Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 95 Hunyuan Sword

In the Pure Heaven, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi sat facing each other. Hongyun recounted to Zhenyuanzi the events of Hongjun's previous visit to the Pure Heaven.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi was speechless with astonishment, exclaiming in disbelief, "Teacher said you should devour the primordial world?"

Hongyun nodded and said, "I did not agree to him."

"So you refused?"

"No, not at all."

"What is it?" Zhen Yuanzi asked.

Hongyun smiled wryly and said, "I don't know what to do right now. I need some time to think it over."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi remained silent for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Devouring the primordial chaos.

These words, spoken by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, represent the will of Heaven.

The primordial Heavenly Dao actually allowed the red cloud to devour the world; this seems utterly unbelievable and almost impossible.

But it actually happened.

Hongyun had to think deeply about the reasons behind it; she couldn't just agree immediately.

Although Zhen Yuanzi was worried, there was nothing he could do at this point, after all, that was Hongjun Daozu.

The embodiment of the Way of Heaven.

For these saints, it was difficult to go against their wishes.

Hongyun then returned to Mingdao Palace and began her seclusion. Sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, a precious sword appeared before her with a thought.

This sword, however, is the Primordial Chaos Sword. Unlike other supreme treasures, the sword itself does not possess distinct attributes.

For example, the Tai Chi symbol embodies the principles of Yin and Yang, and can suppress earth, water, fire, and wind.

The Pangu Banner is the most powerful offensive weapon among all the innate treasures, and its destructive power surpasses even the God-Slaying Spear!

There's also the Chaos Bell that Zhunti just obtained, which is both offensive and defensive, and also adept at suppressing spacetime.

In addition, there are Zhen Yuanzi's God-Slaying Spear, Nuwa's Qiankun Cauldron, and Hongyun's own Creation Cauldron, Qiankun Pearl, and so on.

Each innate treasure has its own attributes and various effects.

However, this Hunyuan Sword has no obvious attributes, or rather, its biggest characteristic and attribute is that it has no attributes.

That is why it can carry all kinds of great principles and laws.

In this respect, it is somewhat similar to the world's way of Hongyun, which can also accommodate and bear various Taoist methods.

While Hongyun absorbed the Hunyuan Sword into his primordial spirit and silently tempered it, he was also deeply pondering Hongjun's decision to have him devour the primordial world.

This is no small matter, but if it is true, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous opportunity for Hongyun.

The Primordial World is an endless world created by the Great God Pangu from chaos, possessing immense potential.

In the future, it may even devour the entire boundless chaos, thereby replacing chaos and ascending to become an incredible world.

Of course, the possibility of that is not very high.

Because, based on what Hongyun knew from his previous life, and given the current conditions of the prehistoric world, it would be very difficult to develop to that level.

The legends Hongyun knew in his previous life told him that the primordial world was destroyed in the Great War of the Gods during the Investiture of the Gods.

The primordial world was divided into four. After that, each eon in the primordial world became weaker than the last, and cultivation became increasingly difficult.

In the end, it even degenerated into the Dharma-ending Age.

Of course, the truth remains unknown. After all, regarding the collapse of Mount Buzhou, the primordial world doesn't seem to have undergone any significant changes.

In the ancient novels of the past, it was described that after this great calamity, because Mount Buzhou collapsed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to transform from innate spiritual energy into acquired spiritual energy.

However, the innate spiritual energy between heaven and earth is still abundant, and there has been no such change at all.

Clearly, those novels from my previous life were ultimately just fiction. They can't be taken entirely as fact.

However, the primordial world had lost the protection of the great god Pangu, and it was still unrealistic to expect it to devour the vast and endless chaos.

To put it another way, if the primordial world truly possessed this ability, then Hongjun Daozu, as the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, would not have approached him and spoken those words to him.

"Ugh!"

Hongyun sighed, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but she couldn't reach a conclusion, so she put the matter aside for the time being.

Ultimately, it came down to his own lack of strength. Hongjun put too much pressure on him.

The specifics of this matter are not something I can decide right now. If Hongjun comes to me again later, we'll discuss it then.

……

Time passed slowly, and before long, countless years had gone by. In the primordial world, Haotian became the new Heavenly Emperor because of Hongjun's investiture.

Although at the very beginning, all living beings in the world, especially the powerful figures from all sides, did not submit.

However, after a long period of time, Haotian used various imperial methods to gradually pacify the world and secure his position as the ruler of the Three Realms.

However, despite this, Haotian was not resigned to his fate, partly because his status and identity had changed.

He was no longer the little attendant beside the Dao Ancestor, but had become the supreme ruler of the Three Realms, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor.

Naturally, his ambitions also began to emerge. He not only wanted to rule the Three Realms, but also had higher aspirations for his own strength.

This also involves another aspect, namely the saints, and their disciples' disregard for, and even trampling upon, the laws of the Heavenly Court.

Among them, the Humanist Sect, the Confucian Sect, and the Earth Immortal Sect are one thing, but the disciples of these three sects are nominal disciples in name only.

Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi's true disciples all stayed by their side to cultivate in the Pure Heaven.

The disciples of the three sects in the primordial world only received their teachings and were related to them by blood or marriage; they could only be considered disciples of the three sects by a token degree.

Moreover, Hongyun also granted Haotian the authority to recruit disciples of both the Human and Confucian schools into the Heavenly Court in his own name.

Haotian had no objection to this.

But while the disciples of the three major religions acted this way, the disciples of the other major religions were all going too far.

Aside from the Taoist sect led by the Sage Taiqing, who had only one disciple, the Grand Master Xuandu, the disciples of the Chan Sect, Jie Sect, and Buddhism were all more lawless than the last.

The disciples of the Chan Sect, in particular, all seemed to think they were above everyone else, treating the Heavenly Court as if it were their own backyard.

Haotian did have his moments of anger, but since the disciple was from the Chan Sect, he couldn't bring himself to kill him.

The only option is suppression.

But immediately after the suppression, the Chan Sect sent someone to convey the decree of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, ordering him to release the people.

What else can Haotian do?

Naturally, we had no choice but to let it go.

However, this was not the end of it. Yuanshi Tianzun was not exactly magnanimous; since Haotian dared to suppress his disciple, Yuanshi Tianzun was determined to retaliate.

Therefore, many schemes were devised for Haotian and the Heavenly Court.

During this process, Haotian suffered greatly. He harbored extreme hatred for Yuanshi Tianzun.

At the same time, he made up his mind to become stronger. Even if he could not become a saint, he would still prove the Dao of Hunyuan.

Once he becomes a Primordial Golden Immortal, he will take revenge for all the humiliations he has suffered.

However, these are all Haotian's affairs now. As for Hongyun, since returning from Zixiao Palace, he has never left Qingjingtian again.

He spends most of his time in seclusion cultivating, and in his spare time he trains his disciples.

Now that the Western Sect is gone, Xuanfeng, Kongxuan, and Xuanpeng have all been recalled, along with Xuanhong, a disciple of the Liren Sect.

Hongyun currently has four disciples, while Zhenyuanzi, who established the Earth Immortal Sect, also has two disciples: Qingfeng and Mingyue.
