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

Chapter 377 [The Shift in Offense and Defense, Encountering the Calamity]

"OK!"

Suddenly, the voice of Lingbao Tianzun echoed in the void. This saint, who symbolized the end of all ages and whose entire being exuded the aura of finality, revealed a rare smile on his face: "It seems that in the matter of educating disciples, I am still superior!"

"Through so many cycles of reincarnation, not a single disciple of the Primordial Beginning has achieved sainthood!"

"Hahaha!"

Lingbao Tianzun's appearance is almost identical to that of Tongtian Jiaozhu, but his aura is much deeper than that of Tongtian Jiaozhu!

However, his spirit of seizing a glimmer of hope for all living beings was no less, and even the final tribulation could not shake his will.

In the past twenty cycles of reincarnation, his struggle with the Great Dao against the Primordial Celestial Venerable always resulted in more losses than wins due to the positions of Taiqing Laozi, Jieyin, and Zhunti. Only at the end of the world could he regain his footing by relying on his characteristics as the end of all ages and the final moment.

Even if we defeat Yuanshi Tianzun and destroy the Great Dao during the final tribulation, it will not change the fact that we have been targeted in the past!

At most, it will only help him relieve some of the frustration in his heart!

no way!

Why was his Dao Fruition at the end of all ages, which prevented him from exerting his full power during the Investiture of the Gods calamity, and why did the other saints stand on the side of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable?

The only thing that made him happy was that his disciples were quite promising, achieving Quasi-Saint status before the disciples of the Chan Sect in every era!

In particular, Duobao, after cultivating both Buddhism and Taoism, received immeasurable good fortune and even reached the level of a sub-saint after the great calamity of Buddhism and demons!

At that time, with Taiyi's death and Styx's reclusion from the world, Duobao could already be considered the number one person below the sage!

Unfortunately, as the world gradually declined, even Daoist Duobao still found it difficult to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal status!

This is the general trend of the past twenty cycles.

However, this era brought the variable of Xuan Yin, slowing the decline of heaven and earth. Hou Tu, through the help of the Earthly Dao, became a Saint of the Earthly Dao, and the Earthly Dao evolved into several opportunities to become a Saint of the Earthly Dao.

In this situation, Xuan Yin seized the opportunity to rise up, first becoming a Dao Saint, and then, with the help of the Dao Fruit of the Dao Saint, becoming a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal—undoubtedly demonstrating the correctness of his philosophy of teaching without discrimination!

It should be noted that Xuan Yin was a primordial human. Before joining the Jie Sect, he had already come into contact with Nuwa, the creator of humankind, and Taiqing Laozi, the founder of the Liren Sect.

Neither of them took Xuan Yin under their wing until he recognized his exceptional talent.

That led to everything that followed.

Therefore, Xuan Yin's attainment of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal status was of great significance to him, as it was a successful practice of the concept of education for all in this era!

At least----

Before a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal was born under the tutelage of Yuanshi Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun should have been too ashamed to mention the word "education" in front of him!

"In matters of education, I have prevailed!"

Lingbao Tianzun was in a very good mood at the moment. After using the Zhuxian Sword Formation to conceal the heavenly secrets and causes, he patted Xuan Yin on the shoulder forcefully.

"Thanks to the teacher's guidance!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin immediately bowed solemnly to Lingbao Tianzun.

If he hadn't become a disciple of a sage, how could he have had the opportunity to stir up the primordial world? How could he have had the chance to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm amidst the chaos?

If it weren't for the protection of the Tongtian Sect Master, his reckless behavior would probably have been enough to have him killed by other saints a thousand times over in the Primordial True Realm!

Therefore, he was truly grateful to the Tongtian Sect Leader!

Lingbao Tianzun nodded, and then asked Xuan Yin about his next plans.

Xuan Yin attained enlightenment at the end of all ages, and he did not become a Heavenly Dao Saint. Furthermore, when Xuan Yin attained enlightenment, he used the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to conceal the secrets of heaven and cause and effect. At this moment, in the Primordial True Realm, the number of people who know that Xuan Yin has attained the Earthly Dao Saint and the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal is probably no more than five.

The Tongtian Cult Leader is one of them.

Both Xuan Yin and Nuwa are Earthly Saints, and their Dao Fruits are related to the Earthly Dao, as are those of Nuwa and Houtu.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's strength far surpasses that of other saints. Not to mention, Xuan Yin's Hongmeng Measuring Ruler also has a balancing power bestowed by him—therefore, Dao Ancestor Hongjun should already know about this matter!

Besides that, there's Demon Ancestor Luo. Xuan Yin inherited most of his karma, so he would definitely sense Xuan Yin's breakthrough in realm.

As for other sages, such as Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, as long as Xuan Yin does not return to the prehistoric world, we can keep it from them for the time being!

no way!

Who made Xuan Yin attain enlightenment at the end of all ages, with Lingbao Tianzun intervening to cover it up, and his Dao fruit being entrusted to the future time and space where all things in heaven and earth return to nothingness?

Of course, if Xuan Yin were to return to the primordial world and go back to a point in time, Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and others would definitely notice.

Leaving aside other matters for now.

The addition of a saint-level being to the Jie Sect would undoubtedly cause its fortune to skyrocket. In the eyes of a saint, such behavior is like a candle flame in the dark, which is useless no matter how you try to conceal it.

Even with the help of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, Lingbao Tianzun could only temporarily conceal the situation, and that was only possible if Xuan Yin continued to stay at the end of all worlds.

Furthermore, since the Dao Fruit of Xuan Yin is at the end of all ages, the original body is certainly unable to return, and can only divide into multiple bodies like the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao.

"That's not urgent!"

Xuan Yin laughed and said, "In the current situation, the best course of action is to remain unchanged and respond to all changes!"

In the Primordial Realm, the most attention-grabbing event right now is undoubtedly the battle for the Human Emperor. However, Xuanyuan and Chiyou are now on the same side, so even if the opponent is Haotian, Xuanyin is not worried at all.

If Yuanshi Tianzun were to take action, Houtu would naturally not stand idly by.

Because he has attained the status of a Sage of the Earthly Dao, and the origin of the Earthly Dao has grown stronger, Houtu at this moment is not a problem even if she has to deal with both Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun at the same time, and is able to maintain the balance for the time being.

There's no need to intervene for now!

In the Demon Realm, he made a ten-cycle pact with the Purple Demon Lord and others, and he also wanted to see if the other party had any plans.

If he suddenly turns against him, he will return immediately, sweep across the Demon Realm, and wipe out all the unstable elements such as the Purple Demon Lord and the Primordial Heavenly Demon!

Anyway, their true forms are in the Primordial World, and it was Taiqing Laozi who took the initiative to use the power of the Heavenly Dao and the Taiji Diagram to separate the Demon Realm from the Primordial True World.

Under these circumstances, with his current strength, even if he could only send down one avatar at a time, it would be enough to sweep away all beings in the Demon Realm.

He wasn't a saint before, so he was helpless against Yuanshi Tianzun's bullying of the weak!

But now—

If he doesn't seize the opportunity to bully the weak and retaliate against the evil corpse of Yuanshi Tianzun, wouldn't his status as a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal be wasted?

"Now, the tide has turned!"

Xuan Yin thought to himself, but he did not intend to return to the Primordial World immediately. Instead, he planned to consolidate his Dao Fruit at the end of all ages!

Putting everything else aside, having become a true sage, he must be carefully comprehending the many great laws contained within the origin of the earth!

Besides that, we also need to carefully plan what to do next!

He intends to obtain the Origin Dao Fruit for the second time, which requires him to go to the place before the creation of the world, which can be said to be the place where the Primordial Heavenly Venerable attained enlightenment. If he does not make sufficient preparations in advance, he will definitely suffer the consequences!

Seeing that Xuan Yin had his own ideas, Lingbao Tianzun did not say much. He simply explained to him the methods of severing the Dao body and refining the treasure for proving the Dao. The method of severing the Dao body was similar to the method of severing the three corpses, and both required the innate spiritual treasure to entrust the Great Dao.

Normal cultivators only have one Dao-proving treasure, but if they want to prove their Dao a second or third time, they must refine a second or third Dao-proving treasure.

For example, Lingbao Tianzun's first treasure for proving his Dao was the Biyu Yaoguang Ruyi, which was refined from the primordial chaos during the final tribulation.

The second treasure for proving one's Dao is the Qingping Sword, a sword treasure that originated from the Creation Green Lotus and has now evolved into a supreme innate treasure!

As for the Zhuxian Sword Formation, although it was created by Luo, after being refined, it has become the third treasure for Lingbao Tianzun to prove his Dao!

Xuan Yin now possesses a treasure for proving his Dao: the Sacred Law Gourd, forged from the innate essence of seven innate gourds.

Lingbao Tianzun slowly spoke, "The core of the Sacred Law Gourd is the Law of Law. I think you can exchange it for a spiritual treasure to suppress the Great Dao of Returning to the Void!"

"Like your Guixu Sword Embryo!"

"As for the two certificates, if you want to prove the origin, then the Primordial Measuring Ruler is the most suitable!"

He paused, his gaze lingering on the Sacred Law Gourd for a moment, before continuing, "Since you regard the Law as the core of your fusion of all paths, then the Sacred Law Gourd should be used during the third or fourth stage of proof!"

"If you use the Sacred Law Gourd to suppress the Great Dao of Returning to Nothingness, then the Heaven-Opening Axe Light left to you by the Father God will be of no use!"

The treasures of enlightenment coexist with the Great Dao, much like the companion spiritual treasures of the Chaos God. It is best not to leave one's place of enlightenment lightly.

When a primordial deity takes human form, there is a primordial sacred land. If this primordial sacred land is found, the primordial deity may be in danger of perishing.

The reason why Pan Wang perished was because Lu Jun, Lü Yue, and Yao Bin found the innate sacred land hidden in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Although only Lingbao Tianzun and Xuan Yin remain at the end of all worlds, we still need to be wary of someone challenging Xuan Yin, the new Demon God of Returning to the Void.

If he were to engage in a great battle with Xuan Yin, Lingbao Tianzun would be of no help, just like the great battle between Xuan Yin and the Guixu Demon God.

For example, Laozi of Taiqing pursued the unity of the past, future, and humanity, and perhaps had a very profound understanding of the Dao of Returning to the Void.

There is also the Guide Daoist, who mainly cultivates the Dao of Nirvana. If he wants to integrate the Dao of Returning to the Void, it is possible for him to do so with some effort!

The struggle for truth is everywhere!

Take the Great Dao of Thunder, for example. The Thunder Demon God has not revived, yet the Three Pure Ones have all ventured into this path, as can be seen from the Three Pure Ones' Precious Proclamation.

The precious pronouncements of the Heavenly Venerable of Morality contain the true words of the Great Dao, which govern Yin and Yang and command thunder and lightning with the number nine and five.

The sacred texts of Lingbao Tianzun also describe him as the master of heaven and earth, the origin of creation, the pivot of yin and yang, and the progenitor of thunder.

As for the precious edict of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, although it does not directly describe the power of thunder, it does describe the creation of all heavens and the origin of all paths.

Among all the myriad paths, the Great Dao of Thunder is naturally included. The creation of all the heavens is inseparable from thunder. Pangu used the Heavenly Thunder to break through the chaos, and then used the Great Dao of Power to drive the Heaven-Opening Axe to create the world.

If the struggle among the Great Luo Immortals is still confined to the timeline, then the struggle among the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals is already a struggle involving the origin of the Great Dao!

Among the many chaotic Great Daos, there will be mutual repulsion, but with the means of a sage, it is not difficult to extract a part of the imagery from the origin of the Great Dao!

Therefore, if Taiqing Laozi and others were to learn that Xuan Yin had attained the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, they would very likely take advantage of his stable foundation to launch a struggle for the Great Dao and steal the Guixu Great Dao imagery.

At this time, if there were a spiritual treasure that matched the Great Dao of Returning to the Void, and Xuan Yin were to use it, then Xuan Yin would naturally be able to maintain his foundation of the Great Dao.

"I see!"

Xuan Yin suddenly realized, then asked in confusion, "Did Taiqing Laozi, after his second attainment of the Dao of Alchemy, forge a new treasure for proving his Dao?"

As far as he knew, Laozi of Taiqing had two treasures for proving the Dao: one was the Taiji Diagram, and the other was the Tongchen Yin-Yang Dao Fan, which was connected to the origin of the primordial world.

But these two treasures for proving the Dao don't seem to be very compatible with the Great Dao of Alchemy.

"Perhaps!"

Lingbao Tianzun laughed and said, "However, that fellow Taiqing Laozi likes to hide his talents. Before he actively reveals himself, no one knows what kind of Dao-proving treasure he has forged!"

"But it's the Primordial Beginning—"

"He now possesses two treasures for proving his Dao: the Primordial Pearl of Fuli and the Pangu Banner. However, if he temporarily abandons the pursuit of the Great Dao of Origin and instead cultivates the Dao of Body Treasures, he might attempt to forge weapons with his own body!"

The one who understands you best is not your friend, but your enemy. Lingbao Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun are both rivals and friends. Looking at the entire Primordial Realm, even Dao Ancestor Hongjun would not dare to say that he understands Yuanshi Tianzun better than Lingbao Tianzun!

Therefore, Lingbao Tianzun easily deduced the alternative plan of Yuanshi Tianzun!

"The Way of Body Treasure?"

Xuan Yin was startled, and then a look of doubt appeared on his face. When he was discussing the Dao with Huanglong Zhenren, he had heard Huanglong Zhenren mention the Great Dao of Body Treasure, but he knew what it was but not why it was so. He only knew that the existence of the Great Dao of Body Treasure made one's physical body far superior to that of ordinary cultivators.

Huanglong Zhenren is one such example.

Despite not possessing any particularly impressive innate spiritual treasures, his physical body was in no way inferior to that of the great witches of the witch clan, and only slightly inferior to the twelve ancestral witches.

"The core of the Way of Body Treasure is self-cultivation, treating oneself as the embryo to be forged!"

Lingbao Tianzun explained, "According to Yuanshi's deductions, the limit of the Body Treasure Path is a physical body comparable to Pangu's body, comparable to an ordinary Chaos Spiritual Treasure, and capable of withstanding the power of a Primordial Treasure!"

"but----"

"The most suitable candidates for this path are actually the Twelve Ancestral Witches. The Primordial Celestial Venerable needs the essence of the Twelve Ancestral Witches to prove the perfection of Pangu's physical body; otherwise, there will inevitably be flaws!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin immediately nodded. From Lingbao Tianzun's words, he roughly understood why Yuanshi Tianzun had targeted the Wu Clan and the Wuren lineage in the past twenty cycles of reincarnation.

The Twelve Golden Immortals correspond to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and their purpose is to seize the fortune of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

As for the Wu Clan and the Wuren lineage, it is highly likely that they want to force Houtu, who has entered the cycle of reincarnation, to take action, so as to obtain the complete origin of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

In the past twenty cycles of reincarnation, the reincarnation of Houtu was an unchanging trend, while Gonggong, the ancestral witch of water, was sealed by the combined forces of saints except for Yuanshi Tianzun after he broke Buzhou Mountain.

The purpose!

Naturally, it was to prevent Yuanshi Tianzun from obtaining the complete origins and fortune of the Twelve Ancestral Witches!

Of course, there were some unexpected events during those twenty cycles of reincarnation. For example, the Ancestral Witch Xuanming was saved by Houtu during several cycles of reincarnation.

Later, Yuanshi Tianzun used Xuanyuan to target the Wuren lineage behind Chiyou, and also used Zhuanxu to target the Great Wu Jiufeng. This was undoubtedly a scheme to scheme against Houtu and obtain the origin of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Including allowing Taiyi Zhenren to obtain the power of the underworld and making Huang Feihu the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, all of these were attempts to provoke Houtu's nerves and make her take action, so as to create a suitable excuse for them to take action!

Houtu's transformation into the cycle of reincarnation is an immense merit. Without a suitable pretext, even if Yuanshi Tianzun is a Heavenly Dao Saint and the true descendant of Pangu, it would be unwise to rashly attack him. A slight misstep could provoke the other Heavenly Dao Saints to join forces against him.

In the primordial true world, only names and artifacts cannot be given to others. Reputation is sometimes unimportant, but sometimes a suitable excuse is needed.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Yuanshi Tianzun was quite protective of his reputation.

Even when bullying the weak, they will first find an excuse. For example, killing Bixiao was an excuse for disrespecting saints and elders.

While Bixiao's recklessness, impatience, and careless remarks contributed to this, ultimately it was because Yuanshi Tianzun needed an excuse.

Otherwise, in the Primordial Realm, there are many who do not respect saints. For example, the Wu Clan only respects Pangu and there are really few who revere saints. So, does he intend to destroy the entire Wu Clan by himself?

"The Way of Body Treasure!"

Hearing Lingbao Tianzun's words, Xuan Yin immediately fell into deep thought. If he wanted to prove the Origin Great Dao, the best time would be when Yuanshi Tianzun proved the Body Treasure Great Dao. At that time, Yuanshi Tianzun would be too busy to care for himself, so how could he have the mind to hinder him?

But we don’t know when Yuanshi Tianzun plans to attain the Great Dao.

Moreover, although Xuan Yin's plan is to prove the return to the void and the origin, he is not really confident enough to prove the Great Dao of the Origin!

Of the four major systems of immortals, demons, gods, and Buddhas, he is now closest to the origin of the demonic path and the divine path. The former is to prepare to inherit Luo's Dao fruit, while the latter is to evolve the dark side of the divine path.

As for the path of immortality, although he was ranked among the Nine Immortals of Hunyuan, he was preceded by Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Five Immortal Ancestors of Zhoutian!

No need to think about it for now!

As for Buddhism and Taoism, needless to say, they are ranked thirty-sixth in the succession sequence!

Do not!

When Shakyamuni appeared out of nowhere, he pushed him down one place, and now he ranks thirty-seventh, making him the furthest from the origin among the four major systems.

"If I'm not confident enough to attain the Primordial Dao in the short term, the best course of action is to delay the time it takes for the Primordial Heavenly Venerable to attain the Body Treasure Dao. I'll wait until I'm sufficiently confident before letting him attain it, to prevent him from causing trouble while I'm attaining the Primordial Dao!"

Having cultivated for hundreds of years, Xuan Yin had long since adapted to the ways of life in the Primordial True World. If he couldn't make progress in a short time, then dragging others down was a good idea!

All the saints did this, so he could naturally follow suit and use certain means to delay the time for the Primordial Heavenly Venerable to attain the second stage of enlightenment!

The most crucial thing right now is to figure out when Yuanshi Tianzun plans to attain his second proof.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look towards the river of time and space, where there was a Great Luo Imprint at a certain point in time near the end of all ages.

That's the aura of the Jade Purity Dao!

"Shen Gongbao!"

Long ago, Xuan Yin had heard from the Ancestral Dragon that this calamity star had been suppressed in the North Sea and the East Sea respectively.

However, he was worried that there might be a scheme by Yuanshi Tianzun, so for a long time he had not had any intention of contacting Shen Gongbao.

But at this moment, he has already attained the Dao of Chaos Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Relying on the Earthly Dao, he is immortal and indestructible, so naturally he no longer needs to fear any calamity star!

Thinking of this, Xuan Yin immediately sent a thought away towards the timeline near the end of all worlds, when Shen Gongbao's Great Luo Mark was about to disappear.
