Primordial Era: Reborn as a Tortoise, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Chapter 97 Dividing the Mystic Sect, Hongjun's Killing Intent

Space is distorting, time is boiling, and the sea is roaring.

Gui Xuan sat in the void, with endless laws condensing beneath him to form a chair.

It exudes an aura of power and grandeur.

Behind him stood the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, roaring towards the sky!

Gudong!

The six sages of the Xuanmen sect unconsciously swallowed.

fear!

A deep-seated fear arose in Liu Sheng's heart.

too strong!

The aura emanating from Dao Ancestor Guixuan was so powerful that they dared not look directly at him.

These saints, surprisingly, felt a sense of unease about facing each other.

The Zhuxian Sword in Tongtian's hand trembled slightly.

Just now, he almost chopped off the giant tortoise's limbs.

Thankfully, I didn't take action, otherwise...

Tongtian secretly rejoiced.

This is a matter of immense karma!

No matter how hard they racked their brains, they never imagined that this giant black tortoise, which had been floating in the North Sea for countless years, was actually an avatar of this Dao Ancestor.

Are you fishing here?

This was someone who could rival Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and the group of them rushed over excitedly, ready to kill him.

Can you even cut it?!

Zhunti trembled all over, dared not raise his head, and wished he could slap himself to death.

Gui Xuan possessed a magnificent aura, and his indifferent expression carried boundless pressure.

The pressure was so great that the Six Sages of the Xuanmen couldn't even lift their heads!

The moment he appeared, the collapsing primordial world began to change.

The endless waters of the Milky Way actually began to stop overflowing, and the same was true for the primordial sky and the earth.

However, the primordial world is slowly closing down because it no longer has the support of the celestial pillar.

If left unattended for too long, it will eventually close completely, and the primordial world will return to chaos.

The waters of the Milky Way, which had caused the collapse of heaven and earth, were frozen in place, allowing the countless creatures of the primordial world to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Moved by what he felt, he cried out in sorrow, "Forgive me, Ancestor Guixuan!"

"Please, Dao Ancestor Guixuan, save the world!!"

At the foot of Mount Buzhou, Hongjun narrowed his eyes.

Looking at Gui Xuan, who sat upright above the North Sea, through the endless space, a murderous intent filled his heart.

"So you're the real troublemaker!"

"This is your true origin!"

All the past events appeared in Hongjun's mind.

He finally understood what had happened.

He's been wrong all along.

In the darkness under the lamplight, I completely overlooked Beihai.

Suppressing his murderous intent, Hongjun spoke, "The completion of heaven and earth by the Black Tortoise of the North Sea is a predetermined destiny of heaven, and cannot be changed!"

"You must not hesitate to advance because of him, a mere Primordial Golden Immortal who has not yet attained sainthood!"

"Otherwise, if heaven and earth collapse, you will all die!"

Hongjun didn't just say that last sentence to the Six Sages of Xuanmen.

This was also said to Hongyun, as well as the three sages of the underworld: Houtu, Zhenyuanzi, and the Styx Ancestor.

Under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, the primordial spirit of the Earthly Dao Saint also resides in the primordial world!

However, to his disappointment, neither Hongyun nor the Three Saints of the Path were present.

He remained unmoved by what he said.

This disappointed Hongjun and made him extremely wary of Guixuan.

Above the North Sea, Gui Xuan chuckled softly.

"Old man, you still haven't settled the score with me regarding the cause and effect of the conflict between the Dao and the Demon."

"They can't wait to use the hands of several sages from the primordial world to kill me and shirk their karmic responsibilities."

"Your scheming is truly profound."

Gui Xuan's words made the Xuanmen Saint, who had been somewhat restless, instantly realize what was going on.

These are my own teachers; I need to use them to understand the cause and effect of my own actions.

A deep chill ran through their hearts.

Killing a Dao Ancestor-level being, regardless of whether that Dao Ancestor has become a Saint, is a huge karmic consequence.

If they are not careful, countless creatures in the primordial world will harbor resentment, and these saints will also suffer, which may even affect the lineage of the Dao!

The Three Pure Ones were extremely unwilling at this moment.

The orthodox tradition is something they scheme against; if it is truly greatly affected, everything will come to an end.

Hongjun seemed to have seen through their thoughts and added fuel to the fire.

"The billions of living beings in the primordial world besieged Kunlun Mountain, just to make you open the way and seek the holy throne."

"At this time, Gui Xuan has not yet become a saint; killing him would be enough to give an explanation to all living beings in the primordial world!"

"Countless beings throughout the primordial world are eternally grateful!"

Gui Xuan has now become a major threat to him, and he must eliminate him!

And now is the perfect time.

Sizzle~~~

Gui Xuan said with a mocking expression, "The deeper your schemes, the cowardly you become."

"To actually attempt to use your disciple to shield yourself from karmic consequences—is this how a teacher behaves?"

"Aren't you afraid that your six sages of Xuanmen will all betray Xuanmen and establish their own sect?"

Hongjun's expression changed. "You!"

However, Gui Xuan no longer looked at him, but instead gazed at the primordial world.

The moment he appeared, he used his mastery of countless laws to stabilize the collapsing primordial world.

Otherwise, in the instant they spoke, countless creatures in the primordial world would have already perished amidst the upheaval of the world.

With a wave of his hand, a tortoise shell the size of a palm appeared in Guixuan's hand and flew towards Houtu.

"This is the tortoise shell that I shed over countless years; you can use it as a support to mend the hole in the sky."

Houtu's expression was solemn. "Grandmaster Guixuan, have mercy!"

Thirty-six thousand five hundred and one five-colored divine stones appeared and were placed on the tortoise shell by Houtu.

Just as Houtu was preparing to mend the cave in the sky, her hand suddenly stopped. She held a five-colored divine stone in her palm. "It has actually given birth to intelligence. What a wonderful fortune!"

After taking out this five-colored divine stone, Houtu no longer delayed.

At this moment, Hongjun Daozu suddenly spoke up, "Nuwa, mending the sky was your opportunity, but now Houtu has intercepted it, so you will not get any of the merit this time."

Nuwa's expression changed slightly.

In fact, when Houtu took out the Qiankun Cauldron, she felt something was wrong, as if some opportunity was slipping away from her.

Now that Hongjun had explained it to her, she finally understood the reason.

His gaze turned slightly cold as he looked at Houtu below the celestial cave. "Fellow Daoist, this is far too underhanded! You've actually stolen my opportunity!"

Houtu didn't even glance at her, continuing with what she was doing. "How am I, a Saint of the Earthly Path, not of the Earthly Path?"

"It doesn't matter who repairs this hole, just because it's your destiny, I'll just stand by and watch billions of lives die beneath this celestial river."

"Are you waiting for me to understand the secrets of heaven, gather the tools, and then turn the tide?"

boom!

As Houtu spoke, the hole in the sky was completely patched up by 36,500 five-colored divine stones.

The frozen waters of the Milky Way disappeared into the Heavenly Cave.

Nuwa's eyes flashed as she looked at the still raging Milky Way waters on the ground, which had been frozen in place. With a wave of her hand, the magical treasure, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, appeared in her hand.

A tremendous suction force emerged from the Mountain and River Map, drawing in all the water from the Heavenly River on Earth.

After doing all this, Nuwa's aura surged.

"Houtu! You stole my opportunity, take this!"

With that, he flew towards Houtu carrying the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Houtu smirked, "Heaven and earth are damaged and can no longer withstand the attacks of a sage. Let us go to the Chaos to fight!"

With a single step, it soared into the primordial chaos beyond the heavens.

boom!

boom!

Amidst the chaos, battle erupted; the two sages were already locked in combat within the celestial chaos.

The three Qings exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness.

A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.

That's good, now the problem is theirs.

But then they heard the two Western saints, their bodies mutilated, say bitterly, "Master, our true forms have been suppressed. We can't defeat the Dao Ancestor Guixuan..."

Hongjun narrowed his eyes, displeased.

But what they said was true; two early-stage Quasi-Saints with their Three Corpses would only be throwing their lives away if they went.

All his efforts in making arrangements will be in vain.

He gave the two Westerners a look of disdain. "You two go and stabilize the Western ley lines. Don't let them collapse completely!"

The two Western Saints were overjoyed. "Yes!"

Then it disappeared into Beihai in a flash.

Now only the Three Sages of Kunlun remain, and the Three Pure Ones are caught in a dilemma in the void of the North Sea.

Gui Xuan glanced at the Three Pure Ones and then ignored them.

The Three Pure Ones are completely suppressed by Hongjun. If they do not obey Hongjun's orders, Hongjun will definitely not let them off in the future.

But today's events will completely create a rift between them.

This consequence was already anticipated by Gui Xuan.

Hongjun, no longer willing to delay, shouted, "What are you waiting for! Kill him! Use his limbs to open up the closed heaven and earth!"

"You're not even listening to me anymore?!"

boom!

The Three Pure Ones trembled as they felt an immense power of the Heavenly Dao sweeping towards them.

In order to force the three of them to kill Guixuan Daozu, Hongjun Daozu actually used the power of the Heavenly Dao on them!

The chill in Sanqing's heart grew stronger.

Suppressing his discomfort, Taiqing summoned back the Taiji Diagram. Yuanshi Tianzun held the Pangu Banner, while the Four Swords of Zhuxian swirled before Tongtian Jiaozhu.

His gaze turned solemn as he looked at Gui Xuan.

The Sage Taiqing stepped forward, saying, "I am caught in the middle of this situation and have no choice but to accept it. I have offended you greatly; please forgive me, Dao Ancestor Guixuan!"

Without waiting for Gui Xuan's reply, the Taiji diagram flew out of his hand.

The Tai Chi diagram flew in the void, transforming into a golden bridge that connected with the divine power of the Heavenly Dao.

The Pangu Banner flew out, tearing apart the primordial space, evolving into boundless mastery, and unifying all laws and mysteries, carrying endless power as it attacked.

The four swords of Zhuxian, wielding their killing intent, hovered in all directions, instantly forming the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

The three great treasures of the sect's destiny appeared simultaneously, carrying boundless holy power, and disrupting the primordial space-time.

Just as the Three Pure Ones were about to make their move, Guixuan smiled contemptuously, his tone laced with sarcasm, "How come you, the true descendants of Pangu, are not as sensible as Houtu? Are you planning to completely destroy the primordial world?"

Upon hearing this, Sanqing's face suddenly turned red.

Careless.

Under the pressure of Hongjun Daozu, they were in a daze and actually forgot that after Buzhou Mountain collapsed, the world became much more fragile than before.

They simply cannot withstand attacks from saints.

Gui Xuan laughed and said, "Since you want to fight, then I will test the mettle of the three of you; and see what you have learned in Hongjun's Xuanmen over these endless years."

As he spoke, five figures appeared beside him.

It was none other than his five emperor incarnations.

Each of them, holding the Primordial Measuring Ruler, the Five Elements Pagoda, the Treasure-Dropping Coin, the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus, and the Qiankun Cauldron that Houtu had just taken away, flew back.

The five emperors, each with a five-directional flag atop their heads, looked solemnly at the Three Pure Ones.

The Three Pure Ones were startled upon seeing this.

What an intense sense of threat! And this is just a clone!

"Go, and try out the skills of the Xuanmen Sage." Gui Xuan's voice was indifferent.

The five emperors' avatars remained silent, rapidly flying away from the primordial world and heading into chaos.

The three Pure Ones, their faces grave, carried their respective spiritual treasures and flew into the chaos.

However, just as they were about to set off, three voices appeared in their ears.

Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, and the Styx Ancestor suddenly appeared, smiling at the Three Pure Ones. "Since the Dao Ancestor Guixuan is here, we might as well join in the fun."

The Three Pure Ones' faces darkened; this was a prelude to gang up on the three of them!

snort!

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly and flew away.

Before leaving, the Supreme Saint raised the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda above his head, maximizing his defense.

Upon seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu were inspired and followed suit, quickly summoning their most powerful defensive magical treasures.

Even if you're being ganged up on, you have to save face first!

After all the sages had left, Guixuan's gaze returned to Hongjun. "Old man, how come your heart is even dirtier than before?"

"To think they'd even betray their own apprentice so cruelly...tsk tsk..."

A cold glint flashed in Hongjun's eyes. "Where can you find a fellow Daoist with such skill and such deep concealment? You managed to keep it hidden right under my nose without me noticing."

"I wonder if the other part of the Jade Disc of Creation is in your possession, fellow Daoist?"

When he asked this question, Hongjun stared intently at Guixuan, trying to find a flaw in him.

Gui Xuan's heart skipped a beat. "Hasn't the Jade Disc of Creation always been with you, fellow Daoist?"

"This is a priceless treasure. You should be asking yourself who it is, why are you asking me instead?"

Hongjun's eyes narrowed. "Could it really not be on him?"

When he asked Gui Xuan just now, he had already drawn the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc on his body, ready to react to any unusual activity.

You will definitely make a discovery.

However, just now, the fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation on his body did not react at all.

Hongjun couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

Little did he know that Gui Xuan had already hidden the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc on his body.

He put it into the Chaos Pearl and then hid it in the small world on the turtle's back.

It would be strange if Hongjun could find him.

Gui Xuan glanced at Hongjun indifferently and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you preparing to watch the world close down and return to chaos?"

Just as they were speaking, a small part of the sky and earth had already closed in.

The vast sky seemed even lower than before.

If it weren't for Guixuan's earlier act of paving the way for all living beings, causing the world to become larger, the sky higher, and the earth wider.

This primordial world has already closed halfway.

However, only a small portion of it has closed at this point.

Hongjun's expression turned calm, and his tone was filled with great compassion: "I am just persuading you, fellow Daoist, to sacrifice yourself for the sake of the billions of living beings in the primordial world and support the four poles of heaven and earth."

"It's just that you're unwilling, fellow Daoist."

"It was you, fellow Daoist, who watched helplessly as billions of living beings in the primordial world vanished, and the world closed up."

As expected of you, you threw the conflict at me with just a few words, Gui Xuan thought with a cold laugh.

With a wave of his hand, the six of the ten supreme spiritual roots of the primordial world that he had previously collected—the Fusang tree, the Laurel tree, the Five-needle Pine, the Yellow Plum, and the Human Fruit Tree—appeared in the void of the primordial world.

Upon its appearance, its size surged to hundreds of millions of miles, taking root in the void and forcibly supporting the primordial world.

Gui Xuan said calmly, "I'll use you to hold up the world for now and wait for my return."

As he spoke, his eyes flashed coldly as he looked at Hongjun.

Gui Xuan pointed his index and ring fingers at Hong Jun, saying, "You filthy thing, come here! Go and die!!"
