This is but a mere sigh from him

However, even now, Houtu cannot defeat Hongjun.

As a pivotal figure, Taiqing naturally would not overlook Houtu.

Taiqing's current task is to elevate the Earth Dao and form an alliance with Houtu.

Although Houtu's strength currently falls short of Hongjun's, her station far surpasses his.

Hongjun is merely the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao; even if he fully aligns with it, his authority derives from the Heavenly Dao and is bound by it.

Houtu, on the other hand, is the master of the Earth Dao. Once she merges with it, she can truly wield its power.

Thus, what Taiqing needs to do is help Houtu break free from the Heavenly Dao's restraints and elevate the Earth Dao.

This was originally difficult to achieve, as the Heavenly Dao would not easily release the Earth Dao.

But now, with the Earth Dao Divine Seal, simply handing it to Houtu for refinement will surely succeed in elevating the Earth Dao.

The alliance between Houtu and Taiqing grows ever more stable.

Nüwa has already laid out the Human Path, Houtu controls the Earth Dao, and Tongtian is about to leave the Purple Cloud Palace. Together, the three will bring about the Unity of Three Teachings and establish the Dao Sect.

Only by eliminating Hongjun can the Primordial Wilderness truly develop and evolve.

Even Taiqing, with his calm state of mind, finds it hard to suppress his excitement when speaking of this future.

All of this is for the Unity of Three Teachings, to achieve the Dao Sect, and to elevate the Primordial Wilderness into the Supreme Primordial Chaos.

Taiqing calms his mind and decides to use the Celestial Compass to deduce the celestial mechanisms.

Though sages cannot set foot in Beyond Heaven, and the Heavenly Dao keeps a tight watch on Taiqing, he already has a countermeasure.

The time is not yet ripe, so Taiqing chooses to wait for the opportune moment.

In this game against the Heavenly Dao, Taiqing displays extraordinary patience.

All the arrangements are already in place.

During this rare period of leisure, Taiqing takes out the Dao Tablet of the Primal Chaos Nine Revolutions Celestial Art and studies it carefully.

With Taiqing's profound Dao foundation and the aid of the Celestial Compass, he quickly grasps the essence of the Primal Chaos Nine Revolutions Celestial Art and deduces a powerful technique from it.

Though this new technique is inferior to the Primal Chaos Nine Revolutions Celestial Art, it far surpasses the Primordial Dao-Forging Method.

Most importantly, it completely breaks free from the limitations of the Pangu Primordial Spirit.

It can even be bestowed upon Xuandu for cultivation!

"Let's call it the Nine Revolutions Celestial Art." Taiqing smiles faintly.

After finishing the deduction of the Nine Revolutions Celestial Art's Dao Tablet, Taiqing stirs his mind and summons the Chaos Pearl.

The Chaos Pearl emits a faint glow, and Taiqing's gaze shifts along with it.

A single thought from a sage can give rise to 129,600 profound changes.

Seizing this opportunity, Taiqing intends to thoroughly explore the mysteries of the Chaos Pearl.

As the most enigmatic Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Pearl's abilities are far from limited to concealing celestial mechanisms.

Not long after.

Taiqing's gaze flickers, and he lets out a soft exclamation.

He discovers that within the Chaos Pearl lies a vast Chaos World.

This world has no living beings, but it contains something Taiqing never expected—the Primordial Chaos Origin.

The world within the Chaos Pearl holds the Primordial Chaos Origin.

At this moment, Taiqing finally grasps the true uniqueness of the Chaos Pearl.

He is deeply stirred.

One must understand that while the Primordial Wilderness was born from the opening of heaven and earth, Chaos is far more ancient than the Primordial Wilderness.

So where did Chaos come from?

The answer lies in Primordial Chaos.

The Primordial Wilderness originated from Chaos, and Chaos originated from Primordial Chaos.

Thus, the Primordial Chaos Origin is the foundation of both Chaos and the Primordial Wilderness.

Those Chaos Supreme Treasures and innate objects all trace their roots back to Primordial Chaos.

However, Primordial Chaos vanished eons ago in the ancient kalpas. The only remnant of Primordial Chaos visible in the Primordial Wilderness today is the Primordial Purple Qi.

A single wisp of Primordial Purple Qi can elevate a being to an immortal sage—this shows the mystery and power of Primordial Chaos.

And now, the Chaos Pearl nurtures a strand of the Primordial Chaos Origin. What does this mean?

Even just contemplating this possibility, Taiqing's Dao heart is utterly shaken.

The existence of the Primordial Chaos Origin might allow the small world within the Chaos Pearl to grow into a true Primordial Chaos World.

Though this endeavor is extremely distant and fraught with challenges, Taiqing still feels exhilarated.

Because although it is extremely difficult for a Primordial Chaos Origin to grow into a Primordial Chaos World, it has another terrifying function—elevating the origin of spiritual objects.

All spiritual roots and treasures in the Primordial World trace their origins back to Primordial Chaos, only to have fallen and fragmented into their current forms over time.

For instance, the Chaos Green Lotus split into numerous Innate Spiritual Treasures; even the ordinary grass and trees of the Primordial World were once Primordial Divine Objects imbued with Primordial Chaos Origin, gradually degrading and dividing into what they are now.

Thus, the presence of Primordial Chaos Origin can replenish the origin of spiritual objects in the Primordial World, nourishing spiritual roots and treasures to naturally elevate their rank—in other words, enhancement.

Grand Pure One Laozi fully understood the strengthening effect of the Chaos Pearl.

The Chaos Pearl can amplify the abilities of spiritual roots and treasures.

An ordinary medicinal herb, strengthened by the Chaos Pearl, could be elevated to a Top-Grade Acquired Spiritual Root.

And an Acquired Spiritual Root, depending on the degree of enhancement, could even become a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Root.

As for Innate Spiritual Roots, they have the chance to reach the level of Chaos Spiritual Roots.

Similarly, treasures can also be strengthened.

What terrifying power this is! Even more shocking is that this enhancement ability can be further accelerated with the Time Dao Palace! This means The Grand Pure One can rapidly and continuously produce vast quantities of Top-Grade spiritual roots and treasures.

Such immense capability left even The Grand Pure One stunned.

The number of innate objects in the Primordial World is limited; even great sages and saints possess few Primordial Divine Objects.

Yet the Future Dao Sect founded by The Grand Pure One is entirely different—countless Dao sects will rise in the future, everyone has the potential to become a saint, and each will possess numerous Innate Spiritual Treasures. What a terrifying prospect that is! Who in the Primordial World could withstand it? Even Hongjun would be at a loss.

Thinking of this, The Grand Pure One felt a surge of emotion.

"The Chaos Pearl is truly mysterious. Even if it cannot grow into a Primordial Chaos World, its displayed abilities are already astonishing." Suddenly, a thought stirred in The Grand Pure One's heart, suggesting that the Chaos Pearl might indeed have the potential to become a Primordial Chaos World.

After all, he had already bound the Primordial Origin and possessed the ability to continuously upgrade the Primordial World.

The Primordial World may one day evolve into a Supreme Primordial Chaos World, and even the world within the Chaos Pearl might share such an opportunity.

The Grand Pure One even conceived a bold idea: once the Primordial World's upgrade is complete, could there be a chance for some form of fusion with the Chaos Pearl's world?

The vision at that moment was truly thought-provoking.

What grand spectacle would the Multiverse Primordial Chaos World become then? Would it be the ultimate destination where all myths originate?

Even The Grand Pure One, with his profound state of mind, could not help but feel his heart surge.

After a moment, The Grand Pure One gently shook his head, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

This matter was still far off; no need to worry about it prematurely.

For now, the priority was to fully harness the power of the Chaos Pearl, laying a solid foundation for the future Dao Sect.

With a flicker of intent, countless streams of light soared into the sky above Daluo Mountain.

A million ordinary grasses and objects were instantly drawn into the Chaos Pearl, followed by a hundred thousand Acquired spiritual objects.

Even more precious, ten Innate Spiritual Roots were placed into the Chaos Pearl.

It wasn't that The Grand Pure One had no more Innate Spiritual Roots on hand, but that the Chaos Pearl had reached its carrying limit.

"Ordinary objects can be strengthened a million at a time, Acquired spiritual objects a hundred thousand, and Innate Spiritual Roots can only accommodate ten for now. Returning from Innate to Chaos is indeed difficult, but perhaps the capacity can be increased in the future."

"Still, each spiritual object only has one chance to replenish its origin, and no shortcuts can be taken—truly a pity." The Grand Pure One murmured softly, then chuckled.

This was merely a sigh of his.

Though the Chaos Pearl possesses heaven-defying abilities, it is only natural that it has limitations. If it could strengthen spiritual objects infinitely without any constraints, even the Great Dao would not tolerate such power.

The Grand Pure One was quite satisfied with this.

Even with the Chaos Pearl's enhancement effects bound by restrictions, its power remained fearsome.

After casting spiritual roots or objects into the Chaos Pearl, he simultaneously activated the Time Dao Palace's thousandfold acceleration coverage.

From then on, no further effort was needed; he only had to wait for the results.

Having done all this, The Grand Pure One turned his gaze toward the Jade Clarity Realm.

He wondered how Yuanshi's current cultivation was progressing.

With a single thought, heaven and earth responded accordingly.

Then.

The Grand Pure One silently vanished from Daluo Heaven, appearing in the Clear Micro Heaven of the Jade Clarity Realm.

Kunlun Mountain, Qilin Cliff.

Within the Jade Void Palace, the ground was paved with white jade.

On the Eight Trigrams Platform, Yuqing Yuanshi, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, was roaming through the myriad heavens and worlds as an Orthodox God.

Golden lotuses bloomed before Yuanshi, radiant light shone behind him, seventy-two-colored clouds of auspiciousness swirled around his body, and celestial celebratory clouds drifted above.

The profound aura of the Great Dao permeated the surroundings, clearly indicating that Yuanshi was comprehending the Great Dao.

Taiqing's arrival did not interrupt Yuanshi's enlightenment.

A moment later.

Yuanshi slowly opened his eyes.

Countless stars shifted and changed within his gaze, myriad universes evolved to their end, his stare deep as if penetrating all phenomena of the world and grasping the origins of all heavens.

These extraordinary visions dissipated instantly, and Yuanshi returned to his normal state.

Taiqing nodded slightly, sensing that Yuanshi's cultivation had improved once more.

He was now qualified to cultivate the Primal Chaos Nine Revolutions Celestial Art.

At this moment, Yuanshi also noticed Taiqing standing before him.

Taiqing's sudden appearance filled Yuanshi with immense shock.

"Elder Brother, when did you arrive?" Yuanshi's heart was full of doubt—he had been completely unaware.

He had just been in enlightenment; theoretically, even the slightest change should have been detected, yet Taiqing's arrival had given him no sense at all.

Taiqing's aura was unfathomably deep, and Yuanshi even suspected that if Taiqing wished not to be noticed, he truly might be unable to perceive him.

Thinking of this, Yuanshi's heart trembled.

Just how powerful had his elder brother become?

Faced with Yuanshi's question, Taiqing merely smiled faintly.

"Second Brother, congratulations on your successful enlightenment and further advancement in cultivation."

Yuanshi shook his head with a bitter smile. "It's merely a small improvement, far from breaking through the Sixth Dao Realm, let alone comparing to you, Elder Brother."

"Elder Brother, have you broken through another realm?"

Yuanshi's current Dao Realm was at the peak of the Fifth Heaven, and every step forward for a saint was extremely difficult.

Yet now, with Taiqing's Dao resonance flowing, Yuanshi could not see through his realm at all.

Clearly, Taiqing's Dao Realm had far surpassed what it was before.

Yuanshi couldn't help but speak up to request, "Since Elder Brother is here, why not offer me some guidance."

Yuanshi had already reached his limit in cultivation.

Though deeply aware that his elder brother far surpassed him, Yuanshi's heart was also extremely proud.

Yuanshi Tianzun was inherently extraordinarily proud.

Especially now, when cultivation was tied to the Unity of Three Teachings and the grand scheme to reverse Hongjun.

Yuanshi would never allow himself to be idle.

Taiqing smiled faintly after hearing this.

"Your slow progress in cultivation is mainly constrained by your cultivation method."

Yuanshi was taken aback.

"Elder Brother, what do you mean by that? The Nine Revolutions Profound Art is already a top-tier cultivation method of the Primordial Wilderness."

Yuanshi's words were correct.

If one set aside the special case of Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao.
