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

Chapter 83 The Ziwei Incident, Zhunti Enters the Formation

Meanwhile, a tremendous change was taking place on Ziwei Star in the ancient starry sky.

Originally, when the Ziwei Star was shining brightly, Taizhen used magic to cover its light; otherwise, the scene of two suns in the sky would have appeared again in the prehistoric world.

But today, as she comprehends the three thousand great Dao divine powers on Ziwei Star, she feels a pressure that is different from the one she has felt before.

The oppressive aura, akin to that of a higher-level life form, caused her primordial spirit and the Great Dao to become somewhat disordered, making it difficult for her to even unleash her magic power and draw upon the power of the Great Dao.

Looking in the direction from which the oppressive aura emanated, it was Zhou Chen's secluded cultivation spot in the Ziwei Palace.

Tai Zhen was curious about what Zhou Chen was cultivating to be able to emit such a powerful aura.

Before she could figure it out, the pressure kept increasing, wave after wave of pressure that was almost tangible, almost shattering her primordial spirit. She dared not stay in the Ziwei Palace any longer, and hurriedly used the Kunpeng Treasure Technique to escape from Ziwei Star. When she left, she also took with her the spiritual treasures that Zhou Chen had refined.

Once outside, Tai Zhen immediately activated these spiritual treasures: the Kunpeng, embodying extreme yin and yang; the majestic and domineering True Dragon; the Phoenix, reborn from the ashes; the Qilin, symbolizing auspiciousness; the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, capable of slaying everything in the world; and the extremely ferocious Nine Nether Hound, among other ferocious beasts transformed from the ten evil spiritual treasures, which roamed around Ziwei Star.

Immediately afterwards, a halo formed by the convergence of three thousand Great Dao Principles suddenly appeared, coalescing into a mysterious formation that completely surrounded the Ziwei Star.

Taizhen finally breathed a sigh of relief after doing all this.

She did this for two reasons: first, to protect Zhou Chen; and second, and most importantly, to prevent that aura from spreading.

After the second wave of power subsided, she realized that it wasn't at the level of life itself, but rather a mysterious and profound feeling, like a real wind blowing a reflection in water, and she being the illusory reflection in that water.

Such a grand spectacle also alarmed the great supernatural beings and sages of the Heavenly Dao in the primordial world.

The first to appear were the Six Sages of Heaven, Haotian, and Yaochi.

The Six Sages of Heaven are saints who have insight into the primordial world, while Haotian and Yaochi are the closest. Over this period of time, Haotian and Yaochi have also advanced to the level of great supernatural beings who have severed their two corpses, thanks to the immense fortune brought by their deepened karmic positions. That is why they came together with the Six Sages of Heaven.

"Lord Taiyin, what kind of change has occurred on Ziwei Star that requires such a grand display?" Haotian asked first. As the Great Celestial Venerable of the Primordial World, it was only natural for him to ask.

"The Emperor was cultivating when he unleashed a strange pressure that nearly shattered my primordial spirit and the power of the Great Dao. That's why I used the spiritual treasure he crafted to seal the Purple Star, to prevent the pressure from spreading and causing casualties," Tai Zhen explained solemnly.

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa knew Zhou Chen's special abilities, but they were somewhat skeptical of Tai Zhen Xi Wang Mu's words. They knew that even the pressure of a sage could not disperse the primordial spirit of a top-level supernatural being like Tai Zhen Xi Wang Mu!
Even a teacher shouldn't do that!
"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you jest. Even our pressure cannot disperse the primordial spirit of a great supernatural being, let alone the Great Dao."

"Is Fellow Daoist hiding something? Or is the Great Emperor Ziwei doing something important that requires sealing off Ziwei Star?" Zhunti looked at the top-grade innate spiritual treasures that were comparable to those of top-level great supernatural beings, and a flash of greed appeared in his eyes. He did not believe Taizhen Xiwangmu's words at all.

What a joke, how could there possibly be that kind of oppressive aura?

Even a sage needs to mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao to suppress or kill a great supernatural being, but it is impossible to do so with mere pressure. Even if Zhou Chen is known as the number one person below the sage, no matter how strong he is, he has not yet become a sage. How could he possibly do something that even a sage cannot do? There must be something Zhou Chen is doing, or refining some extraordinary spiritual treasure, that made the Queen Mother of the West seal the Ziwei Star to prevent others from noticing.

That must be it!

As Zhunti thought this, especially when he thought of the spiritual treasures, the greed in his eyes was almost impossible to hide. There were more than three thousand top-grade innate spiritual treasures in front of him, as well as the extraordinary spiritual treasures that Zhou Chen had refined. He had to find a way to get some of them and take them to the West.

Taizhen looked at the Sage Zhunti, whom Zhou Chen called a disgrace to sages, and was utterly speechless.

She was, after all, a top-tier supernatural being. In such a formal setting, especially in front of the Six Sages of Heaven and a host of other supernatural beings, was it really necessary for her to lie? Did she not care about the dignity of a supernatural being?

"If the Sage doesn't believe it, he can enter the formation and see for himself, as long as he doesn't disturb the Emperor's seclusion." Tai Zhen was too lazy to waste words. You don't believe it? If you're so capable, go in and see if you can withstand it.

Zhou Chen once said that a sage can only integrate his true spirit into the Heavenly Dao through the Primordial Purple Qi, and thus mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao. However, without the support of the Heavenly Dao's power, his own strength is only slightly stronger than that of a top-tier great supernatural being. After all, when the true spirit is within the Heavenly Dao, it constantly comprehends the operation of the Heavenly Dao's laws, and its own cultivation of the Great Dao will definitely progress rapidly.

Despite their rapid progress, none of them reached the Hunyuan realm.

Therefore, without the power of the Heavenly Dao, they are only slightly stronger than top-tier supernatural beings.

When Zhou Chen was refining these more than three thousand spiritual treasures, he had considered that the sages would fight in the ancient starry sky. Therefore, he inscribed runes that sealed the heaven and earth into the spiritual treasures and even formed an array.

The Great World Technique was used to create a completely new world within the array, and the Great Sealing Technique was used to seal everything within the array. Numerous great spiritual treasures, led by the Great Destiny Technique, formed an array that was connected as one, combining offense and defense. Even if a saint entered it and wanted to come out, he could only wait for the Heavenly Dao to revive, because this was specially prepared by Zhou Chen for saints.

Although Taizhen didn't want to kill Zhunti, she was displeased by Zhunti's question. Go in and experience that feeling; there's no way you can get out!
Whether he survives or not depends on Zhunti's own abilities!
That's right, no matter what world you're in, it's best not to offend women! Sometimes, a single word can offend them, and you might unknowingly find yourself in their trap!
"In that case, I will go in and see if it is as Fellow Daoist Xi Wangmu said." This was exactly what Zhunti wanted. He was just worried about not having a reason to enter Ziwei Star, and now Xi Wangmu had provided one. He quickly said with a smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sage! Please!" Taizhen said, activating his spiritual treasure to create a gap for Zhunti, and gestured for him to enter.

Zhunti smiled slightly and prepared to enter.

"Junior brother, be careful!" Jieyin suddenly said, handing the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit to Zhunti. He had just seen that the Queen Mother of the West's expression did not seem to be lying. Although his junior brother was a saint, immortal and indestructible, he should still be careful. The West only had two saints, and if they were injured, it would be a loss for the West, which they could not afford.

"Don't worry, senior brother," Zhunti said, accepting the Golden Lotus of Merit before entering the formation.

The Three Pure Ones were about to stop them, but Taizhen signaled to them with her eyes to stop them.

After the Sage Zhunti entered the formation, the gaps in the formation closed.
