Myriad Manifestations Dao Suppressing Stele

Having survived the calamity, Qing Xuan bid farewell to Nuwa and returned to his residence.

As time passed, the arrival of the calamity between the Witches and Demons drew ever closer.

Already caught in the midst of the great tribulation, Qing Xuan prepared to use this final period of peace to hone the strength that had surged due to his recent fortunate encounters.

Only with formidable strength could Qing Xuan ensure he held the initiative in his subsequent plans.

After all, Qing Xuan's ambitions extended beyond the Witch-Demon calamity; his ultimate goal was the Human Dao and the Earthly Dao.

This was undoubtedly stirring up trouble right under the noses of the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, and the risks were immense.

However, for the sake of Nuwa and Houtu, and for his own future as a carefree slacker, these were risks that had to be taken.

Qing Xuan sat cross-legged on his cloud bed, adjusting his state.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique had reached the peak of its fifth revolution and was on the verge of breaking through to the sixth.

He had also comprehended thirty-five percent of the Law of Strength inherited from Pangu's phantom. This thirty-five percent should not be underestimated, as it already marked the minor accomplishment of a law.

His innate Law of Wood and the Law of Suppression had been comprehended to forty-five percent and fifty percent respectively.

Thanks to his comprehension of the Law of Strength, both his Law of Wood and Law of Suppression were continuously advancing.

Aside from his cultivation and comprehension of laws, Qing Xuan also possessed a pile of magical treasures.

His frequently used Jianmu Divine Spear was transformed from his own Jianmu Tree body, requiring no refinement.

The Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler, as an Innate Merit Supreme Treasure, allowed him to kill without incurring karma. It contained forty-nine restrictions, and Qing Xuan, having only recently obtained it, had currently refined twenty of them.

In addition, there was a magical treasure that was crucial to Qing Xuan's future plans: the Companion Supreme Treasure rewarded to him by the System.

The Myriad Manifestations Dao Suppressing Stele!

Currently an Innate Supreme Treasure, it possessed a bug-like ability: it could devour Dao principles to grow.

According to the System's introduction, the Myriad Manifestations Dao Suppressing Stele was a treasure formed over countless years from the condensation of primordial chaos energy combined with the Great Dao of Suppression, at the time before the primordial chaos was judged and the universe began.

Its physical form was a dark, mysterious ancient stele, its surface inscribed with myriad Dao patterns from the universe's nascent moments. These Dao patterns contained the fundamental power of the laws of heaven and earth, and were even the embodiment of the supreme Law of Suppression.

Legend had it that this stele once stabilized the chaotic currents, separated the clear and turbid energies, and was one of the cornerstones maintaining the balance of the heavens.

Its functions were not as diverse as other Supreme Treasures; it possessed only one ability: suppression, the ultimate power of suppression.

When activated, it could suppress all things in heaven and earth.

Whether it be mountains, rivers, stars, sun, moon, or even gods, demons, spirits, immortals, primordial spirits, souls, or even chaotic temporal currents and karma, destiny, all would be solidified like amber beneath the stele.

Those suppressed would completely lose all ability to act or resist, their very thoughts entering an eternal stasis.

This treasure could even directly interfere with the laws of heaven and earth, and even temporarily replace the Heavenly Dao in governing the rules.

Of course, with Qing Xuan's current strength, he naturally could not replace the Heavenly Dao in governing the rules; he couldn't even suppress the Heavenly Dao.

Once he broke through to Primordial Golden Immortal, he would be able to slightly control a trace of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Suppressing Stele's power, influencing the Heavenly Dao for a fleeting moment.

Qing Xuan's goal was not to suppress the Heavenly Dao, but to seize this momentary opportunity.

Originally, Qing Xuan's confidence was not so high. Even if the Heavenly Dao was influenced for a moment, he wouldn't dare guarantee that his plans would succeed one hundred percent. However, he had obtained the Chaos Bead from the Witch Race's treasury.

With the help of the Chaos Bead, his chances of successfully getting Nuwa to awaken the Human Dao had greatly increased.

After adjusting his state and clarifying his thoughts, Qing Xuan began his seclusion.

The Primordial Spirit Gathering Array rewarded by the System was deployed, and endless spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged in.

Soon, it enveloped Qing Xuan's palace.

Qing Xuan's eyes were tightly closed, his Grand Unity Three Flowers manifesting, displaying endless auspicious signs.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique began to circulate within his body, continuously impacting higher realms.

While Qing Xuan was in seclusion, changes were also occurring across the Great Desolation.

The Ten Thousand Year Green Cypress, following Qing Xuan's instructions, communicated with other groups formed by spirits of plants and trees.

The other plant and tree spirits had long suffered under the oppression of the Demon Race and Zizhou Prefecture. Upon hearing of the Ten Thousand Year Green Cypress's message, they immediately began migrating towards this area.

Especially upon learning that Qing Xuan was transformed from the Supreme Innate Spiritual Root Tongtian Jianmu, and was a disciple of the future Sage, Empress Nuwa, they were even more reassured.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches strictly adhered to Qing Xuan's instructions. Houtu was in seclusion cultivating in Pangu Hall, while the other eleven Ancestral Witches managed their tribes and actively prepared for battle.

The number of Witches active on the Great Desolation gradually decreased.

With the Witch Race falling silent, the conflict between the Demon Race and Zizhou Prefecture would inevitably intensify.

Dong Wang Gong had been in seclusion cultivating for the past hundred thousand years. Not only had he recovered from his injuries, but he had also further advanced by severing his Evil Corpse, becoming a mid-stage Quasi-Sage who had severed two corpses.

Zizhou Prefecture's injuries sustained in the previous battle with the Demon Race were gradually recovering.

Having learned from the previous lesson, Dong Wang Gong became smarter. Di Jun and Tai Yi were brothers, and Dong Wang Gong felt he also needed to find an ally.

Thus, Dong Wang Gong set his sights on Queen Mother of the West, who was also enfeoffed by Hongjun as the leader of female immortals.

Queen Mother of the West was a wise individual who could discern the situation in the Great Desolation.

After being enfeoffed as the leader of female immortals by Hongjun, she did not establish a faction and prepare to unify the Great Desolation like Dong Wang Gong. She only gathered female immortals who pledged allegiance to her in her Dao Field, West Kunlun, the Jade Pool Immortal Realm.

As for the renowned female immortals such as Nuwa, Houtu, Changxi, Xihe... Queen Mother of the West did not disturb them, and both sides tacitly maintained a state of peaceful coexistence.

Unfortunately, even though Queen Mother of the West stayed indoors, trouble still found its way to her doorstep.

One day, Dong Wang Gong, along with the cultivators of his Zizhou Prefecture, arrived at West Kunlun in a grand procession.

Jade Pool Immortal Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, I am Dong Wang Gong. I humbly request you to appear and meet me. I have important matters to discuss."

Dong Wang Gong stood before the Jade Pool Immortal Realm, his cultivation of a mid-stage Quasi-Sage released without reservation, causing the spiritual beasts in West Kunlun to scatter and flee.

Queen Mother of the West sighed; what was bound to come had finally arrived.

As the Jade Pool Immortal Realm slowly opened, Queen Mother of the West emerged with a group of female immortals.

Queen Mother of the West's appearance was dignified and unparalleled, flawless, as if she had gathered all the spiritual essence and majesty of heaven and earth.

Her skin was like jade, warm yet emanating a chilling aura.

On her forehead was a Dao mark of an Innate Divine Being, faintly flowing with the power of laws.

She wore a Dao robe of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, embroidered with a depiction of the mountains and rivers of the Great Desolation, with a hundred beasts paying homage to a phoenix (or qilin), and countless intricate, ancient Chaos runes.

As her sash fluttered, it seemed as if a galaxy was encircling her, with the stars of the heavens revolving within.

She was surrounded by the supreme, wondrous energy of Innate Xi Hua, emitting a pure Dao sound that cleansed all evil, easily neutralizing Dong Wang Gong's mid-stage Quasi-Sage aura.

"Emperor Donghua, why are you not cultivating in your Zizhou Prefecture? What brings you to my Jade Pool?"

Queen Mother of the West's voice was graceful and majestic, exuding an ineffable nobility.

A trace of infatuation flashed in Dong Wang Gong's eyes. He was the manifestation of Innate Supreme Yang energy, while Queen Mother of the West was the manifestation of Innate Supreme Yin energy. They were a match made in heaven.

Originally, he had only intended to join forces with Queen Mother of the West to resist the Demon Race.

Now, Dong Wang Gong's intentions had changed.
