After the Saints departed, Gu Changqing used the Heavenly Mystery Abode to collect the Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation and then released Jie Yin from the Chaos Bell.
At this moment, Jie Yin was bleeding profusely, his Saint body on the verge of collapse, his eyes dull.
That terrifying law had made Jie Yin feel the breath of death.
That law could sever the karma of heaven and earth, and naturally, it could also sever the connection between a Saint and the heavens.
If a Saint couldn't connect with heaven and earth, the idea of a Saint being immortal was a joke.
Slaughtering Saints!
Gu Changqing possessed the ability to Slaughter Saints!
Gu Changqing's terror surpassed even Tong Tian's!
No matter how formidable Tong Tian was, he could only bully them.
Gu Changqing was different; Gu Changqing could kill them!
Jie Yin sensed the danger at the last moment, which was why he exerted all his strength to push Zhun Ti away.
At this time, Gu Changqing didn't know he already possessed the skill to Slaughter Saints. He looked at the dazed Jie Yin and said:
"Uncle-Master Jie Yin, the reason I can release you is out of appreciation for the bond between you and Uncle-Master Zhun Ti. In the Primordial World, this arena of gladiators, such bonds are rare and priceless."
"I cannot understand why, with the Three Sects of the Eastern Lands vying for supremacy, and the Western Sect alone dominating the West, you two Uncle-Masters don't focus on the West but constantly try to meddle in the Eastern Lands' disputes? Isn't this like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons?"
"Uncle-Master Jie Yin, go back to the West. The Eastern Lands are not suitable for you."
"I'll give you three days to evacuate the Eastern Lands. Otherwise, don't blame Changqing if my blade shows no mercy."
After Gu Changqing finished speaking, he left the Primordial World. Being able to let Jie Yin off at the end was already the utmost benevolence.
If Jie Yin hadn't made that final push, he wouldn't have minded suppressing both Sages of the West together.
Jie Yin watched Gu Changqing depart, and his eyes began to focus.
Demon Extermination Alliance?
Heh heh...
One Gu Changqing alone had beaten the four Saints into submission. What demons were they going to exterminate?
A Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal could indeed be killed, but this Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal also possessed the art of Slaughtering Saints!
The crucial point was...
From beginning to end, Tong Tian had not appeared!
In front of Gu Changqing, the Demon Extermination Alliance was a joke.
With Gu Changqing in the Eastern Lands, there was no longer any place for the Western Sect.
Perhaps even the Human and Chan Sects would have no place to stand.
The Intercepting Sect's sole dominance was now a foregone conclusion.
Jie Yin sighed, ignoring his injuries, and immediately rushed to Mount Sumeru.
Three days!
Only three days to evacuate.
If they missed the deadline, with a wave of Gu Changqing's hand, perhaps tens of thousands of their disciples would end up on the Investiture of the Gods List.
During this Tribulation, the Western Sect had already lost enough.
Upon returning to Chong City, Gu Changqing immediately entered seclusion. His battle with the Saints, though it had forced him to use all his trump cards, also brought him new insights.
The second chapter of the Primordial Creation True Scripture was beginning to reveal its secrets.
The first chapter involved comprehending myriad laws and condensing a Law Body.
The second chapter involved uniting with the Dao and achieving a Great Dao Body.
The final law used when sealing Jie Yin was the Power of the Great Dao, though it was still immature.
The reason Hongjun could become the teacher of all Saints was that he had united with the Dao and mastered the Power of the Great Dao.
However, he had united with the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World.
This was a shortcut, leading to a rapid increase in strength, but ultimately limited by the heaven and earth of the Primordial World, making transcendence difficult.
The Heavenly Dao, the Earthly Dao, and the Human Dao were all aspects of the Great Dao.
The Dao of Five Elements, the Yin-Yang Dao, the Geng Metal Dao... the culmination of every law was the Great Dao.
Dao has no priority, nor strength or weakness; it only depends on who travels further.
Where is my Dao?
Gu Changqing had already comprehended three thousand laws, and with too many choices available, he found himself unable to choose.
Innate Spiritual Treasures are born from the Luck of heaven and earth. Each Spiritual Treasure contains profound creation and embodies the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
This is also why all mighty figures in the Primordial World choose a Spiritual Treasure as their Dao-proving artifact.
A Dao-proving artifact is closely related to one's future achievements, yet Gu Changqing had cultivated to the Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal stage without choosing one.
At this point, Gu Changqing turned his gaze to the Spiritual Treasure, hoping it would spark some ideas.
Opening the system's exchange interface, a dazzling array of Spiritual Treasures filled the screen. Gu Changqing's eyes landed on the most expensive one.
The Chaos Pearl!
Valued at a trillion!
This was truly high-end stuff.
Currently, the strongest Spiritual Treasure he possessed was the Chaos Bell, valued at ten billion.
Yet, the Chaos Pearl was valued at a trillion, a hundred times more expensive than the Chaos Bell.
This is it!
With hundreds of trillions in his possession, a mere trillion was nothing to Gu Changqing.
There were too many Spiritual Treasures in the system, and Gu Changqing wasn't buying the best, only the most expensive.
Since it concerned his future cultivation, Gu Changqing didn't hesitate to spend Merits.
A trillion, and the Chaos Pearl was his!
As a system-produced item, it was refined the moment it was exchanged.
The Chaos Pearl floated within Gu Changqing's Purple Mansion, and information about it flooded his mind.
The Chaos Pearl was the essence of Chaos, and Chaos had birthed three thousand worlds, with the Primordial World being one of them.
The Chaos Pearl being valued at a trillion naturally had its reasons.
However…
If the Primordial World was born from Chaos, then what's the deal with Pangu's Heaven-Opening?
There were many unsolved mysteries in the Primordial World, but Gu Changqing wasn't in the mood to delve into archaeology. He turned his attention back to studying the Chaos Pearl.
If Chaos could birth worlds, then as the essence of Chaos, couldn't the Chaos Pearl also birth worlds?
Hongjun gained the Power of the Great Dao by merging with the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World. What if I were to open up a world within the Chaos Pearl?
In this world, I would be the Heavenly Dao, and naturally possess the Power of the Great Dao!
Gu Changqing infused the Power of Creation into the Chaos Pearl. His Power of Creation contained three thousand laws, and the laws within the Chaos Pearl gradually became abundant.
This wasn't the first time Gu Changqing had used the Power of Creation to evolve a world.
He had done it before in Wa Palace, but it wasn't as detailed then, and his understanding of the Creation Dao wasn't as profound as it was now.
Once the laws within the Chaos Pearl became abundant, Gu Changqing began to sort through them.
If the three thousand laws weren't clearly organized, the Chaos Pearl would be like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.
As time passed, a breath of life gradually emerged within the Chaos Pearl.
Although there was a breath of life, the birth of intelligent life would still require a long process.
If Gu Changqing wanted to forcefully intervene, he could completely accelerate the world's growth with the Power of Creation.
But Gu Changqing didn't do so. The purpose of opening up a world was to comprehend the Power of the Great Dao. Forcibly interfering would go against his initial intention.
The Chaos World has taken shape. Congratulations to the host for receiving a hundred trillion Merits reward.
A hundred trillion?
Gu Changqing was a bit stunned.
The last time he received a hundred trillion reward was when he established Di Xin as the Human Emperor.
He hadn't expected that opening up a world could yield such a high reward.
Such a good thing, why didn't you tell me sooner!
Chaos is so vast, I can just pick randomly.
If this were the case, wouldn't Merits be inexhaustible?
Host is bound to the Chaos World. The fate of the Chaos World is intimately linked with the host.
This…
Upon hearing the system's voice, Gu Changqing immediately abandoned the idea of exploiting Chaos.
Such deep karma meant that casually opening worlds would eventually lead to his own demise.
It made sense. If opening up a world was like raising a child, what parent in the world would give birth to a child and not raise them? And how many children could a couple raise?
Meanwhile, after Laozi fled Chaos with Yuanshi, he didn't let Yuanshi return to Jade Void Palace but instead took him to Eight Scenery Palace.
"I can't believe so many people couldn't take down one Gu Changqing, it's infuriating!"
"Especially Zhun Ti and Jie Yin, they clearly weren't putting in their full effort, despicable!"
Yuanshi directly ranted. In his opinion, this was the best opportunity to assassinate Gu Changqing.
"Alas."
Laozi sighed and replied, "Junior Disciple Brothers Jie Yin and Zhun Ti have already done their best. It's just that you were caught in the Grand Formation and unaware of the situation."
Thinking about Jie Yin's miserable state, Laozi also felt a lingering fear.
He, too, had sensed the threat from Gu Changqing's last divine ability.
A threat of death!
For a Saint, death was an incredibly distant concept.
Yet today, it felt so close!
Luckily, Gu Changqing was still unfamiliar with that divine ability; otherwise, it would be a toss-up whether they returned to Eight Scenery Palace or ended up on the Investiture of the Gods List.
"Junior Disciple Brother," Laozi said, glancing at the indignant Yuanshi, "In the future, when you see Gu Changqing, it's best to avoid him if you can."
"Avoid?" Yuanshi was puzzled. "Aren't we supposed to exterminate demons? What sense does 'avoiding' make?"
Exterminate demons?
Laozi felt bitter inside. The moment Jie Yin was sealed and Zhun Ti fled for his life, the Demon Extermination Alliance had become meaningless.
While a Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal could certainly be killed, Gu Changqing possessed the power to Slaughter Saints.
How could they possibly exterminate demons now?
