Primordial Danqing Brush, Great Dao of Painting!
Dao Seeking Palace, the Sound of the Great Dao could be faintly heard, and purple mist filled the air. Ye Xuan was in Secluded Cultivation, comprehending the Great Dao of Dreams, when he heard another Electronic Sound enter his ears, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Primordial Heavenly Venerate does indeed possess some skill."
"While in Secluded Cultivation, I sensed that Tongtian had left..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan also showed a hint of surprise. Primordial Heavenly Venerate really did have some tricks up his sleeve. If he hadn't intervened, the other party would have had a better chance of winning. Not only did he notice when Tongtian Sect Master left, but he also went directly to the Reincarnation to seek an audience with Daoist Houtu.
If it succeeds, it will be invincible from the start. Even if the Tongtian Sect Master Laozi wins over the Daoist Kunpeng Daoist Nuwa, he can still break the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan looked down.
Using someone else to do the dirty work, Ye Xuan shook his head and ignored the offer to inform the Tongtian Sect Master, hoping to obtain a Saint-Slaying Pill. He then looked at the next option: help the Primordial Heavenly Venerate Venerable or simply ignore it.
Helping Primordial Heavenly Venerate is feasible, since he only sent Houtu Daoist Houtu to stop Daoist Nuwa. The two can simply remain neutral. Thinking of this, Ye Xuan also spoke up.
"Choose the second one, and help Primordial Heavenly Venerate out."
After Ye Xuan made his choice, another Electronic Sound entered Ye Xuan's ears.
[Ding-dong!]
[The host has chosen to help Primordial Heavenly Venerate by persuading Daoist Houtu to stop Daoist Nuwa. The Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Danqing Brush, is being distributed. Please check it yourself.]
Buzz!
The void trembled slightly, and thousands of auspicious lights appeared. A brush radiating endless Innate Divine Light appeared out of thin air. The brush handle was as warm and smooth as jade, and was engraved with the shapes of mountains, rivers, plants, insects, fish, birds and beasts. The brush hairs were as white as snow, as if a layer of clouds and mist were swirling around them. It seemed that with just a gentle stroke, a world could be drawn.
It is indeed Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Danqing Brush!
Ye Xuan reached out and grasped the divine brush, probing it with his divine sense, and instantly discovered its origins.
This Innate Spiritual Treasure can be used to depict paintings, borrowing the power of heaven and earth. It is not the treasure born of the Literary Demon God, but the treasure born of the Painting Dao Demon God.
Its accompanying treasure, after the creation of the world, also shattered and transformed into four Innate Spiritual Treasure: Brush, Ink, Paper, and Inkstone, each a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
"The Great Dao of Painting, which imitates all realms and borrows the power of Three Thousand Demon Gods, is also a Supreme Great Dao."
"What a pity. Just like the Literary Demon God, even the Space Demon God, Daoist Yang Mei, could borrow a trace of its power."
"However, we cannot borrow even a trace of Pangu's divine essence."
Ye Xuan nodded repeatedly. Only after truly becoming a powerful being could one understand how powerful Pangu back then, and how each Great Dao Demon God possessed their own unique methods.
The Painting Demon God, who imitates all realms, borrows the power of Three Thousand Demon Gods.
The Great Dao of Literature can be used to modify reality with its accompanying treasures. Furthermore, any information recorded in writing can appear on the Primordial Heavenly Book.
Basically, they each have their own methods.
There are also Hidden Demon God, through their profound concealment abilities, can hide their own information within space and time, and can even conceal their opponent's attacks.
Every demon god had reached the pinnacle of their own path, but when faced with Pangu, they were utterly powerless.
"Relying solely on the Three Thousand Great Daos, even the Way of Yin and Yang, he is merely a second Daoist Yang Mei. Even if he could escape from Pangu, he would still be no match for him."
"You must also push all Three Thousand Great Daos to their limits!"
"Only in this way can we catch up with Pangu."
"However, if we want to transcend Pangu in one fell swoop, we still need to rely on the Three Thousand Heavens."
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan's eyes flickered, and with a wave of his hand, he grasped the Danqing Brush. He planned to wait until he was stronger, and then use his increased strength to find the other three Innate Spiritual Treasure and comprehend the Great Dao of Painting.
However, the most urgent task is to complete the following mission.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan also separated a wisp of his divine sense, which instantly traversed endless space and time and entered the Netherworld.
Beneath the Nine Netherworlds, within the Reincarnation.
Here, the Yin Wind howls and the Yellow Springs gush forth year-round, yet within the Netherworld Palace at the very center of the Reincarnation reincarnation, there is a serene and peaceful atmosphere.
Daoist Houtu, who was in Secluded Cultivation comprehending the true meaning of Reincarnation, sensed something. She gently raised her hand, and a wisp of spiritual light bloomed from the void, transforming into a gate of light, carrying Ye Xuan's divine sense into it.
"Fellow Daoist Jieyin, your Houtu is an honor. I, Houtu, have failed to greet you properly, which is rather impolite of me."
Houtu slowly opened her eyes, her gaze gentle, her voice ethereal.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan transformed a wisp of his divine sense into his true form, stood before the Wheel of Reincarnation, and bowed slightly.
"Greetings, Fellow Houtu."
"No one visits the Three Treasures Hall without a reason. You've come to my Netherworld, Fellow Daoist Jieyin, with urgent business. Is there something important you need?"
Not much time had passed since the three parted ways, and Houtu was somewhat puzzled when Ye Xuan came to visit.
However, despite some confusion, Daoist Houtu did not neglect Ye Xuan's visit.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan smiled slightly and spoke.
"It's not a big deal."
"While observing the secrets of heaven in the Dao Seeking Palace, I witnessed an interesting Karma, and I have come to remind you, fellow Daoist."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Houtu frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
"I do not know the Karma; I humbly request your guidance, fellow Daoist."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan explained the matter of the Tongtian Sect Master's visit and the impending arrival of the Primordial Heavenly Venerate.
"What do you mean, fellow Daoist...?"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Houtu's face also showed a hint of understanding.
"Shall I agree to put on a show with Fellow Daoist Nuwa?"
"That's right. I'm just here to remind you, fellow Daoist. If the other party asks you to stop one person, you can agree and choose Fellow Daoist Nuwa."
"In this way, not only will he incur a Karma, but he will also be able to directly discuss the Dao with Daoist Nuwa."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Houtu nodded and looked at Ye Xuan, asking curiously.
"May I ask, Fellow Daoist Jieyin, in your esteemed opinion, who will ultimately prevail in this Measure Tribulation?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan's gaze seemed to pierce through the river of time. After a moment of contemplation, he finally spoke.
"In the true future, the War of Investiture of the Gods would have been won by Primordial Heavenly Venerate. Tongtian Sect Master Jiaozhu would have been utterly despondent and would have wanted to recreate the elements of earth, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, but would have been stopped by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who would have given him a Saint-Slaying Pill and imprisoned him in the Purple Cloud Palace, where he would never have a chance to rise again."
"However, now that I've entered the game, the General Trend of Heavenly Dao has changed beyond recognition, and there's nothing left to refer to. Although Yuanshi still has a slight edge Primordial winning, I dare not predict the final outcome."
Upon hearing the words "Saint-Slaying Pill," Houtu's eyes widened in shock, and a sense of great terror arose within her.
"The Saint-Slaying Pill..."
"Could it be that even Sage would perish after swallowing it?"
Ye Xuan shook his head, a serious expression appearing on his face.
"I have never seen this treasure in person."
"At first, I thought this elixir was meant to prevent the Three Pure Ones from uniting their primordial spirits and Pangu from being resurrected, but recently I've become uncertain. Whatever its mysteries, we'll know War of Investiture of the Gods!"
"If this cannot be explained, I fear we will be unable to Dao Ancestor's wish!"
Beside him, Daoist Houtu, seeing Lü Yang's composure, also showed a hint of shock.
"Fellow Daoist Jieyin, you have indeed entered the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal..."
"He's only at the Late-Saint Stage, but with some skill, he might still be able to contend with the Dao Ancestor."
Ye Xuan shook his head. Although it was a contest, Ye Xuan followed the Three Thousand Great Daos, while Dao Ancestor followed a heterodox path. If they fought, Primordial World Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Ye Xuan's cultivation was entirely his own.
If a real fight breaks out, it would be a Pyrrhic victory for Dao Ancestor, causing him to suffer heavy losses himself. Dao Ancestor wouldn't dare to truly break ties with him, otherwise he would only suffer even greater losses.
Upon hearing this, Daoist Houtu, who was standing to the side, was once again shocked.
"Late-Saint Stage, to contend with the Dao Ancestor?"
Only upon reaching the Primordial Seven Heavens can one be considered Late-Saint Stage.
To have a contest with the Dao Ancestor is even more astonishing.
Just as Daoist Houtu was about to speak, Ye Xuan chuckled again.
"The Primordial Heavenly Venerate has arrived, and I am about to depart as well. Houtu Daoist Houtu, please remember to ask for some benefits."
"Good!"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Houtu hurriedly spoke up as well.
"Fellow Daoist, please take care!"
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, his divine sense dissipating into nothingness.
As he departed, a sudden gust of wind and clouds swept across the land.
"Boom!"
An immense, Sage- like pressure descended upon them.
Above the Yellow Springs, countless golden lotuses bloomed out of thin air, dispelling endless Purple Qi Coming from the East, and Immortal Music rays shone brightly in the netherworld. Celestial music descended from the Nine Heavens, its majesty inviolable.
The next moment, a powerful voice, carrying supreme majesty, resounded throughout the entire Netherworld.
"Yuqing Primordial has come to pay his respects to Houtu!"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Houtu nodded in agreement.
"The Primordial Heavenly Venerate has indeed arrived..."
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Jieyin's strength is already Tongtian."
"No wonder you could hold your own against me!"
Thinking of this, Daoist Houtu waved her hand lightly, and another passageway opened.
Amidst the shifting light and shadow, a middle-aged Exposition Sect priest, holding Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, with a solemn expression and surrounded by the Jade Purity Immortal Light, slowly walked into the main hall. He was none other than the leader of the Chan Sect, Primordial Heavenly Venerate.
He stepped onto a golden lotus in the void and entered the Netherworld Palace.
Although he was Sage, Imperishable Through Countless Calamities, even the Primordial Heavenly Venerate dared not be too presumptuous within the Six Paths of Reincarnation of Reincarnation controlled by Daoist Houtu.
"Greetings, Fellow Houtu."
Primordial Heavenly Venerate bowed to him, a rare slight smile appearing on his face.
Daoist Houtu sat upright on the cloud bed, without getting up. She simply raised her delicate hand and pointed to the futon opposite her, her expression aloof.
"Primordial Daoist Yuanshi, why do you come to my land of Reincarnation instead of comprehending the Great Dao in the Jade Void Palace?"
Seeing his unfriendly expression, Primordial Heavenly Venerate felt helpless.
It was he who orchestrated the Witch-Demon War Demon King, which ultimately led to the destruction of the Twelve Ancestral Witches along with the Heavenly Court and its allies.
Judging from the other party's expression, they probably already knew, so they immediately got straight to the point.
"I wish to ask you, fellow Daoist, to help me break the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!"
Houtu said coldly, "I don't really want to get involved in the Measure Tribulation. The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation can only be broken by the Four Saints."
"However, there was more than one Sage in the Primordial World."
"If I don't make a move, other fellow cultivators will."
Upon hearing this, Primordial Heavenly Venerate sighed helplessly.
"If there were other options, I would not want you to get involved, fellow Daoist."
"However, Tongtian's Interception Sect is entirely composed of demon disciples. If they lose the Investiture of the War of Investiture of the Gods, the Demon Race Fortune will also decline."
"Therefore, they went to the Wa Huang Heaven to invite Fellow Daoist Nuwa to participate!"
"The Daoist Nuwa?"
Houtu feigned ignorance, revealing a hint of surprise.
"It is indeed Nuwa!"
"Once Fellow Daoist Nuwa makes her move, it would take at least five Sage to break through her Immortal Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. I wish to ask Fellow Daoist to intervene and stop Saint Nuwa. Otherwise, if the Interception Sect wins, the Demon Race Fortune soar, and the remnants of the Ancient Demon Court may make a comeback, plunging the world into chaos."
Looking at the upright expression on Primordial Heavenly Venerate's face, Daoist Houtu secretly sneered, but her face showed a troubled expression.
After a moment, Houtu slowly spoke, her voice low and melancholic.
"What you say, fellow Daoist, does indeed make some sense. The witches and Witch-Demon are irreconcilable enemies, and I do not wish to see the demon race become powerful."
"Only..."
Houtu changed the subject and looked at Primordial Heavenly Venerate.
"My true self, the Incarnated Reincarnation, once vowed never again to easily participate in the Primordial World battles."
"Furthermore, Fellow Daoist Nuwa is also Sage. If I were to intervene, I would be creating Karma between us."
Upon hearing this, Primordial Heavenly Venerate also let out a long sigh.
It seems the other party just wanted some benefits, and they've already relented—just some benefits, which isn't difficult!
Thinking of this, he spoke up directly.
"The Karma a Sage!"
"Furthermore, there is also a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."
"Fellow Daoist, simply stop Nuwa!"
"If Daoist Xuanming is also willing to participate, I can incur Karma with two more Sage and a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."
"Furthermore, fellow Daoist, you only need to stop the other Sage besides Tongtian. As for the Tongtian Sect Master, I will take care of him myself."
"Even if it's just Nuwa alone, the transaction will still be valid."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Houtu pondered for a moment. Considering the Karma of the three Sage and the two Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, he spoke up.
"Can!"
"I agree. When it's time for you to make your move, if Fellow Daoist Nuwa gets involved, I will personally work with Xuanming to stop the other fellow Daoists and prevent them from helping Fellow Daoist Tongtian."
"Excellent!"
Upon hearing this, Primordial Heavenly Venerate also revealed a smile.
Despite incurring three Karma, it would all be worthwhile as long as it could stop Nuwa and break through the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation in one fell swoop.
"If that's the case, I won't keep you from your cultivation any longer. Farewell!"
Daoist Houtu agreed, Primordial Heavenly Venerate immediately took out two Innate Spiritual Treasure and took his leave. Although Daoist Houtu and Daoist Xuanming agreed, there was still Ancestor Minghe.
In the eyes of the Primordial Heavenly Venerate, although the Ancestor Minghe was difficult to deal with, it would be easier to get him to take action.
The opponent's main cultivation Way of Slaughter, and the Tongtian Sect Master possesses the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.
This is truly an unparalleled treasure of slaughter!
