Ziwei Attains the Dao, Shocking the Sages

The Three Pure Ones' expressions changed drastically as they looked towards the direction of the Fire Cloud Cave. There, a powerful aura was expanding, Kongtong Seal was releasing a torrent of fortune, which was incredibly vast, as if it were resonating with something.

Above the Fire Cloud Cave, a supreme divine law flows, breaking through the nine heavens and illuminating the boundless universe.

A terrifying aura swept across the world, shaking the very fabric of existence.

At this moment, all living beings on the Primordial World were alarmed. They gazed into the endless deep sky, towards the direction of the Fire Cloud Cave, where the scene was terrifying, as if the world was being created.

That power, that oppressive aura, made all living beings tremble and yearn to worship.

Heavenly Court.

Haotian, who was sitting cross-legged in the palace, was suddenly startled. He looked in one direction with surprise, seemingly lost in thought. Then he took out the mirror bestowed upon him by the Dao Ancestor, which he now named the Haotian Mirror.

The Haotian Mirror looks up at the nine heavens, down at the Nine Underworlds, and surveys the Primordial World.

The mirror light swept across the heavens and earth, finally settling above the Fire Cloud Cave. Here, strange phenomena floated and swirled, covering the sky and earth, and even space itself was shattering. It was too terrifying; only those with great supernatural powers could see the truth with their naked eyes.

With the wondrous power of the Haotian Mirror, passing through layers of obstacles and illusions, a purple figure could be vaguely seen, emanating an extremely powerful aura.

"Is this... a path to attaining the Primordial Origin?"

"Ziwei?"

Haotian was shocked and stood up abruptly. He took the Haotian Mirror and shone it on the Fire Cloud Cave like an archaeologist who had discovered an amazing artifact.

Just then, the figure in the mirror suddenly raised its head, coldly looking at Haotian through the mirror, and then let out a cold shout. Haotian's mind trembled, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and flew away, almost shattering the mirror.

"Primordial Origin... Ziwei actually broke through to the Primordial Origin!?"

Haotian was shocked and roared inwardly. Only Primordial Origin Sage could have such a method, severely injuring a Quasi-Sage with a single glance across endless time and space.

"How is this possible!"

Why is this happening?

Haotian was talking hysterically to himself, his mentality was on the verge of collapse. He had thought that Fire Cloud Cave was Ziwei's final destination, and he could only stay there until the end of time.

His old rival has fallen so low, while he himself has become the ruler of the Heavenly Court, ruling the Primordial World. Although he currently holds only a nominal title, it was only a matter of time.

Everything seemed so wonderful, but now that Ziwei has attained enlightenment, everything has turned upside down.

Even the Lord of Heavenly Court cannot compare to the preciousness of Primordial Origin Sage.

The two are not comparable.

Haotian's eyes turned red with envy and jealousy; he couldn't contain the turmoil in his heart.

Meanwhile, Mount Sumeru.

"Something terrible has happened!"

Jieyin Zhun Ti's expressions changed slightly as they sensed the aura of Ziwei's enlightenment. This was too sudden; just moments ago, the Three Pure Ones were giving pointers on the world.

However, at this time, Ziwei attained the Primordial Origin. What does this mean?

The impact is enormous!

"I sense a conspiracy. Without any reason or warning, how could this wretched creature have attained the Primordial Origin? Was Laozi intervention to trap him in the Fire Cloud Cave just for show?"

Zhunti's Zhun Ti was solemn; the matter was of great importance, and he was thinking of things he didn't want to recall.

"This is probably the work of that wicked Ling Xiao; he left behind a scheme to disgust us even before leaving the Primordial World!"

"Damn it!" Jieyin coldly shouted. He had almost forgotten about the Golden Crow, and the memories in his mind were gradually fading. But now, stimulated by this, they became clear again.

"Don't panic, with the Dao Ancestor here, Ling Xiao wouldn't dare to show up." Zhun Ti frowned and said in a deep voice. Although he was very flustered, the presence of the Dao Ancestor was his greatest comfort.

Jieyin nodded in agreement.

On Mount Shouyang.

Yuanshi's expression shifted, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes. He looked at Laozi and asked, "Something has happened at Fire Cloud Cave. It seems that that wretched Ziwei is about to attain the Primordial Origin?"

Laozi once said that Fire Cloud Cave could not escape his control, and everything was within his grasp.

This doesn't seem to be under control at all right now.

The fact that Ziwei was imprisoned in the Fire Cloud Cave was orchestrated by Laozi; no one understood it better than him.

If not him, who else should we ask?

Laozi was speechless, staring at the Fire Cloud Cave with a grim expression. "How is this possible... The Fire Cloud Cave has a magic array that I set up, capable of sealing off a whole area."

"Under such circumstances, how did this wicked creature attain enlightenment?"

His face was more pale than ever before, even more so than when Xuandu died.

"How do you attain enlightenment? You've probably forgotten who Ziwei is, his attendant!"

Tongtian spoke, his gaze fixed meaningfully on the Fire Cloud Cave.

Upon hearing this, Laozi and Yuanshi's expressions shifted slightly, then they fell silent.

If anyone could do this, besides Dao Ancestor, only Ling Xiao could.

"Could it be... that Ling Xiao has come to the Primordial World?" Yuanshi said in a low voice after a moment of silence. At this moment, he felt a long-lost thrill, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

"Unlikely. In the Primordial World, every little thing is governed by the Heavenly Dao. If the Golden Crow were to arrive, Teacher would know immediately."

Laozi immediately shook his head in denial.

"In my opinion, this is a contingency plan left by Ling Xiao, intending to let Ziwei, this wretched Primordial Origin and control the destiny of the Human Race."

"But all of this is in vain; the will of Heaven cannot be defied!"

He was certain and gradually calmed down.

The group of powerful figures on Mount Shouyang were already in a daze as they watched.

Those who had just been appointed Human Emperor, including the Duke of the East, began to feel fear, worry, and unease.

Ziwei, the former Human Emperor, has now attained the Primordial Origin. Does he still have a chance?

While they were worried, they also felt a strange sense of joy. Ziwei was the previous Human Emperor, and now he had attained the Primordial Origin.

This further confirms the saying that Human Emperor can become saints.

Even if I am imprisoned in the Fire Cloud Cave after becoming emperor, it will be worth it as long as I can attain sainthood.

As everyone was lost in thought, the aura of the Fire Cloud Cave grew even more magnificent and profound, proving that Ziwei's Dao had approached perfection.

On the other side, at the Purple Heaven Palace.

After being forced to leave Mount Shouyang, Nuwa finally arrived at the Purple Heaven Palace, met the Dao Ancestor, and told him about the evil deeds of the Three Pure Ones.

Hongjun sat upright on the Nine-Layer Cloud, his eyes closed as if meditating, neither sad nor happy, ethereal and otherworldly, as if he were about to merge with the Dao.

He wasn't surprised at all by Three Pure Ones's actions.

Because he tacitly approved of his Laozi doing this.

The reason is simple: the Three Pure Ones are much more obedient than Nuwa, and they truly step up when needed.

"... Please investigate, teacher!"

Nuwa's expression was solemn, but her eyes burned with anger.

Hongjun nodded slightly and said, "I am aware of this matter. You and the Three Pure Ones are all my disciples, and you should have gotten along harmoniously, but now you almost killed each other."

"I will punish the Three Pure Ones to set things right."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa's eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn't help but frown slightly, her thoughts sinking as well.

The Dao Ancestor's words seemed to say a lot, but in reality, they were nothing at all.

It's just a simple case of infighting, with punishments imposed but nothing substantial.

Nuwa was indignant and about to speak when she suddenly noticed that the Dao Ancestor's face was ashen.

What happened?
