Primordial Chaos: I, the Four Pure Ones of the Primordial Beginning, beg the Heavenly Dao to step do

Chapter 23 The Struggle Between the Dao and the Demon! Begin!

Time changes everything, and the sun and moon revolve.

A thousand years can pass in the blink of an eye.

The battle between the Dao and the Demonic is about to begin.

Since the great war between the three races, the world has fallen into a long-awaited peace.

All living beings rested and recuperated, and all creatures cultivated themselves in peace. As time passed, the mountains and rivers gradually returned to their former beauty.

Immortal herbs and divine medicines, wondrous trees and spiritual roots, also emerged from the earth once more in an environment rich in spiritual energy, not long after the evil energy of the great calamity dissipated and the resentment of all living beings disappeared.

The devastation that once littered the area around Dongkunlun has, over time, given rise to a miracle of life.

Not only has it been restored to its former appearance, but the various spiritual plants, rare and exotic animals are also more abundant and vibrant than before.

"Time seems to fly by the busier you are."

"I just wanted to grasp the full power of the Mirror of Cause and Effect as much as possible in order to prevent any mistakes in the struggle between the Dao and the Demon, but in the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed."

Within the blessed land, Tai Chu slowly opened his slightly closed eyes. The Great Dao Divine Pattern - Cause and Effect and the Great Dao Divine Pattern - Fire flashed and disappeared in his pupils.

His aura gradually returned from a state of harmony with nature to reality.

"There are only eight hundred years left until the battle between the Dao and the Demonic Path. Why hasn't my elder brother returned yet?"

His divine sense covered the entire cave, and he saw that Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Xiwangmu were still there, but he did not see any trace of Taishang.

A few doubts suddenly arose in his mind.

"Second brother, third brother, do you know where eldest brother has gone to cultivate?"

As soon as Tai Chu finished speaking, Tong Tian tore through space and arrived.

His sword intent was as deep and impenetrable as a prison, and his aura of destruction was so powerful that even heaven and earth could not suppress it.

Clearly, over these thousand years, his understanding of swordsmanship and destruction has not improved by even a little bit.

"When my elder brother left, he only said that he would return when the time was right, and he didn't say anything else."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yuanshi arrived.

Within his slightly raised left palm, five furnaces blazed fiercely, their inner radiance impossible to conceal.

All around, various magical treasures and divine weapons were scattered, and tens of thousands of array flags crisscrossed the sky.

It was the result of a thousand years of frantic weapon forging.

"Fourth brother, now that you have mastered the Dao of Cause and Effect, why not directly calculate where your elder brother went to cultivate?"

Yuan Shi's words directly awakened Tai Chu.

Immediately, he used the Great Dao Divine Rune - Cause and Effect to deduce the location of the Supreme Being.

But just as they found the causal link and before they could even begin to deduce its meaning, a soft, gentle shout reached their ears.

"No need for that."

Following the sound, Taishang slowly walked out of the void, his aura becoming increasingly ethereal, and the Yin-Yang Tai Chi symbol landed beneath his feet.

Thoughts touch upon things as if they were nothing; only sight can reveal their true nature.

"Brother, your understanding of heaven and earth is becoming more and more profound. You have even made the phenomenon of harmony between heaven and man a normal occurrence."

Tai Shang remained unmoved by Tong Tian's astonishment, calmly shaking his head in response.

"When the mind is calm, one is at peace with the world. Your mind is too restless, which is why you cannot maintain a state of harmony with nature."

"If you can cultivate peacefully and calmly, achieving harmony between heaven and man will be a simple matter for you."

"Forget it."

Upon hearing this, Tongtian's eyes flashed with a sharp glint.

"I specialize in swordsmanship and destruction. I am naturally straightforward. If I were to diminish my sharpness in order to get closer to the world, I would do so."

"I'm afraid my cultivation is ruined."

The Supreme Lord did not say anything more about this.

Everyone has their own path.

As the eldest brother, he only needs to offer some guidance.

As for how to proceed and what to do, that's entirely up to them.

"Fourth brother, I'm not late, am I?"

"You've come back just in time."

Tai Chu chuckled and rose from the ground. After scanning Tai Shang up and down, he guessed the purpose of Tai Shang's trip to cultivate.

"Brother, you must have perfected your Wood Qi during your recent cultivation journey, right?"

"good."

Taishang nodded slightly, a hint of helplessness rising in his eyes.

"I was originally planning to bring some back for you."

"But now, the evil energy of the great calamity and the resentment of all living beings have only recently subsided, and places with abundant Yi wood Qi are truly hard to find."

"It took me traveling to several places to finally elevate the woodworking skills to perfection."

"It's good that my brother is back safe and sound; nothing else matters."

Tai Chu chuckled and shook his head, telling him not to take it to heart.

"Now that everyone is here, let's set off."

Yuanshi made extensive preparations for this operation, nearly emptying his reserves of spiritual minerals and rare stones.

If anyone dares to obstruct him, he will make them taste the power of the Myriad Treasures Returning to One!

The four exchanged smiles, then transformed into rainbows and soared straight up to the ninth heaven, heading towards the western land with all their might.

At their current speed, it only took them a little over seven hundred years to sneak into Mount Sumeru under the cover of the Mirror of Cause and Effect.

Taking advantage of the demons' external tensions and internal laxity, they entered the core treasure vault and looted all the rare and precious materials that Rahu had accumulated over the years.

They found a secluded spot where they could see the whole situation from the shadows and hide away, preparing for the upcoming battle between the Dao and the Demon!

Just as Tai Chu and the others were hiding in the void, sorting through their spoils.

The demon guards also discovered the anomaly in the core treasure vault during their shift change.

The moment the treasure vault was opened, staring at the empty space, devoid of even a blade of grass, he instantly felt a chill run down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat.

He hurriedly roared for someone to go and inform Rahu.

"Quickly report to the Demon Ancestor! Our core treasure vault has been robbed!"

Upon learning the news, Rahu rushed to the treasure vault.

After several attempts to reconstruct the events failed to uncover any clues, he instantly lost his composure.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

He instantly appeared atop Mount Sumeru, shouting angrily at the surrounding void.

"Damn Hongjun, could you be any more shameless?!"

"If you're so capable, then let's have a real fight!"

"What kind of skill is it to plunder my treasure trove while I'm off guard!"

"..."

Tai Chu listened to Luo Hou's constant angry rebukes, but his heart remained completely unmoved.

As long as Rahu is saved and allowed to complete the establishment of the demonic path and open up the demonic realm, all karma will vanish.

Furthermore, once the opponent detonates the western ley lines, the contents of the treasure vault will also turn to ashes.

Even if something remains, it will only benefit the two bald monks who were born later.

Rather than that, it's better to let him take it all.

In any case, he is the only one involved in the cause and effect.

Now even the three Supreme Beings have entered the game.

How could it be justified if I didn't get some benefits in return?

Moreover, the treasure vault is just a bonus; the Qiankun Cauldron, the Taiji Diagram, and other supreme treasures are their real targets!

"Stop spouting nonsense!"

Just as Rahu was cursing, Hongjun, along with Shichen, Yin Yang, Wuxing, Qiankun, and others, crossed the void and arrived in front of him.

"Heh, you're just a shameless scoundrel who dares to do something but not admit it, a hypocrite!"

Luo Hou glanced at Hongjun and the others, his eyes showing no fear, and continued to berate them with a cold smile.

"Who else in the world, besides you and Yang Mei, could have so silently looted my treasure trove without leaving a trace?"

"Yang Mei had already gone beyond the Chaos Heaven and no longer interfered in the affairs of the primordial world."

"As the last one remaining, and coincidentally appearing here, who else could it be but you!"

Hongjun was also a bit confused at this moment.

Looking across the entire primordial world, it seems that only he could do this.

He had indeed considered taking over the Demon Clan's treasure trove after killing Rahu.

But these are all just plans that haven't been put into action yet.

How come someone beat me to it?

As his thoughts raced, Hongjun subconsciously glanced at the void beside him.

What Rahu didn't know was...

He has already persuaded Yang Mei, who is currently hiding in the void and observing.

However, they will absolutely not lend a hand unless it is a critical moment.

This was one of the agreements that enabled him to persuade the other party to participate in this battle between the Dao and the Demon.

Upon seeing Yang Mei, who was hiding among them, he subtly shook his head, indicating that he had not made a move.

Hongjun then turned his gaze to Luo Hou once again.

Don't make false accusations.

"I have always acted uprightly and honestly. I dare to take responsibility for my actions. I did not steal, and that is that."

Rahu was so angry he laughed.

The sixth brother, who is the most shameless and cunning, claims to be upright and honorable. It's truly the funniest joke in the world!

"So, according to you, the things in my treasure vault just grew wings and flew away?"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun pointed directly at the four people behind Luo Hou: Wufa, Wuxiang, Wutian, and Wujie.

"Couldn't it be that a few of them embezzled the funds themselves?"

"As beings born from the desires of all living things in heaven and earth, can you truly suppress the greed in their hearts?"

Seeing that Hongjun was still trying to sow discord even at this point, Luo Hou was furious.

We'll unleash the God-Slaying Spear right now and teach this shameless centipede a lesson!

"You shameless vermin, die!"

Hongjun hates nothing more than others exposing his shortcomings, and his true form is even more of a taboo subject!

"Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish."

He then stopped rambling.

He directly led Yin Yang and others to engage Rahu in direct combat!
