Primordial Salted Fish: Starting from Refusing to Join the Demon Clan

If we go to Zixiao Palace, we will definitely encounter Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, and Dongwanggong from before. Perhaps the Twelve Ancestral Witches will also be going to the first round.

There will inevitably be a lot of trouble then.

If he doesn't go, Kunpeng doesn't know when he'll be able to break through to the next level on his own.

After all, it's too difficult to create a path to transcendence on one's own.

This is not as simple as just comprehending the laws.

He has been at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm for quite some time.

But he had no clue about the next level.

Although there was a ready-made one below the island, Kunpeng was afraid of death and dared not gamble.

Although the method of severing the three corpses is quite tricky, it requires three innate spiritual treasures of the same origin. Otherwise, it is impossible to achieve the unification of the three corpses. Furthermore, the spiritual treasures used to sever the three corpses should ideally be similar to and of the same origin as one's own Dao. Otherwise, even if the three corpses are severed, it will be difficult to rely on them because of the incompatibility of their origins, thus leading to failure...

It has a lot of flaws and pitfalls, but no matter what, it is a good way to take a shortcut and help cultivators quickly break through to the Great Luo realm and enter the next realm.

Without going to Zixiao Palace, one cannot obtain the method of severing the three corpses and cannot break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm; while Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, and others have all broken through using the method of severing the three corpses, he is still stuck in the same place, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

It seems we're going to repeat the same old mistakes.

No, he can't just sit here and wait to die.

Perhaps he could try to make money, no, to be precise, to accumulate merit.

Merit is a wonderful thing; it can not only enhance one's cultivation level but also be used to comprehend the Great Dao and protect oneself. With merit protecting one's body, one can be immune to all kinds of magic...

Merit can be said to be the best thing in the primordial world.

However, there are only a few ways to gain merit.

None of these are things that can be done easily.

In fact, there was a quick way for Kunpeng to gain merit, which was the path that Kunpeng originally took.

To create writing.

In the present primordial world, the innate divine script is used.

These innate divine characters are born from the beginning, and each one is a manifestation of the Dao.

For Kunpeng, it's not difficult at all.

However, in terms of origin, foundation, and cultivation, Kunpeng is among the top few beings in the primordial world.

Most of the creatures in the primordial world were merely those who had just awakened their intelligence and entered the lowest level of innate cultivation.

Comprehending innate divine script is too difficult for them.

The creation of writing is a way to spread civilization and a manifestation of perfecting the rules of the primordial world.

Heaven and earth will bestow merit as a reward.

When Kunpeng had this idea, a ray of light appeared and entered Kunpeng's primordial spirit.

It was as if the primordial world felt something and thus lowered the standards.

After reading it, Kunpeng just didn't want to continue.

Creating a writing system requires so many steps, which is completely different from what Kunpeng had previously imagined. Kunpeng had oversimplified things.

He probably originally thought he had memories of the future and possessed a complete writing system from that era.

All that's needed is to visualize it and transform it into a script suitable for use by primordial beings.

But that's not the case at all. Just because Kunpeng created the characters doesn't mean they can be recognized by the primordial world.

Instead, it requires the approval of countless living beings, and the use of it by billions of beings in the primordial world. Only when it is used by a certain number of beings and has a certain spread will a heavenly tribulation descend upon the primordial world.

Only by successfully surviving the heavenly tribulation can one be considered successful and recognized by the Heavenly Dao.

"Difficult, really difficult!" Kunpeng said helplessly. "I've transmigrated, and now I'm facing a life-or-death struggle!"

"Why is it so hard to be a salted fish?!"

Kunpeng decided to go into seclusion and create writing.

It first spread within the East China Sea region, and then traveled to the primordial continent.

Dongwanggong was kicked out of the formation like a broken sack, crashing heavily into the turbulent currents of the East Sea Ruins.

His purple-gold Taoist robe was tattered to shreds, and three deep, bone-revealing claw marks on his chest were oozing blood. His pure yang immortal light dissipated like a candle flickering in the wind.

Furthermore, the loss of his companion spiritual treasures, the Pure Yang Sword and the Purple Yang Bell, has already damaged his very essence!

"We are both... Great Luo Golden Immortals... why is there such a vast difference between us?!" He stared at his trembling hands, his Dao heart trembling violently.

Those sky-covering wings and space-tearing claws suddenly overlapped with the image of the colossal beast from the Northern Sea legends that had withstood the Chaos Bell: "It's the Kunpeng! The Kunpeng that stirred up the Northern Sea and caused a great war between the Wu and Yao races!"

The Eastern King Duke's boundless hatred, mixed with blood and tears, surged: "They stole my spiritual treasure and destroyed my foundation of cultivation... I swear I will not become an immortal if I do not avenge this!" He staggered to his feet, looked at the primordial continent, and a mad calculation flashed in his eyes.

The Eastern King Duke grinned menacingly: "The humiliation of the Northern Underworld, the secret of the Chaos Bell—the demon race wishes they could devour its flesh alive!"

The Eastern King Duke transformed into a dim golden light and rushed towards the Sun God Palace, his roar fading into the wind and waves: "Kunpeng! You just wait!"

Meanwhile, deep within the Sun.

The Fusang Divine Tree stood proudly, with strands of golden flames hanging from its branches, flowing with the incomparably blazing true fire of the sun.

Beneath the tree, Di Jun sat cross-legged in meditation, his expression solemn, his hands forming mysterious hand seals, with the Hetu and Luoshu floating in front of him.

The two innate spiritual treasures shone brightly on each other, flowing with complex and profound light patterns and Daoist charm, radiating supreme power to deduce heavenly secrets and understand all things.

On the tree, Donghuang Taiyi transformed into his three-legged golden crow form, still holding the Chaos Bell, his body surrounded by blazing golden flames surging like the sea.

With a muffled thud!

Donghuang Taiyi suddenly opened his eyes, and the chaotic bell phantom around him trembled and roared, with a powerful pressure sweeping across the entire Sun God Palace.

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi, a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, had achieved enlightenment!

Di Jun clapped his hands and laughed, the Hetu Luoshu star map receding: "Second brother's destruction and rebirth is truly a blessing for the demon race!"

Donghuang Taiyi's eyes blazed with golden flames: "Brother, is there any news of Kunpeng? I will personally crush that salted fish scale armor upon my breakthrough!"

Di Jun shook his head helplessly, "The last place that fellow appeared was in the East Sea, but we don't know exactly where. Even with my deductions using the Hetu and Luoshu, I can hardly figure it out."

"He likely possesses a primordial spiritual treasure that can block the secrets of heaven and conceal himself, and its grade is not low."

At that moment, a demon god urgently reported: "Your Majesty! A purple-robed Taoist priest from the East Sea requests an audience, claiming to be the Eastern King Duke, and has come specifically to see Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor!"

"I originally intended to inform His Majesty that he was in seclusion, but he insisted on seeing me. I really didn't know what to do, so I reported this to His Majesty."

"Dongwanggong, how did this guy find our demon race? And he specifically asked to see my second brother." Dijun couldn't understand.

After all, the two sides didn't have much interaction, and Di Jun even sent his men to recruit him.

The other party refused very decisively.

Di Jun didn't pay much attention to this, after all, he was still a long way from unifying all the races on the continent, let alone going to the four seas.

Therefore, I didn't pay much attention to it, but I didn't expect the other party to come at this time.

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi exchanged a glance and decided to go and meet this Dongwanggong.
