Dao Disciples Are Indeed Extraordinary!

"Tell me the situation."

Respected Host, this system is the Primordial Luck Binding System, capable of binding a world's origin.

Binding or upgrading a world grants rewards.

Primordial World origin detected. Bind?

Grand Pure One Laozi's spirit surged. Was there even a need to hesitate?

World origin—something even a Sage could never grasp!

And binding came with rewards on top of that!

Of course he would bind!

"Bind!"

Grand Pure One Laozi's resolve was firm.

Soon, the system responded.

Ding! Binding Primordial World origin...

Ding! Primordial World origin bound successfully!

Grand Pure One Laozi sensed a tremendous shift in his own origin, as if infinite Great Dao Starlight surrounded him.

With the starlight's arrival, the Saintfall Pill suppressing his origin dissolved into nothingness in an instant.

Grand Pure One Laozi's eyes brightened, joy filling his heart.

He hadn't expected the Saintfall Pill to be dispelled so easily.

It made sense, though.

The Saintfall Pill was one of the Three Great Malignant Artifacts, designed specifically to suppress a Sage's origin—that was its mechanism.

But now that Grand Pure One Laozi had bound the Primordial World's origin, how could such a pill still function?

It was erased without a sound, unnoticed even by the Heavenly Dao.

Grand Pure One Laozi was deeply satisfied. He then examined the system panel.

Host: Grand Pure One Laozi

Root: Top-Tier Primordial Divinity

Dao Realm: Primordial Sage, Sixth Heaven

Technique: Nine Revolutions Profound Art

Treasures: Taiji Diagram, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda, Taiyi Whisk, Southern Departing Earth Flame Light Banner...

Bound World: Great Primordial World

World Level: Intermediate Greater Chiliocosm

(Note: World levels are Lesser Chiliocosm, Middle Chiliocosm, Greater Chiliocosm.

Above Greater Chiliocosm are the Five Ultimates: Taiji, Taisu, Taishi, Taiyi, Taichu. Above the Five Ultimates is Primordial Supreme!)

Current World Luck Value: 0

Grand Pure One Laozi studied the panel before him, his heart shaken and contemplative.

He was awed by the intricate layers of the Primordial World, each containing countless possibilities.

A higher world encompassed three thousand lower worlds; a Middle Chiliocosm held three thousand Lesser Chiliocosms; a Greater Chiliocosm contained three thousand Middle Chiliocosms.

What of the supreme Primordial Chaos World—how magnificent and sacred must it be!

Grand Pure One Laozi couldn't help but look forward to the world's future transformation.

He had originally intended to rebuild the Primordial World; now, with the Primordial Luck System, it would take half the effort.

Yet he also lamented that the Primordial World was merely an Intermediate Greater Chiliocosm. During the Deification era, it should have reached the Advanced standard.

But Hongjun's merging with the Dao had caused the Primordial World's level to drop.

He knew that as time passed, the Primordial World would only decay further, eventually entering the Dharma Ending Age.

Hongjun was truly the root of the calamity—he had to be eliminated!

A gleam of resolve flashed in Grand Pure One Laozi's eyes.

Still, settling accounts with Hongjun was a matter for the future. The immediate crisis demanded attention.

He fixed his gaze on the luck value on the panel and asked, puzzled, "System, what significance does this luck value hold?"

"Reply to Host: Luck value reflects a world's potential. Raising the luck value raises the world's level."

Grand Pure One Laozi's eyes lit up slightly. If he wanted to elevate the Primordial World, the key lay in the luck value.

He pressed on, "How is the luck value assessed? How can it be raised?"

The system responded at once.

World fortune value is assessed based on multiple factors, including the strength of living beings within the world, the concentration of spiritual energy, and the vastness of the world itself.

The increase in fortune value likewise depends on these factors. As the world evolves with each iteration, it grows stronger, and the host receives rewards.

Ding! Detected that the Primordial World's origin has been bound.

The initial gift pack has been activated. Open it?

Grand Pure One Laozi's heart stirred with excitement—the rewards were coming!

Without hesitation, he replied directly.

"Open."

What rewards lay within the initial gift pack?

This filled Grand Pure One Laozi with anticipation.

The initial gift pack has been opened.

Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Chaos Treasure: Chaos Pearl.

Obtained Chaos Spiritual Treasure: Time Dao Palace (Damaged).

Obtained Creation Source Pill x2.

Obtained Great Dao Disciple: Primordial Genesis Dao Chapter.

Obtained Primordial Disciple: Primordial Dao Forging Method.

Grand Pure One Laozi was stunned by these rewards.

Even a sage's state of mind could not remain calm.

"These rewards are astonishing!"

"To think there's a Great Dao Disciple and a Chaos Treasure?!"

Grand Pure One Laozi's pupils trembled.

He had never imagined such generous rewards.

The Chaos Pearl—the most mysterious of the four great Chaos Treasures.

Back during the Great Tribulation of Heaven Opening, all Chaos Treasures were doomed to shatter.

The Chaos Green Lotus nurtured the Great God Pangu, then split apart, transforming into countless innate treasures.

The Great God Pangu used the Heaven Splitting Axe to cleave heaven and earth, and the axe later transformed into the three Xiantian Supreme Treasures: the Taiji Diagram, the Chaos Bell, and the Pangu Banner.

The Creation Jade Tablet condensed the essence of the Three Thousand Great Daos, yet it too could not escape destruction; the largest fragment was obtained by Hongjun.

Only the Chaos Pearl remained intact, concealing its tracks so thoroughly that even the Heavenly Dao could not detect it.

The Chaos Pearl was regarded as the one that escaped—its mystery and power known to none.

Grand Pure One Laozi was deeply shaken after obtaining the Chaos Pearl.

Another reward, the Time Dao Palace, also pleased him greatly. This was the Time Demon God's natal spiritual treasure. When whole, it could accelerate time ten-thousand-fold; though now damaged, it could still amplify time a thousand-fold.

A sage's cultivation required steady ascension, and the Time Dao Palace's acceleration effect was crucial.

Turning his gaze to the Creation Source Pill, Grand Pure One Laozi nodded slightly.

This pill could trace back to the origin, purge impurities, and neutralize the Saintfall Pill.

He himself had no need for it, but Yuanshi and Tongtian did.

For they had no Primordial Origin to bind.

"Great Dao Disciple, Primordial Genesis Dao Chapter..."

Grand Pure One Laozi stared at the Dao chapter radiating Primordial Clear Light within the Violet Palace, his heart filled with awe and fervor.

Great Dao Disciple—pointing straight to the Great Dao.

And the Primordial Genesis Dao Chapter allowed cultivation by drawing on the Primordial World's origin.

The stronger the world, the faster his progress, and the more terrifying the power he could obtain.

One day, he would truly attain the Great Dao.

The myriad realms were endless—whether the Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, Human Dao, or the all-encompassing Great Dao, their essence was all "Dao."

With the Primordial Genesis Dao Chapter, Grand Pure One Laozi could truly realize the Dao and break through all constraints.

His heart surged with excitement. He knew well that Heavenly Dao Sages were bound by heaven—this was their greatest shackle.

Yet, with the Primordial Genesis Dao Chapter, such limitations would cease to exist.

Once he fully attained the Dao, even the Heavenly Dao could not compare, let alone the Great Dao left behind by Pangu.

Moreover, this Dao chapter could strengthen the power of the world's origin, its might beyond imagination.

Grand Pure One Laozi unhesitatingly merged the Time Dao Palace into the Eight Sceneries Palace, activating a thousand-fold time acceleration.

Treasures rewarded by the system required no refinement to use—even Chaos Treasures were no exception. This convenience pleased him greatly.

If not for this, even for a sage like him, it would take several thousand years to fully control the forty-nine layers of restrictions within the Chaos Pearl.

With time acceleration activated, Grand Pure One Laozi began cultivating the Primordial Chaos Creation Dao Chapter.

Bathed in Purple-Gold Light, he sat as still as eternity.

The Power of the Great Dao transformed into a strand of Primordial Clear Light, pouring into his brow.

In an instant, countless Great Dao Runes surfaced in his mind, and an unparalleled aura of the Great Dao permeated his surroundings.

The entire Eight Sceneries Palace was shrouded in this aura; any mortal who entered would be infected by the Dao's rhythm.

The years of the Primordial World were long and immeasurable.

A hundred years passed like a snap of the fingers, yet within the Eight Sceneries Palace, Grand Pure One Laozi had already lived through a hundred thousand years.

Finally, he slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze contained the endless operation of the Great Dao, revealing the mystery of world birth and destruction—profound and ineffable.

Laozi's aura grew even more terrifying, the sage's Great Dao spreading throughout the entire Taiqing Realm.

This change caught the attention of Xuandu and Du'e Zhenren in Daluo Heaven.

Xuandu looked toward the Eight Sceneries Palace, his heart stirring: Could it be that the master is comprehending the Dao and breaking through?

Yet, that aura quickly faded, as if it had never existed.

Xuandu suspected it was an illusion.

Inside the Eight Sceneries Palace.

Laozi examined himself, extremely satisfied.

His aura had now returned to simplicity, making it difficult to discern his cultivation depth.

But he had reached the Primordial Seventh Heaven realm, and his foundation had been reborn, becoming a Chaos Demon God Body.

All of this came from cultivating the Primordial Chaos Creation Dao Chapter.

A disciple of the Great Dao was truly extraordinary!

The current Primordial World was merely an Intermediate Greater Chiliocosm. Once he elevated its level and cultivated using the world's origin, the future would surely be astonishing.

Thinking of this, Laozi took out the Primordial Dao-Forging Method.

This method was useless to him, but it would greatly benefit the beings of the Primordial World.

If he imparted the sage's techniques to all living beings, their strength would undoubtedly increase dramatically.

Enhancing the strength of living beings meant raising the world's level, which also strengthened himself.

After that, he would help Tongtian leave the Purple Cloud Palace.

Then, the Three Pure Ones would unite as one, and the Three Teachings would merge into a single entity!

With that, the groundwork would be largely complete.

A smile curled at the corner of Laozi's lips.

On Kunlun Mountain in Clear Micro Heaven, atop the towering Qilin Cliff, stood the majestic Jade Void Palace—the Dao field of the sage Yuanshi Tianzun.

Inside the hall, Yuanshi Tianzun, clad in a golden-threaded jade-woven Nichang Dao robe and crowned with a Jade Pure Hibiscus Crown, sat with closed eyes, comprehending the Great Dao as his spirit roamed across the heavens.

Nichang symbolized beauty and nobility, while the hibiscus represented purity and solemnity.

Around him swirled Seventy-Two Colored Lights, illuminating heaven and earth, displaying the supreme majesty of a sage.

At this moment, Grand Pure One Laozi appeared in the Jade Void Palace and called softly, "Second brother."

Yuanshi Tianzun opened his eyes and was quite surprised to see Laozi: "Elder brother, when did you arrive? I didn't sense you at all."

Although Laozi was the strongest among the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi had thought he could at least perceive Laozi's approach—but this time, he had completely failed to do so.

Could it be that elder brother's strength had increased?

This thought flashed through Yuanshi's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

Ever since they had taken the Saintfall Pill, their cultivation had been completely sealed, making further breakthroughs impossible.

Still, Yuanshi found Laozi's change deeply astonishing.

Grand Pure One Laozi chuckled lightly, said no more, and cut straight to the point.

"You've been confined Beyond Heaven for many years. Do you still remember the Deification matter back then?"

Yuanshi looked somewhat embarrassed after hearing this, but eventually sighed.

"Elder brother, there's no need to tease me. I admit I was wrong in that matter."

Hongjun had ultimately made the Three Pure Ones take the Saintfall Pill and confined Tongtian, which seemed fair on the surface, but the intent behind it was all too clear.

How could Yuanshi not guess the deep scheming hidden behind the Deification?

Now, after being under house arrest Beyond Heaven for tens of thousands of years, the Jie Sect had been destroyed, and the Chan Sect was also in decline.

Yuanshi's Twelve Golden Immortals—Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Cihang, Juliusun, along with the Chan Sect's deputy leader Burning Lamp—had all entered Western Heaven to become Buddhas.

As for the remaining second-generation Chan Sect disciples, though they had escaped Deification, the sect's legacy was hardly in better shape.

After the Three Pure Ones consumed the Saintfall Pill, the Three Teachings lost the protection of the saints.

To preserve the Chan Sect, Yuanshi's trusted Antarctic Immortal Elder willingly ascended to the Heavenly Court to serve as the Antarctic Longevity Great Emperor.

Even so, the Chan Sect continued its decline.

Thus, Yuanshi came to regret his earlier rift with Tongtian and the Chan-Jie War.

Yet regret could no longer change the present.

Now, saints were forbidden from setting foot in the Primordial Wilderness, and with the Saintfall Pill inside them, they had long lost the power to resist.

At this thought, Yuanshi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
