Netherworld Underworld, Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Houtu was filled with emotion.
"The Human Race's bloodlust and courage are no less than the Witch Race's."
Houtu was considering something.
Should she help the Human Race resist the Heavenly Court?
At this point, she had gradually recovered the strength of a Great Witch of the Witch Race.
Xingtian, Jiufeng, Xiangliu, Kuafu, and Houyi had all reached the peak of the Golden Immortal of Grand Da Luo realm and stood below, awaiting her orders.
Although Houtu could not leave the Underworld, the Underworld's power had already begun influencing the Primordial Wilderness.
Grand Simplicity Heaven, Wa Huang Palace.
Nüwa's gaze flickered. The Human Race's resurgence was entirely due to Taiqing Laozi.
The Human Race's challenge to the Heavenly Court must also have been Taiqing's scheme.
This battle would surely reshape the Primordial Wilderness's entire landscape.
Jade Clarity Realm, Clear Micro Heaven, within Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi awoke from cultivation. His gaze fell upon the Human Race, and he was deeply shaken.
Under Taiqing's influence, he was no longer obsessed with one's origins.
At this moment, he rather admired the Human Race.
"Elder Brother's preaching throughout the Primordial Wilderness back then was truly a masterstroke."
"I have encountered a bottleneck in the Primal Chaos Nine Revolutions Celestial Art and need to seek Elder Brother's guidance."
In a side hall of Purple Cloud Palace, Tongtian opened his eyes and looked toward the Great Qin Empire upon the Primordial Land, his heart surging with excitement.
"So this is the Immortal Qin's campaign against Heaven that Elder Brother spoke of?"
"The day I leave Purple Cloud Palace is drawing near."
He looked toward Daluo Heaven, feeling both excited and uneasy.
With such an immense upheaval, Hongjun certainly would not stand idly by. When that time came, the Three Pure Ones might directly confront Hongjun.
Could the Three Pure Ones win this gamble?
Recalling all the miraculous powers Elder Brother Taiqing had displayed, Tongtian's gaze became even firmer.
This bold attempt by the Three Pure Ones would surely succeed. It would also rewrite the entire Primordial Wilderness and usher in a new era.
Within Eight Sceneries Palace in Daluo Heaven of the Taiqing Realm, Taiqing saw through everything.
The corners of his lips rose slightly in a faint smile.
Ying Zheng was now close to ascending as Human Emperor and founding Immortal Qin.
Challenging the Heavenly Court was an excellent chance to bolster the Human Race's fortune, even if Ying Zheng had not taken the initiative.
Yet the courage Ying Zheng displayed greatly pleased Taiqing.
Many of the Primordial Wilderness's powerful figures might not think highly of the Human Race, but they did not know that its strength far exceeded imagination.
Great Qin had yet to fully reveal its strength in its campaigns across the Primordial Wilderness.
"If they are to challenge the Heavenly Court, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors should also make their appearance."
Not only did the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors possess Peak Quasi-Saint strength, they were also crucial to Ying Zheng's ascension as Human Emperor.
After all, becoming Human Emperor required their recognition.
With a thought, Taiqing summoned Xuandu back.
At that very moment, the Chaos Pearl emitted supreme Dao resonance.
Delight appeared on Taiqing's face. The Chaos Pearl had finished strengthening; it was time for another harvest.
Taiqing casually waved his sleeve.
Within Chaos, vast quantities of Top-Grade Acquired Spiritual Roots emerged once more, along with hundreds of thousands of Innate Spiritual Roots and several thousand Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Roots.
Then, dozens of Chaos Spiritual Roots appeared in succession, along with Nine Heavens Breath Soil comparable to the Chaos level. Calling it Chaos Breath Soil now was more fitting.
Daluo Heaven was instantly filled with supreme spiritual essence and Dao essence, surpassing the Primordial Wilderness by hundreds of times.
Taiqing took out the Enlightenment Tea Tree. This spiritual root had already been strengthened to the Top-Grade Chaos level and was now called the Chaos Enlightenment Tea Tree. The Chaos aura and Great Dao mysteries it emitted were astounding.
Even Taiqing could feel his own Great Dao cultivation quietly improving. "After reaching the Top-Grade Chaos Spiritual Root level, its enlightenment effect has increased tenfold." Taiqing was extremely satisfied with these spiritual roots. They would be an important foundation for the Future Dao Sect.
With a wave of his hand, the stars of Daluo Heaven revolved and Great Dao Laws intertwined.
The Chaos Breath Soil condensed into a floating divine island, and Taiqing planted all the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Roots and Chaos Spiritual Roots upon it.
Nine Heavens Breath Soil could accelerate the growth of spiritual roots, while Chaos Breath Soil was ten times more effective.
At that moment, Breathing Earth Divine Island took shape. Countless spiritual roots were planted, and vast Dao essence and spiritual essence swept through all of Daluo Heaven like an inverted galaxy, even transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into Chaos Spiritual Energy.
Xuandu had only just returned when he sensed his Dao Realm cultivation rapidly rising.
This sudden change left him utterly stunned.
What was going on? He had merely gone out to spread the Dao once. Why had the entire sect become a sacred land for cultivation?
Meanwhile, Du'e Zhenren had successfully broken through his realm and seemed long accustomed to this.
"Senior Brother, all of this is Master's blessing. There is no need to think too much about it." After hearing this, Xuandu admired Taiqing even more.
"This is the Chaos Enlightenment Tea Tree. All living beings within Daluo Heaven may use it to comprehend the Dao.
"Of course, the closer you are, the better the effect.
"You may try it now."
Xuandu knew this was a rare opportunity and excitedly bowed in thanks. "Thank you, Master!"
He immediately sat cross-legged beneath the Chaos Enlightenment Tea Tree and immersed himself in its profound Dao essence, beginning his enlightenment.
Not long after, his Quasi-Saint aura reached its peak. Yet under the influence of Daluo Heaven's powerful Dao essence, that power continued to rise.
With a thunderous boom, a powerful Sub-Saint aura shot into the heavens!
Xuandu opened his eyes in delight and discovered that he had successfully broken through.
Taiqing nodded with a smile, then spread his hand and waved.
The Primordial Measuring Ruler and Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda appeared in his palms.
"I grant these two treasures to you."
Xuandu was overjoyed and eagerly accepted them.
"Thank you, Master!"
These two treasures were both merit treasures unique to the Primordial Wilderness. Their power was limitless, they were innately undefeatable, and they were untouched by karma. Their might rivaled that of Xiantian Supreme Treasures.
Xuandu was filled with emotion. Master truly was unfathomable! He had never expected the long-lost Primordial Measuring Ruler to be in Master's possession!
Taiqing smiled faintly and casually refined a million acquired and innate spirit pills and Dharma treasures, handing them to Xuandu.
"These pills and Dharma treasures are still to be entrusted to Great Qin."
"At the same time, have Ying Zheng invite the Human Emperors of Fire Cloud Cave and hold his coronation ceremony while you are at it."
"Afterward, secretly protect Immortal Qin and assist its campaign against Heaven."
Even upon seeing those million spirit pills and Dharma treasures, Xuandu remained deeply shocked.
His reverence for Taiqing deepened even further.
"I will not fail your trust!"
After respectfully accepting the order, Xuandu hurriedly departed Daluo Heaven.
Taiqing smiled calmly.
Xuandu was now a Sub-Saint, standing at the pinnacle beneath the Saints.
Combined with the two acquired merit treasures, his strength could be called the greatest beneath the Saints.
Even the Good Corpse forms of the Two Sages of the West, Tathagata and Bodhi, were far from being his match.
Together with the enormous supply of Innate Spirit Pills and Innate Spiritual Treasures, the power Great Qin could unleash was beyond the Primordial Wilderness's imagination.
When that time came, the Human Race's army would assault the Heavenly Court.
Celestial Immortals and Golden Immortals would be everywhere, and everyone would possess innate Dharma treasures.
Once the various factions of the Primordial Wilderness learned of this, they would surely be utterly shocked.
Xuandu had only just left when vast Saintly Might enveloped Daluo Heaven.
Yuanshi arrived, but stopped the moment he stepped into the Taiqing Realm.
He was stunned by the sight before him.
The spiritual energy within Daluo Heaven was so dense that it gathered into clouds, while Dao resonance churned like waves.
Every part of it surpassed the foremost Cave Heaven and Blessed Lands of the Primordial Wilderness.
A divine island floated above, covered in Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Roots and containing endless Chaos Dao resonance.
Immortal light intertwined, spiritual essence surged, and Dao resonance flowed.
Even a Saint could feel the circulation of his Great Dao accelerate severalfold.
The fortune of Taiqing's Dao lineage was vast and majestic, its blessed radiance dazzling. Even the Dao Ancestor's Purple Cloud Palace could not compare.
Yuanshi was so astonished that his mouth hung open.
What place was this? Had he taken the wrong path?
"Why have you come, Second Brother?" Taiqing's voice echoed through the void as his figure appeared.
He wore the Taiqing Ruyi Crown and the Mystic Yellow Taiji Robe. His bearing was tranquil yet unfathomably deep.
Dao resonance circulated around him, radiating an ancient, eternal aura.
Yuanshi was shaken inwardly, as though he stood before a Great Dao Demon God.
No one could rival Taiqing's imposing presence.
"Big Brother, have you broken through again?" Yuanshi asked in astonishment.
Every time he saw Taiqing, his cultivation seemed to have grown.
That speed was shocking.
Taiqing smiled faintly and nodded.
The Great Dao circulated on its own, and together with Daluo Heaven's boundless spiritual essence and Dao essence, Taiqing's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. He had now reached the peak of the Ninth Heaven.
However, Taiqing did not explain this to Yuanshi and merely said, "You came at the right time."
"You may use this Chaos Yellow Zhong Li Plum to break through your realm."
"As for those Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Roots and even Chaos Spiritual Roots on the divine island, you may take them back to the Chan Sect for the disciples' cultivation."
"These are all foundations of the Daoist Sect after the Unity of Three Teachings."
These spiritual roots had originally been differentiated from the Chan Sect's roots. The Three Teachings were fundamentally one, so it made no difference who used them.
Yuanshi stared at the Chaos Yellow Zhong Li Plum in his hand. It emitted endless Dao resonance.
Then he looked toward the dazzling interwoven spiritual light atop Breathing Earth Divine Island, and at last he understood.
The ones shining with Dao light were Chaos Enlightenment Tea Trees. Those surrounded by clear radiance were Chaos Ginseng Fruits, along with Chaos Star Fruits, Chaos Immortal Apricots, and more.
"Hiss—" Yuanshi drew in a sharp breath, his heart violently shaken.
There truly were Chaos Spiritual Roots on that divine island!
And their numbers were actually so vast!
Was this the foundation of the Future Dao Sect?
This was simply unbelievable.
Yuanshi simply could not believe it.
Yet he did not know that everything before him was merely the tip of the iceberg.
Taiqing continuously threw Innate Spiritual Roots into the Chaos Pearl in numbers too great to count.
When Yuanshi regained his senses, he was utterly exhilarated.
Elder Brother's strength was astonishing. A single Chaos Spiritual Root was enough to support a Saint's Dao lineage, yet Taiqing already possessed dozens of them.
Even Hongjun would find it difficult to rival the Future Dao Sect's foundation. If the Three Teachings united, who could contend with them?
The more Yuanshi thought about it, the more excited he became.
But why should he take the spiritual roots back to the Chan Sect? Would it not be better for the Chan Sect to cultivate directly in the Renjiao Sect? Daluo Heaven's spiritual energy was rich beyond compare, far surpassing the foremost Cave Heaven and Blessed Lands of the Primordial Wilderness. Kunlun Mountain could not compare at all.
Yuanshi could not help asking excitedly, "Elder Brother, what if we move Kunlun Mountain into Daluo Heaven?"
Taiqing replied with a smile, "There is no need to rush for now. You may first let the Chan Sect disciples come here to cultivate."
Hongjun would surely notice Yuanshi's arrival, but he would pay even closer attention to the changes in Daluo Heaven.
If Yuanshi directly moved Kunlun Mountain now, it would be far too conspicuous. Although Taiqing had the confidence to contend against Hongjun, now was not the best time.
Still, allowing the Chan Sect disciples to come cultivate was a fine choice.
Yuanshi nodded excitedly. "Good. Let them come cultivate here."
Taiqing smiled faintly and casually waved his hand, displaying supreme divine power.
The Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals, along with Yun Zhongzi, White Crane Disciple, and the others, all appeared in Daluo Heaven.
Even Guangchengzi, who had just returned from Kunlun, was moved here by Taiqing.
When Taiqing acted, even the Heavenly Dao could not trace any sign of it.
The moment the Chan Sect members arrived in Daluo Heaven, all of them were stunned!
What place was this?
The spiritual energy and Dao resonance within Daluo Heaven had condensed into physical form, flowing like a churning sea.
It made them shudder.
Moreover, the Chaos Enlightenment Tea Tree covered all of Daluo Heaven.
The instant the Chan Sect members entered, they felt their Great Dao resonate fiercely.
The profound Dao resonance that had once been difficult to comprehend now continuously emerged like flowing water.
Yun Zhongzi, Guangchengzi, and the others immediately entered a state of enlightenment.
Their Dao Realm cultivation rose rapidly.
Guangchengzi's Dao Realm reached the Late Quasi-Saint stage.
Yun Zhongzi reached the Peak Quasi-Saint stage in an even shorter time.
The other Chan Sect disciples also made breakthroughs.
Yuding, Taiyi, Lingbao, and the others all successfully entered the Quasi-Saint realm.
This scene utterly shocked everyone in the Chan Sect.
At the same time, they were overjoyed.
Yuanshi was very satisfied with this.
As expected of Big Brother!
With such strength, once our Three Teachings unite, no one will be able to oppose us.
"Once Third Brother returns from the Purple Cloud Palace, our Three Teachings will unite and become invincible under heaven!"
Yuanshi sighed.
"Indeed."
