Great Dao Warning

Li Xinghe continued forward. The Fierce Beast Tribulation was still brewing, the Tribulation Qi had yet to peak. Now was not the time to make a move.

He also knew that many hidden reincarnated Demon Gods lurked in the shadows, plotting their schemes.

Take Hongjun, for example, or Luohu. These two were unremarkable in the early days of the Primordial World.

Only after the Fierce Beast Tribulation did they rise abruptly. Then Luohu provoked the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, and once the three great races—Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin—had faded, the two of them reached their peak.

Then came the Immortal-Demon conflict, ending with Hongjun's victory, which established the Primordial World.

If he jumped out directly, he would become everyone's target. After all, back when Pangu was slaying the Demon Gods, he hadn't held back his commentary on the sidelines.

Take Hongjun, for instance. This Seat had specifically instructed Pangu to split him vertically.

Among the Chaos Demon Gods, quite a few knew he carried supreme treasures. As the old saying goes, better to guard against a thief in the night than one who covets openly.

Li Xinghe could only lie low, continuing to delve into the gifts of Daoist Shichen and the Lord of Destiny. As it turned out, time and destiny were indeed the foremost Laws.

The more he studied them, the more unfathomable they seemed. Originally, he had cultivated Pangu's Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique and made considerable progress on the Great Dao of Strength, but the facts proved that this Law was only suited to Pangu.

He, however, possessed unique talent in time and destiny. This was also why he could see at a glance that the War Demon God would later reincarnate as a fierce general of the Three Kingdoms.

Rather than stubbornly clinging to the unsuitable Great Dao of Strength, it was better to develop his own strengths. If the Law of Time and Destiny were cultivated to its peak, it would definitely be far stronger than the Great Dao of Strength.

"The Three Primal Races should have awakened by now. I'll go make an appearance first, maybe scrounge up some merit." Li Xinghe calculated silently.

He had already decided to be the sneakiest of the sneaky in the Primordial World, pushing and pulling from the shadows, never showing his face lightly.

Now, the Heavenly Dao was not yet manifest; the Great Dao ruled all. If he rashly made a move and obstructed the Great Dao's calculations, that would be a tragedy.

At present, the Fierce Beast race was commanded by Shen Ni and had become a real force, no longer the chaotic mess they once were.

The myriad races of the Primordial World had just been born and were no match for the Fierce Beast army.

Meanwhile, reincarnated Demon Gods like Luohu were doing everything in their power to fight the Fierce Beasts, because they vaguely sensed the blessing of merit.

Though the Primordial Heavenly Dao had not yet awakened, it was operating autonomously in the unseen. Back then, two-tenths of the Creation Merit had fallen upon the Primordial World. Now that the Fierce Beasts sought to destroy it, the Primordial World had activated its self-defense mechanism.

Killing Fierce Beasts earned merit, and every Demon God's strength was steadily increasing. They believed that one day, they would recover their original cultivation.

Li Xinghe continued digging with his shovel. Just now, he had unearthed a white lotus seed from deep underground.

"A Chaos Green Lotus Seed!" Li Xinghe was overjoyed. This was truly a treasure unearthed.

Though it hadn't bloomed yet, that was only a matter of time. He would take it back to Buzhou Mountain to plant it; the spiritual energy there was far richer than here.

"Digging, digging, digging in the Primordial World. Plant what kind of seed, grow what kind of flower. Could this be the legendary White Lotus of Purity?" Li Xinghe suddenly thought.

The Chaos Green Lotus Seed had transformed into the Four Divine Lotuses. Among them, the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit was nurtured in the Eight Virtues Pool of the West, becoming the treasure that suppressed the Western Teachings' fortune.

The Twelve-Grade Red Lotus of Karma Fire was born from the Minghe Blood Sea and obtained by Old Ancestor Minghe. It could bear karma, was both offensive and defensive, and within the endless Blood Sea, Minghe feared not even the might of a Saint.

The Twelve-Grade Black Lotus of World Destruction sat in the Source of Darkness, said to have been obtained by the Devil Ancestor Luohu. After Luohu fell, it became the lifebound treasure of Teacher Wutian, stirring up a great tribulation in the Three Realms.

Only the Twelve-Grade White Lotus of Purity was known by name, but no one had ever been said to obtain it.

Unfortunately, it had been dug up before it could take shape. Truly, the Heavenly Dao was irreversible; treasures needed time to form.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Li Xinghe. It was just a seed. Making it bloom ahead of time was simple—just feed it something good.

There happened to be such a treasure in the Primordial World, one Li Xinghe had long coveted.

That was the Three Lights Divine Water of Sun, Moon, and Stars. Used individually, these three divine waters were the deadliest poisons in heaven and earth.

Sunlight Divine Water could dissolve the physical body.

Moonlight Divine Water could corrode the soul.

Starlight Divine Water could devour the true spirit.

Once these three divine waters touched you, from flesh to soul to true spirit, they'd finish you off cleanly.

In Li Xinghe's words, it was even more vicious than killing, looting, and burning.

But if the Three Lights Divine Water were fused together, it became the finest divine medicine in heaven and earth.

It could revive the dead, regrow flesh and bone, repair Primordial Spirits and true spirits, and even accelerate the growth of all things.

This stuff could only be found on the Sun Star and Moon Star, and even then, only with luck.

For Li Xinghe, this was a trivial matter. With the Chaos Shovel, everything could be dug up.

Soon, he set foot on both stars and effortlessly dug up what he wanted.

The Sun and Moon were formed from Pangu's eyes. In the future, the Demon Emperor Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi would be born on the Sun Star.

"Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Accompanying Spiritual Treasure is the Chaos Bell, an Innate Supreme Treasure that combines offense and defense. I wonder if I can dig that up too." Li Xinghe suddenly thought.

The Chaos Bell was formed from a fragment of the Pangu Axe, a supreme treasure of the Primordial World that would play a crucial role in later ages.

But compared to Chaos Supreme Treasures, it was nothing. Soon, Li Xinghe sensed the aura of some Pangu Axe fragments.

"Could I really dig it up?" Li Xinghe was thrilled, digging energetically on the Sun Star.

Damn, this broken shovel—ugly as it was, it worked well. Those cheaters with systems were nothing compared to this.

But just as he was about to reach the fragment, the Eye of the Great Dao suddenly appeared, and a terrifying pressure descended.

"Whoa, crossed the line. That bastard Great Dao is definitely watching me." Li Xinghe was terrified. This was an existence that even Pangu had feared.

"It's over, it's over. I shouldn't have been greedy. Wasn't it just a crappy Innate Supreme Treasure? I already have a Chaos Supreme Treasure—why the hell did I need that thing!"

Li Xinghe immediately summoned the Chaos Pearl to shield himself, then gripped the Chaos Shovel and frantically dug through the void, hoping to carve out an escape route.

Still no good. He then brought out the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler—this was a Merit Supreme Treasure—hoping it might work.

Finally, the Eye of the Great Dao rumbled with divine lightning, but it didn't strike down. Perhaps it deemed Li Xinghe unworthy, or perhaps the Merit Supreme Treasure had taken effect.

After all, this was the Primordial World's domain. The Great Dao was merely temporarily overseeing the Heavenly Dao; as long as Li Xinghe didn't cross the line, it would let him be.

Seeing the Eye of the Great Dao recede, Li Xinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the Innate Supreme Treasure level was the baseline.

He could meddle in some of the Primordial World's operations, but he couldn't touch the bottom line—otherwise, he'd be going against the Great Dao.

For instance, digging up the Pure World White Lotus seed was fine, and gathering the Three Lights Divine Water was fine, but he couldn't touch the Chaos Bell.

"At the end of the day, it's still a matter of strength. If I could fully refine the power of Daoist Shichen and the Lord of Destiny, and penetrate all the restrictions of the Chaos Supreme Treasures, why would I need to be so cautious?"

But then again, if he truly reached that level, a mere Innate Supreme Treasure would mean nothing.

With that thought, he returned to Pangu Temple. Better to wait until the Fierce Beasts Calamity reached its final stage.

At Buzhou Mountain's Pangu Temple, Li Xinghe planted the Pure World White Lotus seed and watered it with the Three Lights Divine Water.

"Still too slow. Chaos Shovel, Time Acceleration." Li Xinghe waved his hand, and the flow of time nearby instantly increased by dozens of times.

This way, it wouldn't be long before the Pure World White Lotus could be nurtured.

As for himself, he continued to bury himself in cultivation, striving to refine the restrictions on the treasures.

Though his foundation was deep, others were no slouches either. And guys like Hongjun and Luohu were favored by the Heavenly Dao—their cultivation speed probably wasn't much slower than his.
