Chapter 491

Boom—boom—boom—

The heavens and earth continuously roared, as if countless lightning bolts wove across the sky.

This time, the changes in heaven and earth were not a scene of world's end, for the myriad beings of the Primordial World all seemed to hear a great joy of the cosmos.

It was as if heaven and earth themselves were rejoicing.

Most Primordial beings had no idea what caused this feeling.

Of course, compared to the past, when Luo Fu reversed the Dao of the Era of Kalpa Tribulation and made heaven and earth appear ready to destroy the world, this was vastly different.

At this moment, though heaven and earth continued to roar without cease, the myriad beings of the Primordial World could hear that this time, heaven and earth were not enraged.

Rather, it was as if the Primordial heavens and earth were about to congratulate some being, filled with joy.

Upon Mount Kunlun.

Laozi, Master Yuanshi, and Tongtian Jiaozhu—the three Holy Ones—stood in the void, gazing far across the sky.

As Holy Ones, they could discern far more from the roaring of heaven and earth.

"Senior Brother Laozi, did you hear it?" Tongtian Jiaozhu wore a solemn expression, his eyes gleaming faintly.

"Yuanshi, what did you sense?" Laozi did not answer, but turned to Master Yuanshi.

"Senior Brother, has someone attained the Dao?" Master Yuanshi drew a deep breath and spoke gravely.

Yes.

The changes in this heaven and earth now bore great similarity to when they themselves had attained the Dao as Heavenly Holy Ones; they could feel the joy suffusing the cosmos.

"Correct. I think so too," Tongtian Jiaozhu nodded. "But who, at this time, could attain the Hunyuan Great Dao? Under normal circumstances, no one should be able to succeed in attaining the Dao now."

Holy Ones could instantly know past and future.

Though the heavens and earth had fallen into chaos due to the Warlord-Asura Era of Kalpa Tribulation, regarding matters of the Heavenly Holy Ones, they, as Holy Ones, were fully aware.

Though many Quasi-Saints roamed the Primordial World.

Whether it was Ancestor Minghe in the Blood Sea, Zhenyuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple, or the Yao Clan's Di Jun and Dong Huang Taiyi, or the Zu Wu of the Witch Clan.

All were among the peak powerhouses of the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Yet even these peak powerhouses, their gap to the Hunyuan Great Dao remained immeasurably vast.

This, those who had previously attained the Dao—such as the Three Pure Ones—knew well.

After all, they themselves had once been true peak Quasi-Saints, yet even then, they had little hope of becoming Hunyuan Great Daoists.

Of course, with time, perhaps one day they could reach such a state.

But that would require time—time impossible to spare during the Warlord-Asura Era of Kalpa Tribulation.

This point.

After becoming Holy Ones, their self-calculation became far more precise and clear.

They had succeeded in attaining the Hunyuan Great Dao only through merit and cosmic fortune.

The other Holy Ones were the same.

Now, in this Primordial World, no Quasi-Saint possessed the ability to attain the Hunyuan Great Dao on their own.

Of course, perhaps the beings of the Primordial World could still attain the Dao through merit and cosmic fortune.

Like Houtu in history.

But clearly, no merit or cosmic fortune had descended upon this heaven and earth before.

"Correct," Laozi also nodded. "Clearly, if someone attains the Dao now, it cannot be through merit or cosmic fortune. But without merit, who has the qualification to independently attain the Hunyuan Great Dao?"

Scanning the Quasi-Saints of the Primordial World, though all were formidable—when the Three Pure Ones were still Quasi-Saints, these Quasi-Saints could match them to some degree—

the strength of these Primordial Quasi-Saints was limited to this.
