The Primordial Violet Qi

After the tribulation ended, it was time to break through to Grand Unity, right? Zhunti was more concerned about **'s cultivation. Lu Tian nodded: The accumulation of many years is sufficient, it is time. The realm that was once out of reach is now within reach.

Lu Tian sighed slightly, then continued to watch the battle with his two masters.

The experts of the Witch and Demon races were fighting fiercely, and it was difficult to distinguish between them for a while.

Just as both sides were at a stalemate, an anomaly occurred outside the Thirty-Third Heaven!

The Sun Star suddenly dimmed. It turned out that Peerless Experts were fighting on it, causing the entire star to lose its light!

The master and his two disciples turned their attention.

A giant, supporting the sky and the earth, manifested its great witch true form. Stars flowed between its fingers, and it struck the Sun Star with a palm!

And the Sun Star also erupted with earth-shattering power--

A nine-headed divine bird appeared in the sky, stabilizing the Sun Star, which was on the verge of collapse.

It glared at a certain secret place on the star, then suddenly raised its hand and summoned a blood-colored long sword, exuding immense killing intent!

"Although the Witch Slaying Sword is not yet fully formed..."

"It's more than enough to kill a mere great witch like you!"

"Since you ruined my tempering process, you will be the first sacrifice for this sword!"

Gui Che roared and charged at Kuafu with the sword!

Kuafu did not dodge, relying on the sturdiness of his true form to meet the attack head-on.

Who knew that a flash of blood would pass--

The great witch true form, known as indestructible, was actually split by the sword!

Kuafu's eyes widened in anger, and he roared, trying to snatch the sword and counterattack.

Gui Che seized the opportunity and struck again. The second sword already heavily wounded him!

The Witch and Demon experts fighting below sensed the anomaly. Dijiang was about to rescue them, but the Eastern Emperor Bell shattered space-time, blocking his path.

As one side weakened and the other grew stronger, Kuafu, who had lost the advantage of his physical body, still fought to the death without retreating.

Gui Che battled with him for three years and finally completely annihilated him with the Witch Slaying Sword, destroying both his body and spirit!

The Demon Race paid the price of nine princes to exchange for the fall of a great witch from the Witch Clan.

The heavens and earth were shaken, and the blood feud between the two races could no longer be resolved--

This war, which had lasted for eternity, would finally come to an end!

The decisive battle between the Witches and Demons had reached its climax, and the outcome was about to be revealed.

Because of Kuafu's death, the great witches of the Witch Clan fell into a frenzy, fighting the Demon Race with utter disregard.

The master and his two disciples had been observing in secret all along.

They had other plans amidst the Witch-Demon War, waiting for the decisive battle between the two races to seize an opportunity for profit.

The Demon Race experts were finally repelled, and the battle temporarily ceased. During this time, countless Grand Unity Golden Immortals had fallen.

The flames of war had spread throughout the Primordial World and could no longer be extinguished.

With the all-out war ignited, no one could stop it!

On this day, Lu Tian was chatting with his two masters.

Jieyin and Zhunti suddenly looked solemn.

They looked at each other and hesitated, saying, "How could this be..."

Seeing their hesitation, Lu Tian knew something had changed.

The Witch-Demon War was in full swing, what else could be called a "major event"?

Just as he was pondering, he suddenly heard Jieyin say, "Disciple, come with us to Purple Heaven Palace."

"The Dao Ancestor has summoned the Six Sages to an audience and specifically ordered us to bring you."

Dao Ancestor? Hongjun?!

Lu Tian's heart trembled violently, and his thoughts surged.

Hongjun actually wanted to see him?!

Although he had long known he would catch the Dao Ancestor's eye, he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly!

He quickly reviewed his actions in the Primordial World:

Since the discussion of the Dao in Kunlun, the Witches, Demons, Humans, and even the Sages had all been involved with him.

Fortunately, relying on his foresight, his actions had been relatively thorough and had not revealed any fatal flaws.

"Act according to the situation," Zhunti's telepathic message interrupted his thoughts.

The three immediately flew towards the Thirty-Third Heaven.

Lu Tian suppressed his miscellaneous thoughts--if Hongjun really intended to make a move, there would be no chance of survival within the Primordial World.

It was better to face him calmly and try to understand the Dao Ancestor's true intentions.

After all, the name "Hongjun" itself is the highest form of suppression in the Primordial World!

The Purple Firmament Palace arrived in an instant.

"Jieyin, Zhunti, we pay respects to Master!"

"Grand-disciple Lu Tian pays respects to Grand-Master!"

A faint voice came from within the palace gates: "Enter."

Haotian and Jade Pond pushed open the palace doors, stepping aside to let the three enter.

Lu Tian followed his Master into the Purple Firmament Palace, and upon looking up, saw Hongjun seated high on the Cloud Platform.

The Dao Ancestor's majesty was indeed extraordinary.

With just a fleeting glance, Lu Tian felt his soul tremble, almost having his mind captured by the Dao Charm flowing around him.

A clear cough, like the ringing of morning bells and evening drums.

Lu Tian suddenly came to his senses, standing silently behind his Master, as still as a pine tree.

Jieyin and Zhunti had just taken their seats cross-legged when Nuwa arrived gracefully.

A moment later, the Three Pure Ones arrived together. As their gazes swept over the figure behind Jieyin and Zhunti, their pupils all contracted slightly.

Several probing gazes felt like thorns on his back.

Lu Tian kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, not daring to make the slightest transgression within the Purple Heaven Palace.

Since all were present, they should listen to the Dao with a calm heart.

Hongjun lightly brushed his wide sleeves and suddenly smiled at the two from the West: "This Witch-Demon War, your contributions are indispensable."

Nuwa's gaze shifted, shooting towards Jieyin and Zhunti like lightning.

"Master's praise, I dare not accept it."

Jieyin's smiling wrinkles were filled with folds; such commendation was truly rare.

"Especially your grand-disciple..."

The Dao Ancestor's gaze fell upon Lu Tian for the first time. The young man quickly looked up, revealing just the right amount of apprehension.

"Grand-Master flatters me, I..."

"Why be so modest? Hongjun tapped his fingertip on the Cloud Platform. Being able to uncover the secret of the Demon Race's Witch Slaying Sword, such courage is beyond that of ordinary people."

The expressions of the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa changed instantly.

The scene of Gui Che wielding the sword to slay a Great Witch on the battlefield was still fresh in their minds—without that ominous sword, the outcome was still unknown.

So, the Witch Clan received this news because of Young Friend Lu's actions.

Nuwa's lips curved into a smile, but her eyes seemed to be quenched with ice.

Lu Tian's neck hairs stood on end, as if a poisonous snake's tongue had licked his spine.

The Three Pure Ones' gazes were like torches, their astonishment even greater.

The Demon Race had hidden this secret flawlessly, and they still hadn't noticed it. Did this little disciple from the West have such capabilities?

Lu Tian stood behind his Master, a smile on his lips.

He was also full of doubts.

Hongjun specifically mentioned this matter and even pointed out his name, most likely intending to rein him in due to his recent frequent actions.

Having the other four Sages target him was definitely not a good thing...

If he still wanted to act in secret using the names of his two Masters in the future, it probably wouldn't be so easy!

However...

The end of the Witch-Demon War would be the Investiture of the Gods.

It seemed he didn't need to sneak around and make small moves anymore?

"I summoned you all here today for no important reason."

"I temporarily do not have the leisure to monitor the Primordial World. You all need to help me stabilize the situation in the Primordial World and prevent the Witch-Demon War from exceeding controllable limits."

"As Heavenly Dao Sages, you should understand the importance of this matter."

Hongjun's words had hidden meanings.

The Six Sages in the hall all showed thoughtful expressions.

"We understand, please rest assured, Master."

"We will definitely follow Master's instructions and control the direction of the calamity."

The Six Sages responded one after another.

Yet, each harbored their own thoughts.

Especially the Three Pure Ones.

Their gazes towards Lu Tian were quite subtle.

Lu Tian felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, his mind racing.

Hongjun has no time to monitor the Primordial World?

What kind of major event could make him withdraw at such a critical juncture of the calamity, even without the mental energy to oversee its progress?

Could it be Merging with the Dao?

Is he at the crucial stage of Merging with the Dao?

Lu Tian speculated to himself.

Aside from a momentous event like Merging with the Dao, he couldn't think of anything else that would warrant Hongjun's attention.

If that's the case, the Western Teachings might be able to seize another great opportunity amidst the Witch-Demon War!

Lu Tian was contemplating how to profit further from the Witch-Demon War.

Suddenly, he heard Hongjun finish his pronouncements and wave them away, essentially dismissing them.

"Alright, these are the matters for which I summoned you all."

"As for the specific arrangements, discuss them amongst yourselves."

Upon hearing this, the Six Sages immediately bowed and took their leave, one after another, departing from the Purple Heaven Palace.

Lu Tian followed his Master out of the grand hall.

Although Hongjun hadn't said much this time, he had revealed a considerable amount of crucial information.

Since Hongjun had decided to step back and let the Sages handle the Witch-Demon Calamity themselves, it was time for everyone to showcase their Supernatural abilities.

Lu Tian's Divine Sense probed into his personal space, gazing at that streak of purple energy.

This item...

It was the sacred artifact bestowed upon him by the system the moment he arrived at Purple Heaven Palace.

If this item were revealed, it would undoubtedly cause a massive stir, shaking the entire Primordial World!

It might even trigger a cataclysmic battle no less significant than the Witch-Demon War!

This streak of purple energy was precisely what all Quasi-Saint experts dreamed of—Primordial Violet Qi!

It could even be considered a Saint position.

The Six Sages of the Primordial World all attained sainthood through Merit.

The core of achieving sainthood through Merit was this Primordial Violet Qi—one needed to connect with the Heavenly Dao through the violet qi, gather immeasurable Merit, and then engrave their True Spirit into the Heavenly Dao to ascend to a Saint position!

In other words, to become a Heavenly Dao Sage, Primordial Violet Qi was an indispensable item.

However...

To whom should this item be given?

Lu Tian had already found his path to enlightenment. His Chaos Demon God roots, the Chaos Bead, and the world of reality and illusion could all help him emulate Pangu's creation of the heavens and earth, achieving sainthood through sheer power and directly reaching the level of Primordial Chaos Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

This was the superior choice.

In comparison, achieving sainthood through Merit seemed inferior.

Although attaining enlightenment and becoming a Sage was already a great fortune...

There were still differences in quality.

To Lu Tian, this Primordial Violet Qi had become a dispensable item.

As he was contemplating, he suddenly felt a drastic change in his surroundings—

Jieyin, who had been chatting and walking alongside the other Sages, suddenly stopped.

No, all Six Sages halted simultaneously!

Before Lu Tian could react, he saw the sky violently shatter!

A sight even more terrifying than the previous clash of Saintly might unfolded: a giant hole tore open in the dome of the Thirty-Third Heaven, and the cracks continued to spread wildly!

The waters of the Celestial River poured down like a waterfall, sweeping downwards!

In the blink of an eye, the scene before him transformed.

When he looked again, he found himself at the foot of a majestic mountain.

Buzhou Mountain!

Lu Tian's heart trembled, and he immediately understood—

This was the calamity of Gonggong angrily colliding with Buzhou Mountain!

Without hesitation, he broke free from Jieyin's protection, flashed to Zhunti's side, and transmitted his voice:

Master, quickly head to the North Sea!

Time was pressing, and there was no room for further explanation.

He had been planning for this day for a long time.

Zhunti's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not press for details.

He sent a divine sense to Jieyin alone before taking Lu Tian and breaking through the void towards the North Sea.

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa all glanced sideways.

"Fellow Daoist, this esteemed disciple of yours seems to be up to something astonishing again." Dao De Tianzun's tone was indifferent, and he even split off an avatar to follow closely behind.

Just as Jieyin was about to stop them, Yuanshi Tianzun's aura pressed down like a deep, towering mountain.

Jieyin's expression shifted several times before he finally shook his head with a smile, "My disciple is unruly. You all have seen me laugh."

Hongjun's decree from that day was now fully evident.

The Three Pure Ones no longer dared to view him as an ordinary junior. They had already placed Lu Tian in a crucial position in the game.

This child truly possesses extraordinary fortune.

"I was wondering what the matter was. So it's those brutish shamans of the Witch Clan fighting here, and they actually broke Buzhou Mountain!"

Nuwa suddenly spoke, drawing the attention of the four.

"Now that Buzhou Mountain has collapsed and the Thirty-Third Heaven is shattered, why don't you fellow Daoists first try to repair the gaps in the sky vault?"

"If we delay further, I fear the tribulation for all living beings will be unpredictable!"

"That makes sense! Fellow Daoists, do not be distracted. Mending the heavens is the urgent matter. This is immeasurable merit!" Jieyin Daoist quickly agreed.

He only needed to keep the Three Pure Ones occupied, allowing Zhunti to take Lu Tian away.
