Chapter 76: The Name of Primordial Origin

Shortly after the Jade Purity Dao Lord rose and left Jade Capital Mountain.

BOOM!!

Across the vast western continent of the Primordial World, countless cultivators within the numerous God-Demon Dynasties and even within the Spiritual Mountain Blessed Lands suddenly changed their expressions. Two terrifying auras of pressure were felt emanating from the Western Extremity.

Along with an extremely angry roar, all living beings in the Western Extremity were involuntarily plunged into endless fear.

This fear was accompanied by a phenomenon that grew increasingly grand from deep within the Western Extremity. Tremendous fluctuations of a battle became conspicuous.

At the border between the east and west of the Primordial World, a spiritual mountain sat, suppressing a massive Ancestral Vein that stretched from east to west. This mountain was radiant with myriad spiritual lights and condensed with Primordial Dao Charm.

A Taoist temple had long been established upon this spiritual mountain. Emerald clouds of light soared into the sky from the temple, with thousands of auspicious clouds and auspicious qi calming the fear and anxiety in the hearts of the living beings around it.

At this moment, several figures with distinct auras were within the temple, their gazes fixed on the commotion in the Western Extremity.

“That White Emperor Luo Hou from bygone years was truly formidable. Originally, we thought the Black Emperor Ancestral Dragon was the strongest among the Five Emperors. But it seems that White Emperor was also extraordinary. Even a being transformed from his Primordial Spirit after his fall possesses such power!”

The speaker was a red-clothed Divine Demon, with red hair and a jovial, kind expression. Yet even he couldn’t help showing a shaken look at this moment.

“How many powerful beings were born in the Primordial Era? Countless overwhelmingly powerful Innate Great Deities emerged one after another. Although their era has passed, many remain hidden in the shadows. Once those ancient powers stir…”

Another Innate Divine Demon beside him gave a faint smile. He appeared to be in his thirties or forties, wearing an earthy yellow robe with nothing unusual about him. Yet, he was the master of this Mount Longevity.

This Innate Dao Lord secretly shook his head. “Even you and I would find it hard to protect ourselves!”

The implication of his words caused the five Dao Lords present to all wear expressions of apprehension.

This Jade Purity Dao Lord was indeed terrifying.

Nearby, another Innate Dao Lord gazed at the vast, soaring celestial light radiating from the Western Extremity. His eyes flickered slightly.

“It seems those three Dao Lords have finally made their decision!”

Beside him, another Dao Lord in a golden robe heard this and also saw that rising, mysterious celestial light. “Those three have always been ambitious. However, their origins are extraordinary, and they are indeed uniquely favored by heaven. It’s only natural for them to establish the Mystic Gate Immortal Path!”

Sensing the domineering nature of that celestial light, this Innate Dao Lord showed a trace of awe in his eyes.

Among the five Dao Lords, one of the remaining two, a Dao Lord in a water-blue robe, flashed a cold smile. “They probably saw the established Dharma Lineages we founded growing powerful and caught a whiff of something. But to think of acting only now… heh!”

This Dao Lord seemed to harbor quite some hostility towards the Three Purities Dao Lords. The others mostly understood the reasons behind it, their expressions varying.

Rumor had it that the Taiqing Dao Lord, the leader among the Three Purities Dao Lords, also cultivated the Way of Weak Water. From it, he comprehended the principle of ‘the highest good is like water,’ elevated it to Yin and Yang, and subsequently verified it as the Dao of Virtue.

One verification led to several. The Water Origin Dao Lord had once attempted to challenge the Taiqing Dao Lord, nearly losing his life and barely escaping with it. He had held a grudge ever since, and even after achieving the status of an Innate Dao Lord, he still bore resentment.

A green-robed Dao Lord nearby glanced at the blue-robed Dao Lord, a strange light flashing in his eyes as he laughed.

“It is indeed quite late. Nowadays, the Witch God Lineage and the Demon God Lineage have already risen to prominence among the numerous Turbid-Shas Divine Demon Dharma Lineages. Even the Five Elements Dharma Lineage the five of us created is being firmly suppressed by them. For these three Dao Lords to start only now, amidst the prevailing trend of Witches and Demons, it will be difficult for them to amount to anything significant.”

The other Dao Lords exchanged glances, their eyes cool.

The five Dao Lords wore different expressions, each coldly observing the battle in the Western Extremity. Only the yellow-robed Dao Lord felt something peculiar in his heart.

Unlike the other four, he was actually quite interested in that Mystic Gate Immortal Path.

The Three Purities Dao Lords were definitely no ordinary individuals!

One must know, these three Dao Lords were among the first batch of Innate Divine Demons to achieve Innate Dao Lord status in this Tribulation Epoch. Such beings could hardly be mediocre.

While the Mystic Gate Immortal Path seemed to have started far too late, it also avoided the most direct confrontation with the Witch God and Demon God Lineages at their peak.

Have you not seen how the Dao Lords of other Dharma Lineages were either slain by the Innate Dao Lords of the Witch God Lineage or suppressed under various pretexts by the Innate Dao Lords of the Demon God Lineage?

Although the Primordial World is filled with countless dynasties and sacred lands, most have already been taken over by the Witch God and Demon God Lineages.

For the sake of Fortune and the Dao Path, the Witch God and Demon God Lineages have left many Great Divine Powers gasping for breath. Even those ancient Dao Lords have to live in seclusion and cultivate in secret to avoid the limelight of the two Witch and Demon factions.

The yellow-robed Dao Lord swept his gaze over the four Dao Lords before him.

Once, they were considered like-minded friends, having together founded the Five Elements Lineage. They had shared glory and weathered hardships together.

However, as the Five Elements Lineage developed and grew, the balance of power shifted. Except for the Red Cloud Daoist who was of one mind with him, the others had long since harbored their own plans.

As he knew, not long ago, a Dao Lord from the Heavenly Court had descended upon the Huai River, one of the Four Great River Ancestral Veins, and met with that Water Origin Dao Lord, the Lord of the Huai River Divine Palace.

Yet, when facing the other four, he had not mentioned a single word about it.

How could this not chill his heart?

In contrast, the emergence of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path stirred thoughts in the yellow-robed Dao Lord’s mind. Not only did its philosophy align with his own, but the Three Purities Dao Lords also held considerable influence among the various Dao Lords cultivating on Jade Capital Mountain and had many friends. Once they gathered their friends, they might very well be able to establish a foothold!

BOOM!!

Suddenly, accompanied by an enraged roar, the yellow-robed Dao Lord looked deep into the Western Extremity. He saw that with a strike from a clear and cold celestial light, a gigantic Black Lotus illusion shattered violently. The Jade Purity Dao Lord had already easily suppressed that bizarre Innate Dao Lord. Three-colored celestial light shattered the void, forcing that Innate Dao Lord to flee in panic deeper into the Western Extremity.

Witnessing such might, even the many observing Innate Dao Lords were momentarily speechless. The Great Dao spiritual light within their Dao Fruits trembled in response.

…

Deep within a cavern in the treacherous waters of the Tongtian River.

Comprehending the “Scripture of Dutian Divine Thunder” was not an overnight effort, especially since he had more than one Divine Demon corpse.

By the time Lin Yuan had mostly finished processing the remaining Divine Demon corpses—either refining treasures or simply extracting their essence blood—and stepped out of the cavern, he sensed that the conflicts outside the Tongtian River had, at some point, already ceased.

At this moment, the Loose Immortal Dao Fruit within his body had been carved to flawless perfection, and his foundation was exceptionally solid. He had also comprehended a portion of the “Scripture of Dutian Divine Thunder.”

At the very least, he had grasped several types of Innate Divine Thunder from that Innate Divine Demon corpse.

Lin Yuan glanced at the Tongtian River. Based on his perception, the time to return to the Main World was not far off. He should return to the Lishui Tribe as soon as possible and then find a way to earn some more Virtue Merit!
