Chapter 207: The beginning of the catastrophe, the vision for the future

Obviously, the development of things was just as Qi Yu expected – the accumulated contradictions between the witch and demon races were so deep that both sides could ignore all external factors and turn their spearheads directly to each other under any circumstances.

This is the case right now. It was obviously Qi Yu who had restrained Di Jun with words before, but at this moment, Di Jun and Di Jiang, the two old enemies, ignored him as the instigator and only had eyes for each other.

Admittedly, there was a factor that Di Jun wanted to take the opportunity to divert attention, but the grudge between the two sides should not be ignored. This was an equally important inducement.

At this moment, following Di Jun’s declaration, Di Jiang in the Witch God Temple slowly smiled. His smile was extremely cold, even a little bloodthirsty.

“What a Demon Emperor! He hasn’t even ascended the throne yet, but he’s already so arrogant!”

“I want to see if you, a mere golden crow, have the ability to do this—”

The next moment, Di Jiang soared into the sky and rushed towards Di Jun without any hesitation!
He obviously understood that with Qi Yu’s previous remarks paving the way for them, this was already the best opportunity for the Witch Clan to counterattack the Demon Clan. Of course, it might also be the last opportunity.

After all, no matter what, Di Jun was already the successor clearly designated by Taiyi, and he held the legal rights to ascend the throne as the Emperor of Heaven, and he could not be easily shaken.

If today’s plan fails, then when the Wu Clan makes a move against Di Jun again, it will be difficult for them to have a suitable excuse like now. They will most likely appear as traitors to the gods and rebels in the Heavenly Court, and may even be boycotted by countless powerful people. Rather than reaching that point in the future, it is better to take action now. The chances of winning will be much greater!
“He is just a traitor. His tricks are just like the glow of rotten grass. How can they compete with the sun?”

“Come and die for me—”

Immediately, Di Jun also let out a long roar, and began to counterattack with the power of stars all around him.

At the same time, the strong men from the three lineages of the Emperor of Heaven, the Demon Clan, and the Sun Star God, as well as the other eleven ancestor witches of the Witch Clan and all the other strong men in the Witch God Temple also joined the battle, each following their own leader, and a melee broke out immediately on Mount Buzhou!
You must know that the demon clan and the witch clan are the overlords of the world today. Their power and strength are not just talk. They really have 60 to 70 percent of the strong people in the world today.

Both sides came out in full force, and the scene was naturally as terrible as the collapse of heaven and earth. From the very beginning of the confrontation, blood flowed like a river, and the sky was flashing with bloody light.

Qi Yu stood deep in the surrounding area, far away from the battlefield of Buzhou Mountain. He was not affected at all at this moment. He saw it more clearly because he was outside the situation – as the two tribes went to war, the overall situation between heaven and earth had quietly changed. Above the earth, wisps of calamity were emerging from the earth veins; in the sky, the secrets of heaven were gradually becoming obscure, and the calamity of heaven was breeding here.

This is a precursor to a catastrophe!
“The catastrophe has arrived!”

Qi Yu sighed. He didn’t know when the Lord of Morality appeared beside him – this was the helper he chose in order to take in the Nine Heavenly Abysses. Now, there was no calamity from the heaven and no strong man to stop him, so there was no need for the Lord of Morality to take action.

As for why he appeared at this moment, it was naturally because the Supreme Taoist Ancestor was somewhat curious about the Hunyuan Taoism created by Taiyi, so he took the initiative to walk out of Kunlun Mountain and stand shoulder to shoulder with Qi Yu.

After hearing Qi Yu’s sigh, Lord of Dao and Morality was silent for a while, and only spoke after a long time.

“What do you think of this catastrophe, fellow Daoist? Can it be compared to the Longhan catastrophe?”

In response to this, Qi Yu did not give a direct answer, but just said slowly.

“Is Di Jun about to reach the peak now? With the legacy of Taiyi, he is destined to take that path at the fastest speed. Coupled with the Zhoutian Xingdou formation, he is no worse than anyone else.”

“The Witch Clan should not be underestimated. Each of the twelve witch ancestors is extraordinary, and now they still hold the position of the Earth Emperor.”

After hearing this, the Lord of Morality clearly understood the implication of Qi Yu’s words. In the latter’s eyes, this was at least a catastrophe that could be compared to the Longhan catastrophe back then, and it might even be worse. It would probably not be an exaggeration to call it a great catastrophe!
This was naturally a disaster for Honghuang, but not necessarily for Xuanmen. For a moment, the Lord of Morality was a little bored, and after being silent for a long time again, he finally spoke.

“Fellow Daoist, how do you plan to deal with the nine abysses, and where do you plan to place the Primal Chaos Sea of ​​Energy?”

At this moment, Lord Daode did not want to continue the previous topic, so he brought up a new topic.

Qi Yu certainly had his own considerations on this.

“It is indeed a wonderful idea for Taiyi to open up nine great abysses to gather the sea of ​​primordial energy. With this Taoism, it is possible to continuously transform the boundless chaos, build an external cycle, inject infinite vitality into the prehistoric world, and achieve a great merit.”

“However, this is a completely Shinto method. If this method is used, the only ones who benefit are the gods and heaven. This is something we cannot do.”

“Therefore, I have some new ideas. I can separate the nine Heavenly Abysses that have been fully developed from the Chaos Yuanqi Sea, re-smelt them, and transform them into new Taoism.”

Having said that, Qi Yu paused, then looked at the Lord of Morality and smiled.

“The former can be refined into the Earth Realm, combined with the Black Water Abyss, and then assisted by the Nine Springs, so as to perfect the foundation of the great cycle of water elements in the Three Realms, and inject new vitality into the primitive water elements with the endless power of chaos.”

“As for the latter, I intend to integrate it into the Supreme Daluo Heaven to construct the Immortal Saint Realm.” “I have already thought of a name, it can be Hunyuan Taiji Realm. I wonder what you think, and whether you are willing to give it up for my idea?”

As he spoke, Qi Yu winked at the Lord of Morality. Upon hearing this, the Lord of Morality’s expression froze for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he immediately stretched out his hand to calculate –

“Your concern is indeed far-reaching. Could it be that you want to create a situation where the Hunyuan Emperor can suppress the prehistoric world?”

Daode Tianzun sighed deeply, amazed at Qi Yu’s genius idea, but soon he realized a problem in Qi Yu’s idea. Once such a Hunyuan Taiji Realm was established, and the Emperor of Heaven was in charge of the Supreme Daluo Heaven, where would the Three Pure Ones be placed? Wouldn’t the many Xuanmen ancestors fall into disgrace?
Taking into account that most of the land has now fallen into Qi Yu’s hands, Lord of Morality felt even more subtle, but he also knew that Qi Yu would not be so arrogant, so he just looked at the latter with a slight teasing look.

After hearing what the Lord of Dao and Morality said, Qi Yu was not flustered and immediately gave his own explanation.

“You are only half right, my friend. I do intend to create an almighty Primordial Heavenly Emperor, but it does not stop there.”

“I don’t know, are you willing to join hands with fellow Daoists Yuanshi and Lingbao to open up the Three Pure Ones Heaven, and together with the Supreme Daluo Heaven, serve as the cornerstone to protect the holy realm of the immortal way?”

As he spoke, Qi Yu waved his hand and interpreted a picture of the thirty-six heavens in the void. It was not a modification or addition to the current structure of the thirty-three heavens of Xuanmen, but it was based on the nine-fold divine sky of the Emperor’s era, and interpreted the thirty-two heavens, which carried the Three Pure Heavens and the Daluo Heaven Hunyuan Realm.

“I believe that the three Daoists, as direct descendants of Pangu, will surely be able to attain the Dao and become saints. In the current prehistoric world, there are also several Daoists who are very extraordinary and have the appearance of Hunyuan. Therefore, I have specially built this Hunyuan Holy Land, which can also be regarded as a place for the residence of the Hunyuan Saint.”

“With the Nine Great Abysses as a response, as long as there are not ten saints living in the same world in the future, the Hunyuan Taiji Realm is capable of bearing it.”

What Qi Yu said was actually what he now thought was the upper limit of the carrying capacity of the prehistoric world for a long period of time in the future – it was true that all three thousand great ways could lead to sainthood, but it did not mean that the prehistoric world today could carry the existence of saints without limit. The way of heaven had its limits, and the world itself also had an upper limit of carrying capacity!

The Nine Hunyuans is the upper limit. Within this range, the Heavenly Dao is sufficient to support the existence of saints, and the heaven and earth can also provide for the nine Hunyuan Dao fruits.

Once this number is exceeded, the cycle of the prehistoric world will inevitably collapse, and the saints will probably start a war due to various disputes. If things go wrong, it may even lead to the arrival of the infinite calamity ahead of time!

Of course, this is not without a solution. If you want the prehistoric world to be able to accommodate more saints, there are naturally some ways –

The first is that a saint would voluntarily step down and completely leave the prehistoric world to make way for newcomers. This would naturally allow more powerful people to become saints. However, this is obviously the most passive approach.

The second is the autonomous advancement of Honghuang, which requires the emergence of enough pioneering saints in the future to jointly promote the upward trend of heaven and earth. When the time comes, the way of heaven will naturally sublimate and can accommodate more powerful people to prove the way.

Thirdly, there must be a strong person who is completely above the chaos, which will satisfy the two previous paths at the same time. On the one hand, it can make room for latecomers, and on the other hand, it can promote the upgrading of the chaos in one fell swoop.

However, this is a road that even Pangu could not take, so we naturally cannot think too much about it at the moment and can only treat it as a beautiful expectation.

The above is all that Qi Yu could think of. Of course, Daode Tianzun was not aware of this. He was just somewhat impressed that Qi Yu had planned so far ahead. He was a little surprised, and at the same time, he found Qi Yu’s optimism a little funny.

You know, since the beginning of the world, there have been many strong people who have tried to prove the Tao, and the number has almost exceeded the number of two hands. However, throughout the ages, there has not been a single strong person who has truly succeeded in proving the Tao of Hunyuan. All of them have failed at the last level of proving the Tao.

Among them, the best were the Three Emperors of the ancient times and Taiyi and others before him. They were very close to success, but ultimately failed.

Against such a backdrop, the Lord of Daode had no idea why Qi Yu was so confident. Not only did he believe that his three fellow disciples would surely be able to attain Hunyuan, he also reserved nine Hunyuan positions for the future of the prehistoric world. It could be said that he had already divided up the cake before things even began to take shape.

However, Lord Daode had not thought much about this. In short, from the current perspective, such a division would bring only benefits to the Three Pure Ones and no harm at all, so he had no reason to object.

Looking at Qi Yu’s plan, he just asked his last question.

“There is no problem with your plan, but why must the nine abysses be in the earthly realm? If it is only for the purpose of perfecting the water element cycle and transforming the boundless chaos, it seems that it is also possible to place the nine abysses in the heavenly realm? It can also assist the heavenly realm and operate the destiny.”

In response, Qi Yu smiled slightly and gave his own answer.

“You are right, but you forgot one thing.”

“what’s up?”

“Reincarnation.”
