Primordial Era: I, Wutu, govern the Earthly Dao and suppress the Heavenly Dao.

Just as Zhen Yuanzi had predicted, at the same time that the supreme treasure Taiji Diagram appeared at Yin Yang Wuji Mountain,

Above the vast and boundless heavens, a cloud of auspiciousness suddenly appeared!

Within this cloud, the primordial world is faintly visible, and celestial music resounds throughout the universe.

It exudes a magnificent five-colored radiance and righteous energy, accompanied by golden lamps, golden lotuses, necklaces, and dangling beads, truly a symbol of auspiciousness filling the sky.

This is precisely the extraordinary treasure of the Heavenly Dao—the Auspicious Clouds of All Heavens!

However, the appearance of such a treasure was not noticed by the myriad beings of the primordial world; only the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth, who sat cross-legged between heaven and earth, was aware of it!

The Ancestor of Heaven and Earth suddenly opened his eyes and decisively soared towards the heavens.

Upon seeing this extraordinary treasure of the Heavenly Dao, he was overjoyed, and his previously hesitant Dao heart completely swayed towards the Heavenly Dao:

"It's actually a rare treasure from the Heavenly Dao, comparable to a supreme innate treasure!"

"Even in the primordial world, its defensive power surpasses that of innate supreme treasures!"

"Then why should I seek to prove the Great Dao? My Dao is inherently Qian and Kun, and its essence resides within Qian and Kun. Proving the Dao within the primordial world is my true path!"

With a clear understanding of the Dao, the Ancestor Qiankun suddenly felt that the path ahead was bright, but his comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth was still insufficient, and he had not yet improved his cultivation...

Yin Yang Wuji Mountain.

Zhen Yuanzi used his supernatural ability to shrink the earth to an inch to travel hundreds of millions of miles to the foot of the mountain.

He looked up at the huge illusory Tai Chi diagram on the mountaintop, his eyes filled with determination.

But just then, a cold, aged voice suddenly came from the mountaintop:

"Fellow Daoist, you've come uninvited; could it be that you're here to forcibly seize my most precious treasure?"

Hearing the Yin-Yang Daoist's chilling voice, Zhen Yuanzi remained unmoved and replied calmly:

"Fellow Daoist, your words are flawed. You and I both know that this treasure has only recently appeared in the world and has not yet found an owner. How could it be your treasure?"

"The Taiji diagram was born in my Daoist temple, so it is a treasure destined for me. Fellow Daoist, you should not covet it."

The ensuing angry words made Zhen Yuanzi's lips curl into a slight smile, and he immediately uttered an unquestionable and resolute statement.

"This treasure is also destined for me!"

"You..."

The Yin-Yang Ancestor was thoroughly enraged, and his Dao body suddenly appeared on the mountain peak.

Like the aged voice, it belonged to an elderly man dressed in a black and white Taoist robe.

The Yin-Yang Ancestor's eyes shone like the alternation of the sun and moon, and his body radiated Yin and Yang energies. He stood high above, staring directly at Zhen Yuanzi below the mountain.

"In that case, I request that you, fellow Daoist, break through my Primordial Yin-Yang Grand Array to prove our predestined connection!"

Before the words were finished, the Yin-Yang Ancestor suddenly summoned the Yin-Yang Mirror, a magical treasure, and placed it on the mountain peak.

In an instant.

The entire Yin-Yang Wuji Mountain trembled violently, and the Yin and Yang energies that had gathered here poured down like a waterfall, enveloping the entire immortal mountain!

Above the massive black and white array of light, the yin and yang fish flowed around, eventually evolving into the shapes of Yin and Yang, the Four Symbols, and the Eight Trigrams!

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi felt relieved.

It is understood that while he was comprehending the Taiji Diagram and understanding its laws, the Yin-Yang Daoist's understanding of the Yin-Yang laws had also greatly improved, making the power of this great formation even greater than before!

Despite the imposing formation, Zhen Yuanzi didn't even flinch.

If the Yin-Yang Ancestor could use the Taiji Diagram, it would make him treat the matter more cautiously.

But what we see before us is merely a formation with a top-grade spiritual treasure as its core.

Even with the amplification from magical treasures like the Yin-Yang Flag and Yin-Yang Bottle, it was nothing more than a minor amplification to him.

Zhen Yuanzi clenched his fist, and the World-Suppressing Staff, a treasure of acquired merit, appeared in his palm. He raised his head and spoke:

"Fellow Daoist, please watch closely. I will only use one strike of my staff. If this strike cannot break your formation, the Taiji Diagram will belong to you, and I will turn around and leave."

Upon hearing these confident and domineering words, the Yin-Yang Ancestor, equally confident, revealed a disdainful sneer.

"Since you speak so arrogantly, fellow Daoist, then please enter the formation quickly and let me see how you can shatter my Yin-Yang Grand Formation with a single staff strike!"

"Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken."

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head, and when he met the gaze of the Yin-Yang Ancestor again, his expression was completely indifferent:

"I can break this formation even without entering it!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhen Yuanzi raised his right hand, and the Zhen Shi Staff suddenly transformed into a golden light that shot out. Then, it released the power of the Wu Earth, which was wrapped with many laws, and slammed it hard into the light screen of the Yin Yang Grand Array!

Click!

The collision between the two produced no loud noise, only a shattering sound that shocked the Yin-Yang Ancestor to the point of losing his soul!

The Yin and Yang energies within the Primordial Yin-Yang Grand Array were reversed and collapsed, shattering in response!

The Yin-Yang Twin Fish were instantly destroyed by the World-Suppressing Staff. The Yin-Yang Ancestor's symbiotic spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Mirror, which was at the core of the formation, as well as the Yin-Yang Flag, Yin-Yang Plate, and other magical treasures, were directly blasted away millions of miles!

A single staff strike shattered the Yin-Yang Grand Array!

"Pfft~"

The great formation was broken, and the Yin-Yang Ancestor suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His body swayed, and he collapsed to the ground, his old face as pale as paper.

He stared in horror and disbelief at Zhen Yuanzi, who had appeared before him as if he were in an insurmountable barrier from the foot of the mountain, his voice trembling slightly:

"How...how is this possible?"

"You and I are both clearly at the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, how could you break through my formation so easily?"

In the blink of an eye, their positions were switched.

Zhen Yuanzi, looking down from his high position, spoke calmly:

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but I have already reached the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm."

"The reason you didn't sense it was simply because I deliberately concealed it, testing whether I could break the formation with a single strike at the same time as you."

"..."

These words were even more severe than the backlash from the breaking of the great formation; they were like an iron fist slamming heavily into the Dao heart of the Yin-Yang Ancestor.

"Hiding your true strength, you defeated me with a single strike while still in the same period... Pfft!"

Feeling deeply slighted, his strength far inferior to the Yin Yang Ancestor's, and unable to comprehend the reason, the Yin Yang Ancestor's blood surged, and he spat out another mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground, his vision going black.

Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation of the Earthly Dao has already embodied the complete Yin-Yang laws, so it can naturally suppress and stir up the Yin and Yang of this place, causing the Yin and Yang energies in the formation to be reversed and unable to be maintained, thus easily breaking the formation.

Zhen Yuanzi glanced indifferently at the heavily injured and unconscious Yin Yang Ancestor, then casually walked past him.

He did not kill it, not because he was raising a tiger to cause trouble, but because the Yin-Yang Ancestor was still useful.

In the future, Yin Yang will not only go to the Beast God Palace with other demon gods to kill Shen Ni, but also lead Qiankun to set off a grand fireworks display together with Luo Hou, who possesses the number one killing formation in the primordial world!

It would be such a waste to kill him now.

Not killing is a pre-planned strategy!

Zhen Yuanzi stepped toward the supreme treasure, the Taiji Diagram, which floated in the void.

Before he could get close, he used the laws of the earth and the laws of space to firmly imprison the Taiji diagram.

They were afraid that this treasure, which had just been transferred here by the Heavenly Dao, would be transferred again.

The duck that's almost within your grasp must not be let fly away!

Even though Zhen Yuanzi knew that his actions might be somewhat unnecessary, he still did it anyway.

After all, this is a rare and precious opportunity to obtain the Taiji Diagram and prevent it from aiding the power of the Heavenly Dao in the future!

If we fail this time, we will be refined by Yin and Yang, making it much more difficult to obtain again. Not only that, we might also fall into the hands of Hongjun, just like in my memory!

At that time, Hongjun's strength will increase greatly, and he will be able to attain the Dao and merge with the Dao more quickly, causing the power of the Heavenly Dao to surge and completely control the prehistoric world, suppressing the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao so that they will have no chance to rise again!

Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi must be cautious and must obtain the ownerless Taiji Diagram.

Indeed, nothing more happened until Zhen Yuanzi took the Taiji diagram into his palm.

Zhen Yuanzi, having mastered the Taiji diagram, murmured in relief.

"It seems that the Heavenly Dao has indeed exhausted too much energy and has fallen into slumber once again."

"Given its current self-protective measures, it will at least have to wait until the Great Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts ends before it can awaken again."

"This timeframe is precisely the opportunity for us to help the tunnel awaken!"
