Chapter 255: Chapter 229, The Superiority and Inferiority of the Tao Seed

Tongtian glanced down at Bai Jin, saying grumpily, "Don’t be too happy too soon, merging with the Tao Seed might not be good or bad for you."

Bai Jin asked in surprise, "Master, what do you mean by that?"

"Do you think I don’t have a Tao Seed?"

"Of course, Master has one."

"When I initially passed on the four Immortal Swords, Qing Ming, Qingyu, Qing Xiao, Qingyun to you, it was to let you comprehend your own Sword Dao.

But look at you, after obtaining the four swords, they’ve barely been used for thousands of epochs, I bet the swords have even rusted.

Later, you even obtained the Sword Array from Nuwa and Ping Xin, relying on the power of the Sword Array to face your enemies, which nearly infuriated me to death," Tongtian said, looking at Bai Jin with disappointment.

Feeling guilty, Bai Jin said, "Master, I think that if we can solve things peacefully, we should avoid conflict when possible, and not make things too troublesome."

Tongtian Sect Master, looking down at Bai Jin with a speechless expression, wondered how he ended up accepting such a lazy disciple who is nothing like him.

Tentatively, Bai Jin asked, "Master, what you just mentioned about the Tao Seed being potentially good or bad, what does that mean? Could there be danger?"

"There’s no danger, but after all, the Tao Seed is someone else’s Tao. If you rely on it to seek the Tao, it would sever your Saint Path, and you’ll never have a chance to attain sainthood because the Tao is unique."

Bai Jin exclaimed, "Sever the Saint Path? Are my senior uncles trying to harm me?"

Tongtian glanced at Bai Jin disdainfully and said grumpily, "Do Saints need to resort to such methods to harm you? Aren’t you overestimating yourself?"

Bai Jin rethought, realizing the point, and hurriedly asked, "Master, then why is that?"

"Probably because they have no confidence in your attainment as a Quasi-Saint," Tongtian slowly said.

Bai Jin immediately felt disheartened, wondering if he was really that bad. His previously ecstatic mood disappeared entirely.

"Since you want to use the Tao Seed to step into the Quasi-Saint Realm, it should be our Jie Sect’s own Tao of Sky Severing."

Tongtian reached out towards Bai Jin, and a sword-shaped Tao Seed instantly pierced into Bai Jin’s forehead, with an invisible Tao halo spreading out, instantly spreading the Tao patterns all over his body.

"Uh~" Bai Jin grunted, and after a moment, all Tao patterns and halo dissipated.

Bai Jin hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Master."

"No need to comprehend the Tao of Reincarnation, Tao of Creation, Tao of Taiji, or the Tao of Force. You just need to comprehend the Tao of Sky Severing that I’ve passed to you, and stepping into the Quasi-Saint Realm will be as easy as turning over your hand.

You are the first disciple of the Jie Sect Outer Door, and the Tao of Sky Severing is the most suitable for you."

Bai Jin earnestly nodded and said, "Yes! Disciple will bear in mind."

"Go!"

With a wave of Tongtian’s hand, Bai Jin’s figure instantly vanished within the Biyou Palace.

...

Fifty Cycles passed in a blink of an eye, during these years, the Jie Sect’s influence surged, with many disciples stepping into the Primordial World and becoming famous across the Three Realms, significantly overshadowing the other Great Sects.

Saint Disciples revealed their brilliance. The once ancient strong tribes of the Primordial Era began to hide, and the disciples of the Four Sects became the trendsetters of the Primordial World.

...

Zhunti stepped out from the void into the Pure Land beyond the heavens.

Beside the Merit Pond, Jie Yin opened his eyes slowly and said, "Junior brother, have you got all your plans ready?"

Zhunti smiled and nodded, walked beside the Merit Pond, and sat cross-legged, speaking gently, "Fifty Cycles ago, our junior nephew Bai Jin pressured the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and after these fifty Cycles, someone will breakthrough to the Heavenly Court."

"Ah~" Jie Yin sighed and said, "If the three senior brothers from the Eastern know about this, it would not bode well for us."

Zhunti smiled gently, "Senior brother, you worry too much. To be precise, this is not my own plan. Princess Yaoji’s nature is not yet mature. This calamity was inevitable, and I merely gave a light push."

...

Three years later, buzz~ The Heavenly Rules of the Heavenly Court trembled, Judicial Celestial Zi Yunlei arrived deep within the Judicial Temple, standing before the Five-Colored Heavenly Law, from which light blossomed.

Within the light, a scene unfolded showing a beautiful woman on the Primordial Land in the Lower Realm, playing with an infant in a small mountain village.

Judicial Celestial Zi Yunlei muttered incredulously to himself: "Princess Yaoji has secretly mated with a mortal and had a child."

Fear surged instantly within his heart, uncertain of how to choose, knowing that any errors could lead to death.

After a long contemplation, Zi Yunlei’s attire changed into battle armor, and he turned to leave, deciding to walk through the motions since he couldn’t overpower Princess Yaoji himself anyway.

Outside the Judicial Temple, Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman and Chang’e came slowly.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman asked, "Where is the Judicial Celestial heading?"

Zi Yunlei stopped in his steps, his expression shifted, and declared authoritatively: "Naturally, I am carrying out heavenly punishment."

Chang’e softly spoke, "Divine Monarch, you should return. His Majesty has not yet returned, and the Heavenly Court should not be moved arbitrarily."

Zi Yunlei sternly shouted, "Princess Yaoji has violated the Heavenly Rules, by the law she should be executed!"

Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman spoke coldly, "The Queen Mother has decreed, in Her Majesty’s absence, the operations of the Heavenly Court shall be decided by consultations between Deity of the Moon and me. Divine Monarch, please withdraw."

"What if I must descend to the Lower Realm?"

Chang’e responded, "Then do not blame us for temporarily sealing off the Judicial Temple."

Zi Yunlei roared angrily, "You dare!"

"Divine Monarch, take care of yourself," Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman and Chang’e walked past the Judicial Temple.

Zi Yunlei stood before the temple, his chest heaving with anger, yet a faint sneer could be seen in his eyes. These two goddesses, uttering bold words, actually helped me—a way that neither compromises my impartial image nor endangers my safety, this is indeed not bad.

Five years later, within a mountain stronghold on Primordial Land, village chief Zhang Bairen was meditating on the mountain top, his mind flashing with several thoughts.

Who am I?

Where did I come from?

Where am I going?

I am Zhang Bairen!

But, who is Zhang Bairen?

...

Inside the stronghold, bandits occasionally looked towards the mountain top, the village chief had been sitting there for over one hundred years without any movement.

"Mom, sister hit me."

"Mom, Yellow Clothes sister stole my dress."

Seven girls in different colored clothes ran out from the stronghold, chasing and playing endlessly, laughter echoing continuously.

A middle-aged woman slowly emerged from the main hall of the stronghold, speaking discontentedly: "All of you, behave! Haven’t I taught you how to be proper ladies?"

The seven girls immediately stopped their frolics, lining up and bowing respectfully, obediently saying, "Yes!"

The middle-aged woman looked up at the mountain top, her gaze filled with concern, 1750 calamities have passed, Hao Tian, when will you return?

Boom~ A thunderclap suddenly resounded, the gloomy sky becoming even darker and the clouds roiled.

At the mountain top, Zhang Bairen abruptly opened his eyes, looking up at the sky, his bewildered gaze becoming increasingly clear. He slowly stood up, a powerful aura confidently emanating from him, his small figure atop the mountain appeared even more majestic than the tall mountains and taller than the sky itself.

All within the stronghold looked towards the mountain top, filled with reverence and could not help but kneel in worship.
