Since the rise of Buddhism, no major events have occurred in the spiritual practice community.
Thirty million years is but a fleeting moment in the eyes of all the sages.
As the great calamity approached, a layer of calamity aura enveloped the vast primordial world.
On this day, Hu Le stopped cultivating and left Fulitian.
Now, a great calamity is about to begin for humanity, and the primordial creation is about to be completed.
Hu Le should also go and bring Guan Kong back to try and obtain this Primordial Dao Fruit.
Hu Le flew through the chaos and soon arrived at the Fuli Universe.
After so many years, many top-tier innate deities in this universe have already taken human form, and the Heavenly Dao is about to be fully formed.
However, with his saintly incarnation overseeing things, he wasn't too worried about any trouble arising.
He entered the universe, arrived at the Floating Heaven Palace, and met his incarnation.
At this moment, the avatar was still refining the Heavenly Dao, while Guan Kong was comprehending the Primordial Chaos deep within the Heavenly Palace.
Hu Le did not summon Guan Kong immediately, but instead first refined this avatar using the method of transforming into all things.
If he is refined into one of the myriad things, he will no longer need to traverse the chaos when he comes to this world again. At that time, he can simply use the power of the Primordial Great Dao to instantly appear from the Floating Li Universe.
It will be even easier to reap the benefits possessed by this incarnation in the future.
In just a few days, he had completed the refining of his avatar, and then ordered his attendant to summon Guan Kong.
"Greetings, teacher!"
Upon seeing Hu Le in person, Guan Kong hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects and greet him.
"Have you achieved anything over the years?"
Hu Le asked casually.
Guan Kong nodded, "This disciple has indeed gained a great deal. Thank you, teacher, for bringing me here."
He paused, then added with some regret, "Unfortunately, I still cannot attain the Primordial Chaos Realm."
Hu Le comforted him, saying, "You were not born of this world, so how could you achieve the Primordial Dao Fruit here? If you want to prove your Dao, you must return to the Primordial World with your master."
"I sent you here simply so you could experience the mysteries of a different Heavenly Dao."
"So, has the master come to take his disciple back?"
Hu Le nodded, “The primordial world is about to face a great calamity, and disciples of all religions will be caught in this calamity, including my Taoism.”
"I've come to take you back so that you can take charge of the great sect and deal with this calamity."
Upon hearing that another massacre was about to erupt in the primordial world, Guan Kong frowned.
How long has it been since that brutal war of deification? Why is it starting again?
It is said that those who cultivate the Taiyi Sanshu (太乙散数) face numerous tribulations at every step, making it extremely difficult to achieve the Dao fruit.
But now it seems that even disciples of great sects have it tough; when the calamity strikes, they too may turn to ashes...
"Due to the calamity and the workings of cause and effect, a Primordial Dao Fruit will surely be born in this calamity. If one is fortunate enough to obtain it, one can be ranked alongside us, the leaders and saints, in the future."
Now, you are about to sever all three corpses, and are qualified to compete for this great fortune.
Hu Le then revealed the real reason why he had summoned Guan Kong this time.
Upon hearing this, Guan Kong was greatly shaken, and his thoughts instantly snapped out of his sorrow and melancholy over the impending doom.
Now that she knew about this, she naturally wanted to compete and was unwilling to fall behind others.
"Please help me, teacher!" Guan Kong hurriedly prostrated himself and kowtowed.
Hu Le nodded, "You are my disciple, if I don't help you, who else can I help?"
"Thank you for your kindness, teacher." Guan Kong was overjoyed.
"Then you shall return with your master to the primordial world."
"Here you are."
So the master and disciple left the Floating Heaven Palace and went straight to Chaos.
Upon entering the Chaos Realm, Guan Kong reached out and pushed aside his hair bun, and the Innate Creation Cauldron was already suspended above his head, cascading down streams of innate creation energy.
Before the surrounding chaotic energy could get close, it was swept aside by the energy of creation.
Hu Le glanced at it and saw that Guan Kong had already refined this innate treasure to a certain degree...
He took Guan Kong's hand, and with one step, the master and disciple entered the depths of chaos.
Guided by Hu Le, the master and apprentice transformed into streaks of light, traversing the chaos at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye...
Before long, they finally crossed the chaos and returned to the primordial world.
The master and apprentice returned to Fulitian first.
After arriving at the Heavenly Dao Palace, Guan Kong communicated with the Heavenly Dao and quickly learned about the major and minor events that had occurred in the prehistoric world over the years.
Upon learning that Buddhism was now flourishing and suppressing other major religions, she couldn't help but shake her head. Such was the trend, and there was nothing she could do about it.
In this situation, even if she were a Primordial Saint, let alone someone who isn't a Primordial Saint, there's probably not much she could do.
In the depths of her being, she sensed that a layer of calamity was beginning to shroud the primordial world, and that the impending catastrophe was probably very close...
Hu Le gave Guan Kong a few instructions, and Guan Kong obeyed. He then left Fu Li Tian and returned to the mortal realm.
At this time, the largest dynasty in Dongsheng Shenzhou was called the Song Dynasty, and the emperor, surnamed Zhao, sat in the court.
At this time, a million years had passed since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and the emperor was named Zhao Ji.
He ascended the throne at a young age and has now been in charge of the court for fifty years.
Originally, all the emperors of the Song Dynasty were Buddhists, but when it came to Zhao Ji, he did not follow the example of his ancestors. Instead, he chose to worship Taoism and called himself the "Taoist Emperor".
Emperor Huizong of Song was quite wise in his youth, but in his later years he became muddleheaded and went from advocating frugality to indulging in pleasure.
If an emperor becomes corrupt, the changes he brings to the world will be catastrophic.
Because of his incompetence, the court was filled with treacherous and wicked people, and upright gentlemen were either killed or driven out of the court.
To satisfy Zhao Ji's desire for pleasure, a host of treacherous officials went to great lengths to curry favor with him.
While satisfying the emperor's needs, they naturally also made a fortune.
For a time, the government exploited ordinary people to the bone, and everywhere officials oppressed the people to the point of rebellion, leading to widespread uprisings and creating a scene reminiscent of a doomsday dynasty.
Emperor Huizong (Zhao Ji) had dozens of children, many of whom were ambitious and formed cliques, eyeing the throne that was his.
It can be said that the Song Dynasty was already beset by internal and external troubles, and was in danger of collapsing at any moment...
On this day, Emperor Huizong of Song went to court. Before he could even finish discussing some important matters, the ministers started arguing over some power struggles.
On the throne, Zhao Ji watched all of this with a blank expression.
Although he has been extremely negligent in his duties over the years, he has still maintained a keen sensitivity to power after decades in power.
He knew perfectly well who was behind the ministers arguing in the court.
Even though he knew this, he couldn't act immediately, since the people behind those things were mostly his sons.
Looking at the argument below, Zhao Ji felt a headache coming on, then turned to look at Crown Prince Zhao Qin, who was sitting to the side.
Not long after Zhao Qin was born, he was made crown prince. Now he is over forty years old, and perhaps because he has too many worries, he appears somewhat gloomy.
Or perhaps it's because of too many worries, that a few gray hairs have already appeared at my temples...
