Primordial Beginning Dao Scripture! Purification-Creation Dao!

Five Estate Temple, beneath the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Lingxiao sat cross-legged atop a prayer cushion, sacred radiance flickering around him. Spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in from all directions, transforming into mana that flowed torrentially through his meridians.

"The Ginseng Fruit Tree truly deserves to be called a top-grade innate spiritual root. Comprehending the Dao rhythm contained within it has given me a better understanding of my own Dao. Even my early Primordial Unity Golden Immortal cultivation has become more solid."

"But if I want to raise my cultivation, I'll need a worthwhile opportunity. Forget it—cultivation cannot be rushed for quick success. Better to advance steadily and surely!"

Lingxiao opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

When he had first transmigrated into the Primordial World, he had comprehended a cultivation technique from the Twelve-Grade Purifying White Lotus, known as the World-Purifying Sacred Radiance Scripture. It possessed the power to purify the world's filth and bloom with sacred creation.

Relying on this natal cultivation technique, Lingxiao's cultivation had steadily improved. He had later surpassed the rest, becoming one of the few Interception Sect disciples with Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation.

But afterward, in order to cleanse the karmic slaughter and sin from the Interception Sect's fortune, he had endured countless hardships, and even his Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation had been lost.

"After refining the Chaos Green Lotus's origin and elevating my innate foundation, the World-Purifying Sacred Radiance Scripture has indeed become even more profound and mysterious. Yet I've always felt as though some shackles are binding me."

"Perhaps this cultivation technique no longer suits my current Dao!"

Lingxiao frowned slightly, aware that the matter of his cultivation technique was rather troublesome.

When innate beings were born, the laws of the Heavenly Dao would evolve a Dao suitable for their cultivation. This Dao was mysterious beyond mystery; it was both the foundation of one's very being, while cultivation techniques would emerge alongside the Dao's evolution.

For example, the Grand Pure One Laozi's Grand Pure Dao Method, and the Golden Core Path he passed down to humanity!

The problem Lingxiao now faced was that after his innate foundation transformed, his comprehension of his own Dao had undergone earth-shaking changes, while the cultivation technique he practiced could no longer easily match his Dao.

The Dao was comprehension, while a cultivation technique was what cultivated one's realm and cultivation!

[ Ding! The god-tier selection mission has been refreshed successfully! ]

[ Choice One: Return to the Interception Sect forcefully and prevent Daoist Duobao from abolishing the Interception Sect Heavenly Rules. Reward: top-grade innate spiritual item, Heaven-Opening Earth Spirit. ]

[ Choice Two: Persuade Lord Tongtian to establish new Interception Sect Heavenly Rules. Reward: one Holy Mother Banner. ]

[ Choice Three: Turn a blind eye and allow the Interception Sect Heavenly Rules to be abolished. Reward: Primordial Beginning Dao Scripture. ]

The system's voice suddenly echoed through Lingxiao's mind.

"Abolishing the Interception Sect Heavenly Rules? Interesting!"

"If there are no Heavenly Rules to restrain them, the Interception Sect disciples will surely stir up storms throughout the Primordial World. When that happens, even all of Kunlun Mountain will be thrown into turmoil—chickens flying and dogs leaping."

"The Three Purities' split is drawing near as well..."

Lingxiao remained as calm as a gentle breeze beneath drifting clouds, a faint smile curling at his lips.

Ever since severing his karma with the Interception Sect, he had become truly carefree. Watching the Interception Sect steadily decline had even made his Dao heart more open and clear.

"System, I choose Three!"

"Just from the four words 'Primordial Beginning Dao Scripture,' I can sense how extraordinary this cultivation technique is."

Lingxiao made his decision without the slightest hesitation.

The Heaven-Opening Earth Spirit was temporarily useless to him, and even a dog wouldn't want the Holy Mother Banner.

[ Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Primordial Beginning Dao Scripture! ]

Within the system space.

Countless Great Dao runes appeared out of thin air. Accompanied by flickering dark-gold light, they evolved into an ancient jade slip, every gleam carrying the true essence of the Great Dao.

With a stir of his divine sense, Lingxiao connected with the Primordial Beginning Dao Scripture.

"At the beginning of the universe's evolution, there were the Innate Five Tais!"

"Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, Taiji! Taichu was when qi first appeared!"

"The Dao of Taichu was born during chaos's evolution, before the Three Thousand Great Daos came into being. It can contain the myriad methods of all heavens and the Three Thousand Great Dao laws, so it can naturally align with my own Dao!"

The worry between Lingxiao's brows scattered like smoke and clouds. Without hesitation, he absorbed the Primordial Beginning Dao Scripture into his Primordial Spirit. The jade slip shattered as though creating the world, and immediately afterward, radiance enveloped his Primordial Spirit.

In the blink of an eye!

His body, Primordial Spirit, true spirit, and Dao all underwent the cleansing of the Primordial Beginning Dao Scripture.

"With the innate foundation of the Twenty-Four-Grade Purifying White Lotus, my comprehension can rival that of the foremost innate divine beings. But with the Primordial Beginning Dao Scripture's enhancement now, compared to this, I was like a raw recruit before."

"I'll seize this chance to comprehend my own Dao and ascend to the utmost sublimation!"

Lingxiao murmured inwardly.

His spirit wandered beyond the heavens, the Five Qi returning to the Origin.

The phantom of a Purifying White Lotus bloomed behind him, swiftly expanding until it spanned over ten thousand li across the skies. Its sacred, pure radiance descended throughout Longevity Mountain, purifying every trace of evil and malignity.

Even many plants, trees, stones, and forests evolved consciousness at this moment.

"What kind of Dao technique is young friend Lingxiao cultivating?"

"The innate foundation of the Twenty-Four-Grade Purifying White Lotus is truly heaven-defying. As that holy light falls upon me, the karmic burden and causality staining me are continuously dissipating. Even my affinity with that divine object has improved."

Zhenyuanzi and Daoist Hongyun appeared beneath the Ginseng Fruit Tree. Looking at Lingxiao a hundred zhang away, the former sucked in a cold breath and sighed in disbelief.

Within his Primordial Spirit, the Grandmist Purple Qi leapt with joy. Strands of laws, rules, and merit fused together, becoming part of Zhenyuanzi's cultivation and Great Dao.

Hearing this, Daoist Hongyun slowly said, "After encountering that scheme, inner demons evolved within my Dao heart. For countless ages, I have been forcibly suppressing them."

"Now, the heart demon is visibly withering away. It should only take a moment before it is completely worn away, and my Dao Heart will be flawless once more."

As he spoke, Daoist Hongyun's bearing grew ever more profound.

This was all thanks to Lingxiao!

Time passed.

Zhenyuanzi and Daoist Hongyun stood guard for Lingxiao while also receiving the baptism of the sacred radiance.

After a long while!

Resounding Dao chimes rang out from within Lingxiao's body. His cultivation had reached the mid-stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, and upon his Primordial Spirit, Great Dao markings had unexpectedly been engraved.

"A rise in cultivation is only secondary; one's own Great Dao is the foundation! Upon cultivating the Primordial Beginning Dao Scripture for the first time, I integrated everything I possessed and comprehended my natal Great Dao."

"Purification-Creation Dao!"

Lingxiao's Dao Heart was lucid, his spiritual platform immaculate.

The Purification-Creation Dao fused his former cultivation arts with the foundation of countless ages. This Great Dao stood apart from the Three Thousand Great Daos; it was a Great Dao he had created himself.

Purify all living beings, create the universe.

All things in the cosmos endlessly cycled from chaos to purity, from world destruction to rebirth.

Purity and turbidity alike had their order!

"If I cultivate this Dao to its ultimate extreme, my fortune will surely surpass every Heavenly Dao Saint. I may even take that step which even Pangu had never crossed."

"Though the Purification-Creation Dao is merely an embryonic form now, this Dao will certainly be realized!"

Lingxiao was high-spirited as the Dao charm around him receded.

The Purification-Creation Dao!

It suited the identity he would soon assume: the Eastern Pole Qinghua Emperor, also known as the Taiyi Savior Celestial Worthy!

Everything had its destined number in the unseen!

"Congratulations, little friend Lingxiao, on your breakthrough in cultivation and on finding your own natal Great Dao!"

A peaceful expression appeared on Zhenyuanzi's face as he spoke to Lingxiao.

Daoist Hongyun likewise offered his congratulations.

"This Dao is only in its infancy. This junior still has a long road ahead!"

"May I ask Immortal Zhenyuanzi, what is the Interception Sect's situation now?"

Lingxiao rose to his feet and asked Zhenyuanzi.

At those words!

Stroking his beard, Zhenyuanzi said with a mocking look, "During your period of cultivation, Daoist Duobao abolished the Interception Sect Heavenly Rules you established. Now, all the Interception Sect disciples have begun to stir."

"Kunlun Mountain has become a smoky miasma, and calamities are breaking out everywhere across the Primordial World. Take that Golden-Winged Great Roc, for instance—he secretly fled Kunlun Mountain, found a place of his own, and has been brazenly using humans as blood food."

"Lord Tongtian sees everything clearly, yet he no longer has any means to restrain them. He can only allow these Interception Sect disciples to recklessly brew disaster!"

As his words fell.

Before Lingxiao could fully digest them, Daoist Hongyun explained further, "Sha Qi is constantly surging between Heaven and Earth now. The ominous laws of the calamity have also coiled around the river of life, while heavenly secrets are gradually becoming obscure."

"The Investiture of the Gods Calamity is drawing ever closer. When that time comes, the many sects will contend against one another, and it will be another calamity for the myriad races of the Primordial World."

The Beast Calamity, the Dragon-Han First Calamity, the Witch-Demon Calamity.

Every calamity reshuffled both the living beings and the situation of the Primordial World. In a certain sense, Lord Tongtian's insistence on initiating the Investiture of the Gods Calamity was tantamount to casting all living beings into fire and water.

"The Investiture of the Gods Calamity is the great trend of the Primordial World; it can no longer be changed. However, this humble Daoist will fulfill his duty, slay demons and exterminate devils, and save all living beings."

"Immortal Zhenyuanzi, Senior Hongyun, this junior should be leaving for the Heavenly Court..."
