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

Chapter 86 Yunhua Imprisons Peach Mountain, Two Western Saints Bestow Innate Merit Treasures, Primordial Upheaval, Never Bully the Young.

Upon hearing that the gift bestowed by the sage was the Golden Lotus of Merit, Di Ting hurriedly and respectfully accepted it, then said in a serious tone, "Yes, Di Yu will certainly live up to the sage's high expectations and fulfill the path of great vows!"

"Excellent!"

Although it was a bit painful to receive the guidance, it wasn't a complete loss. Moreover, giving it to Di Yu meant giving it to a Western disciple. Di Yu had good aptitude and could become an asset to Ksitigarbha in the future, and could also change some of the negative perceptions of the myriad races of the prehistoric world towards the West...

Even the Quasi-Saint Ancestor Di Ting was somewhat surprised to see that the Saint Jie Yin had bestowed a treasure upon him. He then seemed to be re-evaluating the Saint. Jie Yin, on the other hand, maintained a faint smile. His Saintly Laws were extremely strong, making him truly worthy of being called a Saint!

"Good, Diyu, why don't you hurry and pay your respects to Fellow Daoist Ksitigarbha?" Diting Quasi-Saint Ancestor also reminded him.

Diyu immediately came to Ksitigarbha's side and respectfully bowed, saying, "Diyu greets Your Excellency!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva personally helped up Diyu and said, "Good. In the future, you and I will cultivate for eternity in the underworld. Although entering the underworld this time has been difficult for you, you will also have a great opportunity."

"Yes!" Diyu replied respectfully, and then stood behind Ksitigarbha.

"Now that this matter is settled, I shall depart." Upon seeing this, the Quasi-Saint Ancestor Di Ting also bowed to the Sage of Reception and the Emperor of Fengdu.

"good."

Then the wisp of the saint's divine consciousness that guided him also dissipated, and the Netherworld fell silent. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also took Di Ting into the eighteenth level of hell to begin his great vow of cultivation.

The Great Emperor of Fengdu also returned to the Fengdu Palace to oversee the underworld and comprehend the laws of the netherworld.

The changes in the Netherworld were also noticed by the other saints, after all, it was hard for the other saints not to pay attention to the commotion that Ksitigarbha had made at that time.

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa remained expressionless. The Netherworld was a place of peace and tranquility, not one they could interfere with at will. Moreover, the Netherworld was not suitable for their cultivation path...

Not long after Su Shao Chen arrived at Sanshan Pass, he heard Kong Xuan's voice. The next moment, Su Shao Chen arrived at the Taoist temple that Kong Xuan had established in Sanshan Pass.

Although it is not as good as the top-tier dojos in the primordial world, its internal laws are rich and it has special methods of the Phoenix Clan, which amazed Su Shao Chen.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. Your place is simple and ordinary, but there must be a profound reason for it," Su Shao Chen said, bowing in return.

"Haha, young Daoist, you are a great sage of the human race, writing books to spread the Dao among humankind. Even I cannot compare to you. I have read your book, 'Never Bully a Poor Young Man,' and it is truly a wonderful book. Do you have another one? Would you be willing to sit down and tell me about it?" Kong Xuan said gently.

Aside from his cultivation, his greatest hobbies were probably reading travelogues written by humans and written records by the myriad races of the prehistoric world.

Since Su Shao Chen's "Don't Bully the Young and Poor" circulated in the prehistoric world last time, Kong Xuan also got his hands on "Don't Bully the Young and Poor" as soon as possible.

The stories and plots were incredibly novel; even after reading books for tens of thousands of years, Kong Xuan had never seen such a way of recording anything. Moreover, he read just one book, "Don't Bully a Poor Young Man," countless times…

Su Shao Chen was taken aback by Kong Xuan's words. Hadn't they agreed to have a discussion about the Dao? How did they suddenly start talking about the book he was discussing...?

"Of course I have them. If you wish to see them, I have more here. You can take a look at them at your leisure." As Su Shao Chen spoke, he took out several books that he had told his master about, his expression one of extreme pain.

"Haha, excellent. I owe you a debt of gratitude this time. If you ever need my help in the future, feel free to use it." Kong Xuan accepted the paper made by Su Shao Chen.

"No, it's just a random item. My Dao of Literature was passed down to the Great Shang. Now, the primordial chaos is filled with killing intent, and a great calamity is about to begin. In the future, I will rule the Great Shang. Fellow Daoist, you have your own karma with the Great Shang. There will be an opportunity to settle your karma." Su Shao Chen also said.

The Phoenix Clan supported the Great Shang Dynasty, and the Jie Sect also suppressed the Great Shang Dynasty. When the Phoenix Cries in Xiqi and the Chan Sect places its bets, there will naturally be a battle between them. Moreover, Kong Xuan is a powerful figure who is extremely terrifying even among quasi-saints. In the future, during the Investiture of the Gods, he will indeed be able to exert effects beyond ordinary people.

It would be inappropriate to make Kong Xuan owe him a karmic debt simply because of some books.

After chatting for a while, the two were ready to discuss the Dao. Kong Xuan was very interested in Su Shao Chen's literary Dao, and Su Shao Chen was also interested in Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light. So the two hit it off and sat down to discuss the Dao. A series of mysterious Daoist auras appeared in Kong Xuan's Daoist field.

While discussing the theory of literature and the Way, Su Shaochen also observed Kong Xuan. Regarding the Confucian Confucius of later generations, Su Shaochen had several guesses. One was that Kong Lao Er was indeed a human, and might even be the descendant of Kong Shengsheng.

The second theory is that the Confucius who appeared in later generations was not a human, but rather Kong Xuanhua, who spread Confucianism and Taoism.

Therefore, during this sermon, Su Shaochen focused on the Way of Literature, the myriad ways derived from it, and even took out the Book of Humanity to elicit the profound philosophical principles within, which left Kong Xuan in awe.

But that was all. Su Shao Chen didn't find anything else in Kong Xuan, which made him realize that Kong Xuan would not be the founder of Confucianism as some fantasy novels portray him...

"I've been misled by the ancient texts..." Su Shao Chen murmured to himself.

The two sat and discussed the Dao at Sanshan Pass. In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed. Su Shao Chen also opened his eyes, and his literary Dao realm was extremely stable.

This discussion also allowed him to clearly sense Kong Xuan's Dao. As expected of a powerful being at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, his Dao had already progressed far within the Quasi-Saint realm, even giving Su Shao Chen the feeling that the other party could break through to the high-stage of Quasi-Saint at any time!

This is far beyond what someone who has just broken through to the Quasi-Saint level can compare to. Moreover, Kong Xuan also cultivates the Phoenix Clan's secret techniques, allowing him to defeat a high-level Quasi-Saint even at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint level!

"Fellow Daoist's methods are truly profound and myriad, and I have also gained some insights from them. If we meet again in the future, it will surely be a preordained destiny." Su Shao Chen got up and prepared to leave.

Kong Xuan smiled and said after hearing Su Shao Chen's words, "Good. This primordial world is filled with killing intent. It is a test of heaven and earth, and even more so, a test for the transcendence of all living beings. When we meet again in the future, we will naturally appear in the face of calamity."

…………

Having left Sanshan Pass, Su Shao Chen now uses the Xingzi Technique to head towards the Primordial Skull Mountain.

On the other side is the Heavenly Palace of Lingxiao.

Haotian, with his imperial might, suppressed the Heavenly Court. Below him were a group of celestial officials, including Taibai Jinxing, Bai Wei, and the barefoot immortal who had just been recruited at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

As for Longji, he has been demoted to Qingluan Douque on Phoenix Mountain because of Yunhua's affair.

"My beloved ministers, tell me, how should this matter be handled?" Haotian's voice was calm.

None of the celestial officials dared to say anything, not even Bai Wei, the God of War of the Heavenly Court. They all glanced at Taibai Jinxing, seemingly casually.

Venus first glanced at the Heavenly Emperor, then at the Queen Mother of the West, before stepping forward and bowing, saying, "Your Majesty, Yunhua has now trespassed into the mortal realm and given birth to a child, thus losing the Heavenly Emperor's authority. This time, the Heavenly Court should uphold the righteous spirit of the Heavenly Court and strictly order the celestial officials to fulfill their duties. Yunhua has committed a grave error and should be made to atone for it. This old minister believes that Yunhua should be imprisoned to atone for her sins."

"No! Yunhua has made a grave mistake this time, damaging the prestige of our Heavenly Court. If we do not rectify this, our Heavenly Court may find it difficult to stand in the prehistoric world and become a laughingstock among all the races of the prehistoric world!" Bai Wei also cupped his hands and said coldly, his words causing some of the celestial officials to be taken aback.
