I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 789 Primordial Chaos

In Tai Shi Continent, the seven Dao Lords reside in their respective grotto-heavens, striving to absorb the spiritual energy within the continent.

Inside the bamboo hut, the Lord of Destiny sat before the Lord of Great Evolution and asked, "The Great Luo Golden Immortals have been sent out for so long, why haven't any messages been sent back yet?"

The Great Evolution Dao Master laughed and said, "No rush. They've only been gone for a little over ten years. What can they have done in a little over ten years? Let's wait a bit longer."

The Lord of Destiny pondered, “I’m just a little worried. Although Fellow Daoist Dayan has already told them not to contact each other, they may not be willing to follow this advice when Pangu appears in the world.”

The Great Evolution Dao Master frowned, then said, "What Fellow Daoist Destiny said makes a lot of sense."

Thinking of this, the Great Evolution Dao Master immediately said, "How about this, since the primordial spirits of those Great Luo Immortals are all entrusted to the various Dao Masters, I will first send a message to inform the various Dao Masters to come here for a small gathering in seven days. At that time, everyone can use these entrusted primordial spirits as a guide to check on the life and death status of those Great Luo Immortals."

The Lord of Destiny nodded and said, "That would be best."

At this point, the Great Evolution Dao Master looked at the Destiny Dao Master and said, "Fellow Daoist, the small gathering should be in seven days. During these seven days, you should focus on absorbing the spiritual energy of the Primordial Beginning Continent. This Primordial Beginning Continent is the transformation of the last 'Primordial Beginning Primordial Qi,' and the spiritual energy within it will greatly benefit us."

The Lord of Destiny nodded and said, "Alright, thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Dayan. I will return to my cave now to absorb the Primordial Spiritual Energy."

Afterwards, the Lord of Destiny rose to take his leave. After bidding farewell to the Lord of Great Evolution, he returned directly to his own grotto-heaven.

After the Lord of Destiny left, the Lord of the Great Evolution immediately used his great power to send a message to the other six Lords of the Great Evolution, asking them to come to the Bamboo Hut for a meeting in seven days.

After doing all this, the Great Evolution Dao Master got up and prepared to enter the bamboo hut to meditate and absorb the Primordial Spiritual Energy.

But just as he stepped into the bamboo hut, he suddenly sensed an extremely unfamiliar aura approaching Tai Shi Continent.

Although the Great Evolution Dao Lord cannot control the entire Tai Shi Continent, he was the first to find it. Over the years, he has been absorbing the Tai Shi spiritual energy within the continent, and his control over it is unmatched by any other Dao Lord.

"Hmm? This aura is so unfamiliar. It's not the aura of Pangu's Heavenly Dao. Could there be another Heavenly Dao that I don't know about in the Chaos?" Thinking of this, the Great Evolution Dao Master immediately followed the aura and took a step to arrive at the edge of Tai Shi Continent.

After the Great Evolution Dao Master grasped that energy, he immediately flew out of the Tai Shi Continent and entered the chaos.

Following that aura, the Great Evolution Dao Master arrived at the depths of chaos, but when he looked back, he had unknowingly drifted far away from the Tai Shi Continent.

The Great Evolution Dao Master frowned, realizing a hint of danger, and immediately decided to abandon the search for the source of this energy and return to Tai Shi Continent.

But the moment he had this thought, he felt that aura was approaching at an extremely fast speed. In just three breaths, the owner of that aura was already in front of him.

"Fellow Daoist, now that you're here, won't you say a few words before you leave?" Zhuang Yan bowed to the Great Evolution Dao Master.

Dao Master Dayan gazed at Zhuang Yan before him, then chuckled softly and returned the greeting with a cupped hand, saying, "This humble Daoist Dayan greets fellow Daoist."

Zhuang Yan smiled again and said, "What a coincidence! My name differs from yours by only one character. I am Zhuang Yan."

The Great Evolution Dao Master also laughed, "That's really fate. Our names both contain the character 'Evolution,' what a coincidence!"

Zhuang Yan asked, "Is it fate? Or destiny?"

"Oh?" Dao Master Da Yan looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "With your level of cultivation, do you perhaps still believe in destiny?"

Zhuang Yan said, "I didn't believe it before, but now that I see you, fellow Daoist, I believe it."

Dao Master Dayan laughed heartily, then looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are quite the joker."

Zhuang Yan said, "I'm not joking. Please look behind you, Fellow Daoist Dayan."

Upon hearing this, the Great Evolution Dao Master immediately turned around and saw the Jade Emperor arriving on a beam of mysterious light, surrounding him from the front and back with Zhuang Yan.

At this moment, the Great Evolution Dao Master's expression finally darkened. He first looked at Zhuang Yan in front of him, then at the Jade Emperor behind him, and then said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Haotian of the Pangu Heavenly Dao would also come. It's truly unexpected."

At this point, the Great Evolution Dao Master suddenly looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "Then what kind of Heavenly Dao Master is Fellow Daoist Zhuang Yan? How come I've never known him? I know all the Heavenly Daos in this Chaos very well, so why have I never seen you before?"

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist, don't worry about this. You should mind your own business."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Yan activated the 'Heavenly Dao Mode'. Once activated, the chaotic land within a radius of 10,000 tian chi was immediately dominated by Zhuang Yan, who became the 'Heavenly Dao' of this area.

The Great Evolution Dao Master was directly trapped inside Zhuang Yan's Heavenly Dao Domain, which greatly shocked him. How could he still create the world at any time?

No, it wasn't the creation of heaven and earth. The Great Evolution Dao Master looked at the chaotic scene around him and realized that this was actually the Heavenly Dao Domain.

"How did you do that?" the Great Evolution Dao Master asked in astonishment. He knew that the Heavenly Dao would always remain in one fixed place and could not be taken around by you.

Similarly, once the Dao Lord of a Heavenly Dao leaves his own Heavenly Dao Realm, he no longer possesses the supreme power to rule within that realm.

However, Zhuang Yan broke this common sense, as he could actually unleash his Heavenly Dao Domain anytime, anywhere.

The Great Evolution Dao Master asked a question, but Zhuang Yan wouldn't answer; in fact, he didn't need to.

The moment the Heavenly Dao Mode was activated, all the power of the Heavenly Dao Laws was unleashed, surging towards the Great Evolution Dao Lord below.

Upon seeing this, the Great Evolution Dao Master immediately snorted coldly and said, "Even if you have the Heavenly Dao Domain, you are not necessarily my match. Don't forget what my name is!"

After saying that, the Great Evolution Dao Master formed a hand seal, and countless great powers of laws poured out from the mysterious light above his head, blocking all of Zhuang Yan's Heavenly Dao laws in an instant.

"Hahaha." The Great Evolution Dao Master laughed loudly, "My name is Great Evolution, and the laws of Heaven are the 'Great Evolution Techniques'. You want to use the laws of Heaven to deal with me? You're dreaming!"

As the Great Evolutionary Power of the Great Evolutionary Lord continued to surge forth, all of Zhuang Yan's Heavenly Dao Laws were blocked by the Great Evolutionary Lord's power.

However, Zhuang Yan also burst into laughter at this situation, "Since that's the case, do you have this too?"

After saying that, Zhuang Yan immediately activated his 'Great Dao Formless' and 'Limitless Infinity'. The next moment, Zhuang Yan's figure disappeared, and the entire Heavenly Dao Domain was filled with Zhuang Yan's pure, mysterious, and formless power.

These intangible and formless forces emerged from every vast and minute part of the universe, and under the blessing of 'limitless and infinite,' instantly suppressed the Great Evolutionary Force of the Great Evolutionary Dao Lord.

The Great Evolution Dao Master was horrified; this power far exceeded his expectations.

However, the Great Evolution Dao Master was shocked and immediately began to try to deal with it. He formed an extremely complex Dao seal in his hand, and the moment the Dao seal was formed, his Great Evolution power quickly began to gather into one.

With a soft shout of "One Primordial Beginning," the Great Evolutionary Dao Lord's immense power transformed into an invisible, transparent cocoon of light, protecting him within.

Even though Zhuang Yan's power was vast and unstoppable, it was powerless against the cocoon of light and was completely blocked outside of it.

Seeing this, the Great Evolution Dao Master laughed again: "I am protected by the Qi of the 'Primordial Beginning'. Even if your cultivation and power are above mine, how can you harm me?"

Zhuang Yan revealed himself and said to the Jade Emperor beside him, "Great Heavenly Venerable, the Primordial Qi surrounding this person is extremely powerful, without any flaws, a unified whole, without any leaks or deficiencies. I can only suppress him here, but I cannot break his Primordial Qi."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor said, "I know the origin of this Qi. This Qi was cultivated by absorbing the 'Primordial Spiritual Energy'. This person must have absorbed a lot of Primordial Spiritual Energy in order to cultivate this Primordial Qi."

Zhuang Yan asked, "Then how should we deal with it?"

The Jade Emperor smiled confidently and said, "Don't be fooled by the power of his Primordial Qi. I have a way to subdue him. Fellow Daoist Shenxiao, just suppress him here and watch me break his protective Qi."

After speaking, the Jade Emperor stepped forward and stood directly in front of the Great Evolution Dao Lord who was being suppressed. He then formed the 'Ancestral Tribulation Seal' with his hands, and a tribulation talisman flashed across his palms.

The next moment, the Jade Emperor extended his palms, and the two calamity talismans in his palms immediately flew down onto the 'Primordial Qi' around the Great Evolution Dao Master.

In an instant, the two calamity talismans released immeasurable calamity power, instantly enveloping the entire Primordial Qi. Then, that immeasurable calamity power instantly transformed into boundless calamities, crashing down.

At this moment, even Zhuang Yan's Heavenly Dao Domain trembled violently under this boundless calamity. Immediately afterwards, Zhuang Yan and the Great Evolution Dao Master simultaneously uttered a soft cry: "Great Calamity!" Under the Great Dao, calamities are divided into six levels: Human Calamity, Earth Calamity, Heaven Calamity, Ten Directions Great Calamity, Great Calamity, and Immeasurable Great Calamity.

The Immeasurable Calamity is the greatest calamity controlled by the Great Dao. If the Immeasurable Calamity were to occur, it would mean that the Great Dao would start from itself and clean everything up, starting from scratch.

As for the calamity under the immeasurable calamity, that is a calamity that will completely cleanse and kill even the Great Luo Golden Immortal. In other words, once this calamity occurs, the Great Evolution Dao Lord will not even be able to achieve eternal silence, but will directly die and disappear from the Great Dao.

However, there is a premise: all calamities can be avoided, including great calamities.

The Jade Emperor unleashed a great calamity, but the Great Evolution Dao Lord, whose cultivation was nearly equal to that of the Jade Emperor, was able to escape it.

The problem is that the Great Evolution Dao Lord is currently being suppressed by Zhuang Yan, and he cannot escape.

As the great calamity descended, Zhuang Yan's Heavenly Dao Domain also began to collapse. However, Zhuang Yan was also rapidly gathering his Heavenly Dao Domain, shrinking it to the smallest possible size, just enough to suppress the Great Evolution Dao Lord.

The Great Evolution Dao Master's 'Primordial Qi' vanished the instant the Great Calamity descended. Seeing that the Great Calamity was about to fall upon him, the Great Evolution Dao Master immediately shouted, "Wait!"

As the Jade Emperor propelled the Great Calamity downwards, he smiled at the Great Evolution Dao Master and said, "Fellow Daoist, please speak."

The Great Evolution Dao Master said, "I wish to pass away peacefully and return to the Great Dao. I ask Fellow Daoist Haotian to grant my request."

Returning to the Great Dao through self-cultivation, although one will become a law existing under the Great Dao, without freedom or any consciousness, is still better than simply perishing.

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor immediately stopped the eon and said, "Then please, fellow Daoist, pass away peacefully."

The Great Dao Master sighed and said, "The Great Dao has already chosen Pangu's Heavenly Dao to create chaos. All that I have done is in vain. Alas! Enough!"

After saying this, the Great Evolution Dao Master immediately dispersed all his Daoist power, sat upright, formed the Sitting Transformation Seal with his hands, and began to pass away peacefully.

The process of the Great Evolution Dao Master's passing lasted for seven days. On the seventh day at midnight, the Great Evolution Dao Master completely returned to the Great Dao.

As the Great Dao Lord returned to the Great Dao and vanished into thin air, Zhuang Yan finally withdrew his great power, and the Jade Emperor also withdrew the power of the Great Tribulation.

After dealing with the Great Evolution Dao Lord, the two of them traveled without stopping, following the Great Evolution Dao Lord's origins, and arrived directly at the Tai Shi Continent.

"So this is where the Great Evolution Dao Master obtained the Primordial Spiritual Energy."

When the two entered Tai Shi Continent, they saw the incredibly prosperous Tai Shi spiritual energy there, and the Jade Emperor couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Zhuang Yan asked, "How come there is still a continent in this chaos?"

After pondering for a moment, the Jade Emperor said, "This Fangzhou Continent should be the last manifestation of the Primordial Qi, which is why it has such a prosperous Primordial Spiritual Energy."

Zhuang Yan nodded in realization. At that moment, the two of them simultaneously sensed that there were six more magnificent and boundless auras within the Tai Shi Continent, and that these auras were all gathered in one place.

"It seems that all the Dao Lords have been invited here by the Great Evolution Dao Lord. Perfect, we don't need to search for them one by one; let's just capture them all here in one fell swoop," said the Jade Emperor.

Zhuang Yan nodded, and then the two of them went directly to the bamboo hut where the Great Evolution Dao Master was located, where everyone was gathered.

"This Fellow Daoist Dayan asked us to come here to discuss matters seven days ago. Why are we all here, but he is not?" the Five Elements Daoist Master asked in surprise.

The Lord of Destiny smiled and said, "Everyone, don't be impatient, let's wait a little longer."

In any case, the world has no meaning for these Dao Lords, so let's just wait and see.

Just as everyone was preparing to wait, Zhuang Yan spoke up from above, "I'm sorry, Dao Lord Dayan asked the two of us to pass on a message to you all, he can't come."

"Hmm?" The six Dao Lords present looked up at the same time and saw Zhuang Yan and the Jade Emperor appear above them, riding on mysterious light. After Zhuang Yan finished speaking, he directly activated the 'Heavenly Dao Mode'.

The Heavenly Dao Domain now directly covered the entire Tai Shi Continent. The magnificent and boundless power of the Heavenly Dao Laws crashed down, directly suppressing the six Dao Lords: Destiny, Positive and Negative, Four Symbols, Four Seasons, Withering and Flourishing, and Five Elements.

"It's the Jade Emperor and the Divine Firmament Emperor of the Pangu Heavenly Dao!" The Five Elements Dao Master recognized the two and immediately began to resist.

Upon hearing the words of the Five Elements Dao Master, the other five Dao Masters also reacted and, in their shock, immediately chose to resist.

The six Dao Lords joined forces to resist, and their combined power was no less than that of the Great Evolution Dao Lord. However, their only drawback was that they were not a single person and did not possess the Great Evolution power of the Great Evolution Dao Lord.

Although I have absorbed a lot of Primordial Spiritual Energy in these days, it is impossible to refine all of it for my own use in such a short time.

Therefore, Zhuang Yan directly activated the functions of the Great Dao being formless, limitless and infinite, changing fate, creating all things, etc., and directly crushed them, dividing and breaking the great power of the six Dao Lords one by one, and suppressing all six Dao Lords in just twelve hours.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor unleashed a great calamity. When the six Dao Lords saw the calamity, they were all filled with fear and despair.

However, at this moment, the great calamity stopped abruptly and did not continue to descend.

Then everyone heard the Jade Emperor say, "The Great Evolution Dao Master has already passed away and returned to the Great Dao. Fellow Daoists, what is your choice? Do you choose this great calamity, or do you also return to the Great Dao?"

Upon hearing this, the Dao Masters immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "We are willing to pass away peacefully and return to the Great Dao."

"Very well," the Jade Emperor said with a smile, "then please, fellow Daoists."

Upon hearing this, the Dao Lords all sighed, then sat up and began to form hand seals to pass away peacefully.

Three days later, all six Dao Lords—Destiny, Positive and Negative, Four Symbols, Four Seasons, Withering and Flourishing, and Five Elements—passed away peacefully, their Dao dissipated, and they returned to the Great Dao.

At this moment, Zhuang Yan, who had absorbed all his power, stood side by side with the Jade Emperor, looking at the prosperous Tai Shi Ling Ji in Tai Shi Continent before them, and the two remained silent for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, the Jade Emperor finally spoke, saying, "These last wisps of primordial energy, transformed into primordial spiritual energy, will disappear after the creation of chaos. I think we should not waste them."

At this point, the Jade Emperor looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "The two of us here will each absorb and refine the Primordial Spiritual Energy. How much we can absorb depends on our own abilities, how about it?"

Zhuang Yan nodded and smiled, "Okay."

So the two of them went to the two extreme points of the sky above Tai Shi Continent, and then sat down cross-legged to begin absorbing the spiritual energy of Tai Shi Continent.

This period of time is extremely long, ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years, ten thousand years.

In the blink of an eye, 127,000 years passed. On this day, a strange change suddenly occurred in the chaos. Two primordial, boundless, supreme and great auras descended and covered the vast, boundless chaos.

These two imposing auras directly suppressed the chaos, and the originally violent and turbulent chaotic energy became calm and quiet under their influence.

At the same time, the last Tai Shi Continent, formed from the Primordial Qi, collapsed and vanished into nothingness, and two figures emerged from the dissipated Tai Shi Continent.

There were no unusual phenomena surrounding the two of them; in fact, they blended in with everything around them, showing no sign of surprise.

The two people appeared ordinary yet extraordinary, and the two streams of energy that covered the entire chaos originated from them.

These two were none other than the Jade Emperor and Zhuang Yan, who had absorbed and refined the Primordial Spiritual Energy of 127,000 years in the Primordial Continent. They absorbed and refined all the Primordial Spiritual Energy in the Primordial Continent and successfully attained the supreme Dao Fruit, 'Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal'.

At this moment, their gazes covered the entire chaotic world.

The two exchanged a smile, then each withdrew their aura and power, and simultaneously took a step, traversing the boundless chaos and instantly returning to the Pangu Heavenly Dao.

127,000 years have passed since they left Pangu's Heavenly Dao. Adding the previous 2,500 years, less than 20 years remain before the creation of Chaos. (End of Chapter)
