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

Chapter 386 [Borrowing Power from Divine Beings to Fill Gaps]

Jin'ao Island.

Xuan Yin was originally using the laws of the earth to perfect his own Dao of Law, but a primordial spiritual treasure on his body suddenly revealed a faint light.

The light was extremely faint and inconspicuous, but Xuan Yin was now a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, and his divine sense was as vast as the ocean, covering the universe. Not to mention the commotion around him, the entire Jin'ao Island, and even the entire East China Sea, were all within the range of his divine sense.

"The Qiankun Bowl?"

After Xuan Yin took out the innate spiritual treasure again, he frowned slightly and then used the Dao Yi Seal and the profound mysteries of the innate Bagua to deduce the cause and effect of heaven.

This top-grade innate spiritual treasure originated from Yaochi. It was the price that Xuan Yin paid when Yaochi attained the Dao Fruit of Fuxi, in which she made him go easy on her.

At that time, even top-grade innate spiritual treasures were of little use to him, so he never refined the Qiankun Bowl.

Looking at the Qiankun Bowl, which was emitting a faint light, Xuan Yin suddenly realized, "This situation can only mean that the Qiankun Ancestor has been resurrected!"

Although the previous owner of this superior innate spiritual treasure was Yaochi, after Yaochi took the initiative to trade it to Xuanyin, the karmic connection between her and this spiritual treasure was completely severed!

As for the previous master, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he would not get involved in unnecessary karma, otherwise he would not have distributed spiritual treasures at the Treasure Distribution Rock!

Currently, the only ones who can sense the Qiankun Bowl are its current owner, Xuan Yin, and the Qiankun Ancestor who crafted this spiritual treasure!

In the primordial world, apart from the Qiankun Cauldron, a supreme innate treasure evolved from the Chaos Green Lotus, all other innate spiritual treasures of the Qiankun lineage were crafted by the Qiankun Ancestor and used the Qiankun Cauldron to reverse the innate nature.

Qiankun Bowl, Qiankun Ruler, Qiankun Diagram, Qiankun Fan, Qiankun Needle, Qiankun Ring —

Any innate spiritual treasure whose name contains the characters "Qiankun" can be traced back to the Qiankun Ancestor if the cause and effect are investigated!

At this time, Xuan Yin also learned from Xuan Du and Shen Gongbao that the River of Time and Space had revealed a corner of itself after Yuanshi Tianzun descended on Shouyang Mountain, and even affected the entire Bajing Palace.

"Looks like my second senior uncle is getting restless again!"

Even a fool could tell that this matter was related to Yuanshi Tianzun.

After he became a Daoist Saint and attained the Great Golden Immortal of Hunyuan, the balance of power between the Chan and Jie sects was completely reversed!

If Yuanshi Tianzun did not want to lose the battle for the Great Dao, he would definitely do something. This was something that Xuan Yin and Tongtian Jiaozhu had long anticipated.

only----

Before the Qiankun Bowl generated a response, Xuan Yin had never imagined that Yuanshi Tianzun would dare to get involved in karma related to Daozu Hongjun!

But in an instant, Xuan Yin understood the benefits of Yuanshi Tianzun doing this!

"The Qiankun Cauldron!"

Given Dao Ancestor Hongjun's personality, if Qiankun Ancestor were to return and ask him for his companion spiritual treasure, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would certainly not refuse.

Xuan Yin had once coveted this innate treasure, which could reverse one's innate nature. Whoever possessed it would have mastered the path to ascending to the Great Luo Immortal Realm.

The rise of Buddhism and Taoism was precisely because the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Immortal Path did not have enough suitable innate spiritual treasures to sever the Three Corpses.

If the Qiankun Cauldron were to fall into the primordial world, it would inevitably affect the great rise of Buddhism and Taoism.

In order to repay the karmic debts in the West and to address the inevitable trend of the decline of immortals and the rise of Buddhas, Dao Ancestor Hongjun naturally did not want anyone to control the Qiankun Cauldron!

Although this treasure is not as powerful as the Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and Chaos Bell in terms of offensive capabilities, its value far surpasses that of the Three Treasures of Creation!

"Now that the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth has returned, the Ancestor of Yin and Yang has most likely returned as well!"

With just a little deduction, Xuan Yin roughly understood the current situation, but the matter was already settled, and he had no way to stop it.

but----

He has his own way of dealing with it.

If the Qiankun Cauldron falls into the hands of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, it will inevitably affect the flourishing of Buddhism and Taoism. He could easily inform the two Western Saints about this.

In this way, during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, the two Western Saints will completely side with the Jie Sect!

This is a good thing!

After having the idea, Xuan Yin did not hesitate. After confirming the cause and effect, he asked the World Free King Buddha to contact the Guide Daoist.

"What?"

Upon learning of this, the Guide Daoist was greatly astonished and exclaimed in disbelief, "That Yuanshi fellow actually resurrected the Ancestor of Qiankun?"

Daoist Zhunti gritted his teeth and said, "If the Qiankun Cauldron falls into the hands of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, he will surely use its power to win over those Great Luo Golden Immortals who lack innate spiritual treasures and have severed their corpses!"

"This is jeopardizing the future of the West!"

"Senior brother!"

"There's no time to lose. Let's join forces with Xuan Yin and Tong Tian, ​​storm Mount Kunlun, and force Yuanshi Tianzun to hand over the true spirit of Qiankun Laozu!"

He was also skilled in the Dao of Cause and Effect, and after being reminded by the Buddha of the Worldly Freedom, he instantly realized that the Ancestor of Qiankun had returned!

Although the Ancestor Qiankun has returned, the Qiankun Cauldron is still in the hands of the Dao Ancestor, who still has the opportunity to attack the Ancestor Qiankun's true spirit.

"No!"

The guide quickly intervened, saying, "We don't yet know what the Dao Ancestor's attitude is."

"The fact that he didn't prevent the return of Yin and Yang, and Qian and Kun, means that for him, the return of Yin and Yang, and Qian and Kun, wasn't entirely a bad thing!"

"Building closer ties with Tongtian and Xuanyin isn't a problem, but taking direct action could drive Yuanshi Tianzun into madness!"

"We still need to plan this carefully!"

Although the Guide Daoist was not as impulsive as the Zhunti Daoist, after learning about this matter, he couldn't help but want to get closer to Xuan Yin and Tong Tian.

After a moment's thought, the Guide continued, "The key now is to first understand Taiqing Laozi's thoughts and stance, and see if he firmly stands on the side of Yuanshi Tianzun."

"If it were just Yuanshi Tianzun alone, even if he obtained the Qiankun Cauldron, we could join forces to force him to temporarily seal it!"

"If Laozi (the Supreme Pure One) also intends to prevent the rise of Buddhism and Taoism, and colludes with Yuanshi Tianzun (the Primordial Heavenly Venerable), then it is time for us to unite with the Jie Sect!"

He planned to go to Shouyang Mountain first to test the attitude of Taiqing Laozi.

On the other hand, after informing the two Western Saints that the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth had returned and that the Primordial Celestial Venerable might obtain the innate treasure, the Qiankun Cauldron, Xuan Yin asked the Tongtian Sect Leader for the Six Soul Banner.

The message was given to the two Western Saints only to sow discord between them and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. When it came to actually taking action, they would have to rely on themselves!

Xuan Yin was always cautious and never placed his hopes on others.

Originally, Xuan Yin intended to use the Six Soul Banner on the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, but now that he has achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Primordial Chaos, he can easily kill the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect even without the Six Soul Banner, so there is no need to waste this Heavenly Dao Ferocious Treasure!

However, Yin Yang and Qian Kun are worthy of Xuan Yin's use of the Heavenly Dao's malevolent treasure.

Since Yuanshi Tianzun could use the Heavenly Dao Ferocious Treasure to suppress and kill Styx Daoist, he could also use the Heavenly Dao Ferocious Treasure to kill Yin Yang and Qian Kun at a crucial moment.

Of course, since Dao Ancestor Hongjun had just issued a decree that sages must not attack those below the sage level, he would naturally not openly disobey the Dao Ancestor's decree.

After he refines this treasure, he can hand it over to Zhao Gongming for use.

Zhao Gongming now controls the wealth of the Primordial True Realm and has no shortage of fortune, making him the most suitable person to activate the Six Soul Banner, a spiritual treasure that requires the consumption of fortune.

After writing the true names of Yin Yang and Qian Kun on the Six Soul Banner, Xuan Yin used the power of the Void to refine this magical artifact.

Then he went to Zhao Gongming.

At this moment, Zhao Gongming's immortal cultivation level was still that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, but his divine cultivation level had already reached the Divine Second Realm.

Equivalent to a Quasi-Saint with Two Corpses!

Even in the ancient divine era, very few beings could achieve this.

Only the Five Emperors of the Primordial Era, Lady Ziguang, Zhuzhao, Youying, and Lord Taishan, among other top-tier divine beings, have reached this level.

As for the Saint Yi above it, only the Three Sovereigns of antiquity, Emperor Hong (the predecessor of Dao Ancestor Hongjun), and the current Donghuang Taiyi have ever reached it.

It must be said that Zhao Gongming, who comprehended the way of wealth and gathered the wealth of all living beings, has a talent in the divine path that surpasses his talent in the immortal path.

During this period, the money tree, a superior innate spiritual root bestowed upon him by the Goddess Nuwa, transformed into an extremely superior innate spiritual root under the nourishment of wealth.

Looking at the almost tangible Dao of Wealth emanating from Zhao Gongming, Xuan Yin couldn't help but laugh, "The laws of the Dao are never fixed. Given time, the Five Elements of the Innate Realm may very well transform into the Six Elements!"

The Five Primordial Elements are the Five Great Paths of Qi, Calamity, End, Interception, and Slaughter, all of which have given birth to the Chaos God.

Although no one can wield these Great Daos because they are immortal, the Tongtian Sect Master, by taking advantage of the characteristics of the Lord of the End, extracted some profound mysteries from these Great Daos.

As a result, there are quite a few disciples in the Jie Sect who cultivate these five great paths.

However, within the entire Jie Sect, only Zhao Gongming innovated and evolved a completely new Great Dao based on the Five Elements Great Dao of the Primordial Chaos!

Good fortune!

As Zhao Gongming broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, this acquired path had been transformed into the innate path, which was sufficient for people to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"Then I'll take your kind words, Junior Brother!"

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "Junior brother, you've achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm before me. I wonder if you could offer me some guidance on the path to wealth?"

Saints and Great Luos are beings from completely different dimensions. Saints have a lofty and commanding path, and even a casual guidance from a Great Luo can bring them immeasurable benefits.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin immediately smiled and said, "Senior Brother, have you considered using someone else's strength?"

To be honest, his talent was initially inferior to that of the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, Zhao Gongming, and others. The reason he was able to surpass them was due to the profound knowledge and support of Zulong, Yuanfeng, Shiqilin, and Luo.

If he hadn't directly inherited the Dao fruits of the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the First Qilin, he would have wasted countless more years in the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

Luo's sacrificial method involved offering a sacrifice to Pangu's true form when he entered Pangu's abode, allowing his Great Luo Flower to bloom with twelve petals.

In addition, the Taixiao Origin bestowed by the Tongtian Sect Master and the Buzhou Mountain God appointed by the Cangli Clan also provided him with great help.

Of the three thousand great paths, the one that is devoured is supreme!

If he hadn't devoured so many powerful beings, how could he have become a Dao Saint so quickly, and then used the power of the Dao to attain the Primordial Golden Immortal?

Although Zhao Gongming was able to gather the wealth of all living beings, his foundation was still somewhat lacking, far inferior to the first generation of innate saints in the Primordial True Realm.

Besides Xuan Yin, among the true disciples of the Jie Sect, the one with the deepest foundation is Daoist Duobao, who has cultivated the Great Luo Flower to the ninth grade and has also cultivated both Buddhist and demonic paths.

However, his path to enlightenment will be in the future, after Buddhism and Taoism flourish. Right now, he cannot fully transform his accumulated resources into cultivation!

Secondly, there is the Golden Spirit Mother. Although she is only an eighth-grade Great Luo Flower, she may be able to rebuild her foundation after being dyed by Lady Ziguang.

after all----

Lady Ziguang was the first innate deity of the primordial world. Ziwei and Gouchen were born from her, and her own primordial power was boundless.

The so-called "Dao Ran" means to transform everything about another person into one's own essence.

If the Golden Spirit Mother can completely grasp the concept of the Purple Light Lady and acquire her essence, she will still have a chance to glimpse the realm of Hunyuan Daluo in the future!

Then comes Our Lady of Wudang!

The Holy Mother of Wudang cultivates both the immortal and divine paths. She is both a Great Luo Immortal and a Limitless Holy Ancestor of the Divine Path. Her place of transformation is also closely related to the Earth Path.

If he can comprehend the Dao of Wuji to its fullest extent and occupy the position of Wuji in the Earthly Dao, he may well become a Saint of the Earthly Dao like Xuan Yin.

Yunxiao, on the other hand, possesses a clear Dao mind and has an extremely high talent for severing the three corpses. In each era, he is able to sever the three corpses before the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

As the eldest of the Three Immortals, Yunxiao's talent is beyond doubt. She split the earth and opened the sky to achieve Dao, refined her true form on the Three Immortal Islands, discarded all six qi and three corpses, left the Jade Capital with the Azure Phoenix at a short distance, took control of the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, and comprehended the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation. Her Dao is not just talk.

Qiongxiao and Bixiao's aptitude is not much different from Yunxiao's, but because their Dao hearts are not settled, their cultivation is far inferior to their elder sister Yunxiao.

Zhao Gongming's ability to become sworn brothers with the three men suggests that he is quite talented, but it also depends on who he is compared to. He is definitely no match for Zhen Yuanzi and Minghe.

However, after attaining the Great Luo, one can use the characteristics of the Great Luo to acquire other divine concepts, and there is also an opportunity to change one's origins.

"Leveraging resources?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "How could I not have thought of that? But in the primordial world, there are very few who align with my Great Dao!"

"Junior brother, do you know when I gained consciousness and when I took human form?"

Xuan Yin was immediately taken aback.

He only knew that Zhao Gongming was born from the innate pure wind, but he had never paid attention to when he developed consciousness or when he took human form.

However, he is now a Primordial Golden Immortal, and with a little deduction, Zhao Gongming's experiences are as simple as reading the lines on the palm of one's hand.

But before he could deduce the truth, Zhao Gongming spoke up, saying, "I was born with intelligence when the ancient sun god Zhuzhao fell. As the sun's essence fell, a gentle breeze arose; when Zhuzhao fell, a torrent of fire descended from the sky. It was that essence of the fire that awakened my intelligence!"

"Afterwards, I absorbed and exhaled primordial spiritual energy day and night, and only then was I able to take human form when the Dao Ancestor became a saint!"

"The one most suited to my Daoist path is actually the one who awakened my spirit, Zhuzhao!"

"but----"

"But I can't do that!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin's face immediately showed a look of understanding, and he sighed softly, "No wonder that fellow Lu Jun would use Lu Ya's name to plot against you, Senior Brother, in the original Heavenly Dao's grand scheme!"

Although Zhao Gongming was born from the essence of the sun, he somehow managed to steal the fortune belonging to the sun and the golden crow lineage.

Lu Jun is a sacred being of fire, the essence of fire, and naturally desires the power of Zhuzhao. Any being who wants to compete with him for power is his enemy.

Now that the source of the Candlelight has been refined by Taiyi and Xihe has become the Sun Mother, there is naturally no need for Lu Jun and Zhao Gongming to compete for it anymore!

However, even if he does not vie for the power of the Candle Illumination, Zhao Gongming may still be able to intervene in the divine path evolved by Taiyi or the new human path evolved by Fuxi!

In Xuan Yin's view, Zhao Gongming's way of making money has both the wonder of the divine way and the imagery of the human way, and he is fully capable of competing for the authority of the divine way and the human way!

Given time, with the blessing of the innate path to wealth and the wealth of all beings, he may very well become a divine saint or a saint of humanity!

This is what he meant by leveraging resources!
