In the boundless void, Taiqing sat cross-legged like the Dao, his eyes tightly closed.

Around him flowed a river of Three Thousand Great Dao Laws, while the mysteries of the Three Thousand Great Daos permeated the surroundings.

Behind him emerged a magnificent Infinite Divine Wheel, its Great Dao patterns appearing amid golden light.

As the divine wheel turned, the aura of the Primal Unity Limitless Great Dao filled the entire Primordial Origin Void.

At this moment, Taiqing had reached the Primal Unity Limitless Dao Realm, yet his breakthrough had not stopped.

His Infinite Dao Essence continued rising to its limit without the slightest pause.

The river of Three Thousand Great Dao Laws glittered like starlight, illuminating the Primordial Origin Void.

Because of this, the Primordial Origin also gained the power of the Three Thousand Laws.

Above the Heavens, Law Meridians were directly outlined.

Three thousand was merely an approximate number; in truth, it represented infinitely many Great Dao Laws.

To all living beings, this was an unimaginable heaven-sent opportunity.

Within the Primordial World.

Gradually, numerous mighty experts noticed this phenomenon.

Every one of them was ecstatic.

At once, all Primordial Wilderness powerhouses became wildly excited.

They all moved to seize the Law Meridians.

Within the Blood Sea.

It was filled with endless baleful aura.

Styx rose into the air, holding the Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword, while standing atop the Twelve-petal Karma Fire Red Lotus.

Without hesitation, he occupied several Law Meridians.

In the Northern Abyss.

Kunpeng revealed his enormous true form.

The Hetu Luoshu appeared.

He claimed all the Law Meridians throughout the Northern Abyss region for himself.

"Those who stand in my way shall be killed without mercy!"

Within Grand Simplicity Heaven.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince Lu Ya saw Kunpeng summon the Hetu Luoshu.

His eyes instantly reddened with blood.

That traitor!

Lu Ya also knew how precious the Law Meridians were.

He absolutely could not miss this opportunity.

Lu Ya immediately manifested his Good Corpse, Zen Master Wuchao.

He rushed into the Primordial Wilderness to seek opportunities.

In an instant.

Countless streaks of light flew toward the Heavens throughout the Primordial Wilderness.

Many mighty experts appeared, competing for the opportunity of the Law Meridians.

Above the Heavenly Court.

Haotian was furious upon seeing this.

In Haotian's eyes, the Law Meridians of the Primordial World clearly belonged under the Heavenly Court's control.

Yet these Law Meridians had been occupied by others, greatly enraging Haotian.

He knew that these Law Meridians contained immense power of creation and were crucial to the currently weakened Heavenly Court.

Even so, Haotian did not dare act rashly, for above the Nine Heavens over the Heavenly Court, the Saints were confronting one another.

Although the Saints were surprised by the changes in the Primordial Wilderness, none tried to seize the Law Meridians.

These laws had negligible effects on Saints, so they were not worth fighting over.

Still, they might offer some benefit to one's orthodoxy, but the Three Teachings were all waiting for Taiqing, and no one left.

Although Receiver and Cundi wished to seize them, with Yuanshi and Tongtian present, the Buddhist Sect did not dare act recklessly. The Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court could only tremble in fear.

At this moment, within the void of the Primordial Origin, Taiqing slowly opened his eyes.

Deep Infinite Great Dao essence shone in his eyes, while divine light from the Three Thousand Great Daos flickered in alternation.

If any Primordial Saint dared stare directly at Taiqing in his current state, their own Great Dao would likely be assimilated in an instant.

This was the Limitless Dao Realm, beyond Saints.

Taiqing's gaze flickered slightly.

With a thought, he withdrew all his power until it became formless.

His aura became simple and natural, returning to its original state.

Taiqing said calmly, "System, open the panel."

Ding! The panel has been opened!

Host: Taiqing Laozi Foundation: Top-tier Chaos Demon God Dao Realm: Primal Unity Limitless, Second Heaven Talent: Primordial Chaos Creation Dao Chapter (Great Dao Level) Source Authority: Intermediate (30%) Treasures: Chaos Pearl, Millstone of World Extinction (Incomplete), Primordial Other Shore Flower, Taiji Diagram, Auspicious Golden Blade... Bound World: Great Primordial World World Level: Initial Taiji World Current Fortune Value: 49% (Note: It will advance to an Intermediate Taiji World upon reaching 100%)

Looking at the system interface, a glimmer of light flashed through Taiqing's eyes, and joy appeared on his face.

It was not because he had broken through to the Second Heaven of the Dao Realm.

In truth, Taiqing had long possessed the ability to attain the Wuji Great Dao; he had merely deliberately suppressed himself until now.

Now that the opportunity had matured, breaking through to the Second Heaven was only expected.

What truly delighted him was the improvement in his Source Authority!

The Intermediate Source Authority had strengthened once more!

He could now enter the Heavenly Dao Space through his will and control those whose authority was lower than his.

Taiqing immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Without hesitation, he descended into the Heavenly Dao Space with his will.

Sensing the dense aura of Heavenly Dao Origin here, he could not help but sigh.

It was said that if a Saint fell, they would revive within the Heavenly Dao Void.

However, after revival, a Heavenly Dao Sage could only move within a fixed region and could not perceive the full scope of the Heavenly Dao Void.

Only Hongjun could freely enter and leave the true Heavenly Dao Void, even communicating with the Will of the Heavenly Dao in its deepest reaches.

Taiqing had no intention of seeking the Will of the Heavenly Dao.

Though he had reached the Wuji Dao Realm, the Heavenly Dao far surpassed Wuji. Exposing himself before the Will of the Heavenly Dao carried risks.

Especially since he had bound the Primordial Origin; the consequences would be unpredictable if the Heavenly Dao discovered this.

If the Heavenly Dao noticed, Hongjun might discover it as well, which would be extremely disadvantageous to Taiqing.

Taiqing's current will was covered by the Primordial Origin and concealed by the Chaos Pearl, placing him in a relatively safe state, but he still did not wish to take risks.

He had not yet fully understood how to reverse the Heavenly Dao.

Taiqing had come to the Heavenly Dao Void for the Sage's Dao Fruits of the Three Pure Ones.

When the six Saints became Saints in the past, they had all used Primordial Purple Qi to entrust their True Spirits to the Heavenly Dao Void, merging them into their Sage's Dao Fruits.

Given Hongjun's character, he would most likely tamper with the Dao Fruits of the Three Pure Ones.

Even if the Heavenly Dao did not permit Hongjun to destroy those Dao Fruits, he could still sabotage them in secret. This was a major hidden danger.

Taiqing decided to resolve this problem.

Within the Heavenly Dao Void, he quickly found three Sage's Dao Fruits, where three spirits sat cross-legged with their eyes closed.

The corners of his lips rose as he activated his Source Authority and reversed the Sage's Dao Fruits.

In the next instant, the Dao Fruits of the Three Pure Ones vanished from the Heavenly Dao Void.

But they had not truly disappeared. They had merely been transferred to a deeper dimension for protection.

The Dao Fruits of the Three Pure Ones still existed within the Heavenly Dao Void. To the Heavenly Dao itself, nothing had changed, so it paid no attention.

However, Hongjun could no longer reach the Dao Fruits of the Three Pure Ones unless he could completely control the Heavenly Dao and reverse their Dao Fruits.

But Taiqing knew that even if Hongjun's merging with the Dao had reached its limit, that was only the limit granted to him by the Heavenly Dao. He had not truly controlled the Heavenly Dao.

Now that Taiqing existed, Hongjun would likely never be able to control the Heavenly Dao. Thus, he no longer posed a substantive threat to the Dao Fruits of the Three Pure Ones.

After finishing everything, a faint smile appeared on Taiqing's lips as his gaze turned toward the Dao Fruits of Receiver, Cundi, and Nüwa.

Taiqing could have tampered with the Dao Fruits of Receiver and Cundi, but he disdained doing so.

In his eyes, Receiver and Cundi were merely useless people.

As for Nüwa's Dao Fruit, he did not touch it. Hongjun did not yet know Nüwa's stance, and if her Dao Fruit disappeared alongside those of the Three Pure Ones, it might instead have the opposite effect.

In Taiqing's view, the Daoist Sect had not yet been established, so it was not the time to openly oppose Hongjun.

A crucial hidden piece like Nüwa naturally needed to conceal her identity.

Moreover, Taiqing planned to have Nüwa later shed her status as a Heavenly Dao Sage, because she was more suited to becoming a Human Path Sage.

Just as Houtu should become an Earth Dao Sage, Taiqing even intended, after establishing the Human Path, to cultivate Nüwa into an important representative of that domain.

Taiqing was destined to control the Three Ways of the Primordial Wilderness and achieve the supreme Great Dao.

Having Nüwa govern the Human Path was highly suitable, so there was no need to interfere with her Sage's Dao Fruit.

Everything had been arranged.

Taiqing then vanished from the Heavenly Dao Void.

It was time for him to return to the Primordial Wilderness and bring all matters to an end.

Just as Taiqing completely departed.

Within the Heavenly Dao Void.

The heavenly secrets suddenly froze.

A vast and supreme will swept through the entire Heavenly Dao Void.

After a brief pause.

This Supreme Will did not hesitate.

It advanced toward the Primordial Wilderness!

This was—

The Will of the Heavenly Dao!

Taiqing had just reappeared in the Primordial Wilderness.

Before he could react.

The entire Primordial Wilderness came to a complete standstill in an instant.

The order of time and space froze as well.

The supreme Will of the Heavenly Dao descended.

Within moments.

It swept across the entire Primordial Wilderness.

At this moment.

All Primordial World Beings froze in terror.

They felt an irresistible pressure and fear.

Their minds went completely blank.

Even the Saints' thoughts slowed, and their Dao Hearts were shaken.

Throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness.

Only Taiqing and Hongjun retained stable Dao Hearts.

But Taiqing's thoughts stirred slightly.

The Will of the Heavenly Dao had suddenly descended. Could it have noticed that he had entered the Heavenly Dao Void?

Even with the double concealment of the Primordial Origin and Chaos Pearl, the Heavenly Dao should not have found him so easily.

Could Hongjun have summoned it?

At the same time, Hongjun in the Purple Cloud Palace also wore a bewildered expression.

The heavenly secrets being chaotic was one thing, but why had the Heavenly Dao descended in person?

Soon, Hongjun noticed that the Will of the Heavenly Dao seemed to be searching for something.

Before he could examine it further, in the next instant—

After sweeping the Primordial Wilderness several times, the Will of the Heavenly Dao silently withdrew back into the Heavenly Dao Void.

The Primordial Wilderness returned to normal. All beings felt as though they had been reborn, yet their hearts were full of confusion.

What exactly had happened just now?

Even the Saints looked at one another.

Why had the Will of the Heavenly Dao descended?

Only Taiqing had some idea.

The Heavenly Dao might have discovered an anomaly in the Heavenly Dao Void, but it could not lock onto him.

After all, with the Primordial Origin and Chaos Pearl layered together, even the Heavenly Dao could do nothing.

Taiqing sighed inwardly. The Heavenly Dao was indeed unfathomable.

He secretly resolved to be even more cautious in his actions from now on and never reveal what made him unique.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace.

After the Will of the Heavenly Dao returned to its place.

Hongjun immediately headed for the Heavenly Dao Void.

At this moment, he had no time to concern himself with Taiqing.

Even if Taiqing had attained the Wuji Realm, so what?

As long as he remained a Heavenly Dao Sage, his Sage's Dao Fruit would exist within the Heavenly Dao Void.

This meant Hongjun could control the Three Pure Ones at any time!

His previous attempt to kill Taiqing had merely been to uphold the Dao Ancestor's authority.

Now, the abnormal movements of the Will of the Heavenly Dao were far more important than Taiqing's affairs!

Hongjun stepped into the depths of the Heavenly Dao Void, attempting to communicate with the Will of the Heavenly Dao.

"Heavenly Dao, what exactly has happened?"

But the Will of the Heavenly Dao did not respond.

It was as though it were waiting for something.

This left Hongjun rather awkward.

The Heavenly Dao had once sensed an extremely faint trace of Primordial Origin within the Heavenly Dao Void.

This excited the Heavenly Dao immensely.

Originally, the Heavenly Dao had been completely unable to notice the aura of Primordial Origin.

But the evolution of the Primordial Wilderness had driven the Heavenly Dao itself to evolve as well.

And because the Primordial Wilderness's evolution stemmed from the enhancement of the Primordial Origin, the Heavenly Dao was extremely sensitive to Primordial Origin.

The Heavenly Dao longed to find this trace of Primordial Origin.

One had to know that Primordial Origin was of a higher order than Heavenly Dao Origin!

If it could frequently come into contact with Primordial Origin, Heavenly Dao Origin would certainly benefit greatly.

However, the Heavenly Dao searched the entire Primordial Wilderness and found nothing.

Other than the changes in the Sage's Dao Fruits of the Three Pure Ones, there was no other news within the Heavenly Dao Void.

The Will of the Heavenly Dao could only return to the depths of the Heavenly Dao and wait for Primordial Origin to appear again.

Since it had come once, perhaps it would come again.

When that time came, it had to seize the opportunity!

By remaining beside Primordial Origin, the Heavenly Dao might be able to evolve. This was undoubtedly a good thing.

However, within the Primordial Wilderness, Taiqing Laozi, who had caused all this, suddenly realized something: even someone like him had been unable to reverse the scene where the Will of the Heavenly Dao brought the entire Primordial Wilderness to a standstill.

This showed that the Heavenly Dao stood above the Wuji Realm. Beyond the Wuji Realm was the Heavenly Dao Realm, a realm of beings truly capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, Taiqing resolved to be extremely cautious when facing the Heavenly Dao. Before his strength had fully grown, he absolutely could not let the Will of the Heavenly Dao discover his connection to Primordial Origin, or the consequences would be impossible to predict.
