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

"Excellent! With such means, our West is destined to prosper. Now, the first tribulation of the Journey to the West, the Holy Heart Tribulation, has passed!" The voice of the Guide resounded within the Holy Heart Tribulation.

A wisp of sacred law appeared, and the two attacks from Sun Wukong and Zhu Wuneng were directly annihilated without even causing a ripple.

Moreover, it seems that the words of guidance are spoken as if they were divine mandate.

As he spoke of the Holy Heart Tribulation passing, the original Middle Thousand World Secret Realm began to crumble layer by layer.

The original Sacred Heart Tribulation Secret Realm now seems to have been solidified and placed in this primordial place.

However, Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, Tang Sanzang, and the others were inexplicably sent out directly.

"This Sacred Heart Tribulation will forever remain in the primordial world, tempering the will of all races to cultivate the Dao! With each cycle of creation, the tribulation unfolds in two phases: one is the Illusionary Realm, and the other is the Tribulation of Battle Power!"

The voice of the guiding sage echoed throughout the primordial world, filling some wandering immortals and powerful primordial clans with immense joy. They cupped their hands and cried out, "The sage is merciful!"

They had been paying close attention to the performance of Xiaobailong, Sha Wujing, and others during the Sacred Heart Tribulation. Moreover, if they could use this Sacred Heart Tribulation to cultivate and nurture the younger generation of their clan, it would not only solidify their path but also hone their cultivation...

In an instant, the fortune of the West began to rise dramatically. This time, the Sage of Guidance once again won over all the spirits of the primordial world!

At the same time, it truly benefits all living beings in the primordial world!

"When you pass through your first tribulation, the Tribulation of the Sacred Heart, our Western Paradise will surely bestow blessings upon you. Where is Ksitigarbha? He has been preaching the Way for three hundred years to continue the eternal Great Way!" The Sage Zhunti had arrived at this place at some unknown time.

"Ksitigarbha pays respects to the Holy One!" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva appeared here at some unknown time and bowed to the two Western Saints.

"Good, no need for formalities." The two Western Saints were very pleased to see Ksitigarbha.

Among all the Western disciples, Ksitigarbha's aptitude was not the best, but he was the most promising!

Now that he has entered the Underworld, his cultivation level has reached the high level of Quasi-Saint, and he is only one opportunity away from the peak of Quasi-Saint!

In terms of cultivation and realm, they can surpass the peak of ordinary quasi-saints. Now, having Ksitigarbha preach to them will not only enhance their cultivation, but also show them goodwill from the West. It will also ensure that when they overcome the tribulations in the next few tribulations, they will not leave empty-handed.

They passed the first tribulation, and the two Western Saints personally appeared to bless them. In the following tribulations, would all the great beings of the primordial world remain unmoved?

The stronger Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, and the others become after going through several more tribulations, the greater their chances of surviving the nine tribulations will be, and the greater the prosperity of the West will be guaranteed!

Why wouldn't the two Western Saints do something that kills two birds with one stone?

…………

With the first tribulation over, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also stood here, creating a space to preach to Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon.

The power of law emanating from him seemed to be expounding the laws of the Great Dao, not only containing the meaning of life and death and transcendence, but also seemingly a sense of reincarnation!

So much so that Bian Zhuang was deeply immersed in Ksitigarbha's sermons!

It must be said that although Ksitigarbha followed the two shameless Westerners, his desire to seek the Dao was probably unmatched by many in the entire prehistoric world!

Now that he has entered the Underworld and enjoys the merits of all directions, it is probably only a matter of time before he reaches the level of a top power in the prehistoric world!

…………

Time flows by, and three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, but it's just a matter of a single thought!

Sun Wukong also broke through his realm. Originally at the level of a half-step quasi-saint, he now roared out ten thousand streams of innate spiritual energy, making his aura incredibly powerful!

A quasi-saint-like aura erupted from Sun Wukong!

"break!"

With another soft shout, Zhu Wuneng, who was originally at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, directly crossed the initial stage of Quasi-Saint!

The little white dragon, who was originally at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, directly broke through to the initial stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm!

Only Sha Wujing, who had originally broken through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm through various means, was able to break through again under the guidance of Ksitigarbha's teachings. However, Sha Wujing has been constantly accumulating his foundation, so his current cultivation level is still at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

But at this moment, his aura and realm were countless times stronger than before!

However, just as everyone's cultivation was making progress, the second tribulation, the Tribulation of Ten Thousand Spirits, also shook the entire prehistoric world!

Even those with the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal were all swept into the Myriad Spirits Tribulation at this moment!

This Tribulation of Ten Thousand Spirits is a tribulation granted by various forces in the prehistoric world to all races. Regardless of race or realm, anyone can participate!

But if you lose your life, don't blame anyone else!

Therefore, very few people below the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal come here!

Inside the Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island, where Su Shao Chen was in seclusion, a pressure surpassing that of a Quasi-Saint surged in!

This oppressive aura had only just appeared on Jin'ao Island when it swept across the East China Sea and the Nine Provinces, allowing all living beings in the primordial world to clearly sense its immense power!

"Someone from the Jie Sect has actually broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm!" Countless powerful beings from the primordial world couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!

In the ancestral land of the East Sea Dragon Clan, after sensing the clear aura, Zhulong couldn't help but sigh, "That Su Shaochen is truly extraordinary, reaching a realm surpassing Quasi-Saint with a mortal body..."

The step from the peak of Quasi-Saint to surpassing Quasi-Saint is not as simple as breaking through a realm. Not only does he need to accumulate enough power, but he also needs to have a clear understanding and comprehension of the laws of his own cultivation!

Even though this step has trapped countless powerful figures from the previous era at the peak of Quasi-Saint, and even among all the disciples of the Three Pure Ones, the highest level they reached was only the peak of Quasi-Saint, none of them could reach this step!

Kong Xuan of the Phoenix Clan, Xuan Du of the Human Sect, Lu Ya of the Demon Clan, and Tathagata of Buddhism...

These are all people who made their names in the Eternal Gathering, yet none of them have broken through to this realm yet!

The foundation and understanding of the Dao required for this realm are many times greater than those required for the peak of Quasi-Saint!

Anyone who can break through to the level of Quasi-Saint has the potential to become a Half-Saint or even a Primordial Saint in the future.

Because this level is also the prototype of the laws of the Holy Path, it can also be called "close to sainthood!"

Upon sensing this aura, the Ten Heavenly Lords, Luo Xuan, Lü Yue, and the others who had already returned to Jin'ao Island all turned their gazes toward Jin'ao Island!

"It must be that our sect's vice leader has broken through to the near-saint realm! This is truly cause for great celebration!"

"The Vice Leader is awesome!"

The entire Jie Sect began to boil over, and the sect's fortune, which had been calm, began to surge wildly.

"Thump~"

"Thump~"

The Chaos Bell, a supreme innate treasure, also appeared above Jin'ao Island. Its immense power seemed to suppress the entire space!

"Hahaha!"

"Our Jie Sect has worthy successors!"

After sensing the aura emanating from Su Shao Chen, the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but burst into laughter.

His laughter even echoed over Shouyang Mountain and Kunlun Mountain, reaching the ears of both the Renjiao and Chanjiao sects.

In the Shouyang Mountains, Xuandu sensed the vast and boundless literary laws emanating from Su Shaochen, causing Xuandu's body to ripple and his mind to become chaotic!

He broke through to the peak of Quasi-Saint, the Eternal Gathering Realm, and has been trying to break through and surpass the Near-Saint Realm. However, the cultivation of the Eternal Gathering Realm seems to always have a tribulation in his heart that he can never get over!

"Although there is no cause and no effect, without a transcendent state of mind, one can never hope for the Great Dao..." Xuandu muttered to himself as he sat alone in his cave.

"Foolish child, even if the cause and effect are absolved, its roots lie within the human race. How can they be completely severed? So be it!"

"Now that the primordial world is in turmoil, you shall enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn as a human!" The voice of Taiqing Laozi rang out, and then a wisp of holy law appeared in Xuandu's cave, directly carrying Xuandu towards the Netherworld.

When this pressure, on par with that of the underground passage, appeared, even the figure of the Fengdu Emperor appeared in the sky above Fengdu City!

A wisp of sacred law appeared in Fengdu City, carrying a divine soul.

However, neither the Emperor of Fengdu nor the other beings of the underworld paid attention to the divine soul within the law; instead, they all looked at the sacred law of Taiqing Laozi!

This sacred law is terrifying. It seems that even a wisp of its power made Fengdu, a half-saint, feel an extremely heavy pressure!

If this wisp of law were to make its move, even the Great Emperor of Fengdu, using all his hidden strengths and methods, would likely be severely injured!

There's no other reason than that the laws of the Holy Path are far too terrifying, even surpassing those of several Zhunti!

It should be noted that Fengdu has not stopped progressing over the years. Originally surpassing the Quasi-Saint realm, it has already broken through to the Half-Saint level again.

As a result, the Emperor of Fengdu, by virtue of being the ruler of the underworld and wielding power over the netherworld, suppressed the Styx Ancestor in the entire netherworld, making his power second only to the saints!

The two had fought many battles, but even though the Styx River had attained the Dao by killing and was a half-step Grand Luo Golden Immortal, Fengdu was not afraid at all!

But today, this wisp of law made Fengdu feel a tremendous aura. How could he not be shocked by the terrifying strength of Taiqing Laozi!

"As expected of the head of the Three Pure Ones, and the number one futon!" Zhen Yuanzi appeared out of nowhere, looking at the wisp of sacred Dao law emanating from Taiqing Laozi and muttering to himself.

"Buzz~"

Just as Taiqing Laozi's wisp of sacred Dao law entered the Netherworld, the Netherworld Reincarnation Palace opened directly, and Xuandu's divine soul entered the cycle of reincarnation.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist~" Taiqing Laozi's voice also rang out from the depths of the Netherworld.

Immediately, that wisp of law pointed out another wisp of the Primordial Soul, causing Pingxin, deep within the Netherworld, to smile faintly and say, "Fellow Daoist, no need for such formalities."

Immediately, a wisp of Taiqing Laozi's divine soul was directly absorbed into the blood pool of Pangu Palace, and the originally boiling banner began to exude wisps of life energy!

Now that the blood pool already contains the divine souls of Taiqing Laozi and Tongtian Jiaozhu, the time that originally required the accumulation of ten thousand ages has been greatly shortened!

Even Pingxin could clearly sense that the time of his brothers' birth was probably not far off!

If we could have the soul of the Primordial Celestial Venerable again, my brothers would probably be able to reappear in the primordial world within a few thousand years!

Although Fengdu and the others were unaware of what was happening in the depths of the Netherworld, they immediately recognized that Xuandu had also entered the cycle of reincarnation for training!

"Could it be that he was stimulated by the main body's breakthrough to the near-saint realm..." Fengdu muttered to himself, and then told the main body the news.

Kong Xuan, who had already found a breakthrough opportunity in the Immortal Volcano, suddenly sensed the aura of Jin'ao Island and his expression became solemn!

His fighting spirit also erupted, and Su Shao Chen of the Jie Sect was able to surpass him and break through to the near-saint realm one step earlier!

Kong Xuan is not only the son of the Phoenix Clan, but also the first peacock in the world. He has his pride!

Kong Xuan then went into complete seclusion, and an aura approaching sainthood gradually emanated from the Undying Volcano.

…………

On the Sun Star, Lu Ya, who was struggling to break through layer after layer of restrictions, paused for a moment after sensing the aura of Jin'ao Island.

He had already found a near-saintly opportunity, but if he could save his father and uncle, what did it matter if his breakthrough was delayed?

He then resolutely began to break through the numerous restrictions. When the Demon Saint Bai Ze sensed this aura, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Those ancient ancestors of all races who were stuck at the peak of obtaining a birth permit were also momentarily stunned!

"How unjust is Heaven..." The old ancestors who had not yet broken through to the Supreme Realm had extremely complicated expressions at this moment!

Su Shao Chen was unaware of all this, as he was currently circulating the Heavenly Dao Mark.

The aura that had been fluctuating slightly around him was now enhanced by the Dao traces from beyond the heavens, making Su Shao Chen seem to have had an epiphany, and he began to become increasingly ethereal and serene.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Shao Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and his aura had completely reached the near-saint level!

Only at this level can it truly be called the level of a top-tier innate deity in the primordial world!

The top powerhouses in the primordial world are at the peak of Quasi-Saint, while the great powers of the primordial world range from the initial stage of Quasi-Saint to the advanced stage of Quasi-Saint.

Once you reach the near-saint level, both your cultivation and future potential will be comparable to those of top-tier innate deities!

"Three hundred years have passed, and with the traces of the Dao from beyond the heavens, I have forged the sacred intent of the Dao of Literature. In the future, the Great Dao will be feasible, and all directions will be able to take it..." When Su Shao Chen came out of Biyou Palace, countless disciples of the Jie Sect had also arrived outside Biyou Palace early.

"Congratulations to the Vice Leader of our Intercepting Sect on the emergence of another Saint!"

At this moment, all the disciples of the Wanxian Jiejiao shouted and bowed in unison, and the stars in the sky appeared brilliantly, obscuring the entire prehistoric world!

At the same time, countless celestial officials in the endless sky also shouted loudly.

"Congratulations to the Vice Leader on breaking through to near-Sainthood!"

"Congratulations to the Vice Leader on breaking through to near-Sainthood!"

Even the disciples of the Holy Mother of Wudang, the Holy Mother of Jinling, and the Holy Mother of Guiling bowed with their hands clasped!

Their highest level is only the peak of Quasi-Saint. Even with their profound foundation, they still have no clue about the near-Saint realm!

However, the vice leader broke through this realm in three hundred years, and even his personal disciples had to pay their respects!

Regardless of anything else, it's simply because in the primordial world, only the strong are respected!

Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Wenchang, on your breakthrough!

Congratulations to Senior Wenchang on your breakthrough!

At the same time, the sound reverberated throughout the entire prehistoric world, even echoing across the four continents and countless blessed lands.

Upon hearing this, Su Shao Chen couldn't help but smile helplessly. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, the literary laws that had begun to transform, carrying wisps of holy intent, headed towards the primordial world.

Everyone was lifted up by the power of the Daoist principles, which seemed to encompass the entire universe!

When Sun Wukong, who had just broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, heard that his master had also broken through, he jumped up with joy!

"Haha, that's my master!"

"That's my master!"

"Congratulations, Master, on breaking through to the near-saint level! The path to sainthood is within reach!"

Hearing the congratulations from all the races of the prehistoric world, Zhu Wuneng couldn't help but feel a little sour. (End of Chapter)
