Primordial Era: Reborn as a Tortoise, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Chapter 99 Strange Post-War Phenomena Reappear

Wild world.

As blood rained down, the six supreme spiritual roots that Gui Xuan had originally used to support the primordial world began to falter.

There are faint signs of collapse.

Mount Buzhou collapsed, and the sage of the Heavenly Way perished and died.

The entire primordial world suffered double damage and could no longer hold on, beginning to collapse rapidly.

Gui Xuan appeared in the primordial land with the four great saints of the Xuanmen, as well as Houtu, Zhenyuanzi, and the Styx Ancestor.

The moment it appeared, Guixuan looked up at the North Sea. The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise stared in horror at the rapidly collapsing primordial world, at a loss for what to do.

Gui Xuan's aura suddenly erupted, and he shouted, "All living beings of the primordial world, I, Dao Ancestor Gui Xuan, feel the heavens and earth overturning and the world collapsing today."

"To save the world from collapse and restore order! You must not disturb them!"

After saying that, he waved his hand.

Four pillars, each capable of blocking out the sky, appeared in his hands.

On the pillars were carved four statues: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

The surface is covered with Daoist patterns, interwoven with legal principles.

The moment the pillar appeared, Gui Xuan raised his hand and sent them flying to the east, west, south, and north—the four extreme points of the primordial world.

"My Four Symbols Pillars have been unleashed; why are you still not making your move? When will you ever get another chance?!"

A soft shout came from Gui Xuan's mouth.

The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise above the North Sea were blessed with divine inspiration and transformed into beings spanning 1.296 billion li.

Fly away to the four directions of heaven and earth that correspond to itself.

The Azure Dragon rules the east, the White Tiger the west, the Vermilion Bird the south, and the Black Tortoise the north, standing tall between the primordial world.

Gui Xuan drank again, and exclaimed, "It's surging!!!"

The three thousand phantom images of demon gods reappeared, each merging into the four pillars of heaven and earth.

The Four Symbols Pillars experienced a crazy surge in price.

In an instant, it stood tall and firm between heaven and earth, completely stabilizing the closed world.

This wasn't the end of it. As the Four Symbols Pillars grew, the heavens and earth were stretched open once more.

They only stopped when the heavens and earth were restored to their original height.

Gui Xuan looked up at the sky and said, "Today I establish the Four Symbols Pillars to support the four poles of heaven and earth, with the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise as the four sacred beasts to guard the Four Symbols Pillars."

"May all living beings of the primordial world remember the tragedy of today, and never again act recklessly and wantonly!"

boom!

A thick beam of golden light appeared, signifying merit.

It was divided into several parts and fell among the participants in this attempt to mend the sky.

Among them, Gui Xuan had the most golden light of merit.

Next is Houtu.

Then came several sages.

This is a reward from the innate power of Heaven, a commendation for the sages who uphold Heaven and Earth.

However, just as the golden light of merit was about to fall upon Gui Xuan, Gui Xuan waved his hand.

His immense power of merit dissipated into the world.

The rapidly collapsing primordial world began to stabilize and stopped collapsing.

At this moment, the blood rain from the sky began to stop.

All that remains is a desolate, ravaged land, too horrific to behold.

awful!

"Great Virtue of the Daoist Ancestor Guixuan!"

"The Great Compassionate and Merciful Ancestor of the Dao!"

Hundreds of millions of living beings respectfully accept the worship.

In that instant, something strange happened.

Gui Xuan's eyes began to look somewhat unfocused.

As if he had forgotten something, his eyes narrowed the next second.

His memory is being tampered with!

Startled, he glanced at the sages around him and found them all looking dazed.

His eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions, including confusion, bewilderment, and understanding.

What surprised Gui Xuan even more was that the previously vanished Hongyun mysteriously reappeared not far from him.

This terrifying scene seemed to go unnoticed by both the billions of living beings in the primordial world and the few primordial saints who were closest to it.

Zhen Yuanzi, Houtu, and the Styx Ancestor regained their Saint-level strength.

"Who did this?!"

Two conflicting memories appeared in Gui Xuan's mind.

One is the memory from just now, that he killed Hongjun.

Another one is that Hongjun was thrown into the endless chaos by him, severely injured, and disappeared.

The two memories intertwined, with the first memory being quickly swallowed up by the second.

Just as the first memory was about to disappear, the wisp of special aura that had landed on him reappeared, resisting the erosion.

"The Dao Ancestor Guixuan is merciful!"

While Gui Xuan was still struggling with his decision, the Four Sages of Xuanmen and the Four Sages of Hongyun bowed and gave their shouts.

Gui Xuan turned a deaf ear and looked toward the Western world.

A shocking scene unfolded before his eyes: the two Western Saints he had just killed were now being obediently suppressed in the Western world.

It was as if they had never participated in the battle.

Everything seemed like an illusion, or a dream.

Gui Xuan frowned and asked, "Do you remember what just happened?"

The saints were bewildered, not knowing why the Dao Ancestor Guixuan would ask such a question.

"Dao Ancestor, Di Jun was defeated and, in despair, angrily rammed Buzhou Mountain. Dao Ancestor Hongjun ordered the Xuanmen Saints to kill you and support the four poles of heaven and earth."

"We fought a great battle in the Chaos World. Dao Ancestor Hongjun was no match for your attack and was thrown into the Chaos. Then you forged the Four Symbols Pillars to support the four poles of heaven and earth."

Although he didn't know why Dao Ancestor Guixuan would ask such a question, Hongyun still honestly explained.

The other sages all shared the same expression, completely agreeing with what Hongyun said.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable said coldly, "Emperor Jun is audacious enough to scheme against us! Even if he doesn't die, I will settle this score!"

As a saint, how could he be completely manipulated by a quasi-saint? Does he still have any dignity left in the Three Pure Ones?

Gui Xuan's eyes narrowed upon hearing this.

A great terror arose in his heart.

Suppressing his fear, Gui Xuan didn't ask any further questions, but nodded instead.

"Heaven and earth are damaged. As sages of heaven and earth, you should set an example and comfort all living beings in the primordial world."

"Never let down the people of this primordial world!"

After saying that, he prepared to leave.

However, the Taiqing Sage among the Three Pure Ones suddenly hesitated, unsure of how to speak.

Gui Xuan felt something and said without turning his head, "If I become a saint, I will not take up a spot in that saintly position."

Then it disappeared into the void.

Before disappearing, a mental law was held in his hand in the void, and then vanished.

Upon hearing this, the Three Pure Ones breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to give an account to all living beings in the primordial world.

However, the thought of people blocking his doorway filled Sanqing with anger once again.

After a while, the sages exchanged glances.

Nuwa said, "Sister Houtu, I'll visit your underworld another day. Please don't be unwelcome."

Houtu said calmly, "You are welcome anytime, elder sister."

Then it disappeared.

Nuwa chuckled softly and returned directly to the Nuwa Palace.

The remaining six saints bowed to each other and then returned home.

The world has undergone tremendous changes, and they still have many things to do.

Such a cataclysmic event has a huge impact; if the aftermath is not handled properly, it will have a tremendous effect on one's fortune.

However, what puzzled the Three Pure Ones was that their teacher's suppression of their personal fortune had actually disappeared.

"Could it be that he was pushed too hard before, and now that he's been severely injured by Dao Ancestor Guixuan, his conscience has finally awakened?"

The three brothers looked at each other in unison, all puzzled.

Ultimately, they chose to put the matter aside for the time being and deal with other things, but one doubt after another arose in their minds.

Before leaving, Yuanshi Tianzun had a sudden thought. He looked at the remaining third of Buzhou Mountain and put it away with a wave of his hand.

On Kunlun Mountain.

When the Three Pure Ones returned to their own dojos, most of the countless primordial deities who had been there before were still waiting in the void.

The three Qings' faces darkened upon seeing this, and they almost lost their temper again.

If I hadn't been injured by Gui Xuan, I would have definitely given those guys blocking the door a good beating today!

The Supreme Sage looked coldly at these primordial deities before him and said in a low voice, "In this great calamity of heaven and earth, instead of saving the billions of lives in the primordial world, you stand here dumbfounded because of your greed, and you still want to become saints!"

"Get out of my sight, all of you!"

boom!

The power of the sage suddenly erupted, sweeping away all the ancient gods who were blocking the Kunlun Mountains.

Do you really think I have a good temper?

Having done all this, Taiqing didn't even look outside and went straight back to the front of the Taiqing Palace.

At this moment, the disciples of the Xuanmen sect of Kunlun Mountain breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their teachers appear one after another.

Even in the Kunlun Mountains, they could still sense the battle that had erupted among the great sages in the chaos.

That kind of power was even more terrifying than the might of Heaven!

But why is the heavens and earth weeping? Is the blood rain falling because the pillar of heaven has collapsed?

They were puzzled and could only ask their own teacher for advice.

Hurry up and step forward to greet them.

"Greetings, teacher (or senior martial brother/aunt)!"

The three Pure Ones' pale faces had regained some color. Seeing their disciples' fearful expressions, the Supreme Pure One, Tongtian, comforted them, saying, "The great calamity has passed. You must not be alarmed."

"Each of you should return to your cave and devote yourselves to cultivation, quietly reciting the Yellow Court Classic, and not go out unless necessary."

Xuandu, the Antarctic Immortal, and Duobao were all moved.

They all replied, "We will obey your orders, Master!"

Despite their many questions, seeing their teacher's expression, it was clearly not the time to ask.

They then each led their own disciples away from the Sanqing Hall.

Inside the Taiqing Hall.

The Three Pure Ones sat cross-legged atop the auspicious cloud, remaining silent.

Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he was puzzled.

After a long silence, the Sage Taiqing spoke first, "Why do I feel like something's not right?"

After speaking, he looked at his two younger brothers.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable's face darkened. "Me too."

Tongtian Sect Leader: "Something seems off about that one in the chaos."

silence···

With the Three Pure Ones united, they were absolutely certain that they had overlooked something.

But I can't remember.

The Master of Heaven glanced at the chaos beyond the heavens and said, "I'll go take a look."

Then it disappeared.

A moment later, Tongtian returned to Taiqing Palace with a solemn expression.

Before his two elder brothers could speak, he said, "The Purple Cloud Palace can't be found..."

boom!

These words struck the mind of the Supreme Saint and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable like a thunderclap.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable quickly asked, "What do you mean by 'cannot be found'?"

Tongtian said, "The location of Zixiao Palace in the chaos is uncertain, but there are still clues to follow; as sages and his disciples, we can follow our inner intuition and find the location of Zixiao Palace at any time."

"Just now I searched in the chaos, but I couldn't sense where Zixiao Palace was at all. I even searched the outer chaos around the prehistoric world, but I didn't find a single clue."

"There wasn't even the slightest sense of it."

The Supreme Saint felt a chill in his heart. "My teacher was banished into the depths of chaos by the Dao Ancestor Guixuan, but what happened afterward...?"

Why did he feel that the previous battle was somewhat strange?

Some of the details, I can't even remember.

They are ancient saints, how could their memories be wrong?

"For now, let's remain calm and wait for the outcome!"

The Sage Taiqing spoke earnestly to Yuanshi and Tongtian.

The situation was too bizarre. The Supreme Sage had a premonition that if they were not careful, they would be dragged into an abyss of no return.

······

North Sea.

Fangzhang Immortal Island.

Gui Xuan sat in the Immortal Path, his brows furrowed.

in front of him.

The guiding banner and the seven-jeweled tree that he had summoned with his five-colored divine light were rapidly dissipating.

In a way that he could hardly understand, he quickly returned to the side of Jieyin and Zhunti.

Even with all his strength, Gui Xuan couldn't hold on!

"What kind of power is this...?"

"Hongjun..."

Even after the Guiding Banner and the Seven Treasures Tree completely disappeared, Guixuan was unable to retain these two spiritual treasures.

What puzzled him even more was that the wisp of energy that appeared from the Chaos Pearl during the battle disappeared after he returned to the North Sea.

No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find that trace of aura.

Until a long time later.

Gui Xuan finally came to his senses, "This primordial world is far more mysterious than I knew..."

But the next moment.

Strange phenomena appeared once again in the primordial world.

"Gah!!"
