The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

The situation in the Nine Heavens Great Thousand Worlds will not change because of the departure of Daoist Xinru, after all, his power is not very large. However, Daoist Xuanhuang has brought in a group of new forces, pushing this struggle for supremacy between the universe's overlords to another level.

The new forces he brought into the Nine Heavens were considered native to the universe, not reinforcements from other universes. Even if he had such thoughts, Luo Zu would never allow an invasion from another universe.

As for which force Xuanhuang Daoist brought and what kind of support he obtained,

This is something many people didn't expect; it's one of the innate spiritual treasures of this universe.

Although they are restricted by Luo Zu and cannot possess power comparable to Golden Immortals upon birth, Xuanhuang Daoists can shed their shells and reincarnate, so they can naturally do the same. However, shedding their shells is not easy and cannot be done casually. Perfecting one's cultivation is a prerequisite, and external assistance is also required. Otherwise, how can one communicate with the inside and outside and shed one's primordial spirit?

Of course, if one's cultivation level is truly high, then one will not need external assistance and can quietly shed their shell on their own.

However, in this world, there are ultimately more innate spiritual treasures that have shed their original form with the help of external forces, such as the Xuanhuang Daoist.

Because of Xuanhuang Daoren's special identity, he can communicate with those innate spiritual treasures and invite them to help him.

As for the conditions for success, they are simple: help them shed their shells.

Six millennia after Luo Zu's clone attained Taiyi, this struggle for supremacy finally reached its most intense moment.

The two sides clashed fiercely in a star field composed of three thousand desolate stars. This desolate star field was not originally like this. It was all caused by their battle, which resulted in the death and injury of all living beings in it, and finally turned it into such a barren and lifeless place.

The two sides fought fiercely for a long time in this desolate star field, sending out a large number of disciples. Today you take a star, tomorrow I will take it back. The two sides were locked in a tug-of-war, during which countless people died. Within a hundred years, more than three million people were killed or injured. Among them, more than a thousand True Immortals perished, more than a hundred Celestial Immortals fell, and Xuan Immortals also fell on both sides. Hun Kun's side died three times, and Xuanhuang's side died two times.

The intensity of the battle was truly escalating, but Luo Zu remained calm and composed. In any case, the method of the primordial spirit had already spread, and it was spreading even faster with the fighting among these people. Because they needed to add more troops, both sides began to mass produce soldiers. Hun Kun, together with several Xuanxian disciples, jointly refined a Heavenly Gate. Even ordinary people who entered it could quickly condense a breath of immortal energy in their chest and abdomen, and then, after being tempered through various methods, they could train into battle soldiers who could form battle formations. No matter how intense the battle with the enemy, they could leapfrog in combat.

Xuanhuang's approach was even more direct: mass-producing Heavenly Demons by drawing upon malevolent energy, evil energy, and curse rays from the void of the universe, from various stars and suns, and then crafting all sorts of Heavenly Demons. Heavenly Demons are inherently warlike, and being refined from malevolent energy and other negative energies, these Heavenly Demons are all cruel and bloodthirsty, possessing an extreme desire for flesh and blood towards any living being.

Faced with such a ferocious demon, Hun Kun specially developed intelligent puppets. Then, cultivators used their divine sense to communicate with a large number of intelligent puppets to enter the battlefield and fight against the demon.

Over the past millennium, the methods and magical artifacts used by both sides in their battles have been constantly updated and improved. Now, magical artifacts that ordinary people can control have been created, as well as magical artifacts that can annihilate a star the size of Earth with a single strike.

The pills are even more outrageous. There are pills that can stimulate the potential of mortals, enabling them to reach the level of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation within three days, as well as pills that can stimulate the power of Xuanxian, enabling them to unleash the power of Xuanxian at its limit within three hours.

Another method involves directly creating life and sending it to fight on the battlefield.

The two sides went back and forth, constantly pushing the limits, but neither managed to reach the Golden Immortal realm.

In addition, they also made use of the mysteries of the national fortune, creating a grand formation of national power on the front lines to block the enemy's advance, and also continuously injecting the national fortune into the soldiers fighting on the front lines.

They also devised various creative ways to utilize the power of destiny and fortune, gathering, extracting, transforming, and integrating it into the national destiny and fortune. They further categorized and developed corresponding methods of use to downgrade the impact on the enemy's national destiny and fortune, and used these methods to refine national treasures and magical artifacts.

After observing all these examples, Luo Zu was not surprised. Many powerful beings in the prehistoric world had studied the concept of "great power." Wasn't it precisely because of these great powers that those Taiyi Daluo gathered together? If there were no benefits from great power, what would they do together? They would still be driven by their superiors and have to maintain the laws and regulations within their respective powers. These were all laborious and mentally taxing tasks. They had already possessed and enjoyed the benefits brought by great power. For example, the Star Gods and Demon Gods in the Heavenly Court all had corresponding official ranks and the assistance of corresponding great power, which could improve their cultivation level and even allow them to cross a major realm. For example, the Sixth Prince of the Golden Crow.

It's a pity that the overall fortune and momentum of a vast universe doesn't significantly enhance the cultivation of a Taiyi Immortal. Otherwise, countless Taiyi Immortals would personally step in to compete for this momentum, instead of these Xuanxian and Tianxian Immortals engaging in fierce battles.

So although their research was valuable, Luo Zu didn't pay much attention to it. What really drew his attention was Xinru Daoren's work.

The Taiyi that spread in its vast universe did not spread the mainstream of the Divine Soul Dao, but rather a newly created Dao method, somewhat similar to Corpse-Dissolving Immortal. It was about freeing oneself from the shackles of the body and refining a pure spiritual energy shell, thus becoming a life form transformation close to that of a Golden Immortal. However, instead of transforming oneself into the Great Dao, it integrated into spiritual energy and other forms of energy.

This method of cultivation has its wonders, but it also has many drawbacks. The beings in this universe do not pursue physical strength, but only spiritual strength. This often leads to the body being unable to bear the powerful spirit and collapsing, or undergoing alienation. As a result, the body disintegrates to replenish the spirit, but the spirit collapses and feeds back to the body, turning into a kind of walking corpse-like monster.

Zombies are not zombies, nor are zombies. They do not have any inexplicable needs such as craving for the flesh and blood of living beings. They simply keep consuming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and their steps cannot stop. They keep walking and walking on the earth without interruption.

For such beings, Luo Zu prefers to call them spirit demons, spirit corpses, or remnants of corpse dissolution.

As for zombies and similar creatures, they actually existed in the prehistoric world. Most of them lurked beneath the earth and only appeared at night. The Golden Crow Princes were too energetic and deeply hated these evil creatures. So whenever they saw them, they burned them to ashes without leaving a trace.

Although Luo Zu did not know where their hatred came from, perhaps it was the innate instinct of the Golden Crow.

Xinru Daoren adapted to the new universe quite quickly. However, because he had entered the world illegally, although Luo Zu helped to cover it up, he was still discovered. Therefore, the second plan had to be activated, and Luo Zu sent him to be reincarnated.

After a full eighteen rounds, it finally cleaned up its tail and completely cleared its name, becoming a living being in this universe.

Furthermore, with Luo Zu restraining him, Taiyi could no longer detect his presence.

In order to spread the Primordial Spirit Techniques throughout this universe, Luo Zu personally sent numerous Primordial Spirit Techniques into this universe. These techniques were diverse and numerous, which made Taiyi dizzy. He tried to capture one after another, inevitably missing many. In the end, he directly prohibited the Primordial Spirit Techniques from operating in this universe from the very foundation of the rules. Only then did he feel at ease and stop chasing and blocking the Primordial Spirit Techniques that Luo Zu had spread.

The purpose of Keluo Zu spreading the method of primordial spirit was only one: to draw fire to Xinru Daoren.

As for whether the method of cultivating the primordial spirit can be practiced in this universe, there is no constant in the method, only change. The method of cultivating the primordial spirit of Luo Zu has never been a rigid and inconvenient thing. It changes with the times and follows the will of Heaven. As long as the primordial spirit can be cultivated, other minor details can be trimmed and changed without any problem.

Therefore, Luo Zu also granted Xinru Daoren the right to make special arrangements. As for whether Xinru Daoren could understand or whether he was determined to cultivate the unchanged Yuan Shen method in this world, Luo Zu would not interfere.

However, Xinru Daoren was no fool. After receiving a hint from Luo Zu and realizing that the new universe was indeed not suitable for the old version of the Primordial Spirit Method, he improved the Primordial Spirit Method according to the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal Method of this world. In addition, he also incorporated some local methods of this world that were similar to witchcraft and rituals into his cultivation.

After thirty years of painstaking research, he succeeded.

Having broken through the local Taiyi's blockade, they were able to take their first step in this universe where the cultivation of the primordial spirit was forbidden.

After refining essence into qi, one then refines qi into spirit, refines spirit to return to emptiness, refines emptiness to unite with the Dao, and finally achieves the primordial spirit.

When the Taoist Xinru achieved his goal, Taiyi could no longer sit still and took the initiative to show himself to find Luozu.

"Fellow Daoist, you are truly capable!" This Taiyi, in the Outer Heaven, transformed from formless to form, appearing before Luo Zu in the form of a great elephant and a great sound.

"I am far inferior to you, fellow Daoist." Luo Zu, standing outside the Nine Heavens Universe, took the time to part the thick membrane of the universe, revealing all the phenomena and environments within.

Within this, methods beyond the primordial spirit are being disseminated.

Yes, the overall trend of fortune is nothing more than a smokescreen cast by this Taiyi in the Nine Heavens Universe.

"I'm merely giving you an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Do you still wish to argue with me, fellow Daoist?" Luo Zu questioned.

"I wouldn't dare," the other side immediately admitted defeat.

He had heard many rumors about Luo Zu, who had many powerful backers. However, his cultivation period was relatively short, only a few hundred thousand years, so his foundation was bound to be shallow. That was why he thought of coming here to cause trouble.

It could sense Luo Zu's attainments in the Taiyi realm, especially the pressure of the Daoist aura brought by the high dimension of the primordial world, which made it feel inferior and thus dared not fight with him too much.

Luo Zu did not expect that He would give in so easily. He had originally planned to fight Him, suppress Him, and then search for His aura throughout the prehistoric world to completely suppress Him.

Now that He has softened His stance, Luo Zu is in a difficult position, as he has no legitimate reason to act: "Then I would like to ask you, fellow Daoist, to look after this realm for me, how about it?" (End of this chapter)
