The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 139 The Jie and Chan sects mobilized in full force to jointly embark on the Investiture of the Gods.

"Hmph!" Nuwa looked displeased, snorted coldly, and directly occupied Di Xin's throne, looking at Di Xin with unfriendly eyes.

"This matter has nothing to do with me, does it?" Di Xin smiled helplessly and shrugged.

"You're no better than me!" Nuwa retorted angrily.

Di Xin pursed his lips. This must be because he was unhappy about not getting the Mirror of Heaven, and he was taking his anger out on Fengdu and himself.

Women, no matter how strong they are, are prone to losing their temper.

Could it be...?

"Damn it, Di Xin!!!"

Just as she thought of this, Nuwa's furious roar echoed throughout the hall.

"Your Majesty, it is very impolite to pry into other people's thoughts," Di Xin retorted, acting as if nothing had happened.

Forget that you are a mortal. Nuwa, the goddess, possesses the origin of creation and controls all creation in the primordial world. Without a divine position, it is basically impossible to prevent her from visiting.

Of course, when he grows up, he will be able to block Nuwa's visits, but right now he is just a mortal.

After saying that, he ran away with Empress Jiang and Consort Huang, who had just woken up.

He has no masochistic tendencies. At this time, Nuwa is a ticking time bomb; whoever sets her off will be blown up!

When Nuwa saw Di Xin flee, she snorted coldly, then turned to Zhao Ling'er and her two grandchildren and said, "Now that you have entered the prehistoric world, you can focus on your cultivation!"
Only after the Heavenly Emperor finishes forging the Southern Heavenly Gate will you have the strength to travel to other worlds to explore and play.

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and three streams of light entered the bodies of the three women. These were the cultivation techniques that Nuwa had practiced before.

Zhao Ling'er and the other two quickly bowed in greeting.

"Thank you, empress!"

"Yes, get up. This is the Chaoge Palace in the mortal realm of the Primordial World. I'll have Daji arrange accommodations for you in a bit. You can cultivate here for a while. Once you've achieved some success in your cultivation, I'll take you back to Nuwa Palace," Nuwa added.

"Yes, madam!"

After the three men thanked her, the sycophantic Su Daji cleverly led them to choose rooms.

As for the Sword Immortal family, Emperor Xin bestowed upon them a residence in Chaoge, along with a cultivation technique, allowing them to reside in Chaoge City temporarily.

Tang Yu and the leader of the Moon Worship Cult were sent by Emperor Xin to the location of Wen Zhong. Tang Yu was no problem becoming a general, while the leader of the Moon Worship Cult was quick-witted and went to advise Wen Zhong.

At this time, in the battle of the gods, the mortals suffered losses on both sides. The only fortunate thing was that very few ordinary soldiers died; most of those who died in battle were those who fought against generals.

In the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods, after so many days of fighting, it is now in a state of chaos. Looking up at the sky, the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods is a chaotic mess, with flashes of supernatural powers or spiritual treasures from time to time, revealing the dangers within.

This is the Great Thousand World that Zhou Chen crafted during the Battle of the Gods. It is an extraordinary world that cannot be destroyed unless one's cultivation level is higher than Zhou Chen's.

If this were an ordinary world, with so many Great Luo Golden Immortals fighting and battling, it would have been destroyed long ago.

Although it would be difficult for a Great Luo Golden Immortal to destroy a Great Thousand World, given their destructive power, there were simply too many Great Luo Golden Immortals in the Primordial World—numbers in the hundreds of millions.

With such a large number of them, coupled with the fact that the vast world of the Investiture of the Gods battlefield offered no resistance, they were able to destroy it with impunity, thus decimating the entire world.

On this day, many disciples of the Chan Sect from the Xiqi camp, including the current King Wu Ji Fa, Jiang Ziya, and others, appeared in front of the city gate and waited.

Before long, streaks of light flashed across the sky and landed in front of the strange city gate.

The newcomer was none other than the senior disciple of the Chan Sect, the Antarctic Immortal, followed by several Chan Sect disciples. Alongside the Antarctic Immortal were several others, including the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Zhen Yuanzi, two saints of the Western Sect, Zhunti and Jieyin Daoist, and the Xuandu Grand Master of the Human Sect.

"Welcome, Senior Brother!" The disciples of the Cicada Sect bowed in greeting.

The Antarctic Immortal smiled slightly and raised his hand to help up his many fellow disciples.

"Greetings to the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, the Ancestor of Earthly Immortals, and the Leader of the Human Sect, two sages!" Many rogue cultivators also stepped forward to pay their respects.

After the many cultivators finished their greetings, the Antarctic Immortal and his group did not enter the city, but instead stood in front of the city and observed the Shang army's camp.

It turned out that in the Shang army's camp, Wen Zhong and Jing Wei stood at the front, with many generals standing behind them, also waiting quietly.

Before long, countless streaks of light flew down from the sky and landed in front of the Shang army's camp.

When the light faded, what came into view was a large group of cultivators, led by a man and a woman.

The male cultivator present was also familiar to everyone; he was none other than Duobao Daoren, the senior disciple of the Jie Sect. Behind him were many disciples of the Jie Sect, the Seven Immortals, the Ten Heavenly Lords of Jin'ao Island, Lü Yue, Luo Xuan, and others.

The female cultivator was Jinling Shengmu, the senior disciple of the Jie Sect, and she also had many female disciples of the Jie Sect behind her.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle, Master, and all Senior Uncles!" This was the straightforward Wen Zhong.

"Jingwei greets Master, Uncle-Master Duobao, and all the other Uncle-Masters!" No need for further explanation, right?

Duobao didn't seem to care, but the Golden Spirit Mother looked at Jingwei with satisfaction, praising his form of address.

Who is the most respected member of the Jie Sect? Jin Ling dares to claim the title of number one!
This is the name that Xiao Jingwei gave to his master, and of course, he had to ignore the many uncles in the heavenly realm and the underworld who held divine positions.

The Jie Sect can now be called the largest sect in the prehistoric world, because the current Supreme Heavenly Emperor of the prehistoric world comes from the Jie Sect.

The entire prehistoric world was under the control of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor. The Jie Sect was known as the number one sect in the prehistoric world, and no one dared to oppose it or refute it.

In the modern primordial world, the Taoist sect is the most powerful. Just look at the highest-ranking deities in the celestial realm. Putting aside Pangu, the Heavenly King, he was the one who ruled over the primordial world in the past.

Leaving aside the Heavenly Emperor of the Great Luo Heaven, the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial Era, the Goddess Nuwa, and the Three Pure Ones are all from the Daoist sect. Therefore, the Daoist sect is currently at its zenith. Although it has not deliberately suppressed other forces, other forces still have a significant influence on it.

After Duobao and Jinling arrived, they turned around and bowed to Xuandu Antarctic Immortal, Zhen Yuanzi, and the two former saints of the Western Sect.

"My two senior brothers, how have you been?" Daoist Duobao spoke first.

“Junior brother, you’re too kind. This Investiture of the Gods is the perfect opportunity for us to discuss the Dao. After the Investiture of the Gods is over, how about we have a good drink together in the Heavenly Realm?” the Antarctic Immortal said with a smile.

“That’s exactly right!” Grand Master Xuandu nodded in agreement.

Golden Spirit Mother nodded in acknowledgment, then turned and returned to her tent.

"As you say, senior brother."

Daoist Duobao led a large group of disciples of the Jie Sect, cupped their hands in greeting to the other party, and then followed them into the tent.

The Antarctic Immortal and his companions returned the greeting and entered Xiqi City.

In the council hall of Xiqi City, everyone sat down in order. "Esteemed senior uncles and immortal masters, how shall the competition begin tomorrow?" Jiang Ziya rose and asked the crowd.

With so many cultivators arriving, it was beyond the control of a mere prime minister like Jiang Ziya. However, he did not forget his mission: to help Xiqi defeat the Shang Dynasty.

The Grand Master Xuandu closed his eyes in meditation and said little.

The two Western saints' eyes gleamed with golden light, but they didn't say anything more.

Zhen Yuanzi smiled at everyone, as if he hadn't heard Jiang Ziya's question.

The Old Man of the South Pole sighed softly. After all, Jiang Ziya was a disciple of the Chan Sect. Others could ignore him, but as the senior disciple of the Chan Sect, he could not turn a blind eye.

“Nephew Ziya, in this battle of the gods, we cultivators will take turns to fight. However, in the war among mortals, only the chosen ones can participate, so we are not of much help to the war among mortals.”

Moreover, according to Master's instructions, Goddess Nuwa has descended upon Chaoge. The identity of the Human Emperor is unknown, but he is suspected to be an incarnation of that person. Although the deeper meaning is unknown, we must not be careless in his words! The Antarctic Immortal explained, and then warned Jiang Ziya and the others. Who is that person? The Antarctic Immortal did not say it explicitly, but simply pointed to the sky, and the meaning was very clear.

The identities of Goddess Nuwa and the Human Emperor are not to be insulted at will by those present; it is best to be careful with one's words and actions.

Otherwise, if any unexpected changes occur, it will be troublesome.

Everyone present gasped in shock. It was somewhat better to say that Nuwa was an exception, since cultivators were not allowed to participate in the mortal battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods.

However, if Emperor Xin is the incarnation of that being, then Xiqi will have no chance of winning. Even if Emperor Xin has lost his cultivation, they simply cannot defeat him because of his identity as the incarnation of that being.

The position of World Lord is not just for show; the entire world belongs to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, and his incarnations will also possess some of the characteristics of World Lord.

The sheer magnitude of their fortune was enough to give Emperor Xin a chance to turn the tide; for them to want to defeat them was nothing short of a pipe dream.

King Wu Ji Fa did not understand, nor did many of the generals of Xiqi City, but judging from the expressions of Jiang Ziya and the others, they knew that their situation was not good.

"Prime Minister, I wonder who Emperor Xin is? He has troubled so many powerful immortals!" King Wu, Ji Fa, asked.

Jiang Ziya pondered for a moment, then told the truth.

"Your Highness King Wu, the person my uncle mentioned is none other than His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, the ruler of the Primordial World," Jiang Ziya replied.

"How...how is this possible? Why would His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor transform into Di Xin?"

"The mandate of Heaven is for the Zhou Dynasty to prosper, so why would His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor join the camp that defies Heaven?" Ji Fa was somewhat incoherent.

His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is the Lord of the Primordial World, and the Mandate of Heaven is something that His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor acknowledges. So why would His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor transform into Emperor Xin? This simply doesn't make sense!

"Your Highness King Wu, please refrain from making rash statements. The Heavenly Emperor's decision is beyond our comprehension," said the Antarctic Immortal in a deep voice.

"Please forgive me, Immortal Master; it was Ji Fa who was rude," Ji Fa quickly said.

The Old Man of the South Pole didn't speak, but simply nodded, thus putting the matter aside.

"Tomorrow, we will discuss the Dao with the Shang army cultivators in order of our cultivation level."

"After all, at our level, the number of people doesn't matter. Let's have a discussion based on equal cultivation levels. That way, we can gain more points and compete for stronger divine positions," the Antarctic Immortal explained.

"What fellow Taoist said is true."

"As you say, fellow Daoist."

……

……

Everyone agreed with what the Old Man of the South Pole had said and concurred with the conclusion.

The Old Man of the South Pole nodded, and then said nothing more.

Many cultivators closed their eyes to rest, quietly awaiting the arrival of tomorrow.

……

The same was true inside the Shang army's camp, where they were discussing the next day's campaign.

Finally, it was decided by Daoist Duobao that cultivators of the same realm would compete the next day.

The victor lives and the loser dies; to stand out even more, one must defeat cultivators of the same realm.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Spirit Mother closed her eyes to rest, no longer paying attention to the people present. She prepared to wait for tomorrow to establish her reputation as the senior sister of the Jie Sect by relying on the scattered cultivators of the prehistoric world and the disciples of the Chan Sect.

In the future, I will obtain an even more powerful divine position and then go to the Great Luo Heaven to cultivate the Dao.

As a fellow disciple of the Jie Sect at the Yingzhou Dojo, she was the only one who did not yet hold a divine position, which made her somewhat resentful.

Her original cultivation level was much stronger than that of Wudang, Guiling, and others, but now it has become the weakest. How could the proud Golden Spirit Mother be willing to accept this?
"Senior Brother Duobao, Senior Sister Jinling, let us brothers be the ones to lead the way tomorrow!" Qin Wan, the leader of the Ten Heavenly Monarchs, stood up and said.

When Duobao Daoist and Jinling Shengmu saw Qin Wan, they both nodded subconsciously.

The modern Ten Heavenly Kings have reached the Quasi-Saint realm in cultivation, but what makes them famous is not their cultivation, but their array formations.

The Heavenly Annihilation Formation embodies the innate numbers and obtains the pure innate energy. It contains the mechanism of chaos and contains three banners. According to the three elements of heaven, earth, and man, they are combined into one energy. If a person enters this formation, he will turn into dust wherever there is thunder. If an immortal encounters this place, his limbs will be shattered.

The Earthly Fiery Formation also follows the principles of the earth, containing a solid and dense structure within, and displaying a lively and dynamic appearance on the outside. It is ever-changing, with a red banner hidden inside. When it is activated, thunder roars above and fire ignites below.

The Wind Howling Formation is based on the numbers of earth, water, fire, and wind, with wind and fire within it. This wind and fire are primordial energies, the Samadhi True Fire, from which a million weapons emerge.

The Frost Array holds profound mysteries, with wind and thunder within, icebergs above resembling wolf fangs, and ice blocks below like swords.

The Golden Light Array draws upon the essence of the sun and moon, and conceals the energy of heaven and earth. Within it are twenty-one precious mirrors, each suspended atop a tall pole by twenty-one tall poles, with a set on each mirror. If one enters the array, pulling up this set will cause thunder to shake the mirror. After only one or two rotations, golden light will shoot out, illuminating the body and instantly turning it into pus and blood.

The Blood Transformation Array uses innate spiritual energy and contains wind and thunder, as well as several pieces of black sand. However, once inside the array, where thunder roars, the wind whips up the black sand, and wherever it touches, it instantly transforms into blood.

The Blazing Flame Array, where Suiren possesses aerial fire, hidden within a furnace for refining cinnabar. The leader, seated in the detached palace, unfurls a red banner that vanishes into nothingness. This array contains three fires: Samadhi Fire, aerial fire, and stone fire, all merging into one, with three red banners at its center. If one enters this array, the three banners unfurl, the three fires fly together, and in an instant, one is reduced to ashes.

The Fallen Formation is no ordinary formation. It closes the gate of life and opens the gate of death, containing the fierce energy of heaven and earth, all gathered together. Inside is a piece of white paper with talismans drawn on it. If one enters the formation, the white banners flutter, and the soul dissipates, vanishing in an instant. No matter if one is a god or immortal, one perishes the moment one enters.

The Crimson Water Formation is unpredictable and offers no return. It harnesses the essence of Ren and Gui, concealing the wonders of Tianyi, making it ever-changing. Within it lies an Eight Trigrams Platform with three gourds. Anyone, human or immortal, can enter the formation and throw down a gourd, unleashing a vast expanse of crimson water. If even a drop of this water touches one's body, it instantly turns to blood.

The Red Sand Formation is structured according to the three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man, with three energies within. It contains three bushels of red sand—which, though seemingly red sand, is actually sharp blades. One cannot discern the heavens above, the earth below, or the people in between. If one rushes into this formation, the wind and thunder will unleash flying sand that will instantly reduce one's bones to dust.

The ten formations were merged into one, enhanced by the divine power of the Great Dao of Formations learned in the Ziwei Palace. The power of the formation was increased several times over, enough to withstand a great divine power master. Therefore, Duobao and Jinling both agreed.
