Chapter 301: Chapter 275 [Age of Loss, Heavenly Dao Net] (Seeking Subscriptions)

Boom!

The ultimate destructive power erupted, causing even the Great Dao to wither, but Zhu Zhao and You Ying still struggled desperately, their Daoist Bodies transforming towards a state of nothingness.

"Defy the vast nothingness, let the void become the Dao!"

At the moment of life and death, the two jointly activated the Space Great Dao. Unable to resist, they let their Primordial Spirits become part of Xuanqing’s deadly technique.

Their Daoist Bodies perished, but their Primordial Spirits turned into an End’s Power, merging with the murderous force unleashed by the formation, and they were extremely fortunate to survive.

"Escape Void!"

The two knew that staying within the Sword Array meant certain death. A burst of Space Great Dao’s power instantaneously opened a path of survival for them.

Xuanqing did not stop them.

Because, while they were confronting the Sword Array, he had already summoned the "Refining Dao Furnace," enveloping the entire Sword Array within.

Even if they escaped the "Execution Saint Sword Formation," they would face endless deadly threats. He planned to use the "Refining Dao Furnace" to refine both of their Great Daos.

"Mother-child Creation Divine Light!"

With a flick of Xuanqing’s fingertips, a force of Creation Power emerged, spreading throughout the "Refining Dao Furnace," causing the bodies of Zhu Zhao and You Ying to suddenly swell.

"Not good!"

You Ying seemed to have realized something, and quickly disengaged her combined state with Zhu Zhao, the unity of Yin and Yang not knowing what it might produce.

Zhu Zhao’s expression was also extremely ugly.

He originally thought that after studying the fragments of the "Creation Jade Disc" with You Ying and mastering many Great Daos, their strength was already peerless in the Primordial Daluo realm.

But unexpectedly, there is always someone better; Xuanqing, this unwelcome intruder to the "Qianyuan Realm," was much stronger than both of them.

Xuanqing did not rush to execute them but instead smiled and said, "My Daoist friends! Now, can we have a proper discussion?"

"If I am not mistaken, you two were born from the Yin and Yang stars at the very beginning of the Primordial World!"

"Yet, in the records of the Primordial World, there is no trace of your existence; who exactly erased the epochs belonging to the Primordial Divine Dao?"

Xuanqing had more than once tried to probe into the history of the Primordial, but once it involved the Divine Dao, a mysterious force would stop him from continuing.

He originally thought that the Divine Dao could not achieve the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal and that with Hong Jun pioneering the Immortal Dao, the Ancient Divine Dao was gradually abandoned.

But now, he realized all his past speculations were wrong, severely wrong.

It was not the Divine Dao being abandoned by the epoch, but the Divine Dao abandoning the epoch, forcefully erased by an unknown existence from the history of the Primordial!

Arriving in the "Qianyuan Realm" and seeing Zhu Zhao and You Ying achieving Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals through Divine Dao, Xuanqing was triggered by a certain cause and effect.

Between the Fierce Beasts Calamity and the Dragon Han Calamity, there should have been another calamity, but someone used unknown means to erase this period of time.

Meng Zhang, Ling Guang, Zhi Ming, Jian Bing, Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Feng, Primordial Qilin, they seem to be the first batch of Innate beings nurtured in the Primordial World.

But actually, they are the second batch!

Before them, there was a group of beings who cultivated the Divine Dao, who were directly erased by some force; Zhu Zhao and You Ying are relics from that era!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhao immediately sneered, "Daoist friend, there is an aura of Emperor Hong’s Immortal Dao on you, don’t you know what happened back then?"

"What?"

Xuanqing was stunned; he originally thought that the disappearance of Divine Dao was related to Pangu, but did not expect it to be related to Hong Jun’s incarnation, Emperor Hong?

Wrong!

Until the Dragon Han period did Hong Jun create the method of ’Slash Three Corpses’ and establish the embryonic form of the Immortal Path System, Emperor Hong should not have existed yet?

Suddenly, Xuanqing realized that Emperor Hong must be Hong Jun’s disguise in the Divine Dao, after slashing his own corpses, he was given the name Emperor Hong!

Seeing Xuanqing’s expression looking genuine, Zhu Zhao began to speak about the era of Divine Dao, mentioning the Three Divine Emperors and the Three Thousand Innate deities born from the qi fate of heaven and earth, transformed from the fragments of the "Creation Jade Disc".

Back then, there were the Three Emperors of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity overseeing the Three Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. After the passing of the Three Emperors, Emperor Hong became the leader of the gods in the Primordial.

Emperor of Heaven, Cang Li, governed the Heavenly Dao, Emperor of Earth, Yue Jian, governed the Earth Dao, and Human Emperor, Nine Heads, governed the Human Dao, under them were many Innate Divine Spirits.

Emperor Hong was one of them.

However, Emperor Hong, ambitious and unwilling to be bound by the Divine Dao system, hosted a banquet above Jun Tian for the three thousand Innate beings of the Primordial World, setting a trap that forced most divine beings to transform into Dao.

Emperor Hong refined these Innate Divine Spirits’ Great Daos, returning them to the origin and condensing them into the "Creation Jade Disc," but inadvertently triggered a contingency left by Pangu.

On that day, the "Heavenly Creation Divine Axe" converged to exterminate everything and struck the "Creation Jade Disc", causing this Chaos Treasure to be flawed.

But Pangu’s lingering power was limited, with one strike, Emperor Hong perished, but also exhausted the "Heavenly Creation Divine Axe’s" power.

The Great Daos of many Innate Divine Spirits, since reformed into the "Creation Jade Disc," left the authority not preserved, and the Three Dao...

While he spoke, he also used his mana to illuminate the scene at that time: gods perishing, two Chaos Treasures colliding in the void, then shattering into streaks of light that disappeared into the void.

"Wait!"

Xuanqing was full of doubts, but upon hearing Zhu Zhao mention the three Dao—Heaven, Earth, and Human—his brows couldn’t help but furrow slightly: "At the time when the Divine Dao prospered in the world, the Three Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Human in the Primordial World had already manifested in the world?"

According to his understanding of history, the Heavenly Dao should have revived during the catastrophe of the Dragon Han, and the Earth and Human Dao revived during the Great Witch-Demon Catastrophe, right?

But now, Zhu Zhao told him that the Three Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Human already existed during the rise of the Divine Dao, and they even had their own governors?

In his heart, myriad thoughts emerged, propelled by the forces of fate. If it followed the original trajectory, the Primordial World should have developed towards an era of Divine Dao. Yet, it was precisely this great catastrophe that changed the future of the Primordial.

The Divine Dao was severed, the Immortal Dao arose, followed closely by the Demon Path, competing with the Immortal Dao for the fortune of the world. The dragon, phoenix, and qilin races also began to vie for supremacy in the Primordial.

Xuanqing didn’t know what kind of Primordial World Pangu had hoped for.

But the hand of Emperor Hong undoubtedly changed the course of the history of the Primordial World!

"Creation Demon God, Innate Divine Being Emperor Hong, and today’s ancestor of the Immortal Dao Hong Jun..."

After listening to Zhu Zhao’s elaboration, Xuanqing was able to sketch out the general historical direction, and the reason Hong Jun could control the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial emerged.

Just like Xuanqing’s previous incarnation, Ancient Dragon God Lei Ze, Hong Jun was not resurrected for the first time; he had already been resurrected once during the Divine Dao Era.

Following the transformation of the Ancient Three Emperors, Emperor Hong, relying on his own strength, took over from Heavenly Emperor Cangli and controlled most of the authority of the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial.

But Emperor Hong clearly did not want to aid Pangu in evolving the Dao Fruit of the Primordial, creating a wedding dress for Pangu, so he set a trap to coerce three thousand divine beings into transforming.

Although this triggered Pangu’s contingency plan, Emperor Hong also buried the era of Divine Dao and used the Primordial Spirit harbored in the Heavenly Dao to live a second life.

That is, Hong Jun!

The Heavenly Dao does not die, the Saints do not perish.

At that time, since Emperor Hong had already controlled the majority of the authority of the Heavenly Dao, leaving behind a contingency for resurrection within the Heavenly Dao was not surprising.

"No wonder!"

Xuanqing suddenly realized. He had always been curious about where Hong Jun got so many Innate Spiritual Treasures. After the three lectures at the Purple Cloud Palace, he distributed thousands of Innate Spiritual Treasures, including "Tai Chi Diagram" and "Pangu Banner," the number one Innate Treasure in the Primordial World, akin to a wholesale distributor.

But if Hong Jun had inherited the entire foundation of the Divine Dao Era, broke it and established the Immortal Dao, acquiring so many treasures would not be surprising!

Three thousand Innate Divine Beings, assembling over a thousand Innate Spiritual Treasures, wouldn’t be too difficult.

Moreover, since many divine authorities are related to the Three Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Human, it makes sense that these Dao fell silent after the gods perished.

It’s as if the entire world had undergone a Cataclysm of Silence, with perhaps only Zhu Zhao and You Ying surviving besides Hong Jun.

Aside from that, there are some legacies of the Divine Dao scattered throughout the Primordial World!

Later born beings, even if they obtained these Divine Dao legacies, found it difficult to glimpse the grandeur of the Divine Dao Era from mere scraps of information.

With the establishment of the Immortal Dao and the rise of the Demon Path, even fewer people studied the Divine Dao.

"Three thousand!"

Xuanqing kept muttering to himself. The number for the Great Dao Laws is three thousand, the Chaos Demon Gods are three thousand, the Innate Divine Beings are three thousand, and the worldly guests of the Purple Cloud Palace are also three thousand. Pangu and Hong Jun seem to share the same idea: using the Primordial to perfect the Three Thousand Great Dao.

Except, Hong Jun did not want to complete Pangu, naturally needed to control the Heavenly Dao, obliterate the Divine Dao, and utilize the Immortal Dao to intercept the fruits of Pangu’s Great Dao.

A long time ago, the insights of Divine Dao cultivators should have been used to perfect Pangu’s Dao Fruit.

But now, with the Immortal Dao prospering in the world, the insights of many cultivators have all benefited Hong Jun, like droplets of water flowing into an immense ocean.

The nourishment of the Divine Dao, falling into the Immortal Dao, made Hong Jun so swiftly powerful.

But if that’s the case, could it be that Hong Jun being in union with the Heavenly Dao is just a facade? He doesn’t need the Heavenly Dao to perfect his own Dao Fruit?

After all...

According to what Zhu Zhao said, during that era, Emperor Hong had already inherited the Heavenly Dao from Cang Li, and he should have absolute control over the Heavenly Dao.

If he hadn’t controlled the Heavenly Dao, he wouldn’t have been able to force three thousand divine beings to transform.

At that time, Emperor Hong did not yet have the power to dominate everything.

Terrifying thought!

Xuanqing couldn’t help but shudder, if being unioned with the Heavenly Dao were a facade made up by Hong Jun, wouldn’t Yuanshi Tianzun’s plans be in vain?

And could their plans also be part of Hong Jun’s scheme? Taking advantage of this event to reap a harvest from the cultivators of the Primordial?

In Xuanqing’s mind, a scene emerged—the disciples of the three teachings of Xuan Sect fighting against heaven, only to be suppressed on the spot by the deeply hidden Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun!

Countless Immortal Dao cultivators perishing, and myriad Great Dao propelling the Immortal Dao towards perfection!

"What a Heavenly Dao Net!"

Xuanqing couldn’t help but smirk bitterly, "If it weren’t for discovering this world, I wouldn’t have known that defying heaven is actually part of the Heavenly Dao!"
