Primordial: From a grain of soil to the ancestor of all paths

Unfortunately, Jieyin and Zhunti arrived too late and gave their warnings too late!
As their voices faded, Maitreya and his companions had already surrounded Taichu and launched a fierce attack!

"Ah!"

Upon seeing this, Tai Chu merely chuckled dismissively.

Immediately, strands of the power of the Great Dao Laws intertwined, falling like a giant "Net of the Great Dao," easily ensnaring Maitreya and the others.

No matter how much they struggled, it was all in vain!
At this moment, it was as if all of Maitreya's power had been forcibly sealed, giving them an unprecedented feeling of weakness!

Since the incident of Yuanshi becoming a demon, the top gods in the prehistoric world, such as Styx, Tongtian, Dijun Taiyi, and Hongyuan, have all been worried about the same thing: how to prevent more prehistoric beings from becoming demons.

This is also one of the things that Tai Chu, who did not want to see a large number of primordial beings fall into demonic possession, has been worried about in his seclusion and cultivation over the years!

Unfortunately, even Taichu himself doesn't have a good solution for this at the moment.

Tai Chu had considered capturing some demonic individuals for research.

However, Yuan Shi's strength had already reached the Hunyuan Taiji Jiluo Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) realm, and he was also a Heavenly Dao Saint with the characteristics of immortality and indestructibility.

Secondly, apart from Yuanshi, there were no other demons openly possessing power in the primordial world.

The original idea has been shelved ever since!

Sure enough, when you're feeling sleepy, someone brings you a pillow. Buddhism is now actually offering itself to a bunch of people who have fallen into demonic possession.
It would be a real shame if these "guinea pigs" died before Tai Chu figured out what this demonic path was all about.

This is also the main reason why Tai Chu has not yet killed Maitreya and the others, but has only suppressed them and sealed all their power!

at the same time!

"What is this?"

"He actually summoned such a Great Dao Net in a single thought to suppress us all and seal away all our power?"

"This is definitely not the kind of performance one would expect from a Grand Luo Golden Immortal (Saint)!"

"Even for someone at the peak of the Primordial Chaos (Saint) Realm, it would be impossible to do this so easily, right?"

"After the two Western Saints came out, they didn't attack him. Instead, they stopped us. Could it be that even they are wary of this person?"

"Who, who exactly is he?"

"Tai Chu! Only Tai Chu of Tian Yuan Mountain would have such strength and motive!"

"If it's him, then our defeat is not unjust!"

"It's just a pity that our demonic powers, as well as some of the secrets of Buddhism, will all be exposed!"

"..."

Maitreya and the others were not stupid. After their initial shock, how could he not guess the true identity of Taichu?
As early as hundreds of thousands of years ago, during the final battle of the Investiture of the Gods, Tai Chu temporarily unleashed a battle power comparable to that of a Hunyuan Taiji Grand Luo Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) and killed Hong Yuan at that time!
Now that so many years have passed, it's perfectly normal for him to have such a performance!
Besides Hongjun, Taichu is also the person that Maitreya and his group least want to offend.

Unfortunately, they have already offended them!
Maitreya and the others couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If they had known that Kong Xuan and Dapeng were backed by Taichu, they would not have tried to seize the two brothers' opportunities or convert them, but they probably would have offered some things to these two little ancestors and begged them to leave quickly.

At the same time, Maitreya and the others looked at Kong Xuan and Dapeng with some "resentment", as if to say: Why didn't you say so earlier that you had such a master?

If you had told us earlier, we wouldn't have attacked you.

Seemingly understanding the look in Maitreya's eyes, Kong Xuan Dapeng sneered inwardly, too lazy to respond.

At first, they didn't need to announce their sect. But when they tried to, Maitreya and his group first made a series of shameless remarks that almost made them laugh in anger, and then they were about to attack them. By then, they didn't have time to announce their sect anymore.

Ultimately, it was Maitreya and his group who brought this upon themselves!

"Two Western Saints, it's been a long time!" After suppressing Maitreya and the others, Tai Chu, seeing that his identity had been guessed, revealed his true form and turned his gaze to the two Western Saints, asking meaningfully, "What, are you also here to help Maitreya and the others, adhering to the principle of 'beating the small to bring in the big'?"

"Or is it to silence us, master and disciple, to prevent the fact that Maitreya and the others have become demonic from being exposed?"

"Fellow Daoist Taichu, you really love to joke!" Jieyin shook his head with a bitter expression after hearing Taichu's sarcastic mockery. "Our Buddhist disciples have been influenced by the demonic path, turning black into white and bullying the weak. How could we, fellow disciples, stand up for them?"

"As for the claim of silencing them? That's even more impossible!"

"Our Buddhism belongs to the Xuanmen (mysterious sect), and is irreconcilable with the demonic path."

"Back then, the Demon Ancestor Rahu self-destructed and destroyed the spiritual veins of my West, causing my West to become barren. My fellow disciples and I have long been irreconcilable enemies with the demonic path he represented."

"Besides, Maitreya and his followers possess overwhelming demonic energy that shakes the Three Realms; it's simply impossible to conceal it!"

“However, even Yuanshi Tianzun unknowingly fell into demonic possession. Maitreya and the others are not even saints, so how can they resist the erosion of demonic forces?” Zhunti also spoke up from the side, “I believe that what happened today was definitely not of their own volition!”

"But regardless of the circumstances, their bullying of Kong Xuan Dapeng and their possession of demonic possession are facts!"

"Please hand them over to our Buddhist sect for processing. My fellow disciples and I will certainly give you a satisfactory explanation in the future!"

"If you agree, fellow Daoist, we brothers are all willing to incur a karmic debt with a sage!"

"If you have other conditions, we will try our best to agree!"

Jieyin and Zhunti knew very well that the exposure of Maitreya and the others' possession of demonic possession was inevitable.

How to prevent this matter from implicating the entire Buddhist community, and how to stop Taichu from pursuing the matter further? This is what they need to consider most right now.

This is also why Zhunti directly proposed that as long as Taichu was willing to hand over Maitreya and the others to Buddhism, he would promise the saint karma!
With the cause and effect of these two saints present, Buddhism will inevitably be more passive when facing the beginning of time.

But compared to the current situation, they can still distinguish which is more important!

"Oh?" Seeing this, Tai Chu asked meaningfully, "So this is the method you intend to use to solve this?"

"I thought you would unleash your demonic power like Maitreya and the others, raising your combat strength by a whole level, and then forcibly suppress me?"

"Let alone if two Heavenly Dao Saints, who are comparable to the Hunyuan Taiji Grand Luo Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) level, attacked me together, even now I wouldn't have much confidence in resisting them."

After all, what appeared here in the Primordial Beginning was merely a wisp of his Great Dao, which could neither unleash too much power nor sustain a battle for too long!
"..." Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions both darkened, but they quickly recovered and said with a forced smile, "Fellow Daoist, you really love to joke!" "Maitreya and the others being corrupted by demons is already a great sin, so how could we willingly fall into the demonic path?"

"Even if it really happens, it would be like what happened to Senior Brother Yuanshi, who was tricked by the Heavenly Dao and turned into a demon without even realizing it."

"We ourselves would absolutely never do that!"

Jieyin and Zhunti couldn't tell that Taichu was only appearing as an avatar; they thought it was his true body.

Moreover, no one knows whether Qinglian, Tianyan, Houtu, Yangmei Daoren, and others might suddenly appear.

It would be absolutely impossible for Jieyin and Zhunti to say in public that they wanted demonic power or anything like that!

“Since you two fellow Daoists have said so, I naturally believe you.” Tai Chu nodded first, but before Jieyin and Zhunti could breathe a sigh of relief, he spoke again: “But if you are not willing to exert enough power to stop me, then I will take Maitreya and the others away.”

"After all, in the current primordial world, no one can completely guarantee that they will not completely fall into demonic possession, and they also do not want to see the people they are close to and trust fall into demonic possession without realizing it."

"Besides Yuanshi, Maitreya and the others are the few demonic beings who are currently visible in the prehistoric world."

"Perhaps through them, I can discover a way to prevent other ancient deities from becoming possessed by demons."

"If successful, it will be a blessing to all living beings in the primordial world!"

"I believe that by then, all living beings in the primordial world will be grateful to Maitreya and his followers, as well as to Buddhism for their sacrifices and help!"

"..." Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions turned very gloomy.

They never expected that even though their own brother had promised to give the cause and effect of the sage and had always smiled and humbled himself, Tai Chu still wanted to take Maitreya and the others away.
Doesn't he completely disregard them?
Moreover, regardless of whether Maitreya and the others were possessed by demons, they were first and foremost Buddhist disciples.

If Jieyin and Zhunti allowed their disciples to be easily taken away by Taichu, wouldn't they be ridiculed by all living beings in the prehistoric world?

Most importantly, although Jieyin and Zhunti have been denying that they have come into contact with demonic power, they have actually been secretly acquiring it.

If Taichu takes Maitreya and the others away, their secret as fellow disciples might be exposed!
Jieyin Zhunti, who had been secretly shifting his stance towards the demonic path and the heavenly path, was even more unwilling to let him actually research a method to save all living beings in the prehistoric world from falling into demonic possession!
However, Tai Chu's strength was too great, and his methods were mysterious and unpredictable.

Even if Jieyin and Zhunti Zhen unleashed demonic power, temporarily granting them all the combat strength of the Hunyuan Taiji Dalu Golden Immortal (Hedao) realm, they still wouldn't be confident of defeating Taichu.

If Qinglian, Tianyan, and Houtu get involved, things will only get more complicated!
Moreover, wasn't Tai Chu's long string of words just now a form of "moral blackmail" against Jieyin Zhunti by using the safety of all living beings in the prehistoric world?

If Jieyin and Zhunti refuse, it will inevitably lead to further hostility from all living beings in the prehistoric world!
For a moment, Jieyin and Zhunti found themselves in a dilemma.
"boom!"

Just then, a truly powerful pressure from the Primordial Chaos Grand Supreme Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) realm instantly enveloped the entire prehistoric world!
Even beings as powerful as Jieyin and Zhunti, who were at the limit of the Hunyuan (Saint) realm, felt as insignificant as "ants" under this pressure!
At the same time, auspicious phenomena such as auspicious clouds, golden lotuses, and dragons and phoenixes dancing in the sky and on the ground also spread throughout the Three Realms!

Except for a very few holy beings, all the other primordial creatures were forced to kneel down in a certain direction to the east under the pressure of this Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) realm power!
In the hearts of countless saints, an unprecedented storm was brewing:

"What a terrifying pressure!"

"Even when the Four Sages of Heaven and the Lord of the Styx displayed their ultimate Primordial (Sage) Realm power, they didn't seem this terrifying, did they?"

"A Primordial Taiji Grand Luo Golden Immortal! Someone must have reached the true Primordial Taiji Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

"Who, who has taken this step?"

"That direction is...the Eastern Kunlun Mountains?"

"I understand, it's Yuanshi Tianzun... no, after he fell into demonic possession, he should be called Yuanshi Tianmo!"

"A Heavenly Saint who has fallen into demonic possession has actually reached the true Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal realm?"

"I wonder what this place will become in the future?"

"..."

After guessing whose breakthrough this oppressive force came from, all the beings in the primordial world, whether from the Immortal Path, the Anti-Heavenly Alliance, or other factions, had extremely solemn expressions.

Strictly speaking, the demonic path can be considered their common enemy!

Especially nowadays, no one knows whether they or the people around them might unknowingly become possessed by demons like Yuan Shi!

East Kunlun, Jade Void Palace!
"I did it, I did it!"

"I have finally entered the realm of the Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal!"

"With the added power of demonic forces and my various methods, I would be stronger than Tai Chu and the others, even compared to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, right?"

"You bastards who once brought me shame, just you wait, I will make you pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold price!"

Feeling the unprecedented power within his body, the Primordial Demon was immediately excited and thrilled!
Before this, there were only two deities in the entire prehistoric world who had reached the level of a true Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal!
First, there is Hongjun, who is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao; second, there is Houtu, who is the ruler of the Earthly Dao!

The Primordial Demon is now the third deity in the primordial world to enter the true Hunyuan Taiji realm!
Furthermore, unlike Taiqing's view that the original Primordial Beginning had disappeared and that everything about it had been replaced by the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

The Primordial Demon, on the contrary, believed that he was the original Primordial being who had truly "awakened," "sublimated," and entered a "higher level"!

Even the humiliations that Yuanshi once experienced are the same humiliations in the eyes of Yuanshi Tianmo!

He would naturally want to find the people who had brought him all sorts of humiliation, such as Taichu, Minghe, Tongtian, and Kunpeng, and settle the corresponding karmic debts!

Clearly, even though Yuanshi had already fallen into demonic possession and become the Primordial Heavenly Demon, he had not realized that what they called "shame" was their own fault!

"Congratulations, Master!"

"Master has already broken through to the true Primordial Taiji Realm, so why should our Chan Sect not prosper?"

"..."

At the same time, the disciples of the Chan Sect expressed their congratulations with great excitement.

And in their eyes, an unmistakable demonic intent shone forth! (End of Chapter)
