Dear readers, I am the protagonist of this book. My name is Zhou Xuan. I'm invincible from the start. The disciples I take are more powerful than the last. I fight all the way, overturning the Heavenly Court, collapsing Spirit Mountain, and defeating Hongjun... If you don't like stories that start with fighting... please don't criticize me... just ignore me.

Whether you, dear readers, like to read it or not, whether you want to fight or not, I wish you wealth beyond measure, beauties on both arms, and unparalleled handsomeness.

--Your unfilial son, Zhou Xuan, kowtows in thanks.

This book is also known as:

Slept for a Billion Years, Woke Up as a Chaos Saint

Vast Chaos, before the heavens and earth were opened.

[Ding! Host Zhou Xuan has transmigrated to the Chaos World!] [Ding! System has been bound. Detecting that Host Zhou Xuan is sleeping, activating the automatic cultivation function.]

At this moment, endless Chaos, vast darkness, without light or color, boundless!

There is a humanoid spirit body, sleeping!

One breath!

One exhale!

Endless, continuous Primordial Chaos Origin and profound Laws frantically pour into his body!

But he remains asleep, seemingly without any awareness, drifting in the Chaos like a floating corpse!

Tens of millions of years pass in the blink of an eye!

He is still asleep!

Hundreds of millions of years pass in the blink of an eye!

He is still asleep!

His body gradually spiritualizes, like a white jade sculpture, emitting a soft light!

Chaos does not record years; time is worthless.

[Host Zhou Xuan has slept for 10,000 System years, automatically cultivating to the Human Immortal Realm!] [Host Zhou Xuan has slept for 100,000 years, automatically cultivating to the Earth Immortal Realm!] [Host Zhou Xuan has slept for 1 million years, automatically cultivating to the Heavenly Immortal Realm!] [Host Zhou Xuan has slept for 10 million years, automatically cultivating to the True Immortal Realm!] [30 million years... Profound Immortal!] [70 million years... Golden Immortal!] [100 million years... Grand Unity Golden Immortal!] [300 million years... Grand Unity Golden Immortal!] [500 million years... Primordial Golden Immortal (Quasi-Saint)!] [1 billion years... Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal (Saint)!] [Ding, Host Zhou Xuan has slept for 1 billion years, achieving Dao through Sleep! Becoming the only Saint in the world to achieve Sainthood through Sleep! System's first stage mission is complete! Automatic cultivation function has been stopped!]

Unknowingly, while sleeping, Zhou Xuan, through the System's automatic cultivation, had slept his way into becoming a Saint!

But he himself still felt nothing. This sleep seemed destined to last until the end of time, until space and time were annihilated, until the Great Dao collapsed.

The Primordial World does not count years; time is worthless!

Zhou Xuan finally woke up, and a massive amount of information flooded into his mind!

This information was as vast as the ocean. In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, he spent over a hundred years to finally digest it all!

"Holy crap!"

"I've transmigrated!!!"

"Achieve Dao through Sleep. I woke up to become a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal! The so-called Saint!"

Zhou Xuan had read many Primordial Flow novels in his previous life. He knew that all beings below a Saint were ants. Now that he had become a Saint, he at least had the strength to protect himself in this world.

Moreover, after digesting the memories, he discovered that many things had actually happened during his long sleep.

When he first transmigrated to Chaos, he was like a small boat in the vast sea, without consciousness, drifting everywhere!

He remembered a seed that landed on his hair, taking his dandruff as nourishment, taking root, sprouting, flowering, and finally growing into a blue lotus flower!

Later, this blue lotus flower drifted into the Chaos and was picked up by a child named Pangu, who called it the "Chaos Green Lotus".

He also remembered a piece of Chaos Black Iron falling on his chest, nourished by the spiritual energy emanating from his body. He didn't know how long had passed before that child named Pangu saw this piece of Chaos Black Iron and was very happy. He bowed to him three times and took the Black Iron away.

Later, this child divided this piece of Black Iron into two!

One half was forged into a dark axe, called the Sky-Opening Divine Axe.

The other half was forged into a silver chisel, called the Earth-Splitting Chisel.

Oh!

That's right!

He remembered that he once had a kidney stone in his body. When he achieved Dao through Sleep and became a Saint, the kidney stone was expelled from his body and snatched up by countless Gods and Demons, later disappearing without a trace.

Those Gods and Demons seemed to call the kidney stone the Chaos Bead.

After that, he didn't know how many years had passed, and he had been sleeping all along.

During the Fierce Beast Tribulation, he was sleeping.

During the Dragon-Phoenix Primordial Tribulation, he was sleeping.

During Hongjun Preaches the Dao, he was sleeping.

During the Witch-Demon Tribulation, he was sleeping.

During the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, he was still sleeping.

Time passed, and the world changed.

Now, he didn't know how many years had passed, and he finally woke up, and the System's voice came to his mind again.

[Ding! Detected that the host Zhou Xuan has awakened. The System has automatically generated a Dojo!] [Ding! Detected that the host Zhou Xuan has become a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal. The System has activated the second stage mission. Please continue to work hard to reach the supreme Chaos Great Dao Supreme realm!] [Ding, please accept many disciples to improve your cultivation!]

"Chaos Great Dao Supreme realm?"

Zhou Xuan was immediately interested. He didn't expect that there would be realms above the Saint.

Although his current cultivation is said to be Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal, equivalent to a Saint, he achieved Dao through Sleep. He woke up and inexplicably became a Saint. It's really hard to say what his real strength is!

Moreover, he has a body of surging power, but he doesn't know how to use it, like Shi Potian in Ode to Gallantry, what a waste!

Although all below a Saint are ants!

But there are also differences between Saints.

He knew that there were a total of seven Heavenly Dao Saints and one Earthly Dao Saint in this Primordial World.

First, there was Hongjun, who comprehended the Jade Disk of Creation, severed the Three Corpses to become a Saint, and became the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao.

Secondly, Grand Pure Laozi, Primordial Lord of Heaven, Sect Master Tongtian, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti, these six were all Hongjun's disciples. They achieved Dao through Merit, entrusting their true spirits to the Heavenly Dao, and were immortal and indestructible.

Among them, Jieyin and Zhunti were somewhat special. In order to achieve Dao and become Saints, they once made forty-eight great vows, using great wisdom, great courage, and a fearless spirit to borrow a large amount of Merit from the Heavenly Dao, thereby achieving Dao and becoming Saints!

So they are also called "Loan Saints."

Finally, Empress Houtu, also known as Empress Pingxin, transformed herself into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, opened up the Underworld, made up for the defects of the Earthly Dao, and became the spokesperson of the Earthly Dao, also known as the Earthly Dao Saint, whose strength is unfathomable.

"I achieved Dao through Sleep and became a Saint. I wonder who is more powerful compared to other Saints?"

Zhou Xuan is a very cautious person!

He knows that the Primordial World is a jungle, where the strong prey on the weak.

Although he is now a Saint, it is really hard to say what his actual combat power is!

Moreover, he is not like those Heavenly Dao Saints, whose primordial spirits are entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, bearing the will of the Heavenly Dao. Even if they die, they can be reborn in the Heavenly Dao River.

He became a Saint countless years earlier than Hongjun!

At that time, it was still the Chaos world, and Pangu had not yet created the world!

However, according to the System!

Above the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal (Saint), there are other realms, namely:

Hunyuan Taiji Celestial Venerable, also known as the Sage of Dao Integration, is also the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, Dao Ancestor Hongjun is in this realm.

Further up are Hunyuan Wuji Divine Venerable, Hongmeng Great Dao Saint Venerable, and Chaos Great Dao Supreme.

If one cultivates to become a Chaos Great Dao Supreme, then one can:

The Great Dao is me, I am not the Great Dao.

Control the Great Dao, surpass the Great Dao.

The Great Dao collapses, yet I remain carefree.

One proof, eternal proof, immortal and indestructible.

In short, translated into plain language, it means Eternal Freedom, omniscient and omnipotent, transcending everything, not bound by any power, and opening up the source of all things. Without trace, without shadow, without a trace to be found or not to be found, both the Great Dao and transcending the Great Dao.

"It seems that only by becoming a Chaos Great Dao Supreme can one truly be eternally invincible."

After figuring out his current situation, Zhou Xuan settled down in his Dojo with peace of mind.

The Dojo opened up by the System is located above the vast sea of Western Ox Continent.

The Dojo seems unremarkable, but in fact, when he is in it, he is the master here, comparable to the Great Dao, One Thought, All Things Born, One Thought Buries Heaven and Earth!

Even if Hongjun brought his six Saint disciples here, they would have to kneel down and call him Father!

"As long as I temporarily stay put in my Dojo and don't go out!"

"Even if the Heavenly Dao were to manifest, it wouldn't be able to do anything to me!"

Thinking this, Zhou Xuan felt much more at ease and subconsciously touched the jade pendant on his neck!

Huh!

Where's my jade pendant?

He remembered that before he transmigrated, he was reading a Primordial Flow novel.

He was reading Primordial World: Sleeping for a Billion Years, Waking Up to See the Monkey Become a Disciple, by the author This Mortal.

This book was extremely satisfying!

Moreover, it was said that every reader of this book was more handsome than the last!

Just as he was enjoying it immensely, the jade pendant he was wearing suddenly emitted Five-Colored Divine Light, enveloping him, and then he lost consciousness.

"My transmigration must be related to this jade pendant!"

"According to my mother, when I was born, I was holding this jade pendant in my hands... but how could this jade pendant have disappeared?"

Zhou Xuan sorted through the memories in his mind and finally understood!

It turned out that Old Thief Hongjun had stolen his jade pendant!

Originally, when he was drifting like a floating corpse in Chaos, a black, large, and thick earthworm landed on him, bit through the rope on his neck, and stole the jade pendant.

After stealing the jade pendant, the earthworm called it the "Jade Disk of Creation" and comprehended the Method of Slaying Three Corpses from it.

"Good for you, Old Thief Hongjun, taking what isn't yours, you really are an old thief!"

Zhou Xuan hated petty thieves the most in his life!

Although Pangu, that kid, also took the Chaos Black Iron from his chest, at least Pangu was a polite kid. Before taking it, he knew to bow three times to show respect.

Hongjun, that old earthworm, directly bit through the rope and ran off with it; how detestable!

"Old Thief Hongjun, stealing my jade pendant, when I cultivate to become a Chaos Great Dao Supreme, I will definitely cut you into a thousand pieces and shred you to bits!"

Zhou Xuan's tone was chilling. He suddenly thought that Hongjun's Origin was a section of earthworm, also the ancestor of earthworms!

He had heard that even when an earthworm is cut in half, it can still survive!

If an earthworm were cut into a thousand pieces and shredded into countless sections, he wondered if countless Hongjuns would grow out!

Heh!

Zhou Xuan thought with a morbid sense of humor, raising his head, his gaze like a long sword, piercing through countless light-years, stabbing into the depths of the vast Chaos.

At the same time, deep within Chaos, Purple Cloud Palace.

Here, immortal mountains and jade pavilions, ten thousand feet of rosy clouds, spiritual birds and beasts, and gurgling springs could be found.

Various profound Laws and profound Dharmas were also everywhere.

Suddenly, two streaks of sword energy shattered the void and arrived, like thunder and lightning!

Boom!

One struck the outer perimeter.

The immortal blessed land instantly turned into dust, transforming into a hellish purgatory in an instant.

Boom!

One struck the main hall of Purple Cloud Palace.

Even though it was filled with countless Law mysteries and restriction barriers, it still couldn't stop this terrifying sword energy, and a corner of the southeast was cut off.

Whoosh!

Hongjun suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes bursting out with two white rays, followed by a deep look of horror!

"What terrifying sword energy!"

"Who exactly is it? Is there still such a strong person in the Primordial World?"

Just now, his primordial spirit was swimming through the heavens, carefully comprehending the Primordial Origin of Heavenly Dao, wanting to completely control the Heavenly Dao and reach the realm of Dao harmonization.

However, these two streaks of sword energy arrived out of nowhere, making him both shocked and fearful.

"Since I harmonized with the Dao, I have never encountered such a strong person!"

"Now that the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West is about to arrive, I want to use the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West to further weaken the Primordial Continent, and use this to devour the Heavenly Dao, reach the realm of Dao harmonization, completely replace the Heavenly Dao, and dominate the Primordial World."

"But at this time, an anomaly arises? Hmph! No matter who it is, if you dare to ruin my grand plan, I will definitely make you die and disappear, turning into nothingness!"

Hongjun's voice was filled with indifference!

The so-called Saint is ruthless, and the Heavenly Dao is even more ruthless.

Hongjun harmonized with the Dao, having already severed his seven emotions and six desires, regarding all things and living beings as mere dogs.

"The Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, the time has come."

"Buddhism Spreads East, Buddhism shall flourish."

Hongjun's words became the law of the world.

The majestic voice instantly traversed countless light-years, landing on Spirit Mountain.

At this moment, in Western Ox Continent, the sacred realm of Spirit Mountain, the Great Thunderclap Temple.

The towering Grand Hall of Heroes stood ten thousand zhang tall.

Buddha Tathagata sat high upon the Seven Treasure Lotus Platform, expounding profound scriptures.

In an instant, heavenly flowers rained down, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth.

The Buddha preached, and with each gentle utterance, profound truths emerged. Countless obscure and profound Buddhist Dharma mysteries poured down like a mighty river.

Buddhism's hierarchy was strict.

Tathagata held the highest position, followed by his personal disciples, the Four Great Bodhisattvas, ordinary Bodhisattvas, then the Eight Great Vajras, and the Five Hundred Arhats.

At the outermost circle were the Three Thousand Jiedi, along with countless Bhikshuni and Bhikshu.

At this moment, melodious Sanskrit chants filled Spirit Mountain, and the Buddhist Dharma was vast and boundless.

Everyone was immersed in Tathagata's Buddhist Dharma, completely entranced.

Just then, a detached voice suddenly rang out like a thunderclap from flat ground!

BOOM!

All the heavenly flowers, all the golden lotuses, all the Buddhist Dharma mysteries, vanished instantly without a trace.

Spirit Mountain trembled from top to bottom, and celestial birds and spiritual beasts prostrated on the ground.

Only to hear echoing between heaven and earth:

"The Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, the time has come."

"Buddhism Spreads East, Buddhism shall flourish."

The voice was extremely indifferent, and extremely majestic!

In an instant, a flash of ecstasy crossed Dabao Tathagata's face. He stood up and respectfully bowed deeply towards the direction of the Chaos Purple Cloud Palace:

"Respectfully obey the Dao Ancestor's Dharma decree!"

Immediately afterward, the assembly of Bodhisattvas, Eight Great Vajras, Five Hundred Arhats, Three Thousand Jiedi, and countless Bhikshunis and Bhikshus on Spirit Mountain all stood and bowed towards the direction of Purple Cloud Palace:

"Respectfully obey the Dao Ancestor's Dharma decree!"

As the words fell, joy spread across the faces of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the entire Grand Hall of Heroes.

Tathagata returned to his throne, muttering to himself, the time has come, it's time to impart magic to the monkey!

Great Sage Who Settles Accounts, go online immediately!
