The Primordial Era Calamity is the Pangu Dao Calamity

"Alas, I wonder how many times my disciple can use the Great Dao Judgment," Hongjun said with a look of regret.

When the Heavenly Dao heard this, its face turned green. Damn it, how many times? If it happens again, this Heavenly Dao will be dismantled.

"Hongjun, I am the Primordial Era's Heavenly Dao..."

"Great Dao Judgment."

"Hongjun, sooner or later you and your disciple..."

"Great Dao Judgment."

The Heavenly Dao was depressed. Hongjun kept saying "Great Dao Judgment," no matter what the Heavenly Dao said.

He only had one response: Great Dao Judgment.

It almost made the Heavenly Dao so angry it would commit suicide.

"Hongjun, I haven't treated you badly, have I? Advise your disciple not to always oppose me. It's not easy being a Heavenly Dao," the Heavenly Dao said, seeing that threats were ineffective.

It switched to appeasement.

"Great Dao Judgment."

I, damn it, are you two master and disciple going to keep using the Great Dao Judgment?

There was nothing it could do. The Heavenly Dao decided to leave first. It didn't know what medicine Hongjun had taken.

He was impervious to both soft and hard tactics, his mouth full of nothing but "Great Dao Judgment."

After the Heavenly Dao left, Hongjun's Primordial Spirit's hearty laughter echoed throughout the Heavenly Dao Space.

In the Purple Cloud Palace.

After Hongjun restrained his smile, he said with a chuckle, "When the Great Dao left, it gave a small gift. From now on, the Heavenly Dao cannot enter this Purple Cloud Palace."

"What? Such a good thing? Master, why didn't you say so earlier?" Qing Xuanzi complained. He was just planning how to discuss it with Hongjun.

The Great Dao directly sent the pillow, it was too thoughtful.

"Nüwa and Qing Xuanzi stay, the others may leave," Hongjun said, waving his hand.

Jie Yin and Zhunti's faces were extremely ugly, as if they had eaten something unpleasant. Was he already chasing people away?

But they couldn't complain. One must know that the one on the high platform was the true Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

If you uttered a few words of complaint, it was estimated that Hongjun wouldn't even need to act.

The remaining five disciples could easily handle them and make them obedient.

Jie Yin and Zhunti left with pained expressions.

Laozi smiled and glanced at Qing Xuanzi, saying, "Junior Brother, you're so close, why don't you come over to my place for a sit?"

"Hehe, Senior Brother Laozi, we have plenty of time."

Laozi patted Qing Xuanzi's shoulder and left.

Tongtian punched Qing Xuanzi and said, "You're good, kid. This move was beautiful. I'll try it next time."

"Don't, Senior Brother Tongtian, you are a Primordial Era Saint. Don't use it unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, regardless of the outcome, you won't escape the charge of disrespecting the Heavenly Dao."

"Indeed, being a Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal is still more free and easy."

Tongtian sighed and also left.

Yuanshi bowed properly to Hongjun, then glanced at Qing Xuanzi with a complicated expression before leaving.

The Three Pure Ones left.

Qing Xuanzi stepped forward and said, "Master, you already know about the Four Sacred Beasts on the Primordial Membrane. After discussing with Nüwa, this disciple decided to let Houtu control them, but Pangu Hall isn't safe either."

Hongjun smiled and said, "It's fine, they are just Heavenly Dao puppets."

Saying that, he took out a pill and said, "This pill is called the Heaven Deceiving Pill. Just place this pill on the edge of the blood pool like a Chaos seed."

Qing Xuanzi happily stepped forward and accepted the Heaven Deceiving Pill. He knew Hongjun would definitely have a solution.

Otherwise, leaving the Chaos Clock there indefinitely wasn't a solution either.

"The general trend of the Heavenly Dao has taken shape and cannot be changed. What you need to do is complete the layout of the Qing Tian Plan without leaving any trace. Actually, the Heavenly Dao allowing the Karma Fire Red Lotus to appear was a bad move. Otherwise, if it initiated the Human-Demon Calamity now, it would be a matter of course."

"Human-Demon Calamity?" This was the first time Qing Xuanzi had heard this term.

"Yes, its purpose was to target you and the Three Thousand Congenital Humans, but it was thwarted by this bad move."

How intelligent was Qing Xuanzi? He understood just from Hongjun's few words.

The war between the Witch Race and the Demon Clan was the major premise, and the mutual destruction of the Witch Race and the Demon Clan was the grand finale.

To achieve this outcome, the strength of the Witch Race and the Demon Clan had to be similar.

Originally, the Human Race's great calamity was for the Demon Clan to refine the Witch Slaughtering Sword to counter the Witch Race.

Unexpectedly, Qing Xuanzi emerged, causing an unexpected turn in this minor trend.

So, the Heavenly Dao had two options: one was to initiate the calamity, causing hardship for the Human Race, and re-refine the Witch Slaughtering Sword.

The second was to enhance the strength of the Demon Clan, such as bestowing the Karma Fire Red Lotus to counter the Witch Race.

The Heavenly Dao, however, did both at once.

Wouldn't that elevate the Demon Clan to the heavens? It would completely fail to achieve the goal of the mutual destruction of the Witch Race and the Demon Clan. Only the Witch Race would perish, and the Demon Clan would completely dominate the Primordial Era.

Nüwa listened quietly to their conversation from the side, her eyes occasionally showing understanding.

"Nüwa."

"Disciple is here."

"Today, I will impart a technique to you, named Heaven Devouring. It was originally the innate divine ability of the Heaven Devouring Iron Eating Beast during the Fierce Beast Calamity. This old Daoist was fortunate enough to obtain it and imparts it to you today. It can be used to deal with the Heavenly Dao imprint in the Hongmeng Purple Qi."

Saying that, a point of spiritual light flew towards Nüwa's brow.

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing the technique." Nüwa bowed gratefully with an excited expression. Even Heavenly Dao Saints knew that there was a Heavenly Dao imprint in the Hongmeng Purple Qi, its purpose being to restrain them, the Saints.

"You must remember, this technique is divided into 'Devouring without Eating' and 'Devouring and Eating'. You must not use 'Devouring and Eating' unless it is a matter of life and death, to avoid alarming the Heavenly Dao and ruining the important matter."

"This disciple understands."

After seeing Hongjun finish his instructions, Qing Xuanzi asked, "Master, how was the Heavenly Dao's general trend decided?"

"I do not know either. I vaguely feel it was originally the will of the Great Dao."

"What?" Qing Xuanzi was somewhat confused. The Heavenly Dao's general trend was decided by the Great Dao?

Then the so-called Great Dao Judgment was completely useless.

"Actually, you should know in your heart that Pangu Great God opened the Primordial Era precisely to surpass the Great Dao. The Great Dao will naturally send down calamities, and these calamities are what the living beings of the Primordial Era must face. If they overcome them, Pangu Great God will succeed. If they cannot, it will ultimately be just a dream."

Qing Xuanzi suddenly understood. So this was what Pangu Great God meant when he said: I will overcome the calamity with you.

He also understood that perhaps the Heavenly Dao, for its own selfish reasons, added a little something extra to the calamity.

As for whether the Heavenly Dao succeeded, Qing Xuanzi did not know.

But the Primordial Era suffered greatly.

First, Buzhou Mountain broke, followed by the fragmentation of the Primordial Era.

All of this was actually a calamity sent down by the Great Dao, targeting Pangu.

Qing Xuanzi's prediction was that with each calamity overcome, Pangu would awaken a little more.

If handled properly, there was still hope for Pangu to overcome the Dao calamity.

After understanding the twists and turns here, Qing Xuanzi's eyes cleared, and he said, "Master, Pangu bestowed upon this disciple the grace of teaching and treated this disciple very well. This disciple should do his best to help Pangu Great God overcome the Dao calamity."

Actually, there was something Qing Xuanzi didn't say in his heart: It is also helping myself overcome the Dao calamity.

Anyone who cultivates the Five Grand Primordial Arts is destined to surpass the Great Dao.

However, they will encounter a Dao calamity in the unseen, causing you to unknowingly fall deeply into it. By the time you realize it, it will be irreversible.

After understanding this principle, Qing Xuanzi knew that the tribulation had likely descended silently.

Helping Pangu Great God overcome the Dao calamity was actually helping himself.

It was a matter of killing two birds with one stone and had to be done.

"Hmm, Qing Xuanzi, the Human Race has encountered some problems. You should go back," Hongjun suddenly said with a 'hmm', then instructed. "Remember, always ask your senior sister Nüwa more questions. Your understanding of the Primordial Era is far inferior to hers."
