Primordial Era: Reborn as Taiyi, I Don't Need Brothers

Chapter 37 The Strange Bai Ze and the Fourteenth-Rank Golden Lotus

Bai Ze!

A high-ranking official of the Heavenly Court!

Its true form resembles a sheep, and it can see through the secrets of heaven. It was originally one of the few strategists of Taiyi and Dijun.

Bai Ze was involved in many important events.

This includes establishing the demon race, slaughtering the human race, and luring Hou Yi into a trap, culminating in the final battle.

Bai Ze, who had done all this, actually survived the final battle.

Now, Bai Ze came to Taiyi alone, asking him to establish a clan and protect all the races of the prehistoric world.

Taiyi's expression was quite amused! This Bai Ze clearly has some issues.

"Bai Ze, I have already established the Heavenly Court, so why should I establish a race? The purpose of my Heavenly Court is to maintain the operation of the primordial world, not to protect the myriad races of the primordial world. Besides, aren't the myriad races of the primordial world doing well now? Why do they need my protection?" Taiyi looked at Bai Ze and asked in a tone that was neither sad nor happy.

"God Ancestor, you are mistaken. In the present primordial world, the Witch Clan is the most powerful. All twelve Ancestral Witches are Great Luo Golden Immortals. There are even some Ancestral Witches who have received God Ancestor's blessings but do not think of repaying them. They actually dare to try to rule the primordial world with the power of their clan. If such a clan is left unchecked, it will definitely pose a threat to your position in the future." Bai Ze tentatively provoked Taiyi's anger towards the Witch Clan.

Taiyi neither confirmed nor denied this, but still wanted to see what Bai Ze was up to, so Taiyi spoke up.

"Houtu has indeed not returned for some time! The Wu tribe's actions were truly self-destructive!"

"Divine Ancestor Rong Bing, the Wu Clan, relying on their lineage to Pangu, believes that the primordial world should be under their control. At this time, all races in the primordial world are oppressed by the Wu Clan. As long as you raise your arm, all races will surely gather under your command. At that time, under your leadership, suppressing the Wu Clan will be a piece of cake!" Bai Ze advised.

"But suppressing the Witch Clan is as easy as turning my hand for me now!" Taiyi's words left Bai Ze dumbfounded.

That's right. Taiyi is a Hunyuan powerhouse. Even the twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan are only Daluo at this time. Even if their fortune and cultivation increased due to the establishment of the Witch Clan, even the twelve Quasi-Saints would not be a match for Taiyi.

silence!

Bai Ze was at a loss for words.

Fame and fortune! All are in Taiyi's hands! Is there really any benefit to establishing the demon race?

"Divine Ancestor, a few days ago I was comprehending the secrets of heaven and discovered that the Witch Clan has a great formation called the Great Formation of the Heavenly Gods and Demons. The Twelve Ancestral Witches can use this formation to summon the true body of Pangu. Its power even surpasses that of ordinary saints. The Witch Clan has such a formation. Our Heavenly Court must be on guard!" After a period of silence, Bai Ze revealed this secret!

These words deepened Taiyi's wariness of Bai Ze.

"Could this guy also be a time traveler? Otherwise, how would he know these secrets?"

However, Taiyi did not press the matter further, but instead waved for Bai Ze to leave, saying, "Go down, I have my own plans for this!"

Bai Ze opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he left.

Taiyi looked in the direction Bai Ze had left and fell into deep thought!

"This guy's obviously got something going on inside!"

Taiyi was very curious about Bai Ze's secret, but he wasn't in a hurry to solve it. The prey had already appeared; as long as he observed carefully, he would surely be able to discover the clues.

The role of an exposed traitor is incredibly important!

After Bai Ze left!

Taiyi finally had time to take stock of what he had gained over this period!

At this moment, a bright, radiant celestial book, containing peculiar energy, floated quietly in Taiyi's hand!

The heavenly book slowly unfolded, and then names appeared on it one by one!

At the very front of the list is none other than Wang Shu, the ruler of the Heavenly Court!

Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of all earth immortals!

Fuxi, the legendary emperor...

One by one, names appeared, and they were none other than the great gods of the Shinto Path!

This scroll is naturally the Investiture of the Gods!

At the highest point of the Heavenly Court, there is nothing else but the Heavenly Book, the Investiture of the Gods!

All the Dao fruits bestowed by Taiyi, or the deities appointed by imperial decree, will appear on this Investiture of the Gods! And Taiyi, who has refined the Investiture of the Gods, can use it to comprehend their Dao and observe their state.

Just like the Primordial Purple Qi, the Dao Fruit can be bestowed, and it can also be taken back!

This is actually a way for Taiyi to check and balance his subordinates! He may not use it the day before, but he cannot ignore it for even a day!

Bai Ze's suggestion was correct. If Taiyi weren't far superior to the Wu Clan, they would definitely be wary of the Wu Clan. But for now, let's observe and see!

The Upper Three Heavens are three worlds!

Taiyi named it Ancestral God Heaven!

At the heart of this Ancestral God Heaven lies a vast lake! Within this lake grows a golden lotus!

The golden lotus swayed, and the fourteenth flower bloomed! It was actually a top-grade Golden Wheel of Merit, surpassing the twelfth grade.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the golden liquid flowing throughout the entire lake is none other than merit and fortune!

At the center of the fourteenth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit, the Treasure-Dropping Coin fluttered its wings, constantly taking out and collecting merit from time to time!

With the promotion of merit coins, the Heavenly Court's merit and fortune began to increase at an alarming rate. To be precise, it wasn't the Heavenly Court itself that was growing!

It is Taiyi!

After all, the Treasure-Dropping Coin belonged to Taiyi. Taiyi used his magic to project a clone of the Treasure-Dropping Coin into the exchange point set up in the Primordial World.

Each exchange incurs a loss of only one-thousandth!

Although it may not seem like much, it circulates quickly and is exchanged frequently.

A century has passed in a flash!

Fortune forms a lake, and merit flows like water.

Planting the twelve-tiered golden wheel of merit is a perfect match! They complement and reinforce each other.

As the name suggests, the Golden Wheel of Merit is a being that can advance in rank by absorbing and exhaling merit!

However, since 12th-grade merit is already considered a top-grade innate spiritual root, and the next step is a chaotic spiritual root, the required merit is enormous!

But for Taiyi, accumulating merit is only a matter of time.

However, it is clear that Taiyi underestimated the amount of merit required for a top-grade spiritual root to advance to a chaotic spiritual root.

"This merit is a bit insufficient!" Taiyi frowned, looking at the twelve-petaled golden lotus that was constantly absorbing and releasing merit. At this moment, the golden lotus was no longer twelve-petaled, but had become fourteen-petaled! This was already the limit of the innate realm. To break through, the existing merit was not enough.

"I need to find a way to absorb more merit and fortune!" Taiyi frowned and thought. Although it was already rare to break through to the fourteenth rank in a hundred years, the speed at which fortune and merit accumulates will tend to be stable as time goes on.

To achieve a breakthrough, we need even better policies!

As Taiyi frowned in thought, a cloud telescope flew in from afar. It was a communication method constructed by the red cloud, combining its own characteristics. It used clouds as base stations to transmit short messages.

"Divine Ancestor, two cultivators named Jieyin and Zhunti have arrived outside the Heavenly Court. They brought some local specialties and said they wanted to express their gratitude for your kindness. Should we allow them to enter?"
