Primordial Wilderness: I Keep Offering Poisonous Schemes! Houtu Urges Me to Stay Calm

Pangu Orthodox was truly no self-bestowed title.

Before this, Chu Xuan, a Lesser Shaman at the Golden Immortal realm, had mastered a minor stage of the Great Earth Law, as befitted one of the Houtu Tribe.

But now, as the Heavenly Tribulation Law flowed into him, Chu Xuan could feel the Great Earth Law beginning to be suppressed.

Within his body, something else seemed to be born—something terrifying, vast with the might of heaven.

His True Body continuously grew stronger, his blood and qi surged higher, and an unseen Law Authority condensed.

He transformed from the early Golden Immortal stage to the middle Golden Immortal stage, his aura rising without pause.

"This is..."

Chu Xuan looked at the many Ancestral Shamans in surprise.

As ever, the most enthusiastic Ancestral Shaman Zhurong spoke for everyone.

"Though we are Ancestral Shamans, it would not be right for us to seize a clansman's opportunity. While we disdain the Heavenly Dao, we must admit that completing the Heavenly Dao, even if it is meant to shift blame onto others, is surely a tremendous opportunity."

"We have already taken the advantage, so naturally we must show our appreciation!"

"We will evolve the Heavenly Tribulation Authority for you. Once we manifest it in the Primordial Wilderness and establish the Heavenly Tribulation Authority, you will become the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Ancestor!"

"And you will be the most special Dao Ancestor. Each of us commands one Dao, but you alone will encompass all manner of Heavenly Tribulation Calamities! You may become a Dao Venerable!"

"Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerable, you can already address us as fellow Daoists!"

Zhurong laughed heartily, waggling his brows at Chu Xuan.

Surging flames rose from his body, intertwining with Tribulation Qi.

Qiangliang, Gonggong, and the other Ancestral Shamans around them all nodded kindly at Chu Xuan.

Even Dijiang and the other Ancestral Shamans nearby voiced their approval, with no intention of stopping this.

Houtu, the chief of his own tribe, spoke even more gently to Chu Xuan.

"From now on, Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerable is our fellow Daoist, while Chu Xuan remains Chu Xuan of my Houtu Tribe!"

This was not some petty scheme, but protection.

Chu Xuan was still weak. Should he become the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Venerable and suffer any backlash, he could easily be reduced to ashes.

Thus, the thoughtful Houtu took the initiative to help Chu Xuan assume two identities.

In public, Chu Xuan would remain an ordinary Lesser Shaman, but in secret, he would be able to address the Ancestral Shamans as fellow Daoists.

Watching this scene, which had completely exceeded his expectations, Chu Xuan was once again shaken by the Wu Clan's magnanimity.

At that moment, Chu Xuan suddenly gained a deeper understanding of the so-called Wu Clan, of what it meant to share the same blood and origin.

So he did not refuse.

After all, this was a good thing.

The Ancestral Shamans did not lack the addition of a Heavenly Tribulation Great Dao. Their own foundations were enough to support their growth all the way to the pinnacle.

But Chu Xuan was different. He had not been formed from Pangu Essence Blood, and the Law Fragments within him were far fewer.

With the Heavenly Tribulation Law aiding him, he would certainly be able to grow faster.

He was of the Wu Clan; he shared glory and ruin alike with the Ancestral Shamans. Naturally, he had even less reason to decline.

Of course, once the Ancestral Shamans manifested the Heavenly Tribulation Great Dao, he, as its originator, would also receive an enormous reward of Merit.

Yet in the end, because he had not personally created the Heavenly Tribulation, he would be unable to obtain the Great Dao Law, much less the status of a Dao Ancestor.

But now, the various Ancestral Shamans had stepped in ahead of time to help him evolve a portion of Law Authority.

When the time came to manifest it, he would receive rewards as the Dao Ancestor who had first created it. His gains would surely be even greater.

The many Ancestral Shamans evolved the calamities, gradually bringing the process to completion.

They were almost ready to step out of Pangu Great Hall at any moment and prove the Dao to the outside world.

Seeing this, Dijiang immediately stepped forward, clapping his hands and laughing.

"Since that is so, let me, as the eldest brother, personally conceal the heavenly secrets for you!"

"Brothers and sisters, activate Pangu Great Hall together!"

"Let us sever the heavenly secrets together. Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun, seated high above, shall be unable to glimpse the truth for several eras!"

Though the Wu Clan had chosen this path, that did not mean they intended to stand openly in the light and draw all the fire.

There was one point Chu Xuan had not mentioned: even after becoming the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Ancestor, one could still find a way to hide.

Of course, it was not that Chu Xuan had not wanted to say so, but that he did not know whether the Wu Clan could actually accomplish it.

Logically speaking, Hongjun was Integrating with Dao with the Heavenly Dao. Such a tremendous change involving the Heavenly Dao could not possibly be concealed from him.

But at this moment, Dijiang's answer delighted Chu Xuan even more.

Sure enough, any race capable of making Hongjun wary had more than a few tricks up its sleeve!

Houtu, Xuanming, and the others nodded.

Then, in an instant, they all struck together.

With a thunderous roar, they activated the long-silent Pangu Great Hall.

Deep within Pangu Great Hall, a heart suddenly began to beat.

Then, the next moment, countless spaces surrounding the entire hall exploded with a crash.

An ancient, vast aura that seemed to lead straight into the barbaric wilderness erupted in an instant, concealing and blocking all heavenly secrets.

Chaos had endured through the ages.

Above the many Ancestral Shamans hung a stretch of chaos.

It seemed connected to the entire Primordial Wilderness, yet transcended the Primordial Wilderness itself.

At the same time, the Six Ancestral Shamans who were evolving the Heavenly Tribulation immediately drove forth Tribulation Qi, projecting it outward—into that Chaos Phenomenon—to verify the Heavenly Dao.

Chu Xuan was drawn in as well.

The words slipped from his mouth.

"I, Chu Xuan, perceive that the Immortal Dao harms Heaven and Earth to replenish all living beings. It is not a path by which all things may endure. This is precisely the manifestation of Heavenly Dao Deficiency. Today, I establish the Heavenly Tribulation, the Three Disasters and Nine Calamities, to make the Heavenly Dao whole!"

"Any who become immortals must suffer the Three Disasters and Nine Calamities!"

"The Three Disasters are Wind Calamity, Fire Calamity, and Water Calamity. The Nine Calamities are hunger, thirst, the need for clothing, and being unable to attain liberation, remaining as ordinary mortals—countless shackles, returning to mortality and walking its path. These are the Five Decays of Heaven and Man!"

"Only by passing through them may one become an immortal, only then may one advance upon the Immortal Dao!"

"After becoming immortal, every realm brings a tribulation. Heavenly thunder descends upon the world, water and fire press in, wind and thunder cry out!"

"This is the Heavenly Tribulation Great Dao!"

"I, Qiangliang, shall govern the Thunder Tribulation..."

"I, Xizi, shall govern the Lightning Tribulation..."

"I, Zhurong, shall govern Fire Calamity..."

"I, Gonggong, shall govern Water Calamity..."

"I, Tianwu, shall govern Wind Calamity..."

"I, Shebishi, shall govern the Nine Calamities..."

"Heavenly Tribulation Great Dao!"

"Rise!"

Rumble!

Rolling Dao voices rang out as a vast will, as though it covered the entire Primordial Wilderness, descended from the unseen and bestowed its blessing.

A profound joy, a soaring exhilaration, arose in the hearts of all throughout the Primordial Wilderness.

Meanwhile, outside, the entire Primordial Wilderness was still focused on the establishment of the Demon Heavenly Court.
