26: Emperor Jiang was born

"Big Brother, we didn't really do anything, so how does this involve all sentient beings?

Did we unintentionally help you, Big Brother?

As long as we could help you, it proves that Second Brother and I did well."

Yuanshi Tianzun and Shangqing Lingbao both asked Taiqing in confusion.

They had just set a trap for Hongjun; how did it end up relating to all sentient beings?

"Second Brother and Third Brother, you don't know that when I left back then, I heard the great dao thunder rumbling outside the Primordial World.

At that time, I was still wondering why the great dao thunder was rumbling.

Now everything can be explained.

Third Brother, you triggered the Heaven-Opening Merit, and that Old Thief Hongjun unintentionally touched the Heaven-Opening Merit with the Power of the Heavenly Dao.

That great dao thunder was precisely sent down to punish the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao must have been severely wounded by the great dao thunder."

Taiqing finally remembered the roar of the great dao thunder when he left Kunlun.

Following the roar of that great dao thunder, all his subsequent actions seemed exceptionally smooth.

Aside from being noticed by Old Ancestor Five Elements.

Everything was so unusually smooth that it was as if the Heavenly Dao didn't exist at all.

Now, everything could be explained.

"Because the great dao thunder severely wounded the Heavenly Dao, I was able to easily go to Mount Buzhou to pay respects to the will of the father god.

It is precisely because the Heavenly Dao was severely wounded and fell into a slumber that the power of the Primordial Heavenly Dao suppressing all sentient beings weakened.

It is also because the Heavenly Dao was severely wounded that the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans could obtain the authority of heaven and earth and withdraw from the calamity at a minimal cost.

It is precisely because the Heavenly Dao was severely wounded and slumbering that This elder brother could easily go to Penglai Immortal Island.

Breakthrough to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm and step onto the Path of Dao Attainment through Law."

The reason all of this became so smooth was that the Heavenly Dao was severely wounded by the great dao thunder and fell into a slumber.

If the Heavenly Dao were not slumbering, it would not have been so easy for Taiqing to go to Penglai Immortal Island, Breakthrough to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and step onto the Path of Dao Attainment through Law.

Even if he had three heaven-opening supreme treasures to shroud the heavenly secrets, he would still have been detected by the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao controls the entire Primordial World; in any place where it cannot perceive the heavenly secrets, it would certainly dispatch Old Thief Hongjun to investigate.

At that time, whether he could successfully find Penglai Immortal Island or enter it on time would have been a question.

So, Yuanshi Tianzun and Shangqing Lingbao had helped him and the three clans a great deal.

Similarly, the same was true for all sentient beings.

With the suppression of the Heavenly Dao lowered, Cultivating became easier for all sentient beings.

No wonder Taiqing felt that since he set out, the Sentient beings of the Primordial Era he encountered along the way all seemed to have better cultivation talent.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, tell me, shouldn't I and all sentient beings thank you?"

Taiqing felt lighthearted.

The resentment he felt earlier upon hearing that the Heavenly Dao and Old Thief Hongjun had personally moved against his younger brothers had dissipated significantly.

"Hiss! Big Brother, was this really caused by us?! This is too incredible, isn't it?"

After hearing their elder brother's explanation, Yuanshi Tianzun and Shangqing Lingbao were both in disbelief that they had unintentionally accomplished such a major feat.

"Hahaha, I told you, we Three Pure Ones are indeed the protagonists of heaven and earth, accomplishing such a great deed before even being born.

Hahaha, how satisfying, how satisfying."

After hearing this, Shangqing Lingbao laughed heartily, looking exactly like a child who was triumphant after receiving validation.

"Ahem, Third Brother, keep a low profile, low profile.

We Three Pure Ones are the protagonists of heaven and earth; staying low-key is what we should do.

I can't take it anymore, hahaha, how satisfying, truly satisfying.

The Heavenly Dao dared to plot against us Three Pure Ones; look at it now, punished by the great dao thunder!"

Although Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to stay low-key, their achievements simply wouldn't allow it.

Like Shangqing Lingbao, Yuanshi Tianzun also laughed joyfully.

Infected by his two younger brothers, Taiqing also laughed heartily, shouting how satisfying it was.

To make the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun pay such a heavy price, how could it not be satisfying?

Taiqing also learned from this that the Taiji Diagram, chaos bell, and pangu banner were originally the natal Spirit Treasures of the Three Pure Ones.

In his past life, he knew that after Hongjun's three lectures at Zixiao Palace, he bestowed the Taiji Diagram and pangu banner, and Donghuang Taiyi's natal Spirit Treasure was the chaos bell.

All of this was a plot by Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.

The Three Pure Ones in his memory had been sold out and were still counting money for Hongjun because of this.

Especially Yuanshi Tianzun and Shangqing Lingbao.

They had even developed a rift because of it.

Yuanshi Tianzun held a grudge because his younger brother, Shangqing Lingbao, obtained the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

Similarly, Shangqing Lingbao felt resentful because his second brother got the pangu banner.

More importantly, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was a supreme treasure of slaughter in the Primordial Era and had been refined by Luo Hou with calamity qi and innate malignant qi.

It was inherently and exceptionally ominous.

When Shangqing Lingbao used it as a supreme treasure to suppress Luck, how could problems not arise?

Because of this, although there were many virtuous people under the Jie Sect, there were even more who ruined the Jie Sect's Luck.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Shangqing Lingbao quarreled incessantly because of this, and eventually, the Three Pure Ones split up.

From then on, the Three Pure Ones embarked on the path of being imprisoned in Zixiao Palace by the Heavenly Dao.

But this time, because of Taiqing's arrival and his taking the three heaven-opening supreme treasures to Mount Buzhou.

He unexpectedly broke the schemes of the Heavenly Dao and Old Thief Hongjun.

After sharing the information and joy, Taiqing finally took out the pangu marrow essence stored in the Taiji Diagram.

"Second Brother and Third Brother, this is the Father God's marrow essence I mentioned.

If you two refine a bit of it, you should be able to be born.

As the saying goes, one step ahead means staying ahead at every step.

Second Brother and Third Brother, refine it quickly; being born a day earlier is also gaining an advantage."

Taiqing sent two drops of pangu marrow essence to the Origins of Yuanshi Tianzun and Shangqing Lingbao.

Those drops of Father God Pangu's marrow essence, as large as Minor Thousand Worlds, were almost as big as the Origins of Yuanshi Tianzun and Shangqing Lingbao.

"Alright, Big Brother! Once Third Brother and I are born, we will definitely go with you; we three brothers will travel the Primordial World together."

Yuanshi Tianzun didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began refining the pangu marrow essence.

Shangqing Lingbao gave his thanks and also began refining the pangu marrow essence.

At this time, at the distant Mount Buzhou, the Pangu Hall, hidden in the Void Realm, was quietly approaching Mount Buzhou.

Inside the Pangu Hall, twelve drops of powerful essence blood were constantly absorbing innate spiritual qi and innate malignant qi.

On those twelve drops of essence blood, twelve types of Laws flickered: Space, Time, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and weather.

These twelve drops of essence blood were the Ancestral Witches transformed from the essence blood of Great God Pangu.

Now, the drop of essence blood carrying the Space Law was constantly trembling.

It had already condensed its own physical form; because of the Space Law, its figure constantly flickered and moved within the Pangu Hall.

At a certain moment, the flickering figure completely stopped and solidified.

A figure shaped like a yellow sack, red like cinnabar fire, with six legs and four wings, and no face or features—Ancestral Witch Dijiang appeared in the Pangu Hall.

"Father God Pangu above, today I, Ancestral Witch Dijiang, am born."

Dijiang bowed to a huge, constantly throbbing heart deep within the Pangu Hall.

He announced the birth of the first Ancestral Witch to the Primordial World.

With Dijiang's birth, it was as if a mysterious door had been opened.

In the following period, countless Innate Deities who would make great names for themselves during the Witch-Demon Calamity were born.
