Primordial Era: Taibai, the Poison Master of Yaochi, drives a Sage insane!

Chapter 35 The Excitement at Yaochi, Ruler and Subject as One!

The Chaos Bell, radiating a profound and yellow light, stretched across all directions. Thousands of innate Dao patterns intertwined layer upon layer. As the bell vibrated, the vast and ancient echoes of the beginning of creation could be faintly heard. Every breath of energy caused the surrounding void to collapse slightly, and the boundless power that suppressed all heavens spread rampantly.

Beside it, the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation shimmered with a white light, and the laws of the Three Thousand Great Daos were constantly being deduced and generated on the fragments. The origins and ultimate principles of all things in the world were all contained within it. Its mysterious aura was subtle and pervasive, yet it was more awe-inspiring than any weapon of mass destruction.

Yaochi and Li Taibai stood still, their eyes fixed on the two peerless treasures in the void. Their minds were completely filled with endless shock. Their bodies were stiff and motionless, their breathing almost stopped, and they were completely lost in a daze.

Neither of them expected that it would be these two priceless treasures.

Slowly, the two, who were still in a state of extreme shock, gradually came back to their senses. Their tense minds began to relax, but the turbulent waves surging in their chests had not yet subsided.

Yaochi slowly raised her hand, pointing to the two treasures, her tone carrying a hint of uncertainty, yet also revealing an undisguised excitement.

"Could this colossal Xuanhuang bell before us be the Eastern Emperor Bell once wielded by the Eastern Emperor Taiyi? And could this jade fragment, flowing with countless Dao patterns, be the legendary Jade Disc of Creation?"

Li Bai slowly calmed the turmoil in his heart, steadied his fluctuating emotions, and carefully examined the two treasures.

"In my entire life, I have never personally witnessed these two supreme treasures of the primordial world. Yet, throughout the entire primordial world, apart from the Eastern Emperor Bell, there is no other treasure that possesses such an unparalleled and majestic aura that suppresses the universe and stabilizes the cosmos. And the only treasure in the world capable of spontaneously evolving the three thousand Great Daos and fully revealing the mysteries of the origin of all things is the Jade Disc of Creation. Its appearance in the top-tier secret realm transformed from the Pangu Eye must be no mistake."

Yaochi nodded gently: "Back when I was still serving the Dao Ancestor in Zixiao Palace, I personally witnessed Donghuang Taiyi come to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao. The vast imperial might of the heavens surrounding Donghuang Taiyi is exactly the same as the aura emanating from this ancient bell. I never imagined that this innate treasure, which once shook the ancient era of witches and demons, whose whereabouts were once deduced by the sages, would end up here."

Upon hearing this, Li Taibai nodded slightly and slowly analyzed the reasons behind it, following the general trend of the primordial world.

"After the ancient war between the Lich King and the Demon King came to an end, Donghuang Taiyi perished in the world, and Donghuang Zhong disappeared completely from the primordial world. Countless powerful beings searched the four seas and eight wastelands, the nine heavens and ten earths, but could not find a trace of it. Everyone thought that this treasure had disappeared into the endless chaos during the war. Now it seems that it has been hidden in this secret realm."

"However, there are still many doubts about this matter. No one knows whether this treasure entered this place on its own by following the trajectory of heaven and earth, or whether it was moved here by someone with an unparalleled and mysterious secret method, or whether it was absorbed into the secret realm by an invisible force that was born within it."

""

Upon hearing this, Yaochi was filled with curiosity and immediately looked at Li Taibai beside her, asking softly.

"Taibai is meticulous and his predictions of major trends are always accurate and insightful. In your opinion, how exactly did Donghuang Zhong enter this secret realm?"

Li Taibai closed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "This secret realm was formed from the pupils of the eyes of the Great God Pangu. To completely break the ancient seal that has sealed this secret realm for countless ages, only someone who contains the primordial energy of Pangu's spirit can do it. In the past, the ancient demon race's great powers, such as Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun, did not possess such innate conditions, and they had never stepped into this secret realm. It is absolutely impossible that they personally sent the Donghuang Bell here to be sealed."

"According to my deduction, there is only one possibility for the truth: when the ancient war between the lich and the demon was about to end, it was drawn into the secret realm by its inherent powerful absorption force and flew into the secret realm on its own, and has been completely isolated from the world ever since."

Yaochi immediately nodded in understanding, then her gaze slowly shifted to the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc that was quietly floating to the side. Her expression became more solemn, and her eyes were full of heartfelt admiration.

"Compared to the overwhelming power and unparalleled killing and suppression of the Eastern Emperor Bell, this fragment of the Creation Jade Disc is truly a treasure that is hard to find even throughout the ages. Even the Dao Ancestor could not find any other fragments."

"Back when I served the Dao Ancestor in the Purple Cloud Palace, I was fortunate enough to see a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation held in his hand. The fragment he held was exactly one-third of the complete Jade Disc of Creation. Now, this fragment of the jade disc before me, in terms of its patterns..."

In terms of aura and fundamental essence, it also represents one-third of the original weight, equal to the fragment in the Dao Ancestor's hand.

Upon hearing this, Li Bai's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement and joy as he spoke solemnly.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely a tremendous opportunity that has befallen us, enough to shake the very foundations of the primordial world. It is a supreme blessing that countless powerful beings in the world dream of, and that they could never attain even after countless ages. The Jade Disc of Creation is the foremost treasure for comprehending the origin of the Great Dao and understanding the rules of heaven and earth. It is also the universally recognized supreme treasure for proving the Dao in the primordial world!"

Yaochi nodded slowly, naturally aware of the supreme value contained in the Creation Jade Disc, but still harbored many concerns, a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

"I naturally know that the Jade Disc of Creation is a supreme treasure for attaining enlightenment. However, now that this object has appeared in the world, I am at a loss as to what to do with this treasure. Should I send this fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation to the Purple Cloud Palace and return it to the Dao Ancestor, or should I keep it with me to study and comprehend it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Taibai immediately stepped forward.

This is not Yaochi's fault; given her background, it's no wonder she had such thoughts.

"Your Majesty, you must never entertain the thought of returning the Dao Ancestor; this is absolutely impossible!"

Yaochi paused slightly, then nodded: "I naturally understand Taibai's meaning. Having just left Haotian's side and Senior Brother Yuanshi's side, I have just developed an independent mind. I cannot extinguish my own desire for enlightenment. It is merely some lingering resentment that is troubling me!"

Yaochi understands this clearly; it's just a regret, not something that absolutely has to be this way!

Hearing this, Li Taibai felt much more at ease. Having endured the pressure all the way to this point, Yaochi's heart was truly firm, and her determination and ambition to attain enlightenment had fully materialized!

Li Bai calmed his mind and offered his advice in a clear and logical manner, every word coming from the bottom of his heart.

"Now the Dao Ancestor has completely merged with the Heavenly Dao, transcended the Three Realms and Five Elements, no longer concerned with the conflicts of the heavens, no longer involved in any power struggles, the struggle for the Great Dao, or the cycle of tribulations in the prehistoric world, and no longer cares about anything within the Three Realms."

"Now that Your Majesty is the Great Celestial Venerable who commands all immortals, personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor, you have long since broken free from the subservient system of the Heavenly Court. You now possess the Jade Pool Immortal Realm and have become a unique top-tier lord in the primordial world. You have your own path to the Great Dao and your own power structure. You no longer need to rely on the Dao Ancestor for everything, nor do you need to hand over the supreme opportunities you have obtained to others."

Yaochi nodded gently upon hearing this. Although she still had the sense of awe she had developed in Zixiao Palace, she was indeed letting go of it!

Li Bai saw through Yaochi's thoughts at a glance and continued to comfort her gently.

"Your Majesty, I know the source of your concerns. You served the Dao Ancestor for a long time and were deeply influenced by the rules of Zixiao Palace. You have long developed a sense of awe and obedience and subconsciously feel that the peerless treasure should belong to the Dao Ancestor. But Your Majesty must not forget that this secret realm was formed from the pupil of Pangu. In terms of its origin and foundation, it is in no way inferior to the Pangu Palace that once shook the primordial world. It is the most hidden and supreme pure land in the world."

"The entire secret realm is shrouded and isolated by the power of Pangu's origin. The heavenly Dao deduction techniques, divine soul detection methods, and heavenly secret calculation methods of all the sages of the heavens cannot penetrate this place even slightly. No one from the outside world can see the slightest movement within the secret realm, let alone know that the Eastern Emperor Bell and the Creation Jade Disc, two supreme treasures, are hidden here. This place is the perfect secret place for you and me, as ruler and subject, to discuss confidential matters, cultivate in seclusion, and hide opportunities. There is no other place in the world that can compare to the safety and seclusion of this place."

Yaochi listened quietly to the words, and all her entanglements and concerns vanished. Her eyes suddenly opened up, and she instantly understood all the profound meanings. She looked firmly at Li Taibai and asked softly for confirmation.

"I fully understand your meaning. This fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation is my own exclusive treasure for achieving enlightenment, and it should stay with me so that I can comprehend and refine it myself, right?"

Li Bai nodded emphatically.

"What Your Majesty says is indeed true. Only by personally refining the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation, completely mastering the myriad Great Daos contained within, and integrating all the fundamental rules within the fragments into one's own Dao foundation, can one maximize the power of this supreme treasure for proving the Dao. In the future, in the primordial world, without the assistance of the Jade Disc of Creation, even ordinary cultivators with unparalleled talent and endless opportunities will find it as difficult as ascending to the highest Dao realm."

"As for the future unification of the complete Jade Disc of Creation, there is no need to rush. The time is not yet ripe, so we need not consider it for now. When the great changes in the prehistoric world, the rise and fall of calamities, and the Empress's attainment of the Dao, when the time is completely ripe, we can go to Zixiao Palace to discuss the unification of the fragments with the Dao Ancestor. The most important thing now is to focus on refining and mastering this treasure, and firmly grasp this supreme opportunity of the Great Dao."

Yaochi nodded in agreement: "Taibai, I have now fully realized that this opportunity in the secret realm is a great blessing bestowed upon us, ruler and subject, by Heaven. I will never reveal this secret, this treasure, to anyone in the world."

"From this day forward, the two supreme treasures within this Pangu Secret Realm will be shared by you and me."

Li Bai was deeply moved and immediately bowed slightly, saying, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your trust and kindness."

In fact, Li Bai hadn't expected to find such a treasure. He had simply told Yaochi where the ancient Heavenly Court's treasure was hidden in order to avoid being hunted down by the demon race.

Even if I were to take it, it wouldn't be done openly, and I have no powerful backing. I chose Yaochi because there are no powerful figures there, which is better than following other saints.

Because without a powerful backer, the fortune and merit of the entire prehistoric world would not fall to a rogue cultivator like Li Taibai.

Anyone who gains even a little prestige will immediately face a deadly attack; they must start from the bottom, not from the top.

Upon seeing this, Yaochi quickly raised her hand to support Li Taibai, who was bowing deeply. There was no trace of the majesty of a celestial being between her brows, only genuine closeness and trust.

"We, ruler and subject, have walked together from nothing to where we are today, weathering countless storms and setbacks. Together we have planned for the future and faced the sage's authority. There is no need for such empty and cumbersome formalities. From now on, we will be one as ruler and subject, of one mind and one heart, inseparable, and walk hand in hand on all the great paths ahead."

As soon as she finished speaking, all the feelings of closeness and gratitude that had been building up in Yaochi's heart surged up. There was no longer any sense of separation due to their different statuses. She subconsciously took a step forward, stretched out her arms, and tightly hugged Li Taibai's neck, gently pressing her body close to his.

At this moment, above Zhuolu, the winds and clouds swirled, and a chilling aura swept across the vast sky.

After a long standoff, the Xuanyuan tribe and the Jiuli witch tribe finally faced off in a decisive battle that would determine the fate of the human race.

The Pangu Banner is in place. This battle will determine whether the two races will divide the world or decide the fate of the world in one fell swoop. It all depends on this moment!

Two mighty armies arrayed themselves in the sky, with billions of soldiers and armor spread across the land. Endless battle aura soared into the heavens, and cultivators from all races and elites of the human race displayed their supreme divine might, with a fierce battle about to erupt.

Within the Jiuli camp, a supreme shaman stepped out of the formation first, his murderous aura shaking the entire wilderness.

Xing Tian stood tall, his body suddenly growing to tens of thousands of feet in size. His entire body was bronze-colored with bulging muscles and bones. His naked body was covered with scars from countless battles. He held a giant axe in one hand, and his eyes burned with fierce and overwhelming light.

Before the enemy could make a move, Xing Tian charged forward fiercely. The earth trembled and the ground split for miles around where his footsteps landed. His unstoppable killing momentum caused the air currents of heaven and earth to stagnate. He appeared to be an invincible figure who would fight to the death and was not afraid of any powerful enemy.

The two witches, Wind and Rain, appeared side by side, each wielding the fundamental laws of wind and rain, and with a wave of their hands, they stirred up the primordial energy of the heavens to surge wildly.

In an instant, a fierce wind howled and raged across the sky, layers of dark clouds pressed down, and torrential rain poured down from the heavens. Thunder rumbled and exploded incessantly, and purple lightning and silver snakes crisscrossed and tore through the sky. The wind, rain and thunder intertwined to form a deadly force that enveloped the entire battlefield, suppressed the enemy's figures, and disrupted the circulation of their internal energy. The world was filled with the violent and rampant power of nature.

Xiang Liu stretched out his body and instantly transformed into a nine-headed giant serpent tens of thousands of feet long. The nine ferocious serpent heads roared menacingly, and the serpent mouths were wide open, continuously spewing out thick, black miasma containing extremely corrosive poison.

The poisonous fog spread across the land, instantly withering the vegetation and melting the rocks. All the immortal energy was eroded and disintegrated by the poisonous fog, which swept over and crushed the Xuanyuan army, its ferocity terrifying beyond compare.

Commander Chi You's fighting spirit soared to its peak, and he no longer suppressed his bloodline divine power, revealing his true form completely.

Its eight legs firmly planted on the ground, supporting its massive, mountain-like body. Each of its eight giant arms held a deadly weapon, and its blood energy surged into the sky, converging into a boundless sea of ​​crimson clouds. It carried the unparalleled ferocity of an ancient demon god and charged fiercely towards the human army formation, closely following the group of great shamans. Every movement of its body caused the surrounding void to tremble violently.

Within the human alliance's formation opposite, Xuanyuan gazed at the unparalleled power displayed by the many great shamans of the Jiuli side, his mind reeling, his face filled with undisguised shock.

This overwhelming and terrifying ancient power far surpassed any previous encounter, causing him to tense up and instantly diminishing his confidence by more than half.
