The uniqueness of this world allowed people to unleash the dark sides they usually kept hidden without restraint, causing Negative Energy to grow far faster than in the real Primordial World.
However, this was also the price that had to be paid for the strength of the Virtual Primordial World.
Although the Virtual Primordial World might have flaws, it was still an indispensable part of them.
Shen Ji understood this deeply. Influenced by Tai Ming, he would prepare for unexpected changes in advance whenever matters deviated from expectations.
To prevent these negative, dark energies from disrupting the balance of the Virtual Primordial World, Shen Ji sought an outlet to guide them away.
Tai Ming and his divided-soul incarnation Jiang Chen were precisely the people known to be unaffected by Negative Energy and even capable of turning it to their own use.
However, Jiang Chen was still trapped in the Death Forbidden Zone and had no need for these energies.
Thus, Shen Ji decided to guide this energy toward the vessel of the Ghost Dao Origin that Tai Ming was searching for, giving him an unexpected surprise.
No wonder he was Tai Ming's trusted confidant.
Shen Ji and Jiang Chen had reached the same conclusion without discussion, both wanting to bring Tai Ming a tremendous surprise.
Their actions in the Virtual Primordial World were exceptionally discreet and attracted almost no outside attention.
In a certain mysterious place, an embryo absorbed the negative, dark energy of the virtual world and nurtured a mysterious power.
In the East Sea of the Virtual Primordial World, after several hundred years of battle, Son of God seized an opportunity to slay Ancestor Minghe in the virtual world, becoming universally acknowledged as the foremost figure of the New Generation.
But at this moment, Ancestor Minghe's mind was entirely elsewhere. All his attention was focused on the Spiritual Treasure embryo in Blood Sea Ming He.
Sensing that the Spiritual Treasure embryo was reaching maturity, Ancestor Minghe split his attention to sense it.
Immediately afterward, a blood-colored Innate Undying Spiritual Light shot into the sky. Most living beings failed to notice it because they were immersed in the Virtual Primordial World.
Then, a blood-colored long sword Spiritual Treasure, resembling a swimming fish, circled Ancestor Minghe and developed a sense of closeness toward him.
Ancestor Minghe touched the sword's body and comprehended its innate information. He was overjoyed.
This was Yuantu, a Top-grade Innate Killing Sword nurtured from the laws of the Innate Killing Dao. It perfectly complemented Ancestor Minghe's Blood Sea Ming He Great Dao. As Ancestor Minghe slaughtered, Blood Sea Ming He would grow increasingly powerful, while the Yuantu Sword would continuously give rise to new Innate Killing Dao Prohibitions. In the future, it might evolve into a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Killing Sword, or even a supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Killing Sword.
After obtaining this sword, Ancestor Minghe's strength soared. He could unleash one hundred and twenty percent, or even one hundred and fifty percent, of his power, allowing him to easily slay Son of God, who had previously defeated him.
Demon Lord Yellow Springs and Divine Venerable You Quan watched this scene with envy, delighted on Ancestor Minghe's behalf.
They congratulated Ancestor Minghe on obtaining the Spiritual Treasure and teased that if Son of God learned of **, he would surely be frightened.
"The matter Ancestor Minghe and the various fellow Daoists mentioned—the empty title of being the foremost person beneath Tai Yi—is truly of no importance to me.
"My pursuit is to become a Grand Unity powerhouse, like Venerable Tai Ming.
"Yet I ventured deep into the Netherworld, pursuing the location of a great opportunity, and was not hindered by worldly affairs.
"As for the matter at hand, I unexpectedly discovered a great secret of the Netherworld: a mysterious secret realm within it.
"This place concealed the gathering ground of the Remnant Souls of Chaos Demon Gods' Grudges from ancient times.
"When the Primordial World was destroyed, the bodies of the various Chaos Demon Gods became nourishment for the Primordial World, while their imprints also fused into it.
"I ventured deep into this secret realm to investigate the great Dao mysteries of the Chaos Demon Gods.
"The Chaos Demon Gods of old had lost both their physical bodies and their great Daos, but the imprints of their grudges had still left deep traces throughout the Primordial World.
"To me, this was both an opportunity and a challenge.
"I must proceed carefully to prevent any accidents."
Some said that Shen Ni had become the first-generation overlord of the Primordial World because he had absorbed the power of the Aggregates of Chaos Demon God Remnants from the first generation.
There was also a widespread claim that Cang Li Shi had refined the first generation's demon god remnants and merged them into the Heavenly Dao, granting the Heavenly Dao the power to replace the Great Dao and control the Primordial World.
There were many versions of the stories surrounding these Chaos Demon God remnants in the Primordial World.
However, these Chaos Demon God remnants seemed to have vanished completely from the Primordial World. Almost all the Primordial Divine Beings believed they had been utterly obliterated.
But Tai Ming discovered that these remnants had always been imprisoned in the seventeenth and eighteenth layers of the Netherworld.
When he discovered these Aggregates of Chaos Demon God Remnants, the Netherworld's origin will seemed to lift some kind of restriction.
Tai Ming realized that these remnants had been used to study the state of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods of old and perfect the Earthly Dao.
During the initial era of establishing the Dao, the Dao founders had faced the pressure of the Three Thousand Great Daos. Now, any Innate Divine Being with even a little insight could evolve a new Postnatal Great Dao.
When Cang Li Shi established the Heavenly Dao, the pressure had been immense. To open a Postnatal Great Dao no weaker than the Heavenly Dao and the Three Thousand Great Daos, Yue Jianshi had also used these demon god remnants for evolution.
These Chaos Demon God remnants had not been dealt with in time after the Earthly Dao formed, and had been left in the Eighteenth Layer of the Netherworld.
This information had been sealed by the Netherworld's origin will.
After Tai Ming became the master of the Netherworld, some remnants appeared in the seventeenth layer. Yet over the long years, these remnants seemed to have changed and posed no threat.
Tai Ming could not help wondering why the opportunity he sensed had appeared in such a place.
Although he was powerful enough not to fear these demon god remnants, they were ultimately no longer the Chaos Demon Gods of old.
Tai Ming worried that his actions might inadvertently awaken the remnant souls of the Chaos Demon Gods, causing them to revive throughout the Primordial World and disrupt Yue Jianshi's plans.
More importantly, he discovered that the opportunity was actually closely connected to the remnant souls of these Chaos Demon Gods, which left him shocked and confused.
Because he seemed never to have had any dealings with the Chaos Demon Gods before.
However, after he ventured into the Eighteenth Layer of the Netherworld, the answer was revealed.
The Eighteenth Layer of the Netherworld, which should have been filled with Grand Unity You Hun, was now completely empty. Even the lingering obsessions of the Chaos Demon God remnant souls once imprisoned there had vanished.
Incredibly, the embryo of a Chaos Exotic Treasure had quietly been born there. It seemed that even Yue Jianshi had never anticipated this.
Those imprisoned Chaos Demon God remnants had undergone a mutation through a fortuitous coincidence, attracting the remnants while also causing them to feel fear.
The existence of this Chaos Exotic Treasure Embryo made them yearn to merge with it and escape their current state, yet also caused them to instinctively sense the threat of being devoured.
Thus, the remnants of these Chaos Demon Gods lingered in the seventeenth layer of the Netherworld.
Tai Ming marveled at the wonders of creation. The Chaos Demon God remnants that had troubled the Primordial Gods for countless years had actually been able to nurture such an opportunity.
Although the aggregates of these Chaos Demon God remnants had no intelligence and possessed only the instinct to destroy the Primordial World, they also instinctively sought liberation.
Thus, the Grand Unity You Hun in the Netherworld became the objects in which they could entrust themselves.
Through a fortuitous coincidence, the fusion of countless You Hun with the Chaos Demon God remnants gave birth to a strand of unprecedented creation.
This Exotic Treasure gathered the power of the Netherworld, the undying essence of Grand Unity You Hun, and the characteristics of the Chaos Demon God remnants.
Through contact, Tai Ming learned the basic information about this Exotic Treasure and understood why he had sensed a connection with it.
This Exotic Treasure was called the "Diagram of Three Thousand Demon God Great Dao."
Within it were images of the True Forms of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods of old, representing the power of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws.
Having fused with the undying and imperishable traits of countless Grand Unity You Hun and the power of the Netherworld, this diagram possessed tremendous strength.
Within the Chaos Small World, the Diagram of Three Thousand Demon God Great Dao nurtured the symbiotic forms of the Chaos Demon Gods.
It seemed to recreate the magnificent scene of the Chaos nurturing demon gods in ancient times.
This Exotic Treasure contained the power of foundational laws, making these Chaos Demon God True Forms resemble the Ghost Clan and Ghost Gods of the Netherworld.
Tai Ming was astonished. He realized that this was a treasure bestowed by the heavens.
Although he had yet to refine it, he could still sense the tremendous potential of this Exotic Treasure, with its Spiritual Light constantly flashing through his mind.
However, he discovered that this Exotic Treasure might not yet have been completed because some Chaos Demon God remnants had fled to the seventeenth layer of the Netherworld, leaving it in an embryonic state.
Once it devoured these demon god remnants, the Diagram of Three Thousand Demon God Great Dao would complete its gestation.
Although Tai Ming yearned intensely for this Exotic Treasure, he also realized that it bore the imprints of the Great Dao and Chaos and might be instinctively rejected by the Primordial World.
As the master of the Netherworld, he began to hesitate after sensing the Netherworld's rejection.
He wanted to refine this Exotic Treasure to enhance his own strength, but he also knew that this was not the best choice.
He had other means of making better use of this Exotic Treasure.
However, doing so might cause him to lose the Exotic Treasure.
In the end, he decided to first attempt to refine the Exotic Treasure and see whether its abilities suited him before making a decision.
When Tai Ming refined the Diagram of Three Thousand Demon God Great Dao, it was as though he had engaged in a fierce battle with countless Chaos Demon Gods.
The True Form of every Chaos Great Dao Demon God contained the Grand Unity power of the Twelve-Layered Dao Realm, presenting Tai Ming with an immense challenge.
Although he had never fought the Chaos Demon Gods before, he did not fear hardship and bravely accepted the challenge.
He knew that these Chaos Demon Gods had been nurtured from the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws and far surpassed him in their application of the power of laws, but this did not dampen his fighting spirit.
An ordinary person might not even have had the chance to touch this Exotic Treasure, much less refine it within a mere one thousand Yuan Hui.
But Tai Ming had accomplished precisely that. His determination and perseverance were admirable.
He regarded the True Forms of these Chaos Demon Gods as opponents who could temper him. Through constant battles with them, he improved his control over the power of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws.
At the same time, he drew profound mysteries from these True Forms.
He silently thought, Once I comprehend all the mysteries within this Exotic Treasure, what does it matter if I lose it?
After one hundred thousand Yuan Hui of effort, Tai Ming finally refined the first thirty-six Chaos Dao Prohibitions of the Exotic Treasure, and the True Forms of those Chaos Demon Gods gradually quieted down.
At this moment, while shocked by the Exotic Treasure's power, Tai Ming began exploring its intrinsic abilities.
After seeing what this Exotic Treasure could do, even he, whose steadfast Dao heart could not be shaken by the collapse of heaven and earth, could not help feeling stunned.
He nearly felt the urge to make this Exotic Treasure his own.
But Tai Ming quickly regained his composure and began testing the Exotic Treasure's actual abilities.
He discovered that this Diagram of Three Thousand Demon God Great Dao was practically a replica of the Jade Plate of Creation.
This Great Dao diagram, which nurtured the True Forms of the Chaos Demon Gods, possessed the function of a supreme treasure for comprehending the Dao.
It was just like how he had previously refined the Chaos Dao Prohibitions within it and fought against the True Forms of the Chaos Great Dao Demon Gods, thereby absorbing the mysteries of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws.
Its true Dao-comprehension function allowed one's mind and spirit to merge with the Great Dao True Forms of the Chaos Great Dao Demon Gods, comprehending the power of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws from the perspective of the Chaos Demon Gods.
Each demon god True Form corresponded to one of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws.
This alone made the Diagram of Three Thousand Demon God Great Dao comparable to the Jade Plate of Creation in Dao Lord Hongjun's possession.
Tai Ming merely experienced the diagram's Dao-comprehension ability for a short while, yet he instantly comprehended the Dao for nearly one thousand Yuan Hui.
When he came back to himself, he discovered that the power of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws within his Grand Unity Dao Realm had surpassed one hundred thousand strands and condensed into Great Dao Divine Chains.
Even the Twelfth Layer of the Grand Unity Dao Realm, which he had only just entered, showed signs of loosening.
What moved him most was the ability of the Diagram of Three Thousand Demon God Great Dao.
The Diagram of Great Dao manifested the Great Dao, while the Three Thousand Demon Gods contained terrifying power.
Within the diagram was a perfect small Chaos World, nurturing a New Generation of Demon Gods formed from the True Forms of the Three Thousand Great Dao Demon Gods.
