This Supreme Will Did Not Hesitate

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

Around him flowed the river of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws, their profound meanings spreading through the air.

Behind him emerged the majestic Infinite Divine Wheel, Dao patterns gleaming in golden light.

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

At this moment, Taiqing had already reached the Limitless Dao Realm, yet his breakthrough did not stop.

The Infinite Dao Essence continued to rise at its limit, without the slightest pause.

The river of Three Thousand Great Dao Laws shimmered with starlight, illuminating the Primordial Origin void.

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

Above the Heavens, Law Meridians were directly traced.

Three thousand was merely an approximate number, in truth representing infinite Dao Laws.

For all beings, this was an unimaginable gift of fate.

In the Primordial World.

Gradually, many great powers sensed this anomaly.

All were overjoyed beyond measure.

Instantly, every mighty figure in the Primordial World trembled with excitement.

They scrambled to seize the Law Meridians.

In the Blood Sea.

Endless Sha Qi filled the air.

Styx, holding the Yuantu and Abi Swords, stepped onto the Twelve-petal Karma Fire Red Lotus and soared into the sky.

Without hesitation, he claimed several Law Meridians.

In the Northern Abyss.

Kunpeng revealed his enormous true form.

The Hetu Luoshu emerged.

He took all the Law Meridians in the Northern Abyss region for himself.

"Anyone who blocks me dies without mercy!"

Within Grand Simplicity Heaven.

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

His eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

That traitor!

Lu Ya also understood the preciousness of the Law Meridians.

He could not afford to miss this opportunity.

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

And rushed to the Primordial World to seek his fortune.

In an instant.

Countless beams of light shot from the Primordial World toward the Heavens.

Many great powers appeared, vying for the chance to seize the Law Meridians.

Above the Heavenly Court.

Haotian saw this scene and was furious.

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

Yet these meridians were being taken by others, which enraged Haotian greatly.

He knew well that these Law Meridians contained immense fortune-making power, crucial for the currently weakened Heavenly Court.

But even so, Haotian dared not act rashly, for above the Heavenly Court, in the Nine Heavens, the Saints were locked in a standoff.

Though the Saints were surprised by the changes in the Primordial World, none of them tried to seize the Law Meridians.

These laws had negligible effect on Saints, so they held no value for contention.

However, they might be somewhat useful for their lineages—yet the Three Teachings were all waiting for Taiqing, and no one left.

Receiver and Cundi wanted to seize them, but with Yuanshi and Tongtian present, the Buddhist Sect dared not act recklessly, and the Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court could only tremble in fear.

At that moment, in the void of the Primordial Origin, Taiqing slowly opened his eyes.

His pupils revealed the profound Infinite Dao Essence, the divine light of the Three Thousand Great Daos alternating in flashes.

If any Primordial Saint dared to look directly at Taiqing at this moment, their own Dao would likely be assimilated in an instant.

This is the Limitless Dao Realm, which surpasses sainthood.

The Grand Pure One's eyes flickered slightly.

With a single thought, he withdrew all his power into formlessness.

His aura settled into simplicity and naturalness, returning to the unadorned truth.

The Grand Pure One spoke calmly: "System, open the panel."

Ding! Panel opened!

Host: Grand Pure One Laozi

Origin: 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%)

Bound World: Great Primordial World

Current Auspicious Fortune Value: 49% (Note: Reaching 100% will upgrade to Intermediate Taiji World)

Looking at the system interface, a glimmer of light flashed in the Grand Pure One's eyes, and delight spread across his face.

It wasn't because he had broken through to the Second Heaven of the Dao Realm.

In truth, the Grand Pure One had long possessed the ability to realize the Limitless Dao, but had deliberately suppressed it until now.

With the opportunity now ripe, breaking through to the Second Heaven was only to be expected.

What truly pleased him was the enhancement of his Source Authority!

The Intermediate Source Authority had grown stronger once more.

Now, he could use his will to enter the Heavenly Dao Space and manipulate those beings whose authority was lower than his own.

The Grand Pure One immediately sensed this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

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

Feeling the dense aura of the Heavenly Dao Origin here, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

It was said that if a Sage fell, they would be resurrected in the Heavenly Dao Void.

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

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

The Grand Pure One had no intention of seeking out the Will of the Heavenly Dao.

Though he had reached the Limitless Dao Realm, the Heavenly Dao far surpassed the Limitless, and exposing himself to the Will of the Heavenly Dao carried risks.

Especially since he was bound to the Primordial Origin; if the Heavenly Dao detected this, the consequences would be unpredictable.

If the Heavenly Dao noticed, Hongjun might also discover it, which would be extremely disadvantageous for the Grand Pure One.

For now, the Grand Pure One's will was shielded by the Primordial Origin and further concealed by the Chaos Pearl, placing him in a relatively safe state. Still, he was unwilling to take risks.

He had yet to fully understand how to reverse the Heavenly Dao.

The Grand Pure One's purpose in coming to the Heavenly Dao Void was for the Three Pure Ones' Sage's Dao Fruits.

Back when the six Sages attained sainthood, each had used the Primordial Purple Qi to entrust their true spirits to the Heavenly Dao Void, merging them into the Sage's Dao Fruits.

Given Hongjun's nature, he was likely to tamper with the Three Pure Ones' Dao Fruits.

Even if the Heavenly Dao forbade Hongjun from destroying these Dao Fruits, he might still scheme in secret—a major hidden threat.

The Grand Pure One decided to resolve this issue.

In the Heavenly Dao Void, he quickly located the three Sage's Dao Fruits, within which three spirits sat cross-legged with closed eyes.

A faint smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he activated his Source Authority and reversed the Sage's Dao Fruits.

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

But this was not a true disappearance; they had been transferred to a deeper dimension for protection.

The Three Pure Ones' Dao Fruits still existed within the Heavenly Dao Void, and to the Heavenly Dao itself, nothing had changed, so it paid no heed.

However, Hongjun could no longer reach the Three Pure Ones' Dao Fruits, unless he could fully control the Heavenly Dao and reverse them.

But the Grand Pure One knew that even if Hongjun's merging with the Dao had reached its peak, it was merely the limit granted by the Heavenly Dao—he had never truly controlled it.

Now, with the Grand Pure One's existence, Hongjun would likely never be able to control the Heavenly Dao, and thus would no longer pose a real threat to the Three Pure Ones' Dao Fruits.

Having accomplished all this, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of the Grand Pure One's mouth, and his gaze turned to the Dao Fruits of Receiver, Cundi, and Nüwa.

The Grand Pure One could have tampered with the Dao Fruits of Receiver and Cundi, but he disdained to do so.

In his eyes, Receiver and Cundi were nothing but useless men.

As for Nüwa's Dao Fruit, he did not touch it, for Hongjun still did not know Nüwa's stance. If her Dao Fruit vanished alongside the Three Pure Ones', it might backfire.

In Taiqing's view, the Daoist Sect had yet to be established, and open confrontation with Hongjun was not yet advisable.

A hidden piece as crucial as Nüwa naturally had to keep her identity concealed.

Moreover, Taiqing planned for Nüwa to shed her status as a Heavenly Dao Sage in the future, as she was better suited to become a Human Dao Sage.

Just as Houtu should be an Earth Dao Sage, Taiqing even intended to nurture Nüwa into a key representative of this domain after founding the Human Dao.

Taiqing was destined to control the Three Ways of the Primordial World and achieve the Supreme Dao.

Entrusting the Human Dao to Nüwa was most fitting, so there was no need to interfere with her Sage's Dao Fruit.

All matters were arranged.

Taiqing then vanished from the Heavenly Dao Void.

He had to return to the Primordial World and conclude everything.

The moment Taiqing departed completely.

In the Heavenly Dao Void.

Heavenly secrets suddenly congealed.

A supreme, vast will swept across the entire Heavenly Dao Void.

After a brief pause.

This Supreme Will, without hesitation.

Pressed toward the Primordial World!

This was—

The Will of the Heavenly Dao!

Taiqing had just reappeared in the Primordial World.

Before he could react.

The entire Primordial World ground to a halt in an instant.

The order of time and space itself froze.

The supreme Will of the Heavenly Dao descended.

In a flash.

It swept across the whole Primordial World.

At that moment.

The beings of the Primordial World froze in terror.

They felt an irresistible pressure and dread.

Their thoughts went blank.

Even the Sages found their minds sluggish and their Dao hearts shaken.

Throughout the entire Primordial World.

Only Taiqing and Hongjun kept their Dao hearts steady.

Yet Taiqing's thoughts stirred slightly.

The sudden descent of the Will of the Heavenly Dao—could it have sensed his entry into the Heavenly Dao Void?

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

Had Hongjun summoned it?

Meanwhile, in the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun was equally bewildered.

Heavenly secrets being chaotic was one thing, but why had the Heavenly Dao itself descended?

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

Before he could observe further, the next instant—

The Will of the Heavenly Dao swept across the Primordial World several times, then quietly withdrew into the Heavenly Dao Void.

The Primordial World returned to normal, its beings feeling as if reborn, yet all were filled with confusion.

What had just happened?

Even the Sages exchanged bewildered glances.

What was the purpose of the Will of the Heavenly Dao's descent?

Only Taiqing had some inkling.

The Heavenly Dao might have detected the anomaly in the Heavenly Dao Void, but it could not pinpoint him.

After all, with the Primordial Origin and the Chaos Pearl combined, even the Heavenly Dao was helpless.

Taiqing sighed inwardly—the Heavenly Dao was truly unfathomable.

He silently resolved to be even more cautious in his future actions, never revealing his uniqueness.

Within the Purple Cloud Palace.

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

Hongjun immediately headed to the Heavenly Dao Void.

At this moment, he had no time to spare for matters concerning Grand Pure One Laozi.

Even if The Grand Pure One had already attained the Wuji Realm, what of it?

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

Thus, Hongjun could control the Three Pure Ones at any time!

His earlier attempt to kill The Grand Pure One was merely to uphold the Dao Ancestor's authority.

Now, the anomaly in the Will of the Heavenly Dao was far more important than the affair of The Grand Pure One!

Hongjun stepped deep into 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 seemed to be waiting for something.

This left Hongjun rather embarrassed.

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

This excited the Heavenly Dao immensely.

Originally, the Heavenly Dao could not have noticed the aura of Primordial Origin at all.

But the evolution of the Primordial World had driven the Heavenly Dao itself to evolve.

And the evolution of the Primordial World stemmed from the enhancement of Primordial Origin, so the Heavenly Dao was highly sensitive to it.

The Heavenly Dao yearned to find this wisp of Primordial Origin.

After all, Primordial Origin was far superior to the Heavenly Dao Origin!

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

Yet the Heavenly Dao searched the entire Primordial World and found no clue.

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

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

Since it had come once, it might come again.

When that time came, it must seize the opportunity!

Staying close to Primordial Origin might allow the Heavenly Dao to evolve—this was undoubtedly a good thing.

But at this very moment, within the Primordial World, Grand Pure One Laozi, the one who had triggered all this, suddenly realized something: the scene where the Will of the Heavenly Dao had halted the entire Primordial World—even an existence like him could not reverse it. This proved that the Heavenly Dao was above the Wuji Realm, and beyond the Wuji Realm lay the Heavenly Dao Realm, the true level that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, The Grand Pure One decided that when facing the Heavenly Dao, he must be extremely cautious. Before his strength had fully grown, he must never let the Will of the Heavenly Dao detect his connection to Primordial Origin, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
