" Taiqing is wicked, destroying the Primordial World for his own selfish desires. Now, I, Houtu, on behalf of the Father God, reclaim the supreme treasure Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Lingling Pagoda, which Taiqing possessed. May Heaven bear witness!"
Houtu spirit appeared and made a declaration to the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness. Then, she forcibly took the last supreme treasure Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Lingling Pagoda, from the Vice Admiral the Dao De Tianzun.
After seizing the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Lingling Pagoda, Houtu spirit immediately contacted Pingxin, who was in the Underworld, and transferred to the Underworld.
After all this was done, even the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness and Dao Ancestor Hongjun could only stare helplessly.
They never expected that Ancestral Witch Houtu, still had a true spirit and primordial essence remaining, and that she had even stolen the supreme treasure Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
They wanted to intervene, but the other party held the moral high ground. Although they had tried their best to erase Pangu's mark in the Primordial World over the years, it had not been completely erased. If they forcibly attacked Houtu now, it might activate the remaining part of Pangu's mark.
It's hard to say what might happen then.
Furthermore, the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Underworld are connected to the Great Reincarnation of the Heavens, so they absolutely cannot make a move there, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
In the end, they had no choice but to accept the situation. Among them, the most aggrieved was Dao Ancestor Hongjun. According to his original plan, he was to shatter the prehistoric Primordial World during the Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation. To this end, he did not hesitate to expose his backup plan left in the Primordial Violet Qi and restrain the Heavenly Dao, lending a large amount of Power of the Heavenly Dao to the Four Saints.
However, those Four Saints were too useless; all his elaborate schemes failed at the last hurdle.
Hongjun is now plotting how to eliminate Wang Hao. He didn't care much before, but now he realizes that this kid has become an obstacle to his plans.
If it cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, it will inevitably cause greater obstacles in the future.
The mere thought of that guy's close connection with the Heavenly Dao gave Hongjun a headache.
He was also at a crucial stage in his cultivation, making it difficult for him to spare any time. Moreover, those Sage were all useless, which meant he hadn't yet come up with a good way to get rid of that kid.
After the Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation, the Four Saints, including the Dao De Tianzun, were banished to their respective dojos and sealed away by the Heavenly Dao. Although the Sage are the representatives of the Heavenly Dao, these six sages were more aligned with Hongjun's side.
Although she could command, it wasn't easy for her, unlike the sensible little man Wang Hao. So, let alone sealing the Four Saints for a million years to reflect on their mistakes, even sealing them for Infinite Immeasurable Tribulation wouldn't have the slightest effect on her.
"I never imagined that Junior Sister Nuwa would not only be the first among us to become a saint, but now she has even achieved the Heavenly Dao Realm ahead of us."
After everything came to an end, the Sect Master Tongtian looked at Nuwa with complicated emotions. He was also a proud man. He had tolerated Nuwa, a woman, beating him to the punch when he became Nuwa, but he never expected that Nuwa to the Heavenly Dao Realm again this time.
Am I Tongtian to be dominated by women my whole life?
Thinking of this, the Sect Master Tongtian couldn't help but recall the scene of his encounter with the Ancestral Witch Xuanming. At that time, he had only recently taken human form and was full of vigor, but then he was taught a lesson by that woman, Xuanming.
Out of resentment, he challenged that woman to a duel many times, but each time he was brutally beaten.
Are all women this fierce these days?
"Junior sister only managed to get a half-step lead by sheer luck!"
Nuwa Yanran, and at the same time she could see that the Sect Master Tongtian had already stepped halfway into the Heavenly Dao Realm, and only needed a period of quiet cultivation to complete the final breakthrough.
"Senior brother, I'm the one who's truly lucky!"
With a sigh, the Sect Master Tongtian knew very well what was going on with him.
After merging with the Pangu legacy, his foundation increased dramatically. In addition, he regained the lost Shangqing Origin, making himself perfect and flawless, and possessing the foundation to reach the Heavenly Dao Realm.
Although only one step remains, crossing that step will be extremely difficult, and he cannot say for sure when.
It might break through tomorrow, or it might be billions of years from now—who knows?
However, the previous move by Dao Ancestor Hongjun to activate the Primordial Violet Qi amplified the evil thoughts in his heart, allowing him to seize the opportunity and take a crucial half-step.
It was precisely because his cultivation had reached the Heavenly Dao Realm by half a step that he was able to withstand the hidden tricks left by Hongjun in the Primordial Violet Qi; otherwise, he would probably have been included in the Destroying the World ranks of the four, including the Dao De Tianzun Venerable.
"Fellow Daoist, the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords are of no use to me, so I will bestow them upon you!"
After calming himself down, the Sect Master Tongtian took the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords from the four women of Yunxiao and casually handed them to Wang Hao.
Although he didn't understand Wang Hao's true intention in collecting Innate Spiritual Treasure, their Interception Sect was able to survive the Immeasurable Tribulation thanks to this person's help, so he would consider the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords as repaying a favor.
In any case, for him, who mainly cultivates the Dao of Formations, what is truly useful is the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, not the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.
Although the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords are excellent, they are only Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure. If it weren't for the support of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, they probably wouldn't be able to harm a powerhouse at the Primordial Unity Realm level.
But this is already the limit of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords. He has now stepped halfway into the Heavenly Dao Realm, and the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords can no longer keep up with his pace. Moreover, no one under his sect can control such a powerful killing sword. It would be better to give it to Wang Hao to offset part of the favor.
"This is a wonderful gift, thank you!"
Wang Hao happily accepted the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords and took them as his own.
Today has been a great day; I've acquired several Innate Supreme Treasure, bringing me one step closer to completing my plan.
Goodbye!
The Sect Master Tongtian did not linger any longer. He cupped his hands in greeting and led his remaining disciples back to Golden Turtle Island in the East Sea.
This time, their Interception Sect also suffered heavy losses, with more than half of the tens of thousands of Daluo Golden Immortal perishing, and eight direct disciples in the Primordial Unity Realm also falling.
Although the losses were severe, it was still much better than the near extinction of the Chan Sect and Western Teachings.
Although the Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation of Dao De Tianzun did not allow his only disciple, Xuandu, to be born during this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, the loss of the supreme treasure of the sect, the Taiji Diagram, meant that the Daoist tradition Fortune of the Humanity Sect could not be suppressed. Before long, most of it would dissipate, leaving it existing in name only.
Nuwa then departed into the void, but instead of returning to Wa Huang Heaven, she went to the Underworld to see her best friend Houtu and to use her own Great Dao of Creation to rebuild her body.
Finally, she also needed to discuss with Houtu how to deal with the half of the Shangqing Primordial Spirit of the Sect Master Tongtian, and how to resurrect the other fallen Ancestral Witch.
"Father-in-law, I'm entrusting the Human Clan to you. Remember, the name of the nation must be Qin!"
Wang Hao didn't stop there either. He immediately sought out his father-in-law, the reincarnation of the Great Demon God Chiyou You, and asked him to lead the establishment of the next Human Clan, naming it Qin.
Now that he has become a lackey of the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness, he must act in accordance with the course of Heavenly Mandate.
Because this is during Immeasurable Tribulation, destroying the Western Zhou will not significantly impact the course of Heavenly Mandate, but the next Human Clan dynasty must be the Great Qin Dynasty.
This is tantamount to saying that he directly erased the Zhou Dynasty period from his life's trajectory.
Do I need you to teach me how to do things?
Glancing sideways at this cheap son-in-law, the reincarnation of Chi You worked overtime to establish his own Human Clan.
Faced with his arrogant father-in-law, Wang Hao shrugged helplessly.
After joining the ranks of the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness and living off its women, he rescued his father-in-law, who had been dismembered.
However, this father-in-law was too arrogant. He felt it was shameful to lose to his old rival Yellow Emperor, in this life, so he decided to reincarnate and build a powerful Human Clan dynasty in the next life.
Then came the reincarnation he has now, and the soon-to-be-established Great Qin Dynasty.
Putting aside the mess in the Central Plains Nine Provinces, Wang Hao returned to the Wilderness, leading a large group of people straight to the Western Regions the Primordial World, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the foot of the Spirit Mountain of the Western Teachings.
" Maitreya greets His Majesty the Holy King!"
Maitreya, who had sensed Wang Hao's arrival long ago, hurriedly ran down the mountain to greet him. He was the only remaining expert at the Primordial Unity Realm in the Western Teachings.
As for the others, they all perished on the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods. If he hadn't been left behind by his master to guard Spirit Mountain, he probably would have perished on the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods the Gods just like his fellow disciples.
When their master is sealed in the Void Dao Field, their Western Teachings will truly be doomed.
Facing Wang Hao, Ruthless dared to scheme against Sage repeatedly, he dared not be negligent in the slightest. Otherwise, if he really angered this man and was killed on the spot, even his own master would not be able to get justice for him.
"Take me to see the incarnation of your master."
Wang Hao was too lazy to waste words with Maitreya, so he asked Maitreya to lead the way.
The Two Sages of the West are currently unable to descend from their Daoist temples in the Chaos Void, sealed by the Heavenly Dao, but they will surely leave behind incarnations to Spirit Mountain.
"Your Excellency, please follow me!"
Maitreya dared not object in the slightest and led the way. The two soon arrived at the depths of Spirit Mountain, a small temple belonging to the Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.
At this moment, the avatars of the two Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin, were sitting cross-legged here. When they saw Wang Hao arrive, their faces couldn't help but twitch.
This time, their main bodies were really screwed over by this bastard.
Their Western Teachings was not wealthy to begin with. Last time, when they set up the Primordial Wilderness Grand Formation, this guy took advantage of his power to extort a lot of Innate Spiritual Treasure from them. This time, he even took away two Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, one of which, the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit, was their Western Teachings's most treasured possession.
If they weren't outmatched in strength, they would have fought this bastard to the death!
It is important to understand that they are different from the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa. Although those four also attained sainthood through merit, the merit they used all came from themselves. In contrast, the Two Sages of the West received their merit in advance from the Heavenly Dao through a great vow.
To this day, some of the Forty-Eight Great Vows they made back then have not yet been fulfilled, which is the main reason why they have always coveted the Eastern Region Primordial World.
If they fail to fulfill all their grand ambitions by the final deadline, they might be demoted from the Human Realm, which would be a real disaster.
That's why they accepted the invitation to risk getting involved in the Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation, but who would have thought it would end like this?
Not only did they fail to gain an opportunity for the eastward transmission of Buddhism, but they also suffered a loss, being trapped in the Void Dao Field and unable to descend, and losing two Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure.
What kind of mess is this?!
What is your name?
Wang Hao sat down without any ceremony, sized up the two avatars of the Two Sages of the West, and was quite amazed by their talent.
Although these two incarnations are not as powerful as the Three Pure Ones' avatars of the Dao De Tianzun, nor as powerful as the Primordial Heavenly Demon of the Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning, they are not far off.
It should be noted that the Two Sages of the West did not inherit Pangu's legacy; they cultivated themselves bit by bit. It is already quite remarkable that they were able to refine such an incarnation, which is second only to the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.
