《I am in Xianxia, ??I can enter the top-level prehistoric world》 Chapter 3 - The Six Saints Ascend – The Dawn of the Age of Saints Chapter 3: The Six Saints Ascend C The Dawn of the Age of SaintsIn the Primordial Chaos, the existence of true transcendencebeyond even the realm of the Boundless Primordial Saintremains but a legend. Not even Hongjun, the revered ancestor of Dao, had reached that pinnacle. Within this high-configuration version of the Primordial Chaos, any being who attains the Great Luo Realm is considered virtually immortal. As long as there are no interferences from beings of the Boundless Primordial Saint level or beyond, death for a Great Luo being is not absolute; they will eventually return. However, this return might take an unfathomably long time. If a saint-level existence intervenes, the delay in return becomes indefinite, equating to a form of true death. Unlike some variations of mythology, this version of the Primordial Chaos has no intermediary stage like Quasi-Saint. A clear boundary exists: above the Great Luo stands only the Boundless Primordial Saintthe exalted level of the six great saints: Sanqing (Three Pure Ones), Nuwa, and the Western duo, Zhunti and Jieyin, as well as Hongjun himself. Even within the Great Luo Realm, there are gradations of strength. However, these differences are relatively minor; even a peak Great Luo being would struggle to kill a newly ascended Great Luo entity without suffering catastrophic repercussions. For example, even Emperor Jun and Taiyi would be gravely injured if they attempted to eliminate Hongyun or one of the weaker Twelve Ancestors of Wu. Suddenly, an earth-shaking proclamation reverberated across the Primordial Chaos. I am Taiqing Daode Tianzun! Moved by the chaos among living beings, I hereby establish the Human Dao, to enlighten all beings. The Dao of Humanity is founded! The heavens and earth trembled as the voicevast, majestic, and limitlessechoed across the Primordial Chaos. It resounded through the river of time, permeating past, present, and future. Infinite manifestations of the Great Dao materialised across the cosmos, transcending space and time. A colossal figure emerged, towering over all creation, cloaked in a grey Daoist robe, his visage resembling an elder of immeasurable wisdom. Surrounding him were countless dimensions and worlds, forming and dissolving in an endless cycle. Above his head rotated the Innate Taiji Diagram, an artefact resembling the grinding wheel of the Great Dao itself, embodying infinite truths and principles. The entire Primordial Chaos seemed to revolve with the diagrams movements. From the highest heavens descended a radiant stream of golden merit, cascading into the figures form. Simultaneously, a beam of boundless purple merit burst forth from his forehead, intertwining with the golden radiance, spreading across the cosmos. This convergence shattered limitations, elevating his essence to unparalleled heights. In that instant, the figures presence transcended all existence, encompassing the entirety of time and space. Is this the sanctification of Laozi? Has the Age of Saints begun? Xia Tians awe-filled gaze fixed on the majestic figure, his heart quaking as he pieced together the identity of the beingTaiqing Daode Tianzun, also known as Laozi, the foremost of the Three Pure Ones and the saint closest to Hongjun. Laozi was establishing the Human Dao, attaining sanctification, and officially becoming a saint. The overwhelming saintly aura left Xia Tian feeling utterly insignificant. Beneath the saints presence, even his very existence seemed tenuous, as though a mere whim could erase him from the tapestry of time, obliterating his past, present, and future. So this is a saintthe source of the Boundless Primordial Dao, the ultimate destination of all systems of cultivation, Xia Tian murmured, lost in wonder. When will I reach such heights? he whispered, gazing at the colossal saintly form that stretched beyond comprehension. Yet, juxtaposing his current strength with that of a saint, he despaired at the insurmountable gap. Even Emperor Jun and Taiyi, his father and unclethe sovereigns of the demon celestial court and apex Great Luo beingsstood no chance of becoming saints. For Xia Tian, not yet an innate god or demon, the prospect of sainthood was an unattainable dream. Suddenly, another voice resounded, equally grand and imposing. I am Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun! I hereby establish the Explained Dao, to elucidate the supreme truths of the heavens and enlighten all beings. The Dao of Explanation is founded! As this voice shook the cosmos, another emerged: I am Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, the Lord Tongtian! I vow to carve out a thread of hope for all beings and to guide them. The Dao of Interception is founded! The presence of three saints filled the cosmos, intertwining and dominating every thread of time, past, present, and future. From the western expanse of the Primordial Chaos, a grand bell tolled, heralding yet another sanctification. Two radiant figures, emanating endless Buddhist light, appeared atop the Western Spirit Mountain. Manifesting worlds of infinite wonder, their auras were vast and immeasurable, spreading across the thirty-six heavens, weaving histories and countless timelines. Sarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. These were Zhunti and Jieyin, the later founders of the Western Dao. Moved by the sanctification of Sanqing and Nuwa before them, the two followed suit, vowing to teach and enlighten. Their merit, however, was insufficient, forcing them to make forty-nine grand vows to the heavens and borrow infinite merit to achieve sanctification. With a resounding boom, they refined the Hongmeng Purple Qi and ascended to sainthood. Now, the aura of five saints permeated the Primordial Chaos, encompassing every moment and corner of existence. Chapter 4 - Emperor Jun and Taiyi – The Plot to Claim Hongyuns Primordial Purple Qi Chapter 4: Emperor Jun and Taiyi C The Plot to Claim Hongyuns Primordial Purple Qi A new, boundless aura surged from the Wa Palace, spreading across the entirety of the Primordial Chaos and reverberating through every timeline. In that moment, six saintly presencesimmense, indescribable, and unparalleleddominated the fabric of existence. These six presences encompassed all possibilities and impossibilities, miracles and variables, leaving no space unclaimed in the past, present, or future. Their overwhelming essence epitomised the pinnacle of existence, transcending the multiverse and symbolising absolute dominion. Even the light they radiated altered the fabric of reality. Vast oceans of void, infinite worlds and immeasurable universes became part of the Primordial Chaos all-encompassing system. The saints auras extended beyond the Primordial Chaos, drawing the attention of unfathomable entities from the myriad realms. In one such realm, a colossal, celestial eye slowly opened, its gaze reflecting the infinite multiverse. Time and space wove themselves into rivers of history under its watchful stare. Another cycle begins, a vast voice rumbled, filled with indifference. Elsewhere, in the depths of a void sea, an ancient figure sitting atop the river of time sighed as the aura of the six saints swept through creation. Whats the point? the elder murmured, closing his eyes once more. Such subtle shifts occurred across the myriad realms, rippling through the multiverse in ways both profound and subtle. Back in the Primordial Chaos, the six saintly auras coalesced: Sanqing, Nuwa, Zhunti, and Jieyin, their immense presences uniting to form the core of existence. They embodied the ultimate sources of all systems, concepts, and mysteries within the Primordial Chaosa truth so vast it defied comprehension. Nuwa emerged from her palace, offering a courteous bow to the other five saints. Congratulations, my elder brothers, on attaining Dao, she said with a smile. The saints returned her gesture, Laozi offering a slight nod. It is thanks to the creation of the human race that we could reach this state. After a brief exchange, the saints retreated to their respective domains, seeking to familiarise themselves with the profound mysteries of sainthood. Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Court, Emperor Jun and TaiyiXia Tians nominal father and unclesat grimly upon their thrones in the Lingxiao Palace. Six saints now reign supreme, Emperor Jun muttered, his expression heavy. What becomes of the demon clan? And what of us? The oppressive aura of the saints weighed heavily on them, an undeniable reminder of their insurmountable power. The ambition to dominate the Primordial Chaos now seemed like a farce. Even if they triumphed over the witch clan, claiming the entirety of the Primordial Chaos was a dream beyond their reach. With the saints now firmly established, the dominance of the demon clan was no longer conceivable. Worse, the saints reliance on humanity to achieve sanctification filled the two celestial rulers with foreboding. Though the temptation to eradicate humanity burned within them, they knew the folly of such an attempt. Below the saints, all beingsregardless of their mightwere but ants. Even the peak Great Luo Dao Ancestors, with their unparalleled mastery of time and space, were no exception. For all their power to create and destroy parallel universes and multiverses, they were still vulnerable to the will of the saints. In the presence of a saint, even immortality became conditional. A saints will could prevent their return from death, rendering their so-called immortality meaningless. Taiyis expression hardened, his Chaos Bell floating above him. The Primordial Purple Qi in Hongyuns possessionit must be ours, he declared. Emperor Jun nodded gravely. You are right. Without it, the demon clan stands no chance against the saints. We must act swiftly. The Primordial Purple Qi, a key to achieving sainthood, was their only hope of elevating one of them to saintly status. Only then could the Heavenly Court stand as a true rival to the saints, securing its dominance over the Primordial Chaos. Without this power, the demon clan and their celestial court would be annihilated at the saints whim. Only a saint can contend with a saint, Emperor Jun concluded. Without this, we are nothing but pawns in their grand design. Sarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. At the same time, in the Blood Sea of the Netherworld, Patriarch Minghe, ruler of the Ashura race, observed the saints ascension with a burning ambition of his own. Using the Ashura clan as his foundation, Minghe established the Ashura Dao, seeking to achieve sainthood. He gazed expectantly toward the heavens, awaiting the descent of boundless merit to aid his ascension. However, his anticipation was met with bitter disappointment. Though the heavens acknowledged his efforts, the merit granted fell far short of what was needed for sanctification. Chapter 5 - Patriarch Minghe’s Defiance and Kunpeng’s Frenzied Envy Chapter 5: Patriarch Minghes Defiance and Kunpengs Frenzied EnvyDespite the descent of golden radiance from the heavens, the reward was meagre, barely cloaking Patriarch Minghe in its glow. For an Infinite Great Luo Dao Ancestor such as himself, this amount of merit was meaningless, leaving his cultivation utterly unchanged. Minghes expression darkened, and he erupted into a tirade against the heavens, feeling the unfairness of it all. When Nuwa achieved sainthood by creating humanity, he had imitated her by creating the Ashura Clan, hoping to ascend as well. Yet, despite the immense power of his Ashura Clan, which far exceeded that of humanity, the heavens merely bestowed a few specks of meritinsufficient for achieving sainthood or even advancing his current state. Now, with the saints establishing their sects among humanity and receiving immeasurable merit for doing so, Minghe felt an even deeper injustice. He attempted to emulate them, founding the Ashura Sect, yet the merit granted was pitiful. It did not move his cultivation in the slightest, leaving him in a state of unrelenting fury. To Minghe, the heavens were blatantly partial. The six saints were disciples of Hongjun and favoured by the heavens, leaving him sidelined despite his efforts. Resentment and envy surged within him, coalescing into a latent murderous intenta Heaven-Slaying Will directed toward the very heavens themselves. Minghe buried this intent deep within his heart, ensuring it remained undetected. Even the Heavenly Dao, vast and nearly omnipotent, could not perceive the inner workings of a Great Luo beings mind. As a being whose essence spanned the multiverse, Minghes existence was intertwined with the myriad worlds. His unique Dao Mark, etched into the fabric of existence, formed a new path of the Great Dao. Although Great Luo entities fell short of the Boundless Primordial Realm, their autonomy and sanctity were inviolable. Even saints could not forcibly search their memories or manipulate their minds. To attempt such an act would violate the fundamental principles of the Dao. This sanctity was the pride of all Great Luo beings, safeguarding them from undue interference by those who had ascended to sainthood. Sar?h the N?vel(F)ire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As Minghe contemplated his situation, a realisation dawned. Is it the lack of Primordial Purple Qi? he muttered, recalling the words of Hongjun. The six saints had each ascended with the help of Primordial Purple Qi, which Hongjun had declared to be the cornerstone of sainthood. However, all six strands of this vital energy had already been distributed and used. Minghes frustration deepened. He couldnt challenge the saints to claim their essence, and requesting it from Hongjun was tantamount to courting death. But then, his eyes gleamed with realisation. Hongyun! He still has a strand of Primordial Purple Qi, and he has yet to ascend. If he cannot use it, then it is mine to take! Meanwhile, deep within the Northern Sea, a grand, grey palace housed a sullen figure: Kunpeng. Enveloped by the oppressive aura of the six saints, Kunpeng seethed with rage and frustration. The presence of the saints reminded him of a bitter truthhis lost opportunity to ascend. Damn it! Kunpeng snarled. I should have been a saint! Hongyun, you ruined my destiny. Today, I will take your life and claim what is mine! Kunpengs hatred burned with unrelenting intensity, his resentment manifesting in waves of murderous intent. His gaze turned toward Wuzhuang Temple, where Hongyun resided, vowing to make him pay. At Wuzhuang Temple, Hongyun was in deep discussion with Zhen Yuanzi, unaware of the storm brewing around him. A faint sense of foreboding stirred in his heart, but he dismissed it as paranoia. Daoist Hongyun, Zhen Yuanzi said, his tone grave, you should focus on refining the Primordial Purple Qi to ascend to sainthood. If you delay, a calamity may fall upon you. Hongyun, ever trusting and naive, waved away the warning. Who would dare to act against me? This Qi was a gift from Hongjun himselfsurely no one would be so brazen as to challenge his will. Zhen Yuanzi, however, remained sceptical. He could foresee that if Hongyun did not act swiftly, the danger surrounding him would only grow. Chapter 6 - The Primordial Purple Qi Formed by the Golden Finger – A Gift for Emperor Jun and Taiyi Chapter 6: The Primordial Purple Qi Formed by the Golden Finger C A Gift for Emperor Jun and TaiyiHongyun was not a disciple of Hongjun, so those coveting his Primordial Purple Qi had no reservations about targeting him. Daoist Brother, please dont worry. I was planning to leave Wuzhuang Temple to travel for some enlightenment, Hongyun said casually, showing little concern. He even expressed his intention to venture outside, much to Zhen Yuanzis dismay. Zhen Yuanzis expression darkened. He urgently advised Hongyun to stay within the safety of Wuzhuang Temple and focus on refining the Primordial Purple Qi. However, as a Great Luo Dao Ancestor, Hongyuns will was unshakable, even by someone as esteemed as Zhen Yuanzi. Sighing, Zhen Yuanzi resigned himself to quietly keeping watch over Hongyun. As the era of saints began to reshape the Primordial Chaos, turmoil brewed. Waves of upheaval swept across the realm, shocking countless mighty beings. The influence of the saints even extended beyond the Primordial Chaos, drawing the attention of terrifying entities from the myriad worlds. These observers ranged from Innate Taiyi Golden Immortals to Great Luo Dao Ancestors, and even entities in the Boundless Primordial Realm. Some approached the edges of the Primordial Chaos, seemingly awaiting an opportunity to act. Within the Heavenly Court, atop the Fusang Tree, Xia Tian withdrew his gaze, his heart trembling in awe. The presence of the saints was utterly incomprehensible to him, surpassing all reason and logic. Will I ever have a chance to attain sainthood in my lifetime? Xia Tian murmured, though he quickly recognised the improbability of such a feat. To achieve even the Great Luo realm would be an extraordinary stroke of fortune for him. Suddenly, a vibration emanated from the Gate of Chaos within his mind. A flood of information streamed through, leaving Xia Tian stunned and ecstatic. Eagerly, he closed his eyes, projecting his consciousness into his Upper Dantianthe Purple Mansion of his spiritual core. Within his mental world, a grand and boundless realm unfolded. At its centre burned the infinite flames of the Great Dao. Seated amidst this splendour was a palm-sized golden figure, its features identical to Xia Tians. This was his Primordial Spirit, formed the moment he entered the Primordial Chaos as a member of the Golden Crow Clan. This spirit, imbued with an aura of eternal vitality, granted Xia Tian immense powerenough to obliterate entire star systems with ease. The figure extended its hand, summoning the Gate of Chaos from the depths of his mind. The colossal, chaotic-coloured portal materialised in the centre of his spiritual realm. The gate trembled, and from its centre poured a stream of purple radiance, condensing into a beam that rested in Xia Tians hand. It was Primordial Purple Qi, formed by the Gate of Chaos. According to the information provided by the gate, this was a high-configuration version of the Primordial Purple Qi, created after the gate absorbed certain energies upon entering the Primordial Chaos. This Purple Qi was of unparalleled value, surpassing even the rarest innate treasures of the Primordial Chaos. While innate treasures could not confer sainthood, Primordial Purple Qi could. Even Taiyi, with his mighty Chaos Bell, would gladly trade it for the chance to ascend. Xia Tian marvelled at the purple radiance in his hand. Within it, he perceived the essence of countless worlds forming and dissolvinga boundless and awe-inspiring energy. The temptation to merge with the Purple Qi and attain a godlike realm tugged at his heart. Yet, after a moments hesitation, Xia Tian decided against it. At his current strength, merging with the Purple Qi would only elevate him to the Great Luo Realm at best. The potential for sainthood was far beyond his grasp. Even Hongyun, who possessed a strand of Primordial Purple Qi, had yet to achieve sainthood. Sar?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Xia Tian resolved to offer the Purple Qi to his father, Emperor Jun, and his uncle, Taiyi. Their vast power and influence made them far better suited to utilise the Purple Qi to its full potential. If either of them could ascend, it would solidify the Heavenly Courts position and provide a counterbalance to the six saints. The saints will was nearly synonymous with the will of the heavens, leaving the demon clan vulnerable to their influence. Only a saint could truly contend with another saint. Chapter 7 - The Terror of the High-Config Primordial Chaos – Where a Simple Rock Equals a Star Chapter 7: The Terror of the High-Config Primordial Chaos C Where a Simple Rock Equals a StarTime waits for no one. The witch and demon clans are locked in the throes of the calamity and could erupt into their ultimate battle at any moment. Xia Tian knew there wasnt enough time to slowly cultivate and achieve sainthoodan impossible luxury. Even if he merged with the Primordial Purple Qi, elevating himself to the Great Luo Realm, it would only be a fleeting accomplishment. A Great Luo being, impressive as it might seem, was still insignificant amidst the grand schemes of the six saints and other powerful entities in the Primordial Chaos. The saints will was akin to the mandate of heaven, an immutable force shaping the trajectory of existence. Without their sanction, the witch and demon clans were doomed to fade into history. Against this backdrop, Xia Tian resolutely decided to present the Primordial Purple Qi to his father, Emperor Jun, and uncle, Taiyi. If one of them could attain sainthood, the demon clan would gain a foothold in the Primordial Chaos, shielding themselves from annihilation. Fortunately, Xia Tians Gate of Chaos held the potential to form more strands of Primordial Purple Qi by altering the course of history. Offering this first strand to Emperor Jun or Taiyi would catalyse seismic changes in the Primordial Chaos, perhaps even preventing the destruction of the Heavenly Court or the fall of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. The decision made, Xia Tian emerged from the radiance surrounding the Fusang Tree, his form now resembling a handsome young man in a pristine white robe. The fiery aura of the Golden Crow flames that had previously engulfed him subsided, leaving the space serene once more. The sacred energy shield established by Emperor Jun and Taiyi ensured that even the overwhelming presence of the saints didnt disturb the Golden Crow princes resting nearby. Without hesitation, Xia Tian descended from the Fusang Tree, leaving the sacred Tang Valley. Greetings, Crown Prince, the two demon guards stationed outside the valley greeted him respectfully, hesitating as they recalled Emperor Jun and Taiyis instructions to prevent the Golden Crow princes from wandering beyond Tang Valley. Ultimately, they dared not obstruct Xia Tian. Their status as ordinary Golden Immortals made such an attempt futile, and they lacked the courage to challenge a direct descendant of Emperor Jun. With a faint nod, Xia Tian transformed into a streak of golden light, heading toward the Heavenly Court. As he travelled, Xia Tian marvelled at the vast expanse of the Primordial Chaos. The sky and earth stretched endlessly, suffused with a primal, chaotic aura. Every inch of space shimmered with Innate Chaos Essence, while rules and laws of existence materialised and evolved continuously, weaving infinite mysteries into the fabric of reality. Here, the Primordial Chaos was so vast and stable that even an ordinary rock was no mere stone. Every pebble contained energy potent enough to rival stars. In the ordinary worlds, such a stone could transform into a colossal celestial body akin to Earth. Even the smallest speck of dust floating in the void could manifest as a towering mountain or a minor asteroid in lesser realms. The sheer scale and power of the Primordial Chaos were beyond imagination. Xia Tians awe deepened as he observed that even the most unassuming aspects of this world held incredible value. The grasses growing wild along the roads werent mere vegetation; they were celestial-grade treasures. If transplanted to an ordinary world, such a plant would instantly awaken intelligence and ascend to a divine level, capable of becoming a supreme demon god. The stability of the void itself was unparalleled, requiring the strength of a Golden Immortal to tear through it. The crushing pressure of the atmosphere ensured that only beings comparable to stars in size and mass could exist within this realm. Even Earth Immortals, the first tier of the Immortal Dao, had the power of stars. Their sheer might could obliterate celestial bodies, and only beings of this calibre could survive within the Primordial Chaos. Any lesser creatureno matter how extraordinary in a smaller worldwould be crushed instantly.

As Xia Tian soared through the boundless skies of the Primordial Chaos, he reflected on its enormity. What he had witnessed so far was only a fraction of its vastness, an unfathomable expanse where every fragment of existence brimmed with unparalleled power and potential. Even with his extraordinary spiritual sight, capable of perceiving across billions of light-years, he found himself humbled by the sheer majesty of this realm. Chapter 8 - Xia Tian Leaves Tang Valley, Arriving at the Heavenly Court and the Lingxiao Palace Chapter 8: Xia Tian Leaves Tang Valley, Arriving at the Heavenly Court and the Lingxiao PalaceDespite his formidable spiritual abilities, Xia Tian could only observe a limited area of the Primordial Chaosa few tens of millions of kilometres at best. Compared to the boundless expanse of the Primordial Chaos, even trillions of light-years were akin to a speck of dust. The enormity of the Primordial Chaos was beyond imagination, encompassing infinite dimensions, countless timelines, and unending worlds. A vast multiverse spanning billions of light-years paled in comparison to the high-configuration version of the Primordial Chaos, which Xia Tian now traversed. Though his inherited memories had prepared him for the majesty of this realm, experiencing it firsthand left Xia Tian awestruck. Having stepped beyond Tang Valley, Xia Tian remained within the boundaries of the Heavenly Court. The valley, situated in the Celestial Realm, was still a part of the broader domain controlled by the demon clan. His immediate goal was to deliver the Primordial Purple Qi to Emperor Jun and Taiyi, but Xia Tian had already resolved to explore the greater Primordial Chaos afterward. First, however, he needed to strengthen his cultivation, reach the Golden Immortal Realm, and fully master his powers. Unlike the original Golden Crow prince, Xia Tian bore no condescension toward others. His unique perspective as a transmigrator granted him a sense of humility rare among the royal progeny of the demon clan. With a resounding crack, Xia Tian tore through the void and arrived at the Heavenly Court. The splendour of the realm unfolded before hima boundless sea of clouds filled with floating pavilions, celestial palaces, and radiant halls. Beams of golden light intertwined with iridescent rays, creating an ethereal vista of divine majesty. At the centre of this resplendent scene stood the Lingxiao Palace, an enormous structure that exuded supreme authority. The name  (Lingxiao Palace) was inscribed above its gates in characters brimming with unparalleled power, each word capable of obliterating entire worlds. As Xia Tian made his way toward the palace, demon clan members he encountered along the way bowed deeply. Greetings, Crown Prince. Welcome, Your Highness. Sear?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Salutations, Great Prince. The respect shown to Xia Tian was genuine, though tinged with confusion. Unlike his arrogant siblings, Xia Tian conducted himself with humility, returning each greeting with equal courtesy. The demon warriors and attendants were astonished. The once overbearing and condescending Golden Crow princes had never displayed such manners. Many speculated that the eldest prince had undergone a profound change in personality, perhaps even a transformation of character. Upon reaching the Lingxiao Palace, Xia Tian beheld its towering grandeur. Its vastness was overwhelming, exuding an air of invincibility. Without hesitation, he stepped inside. Within the hall, dozens of figures stood in two orderly rows. At the pinnacle of the chamber, seated upon thrones that emanated cosmic power, were Emperor Jun and Taiyi, their forms shrouded in the brilliance of the Great Luo Realm. Behind them, chaotic halos revealed glimpses of infinite timelines and dimensions, their very presence shaping the fabric of existence. The gathered assembly comprised the elite of the demon clan. The weakest among them were Innate Dao Lords, while those at the forefrontincluding Fuxi and Kunpengwere at the peak of the Great Luo Realm. Other prominent figures, such as the demon saints Bai Ze and Ji Meng, exuded equally formidable auras. Xia Tians attention turned to Emperor Jun and Taiyi, his nominal father and uncle, respectively. These two figures, the supreme rulers of the demon clan and architects of the Heavenly Court, were also among the most powerful beings in the Primordial Chaos. The atmosphere in the hall was tense as Emperor Jun addressed the gathered elites. The Primordial Purple Qi held by Hongyun must be acquired, he declared. Now that Hongyun has left Wuzhuang Temple, the opportunity is ripe. Prepare yourselves. The assembly nodded in agreement, their expressions resolute. Yet, amidst the consensus, Kunpengs face darkened. Kunpengs heart burned with rage and frustration. He had long considered the Primordial Purple Qi in Hongyuns possession to be his. Now, the involvement of Emperor Jun and Taiyi threatened to upend his plans. While Kunpeng harboured ambitions of seizing the Purple Qi for himself, he was powerless to defy the rulers of the Heavenly Court. Taiyis strength, bolstered by the Chaos Bell, placed him among the most formidable beings in existence. Kunpeng clenched his fists, suppressing his bitterness. For now, he could only endure and await his chance. Chapter 9 - Emperor Jun and Taiyi Plot the Ambush of Hongyun to Seize the Primordial Purple Qi Chapter 9: Emperor Jun and Taiyi Plot the Ambush of Hongyun to Seize the Primordial Purple QiDespite Kunpengs comparable strength to Taiyi, the disparity between their treasures was insurmountable. Kunpeng possessed only a High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, while Taiyi wielded the Chaos Bell, a fragment of a Chaos Supreme Treasure. The Chaos Bell was infinitely more powerful, surpassing ordinary innate treasures with its unparalleled properties. If the two clashed, Kunpeng would undoubtedly face swift defeat, unable to withstand the Chaos Bells overwhelming might. In the Lingxiao Palace, Emperor Jun addressed the gathered demon elites with a new strategy: I recently devised a formation based on insights from the River Chart and Luo Book, named the Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation. Once perfected, this formation will leave Hongyun with no escape. Familiarise yourselves with it. The announcement sent ripples through the gathered leaders. Congratulations, Your Majesty. With this formation, our demon clan is destined to rise to greatness, remarked Fuxi, offering a deferential bow. Although reluctant to join the Heavenly Court initially, Fuxi had little choice as a member of the demon clan. He had been personally invited by Emperor Jun and Taiyi, and his refusal would have been impossible amidst the looming confrontation between the witch and demon clans. Fuxis inclusion in the Heavenly Court bolstered its strength considerably. Now, the court counted six Great Luo-level beings among its ranks: Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Emperor Junand TaiyiKunpengand FuxiThe demon saints Bai Ze, Ji Meng, and others. While the witch clan had twelve Great Luo beings, only twoDijiang and Zhu Jiuyinwere at the peak of the realm. In contrast, the demon clans six Great Luo beings included four at the pinnacle, establishing a balance of power. This balance had not always existed. During an earlier war, the witch clan devastated the demon court, driving Emperor Jun and Taiyi to the brink of defeat. The twelve witches Twelve Heavenly Gods Formation summoned the True Form of Pangu, an entity whose power nearly reached that of a saint. The demon clan was spared annihilation only by the intervention of Hongjun, halting the witches rampage. Since then, Emperor Jun had sought to strengthen the court. With the newly devised Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation, the tides of war could shift. This formation, when fully activated, was said to approach saintly power. Though it could not rival a true saint, it would provide a fighting chance against the witch clans devastating formation. The palace buzzed with anticipation. With the Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation, we need no longer fear the Twelve Heavenly Gods Formation, exclaimed Bai Ze, his excitement evident. Even Kunpeng, who harboured resentment toward the Heavenly Court, couldnt suppress his astonishment. Kunpengs initial reluctance to join the court stemmed from his unwillingness to subordinate himself to Emperor Jun and Taiyi. However, he had been forcibly subdued and compelled to swear allegiance to the court under the witness of Nuwa. Though Kunpeng still harboured animosity, he recognised the strategic importance of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation. Congratulations, Your Majesty! With this formation and Hongyuns Primordial Purple Qi, our Heavenly Court shall reign supreme, dominating the Primordial Chaos, Fuxi declared, his tone both admiring and hopeful. The promise of supremacy spurred the demon leaders into action, each eager to contribute to the courts rise. At that moment, Xia Tian entered the Lingxiao Palace. Hearing the discussions, he immediately understood the context: the impending ambush on Hongyun. Greetings, Father. Greetings, Uncle, Xia Tian said, bowing respectfully to Emperor Jun and Taiyi. The room fell silent as the gathered leaders turned their attention to Xia Tian. Emperor Juns expression darkened as he addressed his son: Did I not command you to remain in Tang Valley and focus on your cultivation? Why are you wandering about so freely? Chapter 10 - Offering the Primordial Purple Qi – Emperor Jun and Taiyis Elation Chapter 10: Offering the Primordial Purple Qi C Emperor Jun and Taiyis ElationDespite his initial scolding, Emperor Juns fondness for Xia Tian was evident. He deeply cherished his ten Golden Crow offspring. After all, it was their slaughter by Houyi that had led to the catastrophic war between the demon and witch clans, leaving both sides devastated. Sar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Xia Tian stepped forward and said, Father, I have something of great importance to report. Emperor Jun, momentarily taken aback, replied, What is it? Glancing around at the numerous demon clan leaders present, Xia Tian hesitated. This is not the place to discuss it. While Emperor Jun initially dismissed his sons insistence, Xia Tians resolve piqued his curiosity. Very well, wait until our current discussions are complete. With a slight bow, Xia Tian stepped aside, listening intently as the court deliberated strategies to claim Hongyuns Primordial Purple Qi. The assembly debated for hours. Emperor Jun and Taiyi, alongside their advisors, meticulously planned their ambush. Xia Tian, standing silently, couldnt help but reflect on the significance of the Purple Qi. He recognised it as part of Hongjuns schemes. Even if his father and uncle succeeded in defeating Hongyun, they might never truly gain possession of the treasure. Finally, after three hours, Emperor Jun dismissed the council. Prepare the formation and be ready to act tomorrow, he instructed. As the court emptied, only Emperor Jun, Taiyi, and Xia Tian remained in the Lingxiao Palace. Emperor Jun turned to his son. Now, tell me whats so important, he said, his tone less stern. Xia Tian glanced around the grand hall. Father, are you certain no one can spy on us here? Both Emperor Jun and Taiyi chuckled. Emperor Jun replied, In this palace, not even a saint can peer in without alerting us. Reassured, Xia Tian nodded. With a wave of his hand, a violet light materialised. The moment the light appeared, the entire palace seemed to resonate with an indescribable aura. Emperor Jun and Taiyi felt an unmistakable saintly presence, momentarily convinced that a saint had descended. Their eyes widened as they identified the object in Xia Tians hand: Primordial Purple Qi. Impossible! Emperor Jun exclaimed, his voice trembling. Taiyi, equally shocked, stood abruptly, his Chaos Bell ringing out in response. Holding the glowing violet aura, Xia Tian spoke calmly. Father, this is indeed Primordial Purple Qi, a treasure I acquired by chance. I offer it to you, so that you may ascend to sainthood and lead the demon clan to glory. Without hesitation, Xia Tian handed the Qi to Emperor Jun. The usually composed ruler struggled to contain his excitement, his hands trembling as he accepted the priceless gift. This is indeed Primordial Purple Qi, Emperor Jun murmured, his voice heavy with disbelief. Moments later, his joy overflowed. Excellent! You are truly my son, the hope of our demon clan and Heavenly Court! Both Emperor Jun and Taiyi were moved beyond words. This act of selflessnesssacrificing a treasure capable of elevating oneself to sainthoodwas extraordinary. For a fleeting moment, they wondered if they could have done the same. The answer was clear. The rarity of such altruism struck them deeply. It solidified Xia Tians position not just as a dutiful son but as the cornerstone of the Heavenly Courts future. Chapter 11 - Emperor Jun’s Seclusion – Refining the Primordial Purple Qi for Sainthood Chapter 11: Emperor Juns Seclusion C Refining the Primordial Purple Qi for SainthoodThe Primordial Purple Qi, a treasure surpassing even the Great Dao, now lay in Emperor Juns possession, a surreal moment he could barely believe. Its presence represented an opportunity so rare that even saints would covet it. Emperor Jun and Taiyi were acutely aware of how slim their chances had been to seize the Purple Qi from Hongyun. Beyond the resistance of the Twelve Ancestors of Wu, countless other powerful entities would intervene to prevent such a monumental shift in balance. The likelihood of success had always been infinitesimal. Now, with the treasure handed over willingly by Xia Tian, Emperor Jun could barely contain his gratitude and relief. Standing beside him, Taiyi shared in the joy. He harboured no jealousy towards his brothers impending ascension, his admiration and hope for their clans future shone through. Congratulations, elder brother. Soon, you shall stand among the saints, Taiyi declared, his voice filled with genuine elation. The bond between Emperor Jun and Taiyi was unshakeable. Born as celestial manifestations of the Sun Star, their connection ran deeper than even that of the Western saints, Zhunti and Jieyin. Taiyi harboured no resentment; he remained confident in his own eventual ascension. The essence of a Da Luo Daozu was rooted in the certainty of the Great Dao. To reach sainthood was inevitable, given enough time. Since fate has blessed me with this treasure, I will waste no time. I shall enter seclusion immediately to refine the Purple Qi and prepare for sainthood, Emperor Jun declared, his tone resolute. However, he turned to Taiyi with a grave reminder. Though this treasure grants me an unprecedented opportunity, we cannot abandon our plans for Hongyuns Qi. Lead our forces tomorrow. If success eludes us, no harm will come; but should fortune favour us, our clans destiny shall rise even further. sea??h th N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Taiyi nodded in understanding. Before retreating, Emperor Jun turned his gaze to Xia Tian, his expression softening. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a radiant object. A white jade tome, emanating profound divine light, appeared in his grasp. This is the Hetu and Luoshu, my personal Dao treasure. Take it with you as protection, my son. It shall shield you from harm and conceal your divine flames while you traverse the world, Emperor Jun said warmly, handing the treasure to Xia Tian. Xia Tian accepted the tome reverently, marvelling at its infinite depth. Within its luminous glow, it seemed to encompass entire worlds and dimensions, an ultimate tool for both protection and enlightenment. Thank you, Father, Xia Tian said, his voice trembling with gratitude. With a final nod to his son and brother, Emperor Jun vanished, retreating to the deepest sanctum of the Heavenly Court to begin his arduous journey of refinement. Though the treasure was now his, sainthood would not come easily. Even the Three Purities and other saints had required considerable time to fully comprehend the essence of the Purple Qi. As the doors to Emperor Juns sanctuary closed, Taiyi and Xia Tian stepped out of the Lingxiao Palace. Standing atop the vast Honghuang Earth, Xia Tian gazed out at the boundless horizon. The colossal expanse before him was a stark contrast to the constraints he had felt in the Heavenly Court. For the first time since his arrival in this world, he felt a profound sense of freedom. With his father now poised to ascend and his own path ahead, Xia Tians worries began to ease. His heart swelled with determination. He had been gifted the chance to not only survive but also thrive in this perilous, divine realm. Chapter 12 - I, the Crown Prince of the Demon Court, Become the Sage Master of Humanity Chapter 12: I, the Crown Prince of the Demon Court, Become the Sage Master of Humanity Despite his status as the eldest of the Ten Golden Crows, Xia Tian felt uneasefor destiny had marked him for doom in this treacherous epoch. Unlike Lu Ya, his younger sibling destined to rise anew, his fate seemed sealed, foreshadowed by the very tides of the universe. Yet, with the acquisition of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, a glimmer of hope emerged. If Di Jun could ascend to sainthood, the tides of fate would inevitably shift, securing the Demon Courts survival and safeguarding Xia Tians precarious existence. After all, a saints will commands the Dao, transcending mere destiny. Although Xia Tian possessed the luxury of an alternativehis soul might depart this realm and traverse new worlds through the mysterious portal of the Honghuang Gatehe dared not risk it. The thought of annihilation, where both body and soul perished entirely, weighed heavily on him. Furthermore, the loss of his Golden Crow vessel would sever his link to this magnificent plane, denying him future access to the treasures of Honghuang. Such an outcome was unacceptable. As he gazed upon the vast expanse of Honghuang, Xia Tians attention drifted toward the burgeoning Human Clan. Despite his current embodiment as a Golden Crow prince, the essence of his humanity persisteda deep-seated identity that beckoned him to explore this newly created race. The Human Clan, though nascent, had flourished rapidly since their divine creation by the esteemed Nuwa. With a population nearing tens of billions, they were now a force to be reckoned with in Honghuang. The dissemination of the Golden Core Dao by the Supreme Saint had further bolstered their capabilities, allowing a select few to ascend to the celestial realm of immortality. Among them, the three Human Ancestors stood tall, achieving the formidable realm of Primordial Immortality. However, the majority remained at the foundational stages, their cultivation journeys only beginning. Despite their modest power, the Human Clans potential was undeniable. Born with innate Taoist physiques and deeply favoured by the heavens, their future prominence was assured. As the destined protagonists of the epoch, their rise would eclipse the fading glory of the Demon and Wu Clans. Xia Tian resolved to establish a foothold among humanity, envisioning an alliance that would secure both their prosperity and his ambitions. With such aspirations in mind, he traversed the void, swiftly arriving at the domain of the Human Clan. Here, he observed their struggles and triumphs, silently admiring their tenacity. Through subtle interventions, Xia Tian ingratiated himself into their society, becoming a revered figure among a prominent tribal settlement. His insights, drawn from the advancements of future worlds, introduced revolutionary methods that empowered the Human Clan to thrive amid the dangers of Honghuang. He refrained, however, from divulging knowledge too advanced for their era, ensuring a balance between progress and tradition. One day, as Xia Tian meditated in a grand grey templethe ceremonial hub of the Bear Tribe, the Human Clans foremost settlementan elder burst in, his face etched with urgency. Sage Master! A monstrous beast has invaded our lands, wreaking havoc upon our people. Your intervention is our only hope! he implored. Rising from his tranquil state, Xia Tian nodded solemnly. Lead the way, he commanded, following the elder to the outskirts of the settlement. Before him lay a scene of devastation. A titanic, snow-white tiger, adorned with wings, rampaged through the tribe, its predatory fury unrelenting. Xia Tians expression hardened as he extended his hand. A colossal palm, vast enough to shroud the heavens, materialised above the beast. With an earth-shattering force, it descended, subduing the monstrous creature in an instant. Immobilised, the tigers ferocity dissipated, its immense form shrinking until it fit within Xia Tians grasp. The gathered tribespeople erupted in jubilant cheers. Sage Master is invincible! they cried, their voices resounding with reverence. Acknowledging their adulation with a slight nod, Xia Tian returned to his temple. There, he contemplated the broader implications of his presence within the Human Clan. For now, the bond between the Human Clan and the Demon Court remained amicable. As creations of Nuwa, a demon saint, humanity was perceived by many demons as kin. Yet, historical records forewarned of an inevitable schism. The discovery that consuming humans could enhance demonic cultivation, coupled with humanitys latent ability to counter the Wu Clan, would incite conflict of unprecedented magnitude. Reflecting on these foreboding events, Xia Tian resolved to preempt the cycle of animosity. By fostering mutual respect and collaboration between the two clans, he aspired to avert the catastrophic downfall that history foretold. sea??h th Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 13 - Xia Tian’s Declaration: Chapter 13: Xia Tians Declaration: From Now On, My Demon Clan Shall Be the Pillar of the Human ClanReflecting on the histories of other primordial worlds, Xia Tian shook his head resolutely. He would not allow the same cycle of tragedy between the Yao and Human clans to unfold here. No longer would the Yao massacre the Humans, only for the Humans in future generations to rise in vengeance and decimate the Yao. It was nothing but self-destruction. After all, the two clans were never meant to harbour hatred or conflict. In many ways, the Human clan was but an extension of the Demon Clan, their roots intertwined deeply. Humans, after all, were created by Nuwa, an undisputed saint of the Demon Clan. This bestowed a certain prestige upon the Human clan within the Yao lineage. By this divine association, the Humans could be regarded as a core element of the Yao. Bearing the bloodline of Nuwa, the Humans were effectively a royal lineage of the Yao, second only to the Golden Crow clan in hierarchy. With this realisation, Xia Tian rose abruptly. Above him, the River Diagram and the Luo Book manifested, radiating boundless brilliance. With a thunderous roar, his voice surged across the vast primordial realm, traversing countless dimensions and time itself: I am Xia Tian, Crown Prince of the Demon Clan. Recognising that the Human clan was created by the saintly Nuwa Empress, they shall henceforth be regarded as a royal lineage under the protection of the Demon Clan. Any who dare harm the Humans shall be challenging the Heavenly Court, the Golden Crow clan, and me, Xia Tian. Let the Heavenly Dao bear witness! A resounding crash echoed as Xia Tian invoked the River Diagram and the Luo Book, unleashing an innate divine aura that rippled across all realms and dimensions, shaking the very fabric of existence. The heavens seemed to quiver, and the Dao itself acknowledged his proclamation. From the heavens, an immense golden light of merit descended, enveloping Xia Tian in a radiant pillar. Though it could not compare to the boundless merits of the saints, its magnitude was still overwhelming. This infusion of merit propelled Xia Tians cultivation to unprecedented heights, elevating him to the Gold Immortal realm. Sarch* The ovelFire.et website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Xia Tians transformation was profound. His body and primordial spirit metamorphosed into the World Body and Primal Chaos Spirit, granting him mastery over the Dao. With a gesture, he could weave infinite laws, commanding unparalleled might. In ordinary grand universes, a Gold Immortal would be regarded as a sovereign, capable of shaking the very cosmos. Even in death, their essence could give birth to star systems spanning billions of light-years. Such was the terrifying grandeur of a Gold Immortala pinnacle of post-celestial existence. This realm marked the utmost limit of post-celestial life. Beyond it lay the path of ascension to innate divinity, transcending the boundaries of time and space to attain the title of Dao Sovereign. Gold Immortals, in their mastery, governed the World Dao, an essence far superior to mere laws. The Dao, in its infinite permutations, surpassed all constraints, interlinking countless worlds and dimensions. As Xia Tian ascended, his inner world transformed. The essence coursing through him, once the source of mid-world energy, evolved into the vast origin energy of grand worlds. Each drop of his blood now bore the potential to create galaxies spanning billions of light-years, his entire being an infinite expanse. At the peak of the Gold Immortal realm, Xia Tians might was unparalleled. Yet, the merit alone could not elevate him further. To ascend to innate sanctity, the merit required would rival that granted to saints during the grandest acts of creationsuch as Nuwas creation of humanity. Even then, saints relied not solely on merit but transcendent enlightenment of the Dao. Chapter 14 - Integrating the Human Clan into the Yao Clans Framework Chapter 14: Integrating the Human Clan into the Yao Clans FrameworkThe saints path to their exalted status rarely relied solely on merit. Instead, it often involved the Hngmng Zq (Primordial Violet Qi) or other extraordinary elements. Relying purely on merit, even attaining the rank of Dlu Do Z (Great Luo Dao Ancestor) was nearly impossible. Elevating a cultivator to innate sanctity through merit alone was an immense achievement, requiring an unimaginable amount. To reach the sainthood tier, was even more implausible. Merit? Xi Tin murmured, his gaze lingering on the golden light surrounding him. A momentary flicker of surprise crossed his face before realisation dawned. Its not so surprising. By ensuring the safety of the Human Clan, countless lives will be saved. Such merit is only to be expected. Sarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Deep within the Youxiong Tribe, the Human clan reeled with disbelief. The revelation that their Shngsh (Holy Teacher) was actually the Crown Prince of the Yoz Tintng (Yao Heavenly Court) was shocking. However, their initial astonishment quickly gave way to relief and elation. With the Yoz (Demon clan) as their protectors, they no longer needed to fear persecution by the myriad races of the Hnghung. In the grand scheme of the Hnghung, the Human clan stood among the weakest clans, their existence still nascent. While the saints Tai Shang and Nuwa had a historical connection to them, the support of these saints was limited. The other saints showed no involvement at all. Furthermore, even Tai Shang and Nuwa refrained from extensive interference, allowing them to develop independently. This lack of strong backing left the Human clan vulnerable to the aggression of stronger tribes. Xi Tins declaration that the Demon clan would act as their guardians was therefore a momentous shift. The Humans welcomed this alliance eagerly. Without any historical enmity between the two clans, the bond was mutually beneficial. The resounding proclamation from Xi Tin echoed across the vast expanse of the Hnghung, drawing the attention of many powerful beings. Even the six saints turned their focus to the Youxiong Tribe. In the Tiqng Tin (Three Pure Heavens), within the tranquil halls of the Tiqng Gng (The Palace of Supreme Purity), Loz momentarily paused his alchemical work, his gaze piercing through the void as he observed the unfolding events. His brows furrowed in thought, Chapter 15 - The Terrifying Power of the Gate of Hónghuāng – Capable of Influencing Saints! Chapter 15: The Terrifying Power of the Gate of Hnghung C Capable of Influencing Saints!The Demon clans high officials were ecstatic, as Xi Tins identity as the Crown Prince of the Yao Heavenly Court strengthened their alliance with the Human clan. Xi Tin, however, remained composed. With a slight nod, he spoke calmly: This is the supreme inheritance of the Yao Heavenly Court, the Do of the Heavens. It allows direct comprehension up to the realm of Do Sovereigns. I shall leave it here for any of the humans to study. With those words, he raised his hand, and a thunderous sound echoed. A chaotic-coloured monument appeared, adorned with endless Do inscriptions, exuding an aura of profundity. It was as though the monument itself had manifested from the Do. This is the supreme treasure of my Yao Heavenly Court, the H T Lu Sh (The Yellow River Chart and Luo River Writing). I shall place it here to stabilise the humans fate. If anything happens, they can be activated, and I shall immediately be made aware. He gently placed the treasure on the altar behind him. Without waiting for a response from the human leaders, Xi Tin vanished. In truth, Xi Tin entered the internal world of the Yellow River Chart and Luo River Writing. This supreme innate spiritual treasure contained boundless realms, infinite dimensions, and immeasurable space-time. Once inside, Xi Tin used the Gate of Hnghung to return his soul to the Jizhu World. His physical body was shielded by the gates mysterious powers. The moment Xi Tins soul left the Hnghung realm, all traces of his existence vanished from memory. The Yao Heavenly Court now had only nine Crown Princes instead of ten. Even D Jns progeny of the Jnw lineage was said to number nine, not ten. Saints, too, remained unaware of the anomaly. Xi Tins actions and their effects were seamlessly rewritten, leaving no trace of their origin. Whenever Xi Tins soul returned, his existence would once again materialise, perfectly reconnecting with the past. His unprecedented concealment even from saints and the Heavenly Dao was a phenomenon that defied comprehension. Xi Tins ignorance of the full extent of the Gate of Hnghungs powers spared him from boundless awe. He remained unaware that it could obscure him from saints, the Tindo, and even Hngjn himself. The Gate of Hnghung, a treasure surpassing even innate and chaotic spiritual treasures, possessed unimaginable capabilities. Its influence stretched beyond reason, capable of affecting beings of incomprehensible magnitude. As Xi Tins soul re-entered the Jizhu World, he felt disoriented by the stark contrast between realms. Though only half a month had passed in the Hnghung realm, it felt like centuries had elapsed. After surveying his surroundings, Xi Tin shut his eyes to examine his transformed state. Indeed, the cultivation gained in Hnghung cannot be fully carried over, Xi Tin sighed, disappointment briefly flickering in his eyes. Despite this limitation, he discovered his newfound abilities were still extraordinary. Summoning a golden flame, he watched as it flickered in his palm, radiating an intense heat. Even this diluted fragment of his Jnw Divine Flame retained the ability to annihilate near-immortal beings. The transformation extended beyond the flame: his physical form, now greatly enhanced, had ascended to near-mythical levels within Jizhus martial cultivation system. His strength had surged from the Martial Daos innate realm to a level bordering the divine. Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 16 - Each Daluo Represents a New Heavenly Dao Across Worlds Chapter 16: Each Daluo Represents a New Heavenly Dao Across Worlds Currently, the strongest entities known in the world of Jiuzhou were merely Celestial Immortals. As for the legendary beings beyond themAncient Immortals and Ancient Gods, equivalent to Yuan Immortals in the primordial erathey remained shrouded in mystery. The realm of Jiuzhou hosted numerous Earth Immortals and Celestial Immortals. For instance, in the fabled Thirty-Six Celestial Caves, each cave was guarded by a Celestial Immortal. Similarly, the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands housed either one or two Earth Immortals. The current plight of the Great Xia Dynasty was intricately tied to one such Blessed Land. Historically, the dynastys establishment was supported by this Blessed Land. However, as the Great Xias national fortunes waned, the Blessed Land severed its ties to the dynasty, prioritising its survival over loyalty. Without such disassociation, the Blessed Land inevitably suffered from the karmic repercussions of the dynastys downfall, potentially leading to significant devastation. This severance was a stark testament to the precarious state of Great Xia. The dynasty teetered on the brink of collapse, its strength waning like the setting sun. Many astute observers discerned this decline, and opportunistic schemers now exploited the crumbling empire for personal gain. Even the Blessed Land that once supported Great Xia has actively worsened its instability, accelerating its descent into chaos. If not for the presence of a mythical martial artist within the dynastys capitalan individual whose strength rivalled that of immortalsthe Great Xia Dynasty might have already fallen. In the world of Jiuzhou, beneath the realm of gods and demons, two main systems of cultivation prevailed: the Path of Immortal Cultivation and the Martial Dao. The Martial Dao, however, was a less popular practice. While the Martial Dao allowed practitioners to reach the pinnacle of mortal power, comparable to a Half-Immortal, it lacked the longevity and limitless potential of the Immortal Cultivation path. Even the greatest martial artistsmythical warriors on the cusp of immortalityhad a lifespan of only a thousand years, a fraction of the tens of thousands enjoyed by their immortal counterparts. Furthermore, the Martial Dao offered no pathways to divinity or eternal life, with its ultimate achievement being the Mythical Martial Artist level. In contrast, the Immortal Cultivation system progressed far beyond, encompassing Earth Immortals, Celestial Immortals, and even Yuan Immortals. This natural advantage solidified the Immortal Cultivation systems dominance across Jiuzhou. Yet, the Martial Dao had a distinct benefit: it was unaffected by the suppression of imperial fortunes. In the capital of Great Xia, a martial artist could fully utilise their strength, unlike Immortal Cultivators, whose power could be diminished by the imperial aura. This quirk was one of the few reasons the Great Xia Dynasty remained intact, as no Immortal Cultivator dared to act recklessly in the capital, where their strength was significantly reduced. Becoming a Mythical Martial Artist was an extraordinarily arduous journey, far more difficult than achieving a comparable level in the Immortal Cultivation path. Additionally, the Martial Dao required immense resources, often more than what would suffice to train several Loose Immortals or even an Earth Immortal. Given these constraints and the systems lack of longevity, few pursued the Martial Dao. Great Xias ruling elite, shielded by imperial dragon energy, were unable to cultivate immortality and instead relied on the Martial Dao. This reliance has preserved the practice within the imperial family, though it remained an act of necessity rather than choice. Xia Tian, a practitioner of the Martial Dao, was a congenital martial artist in his previous life, equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Upon reincarnation, he merged with a fragment of the Golden Crows essence from the primordial world, catapulting him to the Mythical Martial Artist level. In his current state, Xia Tian was one of only two Mythical Martial Artists in the Great Xia Dynasty. Should he reveal his existence, it would shake the entire world. His strength was such that claiming the imperial throne would be an effortless endeavour. Yet, he refrained, recognising the legal and moral implications such an act would provoke. Furthermore, the Mythical Martial Artist within the palace would likely oppose him. More significantly, Xia Tian contemplated abandoning the Martial Dao altogether to pursue the supreme path of the Golden Crow lineage. As the heir to the Yao Emperor, Di Jun, Xia Tian retains the profound inheritance of this celestial lineage. Unlike conventional methods of cultivation or martial arts, the true masters of the primordial world did not rely on techniques or secret manuals. They cultivate the Dao itself, striving to align their paths with the primordial essence of existence. For instance, a Taiyi Daoist cultivates their own Dao, striving for singularity. Their path converges with the myriad laws of existence, ultimately becoming a new Heavenly Dao imprinted across the multiverse. Such a culmination birthed a Daluo Golden Immortal, a being whose existence added a new facet to the fabric of all creation. The title of Dao Ancestor was thus both earned and literal, signifying their role as progenitors of new cosmic laws. Sar?h the N??elFir.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 17 - The Martial Dao and Immortal Cultivation Systems of Jiuzhou Chapter 17: The Martial Dao and Immortal Cultivation Systems of JiuzhouFor now, such lofty aspirations were premature for Xia Tian. Even with his exalted status as the Yao Tribes Crown Prince in the primordial world, he had only attained the level of Golden Immortal. The title of Daluo Dao Ancestor remained an unfathomable distance away. His current body in the Jiuzhou world was even more deficientfar from reaching immortality, let alone achieving the status of an Innate Dao Lord. However, one thing he no longer had to worry about was longevity. Regardless of whether it was his Jiuzhou body or his primordial one, Xia Tian had transcended mortality. Even this ordinary mortal body in the Jiuzhou world was now immune to the constraints of a finite lifespan, thanks to the fragment of the Golden Crows essence he had carried back from the primordial realm. Though the Martial Dao typically granted its strongest practitionersthe mythical warriorslifespans of only a thousand years, Xia Tians transformed physique promised true immortality. The essence of the Golden Crow had irrevocably reshaped him, rendering him a being untouched by time. His primordial Golden Crow form was a true immortal, classified as an eternal entity even among Golden Immortals. As long as he wasnt killed, his existence would persist indefinitely. Although the essence he had brought back was only a fragment, it was enough to make his Jiuzhou body a true immortal vessel, capable of living millionsor even billionsof years without fear of death. Currently, Xia Tians cultivation in the Jiuzhou world was that of a Half-Step Immortal, equivalent to a Loose Immortal in the Immortal Cultivation system. Yet his mastery over the Golden Crows essence, coupled with its inherent divine flames, elevated his strength to rival that of an Earth Immortal. By conventional standards, Xia Tian could already be regarded as one of the strongest individuals in Jiuzhou, capable of self-preservation and even establishing dominion amid the chaos engulfing the land. Despite this formidable power, Xia Tian saw it as trivial. In the primordial world, his Golden Crow form had wielded the strength of a Golden Immortal, capable of shaking vast realms and bending the fabric of the cosmos. By comparison, his current abilities felt insignificant. This dissatisfaction prompted him to consider abandoning his present cultivation to embrace the supreme Golden Crow Dao he had inherited. The imperial aura of the Great Xia Dynasty was known to suppress Immortal Cultivators, particularly those below the Earth Immortal level. However, Xia Tians Golden Crow Dao was beyond the reach of such constraints. Even in its prime, the Great Xia could suppress only Earth Immortals; a Celestial Immortal could easily obliterate the dynasty with a single strike. The strength of Celestial Immortals was incomprehensible to mortals. With a casual wave, they could annihilate galaxies spanning tens of thousands of light-years. In the grand scheme of the universe, the Great Xia Dynasty was no more than an ant beneath their gaze. However, the Celestial Immortals of Jiuzhou, who presided over the Thirty-Six Celestial Caves, rarely involved themselves in the affairs of the mortal realm. Detached from worldly concerns, they regarded mortal conflicts and imperial upheavals as inconsequential. Sarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The Thirty-Six Celestial Caves were venerated as the ultimate sanctuaries of cultivation, coveted by millions of aspiring Immortal Cultivators. Joining one of these caves granted not only unparalleled status but also access to resources that could drive others to madness with envy. The Seventy-Two Blessed Lands, though slightly inferior, were also revered as sacred training grounds, each presided over by Earth Immortals. Stepping out of his palace chambers, Xia Tian strolled through the Great Xia imperial city. The palace eunuchs and maids respectfully greeted him with slight bows, addressing him as the Third Prince. He acknowledged them with a nod before leaving the palace grounds. The imperial capital, an ancient city with millennia of history, bustled with life. Streets were lined with inns, pawnshops, and storefronts, while the avenues teemed with carriages and crowds. The city exuded a prosperity that belied the dynastys decaying state. Yet this fa?ade was no surprise, as the capital was the heart of Great Xia. If it showed visible signs of famine and ruin, the dynasty would already be beyond salvation. Based on the current trajectory, the Great Xia Dynasty might endure another decade, sustained by its mythical martial artist. However, once this guardian succumbed to the passage of time, the dynasty would face its inevitable demise. Xia Tian, contemplating his next steps, vanished in a flash of light, heading northward to the mountains. He sought solitude to abandon his current cultivation and begin anew. The bustling capital was ill-suited for such a transformative endeavour. Three years had passed in the blink of an eye, during which the Great Xia Dynasty declined further. Rebellions erupted across the land, threatening to engulf the entire realm in chaos. On one fateful day, deep within a vast mountain range tens of thousands of miles from the imperial capital, an extraordinary phenomenon unfolded. A towering mountain shattered with a thunderous roar, its fragments scattering into a haze of dust that cloaked the sky. The earth quaked as a golden radiance emerged, piercing through the gloom like a second sun. Amid this brilliance, a young man clad in black robes appeared, his form radiating divine majesty. Behind him, the ethereal silhouette of an enormous golden birda Golden Crowflashed briefly in the luminous glow.
