The Only Suspect, Tai Yi Attains the Dao
In the Purple Heaven Palace, Hongjun stared at the Sea of Blood with a gloomy expression. He had wanted to intervene, but considering the Great Dao, he decided not to take the risk.
We still have to give face to the Great Dao.
To intervene rashly without understanding the principles of the Great Dao is tantamount to courting death.
"Fortunately, even though they are newly born from the Earthly Dao, they are still suppressed by the Heavenly Dao; otherwise, there would be serious problems!"
"You wretched creature, there must be something fishy going on here!"
At this moment, Hongjun couldn't help but wonder why Houtu had sworn an oath to the Great Dao.
There's an 80% chance someone interfered.
In an instant, Hongjun began to suspect Ling Xiao. If someone was indeed interfering, Bi Liao was the prime suspect, or even the only suspect.
The other is the will of Pangu.
Third is the Willow Tree Spirit, Yang Mei.
The latter two possibilities are very small; after considering all the possibilities, Ling Xiao is still the most suspicious.
"This wretched child is utterly clueless, constantly flirting with death."
"As you wish, this time I will grant your wish and will not let you down."
A murderous intent flashed in Hongjun's eyes; he was preparing to take action himself.
However, before that, we should wait for those traitors to be resurrected.
After a brief silence, the figures of the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhun Ti emerged from the depths of the Purple Heaven Palace.
Six saints died, but only Five Saints appeared; Kunpeng was nowhere to be seen.
Even the Three Pure Ones and the Two Western Sages were extremely surprised. They had not expected that the Dao Ancestor would use this method to eliminate the Kunpeng.
Although Sage whose primordial spirit is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao can be resurrected, if he is not resurrected and is directly sealed, then he is as good as dead.
The Dao Ancestor's move was so brilliant that all the saints could only exclaim Gao Ming, and also a little... shameless.
"Teacher, I have failed in my duties and have not done my job properly. Please punish me."
The five Sage — Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, Zhun Ti— said in unison and performed the disciple's rites.
They uttered beautiful words, but they knew in their hearts that since the Dao Ancestor had resurrected them, it was equivalent to forgiving them.
"You have indeed disappointed your master. Despite having an innate advantage, you still cannot subdue the Golden Crow."
"You have failed in your duty to maintain order in the Primordial World and to guard the four directions. However, the wicked Ling Xiao is an extraordinary being, so your defeat at his hands is understandable."
"Right now, you all need to fulfill your duties and atone for your crimes!"
Hongjun said expressionlessly, "Things have come to this point, we can't just replace these few wicked disciples."
Thank you for your kindness, teacher.
The saints expressed their gratitude in unison, displaying a harmonious master-disciple relationship.
At this moment, Laozi's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Teacher, has Houtu already Reincarnation?"
He had just checked the situation in the Primordial World and discovered the existence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Upon hearing this, the remaining Sage also showed surprise, and then they all looked towards the Primordial World, where they indeed saw the Six Paths of Reincarnation of Reincarnation standing in the Sea of Blood.
I couldn't help but feel a little alarmed.
That's way too fast!
In the brief moment of their deaths, Houtu established the Reincarnation.
It was as if they were afraid the other party would steal it.
Upon hearing the Reincarnation, Hongjun's expression darkened slightly, and he said calmly, "That's right, Houtu has already transformed into Reincarnation."
"Excellent! In this way, the Primordial World will be perfected, and the Heavenly Dao will flourish!" Zhun Ti with great joy, almost ready to offer his congratulations.
He was quick and nimble in flattering others.
As Sage, one naturally understands the profound significance of Houtu Reincarnation.
But to Zhun Ti's surprise, Dao Ancestor seemed angry after hearing his words, and his face darkened.
What's going on?
I'm scared! I'm scared!
The other Sage also sensed something was amiss; the Dao Ancestor's reaction was somewhat frightening. Had something major happened?
Hongjun remained silent for a moment before telling the truth: even if he didn't say it, these rebellious disciples would still find out when they returned.
After hearing this, the Three Pure Ones and the Two Western Sages finally understood why the Dao Ancestor was angry.
Zhun Ti was even more uneasy, inwardly cursing himself for being too talkative.
"Houtu Reincarnation not by swearing an oath to the Heavenly Dao, but to the Great Dao!"
The impact of this can be significant or minor.
What's most outrageous is that, according to what the Dao Ancestor said, it seems that Ling Xiao was behind it all.
It's like a persistent ghost!
"Teacher, Ling Xiao, this wretched boy, has repeatedly challenged the might of Heaven and must not be forgiven!"
Yuanshi clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice.
"Please, teacher, intervene and subdue this wretched creature!"
At this moment, Yuanshi realized his own limitations. He knew he couldn't possibly defeat Ling Xiao on his own; the two were no longer on the same level.
I don't want to admit it, but the facts are undeniable.
The only solution now is to ask the Dao Ancestor for help.
Yuanshi sensed anger and murderous intent in Hongjun's words, indicating that he was extremely dissatisfied with Ling Xiao.
At this moment, Purple Heaven Palace was unusually calm, with a somewhat heavy atmosphere. After a short while, under the expectant gazes of all the saints, the Dao Ancestor slowly nodded, his voice ancient and majestic.
"Very well, now that things have come to this, only your master can subdue this wretched child, Ling Xiao!"
Although the voice was not loud, it carried an invincible will and spirit.
Hongjun had already planned to take action against Ling Xiao, so it would have been better if Yuanshi had made the suggestion.
This will be a perfect opportunity for those traitors to witness how he defeated the enemy and subdued the wicked Golden Crow.
"The teacher is wise!"
The saints chanted in unison, their faces filled with excitement. With the Dao Ancestor personally taking action, the Golden Crow was certain to die.
Outside, all living beings were in a state of shock due to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The Sun Star, high in the sky, suddenly emitted a vast aura, followed by a series of strange phenomena.
These strange phenomena rose and fell endlessly, Chaos energy permeated the air, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind surged, yin and yang were indistinct, and the entire Sun Star was shrouded in the Chaos Sea, which was extremely terrifying.
Billions of living beings were shocked, and powerful beings from all walks of life were even more astonished, sighing and lamenting.
This aura was not unfamiliar; they had sensed it not long ago.
It's exactly the same as Di Jun's ascension to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
"The third Star God of the Sun Star has attained enlightenment..."
"What's meant to happen will happen. After Tai Yi attained the Primordial Origin, the entire Golden Crow clan became saints!"
At this moment, in the Primordial World, billions of living beings were once again dominated by the Golden Crow.
Some powerful figures were filled with envy and jealousy, so much so that they were almost driven mad by hatred.
Deep within the Sun Star, Ling Xiao Di Jun stood side by side, gazing at the place where Tai Yi had secluded himself, waiting for him to emerge.
"My second brother has finally lived up to expectations and attained the Primordial Origin, but unfortunately he's still a step behind me... Haha..."
Di Jun said in a serious tone, but then suddenly burst out laughing, unable to hold it in.
It's a joyful thing for one's own brother to attain enlightenment, but what's even more gratifying is that the eldest brother has surpassed his younger brother, without losing his authority and demeanor as an elder brother.
Ling Xiao chuckled and said, "Although my second brother is a step behind you, you are not necessarily his match."
"The Dao that Tai Yi has proven... is quite powerful!"
Suddenly... Di Jun couldn't laugh anymore; he sensed it too.
With a loud commotion, Tai Yi broke through the protective barrier of his secluded cultivation area and flew out, accompanied by earth-shattering laughter.
"Haha... I, Tai Yi, have finally attained the Dao of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal!"
