Only Heavenly Dao Hongjun Possessed Such Authority

Inside the Side Hall of Purple Cloud Palace.

Tongtian was also stunned by the tremendous changes in the Primordial Wilderness, and deeply shocked.

Tongtian could sense some of Hongjun's condition, so he confirmed one thing.

Hongjun knew absolutely nothing about the Primordial Wilderness's evolution; he even looked utterly bewildered.

This meant that some Mysterious Existence had completely surpassed Heavenly Dao's control.

Tongtian was thoroughly dumbfounded.

Who possessed such great ability that even Heavenly Dao was helpless?

But soon, an idea flashed through Tongtian's mind.

If he could establish contact with the being that had driven the Primordial Wilderness's advancement, could he then leave Purple Cloud Palace?

After all, the being that had pushed the Primordial Wilderness to evolve likely stood above Heavenly Dao.

At that thought, Tongtian's heart was completely shaken!

His heart had once been as still as water, yet at this moment, intense hope ignited within him!

To save his disciples!

Perhaps even revive the Interception Sect!

Tongtian was so excited that he nearly shouted aloud!

Yet he suddenly froze.

No!

How was he supposed to contact such an incomparably mysterious being while trapped within Purple Cloud Palace?

Could he only sit here and wait for the other party to save him?

That person did not even know him, so why would he save him?

Could he be his Elder Brother?

Tongtian could not help but shake his head with a bitter smile at that thought.

As Heavenly Dao Sages, how could the Three Pure Ones possibly possess the ability to drive the Primordial Wilderness's evolution?

That was simply impossible!

Still, Tongtian was somewhat invigorated. At least he still had some hope.

Not everything was under Hongjun's control.

He would eventually have a chance to leave Purple Cloud Palace.

While all the Sages and mighty beings throughout the Primordial Wilderness

were stirred with excitement by the Primordial Wilderness's advancement!

Within Eight Sceneries Palace in Daluo Heaven.

Taiqing leisurely watched the system interface, a smile on his face.

The rewards had finally arrived!

Ding! The Primordial World has completed its advancement!

Current level: Advanced Greater Chiliocosm!

Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining advancement rewards!

Three Lights Divine Water: A Heavenly Dao-level divine item that can restore life to dead objects and regenerate vitality from bare bones. It is one of the Primordial Wilderness's finest healing sacred medicines!

Nine Heavens Breath Soil: The Origin Essence of earth in the Primordial Wilderness. It can nurture all things and is among the most precious divine items!

Primordial Purple Qi ×2: Contains Primordial Chaos Origin. It is a supreme divine item and the foundation for attaining Sagehood!

Primal Unity Dao Marrow: Contains vast Dao essence and divine charm. It can help Primordial Saints break through Great Dao bottlenecks and raise their realm!

Grand Void Tribulation Light: A Great Dao-level divine power. Once unleashed, it can destroy all things. From divine power restrictions to Great Dao foundations, all may be annihilated by it!

Enlightenment Tea Tree: An exceptionally special Innate Spiritual Root. Within its coverage, living beings can double their speed of comprehending the Dao, while their chances of sudden enlightenment greatly increase!

Millstone of World Extinction (Fragment): A Chaos-level supreme treasure containing the Dao of Destruction. In its complete form, it can erase a Greater Chiliocosm and is the symbol of destruction!

Even Taiqing drew in a sharp breath upon seeing these rewards.

Not only were there many rewards, every single one was immensely formidable!

A fiery light flashed through Taiqing's eyes.

Three Lights Divine Water, one of the Primordial Wilderness's finest divine items!

It was divided into the lights of sun, moon, and stars. Separately, each possessed intense toxicity, capable of corroding blood essence and primordial spirits, even devouring True Spirits.

Yet when the Three Lights united, they became a supreme healing sacred medicine!

What moved Taiqing the most was that Three Lights Divine Water could also be used to strengthen the Chaos Pearl!

After strengthening, it could trace back to its source and produce an endless supply!

This meant he possessed inexhaustible Three Lights Divine Water!

It was simply terrifying beyond measure!

Merely saying it aloud could frighten a Sage senseless!

Nine Heavens Breath Soil was another supreme divine item, capable of nourishing spiritual roots and accelerating their growth!

It could be called a treasure every Sage lineage dreamed of obtaining!

Moreover, it too could be strengthened by the Chaos Pearl!

Primordial Purple Qi.

There was no need to say more about this item; it was precious beyond measure!

Not only could it be used to comprehend the Great Dao, it was also the foundation for attaining Sagehood.

Although Taiqing himself had no use for it, it was an important resource for helping others attain the Dao and become Sages.

Primordial Purple Qi symbolized the birth of Sages. It was an exceptionally vital strategic resource—the more of it, the better.

Primal Unity Dao Marrow.

Upon seeing this reward, divine light flashed through Taiqing's eyes, and his heart brimmed with joy.

It could break through Great Dao bottlenecks and advance one's cultivation further. Strength was the foundation of everything.

The Grand Void Tribulation Light was the same.

The offensive might of this Great Dao Divine Power was incomparably astonishing. Even Taiqing had drawn a cold breath while reading the system's description.

Below the Great Dao, all existences could be erased. What terrifying power was that?

Taiqing comprehended the Grand Void Tribulation Light without hesitation. Sensing the supreme might of this divine power, he was immensely excited.

Enlightenment Tea Tree.

This was an exceptionally precious strategic spiritual root.

With the Enlightenment Tea Tree, cultivation efficiency would increase dramatically.

For any Sage lineage, this was a profound foundation.

What was more, Taiqing had the Chaos Pearl's enhancement.

If the Enlightenment Tea Tree were elevated into a Chaos Spiritual Root, its enlightenment-boosting effect might double.

Taiqing nodded in satisfaction and placed the Enlightenment Tea Tree, Three Lights Divine Water, and Nine Heavens Breath Soil into the Chaos Pearl together.

Taiqing had already discovered that as his own strength increased, the Chaos Pearl's world capacity was continuously expanding as well.

Thus, he no longer needed to wait as before until a batch of spiritual items matured before storing them within.

Of course, such growth also required time.

In the end, Taiqing's gaze settled upon the Millstone of World Extinction.

Excited light flickered in his eyes.

In the Primordial Wilderness, there was no need to elaborate on the importance of magical treasures.

Powerful magical treasures could multiply one's own strength.

Not to mention a Chaos Supreme Treasure!

The Millstone of World Extinction was itself an extremely destructive supreme treasure of slaughter, its killing power unmatched by any.

Although it was currently incomplete, Taiqing believed that its power would not be inferior to a Xiantian Supreme Treasure.

After taking stock of all the rewards, Taiqing was in an even more cheerful mood.

He sat cross-legged to regulate his breath, then took out the Primal Unity Dao Marrow to refine it!

Strength was the foundation of everything!

Eight Sceneries Palace!

A thousandfold time flow covered the area!

Time passed like a shuttle, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

An incomparably profound Dao aura suddenly erupted like an inverted river of stars!

It swept through all of Daluo Heaven!

Countless spiritual roots and spiritual items within Daluo Heaven began growing madly!

Du'e Zhenren also entered a state of comprehending the Dao.

Moments later, that supreme Dao aura instantly vanished.

As though it had never appeared at all.

Inside Eight Sceneries Palace.

Taiqing slowly opened his eyes.

Divine light shifted endlessly within them.

It was as if countless worlds were approaching their end, while a new heaven and earth was being born!

Taiqing's eyes contained immeasurable Great Dao!

If one's Great Dao was not sufficiently pure, then even a Sage who gazed upon Taiqing at this moment risked being assimilated by his Great Dao.

After a moment, clarity returned to Taiqing's eyes. His aura fully withdrew, returning to simplicity, as though he himself was the Great Dao.

He spoke calmly. "System, open the panel."

Ding! Panel opened!

Host: Taiqing Laozi

Foundation: Peak Chaos Demon God

Dao Realm: Ninth Heaven of Primordial Saint

Talent: Primordial Origin Authority (Elementary Perfection)

Treasures: Chaos Pearl, Taiji Diagram, Primordial Purple Qi, Millstone of World Extinction (Fragment), Godslaying Spear, Twelfth Grade Black Lotus of Destruction, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda, Primordial Measuring Ruler, Three Lights Divine Water...

Bound World: Primordial Greater World

World Level: Advanced Greater Chiliocosm

Current World Fortune Value: 0

(Note: World levels are divided into Lesser Chiliocosm, Middle Chiliocosm, and Greater Chiliocosm. Above Greater Chiliocosm are Taiji, Taisu, Taishi, Taiyi, and Taichu. Above the Five Tais is Supreme Primordial Chaos!)

Taiqing inspected the panel, joy appearing on his face.

To his surprise, his Primordial Origin Authority had actually improved. Even the slightest increase in this supreme authority was terrifying beyond measure.

Without hesitation, he immediately immersed himself in comprehending it.

Under the thousandfold time flow, Taiqing swiftly grasped the Source Authority.

After finishing his comprehension, he opened his eyes, utterly shocked.

As his elementary Source Authority increased...

Taiqing could now control the Primordial Origin Force and influence Heavenly Dao for a short time without being noticed.

A mysterious gleam flashed through his eyes. This was an astonishing ability.

Even with the Great Dao Treasure Celestial Compass, he could only peer into Heavenly Dao and could not interfere with it, or Heavenly Dao would immediately notice.

But now, he could directly affect Heavenly Dao. This was no different from grasping Heavenly Dao Authority.

Within the Primordial Wilderness, only Heavenly Dao Hongjun possessed such authority.

And now Taiqing possessed this ability as well. Though it lasted only briefly, the consequences were exceedingly terrifying.

This meant Taiqing already possessed the strength to confront Hongjun head-on.

At the same time, it signified that Tongtian's opportunity to step out of Purple Cloud Palace had arrived.

Once Tongtian left Purple Cloud Palace, it would mark the beginning of the great trend of Unity of Three Teachings, taking an immensely crucial step forward.

At that thought, Taiqing's gaze became even more resolute and radiant. "I have finally waited for this moment."

Meanwhile, within the Side Hall of Purple Cloud Palace beyond Chaos, Tongtian was attempting to sense the changes in the Primordial Wilderness, hoping to use them to break through his bottleneck.

He wanted to seize a thread of life from this unprecedented transformation of heaven and earth.

Yet Heavenly Dao Hongjun merely watched everything with cold eyes.

Let alone whether Tongtian could accomplish it, even if his extraordinary talent truly allowed him to break through the Saintfall Pill's restrictions, could he succeed beneath Heavenly Dao Hongjun's watchful eyes?

"Meaningless." Heavenly Dao Hongjun scoffed at Tongtian's efforts.

Forget the Saintfall Pill—what if Tongtian did leave Purple Cloud Palace? In his eyes, Tongtian would always be as insignificant as an ant.

However, Hongjun did not notice that, right beneath his eyes, an immensely powerful Origin Force quietly infiltrated Purple Cloud Palace. Even Heavenly Dao detected nothing.

"Pfft!" Tongtian failed in his attempt to break through the Saintfall Pill and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Is it still impossible in the end? Despair surged through Tongtian's heart.

At that moment, a calm voice rang out. "Tongtian."

That voice belonged to Taiqing Laozi!

Tongtian was shaken. He abruptly looked up, only to discover that he was no longer in Purple Cloud Palace, but within a stretch of void.

This was a void created by Taiqing using Source Authority, one that even Heavenly Dao could not detect.

Taiqing called it the Source Void...

"This... how is that possible?!"

Tongtian's pupils contracted as disbelief filled his face.

The Purple Cloud Palace was where the Heavenly Dao resided. Such a change should have been impossible.

Yet at this moment, it had happened.

A phantom flashed past, and Taiqing Laozi appeared.

"Taiqing, why are you here?" Tongtian asked in shock.

"I came to help you leave Purple Cloud Palace."

Taiqing smiled.

"Leave Purple Cloud Palace?"

Tongtian was shaken to the core.

He could hardly believe his ears.

He even suspected this was a trap laid by Hongjun.

But Hongjun had no reason to do such a thing.

Still, Tongtian was ultimately a saint among disciples who stood above all others, and he did not dwell on it.

He merely looked at Taiqing coldly and said,

"I can leave Purple Cloud Palace on my own. I don't need your help."

Sure enough, Tongtian still bore a grudge against Taiqing and Yuanshi.

Taiqing smiled calmly.

"You should understand that the matter of Deification was Hongjun's scheme."

Tongtian fell silent.

He had sensed as much himself.

But what could that change?

Everything had already been destined. It could not be changed.
