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

"Teacher, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!" Taiqing continued to tell Hongjun his thoughts: "The Demon and Heavenly Paths are now the common enemies of our Immortal Path lineage and Taichu and the others!"

"Whether it's for us or for the Primordial Ones, the threats posed by the Demon and Heavenly Paths are currently greater than those of the other side."

"These are the foundations upon which our two sides can cooperate!"

"Most importantly, the three beings at the Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal level on the Demon and Heavenly paths are Yuanshi Tianmo, Jieyin, and Zhunti!"

"When the Heavenly Dao resurrects the Demon Ancestor Rahu in the future, and he also gains the cultivation and strength of the Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal realm under the nurturing of the Demonic Path, then the number of people at this realm will reach four!"

"If we add the support of the Heavenly Dao and the Demonic Dao, their overall strength will only become more powerful!"

"In comparison, in the current lineage of immortals, there are only three beings at the level of Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal: you, my teacher, and me, and at most your benevolent corpse avatar Hongyuan!"

"Given the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, if we were to officially engage in war, we would most likely be the ones to lose!"

"Moreover, as time goes by, the combined strength of the Demon and Heavenly Paths will only grow stronger!"

"In the primordial world today, besides us, the only ones who have any hope of fighting against the Demon and Heavenly Paths are Tai Chu and his group!"

"This is also the main reason why I believe we should cooperate with Tai Chu and the others!"

"Of course, these are just my thoughts at the moment. If you make a different decision, I will respect your choice!"

The principle of non-action allows Taiqing to view problems very rationally in many situations.

He himself was well aware that the humiliation and so on that Yuanshi, Hongjun and the others brought upon him in the so-called beginning of time were, in many cases, nothing more than their own fault.

However, in most cases, Taiqing chose to stand on the side of Hongjun and Yuanshi.

Moreover, in Taiqing's mind, it was more important to find a way to solve the current predicament than to deal with some hatreds that could be put aside later!
However, Taiqing could not make decisions for Hongjun, so he could only express all his thoughts.

The choice to proceed from here is entirely in Hongjun's hands!

"..."

After listening to Taiqing's words, Hongjun once again fell into a long silence and deep thought.

Hongjun himself must have known all of what the former said!

However, he still needs to mentally prepare himself before he can make the decision to withdraw from their cooperation!
"Sigh!" After an unknown amount of time, Hongjun sighed deeply and nodded, saying, "Taiqing, you are absolutely right!"

"With our current strength, it would be quite difficult to defeat the Demon and Heavenly Paths."

"Cooperating with Taichu and the others is indeed our best option right now!"

Hongjun had already figured it out. Even if he had irreconcilable grudges with Taichu and the others, cooperating with them was better than him gradually dying at the hands of the demons and the heavens and completely losing the opportunity to take revenge on them.
"However, even if we want to cooperate with Taichu and the others, they may not agree." After thinking for a moment, Hongjun said solemnly, "In that case, let's go to Tianyuan Mountain ourselves and meet with Taichu and the others!"

"Yes, teacher!" Upon hearing this, Taiqing breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely afraid that his teacher would continue to stubbornly oppose him out of hatred.

Next, we'll need to see what Tai Chu and his group think.

then!

After making their decision, Taiqing and his group concealed their whereabouts as much as possible and secretly arrived at Tianyuan Mountain.

After all, if the Primordial Demon King, Jieyin Zhunti and the others were to discover Taiqing and Hongjun's plans, it might not be a good thing.

Tianyuan Mountain!
"what?"

"Taiqing, Hongjun?"

"Why are they two here?"

The clones of Tai Chu, Qing Lian, and others who stayed here to prevent any accidents were somewhat surprised and puzzled after noticing the arrival of Tai Qing and Hong Jun.

"interesting!"

"In that case, let's see what they're planning."

After a moment's thought, Tai Chu and Qing Lian decided to wait and see what Tai Qing and Hong Jun's intentions were before making any decisions.

"Hongjun, Taiqing, what is the purpose of your secret visit to our Tianyuan Mountain?"

"We remember that your relationship with us wasn't exactly that good, was it?"

Not long after, Tai Chu and Qing Lian came out and met Tai Qing Hong Jun, asking him questions frankly.

“We are here to seek cooperation.” Since the decision had already been made and they had come here, Hongjun did not hesitate and directly stated their purpose: “With the help of the Heavenly Dao, you have all seen the influence of the Demonic Path on the Primordial World.”

"Even you wouldn't want to see the demonic path and the heavenly path continue to fight like this, would you?"

"Moreover, you can probably guess without me saying it: after the Demonic Path and the Heavenly Path deal with us, they will deal with you next!"

"This is the basis for our cooperation!"

"I see!" After hearing Hongjun's words, Taichu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood his thoughts.

Although the usually arrogant Hongjun seeking cooperation from him was something he hadn't anticipated, upon reflection, it was actually quite reasonable.

For Hongjun and his companions, temporarily setting aside hatred in the face of a life-or-death situation was acceptable.

"Brother, what do you think?" Tianyan asked Taichu.

"You make the decision!" Qinglian also handed over her choice to Taichu.

As for Tianyan and Qinglian, they didn't harbor much hatred towards Hongjun and the others.

In past confrontations, our side has basically won every time.

Even if there are some irreconcilable grudges, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to take revenge immediately.

Most importantly, Qinglian and Tianyan had to admit that the Demonic Path and the Heavenly Path were indeed common enemies.

Especially after they guessed that the Heavenly Dao might be hiding most of its strength and that its true power might have reached the level of a Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal, the threat level of the Demonic Path and the Heavenly Dao far exceeded that of Hongjun and the others.

Moreover, Qinglian and Tianyan have always been leading various activities under Taichu's guidance, so they now trust his judgment. "Alright!" After a brief moment of thought, Taichu nodded: "You're right, the Demonic Path and the Heavenly Path are also a huge threat to us."

"Since you've both come to us seeking cooperation, we naturally need to do you a favor."

As mentioned many times before, cooperation is beneficial to both parties.

Tai Chu, Qing Lian, Tian Yan, and Yang Mei's original forms are still fighting against the time illusions of those Chaos Demon Gods in the former Daoist Temple.

Before they can defeat all the time illusions of the Chaos Gods and obtain the opportunities and fortunes they desire, they need to maintain stability in the Primordial World.

Currently, the idea of ​​Tianyuan Mountain, the Immortal Path, and the Demonic Heaven Path sharing the primordial world is what Taichu and the others would prefer to see for the time being.

Once the original forms of the Primordial Ones obtain the opportunities and fortunes they desire, then perhaps this balance will need to be broken!

Furthermore, some of Tai Chu's ideas may be more easily realized through this collaboration.

"So good!"

Seeing Tai Chu nod, Hong Jun and Tai Qing both breathed a sigh of relief; they were really afraid that the former would shake his head and refuse.

If they insist on cooperating, it would be a loss of face; if they don't insist on cooperating, they worry that they won't be able to deal with the Heavenly Demon and the Demon Path.

Now they have only made a request for cooperation, and the Primordials have already agreed, which is obviously a better outcome.

“Speaking of cooperation, I happen to have something that might require your help.” At this moment, Tai Chu said to Hong Jun and the others with a meaningful tone.

"What is it?" Hongjun and Taiqing looked at Taichu with some surprise and some wariness.

They had a premonition that what Taichu was about to say was probably not a trivial matter, and it might not necessarily be a good thing for them.

“It’s very simple!” Tai Chu didn’t keep them in suspense any longer and said directly, “I plan to integrate the nearly 4000 Great Daos that I have now comprehended into the Primordial World, so that all the creatures in the Primordial World can comprehend these Great Daos and thus use my power to shield them from the influence of the Demonic Path.”

"If you really want to deal with the Demon and Heavenly Paths, you should choose to support me, right?"

"What?" Upon hearing Tai Chu's words, Hong Jun was first taken aback, then his expression changed drastically: "You want to become an existence similar to the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, or even the Great Dao?"

So far, there are three kinds of laws in the primordial world: the Three Thousand Demonic Laws, the Three Thousand Heavenly Laws, and the Three Thousand Great Laws.

Theoretically speaking, each of the paths, such as the Earth Path, the Human Path, and the Immortal Path, should have its corresponding Three Thousand Laws.

It's just that no one has expanded on this yet.

What Tai Chu wanted to do was something unique in the entire prehistoric world, and even in the entire chaotic universe.

The Primordial One was an existence that controlled nearly four thousand Great Dao Laws and had already integrated two thousand Great Dao Laws.

In terms of the pure Dao, he may have already surpassed all other living beings in the primordial world.

From this perspective, if his Great Dao Laws were fully integrated into the primordial world, and then allowed the primordial beings to comprehend them, he would be fully qualified.

However, this means that once the primordial beings comprehend his Great Dao, not only will their own cultivation level forever be lower than his, but also, while they rest, a portion of the effects of their cultivation will be fed back to him, making him even stronger.

Even if Tai Chu wanted to, he could control these primordial beings who had comprehended his Great Dao Laws at any time!
"Is this the method you mentioned before, developed by Buddhist demon-possessed individuals like Maitreya and Bhaisajyaguru, to prevent other primordial beings from becoming demonic?" Taiqing seemed to understand something and said with a complicated expression, "No wonder you've never published your research results during this time."

"Are you worried that if you reveal this, it will provoke strong opposition from our Immortal Path, as well as the Demon and Heavenly Paths?"

Taiqing had to admit that if the method Taichu had proposed were implemented, it might indeed help the beings of the primordial world avoid the influence of the demonic path.

But in that case, the Primordial Beginning might gradually transform into something similar to the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

All the primordial beings who cultivate his Great Dao Laws at that time will essentially be working for him.

As a result, the Primordial One will become stronger even faster!

This is clearly something that neither the Immortal Path nor the Demonic Path would want to see!
However, now that Hongjun and Taiqing have taken the initiative to seek cooperation, Taichu has revealed this matter. Moreover, this is indeed a method to deal with the Demon and Heavenly Paths. Therefore, it will not be so easy for them to refuse.

Taiqing had to admit that Taichu had indeed chosen a good time.

"Since you understand, that's for the best." Tai Chu didn't refute anything, but smiled and nodded, asking, "Now, state your choice?"

In fact, the reason why Tai Chu has not yet put his idea into practice is, on the one hand, as Tai Qing said, that he is worried about strong opposition from the Immortal Path and the Demon Path.

On the other hand, this is no small matter in itself, and he needs time to make various preparations.

However, he had just finished preparing when Hongjun Taiqing happened to come to his door.

But these things don't need to be explained as clearly as Taiqing Hongjun did.

"you!"

At this moment, neither Taiqing nor Hongjun looked well, and they were both struggling intensely inside.

If Tai Chu successfully implements his plan, then even if Hong Jun and Tai Qing resolve the troubles brought by the Demon and Heavenly Paths in the future, the threat posed by Tai Chu will inevitably become even greater!

However, without the help of Tai Chu and the others, Hong Jun and Tai Qing's current combined strength would probably be insufficient to contend with the future Demon and Heavenly Paths.

When the time comes, perhaps all that awaits them is utter destruction.

"it is good!"

"Our lineage of immortals can help you implement your plan to integrate your Great Dao into the primordial world."

"But when you face the Demon and Heavenly Paths in the future, you must go all out!"

After a period of intense deliberation, Hongjun finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement to Taichu's proposal.

His final request was to prevent Taichu and his group from superficially agreeing to cooperate with them in the future, but in reality, they were just taking advantage of the situation and reaping the benefits without lifting a finger!
"Of course!"

"The Demon and Heavenly Paths are also our greatest enemies, and of course we will do everything in our power to eliminate them!"

Taichu nodded without hesitation in response.

For him, once their strength increased, dealing with Hongjun and Taichu would be quite easy; there was no need to rely on the power of the Heavenly Dao and the Demonic Dao to eliminate them! (End of Chapter)
