Humans in the primordial world, inscribing the Way of Heaven!

Chapter 88 [Mutual Cause and Effect, the Lich War] (Please Subscribe)
"You were one step behind!"

On Mount Sumeru, the Sage Zhunti gazed silently at everything: "Fortunately, Daoist Hongyun has truly perished!"

This attack on Hongyun, Xuanyin, and the Wu Clan was his scheme. His true form is the Bodhi Tree, one of the ten supreme innate spiritual roots, a symbol of wisdom. His Dao Fruit, within the order of the Heavenly Dao, also represents wisdom and has the responsibility of restoring order.

Of course, this is also related to the Great Dao he cultivates. In the Primordial Realm, apart from Yuanshi Tianzun, he is the most proficient in the Great Dao of Cause and Effect!
The Three Pure Ones respectively symbolize the cause of all fruits, the foundation of existence, and the end of heaven and earth. Their Great Dao also runs through endless time and space of the past, present, and future. In the order of the Heavenly Dao, the three fruits of creation, existence and non-existence, and the end also occupy great weight. If there is no discord among the three, they are unbreakable.

The two Western Saints also pursued this point. The Daoist who guided the Way to Nirvana was actually looking up to Lingbao Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Ones.

Zhunti Daoren is a counterpart to Yuanshi Tianzun, aiming to trace the cause and effect of all things in heaven and earth.

His greatest skill is reversing cause and effect.

The last of the Nine Sages of Heaven, symbolizing a glimmer of hope, must remain vacant.

The seven primordial purple energies in Zixiao Palace are indeed opportunities to become a saint, but only the first six can truly allow one to integrate into the sequence of the Heavenly Dao.

This is one of the reasons why Daoist Zhunti was willing to make forty-eight great vows in order to become a saint before Daoist Hongyun!

Because he understood cause and effect and saw through the most fundamental logic of the Way of Heaven!

However, because he relied on the power of his grand vow, his Dao fruition, like that of the Tongtian Sect Master and the Guide Daoist, exists in the future.

If Daoist Hongyun can achieve sainthood before Buddhism flourishes in the future, then the karma between him and Daoist Hongyun will be reversed once again.

Although it's almost impossible, there's always a glimmer of hope.
Based on his responsibility for his own path of cultivation, and the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," he was determined to make Daoist Hongyun fall into the Great Luo Loss Tribulation.

At the very least, before Buddhism flourishes and his grand ambition is fulfilled, he must not allow the Red Cloud Taoist to return, thus giving the other party an opportunity to become a saint!

He had done this for the past twenty chaotic eras, and naturally, he would eliminate this hidden danger in this era as well…

He and Daoist Hongyun are intertwined, and he can reverse the cause and effect. If Daoist Hongyun is fortunate enough to become a Heavenly Saint, then he can also reverse the cause and effect and turn the cause and effect back to normal.

If Zhunti Daoist becomes a saint first, then given the saint's power in the Heavenly Dao, Hongyun's abdication would be a predetermined fate within the grand scheme of things.

If Hongyun obstructs the path of the sage, then he is a great villain who deserves to perish!
Conversely, if Daoist Hongyun were to become a saint first, then Zhunti would owe the saint a debt of karma, and endless time and space would be controlled by Daoist Hongyun.

The order of events determines the cause and effect. It was precisely because Zhunti Daoren understood this that he was able to accomplish the great feat of becoming a saint through his great vow.

For Daoist Hongyun, there is actually only one way to break out of this predicament.

That is to make even greater aspirations and become a sage before Zhunti Daoren.

Sages can retain the memories of the previous era after the restart of the era, but each reincarnation is equivalent to a reincarnation.

Before they reclaimed the Dao Fruit, they were unaware of the existence of the previous era, and they acted entirely according to their own conscience!
Therefore, the sage's attitude towards things is different before and after attaining enlightenment.

Regardless of how attitudes change, prioritizing one's own path is of paramount importance.

As for the tunnels...

That's just going with the flow!

As everyone knows, Zhen Yuanzi is a good friend of Hongyun. If Zhen Yuanzi becomes a saint, he will definitely try to bring Hongyun back.

The return of Hongyun will again affect Zhunti's path, thus creating a vicious cycle.

This chaotic era was full of variables, which were inextricably linked to Xuan Yin and the Tongtian Sect Leader. Naturally, he took the opportunity to scheme against Xuan Yin.

Sitting atop Mount Sumeru, Zhunti Daoist gazed towards the Western Sea: "Since it's a variable, we must find a way to eliminate it and set things right. I just wonder... did that kid guess it himself? Or did the Tongtian Sect Leader warn him?"

"If it were the latter, that would be fine. Tongtian isn't good at planning, so this is probably his limit!"

"But if it's the former, a ruthless and thick-skinned being who can see through the essence of the Heavenly Dao... it will inevitably affect more of the Heavenly Dao's overall trend!"

"This is troublesome!"

……

On the other hand, as the Heavenly Dao withdrew the Primordial Purple Qi, Xuan Yin received the Heavenly Dao's protection, and the Tongtian Sect Leader no longer attacked the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

He merely snorted coldly, raised the Qingping Sword, and slashed at Mount Sumeru.

Boom!

This sword strike contained the power of the end of the world, and it did not sever Mount Sumeru in the present world, but rather the merit and fortune belonging to Mount Sumeru and the Western Religion.

A loud explosion resounded in the void, and a golden palm burst open, causing Mount Sumeru, which had stood for hundreds of millions of years, to sink tens of thousands of feet in an instant.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, why bother?"

Daoist Zhunti sighed helplessly, his voice echoing from the endless void: "Anyway, your disciple isn't in any major trouble, is he?"

Wisdom cannot defeat supernatural powers, and supernatural powers cannot defeat destiny. In the Primordial True World, what he feared most was someone like the Tongtian Sect Leader who would draw his sword at the slightest provocation!

Others, perhaps out of self-interest or the prevailing trend of nature, may choose to settle things peacefully.

But if the Tongtian Sect Leader is unhappy, he really will come and chop you up with his sword!
and……

The Tongtian Sect Leader's sword strike truly struck his vital point, damaging the fortune of Mount Sumeru and delaying the great rise of the Heavenly Dao in the West by at least several eons, thus affecting his ability to fulfill his grand ambition.

"It's your own fault!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader didn't care about all that. After letting out a cold snort, he used his divine powers as a saint to bring Xuan Yin back from the Western Sea.

The same goes for Zhen Yuanzi.

This time, Yuanshi Tianzun did not stop him. Xuan Yin had just followed the trend of the Heavenly Dao, so naturally he could not go against the Heavenly Dao.

"teacher!"

Looking at the Tongtian Sect Leader in front of him, Xuan Yin was overjoyed. The protection given by the Heavenly Dao could disappear at any time, and at this moment, it was still his own teacher who could give him a sense of security.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian!"

Although Zhen Yuanzi remained dejected, he still bowed to Tongtian Jiaozhu. Tongtian Jiaozhu nodded slightly in response, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuan, there's no need for such formalities. Fellow Daoist Hongyun has already attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit. Although he has perished, he will surely have the opportunity to return in the future!"

"As for the Earth Book..."

Suddenly, the Tongtian Sect Leader turned to look towards the Western Sea and laughed, "It seems this turmoil isn't over yet!"

Boom!

Above the Western Sea, space and time were in chaos, and endless divine thunder roared. It was the twelve ancestral witches of the Witch Clan who finally arrived late at this moment!
On the other side, Xihe also led the Heavenly Court's demon saints and demon gods out in full force, and in a short while, hundreds of Great Luo Immortals appeared in the void.

"Set up the formation!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Di Jun ordered his many demon gods to take out the Star Banner and set up the Zhou Tian Star Array that they had practiced before!

This time, since we failed to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, we must find a way to severely damage the Witch Clan and use this to clear away the obstacles to the Demon Clan's hegemony.

"interesting!"

Zhu Jiuyin, with his knowledge of the future and the images imprinted in the Pangu Temple, was not surprised by the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array of the demon race.

His gaze was now fixed intently on the hands of the Styx Daoist and the Earth Book.

Compared to these demons, the Earth Book is far more useful to the witch clan and the underground passages, and it must be taken from the Styx River.

"Set up the formation!"

Having just escaped Taiyi's entanglement, Dijiang was well aware of this, and naturally had the other Ancestral Witches set up the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation together.

Boom!

The malevolent energy that permeated countless dimensions instantly converged upon the twelve ancestral witches, and the power to create the world condensed upon Pangu's true form.

The Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array of the demon race is equally impressive, with the vast power of stars converging and transforming into a chaotic star sea that suppresses everything in the endless void, with countless galaxies constantly flowing into it.

Upon seeing this, the powerful beings led by Styx immediately tried to leave, but the Heaven-Opening Axe, formed from malevolent energy, firmly locked onto them.

Dijiang's voice echoed from the vast void: "Nether River, leave the Earth Book behind! Otherwise, today I will show you the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation of my Wu Clan. As for the Demon Clan, do you think we don't know about the Zhou Tian Star Formation? Without the Taiyin Star Lord, how can you contend with the formation of my Wu Clan?"

Styx was both shocked and furious. He had never expected that the Twelve Ancestral Witches would give him such a rude awakening when he had never offended the Witch Clan.

He sneered, "What if I don't pay?"

This time, failing to seize the Primordial Purple Qi can be considered a complete failure, but Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book can make up for his lost luck.

In exchange for the Treasure-Dropping Coin from the Sage Zhunti, he gave up 30% of the Asura clan's fortune. Using the Treasure-Dropping Coin to drop Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book also consumed a significant amount of his fortune.

For a moment, he even wondered if it was because he had lost too much luck that he was unable to snatch the Primordial Purple Qi from Hongyun's hands.
At this moment, he was seething with anger. Even if the Twelve Ancestral Witches manifested the true form of Pangu, he would not easily hand over Zhen Yuanzi's Book of Earth.

The sea of ​​blood will never dry up, and the River Styx will never die!

That Netherworld Blood Sea is the foundation of Styx Daoist's existence. As long as the Netherworld Blood Sea exists, Styx Daoist has absolutely no chance of perishing!

It's nothing more than paying a price!
Upon hearing this, Di Jun was overjoyed. Since the Wu Clan was targeting Styx, he could take this opportunity to win over Daoist Styx!

He immediately spoke up, saying righteously, "Innate spiritual treasures belong to those with virtue! Since Fellow Daoist Styx was able to seize the Earth Book from Zhen Yuanzi, it is Fellow Daoist Styx's magic treasure! Does your Witch Clan intend to forcibly seize Fellow Daoist Styx's magic treasure?"

"As for the Lord of the Moon Star, Fellow Daoist Xi Wangmu, you can also draw upon the power of the Moon Star!"

"Who will win and who will lose is still unknown!"

Two Yuanhui before, he sent Xihe to see the Queen Mother of the West. After some persuasion, the Queen Mother of the West agreed to let the evil corpse join the demon race.

But now, the Queen Mother of the West herself is here. If she is willing to cooperate with them, the power of the Zhou Tian Star Array can be raised to another level.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West's expression turned somewhat grim. Although she had agreed to Xihe's request to have the Evil Corpse Golden Mother secretly join the demon race and help them take control of the Taiyin Star and perfect the Zhou Tian Star Array, she had not intended to expose her connection with the demon race.

Now, Di Jun directly asked her how she would sever her ties with the demon race in the future.

"Then let's give it a try!"

Dijiang roared and activated the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation to its limit. Unparalleled power erupted in an instant, turning billions of spaces into nothingness and evolving the mysteries of creation.

"Open the sky!"

Seeing this, Di Jun and the many Great Luo Immortals of the Demon Clan dared not be careless, and the power of billions of stars poured down like a chaotic tide.

The Styx River did not stand idly by either. The phantom of the Netherworld Blood Sea appeared, overlapping with the Star Sea, further enhancing the power of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Xihe controls the sun, Xi Wangmu controls the moon, and Dijun sits at the center. The power of the endless stars instantly transforms into the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram, evolving the way of birth and death in the universe, seemingly about to destroy all laws of the heavens.

Boom!

The two forces collided instantly, annihilating billions of dimensions of space and time.

In terms of sheer power, Pangu's true form is stronger, but the Zhou Tian Star Array, supported by the Zhou Tian Stars, is more enduring than Pangu's true form.

Whether it was the starry sea evolved from the Zhou Tian Star Array or the blood sea evolved from the Styx River, both were reduced to nothingness by the means of Pangu's true form.

Unfortunately, the power unleashed by Pangu's true form was also completely exhausted by this attack.

The remaining aftershocks were enough to be blocked by Donghuang Taiyi's Chaos Bell.

"Come again!"

Dijiang was not intimidated at all. After several cycles, their Wu clan's Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation had undergone completely new changes.

It is not just a single strike.

With a loud shout, the Twelve Ancestral Witches conjured up twelve great worlds, and a continuous stream of malevolent energy poured down upon Pangu's true form.

This is the Earth Immortal Way of their Wu Clan, which allows them to store excess malevolent energy and supply it to Pangu's true form at crucial moments.
