The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 614 The Heavenly Emperor's Favor Can Never Be Repaid

After suddenly learning the true secret of the Tao Te Ching, Luo Zu's tense nerves relaxed.

As for whether this secret is just his imagination, he has considered it. Although there is a considerable possibility, I think that's enough.

After much thought, I realized that this method perfectly aligns with the concept of Hunyuan. If I continue practicing in this way, I will surely attain Hunyuan.

It might actually work out.

"Fellow Daoist Diting, are you still there?" Luo Zu asked leisurely.

"What is it?" Di Ting chimed in.

"Could you please take a look at the current situation in Kunlun Mountain?" Luo Zu asked.

"Alright." Di Ting didn't object.

Although Di Ting works for the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Court, it's not a big deal for him to help his "close friend" with a small favor.

After all, He spends all day monitoring the entire prehistoric world, investigating and observing everything, and verifying countless matters. Many powerful figures from the demon race and the Heavenly Court seek Him out.

However, precisely because of this, the powerful demons were quite wary of Him. After all, even the Taiyi Daluo could no longer hide in front of them, let alone them.

Some demon gods would also use Di Ting to find the whereabouts of other demon gods. In addition, the demon god Bai Ze was in charge of the "performance" of the Heavenly Court. Every ten thousand years, he would ask Di Ting to settle accounts, to record the activity trajectory of each demon race, as well as the things they had done, whether the tasks assigned by the Heavenly Court had been done well, and the degree of completion. In this way, the positions and rewards and punishments for the next ten thousand years would be determined. Over the years, Di Ting had unintentionally made many enemies.

This was also the main reason why no demon god came to the aid of the Three Immortal Islands when Di Ting challenged them last time. This made him particularly disheartened, since he was also working for the Heavenly Court, but none of the other demon gods understood.

Helplessness, frustration, and shame filled his heart, but he had nowhere to vent his feelings. Although the Heavenly Emperor summoned him to the Lingxiao Palace and said many comforting words, and even gave him more authority and the right to command some of the star field demon gods and demon armies, he still couldn't understand it.

What He truly desired was not these rights, but rather to relinquish this position. However, under the earnest persuasion of the Heavenly Emperor, He had no choice but to continue shining in this role.

After all, there is almost no one in this world who can replace Him.

Although the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor also possess such abilities, if they were to handle such a "minor matter," it would likely frighten even the most powerful beings in the world and cause considerable trouble.

As for other powerful beings, they cannot conceal their methods of detection in front of other powerful beings, and their flaws will inevitably be discovered.

Therefore, this matter could only fall on the shoulders of Di Ting.

Even if Di Ting was unwilling, what could he do? The Heavenly Emperor's decree was heavier than Mount Buzhou, and the Heavenly Emperor's kindness... He could never finish it.

However, while monitoring other living beings, it is also good to chat with Luo Zu. Moreover, observing the actions of all living beings in the world can bring a lot of inspiration to his cultivation. Luo Zu is not the only one among them.

However, Luo Zu is more special and can give Him more inspiration, especially the method of the primordial spirit.

Therefore, when Luo Zu asked for His help, He naturally did not refuse, especially since it did not conflict with the decrees of the Heavenly Court.

Furthermore, He had already recorded this matter and presented it to the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Emperor did not give any further instructions, indicating that it was not a major issue.

Although He deeply believed that this matter would have a profound impact on the prehistoric world, this was only His opinion.

After all, this matter involves Kunlun Mountain, three sages, and the Chan and Jie sects. There are many powerful and powerful individuals involved, including many of the powerful and powerful individuals from the immortal sects that were once rivals of the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Emperor seemed to turn a blind eye to this, an attitude that is truly intriguing.

Therefore, Di Ting actually has more autonomy in this matter, which makes it inconvenient for him to speak with Luo Zu.

There is a lot of relevant information. After so many years of debate and discussion, although it has not yet escalated to the level of personal attacks, it is not far off. The reason for this is that Xuandu Daoist and others have spared no effort and worked tirelessly day and night to preside over the proceedings. Otherwise, a full-blown fight would have already started.

As for the Tao Te Ching bestowed by the Celestial Venerable of Morality, it was useful, but only to a certain extent. Some disciples of the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect were so engrossed in their arguments that they could not calm down.

However, these debates have made them more and more advanced in their Taoist cultivation. After all, they can no longer lie down and sleep for thousands or tens of thousands of years with just a blink of an eye. Now, they stare at their opponents without blinking, thinking about the loopholes in their words and trying to refute them.

There were quite a few practitioners from both religions who were so excited that they took turns performing, criticizing each other until dawn, and then fighting three hundred more times the next day, not returning until they vomited blood.

The main issue now has shifted to the debate over whether the chicken or the egg came first.

In other words, did the creation of heaven and earth come first, or did the destruction of heaven and earth come first?

At first glance, it must be the creation of heaven and earth that came first, but then it is said that heaven and earth are in a cycle of destruction and creation, creation and destruction. Under such circumstances, who is still in the first place?

Will each of these pivotal universes be completely stripped bare?

Of course, the cyclical universe here refers to the present-day universe. As for the primordial universe, it cannot be proven at present whether it had a previous cosmic era.

However, based on the repeated cycles observed in the vast universe, it can be inferred that the primordial multiverse may have also undergone this process.

The Chan sect insists that the creation of heaven and earth came first, which is the origin of the Three Pure Ones lineage. The Jade Pure Saint is revered, the Supreme Pure Saint is the elder, and the Upper Pure Saint is extinct. In this way, the Three Pure Ones are the fundamental guide to heaven, earth, and the universe.

But now this group of people is going to start debating who among the Three Pure Ones is the most venerable. Even if the Three Pure Ones themselves were to decide on this issue, they would not be able to give a clear answer, let alone their disciples.

But after repeated expositions and discussions, they escalated the matter further, because this was the root of the problem, and this was what they were actually fighting for.

Of course, if these things were seen by outsiders, they would surely have a simple answer. Just as Luo Zu believed, the Three Pure Ones were not ranked in terms of seniority; it all depended on the era in which the prehistoric world existed.

In the early days of creation, the Primordial Celestial Venerable was naturally the leader. However, as the universe has evolved, the Moral Celestial Venerable will be the most respected. When the universe reaches its end, the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable will emerge with his sword to oversee the destruction of the universe, and he will be the most respected.

The Three Pure Ones obviously wouldn't compete for these things. They are no longer in the universe and are not affected by the primordial forces. But their disciples and descendants might be different. Don't you see that even the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor have to compete with the Wu Clan for power and fortune? How much more so for these "small figures" like them?

But if we fight this battle, we might as well fight against the Heavenly Court.

"How can we struggle and cultivate in this primordial world alongside insects like you?"

Luo Zu had noticed that these guys had recently been using some underhanded tactics against him.
