but curse, "Does a sage consider all living beings as worthless weeds?"

Shennong sighed softly, "If I can obtain the Three Lights Divine Water and save billions of people, it would be worth it even if I lost face!"

But I'm afraid—

Upon hearing this, Chi You sneered, "I'm afraid that sage will only say it's the will of Heaven. Even if you're willing to bow down, that sage from Kunlun Mountain probably won't easily bestow the Three Lights Divine Water!"

"Amitabha!"

The pharmacist sighed softly, "We still have to give it a try. The relationships between Fellow Daoists Chi You, Yunxiao, and Zhao Gongming and the Chan Sect aren't very good. Perhaps this humble monk should go and see Fellow Daoist Cihang instead!"

Zhao Gongming's eyes lit up, and a flash of inspiration struck him. "That's right," he said, "Junior Brother Lü Yue also has a very high level of expertise in the Great Dao of Plague. I'll go to Nine Dragons Island now and see if he can cure Pan Wang's plague."

The paths of cultivation for the disciples of the Jie Sect are incredibly diverse, and the Plague Immortal Lü Yue was originally the Lord of the Plague Department of the Heavenly Court in the grand scheme of Heaven's Dao.

In Zhao Gongming's view, Lü Yue might have a way to cure the Panwang plague!

So he simply said goodbye and left!

The Pharmacist also transformed into a rainbow of light and fled towards Cihang Daoren's Daoist temple.

Shennong, however, did not place all his hopes on the Three Lights Divine Water and Lü Yue.

He knew that this was a calamity for humanity, and as the common ancestor of all mankind, he certainly could not place his hopes on the benevolence of the disciples of the sages and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

A person can only rely on themselves!

So he continued to test the medicine, just to eliminate the calamity that Pan Wang had brought about.

As for Yunxiao, he has always stayed by Shennong's side. If there is a way to cure the poison, Panwang, who escaped before, may very well make a comeback.

We cannot be careless in the slightest!
