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

Chapter 85 The Great Dao, Zhen Yuanzi abuses his power for personal gain! The Four Symbols guard the four directions.

"I thought he was plotting something."

"After all this planning, it turns out you only intended to create four top-grade innate spiritual treasures for your disciple. This is truly a petty scheme!"

Hongjun's disdainful words were clearly heard by his disciples, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and Fuxi.

They were all speechless.

Taiqing: "Just for four top-grade innate spiritual treasures? Do you have them now?"

Yuqing: Teacher~ Did you bestow a spiritual treasure upon me? Was it just for Xiaomou?

Fuxi: Look at other people's teachers, and then look at this one—he's been busy for dozens, even hundreds of years, and finally obtained the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, but it's still incomplete!

Nuwa: The Jade Disc of Creation is incomplete! The Divine Pearl that Stabilizes the Sea is also incomplete!

That's true~ Even this old earthworm is incomplete, so incompleteness paired with incompleteness does suit him quite well~

Shang Qing remained silent and did not speak, but simply fiddled with the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl that now belonged to him.

The Five Elements Ancestor gazed at the southern lands, his eyes filled with a profound solemnity rather than disdain. "Fellow Daoist Hongjun," he said, "the emergence of these four supreme-grade innate spiritual treasures should not be underestimated."

"You should know that these Four Symbols Divine Trees were transformed from the Four Symbols Demon Gods after they were punished by the Heavenly Dao."

"And now that it has matured under his hands and transformed into the four treasures corresponding to his disciples, it is enough to prove that he had planned this matter countless eons ago."

"Such a far-reaching plan cannot be as simple as it appears on the surface."

"That's right!"

Luo Yi responded, then stared intently at Hongjun and said solemnly, "Hongjun, regardless of what Zhen Yuanzi is plotting or what other tricks he has up his sleeve, this is undoubtedly an act of abusing his power for personal gain on behalf of his disciple!"

"Since you are in accordance with the will of Heaven, you should promptly report this matter to the Heavenly Court and ask for its impartiality!"

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, Fellow Daoist Luohou is absolutely right."

The Five Elements Association readily agreed with this proposal.

Although he had no prior connection with Zhen Yuanzi, he gained Huang Zhongli and the disciple Dong Wanggong through his visit to Penglai Island.

However, he was also tricked into being confined to Penglai, unable to leave for so many years. This opportunity to settle the karmic debts has arrived, how could he let it pass?

Hongjun naturally understood that the emergence of these four spiritual treasures was not so simple.

The reason he uttered those disdainful words was simply to try and salvage some of the dough he had thrown away while yelling.

At this moment, his old face was full of excitement. Even without Luo Yan's reminder, he knew what he had to do.

Zhen Yuanzi!

"You schemed against me and the Heavenly Dao at Buzhou Mountain, complaining to the Great Dao and causing the Heavenly Dao's selfishness to be erased. Now it's finally my turn!"

"I will avenge this grudge! I will settle this score!"

Thinking of this, Hongjun's eyes burned with fervor, and he suddenly raised his head and shouted, "The Great Dao, the Heavenly Dao, are above!"

"I am Hongjun, and I have discovered that Zhen Yuanzi, the benefactor of the Earthly Dao, has been using his power within the Earthly Dao to privately acquire four top-grade innate spiritual treasures for his four disciples!"

"This is him abusing his power for personal gain!"

"May the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

The voice was high-pitched and, under Hongjun's full urging, it spread throughout the entire prehistoric world.

Upon hearing this, all the myriad beings of the primordial world were astonished, and they all fixed their terrified gazes on the south.

really.

The instant Hongjun finished speaking, a pair of enormous eyes suddenly appeared from the heavens above, radiating a terrifying pressure that surpassed all living beings!

This is precisely—the Eye of Heaven!

As for the Great Dao, it has not yet manifested.

The Great Dao has now retreated into the primordial wilderness; it will not reappear unless sought out by the Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Hongjun is not comparable to Zhenyuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi holds the power over the Earthly Dao and is its benefactor. It is reasonable for him to seek out the Great Dao, and the Great Dao will naturally manifest itself.

But Hongjun has no authority over the Heavenly Dao. Not only has he not yet attained enlightenment, but even if he did attain the Dao of a Heavenly Dao Saint, if he wanted to complain to the Great Dao, he—

They don't deserve it!

The Great Way is not manifest; only the Way of Heaven is revealed.

Upon seeing this, Hongjun showed no disappointment or loss, but instead became exceptionally confident.

Only the will of Heaven can reveal itself?

That's enough!

As long as the impartial Heavenly Way recognizes his abuse of power for personal gain, and because he is the master of the Earthly Way, Heavenly Way will surely report this matter to the Great Dao for appropriate punishment!

By then, Zhen Yuanzi's reign as the master of this underground realm will be over, hahaha~

At this moment, the Eye of Heaven hung high in the nine heavens and fell upon Zhen Yuanzi, the ruler of the southern land.

Zhen Yuanzi, who was being watched by the Heavenly Dao, felt no guilt whatsoever.

Instead, he raised his head, his gaze indifferent as he met the eyes of Heaven, and shouted sharply, "Heavenly Dao!"

"You have no right to supervise or authenticate matters concerning my territory."

As these words fell, all the beings in the primordial world trembled from the shock of these domineering words.

In the vast and ancient world, who would dare to speak to the Dao of Heaven like this?

Only this Patriarch Zhenyuan could do it!

Not only did he dare to speak to the Heavenly Dao like this, but he also dared to seek the Great Dao to punish the Heavenly Dao for its selfishness, simply because he was the Lord of the Earthly Dao!

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao: The Heavenly Dao Eye blinked slightly, and that long-lost feeling of weakness and helplessness returned.

It had to admit what Zhen Yuanzi said.

Its position in the Heavenly Way is equivalent to that in the Earthly Way, and it indeed has no right to judge or supervise the Earthly Way.

However, just because it can't does that mean its older brother can't either.

If you can't handle it, you can always report it to someone behind your back.

Just as Heaven was about to report this matter to the Great Dao of Justice, Zhen Yuanzi's majestic voice, like a resounding bell, rang out again: "Now that the Great Dao has come to judge my words of abusing power for personal gain..."

"Then Zhen Yuanzi will also testify before the Great Dao and before all living beings in the primordial world, giving an explanation!"

The moment he finished speaking, Zhen Yuanzi raised his hand and flicked his sleeve, instantly summoning the four suspended spiritual treasures before him. "Where are my disciples, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Azure Dragon?"

"Disciple is here!"

Upon hearing this, the four disciples hurriedly bowed respectfully to the Eastern Spiritual Vein, the Southern Land, and Longevity Mountain.

"White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise."

"I hereby command you to immediately enter the spiritual veins of the west, south, and north, and together with the Azure Dragon, guard the four directions of the land!"

"Disciple obeys!"

Unlike Hongjun's disciples, the three disciples had no doubts about their teacher's orders, nor did they hesitate in the slightest.

Upon receiving their orders, they instantly transformed into streams of light and swiftly disappeared into the earth's spiritual veins.

Just as they entered the earth's spiritual veins, the power of the earth suddenly erupted, sending them to three different parts of the earth!

The White Tiger enters the western land, the Vermilion Bird enters the southern land, and the Black Tortoise enters the northern land.

Sensing that his three disciples had arrived at the three major spiritual veins, Zhen Yuanzi immediately waved his hand and sent the four spiritual treasures in front of him into the earth.

In an instant, the entire primordial world trembled!

The Azure Dragon Whip, White Tiger Token, Vermilion Bird Flag, and Black Tortoise Seal simultaneously shot out in four directions, appearing swiftly and precisely before the four corresponding disciples.

"These four spiritual treasures are bestowed upon you by your master in accordance with the principle of stabilizing the primordial world. I hope that you will all follow this principle in the future."

Upon hearing this, the Azure Dragon in the East suddenly realized something, hurriedly put away the Azure Dragon Whip, raised its head and roared: "I am the Azure Dragon. Today, I have been bestowed with the Azure Dragon Whip, a treasure of the Earthly Dao, by my master. In accordance with the principle of the stability of the Earthly Dao, I shall continue to guard the spiritual veins in the far east and protect the vitality of wood."

In the West, the White Tiger, Zhan Xiao, suddenly realized the truth and received the White Tiger Token. The tiger roared through the mountains and forests: "I am the White Tiger. Now, having received the White Tiger Token, a treasure of the Earthly Dao, bestowed upon me by my master, I shall, in accordance with the principle of the stability of the Earthly Dao, henceforth guard the spiritual veins in the westernmost region, using the power of metal to quell the evil spirits that cause chaos!"

The Vermilion Bird of the South unfurls its banner, its phoenix cry echoing through the heavens; the Black Tortoise of the North, bearing its seal, roars across the primordial world: "I am the Vermilion Bird, I am the Black Tortoise—in accordance with the principle of the earth's stability, from now on I will guard the spiritual veins at the southern and northern poles—!"

The four disciples unleashed the power of the laws of metal, wood, water, and fire across the four directions of the land, and their proclamation resounded throughout the primordial world!

This sound caused all living beings in the primordial world to tremble.

At this point, they realized that Zhen Yuanzi, the master of the underworld, was not abusing his power for personal gain at all!

Instead, he sent his disciples to guard the four directions of the land and bring blessings to the primordial world!

"I hereby command my disciples to guard the four corners of the land!"

"This is absolutely not an abuse of power for personal gain, but rather using one's own power to benefit the primordial world, to benefit all living beings in this primordial world!"

"Lord of the Earth—Great Benevolence!"

"Grandmaster Hongjun has truly harmed me!"

Hongjun: "————"
