Torn Books, Yin-Yang Taoist

Chapter 62 Torn Books, Yin-Yang Taoist

In a vast space.

Here, the laws of nature intertwine, sometimes coalescing, sometimes dispersing.

This is the Primordial Heavenly Dao Space.

Hongjun looked at the Primordial Heavenly Dao Laws, his entire body surging with the power of the laws, and fragments of the Creation Jade Disc appeared above his head.

With the appearance of the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation, countless laws in the Primordial Heavenly Dao Law Space began to fluctuate.

As Hongjun observed the unusual activity before him, a series of images flashed through his mind.

"Turtle...North Sea..."

Eventually, three Dao patterns appeared intermittently in his mind.

Hongjun's eyes narrowed.

"North Sea? Turtle?"

His gaze pierced through endless space, looking towards the primordial North Sea.

A gigantic black tortoise, hundreds of millions of miles in size, floated on the surface of the North Sea. Over countless months, its shell had transformed into an island inhabited by living beings.

"I never imagined there was a Chaos Demon God in the North Sea."

"No wonder Heaven gave the hint that the tortoise was in the North Sea; now I understand."

Splash...

A tattered book appeared in Hongjun's hands.

Upon opening the book, one sees lines of eerie text written on it.

Pangu created the world;

The Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts;

Three races vie for supremacy;

The battle between the Dao and the Demonic;

Hongjun became a saint;

······

The pillar of heaven collapsed;

Nuwa mended the sky;

Upon arriving here, the books were found to be incomplete.

Faint Dao patterns flickered, yet they were not clearly visible.

"So that's how Nuwa patched up the sky."

"This Chaos Black Tortoise, being a Chaos Demon God, possesses the Great Dao of Chaos and cannot take human form in the primordial world."

"When Mount Buzhou collapses, isn't this ready-made material for mending the sky?"

Hongjun instantly discerned the origins of the North Sea Black Tortoise.

"Unable to take human form, you harbored resentment and resorted to causing trouble behind my back. Unfortunately for you, you've offended me; you've truly offended the primordial Heavenly Dao!"

A cold glint appeared in Hongjun's eyes; he had already made his plans.

Just as he was putting away the tattered books and preparing to use this opportunity to find the other half of the Jade Disc of Creation, his vision suddenly changed.

His body disappeared into the space governed by the primordial laws of the Heavenly Dao. "It's a pity... I'll have to wait until next time."

Hongjun's sigh disappeared, and when he opened his eyes again, they had become the eyes of a ruthless Heavenly Dao.

Countless ancient deities within the Purple Cloud Palace felt their bodies sink, as immense pressure permeated the entire palace.

"We pay our respects to Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"

Hongjun remained calm and composed, his voice devoid of any emotion, "From this day forward, for countless eons, I will not emerge."

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and other deities secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Hongjun himself was a sage of the primordial world, and his power made it difficult for the rest of the primordial world to breathe.

Now that the foundation for sainthood has finally been laid, Hongjun merged with the Dao and pressed down on it once again.

Like a sharp sword, it could take their lives at any moment.

Hongjun's words undoubtedly reassured all the sacred beings of the prehistoric world.

The Taoist Taiqing, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Master, is everything in this primordial world predetermined? Can it be changed?"

Heavenly Dao Hongjun's gaze fell upon Taiqing, and he spoke calmly, "Small trends can be altered, but major trends cannot be reversed!"

After saying that, he waved his sleeve.

The group of ancient gods disappeared into the Purple Cloud Palace.

The Zixiao Palace, which had been bustling for countless years, became quiet once again.

Upon leaving Zixiao Palace, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi's expressions changed drastically.

Without a second thought, they quickly returned to the primordial world and flew towards the North Sea at top speed.

"The last foundation for sainthood is on Hongyun, grab it!!"

From the shadows, Kunpeng roared loudly.

His narrow-mindedness had already made it clear.

The Holy Position of this Primordial Heaven is determined according to the seat of the first sermon.

If Hongyun hadn't voluntarily stepped down, thus implicating herself...

Perhaps he himself had a foundation for becoming a saint, otherwise he wouldn't be like this now, not even having entered the quasi-saint realm!

Resentment and hatred!

In the previous eon, Dragon Master Gui Yi created the Dragon Script, which spread throughout the primordial land and has been used ever since.

Without the merit of creating demonic patterns, Kunpeng is still in the late stage of the Great Luo realm.

They were no match for Hongyun, who was at the Quasi-Saint realm.

Just because he can't defeat them doesn't mean the other deities can't.

Watching Hongyun's disappearing figure, Kunpeng could no longer hold back.

The ancient deities, who had just come to their senses, perked up instantly upon hearing Kunpeng's voice.

They quickly caught up with him.

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a strange look as they watched the primordial deities chase after Hongyun. Then they vanished into the chaos.

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa also returned to the primordial world one after another.

Having the foundation to become a saint, they need to achieve sainthood as soon as possible, otherwise they might one day merge into the red clouds and become beings that everyone wants to kill.

······

In an unnamed valley.

Gui Xuan listened to Hongjun's ethereal voice, then looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky and curled his lip.

"Small trends can be changed, but big trends cannot? You don't realize that a thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole."

"Fortunately, I'm not too late."

The Earth Book floated before him, and Gui Xuan extended his right hand, disappearing into the void, and stirred it within.

Before long, a book radiating spiritual light appeared in his hand, carrying a black calligraphy brush.

The Book of Man - The Book of Life and Death! The Judge's Pen!

"The three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the primordial chaos."

"Hongjun alone controls the Heavenly Dao, suppressing the other two Daos; the Earthly Dao has disappeared, and the Human Dao is connected to the Cycle of Reincarnation, and is controlled by Houtu, who has no primordial spirit."

"But because of his incompleteness, he could not leave the underworld, so he was neither a saint nor a saint."

This is tantamount to disguised imprisonment.

One calculation leads to three paths.

Hongjun's calculations regarding the beings of the prehistoric world were so impressive that even he, a person from a later generation who was familiar with the general trend of the prehistoric world, greatly admired them.

The Earth Book and the Human Book floated before Gui Xuan.

Following the energy of the two great primordial books, Guixuan Divine Eyes gazed at the primordial sky, beyond the chaos.

"This old fellow already has the Investiture of the Gods list, but he's been keeping it hidden. He's probably been preparing for the Investiture of the Gods for a long time."

"Is this paving the way for his own son, or is there a deeper calculation at play?"

Following the two streams of energy, he clearly sensed another stream of celestial energy within the chaos.

Just as he was pondering this, he suddenly sensed a very strong feeling of being watched by one of his clones in Beihai.

"That old bastard is looking for me!"

The Chaos Pearl spun rapidly, with boundless laws of the Great Dao circulating around its body. The power of concealing heavenly secrets emanating from the Chaos Pearl was being utilized to its fullest extent.

Gui Xuan's eyes flashed.

Ultimately, that intense feeling of being watched fell upon Kong Yuan, the clone on the sea surface.

"Old man, I've left you a big gift, waiting for you to come and claim it."

After the intense feeling of being watched disappeared, Gui Xuan chuckled softly.

The delay of Hongjun's merging with the Dao by one Yuanhui (a unit of time) is just right.

Just then, two figures appeared on the surface of the North Sea.

Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun looked back from time to time, their faces slightly pale. The densely packed, sky-covering primordial gods were all at least at the Great Luo realm.

I followed them at a distance.

"Brother Zhenyuan, where is the Dao Ancestor Guixuan in the North Sea?"

Hongyun asked anxiously.

Zhen Yuanzi was equally anxious. "The Dao Ancestor Guixuan did not make it clear, but since he sent us here, he may have already made arrangements."

really.

In the brief moment he was speaking.

A massive, sky-covering hand appeared in the void above the North Sea and reached out to grab the two of them.

Before they could resist, a voice rang in their ears, "Do not resist, follow me."

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun suddenly went black and disappeared into the sky above the North Sea.

This scene filled countless ancient gods and deities behind them with shock and fury.

Before long, they arrived at an island brimming with innate spiritual energy.

A huge Xuanwu beast hovered in the void, silently watching the two of them.

"Dao Ancestor Guixuan has gone out. You will wait here until he returns, and he will make arrangements accordingly."

······

Kunlun Mountain.

The Three Pure Ones sat cross-legged in the Taiqing Hall, setting up layers of formations to conceal the secrets of heaven.

Shangqing Tongtian looked solemnly at his two elder brothers, speaking in a serious tone.

"Elder brother, our fortune has been suppressed!"

Master Taiqing's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected this all along.

A strange light flickered in Yuqing Yuanshi's eyes.

After a long silence, the Taoist Taiqing slowly spoke, "We are transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, one body divided into three, born with great fortune, unmatched among the holy beings of the primordial world."

"That one collected the primordial energy as a stepping stone, and merged with the Dao, yet he suppressed us completely."

Yuanshi looked resentful. "A mere Saint's position, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan, and you're just going to dismiss us like this?!"

The Primordial Spirit of the Primordial Immortal Supreme Dao Realm has a profound foundation; it is much stronger than that of ordinary Chaos Demon Gods.

How could they be content to be trapped in a cage like this!

Shangqing Tongtian said in a heavy tone, "The trend is irreversible. The so-called divinely ordained sages are merely materials to complete the operation of heaven and earth."

"He merged with the Dao with his body, while we mend the heavens and earth with our bodies, so we are naturally suppressed."

"From the very beginning, I was blinded by the secrets of heaven. From the moment I entered the Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao, my own destiny was already being suppressed."

"Now, we have completely lost the ability to resist; we can only go with the flow."

Taiqing sighed deeply, "For now, let's follow the will of Heaven, break through our current realm, and preserve ourselves."

"The matter of the Primordial Purple Qi, the foundation for attaining the Dao, has caused quite a stir in the prehistoric land. Over time, some audacious beings have tried to find a way to break it from us."

He could already imagine Hongyun's fate.

In the current situation, they have no way out; even if they know it's a trap, they have to bite the bullet and jump in, otherwise they will be doomed.

Even more tragic than Hongyun.

If one cannot become a saint as soon as possible, one will surely perish.

The three Qings talked for a while longer before parting ways.

Only Taiqing remained, sitting cross-legged on the futon, his eyes swirling with the power of laws.

The next second, the innate treasure Tai Chi diagram appeared in his palm.

Looking at the Taiji diagram in his palm, the immense primordial spirit power of the Taiqing Daoist suddenly erupted, and nearly half of the 49 innate restrictions were instantly refined.

Having said this, Taiqing Daoist softly said, "Fellow Daoist, if you don't come out now, do you expect me to invite you out?"

boom!

The Tai Chi symbol suddenly erupted.

Yin and Yang energies permeated the Taiqing Palace, and the laws of Yin and Yang flowed in the void, eventually transforming into a phantom figure.

The figure, dressed in a Yin-Yang Taoist robe and standing on the Yin-Yang laws, looked at the Taiqing Taoist in surprise.

"Young man, I didn't expect you to be so much more cunning than that treacherous old Taoist."

Taiqing narrowed his eyes. "The Chaos Demon God?"

Although he had not yet taken human form during the conflict between the Dao and the Demon, he already possessed consciousness.

The earth-shattering, world-destroying aura still haunts him.

Upon seeing the figure, Taiqing instantly recognized him as the Chaos Demon God Yin Yang Daoist.

Upon hearing Taiqing's address to him, the Yin-Yang Daoist's face turned bitter. "Do I still look like a Chaos Demon God?"

"I made a wrong move and almost died. If I hadn't prepared a backup plan, I might have perished completely."

"I observe that you cultivate the Yin-Yang Heavenly Dao Law, and your own fortune is suppressed, making it truly difficult for you to turn things around."

As the Yin-Yang Taoist spoke, his tone became inexplicable.

Taiqing Daoist looked at Yin Yang Daoist and said in a low voice, "Senior, just say what your conditions are."

The Yin-Yang Taoist's eyes lit up slightly. "You only know the Way of Heaven, but not the Great Way. It's hopeless for you to break free from your shackles."

"I possess the principles of Yin and Yang that can assist you. This Tai Chi diagram is my own spiritual treasure; if you are willing to guide me, I can give it all to you!"

"That being only cares about the grand scheme of things, and will stop at nothing to ensure the smooth operation of heaven and earth; you haven't yet completed the restoration of the heavens and earth's order, so there's still time!"

After Taiqing heard this, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda appeared above his head, and he quickly manipulated it.

A series of messages appeared in his mind.

After a long while, under the tense gaze of the Yin-Yang Daoist, Taiqing finally said, "Alright!"

"When the time is right, I will accept you as my personal disciple and guide you back to your homeland!"

The Taoist priest was overjoyed.

"Just in case, I'll give you another option: if the time is right, you can go and find a Chaos Demon God named Gui Xuan."

"Although I haven't known him much, I've often heard the Ancestor of Qiankun mention him; this demon god has extraordinary comprehension. If your two younger brothers want to transcend, they can go and seek him out."

"I hope you remember what I said today!"

boom!

The laws of Yin and Yang appeared in Taiqing's mind, and he completely refined the Taiji diagram in the blink of an eye.

Taiqing's eyes snapped open.

"Teacher, did you do it on purpose or unintentionally?"
