Chapter 1030

Taking advantage of Ancestor Hongjun's weakening control over the Primordial World, whether to rebel against him or to break free from his dominion, is now the most opportune moment.

Among the Primordial Six Sages, the Supreme Tai Sheng is the wisest.

He was the first among the Six Sages to uncover the secret of the Sage position, and the first to discern Ancestor Hongjun's true nature.

For all these years, his quiet inaction stemmed not only from his temperament and the pure nature of his Dao, but chiefly from his desire to escape Ancestor Hongjun's control.

Do more, make more mistakes; do less, make fewer mistakes.

The less he interferes in the mundane affairs of the Primordial World, the less he is targeted by schemes.

Of all the Primordial Six Sages, only the Supreme Tai Sheng sees this most clearly.

After decades of arduous cultivation, with his wisdom and insight, the Supreme Tai Sheng has finally found a glimmer of possibility to resist Ancestor Hongjun.

Thus, the Supreme Tai Sheng has been waiting, awaiting the moment to act.

After the end of the Journey to the West calamity, that will be the moment the Supreme Tai Sheng prepares to risk everything.

Even if he cannot stop Ancestor Hongjun from seizing control of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, he can use the opportunity to break free from Ancestor Hongjun's control—or even leave the Primordial World.

In truth, this moment was not chosen deliberately by the Supreme Tai Sheng, but forced upon him.

If this moment is missed, the Primordial Heavenly Dao will fall utterly under Ancestor Hongjun's control.

Facing Ancestor Hongjun, who commands the Primordial Heavenly Dao, all beings of the Primordial World will have not the slightest chance to resist.

The Six Sages, unless they choose to become Ancestor Hongjun's lackeys and survive under his oppression, will be utterly erased by him.

To Ancestor Hongjun, the Sages are not truly important.

Had the Heavenly Dao not forbidden it, Ancestor Hongjun would have long since wiped out the Sages who defied him.

Once Ancestor Hongjun dominates the Heavenly Dao, even the Sages will be at his mercy—life or death, entirely at his whim.

The Supreme Tai Sheng possesses his own pride; becoming Ancestor Hongjun's lackey and clinging to life is something he would never do.

He would rather die than do it.

This so-called opportunity was not deliberately chosen by the Supreme Tai Sheng, but forced upon him.

In the Supreme Tai Sheng's view, it is the only moment he can escape the Heavenly Dao's control.

Yet the Supreme Tai Sheng never anticipated that, just as the Journey to the West calamity was about to begin, Luo Fu would emerge as an unpredictable variable.

After Luo Fu's appearance—especially after Luo Fu forced the Western Two Sages to their deaths—the balance in the Supreme Tai Sheng's heart began to tilt.

The resurrection of the Twelve Ancestral Ancestors was the final straw.

Under these circumstances, the Supreme Tai Sheng can no longer wait for the end of the Journey to the West calamity.

The turmoil stirred by Luo Fu is too great; the Journey to the West calamity is almost certainly impossible to proceed.

If he does not act now, after Luo Fu's upheaval, Ancestor Hongjun will be far more vigilant.

Even if the Supreme Tai Sheng still wishes to act, he likely will never find another chance.

Due to Luo Fu's upheaval, this is now the final and only moment the Supreme Tai Sheng can successfully break free from Ancestor Hongjun's control and prevent him from seizing the Heavenly Dao.

Though forced to alter his plan, the Supreme Tai Sheng does not regard it as a misfortune.

Luo Fu is far too mysterious and hides his intentions deeply.

No one knows whether Luo Fu still has other hidden moves.

Moreover, since his appearance, Luo Fu has moved step by step with meticulous care.

He has gradually dismantled Ancestor Hongjun's arrangements—and even forced Ancestor Hongjun to deploy his own hidden cards.

This reveals that Luo Fu understands Ancestor Hongjun's secrets intimately, and his rebellion is not impulsive, but part of a comprehensive plan.

With such deep knowledge of Ancestor Hongjun, and having chosen to rebel, Luo Fu must surely possess a hidden trump card capable of rivaling Ancestor Hongjun.

A trump card capable of standing even against Ancestor Hongjun himself.

Only then could Luo Fu remain so utterly composed.

No one knows why, but Ancestor Hongjun's power is the greatest reason the myriad beings of the Primordial World dare not resist.

For some reason, deep within, the Supreme Tai Sheng has a premonition: Luo Fu may very well succeed in stopping Ancestor Hongjun from devouring the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

This is one reason the Supreme Tai Sheng has decided to act.

"I hope my premonition is not mistaken!"

After gazing deeply at Luo Fu, the Supreme Tai Sheng closed his eyes, boundless Yin-Yang Dao rhythms swirling around him.

"The pivot of movement and stillness, mother of Yin and Yang—Yin never leaves Yang, Yang never leaves Yin. Yin and Yang complement each other, reaching the realm of the Divine..."

Waves of Daoic chants echoed through the Eight Scenery Palace.

Under the flow of boundless Daoic rhythms, the Supreme Tai Sheng's form split directly into four.

Then, the four figures split again, becoming eight.

And these eight figures divided into black and white hues, appearing profoundly strange.

Fire Cloud Cave.

"The Twelve Ancestral Ancestors? They've been resurrected—could this also be Luo Fu's doing?"

The moment the Twelve Ancestral Ancestors appeared in the Outer Heavens, Emperor Fu Xi leapt to his feet.

The resurrection of the Twelve Ancestral Ancestors had clearly surprised Emperor Fu Xi as well.

Yet, recalling how Luo Fu had previously resurrected the Ancestral Dragon, the Phoenix, and the Beginning Qilin, Emperor Fu Xi felt somewhat reassured.

If Luo Fu could resurrect the Ancestral Dragon, the Phoenix, and the Beginning Qilin, he could certainly resurrect the Twelve Ancestral Ancestors.

But comparatively, the Twelve Ancestral Ancestors shocked Emperor Fu Xi far more than the Ancestral Dragon, the Phoenix, or the Beginning Qilin.

When the Ancestral Dragon, the Phoenix, and the Beginning Qilin were alive, Emperor Fu Xi had already been born—but he was merely an insignificant minor figure.

During the Three Clans War, Emperor Fu Xi did not even have the qualifications to participate.

Thus, he had little memory of the Ancestral Dragon, the Phoenix, or the Beginning Qilin.

Forget about Emperor Fu Xi of Heaven; even the Six Holy Ones of the Primordial Era had little memory of the Ancestral Dragon, the Phoenix, or the Beginning Qilin.

That era held too much darkness and secrecy—it was an era meant to be buried.

The Twelve Ancestral Wushu were different.

Emperor Fu Xi of Heaven was also one of the Demon Clan; how could he be unfamiliar with the Twelve Ancestral Wushu?
