Chapter 267: Chapter 251 [Let Nature Take Its Course, Achieve the Opposite Effect] (Please Subscribe)

Xuanqing stimulated the Refining Dao, enveloping Luo Hou’s Demon Path Dao Fruit, then gradually refined it, eventually condensing over a thousand Principle Seeds.

These Principle Seeds were not powerful, only at the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but with dedicated contemplation, they could transform into True Seeds of the Great Dao in just a few eons.

The beginning is the hardest!

Moreover, now that Xuanqing has the approval of the Human Dao to freely enter and exit Pangu’s Dream, as long as he observes those Innate Sacred marks and those Chaos Demon God marks, these Principle Seeds will naturally be able to grow rapidly and transform, and then he can weave them into a new Great Dao Law Net.

"This time, although I obtained over a thousand Principle Seeds from Luo Hou, when compared to Hong Jun, there is still a huge gap!"

"The advantage of the Creation Jade Disc is not so easy to counter, and it is unknown whether the missing fragment of the Jade Disc is currently within the Primordial World."

While Xuanqing contemplated the numerous Principle Seeds, he thought about how he had attained Dao after Hong Jun and Luo Hou, and his foundation was far less than both of them.

To catch up to them, or even surpass them, ordinary methods would not suffice.

His Divine Skill "A Thought Blossoms" could steal others’ Great Dao comprehension and condense it into Spirit Fruits which, once refined, could condense the corresponding Principle Seeds, but the growth of Principle Seeds also required time.

Furthermore, some Great Daos are so obscure that no one in the Primordial practices them, and even if he wanted to freeload, he could not find the corresponding Cultivator to freeride from.

For instance, within the Innate Five Great Daos, there are many people comprehending the Taiji Great Dao, and Fuxi and Nuwa are cultivating the Taiyi Great Dao and Taishi Great Dao respectively.

However, Xuanqing has never seen any Cultivator for the Tai Chu Great Dao and Taishi Great Dao.

There might have been some in the past.

But with the passage of time and the changes of the eras, with the explosion of countless Calamities, these Cultivators may have become just dust in history!

Especially the Power Great Dao of Pangu, even the Twelve Ancestor Witches, who are considered to be Pangu’s descendants, did not inherit the Power Great Dao.

"Perhaps, the Power Great Dao is recorded on that missing fragment of Hong Jun’s Creation Jade Disc!"

Xuanqing’s speculation was not unfounded; had Hong Jun comprehended the Power Great Dao, would he have taken so much time to master the Heavenly Dao?

The guidelines of the Three Thousand Great Dao, dominating all paths and overpowering others, are not just mere talk.

Additionally, since Pangu has a contingency plan, he naturally would not allow others to comprehend the Power Great Dao, to prevent others from discovering its weaknesses.

Everything between heaven and earth has mutual genesis and mutual restraint.

Xuanqing believed that since the Power Great Dao exists, there must be a Dao that can restrain it.

Although Xuanqing does not wish to be an enemy of Pangu, he must consider all possibilities; what if Pangu seeks transcendence and needs their Dao Fruits as fuel?

One cannot place hope in others; while strengthening oneself, one must also find Pangu’s weaknesses. There are things you can choose not to use, but cannot afford not to have, and should not wait until one’s final moments to regret and reflect.

"I need to figure out a way to find it!"

"The Creation Jade Disc, like the Heavenly Creation Divine Axe and the Chaos Green Lotus, accompanied Pangu during the creation of the world; even if shattered, it should have fallen within the Primordial World."

"Otherwise, even with Hong Jun’s capabilities, it would be impossible to reassemble the Creation Jade Disc."

"With Hong Jun merged with the Heavenly Dao, there should be very few things he can’t detect in the Primordial World, except for the Pangu Temple, which should just leave the Earth Dao and Human Dao!"

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there may be other secretive places in the Primordial World!"

Thoughts surfaced one by one in Xuanqing’s mind and were then dismissed by him one by one. He even searched the world beneath the Undying Volcano.

Because that world is not within the many worlds, and even the power of the Heavenly Dao cannot reach it.

As for the Human Dao, he directly entered Pangu’s Dream again to inquire.

But he did not get an answer!

"Since the power of the Heavenly Dao cannot reach it, then the power of the Earth Dao and Human Dao should also be unable to touch it; what if someone has merged with the Earth Dao or Human Dao?"

Xuanqing felt that if Pangu really intended to hide that "Creation Jade Disc" fragment, he would surely make it inaccessible to the power of Heaven, Earth, and Human.

He suddenly had a doubt in his heart: "What place is unreachable by the power of Heaven, Earth, and Humans, which govern the Primordial?"

He looked at his own hands, then at his Dantian, and suddenly a spark of inspiration flashed: "Since the Primordial World is transformed from Pangu’s Physical Body, and the upper, middle, and lower Dantians are the places of birth for the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Dao, then the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc might be related to a place unrelated and even invisible to the Three Daos."

"The back of the head?"

"The back?"

"The forehead?"

Thoughts emerged in Xuanqing’s mind, but then he shook his head: "The back of the head is somewhat connected to the upper Dantian that nurtures the Heavenly Dao! It’s impossible to avoid the Heavenly Dao! Pangu’s back transformed into mountains and hills, his spine into the Buzhou Mountain, these places are also extraordinary, and are all within the reach of the Earth Dao!"

"It doesn’t seem likely?"

"As for the forehead... Pangu’s forehead is the location of the Heavenly Court. The Ancient Starry Sky has been devastated several times, and not long ago, the Heavenly Court directly collapsed. It is the backyard of the Heavenly Dao, how could it hide any secrets?"

Hong Jun is no fool; the places Xuanqing can think of, he can think of too. Since he has not found the last fragment of the "Creation Jade Disc" even with the power of the Heavenly Dao, he would have certainly checked the places the Heavenly Dao cannot reach, and would have searched everywhere!"

However, one cannot rule out the possibility that, with Pangu’s capabilities, evolving a space similar to a mustard seed Mount Sumeru within the Primordial World would not be a difficult feat.

In addition, outside the Primordial World, there are many smaller worlds, places where the power of Heavenly Dao cannot reach. It is also possible that Pangu left behind a contingency plan there to hide the last fragment of the Creation Jade Disc.

For a time, Xuanqing was without a clue. Even with the use of Innate Eight Diagrams and Dao Yi Seal for deduction, no trace of insight was perceived.

He could only temporarily set aside this obsession and immerse himself in the comprehension of numerous Great Daos.

Meanwhile, changes in the fortunes of the Human World occur; Yao and Shun have taken their respective places, while Nanji and Taiyi, through the merits of instructing the Human Emperor, have also successfully returned.

But the next Human Emperor has yet to emerge. Logically, the last of the Five Emperors should possess virtue comparable to that of the Three Emperors.

"The future has changed!"

Yuanshi Tianzun’s brow furrowed slightly. In the original secrets of heaven, there was to be a major calamity in the Human World, and the last of the Five Emperors should have been born in response to this tribulation.

Yet now, the Water Element Great Dao and Water Element Cycle in the heaven and earth are without issues, and even the Heavenly River was directly swallowed by Tai Xuan after attaining sainthood, dissolving the impending disaster in the invisible, so the individual meant to face the calamity naturally cannot be born.

"Let it be!"

"Let nature take its course!"

He did not press the issue; although he would have liked Yun Zhongzi to gain this merit, he was reluctant to forcibly alter the momentum of Heavenly Dao.

Every cause leads to an effect. The changes in the momentum of Heavenly Dao actually had their causes and effects long ago.

In the original timeline, the collapse of Buzhou Mountain and the descent of Heavenly River Water into the Primordial World were to be the reason for the Water Element Cycle’s collapse in the Primordial World after several eons.

However, due to Xuanqing’s intervention, as soon as the Heavenly River began to pour out, Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming, among others, stopped it with the Primordial Golden Bowl and Ocean Stabilizing Pearl, and its waters did not fall into the Primordial World.

Even when the three major Demon Gods entered the Primordial World and the Thirty-Three Heavens fell, with the Heavenly River waters spilling over, the disaster was averted after Tai Xuan attained sainthood.

Moreover, Wuzhiqi, during the time of the Heavenly Emperor, was subjugated by Xuanqing and became an enforcer for the Netherworld, missing the opportunity to stir up trouble in the Primordial World.

Furthermore, before attaining sainthood, Tai Xuan extensively eradicated demons and punished monsters within the Primordial World, so much so that no demons dared to cause chaos within the territories of the Human Race. Naturally, no cataclysm occurred, and thus no one arose to face the tribulation.

The Heavenly Dao will automatically mend the momentum, but with several major calamities dissipated into nothingness, the Heavenly Dao might well be feeling quite troubled.

Yuanshi Tianzun smiled knowingly and then silently observed the changes in the momentum of Heavenly Dao.

He was curious to see how, this time, the Heavenly Dao would correct the momentum.

Time flows like a stream, imperceptibly passing by. Armed with over a thousand kinds of Great Daos stolen from Luo Hou, Xuanqing’s understanding of the various Great Daos grows day by day.

Coupled with the imprints of the Innate Sacred and the Chaos Demon God Marks from Pangu’s dream, in just five great eons, he had advanced most of the Great Dao Laws to the Daluo level, reaping bountiful gains with the rest.

Of course, during this period, his contemplation was not limited to the Innate Great Dao; he was also attempting to perfect the paths of Divine Immortal, Ghost Immortal, and Tribulation Immortal.

These three Daos, once successfully transcended, would allow him to reach the realm ’’as one with the Dao and Heaven’’.

Unfortunately...

He always lacked that last bit of essence!

He felt that he was separated from the realm ’’as one with the Dao and Heaven’’ by a thin membrane, ever on the verge of breaking through, yet incapable of crossing that barrier.

"Perhaps, it’s time for me to take a walk!"

During this period, Xuanqing had grown somewhat impatient, to the point where his Dao heart even showed signs of restlessness.

There was no helping it!

It was precisely because he was acutely aware of the gap between himself, Hong Jun, and Pangu that he sought every possible means to catch up, unwilling to waste even a moment of time.

In his view, if he could comprehend ’’as one with the Dao and Heaven’’ and find three suitable cultivators, the Xuan Sect could gain three additional saintly powers.

Enough to turn the tide at a critical moment, establish the general situation, and even turn the tables against the wind.

But sometimes, being overly anxious and unable to calm down would often backfire.

With this thought, Xuanqing’s mind stirred, and he soon left the Undying Volcano.

But shortly after he departed, deep within Undying Volcano, a spatial rift suddenly appeared, though it was quickly suppressed by his incarnation.

His incarnation frowned slightly: "Was that just now the aura of the phoenix tree?"

Originally, when he detonated the Undying Volcano, causing the egg of Yuan Feng’s nirvana, as well as the Innate Spirit Root phoenix tree, to disappear into the spatial rift.

After taking possession of Undying Volcano, he had meticulously searched for relics left by the Phoenix Clan but found no trace of Yuan Feng and the phoenix tree.

But just now, his incarnation sensed a hint of the phoenix tree’s aura.

"Could it be some disturbance caused by Yuan Feng?"

His heart was filled with surprise and uncertainty.
