Chapter 251 Yuanshi Tianzun Assists in Breakthrough
However, just as Taibai was excitedly watching all this, he received a summons from Yuanshi Tianzun in his sea of consciousness.
Upon hearing the message from the Primordial Celestial Venerable, Taibai immediately sent out his divine sense towards the direction of Yuntong Pass.
A moment later, the divine sense responded, and the list already contained 245 names.
"Now that things have come to this, there's no need to worry. This great calamity can be left to its own devices. But for the sake of complete safety, we still need to preserve an avatar."
After saying this, he created an avatar, while his main body transformed into a stream of light and headed straight for Kunlun Mountain.
Mount Kunlun stands majestically to the east of Chaoge, the two places separated by a great distance.
Even with Taibai's cultivation level, it still took him two whole days to escape.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw only celestial birds fluttering among the layered peaks, but not a single person in sight.
Taibai felt a slight chill, realizing that the Antarctic Immortal, Yun Zhongzi, and others had all been sent down the mountain to assist in the battle.
He didn't pay much attention and immediately flew towards the Jade Void Palace.
The palace was shrouded in mist, and at this moment, the Primordial Celestial Venerable was sitting in meditation in the Jade Void Palace.
Only when Taibai stepped into the palace gate did his calm, still eyes slowly open.
"Disciple pays respects to Master."
Taibai bowed respectfully, but noticed that his master's aura was different from usual.
"Get up. You've stirred up quite a storm during the Investiture of the Gods calamity; you're certainly capable."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it, and a burst of dazzling golden light entered Taibai's brow.
Taibai focused his mind and looked inward, and saw the complete plan for the Investiture of the Gods emerge in the radiance.
When he saw the contents of the edict, he couldn't help but gasp.
The plan was exactly the same as the trajectory of destiny in his memory, with even the smallest details fitting perfectly.
The actions of Yuanshi Tianzun were not intended to hold anyone accountable; rather, they reflected a deeper consideration.
The general trend of Heaven is to bestow titles upon 365 righteous gods, but there is a very vague definition among them, which is the fall of Shang and the rise of Zhou.
Therefore, even the Primordial Celestial Venerable did not know whether the fall of the Shang and the rise of the Zhou were within the general trend of the Heavenly Dao.
Furthermore, since Taiqing had not told Yuanshi Tianzun about Houtu, he was more worried about Taibai putting himself in danger.
"This disciple knows his sins. In truth, this disciple did not want to do this, but this disciple still has a great karmic debt with Emperor Xin that has not been settled, so I had no choice but to do it."
After listening to Taibai's words, Yuanshi Tianzun scanned the area with his divine sense.
After a long while, Yuanshi Tianzun withdrew his divine sense, but found nothing amiss, and there were no causal lines on Taibai's body.
Li Bai had anticipated this, and calmly replied:
"This matter involves significant cause and effect, and I dare not speak rashly. If you have any doubts, Master, you may consult Master Taiqing directly."
This statement caused Yuanshi Tianzun to fall into deep thought.
As a saint, he could be described as omniscient and omnipotent.
However, if the opponent's cultivation level is stronger than one's own, then they can also make one deaf or blind.
After a moment, he could only sigh helplessly. It seemed that if he wanted to know the truth, he could only go to his elder brother.
"Very well, since that's the case, then I will go and ask my elder brother myself."
The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable echoed slowly within the Jade Void Palace, carrying a hint of imperceptible solemnity.
His gaze fell on Taibai beneath him, and he continued:
"You must remember that everything should be based on your own cultivation; do not put the cart before the horse. Keep this fragment safe."
As he spoke, the light in his palm dimmed slightly, revealing an object.
The object was triangular in shape, with a dull, indistinct luster flowing around its edges.
Yuanshi Tianzun gently pushed it, and the fragment slowly flew towards Taibai.
"Although the origin of this item is difficult to ascertain, it does indeed contain a wisp of the original power of the Time Demon God, and its power is extremely pure."
You can use this to warp time and attempt a breakthrough. If you cultivate diligently, you may have a chance to reach the perfect state of a Primordial Golden Immortal before the end of the Great Tribulation.
Taibai was pleasantly surprised, not expecting that his teacher would have such a thing.
He bowed and accepted the fragment with both hands. The fragment felt slightly heavy in his hands, but he didn't feel anything extra.
Only the instant the skin was touched did he sense a power of time in his mind.
The actions of Yuanshi Tianzun did not stop. He raised his hand again and gestured towards Taibai.
In an instant, a clear and melodious humming sound rang out from Taibai's body, and the Pangu Banner unfurled in mid-air.
The banner was shrouded in chaotic energy, exuding a natural Daoist charm, and it floated quietly before the sage.
"This calamity of the conferment of gods has far-reaching implications and is no longer a matter for our three sects of Xuanmen."
Those two in the West will probably try to interfere. So, I've sealed some magical power into this banner.
If you encounter someone who is shameless and reckless, you can use this to defend yourself.
After Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, the Pangu Banner had already transformed into a stream of light and returned to the depths of Taibai Yuanshen for nurturing.
Taibai felt the faint connection between the treasure and the fragment within his body, knowing it was a great gift from his teacher. He immediately bowed and said sincerely:
"Disciple thanks Master for your great kindness and protection."
"It's alright. I observe that your aura is abundant and your foundation in the Dao is solid. You are only one step away from the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm."
Since that's the case, you should leave after you've achieved this breakthrough.
"I have recently been studying the profound mysteries of the laws of time, which can lend you a helping hand and shorten the time needed for your seclusion."
To receive personal protection and assistance from a sage in one's spiritual practice is an extraordinary opportunity that is extremely rare, if not for the extraordinary times of a great eon.
Taibai was naturally grateful, but at this moment, the Great Tribulation was at its most dangerous, and he feared that something might go wrong if he were to go into seclusion here.
As if sensing his thoughts, the Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke before he could even utter a word:
"No need to worry. With this fragment as your aid and the guidance of the time law, you should be able to succeed in five to seven days at the shortest."
Besides, didn't you already leave a clone to travel through the calamity? Now the names on the Investiture of the Gods list are almost full, and although the calamity is strong, the situation is gradually becoming clearer.
The Amitabha and Cundi sects have their own plans, and they are currently powerless to cause any further trouble. Just calm down.
Seeing that the teacher has thought things through and made proper arrangements, it would seem pretentious to refuse again.
With this thought in mind, Taibai made up his mind and immediately stopped hesitating. He found a futon under the cloud bed, sat down cross-legged, calmed his mind and began to draw upon the opportunity for breakthrough that lay in the darkness.
Yuanshi Tianzun said nothing more, and with a light flick of his sleeves, streaks of silvery light spread out from his body.
The radiance did not spread; instead, it gathered into a stream and slowly poured into the triangular fragment floating in front of Taibai.
The fragments, nourished by the laws of time, immediately underwent a transformation.
The dull luster on the surface quietly faded away, and a wisp of pure time and space Dao rhythm emanated from the fragment, slowly enveloping Taibai.
Taibai's mind sank into the deepest state of meditation, and his magical power fluctuated accordingly.
Inside the Jade Void Palace, the flow of time seemed to become subtle.
Cultivation knows no time, and breakthroughs can happen in the blink of an eye.
However, unexpectedly, during the time when Taibai was breaking through his cultivation level, problems did indeed arise on the Shang-Zhou battlefield.
