The Dao Venerable Who Lost Face Before Heavenly Dao

In the Primordial Wilderness, time went unrecorded. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years had passed.

By then, Taichu had long finished refining the Star Beads and had assisted Gouchen and the others in refining a set of Grand Array cores.

The Star Token, with Gouchen as its master, governed all Innate Star Gods who had consumed Star Fruit.

After consuming many of Taichu's Chaos Spirit Materials, it was finally refined into an Innate Supreme Treasure.

It could mobilize the Primordial Star Array. Whoever held the token could gather the Grand Array's power upon themself and temporarily possess the strength of a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

However, because a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal was of great significance, Taichu temporarily used his Heavenly Dao Brother's power to impose a restriction. It could only be used within the Primordial Starry Sky and the Edge of Chaos when the Primordial Starry Sky faced an enemy it could not handle.

Though Taichu had imposed this restriction, Doumu Yuanjun and the others were still overjoyed.

As for Ziwei, Taichu directly refined a Star Banner for him, which could likewise gather the Star Power of the Primordial Starry Sky.

It was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure containing forty-eight Innate Spiritual Restrictions. It held Stellar Law within it and was compatible with Ziwei.

It could command the Primordial Star Gods for his use.

Refining the two treasures took Taichu far more time than refining those Star Beads before. This showed that even if an Innate Supreme Treasure benefited the Primordial World, it was not so easily refined.

Once all preparations were complete, Taichu prepared to lead Gouchen and the others through the Primordial Starry Sky, arranging every Star God who had consumed Star Fruit and broken through at their respective positions according to the Grand Array.

Not every Star God's Foundation had broken through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. Quite a few Star Gods had merely stepped past the threshold before becoming Primordial Golden Immortals.

It was not because the Star Fruit Taichu had produced was flawed, but because of their own Foundations.

Very few had reached the Middle Stage Golden Immortal of the Origin.

After Taichu's final inspection, including Chang Geng, there were exactly one hundred and eight Innate Star Gods who were Primordial Golden Immortals.

Taichu and the others placed them in the important positions.

The remaining Star Gods were assigned to somewhat less important positions. When the rest learned that this was a matter of great Merit and that it could defend against Fierce Beasts from Chaos—

—they all volunteered to participate.

After hearing this, Taichu pondered for a moment before directly agreeing.

"Take your positions and prepare to activate the Grand Array."

Taichu's voice rang directly through the entire Primordial Starry Sky.

Upon hearing this, all the Star Gods made their preparations.

Then, at Taichu's command, all the Star Gods infused Star Power into the Star Beads prepared earlier.

As Star Power entered the Star Beads, all the Star Beads within the Primordial Starry Sky instantly connected and intertwined.

In an instant, the Primordial Land sensed an immense aura spreading from the Primordial Starry Sky toward the Primordial Land and into Chaos.

At the border between the Eastern and Western Lands of the Primordial Land, a silver-haired old man suddenly raised his head toward the Primordial Starry Sky.

His expression turned grave as he muttered to himself.

"Strange. Such powerful pressure—it is already nearing that of a Hunyuan Taiji Daluo Golden Immortal. What happened in the Primordial Starry Sky to make even this Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal tremble so?"

He was Great Immortal Yang Mei, who had parted ways with Taichu and Zhou Mountain. At this moment, he looked toward the Primordial Starry Sky in hesitation.

"Should this old Daoist go take a look? Given this old Daoist's current strength, even if there is danger, I should be able to escape!"

Yangmei immediately flew into the air, preparing to head for the Primordial Starry Sky.

Suddenly, his body stiffened as he sensed a familiar aura.

"Damn it, what is going on? It actually made Dao Friend Taichu directly deploy a Chaos Supreme Treasure!"

As his words fell, an enormous Green Lotus that almost covered the entire Primordial Wilderness bloomed directly in the Starry Sky, suspended above the Primordial Land.

At that moment, it was not only Great Immortal Yang Mei. In a place within the Southern Land, an enormous ancient tree towered into the heavens, sheltering several ancient trees as vast as continents.

It suddenly released invisible Primordial Spirit Power and gazed directly at the Green Lotus Platform in the sky.

"A Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Taichu Creation Lotus Platform. This thing still exists? It seems Dao Friend Taichu has already reincarnated into the Primordial Wilderness and emerged into the world. But what could have happened for Dao Friend Taichu to deploy this item?"

At the same time, Hongjun, who was in seclusion on Jade Capital Mountain, was also awakened by this disturbance. His expression was unsightly as he looked at the Green Lotus Platform hanging over the Primordial Land.

He repeatedly rubbed the Jade Plate of Creation and exerted himself to deduce the matter, yet received no feedback whatsoever.

This situation left Hongjun deeply troubled and unable to believe it.

In many places, concealed divine senses swiftly extended outward, watching the scene in the sky.

Luohou in the Demon Realm noticed it as well, but he too did not understand why Taichu had used this great killing weapon.

Meanwhile, within the Primordial Starry Sky, Taichu was fully circulating Hun Yuan Power and driving the Creation Lotus Platform to suppress the impact of Chaos Qi from Chaos.

"Who would have thought that, in order to improve the Grand Array's effectiveness, I raised the Star Gods' strength, only to outsmart myself and create this deadlock!"

When Taichu formally activated the Grand Array, it could absorb Chaos Qi from the Edge of Chaos and store it within the array. Then, as the array operated, it would transform it into pure Innate Spiritual Qi and Heaven and Earth Origin, dispersing them throughout the Primordial World.

When the Grand Array began operating and absorbing Chaos Qi, Taichu had initially been delighted.

That was because it proved his idea was viable. The Grand Array indeed integrated absorption, transformation, defense, and attack.

However, as it absorbed Chaos Qi, the power emitted by the Grand Array grew stronger and stronger. It directly triggered a small Chaos Storm at the Edge of Chaos.

When Taichu first discovered it, he was dumbfounded. Only after making some deductions did he understand where the problem lay.

Because the people setting up the Grand Array's core were too powerful, the amount of Chaos Qi absorbed was too immense, and a Chaos Storm had been triggered in Chaos.

Naturally, Taichu could not ignore this. Although the Primordial Wilderness would not be destroyed by such a small Chaos Storm, it would still suffer severe damage.

Thus, Taichu handed control of the Grand Array to Chang Geng, Gouchen, and the others. He freed his hands and directly used the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Creation Lotus Platform, to resist the Chaos Storm he had accidentally caused.

That was why the Primordial Wilderness sensed that powerful pressure and saw the Creation Lotus Platform suspended above its skies.

As Taichu fully activated the Creation Lotus Platform, thunder exploded in the Void and the Power of Heavenly Dao filled the air.

Upon noticing this, Taichu's expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Little brother, you came!"

Taichu could not ignore it. Knowing he was at fault, he could only communicate with Heavenly Dao in the best tone he could manage.

To Taichu's surprise, he actually heard a childish voice.

"Disaster. Resist!"

Taichu's expression changed slightly at once. He immediately understood what his Heavenly Dao Brother meant.

It meant that he had caused this problem himself, so he could only solve it himself!

In an instant, Taichu felt all his dignity as an elder brother vanish, and his face was utterly lost.
