The system sent reward notifications one after another, jolting Taiqing's mind.
This reward was so astonishing that even his breath caught for a moment.
Soon, the excitement within him became impossible to conceal.
This batch of rewards was heaven-defying! Especially when he saw the first item, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes.
Primordial Shore Flower!
An extremely rare Top-Grade Chaos Spiritual Root, containing Primordial Chaos Origin.
It could produce one strand of Primordial Purple Qi every ten thousand years.
Upon learning this effect, Taiqing's face lit up with ecstasy.
Primordial Purple Qi was the foundation for attaining sainthood, the supreme divine object of the Primordial Origin.
Even the Heavenly Dao could only possess a fixed number of them.
But with the Primordial Shore Flower, Taiqing could mass-produce Primordial Purple Qi!
Didn't this mean he could create saints?
What astonishing fortune was this?
After Taiqing bound himself to the Primordial Origin, he immediately understood why saints had been so scarce in the past.
It was because the world level of the Primordial Origin was insufficient, still in constant decline, unable to bear more saints.
But now, Taiqing intended to elevate the Primordial Origin to the Five Tai World!
In this way, it could accommodate far more saints.
If the Primordial Origin eventually reached the realm of Supreme Primordial Chaos, even having everyone become saints would pose no problem.
The more saints there were, the more prosperous the Primordial Origin would become.
This was the correct evolutionary path the Primordial Origin should take!
For trillions of years, Hongjun had been scheming in the shadows, attempting to weaken the influence of saints through calamities and undermine the foundation of the Primordial Origin, all to achieve complete transcendence.
However, Taiqing was determined to usher in a new era of saints.
Once Taiqing's plan was implemented, it would completely shatter Hongjun's long-laid schemes.
The Primordial Dao-Forging Method that Taiqing had previously taught directly targeted the path of Primordial Dao, giving all beings hope of attaining sainthood through laws.
But proving the Dao through strength was extremely difficult.
More crucially, Primordial Purple Qi and proving the Dao through strength were not contradictory.
Primordial Purple Qi contained Primordial Chaos Origin, and with the right opportunity, it would be the best choice.
Thus, the arrival of this Primordial Shore Flower came at just the right time, and Taiqing was overjoyed.
Still, seeing that this flower required ten thousand years to mature, Taiqing hesitated.
In the ordinary flow of Primordial Origin time, he wouldn't care about ten thousand years—after all, time in the Primordial Origin was meaningless.
But right now, it was the Journey to the West Calamity, and Heavenly Dao Hongjun held the high ground, completing his final scheme.
Taiqing, on the other hand, was about to open a new era of saints. Ten thousand years was too long; he had to race against time.
Taiqing gazed at the Primordial Shore Flower, shimmering with divine light before him, and his heart stirred.
"I wonder if the Chaos Pearl can enhance this Top-Grade Chaos Spiritual Root?"
Currently, the Chaos Pearl's enhancement limit was to return innate objects to chaos.
For a Top-Grade Chaos Spiritual Root, Taiqing had never tried it, but he thought it worth a shot.
The Chaos Pearl's enhancement had already concluded for now, so he took out all the chaos spiritual roots inside and casually planted them on the Breathing Earth Divine Island, greatly increasing the spiritual essence of Daluo Heaven once more, even condensing spiritual energy into clouds.
Taiqing paid little attention to this and directly cast the Primordial Shore Flower into the Chaos Pearl.
Instantly, the Primordial Chaos Origin within both resonated, and a gleam lit up Taiqing's eyes.
He noticed that while the Primordial Shore Flower's grade hadn't improved, its growth rate had significantly accelerated.
His mind stirred slightly, and he grasped the reason—the Thousandfold Time Law covering the Chaos Pearl had taken effect, reducing the growth cycle of the Primordial Shore Flower to ten years.
At the same time, thanks to the continuous supply of Primordial Chaos Origin provided by the Chaos Pearl, the Shore Flower matured faster without depleting its source. This discovery pleased Taiqing greatly.
"This combination is practically heaven-defying," Taiqing couldn't help but marvel.
The union of the Chaos Pearl and the Primordial Shore Flower meant that Taiqing could obtain a strand of Primordial Purple Qi every ten years, inexhaustible and limitless.
Such an ability was terrifying to the extreme—even the Heavenly Dao would be shaken by it.
The Shore Flower thrived within the Chaos Pearl, lifting Taiqing's spirits, and he began to tally the other rewards.
These included the top-grade primordial treasures: the Twelfth-Grade World-Cleansing White Lotus and the Twelfth-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus.
These were among the Five Primordial Lotus Thrones.
Back when heaven and earth first split and the Chaos Green Lotus shattered, five unripe seeds transformed into the five twelve-grade lotus thrones: the Merit Golden Lotus, the Karma Fire Red Lotus, the World-Destroying Black Lotus, the World-Cleansing White Lotus, and the Reincarnation Purple Lotus. Among them, the World-Cleansing White Lotus and the Reincarnation Purple Lotus were the most mysterious.
The Chaos Green Lotus also had one ripe seed, the Xiantian Supreme Treasure Twenty-Fourth-Grade Creation Green Lotus. But since its appearance was not accepted by the Heavenly Dao, it split into several top-grade primordial treasures. Among them, the Red Flower, Green Leaf, White Lotus Root became the Three Pure Ones' enlightenment treasures—the Three Treasures Jade Scepter, the Azure Purity Sword, and the Taiyi Whisk—which is precisely the origin of the Unity of Three Teachings.
Now, two primordial lotus thrones belonged to Taiqing, and he was satisfied with this.
Next, Taiqing obtained one-third of the Millstone of World Extinction fragments, which delighted him greatly.
He had already possessed a broken Millstone of World Extinction, and with this one-third supplement, he needed only another third to assemble the complete Millstone of World Extinction—a Chaos Supreme Treasure of the extreme Dao of Destruction. Once unleashed, it represented true annihilation and violence.
After Taiqing fused and refined these two incomplete Millstone of World Extinction fragments, a terrifying force of destruction erupted, murderous and fierce, capable of easily annihilating the void. "Even incomplete, the power of this Millstone of World Extinction far surpasses that of a Xiantian Supreme Treasure."
To classify it, it would need the might of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure!
Taiqing nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand lightly to smooth over the traces of destruction left by the Millstone of World Extinction, and stored it away.
Then his gaze turned to the Auspicious Golden Blade.
The Auspicious Golden Blade! A Heavenly Dao-level divine treasure! It could sever Heavenly Dao-level karma and fortune without damage, leaving no aftereffects!
Taiqing's face lit up with joy at the sight of it.
Such a treasure was truly rare!
Taiqing intended to unite the Three Teachings and establish the Daoist Sect.
Clearly, the Three Pure Ones would eventually leave the Mystic Gate.
Since they were to leave the Mystic Gate, they naturally had to sever the karma binding them to it.
In the most extreme case, even the Sagehood of the Heavenly Dao could be abandoned.
But Taiqing didn't need to do that.
Because he had already bound himself to the Primordial Origin, controlling its authority, with an extremely high karmic position.
Especially since he had already grasped the power of the intermediate Source Authority!
His influence over the Heavenly Dao had grown even deeper!
In the past, he might only have affected the Purple Cloud Palace, but now he could directly act upon the Heavenly Dao void.
This meant that no matter whether it was the karma of the Mystic Gate or the Heavenly Dao, it would be hard for them to threaten him.
But Yuanshi and Tongtian were different.
Whether they chose to leave the Mystic Gate or abandon their Sagehood, the backlash from such karma was something they couldn't bear.
However, with the Auspicious Golden Blade, these problems were easily solved!
"Truly a fine item."
Taiqing nodded with a smile.
He stored the Auspicious Golden Blade in his Violet Palace.
This item might soon come in handy.
After all, when Tongtian stepped out of the Purple Cloud Palace, variables would arise, and anything was possible.
Taiqing turned his gaze to the other rewards.
The Limitless Dao Origin Pill was a Great Dao Divine Item that could help a Primordial Saint break through to the Limitless Dao Realm.
Taiqing's Great Dao had long surpassed the Primordial level; he only needed one opportunity to prove the Limitless Dao.
If he refined this pill, proving the Limitless Dao would naturally follow.
Yet Taiqing did not act hastily.
The Three Thousand Great Daos Source Seed was what he focused on more.
It contained the core essence of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws, allowing simultaneous comprehension all the way to the transcendence realm.
Such an opportunity was heaven-defying!
After all, comprehending the Great Dao Laws was no easy feat. Since the dawn of the Primordial Era, countless great beings could only master one.
Being able to control two was a rare blessing.
But Taiqing could wield all Three Thousand Great Daos simultaneously, ultimately reaching beyond perfection.
Even before the opening of heaven and earth, no being had ever accomplished this.
A sage's cultivation is the pursuit of the Dao. If Taiqing could master the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws before reaching Primal Unity Limitless, what immense aid would that bring?
With this in mind, Taiqing was filled with anticipation.
Without hesitation, he activated Thousandfold Time Acceleration.
Then, he directly refined the source seeds of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws.
Instantly, the Eight Sceneries Palace was suffused with the profound light of the Great Dao.
Infinite creation, the flow of life and vitality.
Before long.
Taiqing concluded his cultivation.
The source seeds of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws had been completely refined.
Taiqing had reached the level of mastery over the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws.
His entire being radiated an indescribably mysterious aura, the essence of the Great Dao surging within him.
An ineffable profundity.
Taiqing slowly opened his eyes, filled with emotion.
He sensed that if he were to attain Primal Unity Limitless at this moment, he would surely break through to another realm.
Moreover, he could wield the power of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws, his combat strength far surpassing those of the same rank.
With this, Taiqing was deeply satisfied.
He turned his gaze to the final reward.
A Heavenly Dao-level technique—the Heaven-Slaying Myriad Swords Art!
It could unleash ultimate offensive power.
When pushed to its peak, it could rival the power of the Heavenly Dao.
A gleam of light flashed in Taiqing's eyes.
This technique was exceedingly formidable.
Tongtian was especially suited for the Heaven-Slaying Myriad Swords Art—it might as well have been tailor-made for him.
Of course, Taiqing could also bring this technique to its full potential.
But he possessed even greater Great Dao Divine Powers.
Thus, there was no need for concern.
"This technique can be passed on to Tongtian."
Taiqing nodded slightly.
Then, using the Celestial Compass, he observed the Purple Cloud Palace.
At this moment, Heavenly Dao Hongjun was absent, clearly having gone to refine the Heavenly Dao Authority.
Before leaving, Hongjun had strengthened the Heavenly Dao Prohibition around the Purple Cloud Palace.
Right now, Tongtian was struggling with all his might against the suppression of the Heavenly Dao Power!
Taiqing did not hand the Heaven-Slaying Myriad Swords Art to Tongtian.
The time was not yet right!
Besides, Tongtian did not possess the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, making it difficult for him to unleash the true power of the Heaven-Slaying Myriad Swords Art.
Just then!
Boom! The entire Primordial Wilderness trembled as a cataclysmic roar erupted between heaven and earth!
The Primordial Wilderness was thrown into violent upheaval by this sudden change!
The Primordial Wilderness!
The Thirty-Third Heaven!
The battle between the Heavenly Court and Immortal Qin had reignited!
The sudden evolution of the Primordial Wilderness benefited all living beings.
It also revitalized the beleaguered Heavenly Court.
More importantly!
The evolution of the Primordial Wilderness drove the ascension of the Heavenly Dao.
Seizing this opportunity, Heavenly Emperor Haotian, who held a portion of the Heavenly Dao Authority, managed to break through.
This filled Haotian, who had previously been defeated by Ying Zheng, with exhilaration.
Now, he gathered the Auspicious Golden Dragon of Fortune of the Heavenly Court and unleashed the full might of the Heavenly Emperor!
"Ying Zheng, your life is mine!"
Haotian roared wildly!
He would use the supreme authority of the Heavenly Emperor!
To crush Ying Zheng head-on!
Only thus could he wash away his disgrace!
The Heavenly Emperor's authority surged, shaking the Primordial Wilderness!
The Auspicious Golden Dragon of the Heavenly Court roared forth!
An unparalleled might swept across heaven and earth!
But Ying Zheng snorted coldly, utterly fearless.
The Grand Void God Sealing Art activated, and the Kongtong Seal manifested.
The Auspicious Golden Dragon of Human Fortune blazed with the Human Path Spark.
Its roar shook the heavens.
Ultimate power erupted.
Piercing straight into the nine heavens.
"Today, no one can stop Immortal Qin from destroying the Heavenly Court!"
Boom!
This was not a duel between Haotian and Ying Zheng.
It was a clash between the fortune of the Heavenly Court and the fortune of humanity.
A terrifying shockwave swept across heaven and earth.
The entire Primordial Wilderness trembled.
Countless mighty beings witnessed this scene.
All were stunned.
Heavenly Emperor versus Human Emperor.
Heavenly Court versus humanity.
Who would win, who would lose?
