Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

The power reserved solely for the Heavenly Emperor was mobilized by Su Shao Chen at this moment: "The Empress Earth, who follows the laws of Heaven and embodies great virtue, is in charge of the changes in mountains and lands, as well as the great gods of mountains, lands, and the Three Mountains and Five Peaks. She also controls matters of calamity and secretly colludes with various forces in the Heavenly Court, disturbing its safety. She shall be suppressed for eternity to warn all spirits of awe!"

At this moment, Su Shao Chen seemed to have the power of Heaven on his lips. After being empowered by the authority of Heaven, his aura became even more imposing, causing his cultivation level to explode layer by layer. After reaching the level of a Saint, Su Shao Chen pressed down with a palm.

Di Xin looked at the giant hand in the sky and couldn't help but laugh. Then, without any resistance, he simply threw the imperial seal, which symbolized the virtue and glory of the Earth Goddess Houtu, in front of Su Shao Chen.

Su Shao Chen did not take back the Emperor Seal. Instead, after suppressing Di Xin, he waved his sleeve and the Emperor Seal also unleashed the pressure of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. It appeared at the core of the array that was suppressing Di Xin, constantly absorbing and releasing the laws of eternity.

As for the vast army of the Great Shang Dynasty, Su Shao Chen waved his sleeve, and all the figures of the Great Shang army were immediately separated into various departments of the Heavenly Court.

All the Thunder Department, Fighting Department, Plague Department, and Thunder Department under the command of the Jiejiao disciples, as well as the large army under the command of the military marshal, were filled with countless Shang troops.

From this day forward, the entire Heavenly Court will no longer have the mighty Shang army, nor will it have the powerful force of the Shang Dynasty.

As for generals like Yin Jiao and Yin Hong, Su Shao Chen did not make any further moves. Only two or three small fry remained, and they could not affect the overall situation.

Both Di Xin and he had anticipated this outcome, but Su Shao Chen couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion when he recalled the time when the Shang Dynasty honored him as their imperial tutor during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

The struggle for the ultimate truth is ever-changing throughout the ages; even brothers may not always maintain their fraternal bond.

As Lu Ya watched Emperor Fu handle the affairs of the Heavenly Court one by one, he couldn't help but crane his neck to look at Emperor Fu, anticipating the next thing Emperor Fu would do to deal with his demon race...

However, Di Xin did not look at him, but rather at Tathagata and the group of Buddhist disciples behind him.

With just one glance from Su Shao Chen, Ci Hang, Pu Xian, and the others all took a step back.

The aura emanating from Su Shao Chen alone is probably beyond the reach of ordinary peak Quasi-Saints.

With the blessing of the literary and Taoist fortune, the Jie Sect fortune, and the Heavenly Court fortune, Su Shao Chen is now unafraid even if a saint were to take action, let alone them.

As Tathagata looked at Su Shao Chen's imposing aura, he seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but sigh softly.

But after he committed the act of dismembering the Buddha's head in the past, he probably had no way out...

Su Shao Chen's calm voice rang out, "The great development of the West shall continue!"

Upon hearing this, even the Buddha exclaimed, "Excellent!"

Then Buddha left the Heavenly Court with his Buddhist disciples. However, as he left, Buddha glanced at Sun Wukong.

At this time, Sun Wukong was only at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and the small realm he had just reached was something he had gained from observing countless quasi-saints fighting.

But even at such a level, without encountering a tribulation and breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the great tribulation during the journey to the West would likely be difficult to achieve...

But the Buddha did not worry for long before he heard Su Shao Chen's voice: "Where is Wukong? Today you are the one who is to face the tribulation of the great eon. Your current state is insufficient, and your will is also insufficient. You need to undergo some trials before you can reach the Great Dao."

"Go to Laozi's furnace!" Su Shao Chen then waved his sleeve, and Sun Wukong uncontrollably appeared in the Tushita Palace of Lihentian.

When Laozi saw Sun Wukong, he couldn't help but laugh. Then, the Eight Trigrams Alchemy Furnace was opened, and endless Samadhi Fire and Six Ding Six Jia Divine Flowers emerged.

Sun Wukong seemed to be completely trapped by Laozi, unable to break free from his laws no matter what he used. This made Sun Wukong look extremely solemn when he looked at Laozi.

The Supreme Lord Laozi before us is probably in no way inferior to the likes of Tathagata, Haotian, and Styx from before…

"In the past, I used this furnace to refine Yang Jian's physical body into a human-god body, and his physical body could prove that he was a quasi-saint. Now that you have reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, you have the opportunity to enter the furnace for refinement. You should also have a special opportunity~" After Laozi smiled, he sent Sun Wukong into the Eight Trigrams Alchemy Furnace.

Golden Horn and Silver Horn were fanning themselves below, their faces full of energy.

After all, the master has opened the furnace to refine their bodies again this time, which is an opportunity for the two brothers. They will not only be able to travel to the mortal world, but also gain some merit...

This made the Golden Horn and Silver Horn brothers happier and happier.

When Sun Wukong was sent into the furnace, he felt the raging divine fire inside, and even as a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal, he couldn't withstand it at all.

Moreover, the thick smoke from this divine fire seemed to contain countless laws, making it impossible for him to open his eyes.

Even the tremor originating from his soul kept warning him within his body. Even when he was using the Myriad Paths Technique with all his might, he could not withstand the power of this divine fire.

Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal cannot withstand the Samadhi True Fire. Sun Wukong, who is only at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and has not yet cultivated any physical cultivation techniques, is naturally unable to resist it.

Yang Jian was already exceptionally strong, and he had mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts. His cultivation was truly remarkable, and both his intellect and comprehension were outstanding among the younger generation in the prehistoric world.

Sun Wukong has only been around for a hundred years, how can he be compared to someone like Yang Jian?

Even as Sun Wukong was about to be refined by the raging divine fire, he gritted his teeth and persevered, believing that his master would not harm him...

"I, Old Sun, am not afraid!" Sun Wukong rolled around in the furnace, rapidly circulating the Myriad Dao Technique, absorbing the laws of divine fire to temper his body.

Seeing this, Laozi couldn't help but smile. He then waved his whisk, and a celestial pill appeared in the furnace. It was sent directly into Sun Wukong's body, and it seemed that Sun Wukong was gradually getting used to it.

But the endless burning did not lessen at all, but that was enough!

With the help of this elixir, Sun Wukong bowed respectfully towards the outside of the furnace and then devoted himself to tempering his body.

Although he had fully activated the Myriad Paths Technique, the domineering power of the Samadhi True Fire and the Six Ding Six Jia was beyond what Sun Wukong's current level could absorb. Therefore, Sun Wukong's progress was extremely slow. If he wanted to achieve mastery, it would probably take thousands, or even tens of thousands of years...

But Sun Wukong didn't have that time; he was destined for a calamity and had his own mission.

"Use the essence of Earth, draw upon the power of creation, and temper!" Outside the furnace, when Laozi saw that Sun Wukong could no longer persevere, he waved his whisk, and the Yin-Yang diagram circulated in the Heaven of Separation, instantly as if the laws of heaven and earth had been altered.

The Eight Trigrams Alchemy Furnace began to rotate continuously. Inside the furnace, the essence of the Earth element that Zhenyuan Saint had given to Su Shao Chen was activated, as was the primordial energy of creation within Sun Wukong's body.

The endless essence of the Earth element and the laws of creation continuously tempered Sun Wukong's physique, allowing him to gradually adapt to the raging fire within the furnace. He also mastered the Myriad Paths Technique, absorbing and releasing the overwhelming divine fire within. (End of Chapter)
